sweeping the world

Chapter 441 You Can't Say It's Competitive
Shihu has suffered a lot recently, the biggest shock is the Han army who clearly surrounded Chaoge, but they have been besieged and fought for so long and they can't break through. It can be said that the performance of Huan Wen's troops is really enough to deal a blow to Shihu. The confidence of the Han army.

Not only Shihu, it should be said that the confidence of Shijie and Zhao Jun's entire country is disintegrating and collapsing.

Not to mention that the Jie people did not defeat or wipe out the Han army, but they were stalemate and suffering everywhere. For those who are not Jie people, it is simply "the father can't beat it, and we can't beat it." The Jie family is "when will such a group of hard stubble appear, it is not easy to deal with".

Regardless of whether it is towards oneself or others, the human heart is difficult to understand.When you are confident, you will be confident in whatever you do, and your success rate will be high.When you don’t have confidence, you will hesitate or even feel guilty about doing anything. If you don’t believe that you can accomplish that thing, how can you have a high success rate when you do it.

"That's right, more than [-] people have fought around a trapped enemy camp for so long, but they can't break it." Zhang Ju was also an old courtier in the Shi Le period. As for the relationship between tigers and tigers, I can say some truthful words: "This Han country that popped up suddenly is different from other countries. Judging from the actual combat situation, we can't eliminate it in a short time, especially... various ethnic groups have begun to have different opinions. We'd better Think long term."

Today's world is different from the unification period of Qin, Han, and Jin. There are seven countries that have founded the country, and it is impossible to explain clearly the large and small forces.Some countries look like countries, but in fact, the mountains inside are like separate kingdoms.

Take the Shijie State of Zhao as an example. The Jie tribe is dominant, but the overall strength of the Qiang and Di tribes is not bad. The difference is that the Qiang and Di tribes have their own divisions and it is difficult to unite.In addition to the Qiang and Di tribes, Huns and Xianbei also have certain strengths, not to mention the huge number of Zahu tribes.Such Shijie Zhao Guoming is a country on the surface, but in fact it is a multi-tribal alliance.

In the case of the small courts of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Sima royal family became a signboard, and the aristocrats and aristocratic families made the decisions. The result was that the south of the Yangtze River was actually a status quo of self-government by large and small lords. The difference was that the aristocrats and aristocratic families played more civilized.

"Things are really bad." Shi Hu looks quite normal now, there is no trace of cruelty, and even a decadent atmosphere: "I don't understand, is it that a country whose country name is Han is destined to be strong? What method did Liu Yan use to build such a country in such a short period of time?"

By the way, Shi Hu was called the emperor a month ago, and it was revenge for the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty to tear up the covenant.

After the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was defeated in succession, a large area north of the Yangtze River was occupied by the Han army. The loss of troops and generals also led to the capture of Chu Pei, the head of the state.They feel that they are not ready for a full-scale war. After Han Guo agreed to Chu Po's redemption, no matter whether it is accumulating strength or what, he has been very honest recently.

This is Shi Hu's second proclaimed emperor. Apart from taking revenge on the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, he also wants to boost the morale of the whole country, but it seems that it is not very useful at present.

"The tribesmen are the foundation. If the tribesmen are there, the strength will be there. If the tribesmen fight too hard, there will be nothing left." What Zhang Ju said is a thought of the Hu people. The long-term nomadism has made the Hu people have a weak concept of territory. , paying more attention to population than land.He was silent for a while and said: "It is best to incite those in the Han territory to cause chaos. While the Han army retreats, Zhao will gain time to prepare for war. But... it is time to manage Bingzhou and Shuofang."

"I know." Shi Hu said so, but his eyes were full of sternness: "Most areas in the Central Plains are not suitable for cavalry combat. If we really want to fight the Han army, it should take place in the plains."

As long as Fan Shijie has some territorial concepts, he would not say that the vast majority of Jie people are concentrated in the vicinity of Xiangguo, and the rest of the places are herding sheep and allowing the Hu people of all ethnic groups to govern themselves.

For a long time, as long as the local government can pay taxes, Shijie's ruling class really doesn't care what kind of local government is. They are confident in their own force and think that as long as the force of the Jie people is strong enough, all ethnic groups will Bengta did not dare to disobey, and the facts also proved that before Liu Yan's rise, the various ethnic groups did not dare to disobey the orders from Shijie's ruling class.

"It would be even better if the Han army could be defeated or even eliminated along the great river." Wu Jin, a monk, has recently become Shihu's favorite, all because his prophecy has come true, that is, Shijie's dominance has been threatened , the difference is that it is the Han people who threaten Shijie's rule, not the Jin people.He clasped his hands together and recited a Buddha's name, saying: "Your Majesty sent people to encourage all living beings to benefit all living beings for the Buddha. All living beings must follow His Majesty's call."

