Zhang Xiancun had already met Li Congzhao's young daughter, and it was no surprise that the young lady of the Li family was very beautiful.
If you think about it, you will know that Li Congzhao's family has been a strong family for several generations, and has also been a feudal lord. After several generations of genetic improvement, it would be too exaggerated to make an ugly woman.
But Zhang Xiancun was not very happy. On the surface, he felt that Li Congzhao's family's status was too low and their help to him was too little.
This kid completely ignored the power of a team composed of experienced farmers who were good at farming and barefoot doctors.
You must know that this combination, in the early days of the Republic of China, was still supported and operated by the central government. To put it bluntly, it was a powerful tool for controlling poor border areas. But now I, the eldest prince, look down upon it.
But in fact, the real reason why Zhang Xiancun was unhappy was that he was dissatisfied with his future, but he didn't dare to say it, so he used Li Congzhao's family status to talk about it.
The reason why he was dissatisfied with his future was because after he went to Chengdu Mansion with Pei Yuan last time, he followed Guo Rong to Nanxi Mansion. What he saw on the ground made him feel chilled.
According to Zhang Xiancun's original imagination, the Dali Kingdom was prosperous for a while during the Great Dynasty, and the Nanzhao Kingdom could dominate the Great Dynasty.
After that, the Dachanghe Kingdom established by the Han Zheng Maisi and the Dayi Ning Kingdom established by the Han Yang Qianzhen appeared successively.
It is the current Duan Dali Kingdom. Although its founding emperor Duan Siping is white (Bai ethnic group), the difference between white people and Han people is actually not big.
The surname is Han. The language is almost the same as that of Han, and can even be regarded as a dialect.
The customs and customs are very similar to those of the Han people, and like the Han people at that time, they mostly believed in Buddhism.
Once he understood this, Zhang Xiancun's little mind naturally imagined a local power that was only slightly worse than Shu.
Although the name of Yangjumei City (Old City of Dali), the capital of Dali, is weird, it is not much different from Chengdu.
When we arrived at the place, we found that Nanxi Prefecture, which was only 500 miles away from Chengdu Prefecture, was a completely different world from Shuzhong, not to mention Yangju City, which was two thousand miles away.
This small Nanxi Fucheng with more than 20,000 people shattered Zhang Xiancun's illusions about the Dali Kingdom.
Zhang Yan looked at his son who was obviously not in a high mood and felt a little disappointed.
Originally, the qualities that Zhang Xiancun had shown to him, whether it was his vision or how to treat others, and his ability to imitate Corporal Zhang Lixian in a decent manner, and his ability to gather a group of people around him.
This made Zhang Hao feel that as his eldest son, he was enough to take on the important task of guarding one side, being the leader of a great country, and guarding the southwest border for the country.
But looking at it now, Zhang Hao ignored Zhang Xiancun's origin.
Especially people in this era like to be proud of their bloodline, which makes these qualities of him, just like the keyboard warrior Zhang Yan before time travel, he sees problems in mid-air, whether it is thoughts, understanding or experience. It never sank.
But this is not Zhang Xiancun’s fault. This kid's mother was the queen of Zhongyun Kingdom when he was born. Although the entire Zhongyun Kingdom has 60,000 to 70,000 people, the king of 60,000 to 70,000 people is also a king.
When he became a little wiser, the father, Zhang Yan, with the prestige that shocked Anxi and Hezhong, returned like a lightning storm riding on seven-colored clouds.
Then he first became the lord of Liangzhou, then unified Hexi, then captured Longyou, and now he became the emperor of the Great Dynasty.
As Zhang Xiancun, who has witnessed Zhang Gao's rapid rise to become a generational genius, he is naturally accustomed to big scenes and big patterns.
What he saw was the invincibility of his father and the entire Zhang Zhou Group, and what he heard was the pursuit of his father and even himself.
He had come all the way from Hexi and was about the same age as him. Regardless of his background, whether he was a wealthy family, a local marshal, a nephew or grandson, no matter how brilliant a young hero he was, as long as he saw Zhang Xiancun, they would all have to put their tail between their legs to please him.
In terms of ancestral blood, the sixth generation ancestor Zhang Yichao was a great loyal minister and hero who was famous in Beiting, Anxi and Longyou, Hexi, and was famous all over the world.
The tenth generation maternal ancestor Yuchi Sheng was also a world-famous loyal minister. The Yuchi family was a thousand-year-old wealthy family that had been in Khotan since the Han Dynasty.
