Six days later, Chang'an City built Zhang Palace.

"Report! Eight hundred miles of the surrendered city was reported in an urgent battle!! ”

A cavalryman shouted and rushed into the Jianzhang Palace with a document in his hand.

Frontier war report, no one dares to stop it.

You don't even need to be censored at the palace gate.

"Your Majesty, General Wei sent someone to send a battle report about the battle of Fuyang Jushan."

The Yellow Gate Squire stood in front of Liu Che and said respectfully.

"Bring him in!"

Liu Che was a little excited, he didn't know what the outcome of the battle would be, and normal news was still on the way.

This battle, in total, only took three or four days to come to an end.

"The villain greets Your Majesty."

Although the cavalry who delivered the battle report was exhausted, they still took out their most sufficient mental head when they saw Liu Che.

"Get up, do you have the battle report that General Wei sent you with you?"

"Here in the villain."

The cavalryman handed the bamboo tube he was holding in his hand to the Yellow Gate Squire on the side.

Liu Che took the paperwork and immediately ordered.

"Send someone to take this little brother to rest, prepare wine and good food and wait."

"Whoa."

Liu Che saw that there was no panic on the face of this cavalryman, but with excitement, and he knew that the war in the northern frontier did not disappoint him.

It's just that I don't know if Zhang Yuan completed this feat with 56,000 cavalry, or if the 100,000 cavalry led by Gongsun He arrived.

Liu Che opened the bamboo tube and pulled out the paperwork inside.

The more I looked at it, the more I couldn't suppress the joy on my face.

In the document, Zhang Yuan briefly talked about the situation of the war.

The 200,000 cavalry of the Xiongnu lost 120,000, and the Hun Hutu King was captured, and 500,000 cattle and sheep and 30,000 horses were seized.

The Han army's 56,000 cavalry lost 36,000 and won a complete victory.

The evil king of the Huns expressed his intention to take refuge in the Han Dynasty.

When Liu Che saw this, he was not just surprised.

If the evil king of Hun can surrender, then only the tribe of the Xiongnu Dadan Yu military ministers will remain.

Those people can't threaten the big man at all.

Next, Zhang Yuan said that he would take the remaining 20,000 cavalry back to Chang'an to rest.

However, the 100,000 foot soldiers organized by the general Gongsun He of the chariot cavalry were almost to the surrendered city, and the war here was over.

It was suggested that Liu Che transfer Gongsun He's 100,000 troops to the city of Qidang in order to force the Xiongnu Dadan to retreat north.

It is already autumn, and winter is coming soon, and the Han army is not suitable for another battle.

Zhang Yuan's advice was considered very seriously by Liu Che.

As Zhang Yuan said, if Gongsun He's 100,000 army chooses to return to Chang'an at this time, the grain and grass consumed on the way will be in vain.

And the war in Yuyang County is likely to continue, then Yuyang County will become a gold-swallowing beast.

It's still the kind that only gets in and can't get out.

Because Wei Qing had no way to defeat the generals and ministers with one blow, he could not get supplies from the ministers, which was very fatal.

There is no value for both sides other than casualties.

Such a war loses its meaning.

Liu Che simply analyzed the current situation and thought that what Zhang Yuan said was right.

Zhang Yuan got more than 100,000 cattle and more than 300,000 sheep this time, which is of extraordinary significance to Dahan.

In the desert, the Huns only had food for cattle and sheep, and they also needed their fur and clothing.

However, in the Han Dynasty, the fur of cattle and sheep was not used to make clothes for ordinary people, and these animal skins could be made into tough leather armor.

Cattle are not to be eaten, but to be used to plough the land.

If every household has a cow, the efficiency of plowing the field can be increased by at least three times.

What the people of the Han Dynasty lacked was not arable land, but oxen that could be used to plough the wasteland.

Although the quyuan plough can be used to plough the fields, it is still very laborious to really reclaim the wasteland by manpower.

Earlier, Tian Wei begged for Dou Ying's cultivated land, because the land was fertile enough and the soil was loose.

Dahan may need to digest the fruits of this victory.

500,000 head of cattle and sheep have benefited more than one million people.

And the benefits to the dynasty are also obvious.

Cattle will certainly not be used by the people for free, and they will definitely be rented out.

It's just that the money for renting cattle is definitely much lower than the extra income of the people, and in the farming society, cattle are worth more than people, which is not a joke.

It is estimated that the sheep will be sold directly to the people, so that the people can obtain actual benefits.

The Han people will not be willing to eat sheep and cattle, they can raise sheep and breed and then sell them to the rich.

Liu Che quickly had a plan in his heart, returned to the desk, took out a piece of paper and began to write on it with a brush.

After writing one letter, put it in a bamboo tube and seal it with fire clay, and then start writing the second letter.

Liu Che had to write a total of three secret edicts.

