This "battle" was even more intense than last night. It wasn't until dawn broke in the east that Ban Tao'er quietly slipped out of the window, but his movements were much slower than when he came in.
Back in the room, Ban Tou'er was still a little deformed when walking, and accidentally woke up Liya. Liya asked with blurred eyes: "Where have you been so early?"
Ban Tou'er hesitated and said: "I went to feed the child."
In the middle of the night, Liya had already woken up once and did not see Ban Tou'er. She must have gone to breastfeed the child at that time. Liya didn't know how many times the child needed to drink milk in a night. She was a little doubtful and was about to ask Ban.
Tou'er had already stretched himself and said, "I'll take the time to get some sleep. Remember to wake me up when Your Majesty leaves."
Over there, Liu Xin did not sleep again. She dressed neatly and walked outside, ready to wake up the two maids. However, she found that the two maids were sitting on the couch, with flushed cheeks and a depressed look. Only then did she remember that now
The house was not soundproofed at all, and the two of them made too much noise. It was obvious that the two maids had not slept well all night.
When the two maids saw Liu Xin coming out, they hurriedly got off the couch, bowed to Liu Xin and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to see the king?"
Liu Xinfang knew that what the two of them said last night was just an excuse for the latest chapter of the special war. Although he was a little annoyed, these things must have been ordered by Ban Taoer. He couldn't blame these two girls, so he nodded and said
: "Lead the way."
The two maids walked slowly in front, always squeezing their legs involuntarily. I don't know what their reaction was when they heard the movements of Liu Xin and Feng Tou'er yesterday. Liu Xin thought about the crazy scene just now and felt a little bit.
Feeling guilty, she turned her head and stopped looking at them, but suddenly she found Cleia holding her child and standing among the flowers nearby.
Cleia also saw Liu Xin, walked over quickly, and said with surprise on her face: "Your Majesty! Why are you here?"
Liu Xin laughed and said: "Clelia, I am here to say goodbye to the little king. I will leave soon. From now on, you must protect the queen mother and the little king well and don't let me down. Come, let me hug you.
Little king."
Cleya looked at Liu Xin suspiciously, then at the little king in her arms, and suddenly her expression changed. Now the Queen Mother is in charge of Kang Ju's country, and the little king is still in the age of nursing. In such a big country as Liu Xin
If the emperor wants to bid farewell, he only needs to meet the Queen Mother. There is no need to meet the little king. Comparing the looks of Liu Xin and the little king, they are clearly a father and son. A smart girl like Cleia,
How could you not see it?
Liu Xin knew she couldn't hide it, so she smiled awkwardly, took the child from Cleia's hand, teased it for a while, and suddenly asked: "Where is your sister?"
Cleia pointed to her face and said in blunt Chinese: "She is hurt, afraid, scaring the child!"
Liu Xin was stunned for a moment, sighed and said, "I know, please let her rest assured. I will hire a famous doctor to treat her."
After a while, Cleia took the child back from Liu Xin's hands and uttered three words: "Celica."
Liu Xin didn't understand what she was saying at first, but suddenly she came to her senses, nodded seriously, and said, "Don't worry, I will raise Selika until she is white and fat, and then leave it to your sisters to deal with it yourself!"
At this time, the child in Cleia's arms suddenly woke up and started crying. Liu Xin was about to comfort her, but Cleia said: "I'm hungry. I'm going to see the Queen Mother."
After saying that, without waiting for Liu Xin to answer, Cleia had already hurriedly hugged the child and went to look for Ben Tou'er. Liu Xin looked at Cleia's back and shook his head helplessly. He really wanted to pick up Ban Tou'er, mother and son.
If they go to Chang'an, I believe Ma Yun and the others will accept the mother and son, but Ban Tou'er is unwilling and Liu Xin has no choice.
At this time, Ban Tou'er had just fallen asleep and was snoring slightly when he heard Cleia shouting loudly from outside: "Queen Mother, the king is hungry."
Ban Tou'er sat up suddenly, waved his hand and said, "Hurry up and hug me."
Liya was dumbfounded as she watched Ban Tao'er unbutton his clothes and stuff the little pink cherry into the little guy's mouth. The little guy immediately stopped crying and his two pink little faces opened and closed.
She began to suck hard. Ban Tou'er's face was kind, and her tiredness disappeared. But Liya's heart kept beating, this child didn't look very grown up, how could he be so good at eating? She wouldn't be able to have children in the future.
Is it like this? Wouldn't it mean that she couldn't even sleep? Liya was already deeply worried.
It was daylight, and Ban Tou'er stood outside the palace gate and waved with tears in his eyes. He watched Liu Xin gradually go away, and his heart was full of melancholy. After this separation, he didn't know where to look before we could see each other again.
However, the ministers and nobles of Kangju were very excited because Liu Xin kept his promise and not only left 10,000 elite Han cavalry, but also 500 of the most powerful flying tiger guards. There were
With this Han army in Khotan City, they don't have to worry about the Kushan army coming back. Although the Kushan army is powerful, it is only relative to Kangju. No matter how ambitious they are, they cannot be the opponent of the Han Dynasty.
Liu Xin was so eager to return home that she rushed to Guishan City that night. Naturally, King Mozhiti of Dayuan extended his hospitality again.