The tenth generation's grandmother is the granddaughter of Emperor Rang of the Great Dynasty. Zhang Xiancun can be said to be one of the very few great dynasty clans with a complete chain of evidence after the bloodline of the great dynasty has withered and the genealogy has been scattered.
With such a background and such an environment, how is it possible for a fifteen-year-old to be down-to-earth at a young and arrogant age?
Therefore, the bigger blame for this problem lies in Zhang Yan's neglect of discipline and Li Ruoliu's doting.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yan decided to teach Zhang Xiancun and Zhang Xianyu a lesson.
After driving from Fengxiang to Tianshui, Zhang Hao finally found a family who was not doing well.
In today's Longyou, Hexi, almost every family has a son or nephew who followed Zhang Yan into the customs. Those who died in the battle were given high pensions, and those who did not die in the battle basically became nobles of the new dynasty. The only difference was the size.
In addition, Hexi and Longyou were the earliest and most thorough to carry out land equalization. The density of agricultural doctors in these two provinces reached almost one in every thirty households.
The per capita farmland is as high as more than 40 acres.
There are many PhDs in agriculture, and thanks to the livestock industry in Longyou, Hexi, there is basically no shortage of large animals to help cultivate the land.
During spring plowing and autumn harvest, the government will also coordinate and organize agricultural tools and manpower, and water conservancy and irrigation facilities are basically located in every township. These ensure that the output will not be low.
Every family has brothers and nephews who are fighting abroad, and everyone at home is armed with a gun and a bow. There are only a few soft persimmons, which puts an end to the harsh oppression from the government and powerful people.
Taken together, Hexi and Longyou can be said to be the most suitable paradise for ordinary people to live in the world today.
It is not easy to find a very poor family here.
.
.
This is a thatched house with mud as the walls and thatch mixed with tree branches as the roof.
There were only a pair of old men and two half-grown men in the house. The half-grown men were wearing tattered trousers and relatively complete tops, and their eyes were a little evasive when looking at people. This was not very common in Longyou, Hexi Province.
After the old woman came out to see the gift, she went to hide in the backyard. The old man stood hunched over, somewhat at a loss. What flashed across his face was not fear, but shame.
The reason why this happened, and why such a poor family could still exist in the suburbs of Tianshui Mansion, was because of the old man's two sons, Wen Da and Wen Zhong.
It's not that these two sons are incompetent, it's that they are too capable.
During the Zhou-Liao-Luoyang battle, when Zhang Yan was blocked in the Yang Canal by Yelu's house hostage, Wen Da came to the rescue with Murong Nobunaga. One man holding a divine arm bow shot and killed six Khitan Iron Harriers cavalry on the spot.
He was an invincible warrior who followed Murong Nobunaga and rushed into the Khitan Iron Cavalry first, defeating the Khitan Iron Harrier Army's 200 cavalry with more than thirty men.
In the battle between Meng Zhuze and Liu Yanzhen of the Southern Tang Dynasty, Wen Zhong jumped into the Bian River first, led more than ten men to seize more than ten warships of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and killed more than ten armored generals and soldiers of the Southern Tang Dynasty with heavy swords. Countless, even more brave and fearless than his boss Murong Yanzhao, who was famous for his bravery.
Then, the highlights of these two brothers ended here.
First, the two of them collaborated with others to hide the loot while cleaning the battlefield, and were investigated and punished by the military judge.
After being punished for meritorious service, he received benefits from local powerful people in Yangzhou City and helped these powerful people occupy other people's properties. He also robbed merchants and seized other people's wives and daughters.
After the incident, Zhang Yan was really in trouble! Finally, I felt how Zhuge Wuhou felt when he killed Ma Di with tears in his eyes.
Wen Da and Wen Zhong were rare warriors in Zhang Zhang's army. Wen Da was on the bank of Yangqu, and he was even more helpful in rescuing him, but military law was ruthless.
Zhang Gao reluctantly issued an order to be dealt with according to military law. Then the military judge sentenced Wen Zhongzhan to twenty years of hard labor and five years of hard labor, while Wen Da was directly beheaded.
In the end, Murong Nobunaga could not afford to kneel down in front of Zhang Yan, so he used his official rank as a guarantee to win the qualification for delayed disposal for the two brothers.
