Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

Chapter 717 Qingzuka left a poem to cross the Black River

Traveling through mountains and valleys to Jingmen,
There is still a village where Ming Fei grows up.

As soon as I went to Zitai Lianshuo Desert,

The green tomb is left alone to face the dusk.

Draw pictures to understand the spring breeze,
The ringed sky returns to the soul of the night moon.

For thousands of years, the pipa has been playing nonsense,
It is clear that resentment lies within the song.

Du Fu's poem "Ode to Ancient Relics" is about a poor woman: Wang Zhaojun. I recall that when a daughter of the Wang family grew up, she was selected as a palace maid in Yeting. However, she was not favored by the emperor because she refused to bribe the painter Mao Yanshou. Finally, she was given to the Xiongnu Huhanxie Chanyu by the Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty, and she remained. There are a series of legends such as Zhaojun leaving the fortress and the wild geese falling on the sand. "Green Tomb" is the tomb of this poor woman. "The grass in the north is all white, but the grass on Zhaojun's tomb is as green as grass, so it is named Green Tomb." There are many poems about the "Green Tomb" in the past dynasties, such as "The green tomb left behind by the dead makes people sigh", "Whose green tomb is young", etc., which are very sad, but they cannot describe the sadness of the beloved. In the second year of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Huhanxie Chanyu passed away. She wrote to the Han court asking for her return, but was ordered by Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty to "follow Hu customs" and remarry Huhanxie Chanyu's eldest son, Fuzhuli Chanyu, and she could never return to the Central Plains. .

It was unfortunate for the Yi people, but the war between the Han and Xiongnu tribes was eliminated. The herdsmen all said that Zhaojun was originally a fairy in the sky who married a Chanyu. The horse team came out of the fortress and walked to the Black River. The wind howled and the rocks and sand flew. Zhaojun played his beloved pipa. After a while, the ground was covered with grass and wild flowers bloomed. The Yinshan Mountain turned green, the black water became clear, and countless flying insects flew over. Larks, cuckoos, and magpies flew and cried above the heads of the cavalry. The Chanyu and the Xiongnu people were very happy and settled here. Later, Zhaojun and Shanyu traveled throughout the foothills of the Yin Mountains and the north and south of the desert. Wherever she went, there was abundant water and grass, and both humans and animals were prosperous. She took out a few seeds from the beautiful brocade bag and scattered them on the ground, and from then on there were crops outside the fortress. She took out a pair of golden shears from the bag, cut the sheepskin into plows, carts, sheep, and horses, and put them on the ground. It turned into an iron plow and a wooden cart, and groups of sheep, horses, and camels appeared around the wooden cart...

The Great Khan of Lotus came here with his revenge army. Strangely enough, as soon as he arrived at Qingzhong, the wind and snow in the sky suddenly subsided. Could it be that Zhaojun had a spirit and sympathized with the hard work of the army from afar?

"Today we will camp at Temur Urhu (Green Tomb is called Temur Urhu in Mongolian), seize the time to lay a pontoon bridge in the narrow water, and cross the Black River tomorrow," Sultan ordered calmly.

"Yes", the generals were ordered not to mention it.

However, the Great Khan felt nostalgic and summoned Bobei, the learned Minister of Rites, and asked: "Bobei, do you think this Zhaojun's tomb is real or fake?"

"Great Khan, my servant heard the legend on the grassland. When Zhaojun passed away, herdsmen from far and near came to pay their respects to him. They wrapped their clothes with soil and built Zhaojun's tomb one by one. There are more than ten green tombs, large and small. I can’t tell which part is true and which part is false,” Bobei answered carefully.

"Well, in my opinion, it doesn't matter whether this green tomb is true or false. What's important is that the grassland people love this strange woman. Zhaojun's tomb is not a tomb, but a symbol of peace and friendship between the Han and the Huns. I hope that one day we can unify Kyushu. Wanfang, let all ethnic groups live in harmony, and there will be no more wars from now on. Regardless of Mongols, Han, Tibetans, Manchus, or other ethnic groups, they are all the people of David, and they are as close to each other as brothers." The Great Khan suddenly sighed. At this moment, The white lotus symbolizing peace appears dimly above the head.

"Oh, you really deserve to be the great and compassionate Padmasambhava who descended to earth to save all sentient beings and show compassion! The slave is lucky enough to follow the horse tail. It is really a blessing that has been cultivated for three lives!" Bobei was so excited that tears filled his eyes. They are all little stars.

