In the midwinter month of the thirtieth year of Qin Shi Huang (the eleventh month of the lunar calendar), in the northern suburbs of Xianyang, Fengzhengyuan in Pingchuan, early in the morning, the snow had just stopped last night, and tens of thousands of people flocked to them.

"It's a cold ......"

Liu Ji couldn't help but shiver, the hand holding the broom was red from the cold, although it snowed every year in Pei County, I don't know if it was a psychological effect, the winter when he left home was always extremely cold.

He couldn't sweep the snow anymore, threw away his broom, shrank behind a tree, and looked south, and could see the hazy Xianyang Palace a few miles away......

"I really want to go to the palace wall to take shelter from the wind."

Liu Ji's good brother Lu Juan leaned beside him and looked at Xianyang Palace with envy, although they were ordinary people who lived like grass mustard, but after returning to Guanzhong from Saibei, they lived not far from Xianyang Palace, so they were very excited, and they especially liked to talk about the emperor:

How big is the emperor's palace, how many concubines does the emperor have, and what do they eat every day? Is it a delicacies from the mountains and seas, or beef that ordinary people can't eat. All this is often on their lips.

Although, they couldn't get even a step closer.

Liu Ji's fellow countryman, the cattle breeder Zhou Xi (xiè), also walked over, licked his chapped lips and said, "If the emperor wants to sweep the snow, he will definitely use a golden broom." ”

Lu Juan laughed when he heard it: "I don't know, the emperor's slaves are hundreds of thousands, where is the need to clear the snow himself!" In this weather, it is not in the charcoal warming house, drinking mutton soup, scalding some wine, and warming the body by the concubines...... But Brother Ji, you said that the emperor lives in such a large palace, how much firewood and charcoal does he have to burn to warm up? ”

Liu Ji rolled his eyes: "The largest house that Naigong has ever lived in, that is, the mansion of Waihuang Zhang Daxia, in Xianyang Palace, there are thousands of such courtyard houses, how can I know." ”

"However, will we be able to see the emperor's car later?"

Lu Juan is still very excited, the reason why they want to sweep this flat is because today to hold the military salute of the Northern Expeditionary Army's "Ban Shi Zhen Brigade", it is said that Qin Shi Huang will come in person!

Everyone began to talk again, they were curious, is the emperor really like the legend of you, two feet tall, there are auspicious clouds above your head when you pass by, what will the emperor's car be like, is it really eight dragons pulling the travel?

While the Pei County widowers were having a good conversation, the overseer's whip was drawn.

"You dare to be lazy when you wait for this group of Shandong prisoners?"

The whip hurt on the frozen winter coat, Liu Ji and the others could only hurry up and continue to clear the snow, and after the overseer left, Lu Juan couldn't help but curse a few words.

"I thought that after the battle, I could go back to Pei County directly, who would have thought that we would continue to do hard labor, pave bridges and build roads, cold winter, snow and rain, these Qin people, really think we are subordinates?"

"Okay, don't make trouble because you have too many mouths, and make everyone sit together."

Liu Ji didn't want to do this hard work, but as the pavilion chief, he also knew that if he committed a crime in Guanzhong, all that awaited everyone was a catastrophe.

"Zhou Bo stayed in Saibei, even though he was wearing a woolen coat, he was definitely colder than us! It's better to say a few words, finish it quickly, and squat aside to watch the excitement! ”

Everyone agreed and sped up, and by the time the sun had fully risen, the entire Bongjeongwon snow had been cleared. However, Liu Ji and the others did not have a chance to see the emperor's car coming, and thousands of heavily armed soldiers rushed in, set up a cordon within a radius of ten miles, and drove all the widowers out.

After the clearance was completed, the nobles in Xianyang City arrived in the emperor's car, and the main owners of the Zhenlu ceremony, the soldiers of Shangjun, Yunzhong, Beidi, and Longxi, also entered one after another......

……

"The army has defeated the enemy, and there is a division to win in the mountains and rivers and ancestral temples. The army has returned, and it is given up abroad, and the class is the gift of the brigade ......"

