Since Zhao Hao led his 10,000 Zhao family troops to the south, three days have passed, and the Xiongnu land is not far from Chang'an, the Han capital.

Therefore, no matter how leisurely Zhao Hao and his party are, three days is enough for them to complete most of the trip.

At this time, Zhao Hao and others were less than 20 miles away from Chang'an City, and the 10,000 troops behind them had been ordered to be temporarily stationed here, led by Huang Zhong and Xu Chu.

Zhao Hao led a team of less than 1,000 people and continued to move forward slowly and leisurely.

Walking ten miles again, when it is ten miles away from Chang'an City, I saw that there were people in front of me beating gongs and drums, blowing and dancing, laughing and laughing.

Huang Xiaoyu, Liu Qianqian and others beside him also set up a pergola on their foreheads and looked ahead.

Zhao Hao fixed his eyes, but it was a group of people dressed in neat and plain clothes and wearing red cloths, splitting both sides of the main road, playing and singing at the same time, they were also looking forward to the benefits of those who had returned from the north.

What's more, after seeing Zhao Hao and his party from a distance, many people immediately cheered, and the people actually knelt down there one after another, with excitement in their expressions.

Of course, there are also some ministers who belong to the Han court, wearing court clothes, but there are not many of them, although they stand in the middle of the road, they are easy to be ignored.

As Zhao Hao's own people, Jia Yu, Jia Wenhe and naturally came to greet him in person, and in front of the ministers, they smiled with a hint of excitement.

It is said that according to Zhao Hao's exploits at this time, he led the Northern Expeditionary Army of only 50,000 people, and swept away millions of foreign forces in the north of the Han Dynasty in more than a year without spending a single penny or grain on the imperial court.

It not only solved the northern trouble, plundered a large amount of booty, but also laid a large territory for the Han Dynasty.

The most conservative estimate can at least ensure that the northern territory of the Han Dynasty will no longer be in danger of alien troops within a hundred years.

Such a great achievement, not to mention that the dozen or so Han courtiers in front of him went out of the city for ten miles to greet each other, even if it was twenty miles, thirty miles should be.

And it is still the little emperor, Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty personally led hundreds of officials in the court and went out of the city to greet him.

The people in front of them, this little battle, is obviously not enough, which can only show that most people in the court have an ambiguous attitude towards Zhao Hao's return from this victory.

Of course, the people on both sides of the road must have come spontaneously.

For more than a year, although Zhao Hao was fighting outside, he also left Jia Yu, a confidant, in Chang'an City.

During this period, in addition to being responsible for the recruitment order of the imperial court and helping Zhao Hao recruit talents, he also took over the planting of new crops such as sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn.

Even, he has brought the people in the city and the displaced people from all over the country many times, together with the Zhao family army originally stationed outside the city and led by the two generals Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, the army and the people have worked together to open up wasteland and grow various food crops.

Using a variety of ploughing tools designed by Zhinao Xiaohu himself, and using all kinds of cattle, sheep and livestock transported back from the north as labor, thousands of miles of fertile land were reclaimed in the vast area north of Chang'an City.

Even, in order to make it more convenient for the people to come and go, Jia Yu and others also built a town of no small scale in the north of Chang'an City, more than 100 miles away.

When Zhao Hao and others went south, they used to go over there, and they were also greeted by the people there, and the small city was also quite prosperous, and there were many businessmen coming and going.

Now that a year has passed, the crops in the field have grown one after another, and the people in Chang'an City and even some surrounding areas have also reaped a bumper harvest.

I don't dare to say anything else, at least in this year, these people under the influence of Zhao Hao have never been hungry again, and they have not experienced any too heavy forced labor.

It can be said that although Zhao Hao has been fighting outside some time ago, Jia Yu is very caring, recruiting troops for him in the rear and recruiting talents, while also harvesting a group of prestige from low-level people.

In this case, it is natural for someone to be loved.

From this point of view, Jia Yu is also worthy of being a rare comprehensive talent, and in comparison, he Liu Bei and Uncle Liu Huang are much inferior.

Although this hero, who is known for his benevolence and love for the people, both in the romance and in the game plot, has also done a lot of things in this year.

However, the various resources in his hands are insufficient, although as the defender of Chang'an City and the leader of the forbidden army, he does have a group of troops under his hands.

But his soldiers were mainly responsible for guarding Chang'an City and guarding the royal security, and it was the Praetorian Guard.

In terms of status, it is different from ordinary soldiers, and most of its members are from the scholar class.

