Han Dao world

Chapter 1198
Not surprisingly, Zhang Dun politely declined Shen You's solicitation and insisted on going west to see the great city of Rome.

Shen You could only express regret.

He just expressed regret, but Tang Suhe really regretted it.In a short period of time, she has already admired Zhang Dun's wife so much.This Han woman who was about her age was not only familiar with poetry and books, but also proficient in martial arts, riding and shooting better than her Xianbei.

If Zhang Dun is willing to stay, she can have another good girlfriend, and in the future, the commanding army will also have a powerful helper.

But all of this came to naught because of Zhang Dun's stubbornness.

After wandering around for a day, Lu Xun set off with the caravan and continued westward.

Shen You and Tang Suhe went to see him off.

Compared with Shen You, Tang Suhe was more reluctant to give up. He took Sun Shangxiang's hand and talked and said, and gave and gave.

The accompanying businessman saw it and admired it secretly.

This Han couple is so outstanding, they are popular everywhere, and they will definitely become celebrities when they come to Rome in the future.

After parting with Lu Xun and Sun Shangxiang, Shen You and Tang Suhe continued eastward and rushed to Ke Bineng's camp before the knights of the Western Regions Protectorate delivered their armaments to Ke Bineng.

As expected by Shen You, Ke Bi Neng was envious when he saw the ordnance sent by the Protectorate of the Western Regions.

If Tang Suhe hadn't arrived, he would have withheld part of it to equip his personal guard cavalry.

Especially those thirty sets of horse armor, he really couldn't put it down, and he refused to put it down after picking it up.The armor cavalry left a deep impression on him, he always dreamed of owning a real armor cavalry.

Speaking of armored cavalry, the earliest armored cavalry was actually formed by Xianbei people.It's just that the Han people have superb craftsmanship, and they came from behind to create better horse armor and build stronger armored cavalry, which in turn defeated the Xianbei's armored cavalry.

After seeing the armored cavalry of the Han people, Ke Bineng no longer looked down on the armored cavalry of the Xianbei people.

The gap is too big.

It took a lot of effort and promised that he was willing to serve as Ke Bineng's personal guard cavalry general, Tang Suhe finally took these ordnance into his pocket, and then went to try them on excitedly.

Shen You then reported the situation on the front line to Ke Bineng.

After marching with Hardy for several months, he had a more detailed understanding of this grassland, and he drew the distribution and strength of each tribe on a map, and spread it out in front of Ke Bineng.

Looking at this well-detailed map, Kebi can be thankful that he made the right choice this time.

It is right to leave Xun Yun to guard the camp, and to use Shen You as the commander of the marching army.In terms of combat capability, Shen You far surpasses Xun Yun.With such a map, and with Shen You assisting in the military staff, his chances of winning this prairie are greatly increased.

If you are lucky, you can even seize the territory of the Scythians, take over the business with the Romans, and achieve all the goals of the westward march.

The only problem is that the Protectorate of the Western Regions has been stationed in Guishuang, and the pasture between the two rivers has also become the jurisdiction of the Protectorate of the Western Regions. His promise to the Japanese Law Deduction may not be fulfilled.

Just when Kebi Neng felt guilty about Rilu Deduction and Hardy, the Scythian envoys rushed to his camp.

Hardy attacked our town, killed dozens of people, and more importantly, he violated our customs and insulted our dignity.If you don't apologize, make adequate compensation, and promise never to harm the Scythians again, we will gather all our allies and attack you until we drive you out of this steppe, or kill them all.

Facing the anger of the Scythian envoy, Ke Bineng's answer was simple and rude. He directly pulled out the ring head knife, chopped off the envoy's head, and asked the envoy's entourage to bring back a sentence.

I, the commander-in-chief of Xianbei under the command of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, Ke Bineng, follow the imperial edict of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty to march westward.You barbarians, if you don't surrender, you will die, needless to say.

After driving away the Scythian envoys, Kebineng immediately sent an order to Hardy.

The matter was caused by you, and you have to take responsibility for it.Before I arrive, you can fight anyone, as long as you can't lose the battle, don't suffer heavy losses, and lose my face.

The atmosphere on the prairie suddenly became tense.

-

In the ninth year of Jian'an, in May, Jiangling.

Standing on the high slope by the river, Liu Xie was filled with emotion as he watched the turbid torrential water.

A sudden heavy rain turned half of Nanjun into a country of Ze, and also wiped out his idea of ​​using Jiangling as his capital.

In the first month, during the joint meeting of the two governments, the issue of establishing the capital was mentioned.

The world has been settled, and the war in Jiaozhou is going very smoothly. Sun Ce has driven straight into the battle and won consecutive victories. Shi Xie brothers are not opponents at all.

But Liu Xie was not satisfied with Chang'an and Luoyang.

Where China should set its capital is a question that has been debated for thousands of years.

Facts have proved that as the geographical center, Chang'an is the best, but the Guanzhong Plain cannot support too many people. During the Han and Tang Dynasties, they suffered from water transportation, and the Tang Dynasty even had to go to Luoyang for food.

Luoyang looks better, the water transportation is smoother, and there is no risk of food shortage, but Luoyang has no danger to defend.

As for the present Ji County—later Beijing, it is even more inappropriate to live in a corner.

After much deliberation, I decided to visit Jiangling first.

There is a saying in later generations that the lakes are vast and the world is full. The north and south of the river are the center of gravity of the economy, the two lakes plain is larger than the Guanzhong plain, and the Yangtze River is a natural golden waterway.Taking Jiangling as the capital seems to be a good choice.

Zhang Song, the Zuo Changshi of Situ Mansion, put forward such a suggestion, but it was rejected as soon as it was put forward.The reason is that although Jiangling was once the capital of Chu State, its foundation is too poor, far inferior to Chang'an and Luoyang.If Jiangling is to be established as the capital, it will be necessary to build a large number of buildings, which is not in line with the current purpose of economic development.

However, scholars from the three states of Jing Yiyang were quite enthusiastic about it. Zhang Song found an opportunity and directly reported this plan to Liu Xie.

Liu Xie was also a little moved, but he was more cautious, knowing that Jiangling did not have a history as a capital in later generations, and there must be practical reasons for it, so he didn't give any opinion, but just proposed to take a look.

From this point of view, he roughly understood Jiangling's limitations.

The terrain is too low and the floods are too serious.

Even if there is a super project like the Three Gorges Dam to regulate the water volume in later generations, this area still faces the threat of flood disasters from time to time.As far as the current engineering technology is concerned, here in Lidu, one must be mentally prepared to be a fisherman at any time.

Of course, Jiangling also has a natural flaw: it is too far away from northern Xinjiang.

At least in the foreseeable future, the nomads on the northern grasslands are still the main threat to China.The capital is too far away from the northern border, which will seriously affect the frontier policy.

Moving from Chang'an to Luoyang has made the imperial court's policy towards the Hu people tend to be appeasement. After arriving in Jiangling, I am afraid that there is even less sense of urgency.

Jiangling can only serve as a partial capital at most, not the capital.

"General Hussars, Taiwei, what's your opinion on Dingdu?"

Zhang Ji opened his mouth, and said a few words, but he couldn't say a complete sentence, so he simply closed his mouth.

Anyway, he also knew that he was just a display.The person the emperor really wants to ask is Jia Xu.Bringing him along is just to save face.

No other ministers were present, and Jia Xu was not polite.

"Why don't you try dividing the two capitals, Your Majesty?"
