Han Yi frowned, since the time of Emperor Wu of the former Han Dynasty, because the uncastrated war horses were wild and untamable, Emperor Wu was injured. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info So since then, most of the war horses in the Central Plains have been castrated, so that for hundreds of years, the famous horse breeds in the Central Plains have gradually disappeared.

In the past 100 years, the war horses of the Han army were basically obtained from the Xianbei, Southern Xiongnu and Karasuma people in the northern desert, and the price was extremely expensive. Coupled with the strict control of the Hulu, the cavalry of the Central Plains is decreasing day by day, and it is difficult to see a huge cavalry army of more than 30,000 cavalry.

Unexpectedly, the 25,000 good horses that he dedicated to the Han Emperor were castrated in just over 20 days. Han Yi regretted a little in his heart, wasting tens of thousands of good horses and horses in vain. Fortunately, when he was sacrificing horses, Han Yi sacrificed more stallions and left more mares, otherwise, in a few decades, the Southern Huns would also have no good horses.

Han Yi didn't like this person, and waved his hand in disgust: "Okay, since you have already thanked you, then retire." ”

Ike said with a smile: "Thank you is just an excuse for Ike, and the self-recommendation is the purpose of Ike's here." ”

Han Yi sneered: "There are a lot of talents under the command of this general, but you don't need this talent who specializes in castration. So ......"

Aike was stunned for a moment, and immediately smiled and bowed: "It turns out that General Yingyang is disgusted with the villain and castrated the good horse you sacrificed, even if the villain doesn't do it, there will be someone who will do it." If General Yingyang abandoned the villain, who was a wealthy man like Guan Zhong and Sang Hong, just because of such trivial matters, the villain thought that the general was a little unwise. ”

Han Yi stood up suddenly, his face was full of anger, not to mention that Guan Zhong helped Qi Henggong to be the first hegemon in the Spring and Autumn Period, but he was a famous generation that has been passed down through the ages. It is Sang Hongyang, who is also a hero who gathered wealth to enhance the national strength of the court and made great contributions to Emperor Wu's defeat of the Xiongnu. Han Yi said angrily: "What can you do? Dare to compare yourself with Guan Zhong and Sang Hongyang? ”

Aike said with a smile: "In terms of dealing with local governance and accumulating wealth and commerce, the general is reluctant to the villain, and I am afraid that he will not be able to explain it to the general for a while, and the actual effect needs to be protracted to prove itself." The villain only asks the general now, are the Southern Huns under the support and control of the general? Is General Ying Yang interested in the whole world of this big man? ”

Han Yi's face sank, and he pressed his sword and shouted, "What kind of support?" What world? If you don't make it clear to Ben today, it will be difficult for you to give birth to this door. ”

Aike took a deep breath, his face was solemn, and he arched his hand and said: "When the villain was castrating the war horse, he suddenly thought that General Yingyang had pacified the Southern Xiongnu without spending a single soldier in the court. What is the situation of the Southern Xiongnu now, no one in the court is in Xihe County, and there is almost no way to know. ”

"And after the turn of the moon, the general gave twenty-five thousand six-foot horses worth more than two billion dollars. If Hu Chuquan Shan Yu can still support and control the tribe, why should he give this evil order to reduce the strength of the Southern Xiongnu? All kinds of indications show that the Southern Huns were actually under the support and control of General Yingyang, and Hu Chuquan was no more than a puppet. ”

"Since the Southern Huns are in the palm of their hands, the military affairs will be in the hands of the general, so that the general will have at least 50,000 or more cavalry. There are so many soldiers and horses in hand, and very few are loyal. Xihe County is close to Hedong County and Henan County, and 50,000 light horsemen can reach the outside of Luoyang City in a few days. And the 3,000 iron horsemen outside the city became the first to take the gate. The thousands of scholars in the camp were the scribes who pacified the various states under the division. ”

The more Aiko said, the brighter his expression became, "It can be seen that the general wants to change the sky, but it is just a gesture." And the general's loyal sacrifice of horses, in Ke's view, has become a clever way to paralyze the court. I don't know if the general's plan will be implemented, but if it does, I know that I can't avoid the chaos in Luoyang, and only by defecting to the general can I get the most out of it......"

Han Yi snorted coldly, put away his sword and said: "You are indeed very smart, you can guess from a little clue that the Southern Huns are all under my control." ”

Aiko smiled and thanked him. Han Yi said again: "It's just that you are too smart, and you think too badly of others; Thinking that if others have a large number of soldiers and horses in hand, they will inevitably start a rebellion. But it's too simple to think of people, do you know that Han can't be loyal to the court? ”

Aike was speechless, and he didn't know Han Yi's sincerity, so he could only bow his head and beg for forgiveness.

Han Yi stared at Aike coldly for a while, and then said for a long time: "Your mind is extremely unkind, but it is not a great evil, it can only be regarded as a speculative move by a businessman. If this statement spreads in Luoyang City, I am afraid that it will be reversed. I can't let you stay in Luoyang City, so let's go to Xihe County with me. Look at how clever you are at claiming to be comparable to Guan Zhong and Sang Hongyang's ability to collect money. ”

Echo was overjoyed when he heard this, and the result was not too bad. Regardless of whether Han Yi has any objections or not, as long as the Southern Huns are in hand and tens of thousands of sudden horsemen are in their hands, the Han clan basically has no possibility of defeat, and it is okay to surrender at this time.

Han Yisi has been in Luoyang for a long time, and the three thousand iron horsemen outside the city have been here for a long time, so it is better to leave early for fear of being jealous. So he went to the court on the same day, saying that he would return to Xihe County in Bingzhou to take up his post as governor. After getting the consent of the court, Han Yi prepared to leave early the next morning.

