Chapter 257: The World Is Boiling, Thick and Colorful [Asking for Votes]
In Chang'an, Emperor Liu Che issued three edicts in succession, telling the people that the northwest won a great victory.
The first edict said: The champion Hou Huo went to the Han army to conquer Hexi, and now he has broken the Xiongnu army of more than 200,000.
The Xiongnu used more than 120,000 elites in the two wars, and the exact figure is more than 126,000. With the auxiliaries, it is only nearly 200,000.
This is an imaginary number of official newspapers.
In addition, the notice also listed 12 merits of the champion Hou, praising his youth and heroism, which can be an example for the generals of the world.
The length of the article was transcribed by local officials, and it took half an hour.
During this period, there were a lot of beautiful words, and 7,100 households were sealed.
There is also a reward for Wei Qing.
You must know that the Xiongnu originally sent a group of men and horses into the northeast of the Han Territory, trying to attack the Han from the coast, but later Wei Qing saw through it as just a false shot.
But this group of men and horses was then 'worried' by Wei Qing, who took over the border guard, and sent troops to ambush them on the way back to the Xiongnu.
Nearly 5,000 enemies were annihilated, which was also quite a remarkable record.
The emperor sent an edict to the world, and also informed the Han that this campaign would subdue the countries of the Western Regions, and would expand the land of the four counties in the northwest and open the Western Regions trade route.
To encourage the people to expand the border, measures such as land grants and tax reductions will be implemented.
At the beginning of May, spring flowers bloomed.
In the Weiyang Palace in Chang'an, the emperor was proud of the spring breeze, and he had been smiling on his face for several days.
Not only has the reward for Huo Qubing been sent to the northwest border pass, but the princess Liu Qing, who stayed in Chang'an, has many rewards.
Wives are expensive by their husbands, and princesses are no exception.
Even the servants of the Champion Hou Mansion, Huo Quai's war horse Jin'an have been rewarded.
It can be seen that the emperor's joy is seen.
Liu Che raised his eyes in Weiyang Palace and looked north, after this battle, how much gas did the Huns have left?
In the past few days, the national fortunes of the Han Dynasty have become more and more magnificent and prosperous.
As the emperor, Liu Che felt the growth of the country's fortunes the most.
The benefits brought to him are also beyond the imagination of outsiders.
Liu Che has decided to wait for Huo Qu's illness to come back, and the Western Regions will be officially incorporated into the Han Dynasty, and he will follow the example of the first emperor, climb Mount Tai to seal Zen, perform the great gift of the country, tell the ancestors of heaven and earth, and promote the national fortune to improve again!
In the past year, Han has changed dramatically.
In addition to the Western Regions, Siyi has also been swept away, and the northeast is also expanding its borders.
Now we have the Western Regions.
The emperor seems to have seen a new situation for the future strong man.
Liu Che has always been an ambitious emperor.
When he ascended the throne, he wanted to catch up with and surpass the emperors of previous dynasties.
Huo Qubing has been determined to fight in the south and north in the past year, so that the emperor's confidence and ambition have increased.
He had begun to think of something new.
The two generals of the country under his command are in the same era, and even he is glad for it.
Wei Qing fought in battle, and was able to bring the 'righteousness' in the art of war to the extreme, and was an example of commanding a large corps in combat.
Compared with Huo Quai, Wei Qing's use of troops is more stable, immobile like a mountain, and it is suitable for the world.
Huo Quai's soldiers are in harmony, and they are like thunder. Good at running and roundabout, taking the blitzkrieg to the extreme.
And it does not respect the ancient law, and often has a miraculous stroke of genius, which breaks the enemy with strange schemes, making people unguardable.
The most important thing is Huo Quai's way of fighting, which can achieve the greatest victory with the least consumption.
Liu Che's follow-up appointment of Wei Qing and Huo Quai's illness planned to attack and defend, stabilize the world internally, and establish immortal achievements externally.
And fighting a war requires huge funds and national support.
Liu Che is a little dissatisfied with the current ability of the big farmer to make money and govern taxes, and is already considering letting a newcomer take over and serve the future military affairs.
Huo Qubing won a great victory against the Xiongnu in the northwest, and as soon as the emperor's notice came out, all parts of the world rejoiced.
But people are more concerned about other aspects.
"Tell the people that a captain under the command of the champion Hou was awarded the title of Cong Hou because of his meritorious service in the battle with him, breaking the Western Regions domain."
"That captain is called Zhao Ponu, not only the marquis, but also given the general title, the world has been talking about it these days, who doesn't know?"
