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

Li Xi on the side looked blank: "What is a hot air balloon...?"

Liu Tan said: "I asked Huo Guang to prepare this before, but I didn't expect it to be really used."

Although the boat is more suitable, the problem is that the boat is not easy to transport or manufacture, but the hot air balloon is more convenient.

The only thing to worry about now is the direction of the hot air balloon. It seems that this thing is not easy to control. You can only choose a time when the wind direction is right for the hot air balloon to take off.

As for whether it will work... how will you know if you don't try?

Liu Tan not only wants to send someone to take a hot air balloon to find Xiaoli Lake, but also to send an airdrop to Xiaoli Lake to let him know what justice is from heaven.

Li Xi was even more at a loss after hearing this: "This...is it okay?"

Liu Tanxin said that I don't know either. Isn't this just... try it.

If it really doesn't work, we can only let Xiaoli Lake go far away. After all, going forward is to shoot. They are also an independent regime and have no friction with the big man-maybe they don't even know the existence of the big man, so where to go to fight.

Since Dragon City fell into the palm of his hand, Liu Tan's burden has been reduced a lot. Now he just wants to drive Xiaoli Lake further, and at the same time, it is best to weaken his subordinates, so that even if the Huns want to rise After a very long process.

However, the eastward migration of the Huns is certain, and then they will gradually integrate other ethnic groups into their own tribes during the war, and then they will rise.

Liu Tan thought about the east side... now only the Fuyu country is left. Even if Xiaoli Lake passes by, he must first beat the Fuyu country to the ground. Annexed, or simply annexed by the flexion from the north.

While Liu Tan was thinking about this, the hot air balloon had already been assembled.

It was the first time for many people present to see a hot air balloon. No, it should be said that except for Liu Tan and Lu Xuan, it was the first time for everyone else to see a hot air balloon. When the huge hot air balloon unfolded, everyone watched. Straighten your eyes.

Especially when the hot air balloon took off, there was a burst of cheers.

Li Xi looked up at the hot air balloon in a daze, and couldn't help muttering, "Miracle, it's really a miracle."

Liu Tan glanced at him and didn't bother to correct him. Anyway, he wasn't the only one who said that, and there were many people who said that in Chang'an.

Some people even ran with the hot air balloon when it flew away.

But now there are only two people on the hot air balloon, Miao Rui and Bi Gao.

There is no way, except for Lu Xuan talking to Liu, the two of them have experience in hot air balloons.

Moreover, the strength of these two people is not low. If the two of them add a few mines, even if they can't blow up Xiaoli Lake, they will still cause some casualties.

Liu Tan was really relieved to watch the hot air balloon slowly fly away in the direction specified at the beginning.

He was afraid of the direction of the hot air balloon before. As for the landing... anyway, Liu Tan told him that the two of them can come back first after landing, and leave the hot air balloon there waiting to be picked up.

Anyway, even if this thing is given to those foreigners, those people may not know how to use it, not to mention that there is a desert to the east of Langjuxu Mountain.

But he couldn't see it, but Liu Tan could still see it. He watched the hot air balloon fly over Gonglushui, and after floating for a while, basically even with a telescope at this time, there was only a small dot left. .

Then he heard the familiar explosion.

What surprised him was that he only heard one sound, and the second sound was always delayed, which made him a little nervous: "Why don't you throw it away?"

Lu Xuan on the side was also watching with a binoculars, and suddenly said: "The Huns on the opposite side have all run away!"

Liu Tan hurriedly moved his gaze down, and found that the soldiers who were originally stationed on the opposite bank started to flee in all directions.

He was a little surprised and said, "Is one so powerful?"

Lu Xuan smiled and said: "Perhaps what scares them more is the hot air balloon flying in the sky."

Liu Tan thought about it and it was true that because of his inability to fly, humans generally believed that only gods could fly to the sky. Compared with the powder keg that had already given the Huns some access, hot air balloons might scare them more.

Liu Tan stroked his chin and said, "But you still have to be careful, first send someone to try to cross the river."

Although there is no boat, they still have bamboo rafts and skin rafts, and the first person to cross the river has another task, which is to build a bridge.

Li Xi asked a little strangely: "If it goes well, the Xiaoli Lake should have been bombed to death at this time, even if you don't die, you will lose your skin. Why does your Highness insist on crossing the river?"

Liu Tan looked up into the distance and said, "I want to see Langjuxu Mountain."

Li Xi didn't say anything after hearing this, and he was also a little emotional.

He has never been to Langjuxu Mountain, but for the whole man, this is basically a revisit of his old place.

What is reassuring is that the soldiers on the other side were really scared and lost their souls. Seeing the Han people trembling one by one, they dared not resist when they were arrested, let alone stop them from building a bridge.

When Liu talked about the past, he saw those captives and did not expect that being able to fly would deal a greater blow to these people.

When facing the powder keg, these people had the heart to fight, but now they are extremely obedient.

After all these soldiers were captured, Liu Tan sent people to search for the whereabouts of Xiaoli Lake.

However, apart from an unrecognizable camp that had been bombed, there was no sign of Xiaoli Lake.

There are many corpses in the camp, but they are all old and weak women and children.

After hearing this, Liu Tan sighed slightly. As long as there is a war, it doesn't matter whether he is innocent or not.

However, he didn't care if Xiaolihu escaped, but he just took people all the way to Langjuxu Mountain.

When he reached the foot of Langjuxu Mountain, Liu Tan looked at the tents in the distance and hesitated for a moment: "Those people in front... you say..."

Before he finished speaking, Lu Xuan said very firmly: "It's Xiaoli Lake."

