Standing in front of Mingde Gate, among the bustling crowd, looking up at the majestic and towering city walls, Zhang Changan had thousands of words in his chest, but he didn't know what to say. He held back for a while, and finally squeezed out a few words: "It's really big, it's so tall!"
Chu Zheng next to him laughed out loud, and sarcastically said, "If your grandfather knew, you would express a few words of emotion when you saw the city of Chang'an that he was tied to day and night, not to mention whether you would He was so angry that he vomited blood, he probably regretted giving you the word 'Chang'an'."
Zhang Changan glanced at him, and said in disbelief: "What do you know, this is called the sound of the voice, and the elephant has no form. Only the most simple and straightforward language can express our perception properly and make people feel the same way!"
"I just admire your ability to talk nonsense." Chu Zheng sneered, "It's only at this time that you have the literary talents of a rich man."
The two talked and chattered without stopping, and walked into the city gate all the way. Only in this way can they hide their ups and downs and not feel like country people.
In comparison, Peng Zushan, who was walking behind, was much more sincere. When I look around, I am full of admiration and yearning, and from time to time I express emotions like "really big and really tall", without concealing my nature as a turkey.
The feedback from such words and deeds is that the people around Chang'an all looked at the bumpkins with a sense of superiority. When looking at him, the eyes can't wait to grow on the forehead. Some women would mutter disdainfully, "Where did you come from the mountain boy, it's really unlucky."
This made Chu Zheng and Zhang Chang'an, who kept their eyes on and kept talking, deliberately distanced themselves from Peng Zushan. Act like we don't know him, and we don't know him all the way, so as not to lose face.
After the Yangguan battle last winter, Zhang Changan and Chu Zheng followed Li Xian and endured hardships at the border for half a year. Every day is not practice, is to learn military affairs, and occasionally observe the new type of magic weapon refined by Peng Zushan.
Originally, this kind of life lasted for two or three years, and it would never end, and only in this way, Li Xian's tempering of the two of them was considered complete. Unexpectedly, the news of the establishment of Chang'an Practice Academy came.
Before Zhang Changan and Chu Zheng rushed to Yangguan, they were in the middle stage of Qi training. After the experience of the Yangguan battle and more than half a year of precipitation, plus Li Xian's duntun teachings, and Nangong Yi's reminders from time to time , the cultivation base has reached the high level of Qi training.
Zhang Chang'an and Chu Zheng, who also possessed good military achievements, were recruited by the Great Cultivator Branch of Chang'an Cultivation Academy. As the first batch of real-world reserve forces trained by the dynasty, their future can be imagined.
As for Peng Zushan, he did not come to study, but to enter the craftsman branch as a teacher.
His magic weapon bed crossbow has been improved so far, its power has not been greatly improved, but its stability has undergone a qualitative change. It has been able to launch continuously for three hours without worrying about collapse. After every three hours of use, it only needs to be relaxed for half an hour before it can continue to be used.
There are currently 20 of such magical bed crossbows equipped in the Guiyi Army.
Moreover, the court craftsman also got the blueprint early, and was busy making it day and night. According to Li Ye's plan, this year there will be two hundred magic bed crossbows equipped in the army.
In fact, at the beginning, Peng Zushan didn't want to come to Chang'an. Being a teacher in the academy didn't appeal to him.
It wasn't until Li Ye promised him that as long as he was a teacher at Chang'an Cultivation Academy, he would set off without hesitation after the master craftsman would provide any magic weapon materials he wanted for research in the future.
After entering the city gate, Zhang Changan and Chu Zheng both stopped.
He had been pretending not to care, but at this moment he couldn't hold back anymore, and the muscles in his cheeks twitched.
Seeing that they were not leaving, Peng Zushan put his head on their shoulders, and when he saw the scene in front of him, he immediately exclaimed, "It's so wide and long!"
The wide Suzaku Avenue makes people walking on it like rice grains. And at a glance, you can see the majestic Imperial City Gate at the end of the long street! This kind of shock is indeed not something that a few country boys can ignore.
At this moment, the three riders came galloping from Suzaku Street, their speed was like lightning, and they came straight in front of Zhang Chang'an and the others!
Seeing that they were about to be crushed by the horse's hooves, the rider on the horse was a few steps away in front of them, and suddenly reined in the reins. The horseman stood up and neighed loudly, causing pedestrians on the street to stare angrily.
Horses are not allowed on Suzaku Street, this is an iron law.
