31 Travel in plain clothes
Baitan City is different from the past. It is five miles in horizontally and vertically, inside and outside, and three cities are nested. The city on four sides is separated by horse faces. The rammed earth is built and bricks are wrapped inside and outside.
There were three thousand soldiers inside, and they were subordinate to the commander Gaoche Central Army General.
"Meet the King." Xian Yufu, Xian Yuyin, both of them were holding the horse in front of the king.
"Two people are exempted from gifts." Liu Bei asked through the window, "How is Gao Che Wangting, what are you doing in the near future?"
"Since King Guiyi died, the twelve Kings of Guiyi gathered in the shore of Baihai to discuss state affairs. The ministers and others went to pay their respects in person, but there was nothing unusual." Xian Yu Fu said.
"There can be an altar in the city." Liu Bei asked again.
"The people from the south of the city set up an altar to pay tribute. We did not stop it." Xian Yufu replied again.
"Immediately inform the twelve Marquis of Guiyi. I said that I would like to worship King Guiyi in the city and ask the elders of each tribe to join the funeral of King Guiyi."
Liu Bei was the son-in-law of King Guiyi. He was also the "common leader of the Donghu". This move was naturally appropriate. Xianyufu and Xianyuyin knew it well, so he took the order and refused to mention it.
Tens of thousands of troops rushed into the inner city of Baitan. Looking at the flag of King Ji from a distance, the residents of the city knelt beside the road, each crying. The old king had passed away, and people were in panic. Since Liu Bei's Baitan City was defeated by the Xianbei Da Shanyu, who was as strong as the sky. Before Tan Shihuai died, he passed the Xianbei King's Staff to Liu Bei. At that time, Liu Bei was the "common ruler of the Donghu" in the hearts of each tribe in the grassland. It should be noted that the Donghu and other Donghu all regarded the Great Han as their mother tribes. Liu Bei was a relative of the Great Han clan and was connected by blood, so he was a family. It is reasonable to be the leader of the Donghu.
Liu Bei also lived up to the expectations of the public, and was prestigious in the world, leading the Donghu shepherds to go south to surrender. Even if he stayed on the grassland, he knew that "the east leader was in the south."
Previously, the grassland was in the strong prey. Which family was strong, it would be entangled with which family. There were the Xiongnu, Xianbei, and Wuhuan, Gaoche. Formerly there were Fuyu and Yilou, which were also entangled with it. Since Liu Bei was the "common ruler of the Donghu", he successively established the fourteen Xianbei tribes, Yan vassal states, the three counties, Wuhuan vassal states, the twelve Gaoches, Guiyi vassal states, and the new Fuyu vassal states and the Woju vassal states in the north and south. Donghu changed nomadic to semi-nomadic states, and even the general trend was the trend. The wool, leather, fresh milk, chees, livestock, horses, meteorites, gems, etc. produced were traded with Ji. In exchange for the famous product of Ji, it could be said that it had a fixed place to have enough food and clothing.
King Ji also ordered that all the people of all departments, without branches, should pay the full amount of sacrifice according to the taxes of Ji State. The elders of each department did not violate it.
It is precisely because Ji Kingdom is lying across the vague and Ji, and tigers are lying on the side. All the grassland tribes dare not disobey. However, the people of Nangaoche are rapidly changing from "semi-nomadic" to "agriculture and animal husbandry", how can they give up halfway?
At this critical moment, King Guiyi died. Another news came out of the royal court, saying that the twelve tribes wanted to all the young and middle-aged tribes to go north. It was called funeral, but it was actually to attack the six families of Beihai.
The so-called "dogs are anxious and suddenly a wall". The Liu family of Beihai is killed, and there is no way to hide, and there is no way to avoid it. They must fight to the death.
One out of ten people who are young and strong in the clan can survive by chance.
In this way, even if the high cars in the north and south are barely unified, there are still unknown numbers among the twelve surnames of the six clans that can survive.
At this moment, I saw the king's flag from afar. How could the man from the south not crying with joy?
Tens of thousands of soldiers were disassembled and put together in an orderly manner. They rose up in front of everyone. The inner city military camp was built into a solid camp fort with enamel iron walls several meters high. The towers were looking at the towers and arrow towers. The garrisons forming the camp walls were arranged, with several carriages, and other mechanisms, and attack and defense weapons. The camp was also divided by the carriages. The camps were divided into four camps, with regular entry and exit, and each had their own functions. In the center, the Ji King Central Army camp was composed of new barracks and horse-drawn carriages.
