Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players

Chapter 129 Sword Dance Outside Yumen Pass
In Yumen Pass.

Fan Zeng, the defense envoy of the Yumen Army, is an old general. His temples are already pale in his 40s. Since he came to Longyou 20 years ago, Fan Zeng has been stationed in Yumen for 20 years.

Twenty years ago, Yumen Pass was the front line of Kaiyuan Kaibian. At that time, the Yumen Army stationed tens of thousands of troops and was often harassed by Turkic cavalry.

Because of his bravery in battle, Fan Zeng accumulated military exploits along the way, from corporal commander to Shichang, from Shichang to Yingzheng, from Yingzheng to brigade commander, from brigade commander to school lieutenant.

The territory of Datang is getting bigger and bigger, and Fan Zeng's position is getting higher and higher, but Yumen is getting deserted day by day.

Datang's army had reached Anxi, and the former threat to Northern Turks had been completely defeated by Datang. Fan Zeng had no more battles to fight.

The Yumen Army, which used to be as high as 3000 people, was abolished to [-] people. From the Yumen Army's attack envoys to the Yumen Army's defensive envoys, Yumen has changed from the front line of the frontier to the rear.

Fan Zeng could only hear the news of the victory on the front line from the soldiers who had returned from the front line.

Fan Zeng originally thought that this splendid prosperity could continue, but the wheel of history was too fast, and it was beyond his personal will to stop it.

An Lushan rebellion, the imperial court conscripted the Longyou army into Guanzhong to suppress the rebellion, Fan Zeng handed over [-] elites to the deputy general, and asked him to continue to make contributions to the Tang Dynasty.

Of the three thousand Yumen troops, only one thousand remained. Fan Zeng did not wait for the news of the success of the rebellion, but heard the news that Tongguan was defeated and the whole family of the Tang army was wiped out.

It was too late for Fan Zeng to be sad, the situation in Longyou had changed.

The Uighurs who rose from the northern grasslands replaced the Turks and began to harass the northern part of Longyou.

The Tubo people even showed greedy desires, constantly attacking the Longyou states.

With a mere thousand Yumen troops, it is not bad to be able to defend Yumen Pass.

Fan Zeng became more and more disappointed with the Tang court. The Jiedu Mansion in Hexi passed down the emperor's edict, and Tang signed a treaty with the Uyghurs, strictly prohibiting the military mansions in Longyou from attacking the Uyghurs.

That being the case, then guard at Yumen Pass.

A few days ago, Baowenshan Zhuoshou Mansion sent a messenger to ask for help, but Zhuoshou Mansion was besieged by Uighur cavalry.

His subordinate Erlang begged for a fight, but Fan Zeng suppressed them all.

It's not that Fan Zeng and Bao Wenshan have a grudge against each other, but Fan Zeng and his predecessor Bao Wenshan are old comrades in arms, and Fan Zeng grew up watching the current envoy.

But Fan Zeng no longer wanted Erlang at Yumen Pass to be killed or injured. The emperor and the Jiedu envoy had strictly ordered him not to attack, so why would he take the risk?Anyway, the Uighurs surrounded Zhushoufu, probably just extorting and looting.

Fan Zeng originally thought that the past would be peaceful, but a few days ago another group of people who claimed to be envoys of King Jianning came.

Fan Zeng, King Jianning came to Longyou, naturally knew about the news that King Jianning had defeated Tubo, but Fan Zeng was skeptical.

Fan Zeng is naturally aware of Li Tang's royal family's drama of seizing the heir. Now he just wants to be alone and protect his Yumen army.

Continue to strictly order his subordinate Erlang not to attack without authorization, Fan Zeng patrols Yumen Pass every day, and he ignores other things.

A few days ago, my subordinates reported that the female official under King Jianning came to Yumen Pass to find some old musicians.

These are all old musicians from the heyday of the Yumen Army more than ten years ago. They are all about the same age as Fan Zeng. Then they went in and out of Yumen and closed it.

Li Daoyuan's eastbound group received a mission and waited for Yu Chixin's army outside Yumen Pass.

But Yu Chixin was stationed in Dashuixia for reorganization and training, and the people in Li Daoyuan's brigade had nothing to do.

It will take a while for Yu Chixin to come, and Yu Xiaoxiao, who is idle and bored, decides to rehearse a show outside Yumen Pass.

Yu Xiaoxiao heard about some old musicians in Yumen Pass, she persuaded these old musicians to come out by hard work.

These old musicians are getting old, but the Qiang flute they play is still melodious, the pipa they play is still graceful and flexible, and the tambourine they beat is still exciting.

