Chapter 75: Drinking Ma Hanhai and sealing the wolf

"Then I'll leave it to General Cheng."

Li Yan did not have any hypocrisy, and decisively handed over this "burden" to Cheng Yanjin.

Li Yan knows very well that he has that little in his stomach, and it is okay to write a letter to the emperor to talk about strategy or something, but if he is asked to write such a rigorous article, it will be difficult.

Of course, Li Yan also knew that there were not many goods in the stomach of Lu Guogong Cheng next to him, but there was no literati in this army at all, and now it would be good if someone was willing to write this sacrificial text.

Anyway, this mountaineering sacrifice is a formality, announcing the sovereignty of the Tang Dynasty over the Mobei grassland from now on, just have this sacrificial text, and the quality does not need to be considered for the time being.

In this way, with this thought in mind, Li Yan relaxed his mind and went to rest directly.

Li Yan didn't know how crazy it was for Cheng Yanjin to send someone to find paper and ink after he left.

"Sacrificial text, I didn't expect my Lao Cheng to write this day......"

"Tut, when I return to the court, the old man must pat this sacrifice on the face of the eldest grandson Wuji......"

"In the second year of Zhenguan, the Son of Heaven of the Tang Dynasty sent troops to the Turks, and Li Yan was the marshal of the Northern Expedition...... From now on, south of this mountain, it is the Tang Tu ......"

Cheng Biting Jin splashed ink, ignoring the format of the sacrificial text, and wrote the whole vernacular article.

In the article, he simply expounded the process of this battle, without any traces of powder, it was completely improvisational, and there was no literary color at all.

Obviously, if this sacrificial text is seen by the eldest grandson Wuji, and then learns that this is the sacrificial text of the Tang Dynasty's conquest of Mobei and the construction of an altar to the sky, he will definitely be half alive and half dead.

At that time, he will inevitably impeach Li Shimin frantically and bite the gold!

Cheng Yanjin could even think of the angry and corrupt appearance of the eldest grandson Wuji.

"Your Majesty, how can this wolf dwelling and building an altar to worship the sky be so hasty, Cheng Biting Jin, a reckless man, completely disregarded the face of the Tang Dynasty and wrote a sacrifice document privately......"

Cheng Yanjin directly brained the content of the impeachment of the eldest grandson Wuji.

In fact, not long after, the eldest grandson Wuji did impeach Cheng Yanjin in the court, and even the original words of the impeachment were not much different from what Cheng Yanjin made up in his own brain.

Of course, Li Yan obviously didn't care about the quality of this sacrificial text.

In Li Yan's opinion, even if the sacrificial text written by Cheng Yanjin is a lump of "shi", it can't hide his glory at all.

This swept across the grassland, and the deeds of sealing the wolf Juxu will inevitably be the same as Huo Quai, the big man of the year, and it will be passed on forever!

……

This night, many people had trouble sleeping, among which Cheng Biting Jin was the most, and he couldn't suppress his excitement when he thought that his "masterpiece" was about to appear tomorrow.

He directly and perfectly brought in the image of the Hun people he had created through many years, and directly became a Hun man from the inside out, always looking forward to the arrival of the moment of building an altar and worshipping the sky.

Compared with Cheng Yanjin, Li Yan slept much more peacefully.

He had been fighting for more than two hours that day, and he was already a little tired mentally, plus Li Yan's arm was also slashed, out of the idea of shielding the pain, Li Yan slept even more soundly.

Li Yan slept so peacefully, which directly caused Cheng Yanjin to wait for a long time the next morning, and he couldn't wait for Li Yan to sleep until he woke up naturally.

In the end, Cheng Yanjin could only play hand, holding his own sacrificial text and reciting it aloud at Li Yan's door, which woke up Li Yan.

"Depart in the afternoon."

Li Yan could understand Cheng Yanjin's mood, so he set a time and chose to let the soldiers set off after eating and drinking at noon.

An hour later, Li Yan and Cheng Yanjin led the whole army to the north.

Their destination was the Wolf Juxu Mountain, where Hou Zhu, the champion of the Han Dynasty, built an altar to sacrifice to the sky, and Li Yan planned to reproduce the highest glory of the Northern Expedition and seal the Wolf Juxu.

It's just that the army has been walking for a long time, but has never found this peak, but has come to the edge of an endless water.

"It's ...... Hanhai? ”

Since ancient times, many books have recorded that there is an endless body of water in the depths north of the desert, called Hanhai.

The Book of Han recorded: "Drink Ma Hanhai and seal the wolf." The big river in the west, Qilian in the county. ”

"Historical Records" recorded: "Feng wolf dwells in Xu Mountain, Zen in Guyan, and ascends to Hanhai." ”

Both history books record the actual illness of the champion Hou Huo, and while they mentioned the wolf Juxu, the Hanhai mentioned was the water in front of them.

Seeing this water, Li Yan immediately dismounted, walked to the water's edge, and took a sip of the water.

"Fresh water, so Hanhai is really Lake Baikal......"

Based on the location of this place, Li Yan probably deduced the contrast between this place and the modern place name.

After Li Yan's practice, it can be concluded that this so-called Hanhai really refers to Lake Baikal in later generations.

"Keep going, if you can't find it again, just find a random mountain."

After seeing this so-called "Hanhai" again, Li Yan's enthusiasm for "sealing the wolf Juxu" was much less.

The reason why he led people to look for Wolf Juxu Mountain in this cold and awe-inspiring place was just to recreate the highest glory of the Northern Expedition.

After wandering around for so long, Li Yan's mind has faded a lot.

"What do you mean by finding a random mountain? Can you still find this? ”

Cheng Biting Jin was immediately unhappy, sealing the wolf Juxu, this is the highest kind of glory!

"The Northern Expedition has been completed, I am the commander, where I build an altar to worship the sky, where is the Wolf Juxu Mountain."

Li Yan replied lightly to Cheng Yanjin.

"This ......"

Cheng Yanjin was immediately stunned and a little speechless, he really didn't expect Li Yan to say such a domineering sentence.

You must know, since the Han Champion Hou, which general in the world who participated in the Northern Expedition was not proud to follow in the footsteps of Huo Quai?

How could it be Li Yan's turn, this is different......

Cheng Yanjin finally chose to shut up, after all, the Northern Expedition led by Li Yan did what no one had done before.

And in a sense, the significance of Li Yan's success in the Northern Expedition is no worse than that of the champion Hou of the year, and Li Yan's exploits themselves represent the supreme glory.

It's a pity that the heavens didn't seem to give Li Yan the opportunity to build an altar elsewhere to worship the sky, and the army saw the mountains soon after seeing the "Hanhai".

According to the topographical observation near the mountain range, combined with the records of ancient books, Cheng Yanjin basically determined that this is the wolf Juxu Mountain where the Han champion Hou built an altar to worship the sky!

"Climb the mountain, build an altar and worship the sky!"

Cheng Yanjin was even more active than Li Yan, and after asking Li Yan, he personally led people to start mountaineering, and personally carried the earth and stones to start building the altar.

Under the efficiency of Cheng Biting Jin's first soldiers, an altar was quickly built, and Cheng Biting Jin also smoothly took the sacrificial text he wrote and began to worship the sky.

Li Yan was indifferent to these extremely troublesome processes, he handed over the troublesome matter to Cheng Yanjin, and he just finally climbed the high platform and read the sacrificial text.

"Zhenguan 2nd Year ......"

"From now on, the south of this mountain will be full of Tang soil ......"

After Li Yangao's chant ended and the sacrificial text was burned, the second time in history was officially completed.
