Chapter 45: Yun Ao
"Mother, everyone else has a father. Where is my father? Xiao Yun Ao stared at his mother with dark eyes, Yin Yin stroked Yun Ao's head and said, "Your father is the most powerful man in the world, and even the jackal-like Huns are afraid of him." ”
"Then why didn't Daddy come to see us?" Xiao Yunao's words made Yin Yin choke suddenly.
"The emperor and the empress dowager of the Han Dynasty don't like your father, and they forced your father to the far side of the sea." Yin Yin gritted her teeth and said hatefully.
"Mother, the emperor of the Han Dynasty is a bad person, and the queen mother is also a bad person. Grandpa John is dead, and I'll let Batu take people to attack them. Seeing his mother's hateful look, Xiao Yunao waved his small fist and said indignantly.
"Son, we don't have to send Batu to attack the Han Chinese, as long as we send these military horses to your father. Your father is the invincible man in the world. Speaking of her man, Yin Yin's tone exuded endless pride.
"Okay, let Ba Zhen send these horses to his father. But mother, can I go with me to see my father? I really want to meet my father! Xiao Yunao's face was full of anticipation, he had never seen his father since he could remember. His mother often told him that his father was the greatest hero in the world. No one could beat his father, and Yin Yin's eyes sparkled every time he spoke of it.
"No, kid. You are the king of this land, and the king cannot leave his land lightly. Yin Yin stroked Yun Ao's head helplessly, her black hair was smooth and soft.
"Then I let Yun Lie be the king here, can I go to visit my father?" The world is incredibly simple in a child's eyes. Two years ago. After John's death. King Donghu was inexplicably choked to death while eating apples, and his successor was naturally Yun Ao.
After years of operation, Yin Yin has completely mastered the country of Donghu. The generals of all armies were loyal to Yin, and every year the Qiang slaves would grow a large amount of cotton. The cotton would be sold to the Han Chinese at a high price, and the profits would be made to feed the entire population of Zhangye for a year. Not to mention cantaloupe, raisin wine. and the sky-high price of Dawan horses, which have a huge trade deficit flowing into Yinyin's treasury every year.
With knives and money, no one in the entire Donghu or even the Western Regions that had been ravaged by the Huns was Yin Yin's opponent. And the Huns, who were greatly injured, were also unable to invade Donghu on a large scale.
Batu led his son Ba Zhen to build a complete guard for Yinyin. The number is as high as 50,000. From equipment to tactics, it is completely the Yun family's standard training. In battle, it can be said that it is the strongest in the Western Regions. was a stand-in palace maid at the beginning, and now she is now a veritable king of the Western Regions. Looking at the 36 countries in the Western Regions, none of them dared to argue with Yinyin.
Yin Yin was helpless that what she did was in the eyes of her son. It's better to see your father. In order to meet his father. Yun Ao can even give up the throne to his younger brother.
"My child. The throne is not fruit candy or ice cream. You can't let it come and go, but don't worry. Your father is beloved to you, and Batu is the first to follow your father's family. Your father sent him to protect you. Prove that He cares about you and loves you.
Your father will definitely come back to see you once he has time. Yin Yin knew that Yun Xiao had gone to the other side of the return. If you want to come to Donghu once, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult. But seeing her son's expectant eyes, Yin Yin had no choice but to deceive the poor child.
"Seriously?" Xiao Yunao immediately became excited.
"Really, once your father defeats the enemies over there, they will come to see you." Yin Yin turned her head and secretly wiped the tears that welled up in her eyes.
"Then I'll go to Ba Zhen and ask him to send these war horses to my father as soon as possible." Yun Ao ran out in a hurry, and several attendants immediately followed out to take care of the active king.
The scale of the transportation of the war horse this time is quite large, and the news from Yun Xiao said. He needed not only thousands of war horses, but also thousands of pack horses. After years of searching by the Yun family in the Western Regions, there are not many good horses in the Western Regions. However, there are many pack horses, and the pack horses in the Western Regions are strong and enduring, and their main power as four-wheeled carriages is better than that of Xiongnu horses.
