    The palace is the most heavily guarded place in the world, and it is also the most mysterious place in the world. However, what happens in the palace will always be spread to the people through channels.

    When Du Rui left the Chengqing Palace and returned to his palace, everyone in the palace already knew about Du Rui's invitation to the Western Expedition in the morning court.

    As soon as Du Rui entered the house, he saw Princess Ankang and others already waiting. Du Rui couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw this. He didn't say hello to anyone in advance. After returning from Li Shiji's house that day, he  Just busy writing memorials.

    "Why are there so many people gathered today, Mei Niang, didn't you go to Maoling to accompany the Queen Mother? Why are you back home too!?"

    Wu Meiniang is now nearly 40 years old, but time seems unwilling to leave too many traces on her face, and she is still graceful and outstanding.

    "I'm afraid that if I don't come back, I won't be able to see my husband!"

    Du Rui smiled coquettishly and said: "How could that be possible? It's not like heaven and man are separated forever, so how can we not meet each other!"

    Princess Ankang on the side saw that Du Rui was still pretending to be confused, and couldn't help but said angrily: "Rui Lang! What's the reason why you have to lead the army in a hurry? It's only been a few years of peace, why are you just a idle person?"  Unstoppable temper!"

    Baochai is usually the most docile, but today he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, saying: "Husband! I want to conquer the West for food, so why don't you ask me to go in person? Not to mention that my husband is now in a high and powerful position, and all government affairs depend on me."  Refer to the details, cook, so what if your husband is an idler? Could it be that in the Tang Dynasty, there are really no generals who dare to fight? The fifth uncle is now in Egypt, and the third uncle is now in Boxide City. They are all accustomed to being capable.  If you are going to war, why do you have to take risks yourself!"

    Du Rui had expected today's episode, which was not surprising. Many of his wives and concubines did not want him to go to the battlefield again. Du Rui knew this very well. Over the years, he had conquered east and west, and fought in the north and south.  Although he had not been traumatized, he had lived in the open air and slept hard all day long. Now that he was about forty years old, his body was no longer what it used to be.

    Du Rui was deeply touched by the concern and concern of the girls, but this time, he had to leave.

    Dashi has always been a strong player in the West. Although he has been defeated by the Tang Dynasty many times over the years, he is still very powerful. This time Xue Rengui conquers Egypt. If he can win, he will cut off the great empire.  Shi Yizhi took this opportunity to kill him completely. Firstly, it was to fulfill the last wish of Emperor Taizong and Emperor Gaozong, and to give an explanation to his father-in-law and close friends. Secondly, it was also to eliminate a hidden danger in the Tang Dynasty.

    After sending all the servants out, Du Rui said: "At this time, ladies, please stop trying to persuade me. I have made up my mind. Food has always been a hidden danger to the Tang Empire. In the seventh year of Yonghui, there was another battle with Talas.  Massacre of more than 100,000 soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, such deep hatred cannot be resolved!"

    Princess Ankang asked anxiously: "But didn't Rui Lang defeat the enemy of Ibrahim Mohammed in the Western Regions and attack Central Asia to avenge his great revenge?"

    Hearing this, Du Rui said angrily: "A woman's opinion!"

    Princess Ankang was stunned when Du Rui scolded her. He married into the Du family, and Du Rui never said a word to him. Her eyes turned red when she heard this.

    When Princess Runan saw it, she complained: "Rui Lang! You just have something to say, you can't speak properly, you lose your temper randomly!"

    Du Rui also felt that his words were too serious, and sighed: "Shu'er! Don't blame me. The hatred between the Tang Dynasty and Dashi cannot be resolved at all. The Dashi people want to seize the Western Region and march into the East.  Tang Ye also thought about long-term peace and stability in the western border area, and the hatred between the two sides would only get deeper and deeper. How could one really say that revenge was taken? If it was really said that it was revenge, only between the two countries, one country would be completely wiped out.  , it¡¯s over!¡±

    Princess Runan said: "But there is no need for Rui Lang to go there in person!? There are so many generals in the court who are accustomed to fighting, not to mention Mr. Li Shiji, Mr. Wang Xuance, Mr. Xi Junmai, Mr. Liu Rengui, which one is not a battlefield?  Veteran, why do you want Rui Lang to go in person again!"

    Of course Du Rui knew that Wang Xuance and others were able to fight, but in the face of the Great Eclipse, Du Rui was worried about them. The tragic defeat of Su Dingfang and Talos was a lesson learned from the past, and he had to be on guard. This western expedition was related to the fate of the country. Once  If anything goes wrong, the country and the country will be shaken and handed over to others. How can Du Rui rest assured? Even if he goes there in person, he is not sure of victory.

