Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Wu Ying was dressed in mourning and his eyes were red and swollen from crying. His old father Wu Zui died of illness.  ¡ü The old man was in his seventies and had a strong body. He had taken good care of his body according to the doctor¡¯s instructions and still had at least ten years to live. However, the victory in the Battle of Yinshan was so shocking that the old man drank more wine in the evening when he was happy and passed away that night.  Wu Yingqi blames himself. He obviously has the ability to stop his father from drinking. At such an old age, his organs are weak and the internal organs are most taboo about happiness and sorrow. It is not suitable to drink alcohol, even though the medical workers of this era have not yet fully understood drinking.  The downside is that at least you know that drinking alcohol will speed up your heartbeat and put a greater burden on your fragile blood vessels.  It is very dangerous for an old man in his seventies to drink. Even if the emperor holds a banquet of thousands of old men in Chang'an every year, he rarely serves wine. In the past, there was a limited supply of low-alcohol liquor, but now it has been replaced by clear white liquor with increased purity.  Remove it and replace it with the latest low-alcohol fruit wine.  The terrible thing is that what Wu Yingqi¡¯s old father drank was not fruit wine. Even a mere four ounces of white wine was more terrifying than two bottles of fruit wine. When the medical staff rushed over in the morning, the old man had passed away peacefully for a long time.  According to the ritual system, the emperor was buried on the seventh day and buried in the seventh month; the princes were buried on the fifth day and buried in the fifth month; the officials, scholars and common people were buried on the third day and buried in the third month.  The funeral period for the marquis is five days, and then the coffin must be kept for five months. Then Wu Yingqi must carry the coffin and return to his hometown for burial. Then he must observe mourning for three years and behave filial piety as a son of man.  The sky was gradually getting darker, and the number of guests coming and going to express condolences was becoming increasingly rare. Occasionally, a figure would rush over to shed a handful of tears at the coffin. Most of the guests just sighed, and took the opportunity to comfort the filial son and express his condolences.  "Seventy years are rare in life.  Confucius once said: "When you are seventy, you should follow your heart's desires without going beyond the rules." According to Han family customs, death due to illness in one's seventies is a sign of joy and mourning.  There is no need to be too sad as a son of man.  Yuan Zhong bowed respectfully to the coffin, and his filial son Wu Ying returned the bow.  Wu Yingqi's wife, Wen Shi, returned the favor with difficulty despite her six-month-old belly. Yuan Zhong quickly gave in: "My wife is pregnant with Liujia and she should not overwork herself. Brother Wu should be considerate of my wife's health and reduce the etiquette."  " "Oh! Dear brother! We are brothers and don't speak foreign languages. I also want your sister-in-law to go back and take care of herself. However, our Han family's rituals are too big and we have to go out to cope with the pregnancy, otherwise the news will come.  People outside don't know what to say about me." Wu Yingqi sighed depressedly. He had stayed in Hehuang Valley for two years.  Wu Yingqi had a very good relationship with Yuan Zhong, and the princes' descendants who came down from the Longxi Plateau in batches were very united. Wu Yingqi came back first to get married and have children to continue the family line, otherwise he would have stayed until this time.  Yuan Zhong observed that there were no outsiders in the mourning hall, and said quietly: "My prince also knows about the changes in Liang Zou's family, and sighs that people are prone to misfortune and good fortune. My prince means that it is a proper thing to go to the funeral, and I will carry the coffin back."  The burial in the hometown can be replaced by the burial in Yangling. After three years of guarding, you can resurrect Mo Liao and join the army. After all, you were once the cavalry commander of the Northern Army. " Wu Yingqi's expression changed. He didn't understand the resurrecting of Qing, but Mo Liao.  Liao Congrong must have known about it before Duke Wen of Jin was buried.  He suddenly raised troops and united with his ally Jiang Rong, so Jin Xianggong declared himself his son, and participated in the Battle of Wei with fierce uniforms to ambush the Qin army.  The Qin army was defeated and three generals were captured. From then on, the good relationship between Qin and Jin ended here.  The Qin people also lost the capital to dominate.  "It is indeed understandable to serve the country with fierce clothes, but the meaning coming from Yuan Zhong's mouth is quite different.  