In the winter of the 14th year of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty (BC167), Liu Heng's strong border policy had just been implemented for more than a year, and the Xiongnu unexpectedly came out of the nest en masse. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

This time, the Huns came completely prepared. Lao Shangdan Yu led 140,000 cavalry, attacked from the flank with lightning speed, captured Chaona County and Xiaoguan in Beidi County, hunted and killed Sun Wei, the governor of Beidi, and plundered a large number of cattle, sheep and livestock of the people. What's even more terrifying is that Lao Shangdan Yu killed all the way to Pengyang County and burned back to the Middle Palace. Overnight, the advance of the Hun cavalry was like an airborne soldier to Yongxian, which is less than 140 kilometers west of Chang'an City, and Ganquan Palace, which is less than 90 kilometers northwest of Chang'an City.

The beautiful Chang'an City is like a picture scroll looking forward to the Huns! The catastrophe seems to have never been so close to Chang'an City and Liu Heng! At this time, the entire Chang'an City seemed to have experienced an earthquake, and fear seemed to be shrouded in the winter sky of the entire Chang'an City! Liu Heng, who has always endured humiliation and retreated and fought with others, was finally forced to draw a knife!

The first task of the Han Dynasty was to defend the capital city of Chang'an, and this task fell to the commander of the Chang'an garrison (lieutenant Zhou She) and the commander of the palace forbidden army (Lang Zhongling Zhang Wu). Liu Heng appointed Zhou She as the general of Wei and Zhang Wu as the general of the chariot cavalry, transferred 1,000 chariots and 100,000 cavalry, and deployed them in the north of Weishui, ready to meet the Xiongnu and defend the capital at any time. After that, he temporarily paid homage to the generals and stationed in three strategic places: Lu Qing was the general of Shangjun, Wei Tian was the general of Beidi County, and Zhou Zao was the general of Longxi County.

The above five people, except for Lang Zhongling Zhang Wu, who has appeared a few times, are all new faces. There is no way, Liu Heng is also very sad in his heart. The old ones are basically dead, and the new ones are not sharp, so I have to use them...

When everyone was in place, Liu Heng, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, personally worked the army, applied for religious orders, and rewarded generously, and suddenly announced: I want to personally conquer the Xiongnu!

Liu Heng's brave action immediately frightened the ministers. Everyone's unanimous attitude is: The Huns are hateful, and the price of the Son of Heaven is higher. At the moment of the great enemy, this is destined to be a vicious battle, what if something happens to the emperor? So they collectively came to dissuade the emperor: You can sit in command in Chang'an, and you don't have to risk your own expedition. However, the emperor's attitude was unusually resolute: no! I just want to be pro-enlisted, and I want Lao Shangdan Yu to know what the wrath of the Son of Heaven is!

It seems that Liu Heng is really ready to go out! At this moment, Empress Dowager Bo intervened: The Xiongnu must be fought, but you don't have to fight in person. 140,000 Hun cavalry, that's not a joke. There are thousands of people, but there is only one emperor. If you love yourself, you love the people and officials. Don't you understand this truth?

Faced with Empress Dowager Bo's stern questioning, Liu Heng had no choice but to say: I understand.

Liu Heng readjusted personnel: appointed Zhang Xiangru as generals, Dong Chi, and Luan Bu as generals, and led troops to counterattack the Xiongnu. This counterattack against the Xiongnu was fought for more than a month. The result was: Lao Shangdan Yu robbed the Central Plains for more than a month, and the Han army finally drove them out, and the enemy troops killed were even pitiful!

At that time, on the way to win the war against Hungary, in addition to the proposal of using razing to defeat the people and recruiting the people to strengthen the border, Chao Cuo also put forward another important opinion. Here it is: to produce good generals! The so-called thousands of troops are easy to get, but one will be hard to find!

However, excellent generals are like peerless beauties, which are hard to find. When Zhou Bo and Guan Ying became immortals one by one, the Han Dynasty became what it is today.

From this point of view, the result of this war between the unknown general vs the veteran of the battlefield is not difficult to understand. Of course, everyone in the Han Dynasty hoped for a miracle and one or two generals who bravely took the lead.

