Chapter 457: Valhalla
Thank you to the aaron121200 brothers for the two monthly passes! Thanks to the qgtr brothers for the tip!
It doesn't matter whether Qiang Qu has a conspiracy or whether he has the courage or not, as long as this kind of thing can plant seeds, then even if Qiang Qu himself explains it at that time, it will have no effect!
Cao Cao understands the intentions of Hou Shan Yu, but it doesn't matter, the reason why he proposed this thing is just to knock on Hou Shan Yu, so that he understands that he has always been controlled under the Great Wei, if one day he has two hearts, then the Qiangqu Shan Yu in his hand is the best card!
This meaning was integrated into Cao Cao's words, and he said it vaguely, which made Hou Shan Yu, who heard it clearly, even more frightened, this meal, Cao Cao and Xu Shu both ate well, but Hou Shan Yu of Xu Bu Gu Du was extremely uncomfortable.
In this grassland battle, the 10,000 cavalry led by Ma Chao suffered extremely heavy losses, and the battle loss rate of the soldiers under his command exceeded 60%.
In a short period of time, it is unlikely that the 10,000 cavalry under Ma Chao will go on the expedition, and it will take a lot of time just to replenish the appropriate soldiers and rest.
During the preparation of the Wei army, Cao Cao also let these tribal leaders in the fields and grasslands who had just arrived here meet, after all, from now on they can be regarded as ministers of the same palace.
In November of the second year of Wei Hongwu, the Wei army began to return to China, and this time Cao Cao was followed by nearly a thousand grassland leaders, large and small, who would follow Cao Cao into Daliang and accept the canonization of Cao Cao, the emperor of Great Wei and the great Shan Yu of the grassland, and then return to the grassland. Continue to rule their tribe and contribute to Cao Cao.
Besides. In the ranks of the class division, the army of 200,000 carried nearly 70,000 Xianbei prisoners of war. Heading towards the interior of the Central Plains, the fate of these Xianbei captives was apparently the same as their predecessors, who were reduced to slavery and helped build roads.
Since the appearance of Xianbei slaves, the pressure on the construction of the internal affairs of Wei State has been reduced a lot, after all, for these Xianbei slaves, as long as they don't starve to death, they don't even have to pay wages or anything. It's no wonder that the pressure doesn't lessen.
Ten days later, the 200,000 army entered the Great Wall, after leaving the Xianbei slaves, the speed of the 200,000 army has accelerated a lot, only more than ten days have passed, with the completion of the straight road, the 200,000 army has almost returned to the Liang.
At this time, Daliang was crowded with people, and almost all the people in Daliang City poured out to greet Cao Cao, as early as when Cao Cao's class returned. Cao Cao's elimination of Xianbei, and at the same time, the news that the voice of the Han people became the great Shan Yu of the grassland has already spread all over the world.
The steppe is a big single Yu, although in the eyes of most Han Chinese. This position is not as good as a king of the Central Plains, but Cao Cao can become a great Dan Yu as the emperor of the Great Wei as a Han person. At the same time, he was also the first Han Chinese to rule the grassland since Xia. Such glory and splendor were enough to make all the people under the rule of Great Wei crazy. Some scholars even shouted that this is a prosperous time.
The emperor of the three southern kingdoms, looking at the Great Wei on the map that suddenly expanded nearly the entire northern territory, his face was responsible, but he felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart, and the Great Wei, who completely ruled the grassland, at this time, for the three southern kingdoms, it was completely like a giant, and the difficulty of defeating this giant was not one or two points.
Even Cao Cao himself did not expect that the unification of the grassland would make the three southern kingdoms that were originally still careful to be completely frightened, at least Liu Biao and Liu Zhang in Jingzhou did not send troops to the north at all, and only prayed that Cao Cao would not take the initiative to attack.
The world is disturbed, Cao Cao didn't know at this time, looking at the cheering people outside Daliang City, Cao Cao did not directly hit the horse into the city, but turned around and went in another direction, and the army and generals behind him seemed to know the direction Cao Cao was going, without the slightest delay, they also followed Cao Cao in another direction.
The sudden turn of the army made the people who came to greet them a little puzzled, and some curious people followed closely and followed the army closely.
Valhalla, Cao Cao proposed to build the earliest place, specifically used to place the bones of the fallen soldiers, and at the same time, it will not only place the bones of the fallen soldiers, but also carve a wooden plaque next to its spiritual seat to give a brief introduction to his life deeds, so that people who come to pay their respects can know where the martyr is from and in which battle he died on the battlefield.
Since the completion of Valhalla, there have been many people in the vicinity of Valhalla every day, either to pay respects to those who died in battle, or to commemorate them, but today, Valhalla is surrounded by a sea of people, 200,000 troops and people in the beams, completely filling up the vicinity of Valhalla.
Valhalla is located ten miles north of Daliang City, this is a place of beautiful mountains and rivers, Valhalla is backed by lush straight green hills, in front of which a clear river meanders through it, and several large wooden bridges have been built over the small river, and people must pass through these wooden bridges to reach Valhalla.
Valhalla, similar to the towers of later generations, is a high-platform building, that is, a high platform is built out of earth, and then the building is built on the high platform, and the earth platform below is wrapped with various buildings such as stairs.
Although such a building is huge, it has an advantage, that is, the momentum is particularly grandiose and magnificent, which is exactly what Cao Cao needs, not to mention that since there are foreign slaves, the only thing that Wei does not worry about is to build this aspect.
Valhalla is divided into two layers, a total of nine floors, each floor is as high as eight meters in the hollow, the first to the fifth floor is the Hall of Heroic Souls, belonging to the place where the soldiers who died in battle are placed, there is a huge wooden statue erected in the center, six meters high.
This statue is the image of a soldier in uniform, standing with a sword in armor, and his appearance is lifelike, but the image of this statue looks like Cao Cao.
It turned out that it was the official who presided over the construction of this Valhalla who came up with it, and wanted to pat Cao Cao's ass, and now this official has been questioned and dealt with for corruption, but this statue has been here for a long time.
There is a couplet on the left and right of this statue, which was written by Cao Cao himself with a pen, and the book "Iron Bone Dan Heart Conquers the World, Blue Blood and Yellow Sand to Death"
The sixth to ninth floors of Valhalla are the Temple of the God of War, and the bones of ordinary fallen soldiers will not be placed here, only if they have made great achievements in front of them, and after death, the ashes can be placed in the Temple of the God of War.
Cao Cao led the army and some of the people of Daliang who followed him, and arrived at the front of Valhalla, looking at the towering tower in front of him, all his expressions became serious and heavy. (To be continued......)
