At night, the Emperor was stationed here, and he stayed for a night before continuing to go south to Yecheng the next day.

Xiangguo went south to Yiyang, the capital of Xiangguo County, about 60 miles. If you rode a horse and gallop, you could arrive within half a day. However, it was already afternoon when the emperor's carriage set off from Xiangguo, and a large group of people accompanied him, and the speed of progress was not much faster than walking.

The emperor naturally took a car or rode a horse, but most of the accompanying palace maids, eunuchs and other servants could only walk, so it was good to travel forty miles a day, and the situation of this trip was quite small.

When Yuwen Wen was a son of the royal family, he was a guard in the palace and saw how grand the show was of Emperor Tianyuan Yuwen Yun.

One time, Yuwen Yun went from Chang'an to the adjacent Tongzhou old place. The soldiers of the central army (Imperial Guard) of the guards took five steps along the way, and arranged them from Chang to Tongzhou Palace. Yuwen Wen was considered a "high-level guard" and could ride a horse to avoid the pain of standing guard.

When he went to Luoyang again, the show was still grand. At that time, Yuwen Yun ordered his four queens to line up and drive in parallel at the same time. Anyone who is slow or fast will be scolded, which has implicated many palace maids. The eunuch complained, and the emperor's majesty was trembling to the extreme by this person.

In contrast, Yuwen Qiankeng's trip was average and because of his slow movement, he had to spend the night in Shaheyi midway.

The inn was ready to welcome the emperor to stay. Of course, Yuwen Wen, as a member of the royal family, also benefited from it. He could rest in the inn and accompany the little emperor to watch the stars at night.

When watching stars, Yuwen Wen used the Qianli Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile, which was used as a primary astronomical mirror. Since Yuwen Qiankeng got this treasure, he naturally soon discovered many uses. Looking at the stars and the moon is one of the fun.

"Mr. Xiyang, there seems to be some bumps on the moon. I think the saying of the Moon Palace is a false news?"

"Your Majesty, it seems that's true now."

"Are there any immortals in the sky?"

"It's not known that I have never seen it before."

"Oh, I thought the Milky Way was the Heavenly River, but when I looked at it with a thousand-mile mirror, I thought there were all stars. I thought the Heavenly Palace was also a rumor?"

"Your Majesty, maybe the Heavenly Palace cannot be seen by the naked eye, and I don't know where the Heavenly Palace is."

Yuwen Qiankeng was very interested, so Yuwen Wen chatted with him. He probably knew some basic common sense in astronomy, but in this era, he was looking for death. The emperor could ask, the people in the Imperial Heavenly Prison could answer, but as a minister, he had to avoid suspicion.

Watch the celestial phenomena all day and night, what are your intentions!

Of course, Yuwen Wen had no intention, but wanted to avoid the plum trees in the melon fields, so he didn't mind waiting for eunuchs on both sides. Since they wanted to listen, they would listen, so that some people would not be worried.

"Meteorite, it's a meteorite!" Yu Wen Qiankeng shouted excitedly. When Yu Wen looked up, he saw a meteor cutting through the sky. A moment later another meteor passed by. Not only that, several meteors appeared one after another.

"Ah, it's the meteor shower." Yuwen Wen replied. In this era, the meteor shower was called the meteor shower, so he "followed the local customs."

"I read the classics and it is said that the appearance of a meteorite indicates good or bad luck or disaster. Does Xiyang Gong know how to judge?"

"I have never learned astronomy, so how can I know how to judge? Now that the country and the people in the Great Zhou Dynasty are peaceful, your Majesty need not worry about it."

Yuwen Qiankeng wanted to say something, but he didn't say it at the end. He remembered that in the classics he had read, it said that the appearance of the meteorite rain was a precursor to the coming of disaster, and some even said that it was a warning of the national crisis or the death of the monarch.

If this is true, who will it be? Is it the king of Chen, Yang Ni from Sui, or himself?

......

