This is not the Datang I am familiar with

There are more than a dozen oil-paper umbrellas at the entrance of the cafeteria, like an umbrella-making workshop in the south of the Yangtze River.

Chen Fang and Tao Hong walked in and looked at the empty seats inside.

"My son-in-law, what do you want to eat, Tao Hong will get it."

"Just help me get some."

"Sit down, Prince Consort, I'll be right back."

When Tao Hong came back, she brought two different ones on purpose. Chen Fang knew that this girl had asked her to pick one on purpose!

While drinking hot porridge, scooping up boiled Jiangnan white rice and peanuts, Chen Fang heard an eagle cry outside, got up and walked outside the cafeteria.

Snow Eagle had already landed in the wide area of ​​Tang Workshop, when Chen Fang rushed there, Wu Meiniang and Concubine Jing also rushed there holding umbrellas.

"Dingyu, how is it?"

"Unexpectedly, as master expected, something happened there. I killed two teams of Fanbing, but after the masters of Fanbing came, I came back."

Both Wu Meiniang and Chen Fang sank for a moment.Although it was expected before, but when things really happened, the two of them still found it difficult.

Chapter 805 Farewell

At this time, they were really attacked from three sides, and Datang was almost cornered.

"Empress Dowager, Concubine Jing, send Empress Dowager back to rest."

Concubine Jing helped Wu Meiniang go back, and Dingyu followed Chen Fang.Chen Fang looked at her, he asked Dingyu to go to the southwest to check, but Dingyu killed the two teams of soldiers just to check, it seems that what Dingyu saw was not just as simple as Zhan Luan.

"Dingyu, what's going on in Chuanshu?"

"It's appalling. Those fan soldiers did all kinds of evil, cruel and bloody. Even children can't escape the murderous hands."

"I see. You run overnight to Dunhuang to pick up Meng Fei, Chun Xiao and her children. By the way, bring a word to King Xu so that he won't stand in the wrong place."

"Master, do you doubt King Xu?"

"It should be more than suspicion, maybe you won't see King Xu at all."

"Master, if King Xu dares to disagree, I will bring King Xu's head back to the workshop."

"He stayed in Yongzhou for several years, and he didn't stay there for nothing. You just spread the word, and the main thing is to bring Meng Fei and Chunxiao back."

"Yes!"

Xue Ying pierced the sky again, flying too frequently, there was a trace of dissatisfaction in Xue Ying's eagle cry.

These strange beasts are extremely intelligent. Compared with humans, they are almost speechless.

Watching Dingyu leave, Chen Fang went to the courtyard where Wu Meiniang lived, saw the room where the sand table was placed was lit, walked in, and saw Wu Meiniang standing next to the sand table.

"How confident are we that we can repel King Pingnan's Han army?"

Chen Fang saw that the position Wu Meiniang was looking at was exactly where King Pingnan's army was, and it was almost approaching Xiaoguan.

"Five percent! Empress Dowager, if Xiao Guan falls, Empress Dowager and Majesty should go to Luoyang Palace to take refuge!"

"Xiao Guan can't lose me and Hong Er can't retreat either!"

Chen Fang looked at Wu Meiniang, and gently squeezed her hand.

"The minister will rush to Xiao Guan tomorrow, don't worry, the queen mother is here, Xiao Guan is here, and the minister is here."

"Chen Fang, you must come back! You promised me that when we grow old, you will build the grave next to me."

"Yes, I promised Mei Niang."

In the middle of the night, the snow eagle came to Tanggongfang again. Dingyu jumped off the eagle's back, holding a sleeping baby in her arms, who should not be as big as Sisi, probably only one or two months old.

Holding the baby, Dingyu had already seen her master waiting with an umbrella.

"Where are Meng Fei and Chunxiao?"

"Master, the Xiongnu cavalry is already attacking Dunhuang. Master's guess is correct. Xu Wang and Li Sujie have already rebelled and opened Dunhuang City, allowing the Huns cavalry and the Western Regions to enter the city. Now only the Dunhuang branch army is resisting. The workshop has been destroyed. Sister Meng and Chun Xiao are unwilling to come back and say that the son-in-law handed over the Dunhuang branch to her, and she will live and die with the branch. They asked me to bring this child back."

At that moment, an oil-paper umbrella slipped from Chen Fang's shoulder, and the rain beat Chen Fang's cheeks and body desperately.

He once promised Meng Fei that he would go to Dunhuang to see her, ride horses with her in Hexi, enjoy the desert scenery with her, and take a walk along the ancient silk road.

Until now, he has never been to Dunhuang once, and that departure turned out to be a farewell.

She is the woman who has been with Chen Fang for the longest time. Meng Fei has been following Chen Fang since Chen Fang was preparing to press oil in Ye Ting Palace. Chen Fang, who is the owner of the workshop, basically only has an empty title. Now, she is the first woman to leave Chen Fang.And once you leave, you will never come back.

"Master! You..."