Later, in the battle with Guo Wei at the mouth of Hezhang Valley, Wen Da rushed into Guo Wei's personal guards with a desperate attitude. Guo Wei was so beaten that he had to retreat to the north bank of the Zhang River, and finally died heroically.
This qualification was begged for him by Murong Nobunaga. He did not want Wen Da, who had been following him for ten years, to be hacked to death by a military judge, but let him die gloriously on the battlefield.
Wen Zhongze survived, and his family spent all their property to atone for his sins. Now he follows Murong Nobunaga to enjoy the wind and snow by the Daling River in Jinzhou.
Because the two brothers were punished for violating military law, the equalization of land and other benefits in the family were deprived of them. Wen Da's wife also chose to abandon her son and run away because she couldn't stand the criticism of her neighbors.
The old ladies of the Wen family had an even harder time in Longyou, not least financially, but mainly because they were looked down upon by their neighbors and expelled from the family. Officials in Fuzhou and County and local strongmen all took the opportunity to suppress the situation.
Within a few years the whole family became embarrassed.
Zhang Yan asked Zhang Xiancun, Zhang Xianyu and Guo Rong to sit down.
It's exactly noon. Although people don't eat lunch at this time, they usually have lunch at ten in the morning and four or five in the afternoon. Rich people also have a midnight snack in the evening.
But Zhang Gao couldn't do it. He had to eat at twelve o'clock, and everyone around him knew Zhang Gao's rules. The accompanying servant of Shangshi Bureau was about to prepare a big meal, but Zhang Gao waved his hand and said to the old man of the Wen family.
"Since I'm at your house today, let's do as we please. If you eat well on weekdays, serve us the same."
The old man from the Wen family looked at Zhang Zhou in fear, and suddenly shook his head, "The despicable food someone eats is not enough to dedicate to a saint."
He doesn't mean mean by being mean, but the food is too simple and rough.
But Zhang Yan just wanted his two sons to see the real world, and what he wanted was this simple and rough food.
So he smiled and said to the old man of the Wen family: "The most precious thing in the world is the food that can feed people. There is no distinction between high and low. A certain person has been hungry. If you can eat it, so must I can eat it.”
Of course Zhang Shengren had been hungry. Without the self-mutilation of his body, he chanted Buddhist sutras in a Buddhist cave without eating, how would his time-traveling come about?
When the old man of the Wen family said that he ate cheap food, he was not modest at all.
A bowl of black millet, also known as sorghum rice, had a strange green color, presumably because a lot of wild vegetables were added to it.
A bowl of dark pickles that had been pickled for who knows how long. Zhang Yan couldn't even identify the sauce and vegetables in the pickles.
Apart from the pickles, the only other meal available was a bowl of vegetable soup served by the old man from the Wen family.
There were a few strips of white meat in the vegetable soup that seemed to have unknown origins. I guess the old lady from the Wen family had just made this bowl of vegetable soup. They probably couldn't eat those small strips of white meat on weekdays.
Then an even more terrifying scene appeared. The old man of the Wen family seemed to have just remembered. Perhaps he was afraid that the vegetable soup would be tasteless. He took out a small piece of purple-black vinegar cloth, wrapped it into a ball, and inserted it into an equally black cloth. In the clay pot, there is a little bit of the same sauce as Xiang's.
Seeing that the vinegar cloth was covered with black unknown substances that were still dripping down, the old man smiled with satisfaction, and then skillfully put them all into the vegetable soup and stirred them for a while, giving this green bowl of vegetables an earthy smell. The soup was filled with an unexpected dark halo.
The screams of Young Supervisor Dong on the side were raised to the top of his throat, and he almost shouted that someone had poisoned him, but he could only hold back his coughs with red face and ears.
Mist grass! Enough words.
Zhang Yan's heart was churning. Originally, he wanted to educate his two sons, but he might as well have overestimated the life of civilians in this era.
Looking at the large rice bowl and pickles in front of him, he felt that if he ate it, he might vomit it out.
So, I, Zhang Shengren, looked at Mr. Dong beside me and coughed lightly.
The meaning is very obvious. The food provided by this criminal's family, and you, the confidant of the young prisoner, are not here to share your worries, ah, it's wrong! Why don't you come and try to see if it's poisonous?
When Shaojian Dong saw the emperor's eyes, he felt numb and regretted in his heart.
