Chapter 58 Liu Zhuang: Father, mother...

On the sky screen, a situation map appeared on the sky.

Four red arrows surround the Western Region.

……

[Because the Northern Xiongnu repeatedly invaded the Han Dynasty border, the lives and property of the people in Hexi County suffered heavy losses. The soldiers and civilians had to stay behind closed doors and did not even dare to open the city gates in broad daylight. This situation lasted for several years. 】

[In the spring of 73 AD, Emperor Liu Zhuang of the Han Dynasty ordered Dou Gu and Geng Bing to form a coalition with the Southern Xiongnu, Qiang, Xianbei, etc., and attack in four directions from Jiuquan, Juyan, Gaoque, and Pingcheng to comprehensively counterattack the Northern Xiongnu]

……

The canopy continues to play,

The camera focused on the Western Region, and after passing through the clouds and fog, it focused on a group of cavalry.

All the cavalry are jumping on their horses and whipping their whips.

Crossing the dunes filled with yellow sand, the oases with lush water and grass, and the nomadic herders driving cattle, sheep and camels.

Finally, he entered an ancient city with all his travel dust.

"Shanshan"

The scene changes.

In an exotic courtyard, more than thirty soldiers were drinking and eating meat.

Sitting at the top was an elegant general wearing crimson armor and a military crown.

"Everyone, are you aware of Shanshan's attitude towards us recently?"

Confucian general drank a glass of fine wine, with a hint of smile in his words.

"We just arrived in Shanshan a few days ago, and Hu Nu is responsible for all the wine, meat, and fruits! Now, there is some fruit every day! There is some sand in the rice!"

One general replied angrily.

"Haha, do you know why?"

The Confucian general asked with a smile.

The generals below shook their heads, not knowing.

"Because the Huns envoy has been here for many days!"

"And the increasingly indifferent reception towards us also shows that King Shanshan has second thoughts! He treats us as if we are nothing and wants to join the Huns!"

After hearing what the Confucian general said, all the generals were filled with righteous indignation.

"bass!"

Seeing the anger on the faces of the generals, the Confucian general stood up suddenly and drew his sword!
  He cut off the desk in front of him with a sword and shouted:
  "You have traveled thousands of miles to accompany me as an envoy to the Western Regions! You must all have the desire to make great achievements and make a wife and son! You all want to achieve glory and wealth!"

The soldiers listened quietly.

"But now! The envoy from the Northern Huns has only arrived a few days ago! King Shanshan is no longer treating him with courtesy!"

"If a few more days pass, he will tie us up and send us to the Huns!"

"Isn't it true that we are just being treated like mermaids?"

"In such a bad situation, I wonder how you should deal with it?"

The Confucian general is majestic and has shining eyes.

The generals sitting at the bottom looked at each other, then all walked out of the table, knelt down on one knee and raised their hands to the Confucian general at the top and shouted in unison:
  "When we are in danger, we all listen to Ban Sima's wishes!"

After hearing this, the Confucian general stood up with a sword in his hand.

"If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you catch the tiger's cubs?"

"The only way at this time is to strike first!"

"If we attack the Huns tonight, they will be in panic if they don't know my details!"

"I'll take the opportunity to kill them all!"

"Once they die, the people of Shanshan will have no choice but to submit to my big man!"

"I'll be done in a minute!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a general hesitated and said:

"Ban Sima, should we discuss this matter with the supervisor?"

Hearing this, the Confucian general was furious and said:

"I'm waiting for bad luck to fight here! You are just a mediocre civil servant!"

"If he knew about this, he would definitely panic and leak military information!"

"If the news leaks, everyone will die!"

The generals looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

The scene changed, the moon was dark and the wind was high.

suddenly!

A burst of gongs and drums sounded in the night!
  Then a courtyard burst into flames!

In the gorgeous courtyard, panic and screams can be heard endlessly!
  Thirty-seven armored soldiers are killing each other!

And the people they killed were a group of luxuriously dressed Huns.

