Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 302 Never Heard
This is a field where the grass grows and the warbler flies. The wind is sunny and the spring is full. From a distance, you can see a city wall with a completely different style from the Central Plains.

The city wall is not tall, but it is thick and continuous. You can see many lightly dressed soldiers wandering back and forth on the city wall. People often enter and leave the city gate. Most of the people are still naked. Of course, There were also merchants dressed in gems and gorgeously dressed, who led the caravan slowly out of the city surrounded by slaves.

The sun just rose, the merchant was cross-legged, under the umbrella, smiling, enjoying the fruit food in front of him, and a young maid gently wiped his beard.

Suddenly, a horn sounded in the distance.

The horn sound was sharp and long, with several rounds, resounding between heaven and earth.

Immediately, the ground began to tremble.

The merchant's eyes widened and he looked into the distance blankly.

On the high slope in the distance, the flag slowly appeared.

With that trembling, the crisp sound of hoofs came.

There were cavalrymen all over the mountains and plains. These cavalrymen were wearing armor, helmets, and full armor. I couldn't see how many they were. I looked around, and everywhere I could see, there were cavalry charging, and those people died. Staring at the city wall, he was ferocious. At that moment, the merchant panicked, he shouted, and immediately turned around to enter the city wall.

The soldiers on the city wall also shouted, roaring, and hurriedly took out their bows and arrows.

The knights drew their bows and shot arrows, and the rain of arrows instantly covered the sky, and almost no one could survive under this rain of arrows.

Hu Tu kicked away the corpse in front of him and rushed into the hall. Soon after, he grabbed a fat man by the back of the neck, dragged him out, and threw him in front of Ji Conge.

"Brother, this is the king of the car master!"

The man's costume had a few cracks, and his eyes were full of fear at the moment, he looked at Ji Conge, and asked loudly: "We have never forgotten to pay tribute to Da Shanyu, and send war horses every year. , obeyed Da Chanyu's orders to fight, and did not make any mistakes, why did you kill my people? Break my city?!"

Hu Tu took out a dagger from nowhere, pulled the chariot master, and was about to stab him in the abdomen.

"No."

Ji Conge interrupted him, he looked at the shivering Che Shi Wang, and said seriously: "The strong enemy is outside, I am the cavalry of the Tang people who are here to help you defend against the enemy. You must have seen it before. Majesty, it all depends on the head of the enemy, especially a king like you, you can be made a prince if you kill him."

"At the moment, only when we unite can we deal with a strong enemy."

"I won't kill you, you can still live a rich life."

"However, from now on, Cheshi will be the city of the Xiongnu. I will make you the King of Huns. Are you willing to accept it?"

The Master King wanted to say something, but Hu Tu snorted coldly and raised the dagger in his hand again.

The car master hurriedly nodded, "I promise!"

Ji Porridge smiled and asked someone to take the King Che Shi Wang down to rest.

Hu Tu was a little puzzled, "Big brother, why didn't you kill him?"

"There are more than [-] countries in the Western Regions. If you kill him, the countries will not dare to surrender in the future. If you don't kill the prisoners, you can reduce the enemy's heart of resistance."

Hu Tu seemed to understand, but he grinned, "Brother, although the Hexi has been lost, this Western Region is also a treasure land. This chauffeur is really the best pasture, and if he can still farm here, he is still very good. I thought we were in the North, but I didn't know we were going to fight the Western Regions!"

Ji Cong frowned, "You can't despise these Tang people, you can't hide it from them for a long time, and when they can no longer move troops, rectify the Western Regions with the Western Regions as the foundation, keep the front in Dunhuang, continue westward, and expand the territory. I heard merchants say that in the west, there is a place where people do nothing, and they can eat and eat, which is a fairyland on earth."

"Brother, you believe in this nonsense, those businessmen are trying to deceive your property!"

Ji Conge smiled, "Okay, for now, we still have to capture the Western Regions, and the rest will be discussed later."

"Brother, why don't you allow us all to fight? It's a pity that so many herdsmen can't go to the battlefield. Our strength is not even [-]."

Hu Tu frowned.

