As the old saying goes, the weather becomes unusually quiet before the storm.

In fact, when Wang Lingyun led his troops to leave, Chang'an City seemed to suddenly become quiet, and a whole few days passed, and there was not a trace of wind and grass in the city.

It wasn't until the fifth day that countless major events suddenly gathered together and broke out as if they had been agreed.

In the early morning, there was a light breeze and the weather was a little cooler.

A round of red sun in the east broke through the clouds, and when he turned around, everything in heaven and earth was dyed with a layer of red.

The soldiers defending Chang'an City had just struggled to open the city gate, and countless people or merchants were waiting to enter the city at the gate. Suddenly, there was the sound of rumbling horses' hooves in the distance, but I heard someone shouting anxiously: "Get out of the way, I am riding eight hundred miles." The military situation is urgent, don't blame ...... for the death"

Wow –

There was an uproar at the gates of the city, and many people looked back. The common people are like this, the first thing they think about when they hear something unusual is not to dodge, but to stretch their necks to see the excitement, and the people on horseback in the distance keep shouting to give way, but the city gate becomes more and more crowded.

Chinese people are like this, the most important thing is not to blame the public, once they find that there is excitement to see, they will not think about the person opposite in their bones.

Fortunately, the soldier general defending the city was a talent, he looked at the galloping horse in the distance, his eyes suddenly flashed a few times, and blurted out: "It's Hongling's urgent envoy!" ”

Sonorously pulled out the big knife on his waist, and shouted to the people in front of the door: "Get out of the way quickly, let the urgent envoy pass first, who dares to gather a crowd, the butcher's knife will be sharp." ”

The knife flickered brightly, which drove the people at the door to get out of the way, and the fast horse in the distance galloped, and in the blink of an eye, it was close to the front, and immediately the knight suddenly pulled out the red feather from behind, holding it and shouting: "Red Feather Urgent, the Western Regions army invaded, Red Feather urgently, the Western Regions army invaded......"

Amid the shouting, men and horses rushed directly into the city gate, and then the horses did not slow down at all, and went crazy all the way to the palace.

The people at the gate of the city were silent, everyone's faces suddenly changed color, and Datang was stable for less than half a year, and he didn't expect that there would be another war.

Han Yue's fight against Liaodong was not a war, it was the Tang Dynasty to conquer others, and the war in the eyes of the people was a foreign invasion of the Tang Dynasty, and the iron hooves stepped into the Central Plains to burn and loot before it was a war.

"It's going to be a war, it's going to be a war again......" A person pushing a cart suddenly threw the cart away, gritted his teeth and said: "It's been a few more times, this time it's finally my turn, I pity his grandmother's dog in the Western Regions, Lao Tzu cursed you not to die!" ”

There were countless sympathetic glances on the side.

Everyone had already heard from the words of the cart man that this man turned out to be a government soldier who was about to be rotated to join the army.

The Tang Dynasty adopted the government soldier system, and was a peasant in peacetime and a soldier in wartime. Farmers can farm and produce in peace at home, and soldiers must be mobilized and assembled in case of war. It is said that the Tang Dynasty is strong, but who can understand that the common people do not want to fight.

The general guarding the city flickered his eyes a few times, and suddenly bowed to the man with the cart and saluted solemnly, and said loudly: "The robe Ze will want to go to the battlefield, and you can accept my salute here." ”

He clenched his right hand into a fist and struck the armor on his chest vigorously, and sang in his mouth: "How can you say that you have no clothes, and you are in the same robe as your son, and the king fights and guards your family's ......."

This is a war song, which was adapted by the Tang Emperor Li Shimin from the ancient war song, and the soldiers at the gate of the city suddenly sang together, and everyone bowed to the cart man.

They are not worshipping the cart man alone, but the thousands of government soldiers like the cart man in the Tang Dynasty. Once on the battlefield, life and death depend on the sky. Maybe this man has old and young in his family, maybe he is usually just a bitter man sold by a cart, but once he goes to the battlefield, these identities are all nullified, and they have a special name, that is, the hero of the country.

Brother, you used to be a common man, but now you are not.

Brother, you used to be bitter haha, but now it's not.

If the court really gathers an army, then brother, you can go with confidence. Grab your broadsword, put on your armor, and fight the invading enemy, go fight the damn bastards.

Brother, don't be afraid of death, the big husband is shrouded in horse leather, whether he lives or dies, he is a hero. You are defending thousands of people in Datang, if you die on the battlefield, please rest assured, your wife and children will not suffer, and they should be respected by everyone in Datang.

In the midst of the battle song, the man suddenly raised his head to the sky and let out a breath of hot air, and shouted: "Fuck the dogs of the Western Regions, Lao Tzu went to fuck them." ”

As he spoke, he suddenly stepped back from the car and said to the soldiers defending the city: "I bother you to give way, I have to sell this cart of cakes before I can go home, there are old and young people in the family who need to eat, and before going to the battlefield, I can earn a little is a little ......."