The wish of the people of the Han Dynasty has come true! This year, a man named Li Guang joined the army with a good family. In the future, he will be called "General Fei" by the Huns. However, Li Guang's fatal flaw lies in the fact that he lacks a sense of the overall situation and a grand strategic vision, which leads him to be only a general and not a marshal. Yes, Li Guang can lead a small army to win all battles in previous battles, but he can't lead a large army to run thousands of miles to complete the grand goal of expelling the Xiongnu from the fortress! The Han Dynasty still needs such a great commander-level figure!

Since this year, Lao Shangdanyu has become addicted to robbery, and since then he has to patronize the border of the Han Dynasty several times every year. Grab the west and grab the east. And those people who risked their lives to go to the border to reclaim the land almost all became sheep under the sword of the Huns. Miserable! It's really just one word...

Could it be that Chao Wrong's strategy of recruiting people and real sides is wrong? Of course, there is nothing wrong with Chao Mistake. But if you want nothing to happen at the border, it will not work by relying on border officials alone. Without a strong border guard, and a general like Meng Tian and Han Xin to act as a protector here, these border officials will always be the Huns.

Yes! The Han Dynasty still lacked a Meng Tian and an invincible border guard!

In fact, this time, Lao Shangdan Yu led 140,000 troops to rob him, and the purpose was nothing more than two: 1. to undermine the Han Dynasty's policy of recruiting people and strengthening the border; 2. Looting winter supplies. What's more, the Bank of China, who deserves to be cut by a thousand knives, said that he satisfied his desire for revenge in his heart!

As long as I say that I am alive for one day, you don't want to live a peaceful life in the Han Dynasty. I believe: This is what the Bank of China said most wanted to tell Emperor Liu Heng of the Han Dynasty!

Lao Shangdan Yu and the Bank of China said that they had already seen that the Han Dynasty's recruiting people were nothing more than trying to build a distant human wall, trying to keep the Xiongnu out of the fortress forever. If Liu Heng really has such a plan, Lao Shangdan Yu will tell him with practical actions now: You human wall, see how fast you can repair it, or how quickly I can dismantle it!

Liu Heng was depressed, once he was traveling by the Lang Bureau, and saw an old man in the car, so he casually asked, "Where is the home?" The old man replied, "The minister's surname is Feng Mingtang, and he is originally from Zhao." When his father was replaced by Zhao Xi, Liu Heng remembered the situation of the current Han Dynasty military generals, so he said, "When I was the acting king in the past, Gao Di, the food supervisor of the palace, repeatedly talked to me about the sage of Zhao General Li Qi, who was very brave in the battle of Julu. Qing can be familiar with this person, is it" Feng Tang said, "Li Qi is really brave, but he is still not as good as Lian Po and Li Mu" Liu Heng sighed "Yes! Lian Po, Li Mu, Bai Qi, and Wang Jian are known as the four famous generals of the Warring States. It's a pity that I was born late, if I can get Lian Po and Li Muzhong alone, what worry are the Huns" As soon as the words fell, he didn't expect Feng Tang on the other side to reply loudly, "Your Majesty, don't be a pity." Even if Lian Po and Li Muneng were born today, I'm afraid Your Majesty won't be able to use them" This sentence angered Emperor Wen of Han, and he immediately got up and drove back to the palace.

