probably can't stand the praise of Zhang Yuan from the people around him.

Liu Che hurriedly gave an order and started today's hunting activities.

Thousands of wild beasts were released from the various enclosures and driven by the army to the hunting grounds.

One by one, the boys of each family took their crossbows and arrows and began to shoot the beasts at will.

Liu Che is also benevolent.

If a beast can run into the mountains and forests, it will naturally survive and save a life.

The surrounding court officials were constantly keeping track of who and who had hunted which beast.

Among them, there were several large black bears in the herd, and many conceited young men targeted those bears.

One young man stood out among the beasts, dressed in dark gold armor and holding a bright silver spear at least three meters long.

The length of this gun is already up to the body of two teenagers.

The war horse under the crotch did not panic at all because of the scurrying of beasts, and it looked like a rare good horse outside.

The beasts encountered on the road were all killed by the young man.

He seemed to disdain to use a bow and crossbow to shoot wild beasts.

In the camp of the female dependents, Princess Pingyang was very happy.

"Look at the sick child."

A hint of loneliness flashed on Wei Shao'er's face.

His son has not had much to do with her since he entered the palace.

It seems that Princess Pingyang has become Huo Quai's mother, and Liu Che is Huo Quai's father.

The royal family is extremely fond of and attaches great importance to Huo Qu's disease.

It's even been written down in the family tree.

"A few months ago, Xin'anhou knocked on the sick child, and now the sick child has experienced setbacks and is even more vigorous."

Xiao Ruo didn't know about this, so she could only choose to prick up her ears and listen carefully.

"Yes, I was originally praised by His Majesty for being born rich and noble.

Ordinary people only praised him when they saw him, and he even obtained an official position at this age.

He thought that Xin Anhou could teach him a lesson. ”

"Ladies, can you elaborate on that?"

Princess Pingyang glanced at Xiao Ruo, and she liked it very much in her heart.

As long as this kind of beauty doesn't ruin her plan, she will like it when she sees it.

"When Xin'anhou exercised the army, he taught a lesson to the sick children.

Let the sick child understand that it is not just by bravery that you can win on the battlefield, but also by strategy. ”

Xiao Ruo could only sigh when he heard it.

On the side of the main stand, Liu Che was also very satisfied with Huo Quzhi's performance.

"Xin'anhou."

"The minister is here."

"Do you think the sick child has improved compared to a few months ago?"

"Huo Qubing was born rich and noble, Your Majesty, you like him, and the minister also thinks that this son is a piece of jade, which can be reused with a little polishing."

"Do you think he can lead the troops?"

"The minister thinks that if the 56,000 cavalry is handed over to an eighteen-year-old Huo Quai, the battle losses will be lower than those led by the minister, but the harvest will be more than the minister's gain."

Zhang Yuan was telling the truth.

Because Zhang Yuan did not have the strength to support himself to fight the Huns, under this kind of war, the Han army actually suffered a loss.

This era is far from reaching an era in which a military advisor can influence the tide of battle.

The time when the war in China entered the strategy as an important element of victory and defeat was at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

And before that, even Zhao Kuo, who had super high military talent, was evaluated as a piece of paper.

Throughout the Qin and Han dynasties, there was no general commander who could not go on horseback to fight.

Zhang Yuan was the first.

A commander leads his troops to charge on the battlefield, the kind of mobility is unimaginable, and the control of the army is also very sufficient.

The commander rushed to the front, and the soldiers behind followed and charged in one direction.

But if Zhang Yuan let his soldiers charge, I am afraid that in less than half a day, he will completely lose his ability to control the army.

"Xin'anhou actually has such a high opinion of a young man, which really surprises me."

Although Liu Che was happy, he also felt that Zhang Yuan admired Huo Qubing so much because of Wei Qing's face.

"Your Majesty, wait a few years, and when Huo Qu is an adult, it will be the day when the general and I get off the horse and return to the field."

Zhang Yuan told the truth, but no one took it seriously.

Just as everyone was watching the young man hunt the beast, Han Yan, who was sitting behind Liu Che, suddenly stood up.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks it's a little boring just to watch this beast hunt.

The minister thought that Xin'anhou was a person with excellent martial arts at a glance, so he wanted to dance with Xin'anhou to cheer His Majesty. ”

Originally, Han said that he should also be a marquis in this battle.

But Zhang Yuan let Han Cheng gain nothing, and even lost his official position.

The Han family held a grudge against Zhang Yuan because of this.

Now that the autumn is hunting, all the leading figures in Chang'an City are here, and Han Yan wants to lose Zhang Yuan's face.

Liu Che looked at Zhang Yuan with a smile, after all, Zhang Yuan was the party concerned.

"Doctor Shang laughed, I'm just a helpless person.

