The word "side by side" king of the Tang Dynasty

In feudal society, offering sacrifices to heaven and earth was an extremely grand and complicated matter.

Be it etiquette, altars or sacrifices, they are all very particular.

Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling spent two full days arranging everything needed for the sacrifice.

At the top of Langjuxu Mountain, a huge altar was built.

In 618 AD, on December 19, King Wu Li Changqing offered sacrifices to heaven and earth at Langjuxu Mountain and set up a monument to commemorate his merits in recognition of his immortal contribution to the destruction of the Turks!

"Boom——"

Seven quarters before sunrise, when the hour came, the war drums of the white-robed army roared to the sky, the sound was like thunder, and they sounded eighty-one times in a row.

Li Changqing led his advisors and generals to walk all the way to the altar at the top of Langjuxu Mountain.

When Li Changqing walked up to the altar, the ceremony of worshiping heaven officially began!

Fang Xuanling stood at the left rear of Li Changqing and shouted loudly:"Welcome the God!"

Two dragon-riding guards respectfully placed the throne of the Emperor of Heaven on the altar.

The god is in place, and fireworks are raised in the wood stove, using fireworks to convey the earth's respect for heaven to heaven.

After the fireworks rose, Fang Xuanling shouted again:

"kneel!"

Li Changqing and all the soldiers of the three armies present immediately knelt on the ground.

"bye!"

The soldiers of the three armies knelt and stood motionless. Li Changqing went to the throne of the Emperor of Heaven and knelt down.

One bow and three kowtows!

Sacrifice to heaven, only he is qualified to kneel and kowtow.

The rest of the people can only kneel and kowtow.

Three After bowing nine times, Li Changqing stood up.

Fang Xuanling loudly said again:"Sacrifice!""

Nine green bulls and nine white horses were slaughtered on the spot as sacrifices. At the same time, Li Changqing washed his hands with water, took the well-preserved head of Jieli Khan from Cheng Yaojin's hand, and placed it on the altar! Behead it!

A green ox and a white horse were used as a sacrifice to heaven with the head of a barbarian monarch. This was the first time in the history of the world!

Even the Emperors of Qin and Han Dynasty had no such generosity! After the sacrifice was delivered, Li Changqing faced the south to the heaven and earth, bowed three more times, and then He stood up.

At this time, Du Ruhui's face was solemn and he loudly recited the sacrificial words:"King Wu of the Tang Dynasty, Fuwei Huangtian God.

In November of the first year of Wude, King Wu led his army out of Youzhou. There are many brave beasts, they drive six times, they are struck by lightning and thunder, they drink from the sea of ​​​​horses, they seal the wolves to live in the mountains, they draw large rivers to the west, and all the counties pray together.

Fuxi River, Jue Damen, broke Zhiyan, attacked the royal court, chased northward through the end of the land. Crossing Lihou Mountain and crossing the Gonglu River, we marched for three thousand miles. It took one month to wipe out one million Turkic troops.

Today, at Langjuxu Mountain, we offer sacrifices to heaven and earth to express the merits of King Wu and the merits of the White-robed Army!"

After the sacrificial words were recited, Li Changqing threw the leather with the sacrificial words into the altar and burned it together with Jieli Khan's head!

At this point, the sacrifice ended.

Li Changqing stood on the altar wearing armor, with a red cloak behind him..

He pressed the Seven-Star Longquan Sword with his hand, faced the heaven and earth, and said loudly:

"I led the white-robed army to the north and killed millions of Turkic soldiers to shock the barbarians in all directions. You should erect a monument on Langjuxu Mountain to commemorate your merits to commend the contributions of all the soldiers in the army!

After saying that, his eyes were like lightning and he shouted:"Erect a monument!""

Cheng Yaojin and Yu Chigong carried a five-foot-high bluestone tablet and erected it on the top of Langjuxu Mountain! On the bluestone tablet, there were densely written inscriptions. The seven characters on the tablet were extremely conspicuous:

King Wu destroyed the Turks in Here!

After the bluestone monument was erected, Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong suddenly shouted loudly:

"Shock the barbarians in all directions with the blood of Turks! Anyone who offends our Tang Dynasty will be punished no matter how far away they are!"

When the officers and soldiers of the three armies heard this, they all looked up to the sky with red faces and thick necks and shouted:

"Use the blood of Turks to shock the barbarians in all directions! Anyone who offends our Tang Dynasty will be punished no matter how far away they are!"

"Shock the barbarians in all directions with the blood of Turks! Anyone who offends our Tang Dynasty will be punished no matter how far away they are!"

A series of inspiring roars surged over Langjuxu Mountain.

In this place where few Han people have set foot, they are proclaiming the majesty of the Tang Dynasty to the world!

Li Changqing stood on the top of the mountain, looking down at the boundless desert below.

When the soldiers of the three armies were excited, After he calmed down, he said:

"In this battle, the Turks were defeated. When the army returns to Youzhou, everyone will be rewarded based on their merits!"

When all the soldiers heard this, they were all very happy.

Li Changqing shouted again:"Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi respectfully listen to your orders!"

The second general stepped out and bowed respectfully:"The last general is here!"

"I order you two to lead 10,000 Mo Dao Guards and transport the 6.57 million cattle and sheep and 360,000 war horses captured by the Turks to be transported back to Youzhou!"

"The general takes command!"

"Qin Qiong obeys the order!"

"The end will be here!"

"I order you to lead 10,000 Mo Dao Guards to garrison Monan to prevent the Western Turks from taking the opportunity to go south!"

"Li Jing obeys the order!"

"The end will be here!"

"In the end, he will definitely fulfill his mission!"

"Fang Xuanling obeys the order!"

"Wei Chen is here!"

"I order you to write a battle report and send it to the court in Chang'an and to the people all over the world!"

"promise!"

"Du Ruhui obeys the order!"

"Wei Chen is here!"

"I order you to bury the soldiers who died in the battle at Langjuxu Mountain. And record the names of the officers and soldiers, and engrave them on the walls of Youzhou in the names of martyrs for the people of the world to see!"

As soon as Li Changqing said these words, all the officers and soldiers of the three armies were moved.

In this era, it is the most common thing to die in battle and have your bones buried in a foreign land.

Death in battle is also unknown.

Family members can get some pensions, even if It's a relatively good treatment.

But Li Changqing wants to engrave the names of the soldiers who died in the battle on the Youzhou city wall with the names of martyrs!

In this way, everyone in the world will know the names of the soldiers who died in the battle!

Some fathers and sons were in the army, or brothers were in the army, and one of them died in the battle. They all cried bitterly and shouted for the benevolence and righteousness of King Wu. After issuing orders one by one, Li Changqing led the remaining 40,000 Mo swordsmen. Guards, return to Youzhou.
