Hanhou

Chapter 222

The new version of the map was hung in the publicity room. Liu Che was overjoyed, and ordered the eunuchs to spread the word of mouth, calling the prime minister, the general and the royal doctor to share the appreciation.

Several bigwigs were called into the palace, and when they saw the newly drawn map, they were exactly the same as Liu Che's, and they were all pleased with the expanded territory from north to south.His eyes swept over the part that Zhao Jia deliberately circled, and he frowned at the same time.

"This place is adjacent to South Vietnam, presumably it can also grow rice?"

After hearing these words and watching the expressions of several people, Zhao Jia immediately understood that his vision would soon become a reality.

As long as Chang’an continues to expand its borders, and the bosses insist on leaving no blanks on the map and occupying land everywhere, the boundary markers of the Han Dynasty will be pushed outward quickly, and all the bows and arrows will be pointed at Han soil. It has belonged to China since ancient times. possible.

This map is currently limited to Asia and is not complete.

If a map of the world is drawn and hung in the Weiyang Palace, will it stimulate the emperor and the big bosses of the Manchu Dynasty to continue westward after pushing the Huns horizontally, crush Anxi, march into Europe, and face the Roman Empire?Or go south to wipe out the body poison, continue to march towards the ocean, and occupy Malacca first?

With the force value of the Han Dynasty, it is really impossible to say where the army will go to solve the logistics problem.

If that day really comes, Zhao Jiadayi said awe-inspiringly that he would be willing to take the blame.

The so-called scapegoat, you will get used to it if you carry it behind your back.

Knowing the details of the Southern Expedition, confirming the newly added territory, and knowing that there are more fertile lands to be "developed", Liu Che was overjoyed, and ordered a banquet in the palace to invite all the officials to drink together.

Fine wine was prepared at the banquet, not to mention the princes and kings in Beijing, envoys from the Western Regions and the Huns were also honored to attend.

Knowing that the Han Dynasty conquered Nanyue and Minyue and further expanded its territory, the Huns felt bad.Everyone in the Western Regions was more determined to hug their thighs, pouring out good words without money, and wanted to be Liu Che's leg pendants.

After the banquet, rewards were distributed to the army one after another.

Although he has the merit of expanding the territory, Zhao Jia is still not enough to be a Marquis in terms of the leader.The title is promoted to at least the highest rank, and the official position is still the school lieutenant. Like Han Yan, he is added as a servant, able to walk in Weiyang Palace, and become a close minister of the emperor.

Among the lieutenants of the Siying, Cao Shi has the title passed down from his father and ancestors, while Wei Yue and Li Danghu are like Zhao Jia, and need to continue to work hard for the title.

Wei Qing, Zhao Puonu, Gongsun Ao and Zhao Xin, who accompanied the army to fight, were awarded knighthoods for their meritorious service.

Especially Wei Qing, during the attack on Panyu, temporarily replaced the team leader who was shot in Liuya, and led dozens of infantry to kill hundreds of enemy troops, showing courage and strategy.

After the war, Wei Qing was rewarded for his meritorious service, and Wei Qing was awarded the rank of doctor and entered the ranks of scholars.The eldest son of Wei was also beheaded, and the family of the Wei family was changed. The former family boy of the Marquis of Pingyang became a family of scholars with two nobles.

Aunt Wei straightened her back in the house, spoke with a smile, and walked with wind.People who proposed to Wei Ru and Wei Shaoer almost broke through the threshold.

Huo Qubing's biological father heard the news and brought half a mutton across the door. He didn't dare to mention Nawei Shaoer as a concubine.

"Do your Spring and Autumn Dream!"

Wei Shao'er was furious, and before Huo Zhongru finished speaking, he kicked him out of the house with a hammer.Feeling puzzled, he turned around and brought out a basin of cold water, and poured it on him in the street.

"Go quickly, don't come again!"

Huo Qubing broke away from Aunt Wei's hand, ran over with his calves, stood in front of Wei Shao'er, clenched his fists, and waved it vigorously a few times, and said softly, "Don't bully my mother!"

With thick eyebrows and big eyes, tiger head and tiger brain, pretending to be fierce, but very clever and cute.

Seeing Huo Qubing, Huo Zhongru didn't care to wipe off the water stains on his face, so he was about to speak.Wei Shao'er pulled Huo Qubing back, and closed the courtyard door with a bang, no matter how much Huo Zhongru knocked, he never opened it again.

