Start: Datang Wanli a lonely city

Chapter 724 Right?

"General Hu, I have been to Chang'an City quite a few times because I sell cattle, sheep and other livestock all the year round, so I am quite familiar with this route.

There are still five or six miles ahead, and we will arrive at Xingping County.

And go all the way along the official road, but only a hundred and ten miles away, you can reach Chang'an City. "

Facing Hu Biao's question, Liu Yi, the livestock dealer who was his guide along the way, immediately answered loudly.

But after hearing this answer, Hu Biao couldn't help frowning.

The reason why Hu Biao did this is actually quite simple to say, because today is already the afternoon of February [-]th in the fourth year of Tang Yuanhe.

In less than thirty hours, it was the deadline for the first phase of the task.

Regarding this point, he was not too worried, because as long as they speeded up a little bit, it would not be a problem to reach Chang'an tomorrow.

The real problem is that for some reason, the eyelids of his left and right eyes keep twitching.

As the old saying goes, what does it mean when the left eye jumps for money, the right eye jumps for disaster, and then both eyes jump together?This old saying is not said.

However, Hu Biao always felt that some important things were about to happen, but he was inexplicably uneasy because he didn't know whether it was good or bad.

Fortunately, this happened very quickly, allowing Hu Biao to let go of his paranoia.

In other words, it's too late to think too much.

When they were two or three miles away from Xingping County, they saw dozens of horses galloping towards them.

After getting a little closer, Hu Biao raised his binoculars to have a look.

You can see a person with a white face and no beard, wearing a yellow shirt.

The knights behind them were also tall and their armor was exceptionally shiny. Compared with the Tang Jun they saw along the way at the Great Earthquake Pass, they were much more elite and glamorous.

After seeing such a scene, Hu Biao's heart couldn't help moving, and he vaguely guessed that the envoy sent by the emperor had arrived.

Sure enough, the emissary was about ten steps away from Hu Biao and others, and after hastily pulling back the horse, he shouted:
"The person here is Guo Xin, Prince of Wuwei County, envoy of the Four Towns Jiedu, Guo Shuai's envoy."

"It's me waiting." After hearing the words, Hu Biao immediately replied.

After the emissary heard Hu Biao agreed, he still had a stinky expression on his face, and he didn't say much at all, just said: "Quickly kneel down and accept the order."

Although it made Hu Biao wait for such an eunuch to kneel down in the Song Dynasty, but the veterans of the clan who had power over the government and the public were very upset.

But they also clearly distinguish the severity of the matter, knowing that it is still time to develop in a low-key manner.

But in an instant, they all got off their horses and knelt down on the ground; and the rangers and common people who were traveling with them also did the same, and they knelt down in a large area.

After everyone knelt down, the eunuch held a yellow imperial decree in his mouth and began to recite loudly: "Under the door, the foundation of the world..."

In the imperial decree read out in a shrill voice, ignoring the eunuch, there were a lot of words that seemed to bite the bullet.

The content of it is roughly like this:
After learning that the Anxi Army of the Tang Dynasty had not been destroyed in the Western Regions and was still holding on, the emperor, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and the entire city of Chang'an were very happy.

Even everyone wants to know the latest news about the Western Regions and the Anxi Army at the first time.

Therefore, in order to commend the achievements of the Anxi Army, His Majesty the Emperor specially asked someone to build a high platform outside the city.

One is to welcome the envoys of the Anxi Army in such a super-standard way.

The second is that outside the Kaiyuan Gate, His Majesty the Emperor intends to confront them, and let the people of Chang'an City know how difficult and difficult it has been for our Anxi Army of the Tang Dynasty to be in the Western Regions these years.

So, at Si o'clock tomorrow morning, that is, before [-] o'clock in the morning, you must rush to the Kaiyuan Gate in Chang'an City...

******
One thing that needs to be explained is that since Hu Biao and others entered the customs.

Regardless of other people's inquiries, they only said to the outside world that there is an important military situation, and they must report it to His Majesty face to face.