The camera focused on the leading general, and then the word "Ban Chao" appeared next to him.

The scene changed again.

The leading general threw a Hun head in front of a foreign noble and said a few words.

The foreign noble knelt down tremblingly and bowed his head.

The screen dimmed, then lit up again, and what came into view was the map of Han Dynasty.

The Western Region, which was originally shrouded in darkness, lit up in red again along the fifty countries of the Western Region including Shanshan, Khotan, Qiuci, and Shule!
  The land of the Western Regions once again belonged to the red Han soil!
  ……

[Dou Gu led his army out of Jiuquan and defeated the Xiongnu King Huyan in the Tianshan Mountains. He left troops to garrison Iwulu City. He then dispatched the fake Sima Banchao who had abandoned his pen and joined the army for ten years, Guo Xun and his 36 soldiers. , on a mission to the Western Regions. 】

[At that time, Ban Chao arrived in Shanshan first, and King Shanshan treated him with courtesy. However, in the next few days, Shanshan's attitude became careless and neglectful. 】

[Ban Chao knew something was wrong, so he deceived the news of the arrival of the Huns envoy from the followers sent by Shanshan. 】

[Then he made a plan to strike first and kill the Huns envoys at night. 】

[This night, Ban Chao personally killed three Huns. His men killed more than 30 people, including the Huns envoys, and the remaining more than 100 Huns were killed in the sea of ​​fire. 】

[After surrendering Shanshan, he also subdued Khotan and pacified Shule. At this point, "all the countries sent their sons to serve as servants. The Western Regions were separated from the Han for sixty-five years, and finally the connection was restored."]

[In December 73 AD, Dou Gu, Geng Bing and others led the army to defeat the Northern Xiongnu again at Puleihai. They restored the Western Regions Protector and Wuji Colonel to Qiuci and Cheshi, and restored the Han Dynasty's control over the Western Regions. rule. 】

……

{I feel that in the general public’s view of history, the Eastern Han Dynasty is about Liu Xiu’s awesome reinvention of the Han Dynasty. The next scene shows the Yellow Turban Army rebelling. There may be many people who even think that Ban Chao and Zhang Qian are figures of the same era (dog head)}
  {Teacher: “Both terms in the Eastern Han Dynasty are meaningless, only Guangwu is readable” (covering mouth and laughing)}

{Speaking of which, Ban Chao was mostly involved in beheadings and assassinations in the early stages. Can Ubisoft adapt this period of history into an Assassin's Creed movie, with the protagonist being Ban Chao or one of his assassins (dog head)}
  {@Ubisoft has helped you get here (dog head holding flowers in his mouth)}

{There’s also Ban Chao’s idol Fu Jiezi! The envoy to Loulan killed King Loulan directly at the banquet, and then made the proton in Han become the King of Loulan! }
  {That is too derogatory to Ban Chao. Thirty-seven people entered the enemy camp like a flock of sheep. This is bravery and invincibility! Not consistent with Assassin's Creed. }
  {Ban Chao almost broke through the Western Regions on his own! }
  {Ban Chao is very strong, he can be said to be one of the T0 generals. But he has no story! When it comes to Wei Huo, he has a legendary dowry. At the age of 21, he was granted the title of wolf as a Xu. He bravely won the three armies and was demoted by the emperor. What a delightful story that combines an ethical counterattack epic and ridicule into one. Look at the class teacher again, one person can level the Western Region, awesome! Then what? No! }
  ……

Daqin·Zhangtai Palace

"nice!"

Meng Tian, ​​who was watching the sky, couldn't help but clasped his hands and sighed!

There was a sudden sound in the silent palace.

Ying Zheng, who was sitting upright and reading the memorial, couldn't help but look sideways.

"Your Majesty, I am guilty!"

As soon as the words are spoken,

Realizing that he had disturbed Ying Zheng, Meng Tian hurriedly knelt down and bowed his head.

"Forget it, this super class is indeed brave and resourceful. You generals like this kind of people the most. Get up."

