After Xu Yunyan showed his extraordinary literary accomplishment, no one at the banquet dared to look down on Xu Yunyan here.
Taking this opportunity, Zhang Gongjin was finally able to ask Xu Yunyan how he defeated the Turks in the North.
After Xu Yunyan completely told Zhang Gongjin what he had experienced, Zhang Gongjin couldn't help but sigh.
"There are so many righteous people in the North, and I am not as good as them."
Xu Yunyan felt a little proud to be praised like this inexplicably. Being called a righteous man by the general of the dynasty, presumably the Yunzhou generals who died in the battle could rest in peace.
During this turbulent time in Luoyang, Xu Yunyan, who had left behind a bit of his own legend, bid farewell to Zhang Gongjin in the early morning of the next day, and headed towards Chang'an with his majestic Zhe Chongfu soldiers.
This time, as a general, Zhang Gongjin actually sent Xu Yunyan out of Luoyang ten miles away with some confidants. This was something Xu Yunyan did not expect.
Xu Yunyan is not a ungrateful person. After leaving Zhang Gongjin, he kept thinking about how he and Zhang Gongjin would serve Li Shimin, the one emperor through the ages. But what he didn't know was that after he left, Zhang Gongjin sent an urgent letter to him. After the writing was completed, he was handed over to a confidant and sent to the Prince of Qin's Mansion in Chang'an during the starry night.
The convoy set off again, and this time without any incident, it traveled safely along the official road towards Chang'an. When they were traveling towards Chang'an, there were many counties and counties along the way that had the same plan as them.
Some people from the yamen escorted some supplies to Chang'an, all to celebrate Li Yuan's birthday. However, these teams were far behind the Zhechong Mansion soldiers led by Xu Yunyan from Chuzhou.
Xu Yunyan's hundreds of carts stretching for several miles looked so majestic under the protection of the soldiers, while the other one or two carts with more than a hundred people were already as high as the sky, and some were even worse. Pushing a trolley with a few boxes on it can be considered a gift all over the place.
This team is getting bigger and bigger, from the original few thousand to tens of thousands. Now Xu Yunyan can't help but think that it would be interesting to meet the green forest hero who is robbing families and shooting.
Isn’t this the time to rob the rich and give to the poor?
The previous dynasty offered gifts to Emperor Yang of Sui, but there were many robbers who came out to rob homes and homes in the name of robbing the rich and giving to the poor. Among them, Cheng Yaojin, the official of the Lu State, was the most famous.
However, it may be that Xu Yunyan does have the attribute of a crow's mouth. Just when he was here thinking that he would not encounter any robbers, there suddenly started to be noisy ahead.
"What's going on? Are you really being robbed? It can't be such a coincidence, right?"
Xu Yunyan said this and waved his hand. A team from Zhechongfu hurriedly led 50 Zhechongfu cavalry to the front to see what was going on.
Although this road is full of teams offering gifts to Emperor Li Yuan, this is the only one who has sent out troops to escort supplies, and there is no other one.
Soon, the cavalry came closer and dispersed the noisy crowd. It turned out that the rugged and difficult mountain road ahead was blocked by a landslide, leaving them wondering what to do.
If there was a detour, the whole team would have to retreat a long way before they could find a path to cross the landslide. Xu Yunyan didn't even think about it at this time.
However, for the sake of safety, and even more so for speed, Xu Yunyan waved his hand and said, "Detour!"
However, Xu Yunyan and the others wanted to take a detour, but there were too many teams of caulking supplies behind them. There were people in front of them and some behind them. If they wanted to take a detour, they had to let the people behind them get out of the way.
However, the teams at the rear didn't know what was going on in front. They kept crowding forward, but the road was blocked.
Who could have imagined how embarrassing it would be to move forward but not be able to move forward or retreat but not be able to retreat on the same road?
Landslides are caused by excessive moisture, and excessive moisture is caused by rain, and what Xu Yunyan and the others are escorting now is salt.
The biggest fear of salt is that it will be washed away by rain. At that time, it was unknown how much of a bag of salt would be left after being washed away by rain.
Just when Xu Yunyan was meeting here, the gods were not kind and it really started to rain, which completely frightened Xu Yunyan.
After the first raindrops fell, Xu Yunyan knew something was wrong and hurriedly shouted, "Hurry up and cut down the trees nearby to cover all the carriages."
At this moment, Xu Yunyan regretted not preparing waterproof materials. Trees can only be cut down temporarily to use branches and leaves to block the erosion of salt by rainwater.
Xu Yunyan immediately arranged for the soldiers of Zhechong Prefecture to go out and cut down trees, giving the people together an opportunity to get close to the carriage.
After a long period of transportation on this carriage, the sacks on it were rubbed by salt, and traces of salt were exposed in some places. Some people were curious and came forward to see what it was.
They were shocked when they discovered it was salt.
"The carriage is full of salt? Isn't that impossible? Where can there be such a large amount of salt? How could it be presented to His Majesty?"
While Xu Yunyan was here worryingly cutting down trees to cover the carriage and prevent rain from washing away the salt, these people started shouting here.
This made Xu Yunyan even more irritable. He was already uncomfortable. Now that it's raining, there may be a problem with the salt. Are you challenging my patience by shouting here?
Just when Xu Yunyan was about to get angry, those sensible people hurriedly said, "Salt? Are you sure? If it is salt, it must be covered with waterproof tarpaulin, and it cannot be washed away by rain. This salt But for the gifts given to His Majesty, let us take out the extra tent cloth and cover them first, so as to reduce the loss."
No one thought that after discovering Yanba, these people would actually start to help them cover these carriages, which made Xu Yunyan feel a little sad that he had overthought it.
Nowadays, peace in the world all depends on His Majesty's martial arts skills. Although it is said so on the surface, secretly it has a lot to do with Li Yuan's choice of timing and the generals he arranged. As for him, being a faint king is still a bit similar.
Otherwise, who would have thought of beheading Du Fuwei and killing Xiao Tong, the two surrendered emperors or the Tu emperors? Let their subordinates complain against the Tang Dynasty.
Although the emotion is emotion, Li Yuan is still in power now, so he can only suppress these complaints in his stomach. After discovering that most of the temporary team marching together are so enthusiastic, Xu Yunyan also helped each other to get through with them. The slippery path.
Then they supported each other along the way and provided them with some salt for food on the road. With such support, they arrived at Chang'an City happily, a little faster than before.