    When Du Rui was able to defeat Ibrahim Mohammed and seize Central Asia, it was because the Central Asian region was conquered not long ago and the people's support was not satisfied. But this time the invasion was different. Not to mention the Arabian Peninsula, the birthplace of the Great Eclipse, it was West Asia.  The area has been conquered by the Dashi for a long time and has long been assimilated by the Dashi people. Du Rui has a headache when he thinks of those fanatical followers, let alone Wang Xuance and others who are not familiar with the Dashi.

    "This battleThe stakes are so high that I have to go, ladies, please stop trying to persuade me!  "

    Seeing that Du Rui was so stubborn and refused to listen to others' advice, Princess Ankang became anxious and said: "You are only thinking about national affairs!"

    Du Rui said: "The emperors of the two dynasties took care of me, Shu'er! Just imagine, in the world, there has never been such a trustworthy person in all dynasties. When Emperor Taizong and Emperor Gaozong came to Yanjia, they both held my hand.  , how dare I slack off when I have been entrusted with the affairs of the world? What's more, swallowing up the world and sweeping the country are the things that Emperor Taizong and Emperor Gaozong care about most. As a minister, and I have been entrusted with such a heavy responsibility, how can I not do my best?  Try your best!"

    When Princess Ankang saw Du Rui mentioning her father and brother, she couldn't help but burst into tears and said, "When my father died that day, he also told you to take care of our sisters. You only think about national affairs, but you don't  There never was us!"

    When Du Rui heard this, he also let out a long sigh and said: "Shu'er! Now that I have been betrothed to the country, it is difficult for me to be betrothed to you again!"

    Sacrifice your family for your country!

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡ª Du Rui, a man who was originally lazy and just wanted to be a free, wealthy, and idle man. Now that the burden has been placed on him, he can't break free, so he can only be cruel.

    Huo Qubing, a general during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, had a famous saying: "The Huns are not destroyed, so why should we take care of our family?"

    Every time Du Rui thought of these heroic words, the long-lasting love between his children was suppressed in his heart. Huo Qiaoqi fought for his country all his life, and he never slacked off. Du Rui had countless darling wives and concubines around him, and they thought of their gentle hometown.  How dare you become lazy easily.

    Recalling the time of Emperor Wu, the northern Xiongnu Chanyu raised his troops to invade the border areas of the Han Dynasty on a large scale.  General Huo Qubing, who had great ambitions since childhood and was full of strong patriotism, led 800 soldiers to fight with General Wei Qing.  Unexpectedly, he went deep behind enemy lines, took the head of the Xiongnu Chanyu's uncle alone, captured the Chanyu's uncle alive, and made a triumphant return.  Later, in the famous "Battle of Hexi", he led more than 10,000 cavalry, defeated the Xiongnu twice, captured more than 40,000 people, and first controlled the four counties of Hexi; he and Wei Qing went deep into the Xiongnu territory for more than a thousand miles and defeated the main force of the Xiongnu.  Killed or captured the Xiongnu generals alive, controlled the Hetao area, and opened up a corridor for the Han Dynasty to the Western Regions.

    Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty read that Huo Qubing had been fighting for many years and made many military exploits. He held a grand celebration ceremony for him and specially sent skilled craftsmen from Beijing to build him a high-rise courtyard surrounded by green trees and cornices and green tiles.

    Huo Qubing was shocked when he saw this tall building compound.  What he was thinking about was not that he could enjoy peace and prosperity from now on, but that the Huns were not destroyed and the war was still going on. How could he leave the military camp and enjoy it in this deep house and compound?

    He resolutely expressed his feelings to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty: "I have received many favors from your majesty, and I feel uneasy. Although I have won a great victory in Hexi, the Huns have not been destroyed, and my elders and sisters in the north are still being ravaged. How can I remove my armor?"  , enjoy living in high buildings and deep courtyards? Or let me return to the military camp immediately and serve with the soldiers to eliminate the enemy!"

    Emperor Wu was greatly moved and agreed to Huo Qubing's request, but ordered him to keep his younger brother behind until the border troubles subsided.

    However, Huo Qubing did not move into this luxurious mansion in the end.  In 119 BC, Huo Qubing won a great victory against the Xiongnu. He died of illness in the army due to overwork at the age of 24.

    Huo Qubing¡¯s famous sayings and deeds tell people: What is the purpose of life?

    "If the Xiongnu is not destroyed, why should we take care of our family?"

    And those people who "do not serve others for themselves, will be destroyed by heaven and earth" face such lofty ideals and great sentiments, even if they are ashamed, they are not qualified to put their country before their family, sacrifice their family for the country, put public affairs before private affairs, and forget about public affairs.  Selfishly, this is a real man and a great hero.

