Straight man of steel

Chapter 477 Divine Grass Ginseng
Wei Qing and Zhang Yuan let Xihou Zhao Xin line up.

Then he took a team of a hundred people up to the Great Wall.

Looking over from a distance, Zhang Yuan knew that this was not Yi Zhixie's army.

"It looks like King Hunxie's army, send them a signal to stop at the gap!"

"Here!"

Xiao Ding ordered a fire to be lit on the wall of the Great Wall, and then some horse dung was placed on top of it, and a puff of thick smoke quickly formed.

Chou Diao led [-] cavalry here, thinking that he was the fastest, but he didn't expect that there were Han troops here.

He understood that this was a warning, so he reined in and stopped the [-] army.

He planned to negotiate with the Han army on the Great Wall by himself.

Chou Diao came over on horseback, and Zhang Yuan took a closer look before he recognized him.

"Xiao Ding, go and bring him here, that man is the big household thick eagle under the command of King Hunxie."

"Here!"

Wei Qing suddenly became interested, he didn't expect Wei Qing to remember a big Hun family so clearly.

"Brother Yuan, you recognize this person."

"At noon, I stationed troops on the north side of the Xiongnu camp, and King Hunxie sent him to urge me to attack."

"So it is."

During the conversation, Chou Diao was brought in front of Zhang Yuan.

He was a little surprised, how Zhang Yuan and the others could still run in front of him.

And he also saw these obstacles and gaps at the gap in the Great Wall.

"The last general has met General Zhang."

"This is my great general Wei Qing."

Zhang Yuan introduced Wei Qing to Chou Diao.

He still has a good impression of Chou Diao.

Both Chou Diao and Zhao Xin belonged to the smarter people in the Xiongnu.

"The last general pays his respects to General Wei!"

Chou Diao is not used to calling the generals of the Han with their official positions.

"What are you doing here, where is Yi Zhixie's 30 troops?"

"Reporting to General Zhang, King Hunxie said that Yi Zhixie's target must be here, and then asked the last general to arrive here first with [-] cavalry, so that Yi Zhixie was not allowed to pass through here."

Zhang Yuan nodded. If King Hunxie didn't know that the Han army would stop here, and then sent the thick eagle out, then he would have let these 3 people be used as cannon fodder.

"You lead the army across the gap and defend the north.

This will also reduce the loss. "

Wei Qing was happy to have the Huns in front as cannon fodder for the Han army.

Chou Diao felt a bit chilled, no matter how he went there, he would be used as cannon fodder.

However, Wei Qing still had a few more chances.

"The last will obey!"

The thick eagle immediately returned to command the army to cross the gap.

Zhang Yuan looked at Chou Diao and nodded in satisfaction.

If the Hexi Corridor is opened up in the future, it would be good for this person to be sent to the Western Regions to deal with those small countries in the Western Regions.

Capable, capable of commanding the army, and aware of current affairs.

"Brother Qing, in the future, if this thick eagle comes to Dahan, I can recommend it to His Majesty.

This man is no worse than Xihou Zhao Xin. "

Zhao Xin's thoughts are still on the love of children, Zhang Yuan feels that Chou Diao must not have so many worries.

"Let's talk about it later, what if he dies in battle later!"

"Oh shit, you can't say something nice, can you?"

Xiao Ding looked enviously at Zhang Yuan and Wei Qing who were playing around.

He thinks that maybe this is the aura of a great hero, and the face of the great enemy does not change because he is a brave man.

He didn't know when he would be able to be like Wei Qing and Zhang Yuan.

After Chou Diao commanded [-] Hunxie cavalry to pass through the gap, Zhang Yuan and Wei Qing also saw the Xiongnu cavalry rushing from a distance.

In fact, you don't need to look at it at all, you just need to feel the frequency of the earthquake with your heart.

Zhang Yuan suddenly thought that the land under his feet seemed to have frequent earthquakes, and he was a little scared all of a sudden.

With so many war horses running, don't make any fools.

