Mythical big man, champion soldier saint

Chapter 273 Wang Chang'an, Ma Rulong 【Ticket Request】

The moon was shining like frost, and the sky had just darkened.

Huo Qubing returned to the city from the military mansion on the outskirts of the city by car, got off at the door of his house, and saw seven or eight carts parked outside the mansion.

The shape of these carriages and the decorations on the covering cloth of the carriages are slightly different from the common styles in Chang'an.

It's a driver from out of town.

The horses that pull the carts are also the kind of horses that are not tall, but have strong legs, well-coordinated shoulders and abdomen, and nimble and nimble horses.

Shu horse.

It is a person from Shu.

Huo Qubing saw these cars, they were all driven by two horses, the shafts were thick, leaving obvious ruts on the ground.Double-layer beams and columns are added to the base of the car to ensure safety and stability.

This kind of car is not for everyone.

Huo Qubing glanced at several cars, and combined with the situation in his own house, he deduced the identity of the visitor and the reason for coming.

"Is there someone at home?"

The steward of the outer courtyard, Yan Qi, waited for Huo Qubing to come back at the gate of the mansion.

There are also two servants waiting on Liu Qing's side. They are in their thirties and are currently in charge of the internal affairs of the Hou's mansion.

"Yes, from Shu, because of the Zhuo family."

Huo Qubing walked into the house, Yan Qi said beside him.

"Which branch of the Zhuo family is here?"

On the other side of Huo Qubing were two maidservants brought by Liu Qing, and continued: "The former general of Shu County Zhonglang, Wen Yuanling, and his wife. There is also the head of the main branch of the Shu County Zhuo Clan.

The princess also just came back from the embroidered clothes, in the front hall. "

Former Shu County Zhonglang General, Wen Yuanling is one of the most famous people in this era.

He was called the Four Masters of Han Fu by later generations, "Fu Sheng" and "Ci Zong".

Write down "prosperity must worry about decline, safety must be prepared for danger" "There is a beautiful person, and I will never forget it when I see it."I don't see you in a day, thinking like crazy' is a famous saying through the ages.

He is the husband of Zhuo Wenjun and Sima Xiangru, the emperor's pen pal.

At this time, the main hall of the Hou Mansion was brightly lit.

There are more than ten people sitting in the hall.

Accompanied by the maids, Liu Qing took the main seat, with a slight smile on his face.

She lowered her head to the left and right, and sitting on one side was a big fat man, dressed in a rich manner, with sweeping eyes, and shrewdness inside.

On the other side is Sima Xiangru, who has left his name through the ages.

Sima Xiangru was praised by the emperor for his "Zixu Fu" in his early years, and he was summoned to the palace to meet him.

He went hunting with the emperor to make a fu, and was appointed as a Lang Guan.

Later, he paid homage to General Zhonglang and served as an envoy to Bashu.

This man is proficient in both civil and military affairs, and he has contributed to the pacification of the Southwestern Barbarians, as well as to the trade and circulation of the Southwest border. He is also a good hand in local governance.

He also has the official position of Wenyuan Ling, which is to guard the cemetery of the first emperor. It is an idle job, but its status is not low.

He was born with a weak body, but it was still difficult to get rid of his chronic illnesses as he practiced higher and higher. He resigned from office and went home to recuperate because of illness many times.

However, all of his achievements above are not as good as the fact that he is a scumbag through the ages, and they are clearly remembered by future generations.

Sima Xiangru was 57 years old at the time, with a white face and a short beard, and a thin, ordinary figure.His shoulders are slightly stooped, except for his gentle demeanor and restrained eyes, it is hard to tell that he is Sima Xiangru, who is the number one contemporary poet and fu, and whose talent is almost equal to that of Dong Zhongshu.

The big fat man opposite him is his wife and father, Zhuo Wangsun, a contemporary iron smelter.

Zhuo Wangsun looked down on this 'slutty man' who abducted his daughter and ran away.Later, the emperor valued it, and the relationship eased slightly, but if you don't like it, you just don't like it.

Zhuo Wangsun squinted his eyes and talked eloquently with Sima Xiangru, who was chatting happily with everyone.

