my grandfather was qin shi huang

When Lu Wan heard this, she was startled at first, but then a trace of unwillingness appeared in her eyes.

"Brother, are we just going to watch the fat meat that comes to our lips and not eat it?"

It wouldn't matter if the opponent was a powerful opponent like the Xiongnu, Yuezhi, or Wusun, but it was clear that the opponent was just a group of ragged rabble who couldn't even get together a few decent weapons. How could he be willing to let this person go? What an easy achievement.

That would be a great achievement that would hopefully send you to the Marquis!
Looking at this old brother who was ready to make a move, Liu Bang knew that this guy could no longer bear the loneliness, so he immediately raised his eyebrows and cursed.

"It's a bastard not to take advantage of the opportunity. When did I, Liu Ji, have the bad habit of looking at the fat meat in the bowl and not eating it myself? Do it, of course we have to do it, but the credit is too great, we can't do it ourselves... "

As soon as she heard Liu Bang spit out that he wanted to fuck him, Lu Wan couldn't help but excitedly approached Liu Bang. .

"Brother, what do you think we should do? What do you think we should do?"

Liu Ji raised his riding whip quite casually, making a loud crackling sound in the air.

"Then let's write a letter to the emperor's grandson first!"

Having said this, Liu Bang shook the horse's bridle, urging the sweaty horse under him with a satisfied expression.

"Just like we did in Surabaya, shake people!"

Lu Wan also quickly urged the sweaty horse on his crotch to catch up. After the two of them captured the Dawan Kingdom, the already superb Dawan horses were no longer attractive to them.

How can a Dawan horse smell like a horse with sweat and blood?
Liu Bang's meaning is very simple.

It's just profit sharing.

There was too much credit for this, and Lu Wan and I couldn't eat it at all. If we insisted on eating it, we would most likely end up with a bad stomach. After all, now I am just General Zhenyuan who guards Anxi County. If I start provocations without the permission of the court, I will inevitably follow the truth.

If someone really wants to find fault, even if the emperor's grandson is protecting him, the two of them may not be immune.

After all, the two of them were originally from the Chu region and had no foundation in the court. They were said to be under the command of the emperor's grandson, but in fact they didn't have many opportunities to get close to the emperor's grandson. Once he became the target of public criticism, the emperor's grandson might not be able to protect him. Own.

The best way is to share profits.

Now that he has captured the Dawan Kingdom, the entire Dawan Kingdom, including Xise City, has fallen into his hands and has become a natural bridgehead for the imperial court to send troops.

No matter who sends the troops, they all deserve their share of the credit.

The most important thing is that if the imperial court is willing to send troops, the troops most likely to be mobilized are the troops from Hexi County. Needless to say, the Zhang Han brothers in Hexi County are his friends.

Meng Zhan and Wang Li are old acquaintances of him and share a friendship with each other.

Thinking about it, the emperor's grandson would also like to see such a contribution fall on his own team.

Return to Ershi City.

Liu Bang immediately organized several caravans, bringing the tea bricks, porcelain, silk and satin that the tribes in the Western Regions liked most, as well as some scattered ironware, and left the city of Xise and headed west along the Amu Darya River.

He knew very well that even the emperor's grandson would never be able to send troops to the west just by his own words.

Before writing a letter to the emperor's grandson, he must find out in advance what benefits the court would get from using troops to the west. And this information is a credit in itself for himself and Lu Wan.

This is not something that can be rushed.

Moreover, he was not in a hurry.

Now, here in Ershi City, he is almost equal to the Tu Emperor, and his desire to perform meritorious service and return to Xianyang has almost faded away. As for his wife and son——

With his current position of power, how much can he want but not get?

However, he still took the time to write a letter to Lu Fei and Cao respectively, in which he comforted himself a lot, lest they find him a brother-in-law secretly because they couldn't bear the loneliness at home while he was out!

After doing all this, he immediately devoted all his attention to repairing the road.

Before the Dayuan Kingdom, the reason why they were so arrogant with Yelang was that they were separated from the Western Regions by natural barriers such as the Alai Mountains. Now that the Dayuan Kingdom has been captured by themselves, their top priority is to build a bridge between the Dayuan Kingdom and the Western Regions as soon as possible. A road accessible to large armies.

"Has the memorial requesting the imperial court to allocate gunpowder, craftsmen, and Mohist disciples been sent out?"