If Liu Bei dared to take this army to open up wasteland and build private property, not to mention that the courtiers of the Manchu Dynasty would be dissatisfied with him, even the little emperor Liu Xie would probably have a complaint against him.

In addition, it is the spoils that were transported back to the territory of the Han Dynasty on the way to Zhao Hao's Northern Expedition, and most of them are cattle, sheep, horses and other livestock.

A small number of exotic gold and silver ornaments are full, and it is estimated that it is difficult to conform to the aesthetics of the officials of the court, so it is just a matter of looking fresh.

After the livestock were returned, some of them naturally belonged to the royal family and were sent to the private gardens of the royal family, and most of the other were divided among the ministers at all levels.

Liu Beigui was the emperor's uncle and the commander of the forbidden army, so he was also given one hundred and ten cattle and sheep, and more than a dozen horses.

are all good things, but they are not enough to make him like Zhao Hao, using cattle and horses as laborers to help the people open up wasteland.

Therefore, in the past year or so, although Liu Bei has also done something, and Chang'an City has been governed in an orderly manner, compared to Zhao Hao's actions, he can also be worthy of a decent evaluation without minor skills.

But as the saying goes, full of warm thoughts****.

Once people are rich, they often unconsciously think about other things.

As for Uncle Liu Huang, even when he was weaving mats and selling shoes, he did not forget to care about the world, and three people and three riders dared to run to the princes of the Eighteenth Road to participate in the alliance.

Once he is rich, he will naturally have more thoughts in his heart.

In fact, since Liu Bei was named the commander of the forbidden army and the defender of Chang'an City, the strange little flame in his heart seemed to be a little uncontrollable.

Since Zhao Hao led the Northern Expeditionary Army to leave Chang'an, this imperial uncle, who suddenly made a fortune, put some of his own careful thoughts on the agenda.

On weekdays, in addition to being diligent in making friends with hundreds of officials in the court and the various families in Chang'an City, he also hit the Zhao family army stationed outside Chang'an City many times.

After all, the army taken away by Zhao Hao's Northern Expedition was only 50,000 in total, and there were as many as 70,000 or 80,000 in the surrounding areas of Chang'an.

Maybe in Liu Bei's heart, Zhao Hao dared to go to the Northern Expedition with an army of 50,000 people, in addition to a commendable evaluation of courage, more people would think that he was looking for death, right?

In his cognition, Zhao Hao went to the Northern Expedition, and it is estimated that most of them will never come back.

In this case, the remaining Zhao Jiajun naturally became the object of Liu Bei's snooping.

When there is nothing to do, this Uncle Liu Huang will go to the camp of the Zhao family army outside the city in various names, under the banner of communication, with a small number of personal entourage, as well as his second and third brothers.

While exchanging feelings, he did not forget to show his benevolent and virtuous side in front of Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, and many soldiers in the barracks.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei beside him are also very brave and martial arts, and the martial artists cherish each other, and they often learn martial arts with Zhang Gaoer.

This indirectly also shows his Liu Bei's force, and vaguely reflects his identity as the emperor's uncle, Corporal Lixian, and the reliable master of that generation

It's a pity that Liu Bei doesn't know that the second general of Liao Gaoshun, although he has a heart-to-heart relationship with Yun Changyi, he is indeed still wary of Liu Bei.

And after recognizing Zhao Hao as the master, they can exchange all kinds of information with him anytime and anywhere, and there is a resourceful think-tank like Jia Yu next to them to discuss.

What his idea was made by Uncle Liu Huang was also obvious in front of him, but later, due to the war in the north, it greatly exceeded Liu Bei's expectations.

In this case, Uncle Liu Huang has restrained himself, but it seems that he still has not given up his ideals~

Over the past year or so, the defenders in Chang'an City who belong to Liu Bei have also expanded from the original 20,000 or 30,000 to the current 50,000 or 60,000.

Although nominally, these defenders were all troops to be supported and supplied by the imperial court, but in reality they were no different from Liu Bei's army.

However, Zhao Hao is not a good person, although he was more optimistic about Liu Bei before, he can't be said to be completely trusted.

Therefore, before leaving Chang'an and leading the army to the Northern Expedition, someone also took the opportunity to go to Uncle Liu's mansion as a guest, and ruthlessly sprinkled a miniature bugging device and surveillance camera equipment, and handed it over to Xiaohu for direct management.

It can be said that for more than a year, although Zhao Hao is not in Chang'an, his every move of Uncle Liu Huang is also under his control, and at this time, Liu Bei's figure is impressively in the greeting team. (To be continued.) )