Ying Zheng waved his hand and continued to look at the bamboo slips.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Meng Tian stood up and stood with his hands tied.

"The few people have seen this farming strategy, so let's do this."

Ying Zheng closed the bamboo slips.

"But before that, you must cooperate with Liu Bang to implement the Lingyi system."

"Remnants of the Six Kingdoms, huh."

……

The period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty
  "What an outstanding person!"

Liu Che sat with his hands on the case, looked at the sky and sighed.

"Why did your Majesty say this? Doesn't your Majesty also have Bowang Hou?"

Wei Zifu poured a glass of wine and spoke warmly to Liu Che.

After hearing Wei Zifu's words, Liu Che picked up the wine cup and took a sip. Then he sighed and said:

"I have Zhang Qian, and Liu Zhuang has Ban Chao."

"Both of them are momentary heroes, rare to find."

"But..." Liu Che looked at the sky and said in a daze:
  "Although Zhang Qian's trip broke the right arm of the Xiongnu, in the end he ended up with foreign barbarians through generous bribes and wasted countless gold and silk."

"But Ban Chao led thirty-six soldiers, reached into the tiger's den, burned and killed the Xiongnu, which shows his courage!"

"If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't catch the tiger's cubs. You can't reach this level without extraordinary intelligence!"

Wei Zifu listened silently.

I think you just care about money, right?

……

Tang Dynasty·Lizheng Hall

"Chen Tang killed Shanyu, Fu Jiezi assassinated Loulan, Feng Fengshi defeated Shache, and Ban Chao conquered the Western Regions, all of which were outstanding achievements of the Han Dynasty!"

Li Shimin hugged Li Mingda and looked at the sky together.

"But it's a pity that once Ban Chao died, the rebellion in the Western Regions returned. This is all due to the emphasis on force and the underestimation of civil rule."

"Then does your Majesty have any clever ideas?"

Queen Changsun asked softly while embroidering her purse.

"hehe!"

Li Erfeng wanted to twist his beard and smile, but found that Li Mingda was pressing his right hand in his arms, so he had to give up.

"Guanyin is joking, I am already the Khan of Heaven, so what clever strategy can I use!"

"They all have to listen to me!"

Li Erfeng sat up straight, like a proud big rooster.

"My father is so majestic!"

Li Mingda gave timely emotional affirmation.

"Hahahaha!"

……

On the sky, the dazzling map of the Han Dynasty slowly converged, rolled up into a bamboo slip, and then gradually disappeared.

The screen slowly dimmed, after three or five breaths.

A comet streaked across the sky.

"Tomorrow... tomorrow..."

A soft voice sounded.

The black screen gradually faded into white.

An old man wearing a cloth robe, with a foot-long beard, white temples, and a haggard face appeared among them.

He looked toward the call.

Not far away, two young couples dressed simply but whose appearance could not be seen stood still.

The woman was waving to him and calling again and again.

"Tomorrow! Tomorrow!"

The man next to the woman had a gentle smile on his face.

"Tomorrow?"

The old man looked at the young couple blankly and murmured.

After repeating two sentences, his doubtful eyes were filled with joy.

A smile appeared on the calm face!
  "Father? Mom?"

The old man walked forward quietly, his voice rising from weak to strong!

"Father! Mom!"

The old man's staggering figure gradually changed, and his rickety figure gradually became taller and straighter.

"Father! Mom!"

The tall and strong man ran hard towards the figure that was close at hand but out of reach, and the figure gradually began to become thinner.

"Father! Mom!"

The thin and frail child looked at the young couple getting closer and closer with a smile on his face, and his childish voice was full of joy of reunion!

When they were close to a few feet away, the children jumped for joy when they saw the woman’s open arms!

The screen suddenly went dark.

Then it lit up slightly again.

Through the moonlight,

An old man lying on the bed was curled up, choking and sobbing.

