The heavens start from saving Daming

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

In a side hall in Changle Palace, Li Yunze handed a bunch of grapes to Liu Zhi who was in front of him, "Taste it."

With a calm expression, Liu Zhi took one of the grapes, wiped it on his sleeve, and threw it into his mouth to chew.

He was never worried that Li Yunze would poison him to death, because he didn't need to go through such trouble if he wanted to kill him suddenly, and he didn't need Li Yunze to do it himself.

'Pooh! '

Liu Zhi chewed a few mouthfuls, then frowned and spat on the ground.

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

"Who told you to eat it with the skin." Li Yunze laughed and shook his head, "But this thing is indeed not sweet now."

The reason why later generations of grapes are large and sweet is the result of artificial intervention and years of cultivation.

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

"It was planted in Shanglinyuan last year, and it is not mainly used for eating."

Sitting down on the stone bench in the yard, Li Yunze gestured to the grapes in Liu Zhi's hands, "This thing is used to make wine. Those barbarian merchants in Chang'an New City bring the most wine."

Liu Zhi nodded thoughtfully, "The wine tastes really good."

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

Years of confinement had sharpened her arrogance and temper. Now she is diligent and capable in doing things. It is hard to imagine the empress Chen in history who was not touched by the sun, but had a great temper.

"If you are not afraid of being poisoned, then drink it."

As soon as these words came out, it seemed that his temper hadn't been worn down too much, it was really hard to change his nature.

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

It really became popular in the Qin and Han Dynasties.

Of course, in this world, it was naturally driven by Li Yunze, who provided advanced planting and tea-frying technologies.

As the saying goes, the emperor likes to drink tea, which naturally drives the honorable civil and military people.

And after honorable civil and military people become popular, it will naturally affect the rich and the middle class, and then the common people.

The tea produced by Huangzhuang is also an important source of income for the growing Wei Dahan.

After all, the tax exemption is so powerful, and to maintain the operation of the country, it is necessary to open up multiple sources of income.

"How is life here?"

Facing the inquiry, Liu Zhi with a calm expression responded in a flat voice, "It's very good, I will give you what I want. I study and practice martial arts on weekdays, and cultivate the fields, without worries and worries."

Chen Ajiao, who was sitting by the side, couldn't help following up, "I'll give you whatever you want, except for living things. We have lived here for so many years, except for the palace guard who delivered things and the sister who came to visit, don't give me anything. No one has ever seen any of them."

Liu Zhi turned sideways, stretched out his hand to hold Chen Ajiao's little hand and patted it, signaling her not to be so eager, and to be calm.

The sister Chen Ajiao was talking about was naturally Princess Pingyang.

There are three sisters of Liu She's compatriots, but apart from Princess Pingyang, Princess Longli and Princess Nangong have never visited Liu She.

After all, their husband's family doesn't respect Princess Pingyang like Wei Qing does, and they are also highly valued by the emperor, so they don't care about such things.

On the contrary, Princess Nangong's husband is Zhang Ou's son Zhang Zuo, and Zhang Ou is the emperor's diehard, so of course Princess Nangong would not be allowed to visit the deposed emperor.

Not to mention Princess Longli, Princess Guantao's whole family was ruined, and her husband Chen Yu even lost his life, and finally remarried, so how dare she get involved in karma.

After all, without the backing of Emperor Jing and Mrs. Wang, and without the care of the new emperor, and his status is so embarrassing, he was naturally unwilling to come.

Princess Pingyang was granted a license, and it was guaranteed by Wei Qing's face.

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

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

In history, Chen Ajiao and Liu Che's golden house, Cangjiao, has become a tragedy. Even if Sima Xiangru wrote the Nagato Fu, it is useless, leaving only a love story that is missed by many literary youths.

Now, I can't say much else, but the husband and wife have lived together here for so many years, and their relationship is definitely very, very harmonious.

"The Western Regions are a good place."

Li Yunze put down the tea bowl in his hand, smiled and talked about Zhang Qian's mission to the Western Regions with Liu Zhi, "The snow water flowing down from the Tianshan Mountains nourishes and nourishes the large fertile land at the foot of the mountain. The green forests are endless, and the big and small rivers The winding past is magnificent.”

After describing the scenes of the Western Regions, Liu She who was on the opposite side was also very engrossed in listening, looking leisurely and fascinated.

"Such a treasure land must be in the hands of the big man."

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

"It's natural."

Li Yunze nodded, and then said, "I have ordered Wei Qing to be the general, to lead a hundred thousand troops out of the Great Wall."

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

"Not really."

