“…… King Wen taught the boy to have something right: no Yi wine; Yue Shu country: Drink only worship, and the virtue will not be drunk. However, it is said that my Mindi boy only loves the soil and things, and he is heartbroken. Cong listens to the Yi training of the ancestors, the smaller the great virtue......"

With the disposition of the rebellion largely over, the last ceremonies are taking place in the palace.

The Queen Mother sat on the main seat, and the ministers who attended the banquet that night stood in the hall. Guo Kang was wearing a commander's helmet and was reciting the "Wine Message" to everyone.

When he had finished, he retreated. The Queen Mother said loudly: "It's not that I don't let you drink, and the celebration banquet is a normal thing." But you're all getting drunk together, what if something happens? This time I was lucky, I didn't make a big fuss, and next time I encountered a tricky enemy, it would be hard to say. ”

"We have to have a plan to make sure that there are reliable people on duty at all times, and that we can't hold each other back and we can't leave opportunities for those who are waiting. You guys should study how to arrange the best arrangement. In any case, you can't drink as much as you did this time. ”

Everyone responded one after another, saying that in the future, they should follow the teachings of the sages and stop drinking too much. This brief ceremony was also quickly over.

Since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, wars have become more and more intense, and the demand for the art of war has also grown, but before the Han Dynasty, there was no systematic collation of military writings. At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, Gaozu sent Han Xin to personally preside over the collection of various military books, summarize and compile, and form a complete system for the first time, and it has been used. By the time of the Three Kingdoms, Zhuge Liang was good at training soldiers, and the military system he used was adopted by the Jin Dynasty, and various forces imitated it until the Tang Dynasty. At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, Li Jing improved on the basis of Zhuge Liang's art of war, and this system had an impact until the Yuan Dynasty.

After Dou Jiande was killed, his old subordinates gathered and prepared to resist, so they decided to raise the banner of the Liu clan. At first, they found Dou Jiande's general Liu Ya, but Liu Ya was unwilling to accept it and was killed by everyone, and then found another old general, Liu Heimin. Liu Heimin accepted the proposal and was thus elected as the leader.

Of course, there's nothing to be ashamed of. In war, there is only the first, so everyone will always converge and develop. The excellent system will always be used. This is also where the art of war is different from some other studies.

It's just that the people of the Central Plains understand this, but the Europeans don't. The level of illiteracy here is so high that it is unbearable, and most of the people are even blind to the history of the local area two generations ago, let alone such a cold thing. Therefore, for a long time, there was no influence, that is, it was regarded as a tradition internally, and it was spread like this.

"It's a lot, indeed." Guo Kang thought about it and said.

The Tang army was numerous, and the military formation stretched for more than ten miles. Liu Heimin had few people, and in order to prevent being outflanked, he tried to widen the front as much as possible, and actually reduced the depth to a single line, and faced the battle with his back against the river embankment. At the beginning of the war, the Tang army took advantage of the favorable wind direction and began to attack, but it was unable to break through this crazy formation. After a stalemate for a while, the wind reversed and blew towards the Tang army, Liu Heimin's troops took the opportunity to counterattack, the Tang army was defeated, Li Shentong fled, and the soldiers lost two-thirds of their ordnance.

Rarely in history have there been such outrageous battles. Like the famous "thin red line" in later generations, it was actually the hype of the times, and the two sides did not fight. This kind of real confrontation is really too rare.

After Tang, the Golden Dao was gradually not as famous as before, but everyone still has memories of it. When the Purple Horde was founded, it claimed that the Mao was wood, and the sword was iron. The ancestors of the Khan Chamber took the Mongolian pronunciation of "Temujin" as the name, which also means "Mao Jin Dao". They came from the land of Qin to claim the throne of the Great Qin Kingdom, conform to the ancient prophecy, and revitalize the royal road in the world.

It can be said that every classic military book is the result of a genius who has been seen once in hundreds of years in history, on the basis of his predecessors. It would be a waste not to refer to it.

"You may think you're young and promising, and you're attractive." Tuohuan said: "I guess, grandma called you to read it today, originally wanting you to show it." Take this opportunity to show you the outfit and the saber before you travel. ”

Although Hou Ziguang was quickly suppressed by Shi Hu's troops, the rebellions under the banner of Buddhism still broke out one after another, and the legend of this "Great Qin State" was repeatedly played. Until the Northern Wei Dynasty, there was also a person named Liu Jinghui, who was supported by everyone to rebel as a moonlight boy. The location is not limited to the Qin land in Guanzhong, but has spread to the Hebei region. During this period, there were similar rumors in Youzhou and Jizhou.

