Chapter 485: Liangzhou Travel, Chongjiaying Gaoshun

The wind blows the tornado sand in the desert, and the frost falls all over the pear blossoms.

The sobbing north wind swept past with a biting chill, like a hand raising a piece of dust and sand, forming a dust storm, like a fierce beast, swallowing the old trees in one bite.

The dust storm monster roared around with its teeth and claws, sweeping unscrupulously across everything in its sight, trees, houses, towns, and the endless river.

The warmth of early spring has not yet arrived on this land. The frost in the morning leaves silver-white trees hanging on the trees, as beautiful as Christmas trees. At the end of the east sky, on the horizon, the red rising sun slowly rises.

Unlike the March temperature in Chuzhou that has begun to warm up, and the new tree buds and grass stems are taking off their old clothes, this small town is still immersed in the cold wind of the winter.

In such weather and temperature, perhaps staying in a warm room, then lying in a bed, hugging your wife, is the most beautiful enjoyment, but when the first light illuminates the town, the whimpering horn sounds above the town with the whizzing wind.

The melodiousness of the Cowhound was not concealed by the roar of the wind beast. In Zhenbei, a place where the dust beasts were ravaged, a place with fully armed warriors suddenly emerged from the extremely low earth cave. They only wore armor and looked thick enough, but in order to resist the blow of the cold wind, each warrior was also wearing a fur cloak in addition to the armor.

Thick ox horn helmets covered every face, and thick goggles made rustling sounds in the wind and sand from time to time. More than 400 people filled the spacious schoolyard, lined horizontally and vertically. From a distance, they looked like hundreds of piles of stones, allowing the wind, sandstorms to rush around, but they didn't move.

The extremely cold and biting cold wind stormed, lifting up the thick cowhide cloak, and then blew into the cloak with a chance, biting the heavy diamond iron armor.

At the forefront of the hundreds of soldiers, on the ground about a squat-meter-meter-meter-meter-old earth platform built with earth and stone, a strong man in the same costume stood on the high ground platform, perhaps too far ahead. He became the main target of the cold wind and sandstorm. The wind was like the sharp claws of a monster, sweeping over like a knife again and again, and the dust storm was like spell attacks again and again, and countless tiny grains of sand crackled on his armor.

Standing silently without any instructions. In this harsh environment, standing still is the best practice.

As the rising sun rose and completely left the horizon, the fiery light was like the nemesis of this raging cold wind and dust storm, gradually tamed with its soothing.

At this time, the town, which was getting up late than the sun, finally had its first shop opened. The children ran out of the house like a solid ball, gathered together, chasing and rushing towards the schoolyard in the north.

A circle of simple fences seemed to be the only division between the schoolyard and the surrounding open space. The children stomped the fences and lined up, looking at the hundreds of standing soldiers in the schoolyard. It seemed that this kind of look at them had become their new habit.

The cold wind finally calmed down. As the sun rose, the temperature was finally no longer so cold. The general standing on the stone platform finally moved. A few thin ice crystals fell at the joints of the armor, untied the cloak of the cloak, revealing the heavy armor that was shining with dark light in the sun.

As he stumbled, a straight-long ox-horned sword was pulled out of the scabbard, and the cold soldier made people feel cold: "The practice begins! Raise the shield! Hold the knife!"

The roar sounded like a bell and rang out over the entire school ground. Hundreds of bulbs were taken off, revealing the steel heavy armor on their bodies. On the back, the shield that could protect most of the body was placed on the arm, holding the knife handle from the top of the shield, the protruding horn wings in the center, and hundreds of cold lights flashed in the sun.

The originally rising temperature fell to the bottom in an instant.

"one!"

Hundreds of soldiers raised the shield in their hands. This entire shield weighed 30 kilograms and was made of stainless steel. Unless it was shot with heavy crossbows, ordinary swords and bows would not be damaged at all. With that order, more than 400 people raised the shield in their hands, and their movements were neat and uniform, giving people a sense of impact like a tsunami.

"two!"

Hundreds of warriors took a neat step forward, and then pushed the shield forward fiercely.

"three!"

The waist twisted, the shield blocked, and at the same time raised the sword in his right hand. This sword was also a heavy army, far from being a scimitar used by cavalry, but similar to the sword in the Tang Dynasty. Its thick back was two fingers wide, the soldier was five feet and three inches long and weighed thirty kilograms.

Waving the big moon sword fell down fiercely, and the air seemed to be torn apart by the blade. A chill that penetrated people's hearts made people shudder.

With such an exercise, every move made the children around them widen their eyes. Although they had seen it countless times, they still could not stop the tremor of their hearts. A look of yearning bloomed in the simple eyes.

