Yan Ran Le Ming
Yuan An and Ren Kui charged first, and they had the hooligan momentum of "I am the third prince, who am I afraid of". Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info What are you afraid of! We are not fighting alone, behind us, there are also Shi Lugong, Shang Shuling Han Liang, Zhu Hui, Zhu Hui, Yilang Lehui and others are cheerleaders...
But they soon found out that Empress Dowager Dou was indeed a tough woman who was not easy to mess with. They quarreled with them, but Empress Dowager Dou not only did not stop using troops against the Northern Xiongnu, but she did something that made these men crazy: building a large number of buildings in Luoyang City. And it is not a national project, but the Dou family's mansion. Empress Dowager Dou's younger brothers, Dou Du and Dou Jing, requisitioned and dispatched servants to build buildings with great fanfare...... It's a big deal!
You must know that there is an important reason why the civil official group of the Han Dynasty collectively opposed the conquest of the Northern Xiongnu, that is, the country has no money. During the reign of the first emperor Liu Wei, he implemented a series of policies such as the monopoly of salt and iron, and made a lot of money. The problem is that he has a knack for making money, and he spends money without moderation. When he was in a good mood, he was like a god of wealth, rewarding everywhere, so that before he died, the treasury was empty.
The treasury has no money, and the foreign army has to burn money, where does the money come from? can only transfer the crisis to the people of the world! The people are the foundation of the country. The people complained, can the world be stable? With such a simple truth, why didn't Empress Dowager Dou understand it? is embarrassed to let the Dou family build a mansion, is the loser just to be angry?
What Empress Dowager Dou did has deeply pierced the heart of the Han Dynasty civil official group! They shook their heads, sighed, and protested. But Empress Dowager Dou withstood the pressure with her iron will, and was guiding the Han Dynasty to a road that none of them could have imagined...
Dou Xian was afraid that after he went on the expedition, the children of the Dou family would break the law, so he specially asked his protégé to bring his own letter to ask Shang Shufu to shoot Zhi Shou, and ask him to return to protect the Dou family when he arrived, so as not to offend. How do you know that Zhi Shou is selfless, and he actually detained this protégé to the edict prison, and wrote a letter to Chen Douxian's crime, comparing him to Wang Mang. During the court meeting, he ridiculed Dou Xian in front of him for attacking the Huns and building mansions. Dou Xian was angry, and said in front of the Empress Dowager Dou that Zhi Shou bought public land privately and slandered the court. Empress Dowager Dou immediately ordered Zhi Shou to be sent to the court to discuss the crime, and finally convicted him of a capital crime. Thanks to He Changshang's intercession, he was exempted from the death penalty and cooperated with Pujun. But Zhi Shou was so angry that he killed himself.
In June, when the civilian official group was still in Luoyang City, hysterically fighting with the Empress Dowager Dou, the Han army was divided into three routes and marched in the direction of the Northern Xiongnu without hesitation: Dou Xian and Geng Bing set off from Jilusai in Shuofang County, the Southern Xiongnu Hulan corpse chased Hou Yudanyu from Manyi Valley in Wuyuan County, and Deng Hong set out from Guyangsai in Wuyuan County. The meeting place was initially set up in Zhuo Evil Mountain.
But when Dou Xian just walked to Jiluo Mountain, he found the prey! The first large-scale battle between the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Northern Xiongnu began!
On behalf of Dou Xian, the vanguard was more than 10,000 Southern Xiongnu elite cavalry led by Yan Pan, Geng Kui, and Geng Tan. Geng Kui is the younger brother of Geng Bing, the deputy commander of this expedition. Coming out to hunt is to talk about luck, Geng Kui is very lucky, he met a big prey - the Northern Huns Shan Yu!
As soon as the two sides fought, the Northern Xiongnu were defeated, and they ran away just by pulling their legs.
Then, the armies of all fronts also arrived in time to rendezvous. Under Dou Xian's order, the Han army pursued and killed the Northern Xiongnu like crazy, and chased all the way to the private canal Beiluohai.
This was the territory of the Northern Xiongnu. But I can't be the master of my territory. More than 13,000 people were killed in the Northern Xiongnu, more than 1 million livestock were robbed, and more than 200,000 people from 81 small tribes were surrendered before and after.
Dou Xian's victory this time far surpassed the predecessor hero Huo Quai. In the history of the Han-Hungarian War, it was an unprecedented victory! However, the one who established this eternal feat was actually one of the most mischievous demon kings in Luoyang City!
At this time, the Northern Xiongnu Shan Yu had fled without a trace. Dou Xian sent Wu Yan and Liang Wei to carry a large amount of property and go to find someone. Soon they found people in the Western Sea.
They first gave gifts to Shan Yu of the Northern Xiongnu, and then conveyed Dou Xian's words: "The Han Dynasty is very powerful, even if you put on your wings and fly to the sky, you will be pulled down!" You can only learn from your predecessors, and marry our Han ministers. If we give you money to spend, don't make trouble for us. If you agree, go back to Luoyang with us and meet our emperor" The Northern Xiongnu had no way to escape, so they had to pretend to be happy and agree to surrender and return south with the army.
