Chapter 301 The world is marrying generals

Speaking of which, this Xiongnu is only Yu Fuluo, and it was also a very strange existence in the late Han Dynasty. In the fourth year of Zhongping (187 AD), the former Zhongshan Taishou Zhang Chun rebelled, and then led the Wuhuan people Qiu Liju to invade the border counties. Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty issued an edict to requisition the troops of the Southern Xiongnu and transferred them to Youzhou Mu Liu Yu to lead them to attack Zhang Chun. At that time, the Xiongnu Shan Yu Qiangqu sent his son, Zuoxian King Yu Fuluo, to lead the cavalry to Youzhou. But after this Yu Fuluo arrived in Youzhou, he did not make an inch, and Qiu Liju, the leader of Wuhuan, and Zhang Chun, the thief, were exterminated by the combined forces of He Xian and Gongsun Zhan.

Unexpectedly, the Xiongnu country underwent great changes. The Xiongnu nobles were worried that Shan Yu Qiangqu would send troops endlessly, so they united more than 100,000 people, erected a banner to rebel, and killed Shan Yu Qiangqu.

When King Zuoxian learned of the murder of his father in Fuluo Youzhou, he immediately announced his succession to Shan Yu, and at the same time hurried to the Xiongnu. However, the nobles who participated in the coup d'état in the Xiongnu were afraid that Yu Fuluo would retaliate after he ascended the throne, so they set up another Shan Yu named Xu Bugu. After his accession to the throne, the first thing he did was to gather his men and horses, and fought a great battle with the army loyal to Fro on the steppe. Yu Fuluo was defeated and had to return to Youzhou with the remnants of thousands of Hun cavalry. He appealed to the emperor of the Han Dynasty through Liu Yu for help, wanting to use the power of the Han Dynasty to regain Shan Yu's position.

This came and went, and the time had come to the sixth year of Zhongping (189 AD). At this moment, Luoyang, the capital of the Han Dynasty, is also turbulent and unpredictable. Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty died, eunuchs, relatives, party members, and imperial parties fought with each other, and the Han court couldn't even take care of the things it had smelted, where did you have the energy and effort to care about your Xiongnu's? As a result, the matter of Yu Fuluo's borrowing of troops was shelved like a stone sinking into the sea, and no one cared about it anymore. Yu Fuluo, the titular Xiongnu orthodox Shan Yu, also went into exile in Jixian County, Youzhou, Dahan. The number of cavalry under the command of Yu Furo was not large, only 8,000. But all of them are elite warriors of the Huns, and their combat effectiveness is very strong. Liu Yu had these Hun cavalry to support the scene, and Gongsun Zhan didn't dare to tear his face.

In Bingzhou, Shangdang County Shou Zhang Yang united with Hanoi County Shou Wang Kuang, and in order to maintain law and order in the county, they fought a lively battle with the "White Wave Thieves" led by Guo Tai, Yang Feng, Han Xian, Hu Cai, Li Le, and other Yellow Turban remnants.

The world is disturbed, but the seven counties of Jingzhou are because of He Xian's strong maintenance, and the people live and work in peace and contentment.

In the first month of the second year of Chuping (191 AD), Nanyang Wancheng ushered in a great celebration. General Wei, who has reached the age of 20 and Mu He Xian of Jingzhou, is about to marry Huang Yueying, the daughter of Huang Yancheng, the great Confucian of Jingzhou! General Wei is both civil and military, and the little lady of the Huang family is knowledgeable and reasonable, and her talent and appearance are unparalleled, which is a good match made in heaven. When the people of Wancheng heard that He Xian had married, they brought some eggs, vegetables, coarse cloth and other things from home to congratulate them.

He Xian had already instructed the housekeeper that nothing could be accepted from the people, and a three-day flowing water banquet was set up at the gate of Hejiabao, but all the people who came to say goodbye could have a meal of happy wine and go home with a red envelope of nine cents, symbolizing eternity. He Xian's move to treat the people of Wancheng as his own family made He Xian's image in Wancheng, Nanyang, and Jingzhou more majestic and tall.

The entire Hejiabao is now lit up, and everywhere is plastered with red happy words. The welcoming team set off for Wancheng Huangfu in the morning, and did not take Huang Yueying to Hejiabao until the afternoon.

The marriage in Hejiabao was vigorous and lively, but there were not many distinguished guests who could really witness the two newlyweds. Uncle He Miao and aunt He Ying attended as He Xian's parents, Huang Yancheng and Cai Yuan attended as the woman's parents, and the officiant was He Xian's master, who can also be regarded as Huang Yueying's half master, Mr. Shuijing Sima Hui!

Cai Mao, Kuai Liang, Xiang Lang, Huang Zu, Zhao Fan and others couldn't get out of the county because they had just stabilized, so they just sent people to send valuable gifts. However, all the important strategists and generals under He Xian's command gathered together, this was He Xian's wedding, and it was also a meeting between the new and old core forces of the Nanyang Army.

Wen has a long history Guo Jia, engaged in Zhonglang Cheng Yu, Nanjun County Shou Xu Shu, Nanyang County Shou Li Yan, etc.; Wu Youyue Cavalry Captain Zhao Yun, Tun Cavalry Captain Zhang Liao, Shooting Captain Wen Ping, Changshui Captain Wei Yan, Infantry Captain Gao Shun, Jinfan Captain Gan Ning, Jingnan Captain Wenxiang, Jingbei Captain Wei He, Nanyang County Captain Li Feng, Nanyang Sima Wang Xiaoxiao and other cultural ministers and military generals, full of talents.

In the Han Dynasty, the main part of the worship hall was divided into six parts, called Liuyi. They are: sue the court, pick up the wife, worship the church, perform family salutes, sue the Quartet, and listen to the ceremony.

The ceremonial master informed: In the future, the wife will host the family ceremony, perform the New Year's Festival sacrifice, and preside over the salute to the elders.

The etiquette master informed: Practicing family etiquette and establishing family rules is the foundation of family prosperity.

The guests applauded and congratulated.

The wedding ceremony is complete.

Two thousand years later, the agenda of traditional Chinese weddings basically continued the long-term rites of the Han Dynasty. It's just that, relatively speaking, the wedding of the Han Dynasty is more solemn, with less noisy music and more sacred solemnity. He Xian and Huang Yueying proceeded one by one according to the procedures of the Six Instruments, and these civil and military generals gathered together to drink wine and eat meat while cheering loudly. After Huang Yueying was sent into the cave room, He Xian drank with these people one by one.
