Han Dao world

Chapter 253
Cai Yan returned to the tent full of doubts, and sat in front of the case in a daze.

There was a soft knock at the tent door, and Tang Ji walked in. Seeing Cai Yan like this, she couldn't help being puzzled.

"Zhao Ji, what's wrong?"

"Ma'am." Cai Yan came back to his senses and hurriedly got up to greet her.

"I haven't seen you for a few days, how about sleeping with you tonight?"

"I can't ask for it." Cai Yan smiled, and quickly ordered people to prepare.Leading Tang Ji to sit down in front of the case, looked carefully at the light, and said with a smile: "Madam looks good. It seems that there is something to do. Although it is hard, you can forget your worries."

"This is your wife's own explanation." Tang Ji joked: "Look at you, your face is dizzy, and your complexion is much better than mine."

Cai Yan touched his face, sighed, and repeated what the queen said just now.

"Ma'am, what does the empress mean?" Cai Yan was very aggrieved. "Although I get along with the emperor day and night, I strictly abide by the etiquette of my ministers and never dare to go beyond the slightest. Could it be that the queen has misunderstood?"

Tang Ji thought for a moment, then smiled softly: "It's not that she misunderstood you, but she thinks it's inevitable, so it's better to go with the flow."

"Ma'am, why do you say that?" Cai Yan was a little anxious. "I fell into the enemy's camp, and lost all my reputation. Your Majesty did not think I was humble, and allowed me to continue my father's unfinished business with the post of Lantai Commander. I am inexplicably grateful, how dare I have such ambitions?"

Tang Ji pressed Cai Yan's hand. "Zhao Ji, don't worry. What I said is unavoidable. I don't refer to you, but to the harem. Just now, I was talking with the emperor outside the imperial tent. I mentioned the ladies of the Xunfu. The queen probably heard it, so Have this heart."

Only then did Cai Yan come to his senses and heaved a sigh of relief. "But I..."

"It's normal for the queen to have such thoughts. You don't have to be nervous. If you have the heart, then go along with the flow and accept her favor. If you don't have the heart, no one can force you."

Cai Yan felt relieved.

"However, I also suggest that you go with you. The emperor Beishou, it is inevitable to deal with the Huns. You can help the emperor by knowing the Xiongnu language, which is impossible for others. It is not easy for them to understand some customs of the Huns. There are very few people who have really come into contact with the Huns and are proficient in the Huns language. The emperor has you alone, which is equivalent to having a historian and a translator at the same time, how convenient it is.”

Cai Yan looked at Tang Ji, hesitant to speak.

"Don't rush to make a decision." Tang Ji smiled and said, "Even if you don't think twice, it is necessary to think again."

-

On the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, Yang Biao received the edict and rushed to the camp outside the city with Hu Chuquan.

Liu Xie led them up to the general platform and pointed.

"What does Shan Yu think of my cavalry?"

Hu Chuquan came all the way, a little out of breath, wheezing and wheezing, without thinking too much, followed Liu Xie's finger to look, he held his breath halfway, and there was a burst of gold stars in front of his eyes, and he almost fainted.

Under the platform stood six rows of cavalry, each with about fifty cavalry.

These cavalry are well-armored, holding halberds, swords and bows hanging on their waists, and two huge quiveres hanging on their horses.

The cavalryman's helmet covered his face, so he couldn't see his face, but he could feel the murderous look in his eyes.

The position of three hundred cavalry is not very large, but it is as majestic as a mountain, making people breathless.

"A...Jia Qi?" Hu Chuquan clenched his fists and slapped his chest hard, finally letting his breath go.

"Shanyu is still knowledgeable." Liu Xie grinned. "Is my cavalry worth using?"

Hu Chuquan spat and wanted to curse.

Worthy of use?Your armored cavalry is simply a killer, isn't it?
I've seen people showing off their wealth, but I've never seen you showing off your wealth like this.

There are indeed armored cavalry on the grassland, but firstly, there are not so many of them, and secondly, the equipment is not so refined and complete.Most of the armored cavalry used leather armor, and only powerful generals would be equipped with iron armor, and most of those armors were extremely rough, comparable to the armor worn by these armored cavalry in front of them.