The corner of Liu Tan's mouth twitched: "He...is really unlucky."

I didn't intend to continue chasing him, but I still ran into him.

In fact, the camp where they were stationed at Xiaoli Lake was further southeast than Langjuxu Mountain. That is to say, according to Liu Tan's prediction, the other party should run to the southeast or east. As a result...the other party actually killed the carbine and ran to the The wolf who lives near Xu Mountain is also drunk.

Apparently Xiaolihu was also very surprised when he saw the Han army. He was not frightened and even organized people to resist, but the problem is that there are no one left around him now, and Liu Tan...... There are basically no casualties for those who die from diseases. Regardless of equipment issues, you can win by numbers.

When Xiaolihu was caught, he had already been shot by an arrow. There were traces of blood on the corner of his mouth. He looked at Liu Tan bitterly and asked, "You... how do you know I'm here?"

Liu Tan said: "I want to say it's all a coincidence, do you believe it?"

Xiaolihu's expression was obviously disbelief, Liu Tan smiled, looked up at Langjuxu Mountain and said, "Then it's my heroes who are protecting us."

Xiaolihu wanted to say something more, but Liu Tan didn't want to listen anymore, he waved his hand and said, "Take him down and heal his injuries, I think Father will be happy."

Thinking that Xiongnu Shan was able to sit on an equal footing with Liu Che back then, but now he is a prisoner, Liu Che should be very satisfied.

But Liu Tan, who captured Xili Lake alive, was very calm. He looked up at the mountain in front of him for a long time, stroked his chin and said, "This is Langjuxu Mountain, it's different from what I thought."

I don't know if there is a problem with the addition of idol aura, but in Liu Tan's imagination, Langjuxu Mountain should be particularly tall, tall and lush.

The mountain in front of me is not very short, but it has nothing to do with being tall and tall, and it has nothing to do with being lush and green. The whole mountain is bare and there are no plants.

But if you think about it, this is the edge of the desert, the water source is not so abundant, and the mountains are certainly not so light.

Lu Xuan stood beside him and asked, "I finally saw you, are you satisfied?"

Liu Tan turned to look at him and said with a smile, "It's not enough just to take a look, you have to climb up anyway."

Lu Xuan looked at the sky and said, "It's already very late today, let's wait until tomorrow."

Liu Tan nodded without objecting.

The next day I heard that Liu Tan was going to go to Langjuxu Mountain, and Li Xi and others were going to follow.

Even though Dragon City has been captured now, this mountain is still different in the hearts of the Han people.

When going up the mountain, Lu Xuan discovered that Liu Tan had someone carry a box nearly one person's height up, and thanks to the relatively gentle terrain of this mountain, otherwise it would be really difficult to get up.

He couldn't help asking: "What is this?"

Liu Tan glanced at the box and said, "You'll know when you get to the mountain."

Everyone was curious about what Liu Tan got up there, and after he got to the mountain, he walked around the mountain, found the most middle position, and asked someone to put down the box and open it.

The moment the box was opened, everyone felt a flash of golden light, which was a bit dazzling, and they closed their eyes subconsciously.

When they opened their eyes again, they saw that there was a golden statue in front of them!

The main body of the golden statue is a young general riding a horse. The horse is galloping vigorously, while the young general is bending his bow and nodding his arrows, as if aiming at the enemy and preparing to shoot.

Li Xi stared at the statue for a long while before whispering, "Champion Lord."

Liu Tan knelt down and wiped the place where the name and taboo were engraved at the bottom of the golden statue. It was stained with some dust when it was just dropped.

After wiping it clean, it simply read: Huo Qubing (the first year of Jianyuan - the sixth year of Yuanshou)

Liu Tan stood up and said, "I originally wanted to write something else, but... these few words are enough."

Yes, as long as this name is mentioned, no one does not know his exploits.

Li Xi came back to his senses and asked: "Your Highness...is this too...too extravagant?"

A golden statue as tall as a man, how much gold does it cost?

Liu Tan didn't say a word, he didn't use gold because it was precious, but because this kind of metal can withstand the years and is not easy to corrode.

Whether it is a stone statue or a bronze statue, it will be corroded one day. Liu Tan wants to leave a proof on Langjuxu Mountain. He hopes that after thousands of years, no one will deny the authenticity of Langjuxu. As long as the land is in the hands of the big man, people will be sent to guard the golden statue.

Taking one last look at the golden statue, Liu Tan turned around and walked down the mountain in great strides.

Lu Xuan was a little surprised, turned around and followed him and asked, "Don't you also come to seal the wolf and live in Xu?"

Liu Tan replied: "Me? No need."

Li Xi also chased after him and said, "Your Highness, Your Highness, everyone is here."

The corner of Liu Tan's mouth twitched: "No, no, no one can obliterate my achievements."

Lu Xuan chuckled: "You are confident."

Liu Tan said: "Dragon City is already in our hands, and Langjuxu Mountain is not that important."

It was only because of his own selfishness that he insisted on coming.

Lu Xuan still said: "Then there should be something left."

Liu Tan sighed: "There are already many, do you know Sima Qian?"

Lu Xuan: "Huh? That historian?"

Liu Tan: "Yes, I received a letter from him before and found that the biographies he has written to me now have more pages than the ones written to the prince."

Lu Xuan: "That's because you have done a lot."

Liu Tan: "That's not okay, I have to talk to him later and ask him to be more concise, the prince doesn't want to lose face?"

With hearty laughter floating in the air, the afterglow of the setting sun fell on the golden statue, the young general pointed his arrows in the direction of Dragon City, his sharp eyes seemed to be looking at Dragon City but at the same time seemed to be looking at In the direction of Chang'an.
