Chapter 340: Spring Ploughing (1)

Fa Zheng suddenly stood up and said:

"My lord has one more important matter."

Lu Bu looked over when he heard this:

"Oh? What else is there to be done with filial piety? ”

Fa Zheng raised his head and said:

"My lord, in two more days is the second day of February, and you need to preside over the spring plowing ceremony."

Only then did Lu Bu react,

In ancient times,

Since China has always been an agrarian society,

So every year according to the calendar will be in a different solar term,

There are some rituals that go into it.

For example, on the second day of February every year,

Known as the dragon raising its head,

Symbolizing the beginning of the year,

also marks the end of the past year,

The Central Plains region is also because of this time,

The earth began to warm up,

The land is already suitable for farming,

And choose to do spring ploughing at this time of year,

Therefore, since ancient times,

The Emperor will be on the second day of February,

Held a grand spring ploughing ceremony,

On the one hand, it announces the beginning of spring ploughing,

On the other hand, it also shows the royal love for the people.

Therefore, this ceremony is very grand.

At the time of the ceremony,

The emperor needs to bathe and change clothes,

and personally use agricultural tools to reclaim the land,

Of course, most of them are just symbolic waving twice.

The emperor presided near the capital,

Officials from all over the country also presided over the spring plowing ceremony in the local area.

It's a custom,

At the same time, it is also one of the limited activities that can be enjoyed by the people.

Lu Bu looked at the view,

His heart suddenly moved, and he asked:

"Xiaozhi wants me to preside over spring ploughing in Hetao?"

Fa Zheng's face showed joy when he heard this,

Bow and salute:

"The lord is wise! That's exactly what Xia Guan meant. Now our army has quelled the Dangqiang rebellion, and at the same time recovered Hexi, Hetao and other places. People in both places are unstable, and although there are various measures, it is difficult to achieve results in the short term. If the lord can preside over the spring ploughing ceremony in the Hetao area, it can immediately win the hearts of the people and is conducive to the stability of the two places. ”

Lu Bu's eyes lit up when he heard this,

Fa Zheng really surprised him one after another,

Through the spring ploughing ceremony,

Gather the hearts of the people in Hetao and Hexi,

It's a stroke of genius.

Eyebrows raised, and Lu Bu suddenly thought of one thing again,

Then he spoke:

"That's very good. In addition, I would like to ask Your Majesty to set up a new county in the Loop. ”

"Set up a new county!?"

As soon as Lu Bu said this,

Everyone present was immediately in an uproar,

Yang Fu hurriedly opened his mouth to stop:

"Wen Hou, Wen Hou can't!"

Lu Bu frowned slightly,

looked at Yang Fu and asked:

"Why not?"

Yang Fu straightened his waist and said loudly:

"Wen Hou, no one has done this since the founding of Gaozu. It was the emperor's right to establish counties. If someone else is a fake hand, this is a great rebellion, even if the lord just proposes to ask the saint, there is no precedent in our court. If this is the case, I am afraid that I will be scolded by the scholars! ”

Yang Fu's explanation immediately attracted the support of the crowd.

Lu Bu was even more puzzled,

He asked:

"Why is that?"

Yang Fu pursed his lips,

Lang Sheng said:

"Wen Hou, if in the peaceful and prosperous times, Wen Hou is in the imperial palace, and he makes this request above the court, it is a suggestion to the emperor, once a new county is really set up, it also means to expand the territory, for His Majesty, it is the glory of opening up the territory, and for Wen Hou, it is a suggestion. But at this time and at that time, since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the dynasty has declined, Kyushu has been shaken, and ambitious people have risen everywhere. Marquis Wen is now a foreign minister, and his power is huge and hated by others, if he asks His Majesty to set up a county at this time, he will definitely provide an excuse for people to attack Marquis Wen. After all, once a county is set up, a large number of big officials need to be promoted, and the imperial court needs to allocate a large amount of materials, money and food, and some people will definitely slander Wen Hou's move as cultivating party henchmen and wanting to do a great rebellion, which will damage Wen Hou's name and integrity! ”

After Lu Bu listened to Yang Fu's words,

I couldn't help but be silent for a while,

Now although the emperor is in decline,

But nominally still supreme.

The establishment of counties and counties is already a matter of the emperor's bottom line and dignity,

Lu Bu's identity and status at this time,

If this opinion is made,

will definitely be used by people with a heart to make a big fuss,

This is an inevitable scenario.