If I had known earlier, I should have brought a few more Xiaohuangmen with me, alas! Who told him to always serve the emperor personally because he was afraid that others would rise to power?
Dong Shaojian asked for a tattered earthenware bowl from the old man of the Wen family. He originally wanted a set of tableware, but the Wen family didn't have any, so they only had this tattered earthenware bowl. Kuaizi also had two branches that the Wen family boy had just gone to find. .
Rough! When you swallow the sorghum rice, it feels like a steel knife is scraping your throat.
Smelly! That bowl of pickles, God knows when they were pickled. In addition to the dull salty taste, the stronger taste was that the salty taste had a strange odor.
fishy! Young Supervisor Dong couldn't help but want to grab the old man from the Wen family, shake him hard several times, and ask the plague-stricken thief what kind of vegetable the soup was made from.
You fucking served it up like a treasure, but it tasted like the soil from the ground that had been boiled directly.
Zhang Xiancun and Zhang Xianyu were both stunned. They looked at Shaojian Dong whose face turned green and his body was shaking.
As for that! Can you eat like this after just one meal?
Moreover, it was just a formality to let you try the poison a little bit. How could you eat almost all of it? What does the father eat?
With doubts, the two boys and the little black bear picked up the bowls together.
Before it even entered his mouth, Zhang Xiancun, who was extremely smart, immediately realized something was wrong.
Because the bowl of rice was right in front of him, but his eyes and nose clearly told him that this was not food and should be thrown away immediately.
Zhang Xianyu didn't think as fast as Zhang Xiancun. When Zhang Xiancun hesitated, he had already put a large piece of pickles into his mouth after two mouthfuls of rice.
Then, 'Ouch! Zhang Xiancun heard a sound of vomiting coming from his brother next to him.
He turned around and saw that Zhang Xianyu threw away his job, ran to the side at lightning speed and vomited.
As for the little black bear, his teeth were bared and his face was red, and he was eating very... well, it shouldn't be called delicious.
Zhang Xiancun looked down and saw that the little black bear's father, Zhang Zhaozhong, was stepping on the little black bear's big foot with great force.
Zhang Xiancun understood everything. Although he hadn't eaten yet, this test was obviously difficult.
Because after the second child, Zhang Xianyu, vomited, he was immediately caught by two guards, and then pressed hard in front of the 'dining table'.
Zhang Xiancun was just about to ask his father if he could not eat, but he saw that his father Zhang Shengren had already picked up the bowl, his face was extremely serious, and he swallowed it one bite at a time without any expression.
Zhang Xiancun had no choice but to suddenly understand why Dong Shaojian had to eat so much at once.
What a ruthless person! Zhang Xiancun gave Shaojian Dong a thumbs up in his mind. After eating so much in one go, he grinned and didn't even vomit.
With his mind spinning, Zhang Xiancun took a deep breath, carefully picked up a piece of pickles and stuffed it into his mouth.
Immediately, a strange stench shot up from his mouth straight into Tianling Gai. Zhang Xiancun couldn't resist it at all. He let out a scream and ran away in the direction that the second son, Zhang Xianyu, had just run.
In just five minutes, Zhang Xiancun vomited once and Zhang Xianyu vomited twice, with a pleading look in the little black bear's eyes.
Zhang Hao immediately stopped Kuai Zi, and then called the half-grown boy from the Wen family over.
After the Wen boy arrived, Zhang Yan personally served him a large bowl of rice, a large amount of pickles, and then topped it with a full bowl of vegetable soup.
The boy from the Wen family was stunned for a moment, and after he realized that Zhang Yan was indeed going to feed him, he immediately took it, and then he was in a hurry.
Those meals that Zhang Xiancun, Zhang Xianyu, Little Black Bear, and even Zhang Yan considered extremely disgusting and unpalatable, were all eaten by the Wen family boy in less than half a cup of tea.
Not only did he eat all the food, but he was still a little unsatisfied. Kuai Zi was not easy to use, so he simply used his fingers to stick the black millet rice mixed with vegetable soup on the edge of the bowl and put it into his mouth, and then licked the bowl clean. .
Zhang Yan looked at Zhang Xiancun and Zhang Xianyu seriously, then did not speak anymore, but picked up the bowl and started eating again.
The two boys didn't say anything anymore, and they mustered up the courage to eat one bite at a time.
Not to mention, after vomiting it once or twice, it doesn’t feel so hard to swallow anymore.
