Chapter 563 Liu Yan's Biggest Secret
Xie Ai was born in Dunhuang and is a native of Liangzhou.His family was a prominent family in Dunhuang. He was not greatly affected by the war since he was a child, and he stayed in the family to study until the crown ceremony.

As a child of a family, the enlightenment is to use "Thousand Characters", and start learning "The Analects" when you know enough characters, and start learning "The Book of Songs", "Shangshu", and "Book of Changes" after you have mastered the "Analects". Unfortunately, although the Xie family is a famous family in Dunhuang, unless it is a thousand-year-old family in the Central Plains... even a thousand-year-old family does not have a complete set of books.

After all, this is an era where knowledge is monopolized. Even if every family collects as many books as possible, it is absolutely impossible to get everything they want to collect.

Fortunately for Xie Ai, the family's "The Analects" has annotations from several generations. Furthermore, there are fragments of "Six Tao" and "Three Strategies" in his family, and even two chapters of "Wei Liao". "Zi", of course he considers himself a Confucian scholar, but in fact, seriously, he has more insights on military strategy.

A person who can achieve amazing achievements in certain fields must have learned enough knowledge, otherwise he should accumulate experience step by step.Xie Ai has a good foundation, because the family is not considered weak in Liangzhou, and when he is old, he is naturally promoted to Xiaolian and becomes an official under the Zhang family's Liangguo system.

Many people's starting point depends on whether they cast a good tire. Of course, Xie Ai cast a good tire, and he can be regarded as good enough. It only took less than eight years to climb to Zhang's Liang The class of middle-level officials in the country will get the opportunity to shoulder important responsibilities later.

According to Xie Ai's original understanding, he should have lived under the Zhang regime. Even if he was a gangster, he could get mixed up with the group of people who could affect the future of the country. However, the trajectory of his life changed after he went to Han.

Xie Ai did not have any good impressions when he went to the Han Dynasty. When the barbarians brought disaster to the world, because Liu Yuan established a Huns "Imperial Han", in fact, "Han" alone has been defiled in the meaning of this word .

That's really the case. Liu Yuan established the "Imperial Han" in the name of the descendants of the Han Dynasty, but some things he did were not very "Han". In addition, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, after the melee of the princes, it was the Three Kingdoms that stood side by side, and then the Three Kingdoms Returning to Jin Dynasty, more than [-] years of war made people not have a good impression of the word "Han".

When changing dynasties, you will be who you are in whatever dynasty you are in, and you will call yourself whoever you regard as Zhengshuo. For example, the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty at that time was still recognized as Zhengshuo, and the aliens claimed to be Jin people.

Liu Yanxian claimed to be from the Han tribe. At that time, he was indeed regarded by all the forces as another Hun who wanted to recall the soul of the former Han. He was ignored to the greatest extent at the beginning of his struggle. Xie Ai was an official in the Liang Kingdom of the Zhang family. Zhang's Liangguo regarded the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty as Zhengshuo, and the predecessor of the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Western Jin Dynasty, was made to travel south by the Huns.

When Xie Ai was sent as an envoy, Liu Yan had already formally founded the country and took the name of the country "Han", but at that time there was already news that Liu Yan was not a Hun, but a descendant of the former Han.

The first Han refers to the Western Han and Eastern Han, and it is mainly used to distinguish the Han Kingdom of the Xiongnu established by Liu Yuan from the Han Kingdom of the Di people established by Li Xiong.

No one can understand why Liu Yan is so obsessed with "Han". This has absolutely something to do with the education he received at the time.At that time, there were only two distinctions between Yanhuang Miao and foreign races, but Yanhuang Miao was not an ethnic group, but a general term.

There are too many people who can be regarded as Yanhuang Miao descendants. First of all, of course, the group of people living in the Central Plains. In the Western Han Dynasty, the royal family even produced an example that the Huns were actually Yanhuang Miao descendants. Later, the Qiang people were also regarded as the offshoot of the Yanhuang Miao descendants. , Later, in order to annex the Nanman, the Shu Han also engaged in a drama of "recognition of ancestors", which made the war between the Central Plains dynasty and various ethnic groups more like a racial civil war.