Along the way, Dehuan seemed very happy.

"What is this for?" Guo Kang asked curiously.

"The female officials around my grandmother all think that you are very handsome just now, reciting the edict to a group of high-ranking officials and dignitaries." He happily said to Guo Kang: "I see, there is another little girl who is going to miss the spring of nostalgia these days - but don't tell my sister." ”

After that, Guo Kang was ready to leave. However, when he arrived at the door, Tuohuan stopped him and told him to go to the barracks together.

Now, the imperial court has begun to organize the legion, Guo Kang was appointed as a commander because of his outstanding performance in the previous rebellion, and today's clothes are like this. However, Guo Kang himself also felt that this publicity was too much.

Moreover, at the time of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the prophecy of the golden sword was also combined with Buddhism.

In classical times, the commander of the corps was for a long time the nominal position of the senators and governors, and the actual command was the adjutant general of the corps and six generals. Underneath them were various military officials who performed specific duties, and various centurions. However, this system is too old, and for a long time, the military system and official titles have often changed back and forth, and there have been situations where the name is not worthy of the name, and even the establishment is upside down. And after 1204, it is estimated that these things will not be needed in the Eastern Romans......

Guo Kang didn't know what they thought at the time, but since they had formed a habit, it would be like that.

"That's ......" Guo Kang actually didn't quite understand, but he didn't know what to say.

Therefore, Guo Kangcai felt that his official position had been promoted too quickly, and he was worried that he would destroy the habits that everyone had defaulted to in the past and make others unacceptable. But Tohwan and Theodora say that this was not his duty in the first battle—his first battle was not in Egypt, but in Dadu. This position, which was officially awarded after examining his record and performance, is equivalent to having won a key battle and been promoted, which will naturally be higher than when his father first fought in the war. Everyone else knows about it, so don't worry about anything.

At that time, the people may have some unrealistic illusions about the Great Qin State, thinking that everyone is Qin and can probably help each other. However, the situation is actually similar in various regions. At this time, the Great Qin Kingdom itself is also being ravaged by barbarians......

"What am I talking about?" Guo Kang hurriedly said no: "And it's just a study, what's all there to fuss about." ”

On the side of the Purple Horde, the golden knife had a special meaning. It is said that as early as the reign of Wang Mang, there was a proverb of "Mao Jin Dao", thinking that the Liu family was about to be revived. After the fall of the Eastern Han Dynasty, in the long-term division and war, such proverbs emerged in endlessly. Whether it is an ambitious official or a common man, he likes to use it as a call.

"He's going to be by what he found out." Tuohuan shook his head: "Do you dare to believe it?" Over the years, there have been hundreds of people in the Night's Watch Warband, who exist on the roster, receive benefits every day, and even share the exploits of their teammates and get the opportunity to be promoted, but after careful inspection, they have never been out of the capital in their lives. ”

However, given the populations of both sides, the war on the European side was hardly needed on such a large scale. Most of the legions, the generals and colonels are concurrently served by the commanders. The number of legions is also much less.

But there are two sides to the story, and the rapid spread of Buddhism has also provided a new theoretical basis for those who want to rebel. Soon, some people learned to use the Buddhist scriptures to organize rebellions more efficiently. Moreover, this theory is also quickly integrated with local traditions.

"It should be an exile." Tuhuan looked at it and replied, "We have exiled more than a thousand families to Novgorod this time. Father Khan is gracious and let them go after the New Year, and now it is time to go. ”

Until the Sui and Tang dynasties, such rumors often appeared. In the last years of the Sui Dynasty, although there were many rumors about the Li family, the golden sword prophecy was still popular. At that time, there was also a nursery rhyme that said, "Under the poplar tree, the water will flow if it is decided, and it will drain if it is not decided", which is almost straightforward.

Along the way, the people in the city are busy. It seems that order has completely returned to normal. Still, in one street, there was a large crowd of people, young and old, howling loudly.

The commander of the regiment is already considered a high-ranking position, and it corresponds to the commander of the local war regiment. His position is much higher than that of his other partners, and even higher than that of his father-in-law and uncles.

