sweeping the world

Chapter 3 The Long Journey Home

"Severe wind blows frost and seaweed withers,... 30 soldiers of the Han family, the general also leads Huo prostitutes and Yao.... The enemy can be destroyed, the head is destroyed, and the heart of the Hu is involved in blood. ... No one, Han Dao Chang. Your majesty’s life span is three thousand frosts. But the song is so powerful that the wind and clouds are flying, and there are warriors guarding the four directions."

Liu Yan was singing, and the sentence "There is no one in Hu, the Han Dynasty is prosperous. Your Majesty's life span is three thousand frosts. But the song is so stormy that the strong men are guarding the four directions." He repeated it again and again, and those who could understand the song listened. Come full of weirdness.

The Hu people read "Hu Wuren, Han Daochang", nothing surprised the Jin people more than this, and they began to wonder if they understood something wrong.

The song is not a song, but a poem. It comes from "No Man" by Li Bai, a poet of the Tang Dynasty. It is probably one of the few poems that Liu Yan can remember so clearly.

Tian Shuo has been trying to understand what kind of person Liu Yan is, and also wants to understand what kind of tribe the Han tribe is.He couldn't get any answers from the soldiers in scarlet shirts, but got some plausible answers from some people who were also from Jin.

Those Jin people who had followed Liu Yan for a long time told Tian Shuo that Liu Yan had always called himself a Han, and no one dared to ask whether it was a Han of the Huns or a Han of the Han. From the perspective of daily food, it is absolutely rich, but no one knows how many people there are in the tribe, and where the main activities are, but those soldiers are really brave and fearless.

The world is in chaos today. If you count from the time when the Sima clan fell to Soochow, the Western Jin Dynasty, which was established only 37 years ago, fell under the attack of the Huns, and Emperor Huai and Emperor Min were both captured.

The Xiongnu established the Han State (later changed to Zhao), and the Jie tribe who had been slaves of the Huns destroyed the Han (formerly Zhao) and established the Later Zhao.The establishment of Hou Zhao did not end the chaos, and even the Jie tribe, whose total population was only a few hundred thousand, became the overlord of the Central Plains, which further aggravated the chaos.

The Jie people are not only cannibals, they are also the first race to establish a class in the Central Plains.According to the regulations of the Later Zhao Emperor, the Jie tribe was the first class, the Di tribe, the Huns and other Hu people were the second class, the beasts were the third class, and the Jin people in the territory were the fourth class.It is not a joke that wild animals are higher than Jin people, because Emperor Zhao issued a "hunting ban" against Jin people, stipulating that Jin people cannot harm wild animals.

What a miserable era that must have been?The people of Jin are even worse than beasts!

Hundreds of thousands of Jie people rule the entire Central Plains, and the Central Plains is full of Hu people. In fact, no one can say how many Hu people are in the entire Central Plains.In general, there should be between 200 million and 250 million Hu people living in the Central Plains, and the Jin people living in the Central Plains should be about the same?
There are only 500 million people living in the vast land, and most of them live in the city according to the habit of the past dynasties. It is conceivable how barren it should be.

"The sky is blue, the wild is vast, the wind blows and the grass looks down on the cattle and sheep. The blood of a man is heroic. When you shout for me, the river and the sea echo. The mountains are silent, and the water is mournful. The vertical and horizontal runs highlight the sharpness."

The previous "Chilechuan, under the Yin Mountain. The sky is like a dome, covering the whole field." But it was hidden by Liu Yan.

People from Jin who are slightly literate always seem a little intoxicated when they hear Liu Yan singing all the way.

Speaking of it, the Chinese nation can actually be said to be a romantic nation. People may not be able to leave their names in history, but good poems can be passed down forever.From the "Book of Songs" in the pre-Qin period in ancient times, to the "Fu" of the Han Dynasty, the "Poetry" of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and the "Ci" of the Song Dynasty, they are accompanied by so many magnificence and gold and iron horses, showing the prosperity and fleeting years.

Wilderness, wilderness everywhere, patches of grass taller than people, deserted everywhere, and occasionally passing by ruins of villages, the group led by Liu Yan headed north.

It's really barren!The cities that used to be bustling and prosperous now look dilapidated, and only a few of them still have residents, but most of them must be Hu people. Now Jin people are all busy fleeing for their lives.

It stands to reason that Liu Yan was on his way with a large group of people, so he should have attracted the attention of Hou Zhao?In fact it is not.If it happened near Xiangguo, the capital of the country, it might attract attention, but the post-Zhao regime is very busy now. They are busy cleaning up the mess, and they are also busy killing internally. A slave party.

oops!That's right, not only Jin people thought Liu Yan was from the Huns, but also those from Later Zhao thought that Liu Yan was a tribe of the Huns. Who made "Han" represent the Huns during the Sixteen Kingdoms period of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, so Liu Han , Former Han, Later Han... There are all kinds of Han, and the sign of "Han" has long been equivalent to the Xiongnu.Even the Di tribe established Chenghan, but the official name is Qiuchi.

