The setting sun had already fallen into the western plains, and the bright moon had risen above the Longquan Mountains. The sky and the earth were hazy, and the white linen on the helmets of the Han army soldiers undulated in pieces, like snowflakes falling on the sea.
In the dim and pale light, a large ball of fire would occasionally burst out from the front, and with a "boom", it was the sound of artillery fire. The rows of muskets flashed, and in an instant they were brighter than the stars in the sky.
Many pine branch torches were lit one after another on the large formations on both sides; shouts and footsteps were heard everywhere, and the wilderness was still extremely noisy in the evening.
The light at this time is not as bright as during the day, and it is difficult to see things a little further away, and the scenery becomes hazy; but people can still see the nearby scenery with the afterglow of the evening and the moonlight in the sky. There is a
Countless torches lit up the night sky with extraordinary splendor, cheers echoed throughout the fields, and the passion for victory burned in the crowd.Such a scene and atmosphere seemed as if the war was over and everything people wanted was within reach. Zhu Gaoxu breathed a sigh of relief, and his face showed a hint of relaxation and fatigue under the light of the torch.As he rode his horse, wherever he went, the cheers of the soldiers suddenly became louder. "King of Han! King of Han..." The shouts came one after another.At this time, Qu Neng rode his horse towards them from the west. Amid the noise, Qu Neng rode forward and said, "King of Han, Commander Liu and the generals have led the people to chase them, and more and more prisoners are being taken."In such an atmosphere, Qu Neng looked exceptionally calm and composed.Zhu Gaoxu took a breath and looked at Qu Neng's face very seriously. The light of the torch in Zhu Gaoxu's eyes seem
The news of Yang Wuhou's defeat at Taiping Field soon spread throughout the city, and the gates of Chengdu were successively put under martial law.All the troops of Li Rang, the commander of the Chengdu rear guard, were transferred to the front line, but the general in charge of the rear guard was replaced, so he was unable to follow Xue Lu to join the battle.In the early morning, Li Rang slowly ate breakfast, put on his clothes and armor, and walked to the door of his house, surrounded by servants and soldiers. At this time, two men in cloth clothes were already waiting by the gatehouse. They came up to him, took out a piece of paper with a seal and a Jinyiwei waist badge, and one of them said, "Please ask Commander Li to go with us."Li Rang's face turned pale immediately, and he stood there for a long time without saying a word. There were a group of guards and servants around him, but no one spoke at this time."Commander Li?" the Jinyiwei soldie
The city gates in the distance were tightly closed, swords and spears were everywhere on the city walls, and the muzzles of the cannons were pitch black; the solid city seemed like a fortress surrounded by iron barrels. Qu Neng led several riders and rushed to the south gate of Chengdu more than a hundred steps away, and could already see a row of heads hanging on the gate."Boom! Boom!" Two cannon shots were heard from the city wall. Qu Neng spurred his horse to move closer.The generals around him shouted, "It's dangerous! Commander Qu, don't let this get you down."There was a whizzing sound in the air, and a bunch of arrows fell on the ground in front of Qu Neng, nailing the ground densely. Qu Neng reined in his horse and looked up at the head on the top of the city. The veins on his temples bulged, and the red on his skin seemed like blood beads being squeezed out.He didn't make a sound, but he clenched his hands tightly, and the tendons in his w
When Wan Quan was mentioned, Zhu Yueyao immediately felt a dull pain in his buttocks and thighs. Because of the incident the year before last, he suffered a hundred blows.The injuries on Zhu Yueyao's body have long since healed, but the injuries that seem to be burned into his heart have not healed yet, and may never heal in his lifetime!Wan Quan is the commander and guard of the Prince of Shu. Before Zhu Yueyao was granted the title of county king, he and Wan Quan occasionally met each other in the Prince of Shu's palace, but that was all, and there was no special friendship.However, Wan Quan had a niece's husband named Xiong Duofen, who came to Huayang County the year before last and worked as an errand for Zhu Yueyao; thus, Zhu Yueyao and Wan Quan had an additional relationship.Xiong Duofen was very considerate and was very familiar with the streets, alleys, sensual places and places in Huayang County, Chengdu City, so he served Zhu Yueyao very
In the camp of the King of Han's army, the boring and repetitive noise of sawing wood continued. The soldiers carrying the wood also shouted "Hey Yo" in a very orderly and rhythmic manner. People were cutting and carrying wood, building Huihui cannons and ladders, and there was a busy scene everywhere.The generals of the guards who knew the inside story of the army had advised Zhu Gaoxu not to make weapons. But Zhu Gaoxu replied: If we besiege the city but do not build siege tools, it would be like telling Guo Zi that we are determined to seize the city by relying on internal forces!Before Mu Sheng's army reached the west of the city, Zhu Gaoxu's troops had already surrounded Chengdu on all sides. He sent troops up every day to attack the city walls with long-range weapons such as bows and crossbows, copper fire guns, and bowl-mouth guns.Nearly a hundred steps away from the city wall, rows of soldiers stood in line with torches and charcoal in front of th