The strength of Ji State's organs is amazing.
On the grassland in the north of the border, there is a flat horse. Ten thousand soldiers can arrange a "large formation of soldiers". Whether it is moving or camping, it can be said that it is invincible. Just like there are many lakes in the south of the Yangtze River, it often traps horse hooves. Heavy cavalry is mostly useless. On the grassland outside the border, the most powerful soldiers can arrange a formation of soldiers.
King Ji has always been in case of unexpected danger. The fierce tigers fight against the rabbits and use all their strength. Therefore, even though all the elite soldiers and generals were out, they also brought tens of thousands of military vehicles of various types.
The son of a daughter cannot sit in the hall. King Ji touched his whole body with one hair.
How can you not be cautious and cautious?
"Brother." When Taishi Ci and Huang Xu entered the tent side by side, Liu Bei had already changed into casual clothes. The three brothers made an appointment and went out in casual clothes. Shi Huan and other embroidered officials also went together.
"Where do you want to go?" Taishici asked when he left the corner gate of the Houying Camp.
"Go to the Hu Ji Restaurant in the city." Liu Bei replied.
"If my elder brother wants to drink, I and my fifth brother should accompany you. Why should I go to Hu Ji's restaurant?" As people's hearts are turbulent, Taishici doesn't want his brother to take risks easily.
"This is to collect folk songs." Liu Bei said the whole story: "He is in a high position and is surrounded by important officials. The Ji State's administration is clear and clear, so there is no need to doubt it. However, the outside world is not as good as the middle school, so we need to look at the people's livelihood in person."
Seeing that his brother had decided to leave, Taishici and Huang Xu should accompany him.
Huang Xu's childhood illness has grown up and has recovered. There are few attacks nowadays. Although the mask can be removed, he is used to covering his face: "Brother, I want to know the real cause of King Guiyi's death."
"This is one of them." Liu Bei nodded gently: "If King Guiyi's life should not be eliminated and he was assassinated by others, there will be rumors and rumors. The wine shop has been a place where rumors and rumors gather. Let's listen to the legends of the wine lovers from north to south here."
"Yes." The three of them asked where the Hu Ji's wine shop was located in Qingcheng, and then came along the way.
The inner city of Baitan was built by Liu Bei before. Although his face was completely different, it was still vaguely distinguishable before. After leaving the inner city, the middle city and the outer land were all built later. The moat was turned into an inland river in the city, and there were sometimes ships coming and going. In other words, Baitan City should have a water fort.
When you pass through the middle city, you will reach the outer city, and enter the Hu Ji wine shop. Any Hu Ji wine shop must be opened by a vassal merchant in the Western Regions. Gaochang Pujiao wine is famous all over the world. It is decorated with wooden barrels and cattle and horses. It is also known as the "Red and White Liquor" with the pine spring brew of Ji Kingdom. As for the jadeite that is as high as 30 degrees, it cannot be drunk without the empire Luoyang or under the Ji Kingdom city.
White sandalwood markets. Merchants from north to south gather, and good goods from east to west gather. The vassal clothing is mixed with the accent of the countryside. The traffic is full of traffic and the people are full of people.
It is very different from the style of Ji Kingdom. There is also a chaise on the lobby on the first floor, but it is a Hu bed. There is a high platform in the middle. On the platform, Hu Ji was wearing a tulle, and Hu danced with bright light. The whistles came one after another. I have to say that from ancient times to the present, Hu people have learned their own knowledge without a teacher, and they are all good at this path.
There is also a Hu Ji dancer in Ji Country. However, it is not as vulgar as this... vulgar. Well, it is really vulgar.
After staying for a while, they found nothing. Everyone then climbed to the elegant seat on the second floor. Most of the downstairs were travelers, and they heard from others, but they didn't know the depth. They were not trustworthy.
When he saw Liu Bei and his party, he was full of noble spirit. The beautiful girl had a good wife and her eyes lit up. Then he stepped forward diligently and introduced her to the elegant seat.
Ji Guo’s simple yarn robe suit is popular in the north. Especially the plain yarn robe suit, which is exquisitely crafted and expensive. It is not ordinary women who can wear it. However, the robes upstairs and downstairs all have socks and dust, and the green sleeves give off the style. A look at it shows the "foot". You can also see the whole leopard. The style of the heavenly state is from the outside, from the inside to the outside. It is like bathing in the spring breeze, moistening things silently.
As a man, he still wears seiko (hishou) cloth socks.
Everyone sat down.
