"Mr. Yan, aren't there rumors that you have returned to Xiliang? Why are you here?"
Well, our Quyi children's shoes were once again shocked by the various guys who were mixed with Li Shushi. Although he had just lost to Gao Shun in the battle and then was defeated by Guan Yu and Xu Huang twice in a row, this originally very proud man
of
The man from Xiliang was depressed, but when he saw Yan Zhong appearing in front of him and looking at him with a smile, he still felt that his chin had been hit hard again. As for Zhang He, he had already fallen into M's tide.
Hit, probably.
"I said Fengxian, what's going on with Jun Yi? If you find Zhang Xiu, you can say that he is an opponent and will meet a good talent. Then he goes to Zhao Yun to 'cry', but it's really... Could it be said that he has
Are you masochistic?"
Li Shushi, who had just accompanied Qu Yi to visit the military camp in Xihe and allowed Gao Shun and others to have a "warm and friendly" exchange with Qu Yi, heard that Zhang He secretly and Zhang Xiu took Zhao Yun and slipped away to who knows where.
According to the news, the guy who came to deliver the message said that he was going to Tai Shici, the chief officer of the Logistics Department, to apply for some recovery beans. The reason was that it was better not to tell someone for the sake of his face.
"Probably because they saw the two brothers changing their usual weapons, so they thought they could take advantage."
Qu Yi was very self-aware and knew that if the opponent in the mock battle was the troops led by Lu Bu, then half of his soldiers would probably be wiped out by Lu Bu's weapons. As for the bow and arrow or the Fangtian painted halberd, it would matter.
I don't know, but the other half will basically be frightened by Lu Bu's aura and performance, and they won't have much fighting power left.
But what he never expected was that there were so many hidden dragons and crouching tigers in Li Shushi's place. Just picking a few out would make him gasp for a long time. Of course, would Li Shushi tell him about the welfare benefits that time travelers are best at...
So in the end, although Li Shu used Yan Zhong as his finishing move, the effect was not as decisive as imagined. It was like facing a super BOSS and using various combos to make a 100 and a 500 for half an hour.
Full of expectation
You can accumulate a super rage skill with an attack power of over 10,000 to end the battle. Unfortunately, the actual result is only 21 points. The BOSS "oows" and turns into dots of starlight like Tidus. So what expression should you use?
To face it?
【At this time, all you need to do is smile.】
What I have to admit is that no matter how reluctant I am, the influence of the Sky Eagle Warriors is as long-lasting as the high-pitched sister Ju Ping.
"If the rumors are true, then the old man may have become a dried corpse on the road."
The Qu family in Jincheng is also a famous family in Liangzhou. Although he has been an official for many years, Yan Zhong, the elite of the Qu family, is quite aware of the name Qu Yi. At the same time, he is also very aware of the dark history of the Qu family, so
As for why Qu Yi ran to Li Shu
In fact, it is quite curious to be an official here. After all, the men of the Qu family are very high-spirited. Although Li Shushi's strength here is not weak, his name can be counted as Wuming, Xihe's
The environment is not much better than Jincheng.
"I actually came here at the invitation of a friend. Although it is a bit remote and desolate compared to the hinterland of the Central Plains, compared to Jincheng far away from the Central Plains, it is much better here in Hedong to the south. And because of you, I
I really don’t want to stay next to General Huangfu who is in danger of being implicated for a trivial matter at any time.”
As if seeing Yan Zhong's doubts, Qu Yi spoke out his thoughts without hesitation. Perhaps it was because Li Shushi took Yan Zhong in, or maybe the people of Xiliang were very generous, so Qu Yi spoke.
At that time, there was no intention of avoiding Li Shushi.
Of course, Qu Yi didn't make it too clear. After all, Li Shu was not from Liangzhou. Qu Yi didn't think that this young man from Youzhou, where Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, had risen again, could understand some of the unique emotions of Xiliang people.
.
But what Qu Yi didn't know was that Li Shushi knew a lot about his little thoughts, or the complicated relationship between Liangzhou and the Eastern Han Dynasty. After all, it was the fortune of Dong Zhuo, who single-handedly overturned the final order of the Han Dynasty.
What a place.
