Chapter 257: Returning to Afang Palace
The Red and Green Family State has two masters. This is probably something that all those who have paid attention to the red and green family states will not think of at all, and it is also unimaginable. Moreover, there is no difference between these two masters, let alone primary and secondary, and they can be the masters of the red and green states to deal with the things related to the regular operation of the red and green states.
Because these two people are sisters-in-law, Wu Zhuang's two daughters. Wu Qitong, Wu Qilan. The two of them are also the noble daughters of the Wu clan of the Zhao State clan, of course, this noble girl is only the name of the Wu clan who was found after Wu Jian founded the red and green family state.
When Wu Ji was alive, he never recognized it. Even if Wu Ji died, Wu Qilan also did not recognize the name of this noble daughter of the Wu family.
It is hard for Hu Hai to imagine how the red and green family with two masters got to where it is today. Wouldn't the two sisters have a disagreement because of their usual business? Don't worry about changing the day?
For example, if Great Qin has two emperors, won't this be messy?
But the fact is that the red and green family states are still running smoothly, or they are still rapidly accumulating the money of the top part of the whole world, and there is a tendency to be steaming, and branches are opened all over the Guanzhong and outside, which cannot but be said to be an outlier.
Wu Qilan, who was detained by Long Wei and returned to Xianyang, is the younger sister, and Wu Qitong is the older sister.
The two hostesses of the red and green family, Wu Qilan is actually not in the red and green family most of the time, but more often stays in the manor of Linzi or travels the world, and by the way, she looks for beauties from all over the world to enrich the red and green family. It has always been Wu Qitong who has really stayed in the red and green family.
The reason why Wu Qilan rarely stays in the red and green family is because of the contradiction with her sister's concept. Wu Qilan was deeply influenced by Wu Pin, and did not have any good impression of the Wu clan of Zhao Guo, Wu Pai was expelled by the Wu clan himself, but later saw that Wu Pai was dressed in brocade but licked his face and glued up, such a Wu clan would only make Wu Pai more despised.
However, when Wu Pai was alive, although Wu Qitong was not too cold to the Wu family, he was definitely not enthusiastic, and everything began to be exposed after Wu Pai passed away and instructed the two sisters to manage the red and green family well. Wu Qitong died in Wu Pai only three months ago, and he got in touch with the remnants of the Wu clan who fled everywhere in Zhao State.
After repeated persuasions, Wu Qilan finally died of that heart. Except for the occasional trip to the red and green family to check the accounts, most of the rest of the time is to travel the mountains and rivers and collect all kinds of beauties.
Fortunately, although Wu Qitong is a little ambitious, she knows that her sister is very smart about business, and many of the real business decisions in the red and green family are thought out by Wu Qilan.
Of course, Wu Qilan naturally did not mention these things in her confession.
And when Long Wei seized the red and green family states in Handan, it happened to be the time when Wu Qilan went from Linzi to Handan to check the accounts. At that time of every month, as long as Wu Qilan is in Linzi or Handan, she will go to the red and green family.
Wu Qilan's confession is not so much like a confession, but more like a special purpose for herself to get rid of her involvement and clear her name.
Regardless of whether what Wu Qilan said was true or not, at least it successfully aroused Hu Hai's curiosity, what does Wu Ji have to do with the First Emperor? Does the red and green family have anything to do with Zhao Gao? Is there really such a person as Wu Qitong? If there is, then it seems that Zhao Xie's disappearance and the matter of Jixia School Palace have been raised.
In fact, the real reason why Hu Hai decided to summon Wu Qilan was that he wanted to know whether Wu Qilan and the so-called Wu Qitong were the daughter of the First Emperor.
The place where Hu Hai summoned Wu Qilan was the Xianyang Palace Council. In this summons, there were only two people, Hu Hai and Wu Qilan. No one knows what the emperor talked about with Wu Qilan, the only thing he knows is that after Wu Qilan came out of Xianyang Palace, except for a few people from the Red and Green Family State, who were still imprisoned in Xianyang Prison, the rest of them were secretly sent to the confiscated Red and Green Family State by Long Wei.
The next day, all the soldiers of the lieutenant's mansion guarding the red and green family state were withdrawn, and then the news spread that the red and green family state was about to reopen for business.
After the people of the red and green family were released, the Longwei Mansion once again dispatched two lieutenants, Long Wei, to secretly leave Xianyang and rush to Linzi. This time, it was the one who led the team to win two, and the one who won the first was second only to the one in the dragon guard.
"The last general will see Your Majesty!" A shout sounded in Hu Hai's ears, pulling Hu Hai, who was out of the world, back.
Hearing this voice, Hu Hai looked up and found that he had unknowingly come to Afang Palace.
The ambition of the Xiongnu barbarians to invade Jiuyuan in the south was completely shattered because of the defection of the Donghu people, which not only did not pose any threat to Daqin, but instead put the confidence of Mao Dun in a predicament, and even gave Daqin an opportunity to solve the Xiongnu barbarians who had been invading Daqin in the northern frontier of Daqin.
Since Jiuyuan is fine, Hu Hai's heart that has been carrying it has finally been relaxed, and with the more than 70,000 Vermilion Bird Army of Meng Tian and Wang Gan and the more than 200,000 Donghu people who have joined Great Qin, he doesn't have to worry about the war in Jiuyuan at all, as long as he waits for the result with peace of mind. With such a big advantage, if Meng Tian still can't fight this battle, he is not worthy of being called a famous general in the world.
