"This is a grape, Zhang Qian brought it back from the Western Regions."

In a side hall in Changle Palace, Li Yunze handed a bunch of grapes in his hand to Liu Yu in front of him, "Taste it." ”

Liu Yu, who looked calm, took the grape and picked one, wiped it on his sleeve, and threw it directly into his mouth to chew.

He never worried that Li Yunze would poison him, because he didn't need to be so troublesome if he wanted him to die violently, and he didn't need Li Yunze to do it himself.

'Phew! ’

Liu Yu chewed a few bites, then directly frowned and spit on the ground.

"It's bitter and astringent, what's the use of this kind of thing."

"Who told you to eat it with the skin?" Li Yunze shook his head with a smile: "But this thing is indeed not sweet now." ”

The reason why the grapes in later generations are big and sweet is because of artificial intervention and years of cultivation.

Only sweet grapes have a chance to inherit genes, and the unsweet ones have long since disappeared.

"This was planted in Shanglinyuan last year, and it wasn't mainly for eating."

Sitting down on the stone bench in the courtyard, Li Yunze motioned to the grapes in Liu Yu's hand, "This thing is used to make wine." Those Hu merchants in Chang'an New City bring the most wine. ”

Liu Yu nodded thoughtfully: "The wine tastes good." ”

At this time, Chen Ajiao came out of the hall and put the tea in front of Li Yunze with a straight face.

Years of captivity have sharpened her former arrogance and temper, and now she is diligent and capable, making it difficult to imagine the Queen Chen in history who does not touch the sun and spring water, but has a great temper.

"If you're not afraid of being poisoned, drink it."

As soon as these words came out, it seemed that the temper had not been worn out too much, and it was really difficult to shake the nature.

When Shennong tasted the herbs, the tea leaves had already been found, but they were used for sacrifices in the past.

It really became popular in the Qin and Han dynasties.

Of course, in this world, it is naturally driven by Li Yunze, who provides advanced planting and roasted tea technology.

As the so-called upward and downward effect, the Son of Heaven likes to drink tea, which naturally drives the nobles and warriors.

And after the nobles and warriors became popular, it would naturally affect the rich middle class, and then the common people.

The tea planted and produced in Huangzhuang is also an important source of income for the gradual growth of Wei Dahan.

After all, the tax exemption is so powerful, if you want to maintain the operation of the country, you naturally need to open up multiple ways of income.

"How are you living here?"

Faced with the inquiry, Liu Yu, who looked calm, responded calmly, "It's good, give what you want." On weekdays, he studied and practiced martial arts, cultivated the fields, and had no worries and sorrows. ”

Chen Ajiao, who was sitting on the side, couldn't help but follow up, "Give what you want, except for living things." The two of us have lived here for so many years, and we have never seen anyone except the palace guard who delivered things and the sister who came to visit. ”

Liu Yu turned sideways, reached out and held Chen Ajiao's little hand and patted it, signaling her not to be so anxious and not to be impatient.

The sister in Chen Ajiao's mouth is naturally Princess Pingyang.

Liu Yu has three sibling sisters, but except for Princess Pingyang, Princess Longxi and Princess Nangong have never come to visit Liu Yu.

After all, their husband's family does not respect Princess Pingyang like Wei Qing, and they are highly valued by the Son of Heaven and don't care about such things.

On the contrary, Princess Nangong's husband is Zhang Ou's son Zhang Zao, and Zhang Ou is the hardcore of the Son of Heaven, of course Princess Nangong will not be allowed to visit the abolished emperor.

Not to mention Princess Longxi, Princess Guantao's whole family was ruined, and her husband Chen Chan even lost his life, and finally remarried, where would he dare to be contaminated with cause and effect.

After all, without Emperor Jing and Mrs. Wang as backers, and without the care of the new emperor, his identity is so embarrassing, he is naturally reluctant to come.

Princess Pingyang is a concession, and she is guaranteed by Wei Qing's face.

Even so, every time she went home, Princess Pingyang would do her best to serve Wei Qing in return, and now she has even given birth to three sons.

Li Yunze smiled, looking at the hands held by Liu Yu and Chen Ajiao, he was also a little emotional.

In history, Chen Ajiao and Liu Che's golden house Zangjiao turned into a tragedy, even if Sima Xiangru wrote Nagato Fu, it was useless, leaving a love story that was missed by many young people.

Now, it's hard to say much else, but the couple has lived here for so many years, and the relationship is definitely very, very harmonious.

"The Western Regions is a good place."

Li Yunze put down the tea bowl in his hand, smiled and told Liu Yu about Zhang Qian's mission to the Western Regions, "The snow water flowing down from the Tianshan Mountains nourishes and warms the large fertile land at the foot of the mountain. The verdant forests and rivers meandering through them are spectacular. ”

described the scene of the Western Regions, and Liu Yu on the other side was also very fascinated by it, looking leisurely and fascinated.

"Such a treasure must be in the hands of the Great Han."

Liu Yu said sincerely, "Brother Huang, you must snatch it from the hands of the Huns." ”

"It's nature."

Li Yunze nodded, and then said, "I have ordered Wei Qing to be the general and command 100,000 troops out of the Great Wall." ”

Liu Yu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he hurriedly asked, "Are you going to fight a decisive battle with the Huns?" Great, we must win! ”

"Not really."

