However, this is nominally the Han territory, but in fact it is the territory of the Huns.Whether it was the Ma Yi of the later Ma Yi plot, or the Bai Deng of the siege of Bai Deng before, they were all south of Wuzhou.In other words, Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, was humiliated by the Huns on his own land.The victor of the Chu-Han struggle lost a big face in front of the Huns, that is, the entire Central Plains lost a big face, and this loss of face is seventy years.Now, Shan Yu Maodun and Han Gaozu Liu Bang have entered the ground, and it is their turn to compete.Liang Xiao felt that the burden on his shoulders was heavy.Although the counterattack war launched by Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty prevailed, the price was also high.Of course, there are many objective factors, but there are also many subjective factors.There are quite a few losses that can be completely avoided.Liang Xiao hopes that through his own efforts, these losses can be minimized as much as possible.After surveying the terrain in the area of Yanze and Zhuwenze mentioned by Xie Guanglong, Liang Xiao and others followed the southern foot of Yin Mountain to the west.They had limited time and could not go deep into the grassland, so they could only explore the south of Yinshan Mountain first.The famous general of the Qin Dynasty, Meng Tian, commanded 300,000 troops to attack the Xiongnu, and also captured the southern foot of Yinshan Mountain and drove the Xiongnu to the depths of the desert.Strategically speaking, if the Han army wanted to penetrate deep into the steppe, it must first deal with the Huns in the Hetao area.A few days later, Liang Xiao and the others arrived at Shaling in the clouds.Shaling is the eastern part of the Hetao region, where the Yellow River turns a bend and heads south to the Loess Plateau.The Yellow River is harmful, and it is only profitable.Before entering the Loess Plateau, the Yellow River is still a quiet and clear river, and the current soil erosion is not as serious as that of later generations.It's green.Shalingze is a lake next to the Yellow River, the water of the lake is clear, the evening breeze comes slowly, and the water waves are not prosperous.It's so quiet that people don't want to think about it, they just want to lie quietly for a while.Liang Xiao led the moon and walked by the lake.The moon is a very quiet and good horse, and even after changing owners, he accepts it very quickly.Running fast and steady, for Liang Xiao, whose riding skills need to be improved, this horse is more suitable for him than Qing Xiao, who has a somewhat irritable personality.Seeing the moon, Liang Xiao thought of Wei Qing.In order to help him adapt to riding and archery as soon as possible, Wei Qing specially chose a gentle horse for him.From this point of view, although Wei Qing doesn't talk much, he is a very attentive person.After walking the horse, Liang Xiao and the others returned to the camp, and it was already dark.The knights were scattered all over the place, some preparing dinner.Some wash horses by the lake, talk and laugh, and the atmosphere is relaxed.Only Ma Rong and Mei Gao gathered together, around the map, not knowing what they were discussing, as if they were arguing."
What's wrong" Liang Xiao handed the moon to Tu Niu'er, walked to Ma Mei and the others, and asked with a smile.Mei Gao and Ma Rong looked up at Liang Xiao and said in unison, "There is a problem with the map. ”Liang Xiao was taken aback.One of the most important tasks of this mission was to survey and map the map.Mark the place where the future army will stop, and if there is a problem with the map, this time it will be in vain."
Something went wrong" "The astrology and geography do not match." ”"I mainly rely on the astrology, but the astrology in front of me seems to be changing all the time. ”Liang Xiao was a little anxious."
What do you mean it's always changing?"
"I've seen a lot of stars that I can't see in Chang'an. ”Ma Rong was embarrassed."
I don't know the stars."
Mei Gao's face was also ugly."
And the same astrological positioning.The distance between east and west is also quite a lot.is still in the territory of Dahan, the gap is so big, in the future, on the grassland, can the drawn map still be accurate" As he spoke, he glanced at Ma Rong, his eyes full of distrust.And there is no disguise at all.Ma Rong was very annoyed, but he knew that he was at a loss and could not refute it, so he could only insist that he was not careless, let alone joke about his future.Looking at these two companions who were about to turn their faces, Liang Xiao couldn't help but want to laugh.Even though they are both well-read people, these two are still straightforward and do not hide their opinions at all.However, the issue they are arguing about is not a bad thing, but a real discovery.It was true that Marjon was not wrong, on the contrary, he calculated accurately.It was because of his precision that he was able to spot the problem.Liang Xiao sat down, lifted the copper kettle on the bonfire, and poured a cup of hot goat's milk for each of them.This is what they just bought from the herders along the road today, and the taste is pure and there are no additives."
When I went out to meet the mission, I went out to sea by boat and found a strange phenomenon on the sea" Liang Xiao told him about the sea where Liu Ling first saw the top of the ship and then saw the hull of the ship on the sea, and then looked at Ma Rong and Mei Gao with a smile."
