Chapter 77 [Barriers approaching Chang'an, entering the city in the evening]

The horse ran wildly and was rushing at lightning, passing through the prefectures and counties along the way, which shocked countless people.

Iron Cavalry?

It turned out to be an Iron Cavalry?

When did the iron cavalry actually appear in the mainland of the Tang Dynasty?

Could it be that a vassal state mobilized border troops to Chang'an? But it was wrong. The border troops have always been not allowed to enter the pass.

Countless people speculated and countless people were confused, so unknowingly, countless birds flew towards Chang'an.

Before Guo Ziyi and the others arrived, Chang'an had already learned about the Iron Cavalry.

...

In ancient times, cavalry could travel more than 600 miles a day, but no one would do this because they would exhaust their horses.

Especially Guo Ziyi and his team of cavalry were equipped with iron armor, and the load was extremely high, which was not conducive to long-term sustainability.

Therefore, I only ran three times a day, and only galloped for two cups of tea at a time. How long does it take for two cups of tea? It takes about twenty minutes in later generations.

Except for these three rushing times a day, I have been dismounting and walking the rest of the time, trying my best to maintain the strength of the war horse, and never being impatient.

Despite this, the speed of traveling is still not slow. Every time you gallop for two cups of tea, you can almost run thirty miles, three times a day, more than ninety years. In addition, you can walk off the horse and just control it to a hundred miles every day.

It is about 2,000 miles from Lanling to Chang'an, but the official roads in some counties are disrepaired, and the detours when encountering mountains and rivers, so there are many more real roads, at least 2,500 miles away.

Hurry up, it will take 25 days.

So when they stepped into Guanlong, the weather had turned into deep winter, and suddenly there was a heavy snow, and the world turned white.

Only then did I realize that the official road was very noisy, and countless carriages and horses gathered like a stream, and the target was all in Chang'an.

Occasionally, there were luxuriously decorated carriages, surrounded by elite fang soldiers, and followed the caravan, loaded with caravans.

At the end of the year, officials from all over the country came to Beijing to report their duties, and the emperor issued an imperial edict to the world, requiring officials above the county magistrate to gather in Chang'an, so the closer they were to the official road in Chang'an, the more crowded the carriages, horses and pedestrians seemed.

Because the road is too crowded and no longer suitable for galloping, Guo Ziyi and others all dismounted and chose to walk to continue on the road.

But at this moment, the sound of hooves suddenly sounded behind.

But when he saw a team of fierce cavalry running wildly, the number of people actually exceeded that of Guo Ziyi and the others. At first glance, he could have at least a thousand people.

In a blink of an eye, the leading general suddenly looked back and asked with a laugh, "Where are you cavalrymen? You are so majestic! Why are you dismounting and walking? Why don't you gallop? Come on, how about a game?"

Amid the crazy laughter, he hooked his fingers at Guo Ziyi and others, his face full of rebelliousness, and he looked at the eagle and looked at him.

However, Guo Ziyi did not respond, but simply clasped his fists and arched, saying, "It's cold and the road is hard to go, especially the official road is endless. I think it's not suitable to ride a horse."

The general immediately looked contemptuous and sneered: "If we run wildly, who dares not give way?"

Then he burst into laughter and said unyieldingly: "I thought you were men, but I didn't expect that they were a group of soft-spoken people. Hahaha, if you don't compare, you won't compare..."

With a crazy laugh, he ran wildly, and in an instant, he led more than a thousand cavalrymen, and his hooves roared away with a loud roar.

Guo Ziyi's eyes flashed and he watched them leave from afar. After a long time, he said softly: "These people have great riding skills."

Li Guangbi yelled twice and lowered his voice: "But their personalities are very arrogant!"

Guo Ziyi looked at him and suddenly asked, "Are these people border troops?"

Li Guangbi did not hesitate and nodded slowly and said, "Brother, you guessed that these people are border troops. And from the direction they came, most of them were from Fan Yang."

Guo Ziyi's eyes shone again, as if muttering to himself: "Jiangmao Fan Yang, An Lushan..."

