Wu Ying Qi wore linen and filial piety, his eyes were red and swollen from crying, and his old father Wu was sick and died. ↑

The old man was in his seventies and had a tough body, and he had at least ten years to live according to the doctor's instructions to recuperate.

Wu Yingqi blamed himself very much, obviously he had the ability to stop his father from drinking, at such an old age, his organs were weak, and he was most taboo about joy and sorrow, and it was not suitable for drinking, even though the medical workers of this era had not yet fully understood the disadvantages of drinking, at least they knew that drinking would speed up the heartbeat and bring a greater burden to the fragile blood vessels.

It is very dangerous for the elderly in their seventies to drink alcohol, even if the emperor holds a thousand banquets in Chang'an every year, he rarely serves wine, and there used to be a limited supply of low-degree turbid wine, but now it has become a clear liquor with an increase in purity, and it is replaced by the latest low-alcohol fruit wine.

What's worse is that Wu Yingqi's old father didn't drink fruit wine, even if there were only four taels of liquor, it was more terrifying than two bottles of fruit wine, and when the medical workers hurried in the morning, the old man had passed away peacefully for a long time.

According to the ritual system, the Son of Heaven was buried on the seventh day and in July, the princes were buried on the fifth day and in May, and the doctors, scholars, and concubines were buried in three days and in March.

The liehou is a five-day funeral period, and then the coffin must be stopped for five months, and then Wu Yingqi will support the coffin to return to his hometown for burial, and then serve the mourning system for three years, and act as filial piety to the son of man.

The sky gradually darkened, the guests who came and went to mourn became scarcer, and occasionally there were figures hurrying over to the coffin to hold a handful of tears, most of the guests just sighed, and persuaded the filial piety to mourn and change.

Life is rare for seventy years. Confucius once said: "Seventy and do what you want from the heart." ”

In the Han custom, death in his seventies is a happy mourning. The Son of Man does not have to be too sad.

Yuan Chong respectfully saluted the coffin, and the filial son Wu Ying returned the salute. Wu Yingqi's wife Wen returned the salute with difficulty with a six-month-old stomach, and Yuan Chong hurriedly humbled: "Sister-in-law should not overwork when she is pregnant with Liujia, and Brother Wu should be considerate of Mrs. Sister-in-law's body, and it is better to reduce etiquette when it is reduced." ”

"Alas! Virtuous brother! We are our own brothers who don't speak foreign words, and I also want your sister-in-law to go back to recuperate, but our Han family's etiquette is too big, and we have to deal with one or two when we are pregnant, otherwise I don't know what to say about me outside. Wu Yingqi sighed in frustration, he had been in the Hehuang Valley for two years. Wu Yingqi and Yuan Chong have a very good relationship, the children of the Liehou who walked down the mountain in batches from the Longxi Plateau are very united, and Wu Yingqi came back in the first batch to get married and have children to pass on the ancestry, otherwise he would have stayed until this time to come back.

Yuan Chong observed that there were no outsiders in the mourning hall left and right, and whispered: "My family also knows the changes in Liang Zouhou's family, sighing that people have a change of fortune and misfortune, my family's prince means that the funeral is the right thing to do, and the coffin can be replaced by the burial of the Yang Mausoleum, and the three-year system can be used to regain the love of the Mo Xuan Congrong." After all, you were once a cavalry lieutenant of the Northern Army. ”

Wu Yingqi's face changed, and he didn't know much about the resumption of love, but Mo Xuan Congrong definitely knew that Jin Wen Gong was not buried. The Xing soldiers united with their ally Jiang Rong, so Jin Xiang was called the son, and participated in the battle of Kun to ambush the Qin army with fierce clothes. The Qin army was defeated and three generals were captured, and the good of Qin and Jin ended here. The Qin people also lost the capital to dominate.

It is indeed excusable to serve the country with murderous clothes, but the meaning that comes out of Yuan Chong's mouth is very different. Mo Xuan Congrong is not a simple literal meaning, the connotation is that the general Cao Shi intended to raise troops to the north to attack the Xiongnu, in order to establish a great fame that is not easy for generations.

