The word "side by side" king of the Tang Dynasty

When Cao Cao, Guo Jia, Dian Wei, and Xu Chu drove to the outside of Chang'an City, Tiance's army, led by Qin Qiong, was already waiting here.

"Who are you and what is the purpose of coming here?"

In front of the Ten Thousand Army formation, Qin Qiong tightened the reins of the war horse in his hand, looked at Cao Cao and others, and said coldly.

According to the report from the scouts, the four people and a car in front of him came from the unknown army.

And he was observing the ceremony. Wei and Xu Chu were both burly and extraordinary, and their momentum was astonishing. You could tell at a glance that they were not simple, so how could they not be vigilant?

"Be bold!"

Xu Chu was very annoyed when he saw that Qin Qiong actually questioned Cao Cao. Just when he was about to speak, Cao Cao reached out and pulled him over.

The latter got off the carriage, cupped his hands and said,"I am Cao Cao. I want to go to Chang'an to meet Emperor Wu of the Tang Dynasty."

The tone was neither arrogant nor flattering, just plain, but it revealed a convincing bearing.

After hearing Cao Cao's words, Qin Qiong really began to take a serious look at Cao Cao.

A person can lie, but his own temperament It's hard to fake, the magnanimity of Cao Cao is not something ordinary people can have.

After looking at Cao Cao for a while, Qin Qiong believed his words, and as a monarch, Cao Cao left his army and went to Chang'an to meet Li Changqing. He only brought two guards, which could still show full sincerity.

The so-called reaching out and not hitting the smiling person, Cao Cao was full of sincerity, Qin Qiong was not good at making decisions and refused to see Cao Cao.

After hesitating for a while, Qin Qiong said:"I can bring him You enter the city, but I can't guarantee whether His Majesty will see you or not."

"Thank you."

Cao Cao nodded, and then got back on the carriage.

Qin Qiong turned his horse around, waved his hand to let the army spread out, let Cao Cao and his party into the city, and asked Yuchi Gong to personally lead him to the palace.

Cao Cao and others drove Slowly driving into Chang'an City, the closer to this majestic city, the greater the shock in Cao Cao's heart. He had never seen such a majestic city.

After entering the city, the streets were a lively scene, and the city was decorated with lights and colorful lights. , dispelling the darkness brought by the advent of eternal night, everyone looked very leisurely, and their normal life was not disturbed by the advent of eternal night.

Chang'an City under the night looked even more prosperous and prosperous.

Guo Jia and others Being dazzled by the many new things in Chang'an City, one and two of them were like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, their eyes widened and they kept exclaiming in surprise.

"It deserves the title of the most majestic city in the world, and Chang'an is indeed worthy of it."

Guo Jia couldn't help but sigh.

The majesty of a king's capital is a direct reflection of a country's national strength. No wonder he was shocked.

While Cao Cao was shocked, he felt very unbelievable, so Dian Wei stopped the carriage and shouted. An old man passing by asked:"Old gentleman, why are you not nervous at all? I heard outside the city that a large army is approaching, and now the world is shrouded in eternal night. Aren't you worried about this kind of disaster?"

After hearing what Cao Cao said, the old man gave him a strange look and said,"The coming of eternal night is a natural disaster that people cannot resist, but does it mean that you can't live if you encounter a natural disaster? We still have to find a way to overcome it, and with His Majesty Emperor Wu here, what are we worried about?"

"As for the army outside the city pressing down on the border... that has nothing to do with the lives of us ordinary people. I, the son of the Tang Dynasty, will defeat all the enemies."

When the old man said these words, his expression and tone were very calm, as if he was saying a fact that is a matter of course.

Cao Cao was speechless by what he said, and his expression was a little embarrassed, so he could only say:"Thank you, old man, for clearing up the confusion."

"What an old man, I'm just an old farmer."

The old man waved his hand, then turned and left.

Looking at his back, Cao Cao said with emotion:"The aspirations of the people and the enlightenment of the people are a sign of governance. It is amazing that an old farmer has such talk and knowledge.."

The group continued to move forward, but Cao Cao also discovered something, that is, the people along the way looked at their group a little strangely. At this time, Yu Chigong, who was leading the followers on the side of the carriage, said:"No need to be confused, just take a look. From how the other carriages are moving next to you, you will know why it is looked at like this."

After he finished speaking, a carriage happened to drive by. Cao Cao and Guo Jia immediately looked at it, and then they discovered that the carriage was driving on a track.

"This is……"

Cao Cao was stunned. He had seen a lot of this kind of track when he went south to Chang'an, but he never understood what it was.

Guo Jia had studied various national policies and basic information of the Tang Dynasty, so he knew more. He said:"Prime Minister, this is a light rail carriage. It can easily travel thousands of miles a day by running on the track."……"

He explained it to Cao Cao, and the latter finally understood that in this era, their carriages were probably like antiques. No wonder they attracted strange looks.

"……These tracks are spread all over the Tang Dynasty, which is one of the reasons why the economy of the Tang Dynasty is prosperous, because trade is extremely convenient."

After Guo Jia finished speaking, he was also very emotional. Building a rail network throughout the entire Tang Dynasty is simple to say, but it really consumes countless manpower, material and financial resources. It is impossible without strong national strength and people's support. A small amount of knowledge can make a difference. From the prosperity of Chang'an, the people's fearlessness, and the details of the rail carriages, Guo Jia can judge how strong the entire Tang Dynasty was. I am afraid it is really the most powerful dynasty in history.

Yuchi Gong saw them He was shocked and felt a sense of pride in his heart. In terms of prosperity and power, which dynasty in the past could compare with our Tang Dynasty?

When the carriage passed by a temple with great incense, Guo Jia asked curiously:"Is Buddhism popular in the Tang Dynasty? ? Why is the incense in this temple so prosperous?"

Along the way, he saw many people coming to the temple to worship, so he was quite curious.

Yuchi Gong took a look at the temple and couldn't help but smile, and said:"That is the Martial Temple, which enshrines the Ten Philosophers and the Seventy-two Sages. We Your Majesty is the King of Martial Saints, Grand Duke Jiang Ziya is the Second Saint, and someone is among them.……"

Having said this, Yuchi Gong glanced at Guo Jia and said,"You are also one of the seventy-two sages."
