The six-dimensional pictures of emperors of all dynasties were exposed, and the ancestors panicked

Chapter 60 Thirteen soldiers return to Yumen!
  The play continues on the marquee,

There was a lot of discussion in Beigong Deyang Hall.

In the main hall,
  A rickety old man in his seventies, wearing a crown of virtue on his head and a soap robe outside, was holding a wat tablet and was stating his interests.

"Your Majesty, your foundation in Dabao is unstable for the first time. It is not appropriate to use weapons rashly at this time."

"The Western Region is not under the rule of my great Han Dynasty. It is not under the actual control of the emperor. Even if it is lost, it will not cause any harm."

"If we don't use weapons, the land of the Western Region will be lost. The losses will be considerable and small."

"But if we use weapons rashly, what should we do if our generals fail?"

"Your Majesty, Colonel Wuji and others have been fighting against many with a small number. It has been a long time, and Shule City is thousands of miles away. It takes a lot of time for the soldiers to come and go, and the supplies required are also incalculable and difficult to deliver. Is it worth it for a mere captain?"

The old man bowed his hands and bowed.

“What are they compared to the stability of the country?”

As soon as he finished speaking, a loud shout rang out!

"Your Majesty! These are lies to deceive the public!"

An elderly minister dressed in the same civilian attire raised his wat board and walked out of the queue and said loudly:
  "Your Majesty! This matter cannot be discussed in terms of gains and losses!"

"Your Majesty! He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world! The hearts of the military are also the hearts of the people! If Captain Wuji is not saved at this time, the rest of the generals will push back on this! Wouldn't it shake the hearts of the people?!"

"Your Majesty! Captain Wuji must be rescued!"

Liu Jin, who was dressed in court uniform, sat at the top, his imperial appearance invisible under his twelve-drop beaded crown.

But the fingers that kept tapping the sword beside him showed that the emperor sitting at the top was hesitant in his heart.

……

Daqin·Zhangtai Palace
  A father and son sat across from each other, looking at each other in silence.

"Fusu, if it were you, what would you do?"

Ying Zheng, who was wearing a golden robe and a golden crown, sat upright and looked at Fusu in front of him and asked indifferently.

"Father, my son will choose to send troops to rescue the Western Region."

Sitting opposite, Fusu, who was wearing a white robe and a jade crown, replied respectfully.

"Tell me why."

He fluttered his robe sleeves and folded his hands in front of his abdomen. Ying Zheng looked calm and his tone was as usual.

"Father, the Master said: Old people are as old as others, and young people are as young as others. This is a comparison of hearts."

"If the son is Captain Wu Ji who is guarding the Western Regions alone, then the son must hope that someone will come to rescue him. Based on this, the son thinks that the Western Regions should be rescued."

Fusu put his hands on his knees and answered Ying Zheng's questions respectfully.

"..."

Ying Zheng said nothing and looked at Fusu quietly.

"When Liu Luyuan gets her hairpin, you will marry her."

After a long silence, Ying Zheng uttered these words.

"Father?"

Fusu looked at Ying Zheng in shock. Liu Luyuan was eleven years old this year, and he was already twenty-four!
  There is a thirteen year gap between the two!
  "The difference between Emperor Guangwu and Queen Guanglie is only ten years."

Ying Zheng gave a rare explanation, and then raised his hand to stop Fusu who wanted to say something else.

"That's settled the matter, please step back."

Although the sound is soft, it is full of unquestionable majesty.

Fusu was stunned for a moment, then stood up helplessly.

After bowing, he exited Zhangtai Palace.

Silently watching Fusu go further and further away until he disappeared.

Ying Zheng closed his eyes and sighed.

"Oh, compare your feelings to yourselves."

“How can a country be governed by self-denial and restoration of propriety?”

Then he slowly opened his eyes.

"It seems that we can only place our hope on our grandson."

……

The period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty
  "Pedantic! Pedantic!"

"This is nothing to argue about! Of course we want to save him!"

Looking at the debate on the sky screen, Liu Che couldn't help but slap the table and shouted!

