Destiny Only Han

Chapter 338 Liu Ying: Going to the meeting alone, right?

"It's bitter cold in the north, it will kill you..."

Hearing Liu Ying's words, Lu Wan fell into deep thought.

Although Liu Ying didn't say who "she" was, she was tacit.

The reason why Lu Wan wants to bring Yuji to Yan to settle down is because he gives her all the good things.

For example, Queen Yan.

This is the honor that Xiang Yu can't even give Yu Ji.

If Lu Wan stayed in Liyang, then there is a high probability that he would not be able to do it.

After all, although people don't mind women remarrying at this time, for a woman like Yu Ji who does not have a strong mother's support behind her, if she wants to be the wife of King Yan, it is tantamount to ascending to heaven.

Well, although remarried women like Wu Zetian or Empress Dowager Liu of the Song Dynasty successfully climbed to the top, at least during the Qin and Han Dynasties, women like this who had men before could reach the top, relying on mothers and sons.

For example, Mi Bazi, the mother of King Qin Zhaoxiang, Zhao Ji, the mother of the First Emperor, Bo Ji, the mother of Liu Ying's fish-lipped Oudou, and the Queen Mother, the mother of Emperor Wu of Han...

But Yu Ji's identity is more complicated than theirs.

Nominally speaking, she was the palace maid of the First Emperor, Qin II, and Prince Qin. Later, Liu Bang got acquainted with Lu Wan when he stayed in Xianyang Palace, and then followed Xiang Yu, and finally was rescued by Liu Ying...

Liu Ying saw Lu Wan's hesitation, so she said softly: "If you can't make a decision on some things for a while, it's better to wait two years and leave everything to time. For example, when Prince Yan is born, Queen Yan will naturally come to fruition." It's..."

In Lu Wan's astonishment, Liu Ying took a step back, squeezed her eyes and made a grimace: "My father has tiger penis wine that has been stored for several years. If Uncle Lu feels that he has more energy than energy, he might as well drink all of it." take it..."

Lu Wan raised her hand abruptly: "You brat, please beat me up!"

Liu Ying ran behind Liu Bang in three steps and two steps, stuck out her tongue and said: "Yan Palace is dilapidated. In my opinion, if you want to live comfortably, you need to rebuild it for at least two or three years... So, Uncle Lu should go back to Liyang. Live for a few years! Besides, if you live in Ji County, how much my father will miss you!"

The last family card played by Liu Ying completely collapsed Lu Wan's psychological defense.

His biological father died early, Taigong Liu was just like his own father in his heart, and the old man was not too young. To put it bluntly, there is no tomorrow.

If he insists on staying in the country of Yan, I'm afraid that when that day comes, he won't even be able to bid farewell to Taigong Liu!

The son wants to support but the relative does not wait.

What kind of cruelty is this!

So Lu Wan looked at Liu Bang and asked: "Why don't I go back first, after a few years the Yan Palace is repaired, and the old man is tired of me, so I'll come back?"

Liu Bang pondered for a moment, then said with a smile: "Okay. Anyway, there will be no battles to fight on Yan's side for a while, and it doesn't matter if you are there or not. Now that I have said that, I will hand over the state affairs to Prime Minister Yan and follow him." I'll go back to Liyang!"

Well, the Yan Xiang in Liu Bang's mouth was Xiao He's former deputy, Yan Zechi, the fake right prime minister.

The reason why Yan Zechi was able to stand out in the Han army was because he was good at arithmetic, proficient in addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and simple quadratic equation operations.

Even in the entertainment industry of the 21st century, it is no exaggeration to say that this ability is at the level of a schoolmaster!

Therefore, such a shrewd master is naturally necessary to open up a market in Yan State, Donghu in the north, and other surrounding tribes, and carry out import and export trade.

Moreover, although Prime Minister Yan was the prime minister of a subordinate state under the jurisdiction of the Han Empire, it was a springboard to the prime minister of the empire.

For example, Cao Shen was once the prime minister of Qi.

After discussing about Lu Wan's stay or stay, Liu Bang looked at Liu Ying and asked, "Didn't you say that many barbarian kings will come to meet and trade? People?"

Liu Ying raised her head and replied: "I received a report in the morning, saying that everyone has entered the border, and they can reach Ji County in three to five days at most. Except for Jizi North Korea, there has been no movement, and I don't know if they will come or not... ..."

Liu Bang showed a slight dissatisfaction at the corner of his mouth, while Lu Wan said with a sneer: "It's just fine if he doesn't come. If he doesn't come, can we go there?"

Liu Ying gave a thumbs up, then walked up to Liu Bang and asked, "When we make a trade alliance with them, do you want to have a drill?"

Liu Bang looked sideways slightly: "What is an exercise?"

Liu Ying explained: "Let's draw a place and let the army demonstrate combat skills to scare those barbarians... Then my father will review the soldiers..."

Liu Bang looked disdainful: "Small country, need such trouble? But I like the military parade."

Lu Wan also stepped forward and said, "I'll arrange the military parade."

Ranger, I like to show off the most.

................................................