Wei's eldest son and several comrades came from a distance, but failed to recognize Huo Zhongru at a glance, thought it was some scoundrel, immediately rolled up his sleeves, and stepped forward to give him a good beating.

As a junior official in the county, Huo Zhongru has some skills, and he is by no means too weak to be vulnerable.However, those who beat him were all soldiers, who had experienced fighting on the battlefield, and their strikes were black and ruthless, and they were knocked down to the ground in two or three hits, and they only had time to cover their heads and curl up their bodies, so there was no chance to fight back.

After the beating was almost done, the eldest son of Wei motioned for the others to stop, unintentionally killing someone.Recognizing who was being beaten, he said angrily: "Go quickly! Don't think my sister can be bullied, if you dare to come to the door again, I will kill you!"

After Huo Zhongru was driven away, the eldest son of Wei stepped forward and called for the door.

Hearing his voice, Wei Shao'er just opened the door latch. Huo Qubing rushed into Wei's eldest son's arms like a calf, and said excitedly, "Uncle!"

The eldest son of Wei laughed loudly, threw Huo Qubing up twice, and then threw it to his comrades.Being tossed back and forth by several soldiers, Huo Qubing wasn't afraid at all, instead he laughed excitedly.

"Hao Erlang, you will grow up like two uncles!"

While the soldiers were chatting and joking, there was a large cart parked outside the door, and someone said that it was entrusted by Wei Qing to bring silk cloth and mutton to the family.

Hearing Wei Qing's name, Wei Bu and Wei Guang ran over first, followed by the eldest son Wei.The movement attracted the left and right neighbors, who couldn't help being envious when they saw the silk mutton being unloaded from the car.

When the things were almost moved, a girl stepped forward, saluted Mrs. Wei, and handed out a flat and long wooden box.

The young girl has a slim figure and a beautiful appearance. When she smiles, her brows and eyes are curved, and her voice is as clear as an oriole.

"Meet the elders."

"well!"

Wei Wei took the wooden box and carefully looked at the girl, the more she looked at it, the more she liked it.Guessing what she was thinking, the girl smiled slightly, pulled out her grasped hand with a little force, and took out two smaller wooden boxes, and handed them to Wei Ru and Wei Shao'er respectively.

Wei's eldest son took the opportunity to pull Aunt Wei, and explained in a low voice: "Mum, this girl comes from Captain Zhao's mansion and is engaged."

Hearing this, Mrs. Wei showed regret.

Wei Juan saw that his smile did not change, and all the gifts had been delivered, so he took his leave and boarded the carriage, and turned to go home.

Wei Qing brought gifts for his female family members, even if they are ordinary, hairpins and hairpins are naturally inappropriate for the same robes.I couldn't get away because of military affairs, and Wei's eldest son was not in the camp. It happened that Wei Juan came to see Gongsun Ao and asked her to bring it back.

Not to mention how the Wei family closed the door, how happy Wei Wei took the eldest son, Wei Juan drove the carriage home, and soon went to the north city of the city, intending to buy some cloth and sew two inner robes for Gongsun Ao.

A beautiful girl walking on the street will naturally attract a lot of attention.

In the wine shop facing the street, a few dandies were half-drunk, when they saw Wei Juan passing by, they giggled, and immediately surrounded them with drinks.

"Good girl, just take a step slowly."

Seeing the dandy's move, the passers-by all showed disgust, and they were even more worried about the girl.

Wei Juan was stopped halfway, no fear was seen on his face, his eyes swept over several people, his red lips were slightly drawn, beautiful and quiet, but there was a strange aura hidden.

"Is the young master stopping me?"

"Self." A dandy stretched out his hand with a smile, and was about to press Wei Juan's shoulder.

Wei Juan turned sideways, and the dandy's hand naturally fell through.

If you are more alert, you will definitely feel wrong when you see the girl behave like this.

It's a pity that a few people were drunk and fascinated by sex, thinking that Wei Juan was just a commoner woman who was just trying to calm down.

"Good girl, why don't you come home with me, dress in silk, silk, gold and jade, live in a luxurious house and eat delicious food, it's far better than living in a shabby house and managing your family's finances." The dandy said while trying to get his hands dirty.

Wei Juan took half a step back, took off the hairpin, and handed it forward.

The tip of the wooden hairpin is extremely sharp, no less than the edge of a knife.Following the girl's strength, she pierced the dude's palm on the spot and cut a bloody mouth.

