Chapter 224 Xiao He is visiting

A thousand-word article adds a bright look in the cold winter of the building.

In just half a day, the song "The heaven and earth are mysterious and yellow, the universe is vast and vast" appeared in the streets and alleys of Loucang Town. The carefree children did not understand the touching aspects of this article. However, they were catchy and gorgeous, and they sang them quite interestingly.

Lou Cang belongs to Chu. Most of the folk songs are mainly Chu Ci, especially Qu Yuan's "Li Sao", "Nine Songs" and "Tianwen". Chu Ci evolved from folk songs of Chu and has extremely strong local characteristics, so it is also called Nanfeng and Nanyin.

The witch wind prevailed in Chu, and the Chu people used singing and dancing to entertain the gods, which made many myths preserved happily.

This also makes Chu Ci full of rich religious colors, and is filled with romantic feelings with the unique tone and music of Chu State.

Thousand-character writing is completely different from Chu Ci.

In the original history, the emergence of Thousand Characters was a chapter that was completely different from this era after respecting Confucianism and abolishing hundreds of schools of thought, and the integration of the north and south cultures during the Five Barbarians' invasion of China. On the basis of inheriting the Chu culture, it also incorporated Confucian scholarship and the passion of the northern nomadic peoples, making Thousand Characters a grand and dignified article.

The world is mysterious and yellow, the universe is vast and vast...

After Liu Kan recited the Thousand Characters, he also considered Liu Qin's age, so he adopted some musical methods from later generations to make them more easy to understand and quickly learn to sing. Even Liu Kan himself did not expect that such a result would occur.

So much so that when Chen Ping and others heard this, they were all applauded.

Liu Qin sang this thousand-character text in one day. Even Wang Xin, who doesn't like reading, can easily read two sentences on the field, "The phoenix sings in the bamboo, and the white horse eats in the field." This really makes Wang Ji happy and the smile on her face is even brighter.

At the same time, through word of mouth, the content of the Thousand Characters gradually spread around the building and warehouse...

Liu Kan obviously did not expect what consequences this "Thousand Character Classic" would have for this era. He just wrote a letter and sent someone to Xianyang, begging Shusun Tong to write the "Bo Xue Pian" and "Thousand Character Classic" for him. Then he left this matter behind. Because, for Liu Kan, there was another more important thing, that was to organize the marriage between Liu Ju and Wang Ji.

After some discussion, Mrs. Kan and Xiang Qiang decided on the day of Dahan.

Great Cold, the last solar term among the twenty-four solar terms.

The place where the 39th is just passed, the coldest time of the year is the coldest time of the year. However, after the great cold, the beginning of spring is the beginning of spring and all things are revived.

According to the hexagram, the theory of "Do (pronunciation pi, three tones) is reversed and "The Great Way".

Whether it is Liu Ju or Wang Ji, they can be regarded as having experienced ups and downs, suffering a lot of hardships, and they are all "hard people".

Now, a good day is coming, isn’t it a great blessing?

Liu Kan had no objection to Mrs. Kan's decision. Anyway, it was all the same as good or bad.

The marriages in the Qin Dynasty were far less complicated than those in later generations of Confucianism, nor were there many absurd and ridiculous customs when they got married in later generations.

After Liu Kan announced Liu Ju's marriage to everyone, everyone did not show much surprise.

After all, Liu Ju lived in seclusion and rarely showed up. So many people knew that Liu Kan had an elder brother, but not many people had seen him. The indigenous people of Lou Cang were better. When Liu Ju killed Ding Qi, he showed his face. However, more people didn't even know Liu Ju's name. Some outsiders living in Lou Cang didn't even know that Liu Kan had such an elder brother.

Time flies, and Liu Ju's wedding day is coming soon.

Wang Ji has moved out of the Liu Mansion and temporarily lives in a different village in the Chen family. Jade Lu and Mrs. Kan are also busy all day long, while Liu Ju grinned every day and smiled foolishly when he sees everyone.