    "If the Xiongnu are not destroyed, why should we take care of our family?"

    What a resounding statement, it has been sung for hundreds of years by the famous general Huo Qubing. Countless literati throughout the ages have written immortal poems praising his achievements.

    At that time, Huo Qubing made extraordinary achievements in the Anti-Hungarian War and was awarded many times by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.  Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty rewarded him with food for more than 17,000 households, and his official rank was Da Sima.  It can be said that he is a high-ranking official with generous salary and great honor!  But Huo Qubing did not sit back and enjoy a comfortable life. He was still worried about the safety of the country.  In order to reward him, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty specially ordered someone to build him an exquisite residence in Chang'an and asked him to go and see if he was satisfied with it.

    But he declined and said to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty: "The Xiongnu are not exterminated, why should we take care of our family?"

    What a heroic language this is!

    It can be said to be a portrayal of Huo Qubing's fighting life. In just eight words, it is decisive and decisive, full of loyalty and heroic spirit of sacrificing his family for his country.

    Not only was Emperor Wu deeply moved when he heard it, these eight shocking words were also engraved in the hearts of the soldiers who had defended their homes and the country in all dynasties.  Even today, hundreds of years later, it can still make people's blood boil.

      And Huo Qubing has also become a symbol of a patriotic general and has been respected by people of all ages.  In his short life of twenty-four years, Huo Qubing went to the fortress many times to fight. He was an undefeated military genius. He won the final victory for the Western Han Dynasty against the Huns.

    Huo Qubing's young life was extremely rough. He was the son of Wei Shao'er, a slave girl from Princess Pingyang's palace, and Huo Zhongru, a small official from Pingyang County. The official did not dare to admit that he had an affair with the princess's slave girl, so Huo Qubing could only be demoted as an illegitimate son.  World.

    ??The illegitimate son that his father dared not admit and his mother was a slave girl, it seemed that Huo Qubing would never succeed, but a miracle finally happened to him.

    ¡°About when Huo Qubing was just one year old, his aunt Wei Zifu entered the harem of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and was soon named Madam, second only to the Queen.

    Huo Qubing¡¯s uncles Wei Changjun and Wei Qing were also promoted to the rank of servant.  The fate of the Wei family has changed since then. At this time, I am afraid no one thought that it was not only Wei Qing and Huo Qubing whose fate was changed, but also the offensive and defensive changes between Han and Huns over the years.

    The talented Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty hoped to change this situation, and he soon found a like-minded person around him. He was Wei Zifu's younger brother Wei Qing.

    In the fifth year of Yuanguang, Wei Qing paid homage to the Chariot and Cavalry General, and he and three other generals each led an army out of the fortress.  During this troop dispatch, three of the four armies were defeated. What was especially outrageous was that veteran Li Guang was captured by the Huns and managed to escape with great difficulty.

    On the contrary, Wei Qing, the "cavalry slave" who went out to lead troops for the first time, went straight out of Shanggu to attack Dragon City and killed 700 enemies. Wei Qing's military genius impressed Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. From then on, he went on many expeditions with great success.

    While Wei Qing was making great achievements, Huo Qubing also gradually grew up. Under the influence of his uncle, he was good at riding and shooting since childhood. Although he was young, he did not bother to stay in Chang'an City like other princes and grandsons, indulge in sex, and enjoy  The shelter of elders.  He longed for the day when he would kill the enemy and achieve meritorious service.

    At this time, the status of the Wei family was constantly improving. First, in the sixth year of Yuanguang, Wei Qing became a general of chariots and cavalry.  His troops left Shanggu and marched straight into Longcheng. He became the only victorious army among the four armies that went out to the fortress, and was named the Marquis of Guannei for his merit.  Then came another important year for the Wei family, the first year of Yuanshuo.

    In this year, first Huo Qubing's aunt Wei Zifu gave birth to the prince Liu Zhi, who was named queen and reached the pinnacle of women at that time. Then in autumn, his uncle Wei Qing was ordered to lead 30,000 cavalry to attack from Yanmen and defeat the Huns.  In the second year, Wei Qing led his troops to attack from Yunzhong, and then passed through Yunzhong County to Shuofang County to sweep and pursue westward, as far as Longxi County.

    In this battle of Monan, the Han army under Wei Qing spanned thousands of miles, defeated the Xiongnu, and drove away the two kings Aiyang and Loufan.  So Henan was designated as Shuofang County, and the Ordos grassland, the outpost of the Xiongnu invasion of the Central Plains, was captured.  After the war, Wei Qing was granted the title of Marquis of Changping, with a settlement of 3,800 households.  At this time, the Wei family already had a distinguished status, which was different from what it used to be.

