There have been quite a few precedents for the totems representing the national body and the totems used by the army to choose different patterns. The so-called national body actually refers to the representative of the royal family, and it is also the so-called royal flag. There is a routine in the choice of the military flag, that is, the more meaningful totem is chosen, the better, and the "beast" on that totem must be extremely fierce, tenacious, and tenacious.

There are too many examples of choosing the Xuanniao as the military flag pattern, the first to choose the Xuanniao is the Shang Dynasty, the Qin State is still using the Xuanniao totem, and the Han army also chooses the Xuanniao, that is, the two currently use the Xuanniao.

Xuanniao is naturally a kind of fantasy product, according to the record of the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", Xuanniao four-winged birds, with pale yellow feathers, like to eat eagle meat, violent sex, and live in Pingdingshan. In fact, the initial image of the Xuanyao resembled a swallow, and later, with the continuous development and integration of the clan and tribe, the Xuanniao gradually evolved into a phoenix with a cockscomb, a crane's foot and a peacock's tail. To put it bluntly, the evolution of totems is to conquer or destroy one tribe after another in continuous conquest, and then select the desired totem for "blending".

"It's a phoenix." Lu Zhe looked down at Lu Yi, the eldest son who spoke.

Lu Yi is the eldest son, he is five years old this year, he looks like a tiger, and his face is very similar to Lu Zhe. His brother Lu Qixu is six years old, but his face resembles his mother Wei Wen.

"What is a Phoenix?" Lu Yi is now curious about everything.

Lu Zhe was stunned for a moment: "Phoenix? That's a kind of ...... "Then there is a story about the phoenix, and he talks about the description of the afterlife, which is not very different from the story about the phoenix now."

Compared to Lu Yi, who was curious about everything, Lu Qi was a silent child, and now both of them were paying attention to listening to Lu Zhe telling the story about the phoenix, and at the same time staring at the big flag at the head of the city with wide eyes.

The choice of the totem of birds is indeed the orthodoxy of contemporary times, if it is according to the words used on the Internet in later generations, the choice of the totem of birds is the king, and the choice of others is heresy.

In fact, until the dynasties before the "I Qing Dynasty", the dragon has never been the totem of the Chinese nation. Of course, this is not to say that the dragon totem did not appear, it can be verified that the dragon totem appeared more than 6,000 years ago, but it has always represented a bad meaning, and a totem called "turtle" represents justice......

In the book "Chinese Mythology", in the stage from the opening of the world to the control of the water by Dayu, there are seven turtle stories, and the turtles are all good and protect human beings. There are seventeen dragons, of which fifteen dragons are evil, the other is subdued by the turtle, change the evil from the good, and the other is to help the Yellow Emperor to destroy the dragon of Chiyou, where it goes, there is a big flood, so after the destruction of Chiyou, the Yellow Emperor called him to the south. This reflects that since ancient times, the Chinese people have not used dragons as protective gods.

Why did Lu Zhe take back the dragon as the totem of the national body? Almost because the dragon is not very well evaluated among the people, if there is no well-educated person to tell him the views of his ancestors and contemporaries on the dragon, he really will not know that the dragon represents evil in the ancient pre-Qin period, and it is not the totem of the mainstream worship of the Chinese ethnic group.

Lu Zhe, who received modern information and education, was really ruined at that time, and he couldn't believe that it was true.

Here Lu Zhe was explaining the story about the phoenix to his two sons, and Tian Jian at the head of the city looked at them from a distance with a cloudy face.

The Han army destroyed the Qi army of Hengshan County in a very short time and occupied the whole county, and then soon the troops pointed directly at Guangyang County and captured the city one after another almost effortlessly along the way. Tian Jian would never have thought that the towering walls of Zhuoxian County had frightened the Han army, nor would he have thought that the defenders of Zhuoxian County were stronger than the Qi army in other places, and he didn't know why.

Zhuoxian has been besieged for more than ten days, and Tian Jian has not known the news of the outbreak of the plague in Linzi since then, and naturally he does not know that the Han army has fallen into a state of offensive stagnation because of the interruption of the sea transportation line, and there will be no major action until the transportation capacity is increased to keep up with the consumption of the war.

So far, Tian Jian has been waiting for news from Tian Jiao's side, hoping to hear some good news before the Han army launches a siege. However, it seems to be a little difficult for him to hear any good news, not to mention that Tian Jiao is in a dilemma, the Han army uses cavalry on a large scale to blockade, and the news between Zhuoxian and the outside world has long been interrupted.

The war is going on to this point, as long as it is not a sober person, the Qi country has no ability to resist, Tian Jian of course knows that the Han army can face a million Qi troops all the way over, then it will be able to crush Zhuoxian into powder, but he thinks that it is not completely hopeless, his hope lies in Tian Jiao's ability to come to the aid with the Hun army, which is also the reason why he can still persist in his belief.

However, as time passed, especially when Lu Zhe sent someone to send a letter of surrender, in which he told Tian Jian about the situation on the side of Tian Jiao and the Xiongnu, the belief in Tian Jian's heart was about to collapse.

