Forty-seven: Cavalry and archery training is on the rise
In the summer of the sixth year of Yuanshuo, after the abolition, Chen Ajiao returned to the imperial capital Chang'an with the emperor's eldest son Liu Mo, and returned to Changmen, and everyone watched. In September of the sixth year of Yuan Shuo, he went up to Changmen and broke up unhappily. Everyone sighed that Gillian was no longer in danger of being favored.
Xuanmuro Hall
"Your Majesty, my Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu have fought several times, although they have the upper hand, but they have not completely eliminated the hidden dangers of the Xiongnu. Especially in such an area," Huo Quzhi pointed to the Hexi corridor on the military map, "threatening me to flank." I thought that within a few years, we should fight the Xiongnu again and completely expel the Xiongnu from the Hexi Corridor. ”
"Oh," Liu Che smiled, rummaged through the case at hand, and said, "Got sick and addicted to fighting this year?" ”
"But I'm telling the truth." The young man was unconvinced, "The emperor doesn't like that I have a tiger that will devour people at any time, right?" ”
Liu Che sneered and said, "You should train your Xiaoqi camp first." If you can catch up with the Qiu Ze cavalry of the Liu descendants, the next time you send troops to the Huns, I will let you lead the army. ”
"Your Majesty," Huo Quzhi smiled, revealing his white teeth. "It takes time to train the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, and I admire General Liu, so it's better for me to compete with him. If I win, how about the emperor give me the promise he just made? ”
"Oh," in the end, he is still young and bloody, and Liu Che is also a little interested. said, "Yang is proud, Xuan Changping Hou Weiqing and Changxin Hou Liuyi entered the palace. ”
Yang proudly stepped forward and said with a smile, "The emperor forgot, I ordered Changxin Hou to teach the emperor's eldest son Mo's riding and archery kung fu, it is estimated that this will, Marquis Liu is still in Bowangxuan." ”
Because the third son of the emperor Liu Hong is still young, only the eldest son of the emperor Liu Mo and the second son of the emperor Liu Ju are now trained in Bowangxuan.
"That's it," Liu Che thought for a moment and said unconcernedly, "Then let's call the two princes together." ”
"Yes." Yang bowed triumphantly and retreated.
Liu Che took Huo Qubing to the Weiyang Palace Riding Shooting Range, where Changxin Hou Liuyi and the two princes were already waiting. On the side, there is also a Yuening princess Liu Chu who relies on her brother. After a while, Hou Weiqing of Changping also arrived. Looking at the smiling Liuyi on the field, I sighed in my heart that Liuyi made a fortune in this riding shooting range back then. He looked at the two boys of the same age standing in front of Liu Yi, one of them was his nephew, and the other, he squinted his eyes and looked at the obvious bruises and scars on Liu Mo's body, was it abused by palace people in Weiyang Palace, or was this the design of the Chen family, deliberately appearing in front of the palace in this way, what kind of purpose did he achieve? But if this is the case, with Princess Yuening's unscrupulous personality, how can she not see traces of angry maintenance? After a closer look, he knew that it was wrong, and if he didn't mention anything else, at least Liu Jutou was quite in awe of his half-brother's eyes.
"Zhong Qing has also arrived." Liu Che's expression was as usual, he couldn't see any signs, and his tone was light, "I want to challenge Changxinhou when I get sick, what do you think of being an uncle?" ”
"I was young and vigorous when I was sick, and I didn't know how serious it was. But can a born calf be afraid of a tiger? If Brother Liu is willing to give some advice, Zhong Qing is grateful. Wei Qing arched his hand, smiling gently.
"What's the point of fighting and killing all day long," Liu Chu took his brother's hand and pouted.
"Hey," Liu Mo's hand shrank, Liu Chu immediately let go, and said, "Brother hurts, I'll blow it for you." After finishing speaking, he didn't forget to cast a rather resentful look at Liu Yi. Liu Yi saw it clearly, and said with a smile, "What is the boy's pain from this, when I was training and crawling, it was much more serious than this." Not to mention anything else, it's your mother and Aunt Ling, who were much more bitter than this when they were training. ”
"Liar." Liu Chu looked at him with the whites of his eyes, "What was the identity of my mother and Aunt Ling before, and they used to practice riding and shooting?" ”
"Okay," Liu Mo comforted his sister, "It's not very painful, I will feel distressed when I go back to my mother, so don't add fuel to the fire." ”
"What if you feel distressed, I won't kick you out tomorrow."
Wei Qing and Huo Quzhi glanced at each other, and they could also see that the bruises on Liu Mo's body were all abrasions from the practice of riding and shooting. It seems that although Liu Yi is Chen Ajiao's brother-in-law, he does not have much pity for this noble nephew. Even Chen Ajiao, who is a mother, is willing to endure such hardships almost as the lifeblood of the Chen family. It's also a shame that Liu Mo is a sensible child, otherwise don't complain to death. Huo Quzhi sighed, and suppressed the faint disappointment in his heart for his cousin Liu Ju, who was also regarded as the root of life by the Wei family, but he was pampered since he was a child, and was raised by his aunt in his mouth for fear of melting, and held in the palm of his hand for fear of falling, such a child, if he became the emperor of the Han Dynasty one day, he shook his head, after all, he was his cousin, and he couldn't really leave it alone.
