The Huns entered the Koukou chapter

The rift between Liu Qi and Liu Wu finally broke out completely this year! In October, Liu Wu came to the court, and as usual, he applied to stay in Chang'an for a few more days. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 info But this time, Liu Qi uncharacteristically refused: Do it according to the old rules, you should go back!

It is necessary to explain the regulations of the Han Dynasty: the princes and kings went to Beijing to meet the emperor, and the number of times they met with the emperor was four. For the first time, I entered the palace alone to pay respects, talk about family life, and the emperor set up a banquet to entertain him, which is called "small see"; The second time, on the first day of October, the princes and kings presented the gifts, and the emperor thanked and returned the gifts, which is called "law view"; Three days later, the emperor gave the princes a banquet and gave them money and goods; Two days later, the princes and kings entered the palace again. Then prepare to say goodbye and return home, which should not exceed 20 days in total. But in the past, the 20 days stipulated by the central government were far from satisfying the feelings of Liu Wu and Empress Dowager Dou, the mother and son attachment. Liu Qi also once approved Liu Wu to play as many days as he wanted in Chang'an, and he didn't have to care about the rules. As a result, the longest time Liu Wu has stayed in Chang'an is half a year. Looking back, I can only say this: the hearts of these two brothers for each other are dead!

In the end, Liu Wu returned to China depressed. In April of the 6th year of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty (BC144), Liu Wuxu, King of Liang. Cause of death: Depression and unhappiness! The wealth of the Liang Wangfu is huge. After investigation, there are more than 400,000 catties of gold alone. Other treasures, and countless more...

When the news came back to Chang'an, the Empress Dowager Dou cried and made trouble, plus a hunger strike, and kept nagging only one sentence, "The emperor really killed my son" Liu Qi entered the palace to save his mother, and repeatedly comforted. But the Empress Dowager Dou ignored it at all, just cried in bed, and scolded Emperor Jing of Han. Liu Qi was helpless and asked his sister, the eldest princess Liu Yan, for advice. Liu Concubine thought of a plan for Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty: all Liu Wu's five sons were named princes, and all five daughters were given Tang Muyi. Liu Qi immediately issued an edict according to the plan, dividing Liu Wu's original Liang State into five, and crowning Liu Wu's five sons as kings: Liu Mai as the king of Liang, Liu Ming as the king of Jichuan, Liu Pengli as the king of Jidong, Liu Ding as the king of Shanyang, and Liu Buzhi as the king of Jiyin. At the same time, Liu Wu's five daughters all ate Tang Muyi.

After all these were done, I went to play the Queen Mother, and the Empress Dowager Dou really turned her sadness into joy and began to eat...

The Han Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety. In our era of the world, the so-called state is the enlarged family; The so-called family is a shrinking country. Therefore, Confucianism will have the ideals of self-cultivation, family harmony, governing the country, and leveling the world. The rulers of the Han Dynasty all governed the country with the concept of governing the country and the concept of governing the country. Filial piety is like an invisible thread, but also the lubricant of the whole country, which will make the country more stable and harmonious. Undoubtedly, Liu Wu, the king of Liang, had also deeply touched his emperor brother Liu Qi with his empress dowager Dou. So when Liu Wu was given the final conclusion of the coffin, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty ordered: all the Han emperors in the past dynasties have a common character, and the most important life character of the Han emperors in the past dynasties: "filial piety" to his younger brother, called Liu Wu, the king of Liang Xiao!

