Destiny Only Han

Pass Lingjusai, turn north along the mountain valley, pass through many mountains, and the eyes suddenly open up.

On both sides of the torrential river, there are criss-crossing paths, and patches of cornfields continue to the end of the sky, man-made canals meander among them, and there are dotted with inner walls painted with white lime.

This place is the heartland of Beidi County, the famous Ningxia Plain, with a total area of ​​more than [-] square kilometers. Now, with the continuous cultivation, it has already taken the shape of a granary in the northern part of the country.

At the end of the road, at the confluence of Helan Mountain and Dahe, stands a fortress-style city in the shape of Guancheng.

This is Shanghe City (now southwest of Yongning County, Yinchuan, Ningxia), where Captain Shanghe Nong works.

The original purpose of Shanghe Nong Duwei was to organize soldiers and people who migrated from other places to settle here after the Han army succeeded in the Northern Expedition and drove most of the Xiongnu to the north of Yinshan Mountain.

However, with the promulgation of the Reclamation Order, the population under the jurisdiction of Shanghe Nong Duwei's Mansion has exceeded [-] households, and its power is large enough to compete with its nominal boss, the Sheriff of Beidi County.

Of course, the more important factor is that Captain Shanghe Nong also belongs to Zhisu Neishi and Taiwei, and belongs to multiple leaders.

Well, similar to Construction Corps.

With the increase of the population, the power is becoming more and more prominent. The former drudgery of Shanghe Nong Duwei has suddenly become hot. Now he is only a middle-level and high-ranking official, Wuqiang Houzhuang. do not know.

This person followed Liu Bang to raise troops in Dang County as a sacrificial person, and has always followed Liu Bang. He has no credit but hard work. The most important thing is loyalty, absolute loyalty. Therefore, after the end of the Battle of Chu, he was named Marquis Wuqiang There are eight hundred households in Shiyi.

Before dawn today, Zhuang Bushi began to urge his family members to take the time to wash up, and then he hurriedly led the whole family and the officials who stayed in Shanghe Nong Duwei's mansion out of the city after a quick bite of breakfast. , stood respectfully on the left side of the road, looking south from time to time, with a look of eagerness on his face.

Without him, Liu Ying came.

When the sun rose and it was hot and dry, the dusty road in the distance was flying, and the blood-red "General Tiance" banner and the Han army battle flag with white characters on a black background fluttered in the wind, making a sound of hunting.

"Quick, quick, quick...the prince is here, cheer up!"

Zhuang Bushi turned around and scolded, and asked the attendants behind him to help him tidy up his clothes again, and checked the jade ribbon on his waist for any mistakes.

He is very self-aware. If a mediocre person wants to obtain long-term wealth and make this wealth a blessing to his descendants, in addition to being more conscientious, this kind of face project must be done more and more in place.

A moment later, Liu Ying came galloping on that pure white sweat-blooded horse called a national treasure, with a golden crown shining brightly on her head, and the moon-white brocade gown showed luxury in a low-key way.

Behind him, Zhang Buji was full of envy.

What he envied was not the white horse, but the clothes on Liu Ying.

Every stitch was done by Dou Yifang himself. Although he didn't say anything, it was filled with a wife's full love for her husband.

As for his family...

Zhang Buyi silently took out a handkerchief embroidered with mandarin ducks playing in the water or chickens pecking at the rice, and wiped away the liquid from the corners of his eyes, who didn't know whether it was sweat or tears...

"I don't know Wu Qiang Hou Zhuang, the captain of Shanghe Nong, and led the officials of the Hefu to meet with General Tiance!"

"Haha, get up!"

Liu Ying jumped off the horse, looked at Zhuang Bushi who was flattering him, and continued with a smile on her face: "It's been a long time since I saw you, Marquis Wu Qiang is as majestic as before..."

Zhuang Bushi tightened his belly tightly, raised his chest and raised his head, smiling happily: "Don't dare, the general is too famous..."

Shameless, hypocritical... Zhang Buyi curled his lips, and stood with Han Xin, showing the same contemptuous look on his face.

Zhuang Bushi turned a blind eye to this, just smiled and led Liu Ying forward, and introduced to him the subordinates of Shanghe Nong Duwei's Mansion, the focus of which was naturally his family.

"This is Xiaogou Zhuangying, the current magistrate of Helan County, His Highness knows him..."

"Of course, Zhuang Ying has been the prince's servant for a year. He is respectful and humble, so Gu will not forget it." Liu Ying nodded with a smile.

Zhuang Bushi suppressed his laughter, pulled out a frightened little boy from the crowd and said:

"This is your incompetent grandson, named Zhuang Qingdi... I heard that although His Highness's son is young, he is very intelligent. Why don't you ask Zhuang Qingdi to be a book boy for His Highness, what does His Highness think?"

Liu Qi?He should be able to talk now, and I don't know what Zhu Zhou caught... Liu Ying froze for a moment, her face full of longing.

Well, the point is to think about the child's mother.

hungry……

So Liu Ying nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "Okay, I have no objection. But you know, I have no right to decide this kind of thing, and everything depends on the queen's opinion..."

After all, it was Lu Zhi, she didn't care about government affairs at all, and all her thoughts were on her family.

In the days when Liu Ying was away, I received letters from Chang'an complaining about Lu Zhi almost every now and then.

Like Liu Le, and Lu Shizhi...

Especially the latter, when he was about to become a grandfather, he was called into the palace by Lu Zhi from time to time to reprimand him...