From the beginning to the end, there have been two major factions in Liangzhou. One is the obedient faction who is willing to obey the Han Dynasty, and the other is the independent faction who has the intention of separatism and is not too interested in the Han Dynasty. As for Jia Xu, there are more
He appears as the mastermind, so he basically doesn't consider his personal political stance, so you basically can't tell his inclination. The old fox is very good at hiding it.
In fact, there are both obedient and independent factions in every state and county. However, the number of independent factions in Liangzhou is actually the largest among the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty. Other states and counties mostly just want to obtain autonomy rights, and Liangzhou’s independent factions are actually the largest among the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty.
What the independent faction wants is almost the same as what the Green Party across the Taiwan Strait wants. And the most important thing is that the Han Dynasty is still hesitant about this.
Liangzhou is located in the northwest of the Han Dynasty, and its jurisdiction includes most of Gansu, eastern Qinghai, southern Ningxia, Shaanxi, Xinjiang and a small part of Inner Mongolia. The territory is quite large, but the total of these territories basically does not include a few good places.
Perhaps the only one that can compare with it is Bingzhou, a state with mountains. Unfortunately, Bingzhou also has the Taiyuan Basin in the Fen Valley, which is located in the Taiyuan area, the Xinding Basin slightly to the north, and the Datong Basin owned by Yanmen County, all of which have the same characteristics.
It's the river
Alluvial plains caused by rivers. Moreover, Bingzhou in the Eastern Han Dynasty also had the Hetao Plain, known as the Pearl of the Grassland. Although it was used to resettle the naturalized Huns, it still nominally belonged to the Han Dynasty. But what about Liangzhou? Oasis are all
The pearl in the Gobi is also a place that both Han and Hu people are rushing to grab. What’s left? Can other ethnic groups survive? Li Shushi said that he didn’t know. Anyway, he believed that the Han people’s way of life would never survive there.
There are a lot of various ethnic minorities there. Regardless of the general direction, there are two main types: Qiang and Di. However, in fact, the tribes in various places basically do not belong to each other. Again, the relationship is as complicated as that of the island country across the sea.
The era known as the Warring States Period.
It would be fine if they were just Hu people. Because of the Han people's policy of inward migration of the Qiang people, the Qiang and Han people have been mixed for generations. Eventually, many local Han powerful people actually have the blood of the Hu people mixed in their veins. This also makes the Central Plains
The gentry in the region looked down upon the Xiliang gentry, just as the Six Kingdoms of Guandong looked at Qin no less.
But the problem is that there are bound to be unruly people in poor mountains and rivers. Coupled with the political incompetence of local officials and their excessive plundering, the people cannot survive, so various rebellions can be said to come one after another. As a result, the court can only get a place that can be called useless every year despite countless empty claims of money and food.
, so many ministers from the Central Plains gentry proposed to abandon Liangzhou and retreat to the sacred land of Sanfu.
This idea was collectively opposed by the Liangzhou gentry group, but the central government's mentality towards Liangzhou can be imagined. This also affected the thinking of Liangzhou's powerful people, and a feeling of outcast gradually spread and eventually became the mainstream.
At the same time, the rift between the Liangzhou gentry and the Central Plains gentry grew wider and wider, eventually evolving into a collective betrayal by the Guandong gentry after Dong Zhuo came to power.
Qu Yi is not as ambitious as Dong Zhuo. His desire is more to separate one party like the powerful Liangzhou. However, the only difference between him and his contemporaries is that he does not want to dominate the backwaters of Xiliang. He has heard that
The Central Plains was rich, and because he was born into an orthodox Central Plains noble family, he had a strong desire to go out.
However, after a year of fighting with Huangfu Song, he clearly realized that the cake in the Central Plains had long been eaten up and firmly controlled by the local powerful. Although he was attacked by the Yellow Turban Army, it was filled up extremely quickly. He himself
He thought that looking at the help of the Ju family survivors in Pingyuan County could reverse his unfavorable situation, but in the end he was still regarded by the locals as a barbarian from Xiliang, and the fact that his immediate supporter Huangfu Song had missed it was so rare in his opinion.
opportunity.
Feeling quite disappointed, he decided to go north after hearing Zhang He's introduction to Li Shushi. Because, as he said, although Xihe seemed remote, it was very close to the Sili area, the center of the Han Dynasty's notice.