Li Yunze simply shook his head, "The Huns are very shrewd now, and they have given up all the two hundred miles north along the Great Wall, and artificially created a no-man's land." Except for the smugglers, no one could find out where the tribes of the Huns were. They now come to Koubian every year from time to time, and they come with a large lump of equipment, all kinds of equipment made by the craftsmen they have taken captive, and they specially attack the strongholds of the border cities, and they will leave after the battle, without delay. ”

"How so?" Hearing this, Liu Yu frowned and was surprised: "The Huns are not this way of fighting. ”

"I wasn't before, but I was scared by the big man." Li Yunze nodded in response, "In the past, they dared to fight a decisive battle with the Han Dynasty, but every time they were defeated and suffered heavy losses, and then they changed their tactics to guerrilla warfare." ”

"The Great Wall of the Great Han Dynasty stretches for thousands of miles, and in the face of the guerrilla warfare of the Huns, they can only be stationed everywhere, and it is very difficult to be harassed. As for such tactical changes, it is said that Liu Ling made them. ”

"Liu Ling?" Liu Yu looked thoughtful, "I seem to have heard my sister say it." ”

"Well, the daughter of the King of Huainan ran away to the Xiongnu, and also became the Xiongnu Shan Yu Yizhi's clan."

Hearing this, Liu Yu didn't say anything, just picked up the tea bowl and drank tea.

Regarding Li Yunze's continuous sweep of the kings, he naturally heard about it from Princess Pingyang.

He is in favor of cutting the domain, but he cuts it so hard, but he doesn't approve of it.

Of course, it wasn't his turn to care, so he had to pretend that he hadn't heard it, and there was nothing to say on this issue.

Here, Chen Ajiao couldn't help but say, "Is it just to let the Huns fight?" Don't know what to call back? ”

"Of course I hit back."

Li Yunze was not angry, and explained with a smile, "The Great Wall Army will make a big dispatch every year to sweep in the north of the Saibei. ”

"The problem is the lack of cavalry, even if you carry a large number of box carts hundreds of miles deep into the north, you can't do it when you reach the edge of the Hanhai. The mobility is too poor, and the lack of a guide does not know where there is a water source, so he is unable to go deep into it. ”

"The Huns understood the attack. They had only a few horses cruising back and forth in the no-man's land, and when they saw the army coming out of the fortress, they passed the news, and then retreated all the way north to the Hanhai Sea, just to lure the army deep into it. ”

"In the past two years, the right Beiping County guarded and chased deeply, and encountered a sandstorm again. Thousands of troops were short of water and lost, so they could only abandon the box car and retreat, but they were besieged by the Huns and failed miserably, and even the county guards were captured alive. Fortunately, he was alert and found an opportunity to snatch the horse and escaped. ”

That's right, Li Yunze is talking about the famous fan Marquis Li Guang, who dared to go directly into the Hanhai without any preparation, and it is not uncommon to be defeated.

After all, all the oases in Hanhai are in the hands of the Huns, and even if the Han army can find a few, the Huns will throw in them in advance to pollute the water source with dead cattle and sheep, resulting in no water available.

"Is it possible to be attacked and disturbed?"

Liu Yu, who was unwilling, asked, "Is there any good way?" ”

"Of course, there is a way." Li Yunze explained: "The root cause of this matter lies in the fact that the soldiers and horses are mainly foot soldiers, and the speed of action is too slow, giving the Huns the opportunity to calmly dispatch and deal with it." In fact, their tribes are scattered, and it takes time to pass on the news and assemble. As long as you can seize this time difference, you will definitely be able to be caught off guard. When the time comes, it will become a break. ”

Liu Yu nodded suddenly: "Cavalry." ”

"That's right, cavalry."

Li Yunze took a sip of tea, and then pushed the teacup in front of Chen Ajiao, indicating that it was empty.

Chen Ajiao was helpless, so she had to get up and pour tea for Li Yunze.

"It's not the kind of cavalry infantry with only one horse per person, but a real cavalryman with at least three horses, or even five horses, and at least 100,000 or more."

Liu Yu was surprised: "This is not easy to do, and the cost is huge." ”

"It's already underway. As long as you work hard, you will be done one day. ”

As for when this day will come, Li Yunze has already given the answer in his heart.

On the day of Huo Quzhi's sixteenth birthday!

Liu Yu's face was leisurely and fascinated, and he couldn't wait for himself to participate.

But when he came back to his senses, he just smiled bitterly.

As a deposed emperor, he can't even get out of this side hall, and he still wants to fight the Huns?

Emperor Wu in history, no matter how he evaluates it, one thing that cannot be avoided is that people are really fighting the Huns, and there is no doubt about this.

It's a pity that he can only listen now, and he doesn't even have a chance to watch.

Seeing the dejected look on Liu Yu's face, Li Yunze also smiled.

He asked for a long time, "Do you know where Wei Qing went?" ”

"It's not to fight the Huns, so where else can you go?"

"It's going to defend North Korea."

Hearing this, Liu Yu's face showed a sudden expression, "I see." Weiman Korea and the countries of the Western Regions are the vassal wings of the Xiongnu, and it is reasonable to cut their wings first. ”

Then, Liu Yu, who reached out to serve tea, heard Li Yunze say, "After pacifying and destroying Weiman Korea, you go over there to be the king." ”

'Dangchang~~~'

The sound of two tea bowls falling to the ground came almost simultaneously.

Liu Yu and Chen Ajiao, who came back from pouring tea, fell down the tea bowl in their hands in unison, and looked at Li Yunze in disbelief.

After a while, Liu Yu came back to his senses, "You, you want to let me out?" ”

"Well, let you go to Weiman Korea to be the king!"
