Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 144 As long as you have a horse, you are my best brother Liu Chang
Liu Chang held the bow in his left hand, the string in his right hand, the left hand was straight, and the right hand kept exerting force, the Han bow made a muffled sound, Liu Chang gritted his teeth, glared angrily, his right hand was getting further and further back, his face flushed red , his hands trembled, his arm muscles bulged, the bowstring was pulled like a full moon, constantly shaking, the surrounding sages widened their eyes, stood on both sides, covered their mouths, and dared not speak.

"boom!!"

Liu Chang suddenly let go of his right hand, and the arrow flew out like lightning. In the blink of an eye, it passed directly through the straw man not far away, and flew another distance before finally sticking in the soil.

Zhou Shengzhi shouted, and excitedly rushed to the straw man's body, pointed at the hole in the straw man's chest, and shouted, "Your Majesty is mighty!!"

"Your Majesty is mighty!!"

Everyone shouted, and Liu Chang proudly put away his bow.

"What does this mean? The few people followed Guanhou to learn bows and horses. A few days ago, I was riding a horse and shooting in his mansion, and an arrow almost shot through Guanhou's armor!"

Guan A nodded and said, "Yeah, it's true, my father is terrified. I don't dare to stand next to the wooden target anymore."

Liu Chang waved his hand and said, "This autumn hunt, the widows will participate as princes and kings, so you must be prepared!"

"Xiao Yan, you are responsible for driving for the widow! Zhou Yafu, from Fanshi, you two are short, so you are driving left and right!"

"Guan Ah, Zhou Jian, Lu Zhong, the three of you are responsible for loading the prey into the car!"

"Xiahouzao, Chen Mai, Lu Lu, Lu Tazhi, you all can ride horses, and then you will drive the prey for the widow!"

Hunting is the most important activity of the Han Dynasty. It has been like this since the pre-Qin period. When Liu Bang was still there, Chang Liu was not allowed to go with him, but now he is no longer a son, but a prince of the Han Dynasty. According to the ritual system, naturally Qualified to follow the emperor to hunt.

Liu Chang has always been looking forward to this day, so he has also made a lot of preparations.

He was instructing everyone when suddenly a servant came. Lu Lu hurried forward and chatted with the man a few words before hurriedly walking to Liu Chang's side, "Your Majesty, Father asked you to come over."

They are now playing in the backyard of Hou Jiancheng, because in the whole of Chang'an, Jiancheng Hou's mansion is the largest. Liu Chang holds a bow and is not afraid. He laughed and asked Lu Lu to guide him.Since my grandfather passed away, my uncle has not seen him for almost a year.

Liu Chang knew that he resented himself because of Lu Tai's affairs. Not only himself, he was also very dissatisfied with his mother, and now he doesn't come to Jiaofang Palace very much.

Lu Shizhi looked a lot more haggard than before, he no longer wore armor, his body was slightly hunched, and the flesh on his face was reduced, making him look sickly. He saw Liu Chang who came with Lu Lu. At that time, I was stunned for a while, and almost didn't recognize this Yoko.

However, after not seeing each other for a while, this Shuzi is already a head taller than Lu Lu, with a bulging body and a sturdy waist. Patrol your own territory, domineering sideways.

"uncle!!"

Liu Chang shouted with a smile, rushed to Lu Shizhi's side a few steps, raised his head and looked at him.

Lu Shizhi was stunned for a moment, "You Shuzi. You are almost as tall as your grandmother."

"Hahaha, uncle, I'm not an eight or nine-year-old child anymore. Naturally, I want to grow taller!"

Lu Shizhi looked a little melancholy, and said with emotion: "It's so fast, I still remember that you are as high as the ground." Lu Shizhi stretched out his hand and gestured, "If you don't look carefully, you can't see you, you are so big. "

"Uncle, I haven't seen you for a long time, are you all right? I have wanted to visit you several times, but your servant would not let me enter and divide our relationship, saying that you didn't want to see me, and then I treated each other with courtesy and tried my best. They finally stopped."

"No, I only have six slaves in total. You injured five of me, and the remaining one is an old man in his sixties. How dare you stop you?"

"Hey hey hey."

Liu Chang grinned silly, but Lu Shizhi tapped him on the head and asked angrily, "If you want to eat meat, wouldn't I give it to you? Why do you always come to steal it?"

"No, Uncle!" Liu Chang said solemnly: "My master Zhang Xiang once told me that a husband does not eat what he comes from. As a Xunzi, I must support myself."

Lu Shizhi couldn't help laughing. After a while, he asked, "Is your mother okay?"

