However, from pride to pride, Ma Chao has not yet reached the point of being overwhelmed. The horse he is riding now is not an oolong horse riding snow, but a military horse equipped for him. Although he loves the oolong horse riding snow very much, he was captured and returned to his father. He still understands the truth. Now, the snow-walking oolong hag is working with the golden dome on the Huns’ tent, ready to be presented to Liu Xin as a trophy.
The whole team of about 20,000 people entered Xiangyang from the north gate, passed through the city, and came directly to the Han Dynasty Martyrs Cemetery outside the south gate. The bodies of all the dead soldiers will be buried in this cemetery, although there is nothing in the cemetery. The precious burial objects, but the pine and cypresses are evergreen, and the memorial service is constant at four o'clock. It is a great honor for the present group of Han soldiers to be buried here after death.
Today’s burial ceremony was presided over by Liu Xin himself. The tomb was already ready. After the dead soldiers were buried, Liu Xin added the first piece of soil with his own hands. When all the tombs were sealed, Liu Xin lifted it up. The pottery bowl in his hand said: "My first bowl of wine is a respect to the heavens and the earth, ghosts and gods, and bless my Dahan Sheji forever,"
More than 20,000 soldiers followed Liu Xin and sprinkled the bowl of wine on the ground.
Liu Xin poured another bowl of wine and said: "The second bowl, I respect these warriors who gave their precious lives for the safety of the big man and the peace of the people. Their deaths are as heavy as Mount Tai."
The second bowl of wine was still sprinkled on the ground,
A guard came forward and helped Liu Xin fill up the pottery bowl in his hand.
Liu Xin held the bowl of wine high above his head, glanced at the soldiers in front of him, and said loudly: "This third bowl of wine, I want to respect you. You made sacrifices for the prosperity of the man. You are the loveliest of the Han Dynasty. People, I hope that in the future battlefield, you can all live well without abandoning or giving up, and witness the future glory and prosperity of the Han Dynasty with Liu."
After that, Liu Xin raised her neck, gurgled the bowl of wine and drank it clean, then threw the empty bowl to the ground, breaking it into countless pottery pieces.
Since ancient times, all achievements have been made, no matter how many lives will be paid, no matter how many people are going to be paid, no matter how many people are going to be paid, no one cares about their lives. Now, Liu Xin Not only does it give the deceased a lofty honor, it also gives the living endless hope, making all the soldiers present,
There is another touch of Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong who are familiar with Liu Xin. They all know that Liu Xin has never been drinking, but Liu Xin not only drank it today, but also drank a full bowl, which is enough to see how sincere Liu Xin is.
After a moment of silence, there was a sound of "pumping bowls" from the team, followed by the shouts of "Hurray, hooray," one after another like a tsunami.
The bodies of the fallen soldiers were buried. The officers and soldiers of all levels below the school lieutenant all lined up to return to the military camp in the western suburbs of Xiangyang. They will rest there for a period of time. As for the merits they have made on the battlefield, according to the records in the merit book, There are regulations to follow, the Ministry of Defense has begun to review one by one, and it will be fulfilled one by one soon.
Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong brought Ma Chao and Xia Houlan to the prefecture. They will show Liu Xin the spoils captured in this expedition. There is no need for so many people to participate in this ceremony, except for Jushou and Tian in Xiangyang. Besides Feng, Guo Jia, Dianwei, Xu Chu, etc., only officers above the generals in the military can participate. Now the promotion of officers is strictly based on military merit, so there are many military regiments from the generals to the deputy commanders. The vacancy, like the Sixth Army, is only the commander of the army, Zhao Yun, general Ma Chao, and general Xia Houlan. Xia Houlan has been in the army very early, but he has not made a lot of contributions. With so many years, countless times The work accumulated, and finally rose to the position of Pi,
The first trophy to be carried to the hall was the golden roof. It was made of pure gold and weighed more than two hundred catties. Liu Xin couldn’t figure it out. Isn’t it just a tent roof? Why use such a precious one. Gold is made and made so heavy, isn’t it afraid to crush the tent, but Liu Xin is still very interested in the golden dome itself. This is a cultural relic of great significance. He immediately ordered that the tent be destroyed. This golden dome was put in the treasury together with the scimitar that I sent last time,
When the second piece of trophy came in, Liu Xin was shocked. In fact, the quantifier "piece" should not be used, but "group" should be used. That is a group of people, a group of women,
Zhao Yun saw Liu Xin’s stunned expression, and explained: “I’ll tell the lord, these people are Yuvro’s wives, daughters, and daughter-in-laws. They have been under the care of Ma Chao. No one dares to get involved, including Ma Chao. Inside,"
Some people suspect that Ma Chao possessed Yufro’s woman. Zhao Yun had also heard about this incident. Therefore, Zhao Yun specially emphasized Ma Chao’s innocence.
Although Ma Chao did not have a long time under his command, Ma Chao's high martial arts skills and fierce combat were deeply loved by Zhao Yun. This is also an important reason why Ma Chao was promoted so quickly in the Sixth Army, and also because of his trust in Ma Chao. In this battle, Zhao Yun will arrange for him to lead the army alone,
It is not unfounded that Zhao Yun spoke for Ma Chao. He came to this conclusion after certain investigations. The five thousand people who eventually invaded the Fro tribe belonged to the Sixth Army and were Zhao Yun’s subordinates. Zhao Yun When asked about their situation, no one dared to lie. The Xiongnu’s king's account was very large, and it was actually divided into many small rooms. Ma Chao only occupied one of them, not even the maidservant, let alone the one in Yufro’s house. Women, all the soldiers who listened to him were soldiers in the army, and they had not left his side for a moment, so they could testify to him.