The warm winter sun shines on the pavilions and pavilions of the capital, but the sky above the imperial city seems to be filled with haze.The news of Xue Lu's defeat has been relayed to the imperial envoy. Of course, the imperial court will not make any big announcement about this kind of thing. From the palace to the Qianbu Corridor, everything is shrouded in strange silence.Emperor Zhu Gaochi had only heard bad news in the past two days. Only one thing reported by the imperial physician gave him some comfort. Zhang Fu's eldest daughter, Zhang Miaohua, who was more than ten years old and the newly appointed imperial concubine, had just been diagnosed by the imperial physician as pregnant a few months after entering the palace!Zhu Gaochi took the opportunity to put aside the military and national affairs that were worrying him and immediately returned to the harem to visit Zhang Miaohua.There were many people in the imperial concubine's palace, in
After all the government offices closed at the You hour, the capital city was still bustling with activity and the market was prosperous.Gao Xianning, the Imperial Academy student, came out of Hongwu Gate and rode a donkey to the southwest alone. He also sent his servants home.Gao Xianning lived in the mansion given to him by Emperor Taizong, but he did not take this route home. He did not want to go home today, but to go to the Qinhuai River near Jubao Gate; every ten days or half a month, he would go there and take a look at the scenery along the way.The jade shop that the King of Han secretly purchased was located between Jubao Gate and Qinhuai River.The jade shop was closed most of the time, and Gao Xianning might not go in once or twice a year. He usually walked here frequently, and was afraid that someone would notice such a strange detail; so Gao Xianning usually went to another place after passing by Jade Street.There is also a very
On the charred ruins of Taipingchang, many people came out of their makeshift huts and gathered around a group of donkey carts and wheelbarrows coming up the road. There was a flag in front of the convoy that read: Chengdu Treasury.People were making a lot of noise and talking among themselves standing on the side of the road."It's easy to hand in grain, but they're so stingy when it comes to receiving it! They say it's eight months' rations, but each person only gets one stone of rice. How can it last for eight months? Before, we got only five cents for rent for a house!" A woman complained.The old man with his hands tucked into his sleeves laughed and said, "Li family, it's good that the army didn't rob you when they entered Sichuan. Don't complain that it's too little if they can give you money and food. You don't know, if we count back 30 years, the Chengdu government was in chaos. You want to take money and food from the government? You think it's ea
The sky gradually darkened and the lights came on. Gao Xu held Miao Jin's hand and followed the crowd into the concert hall.People were all dressed up, especially women, who were all dressed up. Some wore traditional clothes such as ruqun or aoqun, while others were dressed in modern fashion. Each figure seemed to be wandering between the classical and the modern.Among them there are many foreigners, probably all of whom came to Taicang to attend international conferences.In terms of fun, people might prefer to watch a movie rather than enjoy such pure music. However, there were still many listeners tonight, and the auditorium gradually filled up.Perhaps some of them value the rarity of concerts and do not attend them often, while others simply value their style.Gao Xu's main happiness comes from Miao Jin's company. Imagine if he came alone or with someone unrelated, his feelings would be much worse. He is willing to be with Miao Jin and exp
There were long commercials playing on TV, but no one changed the channel.Miao Jin was doing chores and preparing ingredients for lunch. Gao Xu began to check his various instruments, which were all measuring tools he had collected a while ago.There is a ray detector, which, according to the manual, can detect radiation, including ultraviolet light, laser and other electromagnetic waves. There is a torsion balance experimental device, which can measure the gravitational constant. And an air measuring instrument.There were also some uncommon small devices. In short, except for the large instruments that were difficult to carry, he tried his best to buy all the instruments that could test general constants.Miao Jin would occasionally look over here curiously, but before she asked, she might have guessed what Gao Xu was going to do.Gao Xu would tell her clearly as long as she asked. Because when he was going to look for the cave in Huangshan, h
Gao Xu usually doesn't like watching TV. But today, when Miao Jin was watching TV in the living room, he was gradually attracted by the TV program, so he stopped what he was doing and sat next to Miao Jin.There was a studio on the TV screen, with two hosts, a man and a woman, talking about the animation "Zootopia" like a crosstalk. It was neither news nor entertainment, but a show that mocked reality.Miao Jin saw Gao Xu sitting over and said, "This TV station should be more inclined to the left-wing viewpoint."Gao Xu asked, "Why haven't I heard of the distinction between left and right wings?"Miao Jin said, "It is originally an imported product. That is how foreigners describe Ming Dynasty politics. There is no clear distinction between left and right in China. So we generally don't use such words. It is normal that we don't hear them normally."She glanced at Gao Xu and continued, "This classification first appeared in the parliament during
