Jiankang City is more like a shopping mall specially designed to connect the inland and the coast, with strong walls like an inland city, and there are also merchants and vendors from all over the world.

Such a special city naturally needs to be garrisoned. In the Tongqi Dynasty, usually the highest military general in each state was the garrison general, and there were four lieutenants under him, each of whom led a guard and 8,000 soldiers and horses. There are eight captains under the captain, each leading 1,000 people.

Therefore, the defenders of a state, including the commander's pro-army under normal conditions, should total about 40,000 people. This kind of military staffing can be regarded as the implementation of the current strong Tongqi Dynasty, the Central Plains Dynasty has changed for thousands of years, and there has never been a dynasty with such a strong national strength and armament as the Tongqi Dynasty today.

It is not possible to complete the first unification of the Central Plains, the first empress appeared, and the former Tang Dynasty, which was once strong, also did not have it.

There are dozens of large and small cities in Dongjiang Prefecture, and there are only a few important cities that are really garrisoned by a large number of armaments.

There is a very exquisite courtyard in the center of Jiankang City, covering an area of more than ten acres, and on the side of this courtyard, there is a majestic mansion, which only covers a wide area, there are hundreds of acres.

This mansion hangs a plaque high, on which is written the Kuohai General's Mansion, and on the vermilion lacquer door that is more than one zhang high, three golden door nails on the left and right are particularly eye-catching.

General Kuohai, the general of the five grades of real power in the Qi Dynasty, this is a military general position that can only be exchanged for real military merits.

At this time, in a military room in the general's palace, a burly man of about forty years old sat quietly on the main seat, and one person sat on each side of his head, both in his early thirties.

Among the three, except for the main man, the other two are all wearing armor, but all three have one thing in common, that is, even when they sit down, they have a straight waist.

These three people are the Dongzhou garrison general who is in the main position, and the general of Kuohai Xi Longquan, because he is good at making a Longquan sword, he is also known as General Longquan.

The other two are Shi Daqi, the left-handed infantry captain, and Xiong Lian'er, the right-handed Xiaocai captain. The two are of similar stature and age.

"Big brother, it stands to reason that our little prince should have arrived in Dongjiang a long time ago, should we send scouts out to find it?" Shi Daqi stood up and walked two steps, and said to Xi Longquan, with a slight worry in his tone.

"Lao Shi is right, eldest brother, our little prince has been used to being delicate since childhood, and this time he was driven out by the prince, and he must have suffered a lot along the way, we can't let him be wronged on the ground of the Dongjiang River. Xi Longquan didn't speak, but Xiong Lian'er spoke first.

Listening to the voice, it is obviously not commensurate with his tall and sturdy appearance, and the slightly gentle voice is worthy of his name "Lian'er".

For the name Xiong Lian'er, there was a joke among a group of brothers who were born like death, at first, others thought that there was a girl's family entering the army, when a group of Ziqiu Ba stared wide-eyed to see what the girl looked like, but it turned out to wait for a man who was almost more burly than them.

At that time, a group of Qiu Ba beat up Xiong Lian'er, who was unfamiliar with the place of life for the first time, Shi Daqi was one of them, and both of them were just twenty years old that year, and officially entered the Tang family army.

The reputation of the little prince Tang Yulou is very loud in Tiange City and Jinchuan, but in the eyes of the three people present, it is not a matter at all. In their opinion, the son of the prince is not normal if he is not a gentleman, and he will not lose his position if he is a top gentleman.

Those who have this idea almost include the middle and senior generals in the entire Tang family's army, and they are all Tang family veterans.

When these veterans followed the prince from birth to death, they couldn't even eat a meal, and they could only sleep in the narrow streets, there would always be a five or six-year-old boy carrying a big bamboo basket on the street, and the basket contained dry food that was obviously saved or collected.

No one can remember the number of times the boy insisted on squeezing on the street, lying with a group of dirty soldiers.

Xi Longquan is five years younger than the Dzi general Wang Tangcheng, and he is just forty this year, and he is also one of the first people to fight the world with Tang Cheng.

One year, Tang Cheng, who was only a general at the time, led the Tang army to fight bloodily, relying on 50,000 iron cavalry, and actually killed 200,000 southern barbarians to the sea, and finally annihilated.

When there were less than 30,000 soldiers in the end, the city of Tiange was full of vegetarians, and the people wore filial piety clothes. On both sides of the streets outside the city, there was no cheering or weeping for the triumphant march of the army, only a heart-wrenching silence.

Xi Longquan, who was already a father at the time, saw his three-year-old daughter in the crowd early, who also had a black veil wrapped around her left arm and a white flower on her head.

After all, the little girl is still young, thinking that she can see her father early and go out of the city to greet her, but she was frightened by the atmosphere of the scene, if it wasn't for a ten-year-old boy holding her little hand tightly, I'm afraid she would have cried a long time ago.

And when the army appeared on the main road, the crowd on both sides began to slowly squeeze towards both sides of the road, and the momentum finally made the little girl cry. At this time, it was the snow-white boy who wiped the tears from the little girl's cheeks, and then carried the little girl up with a smile.

The little girl stopped crying, and the moment the young man picked up the little girl, the smile on his face was gone, and his face was solemn, and he walked in the direction of the army step by step, very slowly, but very steady.