"But Princess Yuening is still right." Liu Yi raised his head and said, "Personal battles are just the courage of a horseman, even if they win, they are not worth boasting about for you and my military personnel." ”
"Oh," Wei Qing said with a smile, "What General Liu said also makes some sense, what should the military people compare to?" ”
"Your Majesty," Liu Yi turned back and bowed, "If the emperor allows, how about I compare tactics with Captain Huo?" ”
"Since you're all interested, I'll watch the battle from the sidelines." Liu Che smiled and turned around and said, "Go to the disease, if you win, my promise will still be effective." ”
Huo Quzhi was eager to try, and said, "How to compare the law?" ”
Liu Yi smiled, summoned an attendant, and gave a few orders. The chamberlain nodded, and after a while came back with a tray filled with a lot of sand.
Liu Chu sneaked to Liu Yi's side, scratched his cheeks and said, "Shame face, Uncle Liu is so old, are you still playing with mud?" ”
In an instant, Liu Yi had an impulse, wanting to knock this pestering little girl on the head, looked at Liu Che, who was staring at him with blazing eyes, and finally suppressed the impulse. The sand and soil in the plate were built into the terrain of the Hexi Corridor, and before the construction was completed, he only heard Huo Quai's sigh, knowing that he had seen it. When he looked up, he saw Huo Quai's eyes bright, and said, "This method is good, marching and fighting, it is clear at a glance." ”
In an instant, Liu Che and Wei Qing also understood, and Liu Che looked at Liu Yi with a gaze full of thought. He glanced at his three children. Liu Mo looked at the sand table and smiled slightly, as if he had gained something, but Liu Ju and Liu Chu looked at each other blankly.
Liu Yi planted a few more flags, marking the terrain and the troops on both sides, and said, "This is the topographic map of the Hexi Corridor, if the Han and Hungarians start a war again, they must be here first." General Huo Xiao, you and I occupy both sides, you have the right to be the commander of the Han Dynasty, I will temporarily pretend to be the Hun army, and we will temporarily practice on this sand table. ”
Huo Quzhi said a good word, hesitated, raised his flag, passed through Wusheling Ridge, and suddenly attacked the Hexi Corridor. Liu Yi divided 10,000 troops, intercepted on the road, and met the two armies at the foot of Yanzhi Mountain.
"If my marching speed is fast enough," Huo Quzhi stroked his chin and said, "I can get here before the Huns react, he pointed to the Gaolan Mountain, which is more than a thousand miles away from Yanzhi Mountain, and fought fiercely with the Hun army, and most of the victories and defeats were in me." ”
Liu Yi smiled appreciatively, and sure enough, it was the genius Huo Quai. He said, "The tactics that the Huns are good at are nothing more than long-distance attacks. If the Han army is stronger than them at this point, why worry that the Huns will not be destroyed. ”
"That's true." Huo Qu responded to the illness, turned around and said, "Your Majesty, this competition between me and General Liu will be a peace." ”
"Naturally, Huo Jiaoqi won," Liu Yi smiled, "How can the Huns fight with my Han?" He said semanticly.
"Go sick, I will not break my promise to you." Liu Che said, looking at Liu Yi and said, "Liu Qing's thoughts about war are really endless. ”
"This is what the minister should do." Liu Yi bowed his head and replied.
Liu Che glanced at his two sons and said, "I wonder how the two princes practiced their riding and archery kung fu?" ”
"According to His Royal Highness, he was not taught by Wechen himself, and Wechen didn't dare to say anything." Liu Yi smiled and said, "As for His Royal Highness Mo," he glanced at Liu Mo and said, "Weichen dares to say that he is qualified." ”
"Does Liu Qing want any reward?"
"This ......," Liu Yi hesitated and said, "Originally, what Weichen did was all within his own authority, and he didn't dare to ask for credit." But since the emperor opened his mouth, Weichen dared to ask. He said, "Weichen and Dasi Nong Sang Hongyang, Master Sang, and Chen Niangniang and Feiyue Eldest Princess, all have a righteous brother and sister friendship. The minister begged the emperor for permission to let the minister and Lord Sang go to Nagato. ”
After a long time, he couldn't hear Liu Che's echo, and Liu Yi raised his head slightly and saw Liu Che's suffocating face. I only heard Liu Che ask slowly, "I don't ask about your friendship outside for the time being, I want to know," he snorted coldly and said compassionately, "You Liu is still fine." I remember that Sang Hongyang is still a year younger than me, how can he exchange brothers and sisters with my sister Gillian? ”