But when someone recognized that these three cavalry were the Spike Army of the Chang'an Forbidden Army, no one dared to express their opinions.
Wuhou's shop is full of streets, and no one will dare to arrest the Wolf Fang Army. Anyway, if something really happened to the other party, there will be people above who will be held accountable.
"Are you from Yangguan?" the leading cavalry asked coldly.
Zhang Chang'an and Chu Zheng immediately held their heads high, even if they were facing someone who could ride a horse in the street, they still had to show the integrity of Yangguan soldiers, "Yes."
"Come back to camp with us!" The rider immediately smiled sincerely.
Zhang Chang'an and Chu Zheng were startled at the same time, and when they saw each other smile, they realized that the mighty general at the head was actually a woman.
"Why did we go with you? We came to Chang'an Practice Academy." Zhang Chang'an was bold and showed his backbone. After all, he had the most prominent family background among the three, so he felt that he had to stand out at this time in order not to lose his prestige.
The smile on Zhao Nianci's face disappeared again, "Is there anyone who would refuse the invitation from the Spike Army?"
"Spike Army?"
Hearing these three words, the three of them were all startled. That is the most elite trilogy under King An's command. They are invincible in all battles, and they have already earned a great reputation. May I ask which hot-blooded man doesn't admire such an army
It is a great honor to be invited as a guest by the other party now. Zhang Changan and Chu Zheng glanced at each other, seeing the excitement in each other's eyes, and immediately nodded hurriedly, "We'll go to the barracks with you!"
"No, I only want one person." Zhao Nianci stretched out a finger.
"A person?" Zhang Changan thought for a while, and felt that this person must be him. After all, his family is prominent and made great contributions in the battle of Jincheng County, and his grandfather even had a banquet with King An.
Chu Zheng also felt that this person was himself. It must be me, my master is a member of the Bailu Cave, and has a deep relationship with the two generations of King An, who doesn't know that Bailu Cave is full of outstanding people? The Spike Army is trying to recruit themselves into the gang!
"I'll go with you!" Zhang Changan and Chu Zheng said at the same time.
They looked at each other again. It's just that this time, the two brothers have war in their eyes, and neither of them thinks they are worse than the other.
"Are you all Peng Zushan?" Zhao Nianci asked strangely.
Zhang Changan and Chu Zheng were stunned together, "Peng Zushan?"
Zhao Nianci looked behind the two of them, who was as strong and dark as an iron tower, "It seems that you are Peng Zushan."
Peng Zushan looked confused: "I am Peng Zushan, but why should I go to your barracks?"
Zhao Nianci smiled charmingly, "You will know when you go!"
As he spoke, with a wave of his hand, the two riders behind him dismounted, one on the left and the other on the right. Without any explanation, they lifted Peng Zushan and galloped away. They didn't even ride the horse.
Seeing how quickly they disappeared, they were faster than war horses, they were clearly two high-level qi practitioners!
"Welcome to Chang'an. Two little guys, enjoy the prosperity of Chang'an."
Zhao Nianci cast a teasing wink at the stunned Zhang Changan and Chu Zheng, turned the horse's head, led the other two horses, and quickly disappeared from sight.
"How is this going?"
"Why is it the rock of Mount Pengzu?"
Zhang Changan and Chu Zheng felt extremely puzzled and aggrieved.
When the two of them finally came back to their senses, they no longer had the vigor and vigor of entering Chang'an for the first time, and walked towards Chang'an Practice College listlessly while asking for directions.
At this time, a fierce quarrel was going on in the meeting hall in Prince An's mansion.
It was a group of generals who were arguing, one blushing and thicker than the other, looking at their beards and hair, they looked as if they wanted to roll up their sleeves and start fighting. The noise was so loud that there was a tendency to lift the roof.
At the beginning of spring this year, the Chang'an Forbidden Army had 300,000 soldiers, and it had three armies under its jurisdiction: the Dragon Army, the Tiger Guard Army, and the Spike Army. Now it's autumn, because of the continuous editing, the number of forbidden troops has expanded to 500,000, and the two new armies are: Habayashi and Changning.
Now, the chief generals and deputy generals of the five armies are all in the meeting hall.
In the beginning, several lieutenants were still arguing, and then the argument turned into a quarrel. They are all veterans in the army, and no one would lose to anyone in terms of momentum, so the voices are getting louder than the other.
If you dare to stand up, I dare to rush into the hall, if you rush into the hall, I dare to hit you with my chest muscles, if you dare to face my chest, I dare to spit on your face.
