Chapter 83: Carving stones and pursuing merits

Digging the ancestral tombs of the Xiongnu and destroying the Dragon City, the holy land of the Xiongnu, is what the soldiers like most and want to do the most. Who is the Xiongnu so hateful?

Think about the Huns, when they were rampant, they raped and plundered, and used all the best, destroyed people's homes and dug up people's ancestral graves, and they were endless. Today, it would be a pleasure to use their own way of governing people!

This kind of pleasure is more comfortable than the decisive battle. The soldiers cannot understand Zhou Yang’s idea, and it is a long-term plan. In their eyes, this is the best way to retaliate against the Huns. Who can’t be happy?

If Zhou Yang hadn't given the extremely strict order, they would have cheered long ago. Zhou Yang had extremely strict orders. Although the soldiers were extremely happy, they did not speak out. The huge military formation was speechless, showing the extraordinary quality of the Han army.

"Get it!"

The sudden sound of hooves sounded, and Zhou Yang took the lead. Li Guang, Cheng Buzhi, Wei Qing, Zhang Tong and other generals followed closely, surrounded Zhou Yang and rushed towards him.

Zhou Yang was wearing armor and a buckle behind him, riding on the wind-chasing horse, which was particularly powerful. Zhou Yang did not wear a helmet, but was stuck in his armpits, with his face exposed, and his face was solemn and powerful without anger. This is the temperament developed among all the troops.

"Master! Master!"

When they saw Zhou Yang's face, the soldiers could no longer help and cheered. Zhou Yang was a famous general who was shot out with real swords and spears. He led the soldiers to fight without any signs of defeat. Even in the Great Wall Battle, the Han army was in an extremely unfavorable situation and had no defeat. When the soldiers saw Zhou Yang, they were joking as if they saw their relatives.

Zhou Yang waved his right hand lightly, indicating that the soldiers should not cheer. However, his position in the minds of the soldiers was unique. When he signaled, the soldiers yelled even more happily.

When he rode his horse to the front, Zhou Yang pulled the reins of the horse, and the chasing Feng Qiao seemed to feel the joy. He raised his head to the sky and a loud voice. Then he paused the ground with his four hooves, and stopped.

Generals such as Li Guang, Cheng Buzhi, Wei Qing, and Zhang Tong rode their horses behind Zhou Yang.

Zhou Yang glanced at the soldiers. Although they were wearing helmets and could not see their faces, they could see from their eyes that their butts were all happy. It was no wonder that the soldiers were already happy, let alone digging the ancestral graves of the Huns and destroying Longcheng. The soldiers did not sing loudly, which was already restrained.

"Brothers: Today, we are gathering here, not celebrating victory!" Zhou Yang understood the feelings of the soldiers very well and spoke loudly: "We must witness the great moment today, which is unprecedented and has no future generations! We must dig out the ancestral tombs of the Xiongnu and destroy the Dragon City, the holy land of the Xiongnu!"

"Long live the great man!"

The soldiers let out a shocking roar, and went straight to the ninth level of heaven, shaking the clouds in the sky to shatter.

This matter has been known for a long time. When it comes to Zhou Yang's mouth, it still has the power to inspire people and make people feel passionate! The soldiers waved their arms, raised their throats, and roared!

The roar lasted for a while, and then stopped. Zhou Yang continued: "The old thief Maodun, Pingcheng besieged Emperor Gaozu, and his suicide note inflicted Gaohu, and the humiliation of the Chinese people was unprecedented! At that time, the Han Dynasty was invented and the national strength was weak, so he could not compete with the Huns. Emperor Gaozu endured humiliation and filth, and adopted a strategy of marriage to gain time for the Han Dynasty. Now, the Han Dynasty has been strong, defeated the Huns in Longcheng and annihilated more than 1.7 million Huns! The Huns have been defeated..."

"Long live the great man!" A tsunami cheer sounded like a tsunami, interrupting Zhou Yang's speech.

Defeating the Huns was the long-cherished wish of countless Chinese patriots. They fought for thousands of years but never realized it. Now, this excitement and joy are far from being described by the Han army. The soldiers were almost in a state of madness, waving their arms and waving their swords... All the crazy actions were so excited that they all appeared.

The soldiers of the Han army are also human beings. When such a huge excitement comes, how can they not yell or fall into madness?

"Woooo!" As the soldiers cheered, there were constant crying sounds, which made the soldiers cry with excitement.

Defeating the Huns was a fait accompli, but when Zhou Yang announced it in public and told the soldiers that it was the formal conclusion and it still had an exciting power. As soon as he said that, Zhou Yang was so excited that he trembled with excitement. He clenched his fists, pursed his lips tightly, and his face turned red, and his eyes burst into light. This was the most exciting moment when Zhou Yang came to the Han Dynasty. Although Zhou Yang had experienced a lot, he was also excited many times.

