Back to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Chapter 574

After marching for more than ten days, we arrived at Dunhuang, and then we could go out of Yumen Pass and Yang Pass not far to the west. After leaving the pass, we left Liangzhou and entered the border of the Western Regions.

During this march, local officials sent supplies along the way. Although there were hundreds of thousands of troops, not only did the food and grass not be consumed, but there were also some local specialties. The morale of the troops was always high.

In the front, under the attack of Han Sui, Ma Xiu and San Yuan, the Wusun Kingdom and the Xiongnu retreated steadily, and finally fled westward with their entire family.

At Guo Jia's suggestion, Yuan Yao ordered the army to temporarily station in Dunhuang, waiting for the battle report ahead.

"I don't know this battle, when will I be able to come back! I wonder if the children will remember me when I come back?"

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Yuan Yao lowered his head and stroked the green sword. He had already begun to miss his wife and children at home. He couldn't imagine that one day in the future, when he returned triumphantly, hundreds of children would suddenly run out of the yard. , everyone looked at him with curious eyes!But no one knows who he is!

On this long journey, he will be accompanied by this green sword! !
After the destruction of Cao Cao, Cao Cao's other sword, the Yitian Sword, also belonged to Yuan Yao. In addition to the jade sword handed down by Feng's ancestors, Yuan Yao already had three peerless swords.

Before leaving, Yuan Yao gave the Yitian Sword to his father, Yuan Shu, the Supreme Emperor of the Dazhong Empire.

The jade sword was handed over to Lu Lingqi as her self-defense weapon to protect the safety of the crown prince.

"Your Majesty, Zhou Cang, General Zhengxi, seeks an audience!" At this time, Yang Wu, the commander of the imperial guards, came to report in a low voice.

"Invite him to come in quickly, I'm about to see him!" Yuan Yao raised his head immediately after hearing the sound, and hung the Qingzhi sword back on his body.

Not long after, with a burst of hearty laughter, Zhou Cang's black face appeared in the tent with a smile on his face.

"Second brother! Come quickly!" Yuan Yao greeted happily.

Zhou Cang smiled and knelt on the ground according to the etiquette. After seeing him as a courtier, he stood up and walked to Yuan Yao's side according to his order.

"Second brother, is there a happy event? Look at you laughing so hard that your mouth is splitting to the back of your head!! Ha ha!!" Yuan Yao smiled and pointed to the tiger skin spread on the wooden board, motioning Zhou Cang to sit down.

"Your Majesty, it's fine for me to stand still!" Zhou Cang didn't dare to go beyond the courtesy, and then clasped his fists together and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, I have expropriated camels according to my order, and the progress is gratifying. Overjoyed, they rushed to present their camels and volunteered to be guides!"

"Second brother, there are no outsiders here, so there is no need to be formal. When you and I were married, we swore to share the blessings, so you just sit down and don't call me Your Majesty. It's more pleasant to call me Big Brother! "Yuan Yao smiled and pressed Zhou Cang on the tiger skin mat.

Zhou Cang sat down according to his order, and soon his eyes turned red, he choked up a few times, and cried: "Brother, brother..., I, Zhou Cang, have no relatives in this world except my brother. , if it wasn't for the elder brother, Zhou Cang..."

Yuan Yao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, this silly Zhou Cang was talking nonsense again, what does it mean that only his elder brother is a relative, he is obviously not Zhou Cang's relative, okay?Moreover, Zhou Cang had already taken a wife and had children. Although he only had seven children, far from being able to compare with Yuan Yao, they were his real relatives! !

However, despite this, Yuan Yao was still very moved, and hurriedly reached out his hand to stop Zhou Cang from continuing, patted his back vigorously, and pretended to be majestic and said: "Second brother, how can you not treat your wife and children as relatives? This is wrong!!...Ah!!"

Zhou Cang was taken aback for a moment, realizing that he had said the wrong thing, smiled embarrassedly, wiped his eyes, and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

"Brother! I have a proposal! Do you want to hear it?" Soon, Zhou Cang showed a mysterious smile and whispered in Yuan Yao's ear.

Seeing Zhou Cang whispering, Yang Wu on the other side moved his ears closer.

"What suggestion?" Yuan Yao asked.

"Brother, you also know that the third brother has some relatives in his family, and now I am the only one in my family who is still alive. Whenever the night is quiet, I feel really lonely. So, can you, can you Let my daughter marry your son, let's have a kiss?" Zhou Cang said.

"Your daughter?" Yuan Yao stared at Zhou Cang's black face unacceptably.

"Brother, what do you think I am doing? I am black because of the sun, but my daughter was just born, but it is white! I swear, I will never lie!! If you don't believe me, wait until you look back!" Zhou Cang swore.

Yuan Yao shook his head, he traveled from the 21st century, how could he agree to such a baby kiss! !

"Second brother, marriage is not a joke, and..., well, I agree, but there is one condition, that is, you can choose whatever you want except the crown prince!!" Yuan Yaogang wanted to persuade him at first, but when he saw Zhou Cang With a sincere look, he couldn't help but soften his heart, and changed his mind to agree.

Zhou Cang was overjoyed at the moment, and immediately thanked him: "Thank you big brother!! Thank you big brother!! As long as you can really get in touch with big brother, Zhou Cang doesn't dare to dream of a higher status!!"

"Your Majesty!" Yang Wu who was at the side had a flash of light in his eyes at this moment, smiled and said with clasped fists.

Yuan Yao took a look and saw that Yang Wu looked at Zhou Cang with envy and surprise in his eyes, so he couldn't help but nodded in his heart.

Doll kiss is not impossible! !

He has a noble status now and is the most respected person in the world. Of course he would not be happy if he wanted his precious daughter to easily marry someone else. How could he let his daughter live an unhappy married life in the future?But on the other hand, if his subordinates betrothed their daughter to his son, and it was a son other than the crown prince, he would have nothing to lose at all! !

Men, even if they don't love each other, are happy to have wives and concubines in groups. A few more child relatives will not affect the future happiness of Yuan Yao's sons.

And this conditional marriage can not only reassure the hearts of the generals and make them more loyal, but also make the forces united around Yuan Yao stronger! !

Yuan Yao suddenly felt, should he have more sons?

"Hehe!! Yang Wu, I remember you also have a few daughters? If you want, your daughter can marry my son too!!" Yuan Yao said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, is this true?!" Yang Wu suddenly became excited.

"Of course, you're not joking, and it's not just that, if the next generation I wait for in the future, if they love each other, I won't forcefully stop their relationship!" Yuan Yao nodded in affirmation.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!!" Yang Wu thanked him.

"Exemption!" Yuan Yao said.

The three sat down again, and Yuan Yao thought about the camels that Zhou Cang said. If there were a thousand camels, on average, every one thousand people could get one camel. It will be smoother!
"Yang Wu, you go and send Dingxi Great General Sun Ce over to discuss matters!" Yuan Yao commanded.

"I obey, Your Majesty!!" Yang Wu stepped back happily.
