Seventy-four, by the river
Wang Zi Teng's class returned to the dynasty, Li Shaopu organized the students of Xian'an Palace Class B to hold a grand congratulatory poetry meeting, congratulating the new army on its victory, and congratulating Wang Zi Teng, so lively, Xue Pan also saw the relevant generals of the new army for the first time, and saw the military appearance of the new army. Xue Pan waved his hand at the new army led by Wang Ziteng, and said to Jin Ning with a sigh, "The new army is so strong, I really don't know that Shibo was called the tiger of the new army in the past, I don't know what kind of demeanor it is?" When I return to Beijing in the future, I always have to see a thing or two. ”
Xue Pan sent away Wang Ziteng, rested for a long time, and then set off from Pujia Pass, a person from Pujia Pass from the Book of Poetry "Pujia is pale, white dew is frost", covering the autumn water near this place, and the reeds are falling, which is very in line with the artistic conception of this poem. Out of the Pujia Pass, after a few days, it arrived at the territory of Shangri-La, after the army, if it is vigorous, it must be a lie, but there is no shortage of people in farming and grazing, and there are officials and people of the Great Yue Dynasty in the renovation of the official road, digging water conservancy, but full of vitality.
After going over the layers of mountains, finally arrived near Gorkha, the road here is not very easy to walk, the daily march is only dozens of miles, the four seasons are changeable, it suddenly rains and the sun is scorching in one day, everyone is inevitably a little unbearable, the soldiers of the western Sichuan Festival are accustomed to it, the people in the rivers and lakes eat and sleep in the open, it doesn't matter, only the students of Xian'an Palace can't bear the hardships one by one, they beg for mercy every day to walk slowly, Xue Pan himself is also a little unbearable, so the big guy stops and stops, take your time, According to Xue Pan's excuse, he marched cautiously, so as not to fall into the enemy's ambush.
Still in the country, what can there be an ambush, worship the prince Teng swept the prestige of Shangri-La country, this road is inaccessible, occasionally a few thieves, seeing such a mighty horse, long ago scared away without a trace.
Arrived near the Gurkha, the Gurkha knew that such a powerful force that could sweep any vassal state in the southwest arrived at his doorstep, although the Gurkha itself had a strong force, and it was also the existence of the Shangri-La country in the past, but the feng shui has taken turns over the years, and in the past he still wanted to win the Central Plains, but he was subdued by Emperor Taizu just stretched out a little thumb, and now in the face of the former strong enemy, he couldn't help but be a little trembling and frightened, so he hurriedly sent someone to reward, in fact, he just asked Xingzhi, Xue Pan said that he was just going to Tianzhu to purchase materials, and he didn't mean to raise troops and make trouble, but the ghost believed that you brought so many soldiers to purchase, so stop and go, at the end of April, when Xue Pan was about to cross the mountains and arrive at Tianzhu, not to mention the people of Class A, even the Bengal governor in the northeast corner of Tianzhu, who was close to Dayue, knew.
The big river with golden mud and sand is turbulent, rushing towards the south side of the river endlessly, the river surface is enough to be 100 zhang wide, the largest sailor ship of the Dayue Dynasty can easily come to this river to sail, the coastal scenery here is completely different from the Central Plains, there are no trees near the left side of the river, only some low shrubs, the soil is reddish-brown, obviously good vomit, but both sides of the river are fertile soil, but there is no ploughman, Rao is the climate in April, this place is already very hot.
On the slightly higher mountain by the river, there are a group of tent camps and other buildings stationed, among which the people are dressed and hated from the Central Plains, and their demeanor is very arrogant, their posture is vigorous, and they have muskets and swords and other weapons around their waists.
A man in a green robe hurriedly passed through the crowd, through the barracks, to the largest camp outside the tent, the guard on duty knew the identity of this person, and did not stop him, and let him in, the man entered the camp, and bowed his hand to a few people who were looking at the map at the table, "Tell the head of the class, the prince, the people of class B have arrived in Tianzhu!" ”
"Oh?" The person standing in the middle raised his head, a pair of thick eyebrows raised slightly, and his eyes were full of fierceness, "Xue Pan, that kid, has finally arrived?" Could it be that you can't miss Shu here in Shu? It's been almost two months since we've arrived, and he's just arrived! ”
The people on the side all sneered cooperatively, and the other handsome person was Prince Yizhong, who smiled at Ying Hong, who came to report the news, and smiled, "Fourth uncle, you are an elder in terms of seniority, if you are a classmate, let's call a classmate, why do you still call the prince?" How many students are not? ”
"Etiquette can't be abolished," Ying Hong replied with his head bowed respectfully, "I'm a junior in Class A, so naturally I have to respect you." ”
"It doesn't have to be like this," Prince Yizhong said with a smile, "Please sit down and tell me carefully where you got this news, Brother Wang," said a young man with big ears in another side of the Yizhong Dynasty, "You guessed wrong, Xue Pan came to Tianzhu leisurely and slowly." ”
Prince Zhongshun smiled slightly, and did not speak, the king of Xianning County frowned slightly, "Okay, fourth brother, we are all people together, there is no need to trouble in the future, although I was pushed by the big guy to be the head of the squad during this war, but it is only because I led the soldiers, and now the two princes are on the side, and the big guy is discussing together." ”
"In military affairs, I still have the head of the squad in charge," said Prince Zhongshun, "and this is your specialty that no one else can steal." ”
"Naturally," Prince Yizhong also nodded and smiled, "I'm just a counselor for military affairs." ”
The king of Xianning County was silent, and after a while, he said to Ying Hong, "Say it." ”
"Xue Pan and the others in Class B arrived at the mouth of the Grand Canyon, they had already stopped, stopped marching, asked people to cut down trees, and seemed to be camping, some merchants came with them, and handed Xue Pan a lot of silver, grain and grass as tolls, and they actually found such a way, their loss must be very small."
Ying Hong told all the news he had inquired from the business traveler, obviously he hated Xue Pan very much, and he told everything in detail, Ying Wuyun frowned slightly, "Okay, there is no need to talk about the rest of the trivial matters, how many people did they bring?" ”
"Three thousand soldiers, there is no superfluous, the people brought a thousand."
"That's it?" The king of Xianning County hurriedly asked, "What about the muskets?" ”
"I don't know," Ying Hong shook his head, "The people who went back to resupply haven't come back yet, but we don't know the news from Shuzhong." ”
"In that case," King Xianning subconsciously knocked on the table, "Shall we go and meet them for a while?" ”
