Entering the hinterland of Suining, a small camp appeared in front of everyone.
A black dragon flag flutters on the archery tower of the camp.
At the entrance of the village, there were soldiers on guard, checking the passers-by.
The symbol of Lou Fan's army, the battle flag with the image of a Chinese soldier on horseback and a bow, immediately came into view.
"This is the headquarters of Lou Fan's army in Munan..." Xian Xuan introduced to Wang Xun and others.
After the emperor ordered the offensive against Mu Nan, the Zhongyong Army and the Loufan Army moved north.
Among them, the Zhongyong Army was responsible for the cleanup work from south to north, that is, from Shunde to Punushui and Junji Mountain, and the Loufan Army was responsible for the cleanup work from Nanchi to Yanchi.
The eastern area is the battle zone of Chen Xu's Anton soldiers.
The Flying Fox Army and the Juzhu Army, as reserve mobile troops, move on the grasslands in search of enemies.
Flying fox army leaders like Xianxuan would often lead their troops far away from their strongholds and patrol the grasslands for a month or more.
Look for enemies, discover enemies, and monitor the grassland.
Once you find a large group of enemy cavalry or a large nomadic tribe, immediately summon nearby friendly forces to annihilate them.
As for the small groups of enemy cavalry, deal with them yourself.
Under this model, the living space of the Weiwei people, Changlin people, and other non-Chen tribes was compressed into a few small areas north of Yanchi, west of Punu River, and south of Gonglu River.
Chen Xu's cavalry in the far east opened a large net and began sweeping from east to south.
In just three months since the Han army launched its offensive, the population of Hu people under the control of the Han Dynasty has reached close to 200,000, or almost one million people.
More than ten gathering places like Suining have formed in Munan.
Therefore, the overall situation in Makunan has basically been decided.
Only those die-hards are still making small moves in the corners of the world.
But it doesn't matter. In Munan, the rule of the Han Dynasty becomes more stable every day.
Just like the Hu people in Suining.
When they were escorted here by the Han army and forced by swords, they gave up their nomadic traditions and settled down.
Nine and a half of the ten barbarians had hatred in their eyes and dissatisfaction on their faces.
Escapes, rebellions and other incidents occurred one after another.
However, when the Han army severely suppressed all resisters and spread the advanced technology from China.
The hatred of the Hu people gradually dissipated and was replaced by fear, then worship, and finally gratitude.
This is what Xian Xuan witnessed with his own eyes.
At first, the Hu people from Suining looked at him with hatred in their eyes.
Then comes fear and fear.
Then came worship. Now, when the Hu people in Suining see the Han cavalry wearing red shirts and riding horses, they will give out loud cheers.
The children of the Hu people always looked at the Han soldiers with admiration and admiration.
Those unarmored veterans of the Zhongyong Army and the Loufan Army were respected by the entire Suining Hu people.
People even gave these veterans the names they used to call the Huns.
Everyone thought that they were "Tu She", sages among the barbarians, and prophets.
Wang Xun and others were full of excitement.
Servant Yang was even eager to look at this simple carriage.
Naturally, they did not come here blindly.
In fact, they are related households.
Just like the great sages of the Za family, they chose Pyongyang as their base because Han Anguo, the auxiliary minister of the Joseon king at that time and the North Korean lieutenant in charge of the Andong Protectorate in the north, was a member of the Za family.
Lou Fanjun was the backer of Xunzi's school of thought.
They were invited by Guan Yuan, the eldest son of Guan He, the then general of Loufan and Yingyinhou, to come here to develop their business.
Under the guidance of Xian Xuan, the four people entered the camp.
Immediately, a Han army captain came out to verify their identities.
After a period of surveying the official documents, checking the identity bamboo talismans, and then looking at the appearance of the four people, and confirming that their appearance was consistent with the bamboo talismans and the official document records, the captain held up his hands and said with a smile: "You guys have worked hard all the way... Young Master
I have already prepared a reception banquet for you all in the west room..."
As he said that, he led four people to a simple barracks made of bricks and wood.
Here, the four of them met Guan Yuan, who invited them to come here.
This was also the first time they met this supporter of the Xunzi school of thought who now had the highest status among the top officials of the Han Dynasty.
Guan Yuan looked very elegant. He wore a piece of Han army's standard armor, a sword tied to his waist, and he sat with a long body, looking like a standard gentleman.
This is also the standard style of the elite among the disciples of today's aristocrats and bureaucrats.
"You guys have come all the way, how are you doing?" As soon as they met, Guan Yuan immediately stood up to greet him and bowed to him.