At first, Tian Jian naturally did not believe that Tian Jiao had been annexed to the Han State, nor did he believe that the Xiongnu had already retreated to the south of the fertile field, but later Lu Zhe sent Tian Jian's personal seal and Tian Jiao's personal letter, which made it impossible for him not to believe it.

Tian Jian has been thinking about a question recently, is it a humiliating surrender? Or muster up the courage to show the indomitable spirit of the Tian royal family and resist without any dawn of victory. His current psychological contradictions are extremely similar to Tian Dan, who was surrounded in Linzi City at that time, but Tian Dan decided to die as a king after realizing that there was no hope at the beginning, in order to save some of the face or honor that the Tian royal family had once surrendered without a fight.

So far, he has not made up his mind to come up with an idea, it is not Tian Jian's mother-in-law, he just can't believe and don't want to believe that Qi Guo is really hopeless, it can be said that he will not die if he does not see the Yellow River, and it can also be said that he will not shed tears if he does not see the coffin.

"Han doesn't have a totem yet, it's really an incredible country." Tian Jian didn't see any totem-related flags erected by the Han army outside the city, only some simple red "Han" flags on a black background.

Tian Jian said that the Han Kingdom is incredible, there are too many meanings, he doesn't understand how the Han Kingdom rose like this, and he can't figure out how Lu Zhe controls the development of the country, and then how Lu Zhe builds the army.

The rise of a country is not so simple, let alone pure military strength, after all, no matter how strong the army is, it must have the corresponding national strength to provide materials, otherwise no matter how strong the army is, it can still gnaw grass and fight? Oh, even if you can gnaw grass to satisfy your hunger and fight, but how can the weapon come from? It can be like that as an arm, but it is also like that as a national army, it's just a joke!

Lu Zhe was naturally looking at the city head from afar, from his position he could only see a vague figure, he would come to watch the Zhuoxian city wall naturally for a reason, Linzi City was because of the siege of a large number of people in the city starved to death, died of disease, and as a result, the plague broke out, and now the Han army is besieging Zhuo County again, do you want to besiege Zhuo County like besieging Linzi City?

What kind of siege method did the Han army use when they besieged Linzi City? It's that no one is released out of the city, and the result is that the people in Linzi City can't go out of the city to cut wood, and they can't cook the rice after burning all the things that can be burned in the city. In addition, because the Han army did not let Linzicheng go out of the city alone, the water source in the city was naturally unable to be obtained from outside the city, and the tragedy occurred.

The city of Zhuoxian seems to be a material transfer station to Linzi in the north? That means that Zhuo County will not be short of grain, at least in the short term. However, the city of Zhuoxian is the same as Linzi, and it should be said that the city is the same now, and it is necessary to obtain firewood and water from outside the city.

"A total siege?" Lu Zhe was worried that Zhuoxian County would become the next outbreak of plague in Linzi.

Sima Xin also fell into a long thought when he heard Lu Zhe's low whisper, Tian Jian is a grasshopper that is jumping, how can he jump at that height, it will definitely not change the outcome of the death of the Qi Kingdom. He is no longer thinking about the problem from a military point of view, if he wants to get the long-term peace and stability of the Xinguang District, Han Guoguang is not a way to show Huairou's side, and he must add appropriate iron and blood. Therefore, he thinks that there can be no argument about Zhuo County, and there is no need to persuade Tian Jian to surrender, and it should be eliminated in the bloodiest manner. Of course, his thoughts were just thinking about it in his heart.

Lu Zhe thought clearly, Zhuoxian still did not carry out a comprehensive siege, and could appropriately let the people in the city go out of the city to cut wood and pull water, but there were certain restrictions, not only to ensure that there was firewood in the city for cooking and drinking, but also not to allow the firewood and water sources in the city to be overstored.

It is very appropriate to use the dry bones in the mound to describe Tian Jian who is unwilling to surrender, Qi Guo can't see hope, and so many Tian clan relatives have surrendered and surrendered one after another, don't expect that there are still many loyal ministers and righteous people who are willing to follow Tian Jian all the way to the black.

There were many people who secretly went out of Zhuo County to surrender to the Han army, and Tian Jian once did something to pull people to the city wall to cut off their heads in order to prevent anyone from going out of the city again. It is difficult to say whether the bloody killing had any effect, but it made the people of the Han Kingdom, including Lu Zhe, think that at least Tian Jian, who is the king of Xinqi, has a strong will to resist, and they also think that Tian Jian is estimated to be a backbone figure in the style of Tian Dan.

Tian Jian wants to die to the end? Lu Zhe himself couldn't leave the national capital Nanling for too long, and if he wanted to go back to the forbidden army, he naturally had to go south and go home.

There is a good reason for Lu Zhe to return to Nanling, he needs to go back to personally restore the transportation from the south to the north, the sooner the recovery is the better, if there is no recovery for a long time, the trouble on the side of Guangyang County is nothing, but the relief of work in so many places and the war against the Xiongnu and other Hu people will become a big problem, and it is a very big trouble!
