Chapter 44: Chang'an, Huo Qu's illness is really fragrant
Luo's mission passed through Xingyang and Luoyang, and then entered the customs from Kunshan to Chang'an City.
Luo's envoy lived in the post house of the imperial court to entertain the princes, and then entered the palace to meet the Son of Heaven, Liu Che was very puzzled by the sudden visit of the Principality of Zhao, and did not understand what they were doing in Chang'an on this non-tributary day.
But adhering to the principle that Luo's is no trivial matter, Liu Che still met with Luo's envoys very seriously.
In the Changle Palace.
Liu Che smiled and asked, "Envoy, Duke Zhao sent an envoy to Chang'an of the Han Dynasty, but there is something important?" ”
Luo envoy bowed and said: "Supreme Son of Heaven, the lord sent his ministers to come, for the prosperity of Zhuxia, for the Han Dynasty of the country, Luo Shi presents you with a royal horse treasure to help you defeat the Xiongnu." ”
Imperial horse treasure?
Liu Che was interested, but he was very interested in anything that had anything to do with the horse, and hurriedly said, "The messenger also asks for instructions." ”
Luo Envoy clapped his hands, and someone led a horse to the hall, and the stirrups and saddles on the horse's body immediately attracted Liu Che's attention, he was also a master of horseback riding, and when he saw these two things, he almost immediately knew their function.
Countless images flashed in Liu Che's mind in an instant, and an electric current went up from his spine all the way up to the back of his head, shaking him all the way to the bottom of his head.
He stood up from his seat with a pout, and then ran straight towards the war horse, and the guards of the people around him were anxious when they saw this, and they all shouted: "Your Majesty, the war horse is violent and dangerous." ”
Liu Che directly flicked his sleeves and said: "Don't stop me, what do you know, where is this treasure, this is clearly an artifact, this is an artifact in the world." ”
Liu Che ran to the side of the war horse, stretched out his hand and pulled the stirrup, and shook the saddle, the war horse let out two long whistles, Liu Che's hand trembled slightly with excitement, he really couldn't believe what he saw, "It's so simple, so simple, why hasn't anyone thought of it in the past?" ”
Oh, yes.
This is a typical case of a blind spot, and even invented a half-sided pedal to assist the horse, but did not think of installing it on the other side so that the person on the horse could stabilize his body.
Then Liu Che heard the sound of the bell, this was not the sound of the horse's hooves stepping on the temple, Liu Che looked at the horse's hooves, the source of the sound, with some doubts, and then saw the metal on the horse's hooves.
"Your Majesty, this is a horseshoe, created to prevent injuries to the horse's hooves.
The family has experienced many experiments, and after having a horseshoe, the war horse will basically not lose its combat effectiveness due to the injury of the horse's hoof, or even die directly.
Just like the battle of Monan-Moxi, the imperial court lost nearly 7,000 war horses, of which 5,000 were caused by long-term running and fighting, and the horse's hooves were injured and could not walk. ”
"Fetish!"
Liu Che was so excited that he couldn't speak, "This is an incomparable artifact, I originally planned to spend five years raising horses and ten years raising people, but now it seems that it doesn't take so long at all."
This is King Su blessing me, and he actually sent such a divine object at such a critical moment of the war, if he can't defeat the Huns, I am ashamed of King Su, ashamed of my ancestors, and ashamed of the people of the world who died because of this! ”
Liu Che turned to face Luo Envoy and said in a deep voice: "I will immediately build a workshop for the Three Treasures of the Imperial Horse inside and outside Chang'an City, dispatch craftsmen from all over the world to build them, raise the priority of these Three Treasures to the same level as the bow and crossbow, and strive to build at least 100,000 sets of Imperial Horse Treasures within three years." ”
This is the power of the Han Dynasty, which is far from being comparable to Luo's, and the two are not of an order of magnitude at all.
The population under the rule of the Han Empire is no less than 35 million people who belong to the central court alone, plus the population ruled by princes, princes, and powerful people, plus the hidden population, although these are not directly ruled by the Han Empire, but under the current political system, the difference is not big, and the population of the entire Han Empire is about 55 million.
Once such a huge population is mobilized, the power can be called devastating.
The only restriction is that the agrarian empire is limited to the productive forces, and if it wants to ensure social stability, ninety percent of the population must be bound to the land in non-war times, and even in wartime, at least ninety percent of the people must ensure farming, otherwise it will be the end of the world's displacement.
The number of people who can directly launch the war in wartime will not exceed 30,000, which is not an order of magnitude at all, so Luo's has always played four or two thousand pounds.
Through the influence of ideology and culture, to achieve the effect of raising arms, those ideas are the bottom line and core interests of Rockwell, and they are really not allowed to touch.
"Son of Heaven Shengming!"
For the Son of Heaven's generosity, Luo Envoy is very satisfied, this is the purpose of the family's sacrifice of the Three Treasures of the Imperial Horse, only the Han Dynasty has enough strength to carry out more than 100,000 armament casting, just the amount of iron ore is not what these ordinary princes can do now.
……
Luo Jinxiu parted ways with the mission after entering Chang'an City, and Luo Wujian naturally came to greet his sister in person.
