Chapter 648

After Liu Xiu wiped out several rebels in the north, he became very powerful and directly led his troops to besiege Luoyang. After a great battle, Emperor Gengshi Liu Xuan was defeated and directly sued for peace. Liu Xiu named Liu Xuan the king of Changsha and made Luoyang his capital. Since then, the north has been initially determined.

In Luoyang Palace, Liu Xiu looked at the map and thought.

He has a grand mind, and if he wants to unify the great Han, other forces can take a break. The strongest force in front of him is the Jiang Hao tribe that occupies Chang'an.

Naturally, he also had a deep understanding of his opponent Liu Xiu. Jiang Hao was originally a military officer in the Western Regions Protectorate of the Han Dynasty. The Western Regions Protectorate was abolished. Jiang Hao made an announcement in the Western Regions. He killed King Youxian of the Huns in battle, and then married the Queen of Kucha and became the regent of Kucha.

It only took one year to develop to this level, which shows that this Jiang Hao is definitely a person who is well versed in strategy.

It is very surprising to see that since he captured Chang'an, there has been almost no movement for half a year.

What is he trying to do?

At this moment, a palace official walked in quickly and bowed in front of Liu Xiu, "Your Majesty, the general in front sent a letter, saying it was sent by Chang'an Jiang Hao."

Liu Xiu was startled, he was thinking about him, so he sent himself a letter, "Hurry up, ask someone to deliver it."

Not long after, a general in armor entered the palace, and when he saw Liu Xiu, he knelt down on one knee and saluted, "Greetings, Your Majesty, Jiang Hao, who occupies Chang'an, sent someone to send a letter to the front line, and the general sent me eight hundred miles to send it urgently." Come."

"Get up!"

Liu Xiu walked over and took the letter directly. After reading it, countless thoughts arose in his mind, "What is his purpose for asking me to go to the Tongguan River to see the scenery?"

Liu Xiu immediately called his courtiers and counselors over to discuss. Deng Yu was Liu Xiu's number one counselor and also Liu Xiu's teacher. After reading Jiang Hao's letter, he said: "Jiang Hao acts differently from ordinary people. Now We will become enemies, but he invites His Majesty to go to see the scenery, I don’t know what deep meaning is hidden in it.”

Chen Jun next to him said: "I'm afraid there is a fraud. Do you want to have a grand banquet? Don't pay attention to him. Now we have much more troops than him, just fight."

Du Mao shook his head, "Although he only has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, they are all elite cavalry. Most of us are infantry. If cavalry come and go, our army will inevitably suffer heavy losses."

"What if he wants to murder His Majesty?" Someone said.

Several important ministers expressed their thoughts, and finally looked at Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu listened to the arguments of the courtiers while thinking, and finally raised his head and said, "I decided to meet the regent of the Western Regions."

"Your Majesty, be careful."

Liu Xiu nodded, "The preparations that need to be made are naturally done, and my safety is up to the generals."

by the Yellow River,

The embankment is lined with trees, and under a big tree, there are carpets and two tables with beef and mutton and fine wine from the Western Regions.

Jiang Hao had already been waiting here, and Pang Xiong Su Mu was standing beside him, Jiang Hao looked at the surging river in the distance with his hands behind his back. At this time, the Yellow River was not as turbid as later generations, and people still called him Dahe. Until the Tang Dynasty, the upper reaches Due to excessive deforestation, soil erosion is becoming more and more serious, and the water of the Yellow River turns yellow, which is why it was changed into the Yellow River.

The three cavalry came slowly, Liu Xiu had already made a clear investigation, Jiang Hao came out of Chang'an this time, and only brought 500 personal guards, and did not deploy heavy troops around, but for the sake of safety, he still brought 1,000 troops come over.

Today, Liu Xiu didn't wear a crown suit, but wore a black gold-edged casual dress. Liu Xiu and Jiang Hao looked at each other, and they were looking at each other carefully.

I have to say that Liu Xiu is not bad looking, he is a good-looking person, he should be 30 years old this year, damn it, he is the emperor at the age of 30, and he is also the founding emperor. He is also the first person in history.

Jiang Hao opened his sky eyes to look at Liu Xiu, and was almost blinded by his titanium alloy dog ​​eyes. It was golden, and Liu Xiu's whole body was covered with a layer of solid gold, as if he had added a golden mask for body protection.

