Great Han Empire

Chapter 1008 Chapter [-]
Li Hong's worry was also the worry of Hussar General Xian Yufu. As early as last year, he had written to the court and the general, analyzed the situation in the desert in detail, predicted the development in the next few years, and was worried about the prospect of the desert.

It has been 16 years since the Great Han conquered the desert, and the Xianbei tribes have had 16 years to recuperate. A generation has grown up. Kirby Bear, Que Kun, Tuoba Hong, Jiamo, and Samad Khan are all outstanding young people. Just like Murong Feng and Tuoba Feng back then, their biggest dream is to dominate the desert and rule the world like their hero Tan Shihuai.

The older generation on the desert gradually passed away, She Moci, Mi Jia, and Xiong Ba died one after another, while She Yingtong, Hu Ding, Qi Shen, Tuoba Raccoon, Li Kuangfeng and others who depended on the stability of the desert were also getting old. Due to various reasons such as background and strength, these people have not been able to establish enough prestige in the desert in the past 16 years, and have not been able to replace She Moci and others to obtain the powerful strength to suppress the Xianbei tribes.

Sooner or later, the smoke on the desert will be ignited, either by Fu Luohan or by other people. The reason is very simple, Xianbei people need to survive.

In recent decades, the climate on the desert has been very harsh, and disasters such as snowstorms and droughts have followed one after another. Although the big man has tried every means to help them, this can only relieve their urgent needs, but cannot eradicate their survival crisis.

This shadow of death hangs over the hearts of the Xianbei people, making them very fearful and uneasy. They want to live and live better. They want to move south, cross the Great Wall, and get a better living environment. They hesitated in moving south. Apart from the hatred of generations, what is more important here is the safety of the country, and the safety of the country is, in the final analysis, the survival of the Han people.

The competition for land for survival is the most fundamental reason why Han and Hu conquered each other for hundreds of years.

Budugeng, Huding, Qicheng and others helped the big man attack Hexi at all costs, for what?Don't you want to move to Hexi, move to the foot of the beautiful Qilian Mountain, and seek a better place to live?

Why did Tuoba Tao, She Moci and others obey the words of the big man for more than ten years?Don't you want to gain the trust and help of the big man, so that more clansmen will gradually move to the south of Yinshan Mountain, to live in Dai County and Shanggu County?
Why did Xiong Ba, Mi Jia and others try their best to encourage Kirby to travel thousands of miles to help the Han army expedition to Hexi?Not for anything else, but to realize Murongfeng's dream one day, and let the Xianbei people cross the Dayan Mountain and migrate to a place where they can get rid of the threat of survival.

In the memorial, Xian Yufu repeatedly reminded the imperial court that in order to achieve long-term peace and stability in the western and northern Xinjiang, it is far from enough to formulate a proper appeasement policy. It is to treat the symptoms rather than the root cause, and the most fundamental solution is to solve the survival problems of the Hu tribes.Only by solving the problem of their survival and letting them completely get rid of the threat of death can the western and northern borders be stabilized, and the war between Han and Hu that lasted for hundreds of years can be stopped.

The current situation of the desert is here.

The older generation dies, the younger generation grows up, and the middle generation is fighting for survival.Today, we still have the strength to defeat the middle generation of the Hu tribes, but what about the future?In the future, these younger generations of the various tribes of the Hu tribe will have to fight for survival, and the smoke of war will ignite everywhere in the desert, but what about us?Is our next generation the same as now, and is there still a strong strength to defeat them?Are we going to go back to the old way, continue to rely on the Great Wall, mountains and rivers to defend against them, and fight against them for generations?

"The root cause of repeated rebellions among the tribes of the Hu tribe is survival." After explaining, Li Hong said helplessly, "The result of today's battle is obvious. In the future, there will only be three overlords in the desert. , he is moving the Western Xianbei tribes to the foot of the Qilian Mountains. The rich pastures and land in the four Hexi counties will provide them with a steady stream of food, so their survival is guaranteed; After the western Xianbei tribes move to Hexi, he can get more pastures, his territory will be expanded many times, and his strength will be even greater; The strength has been completely lost. Danhan Mountain will definitely be annexed because of Fu Luohan's betrayal. The Eastern Xianbei will also be difficult to survive because of Jiamo's betrayal, but many of them will return to Kirby Bear. Of the three Xianbei, only Kobe Bear is the most powerful, and he will become the king of the three Xianbei."

