I am not in the position of Zen [Three Kingdoms]

Gao Shun has always been strict with himself, and he calmed down quickly. After a short rest, he got up neatly and organized the soldiers to clean up the battlefield.

Seeing that Lu Bu was still lying on the ground and refused to get up, Gao Shun mercilessly advised him, and Luo Li said more than a dozen words in a hurry.

"Whispering... I just got up." Lu Bu had no choice but to get up with a dark face, leaning on Fang Tian's painted halberd, and took heavy steps to comfort the wounded soldiers and bury the sacrificed soldiers.After finishing all this work, I have to go back to the city to write a military report, and fly a letter to the emperor in Beijing.In addition, it is necessary to count the results of the battle, write a more detailed post-war report, and send an official document to the Ministry of War.Thinking about so many things, Lu Bu felt dizzy when he thought about it, and shouted loudly, "Where's Le Jin? Whoever saw him asked him to come to my tent to report later!"

The Han army used long knives to check the survivors of the enemy army. If they were not dead, they would make up for them with another knife, and then set them on fire or buried them, so as to prevent any fish that slipped through the net from escaping or a large number of corpses piling up to cause plague.

When the Han army was cleaning the battlefield under the organization of Gao Shun, a bloody man crawled out of the pile of dead people unexpectedly, holding a head tightly in his arms, which shocked everyone.

Someone was so frightened that the long knife in his hand dropped: "It's a corpse! It's a corpse!"

Another person shouted: "What is it called? You don't know much. It's just that you haven't died!"

After all, he was about to make a deadly move and stepped forward to make up the knife.The man hurriedly yelled: "My own man! I am the school Wei Lejin!"

The Han army watched in confusion as he took off the Xiongnu's armor with great difficulty, revealing the familiar Han robes.A winking soldier quickly stepped forward to help him stand up, and asked with concern: "General Le, what's wrong with your leg? Why are you wearing the armor of the Huns?"

"It's hard to say, I got an arrow in my leg, I couldn't walk anymore, I lost so much blood that I passed out." Regardless of the wounds all over his body, Le Jin had an excited expression on his face, and said excitedly: "But it was a blessing in disguise! Look! What did I get?"

The Han army exclaimed: "Ah! The king of the Huns! It can be worth a thousand pieces of gold!" Just by looking at the armor on this person's head, they can judge the position of this person before his death.So amidst the excitement, Le Jin was carried back to the city by the soldiers.

At the same time, Zhao Yun and Taiyuan Wang Taishou, who were divided into two groups, rushed thousands of miles to the base camp of the Huns, attacked the seat of the Huns' royal court, beheaded [-] people, captured [-] prisoners, and obtained countless food and supplies.Then from north to south, the momentum was like a broken bamboo, and the territories of Shuofang County and Wuyuan County of the Han family were continuously recovered along the way, and the captured Han people were restored to freedom.

The victorious battle in Ningyuan County enabled the Han army to capture thousands of light and heavy armor from the Xiongnu and a thousand horses that were killed or injured.At the end of the year, the Han army dragged all the supplies back to the city.For the rest of their lives after the catastrophe, the Han army prepared to celebrate the New Year in Ningyuan County earnestly and lively.

Lu Bu also ordered: "Let's celebrate the new year with peace of mind, and let the brothers recuperate for ten days before reorganizing the army. At that time, we will send our troops to the north to join the prefect Zhao." The generals naturally had no objection.

The Han army began to process the dead and seriously injured horses as rations.The gang leader washed the horse meat, boiled it in cold water, and extravagantly found some beer wine from the wine cellar of the county government, added some wine to remove the fishy smell, added onion, ginger and salt, and simmered over high heat.Cut into thin slices while hot, and eat with pickled vegetables and millet rice.For soldiers, this is already a rare meal.

Surprisingly, more than a dozen large grain trucks arrived in Ningyuan County that day.The generals opened the grain truck, and saw that there were not only staple foods such as millet, chestnut, wheat, and soybean, but also various delicious pickles such as mallow, lotus root, ginger, mustard greens, bamboo shoots, eight altars of soy sauce, and five altars of tempeh.In addition, there are ten jars full of meat sauce and fish sauce.You must know that in this era, common people could not afford soy sauce and fermented soybeans at all, and meat sauce and fish sauce were even more popular among the aristocracy.

The soldiers surrounded the grain truck, almost drooling, and said excitedly:

"It's going to be a blessing! The food and pay in Beijing is really good!"

"Our generals never eat alone, they always eat with us. The excellent things like meat sauce and fish sauce are shared, and everyone can have a few mouthfuls."

"It's written on it as an imperial gift. Just now I saw an angel go to the general's camp. It seems that the emperor sympathized with us and rewarded us. The emperor is so kind!"

"That's right, the Son of Heaven is so merciful! I didn't expect that one day we, born with mud legs, would be able to eat such good food!"

"This basket says oil cakes, what kind of cakes are these?"

Seeing something new, some soldiers asked the pawns who transported grain and grass.

"It's made with a lot of soybean oil and flour, and it tastes very crispy." The pawn said with a smile, "It's very popular in Beijing."

In the camp, the food transport officer first congratulated Lu Bu: "Congratulations to the general for the victory of the flag! At the end of the year, His Majesty ordered all kinds of New Year's goods to be sent to the front line of the border. This is a list with the seal of the Ministry of Households. Please check it with the general."

