I was engaged in infrastructure construction in the Han Dynasty [Transmigration Book]

Lu Xuan came back to his senses and held his hand and said, "It's nothing...just...why was Your Majesty angry before?"

Liu Tan was a little surprised: "Why are you still thinking about this?"

Lu Xuan hesitated and said: "Is it because of me..."

Only then did Liu Tan understand what he was worried about, and he couldn't help but squeezed his hand and said, "Don't think about it, it has nothing to do with you, it's just because of a ballad."

Lu Xuan was a little surprised: "What ballad?"

Liu Tan recounted the incident, and seeing Lu Xuan's frown tightened as he listened, there was no trace of anger on his face and he said, "Don't worry about it, it's not a big deal."

Lu Xuan said solemnly: "Then you have to find out who is behind the scenes, otherwise the first plan will fail, and he will definitely have a second plan. This first plan is already so vicious, and the second plan may directly kill you gone."

Liu Tan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, they can only think about it. The guards around me are not vegetarians, they are all elite soldiers and strong generals."

Lu Xuan didn't say anything more, after much deliberation, he decided to send someone to investigate.

It's just that he doesn't have any arrangements in the northern border country. After all, it is Liu Tan's territory. Putting too many people might make Liu Tan feel that he doesn't trust him.

But he didn't feel at ease if he didn't care about anything, so he simply said, "I asked my people to ask those Huns."

Liu Tan didn't object, and asking Lu Xuan to investigate would make him feel at ease.

As expected, Lu Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked, "By the way, what did you ask me just now?"

Liu Tan was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I ask what you want to eat."

Lu Xuan thought about it seriously: "I don't think there's anything I want to eat." He turned his head to look at Liu Tan and said with a smile, "The food here is so good, I'm a bit reluctant to leave."

Liu Tan said: "No, I just want to get something new for my father. I couldn't think of anything new just now, but now I have figured it out."

Lu Xuan curiously asked: "What?"

Liu Tan said, "Hot pot."

"What?" For a moment, Lu Xuan doubted his ears: "Hot pot?"

Liu Tan nodded seriously, and Lu Xuan couldn't help but said: "This... it sounds very hot, isn't the weather right now?"

"Wrong, wrong, wrong!" Liu Tan said, shaking his index finger: "It's because eating hot pot in summer is enjoyable, but of course, you can't just eat like this, otherwise it would be too much to suffer while sweating while eating."

Lu Xuan asked: "Then how do you solve it?"

Liu Tan turned to look at Lu Xuan with a smile and said, "Secret!"

Seeing his sly look, Lu Xuan almost couldn't hold back, it's because the two of them haven't been close for a long time.

It has been two months since Liu Che arrived in the northern border country. Although the two of them meet every day, they hold hands and hug each other from time to time when no one is around, but that's it, the further intimacy is gone. .

Liu Tan was better, he didn't seem to be hard to bear when he was busy with things, but the problem was that Lu Xuan's anger had nowhere to disperse, and he felt that he was about to bear the limit.

Liu Che knew what Lu Xuan was thinking when he saw Lu Xuan's expression, he hesitated for a while and took him to his bedroom.

But because they were in Longevity Palace, the two of them didn't dare to be presumptuous, at most they were helping each other.

After the two of them cleaned up and calmed down, Liu Tan asked drowsily, "Emperor Father asked you to hand in the expedition strategy, did you write it?"

Lu Xuan said softly: "It has already been handed in, His Majesty didn't say anything."

Liu Tan didn't ask too much, anyway, he is definitely not as good as Lu Xuan in terms of fighting, so he simply asked: "Then when will you go to war?"

"Before and after the winter solstice."

All the sleepy bugs on Liu Tan's body were immediately chased away, and he asked in surprise, "What did you say? When?"

"Before and after the winter solstice, it may be earlier or later, but it will not be earlier than Lidong."

Liu Tan raised his upper body slightly and looked at him and asked, "I said, it was already very cold at that time, how can we fight in the freezing and snowy world?"

This action made Lu Xuan see the marks left by him at a glance. He couldn't help but move his Adam's apple slightly, and stretched out his hand to pull the person into his arms. His voice was a little hoarse: "It's okay, I just want to choose this time, and it's time to come." It’s not as cold as ice and snow, where is the snow.”

Liu Tan said: "Although it doesn't snow often here, whenever it snows, it's a blizzard, a catastrophe, what do you think?"

Lu Xuan said: "But the more this happens, the more invincible the Huns will be, right?"

Liu Tan frowned slightly. It was impossible for the Huns to start a war except to plunder the border in winter, because they didn't have enough supplies.

Of course, if it is tougher, the military rations will definitely be supplied, but the price may be that countless Hun people will die this winter.

It would be a good idea for Lu Xuan to consume the Huns while fighting, but...

He still couldn't help but said, "But...can you do it there?"

Lu Xuan kissed him and said: "Of course, don't forget, I have the support of a big man behind me."

Yes, the Huns didn't have supplies, so what if they didn't have enough food and grass, the big men did, and although the big men generally wouldn't fight in winter, Liu Che would not interfere with Lu Xuan's choice of the time for the expedition.