"Thank you for your concern, senior brother, everything went well when we arrived..." Wang Xun and others bowed back.
Pu Yang also took out a few pamphlets from his arms, handed them to Guan Yuan, and said, "These are the notes that the teacher asked us to bring for our senior brother..."
Guan Yuan took it solemnly, held it in her hand and stroked it lovingly, and asked affectionately: "Is the teacher okay?"
"Teacher, everything is going well in Handan. On the day of bidding farewell to us, the teacher even composed a song for us himself..." Yang Pu said with a smile.
"That's good..." Guan Yuan nodded and invited the four people to the guest table. He also ordered his servants to bring food and drinks, which were all food from the grassland, mutton, cheese and kumiss.
"Junior brothers, please rest today. Tomorrow, I will take you to visit the surrounding areas of Suining and meet with tourists from various villages..." Guan Yuan raised his glass.
"Everything is done according to the orders of senior brother..." The four of them bowed quickly.
…………………………………………
The next day, at dawn, Yang Pu and others had already gotten up and finished washing.
Guan Yuan got up earlier, and when the four of them just got up, he had already been patrolling outside.
This is also the characteristic of the disciples of Xunzi's school.
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. They claim to be the descendants of Xunzi and will use their time very carefully every day.
As a pragmatic school, Xunzi's school has encountered a bottleneck in its development in the past two or three years.
Mainly due to the fierce suppression from Gu Liang and the Han Shi School, they had no choice but to turn their development direction to poor scholars and win the support of the small and medium-sized landowner disciples.
But in this field, Legalism is the real overlord.
The divisions among Han Dynasty scholars today have long been clear.
At the level of big landowners and big aristocrats, Confucianism and the Huang-Lao sect have already separated.
Among the small and medium-sized landlord class, the influence of Legalism is unparalleled.
The Mohist family is limited to Moyuan and Moshe, and has not yet left Hangu (Xinguan).
The Zajia family was limited to the area between Andong and Liaodong and western Liaoning. Moving forward, they encountered strong resistance from the Han Shi School and the Guliang School.
Between Qi and Chu, there is the world of Gongyang and the Chu School of Poetry.
In the Yanzhao area, the heroes fought in a melee and fought fiercely.
Xunzi's school is now located in the Yanzhao area where the war is fiercest.
Their situation is already very difficult.
There is no way, Xunzi's school of thought and the theory it adheres to are difficult to please both the upper class and the middle and lower classes.
What's even more troublesome is that the Xunzi school advocates "controlling the destiny of heaven and using it", which makes it impossible for them to even get a level playing field.
With the support of Lord Guiping and Lord Fengren, they gave large sums of money to the Xunzi School every year, and also made great efforts for the spread of the Xunzi School in the Southwest and Bashu areas. I am afraid that at this time, the Xunzi School will be suppressed by all forces.
We can only lie dormant and wait for the future.
Otherwise, Xunzi's school would not have thought of pioneering in this area.
Wang Xun and others are here to open the way, once Mu Nan is proven to have great potential.
The elites and giants of Xunzi's school will come one after another.
Wang Xun and others were well aware of their responsibilities, so when they saw Guan Yuan, they immediately stepped forward to greet him and said, "Brother, please introduce us to places to visit in Suining..."
On the way here, they already knew the current situation in Munan.
In the gathering areas controlled by the Han, the patrols and village chiefs composed of veterans of the Zhongyong Army and the Loufan Army were the key to mastering specific government affairs.
If you want to make a difference here, you must win the support of these people.
Wang Xun had heard that some Confucian scholars from Lu and Confucianism were isolated and accomplished nothing because they did not have the support of these veterans.
After hearing this, Guan Yuan smiled and said: "I have just gone to talk to you all, and generally speaking, you all welcome me, Xunzi's disciple, to come here and impart the teachings of the saint..."
"But... there is one thing that all junior brothers must keep in mind..."
"These wanderers are all devout believers of the 'guilt theory' and the 'redemption sect'. You must not offend them on this matter..."
For today's Zhongyong Army soldiers, it is a truth they firmly believe that Zhu Hu is guilty.
Based on the argument that all men are guilty, the theory of redemption has formed an unbreakable system.
In their understanding, they are the "Zhu Xia" who have been redeemed and sublimated, while other Hu people are still burdened with sins and need to repent and be cleansed.
Anyone who questions this is working against the more than 24,000 loyal and brave soldiers.