"I'm fine, take the child to His Royal Highness Yiyang, let Yiyang feed it, and keep Sisi as a companion."

"Master, this child?"

"He should be called Sister Yiyang."

"Master, is this the late emperor's child?"

"Go!"

The baby in Dingyu's arms was already crying. Dingyu looked at Master, hugged the baby tightly, and ran to the courtyard where Master lived.They can withstand wind and rain and suffering, but such a small child can't endure anything.

Seeing Dingyu leave, Chen Fang seemed to have lost his soul. He didn't pick up the umbrella on the ground and walked step by step in the workshop.

Chen Fang passed the promenade, the road covered by cherry trees, and the cafeteria that had long lost lights in the workshop. Chen Fang walked towards the workshop area. There were no lights in the workshop area at night. He walked in the dark and rain, looking at the In the night, there are only hazy silhouettes of houses in the workshop area.

Chen Fang walked towards the courtyard where Meng Fei used to live, and fell to the ground directly outside the courtyard gate.

In the house, there was a bang sound, which woke Caiyi awake. Holding an umbrella, she hurried to the courtyard gate, and when she saw the son-in-law lying on the ground under the porch, Caiyi screamed.

"Yinye, Xueli, Bai Ya, get up quickly, get up quickly, the son-in-law has passed out outside."

Several women worked together to carry Chen Fang into the house. His body was already completely soaked, and the skin exposed on his body was already cold. If it wasn't for the fact that he was still breathing and his heart was still warm, he might scare the women to death.

"Go and call Miss Qingyu, go!"

Bai Ya had the longest legs, she had already carried the oil-paper umbrella, and ran to Fangzhu's courtyard.

"Sister Caiyi, what happened to the son-in-law?"

"Don't be dazed, take off the wet clothes of the son-in-law, and quickly put them in the warm bedding."

"My quilt is still warm, put it in my quilt."

"I'll warm up the son-in-law!"

There Xueli had already taken off his little clothes, Chen Fang was lying on the quilt, Xueli and Yinye slept on either side of him respectively, tightly hugging the cold body of the son-in-law.

When Bai Ya and Lin Qingyu ran back, Chen Fang had already slightly opened his eyes. Lin Qingyu examined it carefully before letting out a long breath.

At this time, it was obvious that Lin Qingyu was not talking as much as in the past, and was taking care of the son-in-law seriously.

On October [-], the Dunhuang branch of Tang Gongfang was breached, and more than [-] people in the workshop were killed, except for a baby.

It was also on this day that the Han army led by King Pingnan of the Northern Han Dynasty, the Allied Army of the Western Regions led by King Loulan of the Western Regions, the cavalry of the Huns led by the Hun King of the Eastern Huns, the Tubo soldiers led by the King of Tubo, and those who betrayed the Tang Dynasty and joined the Western Qin army The Yongzhou soldiers led by Xu Wang Li Sujie launched a fierce attack on Guanzhong, the heart of the Tang Dynasty, from three directions, which was known as the Five Kings Rebellion in history.

At dawn, Chen Fang got up from the cave and asked Dingyu to fetch his Tang saber.

"Master, your body?"

"No problem, Dingyu, accompany me to Xiaoguan today, and defeat the Northern Han army within two days."

When the snow eagle came, Chen Fang put the Tang Dao given to him by King Xu in his waist, and Dingyu led him onto Xueying's back. The high-altitude Feng Dingyu blocked it for his master. After all, I have been slack this year. If I hadn't slacked off, I should have been able to withstand the high-altitude wind by now.

Chapter 806

Be prepared for danger in times of peace, people have to be prepared for danger in times of peace at any time, it is too leisurely in Tang Gongfang, so that Chen Fang has been slacking off for a long time, basically spending the past few months with his wife and children.

The Snow Eagle landed in the valley of the Long Mountains, with the majestic Xiaoguan Defense Group in front of it.

All the large passes in Guanzhong are not actually a single pass as some people in later generations think. They seem to stand there like a gate tower like in countless photos.

A large pass is actually a huge defensive community, and the various settings in it are extremely rigorous.

At this time, Chang'an was the heartland of the Tang Dynasty. In the past, how many dynasties established their capitals here. Since the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, this place has long been the birthplace of Chinese civilization. Haojing, Xianyang, Chang'an, Zhou Dynasty, Qin and Han, how many The dynasty painstakingly managed the defense of Guanzhong.

Guanzhong Guanzhong, among the passes, Xiaoguan, one of the four passes that symbolize Guanzhong, has almost all the defense layers in the mountains and valleys, not as thin as some people think.

Chen Fang and Ding Yu jumped off Xue Ying's back, where soldiers had already surrounded them.

"Receive the weapon, it's the son-in-law!"

"Who is guarding Xiao Guan now?"

"Returning to the son-in-law, General Qin and General Zhao are defending Xiaoguan together at this time. The last general will take the son-in-law to meet the two generals."