"This ...... I can't be the master, can I? ”

"I'm just informing you that the general's eight hundred miles of expedited sparse music will be sent to Weiyang Palace, and he will probably receive the order of the Emperor in a few days." Yuan Chong got up and hurriedly said goodbye.

A few days later, Weiyang Palace.

Liu Che listened absentmindedly to the music in the greenhouse hall, his mind was all on that little man, the meaning of the emperor's eldest daughter was by no means as simple as the civil and military officials imagined, to October was the period when he ascended the throne for five years, and an emperor who had been in office for five years finally had his first child, so you can imagine what the mind of the Son of Heaven would be.

At the beginning, how many people quietly talked about the emperor's inability to have children, and how many people were discussing the right candidate for the next emperor, now it seems how ridiculous and shameless it is, but if you think about it carefully, it is not surprising at all.

The Han family has been nearly seventy years since the founding of the country, except for the Taizu Gao Emperor Liu Bang who married a child late, the situation is special, Emperor Xiaohui was a son in his teens, and he died at the age of only twenty-three and had four princes.

Emperor Taizongwen was twelve years old and had a female pavilion Taochang princess Liu Yan, at first glance Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty did not have many heirs, but if you consider the four poisoned concubines born to the princess, the children of Taizong's lineage are not particularly few.

Emperor Gaozongjing was fourteen years old and had his eldest son Liu Rong at the age of fifteen, and he had more than a dozen sons before his death, and his daughters who were not famous were not counted, and the three generations of emperors all had children at the age of fifteen.

Fortunately, all the pressure became a thing of the past, and as soon as Wei Zifu entered the palace, he was very angry to give birth to a little princess for him, and the Son of Heaven was very happy.

"Liu Huan, that's my daughter's name."

The Son of Heaven thought about it, his thoughts were not to the narrow palace room in Yongxiang, and the edict of Mrs. Feng arrived, only because Wei Zifu was inconvenient to move into the wide palace room during confinement, Liu Che was very guilty and blamed himself, knowing that Wei Zifu was pregnant, but he didn't expect to place her in a comfortable palace room, Yongxiang is a place where unfavored women and palace maids stay after all.

Just as he was wandering out of the world, the prime minister's low and hoarse voice woke him up.

“…… Your Majesty! The victory of Yinshan shook the Xiongnu tribes, and the Xiongnu sent envoys to Han to ask for the renewal of the alliance, I don't know what Your Majesty means? ”

"What do you think?"

Tian Wei's eyes flashed and he bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the Huns want to confuse us with a delaying tactic, so at this time, we should order the Han army to go north and sweep the Xiongnu borders as soon as possible, forcing the Huns to surrender, but this will not be suitable for the general of the chariot cavalry." ”

"Why?"

"The general of the cavalry has worked hard and made great achievements, and when he returns to Beijing to receive a reward, it is one of them, and if he does not go home for many years, he should reunite with his relatives and relatives, and the cavalry of the Han army has suffered a lot of losses and needs to be replenished as soon as possible. The cavalry of the Han army fought for a year, and the fourth was to take care of the northern and southern armies and the border soldiers of the county. It can't always be a monopoly, and it's not good for the general to have too much credit. ”

The Son of Heaven nodded with satisfaction: "Taiwei Jinyu has good words." I also intend to let the Che Cavalry General return to Beijing to recuperate, my Han family still has several generals to be deployed, so why bother with the Che Cavalry General alone. ”

Prime Minister Dou Ying said: "What Your Majesty said is very true, but the minister thinks that it is not enough to let the general return to Beijing to rest, King Zuo Xian was beaten and has no intention of going south for the time being, but the main force of King Youxian has not been damaged, and the King of Aries and King Lou Fu and other departments are just fetters tribes, and the minister is very worried that King Youxian will hold a grudge and raise troops into Koulongxi County again in the coming year." ”

Shaofu Han Anguo said: "Isn't the prime minister meaning to let the general of the Che Cavalry guard Longxi?" It is reported that the losses in this battle of Longxi County are not clear, and it also depends on recovering losses from the Battle of Yinshan. ”

The ministers carefully avoided the Battle of Yinshan. The Son of Heaven was still hesitant about the reward of the Che Cavalry General, and the Han army that stayed in the Hetao Plain kept sending flying reports, almost every two or three days to exterminate and capture a Xiongnu tribe, the Xiongnu tribe between Yinshan and Yangshan was completely dispersed, and Shuzuoli asked the imperial court to re-establish the Jiuyuan County of Qin in the Hetao Plain.