I don't know where the doctor heard the rumor, but if he told me about the man's name, I would like to thank him. ”

"Xin Anhou, is this afraid?"

"yes, I'm scared."

Zhang Yuan didn't bother to say anything to Han Yan, he really couldn't beat Han Yan, and when the time came, he would be beaten and embarrassed, so it was better to be generous.

"The Marquis of Xin'an is the Marquis of Wanhu, and he is the hussar general of my Han Dynasty, and even I am afraid of a literati, which is really the misfortune of the Han Dynasty."

Han Yan said this a bit too much.

Even Liu Che frowned.

It's purely looking for something for the sake of finding something.

"Doctor, if you want to dance the sword, I can dance the sword with you."

Li Jian, who had just been named the Marquis of Tsing Yi, stood up at this time.

But Han Yan is not stupid.

Zhang Yuan can't beat him, and he can't beat Li Jian.

"Does Xin'anhou still have people to take turns to fight me? It is hard to imagine how Xin'anhou defeated the Xiongnu army, relying on the bravery of his subordinates? ”

"Doctor, I don't know how you climbed to this position, did it depend on your ancestors to run to the Huns to be dogs for others?"

"Enough!"

Zhang Yuan and Han Yan sprayed each other, and Liu Che was the most angry.

Because the officials of the two men were sealed by him.

"Your Majesty is angry."

"Han Yan, if you cause trouble again, get out of Shanglin Yuan for me!"

"I don't dare."

Zhang Yuan's status is really meritorious, and Han Yan completely relies on Liu Che's favor and the remnants of his ancestors.

Zhang Yuan also understood why the Han was able to tolerate these traitors, because the military strength of the Xiongnu was able to overwhelm the Han before.

Those ghost slaves who had surrendered to the Xiongnu rebelled back into the arms of the Han Dynasty, which could make the people of the Han Dynasty feel that their strength on their side was improving.

Therefore, many of the traitors and Huns who surrendered to the Han were rewarded.

Even the emperors still attach great importance to them, if Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty does not pay attention to them, Han Yan will not become Liu Che's companion, and if Liu Che does not pay attention to them, Jin Riyan will not become the minister of Tuogu.

The hiccup passed quickly.

Huo Quzhi singled out a blind bear by himself, and stabbed the blind bear to death. 258

However, Huo Quai's war horse also died in the herd.

Wait for the herd to retreat into the mountains and forests.

Huo Quzhi called a few soldiers and dragged the big black bear to the main stand.

"Your Majesty, the minister has killed a black bear and is here to dedicate it to Your Majesty."

Liu Che smiled and nodded, he really liked Huo Quzhi.

Zhang Yuan is very envious of this kind of feeling, the most comfortable thing in Dahan is Huo Quzhi's generation and those juniors of Huo Quai.

The elders are always kind to the juniors.

Even if Liu Ju was forced to rebel in the end, not many of his peers died.

Many of the people implicated are Zhang Yuan and his generation, among which Wei Zifu's suicide is the most heart-wrenching.

"Since it was dedicated to me as a sick child, then I will give the left forehand of this black bear to Xin'anhou."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"The right front palm is given to the Marquis of Tsing Yi, the left back palm is given to the prime minister, and the right back palm is given to the imperial doctor.

Let's go to the sick and take it back and share it with the soldiers. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Fortunately, he was only rewarded with a bear's paw, Zhang Yuan thought in his heart.

After all, no matter how much Liu Che rewarded, it was all to be solved on the spot.

The bear's paw was quickly cooked by a special down.

At this time, don't think about how delicious it is.

However, Zhang Yuan's chicken thief brought some condiments.

The bear paw that was rewarded to Zhang Yuan was directly peeled and then cooked raw, given a little salt and oil, and that's it.

Compared with the raw meat of the Hongmen Banquet, Zhang Yuan feels that he is still relatively happy now.

At the very least, there are fewer people who eat raw meat, and the cooks know how to cook the dishes before serving them.

So with the special dipping sauce, Zhang Yuan ate for half an hour before he solved a bear paw.

Liu Che left eight hundred years ago, and Zhang Yuan naturally wouldn't stay here for long after eating.

got up and went to the camp where the ladies were resting, but Zhang Yuan didn't go in, and asked the people who were serving outside to go in and call Xiao Ruo out.

"Madam, Xin'anhou is waiting for you outside."

Xiao Ruo immediately got up and said goodbye to the rest of the women.

Only Princess Pingyang took Xiao Ruo's hand and said something embarrassing.

made Xiao Ruo blush for a while.

When Xiao Ruo came out of the big tent, it was lively all of a sudden.

"Xin'anhou guarded such a lovely person, and he didn't even think crookedly."

"yes, don't you really have some old illness."

