The morning dew hung all over the branches, and the geese in the sky going south would be lined up in a zigzag and a zigzag at a time. The rising sun gives this cold autumn a touch of warmth.

It has been almost a year since Peng Yichen entered this world in the blink of an eye, and it has been more than three months since he entered the Han Palace, and the novelty of entering the palace has gradually disappeared, and the harsh rules and constraints in the palace have made him clearly aware of what kind of environment he is in.

As soon as his sister Wei Zifu entered the palace, she was punished as a miscellaneous servant in the palace's grain depot, which he already knew. But this sister's life is good, but she was found to be pregnant in just three months, and she planted a dragon seed with Liu Che's love affair that night. Empress Dowager Dou spoke and let Wei Zifu live in the side room, no matter how fierce Chen Ajiao was, Wei Zifu's safety was guaranteed.

And Peng Yichen entered the palace and kept horses in captivity in the palace for half a month, although for a riding slave, this is nothing, after all, he has been doing this kind of work in the princess's mansion for many years. But for Wei Qing, who took this opportunity as a slave, this kind of life was not what he wanted.

Opportunities come and go quickly. Liu Che wanted to compensate for Wei Zifu because he was bullied, but he didn't dare to anger Chen Ajiao and Princess Guantao behind her, so he could only promote Wei Qing to enter the Jianzhang camp, which was the guard army of the palace, the emperor's pro-army, and the predecessor of the Yulin Army that won great military achievements in the future.

Peng Yichen knew in advance that when the Wei Qing Society assembled in the Jianzhang Battalion, the horses under the seat were frightened and were demoted to grooms by the general who commanded the Jianzhang Battalion.

Therefore, when the captain of the Jianzhang battalion patrolled the barracks, he was very careful, and there was no incident of his mount being frightened.

But this kind of respect and prudence only allowed him to stay in the Jianzhang camp for a few more days, and in the end, the general above casually found a reason to drive him to raise horses.

At this time, Peng Yichen realized that in this era, it is not your outstanding performance that can be affirmed by others. The background of riding a slave and relying on his sister to be favored by the emperor to obtain the rank of advancement, these are the roots of his contempt and exclusion by others.

He also gradually understood why Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty would rather risk being deposed and confront the Empress Dowager Dou, constantly attacking the Huang Lao doctrine behind the Empress Dowager Dou and the interest groups composed of meritorious nobles.

It is because Liu Che saw that the Han Dynasty was founded for several decades, and many people have already become dogs guarding the door, content with the status quo, not thinking of making progress, ignoring the wolf ambitions of the Huns, only thinking about their own glory and wealth, and the upper class is solidified.

What Wei Qing endured is a microcosm of the entire Han Dynasty society. Either he will be an obedient person and live on the flies and dogs for the rest of his life, or he will be a person who changes the times, follows Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to create immortal feats, and becomes the world's respected military god and great Sima.

Therefore, Peng Yichen was not discouraged, he had a feeling that this experience in the plot world would definitely bring a lot of improvement to his acting skills.

In order to truly integrate himself into this era, Peng Yichen did not simply take care of the horses according to Wei Qing's memory. He actively consulted with the other four grooms around him about the training and maintenance methods of military horses in this era, and carefully observed and recorded the habits, temperament, and tastes of these military horses. In the process, he won the hearts of the people and gave all his money to the four grooms, so that they could identify with their leaders.

However, in a month, Peng Yichen used his own vision and means as a modern person to statistically summarize the laws of military horse training and maintenance in the Han Dynasty, and then formulated a set of standardized processes to teach all horsemen to learn to operate in accordance with the process.

Although it was only a short period of three months, all the military horses in the Jianzhang battalion seemed to have changed their appearance, each fat and strong, running as fast as thunder, and standing in line as quiet as a virgin.

The overseers of the Jianzhang camp tried to trouble Wei Qing several times, but there was no reason to start, and gradually began to identify and appreciate this riding slave who entered the Jianzhang camp by nepotism.