Li Hong's hand re-photographed the map of the case, "16 years ago, we conquered the desert and divided the Xianbei divisions into five major divisions and more than 30 small divisions, completely dispersing their strength, but 16 years later, the desert has returned to its original state, and it is still the three major parts of the East, the Middle, and the West.” Li Hong shook his head again and again, with a sad and painful smile on his face, “Feng Xue once told me that she said that the commander-in-chief Before he died, he told Kebi Xiong, Xiongba, Mijia and others that the big man would help the Xianbei people to overcome the difficulties, and that the Xianbei people would eventually take back the desert one day. His words came true, and only 16 years later , The Xianbei people have completed the reorganization of the tribe inadvertently, they will become stronger step by step, and they may regain the desert in more than ten or twenty years."

There was silence in the big tent.

"In the heart of the general, Murong Feng always exists like a god." Fu Gan sighed, "Could it be that Murong Feng is really so powerful? Didn't the general defeat him in the Great General's battle back then? He is not a god, he Words will not become reality."

"The general is right. No matter how you fight the battle in the desert, it will end like this." Jia Xu pointed to the map and said, "We have to fight now. If we don't fight, it is tantamount to admitting the decline of the big man. Xianbei people will be even more arrogant, and the consequences will be unimaginable. Let's fight, we have to accept this result, but fortunately, this result will not cause too much harm to the big man in the short term, and we still have enough time to come up with countermeasures and get rid of this result as soon as possible. Potentially great troubles resolved."

"How to solve it?" Jiang Ji frowned, "Master Xianyu said it well, whether it is the Xianbei people, the Wuwan people, the Qiang people, or the Huns, they have passed on from generation to generation, repeatedly , and we swear bloody battles to the death, to survive, to live. In this world, who doesn’t want to live without worrying about food and clothing? Who doesn’t want to live a stable and happy life? But how can we meet their most basic requirements? It’s been hundreds of years , the problem that countless ancestors have not solved, can we solve it?"

Li Hong looked up to the sky and sighed, extremely melancholy.

"If I were from Xianbei, when I grow up, I will definitely lead an army into the Great Wall." The little emperor suddenly said something surprising, which startled everyone in the tent.

Li Hong's face changed slightly, he stared at the little emperor, and shivered involuntarily.

"Since I entered the western border, besides the beautiful scenery, there are those poor barbarians." The little emperor had a look of sadness in his eyes, "They live in dilapidated tents, wear dilapidated clothes, and are black and white. It is thin, and can only eat one meal a day, and it is very unpalatable and dark. I remember that when I was in Tu Shenze, Xiu’er once helped a child catch a fish. The child was very grateful to Xiu’er and gave it to her. A piece of mutton, a very small piece, was fishy and smelly. Xiu'er didn't want it and threw it on the ground, but that child picked it up like a treasure and hid it in his arms."

"From Hexi to Jinxueyuan, I walked thousands of miles and passed hundreds of tribes. I saw too much. I think they are like bison on the grassland. The only thing they have to do all day long is to look for food. It is to eat a full stomach, then get up the next day, and then look for food. After watching too much, I only have one feeling, that they will die at any time, and they have no hope of living. In their life, except for food, they are Wait to die."

"I'm going to die anyway, so why don't you go grab it? If you don't grab it, you'll die, and if you grab it, you'll die. If you grab it, you'll be a hungry ghost." The little emperor waved his fist excitedly, "It's better to be a hungry ghost." Be a starving ghost, okay?"

Everyone stared at the little emperor dumbfounded, feeling heavy in their hearts.

"General, the barbarians are also my people, why are they so poor?" The little emperor looked at the general and asked, "When I was patrolling Hetao, I felt that those farmers who guarded the fields were already very poor. Who knows? Only when we arrived in the desert did we realize that there are still such poor people in this world. Is there no way we can help them?"

