Controlling mountains and rivers since the Warring States Period

Chapter 358 The Expedition (Part 2)

On a sunny day,

General Wei Qing, who had brought much glory to the Han Dynasty, once again led his army into battle.

Liu Yong, riding his horse, waved proudly beside them, basking in the adulation.

Huo Qubing also laughed from the side:
"I'm determined to achieve even greater things than my uncle!"

"Next time we go on a mission, I'll be at the very front, and everyone will be shouting my name!"

Liu Yong then leaned over to him and said, "But Wei Qing has already been to the Xiongnu royal court, what else can you do!"

Huo Qubing thought for a moment and replied, "May I go and dig up the ancestral graves of the Xiongnu?"

Liu Yong then burst into laughter, "That will definitely work!"

"Remember to take me with you then!"

"I also want to loosen the soil on the graves of the Xiongnu ancestors!"

They were talking about going to war.

He looked completely relaxed.
It seemed as if victory was assured in this battle.
Completely different from decades ago,

The fear and unease felt upon hearing of the Xiongnu's invasion and plunder.

This naturally reflects the current strength of the Han Dynasty.
Only with a strong and prosperous nation can there be prosperity.

Only then can everyone, from the most distinguished to the most ordinary, walk with their heads held high under such beautiful sunshine.
To confront the nation's enemies.

To expand the country's territory.

"...I wonder when such a scene will appear in the State of Qi."

In the crowded crowd,
As Lü Peng felt the enthusiastic atmosphere around him and looked at the well-organized and orderly military formation of the Han soldiers, his expression was full of anticipation.

"Once you complete your studies and return to your country, you can find a way to make Qi great again and restore its former glory!"

He Bo walked over, holding an old yellow dog on a leash.

Lu Peng looked at him, shook his head, and said, "Japan is remote and lacks resources. It doesn't have the same conditions as the Central Plains."

barren land
It is impossible for a towering tree to grow there.

Then, pointing to the yellow dog, he asked He Bo, "Where did you get this dog?"

"Could it be that they took advantage of the chaos to steal someone else's things?"

He Bo snorted unhappily, "How could a gentleman like me do such a thing?"

"This is my dog!"

He stretched out his hand, and Da Huang obligingly offered its head, letting He Bo rub it vigorously.

Lu Peng squatted down to look at it and found that the yellow dog's muzzle fur had fallen out and its eyes didn't have much of a sparkle.

So he said, "This dog is quite old."

"Yes."

“I kidnapped it and brought it home right after it was weaned.”

"After that, I'll be traveling around a lot, so I'll leave it with someone else to take care of."

"Now it's old, and the person who raised it is going on a long trip and won't be back for a long time."

"Even if there are servants to take care of it, they can never compare to the dedication of its foster parent."

"I might as well bring it back, so that the old dog won't get bored walking around."

He Bo said with emotion, gently pinching Da Huang's lips.

The yellow dog opened its mouth and licked his palm, then rubbed against his feet.

Although Wei Qing took good care of it.

Although Huo Qubing also liked this old dog very much.

Although the spirits and gods secretly bestow blessings upon Dahuang,
But getting old is getting old.

All living beings have a time to die.

This is the established law of heaven and earth.

He Bo was too lazy to interfere with the normal process of birth, aging, illness, and death.

Anyway, I'll have to come down and join him even if I die.

He naturally didn't need to worry about it.

All he needs to do is make sure that Big Yellow has an easy and pleasant journey.

So before Wei Qing set off,

He Bo ran over to drink a farewell toast with him, and then, seeing his dog, Big Yellow, boredly sleeping in its luxurious doghouse, he made a suggestion to Wei Qing:
"I'll take it out for a walk."

"No matter how good a golden house or a silver house is, it can't compare to the joy of running around outside."

Wei Qing knew in his heart,

Once Dahuang leaves, it may never come back.

But He Bo is right, Da Huang is naturally lively and loves to run.

Even now that I'm twenty, I still occasionally have to muster up the energy to bully the other hunting dogs we keep at home...

If all I can do is lie helplessly in my doghouse and die...

Big Yellow probably won't be happy.

Therefore,
He Bo was able to lead the dog out of the general's mansion.

