After Liu Xiu wiped out several rebels in the north, he was in great momentum and led his troops to besiege Luoyang. After a great war, Emperor Gengshi Liu Xuan was defeated and directly sought peace. Liu Xiu appointed Liu Xuan as the King of Changsha and established the capital of Luoyang. Since then, the north has been initially decided.

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

He was very determined and wanted to unify the Han Dynasty, but other forces could slow down. The strongest force in front of him was Jiang Hao's troops in Chang'an.

Naturally, he also had an in-depth understanding of his opponent Liu Xiu. Jiang Hao was originally a military officer of the Western Regions Protectorate of the Great Han Dynasty. The Western Regions Protectorate was abolished. Jiang Hao initiated the Western Regions and started his business with more than 100 remnants. He contacted the countries in the Western Regions, killed the right wise king of the Xiongnu in one battle, and then married the Queen of Kucha and became the regent of Kucha.

It took only one year to develop to this level, which shows that Jiang Hao is definitely a person with deep knowledge of strategy.

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

What does he want to do?

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

Liu Xiu was shocked and was thinking about him, so he sent him a letter, "Hurry up, ask someone to present it."

Soon a side general wearing armor entered the hall. When he saw Liu Xiu, he knelt on one knee and saluted, "Greetings to Your Majesty, Jiang Hao, who occupied Chang'an, sent someone to send a letter to the front line. The general sent me 800 miles in a hurry."

"Get up!"

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

Liu Xiu immediately recruited his ministers and advisers to discuss that Deng Yu was Liu Xiu's number one adviser and Liu Xiu's teacher. After reading Jiang Hao's letter, he said, "Jiang Hao is different from ordinary people. Now we will be hostile, but he invited His Majesty to see the scenery, and I don't know what the deep meaning is hidden."

Chen Jun next to him said, "I'm afraid there's a fraud. Do you want to hold a Hongmen banquet? I don't have to pay attention to him. Now we have much more soldiers than him, just fight."

Du Mao shook his head, "Although he only has tens of thousands of soldiers, he is all elite cavalry. Most of us are infantry, and the cavalry goes around, and our army will inevitably suffer heavy losses."

"What if he was going to murder His Majesty?" said someone.

Several important officials all expressed their thoughts, and finally looked at Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu thought while listening to the comments of his ministers, 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 should be made, so I'll ask you all generals for my safety."

......

By the Yellow River,

The embankment is covered with green trees, and under a large tree, there are carpets and two tables, with beef, mutton and Western wine on it.

Jiang Hao had already been waiting here, and Pang Xiong and Su Mu stood by to serve 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. People also called him a big river. Until the Tang Dynasty, the forests in the upper reaches were over-cut, soil erosion became increasingly serious, and the water of the Yellow River turned yellow, which was changed to the Yellow River.

The three cavalry came slowly, and Liu Xiu had already investigated it. Jiang Hao only brought 500 personal guards from Chang'an this time and did not arrange heavy troops around. However, for safety reasons, he still brought 1,000 troops here.

Today, Liu Xiu did not wear a crown suit, but a black gold-edged casual suit. Liu Xiu and Jiang Hao looked at each other, and both of them were looking at each other carefully.

I have to say that Liu Xiu is pretty good-looking and talented. He should be 30 years old this year. Damn, he is the emperor at the age of 30 and the founding emperor. He is also the first person in history.

Jiang Hao opened his eyes and looked at Liu Xiu, and he was almost blinded by his titanium alloy dog ​​eyes, golden. Liu Xiu was covered with a solid layer of gold, as if there was an extra body-protecting golden light shield.

This luck is simply protected by God.

Liu Xiu also looked at Jiang Hao again, feeling that Jiang Hao was not as burly and stout as he imagined, but he was very elegant and handsome. However, the heroic spirit between his eyebrows could not be hidden, and people could see that he naturally had a lot of mind and firmness.

"Emperor Jianwu, please sit down."

"Regent, please, too."

The two sat down. 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 staring at the two of them. Pang Xiong was not willing to be outdone, and his eyes were looking at each other fiercely.

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

Liu Xiu looked at the food on the table and said with a smile: "Western Regional Wine and Western Regional Special Food, we naturally have to taste it."

After saying that, he picked up the knife placed next to him, cut a piece of mutton and put it into his mouth. After chewing it for a few times, he said, "Well, the taste is really wonderful, it's a bit spicy."

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

"Ah~~, is it the style of you Western Regions people who drink and eat meat like this?" Liu Xiu said with a smile.

Jiang Hao had to praise him in his heart, and he was worthy of being Emperor Guangwu. With this kind of courage, how many people could do it.

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

"Of course I'm curious, but I know, you will naturally say it when the time comes." Liu Xiu said calmly.

"What does Emperor Jianwu think about today?"

"Haha, sooner or later, it is the general trend for the great man to control the world." Liu Xiu said confidently.

