Chapter 214: No War on the Sidelines

The third day of the third month of the first year of the first year of the new century......

"The criminal minister Li Jiancheng visited my emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live!"

At this time, Li Xiuning had only been there for a short time, and I heard that two days after she entered Taiyuan, Li Zhu and the others saw that there were no reinforcements, and there were hidden worries, and they saw that Yang Yi's troops were near!

Surrender!

Li Yuan and Li Shimin are presented with their heads!

Li Jiancheng was named the Marquis of Disobedience, and led the Li Valve to live in Chang'an by Yang Yi!

Li Yuan and Li Shimin are gone, and the rest of Li Valve don't have to care, at this time Li Shimin is just twenty years old, and he has no heirs, and Li Yuan has not had time to call the king until he dies, and there will not be many people who are loyal to Li Valu!

Li Shimin's twenty-four generals of Lingyan Pavilion have no chance to gather at all!

……

"The criminal minister Luo Yi visited my emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Not long after Li Valve announced his surrender, and before the land of Bingzhou was completely occupied, Yang Yi received good news that Luo Yi from Youzhou had surrendered!

"When the world was in turmoil, General Luo guarded the border passes, guarded the land and the people, and protected them from being plundered by foreigners. Seal the town to the north, and Wangqing will make new contributions! I don't hesitate to reward! ”

Although he said that, after Luo Yi was made a marquis, he did not let him lead the army to guard a certain place, but served in the governor's mansion in Chang'an!

Luo Yiqi is also quite ambitious, but his luck is not good, and his ability is insufficient, so he can only be regarded as the middle of the group in the late Sui and early Tang Dynasties!

Such a character, he can't do it without checks and balances, he has to grind away his ambition before he can use it!

His son Luo Cheng is a peerless general, and there can be so many romance characters in this copy of the Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty, which also makes Yang Yi quite curious!

I don't know what kind of demeanor Cheng Biting Jin, Xu Shiji and others have?

At this point, Yang Yi's strategy was suspended, and at this time, the six states of Yongzhou, Liangzhou, Jingzhou, Yizhou, Bingzhou, and Youzhou had been completely recovered, and most of the counties in Jizhou and Yuzhou also took the initiative to surrender!

Even at this time, it is not impossible for Yang Yi to send troops to recover the three states of Jizhou, Yuzhou, and Qingzhou!

Just for the sake of the stability of the rear, Yang Yi decided to hold off!

In the land of the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, Yang Yi has already taken over most of it, and at this time, all the forces are trembling, and Yang Guang, who is far away in Jiangdu County, is also descending to the southern counties one after another at this time, and the Baling Gang, the Iron Cavalry Association and other gang forces were swept away by him and the army one by one without much effort!

As long as Du Fuwei's nail is swept away, he can face the final boss of the unification of Jiangnan - Song Valve Song Que!

……

Mountains and rivers are thousands of miles away, and the city is a nine-fold gate; Don't see the emperor's capital, and know the son of heaven.

Cultural relics gathered, the imperial capital of a thousand autumns, Chang'an is located in the south bank of the Wei River in the Guanzhong Plain, known as the "Eight Hundred Miles of Qinchuan", Zhou, Qin, Han, Western Jin, Qianzhao, Qianqin, Houqin, Western Wei, Northern Zhou, Sui were all built here.

The south is the Zhongnan Mountain in the middle section of the Qinling Mountains, the mountains are stacked on top of each other, steep and steep, become the natural barrier in the south, and there is the majestic momentum of "the mountains and mountains overlook the water, and the blue mountains are inserted into the sky".

In the north, there are Yaoshan Mountain, Huanglong Mountain, Saga Mountain, Liangshan Mountain, etc., which constitute the continuous Beishan mountain system, which is far away from the Qinling Mountains.

On the large fertile plains drawn out of these mountain boundaries, Chang'an City is strong, and the waters of Wei, Jing, Feng, Waterlogging, Wei, Zhu, and Chan are like crystal glittering, and the tassels are fluttering like beads that surround and linger, forming a situation of "eight rivers around Chang'an".

