"Your Majesty, the soldiers who returned to the dynasty are indeed as Su Chen said, there are less than a hundred people missing."

Sun Yushi, who went to check the number of soldiers returning to the court, returned to Luoyang.

"The soldiers of the new dynasty and the expedition to the west are indeed blessed by heaven, and in the end, less than 100 people were killed in the west's expedition for more than half a year." Wang Mang said.

"Your Majesty, since Su Chen is not exaggerating, please ask Your Majesty to recall him and reinstate the official." Su Yan said.

Sun Yushi also nodded in agreement.

Just beating himself up, he directly let the family return to his hometown, and he thinks he doesn't have so much face.

"No need, Su Chen has already had the idea of resigning, even if I want to reinstate him, I'm afraid he won't come back."

Sun Yushi's face turned red.

He was really guilty, because he had sent a promising general home.

If he hadn't been unrelenting to Su Chen before, he wouldn't have the idea of resigning and returning to his hometown, he blamed himself.

"Sun Yushi, Su Chen's resignation was something he told me before he set out on the expedition. It's none of your business, and you don't put the blame on you. Wang Mang looked at Sun Yushi, who had an abnormal complexion, and said.

After Su Chen left, one of his courtiers was guilty for the rest of his life.

"Your Majesty doesn't need to comfort the old minister." Sun Yushi said with some decadence.

Su Chen is the descendant of the long-lived marquis, and the official fortune of the new dynasty is Hengda. He has real skills, and through this war, he learned that he actually has the favor of God.

Such a person should go further, have a better future, and leave a strong mark in the history books.

But because of himself, he resigned.

Sun Yushi was in a daze all day, and he couldn't remember exactly what he said at the court meeting, and he didn't know that anyone had greeted him.

When he slept at night, his wife also heard a sentence from Sun Yushi

"The old man is guilty of a great sin!"

When Sun Yushi criticized himself in the depths of his heart, Su Chen was taking Wang Zhaojun on a tour of the mountains and rivers.

"You stand here and don't move, I'll buy you a sugar gourd." Su Chen said to Wang Zhaojun.

"What is a sugar gourd?" Wang Zhaojun asked curiously.

"This goes back a long, long time, and legend has it that there was a camel hill where a beautiful girl lived with a pomegranate. Pomegranate falls in love with a man named Su Chen, and they live on a mountain and get along day and night. But the good times didn't last long, and the beauty of the pomegranate was known to the emperor. ”

The emperor wanted to take the pomegranate as a concubine, but the pomegranate swore to die, and finally Su Chen turned into a tree, and the pomegranate turned into a red fruit on the tree. The emperor called it the dregs of the mountains, that is, the dregs of the mountains. But people love strong pomegranates, so they call him hawthorn. ”

"Are you telling a true story or a fake?" Wang Zhaojun glanced at Su Chen.

Have you lived with another woman before?

By the way, Su Chen has lived for so long, and it is normal to have a few women before.

And a man, it's normal to have three wives and four concubines, you can't be such a jealous woman, but why do you still want to bite Su Chen to death!

"Of course it's fake, and I don't know why the story I made up of at the beginning has been passed down like this." Su Chen said.

"Humph! What does that have to do with sugar gourds? ”

"The sugar gourd is a hawthorn wrapped in a layer of sugar."

Su Chen explained.

I remember that not long after Liu Bang died, he was greedy and came up with the sugar gourd, and taught it to a few local people.

It's just that after so many years, it seems that the sugar gourd is still only here, and there is no shadow of the sugar gourd in other places.

"Here you go, taste it." Su Chen handed Wang Zhaojun a string.

"It's sweet and sour, it's quite delicious." Wang Zhaojun took a bite and said with satisfaction.

"It's delicious for you to make these gadgets, why are you cooking so bad?" Wang Zhaojun's tone was a little resentful.

She and Su Chen went out to play in the mountains and rivers together, so naturally they didn't bring maids and servants.

So they all cook by themselves, but Su Chen's cooking level is only to the extent that she can't eat the dead, or she has learned various dishes herself.

"Maybe it's easier to make these gadgets and harder to cook." Su Chen pondered for a moment and said.

Yes, definitely.

……

The new dynasty will not stop its development because of the absence of Su Chen, and the surrounding alien races will not be bullied because of the absence of Su Chen.

In the more than ten years of time, Liu Xiu led his troops to quell the rebellion within the new dynasty several times, and fought a war against the land expansion in the west.

These wars made Liu Xiu directly doubt his life.

Because every time he went on an expedition, the strength of the target of the crusade was always greatly reduced for various reasons, and the war ended very quickly.

Liu Xiu, who had read a lot of military books, was very distressed, and felt that he had no chance to display his ability.

He was a little suspicious that Su Chen's 'method' was too powerful at the beginning, even after so many years, those rebels or alien races were still affected.

When he borrowed the military book of the Changsheng Hou Yimai, he promised to write a military book and give it to the Changsheng Hou Yimai after he became a famous general.

But in such a situation, he couldn't show a battle at all to explain his ideas and skills in leading troops, all of them were 'lucky'.

"Since I can't write about the profound and subtle art of war, I can write about how to deal with bad weather when leading troops, and I have a lot of experience."

After pondering for a moment, Liu Xiu had an idea.

He has experienced bad weather and disasters such as stones from the sky, hailstorms, universities, torrential rains, and subsidence, and he writes about them very easily.

Moreover, the art of war of the ancients was already very perfect and exquisite, and he wanted to find another way.

"Da Sima, Your Majesty summons you."

"Got it, I'll go into the palace." Liu Xiu replied.

There is no hurry to write the military book, so I will write it after I return from His Majesty.

Liu Xiu entered Wang Mang's dormitory and found that Wang Mang was lying on the bed, and there was a piece of paper hanging in front of the bed, as if it was a map.

"Uncle Wen is here, take a look at this map." Wang Mang pointed to the map and said to Liu Xiu.

"Whoa."

Liu Xiu walked to Wang Mang's bed and looked at the map.

"This is our new dynasty, isn't it big." Wang Mang said with a smile.

"The minister doesn't feel very big, and the new dynasty still occupies too little space on the map." Liu Xiu said with some surprise.

He always thought that the new dynasty was the center of heaven and earth, and there was not much territory around it.

However, from this map, it seems that the new dynasty is still not big enough.

"Yes, the new dynasty is not big enough, at least not as big as we imagined." Wang Mang muttered to himself.

He had bigger ambitions, but his body didn't allow him to do so.
