After leaving Zhang Jiao, Su Fan also began to travel among the Liu Han Dynasty in Kyushu. He did not immediately look for Zhuge Wuhou.
Compared with the Qin Dynasty, the area of the Liu Han Dynasty has also shrunk a lot. Many places in the south and north are occupied by the barbarian Yue tribe.
During the Qin Dynasty, the barbarians from the northern grasslands and their affiliated Huns had been harassing the Qin Dynasty.
The barbarians are also an ancient race. The Xiongnu have their bloodline and are more numerous.
In the land of Nanyue in the south, there are also some Nanyue clans that do not accept the king's rule, and they are actually of half-human origin.
During the Yin and Shang Dynasties, these people had been conquered, and during the Qin Dynasty, they were suppressed and could only survive in those barren mountains and harsh waters.
However, after the Qin Dynasty dissipated, these Nanyue people began to run out.
Whether it is the barbarian Xiongnu or the South Vietnamese, they are just like the human race. Kyushu has fewer and fewer clever ideas, and the fewer their extraordinary beings.
However, these barbarians and South Vietnamese tribes all live in places with harsh environments, and their natural physical fitness is stronger than that of the humans in the Central Plains.
So the Qin Dynasty dissipated, and the Liu Han Dynasty was always harassed by the North and South Vietnam. When Liu Han founded the country, the barbarians from the North almost broke through the Great Wall of the North.
If it weren't for the Great Wall built by the Qin Dynasty and the countless monks who blessed the runes and Taoism, the Great Wall would have become extremely tough.
I am afraid that the Huns from the northern grasslands have already invaded the Central Plains.
At that time, Liu Han had just founded Liu Han, and the national power at that time was not very strong. After all, it disappeared in the Qin Dynasty. During that period, various careerists came out. Liu Han finally conquered the world, but his power was also weakened a lot.
If the barbarians in the north were not nearly killed by Meng Tian of Great Qin, and if they had not escaped quickly and fled into the wilderness of the north, the barbarians might have been wiped out.
Once the barbarians are wiped out, the various tribes on the northern grasslands will have no chance of being a match for the Central Plains without the support of this extraordinary race.
The number of barbarians is very small, but individual strength is very powerful. Adult barbarians at least have the power of golden elixir.
But fortunately, as the spiritual power of heaven and earth dissipated, the bloodline of these barbarians also declined drastically, and they were actually similar to the monsters.
As the largest tribe in the northern grassland, the Xiongnu inherited the most blood from the barbarians. Of course, there were also extraordinary people, but their number was not as high as that of the barbarians.
The barbarians are the nobles of the Xiongnu, and they offer sacrifices to such powerful people.
The population of the Xiongnu is quite large, even if it is not as good as that of the Central Plains people, but they continue to multiply, so it is not bad.
Fortunately, the Great Wall in the north prevented them from attacking the Central Plains.
And later, when Liu Han's strength reached its peak, he sent troops to the northern grasslands many times, and defeated all the tribes in the northern grasslands. They were all running around in Baotou and had to surrender to Liu Han.
However, this was only temporary and could not wipe out all the ethnic groups in the northern grasslands. The strength of the Liu Han Dynasty was weakened. At this moment, they began to invade the northern borders again.
When Su Fan came to Beidi, he was initially planning to inspect a few talents.
In today's Liu Han Dynasty, most of the real generals are actually in the North.
After all, the Central Plains has been at peace for too long. Without war, there will naturally be no generals.
Most generals can only redeem their talents by going through many wars. How can they become talents without going through wars?
As for peerless geniuses like Zhuge Wuhou, there are still very few.
In the past few years in the Northland, the officers and soldiers have been fighting against the various ethnic groups in the northern grasslands. Therefore, the officers and soldiers in the Northland are the most elite army of the Liu Han Dynasty, and the officers inside are all genuine talents.
It's not those idiots in Luoyang who rose to power by virtue of their status as aristocratic families.
Of course, we can't say that the aristocratic families are all idiots. After all, the children of the aristocratic families have been trained since childhood.
Historically, although the princes of the late Han Dynasty and the two Yuan brothers failed, can we say that they were idiots?
Even Yuan Shu, who was evaluated as a 'bone in the grave', was not really a waste.
Among the princes at the end of the Han Dynasty, after Dong Zhuo's defeat, Yuan Shu was the number one prince. Even Yuan Shao was not as good as Yuan Shu.
You can say that he relied on the Yuan family to obtain such a large foundation. There is indeed a reason for this.
But if Yuan Shu is really a waste, it is impossible to get the support of so many people in the Yuan family. You must know that there were other people in the Yuan family at that time, let alone Yuan Shao's ability.
Although Yuan Shu was the legitimate son, he really couldn't do it, and it was absolutely impossible for the Yuan family to force him out. After all, it was in troubled times at that time, and the Yuan family had already come to an end and participated in the dragon fight. Once he failed, the blow to the Yuan family could be imagined.
.
Therefore, the senior management of the Yuan family will definitely not let the waste stand out.
It can be said that Yuan Shu was very successful in the early stage, and his ability was definitely not bad.
At its peak, it occupied Yangzhou, Yuzhou, Sili and a small part of Jingzhou. Even the Sun family always relied on Yuan Shu in the early stage.
Before Sun Jian, he was also under the command of Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu once appointed Sun Jian as the governor of Nanyang.
After Sun Jian's death, Sun Ce became a military commander under Yuan Shu's account. Later, Tao Qian and Lu Bu also relied on Yuan Shu.
It can be said that in the south at that time, Yuan Shu was unrivaled.
Of course, this is exactly what happened. Yuan Shu became arrogant and regarded the world as nothing. Before he proclaimed himself emperor, he began to lose consciousness, did not work hard to increase his own power, and spent wantonly.
And even more so after becoming emperor.
In this way, he lost people's hearts, and at the same time, because he proclaimed himself emperor, Lu Bu and Sun Ce also left him.
As for the officials under his command, many are also disloyal.
After all, the Han Dynasty at that time, even in the last years of the dynasty, has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people for four hundred years. Whether it is the common people at the bottom or the officials at that time, everyone still thinks that they are officials of the Han Dynasty.
It is true that the Yuan family has disciples all over the world, but so what, he Yuan family is the fourth generation and third prince of the Han Dynasty, and people recognize him. Once he wants to replace the Han Dynasty, it will be different.
If people's hearts are against one's will, they will naturally lead to their own destruction.
Compared with this, Yuan Shao is at least better, but unfortunately he has many internal contradictions. After all, his base is too big, and his character is not decisive, and he met Cao Cao, a top figure in history.
But no matter what, these princes in the late Han Dynasty were almost all from aristocratic families.
Maybe Liu Bei and Lu Bu don't count.
Although Liu Bei's surname is Liu, he is actually worse off than those from a poor family, and it goes without saying that Lu Bu is even more miserable.
Why was it that despite occupying a large base, it was of no use, especially when it occupied Xuzhou, and was defeated so easily in the end?
Because except for the army, the Xuzhou local government did not recognize him at all.
Neither the common people nor the local gentry recognized him.
However, the power of the common people was too weak. At that time, only the powerful local nobles could rely on them, but it was a pity that Lu Bu did not. ()
