Chapter 575 Competing in the Central Plains

Chapter 575
Yanbei Grassland
When Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty was trying his best to compete for the crown prince, a Sui Dynasty caravan passed through the Yanbei Grassland, and their final destination was the Koguryo King City in the forest swamp.

The leader was a son of a general of the Sui Dynasty, and several Goguryeo envoys who led the way.

"Now that the sun is setting, let's march quickly, or we will be discovered by the Khitan people." The Goguryeo envoy spoke a not-so-fluent Central Plains dialect.

They need to pass through the Yanbei grassland and enter the forest and swamp in the northeast at night while the Khitan people are sleeping in tents.

This is a craftsman caravan from the Sui Dynasty, accompanied by dozens of craftsmen from the Sui Dynasty. The carriages are full of craftsman books and Central Plains Confucian classics.

The State of Yan had the "Nangong Wentian Plan", and the Sui Dynasty also had the "Yang Su Plan".

The censor Yang Su proposed to Yang Jian that Goguryeo should export the smelting technology of the Central Plains to Goguryeo so that Goguryeo could master more advanced smelting technology. In this way, Goguryeo could make its own iron weapons and threaten the rear of Yan.

While exporting technology to Goguryeo, it also exported the ideology of the Central Plains, and sent copies of Confucian classics to Goguryeo.

There were also two Confucian scholars in the accompanying "caravan". Emperor Yang Jian entrusted them with the task of living in Goguryeo all their lives, spreading Confucian classics to the Goguryeo people, Confucianizing the Goguryeo people, and not returning to Goguryeo without the permission of the imperial court. Central Plains.

Sugar-coated cannonballs, the output technology is sugar-coated, and the output ideology is cannonballs. King Goguryeo naturally understood the ideas of the Central Plains, so he chose to eat the sugar-coated and buried the cannonballs.

I want your craftsman skills, and I will bury your Confucian classics in the ground.

However, whether the Goguryeo people have a chance to eat the sugar coating depends on the luck of tonight.

After all, the Khitans had already formed an alliance with Yan, and Yan would never allow advanced smelting technology to enter Goguryeo.

The comprehensive blockade and economic sanctions against Goguryeo have been the national policy of Yan State for 100 years. All food, salt, weapons and equipment, and advanced technology are prohibited from entering Goguryeo.

Just as the caravan was walking cautiously through the Yanbei Grassland, a light cavalry troop raided from a distance.

"Heaven will kill me Goguryeo!"

Seeing the Khitan Qingqi who came in surprise, the Goguryeo envoy was extremely desperate.

Could it be that the advanced technology of the Central Plains really cannot enter Goguryeo?
Tatata!
In the evening, the sun shines everywhere.

More than 1000 Khitan cavalry rushed towards the Sui Kingdom caravan, their eyes were full of excitement.

As early as when the Sui State caravan set off, some rebel forces within the Sui State passed this information to the State of Yan, and then the State of Yan asked its ally Khitan to prepare.

The Khitan people were very happy to know that there were many high-level Central Plains craftsmen in the caravan. They also wanted to absorb the advanced technology of the Central Plains.

The Sui Dynasty at this moment is just like the Great Qin Empire in the past. There are too many forces secretly preparing villains inside. Just waiting for a certain opportunity will give the Sui Dynasty a big surprise.

Therefore, they often disclosed the confidential information within the Sui Dynasty to the State of Yan.

In order to deceive others, the caravan only had more than 100 entourages, and it was no match for the more than 1000 Khitan Qingqi.

"How to do?"

"What else can I do? I will definitely not be able to fight recklessly, so I can only give up the team and run away!"

"But we lost the convoy, even if we return to the capital, His Majesty will not forgive us."

"Since that's the case...then just go to Yan Country."

"That's a good idea!"

After a brief exchange, the leader of the caravan fled in the direction of Yan Kingdom with a group of followers, leaving behind the books and gifts in the caravan.

The craftsmen of the Sui Kingdom also rode horses and ran to the Yan Kingdom to seek refuge with the guards and entourages.

