Shanglin Garden, is Liu Che in the third year of the founding of the Yuan Dynasty (138 B.C.) in the Qin Dynasty on the site of an old garden to expand into a palace garden, the scale is magnificent, there are many palaces, there are a variety of functions and amusement content. According to the "Hanshu Old Ritual": "Hundreds of beasts are raised in the garden, and the Son of Heaven shoots and hunts in the garden in the spring and autumn, and countless beasts are taken. Among them, there are 70 palaces, allowing thousands of rides. "Among them, there are 36 gardens, 12 palaces, and 35 views. Shanglin Yuan land spans Chang'an, Xianyang, Zhouzhi, Huxian, Lantian five counties and counties, 300 miles longitudinally and horizontally, there are Ba, Chan, Jing, Wei, Feng, Pickaxe, Prison, Tangerine eight water in and out of it.

When Liu Chegang ascended the throne, he was also young and vigorous and wanted to do something unusual, but the Empress Dowager Dou, who had been accustomed to Huang Lao's doctrine for most of her life, didn't like his grandson tossing around, and gave him a stumbling block in many things. Liu Che has been making trouble for a few years, but after all, he is fledgling, his arms can't twist his thighs, and he sees that the throne is about to be lost, so he can only temporarily rest and wait for the coming day.

But even so, Liu Che was building in Shanglin Yuan during a low-key time, but he didn't let Empress Dowager Dou take it too seriously. I don't know that the young Liu Che also formed his own army Yulin Army here, and trained a large number of generals at all levels who will be used to fight against the Huns in the future, the most prominent of which is the commander of this Yulin Army - Taizhong Doctor Wei Qing!

Thinking that Liu Che was just idle, he couldn't bear to have a good time, and he was just playing with guns and sticks in Shanglin Yuan, so she didn't care too much, if she knew that it was the 800 Yulin Army trained from here that became the foundation of the Han cavalry and the backbone of the generals who fought against the Xiongnu army in the future, completely subverting the foundation of Huang Lao's theory of governing the country that she had maintained all her life, I don't know how she would feel.

It is now the fifth year of Yuanguang, Liu Che has been in power for five years, and it has been more than three years since the siege of Mayi firmly held the power in his hands, and today's Liu Che does not need to be afraid to take care of anyone's face whether it is in terms of culture or martial arts, and he has been seriously training for several years in the Central Army of Chang'an-the Northern and Southern Army, which can be regarded as quite effective. But even now, the Yulin Army in Shanglin Yuan can still gallop in the wilderness behind Liu Che from time to time, practicing the art of war against the enemy, and Wei Qing, the commander of the Yulin Army, is now almost inseparable from Liu Che.

This year's New Year, Chang'an is still very lively, the celebration of Weiyang Palace has lasted for several days, on this big festival, the whole world celebrates, naturally it is the best time to relax and enjoy.

However, at this time, Liu Che was not in Weiyang Palace, but in Shanglin Garden.

Although the sky is not bad today, it is not very good, the breeze is blowing, and when you get to the wild, you can only feel a chill.

Eight hundred Yulin galloped in the wild, not only was not wrapped by the cold air in the north and made it difficult to move, but instead gave birth to a cloud of hot air out of thin air, forcibly dispersing the surrounding cold air. Everywhere the eight hundred elite horsemen went, the heat was churning and the murderous aura was awe-inspiring.

Today, we don't play military formations against the enemy, but hunting.

Naturally, there will be no shortage of hunting places and no shortage of prey.

At the front of the Yulin Army, a young man in handsome armor has extraordinary riding skills, and the horses under him are even more vigorous, but compared to these, what is more outstanding is his archery.

Vertical horse, loose reins, lead the bow, set up arrows, to shoot, every step of the movement is crisp and neat, if you have to find a word to describe his movements, there are only two words - domineering!

The arrows are out, and there are almost no false shots. One prey after another was shot by him with an arrow, and all of them were shot in the head, and many of them were even pierced through the eyes. The handsome young man shot the prey in front of him, but he didn't mean to stop, the dead things that had become trophies no longer seemed to arouse his interest, and after the arrow came out, he didn't look again, his eyes turned back to the front, and he didn't stop searching for the next prey.