After arriving in the palace, he recalled what Feng Tang said, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was not unprovoked and abrupt, and there should be a special reason, so he summoned Feng Tang to ask "Why do you say that I can't use Lian Po and Li Mu" Feng Tang replied, "The minister heard that the ancient Ming King must be very solemn, and before leaving, he will kneel and push the hub, and say to the general who goes out on the expedition, 'Within the Kan, obey the orders; Outside of the general, obey the general's orders. The rewards for military merit are all at the disposal of the general, and they can be played before and after. Chen's grandfather once told the minister about the situation when Li Mu was a general of Zhao: the border city tax was all for his own use; Feasters don't have to report it. The king is not remote, but only looks at his achievements in the end. Therefore, Li Mucai had to do his best, chasing Shan Yu in the north, breaking the East Hu, destroying the forest, suppressing the strong Qin in the west, and supporting Han Wei in the south. Later, Zhao Wangqian listened to Guo Kai's slander, punished Li Mu, and ordered Yan Ju to replace him. It was then destroyed by Qin. Can His Majesty trust the border generals so much? The minister heard that Yunzhong County guarded Wei Shang, and what he did was like Li Mu: the city rent he obtained, he fed all the soldiers, and paid his own private money, slaughtered cattle every five days, and feasted guests, military officials, and people, so the soldiers served their orders and fought hard to guard the border. The Huns avoided it far away, not close to the fortress in the clouds. Once he entered the fortress, he was beheaded by Wei Shang, and he didn't dare to come again. However, because of his untruthful retribution, His Majesty sent the first enemy to the sixth rank, so he was cut off and dismissed from office, and sent to prison to be punished with hard labor. Isn't this a reward that is too light and a punishment that is too heavy? In other words, although Your Majesty has Lian Po and Li Mu, I am afraid that you will not be able to use it" When Emperor Wen of Han heard this, he immediately turned his anger into joy. Immediately let Feng Tang hold the festival, go to the prison to pardon Wei Shang, reappoint Wei Shang as the county guard in Yunzhong, and worship Feng Tang as the captain of the chariot.

On March 26, the 14th year of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty (BC166), Sun Dan, the son of the martyr Sun Wei, was made a marquis.

This year, Liu Piqiang, the king of Hejian, died. His son Liu Fu succeeded him as King of Hejian.

This year, a common man of Lu named Gongsun Chen wrote a letter to challenge Zhang Cang, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, who had studied the legal calendar! Gongsun Chen said: After the Han Dynasty inherited Qin Shuide, it should be Tude. The soil is yellow, and soon there will be a yellow dragon. Please correct Shuo, easy to wear color.

What the? I, Zhang Cang, was born in the imperial history of the Qin Dynasty, and what I eat is the bowl of rice that studies the legal calendar. Back then, it was I who suggested to Gaozu Liu Bang that our Han was a water virtue, and the breaking of the Yellow River Golden Embankment a few years ago was a manifestation of water virtue. Where is your yellow dragon? How dare a small ordinary person challenge me, a prime minister and expert? Fuck off now!

But something unexpected happened to Zhang Cang! In the spring of the 15th year of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty (BC165), a yellow dragon really appeared in the Chengji place of Longxi County (I don't know what this yellow dragon looks like) Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty believed it to be true, regarded Gongsun Chen as a god who could predict the future, worshiped him as a doctor, and asked him to affirm the virtue of the soil with all living beings, and discuss the change of the calendar, and change the service. He also ordered the ceremonial officer to formulate a suburban ceremony. And Zhang Cang fell out of favor because of this... In April, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty went to Yongjiao in person to preside over the ceremony of worshiping the five emperors of white, red, green, yellow and black, and granted amnesty to the world.

In September, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty ordered all princes, kings, ministers, and county guards to recommend virtuous and outspoken people to enter the court, and the emperor personally inquired. At that time, the prince's family commander was promoted to middle school doctor. Chao Cuo also connected 30 chapters, saying that it is advisable to reduce the power of the princes and the laws and regulations can be changed. Although Emperor Wen couldn't listen to everything, he was still wonderful.

In this year, Liu Ze, the king of Qi, and Liu Fu, the king of Hejian, died. All because they have no children.

As the old saying goes: respond with the same voice, seek from each other. In front of the Lu people Gongsun Chen, after the Zhao people Xinyuan Ping. Aragaki ran to Chang'an to ask for a meeting, and Emperor Wen of Han summoned him. Aragaki Ping's worship has been finished, so he said nonsense, "The minister is looking at the qi to come", Liu Heng asked, "What kind of gas do you see", Aragaki Ping replied, "In the northeast of Chang'an City, there are five colors of spirit nearby, and there should be a god to live." Your Majesty should answer Tianrui and build a temple on the spot" Emperor Wen of Han was fooled again, so he asked Aragaki Ping to go to the place where the colorful gods gathered to supervise the construction of the temple. Aragaki Ping came to Weiyang, looked at it with a fake appearance and suspicion, and said, "This is the place where you can build a shrine." There are five halls in the ancestral hall: according to the east, west, north and south, the five emperors are equipped with blue, white, red, black and yellow.