Ji Conge laughed again, he sat in the upper seat, let Hu Tu sit beside him, and asked seriously: "Why is Tang's army so strong?"

"It's because their army is not engaged in farming on weekdays. They practice all day, and their generals don't think about how to graze and loot. They are all preparing for war. If we don't set up a standing army, how can we compare to Tang's? What about the army? So I specially selected elites so that they would not do other things, and appointed a group of nobles to go to battle. The iron we saved can arm our elite standing army."

"Don't worry. Let's watch it. The number of our troops has decreased, but the combat power will never decrease."

"You're a big danyu, you have the final say."

Ji Cong, after commanding the Xiongnu, carried out a lot of reforms, from the law to the official system, and even in the military. He began to integrate various tribes, abolished barbaric customs, imitated the Tang state everywhere, and created new military nobles to match the old nobles. Confrontation, win over sages and scholars from all over the world, attach importance to craftsman skills, take the initiative to protect the personal safety of herdsmen, and do not allow officials and nobles to kill at will.

In a short period of time, the Huns had undergone tremendous changes.

Hu Tu couldn't understand his brother's operations at all, but he was very convinced. He believed that maybe his brother would do better than Father!

"Go and bring the witches, and do a divination for the nobles in this city, and let them know what will happen if they resist the Huns."

"only!!"

Outside Chang'an City, Liu Chang reluctantly looked at Luan Bu in front of him.

Luan Bu and Zhou Bo are leaving.

There was news from the defenders on the Hexi side that the knights who were out patrolling encountered the Xiongnu army, and Zhou Bo and Luan Bu could no longer be delayed, and they needed to go to Hexi immediately.The three guys from Zhou Bo's family were saying goodbye to their father, and Zhou Bo was very indifferent.

And Liu Chang was holding Luan Bu's hand, "You have to be careful, take good care of Hexi. If there is an official who doesn't obey, he will be hacked."

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I know what to do."

"There are so many beasts there, don't go out alone. Remember to bring armored soldiers wherever you go."

"I know it."

Liu Chang waved his hand reluctantly, Luan Bu smiled, and followed Zhou Bo and the others to leave Chang'an.

"Ugh"

Liu Chang sighed.

"Your Majesty. Now that Tingwei doesn't dare to arrest you, what are you sighing for?"

"It's those young masters who should sigh, no one will catch them!"

Zhou Shengzhi said with a smile.

"I still remember when the king took Luan Jun away, we lived too hard in Chang'an, that donkey Tingwei."

Several people walked towards the city while talking.

Liu Chang looked a little absent-minded. Sitting in the car, Liu Chang just looked around quietly. He still remembered the scene when people quarreled around him and stared at him all the time. That was really the happiest memory. Ah, now that they have gone their separate ways, I don't know when the next gathering will be.

Just when Liu Chang was thinking about it, two cars suddenly appeared in the distance.

Two cars blocked the road.

The grooms who drove the car, including the two people in the car, were pointing at each other and yelling at each other.

"Old man! Make way for me! Let me go first!"

"Traitor! Why let you go first?!"

The two people who were yelling in the car were Zhang Budo and Zhaoping.

"What are you arguing about here?!"

Liu Chang asked rudely and loudly.

The two were shocked when they saw the king, and hurriedly got out of the car to meet him.

"Your Majesty, I was going to send Luan Bu, but this fellow is blocking me, and I am not allowed to go!"

Zhang Budo immediately pointed at Zhaoping and complained.

Zhao Ping's face darkened, "Your Majesty, I'm going to see Jun Luan. This fellow was following behind me, but he suddenly overtook me and nearly collided with my carriage. Then he forced me to give way! How could I? humiliated by this?"

"The road on the west side of the river is wide, why don't you go there to make a noise?"

Zhao Ping resisted his anger, but he could only admit that he was unlucky and let his master get out of the way, but Zhang Budo had a smile on his face, "Old man, would you be better off doing this earlier?"

He ignored the angry Mr. Zhao and hurriedly took the book from the car.

"Your Majesty, this is Shen Buha's book, and there are a lot of his memorial letters and so on. There is no second copy in the whole world."