Liu Ju is over thirty years old.

But his body remains at its peak.

His strength is becoming more and more amazing, and his martial arts are becoming more and more exquisite.

He was originally very strong in his foundation. While practicing boxing and working hard, he also learned Tai Chi under the guidance of Liu Kan.

After years of cultivation, especially after An Qi lifted the lock slave mark on him, Liu Ju's entire body changed.

Ordinary weapons are no longer available.

Liu Kan came back from Pingyang and thought for a long time, and designed a suitable weapon for Liu Ju.

Mace!

Liu Ju's divine power is amazing, and he is also taking a strong path. He likes to open and close the enemy with his strength. Originally, Liu Kan wanted to create two sledgehammers for Liu Ju. But later he found out that this hammer was not easy to practice. In the Qin Dynasty, there was no systematic hammer method, and Liu Ju was not suitable for practicing again at the age of Liu Ju. So Liu Kan simply asked Pan Ye's father and son to acquire the fine iron for a large sum of money in the iron house. The method of making steel was developed by Pan Ye, which took 30 days to create a giant mace weighing 180 kilograms.

It is about ten or two feet long, and the rod is thicker than the baby's arms.

The oval hammer head with one hundred and eight iron spikes on it is particularly amazing.

Even Liu Kan felt that the heavy mace was suppressed. However, in Liu Ju's hand, it was like a lamp grass, and he could turn it with one arm.

Liu Ju couldn't put it down for this weapon.

He held a mace all day and competed with people in the barracks.

Zhonglimei and Guan Ying have no match for Liu Ju for twenty rounds. If there are only two people in Loucang Town who can fight against Liu Ju.

Liu Kan is naturally considered one, but he is not Liu Ju's opponent by purely fighting for strength.

Every time I fight with Liu Ju, I can only rely on skills to win. But the process is so mysterious that I can't tell who wins and who loses.

Another person who can fight with Liu Ju is Wang Xin... Oh, after Liu Ju gets married, Wang Xin should also change his name to Liu Xin.

Liu Xin had just passed sixteen and was nearly nine feet tall.

He was one head shorter than Liu Ju. When the two stood together, Liu Kan couldn't help but say: These two people really look like a father and son.

Liu Xin also took a fierce approach, and the weapons he used were also maces.

However, compared with Liu Ju's mace, Liu Xin's weapon was obviously one size smaller and weighed a hundred kilograms. When the two of them competed, they heard the sound of weapons colliding. The roars continued and loud noises made the people watching the battle tremble.

Under Liu Ju, he went through fifty rounds and was unbeaten.

Nowadays, there is a saying of "Three Bears of Liu" in the Lou Cang Barracks.

Some people even joked: The Liu family's three bears, the giant bear is the best. In other words, in everyone's eyes, Liu Ju's lethality is the first.

Of course, no one is perfect.

Liu Ju also has a huge flaw, that is, he is not good at horse fighting. However, Liu Ju doesn't care about it. Horse fighting cannot be done, but we are the first in the infantry battle.

Haha, that's enough!

Five days before the wedding day, there are already lights and decorations in front of the Liu Mansion in Lou Cang.

Liu Kan took Han Xin and Sima Xi and left the mansion early in the morning and went to the military camp to inspect. According to the Qin Dynasty's laws and regulations, Liu Kan, the Sishui commander, had a school of troops. However, the Lao Fu camp was different from the ordinary army. According to the Qin Dynasty's military system, the Lao Fu camp belonged to other departments of the army. This "other unit" made the Lao Fu camp essentially different from other troops.

The average school has a total of 2,500 people.

The local defenders were about two thousand.

But the Laoqian camp now has 4,000 soldiers, including 800 cavalry, a team of chariots, and about 2,500 infantrymen.