At this time, there was a Han generation, when the princes and kings were the most, there were 25: Liu Dao, King of Chu (Liu Jiaosun), Liu Dingguo (Liu Zesun), Liu An, King of Huainan (Liu Bangsun, Liu Changzi), Liu Ci, King of Hengshan (Liu Changzi), Liu Hu, King of Jibei (Liu Changsun), Liu Zhi, King of Jiangchuan (Liu Bangsun, Liu Feizi), Liu Shou, King of Qi (Liu Feisun, Liu Jiangluzi), Liu Xi, King of Chengyang (Liu Feisun, Liu Zhangzi), Liu Duan, King of Jiaoxi (Liu Qizi), Liu Ji, King of Jiaodong (Liu Qizi), Liu Fa, King of Changsha (Liu Qizi), Liu Yu (Liu Qizi), King of Jiangdu Liu Fei (Liu Qizi), Liu Pengzu (Liu Qizi), Liu De (Liu Qizi), Liu Sheng, King of Zhongshan, Liu Cheng (Liu Qizi), Liu Shun (Liu Qizi), Liu Shun (Liu Qizi), Liu Yue, King of Guangchuan, Liu Deng (Liu Hengsun, Liu Shenzi), Liu Mai, King of Liang (Liu Hengsun, Liu Wuzi), Liu Ming (Liu Wuzi), Liu Pengli, King of Jidong (Liu Wuzi), Liu Ding (Liu Wuzi), Liu Ding, King of Shanyang, Liu Buzhi (Liu Wuzi), King of Jiyin (Liu Wuzi)

Since Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, several emperors, including LΓΌ Pheasant, have been doing a popular project: reducing punishment. But the person who could truly liberate the Han Dynasty people from harsh punishment was Liu Qi, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty. At the beginning of Liu Qi's ascension to the throne, he thought that although his father, Emperor Liu Heng of the Han Dynasty, had removed the corporal punishment, the relevant punishment had not been reduced enough. So he stipulated: If the offender should be given 500 lashes, he should be given 300 lashes; and where he should have been given three hundred lashes, he was given two hundred lashes.

But now 12 years have passed, and Liu Qi finds that he has not changed enough, and he must continue to change. For these shall be beaten with three hundred and two hundred lashes, and shall be either killed or crippled. What's the difference between that and killing someone alive?

So in May, Emperor Liu Qi of the Han Dynasty issued another edict: those who should be punished with 300 lashes for crimes should be reduced to 200; and he who should have been given two hundred lashes was given one hundred. But don't think that it's enough to have a hundred less each, if Liu Qi only changes to this step, the Han Dynasty really doesn't know how many cripples. Why? The problem lies in the whipping stick and the way it is played.

Before, the Han Dynasty waited for criminals with a big stick, and they hit them directly in the back, without discounting. In this way, not to mention people, even if you pull an elephant, I am afraid that you will also be crippled. So Liu Qi re-promulgated a new law, the Law on the Enforcement of Whipping Sticks.

The law stipulates that whipping can only be done with bamboo sticks (bamboo sticks are weaker than wooden sticks); The diameter of one end of the bamboo stick is 1 inch, and the end is half an inch thin (the diameter is large, and the strength must be heavy when hitting the person); When whipping, only spank (hitting other places will hurt internal organs), hit to the end in one go, and no substitution is allowed in the middle (replace with a new person, have enough strength, and kill people faster)

Liu Qi has been busy enough in the past few years: he leveled Liu Bi, killed Liu Rong, trampled Zhou Yafu to death, and killed Liu Wu angrily... Now there is an old problem on the border of the Han Dynasty that he needs to deal with: the Xiongnu have come to rob again!

Since Liu Qi ascended the throne, although the ghost shadow of the Xiongnu has been active on the border of the Han Dynasty, there has been no spectacular scene of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty entering the border. There are two reasons why Liu Qi can enjoy such a favorable treatment of the Xiongnu: 1. The Xiongnu generation is not as good as the generation, and the strength is not what it used to be. 2. The first emperor Liu Heng removed many obstacles for Liu Qi and did a lot of practical work to recruit people and strengthen the border. It may be said that although Liu Heng threw Liu Bi, the mess of the same surname Wang, to his son Liu Qi, it also created a relatively stable border for Liu Qi. The merits and demerits are offset, can it be considered a tie?

