Liu Che placed the "Three Rules for Training Soldiers" on the table and asked with an inscrutable look, "Then how did you come up with this idea?"
Liu Tan: ...
This is what he was asked, what else is there to think about? Seeing the military training reminded me of these almost later generations of flower farmers' habits. No matter what, going to school is inevitable to encounter military training, especially in college, which is infinitely close to real training, but the requirements are not as strict.
When I see military training, I think of this process as something as natural as eating and drinking.
Liu Tan had no choice but to explain, "Because there are so few people in the North, they can't afford casualties. Even the death of a single one of our own would be heartbreaking. So, we simply strengthen their capabilities. As long as they are strong and can enforce discipline, the generals' orders can be transmitted more smoothly, allowing for more flexible combat."
Liu Che looked at him deeply. Liu Tan explained the reasons for training soldiers, but he did not say how he came up with the training method.
But if he didn't say anything, Liu Che wouldn't ask too much.
Because that may represent some secrets, secrets belonging to immortals and gods.
Liu Che held the document with an expression that seemed somewhat unfathomable, which made Liu Tan a little frightened. He thought that there should not be any particularly advanced or prohibited ideas in it.
After reading it, Liu Che put the document back into the box, locked it carefully, and asked, "Has this document been shown to anyone else?"
Liu Tan immediately shook his head: "No, no!"
Liu Che looked at him with a half-smile: "Have you seen it too, Little Kunmi?"
Liu Tan coughed lightly and said, "After all, he's not one of us yet. Even if he were, I wouldn't show him to anyone. I have to wait for Father to see if it's appropriate."
Liu Che responded, "Put it here with me for now."
He has to study it carefully. No, it’s not that he has to study it carefully, but he has to gather people to study it carefully. However, this is Liu Tan’s hard work after all. Even his biological father Liu Che would feel guilty about taking it away like this.
In fact, if Liu Tan took the initiative to ask for benefits, Liu Che might still be a little dissatisfied, but Liu Tan didn't say a word, so he felt that he was treating his son unfairly.
Liu Che thought for a while, then suddenly said, "I remember there are several good pastures in the northern border."
Liu Tan nodded and said, "Yes, I am planning to build a few enclosures to raise cattle and sheep."
Liu Che: ...
He felt a little tired. His other sons enclosed grasslands for hunting or raising horses, but his fifth son was unique. He enclosed grasslands for raising cattle and sheep, which was very down-to-earth.
He said helplessly, "I'll have them pick out a few celestial horses later, and you take good care of them for me."
Hetao is a very suitable place for raising horses, but the problem is that the Xiongnu and the people of the Western Regions are very strict about horse breeds. Otherwise, Liu Che would not have wanted both celestial horses and had to destroy Dayuan to get them.
After all, for the Huns and those people in the Western Regions, they could not compare with the Han Dynasty in any way. Only their cavalry could threaten the Han Dynasty. If they lost this advantage, they would have no choice but to be slaughtered by the Han Dynasty.
So Liu Tan said that the quality of the horses here is actually not that good.
Although the troops looked tall and strong during the previous military parade, a closer look would reveal that they were not very impressive. This was only because the solid colors and the overly neat appearance gave people a shock that blurred this point.
So Liu Che thought for a long time and wanted to talk to Liu about some good horses.
Liu Tan was immediately shocked when he heard this: "Father, is Pegasus easy to raise? I don't have many people under my command who know how to raise horses."
Liu Che wanted to improve the horse breed for Liu Tan's army, but Liu Tan thought that he was helping his father raise horses. Given his father's love for the Ferghana horses, if they were not raised well or if anything happened to them, he probably would not be able to explain himself.
As soon as Liu Che saw his expression, he knew what this little coward was thinking. He sneered and said, "I will arrange someone for you. Pegasus is good, but it can't be reduced to a toy for people to watch. Do you understand?"
Liu Tan thought about it and understood that his father wanted to show off.
After all, if you have such a good horse, it would be meaningless to just keep it for fun every day or just share it with princes and nobles.
Although later generations knew that Emperor Wu of Han went to great lengths to win the battle for the Ferghana horses, the people today do not know this because they do not care what the Ferghana horses look like or how much they are loved by the emperor.
But what if his father wanted people to know? The only way was to find a way to get these BMWs out of the palace.
Liu Tan suddenly felt an idea flash in his mind and asked, "Then... Father, how about I try to organize a horse racing tournament and invite all the best horse racers in the Han Dynasty to compete. Then everyone will know how powerful Tianma is."
Liu Che: ...
He calmed himself down before saying, "I want you to raise more. Once you're well, I'll give them to your cavalry!"
You insist on me explaining it clearly, I’m so angry!
Liu Tan was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Liu Che cautiously and said, "It's true that I'm slow, but... Pegasus isn't suited for combat. Training a team specifically for sneak attacks would be fine."
Liu Che looked at him expressionlessly: "You figure it out yourself."
Liu Tan asked, "Then... can your son... breed the Pegasus with another horse? Perhaps this will yield a horse suitable for battle."
Liu Che had a headache: "It's up to you."
Why would he, the emperor, discuss the breeding of Pegasus horses with his son here?
Liu Tan thought Liu Che was reluctant to let him go, so he consoled him, saying, "Father, all the horses in the army are castrated. It would be a good thing to keep Tianma as a stud horse. At least he won't have to..."
Before he could finish his words, Liu Che slapped him on the head, interrupting the rest of his words.
He looked up and saw Liu Che looking at him expressionlessly, pushing his head and saying, "Get out!"
Okay.
Liu Tan left quickly, mainly because although Liu Che said so, he didn't seem to be very angry.
After Liu Tan came out, he turned around and went to look for Lu Xuan. Fortunately, he was staying in the palace today, otherwise it would not be easy for him to see Lu Xuan.
After Liu Che arrived, Lu Xuan wisely moved to Tonghuafang, which was the place Liu Tan had reserved for him.
After hearing that Liu Tan was coming, he hurried over with a hand warmer and stuffed it into Liu Tan's hand, saying, "Why are you here so late? It's cold, be careful not to catch a cold."
Although the weather in the Northern Border is cold, Liu Tan is not cold.
Liu Tan smiled and pulled him in, saying, "Nothing, I've been busy these past few days and haven't been able to see you. I'm finally back this time."
Lu Xuan was helpless: "Only one or two days is nothing. You might as well send someone to deliver a message to me, and I'll go in through the side door."
Liu Tan reached out and lifted his chin, leaned over and kissed him, saying, "That won't do. After all, I married you in a formal way. How can you take a shortcut?"
After being separated for several days, and even more so when they were so close, Lu Xuan had already begun to feel a bit overwhelmed. Now that Liu Tan was actively teasing him, how could he still endure it?
Just pull back the little fox that escaped with one blow. No matter what else, the first thing to do is to relieve the pain of missing it.
Liu Tan reluctantly followed Lu Xuan all the way to the bedroom. Fortunately, Lu Xuan still had some sense and remembered that Liu Tan had to go back. Worried that Liu Tan would not get enough rest if he stayed too late, he stopped abruptly.
Liu Tan lay on his chest, listening to Lu Xuan's intense heartbeat and feeling his passion, and chuckled softly, "You're quite patient."
Lu Xuan tightened his arms and warned, "Stop messing around."
He is now enduring very hard and is only a little bit away from turning into a beast.
Liu Tan raised his head and kissed him on the chin. Before Lu Xuan could freak out, he said, "My father wants to see you tomorrow."
Lu Xuan: ...
Okay, now I’m cool.