Mo Liao's joining the army was not simply a literal meaning, but the connotation was that the cavalry general Cao Shi intended to launch an army to conquer the Xiongnu in the north, in order to establish a great fame that would never be easy.  "ThisI can't make the decision, can I?" "I just want to inform you that the general's eight hundred miles of urgent notes have been sent to the Weiyang Palace. I think you will soon receive the order of stealing love and Mo Liu joins the army." Yuan Zhong stood up.  Say goodbye hastily.  A few days later, Weiyang Palace.  Liu Che absent-mindedly listened to the music from various places in the greenhouse palace. His thoughts were all focused on that little person. The significance of the emperor's eldest daughter was by no means as simple as the civil and military officials imagined. October would be the fifth year since he ascended the throne.  During this period, an emperor who had been an emperor for five years finally had his first child. One can only imagine what the emperor was thinking.  At the beginning, how many people quietly talked about the emperor could not have children, and how many people were suitable for the next generation of emperors. Now it seems how ridiculous and shameless, but it is not surprising if you think about it.  It has been nearly seventy years since the founding of the Han Dynasty. Except for Taizu Gao, Emperor Liu Bang married late and had children. Emperor Xiaohui had a son in his teens. When he died of illness, he had four princes. Although  When Zhu Lu was killed, he was smeared as not his biological son, but anyone with a discerning eye knew that there was absolutely nothing wrong with the four sons.  Emperor Taizong Wen got his daughter, Princess Tao Chang, Liu, who went to prostitution when she was twelve years old. At first glance, it seems that Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty did not have many heirs. However, if you consider the four legitimate sons born to the concubines who were poisoned, the number of children in Taizong's lineage is not particularly small.  Emperor Gaozongjing was fourteen years oldFortunately, Li Ji gave birth to her eldest son Liu Rong at the age of fifteen. She had more than a dozen sons before her death, not including her unknown daughters. Three generations of emperors all had children at the age of fifteen, because Liu Che was about to turn twenty.  Years old, there is still no heir to pass down, and the emperor himself is under great pressure.  Fortunately, all the pressure has become a thing of the past. As soon as Wei Zifu entered the palace, he was very proud to give birth to a little princess for him. The emperor was very happy.  "Liu Huan, my daughter's name is this." The emperor was lost in thought. His thoughts were not about the small palace in Yongxiang. The imperial edict to confer the title of his wife came, because Wei Zifu was in confinement and it was inconvenient to move into the spacious palace.  Liu Che felt very guilty and blamed himself. He knew that Wei Zifu was pregnant, but he did not think of placing her in a comfortable palace. After all, Yongxiang was a place for unpopular women and palace maids.  place.  Just when his soul was wandering, the Prime Minister's deep and hoarse voice woke him up.  "Your Majesty! The victory at Yinshan shocked all the Xiongnu tribes. The Xiongnu sent envoys to the Han Dynasty to ask for renewal of the alliance. I wonder what your Majesty means?" "What do you think, Taiwei?" Tian Fu's eyes flashed and he bowed: "Your Majesty,  I think that the Huns are trying to deceive us by delaying their troops. At this time, I should order the Han army to go north to sweep the Xiongnu territories as soon as possible and force the Xiongnu Chanyu to surrender. However, this general is not suitable for a chariot and cavalry general." "Why?  The first is to be rewarded in Beijing, the second is to be reunited with relatives after not returning home for many years, the third is that the Han cavalry has suffered a lot and needs to be replaced as soon as possible, and the fourth is to take care of the northern and southern armies as well as the borders of the county.  The soldiers are the fourth. It is not good for one family to have a monopoly, and it is not good if the general of the chariot and cavalry has too much merit." The emperor nodded with satisfaction: "I also intend to let the general of the chariot and cavalry return to Beijing for training.  There are still several generals at our disposal, why bother with the chariot and cavalry generals?" Prime Minister Dou Ying said: "What your majesty said is very true, but I think it is not enough to just let the chariot and cavalry generals return to the capital to rest. King Zuo Xian was arrested.  I have no intention of going south for the time being, but the main force of King Youxian's army has not been damaged. King Aries and King Loufan are just Jizu tribes. I am very worried that King Youxian will hold a grudge and send troops to invade Longxi County again next year. " Shaofu Han An.  