Chapter Seventy-Four: Acquisition of Qingzhou Yellow Turban Tuntian
On the edge of Jicheng Mirror Lake on the night of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the lanterns are on at the beginning, people come and go, push and push, it is very lively, the fireworks are in full bloom, the colorful dazzling light, the joy is jubilant, and the lanterns are watched.
The reason why Liu Kun did not put the lantern festival on the street was that it was expected that there would be too many people at the scene, resulting in traffic jams.
Not long after, the lion dance team entered, the lion dance in the Han Dynasty is a rare scene, everyone has not seen it, the lion dance team players step on the stake, compete for the 'dragon ball' process, can be described as wonderful.
According to legend, there are three origins of the lion dance, one is that when Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty, the Dayue clan of the Western Regions paid tribute to the Han Dynasty with a golden male lion, and the envoy threatened that if anyone could tame the lion, they would continue to pay tribute to the Han Dynasty, otherwise they would cut off diplomatic relations.
After the envoy of the Dayue clan left, Emperor Zhang of Han successively selected three people to tame the lion, but they were all unsuccessful. Later, the golden haired lion had a crazy attack, and was beaten to death by the palace people, and the palace people were to escape Emperor Zhang's guilt, so he plucked off the lion skin and dressed up as a golden lion, which caused him to dance.
This move actually deceived the envoys of the Dayue clan, and even Emperor Zhang believed it to be true, and the matter was later spread out of the Han Palace, and the common people believed that the lion dance was a symbol of glory and auspiciousness for the country. So he imitated a lion and performed a lion dance. Since then, the lion dance has been all the rage.
This legend was denied by Liu Kun, judging from the expressions of everyone present, they had never seen a lion dance, as for whether the origin of the Tang Dynasty was true, or the origin of the Northern and Southern Dynasties was true, Liu Kun did not know.
Anyway, from now on, the lion dance of the Three Kingdoms plane is the origin theory of Emperor Liu Kun.
In the middle of the night, nine of Liu Kun's ten lanterns were taken away, all because Liu Kun's topic this year was not difficult.
There are three riddles, three brain teasers, three couplets, and the remaining one is the absolute, lonely and cold window empty widowhood, and no one has come out so far.
It's not that everyone can't come out, but the literati of the Han Dynasty want to be bonely, and they think this couplet is indecent, and they are embarrassed to come out with the next couplet!
Helplessly, Liu Kun withdrew this and prepared to replace it with another one, and ordered the person in charge of the Lantern Festival to bring a brush and rewrite a couplet.
Everyone was looking forward to it, and Hua Qi turned into a way to the clan uncle: "Clan uncle, compare with each other, see who comes first?" ”
Hua Cheng has had enough of Hua Qi's bullying this year, although he is an uncle, he is a side line, and Hua Qi is a descendant of the roots, deeply favored by the old man of the family, Hua Qi's personality is jumpy, the old man doesn't care, what can he do?
Hua Qi saw that the clan uncle ignored him, and said with temptation: "If you go first, I will listen to your orders this year, if I go first, you will lose to me in half a year!" ”
Hua Cheng was impatient to be entangled by his nephew, anyway, everyone is not short of money, if he wins, this kid will be honest for a year, and it is nothing if he loses, so he agrees to come down.
Liu Kun's Shanglian came out -- the sun is in the east, the moon is in the west, and the word "Ming" is generated in the sky.
Hua Qile looked at Hua Cheng, the clan uncle who was pondering, and said loudly: "--The son is on the right, the woman is on the left, and the world is equipped with "good" people!" ”
Hua Cheng said incredulously: "Why did you kid get right so quickly?" ”
Hua Qi shook his head and said, "Read more, read good books!" ”
Hua Cheng snorted and said, "Could it be that you have read more books than me?" ”
Hua Qi pouted and said: "I said that I want to read good books, and the general has an absolute collection, haven't you read it?" ”
Hua Cheng spit out a mouthful of old blood and said angrily: "You are cheating, you can't be counted!" ”
Hua Qi said indifferently: "It doesn't matter if you don't give it, I'll tell the eldest father when I turn around, you rely on my account, and let the eldest father reason with you when the time comes!" "{Father-Grandfather}
Hua Cheng tragically compromised, he has an upright temperament, and he is not very popular with the old man, and if he is sued by Hua Qi again, the situation will be even more embarrassing.
