Liu Yi came to see Zhao Hanzhang, mainly to say goodbye. He had to go home, otherwise his family would have to worry. Zhao Hanzhang did not attack Pingyang City at night last night. He also made peace with Zhao Hanzhang. He put aside the big things on his mind and had to go back and tell his father.
But before he could say goodbye, Zhao Hanzhang threw the spear in his hand to the bodyguard and invited him: "Would the King of Beihai be interested in visiting my military camp?"
Liu Yi only said goodbye. He widened his eyes and asked, "Can I visit?"
"Of course." Zhao Hanzhang said with a smile: "Let's go have breakfast first, and I will take you to see it after breakfast."
In order to entertain Liu Yi, they ate noodles in the morning with an egg inside.
Zhao Hanzhang ate to his heart's content. The noodles were made from wheat flour and soybean flour in a certain proportion, but mostly wheat flour, so they looked quite white. Zhao Hanzhang also asked Liu Yi: "How did King Beihai eat?"
Liu Yi nodded with satisfaction, "It's delicious!"
"Beihai Wang is satisfied with his meal. This noodle has soybean flour added. I thought a noble person like you wouldn't be able to handle it."
Liu Yi said: "What Governor Zhao said makes me ashamed. In terms of family background, my Liu family is far inferior to your Zhao family. Before I became a prince, I was just a country boy."
Before Liu Yuan became emperor, he traveled around. He was once a hostage placed by the Xiongnu in Luoyang. After the death of his first wife, he formed an alliance with the Di people and married the Shan family, giving birth to Liu Yi.
But in those years, he was running around in order to return to the five tribes of the Xiongnu, and he had no time to take care of the child, so Liu Yi left it in his maternal grandfather's house.
Unlike the Xiongnu who were nomadic, the Di people, like the Han people, mainly engaged in farming.
So Liu Yi is right when he says that he is a country boy. Such pasta was a rare food when he was a child.
Even for a landlord's family, life is not as good as outsiders think, but compared with ordinary people, they can make ends meet.
For example, noodles made from wheat flour and beaten into an egg were considered a good diet in Liu Yi's memory.
But when I became the prince, I realized that this was just a trivial matter.
The imperial palace of the Han Dynasty was extravagant, and Liu Yuan was already a relatively tolerant monarch, but once he gained power, he still couldn't help but enjoy extravagance.
Liu Yi, who was favored by Liu Yuan, naturally had no worries about food and clothing, and made the best use of everything.
So, Zhao Hanzhang listened to Liu Yi saying that his three meals a day in the palace included white porridge, white noodles, roasted lamb, Sambao chicken and cheese for breakfast...
Hearing so many delicious foods, Zhao Hanzhang couldn't help but ask, "Do you eat such greasy food in the morning?"
"Is it greasy?" Liu Yi said: "It's not greasy. The lamb is tender and has no fat. The oil of the three treasure chicken has been skimmed off, so it's not greasy at all. I only drink soup and don't eat chicken."
Zhao Hanzhang couldn't swallow his food, so he stopped his chopsticks and asked: "Since King Beihai has lived in the countryside, he should know that this is an extremely extravagant meal. He does it every day. He has to cook it in different ways. I don't know how much money it will cost?"
Liu Yidao: "The royal family protects the world, and the world supports the royal family. This is a matter of course. We, the royal family, should be supported by the people of the world."
Zhao Hanzhang picked up the bowl again and ate. After finishing the noodles, he drank up the soup without leaving any trace. Then he said: "But, have you Liu family protected the world? Now that the world is in chaos and the people are displaced, you Liu family have taken over.
How much responsibility?"
Liu Yi said somewhat unhappily: "The world was in chaos before my father became emperor. This is the fault of the Sima family. My father acted in accordance with the destiny and inherited the country of the Han Dynasty. He wanted to bring order to the chaos."
Zhao Hanzhang: "...Young man, you don't really think that your Liu family is descended from the Han Dynasty, do you? You are a Huns!"
Liu Yi's face turned red and he said with some embarrassment: "My father said yes!"
"Okay," Zhao Hanzhang reached out and patted him on the shoulder and said: "Although our positions are different, for the sake of friendship, I still want to remind you to treat the people under your rule better. Don't forget
Yes, the country is composed of people, and since you are supported by them, you must fulfill your responsibility to protect them."
Liu Yi said proudly: "In this regard, my father is more qualified than your emperor of Jin."
Zhao Hanzhang was noncommittal. It was because Emperor Jin could not make the decision, but he actually had compassion for the people. Liu Yuan, on the other hand, had exploited the people of Bingzhou for military expenses and enjoyment in the past two years.
Not only the Han people, but also the Jiehu and other Hu people, and even the Xiongnu civilians often had to pull their own horses to join the army because they could not pay the required share.
But Zhao Hanzhang would not say these words clearly. In fact, it is good for them to be so chaotic. When the time comes, she will add fuel to the flames to cause chaos within the Han Kingdom.
Mentioning this sentence was already her greatest kindness to the young prince Liu Yi. She could also give another even greater kindness, but this was not the time. She decided to give it to him when he left.
After breakfast, Zhao Hanzhang took him to watch her soldiers drill.
Although the young prince Liu Yi has participated in politics, he has only been a spectator and has not accomplished anything yet, let alone gain military power.
But he also often went to the army and saw what the Huns' army was like.
Among them, the most powerful army of the Han Dynasty, apart from Wang Mi and Shi Le, was the army led by Liu Cong.
But he remembered that when he went there, everyone was sitting around loosely. Occasionally, some people formed a circle to wrestle and play. Young prince Liu Yi rarely saw such neat and orderly drills.
As the soldiers grunted and hahaed, the guns in their hands changed, stabbing, piercing, flipping, and poking... The ferocious aura came out, and Liu Yi's blood boiled, and his spine felt slightly chilly...
Zhao Hanzhang took him around the military camp and talked about military training. After lunch, they also went to see the Zhao family's cavalry.
Zhao Hanzhang said: "Compared to the cavalry, we can't compare with you. Please give me more advice and advice from the King of Beihai."
After this advice, it was almost dark, and Liu Yi couldn't leave, so he stayed one more night.
Liu Yi's captain of the bodyguard was not in a hurry, because except for the baggage and food areas, they could go anywhere else they wanted. They were very free and did not feel trapped.
Since they are free and can come and go as they please, there is nothing to worry about.
The next day, Liu Yi wanted to leave again, but Zhao Hanzhang invited him to go to the county next door. She said: "Yonghe County was snatched from your hands. There are many Huns and Jiehu in the city. Since the King of Beihai and
I have made peace, so why not go ahead and comfort them for me, lest they act impulsively and end up wasting their lives."
Liu Yi firstly didn't want to break the covenant he had just made with Zhao Hanzhang, and secondly, he really didn't want his former people to die in vain, so he went with Zhao Hanzhang.
So Zhao Hanzhang ordered a group of soldiers and marched to Yonghe County in a mighty manner.
Ji Yuan just watched Zhao Hanzhang coaxing the silly prince away. He stood in front of the camp with his hands folded and watched for a long time. When he saw Fu Tinghan passing by not far away, he hurriedly stopped him and asked, "What is Tinghan going to do?"
Fu Tinghan led a group of people and heard the words: "I have found water. Now I am taking people to dig a well. Why doesn't Mr. Ji go to Yonghe County with us?"
"I won't go. I'll wait here for the Han envoy, the King of Beihai. One girl is enough."
Not only is it enough, it is simply more than enough.