Guodao: "Does the prime minister mean to let the generals of chariots and cavalry guard Longxi? It is reported that the losses in Longxi County are unclear, and they have to rely on the battle of Yinshan to recover the losses." The ministers carefully avoided the battle of Yinshan.  The emperor was still hesitant about the reward for the cavalry generals, but the Han army staying in the Hetao Plain continued to send flying reports. Almost every two or three days, a Xiongnu tribe would be annihilated and captured. The Xiongnu tribes between Yinshan and Yangshan were completely destroyed.  After breaking up, Shuzuoli asked the court to re-establish the Jiuyuan County of Qin in the Hetao Plain.  King Youxian returned from Longxi County with a full load. Hearing that the Xiongnu tribes on the front line of Yinshan and Yangshan were beaten to a pulp, he almost vomited blood. He gritted his teeth and vowed to take revenge, but everyone knew that King Youxian was unable to fight another war.  The eastern foot of Yinshan Mountain borders Yunzhong County. It is very convenient for the Han army to enter and exit Yinshan Mountain.  Crossing the river to Henan is not too troublesome. If King Youxian wants to reach the foot of Yinshan Mountain, he must cross the desert no-man's land in the northwest of the Yellow River. It was not a problem in the past, but now King Youxian is unable to raise troops to march eastward.  .  King Youxian led his main force of 120,000 troops south to attack Longxi County.  This unexpected move produced brilliant results, and the unsuspecting Longxi Frontier Army was defeated. After all, the Longxi Frontier Army only had less than 20,000 people.  During non-war times, they are scattered in various counties to farm, and only in emergencies will they be fully mobilized.  When there is a sudden attack.  There were only two thousand frontier troops in Didao City, and the more than a thousand county soldiers scattered in various counties were vulnerable to hundreds of thousands of Huns cavalry.  King Youxian destroyed the city all the way to Didao City and the army was in full swing. In order to protect the retreating villagers from escaping south, Su Xi, the prefect of Longxi, did not hesitate to fight against the 120,000 Xiongnu army with the troops of the prefecture and state who had retreated into Didao City.  .  The disparity in strength, lack of preparation, and damaged morale resulted in a huge defeat. Two thousand Han troops died on the spot and eight thousand were injured. Su Xi, the prefect of the county, was injured, the captain was seriously injured, and the prime minister died in battle. The Huns were actually here.  In this deadly battle, more than 3,000 lives were lost, and as many as 6,000 to 7,000 were injured. King Youxian was so angry that he could not eat for several days.  The defeated Han army defended Didao City. Taking advantage of the Huns' inability to attack the city, they held the city wall for three months.  Subsequently, the Confederate Army's 120,000 chariots and cavalry entered Longxi County. The Confederate Army soldiers who had just retreated from the battlefield in Yanmen County were also exhausted. They had just rested for less than a month before reentering the battlefield. Fortunately, King Youxian on the opposite side was  The momentum of the Xiongnu tribe was also gradually declining. The three-month siege of Didao could not break the morale. Facing the incoming Confederate army, they retreated wisely. The unwilling Xiongnu tribes tentatively launched an attack on the Confederate army, which was easily blocked by the Confederate army.  When they came down, they also killed hundreds of careless Huns cavalry.  A small victory changed the situation of the battle, and the Northern Army cavalry who came later tried to capture it.On the back road of King Xian, a battle of annihilation was fought between Longxi and Hexi. King Youxian saw that the situation was not good and ran with his men to the grassland. The two armies of the North and South pursued him all the way into the Hexi Corridor, forcing King Youxian to  The troops abandoned many looted property and Han people.  After this battle, the losses in Longxi were barely recovered. Su Xi, the governor of Longxi and the Marquis of Jiangyang, was dismissed from office and dismissed as a marquis for being negligent. He thought of the timely and desperate resistance to make up for the small amount of merit. Su Xi was allowed to still be transferred to the post of governor of Shanggu County, and he was punished for his meritorious service.  .  "Longxi County has been beaten into a mess. Is it appropriate to let General Chaoqi go?" The emperor thought for a long time: "I order General Chaiqi to rest in Chang'an City until next year. I believe that General Chaiqi's political skills will be able to manage Longxi County well. As long as  I will do my best to support him if he can make the border county settle down." Prime Minister Dou Ying suddenly asked: "Then the reward of General Chariot" (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