And the influence of the golden sword has touched the top of the dynasty. After Nanqi replaced Liu Song, Xiao Daocheng once used a knife with gold ornaments to eat melons, and the minister immediately advised that the saying of golden knives was rife inside and outside the court, and this taboo should not be touched. Xiao Daocheng was very worried, and finally decided to replace all the gold-handled utensils in the palace.

This kind of rumor has had an impact on the Hu people. When Liu Yuan, a Hun soldier, raised his troops, he used it to propagate it everywhere. Until the end of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Jihu Liu Lisheng became self-reliant, and he was also spreading the prophecy of the golden knife, claiming to revive the Han Dynasty.

In fact, the real establishment of the Purple Horde was based on Li Weigong's military law, and then gradually changed according to local conditions and the experience of several generations. For example, their corps commander and six generals correspond to the commanders of the Chinese army, the left and right Yu Hou armies, and the left and right chamber four armies under the Tang Dynasty's seven-army system, which is actually a change of Roman name......

And the next classic system was the system compiled by Qi Jiguang in the middle and late Ming Dynasty - this set of things was used until modern times, and was replaced by Western art of war.

Of course, the Purple Horde's military strength was far less abundant than that of the Tang Dynasty. The size of the regiment is also not consistent. The larger corps can be strengthened to two thousand troops under each general, and the actual number can reach more than two thousand. In the war against Hungary that year, the army led by Basil III himself had 15,000 soldiers, plus the Serbian cavalry who rushed to help, the total strength reached 20,000.

The sword, like the rest of the gown accessories, was to be carried in important ceremonies, but Theodora insisted that he hang it every day, as if he had to show off so that the whole city would know about it. However, Guo Kang is indeed not a person who likes to show off, and when she doesn't care about it, she doesn't want to be so public.

Judging by the results, this slogan is also really useful. Liu Heimin's subordinates have always been small in number, but their morale is surprisingly high. The Tang army of more than 2,000 people could not defeat his more than 100 subordinates. After the incident became big, Li Yuan immediately sent people to suppress it, but he was worried that Li Shimin's merit was too high, so he deliberately did not let him go, and mobilized the nearby general Li Shentong and others to meet the enemy.

Buddhism was originally a "Hu religion", and its status was not very high. The earliest official respect was in the Later Zhao period. Probably because he was also a Hu person from Central Asia, the Shi Zhao regime favored Buddhism, and Buddhist teachings were also conducive to allowing the people to anesthetize themselves in troubled times.

At that time, the Buddhist scripture "Buddha Says Shen Rijing" was very popular. The scriptures say that after the Buddha attained Nirvana for a thousand years, he was worried that the Dharma in the world would be cut off, so he sent the moonlight boy to Qin to be the holy king and spread Taoism. When Shi Hu was in power, Hou Ziguang, a native of Guanzhong, gathered people to rebel, claiming to be the prince of the Buddha, from the Great Qin State, and wanted to go to Qin to claim the king.

"This time, there are dozens of people who were killed just because of greed and collusion with traitors, trying to sit back and watch the success or failure. The Criminal Department believes that those who bribe and pretend to be leading the military should be executed in accordance with military law and their families should be exiled; Those who evaded the expedition were given thirty-seven sticks and sent to the Rus' region. Therefore, there are a lot of people to be exiled, and there will be more after this batch. ”

In this way, Guo Kang could only agree. However, after leaving the palace, he still put away the bells and whistles of the helmet and saber, and felt that he would not need it later.

When the saber was given to him, he didn't react much, and was coerced by Theodora to accept it. After going back, Guo Ponu was really furious, and he had to trouble Diodora every day, and even delayed the training of soldiers. Guo Kang had no choice but to hide as much as possible.

The Book of Jin says that he changed his surname to Li, while the Zizhi Tongjian says that he claims to be surnamed Liu. However, judging from the situation at the time, Liu is more likely, and the surname Li seems to be the Tang Dynasty's own statement. Because before and after this person, there were a large number of Shamen rebellions who claimed to be surnamed Liu. Obviously, it was they who stitched together the "savior" of Buddhism and the revival of the local Liu family.

The names of the officers of the Purple Horde were also modeled after the Roman era in order to increase their legitimacy. Many military positions and even fictitious positions have been used.

"It's long overdue. We were too lenient before, and this can happen under our noses. Guo Kang said helplessly.

"yes, I don't know if there's any other good way......" Tuhuan also nodded.