The main generals couldn't stand it anymore, for fear that their lieutenant generals couldn't hold back and started fighting in the meeting hall.
Although everyone's weapons were handed over to the sect when they entered Prince An's Mansion, they were all powerful generals after all, and even with a swing of their fists, they could bleed out a mouthful of blood.
Even if King An hasn't come yet, but to be presumptuous in Prince An's mansion is definitely underestimating the strictness of King An's military discipline.
The main generals went into battle, originally wanting to pull back their own generals, but soon felt that the opponent's face was really hideous, and he was really too arrogant, and couldn't control his hot temper, so he scolded the opponent a few times.
Unexpectedly, the opposing general, seeing his deputy being reprimanded by others, would never be able to sit still, and immediately stood up for his own people.
In the end, only Zhao Bingkun, Zhao Polu and Shangguan Qingcheng were still sitting in the entire meeting room.
"General Zhao, we are also considered to be in the same family. This time we are fighting for the magic weapon bed crossbow. We still have to advance and retreat together. If we fight alone, it is unlikely that we will win against General Shangguan."
Zhao Bingkun leaned closer to Zhao Polu and said in a low voice.
Zhao Polu nodded his head, deeply convinced: "General Zhao is right, what I said is very agreeable to me. Although I and General Shangguan were in the Pinglu Army, from one moment to another, now we are all Chang'an Forbidden Army , I will not be polite to her."
Zhao Bingkun was overjoyed, and said with a low smile: "With you and me working together, the magic weapon bed crossbow will definitely fall into our hands!"
The two people who reached an agreement felt very satisfied, and while calling each other brothers, they also glanced at Shangguan Qingcheng from time to time.
Contrary to their expectations, from the beginning to the end, Shangguan Qingcheng was drinking tea by himself. Slowly, without pretending to be deep, calm, and without the slightest worry, as if not paying attention to their low-pitched conversation.
While Zhao Bingkun and Zhao Polu were surprised, they looked at each other, and they couldn't understand it.
The function of the magic weapon bed crossbow has been vividly reflected in Yangguan. Nowadays, the craftsmen are rushing to make them day and night, and 200 of them will be released soon, so they naturally become the target of the army's competition.
Naturally, the Fanzhen Army didn't have to think too much, Li Ye wouldn't allocate it unless it was a border pass.
As the central army, the Chang'an Forbidden Army will definitely be able to get most of it, but the Forbidden Army now has five armies and 500,000 people. How to distribute these magical weapons and bed crossbows is a question that all the generals have racked their brains.
After all, Zhao Polu and Shangguan Qingcheng have been friends for a long time. Seeing the other party's attitude of being nothing to do with himself, he couldn't help asking: "General Shangguan, don't you want the magic weapon bed crossbow?"
Shangguan Qingcheng put down the tea bowl and said casually, "Of course."
Zhao Polu was even more surprised: "Then why is General Shangguan so indifferent? Could it be that King An has already promised you a batch?"
Shangguan Qingcheng took a look at Zhao Polu, "Your Highness has always ruled the army with clear rewards and punishments. The military law is like a mountain, and the magic weapon bed crossbow is the most important weapon of the country. How can there be any reason for giving and receiving privately?"
Zhao Bingkun couldn't sit still anymore, and interjected: "Then why don't you see General Shangguan in a hurry? Doesn't the Spike Army want more magic weapon bed crossbows?"
Shangguan Qingcheng picked up the tea bowl and took another sip, "Strength is the most important thing in the army. As the most powerful army in the world, the Spike Army will naturally get more magic weapons and bed crossbows. Why should I quarrel with others?"
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Bingkun and Zhao Polu's expressions turned ugly, Qiqi snorted coldly and said no more.
The Spike Army is the most powerful in the world, but the Longxiang Army and the Tiger Guard Army are ranked second and third
Of course Zhao Bingkun and Zhao Polu were not convinced.
Moreover, the appearance of Shangguan Qingcheng holding the wisdom pearl also made them very uncomfortable. It's as if they have become the turtles in the urn, and they still don't know it.
Not long after, Li Ye arrived at the meeting hall.
The group of warriors who were still blushing just now, the moment Li Ye appeared, they separated very tacitly and consciously. Everyone sat down obediently, watching their noses, noses, noses, and hearts, as if nothing had happened just now, and everyone was a harmonious family.