There was silence for a cup of tea. After finishing the meal, Zhang Hao pointed at the Wen boy whose pants were in tatters and said to Shaojian Dong.
"Give this boy a piece of cloth and let him make some clothes. Don't be so naked."
Unexpectedly, before Young Supervisor Dong spoke, the boy from the Wen family suddenly knelt down and started kowtowing repeatedly, "Sage, I don't want cloth, I want a war horse!"
Dong Shaojian was amused, "You are quite smart, a war horse is much more valuable than a piece of cloth."
Unexpectedly, the boy from the Wen family put his head on the ground and shouted loudly: "My family is poor and cannot afford a good war horse. Without a good war horse, I cannot practice riding skills well and cannot go out to fight. Weng Yu will continue to suffer here!"
Please ask the saint to give you a war horse! The servant is willing to risk his life to kill for the saint! "
The words are rough, but very true.
"What a good boy! Do you hate your father?" Zhang Hao sighed.
You can imagine what kind of discrimination such a child will suffer in Tianshui Mansion where everyone is proud of fighting for the country after their father and uncle broke the military law and their family was deprived of everything.
"Hate! I hate him so much! I will never be like him in the future!"
The boy from the Wen family knelt on the ground and cried loudly. Another younger boy also started crying next to him. These were the two sons left behind by Wen Da.
Zhang Gao suddenly turned around and shouted at the crowd behind him, "Wen Zhong, you thief and killer! Come out and see who is suffering because of your failure to abide by military laws?"
Among Zhang Gao's guards, following his roar, a man wearing a black robe and two scars on his face rolled out immediately. It was Wen Zhong. Zhang Gao had transferred him from the Anton Governor's Mansion. Come back.

After Wen Zhong got out, he knelt down in front of his father and cried loudly, not daring to get up.
The old man of the Wen family was stunned for a moment, then suddenly let out a wild beast-like howl, turned around, took out a bamboo stick as thick as a finger, and whipped it at Wen Zhong without thinking, until Wen Zhong's skin was torn apart. .
Wen Zhong didn't hide or cry out in pain, he just lay on the ground and cried loudly.
After beating the old man of the Wen family for more than ten times, the old lady of the Wen family ran out of the house violently, pushed the old man of the Wen family away, threw herself to the ground, hugged her son, and cried loudly.
Zhang Gao watched all this silently. When they all cried enough and the family bowed to Zhang Gao on the ground, Zhang Gao just sighed and pointed at Zhang Xiancun and said.
"Tianshui, you guys must not be able to stay any longer. Follow Shanshan Hou to Nanxi Mansion!"
After saying that, Zhang Gao kicked Wen Zhong hard, "Why the hell can't you control that thing under your crotch?
Look at how much harm I have done to your mother, and you still want me to interfere with military law to get you back. If you dare to commit any crime in the future when you go to Dali, you should end it yourself! "
Wen Zhong was kicked several steps away by Zhang Gao, and he cried even harder. This was of course not painful, but moved, "I know I made a mistake, and I will never dare to do it again!"
Zhang Hao took a deep breath, took a black pottery jar from the hands of the guards behind him, and placed it solemnly on the broken table where he had been eating.
The Wen family's wife cried loudly when she saw her. The two boys also seemed to understand something and started crying on the side.
Zhang Hao then pulled a wine flask from Barbarian Bear's waist, poured a full bowl of wine, and then poured it in front of Wen's house.
At this time, the people who came after hearing the news had already surrounded the Wen family's small house three floors inside and three floors outside.
The clear wine poured into the spring water, and Zhang Shengren suddenly felt a little dry, and tears rolled down his eyes. He held up the empty bowl and shouted loudly towards the earthenware jar and urn.
"Wen Da, I sent you and your brother home. I pardoned his sins and allowed him to support your mother and bring up your bloodline.
It was you who risked your life to save me at the Yang Canal. You violated military law, and it was I who personally ordered you to die.
I’ll send you back today and we’ll settle the matter! "
After Zhang Yan shouted this sentence, the sound of long live the mountains and the tsunami came from around him. Countless men stretched their necks to look and bowed down. The shouts of "the saint's benevolence and righteousness" came one after another.
Under the spotlight, Zhang Yan took out a silver coin that he used to reward people from the pocket handed over by Dong Shaojian, placed it next to Wen Da's urn, and then left without looking back.
