Datang Fenghua Road

Where there is a lee, she can dig out the snow and take out the dead grass, and then light a fire to keep warm.If you are lucky, you can even find cow dung under the snow in this leeward col, which is more flammable than dry grass and can keep her warm all night.

……

Han Yue's migratory army has been traveling for three months. Since the western medicine drip was made, the typhoid and cold in the team can no longer trouble everyone, and the migration speed has finally accelerated.

They arrived at Yanmen Pass ten days ago. After two days of training in the city, Han Yue turned down the ardent retention of the new Yanmen Pass guard and led the people to approach the north again.

The place where the mutual market is opened is still four hundred miles away from Yanmen Pass. Now that winter is coming, we must reach our destination as soon as possible.

"Master Hou, today's wind and snow are too urgent, do you want to set up camp and rest in advance?" Yuchi Baolin came on horseback, today's wind and snow are indeed too big, the people are from Guanlong, and they are not as resistant to severe cold as the Turks. People's hands and feet were frostbitten.

Han Yue stopped the donkey and looked up at the sky. He asked Yuchi Baolin, "How long until we reach the destination?"

Yuchi Baolin stretched out his hand and took out a roll of silk and silk, and unfolded it was a crudely drawn marching map. He carefully observed it for a long time, and said a little uncertainly: "As shown on the map, this place is four hundred miles away from Yanmen Pass, but the last general Just now, I ran my horse forward for ten miles, but I didn't find the Guanwai Village you mentioned. There is snow everywhere, and I can't be sure whether it is the [-] mu of land you won."

"Then set up camp first!" Han Yue waved his hand and ordered, thought for a while and said: "Your map is too rough. I calculated the marching distance in the past few days and found that we have only traveled less than 380 miles. The distance from Guanwai Village Yanmen Pass is 410 miles away. If you ride a horse for ten miles, you will definitely not see the target, and it will take at least thirty or forty miles to be possible."

Yuchi Baolin was slightly startled, stretched out his hand and shoved the map into his arms, and said loudly: "Then, let's go now. Although the Blizzard is not in a good way right now, if the latter is quick, we can still run back and forth in two hours."

"No need!" Han Yue raised his hand to stop it, and said lightly: "When Jieli invaded the Central Plains, he burned all the way, and Guanwai Village was the first stop for the Turks to enter the customs. It is estimated that they have already been slaughtered, so you are gone. You can't see anyone, at most you can see a ruined village with broken walls."

"Then..." Yuchi Baolin was still a little hesitant.

Han Yue smiled slightly, and said: "Set up camp first, and I have prayed for 24 prayers, so I won't miss this trembling. Let the people have a good rest, and the Xuanjia Army will be on duty in batches. Everyone should recharge their batteries and get a good night's sleep. We will leave tomorrow morning. Try to get there that day."

When he said this, he suddenly remembered something, and said to Yuchi Baolin: "Your map is too rough, it can still be used as a civilian map, but if it is used as a military map, I'm afraid it won't work, I will draw a delicate picture for you when I rest tonight. ."

"Thank you, Marquis!" Yuchi Baolin was overjoyed. The maps in this era were very poor. In fact, what he had in his hands was the best thing in the entire Tang Dynasty. It was sent by the empress before departure. became rough.

The maps in the royal collection are all rough things, so what will the exquisite map that Hou Ye wants to draw look like?Yuchi Baolin is looking forward to it.

The ancient generals marched on the most important terrain. If they had an exquisite map in hand, they would naturally be able to grasp the geography of the battle situation before the enemy. Yuchi Baolin was still young, and he was eager to establish great merits, and the merits of military generals could only be captured on the battlefield.

His heart was hot, and without Han Yue's urging, he ran on his horse and took the Xuanjia Army all the way to arrange the people to camp.

Han Yue watched him leave, then looked up at the sky, and found that the heavy snow showed no sign of stopping, and I am afraid it will be another difficult day tonight.

The land of the mutual market is about to arrive. After three months of trekking, everyone has been exhausted. Seeing that success is just around the corner, he must not let up at the last moment.

"You two get the tent first, I'll walk around and have a look." Han Yue greeted Luo Jinger and Xiaodoudou, and regardless of whether the two women heard clearly, he urged the donkey under his crotch and stepped on the snow. I hope the people will go.

Xiaodoudou said sadly: "Xianggong hasn't slept well these past few nights. I heard him roll over several times at night."

"That's because he has something in his heart, and the pressure is too great!" Luo Jing'er sighed softly, stretched out her white and jade-like palm, and received a beautiful snowflake.

Chapter 144 The Red Feather Flying Rider Comes From the North

Majestic Chang'an, surging Weishui, a majestic city stands on the land of Guanlong, like a quiet lion.

There is snow today, and Chang'an is white.In the cold winter and the twelfth lunar month, people go to bed early, and people go to bed early before it gets dark.

At the north gate of Chang'an, the soldiers guarding the city were pushing the heavy city gate to close, when suddenly a horse riding on the ground came, and the snow on the horse's hooves flew up, and the speed was like a sharp arrow.

"Don't close the city gate, it's a fast horse at [-] miles, let it pass quickly!" The soldier captain who guards the gate is quite knowledgeable. He saw that the flying horse had a red root stuck in its back Ling, he immediately knew that this was the person who passed the letter on a fast horse in the army.

The soldiers hurriedly stepped aside, and the red-feathered knight didn't even look at them. He just galloped through the city gate and ran straight towards the palace.

"Coming from the North?" The guard team leader's eyes flashed, frowning and pondering: "Could it be that the Turks are kowtowing again? It shouldn't be, the covenant has just been signed, how can you say that you will turn your face..."

A young soldier next to him said in a low voice: "Maybe it's not about the Turks, captain, don't forget, it has been three months since the Marquis of Jingyang left the customs!"

