The next day, Li Shiji and Wang Junlang led their troops eastward, and Luo Shixin also aggressively mobilized heavy troops to besiege Luocang back.
Xia Yu, on the other hand, was at leisure.
The plan was finalized, so he became the hands-off shopkeeper again. Li Shimin was afraid that he would work too hard, so he repeatedly told him to take a good rest for a few days.
On this day, Xia Yu was bored, so she took Yin Yuan, Zhang Yu and others to visit Mang Mountain.
Yinping is a landowner and knows the road well, so he acts as a tour guide.
Even though Mang Mountain is small, it has beautiful scenery, with dragons, pans, and tigers dominating it. In terms of Feng Shui, it can even be said to be the most treasured place in the world!
Therefore, there is also a saying of "born in Suzhou and Hangzhou, died in Beimang".
Therefore, throughout the ages, countless emperors, generals, celebrities, and scholars have chosen this small Mang Mountain as their final destination.
Anyway, along the way Xia Yu walked, there was a large tomb every tens or hundreds of meters, and the owners of the tombs were all extraordinary.
This made Xia Yu almost turn the tour into his own history review class.
However, it's quite interesting.
Perhaps, a hundred years later, he will be one of them, and even the most legendary one, and will be remembered by future generations.
As it approached noon, Xia Yu came to a small hill.
Surrounded by green trees like shade, birds chirping and flowers fragrant, it was very quiet. Yin Yuan suddenly raised his head and said: "Brother-in-law, look there is another tomb in front of you. I don't know whose it belongs to."
"Go and have a look." Xia Yu stepped forward.
On the top of the hill, a slightly dilapidated tomb stands quietly. The tombstone has mottled writing due to its age.
Xia Yu carefully identified: "The tomb of Ban Gongchao, Dingyuan Hou of the Han Dynasty."
Dingyuanhou Banchao!
Xia Yu was immediately shocked. This was his idol!
Ban Chao's heroism in writing and joining the army inspired many people! His great achievements in opening up the Western Regions are shining in the annals of history!
Unexpectedly, such a great man was buried in Mangshan Mountain.
"Zhang Yu, hurry up and get the incense. Bangong is the sage I admire the most. I must pay my respects to him today!" Xia Yu was very excited.
"promise."
Zhang Yu quickly agreed, unpacked the baggage on his back and took out the incense candle.
Carrying this thing with you is also a reminder on the silver screen. It is said that it is a must for literati to visit Mang Mountain and pay homage to the sages.
However, Xia Yu has a high vision.
Along the way, no matter what awesome emperor or general you were, such as Yi Yin, Lu Buwei, etc., he would just glance at you.
The incense candle I brought with me has only been used now.
Just as Xia Yu was about to light incense and candles in person to offer sacrifices, Yinping said, "Sir, it's better for a slave to do such rough work."
"Thank you, girl." Xia Yu smiled and scratched his head. Indeed, he didn't quite understand this stuff.
However, Yinping was very familiar with the road, lit incense and candles according to the rules, and enshrined them in front of Ban Chao's tomb.
Xia Yu straightened her clothes, lifted up her skirts, and bowed prostrate.
When everyone saw this, they naturally did not dare to stand. Fortunately, Ban Chao was a famous official throughout the ages and had outstanding achievements, so no one was unconvinced.
"Bang Gong, please be polite, little Xia Yu."
"I happened to pass by this place today and was very happy to see the tomb of Ban Gong. On the day when I thought of my father-in-law, I decided to join the army. What a heroic act it was! Traveling across the Western Regions and promoting the power of Han Dynasty was such an achievement!"
"It's a pity that after the Han Dynasty, China withdrew from the Western Regions and has not set foot in them for hundreds of years."
"Young man is not talented, but I am willing to imitate the heroic deeds of Ban Gong. I am willing to carry on the great ambitions of Ban Gong and help us in the Tang Dynasty to expand the Western Regions and create a foundation for China to be built for all generations."
"I swear an oath in front of you now, and I hope you will learn from it!"
After saying that, Xia Yu looked excited and bowed devoutly three times before getting up.
"By the way, sir," Yinping suddenly remembered something: "Aren't you a disciple of Guigu? Su Qin, Zhang Yi's tomb is right in front, do you want to go and have a look too?"
Xia Yu was overjoyed when she heard this.
These two great men are also idols that I admire, and they are now regarded as my fellow sages, so I must worship them.
He hurriedly said: "Of course I want to go. Please help me, girl, to lead the way."
As everyone was about to go out, there was a rapid sound of footsteps on the mountain road, and someone shouted: "Strategist, strategist, wait for me. I'll let Gu Hao find me."
Xia Yu turned around and saw a handsome and majestic young man running towards the mountain road. It was indeed Li Daoxuan.