In the past few days after Liu Xin left, Mo Zhiti took advantage of the last assassination of Liu Xin to cleanse the dissident forces in Dawan. He killed more than 30 nobles in a row and caused chaos in Dawan.
After the bloody storm, he finally experienced the pleasure of holding power, and now his whole body looked radiant.
Knowing that he had made such a big move, Liu Xin suddenly frowned and muttered: "Mo Zhiti, your murderous intention is too serious. This is not a good thing. From now on, you must put down the butcher knife immediately,
Turn to Renji!”
Mo Zhiti originally wanted to show off his merits to Liu Xin, but instead received a scolding from Liu Xin, who hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, your Majesty is teaching Xiao Wang to stop now."
Liu Xin nodded and said: "The top priority is to appease the people in the country and stabilize people's hearts. After I go back, I will allocate some supplies, and you can use these supplies to improve people's lives. In addition, I will also deploy an army to stay permanently.
Dawan."
Allowing the Han to garrison troops in Dawan was an important part of the Treaty of Shule. However, Liu Xin had to go to war against Yuan Shao and Cao Cao at the same time and could not spare the troops for the time being, so it was never implemented. But now it is different. He
His wife and children were all in Khotan City. If Dawan was lost, the connection between him and Kang Ju would be interrupted. Liu Xin did not dare to take this risk, so he had to put the garrison in Dawan on the agenda.
After the opening of the trade route, the life of the people of Dawan has improved. However, the military strength lost outside Pishan City is far from being restored. Even if there is no agreement in the "Treaty of Shule", Mo Zhiti would not dare to refuse Liu Xin.
The proposal to garrison troops. In addition, he has been killing people in recent days, and there is indeed news that some nobles are discussing to overthrow him. Now he urgently needs the support of the Han army.
Liu Xin only stayed in Guishan City for one night, and set off for Uzbeli Fortress early the next morning. Liu Xin had a habit of not wanting to turn back. His original plan was to take another route and inspect it by the way.
Let's go to Turugelt Fortress. But he didn't explain it clearly at the beginning. The battle reports from Chang'an must have been sent to Uzbel Fortress, so he could only return the same way.
Indeed, as Liu Xin expected, four battle reports from Chang'an had been backlogged in Uzbeli Fortress. These battle reports were all sealed with fire paint, and Lei Tong did not dare to open them. Lei Tong understood that these battle reports were extremely important, but they were inconvenient.
He sent someone to send him out of the country, so he could only put it in the fortress and wait for Liu Xin to come back.
In the past few days, after handling daily affairs, Lei Tong has been staying on the top of the fortress, holding a telescope and looking in the direction of Dawan. Finally, in the evening of this day, Lei Tong saw a large amount of smoke rising in the distance. Although
The traffic of caravans will also produce a lot of smoke and dust, but it is definitely not on such a scale. This must be a large group of cavalry.
Even though he was 90% sure that Liu Xin and the others were back, Lei Tong was extra cautious and sent a cavalry team to scout. Soon, the scouts reported back, and it was Liu Xin's men who turned around. Lei Tong then ordered a team
The men and horses broke into the territory of Dawan and went to greet them personally.
Seeing the Uzbeli Fortress right in front of him, Liu Xin raised his whip and asked the team to slow down, fearing that he might disturb the guards of the fortress and the caravans entering and exiting the mountain pass. Although it was getting late now, the Uzbeli Mountain Pass was accessible day and night.
Yes, as an important passage on the Silk Road, sometimes people come and go even at night.
Not long after the team walked, they met Lei Tong who came to greet him. Liu Xin reined in the horse with a "ha" and asked loudly: "Is there any battle report from Chang'an?"
Lei Tong was already prepared. He hurriedly rolled off his saddle and dismounted. He held up a stack of battle reports with both hands and said loudly: "Your Majesty, please take a look. All the battle reports from the past few days are here! One of them has just been delivered."
Liu Xin said "Oh" and couldn't wait to grab the battle report in Lei Tong's hand. The cover of the battle report was marked with the date. Liu Xin opened the battle report that had just been delivered without thinking, and hurriedly hurried on
After looking at it, he couldn't help but laugh loudly and said: "What a leader, this time I really lost the opportunity to steal the chicken and lose the rice!"
This battle report was sent from the grassland. The cavalry of the Fifth Army was divided into five hundred squads and sifted through the entire Mobei grassland like a net, and gained a lot.
First, the team led by Ma Chao conquered Jianman's camp and captured Helian's youngest son Jianman, Tuoba Ying, Tuoba Yan and others alive.
Then, a small team discovered Fu Luohan's camp. Because there were many guards in the camp, that team sent a signal for help. Dozens of surrounding teams swarmed in and captured the camp in one fell swoop. Fu Luohan's wives and concubines were taken away
All his children were taken captive.
Because the Han army advanced too fast, especially after successively defeating the two camps of Jianman and Fuluohan, the Han army had captured a large number of prisoners, seized countless cattle, sheep and tents, and divided the army into groups of a hundred people.
Unable to adapt to the changes in the situation, Zhao Yun regrouped the entire legion. Unexpectedly, during this gathering, a big fat piece of meat came to his door.