Outside Ershi City, Liu Bang, who was rarely drinking and having fun in the palace, sat on a sweaty horse, looked at the rugged and difficult mountain road in front of him, and asked in a deep voice.

"Back to Lord Marquis, it has been sent out..."

Lu Wan on the side gently tugged on Liu Bang's sleeve.

"Brother, haven't we already asked the court's envoys to send us letters requesting support?"

Liu Bang looked at him like an idiot.

"Crying children are fed by milk. What will happen if we write more letters? If we write more letters, we are worried about national affairs and are willing to work as cows and horses for the court..."

Lu Wan clicked her tongue.

“Brother, you are taller—”

Both of them tacitly agreed not to mention that they secretly withheld the gunpowder.

Naturally, the more of this unimaginable weapon you have in your hands, the better. If you take it out at a critical moment, it will be a magical weapon that can determine the direction of the battlefield.

……

Liu Ji captured Dayuan and was granted the title of Marquis for his merits, which naturally caused countless shocks.

But apart from Liu Ji's family, the ones who felt the greatest feelings were actually the group of new talents under the command of the emperor's grandson. Zhang Han, Meng Zhan, Wang Li and others were so envious that they almost drooled.

Become a marquis for meritorious service!
I would like to ask the officers and soldiers of Great Qin, who does not yearn for this?

It didn't matter that Han Xin was awarded the title of Marquis for his merits. After all, they were really convinced of Han Xin's ability to lead troops in battle. It was only a matter of time before he was able to achieve what he is today.

But Liu Ji is really a bit jealous.

Mainly because everyone has an impression of this person——

When he followed the emperor's grandson to conquer Mobei and pacify Hexi, he couldn't be said to be inconspicuous, he could only be said to be unremarkable. Although he followed the emperor's grandson every day, he never made any achievements.

After arriving in the Western Region, everything suddenly became popular.

Not only did they miraculously regain the countries in the Western Regions, but this time, they even crossed the Alai Mountains directly and opened the door to the west from Qin. The speed was so fast that they were not used to it.

Although it is not necessarily true that I am jealous of Liu Bang, I really can't sit still.

Especially Wang Li, he really couldn't sit still!
His eldest father was Marquis Wu Cheng, his brother-in-law was Marquis Tong Wu, and his brother-in-law was the current emperor's grandson. He was once a world-famous champion general, and among the second generation of the court, there was no one with higher birth status than him. No one is more noble, and no one has a stronger background than him. Similarly, except for Zhao Ying, there is almost no one with a higher starting point than him.

But now, Han Xin, who was still under his command at the time, had already been granted a title for his merits!

Xiang Yu, who later joined the emperor's grandson, would have been given the title of general by now if he had not been convicted and dismissed for massacre of the Huyan tribe some time ago. Now, even Liu Ji, who only talks and boasts all day long, has been awarded the title of Marquis. On the contrary, he is still just a small general of Zhenxi in Wuwei County...

Why doesn't this make him feel complicated?
In the past few days, even my thoughts on dealing with government affairs have faded a bit.

One day, he was in a depressed mood. After practicing riding and shooting for a while in the Wuwei County Houya, he felt a little bored. He simply stopped and sat down in a pavilion nearby. He was asked to prepare two simple side dishes for him. People drink wine.

"Husband, Governor Xiao is here to visit..."

He had just finished drinking half of the wine when he heard Princess Jianning's gentle voice coming from the courtyard gate. He quickly put down his wine glass and stood up.

"Husband, madam, why did you come here suddenly..."

Seeing her husband's guilty look as if he had done something wrong, Princess Jianning was both angry and amused, and rolled her eyes at him.

"Drink, just drink. I won't stop you. Why hide here to drink secretly? If you don't know, you might think I'm being unreasonable and won't let you drink..."

Wang Li laughed there.

"No, no, I just think it's quite clean here..."

In fact, this guy thinks he has been drinking too much these past few days, and he feels guilty, fearing that his wife might mention such a thing casually when writing a letter to the grandma and eldest father at home...

Of course, the most important thing is that Princess Jianning is now more than three months pregnant, and the smell of alcohol is the worst.

"Ah, by the way, who did you say came just now, County Sheriff Xiao, right? Where is he now..."

Wang Li felt guilty and did not dare to continue to argue on this issue, so he quickly changed the subject.

"I'm afraid you'll lose your temper after drinking too much, so I've already asked someone to come to the front hall for tea..."

Wang Li gently squeezed his wife's fleshy little hand.

