Hanhou

Liu Rong came suddenly, beyond Zhao Jia's expectation.

Although they had received letters before, according to Zhao Jia's expectations, the two of them would not meet until at least the middle of the month.After all, Liu Rong went to Yanmen County to guard the border, and it always took some time to settle in when he first arrived.

Unexpectedly, he came so quickly.

Qing Zhuang opened the fence and invited Liu Rong and his party into the livestock farm.Zhao Jia ordered Ji Bao to go to the shooting range to find Wei Tong, and let him rush to the barracks as soon as possible to inform Wei Yue of the news.

Liu Rong's trip was originally for farming, so he couldn't help being curious when he saw that it was different from other livestock farms.

After the two greeted each other, Zhao Jia led the way, and suggested that since they were here, they might as well take a walk in the farm.Liu Rong didn't refuse, walking all the way, what made him most curious was the yellow sheep crowded in the pen.

There are also gazelles in Yanmen County, but not as many as in Yunzhong.

The most important thing is that the yellow sheep there will stay far away from the border residents, jump up and run if something goes wrong, and will not take the initiative to approach at all.Not to mention jumping into the sheepfold and huddling with the livestock.

"Can Mr. Zhao Lang clear up the confusion for Rong?"

Hearing the other party's question, Zhao Jia's expression was slightly complicated.

It's really beyond words.

Most of the gazelles follow Zhao Jia from the grassland to the livestock farm, get fodder from the livestock farm every day, squeeze into the sheep pen to keep warm, and use the fence to avoid predators.

But this does not mean that the vigilance of the flock is weakened.

Even today, sheep are still only willing to let children approach them.When someone approached, he immediately spread his hooves and ran away.When the visitor turns around, he will run back with a rattling, jump into the fence, and continue to huddle with the sheep in the farm.

Not long ago, Wei Qing excitedly told Zhao Jia that there were seven or eight more yellow sheep that jumped into the fence, and they were obviously newcomers.Zhao Jia personally went to the sheep pen to count and found that the new arrivals were all ewes, all of which were round and obviously pregnant with lambs.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Jia had to start thinking, maybe he didn't pass through the halo, but just lit up in the wrong place?

When Liu Rong asked about it, Zhao Jia explained how the flock came, and said that although the gazelle obtained food and protection in the livestock farm, it was still a wild animal in the strict sense.When the sheep come and go, it is not up to the people in the farm to decide.

"No one hunted?" Liu Rong asked.

"Yes." Zhao Jia nodded.

The reason why yellow sheep are allowed to come and go freely is that apart from not being stingy with the fodder, the main reason is to increase the livelihood of the border residents.However, the yellow sheep obtained fodder in the livestock farm, and if someone wanted to hunt them, they would still ask Zhao Jia, and after hunting, they would send a leg of lamb or a whole sheepskin as a thank you to Zhao Jia.

In addition, there are also those who act inappropriately and just want to take advantage of it. They regard this place as their own hunting ground, and they are still not satisfied with hunting gazelle. They even plan to capture cattle and sheep.

Discovering that the young man on patrol was seriously injured, and the cattle and sheep in the pen were lost, Xiong Bo led his men to set up an ambush, waited for several days, and caught the thief.After interrogation, it was discovered that this was a group of bandits from Lin County!

They not only hunted gazelle, stole cattle and sheep from the livestock farm, but also dug up the remaining snow to catch marmots hiding in burrows.

Knowing that these marmots would be sold as meat, Zhao Jiadeng's scalp felt numb, and he couldn't help but feel scared for a while.Furious, he picked up the whip on the spot and whipped the gang of thieves into howls.

After a whipping, the culprits were all hung up on wooden poles to blow the wind.If you dare to shout, you will continue to smoke, and if you dare to scold, you will smoke harder.Until they all shut up and didn't dare to make a sound.

What people didn't expect was that it was Atao's elder brother who led the way for this group of thieves and brought them into Shaling County!