For anyone, the concept of nationality is actually vague. Their inability to confirm is of course related to many things. In addition to the political propaganda needs of some Central Plains dynasties in special periods, some words of sages after the rise of Confucianism also had a great influence. In "The Analects of Confucius. Ba'an" there is "If the barbarians and Di are from China, then they are from China; if the Chinese are from barbarians from Di, then they are from barbarians." Then there is also "Spring and Autumn Zuozhuan. Zhengyi" "The beauty of Huazhang is called Hua, and the greatness of etiquette is called Hua. Therefore, it is summer", and many other teachings are confusing, so that people do not know whether to distinguish whether a compatriot of the same race is based on blood, etiquette, or clothing.

In fact, it can probably be understood by summarizing it. Is it true that the Huaxia clan generally depends on ideas and sense of belonging? If you sit upright and have a sense of belonging, that's it.But there is a very serious problem, that is, no one sums up the words of the sages. As a result, this kind of confusion is still caused by the invasion of Western powers, and waiting for the concept of the country to spread to the old empire in the East, so that most people understand that this is the answer. thing.

There is only one difference between Liu Yan and everyone else. He knows what his roots are and what the meaning of existence of the Han nationality is.

To put it bluntly, Liu Yan can accept that the country is gone, but the Han people as a nation should be strong from beginning to end and last forever.

Liu Yan had this understanding after reading the colonial history of Western powers. Just look at the population distribution of the earth after the Age of Discovery. No matter how many countries the white people are divided into, the white people as a race are really It actually occupies the vast majority of the living space on the earth. People can distinguish between countries and even ethnic groups with different names, but the skin color is just there, and so are the ideologies and thoughts.

If you are weak, you will be beaten and bullied. There is not only one race of skin color on the earth, just look at the situation of the later generations of the Celestial Empire.Those white countries fight back and fight, once they involve the Celestial Dynasty, they should unite and suppress it. When a dispute arises, the white people will stand in the same camp. If there is a real war or something, the Celestial Dynasty will not have a real ally in the whole world.

The establishment of the Celestial Dynasty was not just about announcing that "you cannot survive the catastrophe and ascend to heaven", there were also many unspeakable things that happened in the process. For example, at a certain stage, many inexplicable things happened because of the ethnic groups that registered their household registrations. For example, some cadres were very clever in order to achieve their own political achievements. "Create" a nation.Have you ever seen that only three or four people are a nation?The Celestial Empire exists, but the nation's name and living habits are artificially "created", and then they have to hold their noses and continue to recognize them. Think about it, this is nothing.

Any country that is not stupid knows how important it is for the dominant ethnic group to have an absolute majority and ethnic purification, except for the Chinese dynasty.

Liu Yan lived and grew up in such an environment, because he is not an important person and cannot feel more, but he has learned one thing during his military career for a few years. Counseling in the sky is not really cowardly, it must be cowardly, and it has to be coquettish. It makes people feel that humans and animals are harmless, without the strength and strong consciousness of being an enemy of the world, and the second child of a thousand years is also a good choice, all because the Celestial Dynasty will be alone and helpless after the war breaks out.

So far in the Han Dynasty, not many people understand what Liu Yan is thinking and how far he wants to do things.

Only after experiencing it will you be deeply touched. When you can do it again, you must avoid making mistakes again. Liu Yan is clear, come, see, and smell, there is a chance to change, and you have the strength to change. What about the Millennium Empire? It is just a slogan, whether it can maintain the millennium empire, and the most important thing is to open up the living space of the Han family and Miao descendants to the greatest extent possible. The territory of the Celestial Dynasty, if you don’t believe us, let’s do some archaeology”, and then we should raise the banner of “put aside disputes and develop together”.

What belongs to the ancestors is not necessarily contemporary, because there is no such thing as "since ancient times" for territory. The problem is that at the very least, future generations can have the desire to take it back. Only those who have the pursuit can strive for it, and whether it can be done. Two more words.

Xie Ai belonged to the group of people who got a little glimpse into Liu Yan's thinking, but he didn't agree with it in his heart, and he was also opposed to Han's endless war, but he didn't disclose it to anyone.

The grassland is vast, and when there is no enemy situation, galloping a horse will make your thoughts drift away, and with the sound of rumbling horseshoes in your ears, you can't do anything if you want to concentrate on thinking.

