The bad emperor of Tang Dynasty

Along the banks of the Yellow River.A carriage is on a winding road.The loess rolled up and drove hard.At this moment, Guo Nuan lifted the curtain of the car.He looks out.Looking at the torrential water of the Jiuqu Yellow River turning yellow.Crashing on the river bed.As for the two sides of the strait, there are empty and vast deserts to the extreme.dune.Also the rocky Gobi.This scene.For a while, he couldn't help but read a famous poem to express his emotions when he came to Niaobushi.

"The lonely smoke in the desert is straight. The long river sets in the sun..."

It is said that Guo Nuan and the three started from Chang'an and rushed westward along the Hexi Corridor to the northwest.Almost a month passed in a flash.Stumbling along the way.With the bumpy carriage, they finally entered the territory of Shuofang Lingzhou.

"Hehe. It will take a while longer. We will soon be in the south of the Yangtze River."

Guo Nuan looked at Ah Fu who was driving the horse and the fat man who was sluggish and sleeping in the carriage.He couldn't help laughing and said encouragingly.

"Motion sickness. There is not even a sow here. Lao Guo. You also said that you are about to reach the inland Jiangnan, which is comparable to Jiangnan."

Da Biao muttered weakly.Come this month.Nearly eat and sleep along the way.Right in the middle of the sad description of "there is no store in this village" for sleeping in the rough.

This is the road from the Central Plains to the long Western Regions.If the carriage travels dozens of miles a day, it is unlikely that you will encounter a small residential settlement.Not to mention any hotels.

"No. Look. On the top of the head. There is no sow. But there is one eagle hovering in the sky." Guo Nuan stood on the footboard of the driver's seat of the carriage.He pointed to the flying object in the sky.

"Old Guo. Shoot it down quickly. I don't want to eat the bacon brought by the Princess Mansion anymore. I want to eat fresh chicken."

After hearing Guo Nuan's words, the fat man, who had been lifeless on the soft couch in the carriage, heard Guo Nuan's words.He immediately shouted excitedly.

"Master, you hold the wooden shaft of the carriage. Ah Fu is about to turn a corner."

Ah Fu is used to his young master always opening the curtain and running out to harass the driver when he is driving.This is not.I have just traveled seven or eight miles along the banks of the Yellow River.As soon as the carriage turned a corner, it went up the slope of the Loess Plateau.Then enter a steep loess pass.

"Quack. I heard that there is a custom of celestial burial after someone dies on the snow-capped mountain plateau in Tubo. The relatives strip the dead naked and throw the corpse in the wild for the falcons to eat the meat. Hmm... I guess this big chicken came from the snow-capped mountains. Flying down from the plateau. Or a distant relative of the snow-capped eagle." Guo Nuan caressed the stubble of his chin.he said to himself.

"Uh. No. It's a pity. This chicken is quite fat. I don't know if it has eaten human flesh." Da Biao watched anxiously as the old eagle flew farther and farther away in the colorful sky at dusk.His face was full of regret.

Guo Nuan chuckled and said to the fat man, "Yeah. It's better not to shoot. Quack. Fatty, you can't eat old birds that were fed with the corpses of Tang Fanbing and Turkic Tartars."

"No, no. I don't want to eat this evil thing." The fat man immediately extinguished the desire to eat fresh poultry meat.

But Guo Nuan was right.Ah Fu and Da Biao thought that the scenery around Shuofang would always be desolate.It is estimated that the eyes are full of loess folded mountain rocks or Gobi rocks.Where is the green grass here?At first, the two of them really didn't believe that this barren land could support people.Could it be that the soldiers in Shuofang all ate Avalokitesvara?stone pebble.Could it be that they all became immortals?

"Look. The water and soil in this area are not bad. Except for the gentle beauties from the south of the Yangtze River. Quack. But the loess water has nurtured many Hui girls who are enthusiastic, generous and quite exotic."

