Mythical big man, champion soldier saint

Chapter 293 Grand Ceremony Opening 【Ticket Request】

A skinny hand with bulging veins on the back, as if exhausting all its strength, grabbed a bone crown full of feathers and slowly put it on the top of the head.

It was a woman, ageless, she seemed very old, with the yellow-brown skin of old people.

But his eyes are bright, and he doesn't seem to be as old as he looks.

She is the new great shaman of the Huns, Puguna.

She was very thin, tall, and wore a shamanic robe made of feathers.

The shamanism believed by the Huns can connect life and death. Because of this, the higher the shaman practice, the older they generally look, as if standing between life and death.

Puguna is actually less than fifty, but looks like a seventy-year-old woman.

When she put on the bone crown exclusive to the great shamans of the past, shaman mantras appeared on her face and between her eyebrows, and her nails grew rapidly, then bent and curled.

Boom boom boom!
In the big tent of the royal court in Ulabaatar, the sound of shaman's leather drum beating sounded, and the surrounding area was full of wolf smoke.

The whole of Ulaanbaatar is shrouded in a misty atmosphere, like nothingness.

The power of heaven and earth on the grassland is also changing for the coronation of the new shaman.

The bones, blood vessels, and spiritual consciousness in Puguna's body are all fused with the bone crown on the top of his head.

"I...after being buried for many years...returned to the world."

Puguna's voice was cold, and his eyes turned completely black.

This is a sentence that every great shaman will say after inheriting the bone crown for the first time.

All shamans believe that the words engraved in the bone crown and handed down to each successor of the shaman come from the original shaman god.

His soul has never been extinguished.

Puguna raised his eyes and looked to the south.

In Ulaanbaatar in August, the green grass is undulating and the wind is howling.

In Puguna's eyes, in the direction of Han, the purple air is like a tide.

The national destiny of the Han people is surging like a boundless ocean, overflowing continuously, and is about to submerge the Xiongnu and even neighboring countries.

The weather displayed by Han is extremely frightening.

"The Han people are about to hold a grand ceremony called Fengchan to worship the heaven and the earth."

Yi Zhi leaned to one side, with a serious face: "If the fate of the Han people increases, it will be even more difficult for all the tribes in our grassland."

Puguna squinted his eyes and said: "The grand ceremony for the Han people to communicate with the world will not be so easy..."

After she finished speaking, she slowly turned her head and looked towards the north.

"You may sense, what the hell is Judu doing?" Yizhi asks obliquely.

Puguna: "When he reappears, he will become the greatest warrior of the shaman god in the world, possessing the same power as gods and demons."

----

Evening sunset.

When people from Xianbei, Fuyu, and Wuhuan tribes approached, they could only see a lot of Han troops from a distance, people from the clan gathered around the square in front of Ganquan Palace, the atmosphere was noisy and enthusiastic.

They wanted to get closer, but the Custodians kept them out:

"Champion Hou Chuan learned the archery skills of the Forbidden Army. If you are not deployed by the Forbidden Army, how can you watch it at will."

Coincidentally, Tong Xuan, a general of the Forbidden Army, passed by. When he saw these descendants from foreign tribes, he thought for a while and said:
"Your Majesty summoned, Lang Zhongling has left. Let Xianbei, Fuyu and other tribes go and have a look, so that they can know my Han riding and shooting methods."

People from Fuyu and Xianbei tribes were released and allowed to move forward.

The imperial guards and members of the clan who surrounded Huo Qubing also dispersed because Huo Qubing had left.

On the school field in front of the palace gate, only the targets left after the attack have not been cleaned up.

During the hunting process, the Xianbei warrior who shot and killed a tiger was called Hegu Huaishan.

He has a well-proportioned physique, two short beards on his upper lip, and narrow and long eyes.The thumb of his bow-drawing right hand wears a bow ring, and the rest of the fingers, especially the belly, have obvious calluses.

This shows that he often practices bow and archery.

He came to the shooting position, looked at the target position, it was Baizhang target.

The distance is very long, and it is difficult for even a sharpshooter to hit the heart.

Hegu Huaishan curled his lips and said proudly: "At this distance, I can hit nine out of ten targets! And it's on the grassland, where the wind is stronger than here."