Zhang Yuan knew that it would be impossible to cause an earthquake just because the horses were running, but he was worried that it would be funny if the earthquake happened at this time and the Great Wall cracked or collapsed.

It's not that there were no such coincidences in ancient times. If you think there are no such coincidences, you can refer to the legendary deeds of the great magister Liu Xiu.

"Let Xin Zhao be on guard, we can't stay here anymore."

Wei Qing began to urge Zhang Yuan to go down the Great Wall.

Zhang Yuan would definitely not stay here and wait for the Huns to shoot arrows at him.

Yi Zhixie soon saw the gap, but because of the cover of the mountain, he had not yet seen the Hunxie army behind the gap.

"Boys! Through here, these mad dogs behind will not be able to do anything with us.

Go!kill! "

Yi Zhixie roared almost crazily.

He's been so miserable all day.

It was getting dark, the moon was already in the sky, and he would go crazy if there was no hope of escape.

"Great Chanyu, there is an army behind the Great Wall!"

Ajudo shattered Yi Zhixie's beautiful fantasy.

"This must be at least over [-]! And it's getting dark, so we won't be able to get through!"

"The chasm has been dug and the ground is full of trees!"

Every sentence was like a knife piercing Yi Zhixie's heart.

"what should I do now?"

"Da Shanyu can only continue eastward, wait for dawn before looking for the next pass."

Ajudo said immediately.

Now it seems there is really no other way.

If the day is bright.

The 30 cavalry can still find a way to charge a wave.

But it was going to be dark in less than a quarter of an hour, the sun had already set, and the sky had changed from orange red to dark blue.

"Then continue east!"

Yi Zhi gritted his teeth and said.

Today he has experienced what it means to beat a dog in the water, but unfortunately he is not the one with the whip, he is the dog in the water that was beaten.

"General, General Hussars, Yi Zhixie and the others continue to head east!"

Xiao Ding was so happy that he cheered.

"Thick sculpture!"

Zhang Yuan shouted, and Chou Diao immediately ran to Zhang Yuan.

"General Zhang, what are your orders?"

"You stay here for a while, and after you see all the cavalry behind pass through, you can then go from the north of the Great Wall along the Great Wall to the next pass, Feiru County Town!"

The [-] cavalrymen of the Han army are about to set off for Feiru County immediately, otherwise there may not even be a rest time tonight.

Fighting for twelve hours in a row, Iron Man will not be able to resist.

You can only start as early as possible, and rest for as long as you can in the end.

Chou Diao didn't say much, originally he was going to work hard, but now he not only saved [-] cavalrymen but also got to know Wei Qing, it seems that Zhang Yuan also appreciates him very much.

Of course, the Queen of the Palace is not a problem!

"The general obeys the order. After Yi Zhixie has no chance of passing through this pass, the general will go to Feiru County to find General Zhang and General Wei!"

Zhang Yuan patted Chou Diao on the shoulder, this young man is really obedient, not fake obedient.

"Don't worry, when you go to Chang'an, I will ask for credit for you in front of His Majesty!"

"Thank you General Zhang."

Unknowingly, Zhang Yuan has become a big boss, and he can still ask for credit for the Huns. I am happy to think about it.

In this way, the 30 cavalry from the Huns' headquarters fled to the south of the Great Wall, while Wei Qing and Zhang Yuan led [-] cavalry to gallop to the north of the Great Wall, and the two sides were almost parallel.

But soon the 30 Han cavalry left Yizhixie's [-] cavalry behind.

The Han Dynasty's lax control over Liaoxi County and Liaodong County made the boundary between You Beiping and Liaoxi County the Great Wall.

Basically, the places north of the Great Wall don't care much about the big men.

However, cities were built in these places to guard against those aliens.

According to the current thinking of people, as long as a city is built somewhere, then that place belongs to someone.

This idea is always correct.

There are basically no people in Liaoxi County and Liaodong County.