Luo Jinxiu first visited Dong'ahou Mansion according to the number of etiquette, and then followed Luo Wujian to Wushuanghou Mansion.
"No disease!"
Luo Jinxiu lifted the front curtain of the carriage and stepped out of the carriage, and suddenly heard a male voice calling for his younger brother, and looked up, at the end of the street in Fang City, a young man was riding on a horse to greet him.
Luo Wujian rode over and said softly: "Sister, it's my brother's friend, the champion Hou Huo is sick, and he probably called me to drink again, so I'll send him away, let the housekeeper take my sister into the house first." ”
Champion Hou Huo is sick?
Luo Jinxiu has still heard of this name, since the victory of Monan, the name Huo Quzhi has been popular with Luo Wujian in all the counties of the Han Dynasty, and Zhaocheng is no exception.
It's so young.
is as young as Ah Di, but the two are very different, Huo Quzhi looks like a fire, and Luo Wuji is much more stable, as tolerant as a ball of water.
This is Luo Jinxiu's evaluation of Huo Quzhi, she is four or five years older than Huo Quzhi and Luo Wuji, and women are more precocious, so they naturally feel that they are too young, like children.
Huo Qubing rode on a horse, and at a glance he saw the soft woman with the holy mark engraved on her eyebrows, which was really stunning, and she was as gentle as spring water when she looked at it.
At this moment, he understood why he should marry a Luo girl, and he also had an urge to ask for marriage on the spot.
But the Huns were not destroyed, and the heroic ambition of the family was still lingering in his ears, and he immediately wanted to destroy the Huns immediately and threw the head of the Hun Shan Yu in front of Changle Palace.
Luo Wujian rode towards Huo Quai, and said with a smile: "Go sick, my sister just returned to Chang'an today, I can't drink with you, let's get together another day." ”
"That's Sister?"
Huo Quzhi patted his chest and said, "That's Sister?"
Since my sister and brother are reunited today, I won't bother.
But you and I are like brothers, and the sister who has no illness is my sister, and I must visit me another day, and I can't lose the courtesy! ”
Luo Wujian was a little speechless when he heard this, and a big question mark appeared on his mind.
?
In this era, there is indeed such a fashion, and even the parents and wives of the righteous brothers will be supported.
I raise your wife.
This is not a joke, but a commitment between men.
But the problem is that Luo Wujian is speechless because he is still standing here well, visiting his elders, which does not match Huo Quzhi's character.
Luo Jinxiu followed the maid into the house, Huo Qubing retracted his gaze, Luo Wujian looked at this scene and said with a smile: "This time Sister returned to Zhaocheng, I don't know if my brother has introduced the talent and handsome Yan to Sister A. ”
After speaking, Luo Wuji turned around and entered the mansion directly, Huo Quzhi was directly stunned in place, and left with a slight frown after pondering for a moment.
Luo Wujian walked into the mansion and saw that Sister A was waiting for him, so he dismounted and smiled: "Sister, let's go." ”
"Don't you invite the champion to come in as a guest?"
Luo Wuji said with an inexplicable smile on his face: "Don't worry about him, my sister and brother haven't seen me for many days, today my brother will pick up the wind and wash the dust for you, Sister Come on, this is the house that my brother has prepared for you." ”
Luo Jinxiu was dusty all the way, so she naturally had to wash and bathe first, and only walked out of the courtyard when the sun was gradually setting in the west and had dinner.
Luo Jinxiu and Luo Wuxi each had a small table in front of them, on which were some exquisite snacks, this was the era of the meal system.
"Sister, is the family okay? Dare to Warrior ......"
Luo Jinxiu swallowed the food in his mouth, then drank the saliva before saying, "Everything is fine, and you are preparing for the development of the Western Regions."
The bereavement of the deceased clansmen who went out with you on the expedition has been distributed, and the injured clansmen have been taken care of by the family, so you don't have to worry. ”
Hearing this, Luo Wujian raised his head and drank a glass of wine, and then filled the wine in the wine glass, he knew that he shouldn't worry about this, the family had never made a mistake in these aspects for thousands of years, they were all descendants of King Su, and no one could make a mistake.
The two were chatting casually, and then the butler walked in and said, "Junhou, the champion Hou is outside the door, and he handed over the greeting post." ”
Luo Wujian was stunned for a moment, and walked out of the hall with a confession to Luo Jinxiu, and when he came to the house, he saw Huo Quzhi pacing anxiously.
"Go sick brother."
Luo Wujian called, Huo Quzhi took three steps and two steps directly after seeing Luo Wuji, and said with a forced smile: "Brother Wuji, do you recognize my brother?" ”
Luo Wuxi raised his eyebrows and said: "Naturally, I recognize it, what do you mean by what Brother Sick said?" ”
————
He was very pleased with the three treasures, and gave Zhao Gong 30,000 gold, and gave two of the nine tins.
It's night, can't sleep, said left and right: "The Han gets this treasure, if the dragon swims in the ocean, the eagle strikes for nine days, the prosperity of the Huns is no longer returned, and the momentum of Xia Yi's attack and defense is different!"
It is advisable to send a message to the Huns and say: Kou can go, I can also go!
Salty makes the captives smell nonsense. ——"Hanshu Xiaowu Benji"