The old Batu is really old, and his beard is all white. Now leading the army is his son Ba Zhen, Yun Ao rushed into Batu's arms like a little leopard.
"Old Batu, old Batu! Hurry up and let Ba Zhen give these military horses to my father, and my mother said that my father will come to see me after defeating the bad guys on the other side of the sea. Yun Ao grabbed Batu's curly beard and said without stopping while brushing it.
"Hahaha, my little master. Ba Zhen can't go, he wants to lead the army to protect you. Batu is old and needs someone else to protect you. Let Bahrain go, he's a sturdy eagle. It is completely possible to deal with jackals on the prairie. ”
Batu hugged Yun Ao and pointed to his youngest son Balin, who was gathering his military horses in the distance.
"Okay, let Bahrain go. Old Batu, my mother said that my father is the biggest hero in the world. The jackal-like Huns were most afraid of him. ”
"Oh, my little master. Old Batu is also a Huns, and you can't say your most faithful servant with a jackal. You should say that the Huns are evil wolves, and those who can defeat the evil wolves are the real eagles on the grassland. Batu feigned displeasure.
"Alright, old Batu, don't be angry. My father had someone bring me grilled fish fillets, but they were so delicious that they were fished out of the sea. What does the sea look like, is it as big as our Zhangye Lake? ”
"My little host, the sea is very big. It's a pity that Lao Batu hasn't seen it, I have only seen the Yangtze River of the Han people. Very, very wide, as wide as thousands of sheep together. Batu didn't know how to describe the vastness of the Yangtze River for a while, so he had to give an example of a fat sheep.
"It's a pity that my mother said that the king can't leave his territory, otherwise I really want to go to the Han family's place to see. Look at the sea, and the Yangtze River you mentioned. I heard my mother say that Chang'an of the Han people is as big as ten zhangye. The walls were as high as a mountain, and the population was as large as the cattle and sheep of the steppe. Is that so? ”
"Little master, the Queen Mother didn't lie to you. Our Yun family's fief is on the edge of Chang'an, but the emperor and queen mother of the Han Dynasty don't like your father. forced your father away from Chang'an, and your father had to go to the other side of the sea. Batu was full of resentment at Liu Xiaozhu's ungrateful behavior. In his impression, Liu Che is still in the category of that large ginseng doll.
As the oldest general of the Yun family, he naturally knew that Liu Che was made the crown prince until he ascended the throne. How much effort the Yun family has made and how much benefit has been paid. In the eyes of Batu, who is simple-minded, Liu Che's behavior is completely betrayal.
"Hmph, Mother said that Father only needs to defeat those people on the other side of the sea. No one in the world was his opponent, not even the emperor of the Han people. When I grow up, I will take my old Batu to fight the bad emperor of the Han people. and the bad queen mother in my mother's mouth. Xiao Yunao waved his little fist angrily, completely forgetting that he was actually a purebred Han Chinese.
"Well, old Batu is not dead by then. must accompany the little master to beat the ungrateful Han emperor. He also ate the food of the Yun family for so many years, and in the end he helped his grandmother to squeeze the Hou Ye. Hum! ”
"Old Batu, you teach me to ride a horse. I trained my body to be strong and defeated the emperor of the Han people. ”
"Good, my little master. The Huns practiced riding horses at the age of four, and my little master, who was already five years old, should also learn to ride horses. You don't know ...... your father back then."
Batu walked away with Yun Ao happily, and a few white clouds were scattered in the blue sky. Under the white clouds, there are war horses like clouds. War horses purchased from all over the Western Regions are gathering in Zhangye, and the scale of this time is the largest in history, with 20,000 horses concentrated in Zhangye.
Batu's youngest son, Balin, is directing Mrs. Ma to take care of the early arrivals and receive the newcomers. In a few days, this huge team will be escorted to the Han realm by five thousand Donghu warriors. Give it to the Yun family steward who is waiting there.
"Hurry up, we'll be off in three days. Remember to bring more raisins, that thing can be sold for a good price in the Han realm. (To be continued......)