The gains he has made are not enough to keep him excited, and the only thing that can make him still excited in the next moment is the opponent in front of him.

He didn't care about the spoils, he only had the next mountain to climb and leap over. What he wants is not the glory of a victory, but the satisfaction of conquering his opponent, a sense of victory that does not stop.

Victory is always obsessive, and uninterrupted succession of victories can make people crazy.

If you can control the life and death of your prey, you can control the fate of your prey at will. This is domineering.

This is Liu Che.

……

Wei Qing followed behind Liu Che, with a thoughtful look on his face.

Liu Che has been leading the Yulin Army on a safari for two hours, and in these two hours, Liu Che has not stopped for a moment, nor has he turned back to speak to anyone, Liu Che is just one person who keeps searching for prey, and then hunting these prey. With such a high-intensity mounted shooting, Wei Qing couldn't help but worry in his heart.

What he is worried about is not that Liu Che's body is unbearable, Liu Che can fight a black bear with a dagger in his hand at the age of thirteen, and his physique is not comparable to ordinary people, or even ordinary generals in the army. Liu Che's martial arts are outstanding, Wei Qing knows that he may not be able to beat Liu Che even if he is, but Wei Qing knows that Liu Che's strength lies not in his personal martial arts, but in his thoughts and wisdom.

However, it was precisely thinking of this that Wei Qing was even more worried.

Your Majesty's actions today are crazy.

Liu Che, who has become more and more calm in the past two years, has rarely acted impulsively, and his control over his temperament has also reached a considerable height. In the eyes of everyone, His Majesty, who is only twenty-seven years old now, has become more and more qualified as a saint and a king.

He has great talents, so he can make the county and the country filial piety and call the virtuous at the beginning of his reign; He has courage, so he can make Wei Qing kill Du Wei with a sword and seize the power of the army soon after he ascends the throne; At the same time, he is also resilient, so he can take the initiative to live in Shanglin Yuan to train the Yulin Army when his throne is not stable......

And now, Liu Che, who has become more and more sophisticated, is resolute, courageous, and shrewd, so Wei Qing thinks that his majesty is probably not much more than his first emperor Qin Shi Huang.

Therefore, Wei Qing is particularly worried today.

He knew that something extremely important must have happened that would stimulate His Majesty to go to the Forest Garden to hunt today.

Although on the face of it, there is nothing wrong with this safari.

Last night, a military report came from the border county.

This is the only news that Wei Qing has heard so far that may be the trigger.

……

After a whole morning, Liu Che finally stopped.

Everyone was secretly relieved.

Today's Your Majesty is too oppressive.

Liu Che calmly beckoned Yu Lin to use the fruits of his hunting today as lunch, then sat down on the side, and then beckoned Wei Qing over.

"Sit." Liu Che sat on the ground casually, pointed to the position beside him, and gestured to Wei Qing.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Wei Qing cautiously went over and sat down, but he didn't dare to say more.

The reason why Wei Qing was cautious was not because he was timid, nor because Wei Qing and Liu Che were not close enough, but because of his body's instinctive reaction, he could only do so.

When His Majesty is peaceful, people will think that he is very kind, and he can even make some innocuous jokes at will, but when the violent aura on His Majesty's body is emitted intentionally or unintentionally, no one can look at it directly, like an invisible mountain, pressing on himself, making him easily unable to move.

"Wei Qing, your kid has a good eye." Liu Che smoothed the hem of his clothes, and a casual smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. This smile, but no one will feel very friendly. It's a kind of unruly smile. Nothing to do with untaming.

"Wei Qing doesn't know what Your Majesty means." Wei Qing bowed his head slightly and said respectfully.

Liu Che's gaze fell on Sergeant Yulin, who was preparing to barbecue, his expression was still the same, and he asked a seemingly unrelated question, "If I give you 2,000 cavalry and let you go deep into the desert to attack the Xiongnu, do you dare?" ”

Liu Che looked at Wei Qing and asked, do you dare?

