Chasing Li Yong could not let Wu Nian out of his sorrow.
Wu Nian raised his head and said to the ministers: "Feng Chong, Wang Gui, and Zhang Sheng are staying. Everyone else can go down."
"Yes." The civil and military officials immediately bowed in response and turned around to go down together.
"Father. The next step is a long-distance attack. Please take care of yourself and don't be too sad." Wu Min bent down and said without leaving.
"I know. Go down." Wu Nian smiled and waved towards his son.
Then, Wu Nian raised his head and said to the eunuch accompanying him: "Prepare the wine and food."
"Let's have a good drink." He said to Feng Chong, Zhang Sheng and Wang Gui again.
"Yes." Everyone responded in unison.
It was already close to meal time, and the emperor's royal meal had been prepared in Yumen Pass. Soon, the tables and chairs were brought up.
Immediately, hot dishes and drinks were served one by one.
Wu Nian invited the three of them to sit down, and waved his hand to ask the eunuch who was planning to come up to serve the wine to leave. He picked up the wine flask and filled it for himself and the three of them.
Feng Chong and the others did not dare to sit down and quickly stood up.
When the wine was full, Wu Nian picked up the wine glass and said to the three of them: "Respect Lao Li."
"Respect Lao Li." The three of them raised their glasses in return, and the four of them drank the glass of wine together.
"Okay. Eat and drink to your heart's content." Wu Nian put away his sorrow and laughed loudly. He first picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of braised pork, put it in his mouth, and ate it like a wind.
When Wang Gui, Zhang Sheng and Feng Chong saw this, they also ate with the emperor.
Everyone exchanged cups.
A table full of food and wine was not enough to eat. Wu Nian asked people to serve the food, which was enough for a table and a half. Everyone was full of wine and food.
Wu Nian ate a little too much, slumped down on the chair, patted his belly, and said with a smile: "I remember when I was at Beishan Fort."
"My idea is very simple. If I can eat and drink enough, I can just be a minor official. It's so simple. I never imagined that I would be here today."
"Who says it's not the case? There were no clothes in the winter, and the salary was not enough to eat, so I had to carry it with my body. There was draft everywhere in the house. It was raining heavily outside and light rain at home. Haha."
Zhang Sheng nodded and laughed.
"Don't mention it. You can all rely on your body to resist. I, a sick man, almost died several times." Wang Gui waved his hand and said.
Five brothers, Li Yong, Wu Nian, Zhang Sheng, Wang Gui and Tieniu, sleep on the same bed. They all have their own strengths.
Li Yong is the eldest and has a calm personality.
Tieniu is a good soldier.
Zhang Sheng is an ordinary soldier.
Wang Gui was frail and sickly.
It took Wu Nian thirty years to take the world by storm with this group of crooked brothers. These brothers are also trying their best.
Li Yong relied on talent and diligence to work as a secondary assistant for many years.
Others are capable of leading thousands of households, commanding troops to fight, and setting up camps.
Since Wu Nian fulfilled them, it was also they who fulfilled Wu Nian.
Without them, Wu Nian would not be what he is today.
Feng Chong was speechless and looked envious. Although he is also a veteran of the emperor, compared with Wang Gui, Zhang Sheng and others, he is still a little inferior.
Why.
It's really late to get involved.
Alas, alas.
After the old brothers had had their fill of wine and food, they sat together chatting, bragging, and reminiscing about their youthful years, which was very enjoyable.
However, everyone was tired when they rode horses from Lanzhou City to Yumen Pass. After half an hour, Wu Nian couldn't talk anymore and announced that the meeting was adjourned.
Accompanied by the eunuch, he entered the bedroom and fell asleep.
Early tomorrow morning, we need to deploy troops quickly and send troops to Urumqi. The Han army's 40,000 soldiers, except for a small number of guard troops, all took a rest.
The entire Yumen Pass was very quiet.
Early the next morning.
The Huotou Army buried the pot to cook rice, the smoke rose, and the aroma of hot dishes and hot soup filled the air above the Yumen Gate. The energetic soldiers lined up neatly and went to get food.
After eating, the soldiers first loaded the military supplies onto their horses, then got on their horses, and left Yumen Pass in an orderly manner, preparing to go on an expedition.
Wu Nian also got up early and had breakfast that was 80% full. Then with the help of the Ouchi guards, he put on his armor, hung up his steel sword, strode out of Guanling Mansion, mounted his horse, and came to the gate of Yumenguan City.
After thinking for a while, Wu Nian got off his horse and climbed up the city wall along the stairs. The civil and military ministers who followed him all showed doubts, then they also got off their horses and came to the top of the city.
Wu Nian stood in front of the city gate tower, holding the handle of the steel knife at his waist with his left hand, facing the biting cold wind, and raised his head to look ahead.
There are 40,000 Han cavalrymen, many of whom are wearing armor. Their fish scales are gleaming in the sun, their horses are neighing, their flags are flying, and their murderous intent is rising into the sky.
Looking ahead, there is a piece of yellow sand.
Life is so fragile in this Gobi desert terrain.
Western Regions since ancient times. Or also called Xinjiang. There are only a handful of Central Plains dynasties that have truly conquered this land.
Now Wu Nian stands in front of Yumen Pass, commanding Han soldiers to conquer the Western Regions. Romantic emotions naturally arise in my heart.
Yumen Pass, Yumen Pass, so many things happened in ancient and modern times.
How many literary giants have written poems for it.
Far up the Yellow River among the white clouds, there is an isolated city called Wanren Mountain.
Why bamboo flute complain willow, spring is not degree Pass.
Chanyu looked north at Fuyundui, killed horses and mounted the altar to offer sacrifices several times.
The emperor of the Han Dynasty is so powerful now that he refuses to come back and get married.
Wu Nian looked at the west for a long time, and finally couldn't bear the emotion in his heart. He turned to the ministers and said, "I like Liu Han, but Cao Cao is also a hero."
"This situation, his poems are very suitable for me."
Wu Nian chanted: "Although the divine turtle has a long life, it still has its time.
A soaring snake rides on the mist, but ends up in ashes.
The old man is brave and ambitious, and his ambition is thousands of miles.
In his old age, the martyr is full of ambition.
The period of profit and contraction is not only in the sky.
The blessing of nourishing happiness can lead to eternal life.
Fortunately, even singing praises one's aspirations. "
"I am old, but my journey has just begun. In this battle, the Turks will be destroyed and the Western Region will be leveled. Hahahaha."
Wu Nian laughed loudly, turned around and strode down the city, turned over, mounted his horse, and walked out of Yumen Pass.
Wen and Wu, who followed Wu Nian, heard the heroic words in Wu Nian's words and couldn't help but feel excited. They hurriedly caught up with him, got on their horses and left Yumen Pass.
Wu Nian reined in his horse and stopped, looking up at the dark mass of Han cavalry ahead. He raised the golden riding crop in his hand and shouted: "Athletes."
"Where does my riding whip point?"
"The West." The Han soldiers were a little confused, but they reacted very quickly and shouted loudly.
"Okay. Conquer the west." Wu Nian laughed and ordered: "Send troops."
"Yes." The generals responded loudly. Then Feng Chong and Wu Min led the troops in front, while Wang Gui and Zhang Sheng guarded the emperor and his civil and military followers.
The Han family has 40,000 cavalry and 200,000 horses, and ten thousand horses are galloping towards the west.
The sound of the horses' hooves sounded like war drums, and the dust kicked up was like a demonic wind.
The yellow sand is rolling.
The Yumen Pass behind them gradually disappeared.
The Han family was strong and powerful, and the emperor whipped his whip and went to war.