Whoever is against the tens of thousands of soldiers in Lou Fan's army who firmly believe in this knowledge.
On this grassland, there are almost no people who want to live after offending the Zhongyong Army!
These former Huns, Yuezhi people, Zhelan people, Aries people and Xiutu people will definitely use the most cruel punishments and the most terrifying instruments of torture to make you die slowly amidst wailing and crying.
When everyone heard this, they all nodded and said, "Thank you, senior brother, for your teaching. We will keep it in mind!"
Guan Yuan nodded and said, "Then please come with me..."
…………………………………………
Guan Yuan then took four people on a tour of Suining. While walking, he had conversations with tourists from various towns.
This walk lasted a whole day, and it was not until dusk that the five people returned to the camp.
Along the way, the five of us felt very excited.
Because, almost all the tour leaders and most of the village chiefs said: The Chinese gentlemen are entrusted by the Heavenly Chanyu to come here to educate the barbarians, enlighten the ignorant, and spread the way of the sage king. We all fully support it.
In short, after the initial contact, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.
More importantly, Wang Xun and others discovered that the concepts held by these wanderers seemed to coincide with the thoughts of Xunzi's school of thought.
For example, Xunzi's school advocates "clearly distinguishing groups", and its core statement is "making the world all based on governance."
To put it simply, Xunzi advocates that everyone is like a dragon and that everyone can become a saint through education and learning.
This is almost consistent with the theory held by the wanderers that "everyone is guilty" and needs self-redemption, transformation, and sublimation.
The "human nature is inherently evil" advocated by Xunzi's school is naturally consistent with "everyone is guilty".
After simply contacting and understanding everyone's opinions, the tourists all said that you came too late! It would be better to come earlier!
Some people have even decided to learn Xunzi’s ideas from today on.
The only problem is...
"Should we change the discussion?" Everyone fell into deep thought.
Obviously, Xunzi's discussion and propositions, although vaguely consistent with the concept of the loyal and brave army.
but……
After all, the two are completely unrelated and have huge differences.
If Xunzi's school wants to develop smoothly here and get the full support of the loyal and brave army of local snakes, it will need to make some adjustments.
But……
How to change? How to change?
Everyone was a little hesitant.
The five people gathered around the barracks and started discussing.
"What is true here? Let's write to the teacher first and ask for his opinion?" Wang Xun said.
"Okay..." Guan Yuan nodded and agreed: "But before that, all junior brothers can try to promote our thoughts and doctrines here to see if they can attract people..."
All four of them nodded, agreeing with Guan Yuan's suggestion.
"In three days, I will lead the troops to the north to monitor the area around Xingxingyuan..." Guan Yuan said: "It can take as little as half a month or as many as three months. You are waiting here, so please strengthen yourself..."
In fact, Guan Yuan is here to wait for the arrival of his junior brothers. Otherwise, he should have led his army and set off long ago.
Although the land south of the curtain is generally settled, the defeated soldiers of Weiwei and Changlin and a few other die-hards are still wandering on the grassland, posing a certain threat to the merchant travel and gathering points of the Han army.
The cavalry of the Northern Huns also quietly crossed the vast sea to join these remnants in order to cause some trouble to the Han army.
Their purpose was not to cause trouble for the Han army.
They just wanted to delay the Han army's westward advance.
All departments of the Han army welcomed this.
Who wouldn’t like someone who gives away his life and merits?
"No!" Wang Xun and others paused one after another.
"In addition, you may need to pay attention to Anhua, which is three hundred miles south of Suining..." Guan Yuan suddenly said: "As far as I know, Xu Meng, the captain of Loufan in Anhua, is Gu
A disciple of the Liang sect, there are likely to be Gu and Liang scholars under his rule..."
"Guliang?" Wang Xun and others grinned when they heard this mortal enemy: "A disciple of Dishan?"
The Xunzi school was not afraid of the Guliang School.
In fact, if they really had to fight one on one, each of Xunzi's disciples could hit three valley beams!
Whether it's a civil or military fight...
And in fact, the Guliang sect is another loser in the competition among hundreds of schools of thought in China today.
They were almost completely expelled from the land of Qichu by the Gongyang faction.
What's more important is that the Guliang sect has a huge black spot called Dishan!
The Dishan case severely damaged Gu Liang's vitality. In the end, although the cut was made in time, the loss was stopped.
However, the Guliang School is almost associated with thieves in the eyes of the world.
In China, Xunzi's disciples can still defeat the scumbags in Guliang, but outside the Great Wall, Wang Xun and others are not afraid of each other!
