In his previous life, Qin Mubai was an avid travel companion. He traveled to famous mountains and rivers to search for historical sites and wonders. He was a hobby of life. At one time, he was full of longing for the remote desert grassland and the rough plateau Gobi, and he also organized travel by traveling with donkey friends more than once. I have been to the plateaus of Tibet and the grasslands of Inner Mongolia.
He once thought that being able to leave a footprint in the Potala Palace and beg for a string of Lama beads was already considered a wish. Only now did he understand that the desert and Gobi of a thousand years ago were the real test. That scenery is what he should have dreamed of.
Thousands of miles of Gobi, boundless; long smoke sunset, magnificent mountains and rivers! Thousands of troops galloped forward, rolling up a hundred feet of yellow sand. The horse riding on the mountain and river soldiers is brilliant, unspeakable desolation and majesty!
There is no shortage of business travelers who come and go along the way, camel bells jingle, full of goods and exhaustion. The wind and sand sculpted their faces, and the **** setting sun reflected their figures on the ancient ruins. No matter how brilliant a painter was, he could not paint such a perfect picture.
This is the existing scene on the Silk Road.
Since I crossed the Weishui River and left Jingzhou, this feeling of desolation and majesty has become more and more obvious. Thousands of miles of desert is sparsely populated, and thousands of soldiers and horses walking in its arms also appear so small.
Huoyun Mazu came from the Western Regions and came to this arid, waterless, windy and sandy place. It seemed that he was more excited when he returned to his hometown, his feet became stronger, and he ran tirelessly all day long.
Qin Mubai understood why Li Shimin was so painstakingly lonely. He wanted to establish the Zhongdu Mansion in Lanzhou, the establishment of the Great Tang Jinglue Loop and the future military base to dominate the Western Regions. The city of Lanzhou is 1,400 miles away from Chang'an. Along the way, it was mostly the Gobi Desert. People are short of water and horses have little material. In the era of cold weapons, the supply of the army is an important factor restricting the combat effectiveness of the army. Otherwise, when Huo Qubing went deep into the desert to fetch food and the enemy attacked thousands of miles, it would not become a myth in the history of war.
On this trip, Qin Mubai brought 10,000 steps to ride, and the horse penetration rate even exceeded 100%. However, the average marching speed is less than one hundred miles a day. The reason is that the speed of the follow-up supply team is too slow. However, the army could not leave behind more than 10,000 civilians and more than 8,000 carts of food and grass, and go hungry. Hungry is still a trivial matter, there is really no way to kill horses and get meat. But if there is no water in the army, chaos is bound to occur.
Three or five days after entering the desert, Qin Mubai no longer feels the romance of this smoky sunset desert. On the contrary, this is an arduous trek. During the day, it is dry and windy and the sand is violent, and the cold and dripping water can turn into ice at night. What is even more difficult is that after nightfall, when facing the endless darkness of the world, the thoughts of hometown and family arose in my heart.
Why should the Qiang flute blame the willows, the spring breeze does not cross Yumen Pass.
Take a song to fill the hearts of these soldiers. When we arrive at the frontier fortress, we will face a ruthless war, and the poor riverside bones are like a spring boudoir. With these ten thousand soldiers, how many people are burdened? They can only bury these in their hearts like Qin Mubai, straighten their spine and pick up knives and guns, and go to the **** battlefield to write their chapters.
The endless wind of frontier fortress has witnessed the life and death of many passionate men. Here, the only thing they can enjoy is the only thing here-iron and blood romance!
On the seventeenth day of the march, Qin Mubai lost a circle and became darker. The gorgeous robe armor has been baptized by the raging yellow sand and cold west wind, and it has become half-old.
However, people are more energetic. War horses, spears, and ancient tall towers in the setting sun are all elongated figures. The tumbling flags were hunting and hunting, and Qin Shubao rode out on his horse to welcome him.
Father welcomes son, it is rare in ancient times.
All the soldiers of the three armies dismounted, Qin Mubai strode forward and bowed on one knee, and said loudly: "Final Qin Mubai, see the general!"
Ten Thousand Chino-"Meet the General"!
The sound of a neat suit of armor shook the clouds.
"Get up!"
Qin Shubao grabbed his son's wrist with one hand and patted his shoulders again.
Qin Mubai got up and smiled at his father: "Father handsome, here I am!"
"Good!"
Qin Shubao stared at Qin Mubai for a few times, then looked at the teacher of 10,000 tigers and wolves behind him, and laughed loudly: "From then on, Lanzhou is the home! All the soldiers, follow the old man into the city!"
"Nuo——"
No courtesy, no greetings. Qin Shubao grabbed Qin Mubai's wrist with one hand, laughed loudly, and strode forward.
The shirt and gray beard flew together, and he, a man destined to belong to the battlefield, finally had a son to fight alongside him. The joy in his heart at this time was unobstructed from his old and unrestrained laughter.
The soldiers of the three armies reorganized their formation and entered the city in turn.
The frontier fortresses are different from the inland states and counties. Soldiers and horses are stationed in the city. Prior to this, brothers Xue Wanche and Xue Wanche led thousands of soldiers and horses to come. Qin Shubao transferred one of his soldiers and horses to the main place facing Dafeichuan-Shancheng; the other way, he went to Liangzhou, a stronghold of the military. Each of the three military towns has become a horn, forming an unbreakable iron triangle, which has conquered the territory of the Datang Hetao as a golden soup!
