A few months later, Hyun and Jiang Wu led a team to the Kingdom of Zhao.
As mentioned earlier, at this time, the Later Zhao State had already destroyed the Former Zhao State, and Shi Le had collapsed. Shi Hu killed Shi Hong and then usurped the throne.
Apart from his cruelty, Shi Le was actually a very inspirational emperor. He worked hard to reach the throne as a slave, implemented some bright policies, and took some positive measures to alleviate the conflict between Hu and Han and integrate Han culture.
But later Shi Hu usurped the throne. Shi Hu was very cruel before usurping the throne. When he became emperor, no one dared to control him, which further unleashed his cruel nature. Among the "Five Hus and Sixteen Kingdoms", Shi Hu was definitely the first tyrant to bear the brunt.
Shi Le's glory was overwhelmed by such "dazzling" brilliance.
Ning Fang was reluctant to do so, but he couldn't leave now. He was going to Zhao State and then to Dai State. As a prince who commanded the army, he couldn't leave for such a long time. He complained to her at home for several days. She couldn't stay at home with peace of mind. Why couldn't she be like other women? She disliked this and disliked that. There were all kinds of things. It took a lot of effort to smooth Ning Yu's hair.
When sending Hyun off to the palace, her face was still unhappy in the carriage. Hyun ignored him. After coaxing him for so many days, she had no patience anymore. Tolerance is mutual. She cannot always be tolerant, she is tolerant. .
When they were approaching the palace, Ning Yan suddenly came over and kissed her deeply. Hyun instantly felt warm, but also a little bit sour. Then Ning Yan bit her nose again and said with a bad smile:
"This is my mark."
The uncomfortable feeling disappeared instantly, and I glared at him angrily, quickly bit his neck, got up and got out of the car.
Unexpectedly, they bumped into Jiang Wu and Ru Yuan. Hyun had a tooth mark on her nose, and Ning Yu also had a tooth mark on her neck. Jiang Wu and Ru Yuan looked at the two of them meaningfully, and Hyun instantly blushed and covered her face. He lowered his nose and walked quickly past the two of them.
Ning Fang didn't think anything of it. He exposed his neck in a showy manner, walked up to Jiang Wu, and cupped his fist:
"Lord Lao Jiang will take care of everyone in this room."
When he saw the teeth marks of the two people, Jiang Wu was still a little joking in his heart. But after hearing Ning Yu's words, why did he feel so uncomfortable? Did he come to him to declare his sovereignty or to show off? He felt unhappy in his heart, but he still couldn't tell on the surface. What, Bao Quan Dao:
"Don't worry, King Yi, I will protect your concubine."
Ning Yu and Ru Yuan said hello and left first.
Ru Yuan looked at Jiang Wu's discolored face and smiled:
"A couple are flirting, are you so angry?"
Jiang Wu puffed his beard and said with eyes wide open:
"Why should I be angry because they are flirting with each other? But what does King Yi mean? He came to me to declare his ownership? He is a married man. If it weren't for his status, I would really want to kick him!"
Ru Yuan stroked his beard and smiled:
"Then what are your feelings towards Hyun?"
Jiang Wu stopped and froze on the spot, looking at Ru Yuan blankly:
"What emotions?" Rubbing his forehead, "I just like to be with Hyun. I am very happy when we are together. I just want to tease her and see how angry she is."
Ru Yuan narrowed his eyes and looked at him:
"Then - do you want to marry her? Even if you snatch her from King Yi."
Jiang Wu looked at Ru Yuan in surprise and shook his head:
"I don't have that idea. Although I like being with her, if I get married, the way of getting along with her will change, which will destroy the current feeling."
Ru Yuan nodded:
"That's the feeling of brother and sister, or friends."
Jiang Wu nodded repeatedly:
"Brother and sister."
Ru Yuan looked at Ning Yu and Hyun who were walking side by side in front of them. Although Hyun was a woman, she had a temperament that made people want to follow her. He was willing to help her and protect her, but he never wanted to marry her. It was really strange. Feel.