After half an hour.After the carriage passed a long and narrow pass.Suddenly a hole opened up in front of them.The desert gradually evolved into a grassland.There are also low oases.Inland lake water.Of course, the sharp-eyed Da Biao also found several houses scattered on the plain in the distance.Those Hui people are cutting grass.milking.Or shearing.Draw water.

"Hey. Not bad. The scenery looks comfortable. Finally, it has gained popularity."

Da Biao was thinking about going to the Hui herdsmen to ask for some food.Lamb leg.milk tea.Soufflé or something.

soon.Guo Nuan visited a tented house.Hui herdsmen are very simple and hospitable.The food that Da Biao was looking forward to was put on the carpet for a banquet.It can be described as a feast.

Stay overnight at a warm and kind herdsman's house.The master and his wife stayed overnight at a neighbor's house.Just to set aside a tent for Guo Nuan and the others.This moved them greatly.

Before leaving.Guo Nuan secretly stuffed several large ingots of silver under the pillows in the tent.It is estimated that the more than 300 taels can provide this herdsman to purchase seven or eight big cattle.It can be regarded as Guo Nuan's kindness in repaying the hospitable host.

The male herdsmen saw them off on horseback.It has been sent for more than ten miles.Guo Nuan and the others passed his guidance.Soon entered the capital of Shuofang. .Lingzhou.This is also where most of the troops in Jiedujun Town are stationed.

Come all the way.Guo Nuan and the others encountered many camel caravans coming from Persia in the Middle East.They also saw continuous sand peaks.Layers of folded rocks.The Yellow River rushes down thousands of miles.And independently become a small pocket natural island.The gloomy scene above the oasis is particularly beautiful.

Of course, they also passed the ancient Great Wall built during the Qin Shihuang period.However, it has been devastated by hundreds of years of war.The section of the Qin Great Wall has long been in ruins.As the last section of the Silk Road leading to the Eastern Central Plains terminus.Guo Nuan also saw many clay kilns on the Loess Plateau for firing ceramics.And the vast and majestic huge stone carvings and prehistoric rock paintings.The murals of flying fairies in Dunhuang have also spread to that area.

It is said that these historical relics are undoubtedly of great archaeological value.But Guo Nuan came to Shuofang Military Camp to report.Not for archaeology.Just enjoy it as a tourist when passing by.Had an eye addiction.In his previous life, he also traveled around Ningxia.However, Datang's road to the Western Regions is undoubtedly the most authentic reproduction.

I heard that Guo Ziyi, an old man in Shuofang, led tens of thousands of town soldiers to dig a project to divert water from the Yellow River to irrigate the fields.The originally desolate and barren soil in this area has gradually been cultivated into fertile fields.

However, the Yellow River water can slightly solve the irrigation problem.But the climate here is still very harsh.There is a large temperature difference between day and night.Once it's daytime.Sitting in the carriage, Guo Nuan and Fatty were like steamed stuffed buns.Almost done.The temperature is estimated to be in the 40s.Sometimes it reaches fifty degrees.

One night.The temperature can suddenly drop to minus seven or eight degrees.When the fat man talked about camping on the Loess Plateau, he only shivered.On the barren loess gravel cliff.A cold moonlight shines.Standing upright on a lonely and lonely cliff is like a breeze blowing through your sleeves.It was cold as hell.It feels like wearing a padded jacket is like bare buttocks.Guo Nuan's teeth chattered as soon as he peed.His legs trembled.Urine can't be straightened.intermittent.

I have suffered so much along the way.Look forward to.What kind of scene will my old man see me.He led the army of wolves and tigers to welcome Guo's son.Guo Nuan fantasizes.Anyway, I am also the second generation of officials.It should be treated like this.

But what he thought was far from reality.This is something that Guo Nuan could not have imagined before.What a sad Guo Nuanshuo's record of joining the army.hey-hey. ． ． ．He feels a little regretful