After Li Ye took his seat, he didn't have any extra words, and went straight to the topic: "The two hundred magic weapon bed crossbows made by the craftsman will be distributed to the army soon. The five armies of Chang'an are the Central Forbidden Army of the Tang Dynasty, and they deserve more Take care. Gu decided to allocate 165 of the 200 magic weapon bed crossbows to the Chang'an Imperial Army."
As soon as this remark came out, all the generals sat upright, knowing that the key point was coming, so they hurriedly listened carefully to the next arrangement.
Only Shangguan Qingcheng, who still looks neither salty nor dull, looks like a famous general on the battlefield who has strategized and won thousands of miles.
This made Zhao Bingkun and Zhao Polu feel a hundred dissatisfaction in their hearts.
Li Ye went on to say: "The five armies of Chang'an, Longxiang, Huwei, and Langya each got thirty-five magic weapon bed crossbows, and Yulin and Changning each got thirty. What do you think? If you have any opinions, please let me know." It can be brought up."
This allocation can be described as very reasonable.
Taking into account fairness, it also highlights the merits to a certain extent. After all, the Dragon Army, the Tiger Guards, and the Spike Army, Chunri went to the middle of Shu. Although the Great War did not start, it was still an expedition of hard work and had a deterrent effect.
The chief and deputy generals of Habayashi and Changning naturally have no objection, they are all very happy now that they can get 30 magic weapon bed crossbows.
But Zhao Polu and Zhao Bingkun were obviously not very satisfied with this allocation. The two of them looked at each other, reconfirmed their alliance, and Zhao Bingkun stood up to speak first.
He said: "Your Highness, assign thirty bed crossbows to each of the two armies of Yulin and Changning. The general has no objection." First of all, I would like to express my support for the number of bed crossbows that Yulin and Changning have obtained. It is good to buy them. Let them then not object to their own rhetoric.
Zhao Bingkun continued: "But the Spike Army is dominated by fine cavalry, and there are very few infantry, and the magic weapon bed crossbow is obviously more suitable for infantry battles, and the fine cavalry that pays attention to speed is rarely used. Therefore, the general thought that the number of magic weapon beds and crossbows of the Spike Army should be reduced."
Li Ye glanced at Zhao Bingkun, noncommittal.
Zhao Polu immediately stood up, cupped his fists and said respectfully: "Your Highness, the last general also thinks what General Zhao said makes sense. I dare not underestimate the combat power of the Spike Army, but the magic weapon bed crossbow is indeed more suitable for the infantry. I believe General Shangguan also agrees with this point. Please His Highness allocate more magic weapon bed crossbows to the Longxiang and Huwei armies."
Li Ye still didn't make a statement.
He turned his head to look at Shangguan Qingcheng, who had calm brows and eyes, and asked with a smile: "General Shangguan, do you agree with the words of the two generals Zhao?"
Contrary to everyone's expectations, Shangguan Qingcheng not only did not refute, but nodded seriously, "What the two generals Zhao said is indeed reasonable. However, my Spike Army also has 30,000 infantry. , to arrange thirty-five bed crossbows, there is never too much in any case."
Speaking of this, just when everyone thought that Shangguan Qingcheng would say that he would not give up the bed crossbow, the corner of Shangguan Qingcheng's mouth twitched, "However, the Chang'an Forbidden Army, after all, is a heavy weapon of the dynasty, and only when the military equipment is optimally rationed can it exert its highest combat power. Your Highness, the Spike Army is willing to distribute five magic weapon bed crossbows."
As soon as this remark came out, everyone felt incredible.
Not to mention the chief and deputy generals of the Yulin and Changning armies, they looked at Shangguan Qingcheng with admiration, expressing their appreciation for her noble integrity. Even the lieutenants of Long Xiang and Hu Wei armies were surprised.
Who is Shangguan Qingcheng? To put it nicely, he is Li Ye's confidant, but to put it bluntly, he is Li Ye's family general.
Li Ye was willing to give her thirty-five bed crossbows. As long as she didn't say anything, it was naturally unlikely that Zhao Polu and Zhao Bingkun would want to change this decision.
But Shangguan Qingcheng took the initiative to give in.
Such generosity cannot but be admired.
Zhao Polu and Zhao Bingkun felt something was wrong at the same time, and they wanted to say something when they opened their mouths, but saw that Shangguan Qingcheng had already taken the lead and said: "Five fights, no more, otherwise I wouldn't be able to explain to my subordinates."
Zhao Polu and Zhao Bingkun could only keep their mouths shut.