"Madam, please go to the backyard to rest. I will go to the front to see Sheriff Xiao——"

Xiao He and Wang Li are now considered old friends.

Wang Li was not here, so he was drinking tea leisurely by himself. When he saw Wang Li rushing in with a red face and a face smelling of alcohol, he smiled calmly and stood up, looking very familiar. Say hello.

"General Wang, you've been enjoying yourself a lot lately. Did you drink some more?"

Wang Li ignored Xiao He's teasing and joked, walked to the opposite side of Xiao He, sat down, picked up the teapot, and poured himself a cup of tea. He picked it up and wanted to pour it into his mouth, but he almost got burned. , then put down the cup in embarrassment and looked at Xiao He.

"Chief Xiao, I'm here today. Could it be that you have some orders..."

Xiao He smiled and shook his head.

"I'm just taking a break today, and I'm bored by myself. I heard that you bought a cart of fine wine from the emperor's grandson. I wanted to get some glory from you, but I didn't expect that I haven't seen you yet. You are alone. People actually drank it..."

Wang Li couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

"Chief Xiao, your nose is quite long——"

After saying that, Wang Li immediately gave orders to everyone around him.

"Go and tell the chef to prepare a few specialty side dishes. This general will not return until he is drunk with Governor Xiao today!"

The chefs here at Wang Li were all hired from Zhao Ying. Their cooking skills are superb, not inferior to those of the chefs at Tianxiang Tower. Several small dishes are made exquisitely and deliciously.

"The general will still enjoy it——"

Xiao He happily picked up a piece of braised mutton and stuffed it into his mouth. With just one bite, the fat and tender soup immediately overflowed and filled his entire mouth.

"It's really delicious—"

Although Xiao He's chef also studied with Wang Li's master for a few days, the food he cooked was still far behind.

"What kind of delicacies will become stale if you eat them too many times..."

Wang Li, on the other hand, was quite ignorant of the taste of food. He simply picked up some cold cucumbers with chopsticks, and then lost much interest in eating. He just drank with his wine glass.

When Xiao He saw this, a subtle smile flashed in his eyes. As Wang Li's good friend, how could he not know Wang Li's thoughts? This guy has all his thoughts engraved on his forehead.

Ever since the envoy for General Liu Jifeng of Zhenyuan passed by here, he had become mentally ill and would hide at home and drink alone when he had nothing to do.

It would be weird if you couldn't guess it yourself.

"Speaking of new things, I actually tried something new a few days ago..."

Having said this, Xiao He put down his wine glass and looked at Wang Li, who was already a bit drunk, with a smile.

"General Wang, you have been in Hexi for so long, have you ever heard of tsampa and yak meat..."

The name Zanba was really unfamiliar to Wang Li. He didn't hear it clearly for a while and asked subconsciously.

"What did you just say..."

"Tsampa——"

Xiao He smiled and repeated.

"The unique delicacies of the Qiang tribe next door are made from the local highland barley. They have a solid texture and are extremely chewy. They taste with a unique fragrance and have a unique flavor. If paired with the local specialty yak meat, , that would be even more unique in the world..."

At this point, he even twitched his Adam's apple in a serious manner, making an expression of endless aftertaste.

When Wang Li heard this, he immediately became energetic.

"Are you talking about the Qiang people next to us? Didn't you say that the weather there is so cold and the environment is so bad that the people can hardly survive? Why do you mean that there are many good things in there?"

Seeing that he was finally interested, Xiao He was no longer in a hurry. He raised his chopsticks and picked up a piece of mutton fried with green onions in a leisurely manner, put it in his mouth, and chewed it with an aftertaste on his face.

Wang Li felt itchy in his heart and wanted to help him swallow it.

Seeing that Wang Li was already leaning over curiously, Xiao He said cheerfully.

"Everything is born in a chosen place. Although the place where the Qiang people live is high and difficult for ordinary people to reach, it is precisely because of this that many rare treasures that are rarely seen in ordinary places grow - the tsampa I just mentioned. And yaks are just the tip of the iceberg..."

When Wang Li heard this, he nodded slightly thoughtfully, and looked at Xiao He with a sudden smile.

"Chief Xiao, I suddenly mentioned this, I don't know what the purpose is..."

Seeing his expression, Xiao He knew that this guy had guessed his thoughts, so he immediately laughed and put down his wine glass.

"General Wang, if you want credit, don't..." (End of Chapter)