After entering the city, more than 10,000 soldiers and horses were stationed in various military garrisons in the city with Zhechong Mansion as a unit. In the land of Lanzhou, wars are still frequent. The local people are accustomed to it, but with arrows flowing above their heads like rain, they still have fun. However, the arrival of the king's master is like a festive celebration.
At this time, the people in the city spontaneously organized a number of comfort troops to welcome the new soldiers. Tan tea, water, and supplies, chickens, ducks, and soldiers. The warm tea, rice and bath soup, for soldiers like ascetics who have more than half a month of marching, are simply sending charcoal in the snow!
The land of the frontier fortress, military and civilian fish and water, worthy of the name.
After Qin Mubai entered the city, he was "caught" by his father and went up to the west tower. The father and son neither humbled or babbled. Qin Shubao held a sword in one hand and pointed a finger to the boundless land of yellow sand ahead, shouting: "Sanlang, look!"
"The boy only sees a vast expanse." Qin Mubai replied.
Qin Shubao laughed loudly: "Wrong!"
"What did the handsome father see?" Qin Mubai couldn't help but asked curiously.
"Great rivers and mountains!" Qin Shubao stared into the distance, his gray beard was blown high, and the expression on his face was worthy of the word "affectionate."
After a while, he said with his unique vigorous and majestic voice: "This is the place where I wait for the martial artist to ride!"
Qin Mubai trembled suddenly.
Father's words seem to be magical.
It was so easy, it made him excited!
"After all, there is the same blood flowing in my veins as my father! We belong to this Guanhe, this battlefield!"
Qin Shubao has always been stingy with words, not to mention a talented poet. But every word of his words is like the blood of God of War rushing in his veins, full of passion and heroism!
On the Gobi Silk Road, Lanzhou stands alone and proudly like a pearl. Lanzhou’s army and Lanzhou’s folk customs are just like Qin Shubao’s feelings and personality. Simple, vigorous, powerful, domineering!
Less than an hour after arriving here, Qin Mubai actually fell in love with it. Although there is no prosperity and prosperity of Chang'an, there is no exquisiteness and elegance of Xiangyang. But he felt that this place always gave him an inexplicable intimacy, and it could also inspire the blood and passion buried deep in his heart.
It seems that I was born here!
In the evening, Qin Shubao hosted a banquet in the Chinese Army's garrison in the city to meet the newcomers.
The raging bonfire, the big iron pot for cooking lamb; the rough earthenware bowl, the amber-colored old wine three-leaf pulp. Everyone lifted their shoulders to their shoulders, and the drink was stirred, and they drank "dry"!
Only a gurgling sound was heard, everyone's bowl turned upside down, and then laughed loudly!
Silver knife cuts the meat, tears and chews without gentleness; sit on the floor and enjoy the Huxuan dance of the local people. The colorful hair **** and the simple singing are flying together, accompanied by the skyrocketing horns and rumbling snare drums. .
This is the frontier!
In the words of Yuwen Hongtai-"This place is so **** fun! Meat is to eat in large pieces; wine is to drink from a big bowl! After the battle, I just help you cut people and cut people. Go down the horses and horses, get drenched in blood, come back and continue to have a big piece of meat and a big bowl of wine!"
For the first time, Qin Mubai felt that his literary talent was not as good as Yuwen Hongtai. These words of him are simply the best portrayal of the demeanor in front of him, and there is nothing more apt.
The wine was half full, and many soldiers got up and danced with the people. Whether Han dance or Hu dance, intertwined together, don't be a landscape.
This is more attractive than the charming dances of maikos above the palace.
The meat is dry and the wine is dry, and the banquet seems to be over.
At this time, I don't know who played the flute. The melodious flute sound came lightly in the quiet night sky, far away, like a fairy sound in the sky.
The tune is nameless, but there is no sense of sadness and desolation. It evoked the homesickness of many soldiers, coupled with the stimulating effect of the drink, there were many hot-blooded men who would rather shed blood than weep, wiping tears to themselves.
"Our romance, they don't understand!" Qin Mubai smiled. He enjoys this feeling. It's fun and romantic to get along with such people day and night!
"Father, do you have a pipa?" Qin Mubai asked.
"Yes!" Qin Shubao smiled, "Lanzhou, can Linzhou have no pipa?"
After a while, the song "Resurrection of the Overlord" was sonorous and melodious.
The soldiers and civilians of Lanzhou who were already intoxicated, heard the shock of the pipa and moved for nine days!
Qin Mubai felt that this was the most brilliant, devoted, and emotional time he played in his two lifetimes!
In front of me, there seemed to be thousands of troops coming in their dreams. The night wind roared past, the yellow sand rolled and the soldiers collided, and the blood and passion were flying. When the clamor is settled, the romantic feelings of the iron-blooded man are sent to the hometown thousands of miles away by the night breeze to share the thoughts with his relatives.
"Good wind, good song, good pipa!" That was all, some people praised it.
Qin Mubai was about to get drunk, he laughed loudly and said: "Good Lanzhou, good man, great rivers and mountains!"
Qin Shubao stroked his gray beard, nodded and chuckled lightly, and waved his hand: "Smelly boy, he still has such a drink, the one who lost me—come on, carry him away! Everyone! Good wine, good meat They all moved in. Today, if you are not drunk, you are not allowed to drink meat for half a month-this is a military order!"
"Nuo——"
