Great Wei Overlord

Chapter 772
Chapter 777

It is possible not to eat meat, but not to eat salt.As long as Fu Jian cut off the salt supply of any tribe, the Tubo tribes would lose all chances of survival, and there was no need to fight.

Besides, the six tribes of Tubo under Fu Jian's command have already surrendered, and these six tribes are precisely the tribes with relatively large power in Tubo. Together with the Qiang and Di tribes, Fu Jian's strength is completely stronger than that of Tubo.

Although Fu Jian's political power group is not considered strong, even Huan Wen can completely abuse Fu Jian, but relatively speaking, there are dozens of tribes, large and small, in a snowy area. At this time, Tubo had not yet formed a country, and even It is not even a loose tribal alliance. Facing a political group like Fu Jian, it is completely at a disadvantage in terms of cohesion and overall strength.

Fu Jian used Deng Qiang and Lu Guang to attack separately. Among them, the army led by Lu Guang went northward, from Kangcheng, to the Supi Kingdom.

In fact, the Supi Kingdom had almost the same political system as the Dongnv Qiang in Kangyanchuan, and it was still in the period of the matrilineal social system in primitive society.Queen Dajiawu of Supi lived in the old castle of Shengar, while the young queen Chibengsu lived in Yuna of Siperwa (now north of Lhasa).

The war is based on comprehensive national power. Fu Jian used the six tribes of Tubo as the basic force of the expedition, supplemented by Qiang and Di Qiang soldiers. Such an army did not have the problem of being unable to adapt to the climate. , Dabu and Niangbo in the east, Tibet and Zhugu in the west, and Subi in the north were brought under the rule of Fu Jian.

While Fu Jian annexed the snow area and Qinghai, Huan Wen was not idle.Huanwen managed Jingyi as his own foundation, but at this time, Yizhou in a broad sense included Sichuan, Guizhou, Yunnan, and the Hanzhong Basin in Shaanxi. However, at this time, the power of the Han people was mainly concentrated in the north of Chengdu. , as long as they go out of the Chengdu Plain, they basically belong to the active range of Liaoren, like Yunnan and Guizhou, which are still in wild areas.

In history, Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition first defeated Meng Huo.

At this time, the power of the southern barbarians was dominated by the Liao people.

There is no accurate conclusion on the origin of the Liao people. There is a view that they originated in Laos and spread to the South Central (Yunnan, Guizhou and Liangshan Prefecture of Sichuan) regions during the Qin and Han Dynasties. "

In 338 A.D., during the period of the Sixteen Kingdoms in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Li Shou, who ruled Bashu separately, proclaimed himself emperor and changed Dacheng Kingdom to Dahan Kingdom.Liaoren entered Shu from Yangke (Yungui), "the counties where they are located are full of valleys" and lived in the Linxi River Valley.Liao people "cast bronze as a big drum" ("Sui Shu"), "beat bronze drums to pray", "wear spotted cloth and beat bronze drums", "disease, beat bronze drums and Shaluo to worship ghosts and gods".

"Push the bun and step on the feet" ("Taiping Huanyu Ji"). "There is no distinction between clans, and there is no name. The male and female are only called according to the order of seniority. The husband is called Amo, Aduan. The woman is Ayi, A, etc. They are all called in order of title." "The size of the fence depends on the size of the family. Often an elder is elected as the king, and he cannot rule from afar. When the father dies, the son succeeds him. Like the Chinese nobles. ".

"Only hold a knife and a spear, but don't know how to bow and arrow, use bamboo as a reed, gather together to drum, think of syllables, can be fine cloth, and the color is so fresh and clean" ("Wei Shu. Liao Zhuan").

Huan Wen is also a capable person. The south we know now was the sphere of influence of the barbarians in ancient times.Like the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, it belongs to Shanyue or Baiyue. Shanyue mainly lived in the mountainous areas of ancient Yangzhou (now Anhui, Jiangxi, Zhejiang, and Fujian), especially in Danyang, Kuaiji, Yuzhang, Poyang and other counties.

They usually cultivate the valleys and know how to make weapons and agricultural tools from copper and iron.These Shan Yue people are in fact semi-independent.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Sun family entered Wu, and the big and small mountains became the confidant of the Sun regime.At this time, Sun Ce dealt with Shanyue with a tyrannical attitude, using the captured strong as soldiers, and the winners as the people, counting tens of thousands of soldiers.Those Shanyue people who live in the mountains are naturally not as comfortable as living in the plains.

They gradually got used to the life style of the Han people, and gradually became Han people.Without the Sun family's multi-generational management, the Eastern Jin Dynasty and Nandu might not have a foothold.Since then, this has become the most common way for rulers of later generations.

