After passing Longxi, it does not mean that you will arrive in Chang'an immediately.
Although General Hussar has dredged and tidied up the roads throughout Guanzhong and even to Longxi, according to the traffic speed of the Han Dynasty, there is still no way to say that you can go wherever you want, but at least you can see some completely different from Longxi.
Different villages and fields.
A line of queues walked slowly, around a big bend, passed through a forest, and climbed from one fold to another. Suddenly, a large expanse of cultivated land appeared in front of them, and a small amount of cultivation had begun.
The tiny pieces of wheat, with a little bit of hope-filled comfort, stretch from here in front of you to the distance...
"This..." Han Guo stared blankly, "This..."
"It's really like the color of a field..." Wei Dan glanced sideways at Han Guo who was standing aside, then rode his horse to look ahead, and chanted, "There are many crops in the field. Planting is a warning, and preparation is a matter of business. With me, Tan
Shu, Chu Zai Nanmu. Bojue hundreds of valleys, both the garden and the great, great-grandson is like..."
"Ah?" Han Guo was stunned for a moment, and then shouted from behind, "Uh, this, what are you talking about?"
Wei Dan smiled and continued walking forward without answering Han Guo's question.
The queue continued to move forward, and the soldiers at the front held the tricolor flag high, and from time to time waved it to the sentry tower in the distance as agreed, signaling safety.
Although Guanzhong is generally peaceful now, it does not mean that we can just ignore everything. As the location of the entire Northwest Development Corporation, it is naturally impossible for there to be no security at all. The closer we get to Guanzhong, the more heavily guarded we become.
For Longxi, which is relatively vast and has a relatively large floating population, it is natural not to pay too much attention to small-scale population movements, but in the land of Sanfu, it is completely different, but the number of people in the queue exceeds ten, and
Anyone carrying weapons or horses is under the watchful eye of sentry towers everywhere. Whenever there is some extraordinary behavior, alarm fireworks will be lit immediately, and patrols scattered throughout the Guanzhong will be dispatched.
Basically within an hour, the alarm point will be reached, and it will be judged according to the situation whether a second warning is needed. Of course, if the second alarm is transmitted, the scale of the entire incident will inevitably expand...
This is also a limitation of the cold weapon era. Although villages and towns do not have to worry too much about being breached by a team of more than a dozen people, if they are caught by some bandits and Liu Kou, there is no need to attack the villages and towns at all.
Killing some farmers and women in the fields outside, robbing some property, stealing cattle, etc. is already a headache enough.
With early warning, there is time to prepare in advance.
Before the Hussar General arrived in Guanzhong, the defeated troops, bandits, and some peasants who could not survive were either fighting with open fire, or secretly picked up swords and guns, and engaged in business without capital. It was really chaotic, and it was impossible to leave the city.
No one dared to walk alone on the road. It was not until the Hussars General established a complete inspection system and introduced a large number of retired soldiers to serve as guards in various places in the Third Auxiliary that the chaotic situation in the entire Third Auxiliary was relatively completely controlled.
All of this was so new to Han Lai, including Wei Dan, who was not very friendly towards him, and was also full of curiosity.
Wei Dan met Wei Dan on the way, and his goal was also to go to Chang'an, so the officials at the post station simply arranged them to be in the same queue, which was easier. Of course, the post station also served as a delivery station for mail and supplies, etc., not only
Just escorting Han Guo and Wei Dan.
This time was no exception. There were two cars behind them. I don’t know what was in the cars. Anyway, they were guarded by some guards.
Han Guo turned around. Compared to the supplies in the car, he was more interested in Wei Dan. Unfortunately, Wei Dan was not interested in him. Well, interested...
Wei Dan seems to only like writing.
According to Han Guo's observation, it seemed that Wei Dan would write whenever he had free time. Sometimes he would write on a wooden board with water, sometimes he would write on the ground with branches, and sometimes he would even use nothing and just freeze in the sky.
Write……
Is it interesting to write it like this?
Han Guo remembered that he curiously asked Wei Dan this question, and then Wei Dan just smiled and said nothing as he did before.
Han Guo curled his lips.
I thought they were all young men, so they should talk better...
Although Wei Dan had a smile on his face, Han Guo knew at that time that beneath the smile, there was actually alienation and contempt.