This person was in charge of the situation, and when he saw something was wrong, he sneaked away when the thief was arrested. He had no property on him, so he couldn't get out of Shaling County, so he could only try to hide in his home.I don't want my family members to be so disappointed in him that they won't let him in at all.

While the young man was pleading, a young man entered the village and mentioned that a group of thieves had been captured by the livestock farm and were looking for fish that slipped through the net.

Seeing that the eldest son's expression was not right, Atao's parents were heartbroken, and they worked together to grab the son who was about to run away, and they were going to ask Qing Zhuang.He didn't want to hide a sharp weapon on his body, scratch Father Yun, and stab Yunmu's neck with a knife.If it wasn't for Mica dodging in time, she might be killed on the spot.

Neighbors on the left and right heard the movement and saw this scene when they entered the courtyard. They immediately rushed forward, pushed the young assailant to the ground and tied him up.

After contacting Qing Zhuang, everyone still didn't understand the reason.Looking at Yun's parents and sons, their eyes are full of contempt.Looking at Father Yun and Mother Yun again, he couldn't stop his sympathy.

Everyone in Yun's family is kind-hearted. When Atao ate several meals in the livestock farm, his father always brought wild animals, which shows his heart.

However, the family was unlucky, and this rascal came out.

According to Zhao Jia's intention, only try to catch the culprit, if it is absolutely necessary, don't name the Yun family's son, at least save face for the Yun family.Unexpectedly, Yun's parents and sons ran home and did something that hurt their relatives.According to the law of the Han Dynasty, with the witness of the old man, he is not guilty of beating him to death!

After confirming what the eldest son had done, the Yun family and his wife were ashamed to the point of shame.Father Yun picked up his long stick and was about to beat him to death on the spot.Yun Mu stopped her husband, saying how many bandits the eldest son brought and how many people he spread the news to, it is still unknown, but he should hand them over to Zhao Jia and ask him all about what he did.

"Please inform Zhao Langjun that this son has been expelled from the house and has nothing to do with the Yun family!"

After the incident, Atao became extremely silent and did not smile for many days.Every time he passed by the stake where Yun's parents were bound, he would stop and hold on to the Yi bow on his body.But before he could make a move, Wei Qing would drag him away every time.

"not worth it."

The three words fell into his heart, A Tao's eyes were red, he was suddenly picked up from behind, looked up and saw Zhao Jia, sobbed twice, hugged the other's neck with both hands, and burst into tears.Finally tired from crying, she fell asleep on Zhao Jia's shoulder.

After crying for a while, Atao finally regained his spirit.It's just that I've been depressed for many days, and my little face has lost weight, making people feel distressed just looking at it.

When Liu Rong came to visit, the gang of thieves were still hanging on the wooden pole.

Fortunately, there has not been heavy snow recently, otherwise, each of them would have been frozen into ice cubes.

According to the customs of Yibian County, even if they can walk out of the livestock farm alive, they may not be able to leave Shaling County alive.If Zhao Jia didn't do anything, the villagers and the nearby hunters would not allow them to leave.

The reason why they are still kept is not that Zhao Jia is soft-hearted, but to deter Xiao Xiao, don't regard being kind to others as weakness, before making any sneaky thoughts, it is best to inquire carefully about what kind of behavior Zhao's son is, and if he falls into his In the hands, what will end up in the end.

Seeing the thief hanging on the wooden pole, Liu Rong paused slightly, glanced at the accompanying boy, and asked Zhao Jia why.He had a very good impression of Zhao Jia, and he didn't think he would do evil things for no reason.In order to avoid misunderstandings in the palace, it is better to ask.

Zhao Jia smiled slightly, explained the matter briefly, pointed to the blue-eyed, trembling eldest son Yun, and said, "This man led the way for thieves. After the incident happened, he hid in the village and stabbed his parents."

"Hit the parents?" Liu Rong's expression changed suddenly, and the accompanying boy also showed disgust.