Can any of you explain this?"
said Ma Rong and Mei Gao, looking at each other.They didn't know why Liang Xiao had traveled so far, from the grassland to the East China Sea.However, they didn't speak rashly, they had been with Liang Xiao for so long, and they knew Liang Xiao's personality very well.Although Liang Xiao doesn't read much, his thinking is very flexible, and he will never mention these words for no reason.The two thought for a moment, and Ma Rong was the first to realize the key."
My lord is saying that the stars I see are similar to ships on the sea," Liang Xiao nodded."
Neither the stars nor the ships can appear out of thin air.Just because you've discovered new stars doesn't mean they've just appeared, just that you haven't seen them before, maybe they've been blocked by something. ”"What can block the star earth" Mei Gao said, "but the earth is flat, even if the star level is low, it is impossible not to see it." ”"Therefore, the earth is not necessarily flat."
Liang Xiao smiled."
How is that possible," Ma Rong and Mei Gao said in unison."
Probably not, we're skeptical for the time being."
Liang Xiaoqu pointed to his head."
However, you can work in this direction, and there may be a windfall.It is important to know that many great discoveries come from a humble question. ”Ma Rong smiled, a little disapproving.However, he still habitually pondered, and Mei Gao also blinked his eyes, looking up at the starry sky from time to time, thoughtfully.Liu Ling was dressed in a light gauze robe, lying on his side on the couch, holding his cheeks with his hands, half-squinting his eyes, looking at the sky in the north in a daze.A slightly green, but transparent glass statue was placed at her hand, and the chubby Cupid opened her bow and pointed an arrow at her heart.After the meeting, she was grounded.Except for Chang'an, Liu An forbade her to leave the country again.But Liu Ling didn't care, she didn't even want to go to Chang'an, and spent most of her time hiding in the palace and in her own courtyard.Next to her small courtyard, more than fifty alchemists worked day and night.Stimulated by the heavy reward, these usually high-ranking alchemists temporarily shelved their dreams of becoming immortals, and first developed and improved the process of glaze for the lord Liu Ling.Alchemists are alchemists, they not only have the skills of craftsmen, but also the intelligence of scholars, who can conduct in-depth analysis and discussion of the results of the experiment and find the law from them.After more than half a year of hard work, they have achieved fruitful results, and this small statue is the crystallization of these results.Although there is still some green color that cannot be removed, the crystal clear texture is enough to compare with natural crystal, and it is slightly better than the statue bought from Hu Shang in Wu City.When he saw this statue, Liu An, who had always been suspicious of Liu Ling's actions, closed his mouth.He knew very well that Liu Ling had really created a rich source of wealth for him.With these glass techniques, he has an extra income of several thousand gold per year, which can greatly alleviate the financial pressure brought by the guests.First double-sided brocade, then glaze, Liu Ling has become the little god of wealth in Liu An's mind, enough to help him support half of the sky in Huainan Kingdom.Seeing the relief in his father's eyes, Liu Ling was very proud.She hid on the couch, taking advantage of the cool while thinking about her thoughts.According to the news from Chang'an, Liang Xiao became a deputy envoy and sent an envoy to the Xiongnu.The grassland is thousands of miles, and I don't know when I will be able to come back.made the glass, but couldn't tell Liang Xiao at the first time, Liu Ling felt a little lost in his heart, as if he lacked a little bit and was not perfect enough.Liu Ling turned around, picked up the statue with both hands, and held it up in front of his eyes.Starlight shines through the statue's eyes, shining mischievously in her eyes, as if someone is blinking mischievously.Liu Ling thought it was funny, and kept shaking the statue, as if teasing a child.She didn't know what she thought, she suddenly blushed, held the statue in her arms, and laughed as she ate.After a while, she thought of something again, picked up the statue again, and pointed it at the galaxy.After a while, Liu Ling turned over and sat up, his eyes shining like stars."
Someone, call Deng Guobin."
Next to Sha Lingze, Liang Xiao, who was lying in his clothes, suddenly opened his eyes.In the night sky, the Milky Way runs through the sky, and countless stars are scattered in the sky, shining like the lanterns on Chang'an Street.However, what Liang Xiao thought of was not Chang'an, but the sea of Huiji.On the sea, he once lay side by side with someone on the deck of a building ship, looking up at the starry sky.What is she doing now Liang Xiao was stunned for a while, closed her eyes, and wanted to sleep for a while, but she couldn't sleep anymore.He lifted the blanket, got up, and walked around the camp.The moon, tethered to the camp, heard his footsteps, raised her head, snorted twice, and gently shaved the ground with her horse's hooves.Liang Xiao smiled, walked over, stroked the moon's neck, comforted it for a moment, stretched his muscles, faced Sha Lingze, and practiced opening the bow.The moon stared at the big dark eyes, stared at the slowly undulating Liang Xiao, shook his neck, and his long horsehair was like silver hair, flying in the wind.