The general defending the city suddenly ripped off the money bag on his waist and said loudly: "I bought this cart of cakes, you should go home quickly and prepare, since there is an invasion of the Western Regions, the court will definitely immediately transfer troops." ”

He was right, because there are old examples of this kind of thing. As long as Hongling is in a hurry to report the war, then the Tang Dynasty Military Department will issue a conscription order within the same day.

The general stuffed the money bag into the man's hand, and said with a solemn face: "The money is not much, take it back to the child." It's a pity that the generals belonged to the soldiers of the Zuowu guards to defend the city, and the Gyeonggi defenders could not leave Chang'an for fifty miles. ”

The man with the cart stuffed the money bag into his arms, then turned around and began to run wildly, laughing and laughing: "We don't want the little cart either, the general is bothered to give it to the poor." I have to go home early to say goodbye to my wife and children, lest they not remember what I look like in the future. ”

Although these words are accompanied by laughter, the implication is very poignant. The general defending the city exhaled gloomily, and suddenly gritted his teeth viciously and said: "War, war, when will there be no war......

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly saw dust rising in the distance, and then he heard the rumbling of hooves, and someone shouted: "I am the envoy of Hongling, quickly get out of the city gate." ”

The general defending the city was stunned, and the people around him also looked at each other. Everyone just hesitated, the fast horse in the distance was already coming madly, he arrived at the city gate and suddenly pulled off the red feather behind him, looked up to the sky and roared: "Red feather is urgent, Jiannan Road Tubo is coming." The 500,000-strong army has entered the Central Plains and has already broken through two small county towns. Burn, kill and loot, corpses are scattered across the field! ”

Wow –

There was another uproar at the city gates, and the faces of the people became extremely panicked.

The pupils of the general defending the city shrank sharply, and he said in a trembling voice: "Two wars, there are actually two wars!" ”

The red feather hurriedly did not stop, holding the red feather all the way to the door, he kept shouting in his mouth, and the pedestrians in the city immediately got out of the way.

Within an instant, two Hongling envoys appeared in a row, and the people at the city gate had no intention of entering the city, and many people began to push the goods and wanted to go home.

Datang is going to war again, and it is still two places that are going to fight at the same time. The Western Regions are very strong, and the Tibetans are even stronger, if the war in these two places cannot be stopped, then it is likely that like the Turks five years ago, the iron hooves of foreign races will definitely step into Guanlong.

Although the Weishui Alliance did not fight back then, many people died along the road from the grassland to Guanlong. The so-called killing is a national affair, but death comes from the poor family. These people chose not to go into the city but to go home precisely because they were frightened by all kinds of war.

The general defending the city sighed gloomily, his eyes clearly filled with concern.

At this moment, there was another sound of hooves in the distance, this time from the northwest, and the sound of horses' hooves seemed to be very slow.

Everyone present was shocked, and their faces became even more ugly, because the horse was indeed running very slowly, so they only heard the sound of hooves when they got very close.

And the reason why everyone's faces changed color was because the person riding the horse was also a red feather messenger.

Different from the previous two Red Feather Messengers, this Red Feather Envoy was covered in dry blood, and he was lying on the horse's back and clutching the horse's neck, his eyes half-squinted and half-struggling as if he was gritting his teeth for support.

The general defending the city suddenly stepped forward and grabbed the reins of the opponent's war horse, and then struggled to pull the running war horse fiercely, he shouted urgently, and said like thunder: "Paoze, wake up"

Hongling hurriedly shook his body, and barely raised his head on his horse, and when he saw that the person who stopped the horse was also a Tang warrior, his face suddenly showed a relieved look, and said weakly: "Quickly report to Your Majesty, the Western Turkic army has entered the customs." Burning, killing and looting, corpses are scattered all over the field, General Hou Junji is besieged, so that I have to reach Chang'an no matter life or death......"

Before the word 'An' in Chang'an was finished, a mouthful of dirty blood suddenly spurted out of his throat, and the general defending the city panicked and wanted to carry him off the horse, but the outstretched hand stiffly stopped in the air.

Because he was stunned to find that this Hongling Urgency had no breath at all.

"I feel sorry for his grandmother's eggs...... "The general defending the city roared loudly to the sky, his face full of grief and indignation.

They are all Datang warriors, they are all comrades of each other, and watching a comrade-in-arms die in front of him, this pain is like a knife piercing his heart.

However, no matter how sad and indignant he was, he wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and suddenly carried the body of the Hongling Urgent Envoy off the war horse with both hands, and then turned over on the war horse himself, and finally solemnly held the Hongling with his hand, and roared in his mouth: "I am the Hongling Urgent Envoy, there is a war report in the northwest......"

The palm of his hand struck the horse's back, and the horse rushed madly into the city gate.

Although my comrade-in-arms died, I did not die, so I rode his war horse, so I inserted his red feather, and I ran for him on the route from the Chang'an City Gate to the Imperial Palace.

As long as there is still a soldier alive in Datang, the military order will not be broken on the way.

The general defending the city was full of grief and indignation, and there were hot tears flowing in the corners of his eyes, but he never wiped his tears from beginning to end, but kept hitting the war horse under his crotch with his palm, and shouted in his mouth: "I am the Hongling urgent envoy, there is a war report in the northwest......"