    At that time, Huo Qubing was at the age of twelve or thirteen with dreams.  His uncle's great success was undoubtedly a role model for him. Perhaps it was at this time that the young man set his lofty ambitions.  Racing across Northern Xinjiang is a goal that is not far away for the young man.

    Finally, his chance came. General Wei Qing sent out from Dingxiang to attack the Xiongnu. He accepted the Emperor Wu's order and appointed the eighteen-year-old Qu Bing as the captain of Piao Yao, with the strong men as his subordinates.  He himself was born in Yulin. Yulin itself was the elite army of the Han Dynasty. Yulinqi, which means "as diseased as a feather, as numerous as a forest", belonged to Guang Luxun and guarded the emperor. Huo Qubing's eight hundred  The Hussars should have these elites.

    There were two expeditions against the Xiongnu this year: one was in the spring, with Heqihou Gongsun Ao as the middle general, Grandservant Sun He as the left general, Xihou Zhao Xin as the front general, Weiwei Su Jian as the right general, and Lang Zhongling as the right general.  Li Guang was the rear general, and Li Ju, the internal history of the left, was the strong crossbow general, beheading more than a thousand people.  The second time was in the autumn, when Wei Qing led six generals to attack from Dingxiang and beheaded more than 10,000 people.

    In this battle, Huo Qubing led his eight hundred Hussars warriors to abandon the army for hundreds of miles, looking for favorable opportunities to attack and kill the enemy. There was no fear or panic in the young man's heart, but only the ambition to make great achievements and the disregard for  Dangerous and heroic, it can be said that he was young and a calf was not afraid of tigers, but it was this kind of heroic spirit that made the young man successful. He attacked the camp in the hinterland of the Xiongnu, killed the Xiongnu Prime Minister and Danghu, and killed Shanyu's grandfather.  A member of his generation, Ruo Hou Chun, captured Shanyu's uncle Luo Gubi alive and beheaded 2,028 people. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty made Huo Qubing the champion marquis and assigned 1,600 households to live in the city.  In this battle, Huo Qubing emerged, like a tiger emerging from the cage, and an eighteen-year-old boy became the nemesis of the Xiongnu who dominated the desert.

    In the spring of the second year of Yuanshou, two years after Huo Qubing first showed his talents, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty once again began to attack the Xiongnu.  Before leaving the fortress this time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty made Huo Qubing a hussar general, with a rank equal to that of a general.

      And this time, Huo Qubing used the high mobility of his cavalry to fight for six days, crossing Yanzhi Mountain for more than a thousand miles, passing five Xiongnu tribes, and fought hand to hand with the enemy, killing King Zhelan and beheading the enemy.  At the head of King Luhu, he killed the heavily armed enemy soldiers, captured the son of King Hunxie, the Xiongnu Prime Minister, and the captain, annihilated more than 8,000 enemies, and captured King Xiutu's golden man offering sacrifices to the sky.

    In the summer of the same year, Huo Qubing led his cavalry across Juyanze, passed through Xiaoyuezhi, and attacked the Qilian Mountains. They captured King Tu, the chieftain, and surrendered with 2,500 people. He killed 30,200 enemies and captured five Huns.  The king, the mother of five little Hun kings, the wife of Shan Yu, fifty-nine Hun princes, and a total of sixty-three Hun prime ministers, generals, households, and captains were captured, and they won a great victory.  When the good news came to the court, Emperor Wu was overjoyed and shouted to all the ministers: "The cure for disease is worthy of my high hopes!".

    In the autumn of the second year of Yuanshou, the Chanyu of the Xiongnu was furious because King Hunxie in the west was repeatedly defeated by the Han army led by the Hussar general, and lost tens of thousands of people. He wanted to summon King Hunxie and kill him.

    It is estimated that the information was not confidential, so it was known to King Hunxie. So King Hunxie, King Xiutu and others wanted to surrender to the Han Dynasty, so they first sent people to the border to greet the Han people.

    After hearing the report, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was afraid that King Hunxie would pretend to surrender and attack the border, so he ordered the hussar general to lead his troops to meet King Hunxie and King Xiutu.  General Hussar crossed the Yellow River and boldly charged into the Huns. He killed 8,000 mutinous Huns without hurting any of his own, and surrendered the remaining 40,000.

    The courage of the young hero is evident. He should have been as mighty as the God of War. This image is engraved in the hearts of the Huns and in the scrolls of Chinese history.

    After the Battle of Hexi, Huo Qubing was awarded a reward by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and 1,700 households were designated as hussar generals.  The young general only rested for more than a year, and another battle was waiting for Huo Qubing, that is, the famous Battle of Mobei.

