Three thousand elite cavalry are ready to go. The men are like tigers and the horses are like dragons. They are hunting with war flags, their helmets are bright and their fighting spirit is awe-inspiring.
Han Sui dressed up and bowed again. "Your Majesty, take care. I'm leaving."
Liu Xie, who was standing on the high platform, nodded. "General, I wish you a smooth journey, immediate success, and frequent good news."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Han Sui tried his best to control his emotions so as not to make a fool of himself on such a grand occasion. When he thought of going to Guanzhong to prepare for the war, and soon he would have to lead tens of thousands of elite cavalry out of Guanzhong to compete with Yuan Shao, he felt his heart beating.
accelerate.
Liu Xie turned to look at Huang Yi, Jiang Ji, and the ten military advisers behind them, and said solemnly: "You must assist the general well, and don't let me or Liangzhou down."
"Wei!" Huang Yi and others agreed in a loud voice.
Liu Xie slightly tilted his head.
Han Sui turned around, got on his horse, raised his arms and shouted, "Let's go!"
Three thousand soldiers mounted their horses.
"Woo woo" the horn sounded with a long tone.
"Dong dong" the war drums sounded, the sound was majestic.
The drums and drums followed, and the sound was loud, high-pitched, and touching.
Han Sui lightly kicked the horse's belly, causing the snow-white Xiliang horse to neigh, spread out its four hooves, and gallop forward.
Huang Yi and Jiang Ji followed, embraced Han Sui, and headed south.
Liu Xie stared at the soldiers passing by, his face calm and his eyes bright.
Jia Xu and Ma Teng stood aside, their eyes a little moist.
"The wind is so strong today." Jia Xu said softly.
"Yes, there is also sand." Ma Teng agreed.
Liu Xie didn't look back, he just raised the corner of his mouth slightly.
Zhang Xiu, Ma Yunlu and others under the high platform also suppressed laughter and did not dare to destroy the solemn atmosphere in front of them. They were still young and only thought about making achievements. They did not know what their parents had gone through, and they did not have so much sentimentality.
When all the soldiers passed by the high platform, Liu Xie turned around, ignored Jia Xu and Ma Teng, and got off the high platform. Cao Ang brought his mount, Liu Xie got on his horse, and turned back to the camp.
Jia Xu and Ma Teng looked at each other and smiled.
"Let's go."
"Sir, please." Ma Teng stepped aside politely.
Jia Xu was not polite. He got off the general platform first and got on his horse. When Ma Teng caught up, they walked side by side.
"Shucheng, what do you think?"
"Envy, a little bit jealous." Ma Teng said with a smile.
"That's not necessary." Jia Xu said, "Follow the Emperor well and you will have a bright future."
Ma Teng blinked and moved closer to Jia Xu. "Sir, Yunlu's matter..."
"Don't worry." Jia Xu raised his chin and motioned to look at Liu Xie and Ma Yunlu in front of him. "Can't you see? The overall situation has been decided, it just needs an appropriate opportunity. If you are impatient, find a way to recruit more Qiang women.
Just enter the camp. I guess the emperor didn't want to affect Yunlu's achievements, so he didn't speak for a long time."
Ma Teng breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "In a daughter's family, one has to get married and have children after all. Establishing a career is not that important. Besides, she is already a Tinghou, and she is still not satisfied? Doesn't she have to surpass her father and brother?
Satisfied? One sect and three princes, I am already very satisfied."
Jia Xu glanced at Ma Teng, his beard trembled, and he wanted to slap him.
Back in the city, Liu Xie took off his formal clothes, put on his regular clothes, and came to the back hall.
Fushou, Xun Wenqian was sitting in the hall talking, while Liu Tai, the eldest son of the emperor, was sitting on the mat, laughing so happily that his saliva flowed all over the floor. When Liu Xie came in, Liu Tai crawled over while smiling.
Liu Xie picked him up and teased him for a while before handing him to He Shan and pinching He Shan's nose. "You should also hold on tight."