At this moment, Linglong suddenly spoke, her pretty face seemed to be scared, and she kept saying: "Lucky,

I was not discovered. I deliberately lowered my head just now and was not seen by that dog guy.”

Guo Ziyi was slightly stunned and subconsciously said, "Do you know this person?"

Linglong snorted lightly, glanced at him fiercely, and said unhappily: "Have you forgotten what I told you before? There is a dog in Fan Yang who has an engagement with me."

Guo Ziyi turned her head and looked at the direction where the group of cavalry disappeared again. Suddenly, a smile appeared on her face and said meaningfully: "I don't know if they will participate in the imperial court's martial arts after they come here..."

Linglong was stunned at first, then she looked surprised and said, "Good thief, do you want to kill him for me? If that dog is participating in the martial arts department, you must beat him to death in the competition."

Guo Ziyi laughed and said without comment: "That's up to him."

"I'll definitely attend, he'll definitely attend."

Linglong's face was full of excitement and smiled like a flower, saying, "Although the border army is domineering and the vassal states are powerful, they still have to abide by the rules on the surface. If you want to have a military position, you must participate in the martial arts department. Even the son of the Jiedushi must leave the occasion. Good thief, please help me kill him, otherwise he will live and will rob you of his wife. I am not willing to marry him, you have already slept with you..."

Li Guangbi and others laughed and said, "It turns out that the princess is also a sister-in-law. Should we be polite?"

Linglong's pretty face turned red, but she mustered up the courage and said loudly: "Scream, call me sister-in-law."

Guo Ziyi frowned and said in a deep voice: "It's not a joke now, we should continue to rush."

When everyone saw him as if he was angry, they quickly restrained their laughter.

Suddenly, Guo Ziyi turned over and said with a flash of eyes: "Others can run wildly, but we can't be weak anymore. This time, when we come to Chang'an, we must win the momentum first..."

Everyone didn't know what his intention was, but they saw the determination in his eyes, so they all turned over and shouted, "Lanling Iron Cavalry, the world is invincible."

The war horses sprinted with a bang and turned into five hundred torrents.

...

...

This time I chose to gallop on my horse, no longer stingy with the strength of the war horse, so I ran wildly like the wind, and gradually saw the giant city of Chang'an.

They roared and galloped quickly, approaching the city, and suddenly a group of soldiers appeared in front of them, attacking them from afar. The leader was a general who shouted angrily and roared: "Who is so bold, when he arrived at the Chang'an imperial capital, he dared to gallop. He quickly dismounted and waited for the arrangement."

But Li Guangbi smiled and winked at the man, saying, "Who did I think it was you? It turned out to be you. Bai Xiaode, what kind of big-tailed wolf do you pretend to be? They are all acquaintances, are you embarrassed?"

Amid the laughter, the team of people on the opposite side had already arrived. The leading general was obviously stunned. Then he took a breath of air conditioning and said with surprise: "My God, why are you?"

It turned out that this person was no one else, the one who gave Guo Ziyi a knife when he was out of prison.

At this time, Guo Ziyi also recognized him, quickly bowed with fists with both hands, and said, "Brother Bai, we're meeting again."

Bai Xiaode on the opposite side looked angry and said, "Why are you calling me? You may not be as big as me?"

As a result, Li Guangbi laughed again and said, "Okay, Lao Bai, you have no dispute about this. You kid are three months younger than me, so I have to call Brother Guo."

Bai Xiaode looked disappointed and pretended not to hear it.

Suddenly, the guy looked at Guo Ziyi, and seemed very angry, and said in a deep voice: "I said, are you sick? Do you know that you shouldn't come back? The prince spent a lot of energy to get you away. Only half a year has passed, are you rushing back to seek death?"

As he said that, he stopped slightly and said angrily: "And I, I cut myself into pieces to save you, and my arms were almost ruined. I finally managed to maintain them."

Guo Ziyi held his fist from beginning to end, and fucked his accusations. Instead, Princess Linglong was so angry that her pretty face turned cold. She suddenly shouted from the side and said angrily: "Bai Xiaode, you are so brave. It seems that she had beaten you less before. This time, Princess will educate you well when she comes back."

Bai Xiaode was obviously stunned, and then he realized that Princess Linglong was pale, subconsciously turned her head and said, "No, my stomach hurts."

