Although Mrs. Wu is middle-aged, she is still beautiful. She speaks with a clear and natural manner. She is not as down-looking as an ordinary Han woman, and looks like a kind of exotic beauty. The little emperor curiously asked about her origin, but Mrs. Wu was not embarrassed and explained her original background in detail.

Liu Penzi guessed correctly that Mrs. Wu is indeed a mixed-race child. Her father is a Hun, her mother is a Kucha, the Huns are a standard yellow race, and the Kucha is a Tocharian, and she belongs to the white race. Therefore, Mrs. Wu is a yellow-white and mixed-race child, with an outstanding appearance commonly seen by mixed-race children.

Mrs. Wu’s complex bloodline was caused by the vassal system during the Han Dynasty.

Since Emperor Wu of Han, the Han Dynasty carried out large-scale foreign conquest activities, attacked the Huns, and dug up the Western Regions. The number of foreigners who surrendered were increasing. These people were all placed in border counties. Because of their customs and systems, they were completely different from those of the Han Dynasty and were not suitable for the same management as ordinary people. Therefore, the court decided to "because of their customs" and let them continue their old customs and lifestyles and manage them with vassal systems. The highest chief of the vassal state was called "vassal state commander", and their power was equivalent to that of the county magistrates in the mainland, but because they were located in border counties, their responsibilities were more focused on military affairs.

Shangjun has a "Gucha Vatican" and is managed by the Kucha Vatican. Mrs. Wu's maternal line is the Kucha nobles in the Kucha Vatican. Her father is the little king of the Huns who are attached to the inner king. Her ancestors moved to Shangjun with the entire tribe decades ago and were under the jurisdiction of the "Gucha Vatican". Mrs. Wu is the product of intermarriage between two inner nations.

Mrs. Wu's beauty is in a strong contrast with Wu Chun's rudeness. Looking at this couple, people unconsciously think of two things that are often compared with flowers and cow dung.

Liu Penzi was not only concerned about Mrs. Wu's appearance, but also about her social relations. Mrs. Wu's brother was still in Shangjun and was the leader of a small tribe. Wu Mi grew up in her tribe. Mrs. Wu's mother's family was not an ordinary person, and the current chief clerk of the Kucha vassal state was her cousin.

If the emperor wanted to run Shangjun, both of these relationships might be of great use.

Liu Penzi couldn't help but start thinking. Now the general of the North who conquered the North was alone in Linjin. His strength was much worse than that of Deng Yu and Gong Chengxi. If he just sticks to Linjin, it would be a big problem, but the emperor, General Hetian, was unwilling to stop there. Both of them were thinking about crossing the Yellow River to the east and advancing Hedong. To achieve this strategic goal, Tian Kuang must defeat the winner of the battle between Deng Yu and Gong Chengxi.

The victorious emperor has obtained information from the memory of the previous life. He was Liu Xiu's former general Deng Yu. After Deng Yu defeated Gong Chengxi, he did not directly attack Chang'an, but went north to Shangjun, north and calm the three counties, and almost no resistance was encountered, because these border counties had no independent capital and ambitions, and whoever was the master of the Central Plains surrendered to. In addition, Deng Yu's strict military discipline and legal tutoring, he successfully completed the transfer of power.

However, although General Deng had a high political level and average military ability, he was definitely the leader of the twenty-eight generals in Yuntai. He was definitely not because of his military record. In history, he later entered Chang'an, but was defeated by the Red Eyebrow Army. In the end, he only fled with twenty-four horses, leaving a mess, and in the end, Feng Yi came out to clean up the mess for him.

Tian Kuang's military ability is definitely higher than Deng Yu, and all he can do is his strength. If he can go north first, introduce reinforcements from vassal states, even pacify the three counties, recruit young and strong people, collect food and grass, and enhance his strength, Tian Kuang's situation will be greatly improved and he will have the capital to advance eastward. From this point of view, Mrs. Wu still has great value to be utilized.

It seems that the Wu family also opened a treasure chest this time.

On that day, Wuchun held a banquet, and Madam Wu did not avoid it and sat in the same position with Wuchun. The emperor asked the generals of each song to toast the master. Sure enough, Wuchun was very enthusiastic about Wang Meng, and even Madam Wu couldn't help but look at him a few more times.

The emperor waved to Wu Gai who was standing beside him and asked in a low voice: "Ling Tang can attend the hospitality, why are your sister... Ling Mei missing?"

This is quite shameless. You, a group of men, want to let your unmarried sister come out to entertain guests. What do you mean? But His Majesty is thicker than the city wall. For the sake of the lifelong happiness of your good brother, he asked it bluntly.

Wu Gai smiled slightly with a good temper, "Go back to Your Majesty, the sister is still here just now."

"Ah, where, why didn't I see it?"

"It's right behind my mother."

After thinking about it, Liu Penzi seemed to have two women standing behind Mrs. Wu. She thought she was a maid, but she didn't pay attention to it and didn't remember what she looked like.

It seems that Wu Xiaomei also went on a blind date, so she had to take a look at it with her own eyes to rest assured that the women of the Han Dynasty were quite open, especially these aliens, who were not as closed as after Neo-Confucianism was prevalent in later generations.

At this time, Wang Meng and Hu Gouzi came to toast, and the emperor asked, "Do you pay attention to see if you are behind Mrs. Wu?"