Liu Yan has already realized that it is a good idea to pretend to be a Hun. Although he was extremely upset in his heart, he didn't go around complaining that he was not a Hun.Furthermore, he couldn't explain it clearly, but the depressed "imperial Han" not only became stinky in later generations, but even the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Sixteen Kingdoms period were also stinky!
In such a special period, having a Hu identity in the north is equivalent to a "protective umbrella". No matter how depressed or unhappy Liu Yan is, he has to divide it into periods.He vented his depression and unhappiness on the people along the way. He didn't care what race the people came from. He would kill them all if he could do it, and avoid them if he couldn't.

People who originally had doubts about Liu Yan's identity as a Huns no longer had doubts after seeing what he did.Why?Because the Jin people are not that courageous, only the Hu people are willing to take revenge.

In this way, it's not that no one can't see Liu Yan's actions, but the people who provoke are basically miserable. In the Hu people's concept that fist is the boss, Liu Yan has established friendship with some Hu people.

On this day, Liu Yan left the brigade with only more than [-] people. He ordered Tian Shuo and others to continue leading the brigade towards the established goal, and then ran towards a passing city.

Now all the cities are very dilapidated, how dilapidated it is?The city wall is a situation that collapses at intervals, so although there is a city wall, there are flaws everywhere.

Even though there are gaps in the city wall, there are no parapets, arrow stacks, or towers on the top.

Because there are gaps everywhere in the city wall, entering and leaving the city is not through the city gate at all. Liu Yan and more than [-] people have changed their clothes earlier, so entering the city is not through the city gate.Before they entered the city, they met some people, and the two sides just looked at each other from a long distance, and neither of them paid attention to each other deliberately.

After entering the city, they could not see a single person in the city. All they could see were ruins everywhere. Ruins one after another became the characteristics of the city. What was more unique were the skeletons and dry bones that could be seen everywhere. Papa.

Naturally, Liu Yan and the others would not go deep into the city, they just wandered around the periphery. After about two hours, the expected person finally appeared.

He was a relatively respectable person in the city. To put it bluntly, he was either from the Jie tribe or the Di tribe. Twenty or so strangers suddenly appeared in the city. It would be strange to say that they didn't respond.

The people didn't appear so abruptly, someone came to say hello first, and then found a place, and then twenty or thirty barbarians came over.

The Jie people are pure white people with yellow hair, short hair, green eyes, and high noses. They usually have disheveled hair and wear everything.

The Di people are of the yellow race, but most of them have curly hair and dress relatively well... To put it bluntly, they are closer to the Han people, and the so-called Sinicization is more serious.

This was not the first time Liu Yan had dealt with barbarians, and he knew that he was asking for directions.

"Coming from the northwest." Liu Yan has a language translation system. He can speak whatever accent he wants, and he can speak whatever he wants. Now he has an authentic Qiang accent: "I am passing through here, and I have to continue to the north. .”

The north of Qingzhou is either other land boundaries, or Yizhou.When he came, he had already made it up. Later Zhao and the Eastern Jin Dynasty were fighting on the banks of the Yangtze River. He made up a set of arguments about wanting to go to the Eastern Jin Dynasty. That would explain why Qingzhou was the one who went to Yizhou, not other places.

These days the land of the Central Plains is respected by the Jie tribe, and the person speaking is naturally the Jie tribe. The mature man of the Jie tribe nodded and said: "If you want medicinal materials, you must go to the southern land, or you must go to Liaodong."

Liu Yan played the banner of the Qiang nationality and said that he wanted to purchase medicinal materials.

The Qiang people are relatively active now, but they are generally active in the northwest and the basin below the plateau (Tuyuhun), and they are also active in the Shu region.

Liu Yan didn't know whether the Qiang people had founded a nation, he could only say that he represented a large tribe.There is actually a reason for this. The people he brought looked like tough enemies at first glance, and they had the style of a military force. Who wouldn't bring a group of warriors with him when traveling far away these days?
It must be explained that at the beginning of this year, only Hu people would wander around. People from Jin didn't say whether they could stroll around, but they definitely didn't dare to run around with their guards openly, or they would be killed and have nowhere to redress their grievances.

The post-Zhao regime also had Qiang people as officials, but they were still not as good as the Di people. Although they were all second-class people, there were still differences.

This city is just a small place, and the so-called respectable people are just like that. Liu Yan talks for a while, and those barbarians who can't travel dozens of miles can only listen.

Liu Yan is talking nonsense with a limit, talking about local customs and customs, and not involving too high-end things.

When those Jie and Di people heard that Liu Yan was able to talk about the customs of so many places, some of them were heard by hearsay, not because they were simple-minded, but because they really had limited knowledge, and in addition, Liu Yan did not have the slightest shadow of a Jin person in terms of dressing up or being in the world. , let's just believe that Liu Yan came from afar.

The Jie people are domineering, and they are domineering to everyone. The Jie people who are the masters get some medicinal materials at will, saying that they want to sell them to Liu Yan, and let them set the price at will.

Who is Liu Yan?No matter how bad it is, people who have been bombarded by modern information, how can they not understand what it means.Isn't it just asking for a toll or something!
Give, but you can't give too much. If you want to blackmail more, you have to be tough, and put on a posture that it's a big deal.

This is actually right, only Chinese Miao descendants who talk about etiquette and laws like to keep things quiet. What the barbarians talk about is that everyone gives each other face, and if they don't give face, they talk with their fists.

After dealing with prominent people, Liu Yan's identity is accepted, and he can wander around openly. There are many things to see, but he may not be in a good mood if he sees too much...