He was amused: "I'm talking about the county prince, why did you come here? Is there something urgent that can't wait until I get back?"
Li Daoxuan rushed to the front in two steps and smiled: "There is something wrong."
Xia Yu thought about it, and it was probably not a good thing for this guy to come to his door. Otherwise, with his martial arts and identity, no one in the army would dare to deny him face.
Thinking of this, he quickly refused: "Your Majesty, if you have anything to do, please go to His Highness the King of Qin. He is the coach, so whatever he says is final."
Li Daoxuan looked unhappy: "I'm looking for him, but my second brother is not happy. Military advisor——"
Xia Yu didn't want to know what the trouble was at all, so she immediately interrupted: "Then there's nothing I can do to help you. Your Majesty, I have something to do, so I'll take my leave."
"Hey, hey, don't leave, military advisor." Li Daoxuan became anxious and grabbed Xia Yu's clothes and refused to let go.
This guy is an unparalleled warrior with great strength, Xia Yu can't escape.
Xia Yu looked devastated. It was stuck with dog-skin plaster and she couldn't ignore it. This guy didn't dare to pester Li Er, so he just picked on the weak persimmons.
"I'm talking about the county prince, I'm not a god who responds to every request. Can you just throw it to me so that you don't have any trouble?"
Xia Yu was really hurting the baby, but no one felt any pain for the baby.
"Military advisor, look at what you said, what kind of friendship do we have?" Li Daoxuan said shamelessly and plausibly: "I have come to ask for help, are you embarrassed not to help?"
I'm very happy!
Xia Yu rolled her eyes, but if she refused, she might not be able to leave today, so she could only say with a grimace: "I'm really afraid of you. Tell me, what's going on?"
Seeing that Xia Yu finally relented, Li Daoxuan secretly rejoiced and said quickly: "Military advisor, if you want to attack Dou Jiande in a tiger prison, can you also take me with you?"
All fools know that under Hulao Pass, if you can defeat Dou Jiande and an army of 100,000 in one battle, what a feat it will be!
Perhaps, this is the final battle of this Eastern Expedition.
Therefore, how could Li Daoxuan, who had always been addicted to fighting, miss this wonderful drama? No matter whether he was molesting, stealing or abducting, he had to participate anyway.
This kind of battle that determines the north and is famous in history must have his presence, Li Daoxuan.
Xia Yu sighed in his heart, and he guessed that this was probably the case. He prevaricated: "Well, it's enough to have Xuanjia soldiers. The prince of the county will take action, and the great talent will be used for a small purpose."
"It's not trivial to use, it's not trivial to use!" Li Daoxuan said repeatedly: "Military advisor, think about it, the Xia army has 100,000 people, and the Xuanjia soldiers only have more than 3,000 people. They are still a bit weak."
"And the winged cavalry is trained according to your tactics. You know its strength, which is a big help."
"Besides, this battle is all about using thunderous momentum to hit the target with one strike. It's just the right thing for a powerful general like me to use."
"Military advisor, please ask your second brother for mercy and bring me along with you."
Xia Yu's head hurts, so don't agree. This product is a dog-skin plaster, so agree. Well, why do you do something that won't do any good?
He is not Li Doxuan's biological father.
"Well, it's not impossible. But -"
Xia Yu spoke in a long tone, and Li Daoxuan was already familiar with him. When he saw this, he knew that he was going to be ripped off again.
Although his heart ached, Li Daoxuan still said with a bitter face: "There are still two shops in Guxi City, how about giving them to the military advisor?"
Teachable! Xia Yu was very satisfied and had a smile on her face: "Deal!"
Of course, this is not because he is greedy for money, but he is setting a threshold and does not want Li Daoxuan to trouble him all the time.
Right, that is it.
Li Dao
If his father hadn't died early, I'm afraid he would have been beaten with a crutch.
Fortunately, the rewards are generous. After the war, he will be rewarded based on his merits, and he will definitely be able to get his money back. Otherwise, he will really suffer a big loss.
"Military advisor, when you mobilize troops, you must remember to tell your second brother. I will send a letter to Chang'an immediately for the deed of the shop and have it delivered to my family."
Li Daoxuan warned again with a worried look on his face.
"Don't worry." Xia Yu agreed with a smile. He is a very reputable person and will never default on anything he promises.
"By the way, I'm going to go around a little bit more. Do you want me to come with you, sir?"
"Forget it." Li Daoxuan had just been ripped off. He was so distressed that he couldn't be in the mood to hang out. He declined: "I have to go back and think about what kind of knife skills are suitable for you."
"When the military advisor is free in two days, we will start practicing. We must be diligent in practicing."
Hearing that he was going to suffer again, Xia Yu's mood suddenly became less beautiful.