    At this time, Huo Qubing had undoubtedly become the trump card of the Han army.  Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had great trust in Huo Qubing's ability. In the pre-planning of this war, Huo Qubing was originally arranged to fight Shanyu. However, due to intelligence errors, the match became Wei Qing's and Huo Qubing failed to meet his most desired opponent.  , but ran into King Zuoxian's tribe.

    However, this battle can be regarded as the pinnacle of Huo Qubing's work. In the process of going deep into Mobei to find the main force of the Xiongnu, Huo Qubing led his troops to attack for more than 2,000 miles. With a loss of 15,000, he annihilated more than 70,000 enemies and captured prisoners.  There were three princes of the Huns, and eighty-three captains, generals and ministers.

    Probably because he was eager to meet the Xiongnu Chanyu, Huo Qubing, who was "alone and seeking defeat", pursued him all the way to the Langjuxu Mountain area.  It was here that Huo Qubing paused temporarily and led his army in a ceremony to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth. The ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven and earth was held at Langjuxu Mountain, and the Zen ceremony of offering sacrifices to earth was held at Guyan Mountain.  It is a ritual and a determination.

    After Feng Lang lived in Xu, Huo Qubing continued to lead his army to pursue the Xiongnu in depth, and fought all the way to Hanhai before returning.  Starting from Chang'an, we rushed all the way to Lake Baikal, and won great victories along the way in an almost completely unfamiliar environment. What an achievement!

    After this battle, "the Huns fled far away, and there was no royal court in the south of the desert."  Huo Qubing and his "Self-conferring the Wolf to Live in Xu" have since become the highest pursuit and life-long dream of Chinese soldiers of all ages.

    After completing such an unparalleled feat, Huo Qubing also reached the pinnacle of his life: the Great Sima Hussar General.

    However, only two years later, in the sixth year of Yuanshou, the 24-year-old Cavalry General Huo Qubing passed away.  Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was very sad about Huo Qubing's death.  He mobilized the armored troops and formed a formation along Chang'an to Huo Qubing's cemetery in Maoling.  He also ordered Huo Qubing's tomb to be built to look like the Qilian Mountains to demonstrate his miraculous achievements in defeating the Huns.

    After the death of Huo Qubing, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty never launched any large-scale strategic operations against the Xiongnu. The young general seemed to have finished all the wars against the Xiongnu in Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Like an actor, he had completed his performance on the historical stage and never ceased to do so.  Appear again.  But he will always remain in the eternal memory as a cold, arrogant and strong young man.

    In a sense, he can be said to be the creator of the Blitzkrieg. The Huns were in awe of him and called him the "Cang Wolf". When they were driven out of China, they also spread Huo Qubing's name to Europe.  China has many outstanding military strategists, but in the "World Famous Military Strategies" compiled by the British, only two people were selected, and Huo Qubing was one of them.

    He led troops to formally attack the Xiongnu four times in his life, and returned with great victory every time. He destroyed 110,000 enemies, surrendered 40,000 enemies, opened up territory and expanded territory, and his military exploits were even more spectacular than that of his uncle Wei Qing.  For the entire world military history and Chinese history, Huo Qubing is a legend that will shine through the ages.

    Huo Qubing¡¯s life was a high-spirited, radical and high-speed life, and it was also the life that most excited the blood of the Chinese people.  Although his life was only a short 24 years, like himJust like the famous saying that still shines brightly after thousands of years, "How can we take care of our family until the Xiongnu are destroyed?", this hero who died young will always stand in the history of the Chinese nation.

    The bright moon hangs in the sky, making the night lonely.  The mournful bamboo sticks sound several times, and the strong man is miserable but not arrogant.  May I ask who the general is?  Probably Huo Piaoyao.

    Such scenes have appeared countless times in Du Rui's dreams. In the vast desert of Guangyuan where sand and stones are flying away, strong winds carry thick clouds flying low in the sky, and the chilling atmosphere of nature is like lead.  The bottom is filled between heaven and earth.  The vast Shuo Desert is as quiet as a rock, the waning moon is like a hook, and it is dry and cold.

    Suddenly, on the horizon where the dark clouds opened and closed and the setting sun melted gold, a group of men and horses seemed to gush out from the ground. In the blink of an eye, they poured down like an iron stream and spread out. The majestic cavalry formation passed by like a whirlwind in front of us.  With whistling and roaring, it is overflowing with light, swallowing like a tiger, shocking the soul.

    The knights and horses who had traveled thousands of miles had sweat all over their bodies, penetrating their heavy armors.  The hot breaths of men and horses turned into frost and fell on the horses' heads in an instant. The faces of the men were glowing with patches of silver, the half-rolled flags still exuded the smell of war smoke, and the soldiers' alert eyes and spears gleamed in the twilight.  Huo Qubing, who is sitting on a horse with sweat and blood from the Western Regions, has a serious look on his face.

