The imperial court originally wanted to make the victory ceremony grander.
Situ Xuxiang set the venue at Hongdeyuan. In addition to the Dongping Army participating in the war, he planned to recruit Sanhe County soldiers to join the Eighth School of Xiyuan that was being formed. He planned to go back around the city from Nanmen Taixue and pass through Shixiang to gather.
, Shiqiao, Fan Zhuoju, when passing the White Horse Temple, eight hundred nuns in the temple sang sutras and prayed for the soldiers, and finally went to Hongde Garden to be inspected by the emperor.
The route circled Luoyang for a full week, which was a good way to show off the imperial court's illustrious martial arts to the people of the capital. Unfortunately, the idea was good, but after the plan was reported, the emperor and the Chancellor calculated the money consumption before and after, and immediately cut off all the remaining troops participating in the inspection, leaving only
The Eighth School of Xiasanqian Xiyuan and the Two Hundred Heroes of Dongping marched as planned.
The people of Luoyang, who were preparing to have a lively time, could not help but be disappointed. They couldn't help but taunted privately: The emperor's reward is already a waste of money, so where is the military expenditure? It cannot be said that the public price of Xiyuan has been sold low recently. Of course, the emperor is more than that, Cao Cao and Cao Cao
Liu Bei revealed the inside story: The emperor plans to hold another military parade in the second half of the year, but he doesn’t want to lose his prestige this time.
Even so, Liu Bei was very happy when he attended the ceremony. Riding a horse around Luoyang was already an unattainable dream when he was studying in Luoyang when he was young. When he was infected by the smiles of the people on both sides of the street, he saw the children jumping for joy in the crowd.
As a young boy, I can't help but think of: I was once among them. But I can't help but feel regretful in my heart: the horse I rode was not the horse that accompanied me on the battlefield.
After arriving at Hongde Garden, the emperor first set up an altar to worship the emperors of the Han Dynasty, and then held a ceremony to offer prisoners. Then Liu Bei ascended the altar, and the emperor gave him a seal and ribbon, announcing his promotion and appointment in public.
On this day, Liu Bei was wearing a black-edged red collar and sleeves armor, a red lacquered iron crown on his head, and shallow round-mouthed leaf-pattern boots. He was thin, with a heroic face, and was holding a sword given by the emperor. He was serious and did not dare to look at him.
.He took the seal ribbon, and the three armies cheered for him again and again, and the voices went up to the sky. Liu Bei was thinking about the sky, and he didn't know what to say, but he could only bow to the emperor three times.
But the good times are always short-lived, and the celebration only lasts for one day. After one day, Liu Bei will return to the bleak reality. Being promoted to Taiyuan Taiyuan to lead the Huns Zhonglang General sounds very majestic, and looks like the Northern Pillar of the Han Dynasty.
country. But the imperial court knew this very well, and what Liu Bei was left with was by no means a good job.
After Taiyuan County was plundered twice by nearly 200,000 rebels, except for a few aristocratic families who fled early after hearing the news, it can be said that not a single rat was found in the storage of Taiyuan people. The spring plowing has passed, and the summer harvest
There was no harvest. Even if I tried to replant, there were no seeds. When Liu Bei came to court, the streets were full of hunger and beggars. It was really an apocalyptic scene.
The imperial court was still concerned about this and exempted Taiyuan County from paying taxes for two years. As for adjusting grain and providing disaster relief, it was unable to help. His mentor Lu Zhi said to him: "The nine states are turbulent, and the eight wastelands are using force. The people's livelihood is like steaming, and the people are dying like hemp.
A gentleman should be the first in the world and do not care about money. It was my fault that I did not know your talents before. Now I am proud of you. You must not disappoint me." So he used the connections of the minister to raise thirty gold and gave it to his disciples.
, Liu Bei agreed.
Liu Bei stayed in Luoyang for another two days, waiting for the reward promised by the court to be distributed. He took both his share and Chen Chong's share, then took the gift from his mentor and led his troops to the millet market to buy grain. p>
Nowadays, even if you have money, you can't buy food in Taiyuan. As Luoyang is the imperial capital, the import and export of rice and food are huge, and the price is cheaper than that of the whole country. One million five baht can be exchanged for ten thousand stone of food and grass overnight.
The Dongping Army escorted the annexation, and even the freight was saved. But as for how useful it was, Liu Bei knew very well that it was just a drop in the bucket.
Chen Chong was also very anxious about this, but as the governor of Xihe, he also had things that he had to complete first.
Xihe Meiji, Chen Chong once again entered the Shanyu King's tent. This was his first time here to discuss matters. But for the new Shanyu Yufuluo, this was part of his past life habits, but now he feels deeply about things.
Right and wrong, nearly half of the kings discussing matters in the tent have been replaced, and he ordered the execution of two-thirds of them, but his dead father will never come back.
He felt that he had lost a part forever and gained a part forever. He was completely different from the former Zuoxian Wang Yufuluo.
The kings currently participating in the discussion are: Liu Bao, the Xian king of the new left, Huchuquan, the Xian king of the right, Liu Xuan, the Richu king of the New Zuo, Anhe, the right Richu king, Mo Yue, the Guli king of the New Zuo, Yuledu, the Huyan king, and Zhelan.