Such troops are already very sufficient in principle. However, since Liu Kan, the Sishui Commander, has covered the entire Sihong area, in the past two years, the Loucang Army has developed troops on the one hand, and fortunately, it has continuously expanded its barracks.

Today, there are four barracks in the entire Sihong area.

In addition to Lou Cang Base Camp, there are also constructions of Gaixia Camp, Dazexiang Camp, and the Qiwu Camp at the intersection of Sui River and Tang River.

There were 800 troops and horses in the three camps including Gaixia, and 2,400 were attacked together. There were 1,600 people left in the Lou Cang base camp.

In comparison, the 1,600 people in the Loucang Base Camp are the elites of the Laoqi Camp.

There were five hundred cavalrymen, ten chariots, and thousands of infantrymen. Some of them were old soldiers who accompanied Liu Kan in the northern border, and the rest were all Zhuang Dings drawn from the Liu family farm. These people only obeyed Liu Kan, and were commanded by Zhongli Meiguanying and Lu Shizhi respectively.

In addition, there are 400 private soldiers in the Liu family's farm, all of which are Liu Kan's personal guards, and they are directly commanded by Liu Kan.

Everything is normal in the construction of the barracks.

While inspecting the barracks, Liu Kan specifically observed Han Xin who was following him. The sixteen-year-old Han Xin widened his eyes, as if he was full of curiosity about everything in the barracks. He occasionally spoke, and the questions he asked were also very constructive.

This guy may be really born for war.

When Liu Kan thought of this, she couldn't help but feel more anticipated. If the world is really turbulent, this guy would be enough to stand on my own.

At noon, Liu Kan had lunch in the barracks.

The habit of the Qin Dynasty was that there were only two meals a day. One lunch and one meal in the evening.

Most ordinary people in Lou Cang maintained this habit. However, in the barracks, Liu Kan had extremely strict requirements on training, so the meal turned into three meals. This allowed the soldiers to have plenty of physical strength and completed the hard training every day.

Similarly, this is also one of the reasons why Lao Fu Camp can quickly fill up.

After inspecting the military camp, Liu Kan and Guan Ying and Zhong Limei talked alone for a while, and got on the horse and returned to the city.

Although the weather is still very cold, the willows by the river have already shown a hint of green. The spring in Lou Cang comes more early than in the north. On the 49th day, there were a few ducks on the river, playing happily, making people feel that the pace of spring is approaching.

"Three or two peach blossoms outside the bamboo, the spring river is warm and the duck prophet... Xizi, what are you remembering?"

Liu Kan immediately turned around and found that Sima Xi took out a wooden board covered with white paper from the bag on the horse's back, then took out a graphite pen and wrote something quickly on the white paper.

Hearing Liu Kan’s question, Sima Xi looked up and said, “The poems that the master just now are quite unrhythm, but they are unique… Jia Zuo said a few days ago that he asked me to pay more attention to his master’s articles. He liked the thousand-character texts he made very much, so he asked me to memorize them at any time.

Master, the sentence you just now seems to have a follow-up, why not recite it together?"

This guy looks like a clerk.

Sima Xi studied with Zhang Cang in his early years, and later studied with Cheng Miao. It can be said that he was a scholar among the younger generation of Lou Cang.

Liu Kan smiled and said, "This is not a poem I wrote. It's just that I feel the scenery in front of me..."

"Whose poem is that?"

"this……"

Liu Kan didn't know how to answer at once. After all, the person who wrote this poem was Su Shi and Su Dongpo, a great writer more than a thousand years later.

But how could he know if you talked to Sima Xi about Su Dongpo?

"The reed buds on the ground are all over the wormwood, which is exactly when the puffer fish is about to rise!" After chanting the last two sentences, Liu Kan no longer paid attention to Sima Xi, turned to Han Xin and said, "Xin, looking at the scenery, it is spring that has arrived... How about it, what have you gained and experienced over the past year?"
To be continued...