If it weren't for the scruples that he ordered Wei Qing to be demoted to a groom, he couldn't have slapped himself in the face, otherwise he would have been transferred back to the Jianzhang camp a long time ago.

Peng Yichen didn't want to go back to Jianzhang Camp at this time, after all, he was still waiting for an opportunity to really enter Liu Che's eyes.

Recalling the experience of the past few months, Peng Yichen has unconsciously entered the horse circle of Jianzhang Camp, and through these months of getting along, he has established a deep friendship with these horsemen.

They are all simple and kind people in the northwest, who fled all the way from the northwest to Guanzhong, and were included in the Shanglin Yuan by the Shaofu to live, where they were responsible for some miscellaneous work such as farming and raising horses.

These people have all seen the cruelty and ferocity of the Huns, and every time they talk to them about being trampled by the Huns again and again in their families, villages, and hometowns, the hatred and grievances on their faces make Peng Yichen's heart drip blood.

However, the Han Dynasty relied on peace and reparations again and again to achieve peace, which made these people who were in urgent need of revenge feel desperate again and again.

What he has seen and heard in the past few months has given Peng Yichen a deeper understanding of how strong the desire of the people at the bottom of the Han Dynasty is to fight against the Xiongnu, which those high-ranking meritorious candidates do not care about. But just like a spark can start a prairie fire, these anger hidden deep at the bottom will sooner or later turn into a fire that burns the entire Han.

Peng Yichen is currently just a horseman, and he can't change the entire Han Dynasty, but he starts from now on, treats these people well, and makes the war horse stronger and stronger.

Just as he walked into the horse pen, a groom surnamed Wang suddenly rushed over and shouted, "Wei Qing, Wei Qing, our horse doesn't know who let it go." Both horses are gone, and if we are tracked down from above, we will lose our heads. ”

When Peng Yichen heard this, he was first happy in his heart, and then felt inexplicably angry. Because he knew that it must be Han Yan, a favorite minister of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who secretly drove the war horse out for Liu Che to shoot and hunt for fun.

To his delight, the opportunity he had been waiting for for months had finally appeared today, and to his anger, a favored minister had the audacity to steal the military horses of the Son of Heaven's own army, just for the emperor's amusement.

You must know that the Han Dynasty has always been pressed and beaten by the Xiongnu, because the cavalry of the Han Dynasty was too poor and there were too few war horses. As a close minister of the emperor's side, Han Yan was able to steal military horses at will because of his selfishness. With the existence of such a person, how could the Han Dynasty take revenge, how could it finally defeat the Huns and avenge the people of the Han Dynasty.

Peng Yichen pulled out a batch of war horses with horse harnesses, immediately turned over and chased them out.

When he hurried to the hunting area of Shanglin Yuan, he saw Liu Che with a team of personal soldiers, hunting two war horses. In a hurry, he shouted: "Your Majesty stop, Your Majesty can't shoot." ”

When he rushed to Liu Che's side, a war horse had already been shot to the ground.

Liu Che listened to Wei Qing's words, then put down the bow and arrow in his hand and did not continue to shoot other war horses.

Looking at the excellent military horses that had been cultivated for several months, and died in vain in the hunting ground, Peng Yichen felt that his heart was torn apart. He rushed to the side of the dead war horse, turned over and dismounted, and knelt beside the war horse with a plop, and tried to put the blood surging on the horse's neck with his hands and feet.

"Your Majesty, you shot the war horse of the Jianzhang Battalion!" The grief and indignation in Peng Yichen's voice made Liu Che feel strange.

"How can it be a war horse? Han Yan, where did Han Yan's dog go, didn't he say that they were all wild horses?" Liu Che shouted and asked twice, Han Yan saw Wei Qing coming from a distance, and he had already slipped away quietly alone.

