Chapter 34 Chapter 30 Megatron Mobei

The common people were so shocked that they came out to watch. It was the first time they saw the grandeur and glory of the emperor's tour... Spring in Mobei is very beautiful. In the land of water and grass, colorful flowers are in full bloom. On the green grassland, cattle and sheep are everywhere, and there are bursts of singing... Suddenly, the sound of drums and horns and the sound of horseshoes gradually came from the ancient road in the distance. The farmers and herdsmen looked at it in amazement. , everyone stood on the side of the road and looked around. Not long after, a group of cavalry guards galloped over and stood solemnly on both sides of the ancient road. Come over, and then the palace band directed by Li Yannian, playing all the way over...

Under the protection of a hundred royal iron cavalry, there were three identical four-horse yellow imperial chariots marching, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sat in one of them. In order to prevent various assassins, he kept changing chariots. Behind Jin Yu are the chariots of the concubine, followed by the chariots of the accompanying ministers, and finally the chariots of 180,000 Han soldiers, infantry and cavalry. Riding, mighty... After walking for a long time, the team hasn't finished yet. "Ah, it's the emperor on tour." A spectator shouted. "Long live the emperor, long live, long live!" When they heard that it was the emperor, the common people fell to their knees with a plop.

The beaded curtain on the third imperial chariot was drawn back, and the emperor waved to the people with his hand outstretched... The cheers grew louder. "The Son of Heaven has come to inspect Mobei." The news spread excitedly among the people. The emperor led an army of 180,000 to patrol Mobei, frightening the local officials big and small. The county guard led civil and military officials had already knelt outside the city to greet them.The local people were so shocked that they came out to watch.What grandeur, what glory, they saw for the first time on the emperor's tour!

The next day, Emperor Wu conducted an inspection accompanied by local officials of all sizes. The sheriff pointed to the front and said, "Your Majesty, please see that these cottages have been rebuilt. They were all burned down by the Huns." Emperor Wu glanced at them and saw new houses, connected to each other, with smoke and vitality. In one piece, I saw the fields stretching thousands of miles away, and the seedlings were green. I was overjoyed and sighed: "Wei Qing, Huo Qubing, Li Guang and the others' merits are really too great." Emperor Wu felt sad again, because all three generals died...

Emperor Wu went to the field and asked an old man who was plowing: "Old man, is your life stable now?" The old man raised his head. "The emperor asked you!" "Your Majesty?" The old man looked up and saw that it was the Emperor, he quickly knelt down, and Emperor Wu walked over to help him up himself. Emperor Wu asked him: "Old man, don't you have to worry about living in fear now?" "Back to the emperor, since the Xiongnu were driven away by Wei Qing and Li Guang, we will no longer run away." "Okay. Let's live a good life, the Huns don't dare to come again."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Emperor Wu went to inspect the border again. He boarded the wall of Yanbei City, looked at the thousands of miles of desert outside the Great Wall, and sighed: "The Huns have finally been driven away." He sighed: "The Great Wall is really not easy. The Huns did too much harm to the Central Plains. We finally drove them away." Emperor Wu's eyes were shining. "Your majesty is wise." Left and right said. Emperor Wu looked into the distance, feeling overwhelmed, thinking that the Xiongnu had fallen, and the people in northern Xinjiang had lived a stable life, and he was very happy...

The band led by Li Yannian played the works of Emperor Wu: Emperor Wu heard Longyan's joy, his eyes glowed... Emperor Wu said to the county guards and garrison generals: "I order you to repair the Great Wall again. Although the Xiongnu have been driven away, we must prevent him from coming again." "Follow the order." In the afternoon of this day, the sun was shining brightly, and the square outside the south gate of Mobei City was crowded with people. Emperor Wu sat on the temporary parade platform to review the three armies. It was full of people who came from far and near.

When the time came, the horn sounded, and 180,000 patrolling soldiers formed a hundred phalanxes, including ceremonial phalanxes, chariot formations, sword formations, spear formations, halberd formations, arrow formations...the cavalry formation passed through last. Walking in the front is a guard of honor composed of 500 people. They hold various colorful flags, and the mountain wind blows, and the flags are like waves.They shouted: "Long live the emperor!" Emperor Wu waved to them happily. Behind the guard of honor is a phalanx of soldiers wearing armor and holding swords and contradictory cards, then warriors holding bows and arrows in their right hands, then the chariots of valiant generals, and finally tens of thousands of cavalry...

They held their heads high and shouted to kill... On both sides of the stage is the palace band led by Li Yannian, they are playing military music. Emperor Wu watched majesticly, his face was flushed, and his eyes were shining. In this grand military parade, he wanted to make the subjects in Mobei believe in the power of the big man. Terrified, dare not come again. Emperor Wu turned to Sima Qian who was standing behind him and said, "Sima Aiqing, I want to hear your thoughts on this." Sima Qian replied: "Your Majesty, I am honored to accompany you on a tour of the north. I have witnessed the peace and auspiciousness in Mobei. This is all due to the wiseness of the Holy Majesty in defending the frontier against the Huns, and to the bravery of the guards."

