Chapter 976: Xiaolong goes to sea

Chapter 976 Little Dragon Going to Sea

Golden September.

Qinghai Lake, one step at a time, is so beautiful that it makes people ecstatic. It is the first time that the crown prince Chengqian has left Chang'an for such a long time.

The next step is the descendant of the hard-blooded BMW that was paid tribute by Kang Guo, one of the nine kingdoms of Zhaowu in the Western Regions in the early days of Wude. He has a purebred Dawan BMW bloodline, tall and mighty, riding on such a tall horse, looking at the Qilian Mountains in the distance, Chengqian laughed happily all the way.

The sky is blue and clear, surrounded by snow-capped mountains.

Yunbin rounds the Bolinli mountain stream, goshawks fly across the sky, and flocks of sheep graze leisurely on the grassland, like clouds in the sky scattered across the world.

Leaving the cage in Chang'an, he was finally able to fly freely like a bird out of the cage.

Chengqian rode a Dawan BMW, and specially changed into the Xianbei costumes of the Tuyuhun royal family. He even broke up the bun and wore it in small braids all over his head. He also made big gold rings to hang on his ears. A necklace made of several strings of jade and animal bones is hung around the neck.

The silk on her body was also replaced by a leather robe.

Waving a horsewhip in his hand, he gallops on the grassland, not to mention how comfortable he is.

In September, Chengqian slipped out of Chang'an and ran all the way to Qinghai, where he found Hou Junji's Huangshui Lintao military city in Shanzhou. After the initial excitement and worries, a paper from Luoyang was delivered, and Chengqian was finally completely relieved. tone.

The emperor did not send someone to bring him back to Chang'an or Luoyang, but instead gave him the title of Consolation Ambassador, allowing him to stay in Qinghai in a legitimate way, and even helped him cover up his sneaking out of Chang'an.

Hou Junji was both surprised and a little apprehensive about his arrival.

However, after receiving Luoyang's decree, Hou Junji's attitude also changed drastically. Chengqian urged troops to attack Murongcheng and **** Nuohebo back.

He also wanted to see the beautiful West Sea, and even wanted to go to the Dragon Island in the lake to see the Qinghai Dragon Colts on the island. He had also heard from Qin Lang that Qinghai Lake had a delicious special product, Huangyu.

Every spring and summer, the fishing fish in Qinghai Lake swim back into the rivers of the lake, and even the spectacular south side of the river beach is full of dense Huangyu, and there are gazelle, wild antelope, Wild donkeys and more.

Beat yellow sheep with a stick and scoop fish with a ladle.

When Qin Lang told him this, he was about ten years old at that time, and the relationship between the two was the closest. At that time, he admired the young Qin Sanlang very much, and felt that he was his idol. He is trusted like a father and brother.

But now that guy has betrayed his trust. As soon as he saw that he fell out of favor, he directly took off his job in the Eastern Palace and went to Lingnan, thinking only about the one-acre three-point land he was entrusted with all day long.

Although Qin Lang has not passed the age, but he is old. This guy no longer has the vigor of the past.

It's a pity that it's not the season now. Huangyu has not yet come to the season of migration, and they are all in Qinghai Lake at this time. As soon as he arrived at Lintao Military City, Chengqian mentioned to Hou Junji that he wanted to eat Huangyu, but Hou Junji immediately sent Qingqi to gallop for hundreds of miles, and went to Qinghai Lake, which was under Murong Cheng's control, to catch fresh Huangyu. fish.

The taste is really good.

But Chengqian would like to go boating on Qinghai Lake and cast a net, or go fishing with a pole, catch a few Huangyu himself, and then set up an earthen stove, put an iron pot on the island in the middle of the lake, collect firewood and make a fire, Cook up a pot of delicious fish stew.

The most delicious fish in his memory seems to be a pot of fresh fish that Qin Lang took him to Zhongnan Mountain in the Qinling Mountains and stewed in a pot. The taste is unforgettable to this day. The soup is fresh.

I have never eaten such a delicious fish since then.

Qin Lang is really good at cooking. He has the ability to turn decay into magic. Any ordinary material in his hands can always make delicious dishes, even some wild vegetables, weeds, and insects. Chengqian has become a delicacy, which Chengqian still admires very much.

Maybe I can think about it, after I inherit the great treasure in the future and sit in the Tang Dynasty, I can ask Qin Lang to cook for myself?

Thinking about how Qin Lang will hold the title of Taiwei or Taibao, and cook for himself every day as a prime minister under the same Zhongshu family, it will be very happy to think about it.

In the distance, the horn sounded.

That was the team led by Hou Junji. These soldiers mainly came from Longyou and Hexi, equipped with dazzling Mingguang armor with a large round guard, and held high the bright red flag of the Tang Dynasty.

These sturdy and strong soldiers of Guanlong rode horses and lined up neatly.

The team lined up in a long line, connecting end to end for more than 20 miles. The front army was light cavalry scouts, followed by infantry, and then the central army's supply troops, followed by infantry, and then cavalry on the two wings.

Every time they march for a period of time, the army must stop to rest and organize the team.

Chengqian was acting with the Chinese army. Hou Junji originally wanted him to stay in Lintao Military City, and even wanted him to retreat to Liangzhou, Lanzhou, or Qinzhou, but he managed to escape. How could he retreat to rear.

He rejected Hou Junji's arrangement and insisted on accompanying the army.

Walking with soldiers and horses, Chengqian was restless, always riding around with his attendants, the army was seriously marching, camping, and sleeping, but he was always galloping, hunting and playing.

He used to set up a Turkic camp in Zhongnan Mountain with the Luben army of the Eastern Palace, where he simulated the nomadic life of the Turkic tribes, set up many felt tents, raised many cattle and sheep, and let people milk them. Herding sheep and beating cheese, even cutting wool, spinning wool, weaving felt, drying cow dung, etc.