Liu Che didn't really want to punish his favorite ministers, so he could only give up, turned his horse's head and prepared to leave, and said casually: "Forget it, these horses don't want it, wait until you go back and tell the guards of the Jianzhang Battalion, I won't let him punish you." ”

When Peng Yichen heard this, he only felt that his anger was nowhere to be released, looking at the war horse that had died in the ground, he felt that he had something to say today, otherwise the anger in his heart would burn him completely.

Peng Yichen has thought about today's scene countless times in the past few months, he thought that he would use his acting skills to win the appreciation of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and since then, he has been on the rise.

But when it really came to this day, I watched my partner who got along day and night die in front of me, thinking of the thousands of people who were ravaged by the Huns, and thinking of a delicate woman like Wang Zhaojun who wanted to marry the cold and barbaric Hun tribe. The grief and anger in my heart are as irrepressible as a volcanic eruption.

"Even their own war horses and women don't care for them, what hope is there for such a bloodless Han Dynasty people. The people of the Han Dynasty have no hope, there is no hope!!" When Peng Yichen said this, he didn't care if he was offending the Son of Heaven at all.

He thought of the heroic soldiers of the Han Dynasty, such as Wei Qing, Huo Quzhi, and Li Guang, who sacrificed their lives and forgot to die, and went to the desert to fight to the death with the Huns, and thought of the thousands of Han Dynasty people waiting for revenge.

As long as every man of the Han Dynasty still has a little blood in his heart, he will not share the sky with the Huns, if such a big feud can not be avenged, the Han Dynasty will never become a powerful country.

When Liu Che heard Wei Qing's words, he turned his head suddenly, "What are you talking about, what are you talking about, Wei Qing?"

The majesty and anger of being the Son of Heaven were like a raging wave rushing towards Peng Yichen, but the anger in his heart made him look at Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty without fear: "Your Majesty, why can't we Han Dynasty people defeat the Huns, and are bullied by them at will. Just because we Han Dynasty people don't love their war horses and don't love their own women, but the Huns love their horses and their women like eyes, how can such a bloodless person beat the Huns. ”

Liu Che turned over and dismounted, he didn't get angry because of Wei Qing's confrontation, he put the bow and arrow in his hand on the ground, and pulled up Wei Qing, who was kneeling on the ground: "Wei Qing, I originally thought you were just a horseman, but I didn't expect you to have so many thoughts in your heart." What do you mean by 'Han Dynasty people don't love their own women'?"

Wei Qing stared at Liu Che's eyes tightly, "What I'm talking about is harmony, every time the Huns come, we will make peace, and as soon as they come, we will make peace." Your Majesty, will we Han Dynasty people always have to sacrifice their own women in exchange for peace?"

When Liu Che heard this, the anger in his heart also burned, since he was a child, he had seen too many princesses of the Han Dynasty taken to the desert by carriages and never returned. As an ambitious king, as a man with great self-esteem, every time he thought of this, he wanted to go into battle to kill the enemy in person, and kill all the Huns who dared to offend the Han.

"Of course not, of course you can't buy peace with women. What do you say?" Liu Che looked at Wei Qing's eyes, wanting to see if this was a really bloody man.

"What about the men of our Han Dynasty, where are the men of the Han Dynasty? Isn't it possible to protect our own women even if we fight the blood of all the men of our Han Dynasty?" Peng Yichen roared like a beast that chooses people and devours fierce, ready to tear apart the enemies who invade the territory at any time.

When these words were spoken, even the guards of the Jianzhang battalion who followed Liu Che around them were all red-eyed, and the blood in their chests was stimulated by Wei Qing's words, and there was no trace of contempt for Wei Qing in their hearts.

Liu Che, a generation of heroes, was even more aroused by Wei Qing's words, he patted Wei Qing's arm twice, and pulled him tightly, "Wei Qing, I can see that you are a real man, go, go with me." From this day on, you will be my personal guard, guarding my left and right. ”