"Your Majesty ordered, the minister will never give up!" Wei Qing was shocked, and at this time, he finally faintly realized something in his heart, which made him have to be solemn.

"You dare. But can you win? Liu Che said, "How much victory can you achieve?" ”

Liu Che's tone was a little coercive, but there was no dissatisfaction or suspicion. That's just what he asked.

"Your Majesty......" Wei Qing leaned down, not knowing what to answer for a while.

Liu Che waved his hand, "Get up, I don't mean anything special." ”

"Leading the two thousand cavalry who have only been trained for less than half a year, they dare to cross the Great Wall and go deep into the desert to raid the rear of the Huns, this kid, has he eaten the heart of a bear and a leopard?" Liu Che retracted his gaze, but his tone suddenly relaxed, as if he found it interesting, "Where did he get the confidence to be able to do such an unprecedented thing?" ”

"Doesn't he know that if he is defeated, it will be more than just the lives of two thousand sergeants?"

Liu Che used interrogative sentences, but where was the slightest hint of doubt in his tone?

He seems to be just stating a fact.

Wei Qing listened to Liu Che's words and already realized something. Of course, how could he not understand the meaning of Liu Che's words?

Isn't it true that Your Majesty has made these preparations over the years just to one day be able to go north to the desert to defeat the Huns?

Where His Majesty is asking others, he is clearly asking himself.

Liu Che handed a military report to Wei Qing, "Take a look." Ueya-gun's victory this time was not small. ”

Wei Qing's slightly trembling hand respectfully took the military report, his eyes swept roughly, and he was immediately speechless in shock.

"More than 3,500 Han cavalry went out of Qiansang City to meet the invading Hun cavalry of tens of thousands of people. The battle lasted more than 20 days, and more than 5,000 people were beheaded. Yes, the hussar captain Qin Cheng led the cavalry new battalion of 2,000 sergeants, crossed the Great Wall to the north for 800 miles, went deep into the desert, attacked the Xiongnu poplar tribe, beheaded nearly a thousand, and then met with the pursuers, beheaded more than 1,000, and returned with a great victory. Later, he joined forces with Li Guang to defeat 3,000 Hun horsemen and behead more than 1,000 ...... At the beginning and end of this battle, the casualties of the defenders of the upper valley were only more than 1,000 ......"

What kind of record is this?

That's impossible!

Yes, this is Wei Qing's first reaction after seeing this battle report.

Anyone who sees this battle report will first have this thought.

But when Wei Qing read the detailed battle story in this battle report, there were only four words left in his mind: incredible!

No wonder Your Majesty behaves so abnormally today!

Now Wei Qing finally understood.

With such a record, even His Majesty was inevitably shocked.

"The hussar captain I personally sealed, and I personally approved the grant of military funds to Shanggu, and in less than half a year, the reward given to me did not disappoint me." After Wei Qing finished reading the battle report, Liu Che gave a summary comment.

Wei Qing couldn't help but shout bitterly in his heart, such a big record, he only changed His Majesty's six words "did not disappoint me"? What you did, Your Majesty, the former is just a mouthful, and the latter, it is simply a compensatory award given because of the serious losses after the defeat of the Huns in Shanggu County last time!

However, Wei Qing calmed down after a while.

Your Majesty, of course, can only say that. Otherwise, what could he say? Your Majesty is no matter how happy he is, he will not behave in words.

"Your Majesty, what is said in this battle report, light cavalry and heavy cavalry, but the minister has never heard of it before......" Wei Qing handed the battle report back to Liu Che.

Liu Che nodded, "The reason why Shanggu County was able to win this big victory this time, in addition to Li Guang and Qin Cheng's proper command and unexpected tactics, the biggest reliance is on this distinction between light and heavy horses, looking at this battle report, it can be said that without this so-called light and heavy cavalry, it would be impossible to have this big victory." That's why I'm going to tell you about it today. ”

At this time, Yu Linjun had already finished the barbecue, Liu Che walked over and cut a few pieces of meat by himself, and discussed the matter of Shanggu County with Wei Qing while eating.
