After listening to Feng Zai's suggestion, the convoy stopped all the way, although it did not bring the three princes and nine kings and officials at all levels, but because the Western Regions were not the land actually controlled by Daqin after all, the momentum of this trip was even greater than that of the Eastern Tour, and there was no chance to experience the customs and customs except to see the scenery.

Unhurried all the way, when he walked to the foot of the Lintao Great Wall, Wang Jin's 20,000 soldiers and horses had been waiting for three days.

I was very satisfied with the well-groomed and disciplined musketeers.

The musketeers in front of them were hunting with flags, 10,000 infantry carried muskets on their backs and bayonets on their waists, and the 10,000 cavalrymen's main weapons were sabers, but they were also equipped with slightly shorter muskets, which could provide fire support while providing flank protection, and the heavy armor of both was handed over to the baggage convoy.

I waved my hand: "Let's go!" ”

With 20,000 musketeers joining, the entire team reached a terrifying 30,000!

The Praetorian soldiers were puzzled by the strange attire of the musketeers, but when they saw the neat marching procession of the musketeers, they were instantly awe-inspired.

Zhang Siyuan frowned and commanded in a low voice: "Go, tell our people that the marching team must maintain the same strict military discipline as the Ganquan Army!" We must not weaken our momentum in front of the Fire Ganquan Army! If anyone drops the chain for me, I'll cut him! ”

The military marquis Yang De hissed, and also said in a low voice: "Cavalry general, this Ganquan army even walks at the same pace, swings its arms, and carries the stick, our people are afraid that it is ......."

Zhang Siyuan was silent for a long time, sighed, and said helplessly: "Tell me to go down, so as not to let Your Majesty feel that we are far from them......"

"Obey ......"

On the other side, Lieutenant General Lu Ning was also shocked by the strict military discipline and neatness of the musketeers.

"Good fellow, this Ganquan Army can do this! It's really ......."

I can't think of any adjectives in my heart.

The military marquis looked at the cavalry in front of him, and said with a smile: "Che General, General Zhang should have ordered his people to follow the example of the Ganquan Army." ”

Lu Ning also saw Yang De's figure running back and forth in the cavalry ranks, shook his head and said, "Although there is a form but no god, what is the use of imitating it?" The spirit of Ganquanjun cannot be imitated. ”

Negative Ju Gui persuaded: "The car general can't think like this, even if it is plausible, at least in the eyes of His Majesty, we have the heart to be on par with the Ganquan Army, and Your Majesty is also relieved to see it." ”

Lu Ning patted his forehead and laughed at himself: "I am not as good as Zhang Siyuan to please the Taiwei and His Majesty, and this is the reason why I like it." Go, and command to go down. ”

Negative Ju smiled: "Obey." ”

Inside the carriage.

Listening to the neat footsteps of the Ganquan Army, I smiled and said, "Just listening to the sound makes my heart feel comfortable!" ”

Feng Zheng smiled and complimented: "It's all trained by Your Majesty, can Your Majesty feel uncomfortable listening to it?" ”

Staying with Feng Zheng in the past few days has given me a different understanding of him, at least it is much more comfortable to be with him, unlike Li Si.

Hearing this, I laughed and scolded: "You will compliment me!" ”

Feng Zai didn't feel embarrassed, and said naturally: "The ministers are all from the bottom of their hearts." ”

I smiled and didn't continue to talk nonsense with him, and asked, "How far is it to Wuwei?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, you can get there in about fifteen days."

I looked at the map I carried with me next to me, frowned, and said, "It only took ten days from Xianyang to Lintao, right?" The distance from Lintao to Wuwei is closer, and it takes fifteen days? ”

Feng Zai looked out the window and explained: "This is still Zhang Siyuan in front of the clear road, otherwise it will take at least a month to arrive, the section from Lintao to Wuwei is already high and dangerous, and Hexi Road has only been built for less than one-tenth, and it will not be slow in fifteen days." ”

I nodded, and I could feel it from the bumps in the carriage.

"It seems that my decision to stop the war for three years and go all out to build roads is the right one."

Feng Zheng slapped another sentence on the horse: "Your Majesty's eternal merit!" ”

I tapped lightly on the recital in my hand, thought for a while and said, "Go, tell Zhang Siyuan that you don't have to deliberately clear the road, just stop and give way when the convoy passes." ”

Feng Zheng was serious this time, and arched his hand: "The minister and the head of Qiantou have thanked Your Majesty!" ”

Then he leaned out of the carriage.

After two more days of walking, the piles of newspapers in the carriage took up almost half of the carriage, and I got motion sickness because the road was getting more and more bumpy!

I had no choice but to get out of the carriage and ride forward.

Fortunately, the weather is getting warmer, wearing a robe without cotton is neither hot nor cold, and the view of horseback riding is more open, which is comfortable.

Because of the horseback riding, the speed of the convoy was much faster, and it was originally planned to reach Wuwei in fifteen days, but on the eleventh day, Wuwei City could already be seen from afar.

The Wuwei County Guard had already sent people to greet him, and the convoy entered Wuwei City early the next morning.

When Meng Hanyu learned that I was going to the Western Regions, he rushed over from Zhangye and led Wei Tong and Wuwei officials to meet him five miles outside the city gate.

It didn't take long for the time of the Great Dynasty Meeting, and they rushed to Wuwei together without telling him much.

After arriving in Wuwei, I briefly understood the situation in Wuwei, now Wuwei is prosperous in commerce, almost a place where merchants must stay, because it is difficult to get supplies to a section of Longxi, whether it is to go west or return to the east, it is necessary to replenish water and food in Wuwei.

Wuwei's prosperity exceeded my expectations, so I didn't stay long, and after a night's rest, I took Meng Hanyu to Qinchang together.

At the beginning of February, the convoy arrived at the city of Qinchang, and Chai Feng was also waiting at the city gate early.

I stopped at the gate of the city and looked up, Qinchang City was taller and more majestic than Wuwei City, and unlike Wuwei, Qinchang City had a sense of vicissitudes, and there were dark red spots in some places in the lower half.

I was satisfied: "Yes, I originally thought that Wuwei City would be the most majestic, but when I saw this Qinchang City today, it was beyond my expectations. ”

Meng Hanyu smiled slightly, and said with emotion: "When Muerti raided Qinchang, this city wall had not yet been fully completed, even so, if there was no this city wall, I am afraid that Hexi would have fallen into the hands of the Huns, and there would be no prosperity in Hexi and the Western Regions today." ”

I turned around and looked at him and asked curiously, "How far did I cultivate at that time?" ”

Meng Hanyu's eyes glanced at Chai Feng, Chai Feng immediately understood, and his deep voice sounded: "Back to Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please look at those red spots." ”

I turned my head to look, but I reacted instantly, and said in a deep voice, "These red spots ......"

"Your Majesty is wise, it is the bloodstain left by the defense of the city back then." Chai Feng's expression became a little heavy.

"There are Huns, more of them are Qinchang soldiers and Qianshou, and in that battle, Qinchang 4,000 people faced Muerti 70,000 cavalry!

It is said that it is one day, but in fact, it is only two or three hours, and more than 3,000 people died in the battle of 4,000 people!

It was as if the endless blood had dyed the entire unfinished city wall a blinding dark red! After the battle, the ministers had them washed with water and scraped with knives, but the blood had soaked the city walls, and the red spots could not be removed......