Li Yunze simply shook his head, "The Huns are very shrewd now. They have completely abandoned the two hundred miles north along the Great Wall and artificially created no-man's land. Except for smugglers, no one can find out where the Huns' tribe is. They are now Every year, the bandits come from time to time, and when they come, they bring all kinds of equipment made by the craftsmen who have been kidnapped, and they specifically attack the city strongholds on the border, and they leave as soon as they finish fighting, without any delay."

"How could this be?" Hearing this, Liu Zhi frowned in surprise, "The Huns don't play like this."

"It wasn't before, but they were scared of being beaten by the big man." Li Yunze nodded in response. "They used to dare to fight the big man, but every time they were defeated and returned with heavy losses. Later, they changed their tactics and switched to guerrilla warfare."

"The Great Wall of the Great Han North stretches for thousands of miles. Facing the guerrilla warfare of the Huns, they can only garrison everywhere. It is very embarrassing to be harassed. As for these tactical changes, it is said that Liu Ling made them."

"Liu Ling?" Liu Zhi showed a thoughtful look on his face, "I seem to have heard my sister say it."

"Well, the daughter of the King of Huainan ran away to the Huns and became the Yan family of the Xiongnu Chanyu Yi Zhixie."

Hearing this, Liu She didn't say much, but just picked up the tea bowl and drank tea.

He naturally heard about Li Yunze's continuous raids on the kings from Princess Pingyang.

He was in favor of cutting the feudal clan, but he didn't approve of it so ruthlessly.

Of course, it's not his turn to care about it, so I just pretend I didn't hear it, and there's nothing to say on this issue.

Here Chen Ajiao couldn't help but said, "Is it just let the Huns fight? I don't know if they will fight back?"

"Of course I called back."

Li Yunze was not angry either, and explained with a smile, "The Great Wall Legion will make a large-scale mobilization every year to sweep up the northern part of the Great Wall."

"The problem is the lack of cavalry. Even if you take a large number of boxcars and go deep into the north for hundreds of miles, you will have no choice but to reach the edge of the vast sea. The mobility is too poor, and the lack of guides does not know where there is water, so you can't go deep into it."

"The Huns understood the game of harassment. They only had a few scout horses cruising back and forth in the no-man's land. When they saw the army leaving the fortress, they passed on the news, and then retreated all the way north, retreating into the vast sea, in order to lure the army into it. .”

"Two years ago, the Youbeiping county guards pursued deeply, and encountered sandstorms again. Thousands of troops lost their way due to lack of water and could only abandon boxcars and retreat, but they were besieged by the Huns and failed miserably. Even the county guards were defeated. Captured alive. Fortunately, he was alert and found an opportunity to snatch the horse and escape."

That's right, what Li Yunze was talking about was the famous Mihou Li Guang, who dared to go deep into the vast sea without any preparation, and it's not uncommon for him to be defeated.

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

"Is it possible that you can only be harassed?"

Unwilling Liu Zhi asked, "Is there no good way?"

"Of course there is a solution." Li Yunze explained, "The root cause of this problem is that the infantry-based soldiers and horses moved too slowly, which gave the Huns a chance to calmly dispatch and respond. In fact, their tribes were scattered and they passed on news. It takes time to gather together. As long as you can grasp this time difference, you will be able to be caught off guard. At that time, it will become a separate defeat."

Liu She suddenly nodded, "Cavalry."

"That's right, the 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 had no choice but to stand up and pour tea for Li Yunze.

"It's not the kind of cavalry infantry with only one horse per person. It must be a real cavalry with at least three horses or even five horses per person, and it must have a scale of at least [-]."

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

"It's already in progress. As long as you work hard, you will eventually be done."

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

Huo Qubing's 16th birthday!
Liu Zhi looked leisurely and fascinated, wishing he could participate in it too.

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

As a deposed emperor, I can't even get out of this side hall, so I want to fight the Huns?
Emperor Wu in history, no matter how he was evaluated, one thing that cannot be avoided is that he really beat the Xiongnu, and there is no doubt about it.

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

Seeing the slumped look on Liu Zhi's face, Li Yunze also smiled.

He took the time to ask, "Do you know where Wei Qing has gone?"

"It's not about fighting the Huns, so where else can we go?"

"We are going to fight against Wei Man Korea."

Hearing this, Liu Zhi's expression suddenly changed, "So that's the case. Weiman Korea and other countries in the Western Regions are the vassal wings of the Huns, so it's reasonable to cut their wings first."

Then, when Liu Zhi reached out to serve tea, he heard Li Yunze say, "After the defeat of Weiman Korea, you go there and become the king."

'Dangling~~~'

Two sounds of tea bowls falling to the ground came almost at the same time.

Liu Zhi and Chen Ajiao, who came back from pouring tea, dropped the tea bowls in their hands, and looked at Li Yunze in disbelief.

After a while, Liu She came back to his senses and said, "You, you want to let me out?"

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