He turned around and looked at Jiang Wu. He didn't know if Jiang Wu had the same idea as him, but Jiang Wu gave him a different feeling. Therefore, no matter what Jiang Wu thought, he had to take advantage of him while he was still hazy. He should direct his thoughts to other places, otherwise, he and Xun will suffer in the future, and Jiang Wuhui may even lose his life. If that happens, Yi Xun's temperament will probably make him feel guilty for the rest of his life.
I went to see Ning Sheng, who told me to pay attention to safety. They had already discussed the details, and now it was just a formality.
Hyun glanced at the little boy who was standing aside obediently. Although not all eunuchs in history were bastards, there were too many stories of eunuchs interfering in politics that left a big shadow in Hyun's heart. In addition, Eunuch Hao returned home inexplicably. I don't have the slightest fondness for Xiao Zhenzi.
Everyone said goodbye outside the gate of the capital. Ning Yan looked at the carriage that Hyun was riding in for a long time, and then returned to the city until he could no longer see it.
There is an undercurrent surging in the capital, but on the surface it is fine for the time being, so I won’t go into details and just follow in Hyun’s footsteps.
The capital of Later Zhao was in Yecheng, which was roughly from the north of Anyang in Henan to the south of Linzhang in Hebei. Therefore, Xuun and his party had to pass through Gansu, Shaanxi, and half of Henan to get to Yecheng, and they had to walk for several months.
The northwest is sparsely populated due to climate and other reasons. In ancient times, there were even fewer people. Villages are far away from each other. Natural villages follow water sources. Where there are abundant water sources, villages can be formed. However, because of traffic, It's inconvenient. There are a lot of wars now, and there are a thousand soldiers in their group. Therefore, basically every village is very repulsive to them. After passing two villages, they don't plan to enter the village. Set up camp and rest by the water outside the village.
After climbing over mountains and ridges all the way, we finally entered the 800-mile Qinchuan River.
It is adjacent to the Qinling Mountains in the south and bounded by Beishan in the north. It starts from Baoji Gorge in the west and ends at Tongguan in the east. The Wei River passes through it and is the alluvial plain of the Wei River. When talking about alluvial plains, fertile ones always come to mind, such as the Hetao Plain, the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River plains, and the North China Plain. Wait, the same is true for the Guanzhong Plain. Hyun's father once said that any seed can grow here. Although it is a bit exaggerated, it also shows that the climate and soil here are very suitable for farming. Therefore, life is better than in surrounding areas. Wanting to be generous leads to the "girls don't marry outsiders" in "Eight Eccentrics of Qinchuan".
From the topographic point of view, it is surrounded by mountains on all sides, forming a natural barrier. The four major passes of Dongtong Pass, Xida San Pass, Nanwuguan and Beixiao Pass guard the four sides of Guanzhong. They are called "Warring States Policy" in "Warring States Policy". "Four Fortresses" was also called the "Four Fortresses" in "Historical Records", but it was still destroyed by Han Xin who secretly built a plank road in Chencang.
Liu Bang was able to seize Guanzhong, and he really had to thank Zhang Liang and Han Xin. However, one of them understood the principle of retiring after success and died a good death; the other was labeled a rebel and was attacked by the Yi tribe. Speaking of which, Liu Bang named Han Xin the King of Chu. At that time, maybe I already had the intention to kill him.
Ahem, it’s far away. Brothers who strolled along Baoxie Plank Road are back to the Guanzhong Plain!
After entering the Guanzhong Plain, the altitude here is low and the oxygen is sufficient. Hyun was in a good mood and roared for a while on the horse.
Qin Opera is not unique to Shaanxi. It is an ancient opera that originated in the Shaanxi and Gansu regions. Because Shaanxi and Gansu belonged to the Qin Dynasty in ancient times, it was called Qin Opera. It is the originator of Peking Opera, Henan Opera, Jin Opera, and Hebei Bangzi.