Dou Xian and Geng Bing can finally announce the withdrawal of troops. Before the class teacher, the two of them went out for more than 3,000 miles and climbed the majestic and steep Yanran Mountain!
208 years ago, Huo Qubing led his troops to run 2,000 miles, went deep into Mobei, chased and killed the Huns, and finally completed his peak masterpiece. At the cost of losing 10,000 people, 70,443 Xiongnu were killed, 3 Xiongnu princes and 83 high-ranking officials were captured. However, Huo Quai, who was lonely and seeking defeat, was not satisfied, and finally climbed the Wolf Juxu Mountain, built an altar to worship the sky, and returned to the teacher...
Today, Dou Xian is going to learn from Huo Quai, climb the mountain to tell the sky, and promote the courage of the Han Dynasty! So he erected a stone tablet on Yanran Mountain and ordered someone to engrave words on it to record the great achievements of this campaign. Dou Xian even found the gunman who wrote the inscription: Ban Gu, the author of the Book of Han!
Above the towering Yanran, Ban Gu waved his pen vertically and horizontally and wrote the famous "Yanran Mountain Inscription". Thousands of years later, we still seem to hear the distant singing coming leisurely - the king of Shuo is conquest of the desolate descendants, and the murder is intercepted overseas. The boundary of the earth, the god hill is built long, and the Xi Emperor is carrying the eternal life!
When the Northern Xiongnu Shan Yu had just walked to the Sea of Private Canals, he found that Dou Xian had taken the lead to lead the Han army into the fortress and returned to China, so he suddenly repented and slipped away. Of course, Mr. Shan Yu still left a way back for himself: to send his younger brother King Wen Yu to Luoyang as a hostage.
Dou Xian returned from the expedition and returned to Luoyang City singing the song of victory. The singing came into the ears of the Empress Dowager Dou from afar, and her heart was like a river and a sea, full of excitement!
This is the song of victory, and it is also the symphony of fortune of the Dou family. Before setting out on the expedition, Empress Dowager Dou felt a lot of pressure in her heart. If you lose, the consequences are unimaginable. But today, the clouds are out of the fog, and the Empress Dowager Dou really wants to sing a song... Of course, this song is for my brother Dou Xianhe, and it is also sung to Yuan An, Ren Kui and others!
So on July 22, the Empress Dowager Dou issued an edict on meritorious rewards. On September 7, Liu Shang was named the general of the chariot cavalry; Geng Bing is the Marquis of Meiyang; Dou Xian is a general, the Marquis of Wuyang, and has 20,000 households. But Dou Xian said, "I just need to be a general, as for the marquis, I resolutely refuse" Empress Dowager Dou looked at it: It's okay not to be a marquis, but you can't let you suffer, brother! In this way, according to the old practice, the general is under the three dukes, and now I will promote you to the position below the Taifu and above the three dukes!
See? This is called the real singing and harmony! Before the expedition, you three dukes took turns to fight, spitting non-stop, and wanted to trample me Dou Xian under your feet. Now that I'm back, I won't spray you, but I'm going to stomp you all the way to the end and taste what it's like to be stepped on!
Dou Xian and Empress Dowager Dou fought side by side, laying the foundation for the Dou family to look down on the world! Now all over the world, the palace belongs to the Empress Dowager Dou, the military power belongs to Dou Xian, and even the capital Luoyang belongs to the Dou family!
The one who takes care of Luoyang City is Dou Xian's younger brother Dou Jing. This guy is comparable to Dou Xian, flying and domineering, doing whatever he wants. is a good capital, and he has made it restless. Rape, robbery, monopoly trading... There is not a bad thing that Dou Jing did not support him! It made those businessmen who came and went from south to north look at Luoyang City from afar, and they trembled when they thought of Dou Jing.
If someone makes trouble, there must be someone in charge. Yuan An played the impeachment of Dou Jing. He also impeached Si Li's lieutenant Henan Yin A's noble relatives, who did not dare to perform the duty of impeachment, and should be exempted from the crime. However, after the book was delivered, it was like a stone sinking into the sea, and not even a blister was visible. Even Lord Situ's recital doesn't work, it seems that the water in Luoyang City is really not ordinarily deep!
Since the water is deep and the rocks can't make waves, then I'll throw a depth charge and see if I can blow up a few big fish?
He Chang, who had done bad things for Dou Xian, is now a scholar. He wrote a long recital, scolding the Dou family from beginning to end, "Dou Xian is in charge of military power, Dou Jing and Dou Du are in charge of palace guards, they are all lawless and rebellious." If you don't teach anymore, it will be Zheng Guo's uncle Duan, the state of Weiguo, and he will be reborn in the Han Dynasty. The Great Han Kingdom will not be a country. The Queen Mother must limit the rights of your brothers. Only Dou Gui, the commander of the horses, is relatively low-key and can continue to be appointed, and everyone else should be driven out of Luoyang City. This is for the sake of the Han world, and also for the sake of the Dou family."
Dou Xian took a look: Okay, you are He Chang. I was made up by you before, and I almost hung up. And now you're here again? Then Lao Tzu will accompany him to the end!