This is the rituals that have been passed down since ancient times, and it is also a ceremony of triumph, and it is an honor that only the army that has won a great victory is entitled to enjoy. However, after Qin Shi Huang came into power, Xianyang was done almost every year, and the internal history of Teng to destroy Han and Wang Ben to destroy Wei were all in the eastern suburbs, among which Wang Jian had the most times, he killed Yan, Zhao, and Chu, and every time he was huge.

However, this time the Zhen Brigade was different, it was specially held for the soldiers who opened up the territory in Jingbian and defeated Hulu, so it was located in the northern suburbs of Xianyang.

After the three poles of the sun, the soldiers of each county have been neatly arranged into more than a dozen phalanxes on the plain, all of them are swallow-jawed tiger heads, strong and strong, with official uniforms and clothes, strong bows and crossbows, and arrowbags on their waists. The dark battle flag, the standard armor, and the sharp sword halberd shine dazzlingly under the noonday sun.

"It's a neat queue, and it's more energetic than the lieutenant army."

Among the entourage, a Confucian scholar in his thirties was amazed, his name was Fu Sheng, a native of Qidi, a newly recruited doctor, who had seen such a scene for the first time.

"After all, it is a division of a hundred battles that has fought in Saibei! There is already an aura of slaughter, and these soldiers who participated in the ceremony of revitalizing the brigade are all carefully selected, which is naturally extraordinary. ”

Heifu's old acquaintance, Uncle Lu Ru and Sun Tong are not surprised, these military rites and ancient rituals are the place where Qin Shi Huang used Confucianism, and he also participated in the organization and was familiar with every process. Then he said to Fu Sheng:

"You see, the real excitement is still to come, according to the rules, the army wants the priests to sing and sing loudly in front of His Majesty, in order to boost the prestige of the army, and then sacrifice the prisoners and behead the remnants, and the generals will follow His Majesty into the city to drink a big prize."

Kai Le, the joy of dedication, this is the popular tradition in the Spring and Autumn Period, when the Jin Wen Gong defeated Chu in the city of Pu, Zhen Brigade, Kai to enter the Jin. At this time, not only the musicians should play the music, but also the priests and soldiers should sing the songs.

Although it was just a formality, tens of thousands of people played it together, which was very spectacular.

Fu Sheng nodded, quite expectantly, and glanced at the distance again, Qin Shi Huang's imperial chariot had already sat down under the altar, and the prime minister, the court captain, the imperial historian, and the veteran Wang Jian were all accompanied, just waiting for the soldiers to come to the victory.

The Shangjun soldiers who came up first, but there was no Feng Zheng who lost the battle, and the generals of the defeated army were not eligible to participate in the ceremony of the Zhen Brigade, so only the veteran Qiang with gray hair and no spirit in the past.

"Rong Che 啴啴啴 (tān), 啴啴焞焞, like thunder. Uncle Xianyun Fang, Zheng Vasil 玁狁 (xiǎnyǔn), barbarian Jing Laiwei! ”

The Kai song sung by the Shangjun soldiers is a song "Xiao Ya. Picking.

After hearing this, Uncle Sun Tong smiled and said: "This song is meaningful, General Qiang doesn't know poetry and books, it must not be he who came up with it, but the handwriting of the court lieutenant who supervised the county soldiers, Fu Sheng, you may solve it?" ”

Fu Sheng was also knowledgeable, so he said: "This poem is about Zhou Xuan's Wang Qingshi and the general Fang Shu's military revitalization in order to deter Jing Man, which is also agreeable." However, the old general Qiang had more than 100,000 troops, but he only beheaded 500 heads, surrendered to Lou Fu, two small achievements, but he was still promoted to the rank of chariot by His Majesty, which was really embarrassing. ”

However, the poem is prefaced with words and barbaric. Although General Qiang did not make great contributions to the conquest of the Xiongnu, he made a lot of efforts to destroy Chu back then, and Ting Wei really had a heart. Coupled with the poem's 'Uncle Fang's elder, he is strong', I think this is a clear message to the elderly. ”

"Your Majesty is easy to use newcomers......"