This luck is simply blessed by God.

Liu Xiu also looked at Jiang Hao again, and felt that Jiang Hao's appearance was not as burly as he imagined, but very elegant and handsome, but the heroic spirit between his brows could not be concealed, and people knew that he was naturally thinking at a glance Wisdom and perseverance.

"Emperor Jianwu, please sit down."

"Prince Regent, please too."

The two sat comfortably, and the two burly generals behind Liu Xiu took a few steps back and stood at the same distance as Pang Xiong and Su Mu, but their eyes were fixed on the two of them. other side.

"Emperor Jianwu wants to taste the wine and meat I prepared." Jiang Hao said with a smile.

Liu Xiu looked at the food on the table and said with a smile: "We must taste the fine wines and specialties of the Western Regions."

After speaking, he picked up the small knife placed beside him, cut off a piece of mutton and put it in his mouth, chewed it a few times and said, "Well, the taste is really delicious, but it's a bit spicy."

After speaking, he picked up the jade cup on the table and took a big sip of the wine.

"Ah~~, drinking and eating meat like this is not the style of you people from the Western Regions." Liu Xiu said with a smile.

Jiang Hao had to praise in his heart, he deserves to be Emperor Guangwu, only a few people can do it with such courage.

"Isn't Emperor Jianwu curious about my invitation to you?" Jiang Hao asked.

"Of course I'm curious, but I know, you'll naturally tell me when the time comes." Liu Xiu said calmly.

"What does Emperor Jianwu think of the world today?"

"Hehe, sooner or later it will be in my hands. It is a general trend for the big man to regain control of the world." Liu Xiu said confidently.

"Then when does Emperor Jianwu think we can unify?"

Now Liu Xiu was stopped by the question, looked at Jiang Hao after thinking for a while and said: "If you and I are enemies, it may not be possible in ten years, but if you and I are friends, it may be possible in five years."

Jiang Hao was very surprised by this answer, "I didn't expect Emperor Jianwu to like me so much, I can stop you for 5 more years."

Liu Xiu shook her head, "What I'm saying is that ten years may not be enough. It's possible that the Han family will fall into your hands in the end. I can't see through you."

Jiang Hao looked at Liu Xiu, suddenly became playful, and asked, "Emperor Jianwu came from time travel?"

Liu Xiu was taken aback, "I came here on horseback."

"Have you ever heard of TV sets, RMB, tractors, electric lights and telephones?" Jiang Hao asked again without answering.

Liu Xiu shook her head in a daze: "What are these?"

Jiang Hao could tell from this man's expression that he really didn't know these things, so he smiled slightly and said, "It's just some small things."

"Prince Regent, you haven't said what the reason for inviting me here. Could it be that you really can't see the scenery." Liu Xiu asked.

After seeing Liu Xiu's luck before, Jiang Hao already had an idea in his mind, and said, "Your Majesty, I think the two of us fall in love with each other, so why don't we sworn brothers."

Jiang Hao used the most powerful move, you have the forbidden spell, and I have shameless three thousand.

The expression on Liu Xiu's face suddenly became very exciting. He called his majesty, and even pulled him to beg him. These several meanings.

However, Liu Xiu is a very thoughtful person, and he paid attention when he turned his eyes, and immediately smiled, and said with a smile: "Okay, I also think that I can chat with the regent, why don't we become brothers, By the way, how old are you?"

"Seven out of twenty this year." Jiang Hao said.

Liu Xiu obviously breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm thirty this year, three years older than you."

"Ah, then you are the elder brother. My elder brother is above me. Please accept my younger brother's worship." Jiang Hao stood up, and bowed respectfully to Liu Xiuxing at ninety degrees.

Liu Xiu hurriedly got up and helped her.

Pang Xiong, Su Mu, Liu Xiu and the two generals who came with them were dumbfounded. This development rhythm seems very strange.

"Su Mu, set up the incense table immediately, I want to sworn brother Liu Xiu." Jiang Hao said loudly.

Not long after, Su Mu took out the incense burner, sandalwood and other things from the horse bag, and set them up facing the river. Liu Xiu was surprised and thought that this must have been prepared before.