The military discipline of the Han Dynasty is very strict, not to mention the woman of Yufro. Even an ordinary Hun woman, no soldier dared to commit the crime. That is a capital crime, but the loss is not only the life, but also the honor of being a Han soldier. In order to be happy for a while, Zhao Yun believes that Ma Chao is a sensible person and he would not do this kind of thing. However, Zhao Yun couldn’t figure it out. Since Ma Chao is a sensible person, why would he still live in Wang’s account? , And will leave Froe’s woman in the king’s tent, is this not clear to give others a chance to frame oneself,
In the eyes of these people, since Yuvro is the Xiongnu Shanyu, his woman is equivalent to the queen and concubine of the Han people. His daughter is the princess of the Xiongnu, and his daughter-in-law is the future queen and concubine of the Xiongnu. Concubine, regardless of the beauty and ugliness of these women, their identities are there. In this Xiangyang city, I am afraid that no one except Liu Xin is qualified to touch it. In history, the general of the early Ming Dynasty, Lanyu, is said to be because of the touch. Emperor Yuan’s concubine resulted in a major case. It was precisely because of this that Jushou and Chen Gong would report Ma Chao’s actions to Liu Xin as a major event, and Zhao Yun would deliberately defend him.
Of course Liu Xin would not have such thoughts, and he also communicated with Jushou and Chen Gong in advance, so there is no need to worry that they would jump out to blame Ma Chao, so he nodded and said, "Well, Ma Chao is doing a good job, Degui. , You find a house in the city and put these women in a proper place,"
Of these women in Yuvro’s family, Liu Xin naturally wouldn’t touch them. It doesn’t seem appropriate to serve as official slaves. The only thing to do is to raise them, that is, to eat more mouths. However, Liu Xin is now a child. The children have to be split in half to use. Of course, if you can save it, you can save them. So they stuffed these women to Cai Tao. Cai Tao is the prefect of Xiangyang. In theory, this Xiangyang city and all the counties under his jurisdiction are under his rule. , And Cai’s family is a prominent family in Jingzhou, with a big family, so it’s nothing to raise a few more women.
Among the civil and military under Liu Xin’s hands, Cai Tao was considered to have taken refuge in Liu Xin relatively early. His sister was also included in the house by Liu Xin, but she always only wandered in the position of the prefect of Xiangyang. It was very difficult for him to go further. In this matter, Cai Hao racked his brains and finally came to a conclusion that it was all because he had no chance to do several major things for Liu Xin.
In fact, the reason why he didn't have this opportunity was just because Liu Xin knew that he was still loyal, but his ability was limited and he did not dare to entrust him with important tasks. Nevertheless, Cai Hao did not give up, he was still fighting for every opportunity to perform.
For men, three wives and four concubines are normal things. Cai Tao himself has nearly a hundred concubines. He would not object to Liu Xin looking for other women just because his sister married Liu Xin. I dare not, but Cai Wei is still more afraid of Ma Yun. In his opinion, Liu Xin did not arrange for Fu Luo's woman in the prefecture, because he is worried that Ma Yun will be unhappy. Now let him handle it. Naturally, he hopes that he will be unhappy. Helped him build an outhouse in the city. Liu Xin was able to hand this matter to him, apparently treating him as a cron.
Cai Hao suddenly felt extremely honored, and quickly stood up, clasped his fists in both hands, and said: "Please rest assured, the subordinates will arrange them comfortably, at any time..."
He hadn't finished his words, but he heard Chen Gong's nose twitch, and he hummed heavily.
Cai Hao thought that Chen Gong had seen through his mind, and his face blushed, and he said whispered: "Master Chen, what's wrong with what Cai said?"
Chen Gong kept recalling what Liu Xin said just now. He felt that Liu Xin, instead of blaming Ma Chao for this matter, was faintly complimenting Ma Chao, so he became a little dissatisfied. He hummed and didn't pay attention to what Cai Hao said. What,
Hearing Cai Hao asked him, Chen Gong was also a little stunned. He waved his hand quickly and said, "Master Cai misunderstood. Chen is thinking, why is General Zhao so sure? What is the real evidence?"
Chen Gong knew that Cai Wei was a villain and had such a relationship with Liu Xin. He didn't need to offend him at all. Besides, he didn't hear what he was talking about, so he naturally wanted to say what he thought clearly, and, Chen Gong knew that Zhao Yun was open-minded, and he questioned him face to face, and he would not remember it.
Liu Xin couldn't help being sullen. He had already negotiated with him that day. How could he still hold on to this matter? Most of the women standing in the hall were already married. Besides, the women on the grassland were originally women. The demeanor is the unmarried daughters of Yuvro, who can guarantee that they are virgins in the first place. How to prove this, but Liu Xin didn’t know. Chen Gong didn’t want to say anything today. It just jumped out because he just praised Ma Chao casually, and Chen Gong was worried that he would backtrack on Ma Chao’s issue.
But seeing Ma Chao flushed, he suffocated a word for a long time and said: "No evidence is needed, Ma is still a boy."
