Chapter Seventy-Eight: Solid

In 413 A.D., after several years of conquest against the Later Qin, Hu Xia gradually controlled the area north of the Qinling Mountains in Guanzhong, the ambitious Hu Xia lord Liu Bobo officially ascended the throne as the emperor, amnesty the world, set up a hundred officials, and ascended the throne ceremony. ”

Liu Bobo felt that he named the new capital after "Tongwan", but he could not show his great achievements and full of pride, and said to the ministers: "My ancestors, migrated from Mobei to Youshuo, because the ancestor is Dayu, then he took Xi as his surname, time passed, the rise of the Han family in the Central Plains, and because of the difference between the language and the Central Plains, so the surname Liu with his mother's name." The son follows the mother's surname, which is not in line with the etiquette. There is no convention for the surnames of the ancients, and the name of the place of birth is used as the surname, and the official title of the ancestors is used as the surname. I want to change my surname according to righteousness. The emperor is the son of heaven, which means that the beautiful and prominent status is connected with the heavens, and I should change my surname to Helian, hoping to conform to the will of the heavens and enjoy the auspicious signs given by the heavens for a long time. The surname of Helian is the honor of heaven, and it cannot be shared with the clans of the side, and the descendants of the descendants of the non-mere descendants all use Tie Fa as their surname, and the descendants of the clan of Wangzhen are as strong and sharp as iron, and they can attack others in all directions! ”

At this time, the civil and military ministers shouted "Long live!" ”

Helian Bobo saw the ministers shouting like a tsunami, thinking that everything was for the favor of God, and looked up to the sky and laughed. At the end of the enthronement ceremony, the general of the ministry felt that he had a heavy responsibility, and did not dare to delay, so he hurriedly recruited the people and began to build the city of Tongwan based on the luxury city built in the Western Han Dynasty.

He was loyal to him and was born with him with great skill after he fled to the Qin Dynasty, but his temperament was cruel and tyrannical, and he made the craftsmen steam the dust to build the city wall, and if the awl could penetrate the city wall by an inch, the craftsmen who built the city wall would be killed and built into the wall, so that the city wall of Tongwan City was strong, like gold water poured, but tens of thousands of craftsmen were tortured and killed.

Helian Bobo saw that he was doing his best to do things, and ordered him to supervise the construction of weapons and armor. Emperor Ali was appreciated and acted even harder. The craftsman presented the armor of the weapon, and he ordered the new armor to be stabbed with a new weapon, and if the weapon could not penetrate the armor, the craftsman who made the weapon was killed, and if the armor was pierced by the weapon, the craftsman who made the armor was killed.

Qigan Ali cast a hundred steel knives for the emperor Helian Bobo, and made a dragon bird ring on the back of the knife, this knife is called "Daxia Dragon Sparrow", and the inscription is engraved on the knife body: "The ancient sharp weapon, there is Wu Chu's Zhanlu." The Great Xia Dragon Bird Treasure Knife, famous all over the world, can be used to pacify distant enemies, Huairou defectors, powerful Kyushu, like the wind blowing grass. ”

Helian Bo got this treasure sword, and couldn't put it down, and saw that the weapons and armor supervised by Qigan Ali were all sharp and tenacious, and rewarded it greatly, but the craftsmen who died because of it were as many as thousands.

At this time, Hu Xia's national strength was strong, Helian Bobo frequently led the army to invade the south, Hu Xia soldiers were all vying for the first, the weapons were sharp, the armor was solid, the Hou Qin armies were all defeated and retreated, more than 100,000 were wiped out, more than 20,000 households were plundered, and the livestock were countless, and the famous general Yao Shuode and others of the Later Qin Dynasty passed away one after another, so that the Later Qin Emperor Yao Xing faced the invasion of Helian Bobo, so that the border residents had to move inward, form a good alliance with the Eastern Jin Dynasty, return the land that had occupied the twelve counties, withdraw the army to reinforce the Southern Yan, and send a levy tax item to the interior to increase the tax revenue of soldiersThis method was like drinking a donkey to quench thirst, killing chickens and taking eggs, which not only failed to limit Helian's vigorous growth, but made the people of Later Qin miserable and his rule precarious.

Seeing that the Northern Liang and Western Qin were becoming stronger and stronger, Helian Bobo sent an envoy to make friends, and the lord of the Northern Liang State was frustrated by Meng Xun and the lord of the Western Qin State at this time to destroy the dying Nanliang, and he was also afraid that Helian Bobo would make a knife in the back, so he formed an alliance with him.

In the year when Helian Bobo was called emperor, the bald Wei Tan, the lord of the Southern Liang Kingdom, fought hard to save the decline, and personally led the army to conquer the Northern Liang, and the Northern Liang Lord Fuqu Mengxun led the army to meet the battle, and defeated the bald Wei Tan in Houwu, and the bald Wei Tan fled back to the capital Ledu, and his subordinates surrendered to the frustrated Qu Mengxun, and the frustrated Qu Mengxun took advantage of the victory to force Ledu, trying to destroy the Southern Liang in one fell swoop, but the bald Wei Tan defended the city to the death, and the frustrated Qu Mengxun fought hard, and was afraid that the lord of the Xiliang State Li Wei would send troops to harass the western border of the country again, so he summoned his subordinates and said:" The ancient sages and emperors ruled the troubled times according to the destiny of heaven, regardless of the borders of the country, although the wisdom of the lonely is not enough to calm the trouble, but also willing to save the times, the bald Wei Tan regardless of the death of the soldiers and people in the city, relying on the old are dying and struggling. Lonely thoughts and the people are innocent, this time the soldiers are coming to the city, the bald vassals know the righteousness, one after another to submit, only it is the fight of the trapped beast, now the bald Tan is like a desperate beast, defending the lonely city, no limbs, his life is not guaranteed, the death is approaching, the people are peaceful, since then the army has withdrawn, back to the division along the way, the generals can order people to post notices, so that the people in all directions know its ugliness. ”

After that, he ordered the generals to gather troops and horses and return to the capital Guzang.

Although the Northern Liang army withdrew to the country, Southern Liang was on the verge of death, as Frustrated Meng Xun said.
