Liu Bang's Northern Expedition
Uncle Sun Tong was full of ambition and set off with high morale and confidence in victory. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Ceremony, for many years, bleak and persistent, never give up.
Today, the war is over, and it's Confucianism's turn to appear on the stage to whitewash the peace!
Within a few days, Shusun Tong returned to his hometown of Lu to recruit troops and horses, and recruited more than 30 Confucian students.
If the country of Lu lacks anything, there is no shortage of Confucianism.
Two Confucian scholars rejected Shusun Tong's recruitment on the grounds that you, Shusun Tong, have served for many monarchs, and have never heard of you being a sycophant, never heard of you doing serious things; The ritual music you are doing is not in line with the ancient law, you better invite someone else to go, don't come to tarnish our reputation!
Uncle Sun Tong smiled.
These two things that don't have long brains are really stupid to read!
Shusun Tong told his disciples, "Don't learn from these two brainless guys, a person who doesn't know how to be flexible, it's a dead end wherever he goes"
After speaking, Shusun Tong returned west with more than 30 people and returned to Chang'an City.
Shusun Tong is ready to rehearse, and the venue is located on the outskirts of Chang'an City.
In order to enhance the effect, Shusun Tong not only used more than 100 disciples, but also borrowed all the people around Liu Bang to train.
A month later, the Chaoyi program was arranged, Shusun Tong conducted a rehearsal, and Comrade Liu Bang personally came to watch and practice.
The effect is very good, the emperor is very satisfied, and he made a decision on the spot, such a court ceremony can be implemented!
So the emperor ordered: all officials should go to Shusun Tong's court etiquette training course, and learn it before the October New Year, otherwise, drive out of Chang'an City!
To be honest, the ministers of the Han Dynasty were just some croppers who had just washed their feet and went to the fields, and they were used to smuggling all day long, and they were talking about mothers and grandmothers when they opened their mouths, and asked them to learn any etiquette, which was no less than driving a group of landlubbers to the shelves, and the results were predictable.
But the emperor's eldest brother has given orders, you have to learn if you don't learn, unless you don't want to mix in Chang'an City... Thankfully, most of the ministers finally learned to "tend" before the beginning of the year.
In October of the 7th year of Han Gaozu (BC201), Changle Palace was completed in Chang'an City.
All the princes and ministers went to Changle Palace to worship the emperor and congratulate the New Year.
The era of Shusun Tong has finally come!
For this day, he waited for ten years, ten years of grinding a ceremony, and it was not easy to practice the rituals.
You must not know that this set of tricks and etiquette that Liu Bangken put into practice will still be dazzling to today's people.
The performance process is as follows: before dawn, the princes and ministers must wait in line outside the Changle Palace.
At the beginning of the day, the confessors began to preside over the ceremony, guiding them into the palace in turn according to the rank of princes and generals.
At this time, the palace flag fluttered, and the guards were displayed, which was very strict.
At this time, I saw the confessors paging "tend" one by one.
So the ministers walked briskly into the designated position.
Of course, the position is not a random station, all the meritorious heroes, princes, and generals of all levels are arranged in order to the west, facing east; All civil officials are arranged in the east, facing west, from the prime minister.
Followed by nine protocol officers, the emperor was summoned from top to bottom.
So I saw Han Gaozu Liu Bang riding the "dragon chariot"
Coming out of the harem.
At this time, all the hundred officials raised their flags and called for guard.
After Liu Bang descended and ascended to the throne in the south, the confessor would guide officials at all levels, from the princes and kings down to more than 600 stones, to bow their heads to the emperor in turn and congratulate them!
During the whole process, no one did not feel afraid, did not hold their breath and concentrated, and no one dared to make noise without authorization!
Waiting to hear "flat"
Only then did everyone dare to get up and retreat, and still stand in place.
And that's not all, the best is yet to come.
After the ceremony, it is followed by a wine banquet, which is called French wine.
The princes and officials stood up in the order of respect and humility to toast the emperor.
Pouring wine for nine rounds, the confessor announced a "boycott"
, Man Chao up and down only then let out a long sigh, it's finally over!
But this can't leave people, at this time, I saw the imperial historians who supervised the etiquette walked into the crowd, one by one pulled out the officials who did not comply with the etiquette, and took them away from the scene.
Where are they going?
What other good thing could be done besides spanking and intensive training?
At this time, Liu Bang sat high on the throne and said triumphantly to his uncle and grandson, "Damn, Lao Tzu only knew how cool it was to be the emperor today."
After Liu Bang finished speaking, he named his uncle and grandson Taichang on the spot and rewarded him with 500 catties of gold.
However, the uncle and grandson thanked Liu Bang, and took the opportunity to say, "The disciples of all Confucian scholars and ministers have followed me for many years, and the ministers have completed such a majestic and solemn ceremony today, please ask the emperor to give them an official and a half-post."