Focus on following the champion Hou to fight, and there is hope for the marquis.
This news made many people excited.
In life, all you want is glory and wealth, and you will leave a name in history, and there are very few people who do not touch either except for the saint who is a salted fish lying flat.
Even some strong people who are hidden in the world are also moved, conquering foreign clans and sealing marquis, leaving fame and wealth, and they can include both at one time.
This victory of the Huns made the world boil, and its impact will last for a long time.
This is the second time since ancient times that such a great victory has been won in a foreign war.
It was the first time that such a large border area of the Western Regions was incorporated into the Han Dynasty.
The biggest impact of this battle was the northwest frontier, and the Xiongnu would not dare to attack again.
The situation between the Han and the Xiongnu was reversed, and the Han would become the main attacker.
It was the turn of the Huns to be passively defensive.
Previously, although the Xiongnu were defeated by Wei Qing and Huo Qubing several times.
But it is not a shift from defense to offense in the general situation.
After this battle in the northwest, the Xiongnu really lost the initiative, and their national strength and military strength were all suppressed by the Han.
In the palace of the main hall of Taixue, Dong Zhongshu said: "I entered the palace this morning to discuss matters, and I have already advised that after Your Majesty establishes a new county, he will reduce the military service of Longxi, Beidi, and Shangjun, so that the burden of conscription on the people will be eased.
This is for the benefit of all people, and the livelihood of my Han will get the best cultivation.
If every war can benefit the people, I will not hesitate to be famous, and I am willing to drive Huo Hou's horse, wave the flag and shout for him, and raise money and food. ”
Dong Zhongshu's face was slightly flushed and emotional.
Taichang Zhou Ping glanced at Dong Zhongshu on the side, it was you who opposed the champion Hou to fight at the beginning, we listened to the master's words, and then tried to stop it.
Now you turn around and bury us in a pit and go ashore yourself.
Zhou Ping also glanced at the two close disciples behind Dong Zhongshu, one was Bai Yu and the other was Sima Qian.
The reaction of the two was one joyful and the other quiet.
Recently, Sima Qian's cultivation has also made a breakthrough, which has also caused a lot of movement in Chang'an.
Except for the young champion Hou, who broke four realms in a year.
Today's younger generation, Sima Qian, who inherited his father's business and entered the palace to repair history, is in the limelight.
And the battle of Hexi has also left many records in many historical books in later generations. At present, Sima Qian also wrote and left a piece of content: "In the early spring of the first year of Yuanjia, the hussar general Huo Qu was sick and commanded ten thousand horses out of Longxi, begging the Huns, and passing through the Yanzhi Mountains for more than a thousand miles. In half a month, he attacked the Xiongnu again, capturing tens of thousands of captives. So that the Huns did not dare to attack from now on. ”
This is a stroke that will be left to future generations.
A country rejoices, a country mourns!
At this time, the Huns were almost mournful.
Lost the fertile soil between the Qilian Mountains and the Yanzhi Mountains, as well as the rich land of the two great tribes of the Hutu Department and the Hun Evil Department.
Some of the best pastures of the Western Xiongnu have been lost, and they can no longer support so many tribes in the past.
The grassland is bitter and cold in winter, and not everyone has practice, and without these places, the herding of horses, cattle and sheep, and the population will be sharply reduced. The Western Xiongnu no longer dared to claim to be strong.
It even needed to be relocated on a large scale and incorporated into the Xiongnu army and became an inferior people.
The Western Xiongnu have never been the soldiers and horses of the Xiongnu headquarters, and the steppe tribes of the foreign tribes were merged into the Xiongnu, and now they are going to migrate into the direct jurisdiction of the Xiongnu royal court, completely losing their foundation.
Secretly, there are still many tribes who have the urge to join the Han, at least they can move to a more suitable place to live, eat and clothe themselves.
At this time, the Great Shaman was carried back to the royal court.
In the tabernacle, Izhi slanted, the king of chieftains. There are also generals such as Zhu Gu and Feng Ti who returned with them, and everyone was injured.
The great shaman's face was not bloody, and his eyes were a little unable to open.
As he was dying, he raised his withered hand and handed two things to Yi Zhixi:
"This is the person I met when I entered the Western Regions with the Valley of the Devil who came to us many years ago.
He also brought three people with me......"
The great shaman took a big breath and choked up: "Those three people are from a certain country south of the Western Regions, and they are called the Six Throne Masters......
If we cooperate with them, we can jointly attack the Han ...... in the north and the south Otherwise, the Han people will become stronger and stronger...... They'll use this to get in touch with big orders......"
