The next day, Luo Bingwang woke up and packed his bags to leave this black-hearted inn. A hundred wen a night? Was he robbing?
Last night, he couldn't resist the hunger in his stomach. He found this ordinary-looking inn and thought that the things should be cheaper!
He thought about how he had smelled the fragrance of the Vermillion Bird Immortal Restaurant yesterday and endured the pain to get the waiter to serve two signature dishes, which cost him 150 wen!
However, there was no fragrance from the Vermillion Bird Immortal Restaurant at all. Thinking that the waiter was fooling him, he immediately quarreled with him!
Who knew that the waiter would insist that the taste of the dishes was like this? In addition, the shopkeeper was tall and burly, with a fierce face. When he spoke, his eyes would occasionally flash with a fierce light. Luo Bingwang did not dare to compete anymore and could only pay the money obediently!
He had spent 250 wen in a short night, and this was even when he did not order any wine. Luo Bingwang truly felt the high cost of the capital!
And the filthy faces of these merchants. For the sake of money, they really did not even care about their conscience. They were crude and made to make up for the numbers!
Unknowingly, he walked to the front door of the Vermillion Bird Immortal Restaurant again. Seeing that the door was not open yet, he secretly cursed Yang Xuan for being lazy as he sat at the door and looked at the streets of Chang 'an!
For some reason, it was still early in the morning, but the streets were already filled with people. There were even messengers shuttling back and forth!
As if something big had happened, many of the peddlers lowered their voices, afraid that they would offend the big shots!
Bingwang Luo looked around curiously. He had never heard of any war happening anywhere along the way!
Around noon, soldiers in armor and sabers stood at the entrance of the Imperial City. Everyone's faces were filled with excitement!
It was still the early Tang Dynasty, not far from the chaos of the Sui Dynasty. Many people were veterans who had experienced war!
Only battle achievements were the proof of bequeathing a wife and children and immediately becoming a marquis!
In addition, they were all familiar with the Eastern Turks. When the Eastern Turks had wreaked havoc in the Great Tang, they had been itching to fight to the death!
Now that the war had finally begun, it was time for them to take revenge and wash away their previous humiliation!
At the front, Li Shiming was followed by a beautiful middle-aged woman. She wore a glazed crown and a plain palace dress. She was peerless and beautiful!
"Li Jing!" Li Shi Min said.
Among the generals standing in the front row, Li Jing, who was wearing armor, bowed and cupped his hands."Your subject is here!"
Li Shi Min looked at him with an inexplicable expression and said in a deep voice,""For this expedition to the Eastern Turks, We have conferred upon you the title of Eastern Marshal. What else do you have to say?”
"I hereby swear that I will not return to the court until the Eastern Turks are destroyed!”Li Jing replied loudly!
When the soldiers saw the boldness of their commander, their hearts were roused and their desire to fight grew even stronger. Even their commander dared to make a military pledge, so why would they cherish their lives?
"Good!" Li Shi Min said boldly and looked at Li Ta with admiration. Li Jing was good at using troops and strategies, so he believed that Li Jing would not disappoint him!
"Li Ji!"
"Your subject is here!" Someone stepped forward and said!
"I'll appoint you as the Deputy Commander of the Eastern Expedition!"
"Yes, as long as the Eastern Turks are not destroyed, this subject will not return to the court!”
"Cheng Yaojin!"
......
As Li Shiming announced his name, the generals came forward to listen to his orders. Although their positions and tasks were different, everyone made a military pledge in a loud voice!
As long as the Eastern Turks were not destroyed, they would not return!
It was not only to avenge their previous humiliation, but also to put pressure on them. They had to cut off their retreat path so that they could advance forward!
Li Shi Min gave out the tasks one by one and looked at his old brothers again. Although the layout of this battle was strictly prohibited and everything had been arranged, the battlefield was changing rapidly. No one knew what would happen!
"Go!"
"Yes, sir!"
The generals nodded. Li Jing sat on a dark horse, and with a murderous aura, he slowly walked to the other side of the path that the soldiers had opened up!
"Let's go!"
"Dong dong dong dong"
The soldiers on the side beat drums to cheer for the soldiers. The sound of the drums was so loud that the entire Chang 'an Fortress could hear it clearly!
All the people in Chang 'an finally realized what the army was going to do!
These were the soldiers who were about to go to war!
The soldiers set off from the gate of the Imperial City along the streets of Chang 'an to the gate of Chang' an City. There were only 10,000 soldiers here.
However, the army looked solemn, and their steps were rigorous. Their footsteps shook the ground, and their eyes were filled with fighting spirit. Their momentum was indomitable!
There were a total of one hundred thousand soldiers in this expedition, and the rest of the army was stationed in various parts of the Great Tang, gathering at the Hexi Corridor at the border of the Great Tang!
There were tens of thousands of people, and there was no end to them. On both sides of the streets of Chang 'an, countless people were sending off these soldiers who were about to go out!
There were their fathers, husbands, sons, or neighbors in the workshop, but they all had the same title at this moment!
Soldiers!
At the same time, the doors of the Vermillion Bird Immortal Restaurant opened. Yang Xuan and Wu Meiniang stood in front of the door and watched the soldiers who were about to go out!
For some reason, Yang Xuan suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of pride and respect!
He was proud of being a Tang, proud of the Great Tang's impending prosperity, proud of his arrival in this era!
And finally, respect for these soldiers!
No matter what kind of character these people usually had or what kind of sneaky things they had done, they were all worthy of respect at this moment!
The 10,000 soldiers walked for half an hour before the entire team completely left Chang 'an Fortress and headed into the distance!
He was like a hungry tiger that could not endure its hunger. When the tiger entered the forest, all beasts would submit!
Even Cheng Yaojin, who was usually the most boisterous, did not look around when he passed by the Vermillion Bird Immortal Restaurant this time. Instead, his face was solemn!
Everyone knew that this was a fierce battle, a decisive battle in which there would be you and no me. The Great Tang had only recovered some of its strength in the past few years!
If they lost this battle, the Eastern Turks and the other foreign tribes would think that the Great Tang was a tiger made of paper that they could bully as they pleased!
And that was precisely the time when the Great Tang was at its weakest. Thus, victory was the only option!
When he returned triumphantly in the future, he would go to the Vermillion Bird Immortal Restaurant to eat and drink!
......
Yang Xuan shook his head gently, dispelling the inexplicable feeling in his heart. He did not like this feeling. Having worries meant trouble!
And he was someone who did not want trouble!
Wu Meiniang looked in the direction of the disappearing team and muttered,"Shopkeeper, do you think we can win?”
Although her father had been killed by Li Shiming, Wu Meiniang did not wish for the Great Tang to lose this war, because the terror of war was so terrifying that even the older generation would be terrified!
"Yes, the Great Tang will continue to win!”Yang Xuan thought for a moment and said. Of course, he had another thought in his heart. At least for now!
After Li Shiming succeeded to the throne, not counting the alliance at the Wei River, this war to destroy the Eastern Turks was the true beginning of the Zhenguan Era!
With the development of the economy, Chang 'an City became the largest and most prosperous city in the world!