In the town, the only high-rise building, the top of a small building made of huge bluestone, which looks like a fortress, is open. Looking through the window, you can see the schoolyard less than 200 meters away clearly.

"Miss, you are watching General Gao again!" A maid wearing a sheepskin jacket walked in with a tray. Although the outfit looked a bit bloated, the figure wrapped in the thick clothes could not be concealed.

"I want you to talk too much!" The lady's cheeks were slightly red, but she didn't feel too shy: "Where is my father, I didn't ask him to propose marriage to me, why haven't there any movement yet!"

The maid sneered and said, "My lady, even if you are in a hurry to get married, you can't urge you like this. The master has asked someone to check the details of General Gao. You are the jewel of our master's hand. You can't just marry someone of unknown origin!"

"What does it mean to be unknown? He is a general appointed by the Empire. What else can he have? My father is really!"

"Okay, Miss, come and have breakfast, you're afraid he will run away!"

"Hmph, I am really afraid that he will run away. After the last time that Fan came, my eyelids kept twitching. With her personality, she would snatch me with her!

"That's true. Miss cousin has been fighting with you since childhood, but the master did not plan to let him go there this time, so the master has prepared some food, supplies, etc. and will be sent to the military camp later. If you don't eat quickly, you won't be able to catch up!"

"Ah, you girl, why didn't you say it earlier?"

The carriage was shaking and the horse was shaking on a road, and the wind blew the bells at the four corners of the carriage, making a crisp sound.

"Wen Bai, where are we?" In the carriage, a small stove emitted burning heat. On the seats on both sides, the poisonous soldier Jia Xu put down the book in his hand, rubbed his slightly sore eyes, and said to the outside.

Outside the carriage, a rough man was driving a carriage, and next to this man, an old man was wrapped in a thick leather jacket and a hat on his head, making it impossible to see his face clearly.

"If you want to go back to the master, we have just passed Tongchuan County and are about to reach the Wild Horse Ferry!"

"Oh!" Jia Xu said oh, muttering in a low voice. After passing the Wild Horse Ferry, it was the territory of Yumen Mansion.

Opposite the Wild Horse Ferry is Guanping Town. It seems that General Gao Shun was appointed here. Judging from the news sent by Bao Xiaodan, Gao Shun has laid a foundation here.

Four months have passed since the separation of the imperial capital several months ago. Zhang Liang and he traveled to Yunzhou. Then he searched the books of nearly a month in the imperial capital to learn about the general history of the mainland and the imperial history. After the two combined the information sent by Bao Xiaodan, they finally decided to separate. Zhang Liang went south to Qingzhou, while Jia Xu chose to travel west to Liangzhou.

Through Yunzhou, Youzhou, and to Liangzhou, Jia Xu was familiar with the customs and humanities around and understood the current situation of the empire, while aiming to move westward. His purpose was Situ Feng, the fifth prince of the empire who lived in Liangzhou.

"In Liangzhou, there are General Gao Shun, General Zhang Liao and General Li Guang. I have met General Zhang, and only General Gao in Yumen and General Li in Qinchuan are left. If you want to help the young master occupy this country, the fifth prince Situ Feng is the most important one!"

"But before meeting him, I have to take out some gifts, otherwise it will be difficult to get reused easily!" Jia Xu leaned his back on the chair, but he was thinking in his mind.

"Three years! I don't know who will win this bet." Jia Xu remembered the bet with Zhang Liang, and couldn't help but smile!

The Qinluo River has quietly untied the ice. This largest river in the north can be said to be one of the two dragon veins of the Tianlong Empire. However, every spring is also the time when the Qinluo River is in full swing.

The Qinluo River channel forms a large shape of a few characters, so every spring, the ice in the shape of a few characters will melt with the upstream and downstream. The congested ice will cause floods to break out in the upstream, so soon the Qinluo River will enter the ferry period.

Jia Xu rushed along the way, just to cross the Qinluo River before the Lingsun River. Of course, he didn't have so much time to delay. A war broke out at the border between Youzhou and Zhongzhou, and a larger-scale war broke out next.

Just as Jia Xu was rushing to Guanping Town, the mayor of Guanping Town, and the head of the Fan family, the largest aristocratic family in the town, came to the barracks with his precious daughter with dozens of cars of condolences.

Speaking of the Fan family, it is one of the nine major surnames in Xiliang. There is a saying that there are ten surnames and five Fans in Yumen Mansion. Although the Guanping Fan family is only one of the many branches of the Fan family, it is the same in this Guanping town.

However, this time the Fan family entered this barracks, not because their daughter took a fancy to the general, but had other purposes.