But after all, it’s just a play house in a valley, how can it be as real as it is now.

They traveled along the Huangshui River Valley, heading west from Lintao Army City in Huangshui, Shanzhou, passing through several Longyou Army towns, Lintao Army, Heyuan Army, Xuanwei Army, and Anren Army along the way.

The destination of their trip is the Shenwei Military City in Niu Xindui.

Not long ago, Murong Cheng, who went north from Heyuan in the southwest of Qinghai, entered the city of King Fuqi, and then divided his troops into four groups to attack the Tang army garrisons around Qinghai Lake, trying to pull out these nails.

Murong Cheng and his newly conferred prime minister Xuan Wang personally led the army to attack the Shenwei army.

Niuxindui was the place where Qin Lang led his army to break through Tuyuhun when Qin Lang was in Longyou. After Qin Lang killed Fu Yun, the imperial court almost cut off all the Tuyuhun land 300 miles east of Fuqi City into Datu , and entrusted twelve clan heroes at one time.

Among them, the Niuxindui area was granted by the emperor to Changsun Wuji as the world fief, and named Haiyan Prefecture.

The court later moved the Shenwei Army to Haiyan, stationed in Niuxindui, guarding the northeast corner of Qinghai Lake, which also became the west gate of Shanzhou.

At the beginning, Qin Lang set up nine towns in Longyou to destroy Tuyuhun. Now, there are more than nine armies, and only Shanzhou and its west have successively set up eight armies.

Chengqian and the others came all the way this time, and all the armies that passed by sent troops to join, and the Zhenwu Army, Baishui Army, and Weirong Army that had not passed also sent troops to join.

The territories of the four vassals Changsun Wuji, Gao Shilian, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui in the west also sent united troops. Many young and strong, as the assistant.

So all the way west, the team is getting bigger and bigger.

It was the first time for Chengqian to personally participate in such a military operation. Looking at the endless army, he felt extremely excited.

Compared with Chengqian's excitement, Murong Nuohebo, who was younger than Chengqian, was a little unhappy all the way. This Chengqian is also an old acquaintance. He was summoned by Li Shimin to be raised in the palace in his early years. Murong Shun handed over the hostages and raised them for three years, so he was acquainted with Cheng Qian and the others. In the past few years in Chang'an, he also served as the prince's companion every day.

Later, Murong Shun requested to take him back and stay with him in Fucheng, but his father was also dissatisfied both inside and outside Tuyuhun. Murong Shun's mother was a princess of the Sui Dynasty, half of Han family blood. And he was born of a Sui Dynasty clan girl whom Murong Shun married in the Sui Dynasty, so he is also of mixed blood.

Although he didn’t stay in the Central Plains for a long time, he speaks Chinese well. After all, his mother is Han, his grandmother is also Han, and his father has been a hostage in Han for more than ten years.

He is more adapted to the life of the Han people, rather than the life on the Tuyuhun grassland.

During the mutiny in Fucheng City, he was taken away by his grandmother and mother, and under the loyal guards, he fled all the way into the Tang Dynasty.

He doesn't want to go back to Fucheng this time, he wants to go to Chang'an or Luoyang, and stay away from those fights and killings. It would be nice to be a rich and idle person in Chang'an or Luoyang, and enjoy the peaceful world there, he doesn't want to be anything What is the Tuyuhun Khan, the king of Heyuan County?

Before departure, he asked Chengqian to stay in the Lintao Army for a while, the reason being to take care of his grandmother and mother. But Chengqian didn't want to stay, so he insisted on letting him go, and even asked him to bring the old Sui Dynasty princess and his frightened mother along with him.

Huangshui is a good river.

In Longyou, to the east of Qinghai Lake, the Yellow River and the Huangshui meander, bringing about six hundred miles of fertile valleys. These fertile valleys are interspersed with mountains and rivers, suitable for farming and animal husbandry.

This not-so-large narrow river valley is like a jade belt left in the world.

The Hehuang Valley, which is more than 600 miles away, now has more than 100,000 Han immigrants from various places, and there are tens of thousands of Turkic, Tiele, Xianbei, Dangxiang, etc., living together in various ethnic groups. One after another immigrant settlements were established, and one brand new city after another was built.

A wide and flat avenue was built along the river valley, along which there was a post station every twenty miles. On the mountains around the river valley, there were beacon towers watching and guarding from a distance.

After Qin Lang defeated Tuyuhun, the Tang Dynasty expanded westward for three hundred miles, and this piece of Hehuang Valley was no longer the frontier frontier. With the army guarding from the west, this area was still Tuyuhun a few years ago. The land where people graze horses has now become the Rice Grain River and a famous trade route.

Chengqian marched here, and truly felt the power of Datang.

Whether it is Turkic people, Xianbei people, Tiele people, Dangxiang people, Bailan people, etc., these people used to live in other places, but in the end they were all conquered by the Tang Dynasty, and then moved here, and lived under the rules of the Tang Dynasty. ,live in harmony.

They began to wear Han clothes, speak Han language, and use Tang coins. Even the gods began to be worshiped by the Han people.

Now these barbarians, Hu Di, gathered from all directions. They rode horses, carried knives, carried bows and arrows, and held Tutuan banners with various patterns and numbers on their backs, and joined the kings of the Great Tang Western Expedition.

Those chiefs and chieftains in the past have now become Lizheng or Baochang or Jiachang, the township chiefs of Datang, and they bow down to the Crown Prince of Datang from a distance.

This feeling is far better than being greeted by civil and military officials in the Chang'an Golden Palace.

This gave him a sense of conquest.

He felt that he could conquer the whole world by taking these people and riding a horse all the way west!
