Han Dao world

Chapter 572
"How old are you? It's never too late to learn how to ride a horse." Liu Xie said, "But it's unnecessary to learn how to ride a horse in order to follow me to the Western Regions."

"Why?" Fu Shou's eyes darkened, and he subconsciously glanced at Xun Wenqian.

Xun Wenqian blinked, also a little puzzled.

"No matter how big the world is, the Central Plains is the root." Liu Xie smiled, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes. "As long as the Central Plains is stable, the people can live and work in peace and contentment, talents spring up like mushrooms, and there are people from generation to generation, even if the Western Expedition encounters some troubles, it will not affect the overall situation. Otherwise, no matter how far we go, it will be just a dream after all."

"Your Majesty is right." Xun Wenqian echoed: "Alexander's past mistakes are enough to serve as a warning. Qin unified the six countries, and he still has to fight for the survivors of the sixth generation. The world is so big, how can one or two generations of heroes be able to do it? Can it be achieved? Conquering the world cannot be hoped by one person at a time, it should be like a foolish old man moving a mountain, and the children and grandchildren will be endless."

Liu Xie looked at Xun Wenqian and nodded with satisfaction.

After naturally starting to study Western classics, Xun Wenqian's horizons were broadened, and her realm also improved significantly.Compared with Qi Fushou, she is also obviously more pragmatic, and she is not only satisfied with citing classics.

Fu Shou half-understood "Oh" and didn't ask again.

She has neither concept nor interest in Xizheng.The reason why he came to Liangzhou was at the request of Xun Yu.In contrast, she prefers Hedong, which has a better environment, to Liangzhou, which has harsh conditions.

Her biggest wish now is to give birth to a royal son to fulfill her duties as a queen.

We chatted for a while and had dinner together.It was getting dark, everyone went back to their houses, and Liu Xie went to He Shan's house.After washing, he went to bed and leaned against the head of the bed to read.

He Shan washed up, went to bed, and leaned against Liu Xie.She stretched her neck and leaned over to read the book for a while, feeling that it was not interesting, and turned her attention to Liu Xie.

After staring at Liu Xie's profile for a while, she suddenly said, "Your Majesty, are you really taking me to the West Sea?"

"Didn't you agree?" Liu Xie said without looking back.

"I just feel... want to ask again."

"You are not joking." Liu Xie said with a smile: "Besides, this is not a big deal."

"For His Majesty, it may not be a big deal. But for us, this is the biggest thing."

"Is it so serious?" Liu Xie put down his book and looked back at He Shan.

He Shan and Hu Xiu are both the daughters of the Qiang leader, and they are the Qiang people in the northern territory, which is the so-called Eastern Qiang.The Eastern Qiang was first defeated by the Han people, and later settled in Beidi and Anding.These Qiang people live mixed with the Han people, they are relatively Sinicized, and their strength is relatively stronger.When the Western Qiang rebelled, the Eastern Qiang also responded, and the momentum was very loud. It once spread to Hedong and Guanzhong, and they were unconvinced for a long time.

During the reign of Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty, Duan Jiong, who was in charge of the battle, won the support of the emperor, and he attacked with thunder.

Facts have proved that even if the big man is no longer in the sky, it is still more than enough to deal with these people.Duan Jiong led [-] cavalry into the expedition. It took more than two years and he beheaded nearly [-] people. He almost killed all the young and strong of the Eastern Qiang.

But killing can only cure the symptoms, not the root cause.After the coercion, the imperial court did not do a good job of follow-up appeasement.Time passed, but thirty years later, Dong Qiang slowly regained its vitality.If it cannot be handled properly, the Eastern Qiang will become a problem for the great Han in the near future.

To deal with the Eastern Qiang, we cannot deal with the Xianbei people outside the Great Wall, we must be educated and actively integrated.

This was also one of the reasons why Liu Xie was willing to accept He Shan and Hu Xiu.

When He Shan and Hu Xiu entered the palace, the Northland and the stable Dongqiang had a bottom line in their hearts, and Ma Chao's control of the Northland went much smoother.After the Xianbei people were defeated, Beidi was stable, and it would not take long before Beidi County could be restored.

He Shan's eagerness to follow westward is naturally not because she is greedy for fun, or because she wants to see the scenery of the West Sea and the hometown of the Queen Mother of the West.

He Shan met Liu Xie's eyes and grinned, revealing two small canine teeth. "General Zhenxi led his troops to the east, and His Majesty only had three or five thousand cavalry beside him. Although these are warriors selected from thousands of miles, they are also His Majesty's trust in us Qiang people..."

Liu Xie interrupted He Shan. "You Qiang people?"

"Ah?" He Shan looked at Liu Xie in confusion, her long eyelashes flickering.

Liu Xie considered for a moment. "Do you think Qiang people are different from Han people?"

He Shan stammered and dared not answer.

Liu Xie thought for a while, reached out and took He Shan into his arms, and patted her on the back. "Do you know who the Han people often refer to as Yanhuang?"

"There are two holy kings, one is Yandi and the other is Huangdi."

"Then do you know what Yandi's last name is?"

He Shan shook his head blankly.

"Emperor Yan's surname is Jiang." Liu Xie took He Shan's hand, and wrote a character Jiang in seal script on the palm of her hand, and then wrote a character Qiang in seal script. "What do you think these two words have to do with each other?"

He Shan made gestures by herself for a long time, thoughtful. "Your Majesty, is Emperor Yan also the ancestor of our Qiang people?"

"What do you say?"

"I don't know." He Shan tilted her head and thought for a while. "I'll ask Cai Lingshi tomorrow, she must know."

Liu Xie nodded encouragingly.

Of course, he could explain to He Shan the truth that Han and Qiang have the same origin, but this is definitely not as convincing as Cai Yan's explanation.Cai Yan is not only the daughter of the great Confucian Cai Yong, but her own knowledge has also been recognized by many people, even the Minister of Kanto can accept it.

The first thing he will do tomorrow is to persuade Cai Yan to construct a theory of the same origin of Han and Qiang culturally, so as to facilitate the enlightenment of the Qiang people and integrate the Qiang people into the Chinese nation as soon as possible.

Although he hadn't gotten a definite answer yet, He Shan was very happy, and talked to Liu Xie for a long time.

Although she and Hu Xiu are beauties in the palace, the rules are not strict, and they can only travel with a few female knights with the permission of Queen Fushou.They have obvious Qiang appearance, and are familiar with the language and customs of the Qiang people. They have known many family members of the leaders of the Qiang tribe, and have met some ordinary Qiang people. They know more information than Liu Xie has seen, and it is more real. .

Liu Xie defeated the western Xianbei in Xiutuze, which made the Qiang people respect and fear.They came to see him, not so much to support the imperial court, or to seek the interests of the trade route, but rather to see what kind of person the emperor is, and whether he will use force against them and threaten their survival.

After all, the Han people have always had a bad attitude towards the Qiang people.Ten years ago, the imperial court sent troops to conquer Xiqiang.

Liu Xie has always felt that his attitude towards the Qiang people is very sincere, the reasoning is very thorough, and the benefits are distributed fairly. .

After hearing He Shan's explanation, he realized that he was still too optimistic, those were just superficial articles.

After a short period of loss, he quickly relieved.

National integration has never been an easy task. If it can be resolved in three to five years, it will be abnormal.

The revolution has not yet succeeded.In other words, the journey of revolution has just begun.