Han Guo thought of his father, well, strictly speaking, he should be his adoptive father. At that time, his father was sitting on the top of the mountain holding a cane, looking at the sunset on the horizon, and said that his whole life was to make others think highly of him, and to become a
A respected big shot, but it was only when he was old, weak, sick and disabled that he realized that it was not very important whether others looked down on him or not. It was also not very important whether he was a big shot or not...
At that time, Han Guo asked his father, what was the most important thing?
His father said, you will understand when the time comes.
Han Guo looked up at the sky and seemed to understand somewhat, but not completely.
The sun is just right, and the golden light slants down, covering the slightly undulating land of Guanzhong. Even the folds and ravines seem to be brighter. The Wei River and the ditches in the distance are like silver strips of light.
, flowing slowly, extending to the end of the line of sight.
This is a good weather. Many farmers use oxen or horses, or even carry a plow on their backs, and work hard in the fields. Their exposed skin is covered with soil, and their faces are covered with sweat.
The dust on the bed broke out grooves, but it couldn't wash away the satisfied and hopeful smile at the corner of the mouth.
This smile is much prettier than Wei Dan's smile.
It was much prettier than the smiles on the faces of the Qiang and Hu people that Han Guo had seen in Longxi...
Wei Dan said it was because of the so-called "ritual", but Han Guo couldn't understand it.
"Etiquette, rules, rules, Tao, principles..." At the beginning, when Wei Dan was willing to explain to Han Guo, he said, "Hu people are barbaric, so they are rude..."
Han Guo thought for a long time, then found Wei Dan and said, "That's not the case..."
Take eating for example.
Everyone needs to eat, whether they are Han people or Hu people.
The Han people may have Han banquet rules, but the Hu people also have their own rules.
Generally, the Hu people have bowls and knives for cutting meat, but the slaves of the Hu people have neither bowls nor knives;
The people sitting and eating in the tent are all barbarians with certain status. The general barbarians can only sit at the bonfire outside the tent and cannot enter the tent. As for the slaves, they should stay away from them and cannot enter the tent with their status.
Eat and drink in front of the barbarians;
Hu soldiers can eat two portions of food, while ordinary barbarians can only eat one portion. If they are barbarians who hold important positions, such as scouts or elite guards, they can eat three or four portions;
As for those barbarian nobles, great commanders and the like, they can eat as much as they want;
There is also a place where the barbarians sit. The nobles and leaders sit on furs, while the ordinary barbarians sit on the ground or on rocks. And if they are slaves, there is no place to sit...
…
All kinds of things.
Then Wei Dan looked at Han Guo as if he were a fool, and then stopped talking to Han Guo...
What did I say wrong?
Han Guo couldn't understand.
On the way to Chang'an, I passed a village. The owner of the village learned their identities and hosted a banquet for them. Didn't they also follow the same rules?
The first people sitting in the hall are the host and his guests, and then on the left and right are the important guests, as well as the host's son, followed by people with various statuses. The lower the status, the more outside. As for the ordinary handymen
The farmer or something is just a background...
"Ritual", isn't that what it is?
Han Guo's thoughts were a little confused. It was not until he was approaching Chang'an that these chaotic things were suppressed by the increasingly prosperous scene...
When Han Guo saw a place with many houses and vehicles coming and going like water, he couldn't help but ask: "Is this Chang'an? There are so many people..."
"So that Lang Jun will know that this is Shili Pavilion...it is still ten miles away from Chang'an..." the good-tempered postman replied with a smile, and then hurried to the official residence nearby to exchange documents. After returning, he still
He said with a smile, "Two gentlemen, from now on it is no longer the pawn's responsibility. Someone will come to take over later... You two, well, it's better to wait here for a while and don't wander around..."
Han Guo looked around, feeling that everything was strange and strange.
Not long after, I heard someone shouting "Zuan Xin" from a distance. Suddenly, some people on the street were like birds and beasts, either turning into the houses or running away from a distance...
"What's coming?"
Han Guo turned around and looked, and saw a group of people slowly coming forward. When they got to the post station and got off their horses, one of the guards came forward, raised his head slightly and shouted, "Where are the people from Longxi?"
The old man at the inn station hurriedly stepped forward and said, "The small thing is...here is the supply list, please check it...there are two more people..."
The guard glanced at Han Guo and Wei Dan who were standing aside, then gave a slight gesture with his hand, then took the list and went back to report. Not long after, the middle-aged scribe in charge came over, met Han Guo and Wei Dan, and said
: "A certain person is the minister of the General's Mansion, Xin Pi Xin..."
