"What is this made of, soft on the outside and waxy on the inside."
After yan Huansha retreated, Jiang Yan picked up a piece of dessert placed on the table and put it in her mouth.
"It is ground into powder with bean extract, boiled with natural honey, wrapped in soft noodles and steamed." Zhao Huaizhong said.
Jiang Ling turned to the topic and said, "I'll bring you something, guess what?"
You went back to the ancestral land of the Shennong clan and just came back after asking for money. Your master told me earlier... Zhao Huaizhong also knew that besides Jiang Yan, Mu Yangjing must have also greeted the Shennong clan.
Otherwise, with Jiang Yan's influence in the Shennong clan alone, he would never be able to get much from home.
After Liu Qi welcomed Jiang Yan back, he had quietly reported that Jiang Yan had brought six carts full of valuables.
Zhao Huaizhong had already considered this matter and asked Liu Qi to take the things first.
Although he was half-joking about the lack of food and money that day, Jiang Yan, including Mu Yangjing, were kindhearted, and it was obviously inappropriate to push back and forth to get property from hundreds of miles away.
Put it away first, if you have a chance later, you can double it and return it.
Besides, the Shennong clan is in the territory of Daqin. To some extent, they and Daqin have long since become a community of interests.
The Shennong clan also realized this, and allowed Jiang Yan to go backwards and take out so much wealth to serve Qin.
Zhao Huaizhong received the things, Jiang Yan was secretly delighted, and her pretty face was bright.
The two walked around freely in the Prince's Mansion.
Soon after, a servant came to report:
"Your Majesty is returning to the palace from Cuihua Mountain, please meet the prince over there."
Zhao Huaizhong and Jiang Yan went out of the Prince's Mansion together.
Jiang Yan took more than ten Shennong clansmen who helped her to deliver things to the Prince's Mansion to Huacaoju, while Zhao Huaizhong went to see King Zhuangxiang.
The night is beginning to fall.
Zhangtai Palace.
A girl who has just turned one year old, wearing a black skirt embroidered with light green vine stripes, is climbing up and down the steps in front of the palace.
The girl is quite cute, with big eyes and a sagging nose, with short chubby legs, and accidentally fell to the ground when climbing the steps, which startled the maids next to her, and was about to help her when Zhao Huaizhong's voice sounded. : "Let her get up on her own."
He walked into the courtyard of Zhangtai Palace from outside.
The **** the ground is Zhao Ying, the youngest daughter of King Zhuangxiang and Zhao Ji.
When she stood up from the ground with her **** pouted, she suddenly flashed black eyes and looked at Zhao Huaizhong. Zhao Ji, who was wearing a long black dress, also came out of the palace. Seeing her son, her eyes were filled with joy.
Niang three entered Zhangtai Palace together.
After not seeing him for half a month, King Zhuangxiang was sitting in the bedroom reading the bamboo scrolls, his face was slightly tired.
Zhao Huai subconsciously looked back at Zhao Ji, his face radiant.
Dad's human relations skills have been practiced in vain... Zhao Huaizhong greets King Zhuangxiang.
"When the widow is not in these days, I am very relieved to learn that Wang'er is diligent in government affairs." King Zhuangxiang encouraged.
He immediately started a conversation with Zhao Huaizhong about his departure for half a month.
The two talked about state affairs, and it was not until late at night that Zhao Huaizhong returned to the residence in the palace and went to bed and rested.
August is rainy.
When arrived, the thunder was faint, and soon rain fell.
Lightning lit up the night sky.
The northern border of Zhao State, border defense.
A middle-aged general stood on the tower, wearing a dark Confucian shirt with dark red trim.
Standing on the tower, his body is as straight as a javelin, giving people a sense of firmness that is hidden and unshakable.
He stared silently at the wilderness north of the city.
The rain that falls from the sky drifts three feet above his head and slides down without dripping.
"It's raining so hard, please go back to rest." A young lieutenant, fully armored, stood behind him.
The middle-aged general is Li Mu, a famous general of Zhao State.
"The Xiongnu may make a surprise attack on the rainy night. You go down and prepare. If there is an abnormality, you can go out of the city on the west side and face the Xiongnu."
Li Mu's voice is full of Jin Ge's iron-blooded decisiveness, clean and clear:
"I asked for the deployment of soldiers from the Western Front to deal with the Huns. Can you reply?"
