Chapter 26: Remembering the Annals of History
The Battle of Longcheng was of epoch-making significance in the history of the Han-Hungarian war, which boosted the morale of the Han army, became a turning point in the Han-Hungarian War, and laid a good foundation for the further counterattack of the Han Dynasty in the future.
This victory was not easy to come by, and Emperor Wu Liu Che worked hard for it for several years, and at the same time paid a heavy price.
This victory allowed Liu Che to firmly grasp the initiative in the relevant discourse of the Hungarian and Han dynasties in the imperial court, and he could also puff up his chest to refute the rumors if he wanted to have any miscellaneous words, which was of great significance.
Wei Qing over there is still in Shanggu County, and Liu Che here has already announced to the world when he gets the news: Dragon City has won a great victory.
And when this news reached the people, even some people did not believe it.
The most excited is the border people, who have been persecuted by the Huns for a long time, beating gongs and drums, and crying with joy.
And after Longcheng was raided by Wei Qing, the Huns also remembered Wei Qing's name, after all, it was Kyoto.
Shan Yuting even offered a bounty and a second-class king's condition to Wei Qing's head.
This battle also made major changes on the Xiongnu side, the monarch and the minister Shan Yu's illness worsened, and the prince Yu Shan asked the four kings of Shan Yuting, and exterminated the three kings who were ineffective in resisting the Han Dynasty, involving as many as 1,000 people.
Although Yi Zhixian was the brother of the military minister Shan Yu, he was still affected, half of the fief was cut off, and the controllable resources were reduced by half compared to the original, but the team he pulled up was saved in this storm.
And Zuoxian Wang Hu Hante was summoned by the military minister Shan Yu to Wolf Juxu Mountain to explain the situation, if he didn't have 100,000 people in his hands at present, as a military minister Shan Yu would really have to punish him all over the house.
All in all, Kyoto was attacked, the monarch's family suffered, and things were all right.
The military minister Shan Yu, his son, and other little kings captured by Wei Qing from Longcheng were also escorted to Chang'an by Li Guang in advance, and sent to Han Anguo, the imperial historian, to be punished, and I heard that more than 100 of them were killed on the first night.
……
Chang'an City is very lively.
In the North Sect, the people of Chang'an have already blocked the periphery, and they are about to welcome Wei Qing's triumph.
At noon, the ceremony of entering the city began.
Wei Qing rode a war horse and walked at the front of the team, followed by Ruoyao and Wang Qilin.
Cheers and shouts came and went,
Before, after being humiliated by the tribute for a long time, the people could not stand up to the backbone.
Back then, in the long-term depression, I heard Liu Che's blood-boiling oath of war,
In the past few years, repeated defeats and battles have also changed from the original enthusiasm to doubts.
Now, the people of the Han Dynasty are finally looking forward to this victory, and the final answer .......
History says that the Battle of Longcheng was a turning point in the Hungarian-Han War and the starting point for the Han people to rise up.
The Weiqing Legion entered the city one after another, and at the Dianjiangtai of the teaching field, Liu Che was watching the Weiqing squad return to the dynasty under the escort of the Qimen Army, his eyes were firm, his expression was serious, and he held the sword at his waist tightly.
After the whole army arrived at the North Sect Field, Wei Qing quickly dismounted, and then beckoned everyone to wait for instructions on the spot.
But Wei Qing only took a few steps forward, and saw Prime Minister Xue Ze walking down the steps quickly with the holy decree in his hand, and then looked around at all the sergeants present with a very strange expression and said loudly: "Wei Qing takes the order!" ”
The prime minister personally read out the holy decree, which is very rare in the imperial court, which shows the high standard.
Wei Qing hurriedly knelt down, and the rest of the soldiers also knelt on the ground when they saw this.