The common people became refugees and fled to Weiman Korea in the east.

This place is equivalent to a lawless place.

Because no matter whether it is to the west or south of the Han Dynasty, other aliens tried their best to enter the territory of the Han Dynasty.

But the Han people here all want to go to Wiman Korea.

The main reason is the policy of Weiman North Korea, which encourages the influx of refugees.

For the common people, although Weiman Joseon has the word North Korea in its name, it is actually the territory of the Han people.

Therefore, there was no obstacle in their hearts. The rulers of Weiman Korea also took advantage of this and absorbed more than [-] refugees from Liaoxi County and Liaodong County in the past few decades.

In the end, it was Liu Che who couldn't bear it anymore, and then wiped out the thief who stole things.

Driving the Xiongnu to Liaoxi County to deal with it can also let the Han people in Liaodong County in Liaoxi County know who is the boss now.

The people here probably don't know about the offensive and defensive Yixing. They only know that the Huns are still roaming around the border of the Han Dynasty, making it difficult for them to farm safely.

Those Han people who fled to Weiman Korea didn't know how people like Fuyu, Wuhuan, and the Xiongnu could have resisted plundering them if the big men hadn't been carrying them in front.

When it was midnight, Zhang Yuan and the others arrived at Feiru County in Liaoxi County.

Feiru County was built on the south side of the Great Wall, just two miles away from the gap in the Great Wall.

This is not a closed city.

In addition, the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods before the Qin and Han Dynasties did not have the habit of building cities directly in the middle of the Great Wall.

Zhang Yuan was also quite puzzled by this.

It was only recently that I realized that it was because of the problem of city construction materials.

Most of the Han Great Wall and Qin Great Wall, including the previous Yan Great Wall, were made of yellow mud and straw. In places like Liaoxi, mountains and stones were directly used to build the Great Wall.

It's basically just local material.

In addition, the technology is underdeveloped.

This part of the Great Wall is built on the mountain and stretches along the mountain.

If you want to build a city, it doesn't really mean much for defense.

The Great Wall is not high, and normal people can climb over it. Its purpose is to hinder the passage of cavalry.

The construction of Guancheng needs to be connected with the Great Wall. The craftsmen cannot find so many materials to build Guancheng on the Great Wall, and it is too difficult to dig mountains and rocks.

Because of the limitation of materials, the big man was too lazy to build Guancheng.

And why did the Ming Great Wall build a large number of Guancheng.

At that time, the situation was different from that of Dahan.

The Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty was closed. If you want to enter and exit the Great Wall, you must pass through the Guancheng.

Moreover, the height of the Ming Great Wall was high enough, and it was very difficult to cross it. People traveling from south to north had to go through Guancheng.

The Han Great Wall has a large number of passes and gaps, so I didn't think about preventing spies.

The focus of the defense of the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty was Guancheng. Beiyuan and Jurchen Mongols could only pass through Guancheng if they wanted to invade Daming.

Therefore, the Guancheng of the Ming Great Wall was built very firmly, and the materials used were incomparable to those of the Han Dynasty more than 1000 years ago.

Daming had no more rocks, so he just used gunpowder to blow it up.

What if the big man has no stones?Knead with mud.

Liu Che must have thought about Guancheng, but he gave up soon.

He is not an emperor who only wants to guard the land.

Now these foreigners pray every day that the Han army will not go out of the Great Wall, so what are they doing building the Guancheng? Isn't it hindering their pace of going out and conquering the territory.

The situation of being as fat as a county seat made Zhang Yuan feel that it was okay.

Leave enough space for everyone.

Zhang Yuan ignored Wei Qing. He found the magistrate of Feiru County and got some tents.

Wei Qing's attitude is definitely not to disturb the people in the middle of the night.

What Zhang Yuan thought was that as long as he didn't go to the city, he wouldn't be considered a nuisance to the people, so he ordered tents so that he could sleep more comfortably at night.

As a result, Feiru County Magistrate not only sent the tent, but also sent Zhang Yuan a pot of soup with some roots floating on it.