This sentence really woke the dreamer, the team leader raised his brows, nodded and smiled: "Not bad, according to the time, the migration army of the Marquis of Jingyang is estimated to be arriving soon. Alas, I hope Marquis can successfully build a mutual market. ."

"It must be going well!" The young soldier resolutely said, with a look of admiration on his face: "Our Lord Hou is a child of a fairy, and there is nothing in this world that can hinder him." He swallowed at this point, and then said : "Captain, you don't know yet. This time, the whole village will mobilize together when Lord Hou leaves the customs. My father, mother, and younger brothers and sisters will all follow. Everyone says that as long as you follow our Lord Hou, you will be able to go wherever you go." You won’t be hungry. When the mutual market is established, everyone will make a fortune, and the Turkic people will suffer a lot..."

"Then why didn't you follow?" the squad leader thought to Cen Cen.

The young soldier's face twitched, and he said annoyed: "I am unlucky, the military service period of the government has not come this year, otherwise I can follow the Hou Ye!"

The squad leader laughed, patted his shoulder and said, "The same is true for Lao Tzu. I thought I was the only one who was unlucky. It turns out that there are still brothers and sisters in trouble."

After some conversation, the friendship between the team leader and the young soldier quickly warmed up. At this time, the sky was completely dark. While talking about Han Yue's deeds, everyone pushed the city gate with all their strength. The gates of the city are tightly stitched together.

……

Quiet Chang'an, the wind and snow fell, there were no pedestrians on the long street, only the sound of bells echoed.

This is the bell from the palace, which rings every hour.The bell sounded melodious and low, and spread far in the snowy night, telling everyone that another chen had passed.

On such a windy and snowy night, even the nobles in the palace rested early, and there was little sound in the palaces, only the Empress's Lizheng Hall was still illuminated.

The eldest grandson hadn't slept yet, because Li Shimin had just arrived.

The queen was holding her son in her arms, and the little girl didn't know what to do tonight. She was so excited that she had to tell her mother a story.

"Telling stories..." The eldest grandson frowned, and there was a trace of melancholy on his face. "The queen mother doesn't know how to tell stories. If your big brother is here, you can definitely tell the little Sizi a good one. My dear, it's getting late, lie down in the mother's arms and go to sleep."

Sizi shook his head, his two fleshy little hands twisted like a twist, pouted and said, "No, no, Sizi will listen to the story."

Once a little girl is coquettish and clingy, no one can usually hold it up. The eldest grandson smiled bitterly, pinched Sizi's little face and said, "Alright, listen to the story, listen to the story, and let your royal father tell you about the head office!" Said As he sent his daughter to Li Shimin's arms, he jokingly said, "Your Majesty, it's up to you!"

Li Shimin was holding a scroll of ancient bamboo slips and was fascinated by it. This was an ancient scroll of Spring and Autumn that was presented in a local area not long ago.He was planning to read it overnight with the light on, but the queen suddenly shoved a little ghost, Li Shimin rolled his eyes helplessly, put down the bamboo slip and hugged his daughter firmly.

"Royal father..." Xiao Sizi is very well-behaved and knows how to act coquettishly and likable. She sprinted up and down in Li Shimin's arms, and finally her two fleshy little hands reached her father's neck, and the little girl was proud of her. With a wide-eyed smile, he wrapped his arms around Li Shimin's neck and said coquettishly, "Sizi wants to hear the story!"

"Okay, Sizi wants to listen to the story!" Li Shimin laughed and said a little proudly: "Then let the royal father tell you a story about [-] iron armor breaking [-], how about it?"

"Don't listen, don't listen!" Sizi's little head shook like a rattle, and he pouted and said angrily: "Sizi wants to listen to the big monkey!"

Uh!

Li Shimin choked immediately. He didn't know the story of Journey to the West, and he had heard Han Yue say it a few times before.

I originally planned to let the kid write it down and print it into a book, but I never thought that things would happen one after another, and I didn't have time to think about books at all.

The queen chuckled and said, "Your Majesty, do you know where the gap is now? You can't even coax a little girl..."

"Alas!" Li Shimin sighed lightly, looked into Xiao Sizi's pitiful eyes, felt his scalp tingling, and said angrily, "It's all to blame for that stinky boy, you say he does something bad, but you want to make up a Journey to the West is here to whet your appetite. Also, Monkey King Monkey King, is there a Monkey Monkey who has become Monkey King? Monkeys are everywhere in the Qinling Mountains. I go hunting every year. This animal runs away when it sees people. That kind of heroism."

"That's why Yue'er is unique!" The Queen smiled and said leisurely: "A big monkey can make people worry about listening, not to mention Xiao Sizi likes to listen to it, even the concubine is also very concerned about it. When there is Concubine Yang, I have sent people over to inquire several times, saying that I really want to hear about the funeral of the big monkey, and ask if there is any letter from the Marquis of Jingyang."

Li Shimin shook his head helplessly, snorted angrily, "I don't know what's so good about that stinky boy, let one or two of you miss him so much. I guess he's almost here now. After he settles down, he will pass the book and I will reply. Just let him write the story."

The eldest grandson frowned slightly, and said with some worry: "I heard that the north is cold, and this year's wind and snow are especially fierce. Yue'er has no martial arts. I'm really afraid that he won't be able to withstand such weather."

"If you can't carry it, you have to carry it!" Li Shimin's face was very ugly, and he said bitterly: "This is the path he chose by himself, and he has to finish walking for me even on his knees."

The queen sighed softly, her phoenix eyes looking out the window.Tonight, the wind and snow cover Chang'an, and the land of Guanlong is still like this. I don't know what kind of cold winter it will be outside Guanlong.