But other things about the fall of Kucha City, Guo Shuai and the old soldiers died in battle, and they were the only ones left in the entire Anxi Army, but they didn't say anything at all.

The reason for this is that they think that only talking about it in front of the emperor can cause the biggest shock.

Under the violent emotional fluctuations of the emperor and the court chiefs, the benefits that can be exchanged should be more.

Therefore, after hearing that tomorrow they were going to play against the emperor in front of the people of Chang'an, Hu Biao and the others were overjoyed.

In addition, there is also a kind of inexplicable joy in their hearts that they are about to enter Chang'an City, a city that has made them dream about countless times.

Immediately, under the leadership of the eunuch who delivered the decree, and the elite troops who should be the Datang Shence Army, they rushed all the way to Chang'an City.

After letting go of the speed of the horse, they arrived at the edge of the Wei River after nine o'clock in the evening, and began to camp temporarily.

Because this place is only thirty miles away from Chang'an City.

So if you leave early tomorrow morning, you don't have to worry about not being able to make it to Kaiyuan Gate within the time stipulated by the imperial decree.

Just before I fell asleep, I saw the Weihe River next to the camp, the water surface full of all kinds of garbage and living materials floating, and the smelly river water.

As well as those bare willow trees by the river, the hearts of all the netizens felt inexplicably 'thump~'.

Because such a scene has appeared in their minds countless times.

In the past, when Guo Shuai, Zhang Duizheng, Niu Laizi and others set out from Chang'an to the Western Regions.

After crossing the Baqiao, the senders broke off a bunch of willow branches one by one on the edge of the Wei River and pinned them to their chests, which represented the beautiful picture of their own blessings, and there were some discrepancies.

Fortunately, this point is just one of their countless beautiful fantasies about Chang'an.

There are more beautiful expectations waiting for them to witness one by one; so they suppressed such a disappointment one after another, and after eating some dry food, they went to bed early.

I plan to show off their Anxi army's demeanor tomorrow after getting enough energy...

Early in the morning of the second day, after everyone got up, they naturally had no intention of changing into new clothes and armor; they continued to set off with the embarrassed but iron-blooded appearance.

Not long after, we came to the outside of the legendary Baqiao.

This is a porous stone bridge, which has a history of more than [-] years since it was built in the Sui Dynasty.

When the horseshoes hit the bridge full of years, an indescribable heavy feeling immediately hit the face; the only problem is that the smell of the river water is really too strong.

Hu Biao, who wanted to recite a poem, gave up after spitting a lot.

After the early eight o'clock, all the netizens finally saw the legendary city wall of Chang'an City.

Sure enough, it is the same as what Hu Biao and others have seen in the materials; the length from north to south is about 13.7 kilometers, the width from east to west is about 7.5 kilometers, the city wall is 12 meters high, and the thickness is about 4.5 meters, with a total circumference of 36 kilometers.

It really deserves to be the most majestic big city in the world right now.

But when Hu Biao and others couldn't bear it, they picked up the binoculars and looked at the city wall. With the strengthening of the binoculars, they were able to faintly see many dilapidated places on the city wall.

It seems that such a big empire doesn't even have the money and food to repair the capital.

Suddenly, when they saw Weishui yesterday, such an inexplicable emotion became more and more intense in their hearts.

But soon after, they couldn't care less about this; because they saw a temporary high platform outside the Kaiyuan gate.

On the high platform, a figure in a bright yellow dragon robe stood alone on it.

Under the high platform, there were a large number of important court officials in purple robes, as well as soldiers of the Shence Army with shining armor.

A little further away, there are dense crowds, presumably they are all the people of Chang'an City who came to see the excitement; good guy!That's called a sea of ​​people, I'm afraid there are as many as 20 or [-].

Seeing this, Hu Biao and others took a deep breath.

Because they know whether they will be punished for killing Captain Wu, and what kind of reward they will get, whether they will eat meat or drink soup in the future.

It all depends on how well they match up with His Majesty the Emperor Li Chun in the coming time...
