Xun Yu saw that Liu Ze was busy, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Kong Ming has been transferred out of the Western Regions, I don't know who can be the chief historian of the Western Regions?" ”

Liu Ze asked, "Is there a candidate for Wen Ruo?" ”

Xun Yu said: "Hua Xin, Hua Ziyu, Chen Qun, and Chen Changwen all have virtue and special talents, and they are worthy of great responsibilities. ”

Liu Ze said with a smile: "Huaxin Huazi is also the head of the dragon, honest and self-disciplined, has no money to spare, is knowledgeable, and resourceful; Chen Qun Chen Changwen is good at the rule of officials, and he is really capable. The long history of the Western Regions, the responsibility is heavy, the daily circulation of millions of silver, Ziyu is incorruptible, I think there will be Huaziyu to replace Kong Ming. ”

The emperor said so, and the candidate was quickly decided.

Hua Xin is a native of the Tang Dynasty in Pingyuan County, and under the pen of Mr. Luo Lao, he was written as a villain, forcing Emperor Han Xian to take the throne, and making great contributions to Cao Pi's usurpation. There are also a lot of anecdotes and allusions to Hua Xin, and splitting the seat is one of them. Guan Ning, Bing Yuan, and Hua Xin are a dragon, Hua Xin is the dragon's head, Bingyuan is the dragon's belly, and Guan Ning is the dragon's tail. Because Hua Xin belonged to a better person, Guan Ning cut the table and broke off his friendship with him, Hua Xin didn't care, after Cao Pi usurped the throne, Hua Xin still recommended his former friend Guan Ning. It can be seen that Hua Xin's mind is not a calculating character.

Hua Xin received the edict, he can pack his bags, and his son Hua Biao said worriedly: "My father is sixty years old, and he has traveled thousands of miles, wind, food, rain and dew, and he is very worried. ”

Hua Xin laughed and said: "Meng Degong conquered the Shan country, destroyed Tianzhu, fought Guishuang, and worked tirelessly, let alone for his father?" ”

Huabiao said: "After all, the climate in the Western Regions is special, and I am afraid that my father will not adapt to the water and soil." ”

Hua Xin said: "If you have a heart for the country, how dare you spare your life? The Western Regions is the key point of the Han Dynasty to connect foreign lands, and the responsibility is heavy, and the emperor appointed his father to serve as the chief historian, and he has a lot of trust, how can he resign from his old age? ”

Seeing that his father was resolute, Huabiao didn't dare to say any more, so he had to discuss with his mother and arrange for a few reliable family members to accompany him. Hua Xin is an honest official, his family has no money to spare, and the rewards he receives are used to help relatives and friends, so he can't afford to support many family members.

Hua Xin had few people, so he naturally cleaned up much faster, so he met Liu Ze's majesty and resigned. Liu Ze looked at Hua Xin, who was full of gray hair, and scolded in his heart, should he change to a young and powerful person to go to the Western Regions? It's just that the edict has been issued, how can the order be changed overnight, and he said at the moment: "Ziyu is old, and he is going to the Western Regions, suffering from wind and frost, and I am not at ease." I don't know where Ziyu is going, how to arrange it? ”

Hua Xin said: "The light car is simple, and there are only five or six people. ”

Liu Ze said: "I have arranged three carts for Ziyu, and I will take the car all the way to the west, so as to avoid the suffering of bumps, and the 500 guards will ensure that there is no worry about the journey." ”

Hua Xin was moved by the old tears, and said loudly: "The emperor's thoughtful courtier's heart is indescribable, only to bow down and die, in order to repay His Majesty's grace." ”

Liu Ze said: "You and other old ministers, the elite of the Han Dynasty, Meng De is seriously ill, and I am very worried; When I go to the Western Regions, everything is about taking care of my body, and I borrow more places from you. ”

Hua Xin whimpered and said: "Your Majesty's teaching is that Weichen must cherish his humble body in order to repay His Majesty. ”