Li Guang, Cheng Buzhi, and Wei Qing and others were not as excited as Zhou Yang? Li Guang and Cheng Buzhi even covered their faces and cried. They knew very well that this victory was hard-earned.

The excitement continued until it took a long time to calm down. Zhou Yang calmed down his mind and continued to speak: "From now on, the Huns can no longer cause harm to the border, and the people no longer have to live in dire straits and heat, and the north will be peaceful! This is all your contribution, and it is your blood and life! Your achievements will be recorded in history forever! Your descendants will be proud of this! Your heroic stories will be eulogized forever!"

In Zhou Yang's speech, all the soldiers were excited and made such great achievements that they were praised by later generations. Is there anything more exciting than this?

It's impossible to have it!

"The powerful army of the Han army!" The soldiers roared excitedly, and the battle number soared into the sky and reached the sky!

"Brothers: I order you to dig the tomb of the old thief Maodun! Smash the bones of the old thief and raise the ashes of the old thief. If the old thief dies, you will not be at peace!" Zhou Yang turned his head suddenly and pointed his right hand towards the northwest of Longcheng. He was extremely powerful.

"Shatter the bones of the old thief and raise the ashes of the old thief. If the old thief dies, the soldiers are most happy about this matter. Who said that Maodun was too powerful back then and imposed unprecedented shame on the Han Dynasty?

Amid the cheers of the soldiers, Zhou Yang pulled the reins of the horse, and the chasing horse niggled and ran away. When he came to the foot of the mountain, Zhou Yang flew off the horse. Li Guang, Cheng Buzhi, Wei Qing and the others jumped off the horse and stood behind Zhou Yang.

"Go up the mountain!" Zhou Yang gave the order and climbed up the steps. At this time, the mountain road had been cleared out, the bodies of the Huns were moved away, and the ice and snow were also cleaned up. This was done by the Huns under the surveillance of the Han army.

Li Guang and Cheng Buzhi followed Zhou Yang up the mountain. Behind them were soldiers with outstanding military achievements. They cut down no less than one hundred heads in this battle, or they captured the Huns' officials and specially selected them for Zhou Yang to participate in this grand ceremony.

The digging of the ancestral tombs of the Huns has never happened in the ages! Not to mention that it has never happened in the ages, since the Three Kings and Five Emperors, it has never happened in the history of China for three thousand years. This is a grand ceremony in the ceremony, and all the soldiers are proud to participate in this matter!

Behind them were a few strong soldiers, carrying a heavy stone tablet, which was the "Borang City Monument", which was engraved with Sima Xiangru's "Borang City" text. After digging Maodun's grave, the monument was placed where Maodun's grave was located.

Although the mountain road was cleared, it was still not easy to walk. This was the reason why Zhou Yang had to walk without riding a horse. Everyone came to the top of the mountain in an orderly manner. Zhou Yang turned his head and saw a large army gathering at the foot of the mountain, a red world. The flags were rolling, stretching like picturesque, and the square was majestic. The Han army was as powerful as a rainbow and magnificent as a wave, which was very inspiring!

"With this heroic army, why worry about the Huns not defeating them!" Li Guang was extremely relieved.

This was a bit late, and the Huns had already defeated it, but it was still approved by everyone, and a sound of echoes rang out.

The soldiers rushed to cattle and sheep, began to set up incense tables, and prepared for sacrifices. The one who was going to sacrifice today was not someone else, but Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang. Because he surrounded Maodun in Pingcheng, he almost became Maodun's prisoner. Now he wanted to dig Maodun's tomb and sacrifice to him, not only rituals, but also a kind of comfort! Comfort those ancestors who fought endlessly to defeat the Huns!

Military officials, Shanyu, Yi Zhixie, and Ahuer, were captured alive, and the leaders, ministers and tribal kings of the Huns, and they were indispensable to watching the ceremony today. Without them, it would be too boring.

These fierce people who are usually powerful and kill the Han Dynasty like slaughtering pigs and dogs, all of them have their heads hanging down, without any anger, and are all trembling. They are as brave as Yi Zhixie, and their faces change color and they keep trembling.

Junchen Shanyu was still so stupid, like a puppet, asking him to go east, asking him to go west, and asking him to go south, and asking him to stand.

After the incense table was set up, Li Guang acted as the host of ceremonies and said loudly: "Sacrifice the mountains and rivers, sacrifice to the Great Master!" His voice was loud and powerful, which was exciting.

During the Qin and Han dynasties, he attached great importance to the sacrifices of mountains and rivers, so he was placed in his head. Zhou Yang picked up a stick of incense, lit it, and began to recite prayers to sacrifice to mountains and rivers. This prayer was the result of Zhou Yang and his friends' discussion. It was not very good. It was not as gorgeous as written by literati, but it had a sense of self-improvement, which was better than the magnificent.