……

[One night in the first month of AD 74, the -year-old Han Ming Emperor Liu Zhuang had a dream. 】

[In the dream, my parents were just like they were when they were young, still healthy and happy, and I was still that little kid, and I was always happy. 】

[After waking up from the dream, Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty kept crying. After checking the calendar and knowing that the next day was a good day, he took people to the original mausoleum to pay homage to Liu Xiu and Yin Lihua. 】

[After the sacrifice was completed, after seeing the jewelry that my mother had used during her lifetime, I burst into tears again because I missed the person I saw. 】

……

{In the first month of the seventeenth year, when I visited the Yuan Mausoleum, I dreamed of the late Emperor and Queen Mother at night, as if I had been happy all my life, but now that I am at a loss, I am so sad that I cannot sleep! }

{Putting aside my identity, this kind of thing is really uncomfortable. If it happens to me, I will cry (crying loudly)}

{In reality, he was a generation of emperors with gray hair on his temples, but in his dreams he was still a naive child rejoicing at the knees of his parents. At night, he would still be sad and cry when he dreamed of his deceased parents. Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty also lived a glorious and majestic life, with clear rules and counterattacks. The Xiongnu regained control of the Western Regions and introduced Buddhism to support this posthumous title. }
  {This is the only time in history books that an emperor cried bitterly when he dreamed of his parents. }
  {"The late Emperor and Queen Mother are as happy as ever in my night dream"}
  {This story is nothing great, it’s just a middle-aged man over fifty who misses his parents. (sunglasses)}
  {Take off your sunglasses for me! }

{(Takes off sunglasses)(Cries loudly)}

{My parents are loving and I grew up in a warm and harmonious family atmosphere. As an emperor, I am also diligent and capable. I can really be said to be a model}

{Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty proved that a warm family has a better chance of cultivating a person with a sound personality. }
  {Through this dream, you can know that this is one of the few emperors with a warm family. }
  {Emperor Ming of the Eastern Han Dynasty is a Mingjun who is not well-known but is firmly in the top ten in terms of sagacity. }
  ……

Da Qin,

Ying Zheng looked at the crying Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty in the sky with an expression of indifference.

"Mother…"

……

Big man,

"It's so hot today, my face is covered with sweat."

As Liu Bang spoke, he wiped his face with his sleeve.

Lu Zhi, who was on the side, was wrapped in a thick cloak and didn't bother to expose him. He was just in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.

When the hall fell silent, a burst of sniffles could be heard.

Everyone couldn't help but stare at the past.

Liu Ying was seen covering her mouth with tears on her face, as if she was trying to hold back her voice.

But listening to the squeaking sound, everyone knew that they absolutely couldn't hold it back.

Looking at the eldest son with red eyes, his hands covering his mouth and whimpering.

Liu Bang and Lu Pheasant sighed together, but their eyes were soft.

"Okay, if you want to cry, just cry. If a man is upright, he should cry loudly and quickly!"

As soon as Liu Bang finished his helpless words, Liu Ying let go of her hands and cried loudly!

"Father! Mom! Ying'er doesn't want you to die!"

Seeing Liu Ying crying and beating her chest, all the ministers' eyes turned red.

Although the prince is stupid, he is extremely filial!

Seeing Liu Ying crying with tears streaming down her face, Lu Pheasant also touched the corners of her eyes.

Although Ying'er is weak, immature, cowardly, and weak...but he is a good child.

Seeing Liu Ying's nose bubbling with tears from crying, Liu Bang couldn't help laughing.

"puff…"

After half a laugh, Liu Bang quickly covered his mouth.

'It's over...'

Liu Bang's heart skipped a beat when he felt the gazes coming from all directions in the hall.

'Who will save Nai Gong! '

'The Duke makes you king! '

……

[In August 75 AD, Liu Zhuang died in the front hall of the East Palace in Luoyang at the age of forty-eight. His posthumous title was Emperor Xiaoming, his temple name was Xianzong, and he was buried in Xianjie Mausoleum]

 Liu Zhuang, an emperor who "is good at fighting but has no great achievements".

  His posthumous title is indeed worthy of his name, but it is difficult to say who will use this posthumous title in the future.