The straight-line distance between Hedong County is only three hundred miles, but it only needs to cross the remaining veins of the Luliang Mountains in the middle, which is painful.
In this way, Qu Yi came to Xihe, hoping to use this springboard to follow Li Shushi to realize his dream.
It's just that the reality is so cruel. Because Qu Yi didn't believe Zhang He's words, he misestimated the abilities of Li Shushi and his men. As a result, by the time he realized this, he could no longer look back. After all, he had already seen "trying to incite"
country
Jiazhushi was the "imperial prisoner" who conspired to rebel, and Li Shushi, who harbored the "imperial prisoner", must also have "malicious intentions", right? So Qu Yi believed that once he made any betrayal, Lu Bu's heart-piercing arrow would definitely make him
Go directly to Xuanwu to receive the lunch box.
Li Shushi, who originally wanted Qu Yi, who was born in Liangzhou, to meet the famous Yan Zhong in Liangzhou so that he could have a deeper understanding of his own strength, unintentionally forced Qu Yi to stay under his command.
But neither Yan Zhong nor Qu Yi really meant it. Maybe it should be said that Li Shushi is indeed naturally black?
"If the lord asks me what I think of the Jie people, I will tell the lord that your worries are not unreasonable. It's just that the lord only saw the murderous side of the Jie people, but did not see the things behind this bloodthirsty.
"
In fact, Li Shushi brought Jia Xu to see Yan Zhong mainly because he wanted to consult on the policy towards the Jie people. Although he had no psychological burden at all about genocide or anything like that, after all, this kind of thinking originated from the steel forest era and nationalist ideas were deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
era. Although the scholar-officials of this era also sang the argument that "those who are not from our race must have different hearts," the idea of uniformity in the world and naturalizing foreign races is also a mainstream idea, and there are many successful examples.
"Actually, bloodthirsty is the same regardless of any nation. Take the Yellow Turban Rebellion that my lord has just experienced. Maybe lord, you are compassionate and don't want to kill more people of your own nation, but what about Zhu Gongwei and Huangfu Yizhen?
?For the sake of political attitude or the future of the Han Dynasty, or just to ensure the supply of military rations, they can either trap or kill hundreds of thousands of people.
, and even Fu Nanrong never gave any advice on this point. Not to mention that the famous former dynasty generals Bai Qi and Xiang Yu were thugs who killed hundreds of thousands of enemies without blinking an eye. What's more, the Hu people just plundered because they were not producing.
It is the only and best way for them to survive. They follow this way so that they can survive in the harsh environment of the grassland for thousands of years without falling."
Yan Zhong was indeed a scholar living in Xiliang, and he had unique views on Han and Hu people that were different from those of the Central Plains scholars.
"So for my lord, killing people to establish authority is a must when dealing with barbarians. This is understandable. However, it is not necessarily advisable to use the method of genocide, because it will sow the seeds of hatred. After all, lord, you can't kill a person at all."
A huge ethnic group has been completely wiped out, not to mention that the relationship on the grassland is still so complicated."
"Then what should I do?" Li Shushi humbly asked for advice.
"In my opinion, instead of increasing hatred indiscriminately, it is better to work on two points. The first is to let them learn the classics of our Han Dynasty, so that after a few generations they will forget their roots and only know that they are the people of my Han Dynasty;
That is the most important point, we need to continue to be strong. As long as our army does not have civil strife or decline, then they will not dare to offend our army's power. The third point is to choke their throats. They are beasts,
Can be tamed to be like us
The way to tame a beast lies in one degree, that is, we must not feed it too much for it to carry around, but we must not feed it too little for it to spy on us. Similarly, in order to allow this beast to exert its power, we must both retain its
Minions, let them have enough power, but don't let their minions be too sharp to hurt us. Among them, the Lord of Sanwei can realize it by himself in the process of completing the handover in the future. No matter how much I talk about this kind of thing, it is better than the Lord can experience it for himself.
It’s so profound.”
"Then, for the sake of the peace of the people on the border, let Xue Kian try. But I also ask for your guidance in the future."
"Zhong, I hope my lord you will grow up quickly. The lives of the people on the border are really too hard."
I don’t know why, but the Jie people who are hundreds of miles away feel that this winter is particularly cold.