Xue Ze slowly opened the holy decree, first paused for a moment of silent recitation and said loudly: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor summons the sun, the Han has suffered greatly from the Xiongnu since the founding of the country, the court has long been and pro-tribute, and the border people's lives are miserable. ”
"Minister, Wei Qing and the soldiers of the Gate Thank Your Majesty for the reward!" Wei Qing's voice was very loud, enough for the people in the school field to hear.
After Xue Ze finished reading it, he took two steps forward and handed the holy decree to Wei Qing: "General Wei is beautiful today?" ”
Although these words were a little weird, Wei Qing still returned the salute: "Prime Minister Xie." ”
"Your Majesty is still a general, see you quickly." After Xue Ze finished speaking, he turned around and walked up the steps without looking back.
"Show me, show me." Ruoyao was the first to step forward and snatch the holy decree in Wei Qing's hand and looked at it, and Wang Qilin, Wei Guang and others then swarmed around Ruoyao in the middle.
Seeing this, Wei Qing hurriedly stopped: "Okay, okay, quickly, Your Majesty is waiting to summon me, and the three of you come with me." ”
Wei Qing, Ruoyao, Wang Qilin, and Wei Guang quickly walked towards Dianjiangtai after sorting out their clothes.
Dianjiangtai is also very lively, several bigwigs from the imperial court have come, Prime Minister Xue Ze, acting Taiwei Hongping, and even the imperial historian Han Anguo, who sometimes does not even participate in the court meeting after illness, has also arrived, and other important officials in charge are side by side.
"Chen Weiqing has seen Your Majesty." Wei Qing is a military general, and his early education was also very masculine, so Wei Qing has never knelt down to Liu Che, which has also been tacitly approved by Liu Che.
Liu Che took three steps forward, punched Wei Qing in the chest, and then took Wei Qing's hand and walked to the front of the Dianjiang platform where he could see the entire North Sect and said, "Look, the entire Han is proud of you today." ”
Wei Qing hurriedly took a step back and was a little frightened: "Your Majesty, the minister has just fulfilled the duty of a soldier." ”
For this answer, Liu Che is extremely satisfied.
Liu Che and Wei Qing are the same age, after ascending the throne, they fell into the struggle with the Empress Dowager Dou, except for Li Guang in the court, there is almost no military talent who can confront the Xiongnu, Wei Qing's performance undoubtedly makes Liu Che excited.
"Wei Qing." Liu Che's expression was serious.
Wei Qing's head always bowed slightly: "The minister is here!" ”
"I, not just want a great victory in Dragon City, I need to completely solve the problem of the northern frontier." After speaking, Liu Che walked to the Dianjiangtai and looked at the cheering crowd and said, "Would you like to help me complete this mission?" ”
Wei Qing was stunned, he always knew that this was Liu Che's idea at the beginning of his ascension to the throne, and it was also his idea of realizing his values and ambitions, so he immediately knelt down and said: "Minister, you will not dishonor the holy order." ”
"Good!" Liu Che picked up Wei Qing, who was kneeling on the ground, with his right hand, and turned to look at Wei Guang, Wang Qilin, and Ruoyao and said, "Wei Qing, you are good, not only fought a beautiful battle, but also accepted a beautiful female deputy general." ”
Ruoyao was a little embarrassed after hearing this.
Wei Qing smiled weakly and said: "Your Majesty atoned for your sins, Ruoyao was a slave who was rescued after the ministers came out of the fortress, and ...... at that time"
"No explanation." Liu Che observed the two and said, "We're all still young." After speaking, Wei Qing said: "Go back, you have to do a good job of your general's wife." ”
Ruoyao didn't have to think about it to know that these two big men were thinking in that direction, so angry that she clenched her fists.
……
On the south tower of the city in the north of the North Church, Li Guang, Li Cai, Li Xuan, Li Dang and other generals of the Li family also watched.
They didn't say a word, they looked at them coldly.
Li Guang frowned, and turned around and left after watching Liu Che summon Wei Qing, unconvinced.
