Destiny Only Han

Chapter 571 (True) Liu Ying: I am in the midst of thousands of people, feeling the glory...

Chang'an City, Central Avenue.

In the early morning, the sun rises in the east, and the dawn lifts a layer of veil covering the earth.

The entire avenue has been arranged overnight, and there are clusters of flowers, red, pink, yellow, purple and other seasonal flowers of various colors are competing to bloom. All kinds of landscape designs are unique in shape, one by one, clusters, full of vitality.

Today is the day when the army of the Northern Expedition officially held a triumphant celebration.

After all, Liu Ying spent a lot of money to build a triumphal arch on Central Avenue. If the army commander didn't walk under the gate, wouldn't the money be wasted?
As a result, a total of [-] soldiers lined up at the northernmost point of Chang'an City, waiting for the formal start of the ceremony.

As the commander-in-chief of the West Route Army, Liu Ying was naturally among them.

It's just that for some reason, he deliberately kept several positions with Liu Bang, and kept smiling with him, while cryptically reminding the other party that everyone is looking at him here, so don't make any fools that become the jokes of the residents of Chang'an City...

Liu Bang glared at Liu Ying bitterly, picked up the helmet with the whip in his hand, and moved his gaze to the other side.

Yesterday during the day, he was caught by his own father and his father-in-law and cleaned up, and at night, he was scolded by his wife for half an hour...

This hatred, he remembered!

Liu Ying breathed a sigh of relief, Chang'an City is not the northern frontier, here he has backers everywhere, as long as he can escape today, it is not easy to clean up Han Gaozu!
So he held the helmet in his left hand, and his expression became solemn.

Seeing the emperor without a helmet, this is a rule that has been passed down since the Spring and Autumn Period.

It's not just him, the soldiers in the formation also only wear the kuanben, but apart from the Langzhong cavalry and Liu Ying's young army cavalry wearing new woolen uniforms, they also wear old-style military uniforms, colorful and colorful, which can force people to death. disease, it is like the resurrection of the terracotta warriors and horses, re-entering the world!
Liu Ying glanced back lightly, complaining about those unreliable marketing accounts in her heart.

Is Qin Jun's most powerful arrow formation?

No!

What Qin Jun is best at is just as written in the novel "The Great Qin Empire" and some related historical materials, hand-to-hand combat!

Well, the information used in many old rumors is actually not wrong, but it is too outdated, not updated in time and witnessed the follow-up excavation.

After all, at the beginning, only a small part of the terracotta warriors and horses were dug, three rows of crossbowmen plus three rows of light soldiers plus three rows of heavy infantry, so there was the Qin Army's star-killing crossbow. Wearing armor is to save physical energy, and there are many rhetoric such as cutting off a few heads and hanging them around the waist.

But the crux of the problem is that behind these nine platoons of infantry, there are dozens of platoons of heavy infantry densely packed!
In other words, when the Qin army was fighting, there would be at most two or three rounds of arrow rain, and then the group of hard-wearing heavy infantry began to rush forward...

Under the pressure of the Qin Law formulated by Shang Jun, none of the six Shandong countries can stop this kind of group charge of "the people hear the war like a wolf sees the meat"!

When the chime bell on Central Avenue rang nine times in succession, the triumphant celebration officially began.

In an instant, the rumble of war drums resounded through the sky, and at the outermost side of the central avenue, cheered by the residents of Chang'an City holding bouquets and ribbons, Liu Bang, wearing his extremely flamboyant golden helmet and armor, rode forward with his head held high.

Behind him are Lu Wan, the Taiwei, and Liu Ying, the prince and the commander of the West Route Army.

It's just that compared with those two flamboyant men, Liu Ying's suit of armor is relatively low-key, but it's actually extremely luxurious!

For example, the pearls on his cloak are Hepu pearls that sell for tens of thousands of dollars...

Moreover, it is still a one-in-a-million trick!

In Liu Ying's low-key flaunting of wealth, Liu Bang looked at the reliefs on the Arc de Triomphe and nodded frequently.

On this point, Liu Ying did it very generously. She didn't just praise herself, but also counted Liu Bang's great achievements.

For example, interpreting the prisoner, breaking the snake talisman, entering the pass to destroy Qin, and unifying Liuhe...

After those huge reliefs, it is Liu Ying's own great achievements.

For example, the supervising army destroyed Qi, beheaded Xiang Yu, captured the Di people, pacified South Vietnam, and conquered the Huns in the north...

Amidst the sound of gongs and drums and the fluttering of flags, the troops participating in the triumphant celebration passed through the central avenue one by one. They did not stop at the large square between Weiyang Palace and Changle Palace in the south of the city, but followed Liu Bang and continued southward.

pole temple.

In other words, Taimiao.

When the self-ringing bell outside Changle Palace rang eleven times in a row, the army slowly marched to the Taimiao, where cavalry and infantry phalanxes lined up row upon row, connected end to end, and stretched out for seven or eight miles!
At the gate of Taimiao, Liu Taigong led Liu Fei, Liu Ruyi, Liu Heng, and Liu Hui and Liu You, who were babbling, standing in awe. Witch of Liang and Jing.

