Chapter 602: Welcome (2)(2/2)
"Don't move, be careful and let Qingyun try on the armor." Han Qian grabbed Zhao Ting'er's hand and told Qingyun who was waiting in the outer room to bring his scale armor.
After the wedding team crossed the Wanshou River, they entered Liyang County.
According to the plan, he would rush to the Wanshou River early tomorrow morning to greet the bride-to-be in person, and then stay there for a day, waiting for the wedding day before officially setting off to enter Liyang City.
He will also use this day to prepare and mobilize the first batch of soldiers and horses gathered to take on the important task of raiding on the bank of Wanshou River.
…………
…………
The Wushou River is a tributary of the Chu River that bends obliquely to the south on the west side of Tingzi Mountain, and flows into the Yangtze River thirty miles southwest of Dasi Mountain.
The Wushou River is silted up and shallow. Affected by the terrain of the river beach, it has changed its course frequently over hundreds of years. It has never been the main waterway connecting the Chu River to the Chu River.
However, in the past half year, the Wushou River, Yuxi River and the estuary channel downstream of the Chu River have been the top priority of Tangyi's dredging work. At this time, in the cold winter, the Wushou River can also be used for large-winged boats.
, Red Horse Boat and other warships passed by.
In order to welcome the bride, more than 20 boats were connected with each other on the Wushou River in the northwest direction of Dasi Mountain, and they were fixed with iron ropes to build a pontoon bridge nearly a hundred steps long.
A village with more than 100 households on the west bank of the pontoon was also temporarily vacated to serve as a temporary camp before the escorting procession entered Liyang City.
The gate of the village is tied with colorful silk.
In addition to the village, an additional large camp was built, with two to three hundred tents set up, stretching endlessly.
Even at the moment when Han Qian rushed to the banks of the Wushou River to pick up his bride, thousands of able-bodied people were hired to brave the biting cold wind to repair the post roads along the way.
Cover all potholes with a layer of fine sand.
All this was done to show that everyone in Tangyi attached great importance to the wedding, as if they wanted the bride to walk all the way into Liyang City without feeling a single bump in the road.
At this time, not only on both sides of the Wushou River, but also along the south bank of the Chu River, there were groups of brightly-armored soldiers carrying big flags and hunting in the low wind.
There were constant cavalrymen galloping back and forth, shouting loudly to inform them of the location and distance of the wedding party.
"The Marquis of Qianyang is so impressive!"
This time Yin Peng resigned from the post of Sima of Yangzhou at the same time as Wang Wenqian and Yin Peng, but he did not want to follow Wang Wenqian to Chuzhou, but insisted on being an elder and marrying Wang Jun to Tangyi as his elder.
Han Donghu welcomed Wang Jun and sent his relatives and horses into Tangyi City, and first rested in Tangyi City for a night.
This morning Tian Cheng wanted to personally lead his elite troops to escort Wang Jun's car. At the same time, he personally rushed to Liyang to watch the ceremony and drink the wedding wine.
As the number of people and horses increased, the speed slowed down. When they heard that Han Qian would come to the Wushou River to welcome him, Yin Peng, Wang Tang, Huo Xiao and other Wang family children rushed over to meet Han Qian first. They also took the opportunity to discuss the wedding. During the marriage process, they might
Some etiquette that require special attention.
When they came out of Tangyi City and saw the troops and horses arrayed along the south bank of the Chu River, they were sincerely moved.
Yin Peng didn't think much about it. He thought that in addition to showing off his military power, Han Qian was mainly prepared to guard against what the enemy troops in the north would do on his wedding day, so he took Wang Zang, Huo Xiao, Huo Li and other Wang family nephews to cross first.
Crossing the Wushou River to see Han Qian.
In addition to Zhao Wuji, Gao Shao and others, Han Qian was accompanied by Han Daochang.
Han Daochang also seriously grabbed Yin Peng and the two elders of the Wang family to discuss many etiquette issues for the wedding.
At dusk, Wang Jun crossed the Wushou River and met Han Qian in Tiancheng, escorted by many soldiers and horses led by Feng Xuan and others.
According to the rules, Han Qian could not meet Wang Jun again before worshiping in the church.
Therefore, Han Qian temporarily lived in the village, while Wang Jun and his relatives and horses lived in the temporary camp on the east side of the village.
That night, Han Qian held a banquet in the village. He first invited Tian Cheng, Feng Xuan, Yin Peng, the elder of the Wang clan, and his descendants Wang Tang, Wang Yan, Wang Che, Huo Li, and Huo Xiao to attend the banquet.
When they were full of wine and food, Han Qian was about to arrange for Yin Peng and others to stay in a temporary house to rest, when Wang Jun, wearing a bright red wedding dress, opened the door and walked in.
A cold wind came in, causing the lights in the hall to sway.
"Why did you break in? No matter how late you are, you won't miss it until this day!" A member of the Wang clan said with a smile.
He wouldn't blame Wang Jun for not knowing etiquette. At this time, he would jokingly laugh at her for being too eager. Who could not wait to meet her husband the night before they got married?
"You can't wait to get married, so you want to lead the army to attack Chaozhou?" Wang Jun held up the wide skirt of his wedding dress, careful not to get it stained with mud, and looked at Han Qian and asked.
After hearing Wang Jun's question, Yin Peng, who was about to tease her, suddenly sobered up from his drunkenness and looked at Han Qian blankly.
"How did you guess it?" Han Qian ignored Yin Peng and others' surprise and asked with a smile.
