Chapter 483 Gifts
In the first month of the second year of Wude, this winter when the war in Hexi ended, the eighth Jiao learned that there was no need to send troops to Longyou, so he concentrated his efforts to restore order.
The folk customs in Hexi are simple, so the eighth Zheng was also quite peaceful. We tried our best not to move the local wealthy and noble forces and maintain the situation of blind dates between the governors and the natives. This is the strategy of the fifth reunion in Liangzhou: Longyou, Hexi was sandwiched between the Qiang and Hu, and there were fewer people. After a series of tragic wars, the entire state had less than one million households. On this land, the Di Qiang and Hu people actually had a population advantage.
Therefore, they can only support the powerful and encourage them to build forts. At the same time, the whole people practice martial arts, soldiers and horses, and war shooting. The police of Ming beacon towers were appointed by the eighth Jiao and the four county magistrates of Dunhuang, Jiuquan, Zhangye and Wuwei. Once the Qiang and Hu invade the siege, he would come forward to rescue the soldiers and the counties!
When the postcar envoy from the capital arrived, Di Bajiao learned that the fifth domineering had passed away and the clan lost his elders. He couldn't help but feel very sad. He cried at Dongfang with red eyes, and finally recovered after the prefects advised him.
"Your Majesty knows that the coldness and suffering of Hexi is also given gifts to the governor."
The messenger asked someone to lift the black box in the car down and asked the eighth to start.
Let’s talk about the fifth reunion, to the three dukes and nine ministers, as well as the main provincial governors and generals, all sent New Year’s greetings.
The first post cavalry sent to Hexi was the first. The fifth tyrant packed the box and set off on the road before he passed away. The edicts were caught up later. After all, the four counties were really far away and it took one month to go one way. Because of this, the fifth tyrant did not bring the "monetary" iron tongs to the eighth tyrant.
What is it inside?
The box was a bit long and quite heavy. After the eighth clan opened it, he saw that there were five brand new scepters inside!
The main section is made of copper as the main pole, the handle is eight feet long, the yak tail is three-fold hanging, and the four-handled secondary section is made of bamboo as the material, which is seven feet long. In terms of shape, it is no different from that used by generations of envoys such as Zhang Qian, Su Wu, and Chang Hui.
But the hung ears on it are different.
The Han Festival is red, the New Festival is yellow, but the current Wei Festival is more eye-catching and colorful!
The eighth stroking the ears of brocade, and the sadness in his heart was relieved. Although he claimed to be emptying Hexi, he was humble and had never told others that he would not pass it back to the Western Regions. Thousands of miles away, His Majesty could know what he thought.
In the edict, he asked him to "give him the importance of the rituals and the power to give him the exclusive duty." This means that the eighth charity is equivalent to the King of Hexi, and the four counties were arrested in one go. The fifth charity even gave him the privilege of representing the emperor and dealing with the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions!
Although Hexi is currently mainly wary of Qiang and Hu, it has been decided to know that the eighth correction of the fifth domineering life.
"After the spring, Hexi will send envoys from Dunhuang and then out of Yumen in order to contact the Western countries close to the Central Plains and restrain the Huns."
"From this year, the colorful Wei Festival will appear on the land of the Western Regions!"
...
In Liangzhou, Chengji County, Tianshui County, General Wan Xiu also received the "blind box" sent by the emperor.
But Wan Xiu, who almost fell in Qishan, was quite weak due to long-term injuries and illnesses. Not only could he not issue a petition, he could not even open a box in person, so he had to help his confidants.
The lid was gently uncovered, and the thing in the box appeared in front of everyone, but it was a belt.
The belt is a belt for men to wear clothes, usually leather. This belt is exquisitely crafted and four inches wide. You can see it when you turn it over. The inner part is painted vermilion red! According to the etiquette, this only means one thing.
"This is the belt used by Your Majesty!"
In the letter, the fifth reunion said that he was "Xiqing with a leash", and asked Wan Xiu to tie it, and even joked that he would protect his old waist well.
The confidants congratulated one after another: "Your Majesty means that the general is the courage of the country!"
But Wan Xiu didn't speak, and only touched the gorgeous gilded auspicious beast copper belt hook, with a complex expression. The man with a high status these days also had many belts, not only slightly different in color, but also had a variety of hooks, which were changed according to the occasion and the style of clothes he wore.
