Chapter 141 As long as you have a horse, you are my best brother Liu Chang
Liu Chang held the bow in his left hand, and pulled the string with his right hand. His left hand was straight, and he kept exerting force with his right hand. The bow made a muffled sound. Liu Chang gritted his teeth and stared angrily. His right hand moved further and further back, and his face turned red.
, his hands were trembling, the muscles of his arms were bulging, and the bowstring was being pulled like a full moon, shaking constantly. The sages around him stared wide-eyed and stood on both sides, covering their mouths, not daring to speak.
"boom!!"
Liu Chang suddenly let go of his right hand, and the arrow flew out like lightning. In the blink of an eye, it passed directly through the straw man not far away, flew for some distance, and finally stuck in the soil.
Zhou Shengzhi shouted, excitedly rushed to the straw man, pointed at the hole in the straw man's chest, and shouted: "The king is mighty!!"
"The king is mighty!!"
Everyone shouted, and Liu Chang proudly put away his bow.
"What does this mean? I am learning archery and horsemanship with Marquis Guan. A few days ago, I was riding and shooting in his mansion, and one arrow almost penetrated Marquis Guan's armor!"
Guan A nodded and said, "Yes, that's true. My father was so frightened that he never dared to stand next to the wooden target again."
Liu Chang waved his little hand and said: "This autumn hunting, I will participate as a prince king, so you must be prepared!"
"Xiao Yan, you are responsible for driving for me! Zhou Yafu is from Fan City. You two are short, so you drive left and right!"
"Guan A, Zhou Jian, and Lu Zhong, you three are responsible for loading the prey into the car!"
"Xiahou Zao, Chen Mai, Lu Lu, and Lu Tazhi, you all know how to ride a horse. When the time comes, you will ride on your horse to drive away the prey for me!"
Hunting is the most important activity of the Han Dynasty. It has been like this since the pre-Qin Dynasty. Originally, when Liu Bang was still there, Liu Chang was not allowed to go with him. But now he is no longer a prince, but a prince of the Han Dynasty. According to the etiquette system, naturally he is
Qualified to follow the emperor on hunting expeditions.
Liu Chang has always been looking forward to this day, so he has made a lot of preparations.
He was just instructing everyone when a servant suddenly came. Lu Lu hurriedly stepped forward and chatted with the man for a few words before he hurriedly walked to Liu Chang's side and said, "Your Majesty, Father asked you to come over..."
They are now playing in the backyard of Jiancheng Hou, because Jiancheng Hou's mansion is the largest in the whole of Chang'an. Liu Chang holds the bow and is not afraid. He laughs and lets Lu Lu lead the way. Since his father's death, his uncle
It has been almost a year since I last saw myself.
Liu Chang knew that he was resentful of himself because of what happened to Lu Tai. Not only himself, he was also very dissatisfied with his mother, and now he rarely came to Jiaofang Hall.
Lu Shizhi looked much more haggard than before, no longer wearing armor, his body was slightly stooped, and the flesh on his face had become less, making him look sickly. He saw Liu Chang who followed Lu Lu.
At that time, I was stunned for a moment and almost didn't recognize this Yuzi.
However, they hadn't seen each other for a while, and this Zhuzi was already a head taller than Lu Lu. He was bulging all over and had a strong back and waist. He was holding a Chinese bow and swaggering forward. He looked around proudly, as if he was a fierce tiger.
Patrolling his own territory, showing off his domineering attitude.
"uncle!!"
Liu Chang shouted with a smile, rushed to Lu Shizhi's side in a few steps, and raised his head to look at him.
Lu Shizhi was stunned for a moment, "You are such a tall boy... You are almost as tall as your mother..."
"Hahaha, uncle, I am not an eight or nine-year-old child anymore, so I will naturally grow taller!"
Lu Shizhi looked a little melancholy and sighed: "It's so fast... I still remember... you are as high as the ground..." Lu Shizhi stretched out his hand and gestured, "You can't see it unless you look carefully. By the time you...you've grown so big..."
"Uncle, long time no see. Are you okay? I wanted to come to see you several times, but your servants wouldn't let me in... They even alienated our feelings, saying that you didn't want to see me... Later I treated you with courtesy. After waiting and arguing with reason, they finally stopped trying..."
"No, I only have six slaves in total. You injured five of them. The remaining one is an old man in his sixties. How dare he stop you?"
"Hey hey hey..."
Liu Chang grinned stupidly, but Lu Shizhi knocked his head and asked angrily: "If you want to eat meat, won't I give it to you? Why do you always come to steal it?"
"No, uncle!" Liu Chang said solemnly: "My master Zhang Xiang once told me that a man will not eat what he eats. As Xunzi, I must support myself..."
Lu Shizhi couldn't help but laugh. After a moment, he asked: "Is your mother... okay?"