Huan Wen also adopted this method of domestication. Huan Wen also produced all the fine iron under his command, and Deng Ya conquered Qianwei County, Jiangyang County, Zhou Fu conquered Ba County, and Fuling County, and his eldest son Huanxi conquered Hanjia County.

Huan Wen personally conquered Wenshan County.

Although the Liao people are brave by nature, can endure hardships, and are better at fighting, their equipment is too poor. They mainly use bamboo bows and wooden spears, supplemented by a small amount of low-quality swords. With such equipment, there is no way to compete with the Xifu army under Huan Wen's command.

Moreover, Liao people have no nationality, and usually fight with clans, and they don't help each other, so they are easily defeated by Huan Wen one by one.At this time, the equipment of the Huanwen Xifu Army was precisely the most sophisticated in this era, with a large number of fine steel weapons, armor, and even gunpowder that were not inferior to those of the Wei State.

Every iron army army is a monster fed by victory, and Huan Wen used these poorly equipped and unparalleled brave men to train the army.

Huan Wen's decision to subdue Liaoren by force is actually because he has learned from the past.Emperor Jin and Yuan traveled south to Jiankang, led the northern gentry to compromise with the Jiangnan gentry, and divided the state of Jin.

But the Jin court quickly stabilized the south, but Huan Wen knew that Emperor Jin and Yuan had planted the root of disaster for the Eastern Jin court.

The Eastern Jin court was the product of a compromise between the northern gentry and the southern gentry. Neither the emperor nor the clan had real power.Whatever the emperor wanted to do, it was impossible to unify the opinions of the north and the south.Many people from the northern gentry who migrated to the south wanted to return to their hometown, but the southern gentry quit.

Spending my money and food to regain your hometown, fame and fortune are all taken by you, but we are thankless for our efforts.Once the homeland is regained, the imperial court will definitely return the capital to Luoyang. In this way, the center of the imperial court will move from the south to the north.

The southern gentry who are in charge of the central authority certainly don't want to be marginalized.

Since he was named the King of Shu, Yizhou has become Huanwen's own fiefdom.In his own fiefdom, Huan Wen didn't want to be like the Eastern Jin emperor, just a puppet between foreign forces and local forces.Since Li Te established the Han state in Yizhou at the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, in order to maintain the rule, the Li family took two-handed preparations. They not only wooed the Bashu Han tyrants and gentry, like Fan Changsheng in Qingcheng, Yan Shi in Chengdu, and Yang Bao in Huayang. Allegiance to Cheng Han.

Fan Changsheng is resourceful, Yan Shi is good at admonishing directly and Yang Bao has both ability and political integrity.At the beginning of Chenghan's establishment, in fact, Fan Changsheng, Yan Shi, and Yang Bao were the troika and managed the country of Chenghan.

Of course, after the three major families of Cheng and Han, there are also a large number of tyrants with vested interests. In addition to the Han tyrants who support the Li family of the Di clan, of course there are also many Liao people.

The Liao people (ethnic minorities) Wang Chong, Fuling Zhu Tilei, and Jianning Cuanqin of Hanjia (place name) surrendered to Cheng Han, and they were all valued by Li Xiong.

At this time, although Cheng Han died, the power of Liaoren not only did not weaken, but continued to expand.

Of course, it is also related to the political strategy of the Jin Dynasty authorities. The political strategy of the Jin Dynasty is to avoid the intensification of conflicts. In order to prevent the barbarians from causing trouble, they imposed cruel laws on the Han people, while the Liao people who belonged to the Hu people applied lenient laws.Han people need to pay heavy taxes, but Liao people don't need to pay or pay less taxes. In this way, the Han people in Shu can't bear the tax too much.

All the elders of these Han clans gathered together, come on, let’s not be Han people anymore, we just put away the ancestors’ spiritual tablets, disheveled our hair, painted our faces with paint, and poured directly into the mountains. self-sufficiency.

Regardless of whether it is real or fake, in any case, except for the large and small cities in Yizhou, the Han people have no place to stand.These wild people are fierce and brave by nature, trekking through mountains and rivers like walking on flat ground, and crossing forests and ravines like fierce tigers.In addition to the powerful tyrants and gentry, only the few Liao people are the most powerful.

In addition to the power of the Liaoren, the gentry is powerful, but the gentry and powerful are all local forces that are more deeply rooted. They have been operating in Yizhou for several or ten generations, and their power has already penetrated into various fields.If you move the gentry to be strong and strong, you will affect the whole body by pulling one hair.

Huan Wen dared not move the local tyrants and gentry, nor did he have the strength.If you move the Yizhou gentry, you will not only ruin the love you have formed before, but you will also be in a place where there will be no redemption.