King Youxian returned from Longxi County with a full load, and when he heard that the Xiongnu tribes on the first line of Yinshan and Yangshan were beaten into a sieve, he almost vomited blood, gritted his teeth and vowed to take revenge, but everyone knew that King Youxian was powerless to fight another war.

The eastern foothills of Yinshan Mountain border Yunzhong County, and it was very convenient for the Han army to enter and exit Yinshan. It is not too troublesome to cross the river to Henan, and if you want to kill the foot of Yin Mountain, you must cross the desert no man's land in the northwest of the Yellow River, which is not a matter at all before, but now the right Xian king is not able to raise troops to the east.

King Youxian led the main force of 120,000 troops of his headquarters to the south to attack Longxi County. This unexpected move achieved brilliant results, and the unsuspecting Longxi Border Army was defeated, after all, the Longxi Border Army was only less than 20,000 people. In non-war times, they were scattered in the counties to work in agriculture, and only in times of emergency would they all be mobilized.

In the event of a surprise attack. There were only 2,000 border troops in Didao City, and the more than 1,000 county soldiers scattered in various counties were vulnerable in front of more than 100,000 Hun cavalry. The right Xian King destroyed the city all the way to the city of Di Dao, and the soldiers were in full swing, and Su Xi of Longxi Taishou fled south in order to protect the retreating villagers, and did not hesitate to resist the 120,000 Hun army with the county soldiers who retreated into the city of Di Dao.

The disparity in troops, lack of preparation, and the loss of morale naturally turned out to be a big defeat, the Han army killed 2,000 on the spot, 8,000 wounded, the county Taishou Su Xi was injured, the captain was seriously injured, the county was killed in the battle, the Huns actually lost more than 3,000 lives in this battle to the death, and there were as many as six or seven thousand wounded, and the angry Youxian King did not eat for several days.

The defeated army of the Han army defended the city of Didao, relying on the Huns who were not good at attacking the city, and held the city wall for three months.

Subsequently, the 120,000 chariots of the southern army entered Longxi County, and the soldiers of the southern army who had just retreated from the battlefield of Yanmen County were also exhausted, and they re-entered the battlefield after resting for less than a month, fortunately, the momentum of the right Xianwang on the opposite side was also gradually declining, and the siege of Di Dao for three months did not destroy morale, and in the face of the southern army that came to the rescue was very wise to retreat, the unwilling Xiongnu troops tentatively launched an attack on the southern army, and were easily blocked by the southern army, and by the way, they also killed hundreds of careless Hun cavalry.

A small victory changed the tide of the war, the cavalry of the northern army who came later tried to copy the back road of the right Xian Wang, and fought a battle of annihilation between Longxi and Hexi, the right Xian Wang saw that the situation was not good and ran to the grassland with people, and the two armies of the north and south chased all the way into the Hexi corridor, forcing the Youxian Wang to abandon a lot of looted property and Han people.

After this battle, he barely recovered the losses of Longxi, and Su Xi, the Taishou of Longxi and the Marquis of Jiangyang, was careless and careless, and was dismissed from office and dismissed from office.

"Longxi County has been beaten into a mess, is it appropriate to let the general of the Che Cavalry go?"

The Son of Heaven pondered for a long time: "Order the Che Cai General to rest in Chang'an City until next year, I believe that the Che Cai General's governance skills should have a way to govern Longxi County, as long as the border county can be stabilized, I will do my best to support him." ”

Prime Minister Dou Ying suddenly asked: "Then the reward of the general of the chariot cavalry ......" (to be continued, please search, the novel is better and faster!)