The closer he got to the former site of Langjuxu Mountain, the more empty Xie Ai's head became.When I received the order, I was excited to be able to do the old things of the champion again.After actually entering the grassland, I kept making mistakes in my heart.Waiting to go deep into the grassland, I can't think about anything else just to hide my whereabouts and judge how to fight.It was only less than two hundred miles away from Langjuxu Mountain, and during the period, he had hit a few big ones, and the only thing left in his mind was that even if it was a flash of light, it should be radiant.

That's right, Xie Ai is now holding the idea of ​​success or success, and he has such an idea that the reinforcements promised by his king have not seen half of them yet.

"General, further ahead is the valley, and after passing the valley until you reach Langjuxu Mountain, there will be a flat river."

"Well."

The total number of people Xie Ai brought with him when he set out was [-], but now there are only less than [-] cavalry left, and more than [-] peasants from the system who followed him.

The valley will be the last place for them to rest and reorganize, and further east they will directly attack the Gulutai of the League of Kings without stopping.

Not all casualties were killed in battle. Those who died of illness during the march were directly burned to ashes. Those who were sick were resettled in selected places. Some were separated during the battle. The total number of the No. 17-day team after departure was [-]. One hundred and seven people.

Of course, not all the Han troops rushing for thousands of miles will enter the valley. There must be cavalry patrolling and guarding the periphery. Xie Ai has been wondering whether the reinforcements... the legendary reinforcements will appear, and where they will meet if they appear.

There has already been a battle, and the Han army has not yet been able to wipe out all the enemy troops. As long as those who escaped successfully have no brains, they should report it anyway. Then the kings who made the alliance must know that the Han army has penetrated alone.

It's not the champion Hou Huo Qubing's kind of rushing to the emptiness. From the beginning, he wanted to rush forward and attack directly. There is a big difference here.

Xie Ai would worry about being discovered when he was far away, but he didn't have that worry when he was close enough.The Han army that appeared was less than [-], and it was actually a lone army that went deep into the grassland. Those kings would think about how to wipe out this overwhelmed Han army, and they would not be so bad that they would think of running away when they got the news.

Entering the valley, Xie Ai quickly discovered the difference from the past, those muddle-headed peasants... Let alone peasants, it was the system peasants who started to get busy anyway.

At the beginning, Xie Ai was really dazed, waiting to see those system farmers conjure up materials and start building buildings. At that moment, it can be said that he felt that he had seen a ghost.

"This, this, this...!!!" Xie Ai is a Confucian student, or a devout follower of Confucianism. His first reaction was to order the soldiers to kill those peasants in the system. After a stuttering exclamation, he ordered: " Quarantine, no one is allowed to approach this place!"

Let's not talk about what the person who said "the son doesn't talk, the strange power and the gods" really want to express, even if the meaning of the misunderstood "gentleman stays away from the kitchen" is interpreted like that, Xie Ai is really scared , I still saw the familiar buildings under construction, so I refrained from killing those system farmers who could do tricks.

Yes, Xie Ai recognized those buildings as the military buildings that the military must have in every battle, but he was never qualified enough to learn Liu Yan's biggest secret from anyone, so he had to do everything by himself. guess.

With enough farmers in the system, one building after another was quickly formed. Xie Ai watched in a daze until he saw armed soldiers walking out of the buildings. Sit on the ground.

"Destiny... no wonder... no wonder the ministers and generals... they will... they will..." Xie Ai was in a bad mood, and stared at the soldiers coming out of those buildings with wide eyes: "This is what the destiny said ...This is the origin of the destiny!"

Xie Ai dared to swear to the ancient sages, eighteen generations of ancestors, and the gods. He kept watching that no one entered the building at all. .

How did the Janissaries come about?Xie Ai now knows that the Imperial Guard has never selected troops from all over the country, and it seems that they do not conduct any drills on a regular basis, but the Imperial Guard's fearlessness of death is well known to the world.

"What is this?" Xie Ai felt that all his cognitions were being overturned: "Scattering beans into soldiers? It is clear that no beans were sown. Summoning heavenly soldiers and generals? These soldiers did not come from the sky. Yin soldiers form an army? No matter how you look at it, it's not spooky."

Xie Ai just watched in such a distraught manner, he kept seeing the soldiers gather together and become many...