Immediately afterwards, the wild bear Zhang Zhaozhong walked over, took out a handful of gold coins, and placed them next to the urn of Wen Da's ashes. He sighed angrily: "Oh! Why do such a good man need to violate military law!"
Guo Rong shook the copper coins in his hand, and after feeling that there were a few coins less than what Man Xiong had put, he also placed the coins on the table.
"I'm not showing pity, but respecting you for risking your life by the Yang Canal!"
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Cheng, Zhang Zhaojie and others, as well as the surrounding soldiers, all touched some money one after another.
It's not much money, that's what it means.
Wen Zhong knew that the emperor was raising money for him to travel south. He got up and shouted at the generals who kept putting money on the table.
"A certain Wen Erlang will remember the great kindness of all of you for the rest of his life. Please don't imitate me!"
I don't know when, the escorts Kanshandu and Youjinwu's guards gently tapped the metal on the armor with their hands, and made a sound in their mouths.
In the distant plains and on the hillsides, people were constantly galloping back and forth on horses.
The men rode the strongest horses in the family and performed all kinds of thrilling acrobatics to show their bravery, while the girls dressed in fancy clothes sang and danced.
People kept telling what happened in front to people coming from behind, and the more they spread, the more exaggerated it became.
In the end, stories about the high moral character of emperors from past dynasties were added to the point where Zhang Zhi blushed, and then placed on his head. The key is that the people still believe it and prefer to listen to it.
Amidst the roar of the mountains and the tsunami, more and more people gathered around Tianshui Mansion. Countless people held up the most precious things in their homes as gifts, wanting to present them to the emperor, and people kept coming from far away.
Zhang Zhaozhong and Zhang Cheng were sweating profusely. They had never expected that so many people would come back. They underestimated the emperor's status in the hearts of the people of Longyou.
In particular, the emperor sent Wen Da and Wen Zhong home today, which hit the hearts of these people accurately.
Although Wen Da and Wen Zhong were guilty, they were the emperor's warriors, especially Wen Da. He fought for the emperor for ten years and twice protected the emperor from danger.
Guilty should be punished, that is a matter of law, but if Zhang Yan completely ignored it and let Wen Zhong die in the wilderness and Wen Da's ashes could not return to his hometown, that would be unkind.
But today, the emperor showed them that he was both law-abiding and humane, which perfectly fit the image of the emperor in their hearts. How could these people not be moved and excited?
In fact, there is some truth in Liu Zhiyuan, Meng Chang, Li Jing and others calling Zhang Yan a Tibetan thief.
For example, Tianshui Mansion, although it is the hometown of Fuxi, the leader of the Three Emperors, has always been under the control of the imperial court.
But in fact, since the decline of the Tang Dynasty and Tubo even invaded Chang'an, Longyou, where Tianshui is located, has begun to rapidly transform into Tubo.
The Han, Qiang, Dangxiang and other ethnic groups living here have been greatly influenced by Tubo culture.
For example, now, tens of thousands of Tianshui men have gathered, all riding horses, trying to get closer and throwing the gifts in their hands onto the emperor's carriage.
I don’t know where so many young ladies came from, singing and dancing to show off their beauty and dancing postures to the emperor.
It would be strange if in Han areas such as Henan and Hebei, they were not considered assassins of kings and kings.
But in Tianshui Mansion, everyone thinks it's normal, because this is the most direct way for them to show their loyalty.
The atmosphere had reached this point. Zhang Yan could only ask people to stop the carriage and let all kinds of gifts be thrown into his carriage pulled by six white horses.
Then he would reciprocate the gift and personally announce in a loud voice that each of the athletes who came today would be rewarded with a piece of silk cloth.
He also took off some small ornaments from his body (actually, they were handed over temporarily by Shaojian Dong) and gave them to the ten girls with the most beautiful voices and the most beautiful dancing postures today.
Finally, amidst the roaring cheers of the crowd, the emperor gave up riding in the chariot, and instead rode on a sacred horse and rode out at the head of the horse.
Then the emperor's bodyguards quickly followed, followed by the cavalry of Hanshandu and Youjinwu Guards, and then the people of Tianshui Mansion, with tens of thousands of cavalry.
Everyone galloped along the tributaries of the Wei River towards Tianshui Mansion, cheering and roaring.
Amidst the thundering sound of horse hooves, Zhang Gao really looked like the king of horses on the plateau, leading his subjects away from Juechen and running into the distance.
