Chapter 386 Weiqiao Intercepted for the End of the World

The fifth update is given, and the rewards of the brothers from Tianya of the Destiny will be added!

After passing Longshan and entering Guanzhong, along the Weihe Valley, heading eastward, passing Longzhou and Qizhou, the team finally entered the capital.

From Lintan to Chang'an, it was a total of 1,500 miles, and traveling through mountains and rivers. Finally, I arrived in the capital before the New Year. When I arrived in Beijing, it was already the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month.

However, the soldiers did not really enter Chang'an.

Not far from Mawei Post, Zhang Chao and his party were stopped at Xiwei Bridge.

There are three bridges on the Wei River north of Chang'an, Wei Bridge and East-West Wei Bridge. The West Wei Bridge is about forty miles away from Chang'an.

The imperial guards were guarded by Xiwei Bridge. Seeing Zhang Chao's team of thousands of people, he was very vigilant. The corner sounded from a distance, and a team of soldiers drove out and set up formations.

Zhang Chao's team was indeed a bit large, originally with more than 2,000 people. As a result, since Lintan, caravans and people have been constantly joining them. Many merchants are trying to follow the brigade and go with them to safety. Many people in Guanzhong are going to return home to worship their ancestors, and by the way, they also take the elderly and children who have stayed at home to Taozhou. Some people even plan to take their married daughters or sisters and other family to Taozhou to settle down. After all, Taozhou can now share land and give land for three years, which is really good.

The result was that when Zhang Chao's team arrived at Xiwei Bridge, it had already rolled to 5,000 people like snowballs. In particular, many merchants also carried a large number of goods, especially many flocks of cattle, horses and sheep, which made Zhang Chao's team even more huge.

Zhang Chao and his party walked in front, with smoke and dust rolling behind him, like an army of more than ten thousand people.

The defenders of Xiwei Bridge were also soldiers of the military. They had long received a notice from the court that they knew that Dingxi Protector would bring a team of more than a thousand people to the capital in the near future.

But now there seemed to be tens of thousands of people coming, and they did not dare to be careless, so the alarm bell rang, and the two thousand soldiers stationed here all gathered to set up their formation.

Zhang Chao held the war horse and smiled helplessly.

He was used to such a big disturbance. Along the way, such things happened a lot. The cities along the way were all in chaos.

There is no way, who will bring five or six thousand people and tens of thousands of cattle, horses and sheep.

When I was nervous, I felt that Tuyuhun had hit me or that the Turks had hit me.

When the alarm bell was ringing, the city gate was closed, and the people nearby were also hiding everywhere.

By the Xiwei Bridge, because of this Xiwei Bridge, it is not only a military important place, but also a very prosperous business store. Originally, the New Year was approaching, and it was very lively, and many people were hurrying to go on.

Suddenly, a large army arrived, so the market next to Wei Bridge became in chaos, and the people ran away as if they were hiding from the plague.

"Seeing the tiger, didn't I ask you to bring someone to the front station?"

Niu saw the tiger with grievance, "Protector, I came here three days ago. I told the guards here clearly that you will cross the river and enter Beijing in three days."

"You didn't say we have more people?"

"I said, this time we not only had the escorts and the Taozhou Chaoji officials, but also escorted a batch of taxable items and protected the 18-nation missions into the capital. I said it clearly that our team has more than 2,000 people."

Zhang Chao snorted, looked back at the long tail behind him, "Didn't you tell them the caravans and people who followed us to Beijing?"

"No, that's not our team, what are they doing?"

Zhang Chao rolled his eyes.

"You go over and explain the situation truthfully, including the caravans that follow us, the number of people, etc. This is an important place in the capital, so don't cause panic."

The cow saw the tiger and went to slap the horse.

The guard general was in chaos, and let the cow dismount and walk away when he saw the tiger.

After asking for a long time, I came over to meet Zhang Chao.

"The last general will pay a visit to Wu'an Gong!"

Zhang Chao showed his official seal, and the general carefully looked at the caravans and the people behind him, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that it was really just the Dingxi governor Zhang Wenyuan who entered Beijing, thinking that the Turks or Tuyuhun people had suddenly called him.

"Can you pass the test?"

The general said in a little embarrassedly, "So many people, the general dare not let go without authorization. He also asked Duke Wu'an to wait here for a moment. I will send someone to Beijing to report immediately."

This answer was reasonable, so Zhang Chao asked the team to stop north of the Wei River and then Anza.

Those businessmen and the people were also asked to stay here for the time being and not leave.

Zhang Chao arranged for camping, and he probably wouldn't have any news for a while, and even if the news came, his fangs would not be able to enter the capital.

"Why do you have to camp so much trouble? You will definitely be able to cross the bridge after a while."

"Please set up a camp. It's cold and cold anyway, so you should just warm up. Remember to build the camps in a neat manner, so don't let the imperial guards underestimate our Taozhou soldiers."

The order was passed down, and although the soldiers in Taozhou had some small opinions, they were not vague in their execution. However, the caravans and people behind were asked not to move around, and they all complained constantly. But after Zhang Chao's order was passed down, these people also obeyed honestly.