Liu Ze said: "Ziyu, the importance of the Western Regions, I don't need to say much. Kong Ming went to Persia this time, and in terms of logistics, most of them relied on the Western Regions for supply. The Roman country was rich and strong, and the strategy was not a day's work. The Roman cavalry walked alone in West Asia, and the surrounding area did not dare to be restrained, and I thought about it for a long time, and if I wanted to break the Roman cavalry, I had to make a surprising strategy. I have a few drawings here, which I have recently obtained, and after Ziyu arrived in office, I made them according to the drawings and handed them over to Kong Ming for the use of the army. ”

Hua Xin took it, and when he opened it, he didn't know anything, and said with a puzzled face: "The study of organ skills has never been involved in the minister. ”

Liu Ze smiled: "Don't worry. I know that I will be a master craftsman Ma Jun, and this time the craftsman workshop will send a thousand master craftsmen to accompany him. What Ziyu has to do is to arrange manpower, keep it strictly confidential, and do not leak the news. ”

Hua Xin originally thought that he was only accompanied by more than a dozen people when he took office this time, but where did he think that the emperor would arrange such an arrangement, there were already more than 1,500 people, so many people were in a hurry, eating was the first big problem, and it seemed that there would be countless vehicles to provide logistical support.

Hua Xin said solemnly: "The minister must follow the emperor's instructions and make proper arrangements. ”

Liu Ze said: "The manpower has been arranged, if Ziyu has nothing else to do, the leader will set off." ”

What else can Hua Xin say, he said goodbye at the moment, went to the military department to receive the talisman, and went to the craftsman's workshop to find Ma Jun, and when the people gathered together, he couldn't help but be surprised, it turned out that Liu Ze arranged it very properly, five hundred soldiers, there were three hundred carts, one thousand craftsmen in the craftsman's workshop, and there were as many as five hundred carts, and the carts were full of craftsmen's tools and food.

The Han Dynasty is now stable and has an abundant treasury, which can be seen from this. Hua Xin's beard trembled excitedly, looked at the long line, waved his big hand, and said loudly: "Go!"

To make a long story short, Hua Xin stopped at Lu Fei for a day, and on this day he came to Chigu City in the Western Regions, Zhuge Liang led people to greet him from afar, and entered the city, Hua Xin and Zhuge Liang handled the delivery, Zhuge Liang said: "Mr. Ziyu, the emperor is worried about the Persian war situation, and today Mr. is coming, and Liang is about to leave." ”

Hua Xin said: "Why is Kong Ming too anxious? I have come this time, and the emperor still has secret arrangements. ”

When Zhuge Liang heard this, his eyes brightened, and he hurriedly asked, "Can Liang participate?" ”

Hua Xin smiled: "With Kong Ming's wisdom, it is not difficult to guess. ”

Zhuge Liang smiled: "I want to hear about it." ”

Hua Xin took out a few drawings handed over by Liu Ze and motioned for Zhuge Liang to open them. Who is Zhuge Liang, he was stunned the moment he opened the picture, how did the emperor think of it? Zhuge Liang prides himself on being very smart, and his wife is even smarter, but the emperor uses his brains to surpass the two of them by a large margin.

It turned out that Liu Ze saw that the purity of gunpowder was getting higher and higher, and he was secretly happy, remembering the use of gunpowder, the Han army was only used to bomb the city gate and the city, it was a pity, once it was used well, it would definitely be able to give the Roman army a big surprise, so he thought hard about the use of gunpowder in later generations, and remembered the use of grenades and mines, as long as there was gunpowder, these two weapons were still relatively easy to make, so he drew a map and let Hua Xin take it to the Western Regions.

After Zhuge Liang saw it, he knew that if the Han army had these weapons, it would definitely be like a tiger. Hua Xin saw that Zhuge Liang was stupid and motioned for him to continue reading, and Zhuge Liang woke up and looked at the second page. On this page of paper, there is an image of a big car, but this big car is different from the big car seen on weekdays, the big car usually used, the left and right boards of the car are placed to increase the volume of the car, and the big car painted by Liu Ze only erects a high wooden board on one side of the car, what can such a car do?
