Chapter 521 Please show me the document
If he wants to break the situation, it is definitely not enough to rely on himself. He can only use the two big countries that are close to each other - Da Qi and Datang.
It was also because of this that he eagerly wanted to send weapons and armor to Daqi to enhance Daqi's combat power. As a result, the Tianlang Kingdom must always be on guard against Daqi's attacks and cannot allocate too much energy and troops to deal with Daqian.
As for Datang, he also wanted to negotiate as soon as possible. There are many virtuous ministers in the Tang Dynasty, and the monarchs are also relatively virtuous. They will not understand the principle of lips dying and teeth falling cold, and they will definitely help.
As for helping more or less, it depends on how much Da Qian can win.
"Bang bang bang..."
A gentle knock on the door broke the silence in the room, and Lin Xiaofan came back to his senses.
"come in."
Xu Wen walked in, followed by Liu Xing. Liu Xing brought some lights and hung them in the room. Suddenly, the room became a little brighter.
"Sir, I heard that you haven't eaten yet, so I'll bring you some cakes."
Xu Wen took the wooden box in his hand and opened it. There were several pieces of cake bait inside.
"Have a heart."
Lin Xiaofan nodded with satisfaction and then asked:
"Xu Wen, have you encountered any difficulties in practicing martial arts?"
Hearing this, Xu Wen touched the back of his head and said:
"Speaking of which, I feel that the more I practice, the more confused I become. I feel that I may not be the material for this."
Ordinary people want to practice martial arts, but they haven't had the chance to practice yet. Lin Xiaofan gave him this opportunity, but now he doesn't want to practice.
But today's battle made him realize the gap between him and Xu Wen. And this gap in power will only grow wider in the future.
He couldn't help but feel confused, was he really the material for martial arts training?
Lin Xiaofan had already predicted Xu Wen's answer, and he asked again:
"Xu Wen, you practice martial arts just because you want to avenge your father one day. But if you want revenge, there is more than just martial arts."
And after this period of contact, he also got to know Xu Wen somewhat.
Xu Wen has a very flexible mind and has a high level of understanding no matter what he does. But martial arts training mainly relies on talent. Although Xu Wen's understanding can make up for part of the gap, he still can't defeat those with extraordinary talents.
And letting him practice martial arts would really bury his talent.
Xu Wen's eyes flashed with joy, and he hurriedly saluted:
"Please give me some advice, sir."
He thought about it all day today and felt that he was not suitable for martial arts training.
"I don't know, would you like to study?"
Lin Xiaofan asked.
"I am willing."
Xu Wen's face showed joy. To be honest, he had been yearning for reading since he was a child. However, my family was poor and I never had this opportunity.
"There is a private school teacher in Liujiazhuang, Degao Town, who is highly respected. Starting from tomorrow, you can learn to read with him."
Lin Xiaofan said.
"promise!"
Xu Wen also agreed immediately. He couldn't ask for such a good opportunity.
"Okay, step back."
Lin Xiaofan waved his hand, and Xu Wen left the room with excitement on his face.
……
"Drive! Drive! Drive!"
On the official road, a carriage was moving quickly. The four horses are all white and large in size. The two people driving the car were also wearing reddish armor, and their eyes were like eagles.
"Hey, how long until we arrive?"
A rough voice came from the carriage, with a hint of impatience in it.
"Half an hour."
The driver responded.
"so troublesome."
In the carriage, Dongfang Tianming's face was ashen. Daqian is located to the south of Datang, and Qingzhou County is located to the southwest of Daqian.
Dongfang Tianming came all the way from the northernmost part of the Tang Dynasty and had been working as a carriage for more than a month. In addition, the traffic in Daqian was not very good and the bumps along the way made him lose weight.
"General, calm down, we'll be here soon."
A tall and thick-set man on the side spoke to comfort him, his expression equally ugly.
If he had known that the road would be so long and difficult, he would rather fight Hunu a few times.
His name was General Yu, and he was also a general of the Tang Dynasty. But in terms of level, it is far inferior to Dongfang Tianming.
Dongfang Tianming put his hands on his chest and didn't reply.
Half an hour passed quickly.
"Yu~~"
The carriage stopped.
Dongfang Tianming got out of the car and exhaled, feeling that he was finally done. But when he thought about the carriage ride that would take more than a month to go back, his expression darkened again.
What comes into view is a large city with walls more than two feet high. The masonry and stone should be newly built and have not experienced the baptism of time. There was an endless stream of people entering the city, and there was some excitement at the city gate.
Although Dongfang Tianming had already predicted it, the city where Lin Xiaofan was located was certainly not small. But I was still surprised when I saw the scale.
Even in the Tang Dynasty, there were only twenty or thirty such cities.
At the city gate, ten soldiers were divided into two columns, all of them tall and tall, standing like mountains. The muscles are well defined and full of strength and beauty. Due to long-term training, their skin is tanned like bronze, exuding an aura of perseverance and strength.
Looking at the armor on his body, I don’t know what material it is made of, but it seems to be a bit harder than iron armor. Even the armor of his personal guards seemed inferior.
Daqian's soldiers are so strong?
Dongfang Tianming was a little surprised. But he soon figured out that this was Lin Xiaofan's base camp, and these people were probably elites transferred by Lin Xiaofan from the front line.
In fact, most of the city guards in the city retired from the front line. There were many wars in Daqian, and the wars they had experienced were probably several times that of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. Because of this, their aura looks more ferocious.
Coupled with this most elite equipment, even the elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty may not be able to match it.
"Where do you come from and what do you do in the city?"
Several soldiers came forward and conducted routine questioning. In fact, ordinary carriages can go directly into the city. But Dongfang Tianming's soldiers wore armor, so their identities needed to be identified.
"I am the envoy of the Tang Dynasty."
Dongfang Tianming clasped his hands on his chest, looking like he was looking at people through his nostrils.
The Tang Dynasty was a big country with strong national power, with 700,000 soldiers and horses, and its territory was ten times that of Daqian.
Because of this, he had a smooth journey. As long as you announce your identity, whether it is an ordinary soldier or a local official, they will greet you with a smile on your face, for fear of being dissatisfied in any way.
But the scene he expected didn't happen.
The city guard in front of him had a cold face, and the people around him just looked at him in surprise, and still went their separate ways.
"Show me the paperwork."
The city guard said.
"Did you know that the person standing in front of you is Dongfang Tianming, one of the ten most powerful ministers of the Tang Dynasty?"
General Yu took a step forward and spoke loudly, fearing that no one within ten miles could hear him.
He was a military commander with a loud voice. The sound of this voice was indeed heard by the people around him, who stopped and looked this way.
However, the people around him only stopped to take a look, and then went on to do their own things.
The city guard still had a cold face:
"I know, show me the paperwork."