"It's not very good. I've been talking about you all day. Although I don't say it, I have also asked me about your uncle many times. Uncle really shouldn't be alienating my mother, Lu Tai, and she's not dead. My brother has a good heart. It's just to demote him to a city rank and let Lu Chan come to inherit the title. Besides, Lu Tai is doing it by himself!"

"Uncle, I know that you are close to my uncle's father, but if Lu Tai does this, if he doesn't punish him now, he will smear his face sooner or later. If his uncle is still there and sees Lu Tai like that, I think he is sure. She will kill Lu Tai with her own hands! My mother is also thinking of the face of my eldest uncle."

Lu Shizhi was silent for a long time, then nodded, "Tell you grandma, I'll see her at night."

"Okay! Uncle, then I'm going to play. By the way, will my uncle bring a sheep over there?"

"Aren't you not going to eat what you want?"

"Oh, the master also taught me: the elders give it, and it cannot be dismissed."

"roll!"

Seeing Liu Chang flee, Lu Shizhi laughed, waved his hand, called a servant, and ordered, "Go kill a sheep! No, kill two! Forget it, I'm still a son. If you want to eat sheep, kill them all!"

After walking out of Jiancheng Hou's mansion, Liu Chang said goodbye to Qunxian, and called the three great relatives, ready to leave the city.

When he came to the gate of the city, he saw that the place was in chaos. Chang Liu hurriedly ordered Shiren to stop, and when he looked over, he happened to see several Hu people dressed in different clothes from the Han people, shouting something loudly with the guards. , their appearance is no different from the common people of the Han Dynasty.

This was the first time Liu Chang saw the Hu people. He was very curious. He hurriedly jumped out of the carriage, walked to the soldiers, and asked carelessly, "What happened?"

The soldier was about to reprimand, when he turned around and saw that it was King Tang, he hurriedly smiled and greeted Liu Chang, and then said: "These Hu people are holding the road guide to Shangjun and want to enter Chang'an. We are reporting Commander, they may feel that we are embarrassing them, so they are arguing"

Liu Chang nodded, pushed away the soldiers in front of him directly, and walked to the innermost place, with the three Shiren standing behind him.

Liu Chang looked over, but saw that those people were pulling a lot of horses. Most of these horses were tall and strong. Liu Chang stared straight at the war horses and shouted, "Luan Bu! Grab these horses for me. Buy it!"

When Luan Bu and Zhang Budo came forward, the barbarians were even more excited, shouting at them, protecting the horse with both hands.

"Are you Huns?"

Liu Chang asked.

The one in the lead knew some Chinese. He looked at the noble son in front of him and said, "Yuezhi!"

Liu Chang couldn't hear it clearly. He looked at Luan Bu and asked disdainfully, "What did this barbarian say?"

Luan Bu said in a low voice: "He is from the Yuezhi. Unlike the Xiongnu, the Yuezhi is slightly different from the Qiang. The Xiongnu does not allow a horse to enter the Han territory. and other places to sell horses, therefore, Modun once attacked them and let them suffer a big defeat.”

Liu Chang suddenly realized, looked at the man proudly, and asked, "Wu Na Yuezhi Man! Are you here to sell horses? How many horses do you have?"

The man's accent is very strange, and you need to listen carefully to hear it clearly: "I came here to sell horses. I escaped several robberies and slaughters by the Huns along the way, and then I came here. There used to be 40 horses, but now there are only [-] horses left. "multiple horses"

"Oh! My good brother! I bought your horse! I paid a lot of money! Come, come, you are a guest from afar, and I will invite you to dinner!"

Liu Chang grabbed the man's arm violently and pulled towards the city. The Hu man stared at Liu Chang in astonishment, and hurriedly refused, "I'm not going."

"Luan Bu! Take the money!"

"I don't want money. Food, iron, weapons.. for horses."

Liu Chang raised his head and said with a smile, "Then you have found the right person!"

"I, Chang Liu, my grandfather is the Emperor Taizu of the Great Han Dynasty, and my elder brother is the Emperor of the Great Han today! I am the King of the Great Han Tang, and the Shangjun you pass through is my territory! Food, iron, weapons, I have everything I can give you as many horses as you can! I can even send soldiers to protect your cargo from arriving safely!"

"I think you are a good person. If you are trading in Chang'an, someone will definitely bully you and be embarrassed by these soldiers, but trading with me in Tang Dynasty will never happen! I will do what I say!"

"How about it, good brother, do you want to trade with the Tang Dynasty?"
