Although in most cases, the opinions of ordinary people cannot determine or change anything, it is often the undercurrent flowing in the hearts of the people in both the government and the public that ultimately creates opportunities for many people. The rise of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang made Liu Bang, Xiang Yu, and Zhang Jiasan
The brothers' Yellow Turban Uprising gave the three heroes Cao, Sun and Liu an opportunity to display their talents...
Undoubtedly, the demise of Nanchen was not only because of Li Xinchen's ability to turn things around, but also because Chen Xu in his later years had already lost people's hearts, and Chen Shubao decisively "ceded the country". It seemed that Li Xinchen would not return to the world.
It doesn't make sense.
Looking at the grand scene in front of him, Lechang didn't even know whether he should feel sorry for his father and brother, or whether he should feel lucky for his husband.
Similarly, outside Xiangyang City, Xiao Shilian swung his hammer and smashed the spring ox. The people and soldiers burst into cheers. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and subconsciously turned his head to look north. He didn't know when
I can command my troops to the north. In Chang'an, Luoyang, and Yecheng, I can hear such cheers.
But if you think about it, it should be pretty fast.
Under the city of Chengdu, the huge Spring Ox collapsed. Du Qi, who was in charge of this matter, also breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at the familiar faces swarming up, many of the people in Bashu were already from Ba who had gone down the mountain.
There are also southern tribes that migrated north. Although Du Qi can't recognize them by name, they are basically familiar to them.
The Ba people have integrated into China and there is no distinction between them.
Not to mention that the Ba people had played an irreplaceable role in the previous wars. Even in the Battle of the Northwest, it was precisely because of the presence and help of the Ba people that the Han Dynasty was able to defeat the enemy so quickly.
After transporting so much food to the northwest through rugged mountain roads, even the Ba people who were reservists were ready to go and support the battle in the northwest.
For this new identity - the people of the Han Dynasty - they already have a sufficient sense of belonging. I am afraid that even if a leader jumps out to resist the Han Dynasty at this time, no one will follow him.
Du Qi was pleased with this. The Ba people were not born to like making revolutions. When the Qin people went south, they surrendered to the Qin people. When the Han people came again, they surrendered to the Han people again. For them, as long as they can have enough food and clothing, they can
Once a piece of land is established, it actually makes no difference who rules them. Even the Ba people have made great contributions to the Han's southern and eastern expeditions time and time again. After all, no one is more familiar with the mountains and jungles than them.
They are not afraid of integration, nor are they worried about integration, because the entire birth and migration process of the Ba people is a process of constant communication and integration. Otherwise, there would not be eight tribes of Ba people. People from different regions merge into different
ethnic groups, but they also regard themselves as Ba people rather than as members of one of the tribes.
It's a pity that the Northern Zhou Dynasty's policy towards the Ba people changed again and again, and even wanted to directly deprive the Ba people of their land and wealth. In addition, as a part of the Han Dynasty, the Ba people actually did not recognize these northern ethnic groups.
Naturally, this triggered a large-scale wave of resistance among the Pakistani people.
Now that Li Xingchen has given them everything they once had, the Ba people are naturally more willing to pursue such a stable and peaceful life.
"It's not easy to come by." Du Qi murmured.
He recalled the time when he was ordered to go to meet Li Xingchen with the hope of the whole family. At that time, he only wanted food and clothing. How could he think of today?
At the foot of Tianshui City in the northwest, Cao Zhong raised the pottery fragment in his hand, and the soldiers burst into shouts. The shouts of "Long live the great man" still persisted in the raging wind. Next to him were Xu Deyan, Changsun Sheng, Yu Yi and others.
Their expressions became even more solemn. They had received the order from the imperial court and took the opportunity to break through the Xie Valley. After spring plowing, the army gathered and it was time to prepare for battle.
Although the Northwest General has proven its ability through previous battles with the Turks, the gap between it and the enemy is not non-existent. Although the Northwest and Hanzhong are like the two blades of a pair of pliers clamping Guanzhong, the two
The two blades can only be connected by the rugged Chencang Road. Everyone has actually experienced the pain of transporting manpower and supplies in the previous northwest battle.
If the whole of Bashu had not devoted all its strength, I am afraid that the battle in the northwest would have been a disaster.
Therefore, the importance of opening up the inclined valley road is self-evident.
But this means that they will face the stubborn resistance of Liang Rui and Li Bi, and may even face the counterattack of Yang Jian's main force in Guanzhong. You must know that although Yang Jian is now focusing on Tongguan, he is preparing to fight with Yu Wenxian after spring plowing.
However, before the army has set off, no one can make a conclusion, especially when the opponent is a cunning hero like Yang Jian.
For Cao Zhong and others, this new year may not be very easy, and may even be full of challenges that they could not have anticipated before.
However, for the soldiers of the northwest who have overcome strong winds, heavy snows, and packs of wolves on the grasslands, there is nothing to be afraid of.
"At this time, the spring water in the south of the Yangtze River should be warm, right?" Cao Zhong murmured, feeling the wind blowing against his face.
"It's time to go out and sing loudly." Xu Deyan also said beside him at this time.
The two looked at each other and understood each other's thoughts.
Defeat Guanzhong and return home in glory!
——————————————
While all parts of the Han Dynasty are immersed in the busyness of spring plowing, there is still one place that is still in a state of depression and death.
From southern Huainan to Shouchun, reclamation was in full swing. However, after Shouchun, the Huaihe River showed its true character as the frontline of the confrontation between the north and the south for three hundred years. Waist-high grass on both sides of the river, abandoned towns and
The walls are in ruins, and there is no trace of smoke at all for hundreds of miles.
It's like being isolated from the rest of the world. In this season when all things are growing, there is still only the color of grass as the main color.
After Li Xingchen presided over the spring plowing ceremony, he drove northward to Zhongli County along the partially dredged Hangou. Because the water flow was not strong, he had to switch to small boats. On the shore, Li Ping would take another part of his bodyguards to escort him on horseback.
In fact, it is the safest to walk on this land with real Huainan characteristics. In this uninhabited wilderness, you can clearly see any movement. Especially now during the spring plowing period, although there is trade between the north and the south, the roads
There weren't many merchants coming and going, so no one would foolishly choose this time to come to trade, after all, there wouldn't be any customers coming.
From Nanjing to Beijing, those who buy are not as good as those who sell. Throughout the ages, the last thing to worry about is businessmen, who are always keen to seize the best opportunities.
There are not even the occasional caravans, making the road seem even more deserted. (To be continued)