These rivers are like bloodlines, which not only provide Chang'an with abundant water, but also make Chang'an full of vitality.

"Qinzhong has been an imperial state since ancient times", and it is precisely because of various strategic and economic favorable conditions that Chang'an has been favored by successive monarchs since ancient times.

Qin Shi Huang won the remnants of Zhengfen VI, cleaned up the chaos of the Warring States Period, and created a situation of centralization and unification, which had a lot to do with the Qin State.

In the Western Han Dynasty, Zhang Qian went out of the Western Regions twice, opened up the Silk Road from Chang'an to the Western Regions, promoted economic and cultural exchanges between the East and the West, and upgraded Chang'an to become an international famous city, connecting Chinese and foreign civilizations.

At this time, the situation is prosperous, only the eastern capital Luoyang can be compared, and Yangzhou in Jiangdu County is still a little worse in the end!

After the establishment of the Sui Dynasty, a new capital was created and renamed Daxing.

However, after Yang Yi changed the Yuan system, he continued to use Daxing as the capital, but it has been renamed Chang'an, taking its meaning of "long-term peace and stability", because Yang Yi's treasury is rich, and after building and renovating various places, it is more magnificent than before.

The Great Sui Chang'an City is composed of three parts: the outer Guo City, the palace city and the imperial city.

The palace city and the imperial city are located in the center of the northern part of the capital, and the various squares in the outer city guard the palace city and the imperial city from the left, right, and south sides.

With the Zhuque Street in the middle as the boundary, the east and west belong to ten thousand years, Chang'an two counties.

The palace city and the imperial city are the residences of the Great Sui royal family, of course, now the Yang Sui royal family is not abundant, and the palaces in the palace are also rewarded to the ministers! Of course, only a handful of people are treated this way these days!

Guocheng is a place where people live together, each with its own layout.

Thousands of houses are like a game of Go, and the 12th Street is like a vegetable field.

Chang'an Guocheng has a total of 11 streets in the north and south and 14 streets in the east and west, which are divided into 110 squares in a criss-crossing manner.

Among them, the three north-south avenues and three east-west avenues that run through the city gate constitute the traffic backbone in Chang'an City, the most spacious of which is the Zhuque Street of Luoyang Heavenly Street, which is as wide as 40 zhang, and the rest is not as wide as the Zhuque Street, its scale can also be imagined.

In addition to Zhuque Street, Chang'an is most famous for its Metropolis and Liren City, which are located in the southeast and southwest of the imperial city, each occupying two squares.

There are four streets in each city, forming a cross-"well" shaped layout, dividing the entire city boundary into nine districts, each district facing the street on four sides, and shops of various industries are set up on the street. Within each district, there are still small lanes, which are convenient for internal passage.

The two cities are the most lively places in Chang'an City, and many restaurants are open all night, which is a prosperous resort in Chang'an City.

Kou Zhong rode into the city safely from Mingdemen and set foot on Suzaku Street, and was also shocked by the heyday of this extraordinary and imperial capital, so far, he felt that his dream was so slim!

Walking on this main axis that runs through the north and south of Chang'an City, how can I not feel sorry in my heart, thinking that during this period of time, after countless dangers and obstacles, I finally set foot here, that feeling is indeed indescribable.

He first followed Chi Jingde to break the four major Kou, and then followed Pei Xingyan and Su Dingfang to capture Xiangyang; He also followed Li Jing to capture Chengdu, and not long ago, under Li Jing's command, he explored Luoyang's movements! Personally enter Luoyang a few times!

He has made a lot of meritorious contributions, and at this time, he has already been promoted because of his merits, and he has been promoted to the position of General Feiyu Wei Zuolang under Li Jing!

This time the war was a little off, and he deliberately took leave to come back to find Xu Ziling!