"The Flatterer"

Liu Ying excitedly looked at the book in her hand, her eyes widened, and she read it word by word.

Chang Liu couldn't understand it. Isn't it just a book?As for being excited like this?
"Eldest brother, the treasure, this is the most precious treasure!"

"Okay, treasure, you can see it later, did you go to the elder sister's place?"

Only then did Liu Ying put down the book, with a smile all over her face, as if she had no doubts, "Of course I will go, how can I neglect the things that my family milk tiger explained? Don't worry, your elder sister doesn't have any at all. It's your fault, but instead, I reprimanded your elder sister. My elder sister seems to be ill, but she doesn't have any resentment."

"That's good. I can visit with peace of mind. I'm afraid he will still hold grudges against me. If he says a few more words and I can't help hitting him, how can eldest sister forgive me?"

"Huh?? You still want to beat your sister-in-law?"

"He is over fifty years old, and he is not my opponent!"

Liu Chang said very proudly.

"Eldest brother, you can't do this, you have to respect the old." Liu Ying immediately turned on the mode of reasoning. Mr. Liu was shocked, and after explaining that he still had important things, he left here in a hurry.When he was about to leave, he happened to meet the three little guys outside the door. At this moment, they were all downcast and helpless.

"What are you doing here?"

Liu Xiang looked at him and said faintly, "Thanks to Father Zhong, now my grandfather teaches us lessons every day and teaches us how to be human."

"Hahaha, listen carefully! Brother, this is for your own good!"

Liu Chang unceremoniously pushed the three little guys into the palace, feeling refreshed and strode out of the palace.

Zhang Ao still has to be appeased. The eldest sister is very good to Liu Chang, and her elder sister has helped Liu Chang many times. Although her elder sister has some shortcomings, she is not guilty of death. Speaking of which, he is just a man who yearns for a hero in the pre-Qin Dynasty." "Young man", it's just that he shields sinners, which is a bit too much.Liu Chang knew very well in her heart that with her grandmother's character, she would not allow a person who resented herself to continue to live.

My mother is always very decisive in the choice of state affairs and personal affairs.

And to deal with a person like Zhang Ao who is not very wise, I am afraid that my mother has nine ways to kill him.

"Big sister!"

Liu Chang walked into the princess's mansion with a smile. Princess Lu Yuan's original mansion was given to Liu Chang as the mansion of the Tang Dynasty, and now the residence is the new residence given by the empress dowager.

Liu Le glared at him, then looked at Zhang Ao.

Zhang Ao lowered his head and looked lost, but he never raised his head to look at Liu Chang.

Liu Chang was not restrained, and sat directly beside Zhang Ao, "Sister-in-law? What's wrong with you? Why are you looking so depressed?"

Zhang Ao's mouth trembled, he glanced at Liu Chang in disbelief, and then said, "I'm fine."

"Sister-in-law! What do you have to tell the widow! The widow will stand up for you!"

Liu Chang patted his chest with a righteous expression.

"Eldest brother, you have hurt me miserably."

Zhang Ao shook his head in pain, "I've lost all face now. No one in the whole world dares to come and defect to me. They say I'm a villain who betrayed my friends."

Liu Chang laughed.

"Sister-in-law, these people are just taking advantage of you, what kind of friends are they?"

"Contacting with these people doesn't do you any good. Instead, it will get you into big trouble. You used to shelter those criminals, do you think we don't know? You know that Chen Ping has played six times and wants to execute you. , and that Zhou Chang, who also reported that you should be boiled and killed, and it was the widow who had been discouraging them!"

"Those people are bullying the people locally and making friends with them. Do you want to go to Hexi to repair the emperor's mausoleum?"

Zhang Ao was shocked, "I have never made a mistake, so why should I cook and kill?"

"Never made a mistake? Isn't it wrong to shelter sinners?"

"Sister-in-law, the state of Wei has perished, and Lord Xinling has long since died. The sinners of today are not the ones who were sheltered by Lord Xinling and the others who killed the nobles who bullied them, but the wicked who killed the innocent people indiscriminately. The next thing is actually what Chen Ping suggested. You know, few people read books, what they are best at on weekdays is fighting, and other things, they don't understand."