"Your Majesty, there is nothing we can do about it. After all, Emperor Ming died at this time, and there was a great mourning in the country."

Wei Zifu replied softly from the side.

"The new emperor's succession to the throne will inevitably lead to instability in the world. As the saying goes, it is better to be still than to move. A moment of caution is inevitable."

Liu Che heard this and sneered.

"Zihu, what you said makes sense, but this is not the way to consider such a major court matter involving the land of life and death!"

"As an emperor, I sent my ministers to dangerous places like the Western Region for the sake of meritorious service. But when my ministers encountered a life-or-death crisis, they reported it. Instead of sending troops to rescue them, the court considered the nonsense of abandoning them to take care of the overall situation."

"Such actions will only increase the morale of the Xiongnu barbarians and the loyal generals of Han Liangchen!"

"It's okay if the world is peaceful in the future, but once there's trouble, who will be willing to listen to you?!"

Liu Che narrowed his eyes slightly and stared closely at the old man named Wu Lun in the sky. His tone was slow and firm, full of icy coldness.

"You are just a pedantic scholar who talks about being loyal and hypocritical and destroying the country and temples!"

"If he comes in front of me, I will definitely kill him! Humph!"

……

[Facing discussions between the two sides, Emperor Zhang of Han finally decided to rescue the Western Regions! 】

[In the winter of 75 AD, Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty sent Qin Peng, the prefect of Jiuquan, and Wang Meng, the emissary, out of the fortress. Together with the three counties of Zhangye, Jiuquan, and Dunhuang, as well as the army of Shanshan State, a total of people set out to rescue Liuzhong and Shule. 】

[In the first month of 76 AD, reinforcements rushed to Liuzhong City and defeated the allied forces of the Huns and Che Division. 】

["Beheaded 3,800 people, killed more than 3,000 people, and 37,000 camels, donkeys, horses, oxen, and sheep. The northern captives fled in fright, and the charioteers surrendered again." 】

[Except for the death of the general defending the city Chen Zhong, this battle was a great victory. 】

[After the great victory, everyone started arguing again about whether to rescue Wuji Colonel Geng Gong who was far away in Shule City to the north of the Tianshan Mountains]

……

The canopy continues to play,

In the courtyard built with loess,

The dust-covered generals were arguing.

"Liuzhong City is still hundreds of miles away from Shule City! There are also Tianshan Mountains in between!"

A general wearing blood-stained armor pointed to the west and shouted:
  "It's snowing now and the mountains are closed! How to save?!"

"Not to mention it's been so long!"

"I'm afraid Geng Gong's entire army has been wiped out long ago!"

"Let's go back to the court as a teacher!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a young general wiped the blood on his face.

He stood up and said calmly:

"I'm going to save Captain Wuji."

After that, he turned around and left.

……

[Due to the long time and remote location, the Tianshan Mountains blocked the road and the road was blocked by heavy snow. All the generals felt that there was no need to rescue Wuji Colonel Geng Gong. 】

[Only one person disagreed. This person was Fan Qiang, who was sent by Geng Gong to the court to request reinforcements. 】

[Facing Fan Qiang’s support, several generals discussed and gave him 2,000 men to rescue Geng Gong. 】

[And these two thousand people, after crossing the Tianshan Mountains, fighting against the wind and snow, and going through many hardships, finally arrived at Shule City]

……

The canopy continues to play,

The camera landed like an eagle circling over the Western Region.

In the desolate Western Region, an isolated city surrounded by mountains and rivers, with dangerous terrain and full of devastation, is revealed in the picture.

The remaining red color reflects the lonely city, making it even more desolate.

"Have the Huns retreated?"

In the battlements on the wall of the isolated city, a general with disheveled hair and clothed clothes leaned against the wall and gasped, asking the soldiers around him.

There was no response for a while, and the general turned to look.

I saw soldiers in ragged clothes, leaning against the wall, facing the city wall.

And a sharp arrow penetrated deeply into the soldier's eye socket, and the variegated tail feathers were swaying in the wind.