Seeing the other party holding the wound and shouting, Wei Juan secretly thought it was a pity.To change the place, instead of making a slit, directly penetrate the palm of the hand, and then turn left and right twice to completely abolish the hand.

"If you dare to hurt me, grab her and beat her to death!" Dandy was in unbearable pain, pointing at Wei Juan and yelling in hatred.

The accompanying health servants were about to charge forward, when the sound of breaking wind suddenly came, two wooden arrows with their arrows removed flew over the heads of the crowd, just in time to stop them.

Immediately afterwards, a slender, handsome young man stepped aside from the crowd and stood in front of Wei Juan.

The young man did not hold the bow, but he had three wooden arrows in his hand, and the arrows were also removed.There were only two wooden arrows just now, obviously he threw them with bare hands.

Blown by the wind, most of the dudes were sober.One of them had been to Xinying, and although he ran back home within a day, he firmly remembered Zhao Jia's face.

Recognizing who it is, he hurriedly grabbed his companion and said in a low voice: "This person is not easy to mess with, let's go!"

"Regardless of who he is, how could she just let her hurt me!" The injured dandy shouted unwillingly, "Whoever dares to stop me, I'll kill them all!"

"No, no!" The pulling man was sweating profusely, hearing the wounded man's speechless words, and even ordered someone to arrest Zhao Jia, he was even more anxious, "Brother Zhou Yang, no!"

"Why not? My ancestor is a Marquis, my aunt is the former Huainan Queen, and my father is an official to the prefect. I..."

Before this person could finish speaking, his companions covered his mouth and grabbed his arms.

Obviously, more than one person recognized Zhao Jia.

This person in front of him not only has outstanding military exploits, but also has a good reputation for torture.

There are rumors in Chang'an that he had good friends with Yanmen Shouzhi when he was in Bianjun, and was appreciated by Lieutenant Ning Cheng after he entered Beijing.Now that they have returned from the Southern Expedition, they have made great achievements in attacking South Vietnam and expanding the territory. With a few of them, it is simply courting death to face such a ruthless person!

The injured dandy pulled away his companion's hand, and in anger, he yelled curses with the strength of alcohol.

"My surname is Zhou Yang, and I'm related to Huainan Palace by marriage. Your ancestor is Zhou Yanghou?"

Cao Shi's voice resounded in the crowd.

The dandies turned their heads and saw the three people who came one after another, their faces turned ashen.

Li Danghu held down the hilt of his sword with one hand, looked up and down at the few dandies, with a malicious smile.Wei Yue lowered the corners of her mouth. She was dressed in a silk belt, tall and straight, with a warm temperament, but a pair of eyes that made one's heart chill.

Cao Shi looked at several dandies, especially those who were injured and clamoring, raised his eyebrows and said, "It really is Zhou Yang's family? Zhou Yangyou is the lieutenant of Hedong County, not in Chang'an, are you his son?"

The injured dude didn't know Zhao Jia, but he knew Cao Shi.The anger gradually dissipated and my mind became calm.Looking at Zhao Jia again, guessing his identity, his expression changed instantly.

"I……"

Realizing who he had offended, the dandy grumbled bitterly.

"My eyesight is clumsy, and I can't recognize noble people."

Dandy bent down decisively to make amends.

No matter how reluctant he is, the four people in front of him must be offended by him, even if his father is in front of him, he still has to weigh it.

Seeing him subdued, Cao Shi didn't speak, but turned to look at Zhao Jia.

"Hodor, what should we do about this?"

Zhao Jia looked at Wei Juan, the girl smiled slightly, and said, "Listen to your order."

"Apologize to the silk girl, let this matter go."

"Alright." Cao Shi looked at the dude, raised his eyebrows and said, "Can you hear me clearly?"

Dandy nodded repeatedly, held his bleeding hand, apologized to Wei Juan in person, and then left dejectedly amidst the laughter of the crowd.

After walking a certain distance, the injured dandy looked back, with a gloomy look in his eyes.He used his injury as an excuse to say goodbye to his companions, wrote a letter immediately after returning home, and sent someone to rush to Hedong County, and handed it to Zhou Yangyou, the current county lieutenant.

"Remember, send it to my father personally, and explain what happened today."

"promise!"

After the healthy servant left, Wandan sat alone in the room, raised his bandaged left hand, put his fingers together, looked at the bright red soaked through the cloth towel, gritted his teeth and said: "Zhao Jia, today's shame, I will let you pay it back several times over!"
