Destiny Only Han

Chapter 236
In the east of Kaifeng City, an ox cart slowly drove out of the city gate.

Fan Zeng sat in the car with a gloomy face, just like the sky covered with dark clouds at this moment.

After a while, light rain started to fall.

Although it is summer at the moment, in Fan Zeng's perception, it is the autumn wind and autumn rain that make people feel sad.

"Liu Ji, you are not human..."

He gritted his back molars and started swearing in native slang.

During this period of time, under the auspices of Chen Ping, the countermeasures have been a great success.

Fan Zeng and Xiang Yu, who were already somewhat suspicious of each other, parted ways completely after a dispute.

To be precise, it was Fan Zeng who was kicked out of the temple of Western Chu.

Looking at the endlessly flowing river in the distance, Fan Zeng felt more and more empathy for Qu Yuan.

"The water of the Canglang is clear and can wash my tassels; the water of the Canglang is turbid and can wash my feet..."

The bullock cart slowly moved forward along the dirt road, alone, showing endless sadness.

…………

Guangyang County, Zhuo County.

Thousand rides roll Hiraoka.

At this moment, surrounded by thousands of troops, Liu Ying's carriage galloped on the uneven dirt road, heading north all the way.

Liu Ying was sitting in the car, leaning on the sofa, her face was pale, and she shifted her head from time to time so as to shake her left and right brain evenly.

Opposite him was Zang Tu, who looked like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, stroking the interior decorations of the carriage up and down.

Among other things, a sofa with a small spring support at the bottom is enough to subvert Zang Tu's cognition.

Their trip is to go to the north to complete the alliance.

The main body of the alliance is naturally the remnants of the Donghu who fled eastward after being defeated by the Huns in a blitzkrieg.

One of them takes Wuhuan Mountain as its home, so it is called Wuhuan, and the other one takes Da Xianbei Mountain as its home, so it is called Xianbei.

Compared with the Xiongnu whose organizational form is close to that of Xia and Shang, Donghu is more of a primitive tribal alliance, and there is actually no affiliation relationship between them.

Because of this, it was defeated by the Huns in the First World War.

The Xianbei King and Wuhuan King who Liu Ying went to the alliance this time signed a brotherly alliance with them, making them vassals of the Han Dynasty.

At this time, the Huns were in the process of digesting the negative impact brought about by the over-expansion in the early stage, and they were completely unable to conquer east and west.

Mao Dun's energy at the moment is focused on forming a series of official positions such as the right and left wise kings, the right and left households, and the training of the Aries King and others, so that he can completely control the grassland he captured.

After all, the grassland is vast, and although there are no roads, there are actually roads everywhere.

In the nomadic state, the feudal system is completely unsuitable for them, and even if Modu wants to centralize power, it is completely impossible.

What Liu Ying has to do is to take advantage of this opportunity to make arrangements in advance.

Doing business with Xianbei Wuhuan is only the first step. The second step is to use the road widened by the caravan to speed up the exchanges between the two sides, so that these people will become part of the great Han as soon as possible.

What the two names Wuhuan and Xianbei represent, Liu Ying is still clear.

Especially the latter is an amazing existence.

It’s just that it’s important to pay attention to it, not to mention that they are still in a state of lingering, even if they became stronger later, it was just because the Central Plains Dynasty’s eyes were always on the Xiongnu in the west.

At this time, the average temperature is high and the rainfall is abundant, so a large number of nomadic tribes can be raised on the Gobi in the northwest frontier.

In the same way, in the later Tang Dynasty, under the overall warm and rainy climate, even the barren Qinghai-Tibet Plateau could support a huge Tubo Dynasty.

Don't talk about sending girls to send technology. In the era of handicraft industry, there is no technical threshold for farming and smelting.

The most important thing is the uncanny workmanship of nature, and the fact that they have produced several very capable monarchs.

When the average temperature dropped year by year, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau returned to its ancient desolation.

As a result, the Tubo Dynasty is no longer, but in the north, another empire that dominates the world is gradually becoming glorious in suffering.

Therefore, in order to avoid such a thing from happening, Liu Ying still intends to take advantage of this short warm period to occupy all the places that are threatening in future generations.

Afterwards, it was natural to slowly immigrate to Shibian and lay a transportation network. When the proportion of the main ethnic group exceeds that of the aborigines, it will completely become an inseparable part of the Han Dynasty.

In the carriage, although Zang Tu wanted to say something to Liu Ying, Liu Ying, who was motion sick, did not talk about sex at all.

In his mind, he constructed a transaction form for doing business with Wuhuan Xianbei.

ginseng.

This kind of thing that is famous in later generations is what he wants most.

Although many myths about ginseng have been shattered under scientific experiments, the rich ginsenosides in it still have great benefits for the human body.

Liu Taigong and Liu Bang are both old, and these nourishing medicinal materials will most likely allow them to live for a few more years.

Especially Liu Bang, if his body could be better than the original historical line, maybe people like Peng Yue and Han Xin would not have to die.

But the most important thing is the relationship between Liu Ying and Lu Zhi.