"The spirit of Emperor Gaozu in heaven is known: ministers Zhou Yang, Li Guang, Cheng Buzhi, Wei Qing, Zhang Tong, Gongsun He, Gongsun Jian, Qin Yi, Qin Wuhui, Ding Jun, a meritorious soldier, comforted Emperor Gaozu in heaven, the Xiongnu has been broken!" Zhou Yang held the incense and shouted for sacrifice.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a thunder sounded, the sky shook and the earth shook, and the wind and clouds were lost.

Although the weather today is not like snowflakes flying and the sky is gloomy, there is no sun. It is a bit gloomy and it will not cause thunder. It is not impossible to thunder in winter, but it is extremely rare. This surprised Zhou Yang and the others and couldn't help but look up to the sky.

A huge fire cloud appeared in the sky, which was dozens of miles in a radius. The sky was originally a dark cloud without a little red, and it was even more impossible for a fire cloud to appear, which shocked Zhou Yang.

"That's Emperor Gaozu! It's Emperor Gaozu!" Li Guang and his friends looked up at the sky, looking at the burning clouds in the sky, feeling unspeakable, with a pious look on their faces, as if believers saw God.

"Great Master?" Zhou Yangda was surprised. Li Guang and the others were too irritated. They recognized Yunduo as a human. After a closer look, the Huo Shaoyun really looked like a personal face. It was a little bigger, and the prominent ones were the nose, the mouth shape, and the eyes.

"This...is it really Liu Bang?" Zhou Yang doubted the authenticity of science a little.

"Great Emperor is the son of the Red Emperor. He uses a three-foot sword to kill the white snake and rise up..." Cheng Bushi looked pious. Suddenly, the tiger's eyes widened, pointed at the sky, and shouted: "That's Baiyun, pressing the Red Yun! It's Baihuang! It's Baihuang's son!"

Zhou Yang saw that as Cheng Bushi said, another white cloud appeared in the sky, just below the red cloud. The two clouds seemed to be fighting, and the red clouds had the upper hand, and the white clouds were gradually decreasing and disappeared little by little, while the red clouds expanded little by little, getting bigger and bigger.

There are many legends of Liu Bang that have been passed down to this day. The most famous of them is the fact that he killed the white snake. Liu Bang was originally the head of the Sishui Pavilion and escorted his disciples to Mount Li. The disciples fled from time to time. Liu Bang thought that even if he arrived at Mount Li, he would be punished, so he simply let the disciples go. More than a dozen disciples thought that Liu Bang was a good person and was willing to follow him.

Liu Bang was drunk and sent someone to explore the road. The person who was exploring the road came back and said that there was a big snake in front of him blocking the road. Liu Bang was so drunk that he didn't care whether the snake was scary or not, and said wildly, "Why are you afraid of the hero?" He took advantage of the wine and walked with his sword and killed the white snake. At that time, Liu Bang was so drunk that after killing the white snake, he fell drunk on the road.

The people behind followed and said that an old lady was crying. They asked the old lady why she was crying. The old lady said that her son was killed. Someone asked her, why was your son killed? The old lady said that her son was Baidizi, who turned into a white snake, blocked the road, but was killed by Chidizi. She was crying for this matter.

These people thought the old lady was lying to beat her, but the old lady suddenly disappeared. When they saw Liu Bang and told him about the matter, Liu Bang was overjoyed. From then on, he regarded himself as the son of Emperor Chi.

This story was known to everyone at that time. Li Guang and others were so familiar with each other. When they saw the burning clouds and the like, they said that it was Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang. Because Liu Bang was the son of Emperor Chi, if it turned into a cloud, it should be red.

Li Guang and the others looked at the two fighting clouds, and were very happy and cheered in unison: "It turns out that the White Snake is the old thief of Maodun! The great Han defeated the Huns, this is God's will!"

Liu Bang was the son of Emperor Chi. Who among the soldiers knew about the killing of the White Snake? They were all very happy and shouted together: "Long live the great man!"

Zhou Yang stroked his forehead and thought blankly, "Is there really an oracle?" Zhou Yang could not explain this matter. There are many phenomena, which are still unexplainable today, two thousand years later. Just take it as a good omen.

"Mao Dun trapped Emperor Gaozu in Pingcheng and trapped China in a dangerous place. It is truly a great humiliation of China! I am digging the grave of the old thief Maodu today to avenge the shame of Emperor Gaozu!" Zhou Yang continued to pray.

"Boom!" Another earth-shaking thunder sounded, as if responding to Zhou Yang's prayer.

"Auspiciousness appears in heaven! Auspiciousness appears in heaven!" Li Guang, Cheng didn't know that they were no more than Zhou Yang. They were most convinced of this kind of thing. And when he was digging Maodun's grave, did Liu Bang see it with his own eyes and make them more happy?