Had it not been for the champion Hou and His Royal Highness Princess who came to visit today, Zhuo Wangsun would never have come with Sima Xiangru.

Liu Qing also knew the name of Sima Xiangru because of his Ci Fu, so he personally entertained him.

At this time, Huo Qubing, who was in military uniform, came in from outside the hall surrounded by the crowd.
Seeing him coming back, Zhuo Wangsun, Sima Xiangru, and a middle-aged woman beside him stood up at the same time.

Sima Xiangru and Zhuo Wangsun left their seats indiscriminately to show respect.

The two took a few steps forward, leaned over and saluted:
"Shu County Zhuo, Zhuo Wangsun has met the champion!"

"I went to court with Sima Xiangru, but unfortunately I was not able to follow Lord Hou when I was in good health. I fought in all directions, defeated the Xiongnu, and attacked the barbarians, so as to promote my invincible prestige as a great man."

Sima Xiangru's attitude is sincere: "Although I am in Shu, I have heard that Lord Hou has won hundreds of battles, and the Huns were terrified, and the souls of the barbarians were lost.

This time, Lord Hou defeated the Xiongnu in the Western Regions and opened up thousands of miles of land.I only regret not being able to come to Chang'an as soon as possible to see Lord Hou face to face. "

Sima Xiangru speaks eloquently, he licks Huo Qubing's achievements when meeting, and he is eloquent.

Huo Qubing is not disgusted with people who love to cater.

In essence, everyone is serving the strong and bullying the weak. Otherwise, why everyone would be terrified when they see the emperor, and it is not because of the difference in status, the emperor is 'strong' enough.

Next to Sima Xiangru's seat, there was a woman in a water-green white dress, younger than him, with a lingering charm, a pair of slender phoenix eyes, and lively eyebrows. She was Zhuo Wenjun, who was famous in history.

She is also a well-known talented woman, and she is willing to be an author who will never leave her heart.

"Zhuo Wenjun has seen Lord Hou."

It is worth mentioning that Zhuo Wenjun, Sima Xiangru and his wife, in the line of Confucianism, have very high practice, the level of heaven and man.

A group of people sat down again.

Liu Qing said beside Huo Qubing, "The Zhuo family is connected with each other, and the Zhuo family in Shu County is Zhuo Huai's family.

They knew that Zhuo Huai was missing, so they came here specially. "

Zhuo Huai disappeared, and the Zhuo Clan sent someone to involve the internal property and business distribution of the Zhuo Clan.

"Qing Ke has been living in Lord Hou's mansion these days, and we are all grateful for Lord Hou's grace. We will handle the Zhuo family's affairs properly and will not let Qing Ke be wronged." It was Zhuo Wenjun who spoke.

Within the Zhuo family, she is Zhuo Qingke's aunt.

Zhuo Qingke was sitting beside Zhuo Wenjun, charming and charming, wearing a long fruit green dress, hanging her head in silence.

She is quite close to this aunt, and she studied with her for a period of time when she was a child.

When Zhuo Wenjun came to Chang'an, Zhuo Qingke had a backer.

That big fat Zhuo Wangsun came to see Huo Qubing, he was not in a hurry to show off, he drank tea with his head down and observed silently.

A group of people chatted in the mansion until the night was getting late, and then got up to leave.

Zhuo Qingke still lived in the Hou Mansion, no one mentioned to let her move out, and left with Zhuo Wenjun.

After leaving the gate of the mansion, Zhuo Wangsun got into his own car, greeted his daughter Zhuo Wenjun and gave a few orders, and the car and horse left first.

The Zhuo family has its own property in Chang'an.

Zhuo Wenjun turned around and boarded the car, and asked Sima Xiangru:

"Before my husband came, I asked Qing Ke to stay in the Hou's mansion and not to mention taking her away. Is it Father's intention or yours?"

"We all feel that Qing Ke should stay."

Sima Xiangru said: "How do you feel about meeting the champion today?"

Zhuo Wenjun smiled: "Where is the husband talking, this Lord Hou has made great achievements, a military strategist, and a sharp edge. How can I be qualified to evaluate it."

Sima Xiangru said: "Isn't this already a good evaluation?