Liu Bang laughed, you are a good uncle and grandson, and you have not forgotten your roots.
Okay, I'll make them all Lang officials!
As the saying goes, if a person attains the Tao, the chicken and dog ascend to heaven.
In one day, more than 100 disciples who had been complaining for many years were all promoted.
What is even more admirable is that Shusun Tong did not privately swallow the five hundred gold, but gave it all to all living beings.
At this moment, the more than 30 Confucian scholars recruited from the Lu State were very happy, and they all admired and sighed, "Mr. Uncle Sun is really a saint in the world"
If the Han Dynasty is a train, then Liu Bang is the locomotive, etiquette is the track, and Shusun Tong is the senior engineer who lays the track.
Since then, the Han Dynasty has finally had a set of etiquette to observe.
In fact, this set of court rituals formulated by Shusun Tong generally follows the old rituals of the Qin Dynasty and has not changed much, so it is also called the Han Cheng Qin system in later generations.
Looking at it this way, the Qin period, the bright moon and the Han period, this is not only a simple hook of time and geographical space, but also a reflection of an unbreakable cultural umbilical cord!
However, in order to prevent others from stealing his job again, Shusun Tong bound this set of etiquette rules and regulations into a book and hid it in the deep palace.
After that, except for the Confucians, the common people wanted to be self-taught, but there was no door.
In October, after Liu Bang passed the court, he decided to personally go north to conquer Han Wangxin and the Xiongnu.
But perhaps for Liu Bang, Han Wangxin's surrender is not a bad thing.
In his opinion, these kings with different surnames, except for Lu Xuan, there are few reliable ones at all, and it is only a matter of time before they are eradicated, since Han Wangxin gave him a good excuse, then don't blame his subordinates for being ruthless!
Han Wangxin had already lined up in Tongba County, Shangdang County, waiting for Liu Bang's arrival.
For him, Tongba was the last checkpoint for the Han army to enter Jinyang.
Whether you can keep the copper slug is directly related to the whereabouts of the human head on your neck.
In the heavy snow in October of the lunar calendar, the soldiers of the Han army were like gods possessed by the flesh, and Wang Xi, the general under Han Wangxin, was killed.
Han Wangxin couldn't resist it, and he died alone and went to the Huns... However, the war has not become clearer, but more complicated.
There were two people from Baitu County, Manqiuchen and Wang Huang, who set up another mountain, supported Zhao Li, a descendant of the late King of Zhao, as the king, and gathered the remnants of Han Wangxin's defeated generals, under the banner of the new Zhao State, united the Xiongnu and Han Wangxin, and prepared to counterattack Liu Bang.
Liu Bang couldn't cry or laugh, hit Han Wangxin, and Zhao Lilai appeared?
I've seen someone who isn't afraid of death, and I've never seen someone who dares to be the king of the world like this, if you don't beat you Zhao Li, a ghost crying wolf, I will never return to the dynasty!
At this time, Mao Dun Shan Yu also sent the right and left Xian Wang, each with more than 10,000 cavalry, united with Zhao Li and Han Wangxin, to build a position in the area from Guangwu to Jinyang in Taiyuan County, in an attempt to block the pace of the Han army's attack.
At this time, it is getting colder and colder.
The soldiers of the Han Dynasty were like ants, huddled in the snow, and the war did not change because of the weather, and Liu Bang launched an attack on Jinyang City as scheduled.
Heavy snow shattered Maudun's wishful thinking.
He thought that with more than 20,000 Hun cavalry and two rebels from the Central Plains, he could stop the Han army coming from afar.
However, the fact is: the Hun cavalry could not exert their due combat effectiveness in the snow, the horses were tired and tired, and it was difficult to move an inch, and everyone was only playing with will and sharpness.
And to play with will and sharpness, the Hun cavalry and Han Wangxin are not opponents at all.
The reason is obvious: the current emperor Liu Bang has personally gone out to seek war, who else dares to fight?
The red flag planted in Liu Bang's convoy is the soul and sun of the Han army, where the red flag floats, the soldiers of the Han army will not be afraid of the cold and the Huns!
The Han army was like a high-spirited snow plow, breaking through the snow in the freezing sky and advancing to break through Jinyang City.
However, soon, the Xiongnu, Han Wangxin, and Zhao Li gathered their troops again, fought and retreated, and swore to intercept the Han army.
Liu Bang looked ahead in the chariot and couldn't help sneering, "These Huns, these rebels, at a glance, are like mounds of earth to block floods, and they are not opponents at all."
So Liu Bang ordered again: the whole army will pursue the victory until the Huns are beaten back to their hometown!
The Han army attacked again, and the Xiongnu were defeated again, retreating again and again, and retreating straight to the territory that originally belonged to Loufu.
However, the Han army still persevered and continued to pursue in the wind and snow.