For example, the one in front of me is fancy and light, and is obviously used for court meetings and etiquette, but it cannot be used on the battlefield.
The words in the fifth letter also reminded Wan Xiu, who liked reading and worked hard in Confucian heroes, recalled a passage from the "Yi".
"Or the tin belt will be stripped of it three times in the whole day!"
This is the upper nine lines of the "Litigation Gua", not a good one. Wan Xiu felt that the fifth relationship might be implying himself that he is now singing a series of rewards to the Longyou Battle and adding households. But there are gains and losses. Soon, it will be Wan Xiu's turn to be "deprived" and deprived of something.
Wan Xiu stroked his painful waist and back. The imperial doctor said that his old injury relapsed and he might never be able to ride a horse again. If he forced himself, he would have to lie in Longyou bitter cold for the rest of his life. It would be better to go back to Chang'an. This diagnosis was also known by the fifth reunion.
The veteran is not dead, but is just withering. With His Majesty’s concern and love for him, he will definitely take away Wan Xiu’s military power and responsibilities and let him return to the court to recuperate.
"This is for private matters, for public affairs, the battle situation in Longyou has been decided, and the eighth is enough for Wu Han to deal with it, and I can use more usefulness in Guanzhong."
Wan Xiu is a person who cares about the overall situation. He knows that the next goal of the fifth reunification is Red Eyebrow. Once a war begins, it will be a big battle. Cen Peng, who is responsible for Guanzhong's defense during the Longyou Campaign, may go south. Someone must guard the court, right?
After thinking about it, Wan Xiu felt that he should be a more suitable candidate, to recuperate and stay at home, both at the same time.
He suddenly felt relieved. Perhaps the moment he captured Qishan and completed his mission, Wan Xiu was satisfied. He had at least braved him before retreating to the second line!
Wan Xiu gently buckled the belt and said to himself: "I really should write a letter and ask for it!"
...
After all, he is an acquaintance, and Wan Xiu can guess the obscure hint of the fifth reunion.
But to the other general, the fifth reunion had tried to make it clear directly, and he was still confused!
Wu Han, who was guarding Didao and commanding Longxi and Jincheng counties, was very unhappy because he opened the box excitedly, and there was only an inexplicable sour article inside!
The envoy also began to recite without missing a word: "Ming Ling Wei Xuan, Rong had a first-zero, and was invaded the western border of Han. Han ordered the tiger ministers, but the latter generals to punish our six divisions, and they were attacked and shocked. After they came to their territory, they ordered their power and virtues and had a good reputation. They were called "not to win. Please work hard for the brigade. The emperor ordered me to follow the Qiang in the drought. The emperor ordered me to follow the Xianyang, and the camp was calm and guarded the chaotic. He repeatedly reported the seal, predicting that the enemy would win, and his power and plan were weak. He then defeated the Xirong and returned to the capital. The ghosts were in court, and there was no place to go..."
The words are obscure - at least for Wu Han who barely read. Wu Han was confused when he heard this. When he watched the Qiang-guarding school, Niu Han, was full of solemn faces, and even cast an envious look at Wu Han.
Finally, Liu Xin, who was walking in the back with a dove stick, solved the puzzle for Wu Han: "In the revival of Han Zhong, he was a martial artist, and he was brave and brave, and he was also the descendants of the country..."
He sighed, "This is Yang Xiong and Yang Ziyun's "Song of Zhao Chongguo"!"
"It turned out to be the Old General Zhao." Even though Wu Han was ignorant and had been in Longyou for so long, he had heard of this person's reputation. The people of Longyou were proud of Li Guang in the early Han Dynasty. After the incident with the Li family, Zhao Chongguo, a famous general during the revival of Zhaoxuan, came from behind and became the most admired person among the children of the six counties.
There is no need to say anything about the deeds of such as the collapse of the formation and the encirclement in the Battle of Tianshan in the early years, the Han army broke through, or the outposts for thousands of miles and the right part of the Huns in his later years. Zhao Chong's main achievements were to quell the Western Qiang Rebellion during the reign of Emperor Xuan, and the main enemy was also the first Qiang Qiang.
If Wu Han didn't understand the words of famous generals just by the imperial teacher, then the meaning of what the envoy took out next was even clearer!
"General Wu attacked Longxi, defeated Didao, and seized Lintao. He was very successful. He was specially appointed as the Later General!"