Huo Hou is just a general who has never been born in the world. There is no one in the past who has made such extraordinary achievements, and it is rare for him to come later. "

Zhuo Wenjun had wonderful eyes: "So my husband and my father want to see if there is a chance for Qing Ke to stay in the Hou's mansion and become a concubine for others? I, Zhuo, will climb up a family to show my relatives!"

Sima Xiangru said: "I think Her Highness the Princess has a lot of compassion and care for Qing Ke, and she is not a jealous person.

If she can get Master Hou to pay attention to her, she will be fine in every aspect.

Qing Ke is also suffering, Zhuo Huairuo is really in trouble.In her branch, her eldest brother died early, and her father suffered another disaster.There are many people coveting her family's wealth. If there is no strong person to take care of her, her life will be miserable in the future. "

Zhuo Wenjun nodded slightly, but didn't say anything.

……

In the Hou mansion, after everyone left, Zhuo Qingke went back to the small courtyard where she lived, staring at the lights in a daze.

And Liu Qing held Huo Qubing's arm, turned back to the inner house, and said while walking:
"Before my husband returned, Sima Xiangru improvised an impromptu poem, praising her husband for defeating the enemy. It was amazing. This man's talent is quite rare."

Huo Qubing smiled and said, "But it doesn't change the fact that he's a scumbag."

Liu Qing blinked her delicate eyes: "What is a scumbag?"

"Sima Xiangru is."

Her Royal Highness seems to understand but not understand.

The night is fleeting.

In the early morning, there were thunderstorms and drizzle.

Huo Qubing came to the Palace of the Forbidden Army after leaving court, sat in the palace and watched the raindrops outside the window, hitting the fallen leaves of the vegetation.

If you look far away, you can see that among the trees and trees, there are buildings with corners and cornices hundreds of feet away. It is the Xiuyiliang Garden.

The Forbidden Army Hall and Embroidered Clothes are both to the north of Weiyang Palace, not far away.

A beautiful woman, wearing a rouge-colored dress, sitting by the third-floor window of the main hall of Liangyuan, is Her Royal Highness the Princess.

The couple looked at each other in the air and couldn't help smiling.

Huo Qubing heard movement behind him, turned his head and saw the burly captain Xiao Qisheng leading the way in from the door, followed by Dong Zhongshu, Taichang Zhouping, and Yushi Li Cai.

"Lang Zhong Ling!"

"Master, Yushi, too often!"

Everyone bowed to each other and then took their seats.

"Today, the lords of several countries in the Western Regions will arrive in Chang'an. Your Majesty arranged for me to go out to welcome you as a show of courtesy." Taichang Zhou Ping said.

The sooner the rulers of the countries in the Western Regions came to Chang'an to meet the emperor, the more courtesies and preferential treatment they would receive.

For example, Kucha and Gumo who are about to enter the city and arrive in Chang'an, as well as the lords of the surrounding Wensu, Shule and other countries.

They were the first batch, and the Han Dynasty sent guards of honor to meet them.

Those who come later will not have this treatment.

At this stage, those who are still on the sidelines and do not want to come may still be beaten and greeted with a big mouth.

Li Cai, Dong Zhongshu and Zhou Ping are the leaders of the honor guard.

The Lord of the Western Regions coming to Chang'an to meet the Holy Spirit is destined to be famous in history.

Dong Zhongshu and Li Cai, all dressed in official robes, came to look for Huo Qubing and were going to go with the Imperial Army.

"Is Lang Zhongling not going?"

"Ah."

Huo Qubing nodded slightly, and said to Xiaoqisheng: "You command two thousand forbidden troops, and go with the censor and master to welcome the rulers of several countries including Qiuci into Chang'an."

Dong Zhongshu and the others left in a hurry.

From the end of June, the Han Dynasty comprehensively promoted the construction of the Northwest, and a large number of craftsmen, hard labor, and various materials entered and exited the border.

People from various clans have also gone to the northwest to conduct surveys and select the site for the horse farm.

Everything is advancing in an orderly manner.

Ru Bohu also sent people to the northwest, according to Huo Qubing's suggestion, to investigate the areas west and south of the Western Regions, and make arrangements for some things in advance.

