In the suburbs of Qing, by the ancient road, the ten-mile long pavilion, the grass is still around, and some people set off from here.

But I don't know who will break the separation of life and death. Talking and laughing about chess, the deacons should have no regrets, and ask if you can afford to lose this game?

In this life, the north, the south, the east and the west, are destined to fate several times, and the sky also listens to me turn against me! Waving his sleeves and breaking the dust of the past, the history book of Qianqiu has been written.

On the edge of the lush forest, the young man in Tsing Yi silently looked at the pair of beautiful people, next to the bamboo in front of the restaurant, who waved the cloth banner that had splashed ink and moved in the wind, and the aroma of wine was like aging over the years.

Sima Xiangru brushed away the tears from the corners of his wife's eyes, hugged her gently, and thousands of exhortations had already been said, at this moment, tenderness and pride coexisted in his heart.

He is a great talent, and over the years, he has been running around, always with green eyebrows, unopened robes, and he is depressed and unwilling in his heart. Today I finally have the opportunity to show it, and I am full of ambition and self-explanatory.

Wen Jun had already put everything in order for him, and tied a peace charm with a red rope to his chest, although he was a little worried, but he also knew that his trip this time was different from before, and of course he couldn't be that little girl and drag him back.

If you have a wife like this, what regrets do you have! After all the preparations, Sima Xiangru got rid of his gentle feelings, and when he turned around, the young man who was waiting in the shade of a tree not far away had a smile on his face as bright as the sun.

After the banquet in Chang'an City yesterday, the final army and Yan Zhu had already got up separately, and under the escort of the imperial court attaché, they each started their own journey.

In Yuan Zhao's cognition, Yan Zhu is a very capable person. Don't look at him as a scholar on the outside, but this person is very stoic and resolute in his heart, and he is a person who does great things. Therefore, there is no need to worry about him.

What made him most uneasy was the final army that went to South Vietnam.

In the world, the world is changeable, it is rare to be satisfied, God is the most jealous of talents, regrets to die young, and there are many things.

Therefore, Yuan Zhao told him carefully, so that he must pay attention to the changes in the domestic situation in South Vietnam, and once any danger occurs, protecting his own safety is the most important thing.

Later, he was still not at ease after all, and called Cui Hong to his side again. This time, it is necessary to send some of your own people to follow. Far away in the south, maybe there are some special surprises that will be brought back!

Cui Hong, who fully understood Yuan Zhao's intentions, was very excited, and the master's willingness to hand over such an important task to himself to complete showed that his diligence had been recognized by him. He immediately made a promise that while protecting the safety of the envoys, he would bring back all the things that the master needed.

Yuan Zhao patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction, Cui Hong's work has now become more and more reassuring to him. One of the reasons why I suddenly remembered to let him go with him this time was to let him follow to protect the final army, and another reason was to take the opportunity to temper him more.

The formation of a treasure knife requires a whetstone to be sharpened again and again in order to become a god soldier of a hundred battles! He has high hopes for Cui Hong, and he is also looking forward to the secret force that has just formed.

Yes! There is nothing wrong with it, Yuan Zhao now has a secret force in his hands. The ones in charge are Zhao Yuan and Cui Hong, and the backbone is from the original Liuyun Gang who can fight for them. This secret is known only to very few people.

Of course, this force is still very thin, but Yuan Zhao is confident that with time and opportunity, he will definitely be able to build them into the kind of force he wants.

Therefore, when the final army set off, Cui Hong took a team of more than ten people, pretended to be his personal entourage, and went south together.

Compared with Southwest Yi, Yuan Zhao's plan is different from those two.

After the court meeting was concluded yesterday, he asked the emperor for a separate decree, asking His Majesty the emperor for permission to give Sima Xiangru, the envoy of the imperial mission, the right to make a decision on the spot and act cheaply.

Liu Che remembered the dish he had eaten, and naturally knew what kind of Xiao Jiujiu he was fighting in his heart. If Yuan Zhao can really use the resources of Southwest Yi to make a large amount of that kind of white sugar, then give him the power and let him toss it!

Therefore, without hesitation, the emperor agreed to this request.