He spoke rather poor Chinese, and after speaking, he looked at the few Han troops who hadn't left not far away.

After some tribes such as Fuyu, Wuhuan, and Xianbei surrendered, one of the surrender orders they received required them to learn Chinese.

Dong Zhongshu and others discussed the strategy of taking over the various ministries and asked Huo Qubing to give his opinions.

Huo Qubing's original words were "Let all surrendered ministries learn Chinese".

After learning Chinese, it is beneficial to educate the people of these tribes and let them understand Han culture.

So now I have surrendered to various ministries, and I can often see people learning to speak Chinese.

After the words of the Xianbei warrior Hegu Huaishan fell, several Han soldiers at the side turned their heads to look over at the same time, looking up and down, with proud expressions:

"Nine out of ten targets? You?"

"The few of us are staying to collect the target, you can come and take a look."

People from Fuyu, Xianbei and other tribes followed a few Han troops and headed for the archery target in the distance.

When I got close, I found a total of four target positions, placed in a row in parallel.

On the first archery target, there was an arrow stuck in it, and it hit three points.

"This first target was shot by the army in our battalion."

The Han army leading the way was a young man who looked only eighteen or nineteen years old: "The other three targets were shot by Huo Hou during his demonstration of archery."

Hegu Huaishan and the others looked at the second and third targets.

There is an arrow on each target.

One of them went deep into the heart of the arrow, half of the arrow shaft passed through the target, and it was very powerful.

The arrow on the third target is exactly the same.

A group of people did not discover the mystery at first glance.

Only Hegu Huaishan was thoughtful and thought of the key point.

The point is that there is no difference between the arrows on the two targets. The depth and position of the target are as if they have been measured with the most precise ruler.

The depth and accuracy of the archery hitting the target are the same twice... It is much more difficult than hitting the bull's-eye with two arrows at the same time.

Even if it is a simple matter, it is very difficult to repeat it twice before and after, and it is very difficult to be completely consistent, not to mention hitting the target with long-distance archery.

Hegu Huaishan was silent after watching it.

"These two arrows are the direction that Lang Zhongling asked our Han army to practice arrows in the next stage. Are you convinced or not?"

Several Han soldiers came to the last target with honor:
"This last target was also shot by the general, you guys look over there..."

Around the school yard in the front hall of Ganquan Palace, there are many towering ancient trees, crowned like canopies, covering the sky and the sun.

Looking along the target, one can see that an arrow pierced through the bull's-eye, then shot through the flank of a giant tree, and was finally nailed to the outer wall of Ganquan Palace.The feathers on the tail of the arrow sway in the breeze.

"Our plans had to be adjusted."

Xianbei, Fuyu, and the Wuhuan tribe, after seeing the arrows on the shooting range, withdrew silently, and only discussed in low voices when they reached a place where no one was around.

Hegu Huaishan was actually chosen by them to take advantage of the hunting opportunity to demonstrate the strength of the various ministries.

They planned to challenge Huo Qubing at the dinner after the hunt, using Xing's name.

Not expecting to win.

However, relying on Huo Qubing's status and reputation in the Han army, as long as he wins the chance of a battle and does not lose too ugly, they can achieve their goal.

For these nomadic peoples, showing strength and then relying on strength to obtain equal distribution of resources will always be the norm they follow.

They want to fight for some benefits for their tribe after surrendering to the Han, so they are well prepared.

However, after seeing Huo Qubing's surgery, several people were a little discouraged.

"Attach the arrow with the mind. After the arrow is shot, it can still influence the arrow with the power of the mind to make the two arrows the same. This kind of power is terrible. I can confirm that compared with the champion Hou great."

Hegu Huaishan said calmly: "Don't challenge him anymore, let's find someone else."

The others followed suit and nodded: "I asked someone to inquire about it. When he was hunting with the emperor in the morning, he also shot down a flying eagle, piercing through the eagle's eyes."

Judging from the current situation, challenging the champion Hou will not only fail to show bravery, but will also bring shame on himself.

Outside Ganquan Palace, when Zhang Cigong, Li Gan and others came back, they also brought back large prey.

Two days of hunting passed in a blink of an eye.

On the third night, the last day of hunting, the emperor hosted a banquet for his ministers and all the tribes invited to participate in the hunting.