The general looked at him and was speechless for a long time... "One word if you are still alive!"

As the general's voice spread across the wall, intermittent responses sounded from everywhere.

"Are there only twenty-five people left..."

The general leaned against the wall and muttered to himself after silently counting the responses.

At this time, a burst of Huns' unique chirping sound sounded!

The general struggled to look outside the city through the gaps in the walls.

Thousands of Xiongnu regrouped and prepared to attack the isolated city again.

"It seems that I, Geng Gong, am going to die here."

"Uncle, my nephew is loyal."

"Your Majesty, I...tried my best."

The general reluctantly picked up the halberd beside him and prepared for the final desperate battle.

Sudden! A faint oscillating sound sounded!
  Hearing that familiar voice, the general looked towards the rear of the Huns army and couldn't help but be stunned.

Against the setting sun, a big flag flutters fiercely in the wind!
  There is only one word on the big flag.

汉！
  ……

[After sending out the rescue, Geng Gong and 300 soldiers defended Shule City. 】

[The 20,000 Xiongnu troops outside the city cut off the nearby water flow and besieged the city. 】

[A few months later, Geng Gong and other soldiers, who had run out of ammunition and food and could only cook their armored crossbows and eat their muscles and hides, killed the Huns envoys who came to persuade them to surrender. They resolutely refused the Huns' offer to surrender and defended the city. 】

[When Fan Qiang led reinforcements to Shule City, there were only twenty-six people left in the city]

……

On the canopy,
  The guard at Yumen Pass is looking into the distance,
  "Back! Back!"

The guard who saw something shouted excitedly.

"Open the city gate! Welcome the warriors!"

The defenders hurried down the tower and ran to the city gate.

As soon as he arrived behind the city gate, he couldn't help but froze in place.

What caught his eye were thirteen soldiers with ragged clothes and sallow complexions.

……

["... The officials were hungry and poor. Twenty-six of them died on the road in Fashule. In March, when we arrived at Yumen, only thirteen were left. Their clothes were worn and worn, and they looked haggard. Zhonglang's general Zheng Zhong was named I would like to respectfully wash my clothes and change my clothes."]

[When the defenders of Shule City followed the reinforcements and returned to Yumen Pass, only thirteen of the twenty-six people were left. 】

[Historical records show that when the Zhonglang general Zheng Zhong who was stationed at Yumen Pass faced the haggard and withered thirteen soldiers, he personally bathed and changed their clothes, and asked Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty for merit for being the thirteen warriors]

["Gong guarded the isolated city with a single soldier, and when there were tens of thousands of Huns, for months and years, exhausted, he dug mountains into wells, boiled crossbows for food, out of ten thousand deaths, with no hope of a lifetime! He killed and wounded many ugly captives before and after. In hundreds of thousands of battles, the soldiers are all loyal and brave, and they are not ashamed of the great Han Dynasty. Their courtesy and integrity are unprecedented in ancient and modern times. It is appropriate for them to show their nobility and lead the general with force."]

【Don’t be ashamed of the big man! Five big characters are still moving. 】

……

{This is the famous "Thirteen Generals Returning to Jade Gate"! ｝

{The return of the Thirteen Soldiers to Yumen is one of the heroic stories that best represents our nation! During the days when they were besieged by the army, the Xiongnu envoys who persuaded them to surrender were cooked and the sinews used to make crossbows were eaten. The whole army fought until twenty-six people still did not give up their defense. When they arrived at Yumen Pass, Yumen Guardsman Zheng Zhong He was so moved that he personally washed the thirteen soldiers and said: "Gong's integrity is unprecedented in ancient and modern times!" ｝

{The Han flag cannot fall! ｝

{All my Han people will be saved no matter how far away they are! (call)｝
  {You are the Xiongnu envoy, bringing the benefits of siege to the city to persuade them to surrender, but the guard is Geng Gong, who is going crazy with hunger! ｝
  {The world only knows Sparta, but no one knows our great Han city Shule! ｝

{The Guiyi Army of the Tang Dynasty and the return of the Thirteen Generals of the Han Dynasty to Yumen cannot be understood by just reading textbooks. ｝
  ……

Da Qin,

"Is it true? Is it false?"