Late at night, Yang Li came to meet him and said: "Yang is good at assassin skills, but in the hands of General Yingyang, it seems that there is no use. ”

Han Yi was a little reluctant, so he said: "Han doesn't like the way of assassins very much, but Yang Jun has to do the way of assassins?" ”

Yang Li was stunned for a moment and asked, "Does the general think Yang can still be good at doing other things?" ”

Han Yi nodded and said, "That's right, such as lurking in one place and probing secrets." Or collect intelligence from all sides and analyze the enemy situation for me. Or training swordsmen, acting as siege soldiers, etc., is not more useful than a single assassin? ”

Yang Li smiled bitterly: "Yang learned the way of assassins, that is, he wanted to emulate the ancient assassins such as Zhuzhu, Yu Rang, Yaoli, Nie Zheng, Jing Ke and other ancient assassins who were famous all over the world. And these things that the general said are hardly famous all over the world......"

Han Yi said with a smile: "Since the first Qin Emperor unified the world, there have been fewer and fewer assassins to assassinate dignitaries, and more administrative disputes in the court. It can be said that the Assassins are no longer useful at this time. Have you ever heard that in the three hundred years since the Han Dynasty, there was no Assassin who could compare to the Assassins of the Ancients? ”

Yang Li thought about it carefully and shook his head, it seems that there are really few people who can be called famous. Han Yi said again: "However, when Zhang Zifang was young, he was just an assassin who was bent on seeking revenge on the First Emperor. Then he changed from the identity of an assassin to the founding strategist of Emperor Gaozu, which can be famous all over the world. Assassins, but only brave men; A strategist is a good talent who is truly praised by the world. ”

Yang Li worshipped and said: "Yang is not talented, I can only try to see if there is any possibility of change." ”

Early in the morning of the second day, Han Yi bid farewell to He Miao, led the troops to Hedong, and prepared to return to Xihe. The white wave thieves who confronted Ding Yuanjun fled when they heard the wind and fled back to Luliang Mountain. Ding Yuan was embarrassed when he saw it, so he sent his subordinate general Mu Shun and invited Han Yi to Wenxi for a while.

Ding Yuan and Han Yi feasted in Wenxi County, and were accompanied by henchmen Miao Shang, Xue Hong, Hao Meng, and Mu Shun. Ding Yuan toasted and said: "Before, it was the order of the court and the princes of the court that did not let the state army help Han Yingyang, and it was not Ding's original intention, and I hope Han Yingyang will forgive me." ”

Han Yi hurriedly took it and said with a smile: "How dare you, how dare you, the conquest of the Southern Xiongnu has no chance of winning, and it is normal for the court to have reservations." How dare Yi blame Jianyang Gong. Yi was only heartbroken by the death of his beloved wife, and he was angry, and he was bent on seeking revenge from the Southern Huns. At this time, thinking of the might of the rebels at that time, it was easy to return the fear. ”

Ding Yuan laughed and said: "If there is no anger for that moment, how can the Southern Huns rejoin my Han, and how can there be today's Han Yingyang in the world?" Han Ying values love and righteousness, and avenges his beloved wife, Ding is deeply admired, come, Ding will give you a drink. ”

Miao Shang, Xue Hong, Hao Meng, Mu Shun and others praised one after another, but Han Yi was helpless and only drank the wine that Ding Yuan toasted.

Ding Yuan said again: "Han Yingyang's revenge for his wife and the suppression of the Southern Xiongnu have been widely circulated in Bingzhou in recent months. I don't know how many women from big families admire Han Yingyang and are willing to marry Han Yingyang with a broom. ”

Han Yi smiled slightly and said: "As soon as Ying'er dies, Yi will have no heart to remarry, even if there are thousands of women, Yi will not have a heart to love." ”

Ding Yuan shook his head and persuaded: "Han Yingyang is young, how can he ignore other women in the world because of his deep affection for his deceased wife. You must know that there is no wife in the family, the house is restless, and the children and grandchildren have no education, which is the face of family failure. I heard that your sister-in-law Han Wang has no biological mother to take care of, and only the concubine takes care of it? How dare a concubine control too much, it will be difficult to become a talent when she becomes an adult, so ......"

Ding Yuan's preaching moved Han Yi's heart. There is no other elder in the world who can persuade himself so purely, and only Ding Yuan can do this. What Ding Yuan said is not bad, Qing'er and Ru'er are soft, and Anova is irritable, and they are not good candidates to raise Han Wang.

At this time, Han Wang was still young and had nothing else to do, but he always had to grow up one day. And it will be difficult for me to have free time for discipline in the future, so it seems that it is time to find a good wife to raise in advance and cultivate feelings.

Han Yi bowed his hand and said, "Is Jianyang Gong going to be a matchmaker with Han Yi?" If this woman's temperament is not bad, it is easy to respond. ”

Ding Yuan's face turned red, and after listening to it, he stroked his beard and laughed, and said, "The old man has this intention." The old man had an old friend, who gave up writing and engaged in business for some reason, and died of a sudden illness a month ago, leaving only an only daughter. The old man took pity on her, so he accepted her as a righteous daughter. Because she has always admired Mingyuan, the old man cheekily recommended one or two to Mingyuan. Her family background is low, but she doesn't dare to ask for the position of a wife, and she can get Mingyuan's love and pity, so she is full of heart. ”

Han Yi said with a smile: "To be able to get the mercy of the Duke of Jianyang and the state assassin history, and accept her as a righteous daughter, her family background is not cheap." Han Yi is a cheap family, how dare he dislike her. Gong Jianyang can invite her to come and see her, if she has a good temperament, she can accept it. ”

When a plain-clothed girl with a jade face like snow, a graceful figure, and a sad face walked into the hall, Han Yi's mind was suddenly like a lightning strike, and he was stunned. But it turned out to be her.