People from various ministries took the opportunity to invite the battle to add to the fun, and Hegu Huaishan and others changed their targets to Zhang Cigong and Li Gan.

During the banquet, swords and swords crisscrossed, fighting and fighting, which made people emotional.

As the emperor drove the Ganquan Palace, the center of gravity of the Han Dynasty's various affairs also shifted.

There are urgent reports sent to Ganquan Palace every day.

At the end of August, there were still frequent news of success in the Western Regions.

In the Congyuan Kingdom in the southwest corner of the Western Regions, in the morning, Fu Luzhi, Chen Qing, and Zhao Anji were riding on horses.

"Hou Ye sent an order to let us go back to Chang'an to report on our duties. The follow-up matter will be taken over by the prefect of Xiguanzhang, and the army will not retreat in the short term."

Zhao Anji said: "But the Western Regions are at the stage where it is almost done."

"I heard that the Zen Conferring Ceremony will be held. The general hopes that we can go back and participate in such a grand event."

Chen Qing took out a small bronze mirror, looked at his face, and said:
"This Western Region is not a place for people to stay. It can kill people at noon, and clothes can be roasted with open flames. Fighting everywhere during this time, I seem to be a lot darker."

"You are not white."

Fu Luzhi glanced at the city behind him, and said disdainfully: "This Congyuan kingdom has sent several calls to surrender, but there is no response. We must bring troops here, kill people and destroy the city before surrendering in fear."

"Until the end, who would be willing to give up their authority?"

Zhao Anji was a little excited: "This battle is thanks to the ability of my subordinates to fly over the walls. First step into the city to defeat the enemy and open the gate of Congyuan King City. Otherwise, if we want to capture Congyuan, it will not be so fast and the loss is so small. .

Hou Ye said that he had developed some new weapons and equipped them for us when we got back. "

"Taking the onion yuan, only the westernmost Dawan is left in the Western Regions, and three or four countries such as the Western Rao and Qiang have not surrendered."

"Hou Ye means to keep these countries first, and probably has other considerations. Let us leave for Chang'an within two days."

Early September.

There were three people who came out of Weiyang Palace and left Chang'an City all the way.

These three were the emperor, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing.

Because the Fengchan Grand Ceremony is approaching, a lot of preparations are needed, and the three of them have just returned to Chang'an from Ganquan Palace.

After leaving the city, the three people in plain clothes came to the outskirts of the city.

But seeing the fields, the people are rushing, and the carts and horses pulling dung can be seen everywhere, which is a busy scene.

Dong Zhongshu took Huo Guang and several other officials to investigate here.

The season of autumn harvest.

"Your Majesty, since Zhang Qian came back from the Western Regions, we have discovered a lot of patterns in some fruits and vegetables that have been planted around Chang'an in the past few years.

For example, the grapes that His Majesty likes to eat need to be covered with a trellis to maintain sufficient sunlight, the soil should be loose, and the water permeability should be good.With the help of my farming method, I push the air flow of the earth veins to pour in, and the fruit that grows can be grown in a few months, and the harvest is not bad. "

Beside Dong Zhongshu is Da Si Nong, one of the Nine Ministers.

He was born as a merchant, but he practiced the art of farming and knew how to farm.

At this time, he took off his shoes and socks, and had just returned from checking the soil in the field to report to the emperor.

The emperor, Huo Qubing, Wei Qing, Dong Zhongshu and others walked slowly to check.

When the products are plentiful and the family has surplus food, people's hearts will be stable, and the country will be stable and unshakable.

Huo Guang followed step by step at the end of the team, keeping what he saw and heard in his heart, digesting it slowly, and gradually forming his own cognition.

It's near the end of September.

The day of the Fengchan Grand Ceremony, taking an even number, is set in October.

After entering September, people from all over the Han Dynasty began to gather in Chang'an.

Including counties and states from all over the country, the ministries of Fuyu in the Northeast, and the countries in the Western Regions, adjusted as representatives of the counties, also came to Chang'an one after another.

For a time, the whole world gathered in Chang'an.

Early autumn season.

The emperor's guard of honor left Chang'an, the capital of the country, and headed for Mount Tai in the east, which kicked off the ceremony of enshrining Zen.