Dou Xian felt that the best way was to drive He Chang out of Luoyang City first. Where can you go? Dou Xian heard that Liu Xiu's fifth son, Liu Kang, the king of Jinan, loves to rectify people, so he will give He Chang to Liu Kang to rectify!
In this way, He Chang's depth charge did not blow up the fish in the water, but blew himself out of Luoyang. Soon, He Chang left Luoyang and went to Jinan to serve as a prince. An additional sentence: During his tenure as Taifu, he was not repaired by Liu Kang, but people respected him very much, so his life was not as miserable as Dou Xian imagined...
After He Chang was driven out of Chang'an City, everyone in Luoyang City was in danger of being a minister-level senior official. Everyone swallowed their anger, and they didn't dare to let go of farts, they were afraid that the next one to be kicked out would be themselves! However, there are always exceptions. When everyone shut up, Yuan An was still jumping on the water, fighting a war of words with the Dou family unrelentingly! For characters like Yuan An, Empress Dowager Dou didn't dare to move, and Dou Xian didn't dare to move. The compromise is: you scold yours, I'll do mine...
In October, Emperor Liu Zhao of the Han Dynasty issued an edict: prisoners in the world could have their sentences commuted and sent to serve in the military camp. Prisoners who were sent out of the prison were allowed to return to their fields even if they had not yet reached the end of their sentences.
On February 19, the 2nd year of Yongyuan (90), the governors of Xihe and Shangjun were re-established. On May 1, Emperor Liu Zhao of the Han Dynasty issued an edict: divide Taishan County into the northern kingdom of Jibei; Fen Lecheng, Zhuo, and Bohai counties are the country between the rivers. On the 7th, Liu Zhaofeng's fifth brother Liu Shou was the king of Jibei, the sixth brother Liu Kai was the king of Hejian, the seventh brother Liu Shu was the king of Chengyang, and the youngest son of Liu Fang, the eighth uncle of Huaiyang, who died nearly 3 years ago and did not have an heir, was the king of Changshan. and gave money and cloth to officials at all levels from the minister to the historian.
On the 10th, Dou Xian sent Yan Pan to lead more than 2,000 cavalry to raid the Northern Xiongnu garrison in Yiwu and reoccupy the place. The country of Cheshi was shocked. The former and second kings sent their sons into the service.
When Dou Xian was busy working on the Northern Xiongnu grassland, Ban Chao, who was thousands of miles away in the Western Regions, was not idle. More than 2 years ago, Ban Chao fought a war against the country of Shache, which shocked the Western Regions, and everyone knew it. However, we know that when Ban Chao attacked Shache at that time, it was very hard. Because at that time, King Shache couldn't hold it anymore, so he threw a big golden bullet to Kang Juguo, saying that I will give you money, and you will help me to overtake the shift. Collecting money to work, human nature, King Kangju came with troops without saying a word...
Ban Chao smiled. The country has money to throw away, so don't I have to throw it? So Ban Chao also sent someone to carry a large amount of money, went to a person and said, "As long as you help me persuade King Kangju to withdraw his troops, this money will be yours" When the man heard this, he didn't say anything, put away the money and went to do something, and he really got it done. King Kangju withdrew his troops, and Ban Chao successfully captured the rogue country of Shache.
Speaking of which, you may have remembered: the person who does things for Ban Chao is the king of the Yue clan.
Some people, with a few pennies in their hands, dare to enter the casino to become a banker, give him ten catties of rice, and he can open a restaurant. As it is with people, so it is with nations. King Yue's thoughts: In the past, Ban Chao asked him to do something, and it was done, this time it was his turn to ask Ban Chao to do something, it should be no problem, right? So he sent someone to say to Ban Chao, "I want to marry your princess of the Han Dynasty, please repair the book and tell your emperor."
King Yue never thought that when his envoy passed the word for him, Ban Chao shouted loudly on the spot, "Come on, take him down"
Etiquette is still exchanged, people's common feelings, Ban Chao comes from the state of etiquette, and the truth is better than anyone else. The problem is: not all countries can marry a princess of the Han Dynasty!
What kind of person can marry a princess of the Han Dynasty? The answer is very simple, you can only marry when you have value for the Han Dynasty and the price can be worth it. Such as the Xiongnu, as well as the king of Wusun in the Western Regions. But Ban Chao felt that your Yue Clan King was not enough for that level!
The current Han Dynasty is no longer the Han Dynasty of the past! In the past Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu harassed the border counties every year, and they were menacing, and the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty fought with them all his life, his hair was gray, and the national strength was exhausted, and the problem was still not solved. That's why he wanted to use Wusun to contain the Xiongnu and marry the princess. In the current Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu are about to be beaten out of the earth by Dou Xian, and it is too late for the Western Regions to be obedient, do you still want to fight the idea of the Han princess?
Don't think that you want to marry the princess of the Han Dynasty to give me Ban Chao's face, that's a big mistake. If my Ban Chaozhen marries the princess to you, it will not only be a shame for me, but also a shame for the Han Dynasty. You know, who is the boss in the Western Regions now, everyone can see it clearly, why are you the only one who can't see clearly?
