Hanbo

chapter 179

The next step is the dedication ceremony. 97 soldiers with outstanding military exploits each held a box and began to step forward one after another.

Each box contains a tanned head, and the basic process is the same as stepping on a flag.

Named, and then cheered, one box after another was lined up in front of Beique Gate, and after the Taimiao ancestor worship was completed, they would be hung on the wall of Beique Gate.

Huo Shan watched this scene quietly, just halfway through, Zhao Puonu came over and whispered a word into Huo Shan's ear.

Huo Shan immediately frowned and looked at Zhao Ponu, who nodded solemnly.

Huo Shan felt like beeping a dog in his heart, Er Shanyu was frightened to death, can you believe it?
Although the scene was grand, it wouldn't be scared to death, Huo Shan didn't even think about killing him!
And judging by his arrogant and domineering temperament, it doesn't seem like he can be intimidated?
Huo Shan dismounted from his horse, turned around and walked back, when he came to Er Shanyu's side, he saw Er Shanyu lying on the ground, Zuo Guduhou sat beside him with a blank expression on his face.

Seeing this scene, Huo Shan suddenly thought of an idiom, that is, a bird that is startled.

It is estimated that since they were captured by Huo Shan, they have been dreading the arrival of this day in their hearts, and now they were agitated by this grand scene, and then they couldn't hold on.

Like a bird hearing the sound of a bowstring.

Huo Shan was a little annoyed, he did not tell them that he would not kill them in order to scare them, and he felt a little regretful at this moment.

Huo Shan lowered his head and thought for a while, then waved to Dong Ming in front of him.

Dong Ming ran over, Huo Shan leaned into his ear and said something loudly, Dong Ming nodded after listening, cast a disdainful glance at Shan Yu, then turned and ran into the palace.

He originally wanted to enter through the Dongque Gate, but seeing the dense crowd...

Forget it, let's go to Beique!
Dong Ming walked along the base of the city wall to the Beique Gate, Huo Shan waved a small flag towards the gate tower, Xu Ziwei on the top nodded when he saw it.

When Dong Ming arrived at the city gate, the city gate just opened an inconspicuous crack, and Dong Ming got in.

Huo Shan stared at Liu Che on the city wall and waited quietly, and after a while, he saw Dong Ming beside him.

After Liu Che finished listening, he glanced at Huo Shan, then frowned and thought about it, then raised his hand and slashed down.

Huo Shan understood what to do after seeing the hand gesture, and looked back at Shan Yu and the two of them.

Huo Shan was a little hesitant, whether it would be bad to cut it off directly, but Liu Che ordered him to do so, so he could only follow through.

"Zhao Puonu, go, find some sticks and planks."

Zhao Puonu cupped his hands and left, and after a while came over with a few sticks and planks removed from the carriage and some ropes.

After seeing these things, Zuo Gudu showed a miserable smile, and his heart was already ashamed.

To be precise, he was implicated by Er Shanyu. If Er Shanyu hadn't been frightened to death, he would not have died.

Zhao Puonu led two soldiers and began to tie up Zuogu Duhou. His face was ashen, his whole body was soft, he had no strength in his body, and he did not resist at all.

After the left bone is tied, the next step is Er Shanyu.

First, he took off his coat, and tied wooden sticks to his back and thighs, so that he could straighten his body.

After all, it was Shanyu the Huns, even if he was chopped down, he couldn't just lie on the ground and be chopped down.

And they can't let the common people know that what they cut down is a death order.

Just at this time, the dedication ceremony was completed, but after waiting for a long time, the drumbeat hadn't come to mind, and the common people were a little riotous and talking a lot.

Huo Shan winked at Zhao Puonu, and then walked forward, Zhao Ponu led four soldiers, and the two of them followed Huo Shan's footsteps one by one.

When the common people saw the two people who were escorted out, they immediately realized that something was wrong and became excited.

Er Shanyu and the two were placed in front of Beique Gate, knelt down facing the direction of the gate, and the four soldiers retreated.

Just as Huo Shan was about to speak, Zuo Guduhou changed from kneeling to lying on his side on the ground.

Of course, this was not intentional, but because he had no strength and could not kneel.

Zhao Puonu stepped forward, lifted him up, and put him away again.

After kneeling down, Zuo Gudu raised his head and muttered something, although Huo Shan couldn't hear what he was saying, but after thinking about it carefully, it was nothing more than Changshengtian.

And Er Shanyu always kept his head down in the eyes of the common people.

Huo Shan waited quietly, waiting for Zuo Guduhou to complete his prayer ceremony for himself and Er Shanyu, and the people also waited quietly.

After the left bone capital was completed, he glanced at Huo Shan gratefully, then lowered his head.

The common people knew that the main show was coming, and all of them stretched their necks.

Huo Shan shouted loudly:
"This is the Marquis of Zuogu of the Xiongnu, a descendant of the Huyan clan."

The Northern Army repeated it, some of the people knew it, some didn't know it, and those who knew it explained it to those who didn't know it, and those who didn't know it knew it.

Huo Shan was about to continue introducing Er Shanyu when the Beique Gate opened wide, and a group of waiters in red and colorful came out surrounded by a person in the middle, and this person was holding a tray in his hand.

Huo Shan immediately guessed Liu Che's thoughts, he ignored these people, turned around and continued:

"This is Wushilu Shanyu, the Xiongnu."