    After running for thousands of miles, we finally met our old enemy at dawn, who was galloping on horseback and bending his bow, fearless of death.  Wherever the sword was swung, thousands of spears and daggers immediately cut through. Dragons roared, tigers roared, and the opponent's soldiers clashed with each other. The two armies clashed, the situation changed, horses neighed, people roared, and the sound of killing shook the sky. The morning light suddenly disappeared between heaven and earth.  The peace and tranquility are filled with the light of swords and shadows, life and death.

    "The severe wind blows the frost and the seaweed withers, and the sinews are strong and strong, and the horse is proud. The Han family has three hundred thousand soldiers, and the general also leads Huo and Yao. White feathers of meteors are inserted into the waist, swords, flowers and autumn lotus light come out of the box. Heavenly soldiers shine under the snow at Yuguan  , Captive arrows are like sand shooting at golden armor. Clouds, dragons, winds and tigers are all handed back, Taibai enters the moon, the enemy can be destroyed. The enemy can be destroyed, the head is destroyed, walking on the intestines of the Hu, wading in the blood of the Hu. The Hu hangs in the blue sky, and the Hu is buried beside the purple plug.  When there is no one in the country, the Han Dynasty will be prosperous."

    The song "Hu No Man" still makes people imagine Huo Piao Yao's fierceness. Even the stone horse carved in front of his tomb is immortal in history with its inherent charm and grandeur.  "Huo Piao Yao" has become synonymous with bravery, courage and indomitable spirit.

    The life of a young general is ordinary, except for war.  When Emperor Wu asked someone to build him a luxurious mansion for him to review and accept, he flatly refused.  He uttered eight words that have been passed down through the ages: "The Huns are not destroyed, so why should we take care of our family?"

    These eight sonorous and powerful words express the daring loyalty of a seven-foot-old man who serves his country with all his heart. This is also a sense of responsibility that takes the world as his own responsibility. Looking at the historical records, we have never seen any heroic words that have more charm than these words.  It has always resonated in the hearts and ears of border guards in the past dynasties, and it has become the motto of patriots in the past dynasties.

    "If the Xiongnu are not destroyed, why should we take care of our family!"

    This is a state, a state that is far beyond ordinary people and above the heaven and earth.  The great and the ordinary, the noble and the vulgar, appear in an instant.  It is a portrayal of the majestic mind of heroes and a reappearance of their extraordinary life imprints. People in later generations can only look up to its aura with a pious heart just like looking up at a mountain.

    Du Rui didn't dare to compare himself to Huo Qiuqi. Countless great heroes in the past dynasties of China all pale in comparison to Huo Qiuqi. Just the sentence "The Huns are not destroyed, how can we take care of our family" is enough to embarrass the world.  A man immersed in a gentle land.

    "When a man is born into this world, he should think about the world."

    Princess Ankang naturally knew about Huo Qubing, but when she heard what Du Rui said, she couldn't help but feel sore in her heart, and said angrily: "If you have a family and a country in the world, you have to sacrifice your family as long as you serve the country. Does a man really not want to love his children?"  ?¡±

    Hearing this, Du Rui couldn't help but feel apologetic in his heart. Children love each other. Who wouldn't want to think about it? Doesn't Du Rui also want to be a wealthy and idle person?

    But in his current position, with the trust of two generations of kings on his shoulders, how can he let go of that heavy burden and be bound by the love of his children?

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? together out of shame and shame to keep their wives and children!

    " Du Rui also has a heroic complex in his heart. Since he was born in such a magnificent era, how could he be willing to do nothing and eventually die on the bed?

    "Shu'er! Xin'er! Baochai! Don't say any more. I will be the one to let you down in this life!"

    Seeing Du Rui¡¯s words, Princess Ankang also sighed in her heart. It was funny to think that she was jealous of the Tang Empire founded by her father and ancestors just now.

    "You! You always keep asking for leisure, but in the end you can't break free from the fetters of state affairs. You are born to work hard!"

    Hearing this, Du Rui smiled and said, "What can I do?"

    Princess Ankang said: "Both my father and my brother have owed money to me.For you, every time you encounter trouble, all you need is a piece of edict and you forget everything. Forget it!  It¡¯s been so many years, I¡¯ve long been used to it!  If you want to go, how can our sisters really tie you down and hinder your big things? I just hope that you can take care of yourself and be careful. You must remember that in Chang'an City, our sisters are still waiting for your safe return.  !  "

    " Du Rui knew early on that his wives were all considerate, but he was going to be involved in dangerous situations, so he had to complain a few words out of worry. With a wife like this in life, what more could a husband ask for!