"The matter has been reported to the official temple. These thieves will all be punished as Cheng Dan. Soon some officials will come and escort them to the border beacon tower."

Wei Shang decided to build a fortress in Hushi, and started construction after the snow melted.The amount of the project is not small, and the city gates in the county are not enough, so decent people are sent around to search for bandits and savages.If it wasn't for Yun Zhongqi not keeping prisoners, Wei Shang would have wanted Wei Yue to capture the Huns to do hard labor.

But this can only be thought about.

Not to mention that the Xiongnu are not afraid of whipping at all, and they want to run away even if they are tied with a rope. If a few spies sneak in, it will inevitably cause disaster.

Except for Yun's eldest son and two scoundrels, the gang caught by Zhao Jia were all savages.

The savage is homeless, without food and clothing, and should be skinny.The reality is that these people are all well-fed and healthy, and they look healthier than ordinary border residents.The method of hurting people and stealing is extremely sophisticated. If you say that you have not done evil things before, you will not believe it if you have a brain.

The testimonials that were asked also confirmed this.

The only difference is that they are more vicious than imagined, not only stealing but also murdering, and even set fire to a neighborhood.Being wanted by the official temple, he had to run around and became a savage.

After listening to Zhao Jia's narration, Liu Rong's face was livid, and Qitong was filled with righteous indignation, wishing he could draw his sword and kill him on the spot.

Observing the performance of several people, Zhao Jia had a vague guess in his heart, and it was difficult to express it, so he could only suppress it temporarily, reminding himself that he needed to be more cautious in the future, and waved his hands behind his back, signaling to Uncle Hu and Uncle Xiong .

Leaving aside the thief on the wooden pole, Zhao Jia took Liu Rong to the bullpen.

The pen is separated by horizontal fences, the cows with their calves occupy the most spacious area, and the strong bulls and calves waiting for their nose rings occupy one place each.There is a gap between them, even if it is a violent bull, it cannot threaten calves and half-grown calves.

Those who are really strong break through the fence, not to mention young and strong, angry cows will make them look good.

Unfortunately, when Zhao Jia took Liu Rong to visit the bullpen, he encountered two bulls going wild, their front hoofs scratching the ground, and their horns like iron plows collided with each other, fighting fiercely.

Zhao Ponu put down the rope and carried Wei Qing and the others to a safe distance. It was useless for the children to protest.Each of these bulls became stronger and stronger, and if they were scratched by the horns if they couldn't dodge in time, they would bleed profusely on the spot.

"A Gu, go find Uncle Xiong!"

Seeing that three more bulls were involved in the battle, Zhao Puonu knew that something was wrong, and just as he asked Ah Gu to call for someone, he saw Zhao Jia approaching from not far away.

"Lang Jun, the cows are fighting, don't get close!"

Zhao Jia stopped in his tracks immediately, and pulled Liu Rong back by the way.If these bulls don't go crazy, once they go crazy, the so-called bullfighting in later generations can be compared to a little white rabbit.

Liu Rong wasn't surprised at all, but watched with great interest.

"Jiangling City also has farming cattle, but compared to here, they are very small and not strong."

Seeing Liu Rong's performance, Zhao Jia was speechless.

Should I say the pot of the times?

Even the mild-tempered Liu Rong, the ruler of success in Emperor Jing's eyes, did not lack violence in his blood.

From this point of view, regardless of the horizontal or vertical comparison, the Han Dynasty was able to shovel the Huns to the ground, rubbing and rubbing, and there is really no reason.

Of course, the Han Dynasty was not without defeat.

It's just that for the Han army with a solid foundation, one defeat is nothing, and a second one will not be considered finished until the opponent is dumbfounded and kneels on the ground singing conquest.If you feel bad after singing, then continue beating.

Historically, neighbors in the east, west, north, south, and even neighbors of the Han Dynasty received similar treatment.

Dissatisfied?