One to General Wei Zhang Yuan, one to the cavalry general Gongsun He, and one to the hussar general Wei Qing.

The Han also has sacrifices in the autumn, and if the army can return in the autumn, it will be greatly exciting.

This had an extraordinary impact on consolidating Liu Che's influence.

After writing them, Liu Che put these edicts in a wooden box and filled the wooden box with other things.

That's when people were called in.

"Someone's coming."

"Your Majesty."

"This box was rushed to the hands of Gongsun He, the general of the Che Cavalry, and this box was sent to the hands of Sima Weiqing, the Great Sima of Yuyang County.

This box was handed over to General Wei Zhang Yuan before he entered Beijing. ”

There are priorities, except that Gongsun He must know his next task earlier, Wei Qing can wait, as for Zhang Yuan, there is no task left.

All the things that Zhang Yuan needs to do have been done.

"Whoa."

"These three wooden boxes must be handed over to them by hand, and no one is allowed to open them."

"The servant will be ready."

The so-called perfect preparation is nothing more than adding a few embroidered messengers to the team to deliver the wooden box.

The three wooden boxes had just been sent out of Jianzhang Palace, and the news of the victory in Northern Xinjiang had already spread in Chang'an City.

The driving force behind the scenes is Liu Che.

Let everyone enjoy the joy of victory in advance, the half-year-long war has already made some people start to think carefully.

Chang'an City Pingyang Hou Mansion.

That night, Princess Pingyang sent someone to Xin'anhou Mansion.

invited Zhuo Wenjun to the Pingyang Marquis Mansion for dinner.

Zhuo Wenjun was shocked.

She couldn't even think of such a thing.

Even if she is married to Zhang Yuan, she will definitely not be able to integrate into the circle of top women in the Han Dynasty.

Not to mention the top women, even if they are second-level, those hostesses who are in charge of Guan Neihou, Zhuo Wenjun is not qualified to eat with them.

Zhang Yuan has never cared about this thing, what status, fame and face are not very important to Zhang Yuan.

But Zhuo Wenjun is an ancient, and she actually hopes to be recognized by everyone in her heart.

That's why Princess Pingyang invited her to dine together, and she was so excited. Beautiful book bar

She has always been worried about her situation, but she didn't know that Wei Qing's original wife had no news after Wei Qing became a marquis.

There are not even a few people in the entire Chang'an City who know what the surname of the original wife of Da Sima Weiqing is.

After knowing that he was going to go to the Pingyang Marquis Mansion to have dinner with the eldest princess of the Han Dynasty, Zhuo Wenjun took out his most precious jewelry and the most gorgeous clothes to dress himself up.

After Zhuo Wangsun knew the news, he was also very excited in his heart.

What kind of thing is it that makes Princess Binh Duong possible to recognize his daughter.

"Lao Zhao, is the carriage ready?"

Although the Xin'an Hou Mansion is only a few steps away from the Pingyang Hou Mansion, the female dependents of the Hou Mansion still can't easily show their faces outside, and they must take a carriage when they go out, which is for sure.

"Madame, the carriage is waiting outside."

"Do you know that there are other people going to the Pingyang Hou Mansion tonight?"

"I only heard that there is also the lord of the King of Huainan, the wife of the general of the Che Cavalry."

"But Da Sima's sister."

"Yes."

Zhuo Wenjun is really envious of Wei Qing's two sisters, Wei Junru and Wei Shao'er, originally everyone had similar status, but now they are really one person who has attained Taoism and ascended to heaven.

Zhuo Wenjun can only blame his two elder brothers for not being angry, and blame himself for not having a sister who can marry into the palace.

"We can't let a few nobles wait for a long time, so let's go."

"Yes, ma'am."

It's a pity that Zhuo Wenjun still naively thinks that Princess Pingyang is really beginning to recognize her identity.

After waiting until the Pingyang Hou Mansion, Zhuo Wenjun felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong.

Wei Junru didn't raise her eyes to look at Zhuo Wenjun, reasoning with the relationship between Wei Qing and Zhang Yuan, she, as a sister, shouldn't treat Zhuo Wenjun like this.

And the famous courtesan in Chang'an City, Liu Ling, the king of Huainan, can not leave a name in the historical materials, but she, a prince and the king, is a strange woman who leaves a name, facing Zhuo Wenjun's face full of smiles.

As for Princess Pingyang, the main owner, she stood up when she saw Zhuo Wenjun, and Zhuo Wenjun was so frightened that she hurriedly bowed and saluted.

"Zhuo Wenjun of Xin'an Hou Mansion meets Her Royal Highness the eldest princess."

"The eldest daughter of the Zhuo family doesn't need to be polite, please take a seat first."

The title of Princess Pingyang made Zhuo Wenjun's heart skip a beat.

