Chapter 733: The Journey Begins
A few days later, as the weather gradually warmed, Fei Qian and Yu Fuluo embarked on a journey to expand north.
Yu Fuluo was naturally very happy, and automatically took over most of the scout work, pulling his neck and shouting Yo Hu Hu to shuttle back and forth, releasing the scout like an unfolded fan.
Ma Yan and Xu Shu need to stay in Pingyang to guard an area including Beiqu and Diaoyin, after all, Baishiqiang still has a certain fear of Ma Yan, and with Xu Shu in charge, Fei Qian can also be more assured, so this time he went north, only Xu Huang, Ma Yue, and Zhang Ji were brought with him.
Xu Huang led the footmen, while Ma Yue and Zhang Ji led the cavalry.
Shaanxi in later generations is a land dominated by yellow, crumpled like a piece of sugarcane residue that has been chewed dry, and like a crumpled piece of ancient rice paper, large and small ravines are rugged, and a mouth is a mouthful of yellow dust and sand.
In the Han Dynasty, although there was more vegetation than in later generations, and not all the yellow mud was seen at the touch, it was even more desolate.
From the carving yin upwards, it is gradually sparsely populated, especially after the high slaves, sometimes you can't see a village for most of the day, let alone pedestrians on the road.
Because no one has repaired it for a long time, the straight road from Chang'an to the foot of Yin Mountain from the Sanfu area is also dilapidated, and even the entire road in some areas has been dug up......
Fei Qian sometimes feels helpless about this situation.
Because such road destruction is not natural, but man-made, why should a road be destroyed that has cost countless manpower, material and financial resources to build......
Are such examples still rare in the later Anti-Japanese War?
Xianbei, East and West Qiang, the reason why the Eastern Han Dynasty is inferior to the Western Han Dynasty is sometimes reflected in the attitude of the central court towards these ethnic minorities.
Fei Qian followed the large army further north, and there was an idea in his mind that became stronger and stronger, although the Qin Dynasty was short, but the Guanxi people of the Qin Dynasty had strong national self-confidence, so they would have a calm attitude and build the road in all directions, because the Guanzhong people of the Qin Dynasty at that time believed that they had enough strength to resist any attack, rather than making such a move to dig and cut off the road, just like a straight road, the Qin Dynasty people directly repaired to the bottom of the Yin Mountain......
In the Han Dynasty, this kind of courage was increasingly lacking.
At the beginning of the Western Han Dynasty, after Donghu was defeated by the Xiongnu Maodunshan, Xianbei, like Wuhuan, became the object of the rule and enslavement of the Xiongnu slave master regime. For example, the father of Tanshi Huai, the Marquis of Lu, served in the Xiongnu for three years.
At the beginning of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Xianbei still belonged to the Xiongnu, but gradually had a relationship with the Han Dynasty. At the beginning of the establishment of the martial arts, Xianbei had united with the Xiongnu and Wuhuan into the north of the Han Dynasty, "killing the officials, and there was no Ning Sui".
Since then, "the Xiongnu, Xianbei and Chishan Wuhuan have been strong and strong, and they have been counted". In the twenty-first year of the establishment of the army, the Xiongnu and Xianbei divided their troops to invade the north, and the Xiongnu plundered the valley and Zhongshan, and Xianbei harassed Liaodong.
Liaodong Taishou sacrificed Tong to "three captives and peace, and pawns were the border harm", which was to use the power of Xianbei to fight against the Xiongnu and Wuhuan. In the twenty-fifth year of Jianwu, Wuhuan moved to the border county of Senei, and the Xianbei forces extended south to the Laoha River, and the Han "first pass envoy". Lord Xianbei went to Liaodong to annex him, and sacrificed Tong to make him counterattack the Xiongnu in the Iyuzi department. Since then, the Xiongnu and Xianbei have attacked each other and declined.