Jiang Hao and Liu Xiu bowed three times to the river by the Yellow River. From now on, the two will become brothers and share life and death together.

After getting up, Jiang Hao saluted Liu Xiu again, and then said: "My brother has prepared a gift, please accept it."

"Oh, and a gift, what is it?"

Jiang Hao asked Liu Xiu to go back to the table, took out the place where he was sitting just now, and took out a yellow package. After opening it, a big seal was revealed. Liu Xiu held his breath when he saw the big seal.

"This is, this is the Jade Seal of Chuanguo!" Liu Xiu said excitedly.

Liu Xiu naturally knew the value of the Chuanguo Jade Seal. He wanted to take down Chang'an, and one of the purposes of taking down Jiang Hao was to get the Chuanguo Jade Seal, which was an important proof for securing the throne of the emperor.

"Yes, Chuan Guo Yuxi, give it to my brother as a meeting gift." Jiang Hao said and put his hands on Liu Xiu.

Liu Xiu took it excitedly, touched Yuxi with surprise in his eyes, but soon he calmed down, put Yuxi down, looked at Jiang Hao and said: "My brother gave me such a big gift, I don't know what to give my brother. .”

"Brother, since you and I are brothers, why don't you give me a seal." Jiang Hao said.

"Ah, that's right, what's good about granting a seal?" Liu Xiu murmured.

Jiang Hao took out the two edicts that Wang Mang had written to Jiang Hao before, and said, "Look, brother, I caught Wang Mang, and Wang Mang was willing to give me a general, a lieutenant, and finally a king. I am not happy."

This is to tell Liu Xiu that I don't want to be young.

Liu Xiu pondered for a while and said, "What are your plans for the future, brother?"

Jiang Haodao: "My plan is very simple. I have no intention of fighting for the world. I am going to give up Chang'an and return to the desert. I will fight with the Huns. I will fight with the Huns. It will be fun to kill them. After fighting the Huns, I will fight with them." Maybe go all the way to the west, go to Da Yuezhi, to Guishuang Kingdom, to Anxi Kingdom, to Great Qin Kingdom, swim in the Mediterranean Sea, touch the walls of the Holy City."

Liu Xiu took a deep look at Jiang Hao and said, "You think so far, but I only think about how to stabilize the big man so that the people will no longer be in war and live a prosperous life."

In fact, Jiang Hao felt that Liu Xiu's goal was more difficult.

"Well, I'll make you the King of the West, rule over the countries in the Western Regions, and safeguard the safety of the Great Han in the West. All the way west, wherever you go, it will be your fief." Liu Xiu said loudly.

Jiang Hao chuckled, and immediately asked Su Mu to bring a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, "Brother, write it down, there happens to be the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom here."

Liu Xiu was taken aback for a moment,

This guy, he can't calculate everything.

Emperor Jianwu wrote his reward edict on a piece of yellow juan cloth, and bestowed Jiang Hao as the king of the west, hereditary. All the lands west of Yumen Pass are Jiang Hao's fiefdoms. It depends on his own ability. He governs the affairs of all countries in the Western Regions. Taxes are all owned by the King of the West.

"Snapped!"

The big seal of Chuan Guo Yuxi was pressed down heavily.

At this moment, a system message suddenly came from Jiang Hao's mind, "Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the task of "Sealing the Marquis and Worshiping the General". The higher the position, the greater the reward."

"May I ask if the host is returning now?"

It was finally completed, and it seemed that he guessed right, but Jiang Hao still wanted to make a lot of complaints in his heart. After all, the traverser could not be compared to the Chosen One. Only Liu Xiu bestowed the title to successfully complete the task. He could not be a king or an emperor himself.

You know, before he secretly sneaked into the Weiyang Palace in Chang'an, put on Wang Mang's dragon robe, held the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, summoned dozens of generals under him, and declared himself the emperor once in the hall, but the system fart There was no response, and then Jiang Hao had no choice but to tell his subordinates that he just thought it was fun, which made those subordinates disappointed for a while.

In the end, Jiang Hao had no choice but to add Liu Xiu.

Of course, if Liu Xiu's gift doesn't work, Jiang Haojiu is ready to fight for the world and become emperor himself.

Now it seems that everything has a definite number.

this time,

He really believed in fate.

That one is definitely destiny.

