The seventy-five summer capital Yangqu is prosperous and prosperous
"Hey... I'm selling Xiaomi... Who sells Xiaomi..."
"Selling mutton... I'm killing now... I want that piece to have it."
"Dad...I want to eat mutton..."
"Eat...Is two pieces enough? Then the master cut me a piece of sheep scorpion..."
"Enough... Thank you dad... Daddy is so good..."
The street market is several feet wide and crowded but orderly. The road is full of shops and vendors, noisy and hawking sounds...
Ji Yu and Ji Boyan walked side by side in the street market of Yangqu, the capital of the Great Xia Kingdom. The two of them raised their hands and looked up at the people's feelings. Seeing the lively scenery in the shop, Ji Yu couldn't help but praise, "It is worthy of being the first city in summer. The streets are as wide as there are many people, and the prosperity of the market is only seen in life."
Ji Bo smiled and said with a smile: "Yangqu is among the nine states of the Central Plains, and is also the center of the world. It gathers the world of heaven and earth with beautiful water and soil, fertile and dense population. There are thirty-six fangs, seventy-two streets, several Qingshui sand and water channels, and there are more than thirty stone arch bridges along the water.
The east and west have Zhengyang Gate, Weihua Gate, Jingchong Gate, Chongning Gate, Yongning Gate, and Desheng Gate are built along the central axis. The city is 32 miles wide and three meters high.
There are also Taiping Pavilion, Huayang Pavilion, Cuiping Pavilion and dozens of pavilions that are rare in the world, as well as the inner city palaces, including the Star Gazing Tower, Guangyun Tower, Hanguang Hall, Chengyue Hall, and Baohua Hall. However, the most strange thing is Juntai, which is a skilled craftsman in the world who can build it. Although it was used as a place for prisoners after the Xia Dynasty, it is actually the largest building in the world."
After Ji Boyan said that, he saw a few feet of river ahead, and turned around and said, "Sir, look...that should be Dinglong Bridge, there are lanterns and umbrellas on both sides of the river. There are many local food stalls, so let's go there and try the wine from the capital."
Ji Yu was completely unlucky. He followed Boyan through the streets and alleys, and then found a stall by the bridge, and ordered specialty wine and dishes, and chatted while eating.
It has been more than ten days since Wu Luan was killed. On that day, Wu Luan died, and the Xia army had no leader. In addition, the Sishui Grain Road was cut off by Lu Yue, and there was another Zhuanyun Shang army in front of him. After resisting for two days, he went out to camp and surrender.
This Xia army is neatly organized, with more than 70,000 veteran soldiers from the border army and the guards in the Beijing camp, and more than 50,000 auxiliary soldiers recruited this year, a total of more than 100,000 troops unloading their armor and leaving the camp. It also means that the last elite army in the Great Xia Dynasty that was truly mastered by the emperor was destroyed.
The Xia and Shang dynasties also attacked and defended different things. The Shang Tang Alliance forces were Nangkuo Qingzhou (Shandong), Xuzhou Huaisi, Yangzhou, Yuzhou, Jizhou, plus the newly affiliated Guanzhong Qiguo and Weishui princes, as well as the Chujiang clan that had been fighting in Yizhou in Jingbei, and the Shang Tang Alliance had already won 99% of the nine states in the world.
The Xia Dynasty, which became a small court, now only controls the Jin and Zhao territory in the southern part of Bingzhou. The Jiuyi was not as strong as the emperor's orders. So large areas of barbarian territory such as Youzhou, Yunzhong, Jinbei, and Hexi were not directly controlled by the small court.
Nowadays, there are hundreds of thousands of Shang troops stationed from Yangqu to Weibei. Han Zheng led 40,000 troops to Yanyi, Shang Tang led 80,000 troops to Yangqu, Jiboyan led 10,000 troops to Yanshi, Jihou led 40,000 troops to Weishui, hundreds or thousands of miles from west to east, nearly 200,000 elite Shang troops stationed along the river, confronting Hebei.
The Xia army in Hebei has 200,000 cavalry, which is also the greatest deterrent to the Shang army. The cavalry has the potential to crush the infantry. If these 200,000 cavalry cross the river and rushed into the Henan plain, it will bring great trouble and threat to the Shang army.
