Start: Datang Wanli a lonely city

Chapter 717 Great Earthquake Pass (Two in One)

Time: In the fourth year of Yuanhe in the Tang Dynasty, at noon on the seventh day of February; that is, there are less than ten days left before the deadline for the first stage of this character.

Location: On the edge of a dense forest.

He had a shaggy beard all over his face, and his clothes were in tatters; on the gauze around his neck, there were faint bloodstains oozing out.

Because he hadn't washed for a long time, he exuded a strong smell of sweat mixed with blood. It can be said that Hu Biao would smell tens of meters away from the wind.

At this moment, he was drinking boiled water, like a starved ghost reincarnated, gnawing on some of the few beef jerky left.

While silently looking at the situation in front of him, he was also in the resting and eating team, a specific situation.

Through Hu Biao's observations, it can be seen that the specific situation of the Xuange Battalion team is compared with the time when they set off from Qijiaojing again, or after they bypassed Yumen Pass.

Everything about them can only be described with the word 'very miserable'.

First of all, in terms of transportation, among the ten snow sledges built by Langqing, there is not one left at the moment.

There were nearly a hundred high-quality war horses, but now there is only barely one horse per capita; the others either died in battle or were killed for meat.

Even these horses each have one horse, and it can be said that there are not many war horses left, and they also look very thin.

While Hu Biao and others were eating and drinking, these war horses also used their mouths to dig through a layer of snow on the ground, and silently ate the grass below, and they seemed to have no energy at all.

Secondly, the materials that were originally piled up with the convoy were completely gone now.

Near the saddles of the war horses, there are bags that were originally used to hold supplies, but now they are all very deflated.

The only well-preserved and abundant materials seem to be only some weapons such as swords, horses, bows and arrows left.

But even so, there are quite a few of them that make up the numbers.

Because some of the arrows among them can be found at a glance from a distance, and they are not the kind of high-end goods made by Lang Qing and Lao Tie.

It is estimated that after the Tubo people fought, they seized the junk from their corpses.

In terms of quality, that is to say, compared with the arrows that the barbarian used to polish the arrows with stones and bones, and then installed them on the shafts, they are only slightly better.

In the end, the situation with the personnel is pretty bad.

Except for Zhou Yaozu, a young man, all the netizens were injured.

Even at this moment, on the armor of many people, there are still many broken arrows that are just broken arrow shafts, but the arrows are still on them.

This shows how fierce the battle they experienced before was.

The amazing thing is that in the current state that can almost be described as the end of the mountain and the end of the calf soon.

Including Hu Biao himself, all the netizens counted as one. Not only did they look quite good mentally, there was even a faint light shining in their eyes.

It's just that they are forcibly restraining them, and they haven't made much fuss.

The reason for this is that they are all suppressing the excitement in their hearts at the moment, waiting for a news, an extremely important news.

As for what the news is, it will be announced soon.

After three to five minutes at the most, amidst the sound of sprinting, Yu Hanfeng, singer, and warehouse manager ran all the way from the distant forest with ecstatic expressions on their faces.

Perhaps he was too emotional. During such a process, the warehouse manager accidentally turned over a piece of dog shit on the ground; he still got up at the first time, and continued to run towards this side after stumbling.

Just seeing such a scene, after Hu Biao and others faintly understood, they felt a little happy.

After Yu Hanfeng ran a little closer, he shouted:
"Old Hu, the Great Earthquake Pass is indeed seven or eight miles away. Using binoculars, we can all see the defenders and flags of the Tang Dynasty."

Hearing this sentence, they finally confirmed that everyone who was going home soon, suddenly loud cheers rang out from their mouths.

At the same time, I gave a warm hug to the people around me.

The scenes and emotions were like the army that had completed the 1000-mile Long March and finally joined forces with its comrades after more than [-] years.

Even the girls A Li, Camellia, and God of Wealth had reddened eyes, and they were about to cry.

It's not that the feelings of these girls have become so fragile in the past; it's that after hearing such news, they can't help but think of certain things.

Dazhen Pass is one of the four major passes entering the pass, the others include Hangu Pass, Lan Pass, and Jinsuo Pass.

Anyway, as long as you enter the Great Earthquake Pass, you will enter the legendary Guanzhong area.

Then, they were only [-] miles away from the end point of Chang'an City; if they rode fast, they could arrive at the city that made them dream about in two days at most.

Think about all the hardships they have experienced along the way.

For example: when crossing the Yellow River, the surface of the ice seems to be quite thick, but when you walk to the center, there is a burst of "crack ~" ice cracking sound.

Good guy!The movement almost didn't make everyone pee out of fear on the spot.