Perhaps he saw the person who kidnapped him in the past.

Suddenly, Da Huang perked up and followed He Bo here with firm steps.

Then, as Wei Qing and his group walked out of Chang'an and disappeared from everyone's sight, the last glimmer of light vanished.

Big Yellow squinted and drooped its head.

Lu Peng asked, "Should we start preparing?"

He Bo shook his head, "It's not going to die yet, let me take it to see the excitement of Chang'an one last time!"

He picked up the yellow dog and strolled around Chang'an.

As I passed through a small alley, a group of playful puppies ran past.

He Bo smiled and said to Lü Peng, "Many of these are descendants of Dahuang!"

Lu Peng was moved by this. "Ah?"

"Is Big Yellow really that brave?"

"Absolutely, it's the dog I raised!"

The yellow dog that the gods and spirits personally rescued and raised.

The yellow dog that General Wei Qing valued most

How could they possibly fail to dominate the dog world of Chang'an?
Long before Wei Qing met Liu Yong and gained the emperor's favor and important position,
With his charm, Dahuang had already made a name for himself in Chang'an and become the king of dogs followed by countless others!
And with its longevity

It's understandable that there are more bloodlines to reproduce.

"Come, let me show you our ancestor!"

He Bo squatted down and made "moo-moo-moo" sounds towards the puppies.

After the chubby puppies were lured over...
He gently handed the big yellow dog over so the puppy could smell its scent and lick its fur.

A small dog that looked a lot like Big Yellow even boldly opened its mouth and bit the ancestor's nose.

The big yellow dog was so angry that it opened its eyes and glared at the puppy back.

Watching the puppy back away in fright and fall on its bottom in a panic, He Bo just laughed gleefully from the side.

Lü Peng laughed too, "When I return to Japan, I'll bring a yellow dog back with me."

"Yes, as long as we help the rhubarb branch out and spread its bloodline."

He Bo continued to walk around with the dog in his arms.
As the sun began to set, he suddenly said that he should leave the city.

Lu Peng understood what he meant, but just scratched his head and said, "The curfew is about to start. Are you sleeping outside the city tonight?"

"Yup!"

He Bo told him, "I have places to rest everywhere, you don't need to worry!"

So Lü Peng nodded and said goodbye to him.

He was also going back to his residence.
Before long, it will be time for him to return to the State of Qi and serve it.

He had studied in Chang'an for many years, so naturally he had a lot of things to pack up.

He Bo turned and walked out of the city, choosing an auspicious spot for Da Huang and digging a pit.
They then took out a lot of soft hay and cloth to line the bottom, so that it could lie comfortably inside.

A yellow dog with an elusive form circled around him, even trying to help the ghosts who were digging up the grave to break off a piece of soil.

"Go! Go! Go!"

"I'm busy burying you, don't cause any trouble!"

He Bo moved the now-energized rhino aside and casually picked up a leaf, placing it on its head.

The lively yellow dog was thus frozen in place, too afraid to move.

Once everything is over,
After a small grave appeared on the ground,
He Bo, leading Big Yellow, happily returned to the underworld.

He specifically sought out Li Si to show off his dog:
"Now I'm going to lead my yellow dog to chase a rabbit. When will you, the Prime Minister of Qin, be able to do something like that?"

Li Si immediately expressed his fear and trepidation, saying that he was truly incompetent and dared not compare himself to ghosts and gods.
He Bo laughed heartily and walked away, swaggering along the grassy path with his dog.

Liu Bang's ancestor, Liu He, was invited to come from Ye City to attend a banquet hosted by his descendants.

Seeing the yellow dog in the ghost's hand, he recalled some things from his past life, and greeted He Bo with a smile:
"Was a terracotta figure made for it? Was its name engraved in stone?"

He Bo replied affirmatively, "Of course!"

"After a while, I will carve its name on the sacred mountain of the Xiongnu people!"

Under the command of Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, Da Huang has been hunting for many years. Even if he has not made any great contributions, he has certainly worked hard.

Therefore,
It's only natural that Da Huang would share in such a great achievement as "sealing the wolf's lair and inscribing his merits on stone"!