In the south of Jixian County, a series of temporary tent areas were set up, with people drinking and drinking, singing and dancing everywhere.

"Larks fly in pairs, and two cups hang from one wing!"

After Liu Ying finished yelling, she pushed the twelve large bowls of rum in front of her to King Xianbei on the opposite side.

Well, two cups per wing, eight cups total for two birds, then one cup each for the head and tail.

Dealing with a lot of grassland people who are used to being wild, either you will throw him two big horses when you meet, or you will force him so that he can't stand up for two days, otherwise you will most likely be unlucky...

Under the booing of the crowd, the wobbly King Xianbei had to bite the bullet and drank twelve bowls in one go.

On the other side of him, Li Shiqi, who was known as a 'wine barrel', showed no sign of weakness, and drank up the rum in front of him while accompanying him.

"The larks are flying in pairs, with four cups hanging from each wing... burp!"

After King Xianbei uttered harsh words, he fell straight down and passed out completely drunk.

"Won!"

Liu Ying cheered, slapped the table suddenly, and stared at all directions: "Yes, yes, who!"

He has always mastered the ability of a fox to pretend to be a tiger.

The remaining group of Donghu leaders looked at King Xianbei who was lying on the ground drowsy, and then thought of King Wuhuan who had been carried away. They all shuddered and wanted to bury their heads in their crotches.

No one else, because the two people who fell were killed by Li Shiqi one by one.

After all, Liu Bang's "I don't feel sorry for selling cubs", he often stole Liu Ying's good wine and shared it with Li Shiqi and others, but the Donghu people had to wait until the border trade opened before they could exchange high prices for spirits from Liu Ying. .

So naturally, their tolerance to alcohol was not as good as Li Shiqi, who was tested by alcohol.

Liu Ying patted the table again: "Okay, now we can talk about business!"

Behind him, Xiao Lu immediately picked up a pen, ready to record the price offered by the other party.

Then, a man of short stature but very muscular, with obvious wounds on his lips from animal claws, stood up and said, "Our Gali tribe has 960 horses, each of which is exchanged for five bottles of wine!"

He pointed to the two Xianyang liters of rum bottled by Liu Ying on the table: "This is what we need, it can't be in a big barrel!"

Gali means fire in Donghu dialect. This is an Donghu tribe near the Great Wall, so they know a little bit of Central Plains dialect.

This guy is not stupid, this glass bottle is worth more than the wine inside... Liu Ying nodded: "The price is not unacceptable, but what kind of horse is yours, I haven't seen it yet!"

The man thumped his chest hard: "I never lie! The horses I brought are all good two-year-old horses, worth the price!"

Liu Ying looked back at Xiao Lu: "Let someone go and look at his goods. If what he said is correct, we will close this business!"

Generally, the working age of horses is from three to 15 years old. When they are two years old, they are about the same body size, and they start training and desensitization.

Well, the so-called desensitization is to make horses familiar with the human world and the tools used by humans.

After all, horses are very timid, and may even be frightened by their own shadows, so whether it is a carriage, reins, plow or saddle, you need to get familiar with it first, and think that it is absolutely not suitable for you. It can only be placed on it if it will hurt it.

Especially for war horses, it needs to be familiar with the shape of weapons, the sound of knocking through the air, and soldiers wearing armor.

Therefore, for a well-trained cavalryman, the one with the highest comprehensive value is not the person or the armor, but the horse under his crotch.

But war horses are consumables.

So fighting is always about fighting for money.

Seeing that the first business was done easily, the remaining Donghu leaders either said it themselves or talked to Liu Ying through an interpreter.

As a result, the second and third transactions were completed one after another.

It's just that Liu Ying slowly discovered a detail, that is, most of the horses or cattle traded by these Donghu leaders are two years old, and few of them are older than this age group.

There is no one-year-old cub Liu Ying is easy to understand, because of the long journey, the calf that has not grown up is likely to die on the road.

But when he thought about it, it wasn't hard to understand.

That is, it is now the end of the fifth year of the Han Dynasty, and when he first came into contact with the Donghu people, it was the middle of the third year of the Han Dynasty.

The two parties established a trade relationship at that time.

Herding horses and sheep sounds chic, but in fact it is an out-and-out drudgery and is easily affected by the natural environment.

But now that Liu Ying has the bottom line, they know that their livestock will definitely be sold, so they boldly let go of the cattle, sheep and horses.

After all, these leaders don't need to work on their own. No matter how hard they are, they can make their lives better, so why not do it.

Liu Ying nodded lightly, the plan to control the prairie people in her heart gradually matured.

At this moment, Zhao Yao trotted over from a distance: "Here we come, we come..."

Liu Ying scratched her head: "What's coming?"

Zhao Yao gasped and said, "Jizi North Korea, the Queen Mother has arrived..."

Liu Ying frowned and asked, "What I want is their king to come in person. What's the use of an old woman?"

Behind him, Xiao Lu said softly: "Perhaps they are worried. We will use this excuse to detain their king and force Jizi to cede land to North Korea... After all, there was such a precedent when Qin was in power." of."

Liu Ying nodded and said in admiration, "It's not easy for this old lady to go to the meeting alone!"