"It's not very good...I've been talking about you all day long...Although I didn't say it, I asked my uncle about you many times...My uncle really shouldn't have alienated my mother...Lu Tai again Even though he was not dead, my brother was kind-hearted, so in the end he was demoted to the rank of Chengdan and let Lu Chan inherit the title... What's more, Lu Tai did it on his own accord!"
"Uncle, I know that you are close to my uncle, but if Lu Tai does this, if he is not punished now, sooner or later he will be blackened on his face. If my uncle is still here and sees Lu Tai like that, I think he will definitely I will kill Lu Tai with my own hands! My mother is also thinking about my uncle’s face..."
Lu Shizhi was silent for a long time and nodded, "Tell your mother, I'll go see her tonight..."
"Okay! Uncle, then I'm going to play. By the way, uncle, can you bring a sheep over?"
"Don't you want to eat the food that comes to you?"
"Oh, my master also taught me: if you are given a gift by an elder, you cannot refuse it."
"roll!"
Seeing Liu Chang running away, Lu Shizhi laughed, waved his hand, called a servant, and ordered: "Go and kill a sheep! No, kill two! Forget it, I am Youzi. If you want to eat sheep, kill them all!"
After leaving the Jiancheng Marquis Mansion, Liu Chang said goodbye to all the wise men, called the three major ministers, and prepared to leave the city.
When he came to the gate of the city, he saw the place was in chaos. Liu Chang hurriedly ordered the people to stop the car. When he looked over, he happened to see a few barbarians dressed completely different from the Han people, shouting something loudly with the city guards. , their appearance is no different from that of ordinary Han people, they are not blond and blue-eyed, they just dress differently and speak different languages.
This was the first time that Liu Chang saw the Hu people. He was very curious and hurriedly jumped out of the carriage, walked to the soldiers, and asked carelessly: "What happened?"
The soldier was about to reprimand him when he turned around and saw that it was the King of Tang. He hurriedly paid homage to Liu Chang with a smile on his face, and then said: "These barbarians are holding the road guide to Shangjun and want to enter Chang'an... We We are reporting to the chief, they may think we are making things difficult for them, so they are quarreling..."
Liu Chang nodded, pushed aside the soldiers in front of him, and walked to the innermost place, with three great warriors standing behind him.
Liu Chang looked over and saw those people pulling many horses. Most of these horses were tall and strong. Liu Chang looked directly at the horses and shouted: "Luan Bu! Grab these horses for me."
..Buy it!”
When Luan Bu and Zhang Buyi came forward, the barbarians became even more excited, shouting at them loudly and protecting their horses with both hands.
"Are you Huns?"
Liu Chang asked.
The leader knew some Chinese. He looked at the noble young master in front of him and said, "Yue Zhi!"
Liu Chang didn't hear something clearly. He looked at Luan Bu on the side and asked disdainfully: "What did this barbarian say?"
Luan Bu said in a low voice: "He is from the Yuezhi. Unlike the Xiongnu, the Yuezhi are dressed in clothing, food, and speak the same language as the Qiang... The Xiongnu did not allow a horse to enter the territory of the Han Dynasty. The Yuezhi people and the Xiongnu have always been at odds with each other.
Horses were sold in Shangjun, Longxi and other places, so Mao Dun once attacked them and gave them a huge defeat..."
Liu Chang suddenly realized, looked at the man proudly, and asked: "Wuna Yuezhi barbarian! Are you here to sell horses? How many horses do you have?"
The man's accent was very strange, and you had to listen carefully to hear it clearly: "I'm here to sell horses. I escaped several robberies by the Huns along the way before I came here. I originally had three hundred horses, but now there are only four."
More than ten horses..."
"Oh! Good brother! I bought your horse! I paid a lot of money! Come, come, you are a guest from far away, I will treat you to dinner!"
Liu Chang suddenly grabbed the man's arm and pulled him towards the city. The barbarian looked at Liu Chang in shock and hurriedly refused: "I won't go..."
"Luan Bu! Get the money!"
"I don't want money...food, iron, weapons...in exchange for horses."
Liu Chang raised his head and said with a smile: "Then you have found the right person!"
"I, Liu Chang, my father is the Emperor Taizu of the Han Dynasty, and my brother is the Emperor of the Han Dynasty today! I am the King of the Tang Dynasty of the Han Dynasty. The Shangjun you pass through is my territory! Food, iron, weapons,
I have everything I need, and I can give you as much supplies as you can bring with you as many horses as you want! I can even send soldiers to protect your goods so they can arrive safely!"
"I think you are a good person. If you trade in Chang'an, someone will definitely bully you and be embarrassed by these soldiers. But when you trade with me in Datang, there will never be such a situation! I will do what I say!"
"How about it, good brother, do you want to trade with Datang?"