Although the latter general was the last one, it also means that the later generations of Wu and Han rank above, surpassing Zhang Zong, Zheng Tong and others, and becoming the forefront of military generals. Isn’t it better than General Yaoqi?
This verse is meaningful, and it has the encouragement of the fifth reunion to Wu Han. I hope he can attack Xianling Qiang in Longyou and establish a achievements like Zhao Chong Kingdom. By the way, it also mentioned in the edict that he wanted Wu Han to learn from Zhao Chong Kingdom, not just relying on killing, but to farm and divide many means to subdue the Qiang people...
But Wu Han was so grateful in person, but he had his own plans inside.
"Although Zhao Chongguo pacified Xianlingyi, decades later, Xianling Qiang made a comeback, and was also named King of Qiang by Gongsun Shu. He took advantage of the winter to almost take away the entire Jincheng County?"
So Wu Han felt that although Zhao Chongguo was famous, was it because of the Longyou people boasting about the celebrities in their hometown too much? He was not very clean in the battle. How could this be done after the Qiang people cut one by one and one by one?
"The Western Qiang is a weed."
Wu Han touched the seal of his "General Empress Wei" and had his own idea: "I am deeply admired by Your Majesty. I have to work harder to deal with the Qiang Rong. I must be like a farmer who weeds and cut off the roots in one breath and do not regenerate!"
...
Having returned to the New Qinzhong, Xiao Geng, who once again focused on defending the Huns, also received the gift of the fifth reunion.
The Bingzhou military cavalry followed the habit of Han cavalry, and immediately used a standard ring-headed knife with straight ridges and straight blades. There was no obvious difference between the handle and the blade, and there was no protective gear. The handle of the knife was mostly clamped with wooden pieces, and thick ropes were wrapped around the outside.
Easy to hold.
But the fifth reunion brought Geng Yan a unique "saber".
Geng Yan weighed the weapon in his hand and raised his eyebrows slightly.
Like the "Seven Star Sword" that is too decorative and not used, this knife is forged with the latest steel filling method. The blade is slightly thick and has a strong toughness, ensuring the strength of chopping. I don’t know how many times the blade has been forged, and it shines with a sharp cold light.
The most unique thing is that the knife is actually slightly bent!
This is strange. Whether it is the Huns or the Han army, they all use straight blades, and only some of them come from the distant Aries. The Hu weapons from Yuezhi have this similar form, but the Hu weapons have always been joked by the Han people, saying that they are "one Han and the Five Barbarians", so they are not taken seriously. At most, there are a few tributes hidden in the palace.
But this new saber really has nothing to do with foreign weapons. It is a product launched by the fifth reunion Shaofu, Shuiheng, created a new weapon and repeatedly tried.
The soldiers of the Bingzhou military cavalry were also talking about it, and out of habit, they were quite repulsive.
Geng Yan believes in practice and first cut the armor with a knife. If the strength is enough, he can cut the three pieces of the Huns' leather armor stacked together at one time!
He rode a horse to test again, and under waving, the slightly curved center of mass of the saber was far away from the hilt, which really increased the lethality of the knife.
"It's a good weapon."
Geng Yan was not interested in any scepter or scepter. As a general of the chariot, he would not be able to be promoted unless he added the word "big". He only had a special liking for bows and swords! However, the fifth reunion gave him a gift again.
What made Geng Yan even more happy was that the craftsmen and the knife's picture formula were also delivered to the north!
The fifth relationship was fully handed over to Geng Yan, and he asked him to decide whether there was a need for promotion. No matter how good the weapon was, it would have to be used by the frontline soldiers.
Geng Yan then raised his sword and told everyone.
"This is not only a generous reward given to me by Your Majesty."
"It is also a great gift to you and the Bingzhou soldiers and cavalry!"
...
After two months of hard fighting, Zhuo County, which was occupied by the rebels, was finally defeated.
Jing Dan, who was dragging his sick body into the city to surrender, also received a gift from Xijing.
What would it be? As Jing Dan, the subordinate of Youzhou Governor, Kou Xun, Wang Liang and others were quite nervous. The generals of Longyou showed their magical powers, and Ma Yuan also won a great victory in the Central Plains. Instead, the rebellion in Youzhou dragged the whole country down!
Jing Dan coughed and insisted on opening it. After opening it, Kou Xun glanced over and saw that the thing in the box was actually a piece...
“Check?”
Chapter completed!