After Xinpi joined Fei Qian, he got such a position. Although it was not a very valuable official position, the important thing was that he could often see Fei Qian, who was regarded as a direct staff member. For Xinpi personally, it was naturally considered a relative
Satisfied. Because Xinpi understood Fei Qian’s thoughts on the management of rangers and libertines in Guanzhong, Fei Qian simply asked Xinpi to take charge of this matter. And Xinpi also wanted to show off, plus he was a
People from Yingchuan have no friendship with these characters in Guanzhong. Naturally, they are unselfish. They catch, kill and punish. Although they have achieved the effect Fei Qian wanted, Xinpi himself is called "罴" by others.
"Heart", if you pronounce its name backwards, the meaning is quite obvious.
Xinpi didn't care, because he knew that only by doing this could he gain the respect of the hussar general. Otherwise, what would he do if he was a good man?
Xin Pi's intention was to let Han Guo and Wei Dan freshen up and rest here for the time being before entering Chang'an City tomorrow. Of course Wei Dan was ready, but Han Guo heard that General Hussar was in Chang'an, and it was only about ten miles away.
On the way, he said that if possible, he would like to see the Cavalry General today...
Xin Pi was a little unhappy at first, but after seeing what Han Guo brought out, he changed his mind and sent someone to report to the Hussar General's Mansion first, and then took Han Guo to the General's Mansion.
Wei Dan's eyes widened when he looked at what Han Guo had brought out. He didn't realize it until Xin Pi took Han Guo away for a long time. He quickly asked someone to report the news to his family first. Then he couldn't help but regretted, "I never thought that this would happen."
He is actually a prince..."
That's right, what Han Guo took out was the seal of a certain prince.
Although the seal and ribbon system of the Han Dynasty did not have many advanced anti-counterfeiting functions, generally speaking, most people did not dare to counterfeit such things, so Xin Pi also believed that Han Guo did not have the courage to fool him with fake things...
It’s just that the seal of this prince is that of Xin Fenghou!
Xin Pi watched Han Guo walk into the General's Mansion, and Huang Xu's men took over. He suddenly felt a little emotional and was in a daze for a while, then shook his head and left.
In the lobby of the General's Mansion, Fei Qian was rubbing the seal ribbon and looking at the four seal characters "Xinfenghou Seal" on the bottom of the seal, he couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
"Xin Fenghou...do you have anything to say?" Fei Qian asked. The new Fenghou he was talking about was naturally not the Han Guo who worshiped him, but Han Guo's adoptive father, Han Sui, or Han Guo.
about.
Han Guo kowtowed and said, "Father, he said that his original idea was just to stand up for the poor people in Xiliang, speak out, and change the poverty that Xiliang has always had... But he said that he did not expect that he would later
, even he himself had forgotten his original wish... He said that in order to obtain this Marquis, he lost his children, relatives, friends, and everything around him, leaving only this one...
...A dead thing... He said he didn't want to take this... to the ground..."
Fei Qian was silent.
Han Yue, who was once famous in Xiliang and traveled all over the country, finally put down the seal in his hand and his lifelong obsession before he died, perhaps with regret, perhaps with sadness, perhaps with relief...
"What about you? Do you want this?" Fei Qian asked.
Han Guo kowtowed again and said: "No... I, I just want to learn some skills from the general... My father once said, eat as much food as you want. If you eat what you shouldn't eat, your belly will be broken... Also,
What my father has not done, I... I want to do for him... I beg the general to teach him the ways of civil administration..."
Fei Qian nodded slightly, "In this case, you will stay in the general's residence for now...see more, ask more, and learn more..."
Fei Qian watched Han Yue walk down the hall and followed the guards to the outer courtyard. He couldn't help but sigh softly: "The yellow bird stops at the thorn..." The death of Han Yue also seemed to mean that the entire era of turmoil in Xiliang had finally come to an end.
It has come to an end, but it has really paid a lot for the great men who were buried by Dong Zhuo, Han Sui, Li Guo and other generations.
Life is like a journey. If you see something good on the way, you will fish it into your arms, take some from the left, and take a little from the right. Later, in addition to the more and more you carry, maybe even when you first start on the road,
My original wish has been forgotten...
"A Korean date..." Fei Qian looked at Xinfeng Houyin, "Are you here to remind me not to forget my original wish..."