Gao Shun wondered: "Is your majesty a clever plan? How do you know that we just repelled the enemy?" The flying pigeon has just been released to pass the letter, so it won't be fast, the news will reach the capital immediately.Even so, it is impossible for grain trucks to travel thousands of miles a day to transport supplies to the front line.

The grain transportation officer said with a smile: "We set out from Beijing in time for the Chinese New Year. I heard that the front line was fiercely fought, and the surrounding counties had insufficient escort troops, so I didn't dare to transport food and grass for the time being, so I just waited around. Until I When the news of the army’s victory came, we were transported here under the escort of the local chief, and finally lived up to His Majesty’s entrustment, and handed it over to the soldiers before the end of the year.”

Lu Bu breathed a sigh of relief: Liu Xie is sometimes so smart that he is close to a monster, and he thought that the time to win this time was also within his expectations.

Guo Jia covered half of his face with a fan, seeing Lu Bu's expression, he was puzzled.He kept his expression down, and looked at the list with great interest: "Is there any good wine?"

The food transport officer said with a smile: "Most of them are medicinal wine, but there are also two jars of sweet-scented osmanthus wine."

Guo Jia sighed regretfully: Just two jars, it's not enough to fit between teeth.

Lu Bu glanced at him and said with a smile: "Sir, don't be sorry, as long as you drink one bowl, you will know that you can't drink too much of this wine."

Guo Jiarao asked with interest: "Oh? Is there a mystery to this wine?"

Gao Shun replied: "Sir, you must be careful when you drink it. In the past, the emperor improved the method of brewing wine, and the brewed wine was called "immortal pour" in Beijing. Ordinary people will feel hot when they drink it, and their eyes will be dazzled. Woolen cloth."

"When General Gao said that, Jia became even more curious."

"When the banquet is held in the evening, sir, you will know after trying it."

New Year's Eve is the last day of the year, which is known as "New Year's Eve".In the Han Dynasty, people were superstitious, and dance ceremonies of beating drums to drive away ghosts and plagues were popular, which was called exorcising Nuo.The palace is no exception. Compared with the folk, it is even more superstitious, and the activities are held in a grander place.

The Ministry of Rites selected more than 100 aristocratic children, and asked them to wear soap and green clothes, wear red headscarves, and hold big drums in their hands. The exorcism ceremony was held in great momentum. (From the records of "Book of the Later Han Dynasty Etiquette")

Liu Xie sighed: "Feudal superstition..." But seeing that everyone was beaming with joy and firmly believed that doing so would exorcise evil spirits and welcome good fortune, he participated very cooperatively and watched all the way.Witness the dancers holding torches and sending the plague ghosts out of Duanmen all the way.

The ceremony was not over yet, thousands of soldiers took turns sending torches out of the palace to the river outside the gate.After leaving the palace, many common people followed the soldiers with relish and watched, witnessing the soldiers throwing the torch into the water.This means that the evil spirit has been suppressed at the bottom of the water and cannot turn over.

After the ceremony, it was the turn of each family to go back to have a reunion dinner, and the palace was no exception.It should have been that Liu Xie had dinner with the Queen Mother, the Empress Dowager, and the concubines.However, when Liu Xie was young, his biological mother Wang Meiren was poisoned to death by the mother of the deposed emperor Liu Bian. The Empress Dowager Dong who raised him has also passed away, and there are no concubines in the palace now.

The daughters of the dignitaries who entered the palace in the past, because of Liu Xie's ban that "the harem is not allowed to participate in politics", their fathers and brothers, in order not to lose their official positions, most of them took the initiative to say that their daughters were not good enough to be His Majesty's concubines.Liu Xie agreed very graciously, but since he entered the palace, there was absolutely no reason to send him out immediately.

A few months ago, Liu Xie launched a round of rectification in the palace, divided these young girls into groups for assessment, and began to instill the ideas of equality between men and women and the necessity of women's education.

For those who are enlightened and knowledgeable, they will be promoted to female officials, and their relationship with the family will be divided at the same time.Liu Xie imitated the ranks of female officials established by Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and set up official positions such as female minister, female history, female sage, female scholar history, scholar, and small scholar. Four grades; women's wine, women's salary, women's food and other positions are compared with five grades.For those whose ideas are still old-fashioned, they are assigned to work in different places according to their talents, such as schools, Luoyang textile factories, etc.

These women are all in the North Palace, and each department celebrates the new year, and they are not qualified to accompany Liu Xie as relatives.

As for Liu's huge group of relatives, Liu Xie usually doesn't bother to talk to them, and he doesn't want to call them in front of him during the Chinese New Year to add trouble to him.So, in the huge palace, he ate the New Year's Eve dinner alone.

The author has something to say: The Ministry of Rites selected more than 100 aristocratic children, and asked them to wear soap and green clothes, wear red headscarves, and hold a big drum in their hands. Dancing and holding a grand exorcism ceremony in the palace.The ceremony was not over yet, thousands of soldiers took turns sending torches out of the palace to the river outside the gate.After leaving the palace, many common people followed the soldiers with relish and watched, witnessing the soldiers throwing the torch into the water.This means that the evil spirit has been suppressed at the bottom of the water and cannot turn over.