"Put down the rebellion, get all the good things to Chang'an, I don't care what means you use! Ha ha! These were Emperor Liu Che's original words, and although he said them in a joking tone this time, Yuan Zhao believed that such words would become a mantra for him in the future.

Because, the military might of the Han Dynasty is just beginning now!

"Wenjun, Brother Yuan, Changqing is going now, don't worry about it, I will definitely achieve perfection after this. Party worth the trip! ”

The business of the Qingjiao restaurant has now expanded a lot, and the Zhuo family has also sent many people to help. There is also Yuan Zhao to take care of it, and he doesn't need to worry about it at all.

Yuan Zhao gave him the green-maned horse he rode every day, this is a purebred grassland horse, fat and strong, with excellent endurance, which was transported by Nie Yi from the north, which is rare in the Central Plains.

Sima Xiangru took the reins, reached out and stroked a handful of smooth fur, and praised a good horse! saw Yuan Zhao hand over a sword again.

The sheath is simple and simple, and the box is hidden and sharp, which is one of the famous swords of the Spring and Autumn Period, "Bath Snow"! Sima Xiangru was originally a person with all-round talents in civil and military affairs, and he was also obsessed with famous swords in the world like ordinary martial arts practitioners.

When he was on Changle Plateau, he also carefully appreciated those swords, especially this bath snow sword, but he didn't expect that when he was on his expedition today, Yuan Zhao would give it to him. Even an open-minded person like him is already very moved in his heart.

"Brother Yuan, deep friendship has been remembered. If you say anything superfluous, Changqing won't say anything. Come on, everyone, drink this glass of wine and take your leave! ”

Sima Xiangru raised the cup of send-off wine in his hand, greeted him in a half circle, and then drank it all in one fell swoop, with a dashing demeanor.

There is a majestic sound on the side of the road, the weapon strikes, the armor sounds lightly, the pulp and wine are poured, the entrance is like a note, and the momentum is very heroic!

Three hundred horsemen of the cavalry battalion, draped all over their bodies, with high heads and horses, complete with swords, and a hand slanted behind their shoulders is the magic weapon that has just been equipped in the army ~ nine-armed chain crossbow!

The elite of the 300 cavalry battalion led by Su Jian, under the order of the little marquis, was about to follow the Qin envoy to the southwest to quell the rebellion.

This will be the first time that the nine-armed chain crossbow has officially appeared on the battlefield, although the number is not large, but for those small tribal countries in the southwest Yi, as long as Sima Xiangru arrives there and collects some of the defenders stationed in the land of Bashu, plus the elite of the three hundred cavalry battalions, it is enough!

Yuan Zhao knew in his heart that these small countries in the southwest were located in remote areas, and the people were poor, and they had always relied on the supply of the Han Dynasty to survive. The reason for this rebellion must be that someone promised them great benefits, and they forgot what was righteous, so they did such an act.

To deal with these barbarians, it is not enough to only talk about benevolence and righteousness, and it is not feasible to rely solely on force to suppress them, and there are countless examples in history that can be used for reference. If you want them to willingly obey the will of the Han, the most feasible way is nothing more than eight words.

"Ling Zhi is powerful, and he is tempted to benefit!"

For a long time, the question of how to deal with the barbarians of the neighboring countries has been plaguing the Han court, which has been a difficult problem for many years, and in the eyes of the emperor and his ministers, this problem is very thorny, and it cannot be light, and there is no effective plan.

And in Yuan Zhao's eyes, this is not a matter at all! He has too much experience to learn from dealing with these difficult small countries.

A super-hegemonic power in later generations has been very successful in this regard! Carrots and sticks, according to the national conditions of each country, differentiated treatment, obedient people will have meat to eat, disobedient people will be hanged! As a result, they were all made obedient and had to act on their noses.

In the future, if the Han Empire takes this path in foreign relations, can it be? Yuan Zhao has long wanted to test it, and this is a good opportunity.