Li Hong was silent for a long time, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, I have worked hard. When the army conquered the desert, there were repeated snowstorms on the desert, and the survival of the Hu tribe was difficult. They also moved south, but the pastures in the border counties were limited and could not support them. There are so many livestock, and there is little land in other counties. Even if they are willing to give up animal husbandry and engage in farming, there is not so much land to provide. At the same time, the hatred between Han and Hu is deep, and the conflicts between the two sides are extremely frequent because of differences in customs and habits. The Hu people Unwilling to live with the Han people, they loved their homeland so much that they returned to the grassland one after another, only a small number stayed, and the Han people despised the Hu people extremely, wishing to drive them all back to the desert.”

"At that time, this kind of southward migration was an expedient measure. Later, when the disasters in the desert were less, the imperial court immediately refused the Hu people to move to the border counties, because the Hu people's southward migration not only brought contradictions in grassland, land, wealth, laws, etc. It will also bring great hidden dangers to the safety of the country, so the large-scale migration of tens of thousands of people like the Wuye tribe in the past has disappeared."

Li Hong looked at the little emperor and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, the matter of relocation is too complicated. It doesn't mean that the approval of the court and the tribal leaders is enough. It involves various issues and is too difficult. Governing the country is actually like Just like being a human being, sometimes you have good intentions but you may not be able to do good things, and sometimes you want to do good things, but it turns out to be counterproductive. In short, it is difficult, too difficult."

The little emperor was stunned for a while, and said dejectedly: "I understand a little bit. Because the matter is too difficult to solve, the barbarians on the desert thought of the simplest way. When they are not full, they will go south to plunder. We ran away, but we had nothing to do, so we built the Great Wall. Occasionally, when they were in a hurry, we rushed into the desert and hacked a large number of them to death. When their next generation grew up, this kind of thing was repeated again and again, and it lasted for hundreds of years. year."

Everyone looked at each other without speaking.

The little emperor has been in the western and northern borders for more than a year, and it is very rare to have such an understanding.

In September, Grand Sima Xu Rong sent news from Chang'an.

There was internal strife in Xiangyang, and Yuan Xi died.

Zhong Yao, the general who conquered the west, has always been eyeing Nanyang, and Yuan Xi, who is in charge of Nanyang, has become Zhong Yao's sure target.During this time, Zhong Yao and a group of his staff tried every means to secretly contact old friends in Xiangyang, trying to drive a wedge between Liu Biao and Yuan Xi.In mid-July, Liu Biao learned from many sources that Yuan Xi was in contact with Chang'an, and it was very likely that he would surrender the city.Liu Biao was shocked and found an excuse to lure Yuan Xi to Xiangyang and kill him.

Xu Qi (qiu), Yin Kui (kui), Yuan Jing, Han Xun and others were all Yuan Shao's subordinates in the past, but now they follow Yuan Xi.Kuai Liang and Wen Pin arrested them and tried to persuade them.Xu Qiu was filled with grief and indignation, and committed suicide that night.Yuan Jing fled overnight and surrendered to Zhong Yao in Yingchuan.Yin Kui and Han Xun had no choice but to join Liu Biao with their troops.

Yuan Tan was shocked to hear the news and was extremely sad and indignant.He was worried that Liu Biao, Cao Cao and others would use this as an excuse to attack and kill him, so he hurriedly sent someone to contact Sun Quan, handed over the Lujiang River, and then led his troops across the south to take refuge in the east of the river.

Sun Quan picked up a big deal and occupied Lujiang County without any effort.

Internal strife broke out in Bashu, and Yizhou Mu Liuzhang was driven to Xiangyang.

After the news of the Han army's pacification of Western Xinjiang reached Chang'an, Liu Zhang was panicked, worried that the Han army would enter Bashu, and under the persuasion of Zhizhong Wang Mou, Bie Jia Zhang Song and others, he immediately decided to submit to the Chang'an court.In May, Zhang Song secretly rushed to Chang'an, presented an indictment form to Chang'an, and presented a map of Bashu.

The news was leaked, and Zhang Yi, who was born in a Bashu family, made Zhang Yi know about it.Back then, in order to stabilize Bashu, Liu Yan killed Jia Long, Ren Qi and other Bashu forces. Bashu people swallowed their anger for this and always wanted revenge. Zhang Yi was one of them.Zhang Yi immediately reported to Zhenxi General Liu Pan.Liu Pan has been stationed in Chengdu, using the excuse of transporting grain and grass for Liu Bei to stay in Bashu.