Uncle Sun Tong nodded, this time in the northern expedition, the veteran has no merits, but the newcomer is brilliant, since the emperor also gave the stairs down, except to tell the old man to let the virtuous, Qiang has no other choice.

Next is the soldiers in the clouds under Meng Tian, and what they sang was a song "Out of the Car" that everyone was familiar with.

"The king ordered Nanzhong to go to the city in Fang. Get out of the car Peng Peng, and get out of the Yangyang. The Son of Heaven ordered me, the city is the other side! ”

Fu Sheng was a little puzzled: "Although this Meng general beheaded 1,000 people, took tens of thousands of livestock, and seized the entire Beijiao land, and rekindled the beacon fire of the Great Wall of Zhao, but since he compares to Nanzhong, it is a little too much?" ”

Shusun Tong shook his head: "Don't you know, when Your Majesty was on his northern tour, he personally said that Meng Tian can be my Southern Zhong?" Meng Tian asked the soldiers to take this as a triumphant song, which means that he fulfilled his promise to His Majesty, this newly built Shuofang County, basically the soldiers in the clouds were defeated, and now Shuofang City has really been built, even if there is not much merit, there is hard work, and moreover, the Mengshi brothers forgot their homes for the country, and the emperor will not be stingy with rewards for such generals. ”

When the Meng Tian brothers, one as the commander and the other as the overseer, went to the outside of the Saiwai, their father Meng Wuzheng was seriously ill and had just died last month, and the Mengtian brothers did not even have time to take a last look at their father......

So Meng Tian chose this poem, what he really wanted to say, wouldn't he be nostalgic? Afraid of this book! ”

Fu Chang saw it: "I thought that General Qin was all Kansai military men, vulgar and ignorant of etiquette, and never thought about it, it was better than I thought." ”

"General Qiang has Li Tingwei to supervise the army, although the Mengshi is a military gate, but it is also moved from the Kanto, can be literary and martial, Meng Tian also made a new brush, can order poetry and books, how strange?"

Uncle Sun Tong hesitantly: "It's the next Beidi Longxi soldiers, Wei and Li, two generals, one is an old Qin general, and he doesn't like poetry and books." A person from a low background, who doesn't know etiquette, and sings Kai songs, I'm afraid he can only rely on Gongzi to supervise the army to find a way. ”

As he spoke, the two armies of Beidi and Longxi also appeared together. The first to appear were the horsemen of Longxi and Beidi wearing red cherry blossoms and bright feathered hats, wearing dark soft leather armor, crimson battle robes, holding seven-foot-long riding spears, black sheathed swords, and some were equipped with bows and crossbows.

All the people rode fine horses, six and a half feet high at the shoulders, handsome and majestic. And for today's scene, a leather vest painted with tiger stripes was specially draped, which looked very neat and majestic - this thing was used by the Jin army during the Battle of Chengpu that year.

Later, it was the foot soldiers who escorted the Xiongnu prisoners, and the chariots of the two generals Li Xin and Heifu were clustered in the middle.

The last one to appear is often the protagonist of this battle, who has the most credit and who has little credit, and it is naturally clear to see the emperor's promotion. Qin Shi Huang also believed that in this battle, Longxi and Beidi had great achievements, and they fought together against the Xiongnu Shan Yu and drove the enemy together, so they should be combined into one army and participate in the ceremony of revitalizing the brigade.

While the two armies were standing still, snowflakes rose from the sky, and they fell on their armor, swords, bows, horses, and the noses of their soldiers......

But the military salute will not be delayed by this little snow, different from the ancient poems of Shangjun and Yunzhong soldiers, the two armies of Beidi and Longxi sang a simple and novel tune loudly according to Heifu's instructions!

Not only did it lift the morale of the three armies and make the emperor's eyes shine, but even the Confucian scholars who had nothing to do with themselves were shocked by this poem!

"The moon black geese fly high, and they flee in the night. If you want to chase away the light horsemen, the snow is full of bows and knives! ”