The wind whistling in the sky; The snow is getting thicker and thicker on the ground; In the northern frontier of China more than 2,000 years ago, this heavy snowfall that has not been encountered for several years has no romance but terror; There is no heroism, only vastness; There is no aesthetics, only brutal fighting!
Two or three out of ten soldiers in the Han army had their fingers frozen to death in the wind and snow.
Liu Bang sacrificed countless fingers in exchange for several big victories, but he was never able to annihilate the living forces of the Xiongnu.
Liu Bang couldn't help but be a little upset in Jinyang City.
Jinyang is not much warmer than outside the city, but Jinyang has tall houses, burning torches, and hot food to warm the stomach.
But the warm Jinyang City did not warm Liu Bang's determination to continue to attack the Xiongnu, and when he learned that Mao Dunshan was in Dai County's county at this time, his heart couldn't help but move, eager to launch a massive beheading operation!
And in order to succeed in decapitation, there must be a premise as a support, and that is intelligence!
At that time, Liu Bang had no satellite positioning, no stealth aircraft, and the only way for him to obtain intelligence was to use the most primitive tool - scouts.
This so-called scout is not a nocturnal and elusive agent like we see in war movies, but an envoy.
This kind of work of envoy and spy, Li Shiqi did the best, without his accurate information, Wei Wangbao could not have been captured by Han Xin.
But Liu Bang's opponent this time was a cunning Maodun, not a stupid little rotten boy like Wei Bao, so he had to be cautious, so he continuously sent more than a dozen envoys to the Xiongnu to collect intelligence.
Playing conspiracy and tricks, Mao Dun is also a veteran.
So in order to confuse Liu Bang, Mao Dun hid all the fat cattle and horses and strong men of the Huns, and every time Liu Bang's envoy came, he could only see the thin cattle and horses and the old and weak Hun people all over the mountain.
So after these envoys came back, they said to Liu Bang in unison, "The Huns, you can attack it"
In order to finally verify the accuracy of the information, Liu Bang decided to send Lou Jing, who had persuaded him to move the capital to Guanzhong and was very resourceful, to send the Xiongnu to reconnoiter again.
However, several days have passed, and Lou Jing still hasn't returned... Liu Bang was anxious, looking up at the sky, the whole world was still white.
At this time, Liu Bang couldn't help but think: Lou Jing shouldn't be trapped by the wind and snow, right?
So Liu Bang decided not to wait for Lou Jing anymore, and immediately set off as a whole army!
320,000 Han Dynasty troops left Jinyang City and headed north... This time, Liu Bang finally has to pay for his serious misjudgment of the situation: 1 Running on a snowy day, the enemy is lax in defense, the problem is that you have repeatedly sent special envoys, and you have already been startling the snake 2; Mao Dun hides his clumsiness, lures you to come, implements a cage, and uses 400,000 cavalry against your 320,000 infantry-based army, which is no less than closing the door and beating the dogs; 3 In the middle of winter, the Han army was exhausted, and the Huns waited for work... In this way, what awaits the Han army in front of it is a huge tomb.
Unless the gods help, otherwise, Liu Bang will not be able to escape death!
But history was still generous enough to give Liu Bang one last chance to save the situation.
When the army crossed the Juzhu Mountain, Lou Jing came back and replied, "Your Majesty, don't attack the Huns"
Liu Bang wondered "why"
Lou Jing: "What I saw in the Huns was indeed the same as the previous envoy, only thin cows, not fat horses; I only see the weak and the old, and I don't see the strong man pulling the strings; I saw the vast grassland, and I didn't see the cavalry coming. But I thought: this is a big conspiracy of the day! When the two countries compete, no matter who they are, they will all compete to show their swords and show their strengths. But Maudun did the opposite, only revealing its shortcomings and hiding its elite, why is this? Mao Dun's intention is obvious, that is, to wait for the rabbit and lure our army to come. As long as the Han army attacks, they will send out ambush soldiers, and the Hun soldiers are unknown, but once they swarm out, the Han army will be more auspicious."
Lou Jing's words are too untimely, the 320,000 troops have all gone on the road, and you are just reporting the news?
Once the sword is drawn, it cannot be sheathed without blood, what can you do if you call me the emperor?
What to do?
You have to do it hard!
Liu Bang was angry, he scolded Lou Jing and said, "You Qi prisoner, but with a soft tongue, I was promoted, and now you want to disturb our army's heart, arrest me"
It stands to reason that those who disturb the hearts of the army should be punished by law.
But Liu Bang only taught people to imprison Lou Jing at the foot of Juzhu Mountain, Guangwu in Taiyuan County.
At this point, Liu Bang had to continue to move forward, and led the Han army to march smoothly into Pingcheng in Yanmen County without hindrance.
In Liu Bang's opinion, he came hunting, looking for the big prey of Mao Dun.
However, in Mao Dun's opinion, he also came to hunt, laying a net of heaven and earth, just waiting for your great prey Emperor Han to fall into the trap...