Wang Meng said: "I've noticed it, I can see clearly, first roasted lamb legs, then Hu cakes, and then..."

"Who asked you what you had eaten? I'm asking someone!"

"Man? Men and women? Didn't pay attention! I just saw that the dishes were served from there."

I have to say that this is a pretty pure foodie.

But his brother Hu Gouzi is different. Hu Gouzi has a skill that he has seen and can only remember every person he has seen. No matter how many people there are at the scene, he can accurately tell his physical characteristics whenever he asks one of them.

At this time, Hu Gouzi said, "Your Majesty, I've watched. There were two women behind Mrs. Wu first, and then two men were changed. Which one would you ask?"

"Ask the woman of course."

"The one on the left is pointed face and thin eyebrows, and the one on the right is round face and big eyes. You don't want to say it, they all look good. Does Your Majesty...hehe?"

The emperor smiled and said, "It's not me, it's our Wang Daqu Chang. Wu Gai's sister came to see him just now."

"It's fine, both of them are beauties. No matter which one, it's definitely right to marry me. Mengzi, listen to me and just go to propose marriage. You kid are really lucky!"

Wang Meng smiled and didn't say anything, and seemed relieved.

The emperor said, "If you are satisfied, I will arrange for you. If you are not satisfied, I will not force you. Whether you succeed or not is waiting for you."

Wang Meng smiled silly, "I do."

"Save this to the priest!"

The emperor tried to be safe and asked Hu Gouzi and Wu Gai to discuss. Wu Gai immediately ran to his mother and muttered for a long time. When he came back, he smiled and said that their family was very fond of Wang Meng.

"Your sister, it's all right for your sister to like it. What do you like?"

The emperor took advantage of the alcohol and immediately proposed marriage to Wuchun. After hearing this, Wuchun laughed: "Your Majesty, this is a good thing!"

A marriage was settled after a big drink.

With this reason, everyone was drinking happily. Ethnic minorities were really not a big deal. Wuchun had a lot of alcohol, and Madam Wu even refused every cup. The little emperor was still young and avoided many cups. Wang Meng was an 18-year-old adult and a groom-for-bet. He suddenly became a concentration point for many firepower. He was drunk by the Wu family and his brothers, and he still couldn't wake up until the next day.

The emperor was anxious to set off, and without waiting for him, he left Wang Meng directly on the grounds that Yang Yanshou raised a large amount of grain from Shiliwu and wanted to send it to Zheng County, so that he could stay in Pingdingwu to receive it. A few days later, he would carry the grain back.

The emperor brought the army back to Zheng County. Zhuge Zhi breathed a sigh of relief and rushed back to the Prime Minister's words. However, Wang Erlenzi returned to the disaster relief site as soon as possible to continue to maintain order. The emperor did not expect that he was so dedicated.

The envoy of General Xia Yang was in Zheng County and had been waiting for the little emperor for two days, bringing good news.

Xia Yang led a thousand soldiers to set out from Chenyang County, and was ordered by the emperor to pacify nearby counties and counties, and successively pacified Wucheng, Huxian and other places. Now the troops stationed in Huxian, with thousands of troops. He originally wanted to settle in Hongnong County, but because there were two battalions of the Red Eyebrow Army stationed there, he refused to enter on the grounds that he had not received the order. Xia Yang sent someone to report to the emperor.

Hongnong is located on the east side of Zuofengyi and is the gateway to Guanzhong. One of the most famous passes in ancient times, Hangu Pass, is located in Hongnong.

There are many explanations for the "Guanzhong Region" in ancient times, but the general scope is similar. Generally, this "Guan" refers to Hangu Pass, which is called "Guandong" east of Hangu Pass, and is called "Guanzhong" or "Guanxi" west of Hangu Pass. As the saying goes, "Guanxi will be the general, and Guandong will be the prime minister." This is because Guanxi was an ancient Qin region. The Qin people were good at fighting, but they developed late and had a poor cultural level. The Kanto region is the traditional core area of ​​China, with early development and high cultural level.

Hongnong's strategic position is very important. Hangu Pass controls the narrow and long "Guhandao" and can be said to be "one man should be the pass, but ten thousand men cannot open it". As long as Hangu Pass is closed, it is even more difficult to invade from the east. During the Warring States Period, the six Kanto countries organized coalition forces to attack Qin many times, including the famous five countries headed by Xinling Jun to attack Qin. Although Qin was defeated, it didn't matter. As long as they retreated into Hangu Pass, they would easily block the troops of the five countries from the country.

The order given to Xia Yang by the little emperor was to continue to advance eastward, occupy the entire territory of Hongnong, and firmly control Hangu Pass in his own hands. Then he entered Yiyang to fight for Zhu Yu, the Gengshi Sima of Luoyang.

As for the various battalions of the Red Eyebrow Army in Hongnong, we must strive to act with them and drive out the remnants of the Gengshi regime in Hongnong.

The emperor still cannot command the generals of each battalion, but we are all in the same group and will not be enemies of each other. Joint operations are still very likely to be achieved. As for how much we can unite, it depends on Xia Yang's ability.

The emperor immediately gave out a big official hat and appointed Xia Yang as the prefect of Hongnong and the general of the East. He could appoint lower-level officials on his own during the holidays.

He said to the envoy: "You will go back to Hu County immediately and inform General Xia that I will increase his troops for him by thousands and raise food and grass for him, so that the general will never have any worries."