If you don't accept it, I will beat you until you accept it.Accidentally beat him to death, pretending to be okay, he picked out his ears, and spread his hands, expressing that he couldn't help but feel helpless.

However, compared to the dominance of the Han army, the economy of the Han Wu period was really a bit of a dish.

It cannot be said that people in charge of the economy have no brains, it can only be said that the times are limited.As long as the method is appropriate, even if it is militarism, it may not be impossible to enrich the national treasury while laying down the territory.

If the economy of the Han Wu Dynasty could grow along with its territory, what would history look like?

[-]% will really go to heaven.

Zhao Jia has a lot of ideas, but due to the limited conditions, no matter how good the idea is, it cannot be implemented.If you want to make big strides forward, you must take small steps first.Military exploits are the steps for his promotion and the foundation for him to realize his ambitions.

In the bullpen, the bulls beat harder and harder. Before the young and strong could make a move, they had already broken several bars, threatening the calves behind the bars at any time.

"Bring the lasso!" Zhao Jia made a quick decision and shouted loudly, "Try to separate the bull first, if you can't separate it, kill it on the spot!"

Today there are distinguished guests in the livestock farm, and the right to slaughter cattle is treated as entertainment.

The young and strong people moved quickly, with the ropes in their hands, just waiting for Zhao Jia's order.

As a result, before everyone could do anything, the cows were enraged first and blocked the calves behind them. A dozen of the strongest cows rushed towards the bull with their horns outward.

Anyone who is close to the horizontal rail, regardless of whether they participate in the battle or not, will fly upwards.

Bulls are dominant in size and there are more cows.

One side is fighting, and has lost a lot of strength before, and its combat power has begun to decline; the other side is enraged, completely falling into a rage, and its combat power soars with the anger value.

As a result, the bulls were jacked off one by one, and some flew five or six meters straight, the hard hide was cut open, and dark red blood flowed out.

The cow wanted to continue to charge forward, but Qing Zhuang moved in a hurry, used a rope to trap the leading cow to control the movement of the herd, then used forage and bean cakes to distract the attention of the herd, and took the opportunity to drag the half-dead bull out. Repair the horizontal bar as fast as possible.

The bull's injuries were serious, but fortunately most of them were not fatal.

Zhao Jia picked out one of them and told Qing Zhuang to slaughter it and cook the best part.

"this way please."

After leaving the bullpen, Zhao Jia led Liu Rong to the chicken coop.

Seeing the wild ducks in the chicken coop, Liu Rong was puzzled, did he come here by himself?

Zhao Jia explained with a smile: "I found wild duck eggs by the stream before, but I didn't think they could really hatch."

After the chicken coop, the group went to see the camel stables and stables.

The camels have long eyelashes and big eyes, and they look very docile.No one could have imagined that just three days ago, they almost trampled a few foxes that had strayed to the wrong place into meatloaf.

The stables are covered with hay, and several foals are running happily.A white horse with a black spot on the forehead is the strongest, and its shoulder height is much higher than that of its companions.

"They are all good horses." Liu Rong sighed.

Zhao Jia stood in front of the stable, looked at the sky, and couldn't help frowning.

It stands to reason that Wei Tong has been away for so long, so he should come back at this time.Could it be that Mr. Wei San was not in the camp, or was he held back by something?

Wei Yue had his reasons for letting Wei Tong speak before.

After observation, Zhao Jianeng asserted that Liu Rong must have something to ask for in this trip.Zhao Jia was a little uncertain about what he was asking for and whether he could agree to it.The reason why I took him to visit the livestock farm was to delay time.

However, Wei Yue did not come for a long time, and no one sent a message, so Zhao Jia was inevitably a little worried.

Zhao Jia was right, Wei Yue was indeed dragged down by the matter.

Not long after Wei Tong flew into the camp, the Qiang people who had surrendered before saw Wei Yue and said that there were two Qiang tribes who could not bear to be looted by the Huns, and they moved south, hoping to surrender to the Han.