Wangpo Lishi, Qiulin Wanggutusheng, Youguli Wang Outuoquan and Daqiequ Zhiyasi.
In addition, there are Dugu Guduhou Liwei, Danyu Guduhou Yue, Yuwen Guduhou Qiwei, Liji Guduhou Punu, Helian Guduhou Luohou, Hudu Guduhou Xiuli, Xianxian
Thirteen most of the Guduhous include Guduhou Chelin, Xubuguduhou Shizi and so on.
Except for Liu Xuan and Liu Bao, all the kings and princes present were silent in front of Xin Shanyu and Chen Chong, saying nothing. The rebellion was disastrous for the livelihood of the Han people in Bingzhou, but for the kingship of the Xiongnu
, but it is an unprecedented expansion.
King Xiutu, King Julong, the left and right generals, and other kings were directly abolished, and their lower subordinates were directly divided into the direct subordinates of Fuluo. When the Qiangqu Chanyu was alive, the people who could directly govern were only about 100,000 people in Xihe and the western part of Shangjun. Today,
Yufuluo Chanyu not only recovered them all, but also expanded to the west of Sheyan and the north of Dingxiang. He had 300,000 people under his command, accounting for half of the Xiongnu.
Yesterday, the imperial court sent envoys to enshrine Chanyu, which was different from the slightly shabby celebration in Luoyang. Yufuluo was in high spirits, set up an altar south of Meijima City, summoned 50,000 Xiongnu tribesmen to come to watch the ceremony, and invited
Chen Chong and Bai Bo took the stage together.
The ceremony was extremely extravagant. The altar was covered with a long carpet made of white deerskin. There was a long table in the center with incense candles made from whale oil from the East China Sea. The table seats on both sides were also equipped with gold lamps. And Yuvluo
Wearing a crimson cloak with a tiger and a wolf in his arms, wearing a red eagle gold crown on his head, and holding a golden knife with a sun-patterned eagle beak, he slaughtered a gray wolf in public, cut the wolf meat into strips and fed it to the snow kites captured by the royal court.

The snow kites fluttered away, and the formal ceremony came next. Tens of thousands of knights rode horses and roared past in front of the altar. Tens of thousands of horses galloped. Such a scene was like wearing a strong wind.
I wonder whether it is the army galloping past, or whether I am being trampled by the horses.
But the real highlight is yet to come. The knight passed by and another horse galloped far in front of the altar. It was six feet tall at the shoulders. Its body was dark, except for its brows, which were as white as noon clouds. Chen Chong recognized the horse's name, "Yuledu".
"Thinking", Yuvluo once explained to him that in Hun language he means "the unstoppable incarnation of the stars".
Now this "Star Incarnation" gallops excitedly on the grassland, without a bridle or saddle, only a long rope made of beef tendon tied around the horse's waist. At the end of the long rope is tied a man's hands.
Chen Chong looked at him from a distance. Although he couldn't see his face clearly, he could vaguely recognize him from his clothes and body shape. It was Huliba, the former Xiutu King.
Huliba's life was kept until this day by Yuvluo. It was at this time that he was going to be punished. He came up with such an ingenious method to gag him, cover his face with a black cloth, and tie him tightly to Yuldus.
After his death, Yu Ledu thought that as the King of Horses, no one among the Huns could control him. Now that he was suddenly free, he was so happy that he immediately galloped on the horse farm.
Although Huliba was a famous warrior of the Southern Huns, how could he compare to King Ma's strength? He was immediately dragged to the ground. Once he fell, he never had the chance to stand up again.
In terms of the horses Chen Chong had seen, the only one that could compare with Yu Ledusi was the red rabbit. Now Yu Ledusi was having fun, really galloping like lightning, not caring about the terrain, sometimes crossing ravines, sometimes running uphill
Stone hills, sometimes passing through green forests, and horses galloping were originally a refreshing scene, but now it made everyone present feel scared.
Yule Dusi galloped for an hour, and when it returned to the stage, it neighed in a low voice with pride. Huliba behind him was no longer human. After an inspection, a person in charge came up to the stage and reported: The whole body was covered with bloodstains, and the knee joints were all covered with blood.
His bones were even exposed, one eye was blinded on his face, and his jaw was dislocated due to severe pain.
The pain was so severe that Huliba couldn't even scream.
Humphrey was very satisfied with this and ordered the witch doctor to come forward to treat him. He threw him into the stable at night and waited to do the same thing again tomorrow.
The last step of the ceremony was for all the kings to walk a mile to the stage to repent to the new chanyu and pray for forgiveness. The prince Yufuluo who could be killed before had already been killed, and the remaining ones were all those who promised to forgive, but Huli
The current situation of Fu Luo was greatly shocked. As he walked for a mile, many princes' knees were bruised and bloody, but the princes could only keep silent. As for Fu Luo, no one dared to look up.
That night, Huliba died of pain in the stable.
Chen Chong once heard the Xianbei people say: "Only the Wolf King can decide the fate of the wolves. What can bring glory and dreams to the knights must be the blood of heroes."
There was silence in the big tent. He looked at the Hun princes and couldn't help but think of these words, which made him look sideways at the new Chanyu beside him.
The new Chanyu's face resembled the angular edges of the terracotta warriors and horses, but his eyes were full of chilling and brutality, which made Chen Chong worry about Bingzhou's future again.