When Liu Bang was alive, Lu Pheasant looked like a harmless little cat, only showing his paws occasionally.

In reality, however, this is just an illusion.

If Liu Bang is the real dragon soaring above the nine heavens, flying clouds and spreading rain, then Lu's pheasant is undoubtedly the divine bird that only has the majestic phoenix and never inhabits it.

When the time is right, it will soar into the sky.

The phoenix sings, in that high hill; the phoenix tree grows, in the rising sun.

This seems to be a very wonderful thing. With the escort of Lu Zhi, Liu Ying, the baby boy, can walk more smoothly.

But ideas are always different from person to person, even between mother and child.

Lu Zhi has developed the habit of intervening in politics. After starting to point out major national affairs, if he agrees with Liu Ying's ideas, it will be very good.

But what if it is inconsistent?

There must be some open and secret struggle between the two sides.

Take a chestnut.

After Liu Fei was crowned King of Qi, his land and population were actually no less than that of the Guanzhong land directly controlled by the Han Empire.

Moreover, Qidi has the advantages of fish and salt, and the folk customs are aggressive, and it is one west and one east of Guanzhong.

In this way, in Lu Zhi's view, Liu Fei has the capital to fight against Liu Ying.

In fact, in the subsequent eradication of Zhu Lu, Liu Fei's family also contributed a lot.

So, if Lu Zhi wanted to kill Liu Fei, would Liu Ying stop him?
Interrupting it will hurt the mother-child relationship, so if he just sits idly by, can he watch this elder brother who grew up with him being killed by his own mother?

Obviously, no.

Therefore, Liu Ying needs Liu Bang to live for a few more years, so that she can have more political capital, and can successfully take over from Liu Bang, facing the south as respect.

And Liu Ying is sure that in the past ten years, many simple industrial layouts have been completed in Guanzhong.

In this way, the Qi Kingdom, which is only a small workshop and handicraft industry, has only one way to become a loyal vassal of the Han Empire.

After all, economic strength determines the right to speak.

As for Qi Ji and Liu Ruyi?

Well, Liu Ying, who can lie down and win even if she doesn't do anything, if she can still be stolen after gaining her own power...

Is his title of General Tiance just for stubbornness?

A moment later, in the reed shed outside Zhuoxian County, King Xianbei and King Wuhuan who came to the alliance were completely shocked by the almost overwhelming cavalry.

Just because the clothes of those people were almost exactly the same as those of the Huns who conquered Donghu.

The only difference is that their buns are combed like people from the Central Plains.

Well, although some Hu Qi shaved off the hair on the top of their heads to wear helmets, after all, there is still a place to support the central government's choice...

Just as they were trembling and looking forward to it, the four-wheeled carriage with the strange banner drove straight into the city, leaving only a side car behind, slowly driving towards them.

According to the customary rules, before the alliance between the two parties, the conditions need to be negotiated first, and then there is a process such as blood for the alliance.

Therefore, when negotiating with the Wuhuan people of Xianbei at this moment, they were naturally scolded by Liu Bang, and Li Shiqi was invited to the north by Liu Ying.

The old Confucian scholars are sometimes naive in their thinking, but their sharp tongue is still very useful.

He is one, Lu Jia is the other, and Sui He, who persuaded Yingbo to surrender, can be said to be the three great strategists of the Han Kingdom.

Well, there is actually another person, Kuai Che.

But not only did he fail to follow the right person, but also his ability was not enough to compare with the above three.

After all, when he persuaded Han Xin to rebel, Cao Shen was the deputy general next to Han Xin, and Guan Ying was in command of the most elite Langzhong cavalry.

These two are both Liu Bang's confidantes.

If Han Xin really listened to his words and rebelled, he might be decapitated on the spot.

In the auxiliary carriage, a drunk Li Shiqi got off the carriage without saying anything, but threw the wine bag in his hand to King Wuhuan and King Xianbei in front of him.

"Drink, if you can't finish it, you won't give me face!"

His cheeks were flushed, and Li Shiqi, who was obviously drunk again, was extremely arrogant.

King Wuhuan and King Xianbei looked at each other and were overjoyed.

Although the two of them couldn't understand what the old man on the other side was saying, the wine bag thrown by the other party was really delicious!
Moreover, since it was thrown over, it was supposed to be for them to drink!
So, ton, ton, ton... Gudong, Gudong...

Looking at the two people who fell headfirst on the ground, Li Shiqi was startled, and most of the wine sobered up.

What he drank was liquor distilled and blended by Liu Ying, with an alcohol content of at least [-] to [-] degrees.

It was normal for King Wuhuan and King Xianbei, who had been drinking no more than twelve or three times in the past, to get drunk directly.

After a brief moment of stupefaction between the two sides, the atmosphere became a little tense.

The king was poured out, and the aroma of wine overflowed from the ground.

It is tolerable, what is unbearable!
So, the leaders of the big and small tribes who followed King Xianbei and King Wuhuan walked up murderously and surrounded Li Shiqi.

If you don't pour us down, you will never leave alive today!