"I'm going to report this to the general."
The young lieutenant said: "The king said that the Qin people must be strictly guarded, and the soldiers on the western front must not be recruited. He also said that the generals should fight bravely, and when the Huns are driven away, they will be rewarded when they return to the capital."
Li Mu asked: "The emperor of Qin once had someone secretly send a letter, promising not to attack Zhao when the Huns attacked, and I also secretly played the king on this matter.
Can you mention it? "
Lieutenant General: "Your Majesty said that this must be the plan of the Qin Chu to confuse the general. The Qin people are stubborn, and they are not inferior to the Xiongnu in cruelty, so the general must not be fooled."
Li Mu fell silent and stopped talking.
——
The next morning.
The wind and rain receded, and the rising sun was born.
When Zhao Huaizhong attended the court meeting, he thought that King Zhuangxiang would return to the court and he would return to the old place to stand.
Unexpectedly, King Zhuangxiang signaled that he was still sitting in the position where he was in custody of the state for the past few days, and said to the ministers: "Wang'er handles state affairs properly, and then sit beside the widow and discuss state affairs with the ministers."
"Promise!" All the ministers responded in unison.
Zhao Huaizhong returned to China for two years, and there is no doubt about the position of the state reserve.
Some courtiers are already considering longer-term plans, and are ready to gradually lean towards Zhao Huaizhong.
After the dynasty disbanded, Zhao Huaizhong came to Ye Yufu, and the first thing he did was to receive the news that the Huns attacked Zhao:
"The Huns launched an offensive last night and used light cavalry to harass the entry. However, Zhao general Li Mu had long been prepared, and dispatched more than ten thousand Zhao troops under his command to attack head-on. More than five thousand of the Xiongnu pioneers were defeated by the Zhao army, killing nearly a thousand enemies and capturing them. Small victory."
Zhao Huaizhong said calmly: "Continue to pay attention to the trends north of Zhaojing. If there is any news, please let me know at any time."
In the afternoon of that day, the clerk responsible for sending and receiving news from Ye Yufu came to report again:
"The Xiongnu Rangers were dispersed into a small team of every 100 people, a squadron of 300 people, and a large team of 500 people. A total of more than 100 units spread out from each other and invaded the northernmost county in Zhaojing."
"This is the Xiongnu's usual tactic, like a pack of wolves hunting, seemingly scattered, but they can quickly gather at the whistle to support each other."
"Li Mu also predicted this, and launched a strategy of clearing the wild in the surrounding villages and towns, gathering the people of the villages and towns to enter the nearby big cities.
The Huns were proficient in ranger tactics, but they were not good at sieging cities, and their raids could only last until the end of September at most.
Li Mu gathered the villagers into the city, which could effectively prevent the Huns from looting the Zhaojing population and reduce losses such as casualties. "
In the hall, Fan Qingzhou was also there.
He was looking at the map, outlining the location and marching route of the Xiongnu attacking Zhao:
"Based on Li Mu's past achievements, he should take the initiative to attack. When the Huns entered Zhao and lost their depth on the grasslands, they should be able to cut up the scattered small groups of Xiongnu soldiers and eat them bit by bit.
instead of being defensive. "
Fan Qingzhou analyzed: "But King Zhao has always been suspicious and strictly guarded against the border between Daqin and Yan.
In my opinion, Li Mu's use of troops this time, his subordinates probably lacked enough troops to take care of the entire Dai County in the northern border of the Zhao people, so he took the trend of consolidating and defending. "
Zhao Huaizhong said: "Li Mu should have other considerations... We are watching from the sidelines, talking more is useless, and let's see how the situation develops."
said again: "The secret war armor and soldiers that Lao Sikong has researched, how many are currently equipped in the mansion."
Fan Qingzhou said: "The Ministry of Construction has made every effort to rush to work. At present, the total number is nearly 1,000, with a total of more than 970 pieces of armor."
"Less than a thousand..."
At this time, Liu Qi came in from outside the palace and said, "Your Majesty, the banquet in the palace is ready. The banquet will be opened at dusk, and everyone invited has gone to inform."
Ps: ask for a ticket, ask for a ticket, ask for a ticket
How can you guess that the seed is corn, peanut and longan, and actually there are wolfberry and goat weed... Who are you going to use it for?