"And ...... I don't have a chance to use this ancestral blade of the Clan. ”
The Great Shaman's voice was staccato and unstoppable: "The shaman's legacy is immortal...... After I die, the three souls in my body will be extinguished, but a little core of the soul can pass on part of the shaman's practice.
The next shaman can't wait to absorb my lineage, and I can feel it, go to him, and he will continue to assist Da Dan Yu ......
In addition, borage is ...... Borage, rightly, this world is so big that it is beyond our imagination.
If we can't do it, let us retreat, retreat...... Borage and the shamanic gods...... Remains ......"
The Great Shaman stopped abruptly in one breath and closed his eyes.
His last words were unclear.
Yi Zhixian and the others didn't understand, what does borage have to do with the god of shamans?
Yi Zhi took the ancestral bone blade and a bowl-like artifact from the great shaman's hand.
I could see the inner wall of the round bowl, full of strange words, which Yi Zhixian had never seen before.
The person the great shaman said before he died was the 'Son'.
He secretly contacted the Xiongnu many years ago and provided many conveniences to the Xiongnu's attack on Han.
Listening to the meaning of the great shaman, he saw Zi in the Western Regions, and Zi also introduced him to other people, who were from the south of the Western Regions.
The great shaman died in front of him, and Yi Zhixian couldn't help but feel like the mountains and rivers were exhausted.
The great shaman died, the Western Xiongnu were defeated, and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were severely damaged.
"Where are the borage...... Izhi asked in a deep voice.
What does it mean for the great shaman to associate the borage with the shaman god before he died?
"Go all out to find the new shaman who will receive his soul after the great shaman dies." Yi Zhi said to the other king's tent shamans who followed the Great Shaman.
The Northwest Lands.
The Dunhuang camp was being rebuilt, and Huo Qubing moved to the Yumen camp to live temporarily.
The scenery around this area is very good, and places such as the crescent moon spring, which later became famous in the world, are nearby.
After defeating the Xiongnu, the royal families of the Western Regions countries are coming to visit in turn.
At noon, Huo Quzhi sat by a small lake, with a gentle breeze and pleasant scenery.
At this time, the mood is small and sunny, and there is nothing to do with the immortals, which is quite a bit comfortable in the busy.
Standing behind him is Bai Nanyu, who is dressed in a moonlight Han skirt, with a slender figure and a posture of the country.
On the other side is the big girl bear three.
The two stood together, in stark contrast. Looking back, a man and a woman.
"General, the captives of the Western Regions are sent back to Chang'an, or are they disposed of on the spot?
There are also Qiuzi, Gumo and other lords of the country who came to see in person, among which the lord of Gumo has come, just outside. ”
The general is an honorific title for the Huns.
The Evil King moved it over and used it on Huo Quai's body to show respect.
He surrendered, and the Han Emperor had given him the title of Hou and placed him under the command of the champion Hou.
The Evil King was quite respectful to this top boss.
"Let the Lord of Gumo come over. The captives of those countries were sent to Chang'an. Pu and Loulan are temporarily staying. ”
Huo Qubing is looking at the newly opened military strategy and the two golden symbols obtained from the well because of the defeat of the Western Huns.
The new military strategy is to wait for work.
One of the military strategies mastered by his uncle Wei Qing is to wait for work with ease.
This is a military strategy that Huo Qubing has coveted for a long time, and it can greatly improve the ability of his troops to continue fighting.
It was the former army that ambushed the Huns before and was ready to open it.
As for the two golden symbols, Huo Quzhi had vaguely figured out the purpose.
One of them can be used to increase the level of tactics.
Huo Quzhi vaguely felt that the symbol in this well could directly push a certain military strategy to a new level through the Lingyi Soldier Talisman.
He's thinking about which tactics to improve.
The evil king in front of him agreed, and went out to call people in person with brisk steps.
As he walked out, he saw a young man with a grim appearance staggering past him.
He knew that the other party was also a Huns, called the Fulu Branch, who descended earlier than himself, and was seriously affected by Huo Qu's illness, and was a descendant.
"Huo Hou, no trace of those people has been found. However, using Loulan and Pu as bait for the imminent abolition of the broken country may lead them out. Fulu Zhi said.
Huo Quzhi nodded: "They want the national fortune, the national fortune of Loulan and Pu is much heavier than that of small countries such as Jingjue, and it is indeed not worried that they will not take the bait." ”
Fulu said: "Then I will go down and arrange according to the instructions of the Hou Ye?" ”