Princess Pingyang turned around and swept it with cold eyes, and the ladies with broken mouths immediately stopped.

Zhang Yuan saw Xiao Ruo come out with a flushed face, and immediately guessed that it was not far from ten.

These women of the Great Han are very open.

Only the yellow flower girl who has not passed through the door has a pure side.

If Xiao Ruo chatted with these women, he was afraid that he would always want to find a hole in the ground to get into.

"Give it to me."

Zhang Yuan sighed and said.

Xiao Ruo immediately stretched out his little hand like mutton fat jade.

Zhang Yuan pinched it unconsciously, and then helped Xiao Ruo to get her on the horse.

Then Zhang Yuan sat behind Xiao Ruo and hugged her.

This is probably the most intimate move Zhang Yuan has ever done to Xiao Ruo since he got married.

"Drive!"

Zhang Yuan pulled the reins and headed towards the east, obviously not going to Chang'an City.

Because Chang'an City is on the north side of the hunting ground.

"Master Hou, where are we going?"

"Go to Lantian Mountain."

Xiao Ruo had heard of the Xin'anhou Mansion at the foot of Lantian Mountain.

It is said that sweet tea, watermelon and potatoes are all cultivated in that soil.

In addition, Zhang Yuan's first workshop was also established there, which can be regarded as the place where Zhang Yuan made his fortune.

However, Xiao Ruo has never been there, and only occasionally heard people in the mansion mention it.

The food and clothing of the Xin'anhou Mansion in Chang'an City were all transported from the Xin'anhou Mansion in Lantian Mountain.

Xiao Ruo knew this.

Before dark, Zhang Yuan took Xiao Ruo and rushed to Lantian Mountain on horseback.

It's still brightly lit.

There is a field outside the Hou Mansion dedicated to planting the seeds brought back by Zhang Qian.

Edible melons and grapes are also available for growth.

Basically, only the Xin'anhou Mansion can eat it in the whole Han Dynasty.

In recent years, Liu Che no longer thinks about appetite, which allows these fruits to enter Zhang Yuan's mouth.

"That's what the vines look like."

Xiao Ruo's favorite food is grapes.

If it weren't for Zhang Yuan's guidance to build up the vines, it is estimated that it is difficult to see the grapes growing in Shanglinyuan.

Shanglin Yuan has a grape palace and lychee palace or something, all of which are planted with melons and fruits from all over the world, but there is nothing that can be eaten.

Over time, these palaces were abandoned, and were occasionally used as a garrison for large armies.

"Well, that's what it looks like.

We will stay in Lam Tin Mountain for a while, and if you like, you can eat all-you-can-eat grapes every day. ”

Because it didn't take long to start autumn, Xiao Ruo hadn't eaten grapes a few times, and now he looked very excited.

This Xin'anhou Mansion at the foot of Lantian Mountain is now run by Xiong Da Xiong Er.

Lao Zhao went to Chang'an City, and Xiong Daxiong Er was originally in charge of the iron-smelting workshop, but now those iron-smelting workshops have been expropriated by Liu Che.

Zhuo Wangsun's blacksmiths also gave Liu Che money to cast, Xiong Daxiong Er was Zhang Yuan's person, and Zhang Yuan let them return to Lantian Mountain.

Zhang Yuan returned to Lantian Mountain after almost a year, which surprised the people in the mansion.

These people were originally tenants here, and they didn't think about going out to see the outside world after following Zhang Yuan.

"Master Hou, you're back, I'll let Xiaoqing Xiaoya clean up your main building."

Xiaoqing Xiaoya is also in Lantian Mountain, this is a happier place, Zhang Yuan didn't want the two of them to serve people, so he left the two of them here.

"This is my newly married lady of the main room, and she will be your master from now on."

Xiong Da and the others knew that Zhang Yuan was married to a main family, but they didn't go to Chang'an City at that time, so they didn't see Xiao Ruo.

"The villain has seen Madame."

Xiao Ruo nodded and smiled, without a bit of arrogance.

"Let's go, let's go in and talk."

Zhang Yuan led Xiao Ruo, who was very curious about everything, into this mansion, and walked through some corridors before arriving at the main building in the center.

"The bamboo building on the left belongs to Wenjun, and the one on the right behind is yours.

Tomorrow let them pack up and change into new bedding. ”

"Master Hou, are there only these three buildings in the house?"

"There is also a bamboo building in the depths of the bamboo forest behind, which is the home of one of my brothers.

When something happened to that brother, he entrusted his family to me, and you should not go there in the future. ”

Zhang Yuan thought about it and didn't tell Xiao Ruo the truth.

The less one person knows, the more security there is, Zhang Yuan doesn't believe Xiao Ruo, he just doesn't want Xiao Ruo to be in danger.
