Yang Su gently stroked the battlements of Jade Wall City.
This city has been repaired and expanded many times, and of course it is no longer the jade-walled city that Wei Xiaokuan used to defeat Gao Huan.
As all military strategists know, sometimes the smaller the city, the easier it is to defend it. Large cities such as Luoyang and Chang'an are often vulnerable to the enemy due to insufficient defenders. The current Jade Wall City is in order to be able to better defend the city.
Guarding the Fenshui River beach, the city was expanded, but it was not as easy to defend as the previous Jade Wall City. Perhaps this was another reason why Chang Shan decisively gave up the Jade Wall City.
Looking east from Jade Wall City, the undulating mountains are like a natural barrier, shielding the various capitals in Hedong behind. Although the waves of Fenshui are blocked by cold wind and ice, this jade dragon still divides the land of Hedong.
.
More than ten years ago, this was the border between the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the Northern Qi Dynasty. The two sides relied on the Fen River and Yubi, and the two cities of Hua Valley faced each other. Famous generals from both sides, such as Hu Lujin and Wei Xiaokuan, once traveled here. It can be said that Luoyang was abandoned in Yuwenyong.
The main battlefield was shifted to Jinyang. This was the main flank battlefield where the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the Northern Qi Dynasty faced off. There were also many wars that broke out around this place. Just looking down from the city, you can see the hills outside the city.
There are countless graves in the wilderness, but I don’t know which war they were from.
When did he feel war-weary? Yang Su smiled to himself.
Yes, it's almost the end of the year and everyone wants to live in peace and contentment.
Footsteps sounded, and Li Xun walked over quickly, followed by Wang Long and Da Xideng.
Yang Su looked back at them and couldn't help but smile: "You should have seen the imperial decree. I would like to congratulate you."
Naturally, these words were spoken to Wang Long and Da Xipeng, who hurriedly moved toward the southeast direction of Luoyang and said, "I am grateful to His Majesty for your kindness in appreciating and promoting me. I should be ashamed of myself."
Yang Su nodded slightly: "From now on, you and I will be colleagues. Wang Jun, please rest assured that the Wang family has been escorted out by white robes and will arrive in Puzhou soon. Now the Jinzhou Administrative Office of the Han Dynasty has been established in Puzhou first. Wang
After you hand over the affairs at hand, you can return to take office and reunite with your family."
Wang Long hurriedly saluted: "Thank you, Governor."
"Since we are colleagues, it is reasonable and we should do our duty." Yang Su smiled and looked at Da Xi Cun again, "The Da Xi family is also considered a big family in Zhou people. Brother Da Xi is not the only one among the family's children. In addition, he is his father's brother.
Name, Yu Wenxian should not kill the Daxi family now. Brother Daxi can rest assured that Yecheng is heavily guarded. Baipao may not be able to rescue the Daxi family for a while, but what Yu Wenxian wants to do must be done first.
I'll stop him for Brother Da Xi."
Da Xicheng also thanked him.
Compared to Wang Long, his need to protect his family is not that high.
The Daxi family are pure Xianbei people, and among the children in the family, Daxi is not the only one serving the country. The others are at least loyal Zhou ministers, and the Xianbei people are what Yu Wenxian must unite with now.
The target, so I will definitely not do anything to the Daxi family at this time, otherwise it may arouse the opposition of all Xianbei people.
Yang Su looked at Da Xi Dun. Of course he knew what the Da Xi family was planning.
Large families have their own way of survival in troubled times, and it is very important not to put all their eggs in one basket. Therefore, Yang Su does not doubt the authenticity of Da Xicun as a Xianbei person who surrendered to the Han Dynasty. Rather than saying this,
It was Da Xi's decision alone, rather it was the decision of Da Xi's family and even many Xianbei families.
Da Xipeng is equivalent to the stone thrown out when asking for directions.
It is no longer a secret that Yuwen's Northern Zhou Dynasty can no longer hold on. Even now, people in the world have used the word "Northern Zhou" to refer to this dynasty that once occupied the entire Central Plains. This further shows that this dynasty is on the verge of collapse.
This is a dynasty established by the Xianbei people, but it does not mean that all Xianbei people must die for this dynasty.
I would rather have broken jade than complete tiles. I am talking about the royal family, not the vast number of Xianbei people.
Things have changed, but life has to go on, right?
When the Western Jin Dynasty collapsed, many Han people took the initiative to die for the Western Jin Dynasty. Many people even stood on the side of the northern grassland tribes and acted as vanguards for these grassland tribes to go south and complete their Hanization.
Historically, when the Sui Dynasty replaced the Northern Zhou Dynasty and became independent, the Xianbei people did not resist much. That is to say, Yuchi Jiong raised a rebellion in Yecheng and was easily put out by Yang Jian. This shows that the Xianbei people had given up at that time.
Fight and choose to obey a dynasty established by the Han people.
The same is naturally true for the Xianbei people today.
Da Zhou saw that he was in trouble, so he had to see if this big man could tolerate him, right?
The entire Xianbei ethnic group had no need or willingness to be buried in the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
Family world, family world. In the final analysis, the Northern Zhou Dynasty is the world of the Yuwen family, and it cannot be said that it is the world of the Xianbei people. The Yuwen family is willing to admit that the social status of the Xianbei people in the Northern Zhou Dynasty is higher than that of other ethnic groups. That is the Yuwen family's business, and they can do it at any time
If you don’t admit it, for example, if you carry out comprehensive sinicization like the Northern Wei Dynasty, then where will the so-called Xianbei and Han people be?
The Xianbei people do not appreciate the kindness of the Yuwen family. His family is here for the stability of their family and has little to do with us.
As long as changing the emperor still won't harm us or even oppress us, then change it.
Yang Su's hand gently tapped the battlements.
At this time, he had gradually understood everything His Majesty had done and for what purpose.
Whether it is academies, schools, or even the imperial examination system, laws, etc., these are undoubtedly cultivating the people's sense of belonging to this dynasty and this country.
When people no longer just live for their own home or family, but live for the entire country, the country will naturally be stable, because no matter how powerful the enemy is, they will stand side by side and fight for the common survival.
And fight hard.
From the family world to the family country world, Yang Su found that he had read so many books and traveled so many roads, but he had never noticed the difference.
For most people, loyalty to the monarch is ultimately inferior to loyalty to themselves. Therefore, only when they realize that their family and country are one, and that they, the monarch, and the entire country will both prosper and suffer, can everyone lose.
I will rise up and use my own life to defend this country and fight the enemy outside the country.
Your Majesty, you really have played a big game of chess.
Perhaps the people who should be most grateful to His Majesty are the countless descendants.
"Brother Chu Dao, what are you thinking about?" Li Xun couldn't help but ask with a smile.
After capturing Jade Wall City, everyone was in a good mood.
Yang Su pointed at the mountains in the distance: "I'm thinking that it's almost the New Year, so I want to pay Chang Shan a happy New Year."
"Brother Chu Dao, are you trying to scare Chang Shan to death?" Li Xun complained.