Ying Zheng looked at the thirteen soldiers on the sky with suspicion.

"Don't be driven by profit, don't be restricted by law."

"Only based on Confucian loyalty?"

"Can people really do this?"

Ying Zheng sat upright with his hands on his knees, frowning, and his head was working rapidly.

I quickly went through my life experience and the history of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods in my mind.

Then he slowly opened his eyes.

"It's just a special case, few people will be fooled!"

……

Big man,

"What a loyal minister and good general! It greatly demonstrates the majesty of our Han family!"

Liu Bang squatted in the palace and clapped his hands and applauded!
  Hearing Liu Bang's call, the servant outside Gong's room said with a sad face:

"Your Majesty, the queen has already urged people to come three times. How about... we should go back?"

"Go back? When you go back, will you be scolded for Naigong or will you be beaten for Naigong?!"

In Gong's room, Liu Bang's angry voice came out.

"One by one, there is no morality at all! Nai Gong feeds you for free!"

"No one came to my rescue!"

"If Nai Gong hadn't thought so quickly, he would have been beaten by the Queen!"

"The Queen is furious! Punch the Emperor three times!"

"Do you think this reputation sounds good?!"

When have you ever cared about reputation?
  The waiter outside the door frowned and cursed in his heart.

"But Your Majesty, you can't always hide in the palace?"

"Stop talking nonsense! Isn't Mr. Nai just trying to make a speech? In short, you can stop them as many times as the Queen sends people, and I'll wait until I figure out a way."

……

Period of Emperor Guangwu of Yanhan Dynasty

"Geng Gong, Geng Gong..."

Liu Xiu murmured thoughtfully.

"Bo Zhao, I remember your nephew's name is Geng Gong?"

Your Highness, Geng Yan, who was standing at the head of the queue, came out to respond.

"Your Majesty, indeed, my nephew's name is Geng Gong."

"How old is this year?"

Liu Xiu asked with some emotion.

"Back to Your Majesty, it has just been three months."

"..."

"..."

Liu Xiu and Geng Yan looked at each other with big eyes.

"...I know"

……

Tang Dezong Period
  Anxi Protectorate

"Tell me, does His Majesty still remember us?"

On the mottled wall, a veteran wearing worn-out armor leaned against the wall and looked at the sky. He asked his comrades beside him.

"You mind that nonsense!"

The veteran beside him was repairing his crossbow. After being slapped with an elbow, he turned his head and looked at him with his remaining eye and cursed.

"Whether the emperor remembers it or not, we sold our lives to Guo Shuai a long time ago! Just for one word, the majesty of the Tang Dynasty cannot be destroyed!"

……

["Thirteen Generals Return to Jade Gate" has a nice name, but through this incident we can also see part of the characteristics of Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty. 】

[Emperor Zhang of Han was a very tolerant emperor, which can be seen from his various actions in facing problems after he succeeded to the throne. 】

[In 75 and 76 AD, a great plague occurred in the Han Dynasty. A serious drought occurred in Luoyang, the capital, and in Yan, Henan, Xu and other prefectures. Thousands of miles of bare land and hungry people were everywhere. 】

[Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty issued an edict not to levy the land rent and cuo manuscripts in Yan, Yu, and Xuzhou, but to open the world's granary to provide relief to the victims. 】

[And the court funds the raising of children from poor families. 】

[At the same time, a fetal support order was issued, and each pregnant woman was given "three dendrobiums" of grain to encourage the population to have children. At the same time, the corvee is light and the tax is small, and the farmers and mulberry trees are rewarded. 】

[Due to the severe drought in the three prefectures, Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty issued an edict to punish himself. He also listened to the words of Situ Baoyu and Shangshu Chen Chong, changed the harsh inspection of Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty, acted leniently, relaxed criminal laws, and abolished more than fifty harsh laws. 】

　The tooth is finally done today! Very good, I made up for it years ago!