Along the way, Zhang Duhu's soldiers never felt sorry for them, nor had they seized any of their property, and took good care of them. In addition, most of these people were immigrants from Taozhou or businessmen who did business in the border cities of Taozhou, so they knew Zhang Chao well. Zhang Chao's prestige made them all obey.

On the banks of Wei Bridge, the two thousand defenders stood there and did not dare to disperse easily. Even though they had confirmed Zhang Chao's identity, they did not dare to let go before they received the instructions from above, and they could not even believe this huge team.

When the guard general passed by, he could see clearly that this army was quite elite. In particular, not only the soldiers of Taozhou, but also many barbarian soldiers, and even many barbarian women were riding horses and swords. These Taozhou soldiers and barbarian soldiers all had murderous aura, which made the generals guarding the pass very afraid.

"General, are we standing here like this?"

"Yeah, just in case."

The deputy general smiled bitterly. There were no less than two thousand soldiers on the opposite side. These foreign soldiers and horses were obviously fierce and good at fighting. Seeing that their aura was different from their own side, they had no chance of winning even if they really fought.

"These Taozhou soldiers are really tough!"

"They were originally the Yuan Dynasty Imperial Guards, and they had always been equipped and trained. When they arrived at Longyou, they thought they were in trouble. Who knew that they met a disrespectful Zhang Sanlang, Yunwen and Wu, who had to take them to make trouble in Taozhou. Oh my god, a tribe with a population of more than 200,000 was beaten by them, and only half of them were left. More than 300 miles, more than 100,000 people and hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep were all sold in Taozhou. Have you heard that these Taozhou soldiers are now all sent out. Not to mention that they can still get a lot of subsidies and rewards every month, not to mention that after every war, they can still share the spoils. It is said that now the Taozhou soldiers are pulled out and their net worth is hundreds of stagnant!"

"Tsk tsk, I've met a good boss."

"Who said no?"

"This Zhang Sanlang is really amazing."

"That's all, in less than two years, people started from scratch and forced themselves to become the current Shangzhu Kingdom and founding Duke of Wu'an County. There are not many such skills in the world."

"I am not only good at fighting, but also a great scholar. Don't forget that Zhang Sanlang is a Guanglu official, and that is a civil servant. When fighting, they are just by the way!"

A group of defenders from Xiying Bridge stood there basking in the sun, watching the Taozhou team set up camp on the roadside, chatting with envy.

Zhang Chao accompanied Cui Yingying and others for a walk along the Wei River.

"In the past, I often came to the Wei River for a walk every March. Seeing that the Wei River was more friendly than the Tao River and more generous than the Tan River."

"That's right, the Wei River is very wide when it comes here. It's not comparable to the Tanshui River and Tao River. However, Taozhou is also better than Taozhou, and the water there is clearer."

Qingluan was riding a horse with her hundred female soldiers, and she also came to the Wei River to drink horses. Cui Yingying looked at Qingluan in the distance.

"The women in the Kingdom of Women are really strange."

Zhang Chao didn't respond, just smiled.

"Why are you laughing at? I won't care about your affairs. Anyway, I know that women in the Kingdom of Women are not getting married."

The news that Zhang Chao led his troops to Xiwei Bridge was soon sent to the court.

"Zhang Wenyuan finally arrived in Beijing? He was at Xiwei Bridge with more than 5,000 people?"

Upon hearing this news, Feng Deyi, who was on duty in Shangshu Province, was shocked. Zhang Chao brought more than 5,000 people to Beijing, which was quite serious.

When the officials continued to say that there were only 800 soldiers from Taozhou, there were more than 1,000 people from the 18th National Mission, as well as more than 3,000 caravans and people who followed them to Beijing.

Feng Deyi breathed a sigh of relief.

If Zhang Wenyuan really wants to bring 5,000 Taozhou troops into the capital, it will be regarded as a rebellion and rebellion, and the court will have to mobilize troops.

"Remember to say it all the time next time you speak."

"The Eighteenth League National Mission, Zhang Wenyuan did what he said, arrived before the New Year, and this year's dynasty became even more lively." Feng Deyi smiled and stroked his beard.

He picked up the report and Feng Deyi entered the palace to report to the saint.

By the Wei River.

A team soon came, but it was not the court who came to pass the order.

However, this group of people was also a soldier stationed on the north bank of the Wei River. The soldiers from the Longyou Grand Governor's Office in Liangzhou were brought by Luo Yi in the Beijing Dynasty. The number was not as large as Zhang Chao, and only 200 cavalry.

They were placed near Xiwei Bridge. I heard that many people came, even caravans and women, so I rushed over to watch the fun.

As soon as they came over, they actually saw a group of women drinking horses by the Wei River.

"Oh, these barbarians can even ride horses and carry knives. Could it be that they can still fight?"

"Okay, you'll know if you go and try it!"

A group of Liangzhou cavalry went forward with a smile and surrounded the female soldiers of the Kingdom of Women and started teasing them.