Isn't it just a fight and a brawl to amuse the Oiran in the Qinglou? It's not hurtful to the heavens and reason, and the prince is too fussful. Besides, just by virtue of Xiaolou's appearance, it must have been those Oiran who took the initiative to get up.

Thinking about it, he thought of Tang Yulou's inheritance from the princess and the princess's appearance, of course, the main thing is to inherit the princess, the corners of Xi Longquan's mouth involuntarily curled, he is really more handsome than those oirans.

If you wait a few years, when the girl grows up, it's not bad to give it to Xiaolou.

"Big brother, what do you think, did you hear what we said?" Shi Daqi saw that he didn't speak for a long time when he was smiling to his eldest brother, and he sat there alone and smirked, and immediately shouted with wide eyes.

"What's the noise, what's the noise?" Xi Longquan squinted his eyes and plucked out his ears, glaring at the two guys present.

These three are all genuine Northeast gentlemen, and their personalities and tempers are the same as those of the sea.

"Don't be noisy, then you have an idea. Although Xiong Lian'er's voice sounds gentler than most martial artists, it doesn't mean that his character is docile.

"Scouts are armaments, where can they be transferred for other purposes at will, this is expressly forbidden in my Tang family's army. Xi Longquan also heard what the two of them said just now, this kind of dual-purpose ability is really not covered.

"The little prince is the little master of my Tang family's army. Shi Daqi's voice rose again, but he was quickly glared at by Xi Longquan, and then sat back in the chair with his neck bent.

The news that Tang Cheng, the prince of Tianzhu, drove his only son out of the capital and sent it to Dongjiang Prefecture has long been known to the world. Although Dongjiang is one of the eastern Kyushu and is the territory of the real Tang army, it is also the most complicated place.

Therefore, Xi Longquan calculated the time, and had already sent pro-troops to investigate Tang Yulou's traces along the way three days ago, and was ready to greet him at any time.

But three days have passed, and the time should be in Dongjiang, but there is no news at all.

Xi Longquan is not worried about any accidents on the road, he doesn't believe that the little prince travels, there is really no guard at all, this is the real little prince of the Tang family's army.

Unless they didn't follow the nearest route at all, if that was the case, the pro-army sent out was not born as a scout after all, and there was a greater chance that the two directions would be missed.

Thinking of this, Xi Longquan was faintly worried in his heart. If you have already entered the Dongjiang River, there are too many people in all kinds of rivers and lakes here, and if there are reckless people who don't know the height of the sky and the height of the earth, they have the idea of robbing money, then it will be a big deal.

The more he thought about it, the more shocked he became, Xi Longquan stood up violently, and his back was cold.

Shi Daqi and Xiong Lian'er were stunned by Xi Longquan's reaction, the two glanced at each other, and then suddenly glared at each other, feeling bad.

At this moment, a clear eagle's cry pierced the sky and sounded over the general's mansion.

The three of them rushed out of the house at the same time, looking up at the sky.

In the air, a black shadow hovered at a height of 100 zhang, even at such a height, it could be seen that it was a sturdy Hai Dongqing, the overlord of the air.

Seeing Hai Dongqing, Xi Longquan gradually felt relieved, and then the corners of his mouth showed a trace of coldness.

"Come, order the cavalry guard battalion to assemble, wear swords and armor, and go with this general to beat people. Xi Longquan ordered people to move, the burly body walked directly towards the outside of the general's mansion, before he stepped out of the gate of the general's mansion, the armor had already been put on, outside the gate, hundreds of pro-army horses lined up, and a big flag fluttered in the wind.

After stepping onto the black war horse, Xi Longquan didn't say a word, and took the lead in galloping, followed closely by hundreds of horsemen behind him.

......

Outside Jiankang City, more than ten miles to the east, a carriage was parked on the official road, and an old man and a young man were sitting on the car.

The young man is Tang Yulou, and the old man is Lao Jiu.

After coming out of the house again, with the three big men coming out of the city all the way, I originally thought if it was really going to sea together to go to Penglai, who knows that after arriving here in a place where there is no one to live, the three big men showed another side, or their original face.

Tang Yulou looked at the three of them curiously, without the slightest fear, along the way, he already knew how powerful Lao Jiu was.

After being in the palace for so many years, it wasn't until I went out alone with Lao Jiu that I realized that this old man who had been doing the simplest work in the palace of the capital turned out to be a master.

"Lao Jiu, are these three guys masters?" Tang Yulou asked excitedly.

Lao Jiu was still holding the whip of the car, squinting at the three people not far away, and said casually: "The leader is barely a product, and the other two are at most good at some tricks." ”

Since seeing Lao Jiu's first shot, he easily defeated more than a dozen so-called green forest experts who shouted that this mountain was opened by me and wanted to buy road money, probably his strength level in the rivers and lakes was remembered by Tang Yulou.

Lao Jiu said that he had barely entered the nine grades before he entered the palace as a miscellaneous servant, and he was barely a helmsman level figure in the land of a state.

Tang Yulou now only knows the nine grades of force, one grade and one grade, the strength of this new product, either the first grade or the second grade, in front of a master like Lao Jiu, it is really not worth mentioning.

"Since you are from the rivers and lakes and want to do the affairs of the rivers and lakes, then let's do the affairs of the rivers and lakes, and the rivers and lakes will be done. ”

Since he won and did not lose, Tang Yulou was also enough to stand up and shout.

Along the way, practice makes perfect.
