At dusk.
The setting sun shed an afterglow and outlined the figure on the horse''s back, as if plated with a layer of Phnom Penh.
The light passed through the floating horse''s mane and pulled the shadow on the horse''s back very long.
Under the sky, a long dragon of 20000 people walked slowly along the Loess Avenue.
The rumbling sound of horses'' hoofs was mixed with the creaking sound of baggage carts from time to time.
The golden sunshine sprinkled on the silver armor, with a little light, looming and appearing, like a beating light.
The 20000 people in silver armor looked like a flowing Star River, heading towards the imperial city of Chang''an.
On the black horse, Tang Hao in silver armor and white robe held the reins, and his body fluctuated up and down with the bumpy horse back.
Looking back at the long dragon with neat eyes, Tang Hao raised the color of joy and shouted.
"Five miles away, we''ll arrive at Chang''an, and we''ll go home!"
"Soldiers, speed up!"
Hearing the word "go home", the taxi soldiers behind them were immediately excited and issued a roar of "Hoo Hoo", wantonly venting their joy.
The excited cry of the whole dragon overwhelmed the clatter of the horse''s hoofs and scattered on the Loess road.
The excited laughter of the soldiers came to his ears. Tang Hao seemed to be infected. The urgency of returning home was strong again.
Slowly turned his head and looked at the end of Huangtu Avenue. Shaking the reins, Tang Hao came to the forefront of the team.
Into the eye, suddenly there was a flying figure, straight to the army.
When the figure was closer, Tang Hao saw that it was Li Junxian in silver armor and white.
Tang Hao raised his right hand slightly. The marching army suddenly stopped, and the command to stop gradually sounded in the rear.
In a moment, Li Junxian came to Tang Hao and got off his horse.
Tang Hao and two Zuo Xiaowei generals also dismounted to meet him.
Striding forward, Tang Hao hugged boxing.
"Your general, long time no see!"
Li Junxian looked at a circle of men with slightly vicissitudes in stubble, smiled and hugged boxing.
"Congratulations on general Tang''s triumphant return!"
After that, Li Jun gave a look at the soldiers who were standing on the horse, and then took Tang Hao''s way behind them.
"General Tang, it''s already dusk. The army won''t enter Chang''an today."
Shu Huajian, Li Junxian turned slowly and pointed to the East.
"The East camp gate has prepared meals and drinks, waiting for general Tang''s triumph."
Tang Hao patted his head and suddenly realized the Tao.
"I forgot it! It''s so good that the general said."
It turned out that after winning the war, we should boast our achievements and walk the streets to show the national prestige of the Tang Dynasty.
However, at this time, the sun is setting. When we wait for the Army Road Chang''an Imperial City, I''m afraid it''s already dark.
At this time, when we entered the city, the welcome ceremony prepared by Datang was wasted. It must be something wrong.
For the heroes of the Tang Dynasty, such honors as praising their achievements and walking the streets are naturally indispensable.
Tang Hao arched his hand.
"Thank you, General Li.
Li Jun bowed, spread his arms and made a gesture of invitation.
"It''s not too late. The soldiers are waiting to repair."
"Now, I''ll take you."
After that, several people on the field turned their horses at the same time, turned their horses'' heads and walked towards the camp.
The long dragon behind him closely followed the two men and wound towards the camp gate.
Chang''an is right in front of us, but 20000 people can''t enter the city at this time. It''s inevitable that some soldiers complain in their hearts.
When Li Jun promised that there was wine and meat, the soldiers who were used to eating dry food suddenly had bright eyes and secretly left saliva.
The night is getting dark.
The campfire of the camp was burning crackling, and the tongues of fire lit up the surrounding tents and red the camp in the East.
Soldiers in silver armor sat on the ground in groups around the campfire.
In the laughter, the pottery bowls in his hands collided, and the clear wine jumped out of the edge of the bowl and splashed on the ground.
In the forthright cry, the young soldier drank the wine in his hand.
Some active officers and men raised their voices, and the vigorous Tang music spread freely in this jubilation.
Tearing the cooked meat in his hands, listening to the voice of soldiers, mixed with some interesting stories of his hometown.
The whole East camp was jubilant.
In the big account.
A bowl of fruit wine unique to Datang entered his throat. The familiar sweet and astringent taste went down his throat, and Tang Hao shouted happily.
For nearly half a month, Tang Hao could enjoy the simple salt baked meat.
From time to time, bursts of laughter came from his ears. Tang Hao felt very relaxed in his heart.
At the desk, Li Junxian grabbed the wine jar and filled Tang Hao with a glass. Listening to the familiar noise outside the tent, he was filled with emotion.
Swallowing a piece of meat, Tang Hao narrowed his eyes slightly and said.
"It''s said that some interesting things have happened in the imperial city of the Tang Dynasty. Has general Li heard anything?"
Looking at the funny smile on Tang Hao''s face, Li Jun offered a sip of wine, placed it on the table and waved his hand.
"What general Tang said was about the Tubo prince?"
On the way, Tang Hao only knew about the competition between Datang and Tubo, but he didn''t know the result.
In his spare time, Tang Hao asked casually.
"Oh? It seems that there is a lot of trouble at this time! Even the general has paid attention to this folk matter."
"Don''t mention it, Datang''s face has been lost!"
……
Under the candlelight, they drank and talked about the civil and military competition between the imperial city and Tubo, and the thrilling journey of breaking the East Turks.