When Chen Fang saw Qin Huaidao and Zhao Rong, smoke and dust gradually filled the ancient Xiaoguan Road in the distance, and countless flags and weapons intertwined into a sea under the noon snow.

Yes, when we got here, the rain had already turned into snow, and there was already a layer of snow on the ground.

The horseshoes stepped on the snow, raising roads of snow dust, and the snow dust filled the air, forming an overwhelming piece of snow with the flying snow in the air.

The billowing snow and dust dissipated, and the Han army flag belonging to the Han army was hunting in the wind and snow.

"Master, we came at the right time, the army horses of the Northern Han Dynasty have arrived."

As soon as Dingyu finished speaking, a silver-armored officer ran up the pass from below the pass.

"Master Consort, my name is Chai Wu, Lord Consort, this time you are here in person, we won't lose Xiao Guan and run away again! I have brought my army here from the Great Wall, and I can't run anymore gone."

"I can't run, but can I move if I kill the enemy?"

"My son-in-law, we are going to fight to the death with the Han army at Xiaoguan. I don't know about the other troops. Our Great Wall frontier army is ready at any time. Chai Wu is now calling for the battle, willing to fight the first battle with the Han army."

"How can I let General Chai go in the first battle? This is Xiao Guan, so naturally I, Xiao Guan's defenders, will go."

"Hey, General Zhao, I ran all the way here, and the soldiers under me are all screaming, if we don't let us kill the enemy, I can't restrain my brothers under me anymore."

"Didn't you run all the way, and you have no energy to continue running. The defenders of the Great Wall should cultivate for a few more days. In this first battle, I, the defenders of Xiaoguan, should fight against the Han army. We are here to recharge our batteries and deal with exhaustion. The incoming Han army."

Chen Fang looked at the two generals who were blushing and pressed their hands, and the two generals stopped arguing.

At this time, several generals from the city ran to the pass, all of them were officers guarding other places, and they gave up the defense of the position according to Chen Fang's order, and retreated all the way to Xiaoguan.

Among them are the guards in the Hetao area, the Yellow River area, and the northern army town.

Seeing so many generals running here together, Chen Fang hurriedly pressed his hand again, he didn't dare to let so many people take the lead.He understands that all the armies want to fight hard to kill the enemy, but it is really uncomfortable to argue about it.

"Don't be impatient, generals. My son-in-law knows everyone's mood at this time. Everyone has a chance to kill the enemy, but we have to deal with the artillery of the Northern Han Dynasty first."

"Master, it seems that this Northern Han army has no artillery, only light cavalry."

"Only light cavalry?"

At this time above Xiaoguan, a few telescopes were already in the hands of several guards. This was the first batch of telescopes rushed out from Ziwuling Branch, and they were finally delivered to the border before the war started.

Chen Fang checked the Han army coming through the binoculars, and sure enough, the enemy only had Qingqi, and there were no other troops.

"My son-in-law, what's going on? Is the other party cheating."

"What do you generals think?"

"My son-in-law, I think this is a god-given opportunity. It must be that the Han army chased us and couldn't catch up, so Qingqi left the team and went first."

"My son-in-law, according to the marching speed of the Han army, if they have to take care of the baggage and artillery, their marching speed will never be so fast."

"Qin Huaidao, you command the artillery battalion to reinforce Xiao Guan, what do you think is the situation of the other side?"

"My son-in-law, if you want to transport the cannon, the other party will not be able to catch up with Xiao Guan at this time."

At this moment, in the opposite Han army formation, three riders had left the brigade and rushed towards Xiao Guan.

Through the binoculars, one can see the arrogant appearance of the other party. They have gone through many battles from the Great Wall to Xiaoguan. The Tang Jun on the other side ran away when they saw them, like a mouse seeing a mouse.

Originally, the prince did not let the cavalry and the brigade separate, fearing that the other party would cheat, retreated in western clothes, and ambushed his own cavalry.

But this has been fought from the Great Wall to Xiaoguan, and there is no such thing as an ambush. Tang Jun was scared out of his wits, and only knew to run away blindly, so there was no time to set up an ambush.

Just two days ago, the prince finally allowed the cavalry to go ahead and chase the fleeing Tang army.

There is no such thing as underestimating the enemy. How can Tang Jun need them underestimating the enemy at this time? A group of cowardly and cowardly guys.

During the two days of chasing, the Han army galloped on horseback, but the Tang army fled too quickly. They didn't even fight a decent battle along the way, so they took hundreds of scattered soldiers from the opponent, and these scattered soldiers did not resist. Seeing that he couldn't run away, he simply surrendered.

From the Great Wall to Xiaoguan, the momentum is like a broken bamboo, but it always makes people feel sullen, as if the knife is held high, but there is no head for him to slash.

Yesterday, the cavalry of the Han army separated again, moving forward with light cavalry and retreating with heavy cavalry, and arrived at Xiaoguan as soon as possible.

That's why the Han army was able to rush to Xiaoguan so quickly.