As a time-traveler, Suletan actually understands the ways of the world, so he can naturally see that part of the emotion on Bobei's face is sincere, and part of it is just to please him. But it is still very useful. Listening to nice lies is actually a kind of enjoyment. People who are used to being flattered will feel uncomfortable if they don't hear flattery one day. He waved his hand and said with a smile: "I just want all races to coexist peacefully and there will be no more wars between each other. If I want to achieve my wish, it depends on the joint efforts of you and others." "This slave is willing to be the loyal dog of the Great Khan and work hard to create a peaceful and prosperous age," Bobei said again.

"Well, okay~okay~", Sultan kept saying hello, and suddenly became interested in poetry. He ordered his bodyguard to get paper and pen, and started writing a poem:
"Reflections on Visiting Qingzuka in the North"

General's Chronicle of Snow Flying in Summer,
It was not martial arts that made Aotsuka famous.

The precious sword is accompanied by the pipa dance,
Infatuation is only for Kyushu.
-
Writing a short poem during the Northern Expedition was just a whim of the Great Khan and was not mentioned in the "Living Notes" by officials. The next day, 60,000 troops marched north from Qingzhong to cross the Heihe River. The Great Khan only had an iron horse in his heart, and he forgot about peace and non-peace.

The Heihe River, called Ikhturgen River in Mongolian, is more than 400 miles long. It originates from the Huitengliang Mountains south of Chahar Right Wing Middle Banner. It flows southwest through the southern suburbs of Guihua City and Qingzhong, and then passes through Tuoke It bends southward and flows into the Yellow River. Although this river is not long, it has a history of more than 5,000 years. It was called "Huangganshui" in the Eastern Han Dynasty, "Mangganshui" in the Northern Wei Dynasty, "Jinhe" or "Zihe" in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and "Hehe" from the late Tang to the Five Dynasties. "Luochuan", because "Heluo" means "black" in Uighur language, the name of Blackwater has come from then on, and it was called "Heihe" in the Liao Dynasty.

The endless flowing water of the Heihe River has nurtured generations of grassland people and is a witness to the vicissitudes of history. At that time, Hu Lujin, a general of the Chile tribe in the Northern Qi Dynasty, wrote "Cele Song" about the scenery of Tumochuan including the Heihe River Basin. Today, the tranquility on both sides of the Heihe River has been broken by war. The hypocritical Lotus Khan put aside his longing for peace that he had vowed yesterday, held the sword Yilit in his hand, and silently observed the soldiers crossing the river.

Six simple pontoons built with wooden rafts and sheepskin rafts have been erected in the narrow part of the Black River. The Guards were organized in units of a thousand people, and one thousand-man team passed one after another. Fortunately, due to the heavy snowstorm, the Qing army's sentinels were not sent so far, and no troops were stationed by the river.

"Our front army has passed smoothly, please ask the Great Khan to cross the river," Chang'en and Batu of the Chinese army reported. As a Great Khan, it was naturally impossible for him to cross first. He had to wait until the front army had passed and it was sure that there was no danger before crossing.

"Well, let's cross the river." Sultan smiled and mounted his horse. A bodyguard carefully held his horse and slowly crossed the pontoon.

After crossing the river and arriving at the north bank of the Black River, I saw white snow and a vast expanse of sky and earth. The Great Khan was filled with excitement and sang loudly: "Chilechuan, at the foot of Yinshan Mountain. The sky is like a dome, covering the four fields...".

"Excellent! Generous ballads continue to be circulated, and the songs of Qionglu are natural. The eternal heroic spirit of Zhongzhou has also reached the Chile River of Yinshan. Only a hero like the Great Khan can sing the heroic spirit in such a majestic ballad." Bo, the Minister of Rites Bay wasted no time in flattering.

"Hahaha~" The Great Khan of Lotus boasted that he was the emperor of the ages and an invincible hero. Bobei praised him as a great hero, which really touched his heart. He glanced at Bobei approvingly and said with a smile: "I heard that Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty patrolled along the Heihe River and met the Turk Qimin Khan here. He was solemnly received by Qimin Khan. Emperor Yangdi destroyed Nanchen, conquered Goryeo, dredged the Grand Canal, and restored the Silk Road. He was also a great hero!"

"Emperor Yang was aggressive and militaristic, and did not care about the people's strength, which made the people miserable and the country destroyed. How can I compare to you, who loved the people like a son. You are the real hero," Bobei continued to flatter. The direct shot made the Great Khan feel proud, and he raised his whip on his horse and roared: "Tonight we will camp on the north bank of the Heihe River, send three times the sentry cavalry, and clear out all the enemy sentries within a hundred miles; tomorrow morning, we will make a roundabout way to surround the Qing army. I swear to annihilate them all!"