In the city of Chang'an, in order to prevent water accumulation, drainage ditches are set up on both sides of the main street in the city, which are as wide as a small river, and at the intersection of the road and water ditches, stone bridges are paved, forming a characteristic of Chang'an.

On both sides of the avenue, there are locust trees, but when this spring comes, the branches and leaves are already full of green buds, but there is a unique scene.

The cold weather in spring does not affect the prosperity of Chang'an. The street is full of traffic, and the pedestrians are like carp, which is more lively than Luoyang.

On both sides of Suzaku Street, whether it is a shop or a residence, it is a large mansion with a large regulation and a large courtyard, with a courtyard and a hall.

The dwellings in the alley are tiled roofs and white walls, and the single-storey structure is arranged into a row of streets and alleys, and the doors of the houses are mostly decorated with elaborate tiled wooden doors, with high walls and deep courtyards, and the lanes are deep and long, which are very different from the lively streets, quiet and peaceful.

The houses of the wealthy families are extremely gorgeous and majestic, and the equipment of the shops is also full of ingenuity, such as barrels and beams, exquisite carvings, or beams interspersed, bucket arches out of the eaves, and different regulations.

Dizzying, the Vermilion Bird Gate of the Imperial City was in sight, the Imperial City could not trespass, Kou Zhong turned around and went to the palace city next to him!

He was wearing a military uniform at this time, and his waist tag was full of letters, and the palace guards were not strict, so after inspecting it, he let him in! But his horse was detained!

There are not many bold women in Chang'an City, and Kou Zhong is checking the waist card, and there are many beautiful girls who throw flattering eyes at him!

It made the rather bold Kou Zhong dare not look at it presumptuously!

The palace city of Chang'an is not small, the road is six cars wide, the road is lined with big trees, walking here, but there is another fun!

The first mansion is "Du Mansion", Kou Zhong knows that this is the mansion of Du Ruhui, who is known as the "Prime Minister of the Dynasty"! It is said that this Du Ruhui has the wisdom of Zhuge Kongming, under the rule of Yang Yi, the country and the people, and the "prime minister" has the first credit!

After Kou Zhong sighed a little, he left!

He hadn't taken a few steps before he felt the movement of the open gate of the Du Mansion that he had just passed, and turned around curiously, and saw about one or twenty people coming out in a crowd at this time!

The one among them, like a weak scholar, looked unremarkable, but the moment Kou Zhong looked at him, he seemed to sense it!

He turned his head to look at Kou Zhong, the two made eye contact, Kou Zhong immediately felt very different, this person's eyes seemed to hide vast knowledge, and his eyes were like starry sky!

"That little brother over there, come forward and talk about it!"

At this time, Kou Zhong saw that the man said a word, and he looked left and right in surprise, only himself?

Is it yourself? He hesitated to step forward a few steps, and when he saw the man's approving gaze, he approached him!

When he walked up, he found that these people around this person were not ordinary people, they were all masters, there were masters inside and outside!

"What do you call this little brother? This official Du Ruhui! ”

It turned out to be him! Although Kou Zhong had already guessed, he still felt a little panicked when he heard the name of the person in front of him!

"Boy Kou Zhong, I've seen adults!"

Kou Zhong gave a military salute!

"Kou Zhong? I have heard your name from His Majesty's mouth, and in the military report a few days ago, I also saw that you have made a lot of contributions, and when I saw you today, I am really a good man!

Where are you going? ”

"The kid was graced by His Majesty and gave the kid the opportunity to go to Zhang Dashuai to study, and the kid has a friend who joined the Huashan faction, and the kid also wants to visit!"

"That's it! Come on, take a horse and give it to General Kou! ”

Du Ruhui nodded, looked at Kou Zhong and said, "There are no horses in this palace, and the mansions of General Zhang and the Huashan faction are far away!" You go like this, but you don't know when you will go, ride my horse! ”

Saying that, he didn't allow Kou Zhong to refuse, so he smiled, waved his hand and left!