He Shan blushed. "It's not that I don't hurry up, it's that your Majesty is too busy."
"I'm not busy now." Liu Xie laughed and sat down in the hall. "General Zhenxi has gone to Guanzhong, and now this golden city belongs to me. I need to take a good rest for a while."
"Your Majesty is not going to Guanzhong?" Fushou and Xun Wenqian said in unison.
"I won't go for now." Liu Xie thought for a moment and then said, "It won't be too late to leave when the melon fields outside the city have a good harvest."
Fu Shou and Xun Wenqian exchanged a look, both of them a little puzzled. They did plant some melons outside the city, but Liu Xie's stay in Jincheng was definitely not for those melons. He had more important things to do, but just a little before
There was no sound of wind.
Almost everyone thought that the emperor was going to Guanzhong to prepare for war. Now it seems that they were all wrong.
"Do you want to go see the Queen Mother of the West's Yaochi?" Liu Xie said suddenly.
Xun Wenqian was surprised. "Your Majesty is going to the West Sea?"
Liu Xie nodded. "I want to see with my own eyes how those Qiang people are living. I can't just listen to what they say. After all, there are only a few people who can come to Jincheng to meet the emperor. The more Qiang people don't know what their emperor looks like."
Sample."
Fu Shou said: "Your Majesty is dedicated to enlightenment, which is naturally a journey of a saint. However, the Western Sea is far away, and the Qiang people... live in pursuit of water and grass. I'm afraid..."
Halfway through Fu Shou's words, he glanced at He Shan and Hu Xiu next to him and closed his mouth in shame. Although He Shan and Hu Xiu were not from Jincheng, they were both Qiang people. Such words were not suitable to be said in front of them.
.She was also anxious for a moment and made a mistake. Even though she changed her words in time, it was still inevitable that others would hear her as strange.
"How far is it? In the future, I will go to the Western Regions, to Kunlun." Liu Xie laughed. "It is said in the classics that the ancient gods came from Kunlun. Now Kunlun is right in front of you. Don't you want to go and take a look?"
"I want to." Hu Xiu jumped up and clapped his hands. "I have heard my mother talk about Kunlun Mountain and the Queen Mother of the West since I was a child. I have always wanted to see it, but there is no such opportunity. If your Majesty goes, you must take me with you."
"Let's go together, let's go together." Liu Xie laughed loudly.
Xun Wenqian's eyes flashed slightly. "Your Majesty, I'm afraid it will take half a year to go, and it will be the New Year again, right? If there are changes in the Guandong War, Your Majesty will not have a Cepheid to drive."
"I want to go to the West Sea because I don't want such an incident to happen." Liu Xie put away his smile. "As long as Liangzhou is stable, even if there are twists and turns in the Kanto War, it will not affect the foundation. But if the Han and Qiang cannot live in peace, even if Kanto is pacified,
The world still can’t last long
An. When Qin was able to unite the world, it was not only because of the relationship, but also because Longyou was pacified first, so that there would be no worries before he could fully manage the East. Now that I have come here, I must solve the problem as fundamentally as possible, instead of
Just taste it and stop."
Xun Wenqian was thoughtful, thought for a while, and then said: "Does Your Majesty still want to cross Congling and reach the west of the Western Region?"
Liu Xie nodded. "If my ideas can be implemented one by one, maybe we can go further."
Fu Shou couldn't help but said: "How far is further?"
Before Liu Xie spoke, Xun Wenqian pursed her lips and smiled. "Your Highness, I'm afraid your Majesty is going to visit Anthony's hometown. They say that all the silk of my big man was sold there in the end. The merchant's camel team can come, and your majesty's cavalry can come.
Of course we can come. It's a pity that neither you nor I can ride a horse, so I'm afraid we won't be able to accompany His Majesty on the expedition."
Fu Shou raised his eyebrows slightly and his eyes moved. "Your Majesty, is it too late for me to learn to ride a horse now?"
