Chapter 2165: Visiting the Great Wall
The Great Wall of Liangzhou is located southwest of the city.
There was a particularly wide avenue, and tourists could go up to most places. Duan Cheng and his friends often came here to play, so they were familiar with the place. He took them directly to deposit the horses and carriages, and then everyone climbed up.
The Great Wall here is much steeper than the one in Xiazhou. In some places, it even goes up vertically, which is very dangerous.
Manbao and Baishan helped Mr. Zhuang climb up, one on each side. It took them half an hour to climb up.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and looked back.
Yin Huo and Liu Huanbai Erlang were still halfway there. When the two of them finally came up, supporting Yin Huo on the left and right, Bai Shan and the others had already prepared the tea.
Manbao glanced at Yin Huo and saw that although he was out of breath, his face looked fine, and his eyebrows were bright, and he looked very happy. She smiled and waved, "Come and have some tea."
Liu Huan and Bai Erlang seemed even more tired than Yin Huo. They climbed up the city wall step by step, holding on to it. Then they sat down on the mat and said, "We are so tired."
Yin Huo also came over, but he didn't sit down. Instead, he leaned against the city wall and looked at the cliff below and the vast grassland in the distance.
Manbao poured him a cup of tea, stood up and brought it to him. He also looked at the mountains and grasslands stretching out in the distance and said with a smile, "Don't you think it's magical?"
Yin Huo looked over in confusion.
Manbao said, "It's difficult for us to walk up the completed Great Wall, but the part that stretches along the mountain ridge was built entirely by humans. Isn't it amazing that such a long wall was built brick by brick and stone by stone?"
Yin Huo nodded, "It's amazing."
He glanced at the steep rock face again, and after a pause, he said, "They are very powerful."
Bai Shan also stood by the city wall, looking at the Tubo outside the Great Wall, then looking back at their Liangzhou. He couldn't help but turn his head and ask Duan Cheng and others beside him, "Will the Tubo attack Liangzhou from here?"
"No," Duan Cheng said, "At least in the past twenty years, Tubo has never attacked from here."
The Great Wall is not all connected, and there are some places in the middle that have not been built, so there are gaps, and they will send heavy troops to guard them.
Although it is difficult to break through with heavy troops, it seems easier than the Great Wall.
If we cross the Great Wall, baggage and food will basically not be able to get through, so it is actually of little use if only people can get through, not to mention that it is not that easy for people to get through.
Bai Shan: "So it would be difficult for our Liangzhou troops to enter Tubo from here?"
Duan Cheng was stunned for a moment before nodding, "Yes."
But why would the troops from Liangzhou go to Tubo for no reason?
Guo Tian couldn't help but look at Bai Shan. What did this guy mean? Did he want to take over Tubo?
However, the Turkic kingdom had been destroyed, and even the faraway Gaochang Kingdom had been annexed by the Jin Dynasty. There was nothing wrong with taking back Tubo.
Bai Shan was just asking out of curiosity to confirm what he was thinking. It turns out that the Great Wall not only stopped the enemy, but also stopped himself.
Not to mention, although the Great Wall is only made of bricks, when standing on it and looking at the mountain ridges and grasslands on both sides, especially the grasslands facing the Tubo side, you will feel very happy and at the same time feel some ambitious ambitions.
Lian Yin Huodu leaned against the city wall and said, "I wish I could ride on the battlefield and achieve great things."
Bai Shan pondered for a moment and said, "Not to mention you, even I find it difficult. I think practicing martial arts is a good idea. I wonder if it's too late for me to work harder now."
Mr. Zhuang said, "Generals look for courage and strategy, while commanders look for wisdom and strategy. If you are not good at martial arts, you can make up for it with wisdom and strategy."
He said, "Master, I still remember a few military books. Why don't I recite them and show them to you?"
Bai Shan: ...
Bai Erlang was laughing in glee at the side, and Mr. Zhuang turned to him and said, "You and Bai Shan should study together."
Baijiro:!
Liu Huan was happy.
When Mr. Zhuang's gaze swept over him, he immediately lowered his head and shrank his neck, quietly hiding behind Yin Huo, pretending that he didn't exist.
But Mr. Zhuang did not let him go, and even Manbao wanted to learn from him.
Duan Cheng thought for a moment and took the opportunity to say, "I have a few military books at home. If Mr. Bai wants to read them, you can borrow them."
When it comes to books, Bai Shan never has too many, no matter whether he is interested in them or not, so he accepted the other party's kindness with a smile.
Duan Cheng smiled slightly and decided to find the book and have someone send it to him when he got back.
The group stayed on the mountain until noon. After touring the entire area and having enough rest, they went down.
Going down the Great Wall is much easier than going up it. Although it looks more dangerous, it is not tiring to walk on it as long as your feet are steady enough.
It was the first time for Yin Huo to stand on such a steep place and look down. He was so confused that he didn't move.
When the Yin family's retainers saw this, they no longer dared to let Master Liu and Master Bai support their master. Instead, they stood beside the master themselves, protecting him from front and back.
Bai Shan still supported Mr. Zhuang.
Mr. Zhuang waved his hand and said, "No need."
He went down by himself, holding on to the city wall, and looked more agile than Yin Huo.
Bai Shan and Man Bao went down hand in hand. Liu Huan looked at them with envy and emphasized to Bai Erlang: "I want to get married too."
Bai Erlang asked, "How can you talk about marriage now that you're out now?"
"Anyway, marriages are arranged by parents and matchmakers. What does it matter whether I'm here or not?"
Bai Erlang: "...You're so open-minded. What if your parents marry you off to an ugly girl?"
He glanced at Manbao and Baishan walking down the Great Wall together and said, "Besides, even if you are engaged, can the girl you are engaged to come with you to climb the Great Wall?"
Liu Huan thought about the favorite activities of the noble ladies in Beijing and became a little hesitant.
Zhou Liru walked past them and went down. "I suggest you find a young girl from a military family who is skilled in martial arts. That way, she can not only accompany you to climb the Great Wall, but she might even help you climb the Great Wall."
Liu Huan subconsciously looked down at Bai Erlang's hand that was supporting him, and immediately pushed it away, saying, "I can climb by myself."
But when he looked down at the very high stairs, he felt a little weak in the legs.
It was strange. Why hadn't he noticed it was so high when he climbed up this morning? He and Bai Er were still supporting Yin Huo at that time.
It looks so steep. If I accidentally roll down, it won’t stop, right?
His legs were trembling and he couldn't move them.
Yin Huo saw this and pointed to a family guard and said, "Go and help Master Liu."
The family will pass by.
Everyone trembled as they descended to the foot of the mountain, patting their chests and saying, "We finally understand why there are no soldiers guarding this section."
Guo Tian laughed and said, "Even those of us who climb the Great Wall regularly are terrified of this section. I'm afraid it would be difficult for the enemy to attack from here."
After saying that, perhaps influenced by Bai Shan, he silently added in his heart, of course, it would be difficult for them to attack.
We all went back to the city together and had lunch together, which deepened our relationship.
See you at 7pm