However, before he could escape, he was suddenly stopped by Linglong and scolded again: "Stop me and answer a few questions. If you dare to run, be careful of your dog's legs."

Bai Xiaode looked disappointed, his head shrank hard, and said with a frown: "Cousin, can we not bring such a person? No matter what, I am also your brother. If you don't give me face like this, how can I be a human being in the future."

Linglong didn't listen to his complaints at all, but instead asked directly, "Tell me, why did you take your troops out of the city to stop people? I remember you are from Qianniu Guard, and your duty should be to protect the palace."

It would be fine if you didn't ask this. When Bai Xiaode asked, he looked aggrieved and hummed, "I don't want to come out either. It's so comfortable to hide in the palace to take a break. It's a cold day, do you think I'm willing."

Although he complained, he did not forget to answer the erotic question. He suddenly looked up straight and said very seriously: "At the end of the year, officials from all over the country have entered Beijing, especially this year, His Majesty is going to hold the Lantern Festival. All officials in the world, at or above the county level, must gather in Chang'an, which is a grand event that has not been seen in decades."

"In addition, there are also vassal states in various places who have sent their troops to participate in the martial arts department. Even the governors will come to Chang'an this time."

"Cousin, you should understand how rebellious those governors are. Every time they enter the pass and enter the capital, they must carry at least one or two thousand soldiers. If all nine governors come, wouldn't the combined soldiers and horses be more than ten thousand?"

"This is very dangerous and easy to get into trouble, so the court is very cautious and His Majesty attaches unprecedented importance to it. Therefore, our Qianniu Guard came out."

Linglong is so smart that she understands it instantly, but she pretends to be ignorant and repeats deliberately: "The nine governors entered the capital, and more than 10,000 soldiers were in the city, so you go out of the city to intercept and do not allow any soldiers to enter the city, right?"

She was obviously saying this to Guo Ziyi, but she was worried that Guo Ziyi would not understand it thoroughly.

Bai Xiaode nodded, suddenly looked at Guo Ziyi with a deep meaning, and said solemnly: "Brother Guo, we are not outsiders. I would like to give you a suggestion, let the cavalry under your command find a place to settle down."

"Although I don't know why you are back, I guess you must have something to do when you come back. However, you can't lead troops into the city. It's easy to be targeted, which will be detrimental to what you want to do."

Guo Ziyi slowly let out a breath and said, "What if I don't want to?"

Bai Xiaode was stunned and read a book www.uukanshu.com suddenly turned his horse's head and shouted, "Then don't blame me for making an array under the city gate and having a fight with you guys."

As he spoke so loudly, his tone suddenly became low, and he said in a low voice: "There is a barracks in Wannian County, Chang'an, which have been disrepaired for a long time and have been abandoned. Li Guangbi should know that it was the territory of Zuo Yulin Guard in the past. But now it is allocated to Jiminfang for the place of beggars and refugees from other places. You can wait until the evening to enter the city, take off your armor and do not attract attention..."

Then he became louder again and shouted sternly: "Where is my duty, I will definitely be in line under the city gate. Whoever dares to attack the city gate is a rebel bandit."

He whipped the horse whip in his hand and led his troops away.

Guo Ziyi looked at his back and said softly: "I owe him twice."

Li Guangbi came over and whispered: "Brother, it's better to have less than more things. Let's listen to him and enter the city again in the evening."

Guo Ziyi nodded slowly and said, "Okay!"

But Linglong suddenly spoke and said with a smile: "You can enter the city in the evening, but your boss wants to go with me. I finally went home to visit the wedding. How could I not show my face with my man?"

Everyone was slightly stunned, unable to guess what she meant.

But Linglong laughed twice and said with a deep meaning: "If you want to cause trouble in Chang'an City, you can't do without a backstage. My grandfather is the Prince of Wuyang, so your boss must go and pay homage to him."

Li Guangbi's eyes lit up and he suddenly said, "I will follow you into the city and take my elder brother to my house. Although my father is timid and afraid of trouble, he is the General Zuo Yulin Guard after all."

These are two strong backends and must be supported.