"Dig the tomb of the old thief Maodun!" Li Guang, the emcee, raised his throat and howled, jumped to Maodun's grave in a few seconds, stroked Maodun's tombstone with his right hand, and said with a smile: "Miaodun's old thief Maodun, have you ever thought of today? If you do too many bad things, even if you die, you will not be at peace!"

"Raise your head and open your eyes wider!" Cheng Buzhi yelled at Yi Zhixie and other Hun ministers: "You see clearly how the great man dug up your ancestral grave!"

"Raise your head!" Li Guang jumped to Junchen Shanyu again, smiling so hard that he couldn't close his mouth: "Before the Great Wall War, you sent someone to squeeze me, Li Guang, and I said, "I want you to watch out for the ancestral tomb and dig it for me carefully. Isn't it going to be digging?"

Li Guang laughed so hard that his nose and eyes were squeezed into a ball, no different from laughing at Maitreya. Junchen Shanyu raised his head in response and stared at Maodun's grave, with a dull look on his face.

"Master, the tombstone is yours!" Li Guang handed a Mo knife to Zhou Yang and said with a smile: "Don't break it, we have to transport it back to Chang'an!"

Maodun’s tombstone is definitely the best souvenir. If it is brought back to Chang'an and left for future generations to see, it will definitely be inspiring. There will be no more exciting things than this!

Zhou Yang took the Mo Dao, came to Maodun's tomb, raised the Mo Dao and slashed it. Although Zhou Yang was not Mo Dao's hand, he was still very skilled in using Mo Dao. He was like a practice in the sword, and he slashed hard on the ice cube under the tombstone.

"Bang!" There was a loud noise, and ice chips flew.

Zhou Yang slashed the ice cubes one after another. Li Guang shook it hard, and the tombstone began to loosen. Zhou Yang tried harder and the tombstone was loosened. Cheng Bushi jumped over and worked with Li Guang, and with the help of Wei Qing and others, he carried the tombstone away.

After a brief look at the tombstone, it was intact, and Zhou Yang was very satisfied.

Li Guang, Cheng Buzhi, Wei Qing and others held Mo Dao and came to Maodun's grave and began to dig Maodun's grave. Although the ice and snow on the grave were thick, they could not withstand Mo Dao's slash and were quickly split.

Modao is not only a powerful weapon for killing people, but also a great choice for digging graves!

When he opened Maodun's coffin, the body had rotted. The soldier went up and threw the bones on the fire, cremating them into ashes. Then, the soldier threw the ashes around with his ashes.

Maodun, the greatest Chanyu in the history of the Huns, no longer exists, but only exists in historical books.

Li Guang and his friends flattened the cemetery, which was no different from the flat ground, so they stopped. The soldiers carried the stone tablet and put it on it, then fixed it, and the carving of stones was finished.

"Boom!" Just as the stone tablet was fixed, another thunder came from the sky. Zhou Yang looked up at the sky. The white clouds were gone, and the burning clouds quickly retreated, and soon disappeared. The faster it came, the faster it retreated.

"It's really an oracle?" Zhou Yang was a little confused. Even if it was a coincidence, it wouldn't be such a coincidence, right?

"God-Emperor Gao must be very pleased!" Li Guang, Cheng Buzhi, and they all raised their heads to the sky, and they all smiled like pistachios.

If this fire cloud was really Liu Bang, would it be happier than seeing Maodun's grave digging with his own eyes? Liu Bang's besieged in Pingcheng was the most shameful thing in China since Pangu opened the world! Zhou Yang and his friends dug Maodun's grave again, the most joyful thing since Pangu opened the world! There is nothing more thorough than revenge.

Yi Zhixie and the others looked at Zhou Yang and the others dug up Maodun's grave with a blank expression. They were all silent and did not dare to show off. Look at their appearance, this was not the holy land in their minds, and it seemed that it had nothing to do with them at all.

"Brothers: The tomb of the old thief Maodun has been dug! Dig the ancestral tomb of the Huns, and the Dragon City!" Zhou Yang stood on the top of the mountain and formally issued an order.

The Han army drove the Huns out and went to various hills to dig the graves of Shanyu in history. Teams of Huns, like thin dogs, dragged their weak bodies, began to demolish Longcheng under the surveillance of the Han army.

Although Longcheng is a holy land of the Huns, it is very crude. After the baptism of war, Longcheng has long been destroyed, but it has the shape of a city. Under the surveillance of the Han army, the Huns tried hard to demolish it, and there was no trouble, and Longcheng was razed to the ground!

If it weren't for those who knew this place well, at first glance, they really didn't know that this was once a holy land of the Huns, and it was no different from the ordinary wilderness. This was the result that Zhou Yang wanted.
Chapter completed!