What did you do? Mix with this guy to do things, fortunately, the Sinicization work of R&F City Xianbei has been completed, and he must change his partner this year.
After Hua Qi made Hua Cheng depressed, he stepped forward and said to Liu Kun: "General, on this festive occasion, how can there be no poems, and ask the general to compose a poem to increase your fun!" ”
When the others heard this, they echoed it, and Liu Kunle glanced at Hua Qi, this kid has eyes, and he came to build a ladder for me again.
I was very happy in my heart, but I got a cheap price and said obediently: "You kid, you always give me problems!" ”
Hua Qi said unconvinced: "It may be a problem for others, but for the general, it can be said that it can be captured!" ”
Everyone agreed: "Yes, yes, yes!" ”
Liu Kun pretended to take a few steps and pointed to the people by the lake: "
There are lights without a moon and no entertainment, and a month without lights is not spring.
When spring arrives, people in the world are like jade, and the lamp burns the moon and the moon is like silver.
The streets are full of pearls and green village girls, and the boiling gongs encourage the lion army.
If you don't show Fangzun to laugh, how can you get this good day! ”
Hua Xin opened his mouth and praised: "Good poetry! Good poetry! The general's poem, sure enough, the poem is exquisite, and this poem is a masterpiece! If there is a stone in the world, the general of the chariot will have eight buckets! ”
Even Liu Kun's cheeky face was a little unbearable at the moment when Hua Xin said it, and hurriedly denied it: "Ziyu is too ridiculous, if I have eight buckets, everyone present will be a talent with one stone!" ”
Hua Xin's sycophant skills are not good, as the saying goes, there is no first in literature, there is no second in martial arts, even if the literati are really high, they must be humble and low-key!
If it is known by the people of the world, the world picks a stone, and the general of the chariot and cavalry is eight buckets, it is estimated that there will be more contempt than praise, and such a name is not easy to resist.
At the end of February, after Liu Kun finished holding the first birthday wine for his son, he began to start the plan to conquer Hulu.
According to Liu Kun's explanation, Zhao Yun contacted the leaders of the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou last year, and when these Yellow Turbans were short of food, he sent them some food for emergency relief.
The Yellow Turban in Qingzhou also sent someone to understand the preferential treatment of the Yellow Turban by the Che Cavalry General, so after Zhao Yun began to recruit the Yellow Turban, he didn't need Zhao Yun to clean it up at all, and the Yellow Turban came to vote one after another.
There is no way, they are hungry, they have been waiting for this day for a long time, if it weren't for Zhao Yun to support them with some grain and grass, last winter, many people would have starved to death.
Zhao Yun collected the Yellow Turbans from Qingzhou, sent them to Liaoxi by boat, and set off from Liaoxi to Whip Mountain City, obeying Guan Yu's arrangement.
Dian Wei's attack on Xianbei in the west was launched a month later, and Yang Dalang was ordered to lead 20,000 horses and bring Guan Yu's first batch of captives back to Xianbei Wangcheng to relieve Guan Yu's pressure.
Xianbei people are under Dian Wei, and it is easy to be sinicized, because eighty percent of Dian Wei's subordinates are Xianbei people who have been brainwashed and sinicized.
If it is under Guan Yu's hands, it will be half the effort, because most of Guan Yu's subordinates are Karasuma people, and although the two clans are from the same branch, they now hate each other.
Gan Ning and Tai Shici have a total of 40 large ships, all of which are 50-meter-long building ships, each ship can carry 400 people at a time, and can transport 16,000 manpower for a round trip.
Overload, you say? What should I do if I am not overloaded? Moreover, during this period, who will check the problem of Liu Kun's overload?
After more than two years of development, there is no shortage of civilian officials under Liu Kun, not to mention anything else, Youzhou College has already graduated a group of students, who can come in handy at any time, Tian Chou and Hua Qi are among the best.