Zhang Ao looked at him blankly, speechless.

"I told you a long time ago, and you also said that I am a woman, and I don't know anything!"

Liu Le said angrily, "Are you going to destroy Yan and Yan?"

"You can't say that, brother-in-law, why do you want to make friends with those scumbags? Come with me, I'll show you the virtuous people in this dynasty!"

Liu Chang pulled Zhang Ao and walked out. Zhang Ao glanced at Liu Le, and Liu Le nodded.

As soon as the two walked out of the door, they saw a man approaching aggressively. He pointed at Zhang Ao and was about to say something when he suddenly saw the tall figure beside Zhang Ao, and he was stunned.

"Who are you? What are you doing?"

Liu Chang asked.

"Meeting the king, this minister is a friend of Zhang Jun. I heard that Zhang Jun is unwell, so I came to visit him specially."

"I have something important to do today, come back another day!"

"only!"

Chang Liu took Zhang Ao and chatted all the way, and soon came to a mansion. Chang Liu asked for a knock on the door, and someone came out to greet him immediately.

Liu Chang smiled and brought Zhang Ao to meet this person and entered the inner room. Zhang Ao found that the house was simple and shabby. However, the man in front of him was very imposing, and his face made him feel a little awe. Three After the person sat down, Liu Chang exchanged greetings for a while before saying to the person, "This is my sister-in-law Zhang Ao, you must know him."

The man nodded.

Zhang Ao looked at this man suspiciously, only to think that he was a little familiar.

"Sister-in-law, this person is the real wise man in Chang'an. He was the counselor who followed my grandfather to start the country. His name is Liu Jing."

"what?!"

Zhang Ao jumped up abruptly and looked at Liu Jing in front of him in astonishment. In the eyes of Zhang Ao and these wealthy families, Liu Jing's reputation was really worse than that of King Tang. Every time they met, the first thing they had to do was The matter is to slander and abuse this Liu Jing together, Zhang Ao has heard his name for a long time.

"Sister-in-law, didn't you say that those friends abused you? With this person here, they wouldn't dare to scold you again!"

Liu Chang pulled him down and sat down, and said seriously: "Liu Gong is the leader of the great sages of the Han Dynasty. The widows also misunderstood him before, but after understanding his character, he couldn't help but be convinced by him. People are worth making friends with!"

Liu Jing also smiled and said gently: "I am also very happy to make friends with you. You are not those scum and never bully the people. I admire you very much."

Hearing that this notorious guy was being so polite to him, Zhang Ao's complexion immediately improved, and he replied with a smile, "Don't dare, Liu Gongwei is famous."

Liu Jing firmly grasped Zhang Ao's weakness and flattered him in various ways. Zhang Ao soon began to look happy, and the two of them talked very much.

Talking about his own situation to the wealthy families in various places, Zhang Ao talked about the grand pomp of those friends and the interesting stories of all kinds of comparisons. Liu Jing listened carefully and cheered him with a smile.

"That's really amazing? Kill more than a hundred sheep and eat only their kidneys?"

"Yeah, hahaha, Zhao Sheng did this, but Wang Sheng was not happy. He bought a horse from nowhere."

Zhang Ao said happily, and Liu Jing smiled even more kindly.

Liu Chang didn't want to disturb these two new friends, so he left here.

He happily returned to the Hall of Houde, and Cao Shu asked in surprise when he saw him like this: "Why is Your Majesty so happy today?"

"Hahaha, the widow has done another big thing!"

Liu Changzheng was about to brag to Cao Shu, but Liu An walked in helplessly.

Liu Chang looked at him suspiciously, "Aren't you going to study at Liuhou? Why did you come back so early?"

Liu An shook his head and said bitterly: "Liuhou didn't teach me today, his house has been robbed! I'm so anxious that I don't even have the heart to teach."

"Ah? Who dares to steal Liuhou? What have you lost?"

"It was said that a book was lost, and Master Shen's book was in a panic and was searching everywhere."

"Oh this book"

"What? Does Grandpa also know about this book?"

"Never heard of it."

ps: It's a brand new month again, and the children cast their monthly votes!