"Then when does Emperor Jianwu think it can be unified?"

Liu Xiu was asked now, pondered for a while and looked at Jiang Hao and said, "If you and I are enemies, you may not succeed in ten years. If you and I are friends, you may succeed in five years."

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

Liu Xiu shook his head, "What I said is that it may not be successful in ten years. It is possible that the Han Dynasty will fall into your hands in the end, and I can't see through you."

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

Liu Xiu was stunned, "I came on a horse."

"Have you ever heard of TVs, RMB, tractors, and electric lights and telephones?" Jiang Hao did not answer and asked again.

Liu Xiu shook his head confused: "What are these?"

Jiang Hao could see this person's expression, but he really didn't know these things. He smiled and said, "It's just some small things."

"Regent, invite me to come, but I haven't said that what's the matter? Is it really a good idea to see the scenery?" Liu Xiu asked.

After seeing Liu Xiu's luck before, Jiang Hao had an idea in his mind and said, "Your Majesty, I think it's better to be sworn brothers than to be sworn brothers."

Jiang Hao used the most powerful move. If you have the forbidden spell, I am shameless.

The expression on Liu Xiu's face suddenly became very exciting. He called himself his Majesty and actually pulled him to worship him. These are the meanings.

However, Liu Xiu is a very thoughtful person. He noticed as he turned his eyes. He immediately smiled and said with a smile: "Okay, I also think it's better to be a sworn brother than to be a brother. How old are you?"

"There are twenty-seven this year." Jiang Hao said.

Liu Xiu was obviously relieved, "I am thirty years older than you."

"Ah, then you are your brother. Brother is here, please bow to me." Jiang Hao stood up and respectfully gave Liu Xiu a 90-degree bent down and bowed.

Liu Xiu quickly stood up to support him.

Pang Xiong Su Mu and Liu Xiu were both stunned. The development rhythm seemed very strange.

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

Soon, Su Mu took out the incense burner, sandalwood and other items from the aristol and placed it at the river. Liu Xiu was surprised to see it and thought that he had prepared it before.

Jiang Hao and Liu Xiu bowed three times to the river by the Yellow River. From now on, they became brothers and shared life and death.

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

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

Jiang Hao asked Liu Xiu to return to the table, and took out the place where he had just sat, took out a yellow package, and after opening it, a large seal was revealed. Liu Xiu immediately held his breath when he saw the large seal.

"This is, this is the jade seal of the country!" Liu Xiu said excitedly.

Liu Xiu naturally knew the value of the imperial seal. One of his purposes to take Chang'an and Jiang Hao was to get the imperial seal, which was an important proof of the emperor's throne.

"Yes, I will give it to my brother as a meeting gift." Jiang Hao said as he held Liu Xiu with both hands.

Liu Xiu took it excitedly, touching the jade seal with a look of surprise in his eyes, but soon he calmed down, put the jade seal down, looked at Jiang Hao and said, "Brother gave me such a big gift, I don't know what to give to my brother."

"Brother, since you and I are brothers, why not give me a gift?" Jiang Hao said.

"Ah, yes, what's the best gift?" Liu Xiu pondered.

Jiang Hao took out the two letters of titles written by Wang Mang to Jiang Hao before and said, "Brother, look, I will catch Wang Mang. Wang Mang is willing to give me a general, a marquis, and finally a king. I am not happy."

This is telling Liu Xiu that I don’t want to be younger.

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

Jiang Hao said, "My plan is very simple. I have no intention of fighting for the world. I am going to give up Chang'an, retreat to the desert, fight. I go to fight with the Huns, and kill them. After fighting the Huns, I may go west, go to the Great Yuezhi, go to the Kushan Kingdom, go to the Anxu Kingdom, go to the Great Qin Kingdom to see it, swim in the Mediterranean Sea, and touch the walls of the Holy City."

Liu Xiu glanced at Jiang Hao deeply and said, "You are so far away, but I just think about how to stabilize the great man so that the people will no longer be in war and live a prosperous life."

In fact, Jiang Hao thinks Liu Xiu’s goal is even more difficult.

"Okay, I will grant you the title of King of the Western Regions, rule the countries in the Western Regions, and safeguard the security of the Western Han Dynasty. Going west, you will be your fiefdom wherever you go." Liu Xiu said loudly.

Jiang Hao smiled and immediately asked Su Mu to bring a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, "Brother, write it down, there is a jade seal here."

Liu Xiu was stunned,

This guy, you can't have planned everything.

Emperor Jianwu wrote his own reward edict on a yellow juan cloth and granted Jiang Hao the title of King of the West, which was inherited and replaced by the emperor. The west of Yumen Pass was Jiang Hao's fiefdom. It depends on his own ability and governs the affairs of various countries in the Western Regions. The fiefdoms under his jurisdiction do not have to be paid taxes, and all belong to the King of the West.

"Bang!"

The imperial seal was pressed heavily.

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

"Will the host return now?"