After being stationed on Changle Plateau for so long, and practicing every day under the command of Wei Qing, the cavalry of the 800 Xiao Cavalry Battalion has long been different. Especially in the past six months, when the little marquis is free, he will often go to the camp to give guidance and teach some new tactical tactics, which has benefited everyone a lot. After the last trip to the north and the small-scale contact and competition with the Huns, the original fear of the Huns has long been transformed into a surging war spirit.

With new tactics, elite weapons, a good mental outlook, and a desire to make meritorious contributions, Yuan Zhao is confident that even if there are only 300 people in such a team, ten times the enemy is not to be feared!

Sima Xiangru stepped on the war horse, raised his hand, did not look back, and walked away in the crowd of three hundred elite horsemen. The horse's hooves kicked up a cloud of smoke and cut off the view.

Do your best! There are adversities behind him, there are confidants who have forgotten their years, and the faith in their chests is like a tiger, between fish and dragons, all in this trip!

Those who traveled far away are gone, with entrustment, with anticipation, and with a temporarily unpredictable future.

The willow branches of farewell are broken, the sound of the flute is gone, looking back at the thousands of splendid places, the majestic palace, still the Han Dynasty Chang'an ......!

"Brother Yuan, do you want to go back to Chang'an or Changleyuan?"

The woman in the red gauze skirt was as gentle as when she first saw her, and the young man in front of her, in her heart, was the same weight as her younger brother Zhuo Yu.

"Sister, there are a lot of things going on in Changle Plateau, so I still stay over there. What's wrong? Is there something going on? ”

Seeing Wen Jun's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Yuan Zhao felt a little strange. Her personality has always been bold, and I don't know why she is a little twisted today.

Wen Jun's face suddenly flushed, but after looking at this young man who she felt inexplicably close to when she first saw him, she pursed her lips and still opened her mouth.

"Hehe, it's not a big deal, it's just that I always feel a little tired lately, tired and sleepy, hard to endure in summer, and I don't have an appetite for anything. Changqing was ordered to travel far away, and after returning from Chang'an, I was afraid that he would be distracted, so I didn't tell him. Since you know how to use medicine, can you give Sister Ah a few pairs of herbs to relieve the heat? ”

What kind of big deal is this, in Yuan Zhao's opinion, it is just a common heat illness in summer, small meaning, with two flavors of licorice, just boil some green plum soup and drink.

Wen Jun listened to what he said simply, and put his mind at ease, he was a fiery physique, although the summer of previous years was also a little difficult, but it was not the same taste as recently. She was worried about some inexplicable disease for a while, and she was still a little apprehensive in her heart. But since Yuan Zhao said that it was okay, then it must be okay.

In line with the attitude of attaching importance to this sister she respected, Yuan Zhao asked her to stretch out her hand, gently put two fingers on the veins on her wrist, and calmly examined it.

Wen Jun is only twenty-five or sixteen years old this year, his wrists are white, smooth and delicate, Yuan Zhao's fingertips touch, but there is no thought, he feels the pulse beating, and after a while, a somewhat strange look suddenly appeared on his face.

"What's wrong?"

Although he regarded Yuan Zhao as his own brother, he was a man after all, and Wen Jun still felt a little embarrassed when his wrist was held by him.

Yuan Zhao didn't know what to say, he was afraid that the diagnosis would be wrong, so he hurriedly touched the pulse again, regardless of the expression on Wen Jun's face, after a long time, he could be sure that he was definitely not mistaken!

Wen Jun's face was flushed, if it weren't for his serious appearance, she would almost think that this bastard was taking the opportunity to belittle herself!

As if feeling the shame in those beautiful eyes, Yuan Zhao scratched his head a little embarrassed, how to say this!

"Brother Yuan, what's wrong? Could it be ......?" Seeing that he was a little distracted, Wen Jun calmed down and stared into his eyes and asked.

"Huh? No no...... Sister, don't think about it, it's not a disease, it's a ...... You're happy! Hey. ”

What the! Wen Jun thought that he had misheard, his eyes were a little glazed, and only after half a sound did he realize what he meant. Surprised, he grabbed Yuan Zhao's hand, and his voice trembled with urgency.

"Brother Yuan! You—You're really not mistaken? Sister is really ...... It's really ....... Before he finished speaking, he cried with joy.