It is already very good to be able to get five more bed crossbows.
Although there were not two of them assigned to him, it was impossible for the Spike Army to take out more.
"You two have no objections?" Shangguan Qingcheng asked suddenly.
Zhao Polu and Zhao Bingkun could only say no.
Of course Li Ye knew that this matter would not be easy. Shangguan Qingcheng was domineering and would never let his subordinates suffer—in fact, all generals in the army were like this. There is absolutely a reason for being willing to make concessions today.
Thinking of the report from Qingyi Yamen that Peng Zushan will arrive in Chang'an in a few days, Li Ye guessed eight or nine points.
"This matter has been settled like this, what do you guys think?" Li Ye asked.
"The final general will listen to His Highness's military orders!" Everyone stood up and replied, it was considered that the matter was agreed.
When the generals were seated again, Shangguan Qingcheng got up and clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness, the Spike Army has many elite cavalry, and needs to be equipped with stronger and more flexible crossbows. The last general has already discussed with Peng Zushan, and he is willing to stay in the Spike Army for half a year. It is specially set up to research and make the magical weapon crossbow for the Spike Army.”
As soon as this remark came out, the generals were all stunned.
Zhao Polu and Zhao Bingkun reacted immediately.
Sure enough, the five-bed crossbow is not so easy to get!
They only wanted to compete for the ready-made magic weapon bed crossbow, but Shangguan Qingcheng was so skilled that he even took away everyone! Isn't that what you want
Instinctively, Zhao Polu and Zhao Bingkun wanted to compete for Peng Zushan.
However, with short hands and a soft mouth, Shangguan Qingcheng has already given up five magic weapons, bed crossbows. If they follow Shangguan Qingcheng to snatch Peng Zushan again, they will look too ugly, which is a big taboo.
At this time, Zhao Polu and Peng Zushan finally realized that Shangguan Qingcheng was advancing by retreating, so he bought them with only five bed crossbows, so that they could not compete with him for Peng Zushan!
However, Zhao Bingkun couldn't help but wondered: "General Shangguan, Peng Zushan should have just arrived in Chang'an, why did he agree to be stationed in the camp so quickly and make a magic weapon for your Spike Army?"
Shangguan Qingcheng said neither too much nor lightly: "He has already entered the general's barracks, why can't he not work for the general?"
Zhao Bingkun almost bit his tongue.
This is clearly a strong persecution, and there is no room for Peng Zushan's disapproval!
The key point is that the opponent has already captured Peng Zushan into the barracks, so even if he and Zhao Polu wanted to snatch it, they would have no chance at all!
"This... Peng Zushan is a gentleman invited by His Highness, and His Highness will agree to let him do a half-year job for the Spike Army?" Zhao Polu was not reconciled.
Shangguan Qingcheng clasped his fists to Li Ye: "Your Highness, Peng Zushan's work for our Spike Army will not affect the teaching of the academy. It's just that he needs to return to the barracks after the lecture.
"The general heard that His Highness has promised to give Peng Zushan all the materials he wants. These can be transported to the Spike Army camp. The general will also prepare a special place for him to let him flex his muscles. Two pieces Things do not affect each other, and both can take care of each other, I wonder if His Highness can grant this matter?"
"Sure." Li Ye waved his hand generously. This is indeed no hindrance to him, the Magical Crossbow developed for the Spike Army can also be equipped with other elite cavalry.
Zhao Polu and Zhao Bingkun sat down on their seats, their faces full of despair.
Well, not only did Peng Zushan enter the camp of the Spike Army, but the Spike Army didn't have to bear the cost of the opponent's research and production of the magic weapon!
All the cheap things in this world are taken by Shangguan Qingcheng!
It is conceivable how powerful the already powerful Spike Army will be after Peng Zushan researches and improves the crossbow, a magic weapon suitable for cavalry.
Apart from the Spike Army, who else could have the title of the most sharp in the world
Seeing Zhao Polu and Zhao Bingkun's deflated appearance, Li Yeye found it interesting in his heart, and the eyes of Shangguan Qingcheng became extraordinarily bright.
In view of the general environment, this site may be closed at any time, please move to the permanent source replacement App as soon as possible, huanyuanapp.org
Being able to plot against Zhao Polu and Zhao Bingkun, and let the other party lose nothing, this reflects Shangguan Qingcheng's overwhelming advantage in Wentao and Wushu.
Famous generals.
Shangguan Qingcheng has reached the realm of famous generals!