I have heard for a long time that the Hedong Iron Officer is skilled, and today I finally saw it with my own eyes.

"Your Majesty has these armored cavalry, which can run across the grassland for thousands of miles." Hu Chuquan couldn't hide his envy.

"With Shan Yu's words, I feel relieved." Liu Xie said, "The three hundred armored cavalry were built by me with a lot of money, just to help Shan Yu succeed to the throne."

"Your Majesty's grace is immense, and I am so grateful that I can't repay it." Hu Chuquan broke out in a cold sweat from fright.

Whether the three hundred armored knights were prepared for those rebels or for him, he couldn't tell.

"It's easy to say." Liu Xie waved his hand in a calm manner. "Since Shanyu thinks it's useful, please go to Pingyang with me, gather your troops, and go to Meiji to suppress the rebellion."

Before Hu Chuquan could react, Yang Biao became anxious first. "Your Majesty, the New Year is approaching, how could His Majesty not be here?"

Liu Xie looked at Yang Biao. "The Huns were rebellious and could not be put down. How could they worship their ancestors and heaven? If they can behead the traitors and bring them back to their ancestors, what's the point even if it's a few days late?"

"Otherwise, governing the country is based on etiquette, and etiquette cannot be discarded."

"Xun Wenruo said the day before yesterday that governing the country with benevolence, holding the three-foot law and whipping all the people is like carving a boat to seek a sword, which is definitely not kingly. Did Da Honglu forget? How can the country be governed like this?

Yang Biao was about to say more, but the emperor said again: "If Dahonghe has a heart, he might as well think about how to settle down and educate the Xiongnu. If there is a big victory in this expedition, there will be tens of thousands of captives. Should they stay in Xihe for grazing, or introduce them to the east of the river?" Farming, can Da Honglu care about it?"

Yang Biao sighed and said, "Your Majesty, the place where soldiers live and die, how can your majesty's ten thousand chariots be ignored? I dare you to ask your majesty to discuss with the minister, and then move after making a decision."

"Didn't I discuss it with the Minister? Da Honglu suggested sending the Northern Army to Taiyuan the day before yesterday, and I agreed."

"Your Majesty, you didn't say you would send troops before the year, right?" Yang Biao wanted to cry but had no tears. "Your Majesty has a sudden idea. How can we prepare food, grass and supplies in time? The new year is approaching, how can the soldiers set off with peace of mind?"

Liu Xie sighed lightly.

"Da Honglu, there are tens of thousands of soldiers in the army, how many of them are from Hedong? The court is in distress, and they can't even pay their salaries. How will they live this year? Murderous intentions are born in your heart. Instead of this, it is better to lead the army to fight against the rebellion. This is the New Year, Anyi is uneasy, blood is flowing like a river, wouldn't changing the Yuan become a joke?"

Cold sweat broke out on Yang Biao's forehead, and he didn't dare to say any more.

The meaning of the emperor is very clear, if he is not allowed to go to Meiji to suppress the rebellion, he will kill people in Anyi.

Anyi also rebelled, but he was let off by Shi Sunrui, so that the emperor is now so stretched that he can't even pay his salary.

Liu Xie turned around and waved.

Someone came over and presented two sets of vests, human armor, bows and arrows, and swords.

"This is my New Year's gift to Shan Yu, and I hope Shan Yu will not be too cheap."

Liu Xie picked up the saber and pulled it halfway with a "swish". The sun shone on the bright blade, and Hu Chuquan's eyes were suddenly illuminated.

Hu Chuquan subconsciously raised his hand to cover his eyes, and it took him a while to get used to the light in front of him.

"Good knife!" Hu Chuquan praised.

This knife is not only exquisitely decorated, the blade is bright and cold, and it also has exquisite patterns.

One can tell at a glance that it is the famous Bailian Baodao of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Xie smiled slightly. "If it's not a good sword, why cut off the heads of the rebellious ministers and thieves?"