The next day, the emperor's carriage continued to move south. Yuwen Wen was helpless when he looked at the long line. It would take a few days to reach Yecheng at this speed, and he happened to arrive in Yecheng before the Double Ninth Festival.

Maybe he was eager to return home, but he was a little impatient, but no matter how anxious he was, he couldn't come. Seeing that he was looking around, Yuchi Jing rode his horse to approach and asked what he was looking at. When Yuwen Wen said he was looking at the surrounding terrain, Yuchi Jing smiled:

"The Duke of Xiyang County is a good military service. The Mingshui is more than ten miles south of here. After passing Mingshui, it will be Yiyang, the capital of Mingzhou Prefecture."

"Look at my memory. I went north along this road a few days ago, but now I forgot about the return journey." Yuwen Wen smiled. In fact, he still had nothing to say. After all, he was not as ill as Alzheimer's disease, so he naturally knew the terrain of this area.

Mingshui is still quite famous, of course this is another impression in Yuwen Wen's memory, it was the Battle of Mingshui in the early Tang Dynasty.

In the fourth year of Wude in the Tang Dynasty, Dou Jiande's subordinate Liu Heita raised an army to rebel against the Tang Dynasty and established his capital in Mingzhou. It soon swept across most of Hebei and some counties in Henan, defeating the Huai'an King Li Shentong and the Youzhou General Manager Luo Yi.

The Tang army suffered a series of defeats and the Qin King Li Shimin was ordered to put out the fire. After a fierce battle, the two sides fought fiercely on the north and south of the Mingshui River. The Tang army occupied Mingshui City and led the army to attack for Liu Heita. The Tang army's chief general Wang Junkuo broke through, leaving a brave general to lead two hundred dead soldiers to defend the city on his behalf.

This general's surname is Luo and his name is Shixin. It is the prototype of the white horse and silver spear Luo in the Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Luo Shixin led 200 people to guard Mingshui City for eight days and nights. The Tang army outside the city was unable to support it. Finally, the city fell, and Luo Shixin was captured and refused to surrender and was killed.

"It's a pity that I'm only in my twenties." Yuwen Wen sighed. Although this incident had not happened in this era, it did not hinder his memory. He just felt a little "ominous" when he thought about it.

‘It’s so evil. I’ve been restless these days. I won’t have any trouble here, right?’

Yuwen Wen felt that he had used his brain too much. Now the emperor's carriage is walking on the official road with plains around him. No assassin dares to assassin unless it is an enemy.

But east of Taihang Mountain is the border of Zhou, and the eight passes of Taihang are blocked tightly. Where did the enemy troops come from?

Thinking of this, Yuwen Wen shook his head and forced himself to calm down. After all, he was suspicious all day long and easily bald. Looking around, he decided to look up at the scenery and divert his attention.

This shift really revealed that there was something wrong. He saw dust flying in the north, and it seemed that a horse team was approaching quickly. He thought it was a messenger of the messenger, but the dusty aura was not very similar.

It seems that there are thousands of cavalrymen in this scale!

Yuchi Jing also noticed this situation. It was not allowed to so many cavalrymen quickly approached the emperor's carriage. He thought about which general who was moving and defending passed by, but did not notice the emperor's ceremonial guard in front of him, so he wanted to send the imperial guards to stop him.

"Let them stop and rush into the emperor's ceremonial guards, but... it's wrong, why didn't the cavalry behind the palace stop them!"

Yuwen Wen was shocked when he heard this, and he also realized that something was wrong. The emperor had a vanguard who made the way and a guard behind the hall. It was impossible for these cavalrymen to rush over and not meet the imperial guard behind the hall.

He pulled out the Qianlijing to look at it, and when he saw it, he almost poked the Qianlijing into his eyes, because what he saw in his vision was a cavalry wearing yellow military uniform. Yuwen Wen could hardly believe his eyes because he couldn't understand how the Sui army cavalry appeared here.
