One person guards the lonely city, invincible in the world

Chapter 3 Climbing to Chang'an [Seeking Collection and Pursuing Reading]

Amidst surprised gazes, the skinny young scholar walked in slowly.

It seems that the long-standing inferiority complex made him dare not raise his head, his steps were timid and chaotic, and he stood silently in the corner.

The women and children turned their faces away, showing disgusted expressions in unison.

There is only one coward in Kucha City, and that is the Liu family!
The scholar's name was Liu Shang, and his grandfather was the master of Kucha City, who was in charge of affairs in the city, such as arranging the harvest of grain, coordinating the minting of coins, and so on.

At that time, there were more than 1 Anxi troops at the head of the city, so naturally there was no need for scribes to go to the battlefield.

But in the generation of Liu Shang's father, there were only more than 1000 white-headed troops left on the city wall, but Liu's father still shirked it because he was busy with business.

This Liu Shang is even worse, squatting in a thatched hut all day long to study, rather than studying knowledge, it is better to numb his heart in a narrow room.

There are only two young people left in Kucha City.

Facing the darkness with his own strength, his not-so-strong body shouldered the burden of the isolated city thousands of miles away, and the territory of Shenzhou on his shoulders.

And the other is unsightly, can the sage book save the common people?Can the book of sages save this lonely city?

"I'll go!" Liu Shang's face was pale, but this time his eyes were extremely firm.

The old woman looked at him coldly, although she was very old, her voice was still majestic:

"The desert is boundless, and the goshawks can't cross it. You sick and weak scholar, what do you use to get out of the Western Regions?"

"With a territory of hundreds of thousands of miles, only the isolated city of Qiuci still flies the flag of the Tang Dynasty. How much courage do you have?"

In her heart, only Chang'an has the ability to get out of the crisis-ridden desert.

Liu Shang's voice was low and he clenched his fists tightly:

"Climb, also climb to Chang'an."

"I want to tell the Central Plains that the Anxi Army has guarded for 60 years. I want to tell the common people and Li Shu that the soldiers guarding the border have not retreated a single step. I want to tell the descendants of Yingling that they did not abandon their families and children. They did the last drop for the civilization of the Central Plains." Blood!"

"The historian writes straight, the Anxi Army should not be forgotten, we want to shine in the annals of history!"

After speaking, his eyes were blood red and tears welled up.

Last night, Gu Chang'an stood alone at the top of the city, filled with blood mist, and his lonely back looking at the desert made Liu Shang ashamed and ashamed!
He is a scholar, he can no longer escape!
He can't carry a crossbow or spear, he has a pair of sound legs, he has a pair of nimble hands, and he will reach Chang'an even if he crawls forward!

One year, two years, three years, he will definitely bring this dawn to Chang'an and tell the Central Plains——

Some people have stood by China for 60 years in a desperate situation. How can you just sit back and watch the barbarians grow up and Shenzhou sink? Please rebuild the prosperous Tang Dynasty!
The women stared at Liu Shang, who was crying into tears, their eyes gradually softened, and they were silent and no longer spoke.

Of course they wanted Chang'an to leave Kucha City, but Chang'an's resolute attitude showed that he wanted to live and die with this territory.

For the current plan, Liu Shang can only be allowed to walk alone in the desert.

Does Liu Shang have selfish motives?

There must be.

Once he escapes from the dead and arrives in Chang'an, there is hope for his life. He can study steadily, and even get a job in an official position by virtue of his identity as an Anxi native.

After reading the map, everyone knows that it is impossible for Datang to send reinforcements, nor does it have the ability to open up the Hexi Corridor.

So an isolated city is an isolated city, and they will never have a chance to return to their hometown.

"He can't, you go." The old woman's cloudy eyes stared at Gu Chang'an, almost begging.

Why don't you want to live!

Chang'an will definitely be able to leave the desert. He is clever and quick-witted, and he will fight his way through the Central Plains.

"Don't persuade me anymore, I will live and die with the lonely city."

"There is only one god in the world, and that is the god of death. It wants to come to me? It's not the time yet."

Gu Changan was as calm as ever. He was born in the city of Kucha, and he will die in the city of Kucha.

This is faith, this is faith!
This is the backbone of the Central Plains, and it is the glory of China!

He hopes that the history books can record his deeds and tell the future generations that the territory cannot be lost, the civilization cannot be destroyed, and the backbone of the Han nationality lies across the long river!

What's more, more than 2 grandpas are watching him in the sky.

After 60 years of fighting, there is only the last single seedling left. How can we retreat?
"Liu Shang, remember what you said, you have to climb to Chang'an!"

Gu Chang'an's expression was cold, and he walked silently into the mansion house.

He found a pile of copper plates, which were cast by himself, and the word "Jianzhong" was engraved on it.

Minting money is only to maintain the circulation order in Kucha City, and the market needs currency equivalents so that there will be no chaos for 60 years.

When it comes to the trade routes controlled by barbarian countries, copper plates will definitely be rejected, only gold.

Gu Changan rummaged through the iron box and only found a dozen or so golden beans, which were the spoils of war that had been saved over the years.

……

The wind and sand are raging, and the moonlight is bleak.

Outside the city of Kucha, Liu Shang is leading a fine horse with large and small bags on its back.

He stared blankly at the broken city wall, his eyes moist.

"You know the barbarian language. First, pretend to be a barbarian and sneak into the town, find a job as a shop assistant, and take advantage of the opportunity of the Hexi Corridor to trade and flee to the Central Plains."

Gu Chang stared quietly for a long time, then turned back expressionlessly and entered the city.

"Bon voyage, I hope you arrive in Chang'an alive, and I hope you make great achievements with all your skills."

"Also, don't go back to the Western Regions again."

boom!
The gates of the city were closed tightly, separated by a wall, as if it was the dividing line between hell and freedom.

Gu Changan is willing to sink endlessly in hell.

thump--

Liu Shang knelt down and kowtowed three times. He knew that more than 2 Anxi heroic spirits were watching him in the sky.

"Climb to Chang'an as well." This is the oath he made.

It is his mission!

Sixty years, year after year, day after day.

The Anxi Army cannot be forgotten by the Central Plains. They spent their lives guarding the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

There is also Gu Chang'an, this man named Chang'an has never seen Chang'an, nor does he know how to speak Chang'an's dialect.

But his name must not be drowned in the long yellow sand.

In the Han Dynasty, Huo Qubing made the wolf live in Xu, Emperor Taizong conquered the Quartet, and Li Jing and Li Ji, the two emperors of the empire, are all famous generals in history books!

But in a certain sense, Gu Changan is no worse than them!

In the dark abyss, he alone sticks to the imprint of the Central Plains in the Western Regions, and lives his life into light.

The torch of hope should be passed on to the entire Chinese nation!

"Liu Shang is gone."

The scholar's forehead was bloody and bloody. He changed into a barbarian costume, cut off his long hair with scissors, and buried it all in the loess.

While looking back frequently, Yiqi took a long way and disappeared into the night.

Upstairs, Gu Changan leaned on the railing and watched Liu Shang leave.

The mission of narrow escape.

It is difficult to step out of the desert alone, let alone a thin scholar, who can only rely on tenacious willpower.

How strong the will can be exploded determines whether he can get out of Yumen Pass and step on the soil of the Central Plains.

Maybe he will die on the way, and the identity stamp in the package will be buried in the yellow sand, and no one cares about it.