In the 30th year of the establishment of the martial arts, the Xianbei Lord Yu Qiu Ben and the head of the people of the Han Dynasty were named kings and marquises. It is the beginning of Xianbei's acceptance of the title of the Han Dynasty. At the same time, Sai Tong bribed the envoy to send troops to attack the Chishan Wuhuan who migrated to Yuyang. In the first year of the level, he captured Chishan and beheaded Lord Wuhuan Xin Zhiben. As a result, "the Xianbei adults all came to attach, and Liaodong was rewarded, and Qing and Xu Erzhou gave 270 million yuan in money", and Xianbei gradually gained an advantage outside the Saiwai.
Subsequently, with the gradual decline of the Xiongnu, Xianbei occupied the territory of the original Xiongnu and began the process of war and peace with the Eastern Han Dynasty......
However, in these historical documents, Fei Qian found that the so-called "killing" appeared in many places. This official was naturally an official sent by the Han Dynasty to manage and coordinate relations and trade between the Han and Hu people on the border.
The reason for the killing of the officials is naturally not mentioned in the history books, but Fei Qian can probably imagine that it seems that the rebellion of the ethnic minorities recorded in the rolling torrent of China started at the same time.
First kill one or two officials of the central court to test their attitude, and then swell their ambitions in a cautious state of anxiety, and then lead the army to set off a rebellion, and in the process, in fact, sometimes it only takes a person like Bangu who has the ability to make decisions and actions, and often nip the ambition of the border Hu people in the bud.
Fei Qian glanced at the Southern Xiongnu tribe who were camping on the side, and wondered if he really wanted to say something about the future generations, in the Three Kingdoms during this period of time, too many talents broke out in a short period of time, so after the fall of the star, there was a fault line of talents?
And all kinds of outstanding people who broke out during the period of the Three Kingdoms, if they are taken to the border, they don't seem to be inferior to people like Bangu, for example, if Tai Shici can guard the north, with his ability to make decisions on the spot, it is estimated that whether it is the Southern Xiongnu or Xianbei, he can play it to the death......
It's a pity that Tai Shici still returned to Montenegro first, and did not directly accept Fei Qian's solicitation. However, for the current situation, Tai Shici's behavior can also be understood.
However, since there is still a relationship between Tai Shi Ming, presumably when Tai Shi Ci leaves Gongsun Zan in the future, he will naturally be inclined to Fei Qian's side, so although Fei Qian regrets it, he is not in a hurry.
On the contrary, the current strategy for Qiuzi is the top priority at this stage.
This area, that is, starting from Gaonu, crossed the Zoumashui, and then crossed the Great Wall of the old Zhao State from Fushi to the Qiuci area, if it is replaced by the area of later generations, it is almost from Suide to Yulin in Shaanxi......
This area is an important transit area south of Yinshan, and there is a saying in later generations, called "Aunt Suidehan of Mizhi, the widow of Yulin", which is about the people in this area.
Usually this sentence is interpreted as rice fat produces beauty, Suide produces heroes, and Yulin produces widows, but the pathos hidden behind it has a thousand bitterness. The people of northern Shaanxi value love and righteousness, so there are also many heroes who are buried on the battlefield, so how many mothers-in-law and aunts in Yulin have become widows.
But from another point of view, since this area can raise famous beauties and heroes in later generations, then naturally this area can support a large number of people, and it can also provide for a good ......
Not far from the north of Qiuzi is the white soil, the reason why it is called white soil, because there is a large area of desertification in the northwest of the white soil, there is no grass, and people are inaccessible. Under the conditions of the Han Dynasty, to take a large army to the desert Gobi region, except for fantasy, it was basically a pure act of seeking death.
There is a water source, there is a relatively flat land relative to the surrounding folds, and it is a very suitable area as a base for attack or defense, so if Fei Qian wants to take Yinshan into his arms, he can't get around this area, and he also has to use this area to continue to expand in the direction of Yinshan in the north.
Fei Qian was thinking about it, and suddenly saw some smoke and dust rising in the distance to the south, it seemed that a group of cavalry was coming from Fei Qian's rear, I don't know if it was friend or foe......