Yuan Zhao nodded again and again beside him, relieved from the bottom of his heart, and secretly happy for them.

"Sister rest assured, this matter should be certain. Ha ha! Great, when it comes to the triumphant day of Brother Changqing, there will be double happiness, and at that time, the little brother will have a good celebration for you! ”

Wen Jun listened to what he said, he had always trusted him, and he had no doubts at the moment. For a while, I only felt that the world was wide and life was infinitely beautiful, and the melancholy that had just happened after saying goodbye to Sima Xiangru had long since disappeared without a trace. Now all that is left is joy and gratitude.

I have been waiting for him for so many years, and finally waited for the reward, and he came so richly, he finally began to travel thousands of miles, and he also condensed the crystallization of love for him.

And all this good luck starts with getting to know the boy in front of you. That thunderstorm afternoon, that ragged child, that bowl of thin wine .......

"Brother Yuan, promise Sister one thing, this good news, don't send someone to tell Changqing first, he has a heavy responsibility, don't let him be distracted, wait until ...... When he is successful, let him taste this surprise again! ”

Yuan Zhao naturally nodded in agreement. saw that she gently brushed off a fallen leaf on her shoulder with her hand, and her voice was grateful: "Sister knows that you are a grateful person, and in this world, meeting you is really the fate of our husband and wife." Sister knows that you will be a great character in the future, and I just hope that you will not forget our love today. Promise Sister one thing, if this child will be a boy, please take him under the door, okay? ”

Yuan Zhao didn't hesitate at all, nodded, "As long as it's what Sister Ace orders, I will obey it!"

The grace of a drop of water will be repaid by a spring! In this utilitarian and complicated world, some people will always maintain the sincerity they saw at first sight.

Sima Xiangru and Zhuo Wenjun's children will be handed over to their own training in the future? It's still a little exciting to think about. Now the people who are following him have Cui Hong, Xiaoice, Guan Xi, and Zhuo Yu, and they each have their own qualities that they value. Yuan Zhao is very confident that after his own training, they will all achieve great success in different fields in the future.

Do you have a penchant for being a good teacher? This booked another disciple in advance. Yuan Zhao was secretly amused.

Although he is still young, this is not a problem, and now he has the ability to teach and pass on his art. As long as it is a good seedling, it will come and not refuse.

In his grand vision, if you want to do many things in the future completely according to your own ideas, in this world thousands of years ago, there will definitely be many resistances, will touch the interests of many people, will encounter many turbulent waves, and even ...... against the imperial power!

Plan ahead, lay out first! He has been preparing for this since the day he planned to step onto the political arena of the Han Dynasty.

And all this vision requires not only huge financial support, but also a large number of political allies and loyal followers.

It's time to plan ahead! Yuan Zhao is very clear about his current situation, after this incident in the court, no one treats him as an insignificant little marquis, he has been remembered by many people. Among these people, there are friends who can win in the future, and there are even opponents that they don't expect.

Politics is sinister, and people's hearts are the most unpredictable! His sharpness can make friends more convincing and make more political allies. It can also make the opponent pay more attention, and in the future, he will no longer despise his shots, but go all out. Fortune and misfortune depend on each other, and good luck and evil are unpredictable!

Yuan Zhao's estimate was not wrong at all. In Chang'an City, there are already many people secretly collecting materials about him. Once a person is taken seriously, there is no secret that can be hidden in the place of focus.

Changle Hou Yuanzhao, from his current Jane in the emperor's heart, was favored by the two palaces, began to push forward, the credit he established, the music he ascended, when he first appeared in the court, his network, how he made his fortune, before he entered Chang'an, he first began to appear in the world when he .......

Someone once said that in the world, the most feared thing is the word "serious". Even in this day and age, it is not difficult to investigate a particular person in the hands of some people with great power.

When these collected materials are transmitted to many big people. After taking a closer look at the beginning, they all had a question: "Where did this guy come from?!"

He seems to have appeared in this world out of thin air, only the way to go has not been found, and the source is ethereal! Is it really like that rumor, the first emperor Emperor Wen asked for auspiciousness from heaven?
