Chapter 1011: Xinfeng Fine Wine

General Guard, all members of the Ninth Cavalry Squadron of the Xuange Battalion of the Xuanwei Army are here! "Shen Long stepped forward alone, and solemnly saluted the military. This sentence was said by Lu Shishi in the advertisement, but now it came out of his mouth.

"Yuanzheng has worked hard!" Guo Xin looked at the dusty Shen Long, even though he had thousands of words in his heart, he just reached out and patted him on the shoulder heavily.

"Master! This old slave finally sees you!" Then a steward of the Guo family rushed over and knelt down in front of Guo Xin, tears streaming down his face. He was originally a servant in Guo Xin's family, and he watched Guo Xin grow up since he was a child. Ever since Guo Xin went to the Western Regions, the two of them had broken off contact. This time when they heard that they were coming to the Anxi Governor's Mansion, the steward wanted to follow him no matter what he said.

"Uncle Fu, you are getting old!" Guo Xin quickly helped him up, seeing a familiar face again after so many years, Guo Xin was also very excited.

"Master, your hair is also gray, and no one is taking care of your suffering here!" The old steward tremblingly took out a thick stack of family letters from his arms and handed them to Guo Xin, "This is what the young masters gave you." I wrote a letter home, and the young masters miss you very much, if not for their official positions, they would definitely come to the Western Regions to see you!"

"Since I have received the salary from the court, I have to work for the court. My Guo family does not have a child who puts private affairs above public affairs!" Guo Xin tried not to shed tears.

"Da Duhu, when the last general was in Chang'an, he also asked Dai Guogong to find the family members of our Anxi Army and brought them family letters. Well, there are relatives who brought the family letters over there with their own hands. Can Daduhu let them see?" To see my family?" Shen Long pointed to the young man in Chang'an behind him.

At this time, even though their relatives were close in front of them, even though their eyes were full of tears, they didn't get Shen Long's military order, and none of them moved.

Being able to do this, this group of teenagers can already be regarded as strong soldiers. Guo Xin was also surprised by it. He was stunned for a while before saying, "This is what should be done." Then he ordered them to reunite, and Shen Long also issued an order. The dialers immediately gathered together.

"May I ask if the Lantian Yun family is here? I am Saburo of the Yun family!"

"Daddy, daddy, who of you has seen my daddy? My daddy is Zhang Twelfth from the Zhang Family of Fengxiang Mansion!" Shouts and crying came together, and those who found their relatives hugged each other and wept. The young man sat on the ground and wept bitterly, and then was helped up by those veterans whose relatives did not come.

"Come on, get up, your father did not insult the glory of my Tang Dynasty. He killed five Tubo cavalry by himself. Although your father is dead, the tablet is still there. I will take you to pay homage to him." Go!" Although their children didn't come, they regarded these teenagers as their own children.

"Master, the caravan also brought my good wine from Tang Dynasty, the authentic Xinfeng wine. I'm afraid you haven't drunk it for many years, sir? When passing by the Uighur Yazhang, some Uighur nobles wanted to exchange gold with me. The old slave didn’t change, young master, please drink a few bowls!” The old steward gave an order, and the caravan’s carriage brought up the good wine.

Guo Xin opened the wine jar, took a deep breath, and showed an intoxicated look on his face, but he did not enjoy it to himself, but said loudly, "Since the business route was cut off, I am the only one who hasn't tasted the wine of the Tang Dynasty for a long time? This is my hometown. How can I enjoy the wine alone? Come on, go and mix these good wines with water for everyone to taste!"

Most of the soldiers in the Anxi Duhufu came from the vicinity of Longyou and Chang'an, and Xinfeng wine was produced in Lintong. For these people, it was a serious hometown wine, so the old steward chose Xinfeng wine instead of the same famous wine. Lanling wine or Jiannanchun.

Xinfeng wine is a high-end fine wine of the Tang Dynasty. Li Taibai once wrote a poem "Xinfeng fine wine fights ten thousand",

That is to say, a bucket of Xinfeng wine is worth thousands of dollars. In Chang'an, anyone who mixes Xinfeng wine with water will be scolded to death and said that he is reckless, but now, no one has accused Guo Xin.

It is thousands of miles away from Chang'an to Kucha, and they still have to make a big detour from the Uighur Yazhang. They really can't carry too much wine, so this carriage has to be transported by all means, so that all the soldiers of Anxi's guard house They all tasted the fine wine from their hometown, but it would be impossible not to mix it with water.

These soldiers also understood this truth. Although the taste of the wine was so light that it was almost tasteless after mixing a few jars of wine with water, they still blushed from drinking it, because it was not other wine, but from Datang, from their own hometown. After drinking this kind of wine, they seem to have returned to the days when they were in Datang...

"In the past, Huo Huoqi poured fine wine from the emperor into the spring and drank with the soldiers. Only then did the Jiuquan come into being; now the general guard does not let Huo Huoqi be more beautiful than before, and the general believes that the general guard will be able to sweep away like Huo Huyqi. The Xiongnu swept across the Western Regions like that, and let the glory of the Tang Dynasty reappear in the Western Regions!" Shen Long also said to Guo Xin, holding a glass of thin wine.

"Datang! Datang! Datang!" The soldiers who heard Shen Long's words, whether they were the white-haired soldiers who had been in Anxi for a long time or the young men who just came from Chang'an, raised their glasses one after another, shouting the name of Datang in their mouths. The sound spread quickly among the Anxi army, and finally almost all the Anxi soldiers were shouting the name of Datang.

The voice soared into the sky, resounded throughout the city of Kucha, and reached the ears of the foreigners in the city. They all pricked up their ears and listened carefully to the voice. Many people showed joy and began to whisper, "This is the big one!" Tang’s troops are coming back? Could it be that the trade routes will be reopened? If so, we can live a good life again!”

Longyou was cut off by Tubo, not only the soldiers of Anxi Duhufu and Beiting Dufufu were suffering, but also the tribes in the Western Regions who depended on commerce and trade for a living were also having a hard time, without the constant businessmen on the Silk Road , they have no way to obtain benefits through commerce and trade, and the output of those few pieces of barren land alone cannot support so many people.

Thirty years of blockade in the Western Regions not only reduced the strength of Datang's troops, but even their tribes declined a lot. How could they not be excited when they heard the news of Datang's return.

"Fu Bo, is the business route open again?" They can understand this truth, and Guo Xin can naturally understand that if the business route is reopened, there will be more room for the Anxi Protectorate to move around.

"Thanks to Guo Shouzhuo, who led me to the Uighur Yazhang in the north, and then turned to the southwest to deliver these things." The old steward pointed to the silk and porcelain on the carriage and said, "It's just that this road is better than the original road. It’s far away, and the road is not under the control of our Tang Dynasty, so I’m afraid it’s impossible to transport goods as it was thirty years ago.”

"As long as the business route is not broken, that's enough!" Guo Xin said.