It's really miserable...

But Liu Ying felt that this guy asked for it himself, other people's sex with prostitutes is just a joke, Lu Shizhi has passed the age of forty, and he still believes that it is true love, even if he uses the bus for private use, he still wants to flirt Do it, you must be out of your mind!
While Liu Ying shook her head and sighed, Zhuang Bushi was overjoyed.

After all, he has been Liu Bang's attendant for many years, and he has a lot of face with Lu Zhi, so as long as he asks, it is not difficult to come to Zhuang Qingzhai to be a book boy beside Liu Qi.

Although Liu Qi is not the direct son of the crown prince, but as the eldest son of the concubine, he will inevitably build a country in the future. Zhuang Qingzhai relies on the relationship he has accumulated with Liu Qi since he was a child, and it is not easy to be a prime minister in Liu Qifeng's country...

And if the timing is right, the prime minister of the vassal state may not be able to be the prime minister of the empire!
Although he has limited aptitude, he has been influenced by Liu Bang's side for those years, and it is not for nothing!
After a while, the greetings were over, Liu Ying looked at Zhuang Bushi and asked, "How is the food, grass and supplies that I asked for before?"

Zhuang Bushi nodded and bowed his head and said: "What your Highness needs, I don't dare to be negligent. I have already prepared to stop and wait for the arrival of the army!"

"Not bad! Sure enough, it is worthy of the word "diligence" mentioned by His Majesty." Liu Ying stretched out her hand and patted Zhuang Buzhi's soft shoulder.

"Being loved by His Majesty, I am really ashamed..." Zhuang Bushi cupped his hands to the south, with a serious face: "Besides, Your Highness is fair, not just collecting draft rice and grain for free. The scholars are naturally enthusiastic, but the minister is not Too much effort."

Han Xin walked over shaking his hands, interrupting the awkward chat between Liu Ying and Zhuang Bushi:

"Since that's the case, let's order the army to set up camp on the spot. There are no people and no horses along the way. Not to mention those high-blooded war horses with delicate stomachs, even those grassland horses used as pack horses, the hungry can clearly see their ribs. ..."

"If you don't let them eat something good, I'm afraid they will die suddenly!"

Zhuang didn't know how to focus. When he was with Liu Bang, besides being a bodyguard and messenger, his main job was to obey Xia Houying's orders and raise horses...

So he laughed and said:

"Extremely extreme. As the saying goes, horses have no night grass and are not fat, especially war horses. Long-distance marches really don't have much time for war horses to eat a good amount of fodder... But now that the army has arrived in Shanghe City, everything is better Already!"

"The Marquis of Huaiyin may not be clear. I don't have many other things in the Henong Duwei's mansion, but there are plenty of corn and soybeans, and pastures such as alfalfa and ryegrass are all over the mountains and plains!"

Han Xin nodded and couldn't help complaining:

"That's good. Those horses in the army who have the blood of the Western Region horses are good at everything else, but they are too tricky. If they only eat good food, weeds mixed into the forage, even if they are cut into pieces, the beast will give you Pick it out with your tongue and throw it on the ground..."

Liu Ying smiled and did not speak.

This is a very normal thing. After all, you can't let the horse run and let the horse not eat grass.

Just like the Japanese back then, in order to improve the local horses that were not much bigger than donkeys, they deliberately introduced a large number of good horses, such as thoroughbred horses, from Europe.

Although the results are outstanding, and the Dongyang Dama that Brother Yunlong is very envious of has been cultivated, but the Japanese army is almost exhausted...

Without him, Dongyang Dama inherited the spleen and stomach of European horses, and only ate concentrated feed such as oats and alfalfa, which was better than what many Japanese soldiers ate in the later period of the war...

The most important thing is that the soldiers can give full play to their national characteristics and be a herbivorous boy, but the horses can't do it, and they will die in minutes after eating too much...

Well, although the soldiers also died suddenly...

ps: Captain Shanghe Nong, first created during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Ban Kuang once held this position, and was ranked first in the country in the evaluation of political performance by the chief minister of agriculture, and was promoted to the captain of Zuo Caoyue cavalry.When she became emperor, her daughter was selected into the palace. She was capable of civilization and history, and was good at rhetoric and Fu. She was later established as Jieyu.

Well, it is the famous Ban Jieyu.

Ban Jieyu had a brother named Ban Zhi. Ban Zhi gave birth to Ban Biao, and Ban Biao had sons Ban Gu, Ban Chao, and a daughter, Ban Zhao.

Ban Chao, that is, the Ban Dingyuan who threw his pen into the army and became a marquis for thousands of miles. In the eyes of people in the Western Regions, he was particularly "barbaric" and very violently interfering in the internal affairs of other countries.

And one of his subordinates named Tian Li didn't give up much.

When Tian Li went to Shule as an envoy, he met Douti, the king of Shule, who was unwilling to submit to the Han Dynasty alone. Taking advantage of his unpreparedness, he directly arrested him, and then flew all the way from his palace to Banchao with Douti. return...

Not to mention Ban Gu, when Dou Xianle and Shi Yanran served in the Central Guard Army, he wrote "Feng Yanran Mountain Inscription", which was called "Banma" together with Sima Qian. After his death, his sister Ban Zhao was ordered to enter Dongguan Zangshu Pavilion continued to write "Hanshu", and Ban Zhao later became the guest behind the scenes of the Queen Mother Deng who controlled the government...

It is true that it is a family of Niubi.