After much deliberation, Huan Wen still decided to mobilize the power of other people.There is no other way if you don't move, if you don't move the power of the hunters, what will Huan Wen use to buy people's hearts?What if all the generals in the West Mansion were entrusted?
Huan Wen didn't have Ran Ming's ability to turn stones into gold, so he could easily pick a persimmon, as long as he chose the Liaoren tribe.

Huan Wen began to take drastic measures to govern Yizhou.Ancient warfare is famous for its mastery, so Huan Wen asked Qie Chao to write an essay.This call to arms is not gorgeous, but it is domineering.

"The King of Shu, Taiwei, and General Huan Wen of Anxi in the Great Jin Dynasty told the fathers and elders of Yizhou and the generals of the feudal vassals: The sun and the moon shine, and the rivers and rivers all belong to my Chinese ministers and concubines. This is not the hegemony of the Han family, but the common sense of the ages. Since the Rebellion of the Eight Kings, Huaxia has been disintegrated, all kinds of chaos have destroyed our ancestral temples, and the southern barbarians have not paid tribute. This has made my descendants ashamed of my ancestors and Jiuquan. To the Shile of the Xiongnu Liu Yuanjie , Xianbei Murong Jun, Di Clan Li Xiong, and Fu Jianzahu usurped China's thousands of miles of land and mountains. Right now. Although Wen is not talented, he also has the ambition to defend Huo, expel the barbarians, and help China. The Northern Expedition and the restoration of the land are inevitable. There is a saying that one must first settle the interior when fighting against the outside world. Those who disobey should be punished. If a house is not swept away, how can the world be leveled? Wen is in the present, first pacify the Liao, purge Yizhou, and then the Northern Expedition. All descendants of the Han family who have a trace of blood should respond to the Northern Expedition, and those who are unable to respond You should also pray for our army, if there are stubborn people who dare to prevent me from cleaning up the country's filth, they are national thieves, and the national thieves are in power, Wen will punish them."

This proclamation was circulated to various places, and then Huanwen and the three armies came out together to conquer the Liao.However, when Ran Min saw this letter, it was more than a month later, and by this time Huan Wen's vanguard troops had already joined Xie Liao.

When Ran Min took this proclamation, his hands trembled slightly, and he sighed: "Unexpectedly, Huan Wen is also a hero. I passed on my decree, and my Great Wei will stop fighting along the border between the two states of Jing and Yi, and not cross the border for half a day." step."

Ran Min was not the first person to see the proclamation, and certainly not the last.This matter, when it came to the Eastern Jin Dynasty, immediately caused an uproar.Especially in the eight counties of Xuyang in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, even women and children knew about it. As for scholars, everyone must talk about it.

The scholars in the Jin Dynasty were not bloodless, on the contrary they were very bloody, but they encountered a bloodless court.In particular, the sentence in the Huanwen Xiwen that the sun and the moon shine, and the rivers and rivers all belong to my Chinese ministers and concubines. This is not the overbearing of the Han family, but the common sense of the ages.This sentence has been on everyone's lips.As for Huan Wen's sentence, although Wen is not talented, he also defends Huo Zhizhi.Who is Wei Huo, not to mention the eternal heroes Wei Qing and Huo Qubing.

In the eyes of the common people and the gentry, this call-to-action is particularly uplifting, but in the eyes of the young Sima Dan, it is simply extremely embarrassing.Especially the sentence about the Rebellion of the Eight Kings is simply a slap in the face.Sima Dan yelled, "Zhu Zi, Shu Zi!"

It's not Sima Dan's fault, it's just that the teachers who teach Sima Dan are great Confucian scholars and everyone, they are very knowledgeable, and they don't speak dirty words, so Sima Dan who grew up in this environment can't swear like a shrew.The words that come out of the mouth backwards and forwards are like Li Zi, common husband and so on.

The furious Sima Dan not only roared, but even smashed all the precious furnishings in the palace.His favorite three-foot-tall coral that Champa had paid tribute to was now broken into dozens of fragments, and even a horizontal knife made of refined steel that Ran Ming gave him was chopped on the stone pillar. Sparks radiate.

Sima Dan tore up the call to arms and threw them all over the place. He pointed in the direction of Chengdu and said angrily, "This old man Huan Wen is so arrogant. If I don't destroy him, he is not worthy to be the descendant of Emperor Wu!"

At this moment, the surrounding eunuchs and palace maids all left quietly, and the surroundings fell silent.Empress Lu came in with a big belly and said, "Your Majesty's urgency is not small. The concubine came at an untimely time. It seems that the concubine will wait for your majesty's anger to subside before coming back!"