Although it will not cause actual direct losses to Lu Bu,

But in terms of prestige,

The blow to Lu Bu will be very heavy.

The ancients paid attention to the fact that the teacher was famous,

In all things you will occupy righteousness,

For example, the majestic and slightly like Cao Cao,

He didn't dare to abolish the emperor all his life,

That's why

Although the Han Dynasty was decaying,

Although the emperor exists in name only,

But that's a symbol after all,

And in a certain period of time,

This symbol is supreme,

Although there will be some guys who don't have long eyes,

For example, the arrogant Yuan Shu,

But everybody will still follow this rule,

As soon as someone tries to break or overturn it,

Then it will be attacked by all the rao groups.

Lu Bu is also in this situation at the moment,

Just like Yang Fu,

At this turbulent time,

and Lu Bu's current identity and status,

So that once he brought it up,

It will inevitably attract countless abuses and questions.

And the political capital he had accumulated before,

and a good reputation,

It is even very likely that because of this incident,

Causing irreparable damage.

Lu Bu looked at everyone,

found that everyone's thoughts were almost unanimously not optimistic,

turned his head and looked at Fa Zheng next to him,

I saw that Fa Zheng also shook his head slightly.

Lu Bu lowered his head and fell into deep thought,

Indeed, he also took it for granted,

For a long time, although the development has suffered several setbacks,

But they all have to survive without danger,

And the power under his command is expanding rapidly,

made Lu Bu less distracted from the previous kind of heart and walking on thin ice,

This arrogant idea spreads unconsciously,

If you don't notice it,

but laissez-faire,

There is a real possibility that you will go astray in the future.

Nodding, Lu Bu said:

"What Yishan said is very true, but I have not thought about this matter well."

Lu Bu took the initiative to admit his mistake at this time,

made many people below look at Lu Bu with admiration again.

After the end of the court,

Lu Bu quickly rushed to the Hetao with his personal guards,

Now there are only two hours left before the second day of February.

If you don't hurry,

can't catch up with the spring ploughing ceremony,

So Lu Bu could only set off non-stop.

On the second day of February,

This is a rare good gas,

Above the blue sky,

Floating white clouds,

The early spring sun sheds a faint warmth,

The warm breeze will be the grass on the ground,

Blowing undulating,

The vast Hetao Plain is like a beautiful picture at this moment.

On the banks of the great river,

There are many fields,

This is where the local Han people live and farm.

This is their home.

Since the Southern Xiongnu migrated to the cluster,

This is no longer the Han family,

Instead, it became a paradise for the barbarians of the steppe to herd horses,

The Han people gradually became slaves,

The owner here,

and then they become those who ride on tall horses,

Savage nomads.

Just because these Hermes-Epitek are able to farm,

to be able to provide the nomads with the food they need,

and some other supplies,

Therefore, the Han people survived.

But life is also unusually hard,

Gradually, these Han people gradually became numb,

have become accustomed to such a life,

Even many young Han Chinese,

Except the language of their mouths,

and beyond their costumes,

There is no longer any belonging to the Han Dynasty.

For the nomads to come,

These people are Han Chinese,

But for the big man,

but they are outcasts.

Until some time ago,

A troop suddenly appeared,

Not only did they wipe out the most powerful tribe in the region,

and will also be among the people of that tribe,

Men and women, young and old,

All of them were slaughtered.

This force for the nomadic people,

The attitude is very fierce and domineering,

If you don't agree with each other, you can directly raze the entire tribe to the ground,

Later, not only the Qiang tribe,

Even the Southern Xiongnu and Xianbei people,

They were all very afraid of this Han Dynasty army,

In the eyes of these Hermes-Epitek,

It's all something that has never been seen before.

Once upon a time, people from the Han Dynasty also came to the cluster,

But the results are miserable,

If the so-called Han Dynasty officials appear in clusters,

It is even more life-threatening.

But this army of the Han Dynasty,

but subverted this past impression,

Including later,

Southern Xiongnu and Xianbei people,

I want to fight for what is left behind by Dangqiang,

That fertile grassland pasture,

They all had to send people to ask for the Han Dynasty's army's permission.