The Shangtang Alliance discussed that nearly 200,000 troops confronted the Yellow River at the Xia cavalry. Both armies set up water camps and passes along the coast. It is necessary to block the Xia cavalry in Bingzhou, Hebei. The mountains of Bingzhou were not conducive to the collision of cavalry and barbarians, so Bingzhou was listed as the place where the Xia army fought decisively.
The Xia and Shang dynasties seemed to have a calmness before the decisive battle. Both sides were preparing momentum. Xia relied on 200,000 cavalrymen to have many mountains and mountains, so it took time to raise the army's food and grass to transport them, as well as the recruitment of civilians and soldiers.
The Shang army was not anxious or slow, allowing the Xia Dynasty to accumulate momentum. The Shang army was waiting for an opportunity to concentrate its strength. Zhang Jia from the east had been out of Taihang for several months, and he had just waited to sweep the Xia army in Jizhou. At that time, Zhang Jia would start from Hanoi and encircle the Xia army in Bingzhou with the Shang army in the south.
Ji Yu and Ji Boyan casually found a small stall and sat down to the boss and shouted, "Do you have any special dishes in this shop? Let's report the name of the dishes?"
"Okay... there are Bazhen cakes, couscous, sheep Xian soup, corn porridge, eight treasure porridge, and our secret sauce-made braised pork..." The stall owner and his wife saw Ji Yu and the other two beings were both vulgar and dressed in gorgeous clothes, and did not dare to neglect them at all, and they did not doubt the financial resources of these two noble people.
Seeing Ji Yu watching the bustling and bustling in the Erzhang River, Ji Boyan smiled slightly and said to the stall owner, "Give me one more serving and sell another pound of good wine."
Ji Yu turned his head and sighed, "The capital is prosperous, the people are prosperous, and we all have wealth and prosperity, but Qi Hui and Mu Chou are brothers who have been building their own businesses and entrepreneurship for Shanghou..."
Ji Boyan's face froze, his smile faded, and he lowered his head to comfort him, "Sir, be careful, these brothers die, and this is their fate. When the remnants of the violent Xia are completely eliminated, they will be granted their wives and children as the Shang Dynasty is in charge, and their descendants can also enjoy wealth and prosperity."
Seeing the stall owner bringing wine, Ji Yu picked up the jar and drank it a big mouthful and said, "It's also... I'm dying after starting a business and killing it in many battles, and it's also for the sake of planting and harvesting it in the future..."
Ji Boyan suddenly looked up at Ji Yu and said with a smile, "Sir, you should find a good wife and concubine, otherwise, you will work hard to plant this big tree, but you have no descendants to take advantage of the shade. I know a few good ladies, who are waiting for the boudoir, are beautiful and beautiful, and are also the daughter of the princes. They are a match with Mr. "
Ji Yu was stunned when he heard this, and added the wine to Ji Boyan, saying shyly, "Chang Hou knew that I was not here, so he said that he was doing something, and drank...drink."
Ji Boyan smiled slightly and turned the topic and said, "The world is not far from peace. After the war, what do you want to do the most?"
Ji Yu looked at the boat in the river, looked up at Qingming Yunxiao, and responded with a look of yearning, "I want to... want to see how high the sky is and how big the sea is... Legend has it that there is Dongsheng Shenzhou outside the Jiuzhou, and all the creatures in the state are all people who worship the good and respect the Tao and believe in the gods. Thousands of miles away from the East Sea are three mountains and Pengying, and there are five overseas mountains... countless sacred immortal families, and I want to see it too..."
Ji Yu drank a blazing wine, looked at Bo Yan in a drunken way and said, "Chang Hou...what are you..."
"I... I want to strengthen Changguo... and strengthen Taihao family... and then open another harem to recruit beautiful women and beauties... haha..." Ji Boyan became more and more excited as he spoke, and finally couldn't help laughing.
The two of them went back and forth, drinking and eating meat, as close as a small stall in Kuyun Township. However, they were in a random place in Changyi, talking about family matters and interesting things from various countries, but now they are in the capital of the country, talking about the general trend of the world and the things that are swaying and looking down on the world.
Ji Boyan talked and said anything, Ji Yu was also unrestrained, blushed, and both of them drank several jars of good wine, which made the stall owner and the surrounding people jumped.