Gao Xu's drama project has less than half the investment of the animation project, with a total investment of about 40 million yen for 15 episodes; the profit expectations are also completely incomparable to those of animated films. As Wang Siqi and most people believe, the fastest way to make money is still the movie box office.But Gao Xu has invested more energy in costume dramas.The crew built a filming site in the Western Regions. From 509 to the first half of 510, a production period of less than a year, Gao Xu flew twice to personally observe the filming site. His subordinate Sun Jing also stayed in the Western Regions for a long time, passing various information back to Taicang.A large media company in Taicang has signed an exclusive premiere agreement with Dream Incubation Studio.The terms are a bit complicated, but the key is to adopt a cooperation model with floating copyright fees. When the series is almost finished, a pay TV station und
The glass window on the outer wall is located in the east direction, so the sunlight cannot enter the studio in the afternoon. Therefore, Gao Xu often has a slight illusion that it seems to be later than the actual time.At this moment, the phone in his coat pocket rang. Gao Xu's phone rarely received calls because he had set the Do Not Disturb function, so no calls could be received from numbers that were not saved. He took it out and saw that it was a person who he did not contact often but had saved the number a long time ago, Sun Jing.Gao Xu stood up from his desk, walked to the corner by the glass window, glanced at Wang Cheng not far away, and answered the phone.Sun Jing's voice asked, "Are you still busy with work?"Gao Xu said, "Yes, I am working on two projects at the same time, so I am a little busy. How is Mr. Sun doing recently?"Sun Jing, "Very boring. I don't have to go to work, but I've been idle for so long that I feel like I'm
This was the second time Gao Xu and Xiao Yu had a meal together. Last time they were at the company cafeteria, and today they were at a roadside fast food restaurant.After finishing work at the agency, Gao Xu drove off the main road and found a parking space. Then he randomly found a restaurant where he could eat and walked in with Xiao Yu.It was very lively inside, with all kinds of customers, including well-dressed office workers and some homely citizens, men, women, young and old, making a big noise in the room, mixed with the loud shouts of the shop assistants passing on information. Although the air conditioner was on, the shop was open and there were many people, so it was still very hot inside.There were several dishes to choose from, all of which were simple and convenient. Gao Xu and Xiao Yu gave up on the braised pork intestines with radish, and roast duck was too greasy, so they chose roast chicken.The roasted chicken skin was cut into p
After many twists and turns, Gao Xu finally contacted the director named Ma Xuan.Ma Xuan has an account on the Internet where he posts some career news. Gao Xu's assistant Yu Ni left messages and sent messages, but it took several days for her to get a response. Gao Xu came to the hall and looked through the information records on Yu Ni's computer."He doesn't seem very proactive." Yu Ni said.Gao Xu said , "You claim to be the assistant of the investor of "Dream Seekers", but he may not believe you. If our studio also has such a certified account, it may save some trouble."At this time, Shidai Heng walked by and greeted him, "Mr. Liu."Gao Xu nodded and said, "We are trying to contact Ma Xuan, the director you recommended."Dai Heng came over and said, "He should have received a lot of similar messages. And there is indeed some false information on the Internet. For the purpose of advertising, people may lie about their identities, which
The people who work here, including Dai Heng who has only been here a few days, seem to have gotten used to the environment.The studio was in good condition. The morning sun shone in through the French windows, and the room was clean and tidy. In addition to the solid wood desk and bookshelf, and a full range of domestic electrical appliances (Made in China products are more expensive), there were also comfortable leather chairs.Gao Xu was in Xiao Deng's office at the moment, sitting on one of the leather chairs, holding a tablet and reading the text he had just copied from Xiao Deng's computer. Of course, he couldn't help but listen to the sound of her keyboard at the same time.He put down the tablet, picked up the cup next to him, and found it was empty. So he stood up and walked to the water dispenser, filled up half a cup of hot water, then took a tea bag and put it in the cup to soak for more than ten seconds, then took it out and put it next to him.
The next screenwriter who came to the studio for an interview was named Dai Heng, who should be a relatively unknown person.Gao Xu looked out from the glass wall and when he saw Dai Heng, he immediately guessed that this person was probably not married yet. Dai Heng was wearing a brand new suit, a white shirt with a small cross collar, and a pair of casual leather shoes that didn't match. The most unpleasant thing about Dai Heng was his long hair, but unlike the image of Ekin Cheng, Gao Xu felt at first glance that Dai Heng was not suitable for that hairstyle. Some hairstyles look good, but they are picky about the face.But these are not problems. Now that the people have arrived, Gao Xu needs to get to know them a little bit.Gao Xu pressed the phone on the desk, "Xiao Yu, ask him to come to the office to meet.""Okay." Xiao Yu said into the phone outside, his voice coming from the desk inside.Dai Heng came in from the door with a bag on his