It stands to reason that a monk should not be allowed to participate in military affairs, but Wu Jin is one of them.It looks like he can not only participate, but also has a certain right to speak?
The ascetics now have the idea of ​​establishing a Buddhist kingdom, and they are following a top-down route of spreading their faith. People like Wu Jin who converted to ascetics from the Central Plains are the most radical, while the group of monks from the Western Regions seem to be gentle.

Shi Hu grinned as if he was smiling, looked around the crowd, and said: "Things have to be done, and the road ahead must also be prepared."

At Qinting, about 250 miles away from Fangtou, Liu Yan rides on a horse and looks at the rolling river in front of him. The river is so clear that people can see the grass in the shallow river. The tool looked at the bloated body.

To the north of Qinting is Yangping County, which is no longer the territory of Shijie Zhao State. After Xu Zheng led his army northward, Cao Fu, who had fought fiercely with Li Kuang, took the initiative to retreat, and most of Yangping County had been occupied by the Han army.

"So, there is indeed instability in various places?" The person Liu Yan asked was Ji Chang.His eyes were scanning the north bank, and his tone was somewhat cautious: "Is it partially unstable or is it overall unstable?"

"Your Majesty, unrest has occurred in Hanoi County, Xingyang County, Hejian County, Bohai County, and other counties that have just been occupied or are adjacent to Shijie." Ji Chang was also riding a horse, standing half a body above Liu Yan Behind him, his face was as cold as ice, and he said: "There are rumors among the people that we will cleanse the Hu people in the local area, and we will kill millions of them. We are indeed liquidating the Hu people. They are I was so scared that I jumped over the wall in a hurry."

"Liquidation is inevitable." Liu Yan never planned to let some evildoers go, not only the Hu people, but also the Jin people.He said: "Right now, there is only turbulence in the border area, and it will surely sweep to the hinterland."

There is no debate on the liquidation and disposal of a group of people in the Han Dynasty, but it is not the kind of killing that only looks at the ethnic group and does not look at the good and evil.

That is a very real issue. No matter what ethnic group you are in, there are good people and bad people. In fact, there is no pure good or bad in the world. It depends on your standpoint.

Liu Yan still hopes to absorb and integrate a group of Hu people, but it is not the kind of generalization of the Madonna. While talking about practical utility, classes still need to be divided. People who want to integrate into the big family of the Han Dynasty need to be remunerated gradually.

"With the current means of communication, the speed of message transmission cannot be fast." Liu Yan calculated silently in his heart, and said: "Our troops fighting Shijie are close to 35, and the hinterland only maintains a certain amount of garrison troops. Tai'an needs urgent dealt with."

The real situation is that the original opinion of Liu Yan and many core senior officials was to use the power of the victory to deal with the aristocratic families, wealthy families, and powerful people in the territory after a great victory over the Shijie Zhao Kingdom.I have to say that this idea was originally a very good one. After all, if it could achieve a major victory on the battlefield, the Han army would be more powerful. If the Han army was more powerful, the hostile forces would feel guilty, and they would definitely get twice the result with half the effort.

There is a general framework for how things should be handled. The formulation of the plan is in progress, but it must be a lot worse than actually launching the action.Fortunately, Han Guo is monitoring some relatively powerful local powers.

"The essence of us is only Qingzhou, and there are no great powers in Qingzhou." Ji Chang said the truth. He was silent for a while, and had to say another truth: "Except for Qingzhou, the situation in other places It is not optimistic, especially in areas that were newly liberated last year."

Liu Yan sighed suddenly and said: "I have been avoiding the bottomless purge. This time, I am afraid that there will be a bloodshed."

In the eyes of many people, the world is just a corner of the Central Plains. In Liu Yan’s eyes, the world is at least the entire world island. After all, manpower is still needed to carry out endless development. With 200 million, the number of barbarians should be around 300 million, so he would think about how to integrate a group of barbarians.

Of course, not all Hu people will be absorbed and integrated by Liu Yan, such as the Jie family.For example, the Xiongnu, Xianbei and some Zahu, who came from later generations, he should know one thing, that is, the historical southern Xiongnu, Xianbei, and Zahu were actually mostly Chineseized during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and there were no Xiongnu, Xianbei, or Zahu at all later. Xianbei and Zahu all became Han Chinese.

Ji Chang's cheeks twitched, and he said, "Yes, I want to kill a river of blood."

Shi Jie Zhao State exaggerated that the Han Congress would conduct a comprehensive purge of non-Han people (Jin people), calling on the Hu people everywhere to resist the rule of the Han State and unite to destroy the Han State.

In fact, a similar thing happened three years ago. At that time, Wu Jin predicted to Shihu that Shijie's rule would end in the hands of the Jin people. Shihu began to persecute the Jin people under his rule, and issued a clear order to eliminate it. .

Liu Yan smiled wryly and said to Ji Chang: "The Hu people have an order to kill the Han, so maybe I will issue an order to kill the Hu."