Emperor Wu laughed loudly: "Sima Qian, this is the first time I've heard you say good things about me." Sima Qian said embarrassedly: "I just reported the truth." Just before dawn, the square outside Mobei City was crowded with people from all directions. Some of them came with a family driving a horse-drawn cart or an ox cart, some came on horseback, and most of them came on foot in groups at night, and some came to compete. Yes, there are people watching the excitement, some selling things, all of them are smiling, humming folk songs, or playing the motouqin... It turns out that today is the horse racing festival, especially because the emperor is watching, so the people with a radius of hundreds of miles are all excited. Busy watching the fun.

On the racetrack, colorful flags are fluttering, and crowds are crowded... When the emperor arrived, Emperor Wu and the local officials and generals of the garrison came to sit on the newly built viewing platform. The people cheered to Emperor Wu: "Long live the emperor, long live, long live!" The drum horn sounded, and first it was the wrestling final. Two burly men with red scarves on their heads and big waists entered the arena.When the game was fierce, there were thunderous shouts outside the court. Then came the tug-of-war competition, and then the riding competition, including holding sheep, horseback somersault and horse archery, etc. The winners all won prizes. The last and most exciting one is horse racing. The players are all winners from all over the world. After the order is issued, the players gallop out like arrows, and the horses circle around the field like flying. The players are sweating , There were thunderous shouts outside the court. When the finish line was approaching, the spectators shouted "Come on!" When Emperor Wu saw a few teenagers galloping forward, Emperor Wu stood up happily. Emperor Wu liked teenagers the most in his life, especially those who were brave and good at fighting like Huo Qubing . Emperor Wu received these young men and asked happily, "How old are you? How long have you been practicing riding and shooting?" "Your Majesty, I am fifteen years old and I was born on horseback." "Haha, you were born on a horse, that means you have been riding for fifteen years." Everyone laughed. "And you?" "I'm also fifteen years old. I got on a horse when I was three years old." "I was fourteen, and I was on horseback at five." "I'm also fourteen years old, and I got on horseback when I was five." "I was sixteen, and I got on horseback when I was six." "Okay, you are the hope of my big man, and the safety of Mobei in the future depends on you." Emperor Wu turned his head and said to the generals in the garrison: "I entrust these young men and riders to you, train them well, and let them be as powerful as Huo Qubing at the border." "The end will obey the order." Emperor Wu said to the five teenagers again: "I will reward you with a set of riding uniforms for each of you. You should train like Wei Qing and Huo Qubing." "Thank you, Your Majesty." The five teenagers knelt down and kowtowed. In the evening, Emperor Wu held a banquet for the elders of Mobei in the courtyard of the government office, and everyone over the age of seven was invited.Emperor Wu said: "I invite you to the banquet today, mainly to express condolences to the elders. You have lived in this place for generations. You have suffered from the invasion of the Huns. Now that the Huns have been driven away, you have peace. It's worth celebrating, don't you think?" "The Holy Spirit." Emperor Wu pointed to the oldest centenarian and asked, "Old man, what do you think?" The old man with white beard and hair was picked up with the support of his family. He hurriedly said: "What the Holy Majesty said is very true. The old man feels the deepest and suffers the most from the Huns. When the old man was young, he served as a soldier. The Huns have fought bloody battles more than 10 or 20 times, and when they were old, they were forced to flee everywhere by the Huns. Since the Holy Spirit made up his mind to drive out the Huns, the old man and his family have found a safe place, so the common people thank the emperor for his kindness." Emperor Wu said: "Everyone can live in peace from now on. I have sent heavy troops to guard. If the Huns dare to come again, they must be wiped out." "Your majesty is wise." An old man said sadly, "Our common people in northern Xinjiang have suffered a lot from the Huns' invasion. When the Huns came that year, my family of seven died and fled. Now I am the only one left alone." Old man... Alas!" The old man wiped his tears with his sleeve. Another old man also said: "That year the Huns suddenly invaded. I was grazing sheep on the mountain. They robbed my sheep and set fire to our village. Fortunately, I escaped quickly, or I would have died." Sima Qian listened with emotion. He wanted to keep the voice of the common people in his heart and write it in the history books. "Okay, okay." Emperor Wu said, "From now on, I will never allow you to be killed by the Huns again. Come, come, everyone, drink, drink." The band led by Li Yannian played the majestic "Great Wind Song" by Han Gaozu, and two rows of warriors jumped up.Emperor Wu also sang excitedly: Sima Qian was moved to tears... This is the greatest achievement of Emperor Wu, and I must write it in the history books. The audience clapped drums and sang along, and the powerful singing wafted through the ancient town of Mobei...