When passing through Lanzhou, their traces were finally discovered by the Tubo people; and then the continuous pursuit and killing happened to them again.

During the period, we kept breaking through and breaking through again, and the difficulties can be said to be unbearable.

In short, in more than two months, on the journey of thousands of miles, they have experienced all kinds of hardships, and they will be able to return to Chang'an.

It seems completely understandable for everyone to cry out amidst the joy and sorrow for a while...

After celebrating for a while, the extremely intense emotions in everyone's hearts calmed down.

The next thing, of course, is to set off immediately, continue to hold the banner of the "Da Tang Anxi Army", and go directly to the Dazhen Pass, enter Guanzhong and return to Chang'an City.

It was also at such a time, after a sudden thought of something in the head of the girl of the God of Wealth.

Facing Hu Biao who was pulling his horse and preparing to walk out of the woods, he suddenly exclaimed: "Old Hu, wait a while before leaving.

We are about to enter the Tang Dynasty, but we are in a terrible state of embarrassment right now.

Not to mention finding a place to take a good shower and change clothes, but also to wash your face, let's comb your messy hair, and it's time for you to shave.

Otherwise, with such an appearance, it seems that it would embarrass our Anxi army, wouldn't it? "

Should I say it or not!God of Wealth's spirit of treating Anxi Army as his own home and always paying attention to the image of Anxi Army is very worthy of recognition and praise.

The problem is that after hearing the above statements from the God of Wealth, many netizens have different reactions.

To be more specific, Shi Shi, Xiaobailian, Yun Qing, Xiong Da and other novices immediately began to panic like the God of Wealth.

Looking around, trying to find a mountain spring, pond, etc., the height can make myself wash my face or something.

As for the veterans, they laughed and laughed after listening to it; so that God of Wealth and the others were stupefied, not knowing where they made a mistake.

She is still a noble concubine, and she can't bear to see her cousin bewildered.

He snatched a pair of horn combs that the opponent hadn't lost after running for his life and breaking out of the siege, and explained:

"Silly girl, that's not the case.

It is said that children who can cry are the ones who have milk. People are visual animals. If we clean up brightly, we will enter the Dazhen Pass like going on a blind date and appear in front of the Tang court.

So how can we show how hard and difficult we have been along the way, and when it comes to rewarding us, isn't it not so rich?
So before setting off, it is definitely necessary to clean up.

However, it's not about making things look better, but about making them as miserable as they are, so that people who see them can feel sympathy and intolerance. "

Hearing this, the God of Wealth and other novices reacted.

Good guy!The routines of these old birds are too deep.

The main reason is that they didn't expect that such a practice similar to the way of the world is also very particular in the mission world.

After understanding this point, the God of Wealth also knew what to do.

After taking a look at his body, he directly pulled out a spiked arrow from his quiver and inserted it into a hole in the lower abdomen of the armor on his body, artificially creating the appearance of the rest of his life after a hundred battles.

After other people saw this, they also got busy. In short, there is only one principle, how messy and embarrassing they can make themselves, that is how embarrassing they are.

But if you want to say that the method is more ruthless, it is a kind of facial paralyzed brother like War Dog who doesn't talk too much.

After tearing almost all the clothes on his body into a beggar's outfit, this guy still feels that something is missing and has some shortcomings?
After thinking about it for a while, I immediately realized that there should be too little blood on my body, and it didn't seem to have any impact.

It doesn't look like he has gone through countless battles before killing a bloody road to this point.

Gritting his teeth, he drew out a dagger in his hand, and slashed at the palm of his left hand, and immediately blood gushed out from the wound.

Then the boy with facial paralysis waved his left hand and got a lot of blood on his body.

Looking at it later, it was indeed much more miserable.

It's just that after all this was done, War Dog didn't quickly stop the bleeding and bandage the wound on his palm; instead, he raised the wound that continued to bleed, and asked everyone:
"Do any of you want some blood, and give you some too?"

The sound is falling, and many voices just keep ringing:
"I want, I want, some gauze on my shoulder, or the wound will heal, and it doesn't look like that."

"Give me some too, yes! It's on the stomach, I'm going to get a serious injury from being stabbed in the stomach~"

"And me, here on my lap..."

After seeing such a scene, Hu Biao, who was wrapping a piece of gauze around his head, suddenly couldn't help shouting:
"War Dog, take it easy, kid, be careful to lose too much blood and die~"

"What's the matter! I know my body, it's okay to let a catty or two of blood come out." In the mouth of the war dog, Na replied in this way.

Anyway, with such busy work, not long after, the appearance of all the netizens already looked extremely miserable.

Cooperating with the way back all the way, that side is always a broken battle flag flying in the air, which makes the friendly soldiers of our side feel sad and cry when they see it, okay?