"I rely on!"

Zhang Yuan shouted suddenly, Wei Qing was a little confused.

"Is there poison in the soup?"

Fat Ru county magistrate quickly knelt down.

"Great General, General Hussars, give me 1 guts, and I dare not poison the soup!"

Zhang Yuan shook his head.

"There is no poison in the soup, but do you still have the ingredients for making the soup?"

Zhang Yuan didn't think he was disgusting, so he put his hand into the soup and pinched a root hair out.

After Wei Qing saw it, his stomach was overwhelmed. He saw the mud on Zhang Yuan's hand and a few horse mane fell into the soup.

"General Hussars, are you talking about this? Yes, yes, yes!"

"Bring them all to me. When I return to Chang'an City, I will send you some money."

Although Zhang Yuan knew that these things must have been scavenged by the magistrate Feiru, he didn't want to be a white wolf with empty hands.

"General Hussars, please wait a moment!"

Feiru the county magistrate hurried out.

Wei Qing asked Zhang Yuan curiously.

"What is this?"

"Ginseng."

"Ginseng?"

"A medicinal herb that has the magic of bringing the dead back to life.

If the Empress Dowager Dou had a thing before her death, she would have been hanged for a month without any problem. "

As he said that, Zhang Yuan poured out all the ginseng soup in the iron pot.

"This thing is so good. Brother Yuan, why did you fall down?"

"You want to drink my handwashing water?"

In fact, Zhang Yuan did not explicitly say that ginseng cannot be cooked with metal utensils.

Fat as the county magistrate will come back soon.

I also brought two people to carry a large wooden box.

"General Hussars, all the goblins in the mansion are here."

Ginseng is called differently in different places, some are called Polygonatum, some are called Goblin, and some are called Shencao.

"Open me and see."

"Here."

As soon as the wooden box was opened, Zhang Yuan felt that he had lost his mind.

This is really in ancient times. After 2000, in addition to artificially cultivated ginseng, you can see so many ginseng at one time. How could wild ginseng fill a large wooden box with a square meter!
"There must be several hundred of them. It's amazing to be as fat as a county magistrate."

"This thing is not a rare treasure here, there are more treasures in Weiman, Liaodong County, North Korea.

General Hussars, I still have some in stock, you see. "

Magistrate Fei Ru took out a piece of red cloth from his arms and spread it out to see three old ginseng roots wrapped inside.

At first glance, Zhang Yuan must have been ginseng for hundreds of years. As for the thousand-year-old ginseng, Zhang Yuan doesn't really believe in it.

"How many of these do you have?"

"That's all, didn't I bring it all to General Hussars."

"Put it here, and I will compensate you in the future."

"I can't ask for any compensation for what General Hussars said."

Fat Ru County Magistrate said with a smile, obviously he just doesn't want money, but an official position.

"I'll think about it, you go back."

"Here."

Zhang Yuan looked at Magistrate Fei Ru's retreating figure and smiled in his heart.

People, greed is not enough to swallow elephants.

If Liu Che knew that there was ginseng in Liaodong, and knew its efficacy, Zhang Yuan and Wei Qing would have given up on destroying the Huns first, and cleaned up the Korean Peninsula and Liaodong first.

"Young brother, these are all mine."

"I won't rob you either, look at how stingy you are."

"It's not that I'm stingy, you will be a royal family from now on, you can use this thing openly.

We little trash, it is estimated that we will rely on these treatments to save our lives in the future. "

The most important effect of ginseng is to hang the breath.

The human body has a self-healing function, but if it dies, various organs will stop functioning. If you can live for a while, you will have more hope of living.

Why do many doctors always say one thing when treating patients, and then it's up to him.

That's why.

This is also the reason why the value of ginseng continues to increase.

For a person like Liu Che, he would definitely say a word after knowing it.

'It will be state-owned, and those who sell ginseng privately will be fined a thousand dollars in the future! '