So today, when the red and green family reopens, Hu Hai will think about going out of the palace to have a look. Concubine Li was originally going to come out with her, but although her body recovered very well, the cough problem was still not solved.
Now that the weather is getting cooler, Concubine Li finally continued to stay in the palace to recuperate at the suggestion of Bianyu, and even accompanied Concubine Li to stay in the palace with Yu Ji. But this is just right, Concubine Li and Yu Ji, no matter who follows Hu Hai, Hu Hai doesn't have to disguise at all. The figures and appearances of the two of them are all at the level of calamity, and even coarse linen clothes can't cover it.
"Get up. I'm just going to take a look! Hu Hai looked at his clothes and waved his hand casually. Since he had already come to Afang Palace, he had nothing to do today anyway, so he wanted to go in and see what happened to Zhao Xuan and the others.
Because of the matter of the Xiongnu going south, since the last time he came to Afang Palace to send Zhaoxuan's daughter back and announced the settlement of the matter of the beauties of the Six Kingdoms, Hu Hai basically did not pay attention to Afang Palace anymore. Hu Hai only wanted to ride when he arrived at Afang Palace at this moment, these concubines and princesses of the Six Kingdoms have always been clothed in brocade and jade, and the concubines of the Six Kingdoms who have become accustomed to brocade and food will starve to death if they lose the supply of Daqin.
And without Hu Hai's order, not everyone can enter Afang Palace, and the same is true for Long Wei. After all, the beauties of the Six Kingdoms were all forbidden by His Majesty the Emperor before.
"Whoa!"
Although Hu Hai's burlap clothes surprised the soldiers guarding Afang Palace, they still remembered the appearance of His Majesty the Emperor who had been to Afang Palace countless times, not to mention that as early as when Hu Hai did not arrive at the door, there were already soldiers who wanted to come to stop the dragon guards who were guarded and blocked back.
Looking at the young emperor dressed in burlap clothes with his hands behind his back and slowly walking into the splendid Afang Palace, all the soldiers guarding the Afang Palace had a sense of absurdity. His Majesty the Emperor today can't use common sense.
…… Looking at the Hun cavalry fleeing in all directions, Wang Gan's heart flashed a trace of helplessness.
The Hun cavalry had more than 10,000 people than the Suzaku Army, and it was not difficult for the Suzaku Army to defeat them, but if they wanted to annihilate them like the previous Hun cavalry of more than 10,000 people, it was obviously not something that could be completed in a while. Not to mention that the Huns in front of them don't seem to be ordinarily small.
As soon as he took over the battle with the Suzaku Army, it was not time for tea, so they pulled out their horses and ran. And it's fleeing everywhere in all directions. Although the Vermilion Bird Army can fight again, no matter whether the men and horses have not rested well, they will soon return to the direction of Jiuyuan to meet with Meng Tian, if they are desperate to chase and kill these Hun cavalry scurrying everywhere in all directions at this time, it will not only delay the time of convergence, but also greatly increase the burden of war horses and soldiers.
Seeing that he could no longer stop the fleeing Hun cavalry, Wang Gan had no choice but to withdraw his troops and begin to clean up the battlefield and bury the pot to cook. After eating, the whole army was about to return to Jiuyuan and rush to join Meng Tian.
In a short battle, the Hun cavalry left more than 5,000 corpses and more than 3,000 intact war horses, if you add the more than 5,000 intact war horses sent by the Hun cavalry that were completely annihilated before, Wang Gan's 20,000 Suzaku army has completely vacated nearly 10,000 war horses, which is also Wang Gan's decision to defeat this force of more than 30,000 Hun cavalry first.
The Huns have war horses. The captured war horses of the Huns, although there were no horseshoes on the horseshoe, but they were able to relieve the fatigue of the war horses of the Suzaku Army at a critical time and provide horses for the Suzaku Army to transfer.
At the same time, more than 300 Daqin women who were also naked and ravaged were also discovered. But these women are already corpses. Before escaping, the Xiongnu barbarians used feather arrows to shoot all the more than 300 Great Qin women.
More than 300 Qin women mean that at least more than 300 families of Great Qin people have been looted by the Xiongnu barbarians, with the murderous surnames of the Xiongnu barbarians, those old and weak, children and men, do not need to think about it to know their fate.
The Xiongnu barbarians owed another blood debt to Great Qin.
Wang Gan and the Suzaku soldiers silently buried more than 300 Daqin women on the grassland, but they wrote down this blood debt in their hearts. After Wang Gan was ordered to lead the army to take the Xiongnu holy land of Wolf Juxu Mountain, countless Xiongnu barbarians were slaughtered everywhere he passed, and blood flowed like a river. This blood passage began from the north of Yinshan Mountain and continued to the Xiongnu Holy Land of Wolf Juxu Mountain.
Even the 100,000 Donghu people who went to Wolf Juxu Mountain with Wang Qian talked about the king's change of color in the next few decades, which directly caused the Donghu people, who were somewhat capricious and wanted to use the hand of Great Qin to break away from the Huns, completely extinguished their thoughts of rebelling against Great Qin, and were slowly integrated by Great Qin.