After everyone left, Huo Qubing called Wang Yan, the chief secretary under his command:

"The captured Qingzheng tribe, the Mali of the Western Huns from the chieftain tribe, will the people you are looking for find it?"

Wang Yan responded skillfully: "Gao Bushi, two servants and friends, have been found. In the roster reported by the Hunxie Ministry, most of the Huns gave themselves my Han name, and among them were Gao Bushi, two servants and friends. people.

They stayed behind in the Northwest Hunxie Department and were on their way to Chang'an. "

Huo Qubing planned to train a group of generals.

Gao Bushi and his servants in history were all Huns. They became Huo Qubing's subordinates after they surrendered to the Han Dynasty.

Gao Bushi in history had already returned to Han during the Battle of Hexi.

But this side of the world has changed a lot. Now the Battle of Hexi is over a year ahead of schedule, and Gao Bushi has not yet surrendered.

After Huo Qubing came back, he arranged for someone to search for his name, and it was fruitful.

Next, he plans to make some adjustments to the military system of the imperial army and the way the generals advance.

Gathering good generals under your command is the most important step to a strong army.

After Wang Yan left, Huo Qubing sat by the window.The rain is getting heavier and heavier, and my thoughts are drifting away.

The shadow behind him suddenly moved, stretching out a dark and vigorous hand, it was Chi You.

When he came out of the imperial mausoleum, he sensed some changes in Chi You.

It has been silent for two days, and its power has been growing.

He reached out from the shadow and pointed to Huo Qubing's pawn pocket space.

Huo Qubing took out the oval-shaped thing that looked like a jade plate among the three items he got from the imperial mausoleum.

He also took out the Tianjin people from the Xiutu Department that he had snatched earlier.

It was these two artifacts that Chi You focused on.

Huo Qubing suspected that he obtained part of the military power of Jiuli, and awakened the immortal soul of Chi You, who was silent and fallen in ancient times, scattered in the sky and the earth, so he was so strong. Feng Ti and others.

Huo Qubing handed the Tianjin Man to Chi You.

The next moment, he separated from the shadow, the position of the head, and the facial features can be roughly distinguished.

His mouth opened slightly, making a sucking motion.

The golden man worshiping the sky shook violently, and the shamanic mantra engraved on the surface of the body flickered.

There seemed to be imperceptible screams, begging for mercy, murmurs and other sounds coming out of the golden man.

It's a pity that it's useless, the shamanic incantations on the surface of the golden man gradually faded and disappeared.

In the end, the entire golden man was weathered without leaving any traces.

Huo Qubing held the oval jade plate in his hand, thought for a while, and handed it to Chi You.

Suddenly, there was a breath on the jade board, which was absorbed by Chi You.

On the surface of the jade board, countless ancient characters and patterns began to emerge.

Huo Qubing stared at the jade plate in surprise, staring at the texture and handwriting emerging on its surface... This is what the Yellow Emperor left behind!

----

Chang'an suburbs.

A team of chariots and horses approached from a distance in the rain.

The team is stretching, a group of 3000 Kucha, Gumo allied forces, protecting their lord, approaching Chang'an.

"In the past few days, we have come all the way, and we have seen several groups of Han troops heading northwest from Chang'an."

A car is driving, the Lord of Kucha said.

They came to Chang'an all the way, saw the Han people's team one after another, and rode their horses and whipped to the northwest.

Including Chen Qing, Yao Zhao and others led by Huo Qubing's orders, each took their troops and marched northwest.

It is windy and rainy, and the sky is slightly cool.

Kucha, Gumo and other national leaders all lifted the curtains of the car, looking at the majestic Chang'an City ahead, which is located in the rain.

A group of people have a strong sense of shock.

Dahan Chang'an, it is indeed a good weather!

Compared with the capitals of their countries in the Western Regions, the huge city of Chang'an is like the difference between a phoenix nest and a palm-sized bird's nest on a tree.

It is conceivable how shocking it was for the lords of the Western Regions to see them for the first time.

In July, Chang'an is like a mountain.Seen from a distance, the sky and momentum are both high.

Just as the lords of the country looked at Chang'an from afar, there was a sound of horseshoes, and the imperial army came out through the rain. The soldiers were like guns, and the horses were like dragons!