Corresponding to the treatment of nomads,

This Han Dynasty army for those Han people,

But it's very friendly,

And he distributed to them the cattle and sheep that he had plundered,

will also be some other daily necessities,

They were distributed to these Hermes-Minds.

Today, on the second day of the second month, the day when the dragon raises its head,

In the Central Plains, this one is held every year to hold a ploughing ceremony,

Two days ago, the Han Dynasty army issued an order to all Han people,

The spring ploughing ceremony was held here today,

And in the course of the ceremony,

The leader of this Han Dynasty army will be present in person.

Early in the morning, countless Han people gathered here,

Gathered around a wide field,

It's still early,

There are still a lot of people who are still far away and still rushing here.

There are many Han soldiers stationed in the fields.

They are well-equipped,

One by one, they raised their heads and chests were very majestic and majestic,

The people who were waiting around were whispering.

"Look how majestic those soldiers are!"

"Hey, then you haven't seen them fight, that's amazing!"

"Really?"

"Of course that's true, some time ago, there was a Qiang tribe next to us who fought with them, but I saw that battle with my own eyes! Oh my god! That's amazing! ”

A young man danced and told the people next to him.

Immediately there was a humane next to it:

"Tell us what kind of powerful method it is."

The young man looked around triumphantly,

found that many people are looking at themselves at this moment,

Only then did he speak:

"That tribe is not a big tribe, but there are three or five hundred young people, and guess what?"

Another young man spoke:

"Did the Han army go to thousands of people to level it!?"

", is that still a lot going to be good?"

The young man who spoke first glanced at the person who interjected with disdain,

Then he continued:

"The Han army came with less than a hundred people in total, and they made a few rounds of charges, and wiped out all that tribe!"

The people around were surprised when they heard this,

But a lot of shortcomings mean it's hard to believe,

They've all lived here all their lives.

I have also seen the army of the Han Dynasty,

But they were all chased and beaten by a small number of barbarians,

There has ever been such a situation in the youth center.

Seeing that the people did not believe their words,

The young man was immediately anxious,

Glaring at the eyes, he shouted loudly:

"What have I lied to you! Do you know whose army this army is? ”

"Who's it? Aren't they all the troops of the emperor of the Han Dynasty? ”

"Hey, hey, I don't know."

The young man glanced triumphantly at all the people,

Suddenly lowered his voice and said:

"Let me tell you, the general of this unit is called Ma Chao. What the? Haven't heard of Ma Chao? Then you've always heard of the 'Shenwei General' among the Qiang people, right? That's right, it's him! He is the one who led this force! 'General Kamui', your name, can you still be powerful? ”

After hearing this,

Many people made a sudden realization.

Originally, the Qiang people were the most powerful existence here,

Therefore they also know many things among the Qiang,

The 'Shenwei General' is widely spread among the Qiang people,

was preached to be divine,

Therefore, they have also heard of this name.

The young man continued to lower his voice:

"I'm telling you a secret."

When I heard that there were secrets,

The people around couldn't help but hold their breath,

Listen carefully to the young man as he continues,

The young man spoke:

"This 'Shenwei General' is now a subordinate of the 'Flying General'."

As soon as the words of the young people came out,

The people around were in an uproar again,

They are very familiar with Lu Bu's,

The 'flying general' whose fame shook the entire grassland,

Everybody knows that, everybody knows.

Someone suddenly opened his mouth and questioned:

"Ergouzi, you are bragging here again, they can't fight each other, why have they become a family."

The young man hurriedly argued:

"Look, you don't believe me, do you? After the fight, I went over to ask a soldier brother, he told me personally, and he also said that General Lu would come over in person for this ploughing ceremony......"

While these ordinary people are still talking,

The sun has slowly climbed up three poles,

The temperature is gradually rising,

In the distance, 'Boom! Boom! 'The drums of war sounded,

The rhythm of the war drums is very strong,

Every sound is like a knock on the heart,

Let all the people in the cluster,

I couldn't help but feel the blood boiling all over my body.

Immediately after, there was a loud sound in the distance,

Subsequently, all the Hermes-Epitek people saw an extremely spectacular scene.

I saw the horizon in the distance,

Slowly a black line appeared,

The black line is getting closer and closer,

Cover the grass on the surface of the rain,

It's as if you were pouring ink into the turquoise water,

It's moving quickly this way.

As the distance gets closer and closer,

Everybody sees clearly,

It was a cavalry force numbering more than a few thousand.