In the sound of Shaoyue, Liu Bang got off his horse and led Liu Ying into the Taimiao. First, he saluted Liu Taigong, who was wearing a heavenly crown and black clothes with twelve chapter patterns, and then went straight into the Taimiao to greet those Liu Bang himself has no impression of the ancestors and ancestors reporting the results of this personal expedition to the Northern Expedition!
A moment later, Liu Bang led Liu Ying out of the Taimiao, and the witches of Qin, Jin, Liang, and Jing began to dance their respective dances, muttering words, and communicating with different gods respectively.

At this moment, the heads of King Loufan and King Aries who had been beheaded earlier were placed in a box and presented up. After that, the faces of King Dingling and King Lanshi who were tied up were solid and ashen-faced. , front left and right big households these four people.

The reason why I say before is because Mo Dun has quickly selected new candidates, and he doesn't care about buying these people. On the contrary, he wants to exchange cattle and sheep for the ordinary people who were caught by Liu Ying before. Hun prisoners of war.

But Liu Ying did not agree.

Because of this, these four people have lost their united front value and will become the next sacrifices!

Although there were Zhou rituals in this period, human martyrdom was not common, but it was a matter of course to use the heads of enemies to sacrifice flags and ancestors of gods. Moreover, the Huns also had blood debts in their hands when they killed and plundered the border.

Blood debt, natural blood repayment!
When the sacrificial dance came to an end, four fat and strong men with guillotines in their hands came over, knocked Lanshi Wang and others to the ground like catching chicks, and raised the knives in their hands. , Heads rolled, and several ceremony officials in white sacrificial attire held bronze sacrificial vessels and stepped forward to catch the gurgling blood.

This is called blood food.

The blood of cattle and sheep is usually used in sacrifices, but in today's ceremony of offering captives to the Taimiao, the blood of the enemy is naturally used.

It can be regarded as a joke about thirsting for the blood of the Huns...

And next, is the official prisoner offering ceremony.

The group of Xiongnu Qianchang, Xiaowang, Duwei and others who were captured from the mountain were also tightly tied up, and they walked over from Chang'an City with their heads downcast.

But they were actually relieved.

The Han officials who imprisoned them said that as long as they behave obediently and go through this set of procedures honestly and in accordance with the requirements, they can survive. Road, but they can survive, that's the most important thing!
Therefore, when they looked at the heads that were protruding from the height and still had blood flowing out, they became more trembling and at the same time, they were not without joy in their hearts.

Fortunately, their status is not high, and they are not the ones who died.

Changle Palace, Xuanshi Palace.

When the two-foot-tall chiming bell outside rang five times, the last part of the whole triumphant celebration began.

eat.

This is the tradition of the Chinese, and even of any nation in the world. All festivals end with a big meal...

However, China is a country of ceremonies, and the Han Empire spread its prestige in all directions, with many subordinate states, so today's celebrations are naturally indispensable to them.

So under the communication between Liu Ying and Uncle Sun Tong Feige in advance, there is today's Yanle.

The so-called Yan music refers to the new court music formed during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the folk music of the Han nationality was integrated with the folk music of other nationalities in the territory and foreign folk music.

Therefore, not only the dancers selected from kingdoms with different surnames or the same surname in the Han Empire, such as Yan, Zhao, and Qi, but also Da Yueshi, Xianbei, Fuyu, Sushen, etc. Such foreign nations belonged to the country, as well as foreign nations such as the Xiongnu, Di people, Ji people, and Baiyue who were either captured or conquered.

It's just that the dancers dressed up as Di people are actually Han people. After all, after Liu Ying conquered the Di people, he followed the principle of keeping people behind, and digging mines and building roads is hard work. It will wither away, and there will be no one who can sing and dance anymore...

As for Diren women?

Well, women have no nationality at all.

After bursts of Huangzhong Dalu-like Shaoyue and dancers from the vassal kingdoms singing and dancing gracefully, there is a minor tune with a very national style. Teams of dancers in distinctive costumes dance lightly, which is both novel and beautiful.

After all, dancers are mostly conquerors.

It's just that when the group of men and women who were only two-thirds of the normal height came up to perform the dance, bursts of laughter suddenly burst out in the hall of Xuanshi.

These are naturally the Japanese sent by the Governor's Mansion of Whale Island.

Each of them used to be the leader of a party, or a prince and grandson, but driven by the inferiority of their nation, even if they were ridiculed by the Han people, they still smiled and their faces were full of flattery.

From Liu Ying's point of view, it can be clearly seen that when the music from his hometown sounds, the expressions of the Japanese people suddenly become solemn, and their dancing postures also become meticulous.

Perhaps, this is the spirit of craftsmanship.

When Liu Ying chatted and laughed happily with the civil and military dignitaries, vassal kings, and envoys who came over from time to time, Liu Ruyi who sat behind Liu Fei was full of envy.

He also wants to enjoy the glory enjoyed by his third brother, who is admired by everyone!
For a moment, he recalled what his mother had said.

Among all his brothers, his appearance resembles his father the most, and he is also most loved by his father!
So, that position, why can't it be his?