Although Qin Opera is not a unique opera in Shaanxi, Xuan feels that singing Qin Opera in the territory of Shaanxi is the only way to feel good, and you have to sing black opera. The tendons in your neck burst out, your face turns red, and you can even sweat after singing for a while. This feeling
Of course, this is the result of Hyun not being able to sing and relying on brute strength to roar.
Zacahan shouted to everyone:
"Who can sing? Give us a verse."
A soldier shouted:
"General Zhuo sang well, let's just roar a little bit more."
Hyun waved her hands repeatedly:
"Hey, please forgive me. I'm still calling you okay. I'm crying like a ghost and howling like a wolf at the top of my lungs. It can scare the wolves away. You flatter me and slap the horse's hooves."
Everyone laughed, and after they laughed, one of the singers sang at the top of his voice, which made the journey feel much more relaxed.
At this time, the "infantry vehicle" that Yuan thought of had been built. This time he came to Zhao State and used several vehicles, all with four horses. The infantry were all sitting in them, camouflaged with cloth. Unless the cloth was removed, otherwise
No matter from the outside or inside, they are no different from ordinary carriages. Therefore, in their team, besides horses, they are carriages, and there are only a few cavalry. If there are people who don’t want to ride horses or ride in cars, they can walk. Horses walk anyway.
Time, people can easily keep up.
Hyun leads his troops to be tense when they should be nervous, but when they should be relaxed, there is no need to stretch the string. People are not machines. The string will break if stretched for a long time and become tired. Therefore, the team looks a bit messy and untidy.
Not neat.
Jiang Wu mentioned this matter to her shortly after setting off, but Huan said that they were on a friendly visit, not a war. Why should the people of Zhao country see their military appearance and discipline? Again, this was the first time to visit Zhao country.
, Hyun has no idea about Shi Hu. Although he has an army of a thousand people, he doesn’t want to be exposed. He just acts casually. A small country must look like a small country. Although Jiang Wu can’t accept it, he can understand it.
After several attempts, Hyun kept saying the same thing and finally passively accepted it.
When a group of people arrived in Chang'an, Xi'an in ancient times, when they brushed against history, it always made Xun's blood boil. From the moment he saw the city wall, Xun became a little excited.
However, the city wall at this time is not what we see in modern times. The modern city wall is the Ming city wall. Even the Tang city walls only have place names left, not to mention the ones from the Five Hus and Sixteen Kingdoms period, which have long since turned into dust and drifted away.
When we arrived at the gate, the flow of people increased. Even after the rush hour of entering and exiting the city in the morning, there was still an endless stream of people coming and going. Everyone was queuing up to wait to enter the city. Therefore, when so many of them approached in a majestic and dusty way, they immediately attracted attention.
got everyone's attention.
In order to prevent the soldiers from misunderstanding, everyone stopped far away. Hyun Ce immediately stepped forward and handed the customs clearance document to the soldiers guarding the door:
"We are the envoy from Kunyu Kingdom to visit your Majesty."
The soldier looked at her, turned around and ran to a general, handing the document to the man. The man looked at her, walked up to Xun, cupped his hands and clasped his fists:
"This is the envoy from Kunyu Kingdom. I have already heard that your country is coming and I have been waiting for you for a long time. However, we have to carry out the necessary inspections. I hope the general will forgive me."
Hyun generously let them check, and the bullets and crossbows were all broken into parts and scattered for installation. He was not afraid of them checking at all. The infantry got out of the carriage and stood upright as a habit. Hyun quickly hinted at them with his eyes, so the group of people lazily
, standing aside in twos and threes, some were amazed at Chang'an City, some were curious and stretched their necks to look inside, in short pretending to have never seen the world. On the contrary, the civil servants were standing like soldiers, orderly.
With.
Hyun secretly bumped into Jiang Wu and signaled him not to be too serious.
After Jiang Wu received the hint from Yun, he originally wanted to act like the soldiers and pretended to have never seen the world, but then he thought about it and treated Yun unfairly. (To be continued)