The Five Emperors Shrine in Weiyang was successfully completed. In April of the 16th year of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty (BC164), Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty went to Weiyang in person to worship the Temple of the Five Emperors according to the old practice a year ago. After the festival was completed, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty issued an edict: worship Aragaki Ping as the upper doctor and reward a thousand gold. The doctors and all the living beings collected the words of the "Six Classics" and compiled them into a book called "The Royal System" ("The Book of Rites: The Royal System" has been handed down to this day), and discussed the etiquette of hunting and sealing Zen.

Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty drove through Changmen one day, and suddenly saw five people standing in the north of the road, dressed in different colors. Just as they were about to pay attention to take a closer look, the five of them scattered in an instant, and they didn't know where to go. Liu Heng only vaguely remembered that the clothes of the five people seemed to be divided into blue, white, red, black and yellow, could it be that this was the Five Emperors? Immediately summoned Aragaki Ping, Aragaki Ping nodded again and again. Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty ordered: build the altar of the Five Emperors in the north of Changmen Road.

On the 17th, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty issued an edict: Liu Xixi, the king of Huainan, was the king of Chengyang. He also divided the state of Qi into six, and divided Liu Fei's six sons who were still alive: Liu Jianglu as the king of Qi, Liu Zhi as the king of Jibei, Liu Xian as the king of Suchuan, Liu Xiongqu as the king of Jiaodong, Liu Wei as the king of Jiaoxi, and Liu Piguang as the king of Jinan. Divide the Huainan Kingdom into three, and divide the three sons of Liu Chang who are still alive: Liu An is the king of Huainan, Liu Bo is the king of Hengshan, and Liu Ci is the king of Lujiang.

In the era of Emperor Wen, the princes and kings had a total of different surnames 1: Wu Cha, King of Changsha (Changsha, Guiyang, Wuling County); Wang 16 with the same surname: Liu Jia, King of Yan (Liu Zezi, Guangyang, Shanggu, Yuyang, Youbeiping, Liaoxi, Liaodong County), Liu Bi, King of Wu (Liu Zhongzi, Dongyang, Wu, Yan County), Liu Wu, King of Chu (Liu Jiaosun, Pengcheng, Donghai, Xue County), Liu Sui of Zhao (Liu Bangsun, Liu Youzi, Changshan, Handan, Julu, Qinghe County), Liu Xian, King of Suchuan (Liu Bangsun, Liu Feizi, Jiangchuan State), Liu Xiongqu, King of Jiaodong (Liu Feizi, Jiaodong County), Liu Wei, King of Jiaoxi (Liu Feizi, Jiaoxi County), Liu Piguang, King of Jinan (Liu Feizi, Jinan County), Liu Jianglu, King of Qi (Liu Feizi, Langya, Linzi County), Liu Zhi, King of Jibei (Liu Feizi, Jibei Kingdom), Liu Xi, King of Chengyang (Liu Feisun, Liu Zhangzi, Chengyang State), Liu An, King of Huainan (Liu Bangsun, Liu Changzi, Jiujiang County), Liu Bo, King of Hengshan (Liu Changzi, Hengshan State), Liu Ci, King of Lujiang (Liu Changzi, Lujiang, Yuzhang County), Liu Shen, Acting King Liu Shen (Liu Hengzi, Dingxiang, Yanmen, Taiyuan, Daijun), Liu Wu of Liang (Liu Hengzi, Dangjun)...

On June 27, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty issued an edict: to seal the two Xiongnu Xiangguo, the son of the former Han Wangxin Prince, Han Ying as the Marquis of Xiangcheng, and the former Han Wangxin's son Han Ying as the Gong Gao Marquis.
