One person is in charge of a mule carrying tribute. In this way, we have a total of twenty people on the road.
One person rides a mule, plus four mules, cookware and household items.
Including the twelve mules carrying the tribute, there are 36 mules in total.
In this way, we went to see the Emperor of Tang Dynasty this time, there were a total of 20 people and 36 mules. "
Because mules are the offspring of male donkeys and mares, they have stronger endurance than horses and adapt to mountain walking.
In addition, the mule can't breed offspring, so there is no trouble of pregnancy affecting the use.
Therefore, the Wuman people are used to using mules.
[Explanation, the riding and workhorses mentioned above are all riding mules and workhorses. The horse I will write about later is also a mule. 】
Originally, one person can drive four pack mules on the road. Four pack mules for one hand. The pack mule rider walked all the way.
Twelve pack mules are three-handed and only need three to drive. There is also a mule carrying food, cooking utensils and supplies.
Moreover, the mule driver is not equipped to ride a mule.
The journey to Chang'an this time is a long way. To be on the safe side, Zhaoyuan made such an arrangement specially.
Of course, everyone brought their own weapons. There are crossbows, knives, and three-section sticks. There are also hammers, axes, and maces.
The long weapons are placed in the pannier, which is convenient for extraction.
In addition to the waist knife, Zhaoyuan also has an unknown red bellyband, magic whisk and magic mirror.
This is the first time that Zhaoyuan has brought the magic whisk and magic mirror to him.
He used to wander around in Wuman territory, and felt that these two treasures were of no use.
Now, if you want to stay away from Wuman and go to the unknown Chang'an, you have to take these two treasures with you.
Zhaocheng from the right: "The emperor's edict went to see the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, it is a great event for me to break the sky.
When you arrive in Chang'an, no matter how long you wait, you must meet the Emperor of Tang Dynasty. "
"Yes, I must see Emperor Datang."
The look of expectation in the civil and military classes is vivid, and Zhaoyuan knows the significance of this trip.
After preparing to stop, Grand Bi Mocainuo chose an auspicious day for traveling.
For the sake of confidentiality, the head mule and the second mule are not dressed up. However, all the necessary things are brought together.
Zhaozhu’s Mansion did not hold a farewell ceremony for Zhaoyuan’s trip.
It's just that the two classes of civil and military squads and Zhaoyuan succumbed to Zhaoyuan.
Zhaoyuan led a team of thirty-six mules and set off hopefully.
After walking for a few days, I got farther and farther away from the sample preparation.
They were walking on the mountain roads of the lofty mountains, the woods covering the sky and the sun, and the gloomy sky, they were out of time.
Since leaving the site of the edict, Zhaoyuan has not forgotten to run Zhou Tiangong.
From time to time, he captures images and sounds as far as possible to make correct judgments.
Came to a relatively flat place, and a small mountain stream.
According to the source, stopped.
Lao Zheng: "Lord Zhao, go over a mountain beam and down to the foot of the slope, and there is an inn called Fulai."
Shou Rui: "That's right, we also stayed at Fulai Inn last time. Don't open the lights here, let's go."
Kailiang is the camping of the caravan.
Zhaoyuan: "Don't say it, it will be bright here tonight."
When the emperor speaks, it is hard for others to say anything. Had to lift the pigeons down and arrange them next to each other.
The mule relieved its burden and rolled on the ground to relieve its fatigue. After rolling enough, he got up and shook off the dust and hawthorn from his body.
Each went to one side to find grass to eat.
Everyone finds something to do.
Dig the stove and pot, find wood to make a fire, take water and make noodles, pull the tent, fix the hoof and nail the palms, and greet the mules.
In short, what should be done is done in an orderly manner without any support.
Zhaoyuan walked around and observed the surrounding environment.
Shourui: "Zhao, the fragrant tea is ready."
Zhaoyuan agreed to come to the fire pond and sit on a prepared rock.
Shourui held a bowl of tea in both hands, Zhaoyuan took it, and sipped it while blowing.