After Liu Pan got the news, he immediately sent his cronies, one to Hanzhong, asking Liu Bei to go south to Chengdu under the pretext of seeking support, and the other to Jiangzhou in Berkshire, asking Li Yan and Mi Zhu to go north quickly under the pretext of escorting grain and grass, plotting to kill Liu Zhang .

Liu Bei was shocked when he heard the news, and led [-] elite troops out of Nanzheng, heading south along the Micang Road.

When Liu Zhang heard that Liu Bei came uninvited, he was a little flustered. He rushed to Fucheng with an army of [-], and stopped Liu Bei from entering Chengdu.The two have their own thoughts, drink every day, and are very affectionate.

A few days later, Li Yan and Mi Zhu arrived in Chengdu.Li Yan heard that Liu Bei's army was blocked in Fucheng, and immediately offered a plan to take advantage of the Bashu forces in the city who opposed Liu Zhang to take Chengdu first.Liu Zhang and the [-] army had no food and grass, and they could not last for a few days, and they would soon be defeated.

Liu Pan followed his plan and asked Zhang Yi to discuss it.Zhang Yi quickly agreed.Two days later, Zhang Yi persuaded Lu Kai, Yang Hong, Wang Chong, Ma Zhong and other Bashu civil and military officials to open the city gate and let Liu Pan and Li Yan's 3000 troops into Chengdu.Liu Panshu told Liu Zhang that I have already occupied the city of Chengdu. If you are sensible, pack up your things and go to Xiangyang as soon as possible. Otherwise, Liu Bei and I will attack back and forth and kill you for the crime of treason.

Liu Zhang was furious and led his army to turn around and attack Chengdu, but Mianzhu ordered Fei Shi to betray him and let Liu Bei in.Liu Zhang was stupid, he had no food and grass, most of the troops were Bashu people, and they didn't want to kill each other, and Liu Bei was waiting behind his back, ready to attack at any time, and he was dead.

In desperation, Liu Zhang had no choice but to accept Liu Pan's conditions, and under the escort of a group of Jingzhou soldiers, he took his family to Xiangyang.

Liu Biao got his wish and got Jingzhou, and Liu Bei was relieved, no need to worry about his back.

In August, Li Yan, Wang Chong and others led the army out of Jinniu Mountain, and Liu Bei led the army out of Yangping Pass. The two armies joined forces to attack Wudu.

Huwei General Sima Yi and Huya General Wei Yan led their troops to block the attack and asked Chang'an for help.

Grand Sima Xu Rong ordered Yan Liang and Wen Chou to lead the Fourth Battalion of the Northern Army and head south to Wudu at once to ensure the safety of the Longnan line.

Prime Minister Li Wei, in order to get rid of the heavy debts of the imperial court, invited the great powers and merchants in the Gyeonggi area to gather in Kunming Pool in July to promote his new strategy, but suffered a serious setback, and no one was willing to accept him. suggestion.

Li Wei was very angry. He ordered Zhang Liao, the school captain of Sili, to arrest Ziqian merchants (loan usurers) in Chang'an, especially the guards, and arrest them one by one.

The Wei clan immediately panicked, and the head of the family, Wei Che, hurried to the prime minister's mansion to beg Li Wei to raise his hand.

"Well, tell me, who is going to assassinate me?"

Wei Che's face turned pale with fright, "Master Prime Minister, based on the grievances we had back then, would I dare to kill you? Wouldn't that be suicide?"

"Did you hear the wind?" Li Wei smiled, "I said that on purpose, just to let you find out who is going to kill me for me. Did you find out?"

Wei Che hesitated.

"I'm warning you..." Li Wei said grimly, "You know what I want to do and who I am, so don't make me anxious, otherwise we will settle the grievances and grievances of more than ten years ago today." Clear."

Wei Che didn't dare to hide anymore, so he spoke out immediately.

"I expected it to be him." Li Wei sneered, "Since the face is torn apart, don't blame me for turning my face and denying people."