"Thank you, Your Highness the Eldest Princess."

Before taking a seat, Zhuo Wenjun gave a salute to Liu Ling and Wei Junru in turn.

Liu Ling and Wei Junru just nodded.

The atmosphere of the dinner was very awkward, no one spoke at first, and Princess Pingyang had to cough twice.

"I'm afraid the eldest daughter of the Zhuo family doesn't know the rumors of Chang'an City today."

Zhuo Wenjun shook her head, she really didn't know what rumors were.

Basically, she will only know when the whole city knows.

In this noble circle, Zhuo Wenjun was not isolated, but he never came in the first place.

"The general of my Han Dynasty, that is, Zhang Yuan, the Marquis of Xin'an, has won a decisive victory in northern Xinjiang and will return to Chang'an City in the near future."

"Xin'anhou wins?"

"An unprecedented victory!"

Zhuo Wenjun has been worried about Zhang Yuan for a month, she knows that Zhang Yuan's soldiers are only 56,000 cavalry.

The Huns, on the other hand, had 200,000 cavalry, and it was difficult to hold back the 200,000 cavalry of King Hutu and King Hun for half a month, but it didn't take long for the news of a big victory to come.

"Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, do you know the details?"

Princess Pingyang smiled and shook her head.

"Don't say it's me, even the Son of Heaven doesn't know.

The urgent battle report was only sent to the Jianzhang Palace this afternoon, and the details will not be clear until General Wei returns to Chang'an City to report on his work. ”

"God bless the Han, God bless the new Anhou.

Fill this cup. ”

Liu Ling raised his glass very abruptly and drank it.

Zhuo Wenjun hurriedly picked up the wine glass and drank a glass.

"Do you know why I came to you today?"

Zhuo Wenjun continued to shake her head, she was still too tender in the face of these women.

But she also knew that it was definitely not to recognize her identity, was it simply to congratulate her.

"After Xin'anhou returns to Chang'an, the Son of Heaven will definitely give him the highest honor.

But now that Xin'an Hou has passed the year of its establishment, there is no housewife in the family to take charge of the family's major affairs, and he is afraid of being criticized in Chang'an.

I called you here today just to ask, does Xin'anhou have the heart to marry? ”

What should come is still coming, Zhuo Wenjun has been worried about this day for a long time.

"Back to Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, I don't know what Xin'anhou thinks in his heart."

"Then you can object to Xin'an Houna's wife?"

"The little girl doesn't dare."

"In this case, tomorrow I will start to see if the nobles of Chang'an City can have a suitable marriage match.

When the time comes, if there is a suitable candidate, the eldest daughter of the Zhuo family can also take a look. ”

Zhuo Wenjun didn't dare to object at all, even if Zhang Yuan was sitting next to her, she didn't dare to object.

"The little girl listens to Her Royal Highness the eldest princess."

"Okay, let's eat it first, it won't taste good if it's cold."

At this time, Zhuo Wenjun really thought that Zhang Yuan was the little worker who did things in Zhuo's iron smelting workshop in the past.

The higher a person's status, the more things they know, the more things that are difficult to control.

If Zhuo Wenjun marries Sima Xiangru, it will not make people think that he is Gao Pan.

But if Zhang Yuan marries Zhuo Wenjun now, outsiders may say a lot of gossip.

Wang Huan, the empress dowager of the Han Dynasty who has not appeared, is estimated to come forward to stop it.

That's the rule.

After eating, Zhuo Wenjun hurriedly left the Pingyang Hou Mansion.

This is a place she never wants to come to again.

After Zhuo Wenjun left, Wei Junru also got up and retreated.

The reason why she has a bad attitude towards Zhuo Wenjun is entirely because Zhang Yuan's big victory will cause his husband to return in vain.

When Liu Ling and Princess Pingyang were left in the hall, the expressions of the two of them became serious.

"Cousin."

"Cousin."

"You sent someone to tell your uncle that it's time to come to Chang'an City.

His Majesty misses him very much. ”

"My sister will tell the truth, but Your Majesty's thoughts will be revealed in detail by my sister."

"Your Majesty has only asked me to tell you this, and the mind of the Son of Heaven is beyond your ability for me to speculate.

You just have to do it, and don't leave the house again during this time, and be careful of misfortune. ”

"Thank you sister for reminding me."

When the threat to the northwest of the Han Dynasty was almost eliminated, and the Han-Hungarian War was going extremely smoothly, Liu Che finally moved his mind to clean up the stubborn forces in the country when he was just entering middle age.

"No thanks, it's all as it should be.

Speaking of which, you are also old, and you should find a husband. ”

"Sister, this is trying to pull a line with Xin'anhou for my sister?"

Liu Ling asked with a smile.

"You don't deserve it!"

The coldness on Princess Pingyang's face was undoubtedly revealed at this moment.
