Chapter 1677
Chapter 1677
In the yellow sand desert, the strong wind swept over, and the gravel rolled over in the air. There was a yellow land between heaven and earth.
This is the border, thousands of miles of yellow sand, uninhabited.
On this barren land, there is a magnificent city, covering an area of hundreds of square kilometers. The city wall made of huge black stones tightly wraps the whole city like a giant in armor.
This is the border of the eastern Tang Dynasty, known as the town edge city of Tianmen pass.
Hu Zhengtang, the town general of the eastern Tang Dynasty, led a large army stationed here all year round to resist foreign enemies in exchange for peace in China.
Hu Zhengtang fought for many years, leaving countless scars on his body, and his character was tempered as hard as iron.
It is said that this gentleman was wounded by a poisonous arrow. During the process of scraping his bones and healing his wounds, he just didn't hum. He can be said to be a real tough man.
Today, however, the hard-blooded man is full of fear and frustrations.
Everything is because of a young man sitting in front of him.
He was dressed in white, with a handsome face and a kind smile, giving people the feeling of spring breeze.
But Rao is so, Hu Zhengtang's heart is more empty.
"General Hu, what do you think of me?" The young man picked up the tea cup and said with a smile.
Hu Zhengtang wiped a sweat and said with a smile, "you can be called a generation of wise monarch with both wisdom and courage."
"Do you think I'm a fool?"
"This... Of course not."
"Then why don't you let me go to the battlefield!"
As soon as the young man patted the table, he roared, "do you despise me?"
"I dare not!"
Hu Zhengtang knelt on the spot and cried endlessly in his heart.
God, why is this ancestor here?
This man is Xu Kuan, who is on the imperial expedition.
After several days of trekking, Xu Ke and his party, escorted by the imperial palace guards, successfully came to Tianmen pass.
At first, Hu Zhengtang didn't take it seriously.
After all, the first Emperor didn't do it in those years. It's not much different from the leaders' inspection in the countryside. It's just sitting in Tianmen pass waiting to listen to the war report.
While Hu Zhengtang was thinking about how to perform better and strive to show the momentum of the border army in front of the current emperor, Xu que found him.
"Lao Hu, I want to lead the army to kill the enemy."
"Your Majesty, what did you just say? Weichen's ears are not very good."
"I want to fight and kill the enemy!"
"Oh... Your majesty, are you going to fight to kill the enemy?"
"Yes!"
"Are you kidding!"
Hu Zhengtang was surprised at that time.
He's at the border, but the news hasn't stopped. He knows all the things Xu hasn't done in the past two years.
Destroying the five surnames and seven hopes, building roads, building private libraries, setting up schools and conducting scientific examinations are all good things for the country and the people.
Especially since Xu Kuang came to power, the military expenditure at the border was sufficient, which made Hu Zhengtang change his outlook on Xu Kuang. He thought that the emperor of the eastern Tang Dynasty finally woke up and wanted to be a Ming monarch.
At this time, you told me you were going to fight the enemy?
Don't be funny. The news didn't say you would fight!
For the sake of Xu Que's safety, Hu Zhengtang simply did not agree to Xu Que's request and resolutely did not allow his safety consideration.
In Hu Zhengtang's words, the emperor should do what the emperor should do. Don't always think about what you have or don't have. In case you die on the battlefield, you don't have to fight this war.
Of course Xu Ke doesn't like it.
I personally said that I would cut off the head of the king of Qin. If I didn't do it, I would break my promise.
A man should keep his word and cut his head if he says to cut his head!
"Dang!"
"Dang!"
"Dang!"
While they were arguing, a harsh gong sounded.
At the border, even three-year-old children know that the sound of gongs represents the beginning of the war, allowing people to return to their houses for refuge.
As soon as Hu Zhengtang's face changed, he arched his hands and said, "please rest here. The last general is going to command on the front line now!"
Then he hurried away. As soon as Xu lacked his eyes, he was about to follow up, but he was stopped by several soldiers.
"Your Majesty, the general has ordered us to protect your safety." A soldier said respectfully, "the emperor is a Ming monarch. Don't go to the risk in person."
"Please stay here!"
The soldiers spoke in unison.
Xu que had no choice but to return to the house.
Xuanyuan Wanrong came out from behind and said in a slow voice, "give up. They respect you very much now, so they won't let you take risks."
After these two years, Xuanyuan Wanrong's impression of Xu Ke has improved.
It has to be said that this bastard really has a strong ability to govern the country as he said.
Today's East Tang Dynasty is several times stronger than two years ago.