In fact, the reason why the Huns did not have a big Kou is that Liu Qi himself has done a certain amount of work. He advocated peace and continued to make peace with the Xiongnu. Even he did something that the previous national leaders couldn't do: send the princess to marry the Xiongnu Shan Yu. The princess is small, but sincerity is big! Since Liu Bang until Liu Heng, the Huns have been married to fake Han princesses, but what Liu Qi gave to the Huns' military minister Shan Yu is a genuine princess. In addition, Liu Qi also opened the city and communicated with the Xiongnu, which slightly stabilized the mood of the Xiongnu.

There is no big coward, but it does not mean that there is no small robbery. Every year in winter and spring, it has always been the peak season for the Huns to rob. There is no way, the weather is cold, and you have to find something to move your body. It is better to die in battle than to freeze to death. Brothers, let's go!

Eight years ago, Liu Qi married the princess of the Han Dynasty to the Xiongnu military minister Shan Yu. Four years later, in February 148 BC, in the winter and spring, the Hun cavalry entered the border of Yan and robbed. Now another 4 years have passed, in June this year, the Xiongnu suddenly changed the traditional robbery season, changed to dispatch in the summer, entered Yanmen, broke Wuquan, and went straight to Shangjun, robbing the Han Dynasty war horses!

We know that the reason why the Huns dare to rob and make trouble is because they have a terrifying cavalry. Chao mistakenly said that Yiyi Yiyi, this is not to say fun. Therefore, under the guidance of Chao Cuo's thoughts, the Han Dynasty began to raise war horses and establish its own cavalry troops. The Han Dynasty horse farms were mainly distributed in the northwest border, divided into 36 institutes, with a total of 300,000 horses, and 30,000 people who raised horses and guarded horses! Horses, the weapon of the country. Guarding the war horse is the foundation of the country! The person in charge of the security and defense of Shangjun is none other than the famous general of the Han Dynasty: Li Guang!

Li Guang, born in a family of generals. The glorious history can be traced back to the ancestor Li Xin. Li Xin, a general of the Qin State, was famous for his bravery in the Qin army. In that year, the Qin army broke through the Yan State, the King of Yan retreated to Liaodong, and Li Xinqin led thousands of soldiers to chase wildly. King Yan was forced to offer the head of Prince Dan of Yan, but Li Xin still pursued relentlessly, and finally broke through the Yan army and established a great contribution to the destruction of Yan!

But the back of the brave and daring to fight is reckless. At that time, Li Xin promised the king of Qin that an army of 200,000 would be enough to destroy Chu. As a result, the army was dispatched and was beaten to the ground by Xiang Yu's grandfather Xiang Yan, and the exploits accumulated in the first half of his life were all offset overnight, and he was only exchanged for a heroic rashness! And history always has a striking similarity. Li Xin's bravery, Li Guang is not dwarfed at all; And Li Xin's tragedy, Li Guang is no worse than his ancestors!

Li Guang's skills are the same as those of his ancestor Li Xin: good at shooting and daring to fight. In his opinion, there is no war that cannot be fought, and there is no Huns who cannot be shot!

Li Guang was about 14 years old when he debuted. In 166 BC during the reign of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, the old Shangdan of the Xiongnu committed a border with 140,000 cavalry, and Li Guang enlisted in the army with the children of the Liang family and attacked the Xiongnu with the army. On that expedition, Li Guang relied on the archery skills passed down from his ancestors to kill many Hun cavalry, and he was in the limelight. Since then, he has risen all the way, first worshiped as Langzhong with a rank of 600 stones, and then worshiped as a rider with a rank of 800 stones. Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty ascended the throne, and worshiped him as the cavalry general of the rank of a thousand stones, and during the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, Li Guang was worshiped as the commander of the cavalry of the rank of two thousand stones. At this time, Li Guangnian was about twenty-six.