    Princess Runan also said: "Okay! Don't say it any more. Rui Lang will go on an expedition to the west at some point, and he won't know when he will be able to return from this trip. Shu'er! Don't say it anymore, it will save Rui Lang from worrying!"  "

    Princess Ankang said angrily: "Sister Xin'er is full of thoughts about Rui Lang. He is going to go on an expedition. Why can't my sister even give instructions?"

    Du Rui said hurriedly: "Okay! Okay! Why not! Today is the Double Ninth Festival, so why don't we, husband and wife, go out together to climb high and look far away! ?"

    Since Du Rui returned to the court, for more than a year, he has been busy with state affairs for most of the time, and he has inevitably become a little alienated from his wives and concubines. Now that he has to go on an expedition, he naturally wants to spend as much time with his family as possible  ,As a compensation.

    Princess Jinyang, who had been silent the whole time, heard this and kept cheering, saying: "Okay! It just so happens that I haven't been out for a long time, so I just want to go out and relax!"

    The other girls naturally agreed not to mention it.

    Having ordered the carriages and horses to be prepared, Du Rui left his wives and children behind, and left Chang'an City with his lovely wives and concubines, heading south directly to Cuihua Mountain.

    Being a stranger in a foreign land, I miss my family even more during the festive season.  I know from afar that when my brothers climbed to a high place, there was only one less person planting dogwood trees.

    On the Double Ninth Festival, wealthy families in Chang'an City will take their families to Cuihua Mountain to climb mountains and look into the distance, expressing their longing for each other.

    ??The mountains, rivers and green flowers end with culture.

    Since the Qin, Han and Tang dynasties, Cuihua Mountain has been opened up as the royal "Imperial Garden" and "Shanglin Garden". Legend has it that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty paid homage to the God Taiyi here.

    Cuihua Mountain combines the splendor of heaven and earth, including the unique landslide wonder in the universe and rare in the world, the highest Jiutian Waterfall in the Qinling Mountains, the unique Tianchi of the Qinling Barrier Lake, thousands of acres of alpine azaleas, tens of thousands of acres of Qinling meadows, and the wonders of China, the ice cave,  The wind tunnel, ten strange stones and other places have fascinating explanations and will make you forget to leave.

    ??The green flowers are in golden autumn, and the red leaves are all over the mountains.

    The red leaves of Cuihua Mountain include golden ingots, five-cornered maples, etc. all over the mountains, as well as hundreds of acres of Nanshan persimmon forests with mature fruits, dotting the mountains, and providing different scenery.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: A vast pool of clear water in the Tianchi Lake is as clear as a mirror and spotless, just like an elegant immortal in the upper world.

    Every Double Ninth Festival, the persimmon leaves turn red early, and the red leaves on the winding road dance with the wind, like the red sleeves of a girl in red waving wantonly in her cardamom years, which is particularly enchanting; the bead curtain on the Eagle Cliff flows straight down, gushing thousands of miles away, and the sound of the water is deafening.  , the momentum is spectacular; the remaining peaks and cliffs are steep and abrupt, and the strange peaks and rocks compete with each other to reach the sky.

    On the Double Ninth Festival, you can go to Cuihua Mountain to enjoy the red leaves, experience Zhongnan culture and natural beauty in person, let go of your emotions and leave behind some nostalgia, which is the most satisfying thing in life.

    Appreciate the red leaves in the mountains, pick golden persimmons, travel to the south of the mountain, have a picnic by Tianchi, wander in the landslide, wander in the wind tunnel, climb among the boulders, walk on the edge of the cliff, look far, near, look up, and overlook  , travel through the mountains, and appreciate the golden autumn beauty of Cuihua Mountain from all angles, which is indeed the most beautiful in Qinling Mountains; fully enjoy the sunshine and beauty in autumn, and enjoy the natural gift of "green mountains and rivers, culture ends in the south".

    You can also stay overnight at Tianchi, Yifangtan Club or farmhouse, hide in the mountains and listen to the sounds of nature.  "The building is leaning against the frost tree, and there is no mirror in the sky. The Nanshan Mountain and the autumn colors are both powerful."

    The air is crisp in autumn, the sky is high and the clouds are light. Autumn can be seen in one leaf. In the magnificent and colorful autumn, nothing is more colorful and more appreciative than the red leaves. Enjoy the intoxicating frost-red beauty of Qinling Cuihua Mountain in autumn.  The "Red Appreciation Tour" cannot be missed. In this romantic autumn season, it is the season when the mountains are covered with red and thousands of leaves are blooming. The rich and wealthy families in Chang'an City like to go to the greenery in this season.  Enjoy the intoxication in the artistic conception of Huashan Mountain with its layers of forests.