The people were a little puzzled, they had never heard of this name, and a person suddenly shouted:

"Wu Shilu is Er Shanyu."

The people suddenly realized.

After Huo Shan finished speaking, he turned around and half-kneeled on the ground facing Liu Che on the city wall, and gave a military salute.

Then he got up and went to the waiters beside him, picked it up with both hands solemnly, then walked to Er Shanyu's side, raised the snake-slaying sword in his hand and shouted:

"In the past, the great ancestor Zhan Baisnake rebelled and established my great man's foundation. This is exactly what I used. This is my great Han's kingdom-defending artifact—the Snake Sword!"

After the Northern Army finished retelling, everyone present was taken aback for a moment, and then the people in front were overjoyed and rushed forward.

The story of cutting the white snake has been widely circulated. The people of Dahan are convinced that this story is true, and they all want to see what this artifact looks like.

Not only the common people, but also the civil and military soldiers of the Manchu Dynasty who surrounded the surrounding area and the city wall had never seen this artifact.

They also involuntarily took two steps forward, stretched their necks to probe their brains, and they also wanted to see the appearance of Snake Sword.

The big man has three treasures, namely the snake-killing sword, the flying head, and the saint's clogs.

The Snake Sword is the sword used by Gaozu to cut the white snake, the sage clogs are Confucius' clogs, um, they are shoes, and the flying head is Wang Mang's head.

They are three legendary and mysterious items, so they are called exotic treasures.

Needless to say, the clogs of the sage Confucius.

The story of Gaozu beheading the white snake is widely spread. Gaozu beheaded the son of the White Emperor for the son of the Red Emperor. After word of mouth among the people, this incident became one of the evidences of Liu Bang's orthodoxy.

And after Liu Che came to the throne, dismissed all schools of thought, only respected Confucianism, and the idea of ​​divine right of kings became popular, and everyone believed in this story even more.

And the later Wang Mang usurped the Han with the same method of the divine right of kings, but after he was defeated and killed, Liu Xiu did not refute him, but established his orthodoxy.

However, Liu Xiu gave him a name, that is, the son of Baidi.

At the beginning Gao Zu beheaded him, and now he reincarnated to overthrow the rule of the Han Dynasty, but the White Emperor can only rule for a while, this orthodoxy will always belong to the Red Emperor, Liu Xiu once again established the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty.

And Wang Mang's head was kept as a trophy, and also as a deterrent for the big man against rebellious officials and thieves.

These three things, the Snake-Slaying Sword, symbolize political order, while Wang Mangtou symbolizes rule, and Confucius clogs start from the Liu Che Dynasty, and this thing symbolizes orthodoxy.

These three things have been preserved for a long time. It was not until 295, when the arsenal of the Western Jin Dynasty was destroyed, that these three things were buried in the sea of ​​flames.

Of course, there is no Wang Mangtou yet.

However, the Snake Sword and Confucius Clogs already exist. With the rule of Confucianism for decades, the status of Confucius Clogs has gradually risen.

Although there is no saying of orthodoxy in the world, the rhetoric of orthodoxy has already begun to appear.

And the Snake Sword is a veritable political order, not only a political order, but also a symbol of orthodoxy.

And it is extremely mysterious.

In today's big Han, the significance of the snake-slaying sword is higher than that of the Jade Seal of Chuanguo to a certain extent. After all, it has only been more than a hundred years since the fall of the Qin Dynasty.

Although the Chuanguo Yuxi was missing after Jiuding, it symbolized the orthodoxy of China, and Han inherited from Qin, it also symbolized the orthodoxy of Great Qin.

However, now it is the world of the Han Dynasty, the Jade Seal of Chuanguo will inevitably be downplayed, and the Snake Sword will be held high.

That's why the common people and courtiers were so excited after hearing about the Snake Slaying Sword.

This is a veritable artifact of the Great Han Dynasty!

But now Huo Shan has a headache, because this is an ordinary sword, which has been preserved for more than 100 years, and it is not a magical weapon at all.

So can it cut Er Shanyu's neck with one sword?

If something does go wrong, it's a lot of fun.

But this step has been reached, no matter what, this sword has to be cut down, and it must be cut with the Snake Sword.

.........

Huo Shan looked at the agitated crowd and quickly shouted:
"His Majesty bestows upon me the Snake-Slaying Sword..."

Hearing Huo Shan speak again, everyone fell silent, and Huo Shan continued to shout:
"Today, the Marquis of Ben will take the artifact of our Great Han Dynasty, cut off the head of the Xiongnu Shanyu, and break the luck of the Huns to rule the country."

After Bei Jun's retelling, everyone felt a surge of enthusiasm, even Liu Che was no exception.

This is really uplifting!

"Kill Shanyu, ruin the fate of the country!"

"Kill Shanyu, ruin the fate of the country!"

"Kill Shanyu, ruin the fate of the country!!!"

……

Huo Shan drew out the snake-slaying sword in his hand, put the scabbard back on the tray, and then came to Er Shanyu's right with the long sword in his hand, and the people all held their breath.

Huo Shan stretched out his left hand, touched Er Shanyu's neck, exerted all his strength, and with all his strength, directly twisted Er Shanyu's neck.

Then he raised the Snake Slaying Sword and chopped off Er Shanyu just before his head drooped.