At that time, the Han Dynasty's Jiuqing high-ranking officials and the county guards of the highest local governors had a salary cap of 2,000 stones. Therefore, corruption and bribery are not counted, except for wages, they have to rely on feudal food to support themselves. But in the end of Li Guang's life, no matter how hard he fought hard, he was never made a marquis, and became one of the most sympathetic figures in the history of the Han Dynasty. Wang Bo, one of the four masters of the early Tang Dynasty, once shouted a sentence in "The Preface to the Pavilion of King Teng", "Li Guang is difficult to seal, Feng Tang is easy to get old", since then, Li Guang and Feng Tang of the same dynasty have almost become the common knowledge of frustrated literati and the historical lesson of venting anger!

Liu Heng once sighed before his death: "It's a pity that Li Guangsheng was not at the right time." If he was born in the era of Gaozu, Wanhu Hou would not be a problem at all for him" But if he studied this seriously, Liu Heng was only right in the second half. To say that Li Guangsheng is not at the right time? What nonsense! At present, the great enemy of the Huns is the time when Li Guang is needed the most! In this case, why did Li Guang struggle for forty or fifty years, but he didn't even get a small marquis? Li Guang is difficult to seal, isn't it too unreasonable?

The fact is: Li Guang is difficult to seal, in fact, there are many reasons of his own. The shattering of Li Guangfenghou's dream was actually a bad omen when he participated in the pacification of the Wu Chu rebels at the age of 26!

In that battle, Li Guang killed the enemy and captured the flag, and completely played the spirit of not wanting to die. However, Li Guang, who was famous, forgot what his surname was when he got carried away! He actually made a big mistake: he privately accepted the general seal given to him by Liu Wu, the king of Liang!

Who is Li Guang's boss? Zhou Yafu. Who is Zhou Yafu's boss? Emperor. In this way, the situation is clear: Li Guang is the emperor's person. King Liang still wants the emperor to seal it, why did King Liang seal General Li Guang? What's even more odious is that Li Guang actually accepted the general seal of King Liang! Didn't he know that it was unruly?

It seems that some people don't beat him back to his original form, he really thinks he can fly into the sky! Sure enough, Li Guang, who had made great meritorious contributions, was not rewarded after returning to the court. The deprivation of the right to reward is actually the greatest punishment. Li Guang, you want to be a general, you want to go crazy, right? Then you can keep dreaming! Liu Qi moved him to the Taishou of Shanggu County.

Liu Qi bullied Li Guang, and at this time, the Huns also came to join in the fun. Li Guangcai was too punctual in Shanggu County, and the Huns ran to the door every day to provoke. Li Guang didn't say a word, pulled up his brother and fought directly with the Huns. So fighting with the Huns seems to have become Li Guang's favorite sport. If you don't play for a day, your hands will itch. After fighting with Li Guang so many times, the Huns suddenly discovered: I have seen someone who is not afraid of death, but I have never seen someone who is not afraid of death. Once, the Xiongnu were frightened by Zhidu, but now they are scared by Li Guang!

The story of Li Guangai's fight with the enemy immediately attracted the attention of the Minister of Foreign Affairs (the official state) Gongsun Kunxie. He came to Liu Qi's office, "Li Guang, this guy is proud of his high military strength, and he is addicted to fighting with the Huns. But I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of what if. It would be a shame if he had in case. So please let Your Majesty change his position and let him rest for a while" Liu Qi immediately approved: move Li Guang to the county guard.

Relatively speaking: Upper Valley is the front line, and Upper County is the rear. Raising war horses in the rear, Li Guang's main task is to protect the horse breeding house and prevent the Huns from robbing it. However, for the Huns, Li Guang was the queen bee, and the war horse was honey. The allure of honey far outweighs the threat of queen bees. So there was the previous scene: the Huns were unexpected, and on a hot day in June of the lunar calendar, they traveled far and wide, entered Li Guang's territory, and robbed the road.

This time, the Xiongnu snatched the war horses, and the Han Dynasty suffered heavy losses, with the death toll of two thousand in the battle alone. The loss of 2,000 soldiers is not that our army is incompetent, but that the Huns are too cunning. To deal with the cunning Huns, the only way to deal with them is to be cunning! Finally, Li Guang did it!