More than a dozen old musicians were invited out of Yumenguan by Yu Xiaoxiao, and they rehearsed and arranged music with Yu Xiaoxiao every day.

Seeing Yu Xiaoxiao playing and singing every day, the businessmen stationed outside Yumen Pass were also very interested, and some multi-talented businessmen also joined Yu Xiaoxiao's band.

Yu Xiaoxiao also never refused to come, the number of the band had reached a hundred people, and she actually brought this group of people to rehearse day and night.

What is this blowing about.

Listening to the chaotic tones outside the city, Fan Zeng didn't know what the female official under King Jianning was going to do.

Forget it, let her do it, anyway, it's just some old musicians, and it won't cause any trouble.

Yu Xiaoxiao came from a major in music and dance. Although the ancient music scores are different from the Western music scores she studied, the music theory of music is the same both in ancient and modern China and abroad.

After rehearsing day and night outside Yumen Pass for several days, Yu Xiaoxiao finally finished rehearsing the music.

Yu Xiaoxiao was excited, there were more than a hundred musicians, it was a small symphony orchestra!

I am a UP master with only a few hundred thousand people, when will I be qualified to have a symphony orchestra to accompany me!
It's actually done in the game!This is still a folk band!

Yu Xiaoxiao asked the soldiers of Yumen Pass to set up a stage outside the pass. How could these soldiers guarding the border pass refuse the request of a cute girl like Yu Xiaoxiao.

Looking at the busy soldiers, Fan Zeng could only smile wryly. It was too hard to guard the border, and the strict order that the Yumen army could not attack the Uighurs had already made these Haoerlang suffocate.

That being the case, as long as they don't violate the military order to attack the Uighurs, let them mess around.

With the help of Yumen Army soldiers, the stage for Yu Xiaoxiao's performance has also been set.

With hundreds of musicians, Yu Xiaoxiao was extremely excited on the stage outside Yumen Xiongguan. This is a treatment that even the top entertainment circles don't have!
After finishing the final rehearsal, Yu Xiaoxiao rested all night. In the early morning, Fan Zeng was woken up by the sound of drums.

what is this?Doesn't seem like a snare drum?Is it the drums played?
It seems that today is the day when the lady of Jianning Wang performed?Fan Zeng put on his clothes and walked up the city wall.

More than a dozen military musicians, plus musicians from merchants, a hundred people stood neatly by the side of the stage.

The female officer changed into a dancer's dress and stood in the center of the stage with a sword in her hand.

The sound of the drums became louder and louder, and the sounds of Qiang flute and 苼 were added, and another burst of rapid pipa sound was inserted.

This piece of music, this is "Qin Wang Breaking the Array"!
The musicians begin to sing:
"According to the law, the head of state, the prime minister will punish the traitors. The salty song breaks the battle, and the Taiping people are rewarded together."

Yu Xiaoxiao stood in the center of the stage and started a beautiful sword dance.

"The four seas are the emperor's wind quilt, and the water is clear for thousands of years; the military clothing is not to be worn, and today's success."

"The Music of the King of Qin Breaking the Battle" is a military song of the Tang Dynasty, and the soldiers standing on the city wall also sang along.

The music resounded inside and outside Yumen Pass, and even Fan Zeng felt excited.

"The lord opened the Changli calendar, and the ministers were loyal to Dayou; after you saw Yange, it was Taipingqiu."

When the last "It's Taiping Autumn" was sung, Fan Zeng was already in tears.

After the music and dancing, the wind and dust billowed west of Yumen Pass, and Yu Chixin's big banner was erected high, appearing in front of the Yumen Pass sergeants.

The cavalrymen on Baowen Mountain cried bitterly and shouted: "Reinforcement! Reinforcement!"

Yumen Pass also shouted "Reinforcement! Reinforcement!"

At this moment, the musicians played a new song again, which was a song Fan Zeng had never heard before.

But the tune is passionate and exciting, and more than a hundred musicians sang in chorus:

"It's snowing all night long, take a shawl for me!"

"Da Tang Haoerlang, Qi pierces Haotian!"

"With a three-foot sword hanging from your waist, you are willing to be the leader of the army!"

"Follow the king into the enemy's camp, there is no need to fear life and death!"

The soldiers on the city wall hummed first, then sang along, and finally gathered a voice: "Fight! Fight! Fight!"

Seeing the resolute expression on the face of his subordinate Erlang, Fan Zeng raised his sword and shouted: "Your Langs, come out with me! Kill Hu!"

　finished. . .Just sent it.

　　You can listen to the song "Yumen Pass", the work of the Rainbow Chamber Choir.