This is impossible, everyone knows that although Emperor Yang Jian is very talented, he is stingy and narrow-minded. They made this kind of mistake. After returning, even if they don’t die, they will have to peel off their skin, so going to Yan Kingdom is the only choice.

Only those envoys from Goguryeo cried and shouted, and roared at the fleeing Sui craftsmen: "Come back, come back, aren't you going to our royal city of Goguryeo? Why are you going to Yan again? Ahhhhh ah!!!"

He was born in the royal family of Goguryeo. Since he was a child, he has watched the army of Yan State carry out the reduction order in the forest and swamp and slaughter his brothers and sisters. Therefore, he has an unforgettable hatred for Yan State and dreams of improving Goguryeo's national strength.

"Blood feud, will never be forgotten!"

"Forgetting history is betrayal!"

Generations of Goguryeo people have engraved this kind of hatred in their hearts. They have a deep hatred for the Yan Kingdom. rejected by them.

"Although there are three households high, the dead swallows must be high!"

There are three large tribes and more than a dozen small tribes in Goguryeo, so Goguryeo can also be called "three households".

However, no matter how desperate and angry the Goguryeo envoy roared, the craftsmen accompanying Sui State still ran to Yan State without looking back.

Waiting for them was a group of Khitan nomadic cavalry with cruel smiles on their faces.

The competition of civilizations is so cruel. Compared with those nations that were completely wiped out by the Yan Kingdom in the long river of history, the chaos in the Central Plains is not so cruel.

At least, the five random China, the south has been preserved, and the Sanhan people and the Japanese people are really gone, and they have completely disappeared in the long river of history, just like ancient India, ancient Egypt, ancient Babylon, etc. Same as civilization.

Goguryeo's greatest sorrow is that it is too far away from the Central Plains and too close to Yan.

Being too far away from the Central Plains made it difficult for them to absorb the advanced civilization of the Central Plains to strengthen themselves, and being too close to the Yan State allowed them to be sucked blood by the Yan State for hundreds of years, and they were always facing the crisis of national extinction.

puff!

The Khitan cavalry beheaded the Goguryeo envoy and took away all the gifts and books in the convoy.

"It's a pity that those craftsmen escaped, leaving us with a pile of broken books."

"It's all right, don't you still have some gold and silver treasures? And among these books, not only those broken books of Confucianism, but also many books on craftsman techniques, which are still very useful."

"This is a book from the Central Plains, and I have to find someone to translate it."

"It's better to ask Yan people to translate."

"That's a good suggestion!"

In this way, after going round and round, all these books entered the country of Yan. After they were translated into the Khitan people's language by the country of Yan, the translations were handed over to the Khitan people, while the originals were kept in the country of Yan.

There are specializations in the technology industry. Although the technology of Yan State is generally more advanced than that of the Central Plains, it is inevitable that some technologies are more special and will lag behind the Central Plains. Therefore, there is nothing wrong with absorbing more research.

For Goguryeo, these technical books of Central Plains craftsmen are a timely help, but for Yan State, they are the icing on the cake.

-

We still don't know why the Japanese and Sanhan people disappeared in the long river of history. Decades ago, according to the speculation of the historians of the empire on which the sun never sets, they believed that the Japanese and Sanhan people should have encountered some kind of mysterious alien planet. The blow of power eventually led to extinction. Therefore, the empire on which the sun never sets characterized this incident as "the mysterious disappearance of the Japanese civilization".

However, in recent years, some people have questioned that it was the ancestors of the empire on which the sun never sets and slaughtered all the Japanese.

The historian of the empire on which the sun never sets said that before the ancestors of the empire on which the sun never sets entered the Japanese island, the Japanese civilization had disappeared, and the Japanese civilization was not a unified regime, but split into countless tribes to fight each other. Therefore, the Japanese They perished in cannibalism, accompanied by natural disasters such as plague, so the demise of the Japanese civilization has nothing to do with the empire on which the sun never sets.

However, what is the truth, in fact, as future generations, we have no way of knowing. ——"General History of the World Song Qin Hui"
