Riding and chopping: Overlord of the Han and Hungarians

223 Chapter 221, Handan

The four-way army went out of the fortress, and the total number of soldiers and horses in each department's headquarters exceeded [-].

Not to mention that there are many auxiliary soldiers and baggage teams.

After leaving the fortress, Gongsun Ao was on the left, Wei Qing's headquarters was in the middle, Gongsun He was in the vanguard, and Li Guang was in the rear.

Although the two kings of the Xiongnu on the right had been captured alive, under caution, Wei Qing dispatched a cavalry force of 3000 soldiers from his headquarters to occupy the right flank, under the command of Huo Qubing.

Except that Gongsun He's soldiers and horses were close to Wei Qing's headquarters, the distances between other departments were more than ten or even tens of miles.

The front line is opened, rushing to the exchange market.

right road.

Huo Qubing wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Uncle is still too careful. The captain said that if he captured the two kings alive, he must have captured the two kings alive. Why is it so hot today?"

"How, is there any hostility?"

Huo Qubing asked directly as he watched several groups of cavalry returning from horse riding.

"Reporting to the general, no enemy situation has been found."

"Damn, these Huns are so good at hiding. It's been almost a month, and none of the Huns have seen it."

"Is there a reply from uncle?"

"Yes, General Cheqi ordered the general to continue wandering on the right, and not to return without order!"

"Understood, how was the result over there?"

"Reporting to General, General Qingche raided an exchange market, but he didn't gain anything. The Huns seem to have known the news in advance and ran away."

"Huh, it's really a group of rats, let's continue to investigate!"

"promise!"

Huo Qubing is more heroic than before. His tall and straight body and powerful arms all indicate that he has extremely strong personal bravery.

But now, his uncle still protects him like a child, even though he has led thousands of horses to overthrow the Huns once before.

bored, distressed.

Huo Qubing missed Zhang Qi inexplicably.
-
"Ah!"

"Who's talking about me? This is it."

After sneezing extremely loudly, Zhang Qi murmured.

Bai Xing covered his mouth and snickered, and then brought cloth towels and hot tea.

"Your Majesty, be careful of the hot wind."

"Come on, I've seen you smile, so you're still pretending. Has Wang Li replied?"

"I'm back, I'm about to talk to your majesty."

"In the Han Dynasty, the emperor was enshrined as Marquis of Liao, and he lived in Liao. This is the first time I have seen the emperor of the Han Dynasty be so generous."

"What's the big deal, the frontier is already suffering, not to mention that Liao is full of marshes, how about asking for marriage?"

"I also agreed, and I am letting the Chang'an clan go to Zhao."

"Well, let's prepare the betrothal gift in advance, and send some gifts to my father-in-law by the way. Well, pick some warp spies to go. It's a rare opportunity to enter the Zhao Palace."

"Your Majesty."
-
Zhao country.

Handan.

Zhao Palace.

Linshui Bieyuan, willow branches ripple on the water surface, causing ripples.

A girl with a graceful figure in a palace skirt and yellow fir is sitting on a bluestone and paddling the water.

The girl's eyebrows and eyes are like peach blossoms, and her face is luxurious and reveals the germination of youth.

"Princess."

The hurried footsteps of the court lady woke the girl up.

She looked at the maid, her voice was like a lark, clear and sweet: "What's the matter?"

The little maid looked anxious: "Yes, it is Prince Dan, he is looking for you again, you should hide quickly."

Hearing what the little maid said, the girl's brows and eyes also flashed a little panic. She is Liu Rui, the third daughter of Zhao Wang Liu Pengzu.

"Quick, go to the palace of the father."

Liu Rui got up from the bluestone very quickly and ran to King Zhao's palace.

I don't know if it's a flower played by people with prominent families, or if the men of the Liu family are too perverted. Anyway, there are no normal people among the princes and kings. , even Liu Che likes male favorites. Although Zhao Wang himself is not promiscuous, he has a promiscuous son, who is now the Prince of Zhao, Liu Dan.

This guy's favorite thing to do is to commit adultery with his sisters. He has already captured several of Zhao Wang's daughters, and now he has extended his hands here.

Liu Rui carried her yellow cedar skirt and walked lightly towards King Zhao's palace, followed by several of her court ladies.

Running across the Qingshi trail and corridor, Liu Rui came all the way to the main hall where King Zhao worked.

Zhao Wang is different from other princes and kings. In Zhao State, Zhao Wang monopolizes the power.

No prime minister dared to intervene.

Because all the prime ministers who had interrogated were punished for one or another crime, the sensible ones returned to Chang'an with their lives alive, while the ignorant ones stayed in Zhao Guo forever.

At this moment, in the main hall, King Zhao is receiving guests, and a team of more than a dozen people is being warmly entertained by King Zhao.

When Liu Rui saw the door of the palace open, she ran in directly, attracting everyone's attention.

Liu Pengzu's face darkened, but now there are many people and they are all from the clan, so he said with a smile.

"Look, this girl also knew that she was going to marry, so she came here directly, hahaha."

The clansmen also smiled, but as clansmen, they value etiquette the most.

An older elder said bluntly: "Hehe, Princess Qingling is lively, but in order to get married, it is better to be more prudent."

It took some time for Princess Qingling and Liu Rui's title to be given, but Zhang Qi proposed to marry her, and she was of the right age, so the clan was established immediately.

It is also a place name of Zhao State, which is in line with the etiquette system.

Liu Rui was stunned at the moment, she just came to avoid Prince Dan, why is she going to get married?

"Father?"

Liu Rui looked at Liu Pengzu puzzled.

But Liu Pengzu laughed and said: "Your Majesty personally bestowed upon you the marriage, Marquis Zhang Qi of Liao, he is a hero. This time he captured the two kings of the Huns alive, and exalted my great Han power, so he is worthy of my precious daughter."

After the people from the clan came to explain the situation today, he only knew the meaning of the gifts sent from the Liao area a few months ago.

But since it was Liu Che who spoke, he couldn't disobey him. He was very clear about the methods of his younger brother.

In addition, Zhang Qi knew etiquette and held military power, so he was also a good candidate, so he agreed.

"Daughter is getting married soon?!"

"That's right, how about the husband-in-law my father picked for you? A young general, mighty and extraordinary, serving as the captain of the central part of Youzhou, and also a lieutenant."

Liu Rui's eyes flickered, and she saluted, "Father's eyes are naturally good. My daughter thanked my father. I wonder when my daughter will leave for Liao?"

"Oh, don't worry, if you want Princess Shang, then of course you have to choose an auspicious day."

Before Liu Pengzu could speak, people in the clan spoke up.

Liu Rui was in a hurry. Ever since she knew the face of Prince Dan, she wished she could leave Zhao Palace immediately.

"father"

"King Zhao, Marquis Zhang Qi of Liao sent a gift, just outside the gate of the palace, do you want to bring it in?"

"Bring it in, my son-in-law, it's just too polite, this is the second batch of gifts this year."

Liu Pengzu laughed, revealing some news.

The members of the clan nodded slightly, but did not make a sound.

Twelve burly men who had their weapons removed walked in, and with them came hundreds of large wooden boxes and the people who carried the wooden boxes.

"The captain of the Duwei Mansion in the middle of Youzhou, I have met King Zhao, the princess, and all the ministers."

The twelve burly men bowed their hands in unison, and their movements were uniform, giving people an extremely elite feeling.

Liu Pengzu's eyes narrowed.

The clans whispered to each other.

And Liu Rui's eyes lit up.