However, Jiang Hao is also very curious about what will happen if he starts a war with Liu Xiu, meteorite falling from the sky, big thunderstorm, big blizzard, big ice seal, sky collapsing and earth sinking, raging fire... Anyway, it is estimated that it will not be much better.

Jiang Hao received the imperial edict and said, "I also ask my brother to take over Chang'an as soon as possible. All the Han soldiers who surrendered before will be left to my brother. I am going to take the Hu people back to the Western Regions as soon as possible."

"Oh, why are you in such a hurry." Liu Xiu said.

"I received a message from the Western Regions that the King of the Huns sent troops to attack Wusun again. Last year, Wusun tried his best to block it. Now he is in danger. If Wusun is destroyed, the Huns will become more rampant and may threaten the safety of the great man." Jiang Hao said. .

Liu Xiu stood up and grabbed Jiang Hao's hands, and said, "Brother, I will entrust you with the safety of Dahan Xixi from now on."

"Don't worry, brother, facing the Huns, I can play freely. In the Central Plains, my hands and feet are very restrained." Jiang Hao said.

"Hahaha, you are my Han after all, and I don't want to see brothers killing each other." Liu Xiu laughed.

The two said goodbye and separated, reluctant to leave. Jiang Hao sent 50 miles before returning to Chang'an. After Liu Xiu returned to Luoyang, he immediately announced to the world that he and Jiang Hao would become brothers with different surnames. In the four counties, the King of the West returned to the Western Regions, and Yongzheng was in the west of the Han Dynasty.

The whole world was shaken, those separatist forces originally wanted to watch a head-to-head confrontation, but Jiang Hao was so cowardly, and offered to help watch the gate, what a rubbish.

In fact, Jiang Hao is also lamenting that Liu Xiu deserves to be the show of Dihua. Even if he knows five hundred years before and five hundred years later, he obediently presents the jade seal of the country and the land of the four counties he brought down for Mao Zedong. , this is fate.

Back in Chang'an, Jiang Hao immediately ordered people to pack up and prepare to return to the desert. When the people from the Western Regions heard this, they immediately cheered up.

The Huahua World in Central Plains is good, but how can it be good to have your own home.

Jiang Hao came to the side hall again, met Wang Mang, and said, "I handed over the Chuanguo Yuxi and Chang'an to Liu Xiu, and I am going to leave the Central Plains for the Western Regions. The new emperor can stay or go."

Wang Mang was a little older than before, and also lost a lot of weight. With gray hair and beard, he looked like an old man, who didn't have half the majesty of an emperor.

"Hehe, why stay here? There are a few people who can accommodate me. Why don't you go to the desert with you, maybe you can see a different scenery." Wang Mang said indifferently.

"Then what shall I call you from now on?"

Wang Mang thought for a while and said, "You can call me Bai Zong from now on."

Jiang Hao was taken aback, thinking wildly, Teng is a Teng snake, isn't a white Teng a white snake? Could it be that Wang Mang is really the white snake that Liu Bang killed, and came to avenge hundreds of years later, as in the legend?

Heaven has reincarnation.

Not thinking about this, Jiang Hao came to the treasury again. Jiang Hao visited them a few times before, but he didn't touch them. Now he is ready to leave. This Chang'an City is left to Brother Liu Xiu, and I will take this gold away.

charge,

transformed into space.

Swipe~~Jiang Hao's space is getting bigger little by little. After absorbing all the gold in the entire treasure house, Jiang Hao's space has actually increased by 1.5 cubic meters.

The big man is worthy of being a big man, even if he is poor and loses his pants, he still has more than 20 tons of gold reserves, Jiang Hao's space has suddenly increased to 4 cubic meters.

What can four cubic meters hold?

It seems, probably, it can fit a car like Wuling Zhiguang, FAW Jiabao, Wuling Rongguang, Wuling Hongguang, etc.

come on,

The harvest of this trip to the Central Plains is quite great. The most important thing is that my task has been completed, which is the most gratifying.

Jiang Hao guessed that if he wanted to go further, he might really have to build an empire as huge as the Han Dynasty before he could go further.

Do you really want to take down the Great Yuezhi, the Parthian Kingdom, and the Roman Empire? Thinking about the feeling of conquering the world really makes one's blood boil.