    There is a beautiful legend about Cuihua Mountain. It is said that a long time ago, there was a girl named Jin Cuihua in Jingyang County. She was clever and beautiful. She fell in love with Pan Lang from her village and had a private life-long relationship.

    Because her parents died early, her brother and sister-in-law betrothed her to a rich man named Wang in Xianyang City as a concubine in order to get a betrothal gift, and forced her to get married.  Seeing that the wedding date is approaching, Cuihua misses Pan Lang and spins thread day and night.  One night, the girl came to Pan Lang's door and was about to knock on the door. Suddenly a dog barked and scared her away.

    So the girl tied the spinning thread toOn the tree in front of her, the spinning thread went straight to Taiyi Mountain and was hidden by the lake in the mountains, hoping that Pan Lang could find her along the spinning thread.

    The sister-in-law ran away, and it was difficult for the brother-in-law and sister-in-law to explain to the Wang family, so the brother went looking for her everywhere.  I heard a Nanshan Weng said that the villagers who went up to the mountain to collect firewood saw a fairy in Taiyi Mountain. She wore mountain flowers on her head and a female dill on her body.  His brother hurriedly went to Taiyi Mountain to look for her, and sure enough he saw his sister sitting by the cave.

    He was about to step forward and grab his sister, when he heard a thunderbolt, the ground shook and the mountains shook, and a stream of water formed into a spring. The mountain scenery suddenly changed, heavenly music sounded, and the gods appeared. Accompanied by the fairies, the green flower stand slowly rose into the sky.

    There is a legend: "The clouds rise from the top of Yu'an Peak and the rain comes from Jinhua Cave", which attracts thousands of faithful men and women wearing stars and moons to rush to the mountain to burn incense, pray and pursue the loyalty of love.

    In order to commemorate this girl who dared to love and hate, people renamed Taiyi Mountain Cuihua Mountain, and built Cuihua Palace on the bank of Tianchi Lake in the mountain, with a white marble statue of Cuihua Girl.

    In order to commemorate this girl who was loyal to love, future generations hold the Cuihua Girl Temple Fair every year. Thousands of faithful men and women come to the mountain wearing stars and moons, and the incense is strong.

    Speaking of which, among Du Rui's many darling wives, whether they are Princess Ankang, Princess Runan, and Princess Jinyang, the three most noble princesses of the Tang Dynasty, or Princess Elizabeth from Austrasia, they all dare to love.  People who dare to hate.

    When you arrive at Cuihua Mountain, how can you not visit the white marble statue?

    Naturally, Du Rui had to accompany a group of wives and concubines, walking on the mountain road, and met passers-by from time to time. Those people all knew Du Rui, but they didn't dare to come forward and disturb them. They just held their hands in front of them and saluted from a distance. Du Rui didn't care much.  , return the favor one by one without mentioning it.

    "Rui Lang! It would be great if you could accompany our sisters like this every day!" Princess Jinyang said, thinking that Du Rui would lead an army to go on an expedition soon, she felt melancholy again.

    Du Rui smiled and said: "Sizi! Why are you so sad? After returning this time, I will not go out again. I will stay in Chang'an to accompany you!"

    Princess Ankang heard this and hummed: "But you said it nicely! I don't know how many promises I made, but one of them was fulfilled!"

    Du Rui was helpless for a while after being told by Princess Ankang, but when he thought about it carefully, he really had nothing to refute. It was indeed him who was in the wrong and made so many promises to his wife, but in the end, none of them were fulfilled. Du Rui  Rui, a manly man, is really ashamed.

    "This time it will definitely count! This time it will definitely count!"

    Princess Runan looked at Du Rui's appearance and couldn't help laughing: "Shu'er! Don't embarrass Rui Lang anymore. If you keep talking, Rui Lang will swear to heaven!"

    Princess Ankang said: "I just want him to swear an oath in front of the statue of Cuihua girl. If he doesn't fulfill it again, he will be punished by the fairy!"

    After hearing this, Du Rui couldn't help but sweat profusely. When will Cuihua Fairy punish the lover again?

    Speaking of which, Du Rui really owed a lot to this loving wife and concubine, but what could he do? As the same saying goes, now that he has been betrothed to the country, it will be difficult for him to be betrothed again.  .

    To put it into detail, it¡¯s really heartless.

    "But Du Rui has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, how dare he slack off at all, he only hopes to complete the important trust of Emperor Taizong and Emperor Gaozong as soon as possible, and then he will really be like the wandering clouds and wild cranes, free and easy.

    But that can only be imagined!

    Datang has been led to another road by him. On this road, he is the only leader. If this burden is really relieved, where will Datang go? If something goes wrong, what will happen to him?  How can I bear it!