In the end, with such a look, the netizens each carried a burden full of ashes.

Acting as if they had given up everything and finally brought back the ashes of their comrades, they all led a war horse that was too thin to look good, and walked all the way to the Great Earthquake Pass.

It's just that the novice rookies such as the God of Fortune girl don't know that pretending to be pitiful is just an insignificant point in their follow-up plan.

After returning to Datang and arriving in Chang'an.

How to quickly rise to the top in the follow-up, and how to accumulate strength, so as to achieve their plan to return to the Western Regions.

As early as the rest period of the modern plane, a group of veterans actually had a detailed plan formulated; but there is an old saying that goes well: the plan does not change quickly.

Soon after, they discovered something completely different from what they expected...

*******
"The thief's mother's Sun Duizheng, the rice and pancakes provided by the daily meal are getting smaller and smaller.

In the past, every day was approaching Shenshi, and the stomach would be very hungry; now it is the early Weishi, and the stomach is hungry.

On the contrary, Captain Sun is here, but he is getting fatter and fatter, and he can hardly even tie his belt, right?
It's better to be fatter, and wait until the Tubo people kill them, so that this guy can't even run away~"

While tightening the belt around his waist so that he would not be so hungry, Gao Erniu glanced at the obese figure of his boss, Sun Wuyang, with hidden eyes.

At the same time, he used a voice that only he could hear, swearing obediently, and dared not let the other party hear him at all, which caused huge troubles.

no way!Although Gao Erniu was a gang leader in the Datang Frontier Army, he was in charge of 50 people.

But whoever called Sun Duizheng was not only his immediate boss, but also the brother-in-law of Duwei Wu, the guard of the Great Earthquake Gate, and Duwei Wu had a younger sister who was the favored concubine of a brother of the Cui family in Qinghe.

Although the above kinship, a little around so some.

But the Qinghe Cui family, such a colossus, was simply not to be provoked by Gao Erniu, a person who could not even be considered a low-level military officer.

A casual greeting from the other party can easily kill him.

So, even scolding Captain Sun can only be done silently.

After scolding, Gao Erniu lazily leaned against the base of the city wall of Dazhen Pass, holding a long spear in his hand that was in good condition compared to the rusty spears of his comrades.

While looking at the front, there is no one on the official road.

While waiting for the meal that will start three quarters after Shenshi, which is the last meal of the day, I was thinking about something in my heart.

Specifically, how long do you need to save money before you can talk about being a mother-in-law.

Because in the current year, the government soldiers used by the Tang Dynasty to intimidate the Quartet have long been ruined, so he is a recruiter.

That is to say, recruited by the Tang court, the annual salary is 12 shi of corn and 7 pieces of cloth.

In addition, the war robes, weapons, war horses, and daily food and drink are all provided by the imperial court. Although it is not too much, it is enough for a man in charge to support his family.

It's a pity that the sophomores are now twenty-seven.

Relying on such a military salary, not to mention being able to support a family, in fact, even a daughter-in-law is unaffordable, and it is difficult to support oneself.

Why?Because today's Datang is no longer the one it was more than fifty years ago.

Although the rebellion of the barbarian in An Lushan was finally quelled by the court, under the huge consumption, Datang is now like a weak patient.

Surrounded by Tubo, Huihe, Nanzhao, etc., there are powerful alien threats.

Internally, a group of eunuchs and eunuchs are in power, not only controlling the most elite Shence Army, but also deciding the support of the current emperor.

Jiedu envoys in various places have the right to manage the localities even independently of the imperial court.

So, not to mention that the military salary, which was not too small, was often in arrears, and every time it was paid to the hands, there was not even half of the amount.

The reason for this is that, first of all, there were some deficiencies when the imperial court distributed them.

In addition, when they pass in the hands of superior officials at each level, they will more or less get a share, and finally when they are in the hands of the second-ranking bulls, less than half is left.

Originally a sophomore in high school, he could somehow get some money and food from his fifty brothers to subsidize himself.

It's just that seeing these brothers, who usually look bitter and haha, they can't do anything.

In addition to these, the upper officials will be deducted partly in battle robes, weapons, daily meals, and even fodder for feeding horses.

In short, this Great Tang is like a big tree whose roots are gradually rotting.

However, Gao Erniu, who is regarded as a leaf on the tree, although he often wonders in his heart that Ah Weng often said in his mouth, why the incomparably powerful Datang in the past is like this.

But most of the time, the only thing on my mind is how to fill my stomach and get more money and food.

If you can get some benefits from the merchants who come and go in Ganzhou, Liangzhou, Qinzhou and other places, and have a meal of wine and meat, then you will be completely satisfied.

No!It seems that the opportunity has come...