Kou Zhong didn't wake up until he arrived at the mansion where the Huashan faction was located, and at this time he looked at the plaque of the Huashan faction and wanted to step forward and call the door!

"Hey, isn't it Xiao Zhong?"

At this time, suddenly the door of the mansion opened, and a group of people walked out, one of them looked at Kou Zhong and shouted in surprise!

He shouted and stepped forward, hugging Kou Zhong, it was Xu Ziling!

"Zhong Shao, let me introduce you, this is Senior Brother Linghu, this is Senior Sister Yue, they are a couple, Zhong Shao doesn't have to make up his mind, this is Senior Brother Lu......"

After Xu Ziling introduced a few people who came out together to Kou Zhong, he said to everyone: "A few senior brothers and sisters, this is my brother Kou Zhong, but I want to be a "general"!" ”

"Oh? You are Kou Zhong, I heard from Senior Sister Jiu not long ago! Ziling, you entertain your friends first! Today, I will ask for a leave of absence from Senior Sister Jiu! ”

A woman from the Huashan faction looked at Kou Zhong when she heard this, but she didn't care, she said so!

Waiting for the pedestrian to go away, Xu Ziling said: "Senior Sister Yue, who spoke just now, her father is the lord of a peak in Huashan, and her mother is also the lord of a peak, and she usually speaks not very politely, Zhong Shao, don't care!" ”

Kou Zhong naturally didn't care, he hadn't been a beggar for a long time, he had the cheekiness to ask his sister-in-law to ask for steamed buns to eat for so many years, and other people's tone was already polite to him!

"Oh! That one named Linghu doesn't look good! Did Ling Shao consider prying his corner! ”

After the two returned to Xu Ziling's room, Kou Zhong said with a smile.

"Senior Brother Linghu is a good person, and his swordsmanship is also extremely powerful, Zhong Shao should not underestimate it!"

Listening to Xu Ziling's serious words, Kou Zhong saw that he didn't want to be fake, so he asked again: "Ling Shao, how much can you send your swordsmanship in the Huashan Sect, and what about the one named Linghu?" How does it compare to that rheumatism? ”

"Alas, my swordsmanship is far from being ranked! There are so many people in the Huashan faction, and there are too many powerful swordsmanship! Senior Brother Linghu is naturally more powerful than that rheumatism!

Senior Brother Linghu is also a master who can be ranked in our generation, in addition to the senior uncle of the previous generation, among the disciples of the Huashan faction in this generation, I heard that several disciples under the head of the sect are very powerful, Senior Sister Qu, Senior Sister Xia, Senior Sister Nine I have seen, the swordsmanship is superb, no one dares to mess with them, presumably the other senior sisters are similar! The others are just a Senior Brother Qi who seems to be in the middle of the same as Senior Brother Linghu, as for whether there are any other powerful ones, I don't know! ”

Kou Zhong was only speechless when he heard it, but he didn't expect that there were so many masters of the Huashan faction, he thought for a while, and then asked, "What about the older generation?" How powerful? ”

"I have seen Uncle Huang in the previous generation, and he seems to be not much stronger than Senior Brother Linghu! There is also a Senior Uncle Yuan, who is not much older than us, and seems to be younger than Senior Brother Linghu, but he is very good at fists and feet! The rest of the uncles heard that they were all very powerful! They are all top masters! ”

Hearing that he didn't say anything more, Kou Zhong asked curiously, "Ziling, where is your master?" ”

When Xu Ziling heard this, he smiled bitterly and said, "I don't seem to have a master? However, I have been practicing swords with my ancestors! ”

Looking at Kou Zhong's puzzled expression, he introduced and said, "My ancestor is clear-winded, known as the "Sword Saint", I heard that the demon girl and evil king Shi Zhixuan of the Yin Sect were driven out of Chang'an City by him with a sword! ”

After Xu Ziling told him some secret rumors about the rivers and lakes, Kou Zhong's knowledge soared!

But he was not happy at all, he felt that his wish was so far away!
