"His Royal Highness, have some tea!" Yu Ji said softly.
Zhao Sheng took the tea brought by Yu Ji, took a big sip, and then put the tea on the table.
After a while, Zhao Sheng fell into a deep sleep on the recliner. ,
Seeing this, Concubine Yu didn't wake up Zhao Sheng, but took out the quilt from the house and covered Zhao Sheng.
The next morning!
Zhao Sheng felt the warm sun shining on his body, and slowly opened his narrowed eyes.
Zhao Sheng lifted the quilt that was pressing on his body, got up from the reclining chair, and stretched his body.
Zhao Sheng went back to the house to change his clothes. Today is the day to go out to conquer the Xiongnu, and he put on the Mingguang armor he wore when he suppressed the Kuaiji rebellion.
Yu Ziqi, dressed in military uniform, has been waiting outside.
When he saw Zhao Sheng coming out of the house, Yu Ziqi bowed to Zhao Sheng and said, "His Royal Highness!"
Zhao Sheng, who was dressed in bright light armor, looked like a god of war descending to earth under the sunlight.
"Go to Lantian Camp!"
"promise!"
Yu Ziqi brought the horses for Zhao Sheng, and the two rode the horses to the Lantian camp together.
In the Lantian Camp!
Ten thousand soldiers were lined up neatly and orderly, and their eyes were full of desire for battle.
Just waiting for Zhao Sheng's arrival, he can go to the Xiongnu.
Ying Bu was wearing an iron stupa, standing in front of a hundred iron stupa warriors.
Brother Zheng even came to the Lantian camp in person to send off the [-] soldiers who had paid for the Huns.
This shows how much Zhengge attaches great importance to the expedition to the Huns.
Brother Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly, and what he was waiting for was Zhao Sheng.
Suddenly, the servant next to Brother Zheng said loudly, "His Royal Highness has arrived!"
Brother Zheng's slightly squinted eyes slowly opened, and he set his sights on Zhao Sheng who rode his horse forward.
Brother Zheng waved his hand, signaling to start the sacrifice!
The sacrificial ceremony before the expedition means that the expedition can be triumphant.
Zhao Shengce immediately stepped forward and bowed to Brother Zheng.
I saw that the slaughtered cattle and sheep, as sacrificial offerings, turned around in front of the [-] Great Qin cavalry who were marching.
It's called martyrdom, which means that those who don't need to die can be killed.
Zhao Sheng stepped forward slowly, and with great strength, he lifted up the slaughtered sheep, and the blood from the sheep was poured on Yuanhong's sword.
This behavior is called provocation.
Zhao Sheng dripped the blood of the sacrifice on the flag of Daqin, the war drum, and Jin Duo.
The tedious ceremony is over.
The cattle and sheep used as sacrificial offerings were put into a bronze tripod and cooked over a high fire.
Cooked beef and mutton are used as gizzard meat, that is, the meat for sacrifices, and all soldiers eat it.
Zhao Sheng boldly bit off a piece of meat from the leg of lamb, and handed the leg of lamb to the other soldiers.
The tedious departure ceremony is over.
"Gale, gale!"
"Gale, gale!"
The voice of ten thousand cavalry is as loud as a million people.
As the commander-in-chief, Zhao Sheng wanted to boost morale, and said loudly to all the soldiers, "The Xiongnu deceived us Qin people. When our great Qin is like nothing, we will act recklessly and the Xiongnu will not be destroyed. Why do we do it well? Let's go to the old Qin and go to the national calamity together!" !"
"The Xiongnu are not destroyed, why should the family do it!"
"Jijiu Lao Qin, go to the national disaster together!"
Morale was quickly infected.
Even the other soldiers in the Lantian camp felt a pity for not being selected to go to the Huns.
Brother Zheng looked at Zhao Sheng who was wearing a bright armor, and he was a little relieved and proud of the commander who went to the Huns this time.
"Let's go!"
Zhao Shengce led the horse, and [-] Qin cavalry marched towards Jiuyuan County with great momentum!
……
It took nearly a month for Zhao Sheng to set off.
In Xianyang!
The new house built by Heifu has attracted the envy of many people.
There are also many people who have saved some money because of their work, and have some ideas to renovate their houses.
After all, an earthen house cannot withstand strong wind and rain!
Heve has therefore expanded his project to build a new house.
It costs about five hundred dollars to build a two-story house made of cement and red bricks!
Five hundred dollars persuaded many people to leave.
However, many merchants approached Heifu to build new houses.
As for the common people, there are only a few of them.
Liu Ji and his party finally arrived.
Looking at the prosperity of Xianyang, Liu Ji couldn't help showing surprise.