As for the food and grass that Lu Xuan needs, Liu Che will try his best to provide it.

And Liu Che's request is also very simple, if there is a chance, try to kill Wushilu as much as possible.

Wu Shilu pays too much attention to Liu Tan and is too persistent, which is not a good thing.

Even if Liu Tan didn't take Wushilu seriously at all, it was a hidden danger after all.

Not to mention that when Lu Xuan was young and ignorant, he once thought about snatching Liu Tan back to the grassland. Although Wu Shilu is not young, he has a problem with his mind.

No one knows if he will suddenly fall ill and bring the army here just to snatch Liu Tan back.

Shuofang City, where Liu Tan lives, is not too far away from Wang Ting. Thinking about it this way, both Liu Che and Lu Xuan are very disturbed.

Lu Xuan once asked Liu Che why he didn't change the title of Liu Tan when he handed in the strategy. In his opinion, although Liu Che indulged Liu Tan, he was definitely not the kind who insisted on discussing the result with his children at such a dangerous time. parents.

Liu Che's answer at that time made Lu Xuan a little surprised, not for anything else, just because Liu Tan was more suitable here, and he was more able to deter Wushilu.

Yes, shock and awe.

No matter how greedy Liu Tan is in Wushilu, he dare not act rashly now, because no one knows how many cards Liu Tan has in his hand.

But if it was replaced by someone else, Shuofang City, which had just started to improve, might become the "granary" of the Huns again.At the same time, Chang'an will be threatened.

With Liu Tan here, Changan can feel more at ease.

After hearing this, Lu Xuan didn't speak. He knew that Liu Che's idea was right. In the face of national interests, sometimes personal feelings need to be compromised.

Does Liu Che have feelings for Liu Tan?Yes, otherwise why would you come here every year and even try to give Liu greater authority?

It was because Liu Tan was capable, and also because he wanted Liu Tan to have more security.

But that's all, if Liu Tan had just arrived in the northern border country, Liu Che would have thought about finding him a better fief again, but now he has no such idea at all.

Lu Xuan could understand, but he couldn't accept it.

It's just that he didn't talk to Liu about these things, and the only thing he could do was to suppress Wushilu as much as possible.

So we can only take the risk with the sword, otherwise how can Wusun compete with the Xiongnu?

Lu Xuan didn't want to talk to Liu about these horrible things, just when he wanted to change the subject, he heard Liu Tan say: "Since this is the case, I will find a way to get you some good military rations, um, after the emperor leaves , There is still a period of time before you set off, so it should be fine."

Lu Xuan said with a smile: "Okay."

After he finished speaking, he paused and asked: "You don't know yet, do you? I just got the news two days ago that Jun Xumi is seriously ill. It is said that he has been sick for a few days."

Liu Tan moved his ears and asked, "Is it really sick or poisoned?"

Lu Xuan smiled slightly: "Is there a difference? A poison that cannot be detected is a disease."

When Liu Tan heard it, he knew it immediately, and said with some regret: "I thought it was Jun Xumi who did many injustices, and even God was helping Danyang, but it doesn't matter. Count the days, and Danyang should be born in a few months." Now, if something happened to him at that time, it would be easy for Danyang to get angry, and it's just right now."

Lu Xuan said: "You can rest assured about this, Princess Danyang is not stupid, the child in her belly is very important, once Jun Xumi dies, the royal family will only have this one child left, nothing can happen."

Liu Tan couldn't help laughing: "Who said it was the only one? What if they find you?"

Lu Xuan said: "Me? I'm fine now, who is going to clean up the mess for them? Danyang is looking at the scenery now, but in fact, when she really takes over, she will know that it is rotten from top to bottom."

Liu Tan frowned: "In this case, we have to make preparations in advance."

Lu Xuan asked: "What preparation? Let the other side be like me? Let Princess Danyang please seal her child?"

Liu Tan shook his head: "No, it's not the same. If there is no one who can take charge of the overall situation according to what you said, why should the big man be crowned the throne? Just merge into the big man and become the people of the big man."

Lu Xuan was a little surprised: "This... I thought you wanted Princess Danyang to be in power."

Liu Tan said: "I thought so before, but... Danyang is too foolish."

Liu Tan had a headache. He really didn't expect Danyang to be pregnant with someone else's child, so he had to get rid of Junxumi in advance.

You must know that Princess Danyang has only been in the past few years, and she has not gained a firm foothold there. According to Liu Tan's idea, Princess Danyang should at least gather almost all the people there, keep those who cooperate, and kill those who do not cooperate. She will kill Jun Xumi after she is sure.

As a result, a child who was born out of nowhere had to let them act in advance. If Lu Xuan didn't help in time, I'm afraid that some kind of trouble might happen.

Under such circumstances, Liu Tan was worried that if Danyang was to control Wusun, don't turn around and risk his life.

Lu Xuan said: "Don't think too much about that side. Those people are fighting among themselves. To put it bluntly, with their level, Princess Danyang is more than enough to deal with them. You probably don't know that Princess Danyang has already arranged for her child. Married? Now she has the strongest family support over there, don't worry."
