Chapter 616: Time Flies (6)
Of course, Gao Tong's original words are not like that, after all, Huaxia is still a concept, and it is not a race or ethnic group.
The term "Huaxia" was first used in the Zhou Dynasty's Book of Shang? Book of the week? Wu Cheng", "Huaxia barbarian, reckless".
Left Pass? "Ten Years of Dinggong" said: "China has great etiquette, so it is called summer, and the beauty of uniforms is called Hua."
"Shujing" said: "The crown dress is said to be Chinese, and the big country is called summer."
"Shangshu Justice" note: "The crown is said to be Huazhang, and the great country is called Xia".
It can be seen that the ancients were gorgeous in terms of the beauty of clothing; The summer is based on the vast territory, cultural prosperity, and civilization and morality. Literally speaking, the word "Hua" has the meaning of beauty, and the word "Xia" has a grand meaning, which is indeed a beautiful word when connected, and does not refer to races or ethnic groups, at most it can only be regarded as a civilization system.
Gao Tong's original words will not see any words related to Huaxia, but the meaning of the whole sentence is like that, especially what I want to express is the meaning of "dividing the feudal for Zhou Tianzi" and "monarch", they must know that Wei and Korea are now protected states of Han, and the protected states are basically no different from vassal states, so it is obviously a euphemism to say that "we are already willing to become the vassal state of Han, and we will inevitably send people to listen to it every year, and the king of Han can negotiate any requirements."
The so-called "listening to it" is an old word, which is the language of the Spring and Autumn Period, and it is generally "Boss, I am willing to pay the protection fee, can I not be beaten" begging for mercy.
Since the Jin Kingdom in the Spring and Autumn Period always liked to be beaten by a group of younger brothers, no matter what era it was. Having a few subjects to follow is a very attractive thing, and it is also one of the manifestations of strength.
The overlord protects one or more countries and collects protection fees from the protected state as military expenses. This is also the most accepted means of trying to strengthen in the Spring and Autumn Period, but now how much time has passed since the Spring and Autumn Period, and what the countries are trying to do is not to accept the younger brother, but to annex the countries.
The land of China has long stopped playing the game of accepting the younger brother, and Lu Zhe accepted the surrender of Wei and South Korea in addition to having a buffer zone. It's just an attempt to create a kind of "You see, I didn't have a strong expansion, Wei and Korea were so weak that I didn't annex them, but chose to protect them." Therefore I am harmless to humans and animals", using such behavior to reduce the hostility of the nations.
LΓΌ Zhe has completely gained a firm foothold, and the existence of the Han State has become a historical fact, even if Qin, Qi, Yan, Zhao, Wei, and Han are now united, it will be difficult to eliminate. To be honest, there is no longer a fear of tearing up the camouflage. Therefore, in the whole plan of sending troops north,
Eating Wei and Korea was also part of the plan, depending on whether it was a peaceful fusion or a military annexation.
After all, Lu Zhe's idea of unification is also deep-rooted, after all, he lives in a land where the "idea of unification" has been maintained for more than two years, and as long as there is an opportunity, he will inevitably reunify the land of China. And it seems that the opportunity is getting closer?
Luo Shao thought very seriously about the question of whether Ou Yu Guo was a member of the Chinese system, and he didn't know how to tell the difference after thinking about it for a long time.
Gaotong was constantly persuading that the Ou Kingdom was established by the Kaiming clan, a descendant of the Shu Kingdom divided by Zhou Tianzi, and was naturally a part of the Chinese civilization system. He also kept pointing to his clothes and the scroll of national letters. The dress of the Ou Kingdom is the same as that of the Central Plains, and the national letter is also written in hieroglyphs. Isn't this proof that you are a member of the Chinese system?
In fact, it was in such an era that Luo Shao would be confused, and he also had the right to choose to continue to march or stop, and if it was in later dynasties, he would inevitably need to get orders from the emperor before he could make the next move.
After thinking carefully, Luo Shao told SΓΉ Gaotong that he would send troops to escort the members of the Ou envoy group, including Gaotong, to the national capital Nanling, and would not stop continuing to march unless he received an order from the king.
After all, the Ou Kingdom is still a member of the Chinese civilization system, Gao Tong of course knows that this is already the best result, and immediately stopped talking nonsense, and asked to send someone to notify Kai Mingpan at the same time, begging Luo Yao to escort them to Nanling as quickly as possible.
After Gaotong waited for the people from Ou Yu to leave, Wu Liang asked, "Do we really want to let those people go back?" β
Those people were none other than the group of people sent back by Gaotong to inform Kaimingpan.
Luo shook and smiled: "It's okay, it may be better for these people to go back than not to go back." β
Wu Liang would naturally be inclined to detain or kill him, but Luo Shao felt that giving Ou Yu a glimmer of hope for peace would help reduce the resistance of Ou Yu.
In fact, the angle chosen by the two is directly related to their identities, and Wu Liang is just a general, and what he sees will only be about the extension of military issues; Luo Shao is a military general at the level of a lieutenant general, and he sees not only the military in front of him, but also the problems at the strategic level.
The non-rainy season in this part of South Asia is very short, that is, the summer can be used for marching and fighting, once Luo Shao stops continuing to march and waits for a further order from the Nanling Center, it will be at least two months later. So no matter how Gao Tong asked, Luo Shao had already made up his mind that he would not stop marching.
However, Luo Shao also knew that the Ouluo Kingdom had been mobilized throughout the country, armed with nearly 200,000 young men ready to resist the invasion from the Han army, and the spies even reported that the Ouluo Kingdom had arranged a number of defense lines on the border, and these defense lines were all carried out on the hills, relying on the 60,000 Han troops to break through the defense line of the 200,000 Ouluo State army, but it was basically impossible to destroy the country at one time.
If Luo Shao is not mistaken, the object of his allegiance, that is, Lu Zhe's land of Ouyu has many names, Vietnam, Jiaozhi, Annam, ....... Of course, what it is called is not so important, the important thing is that Lu Zhe kept mentioning a question, this problem is also the most distressed after Luo Shao sent scouts to investigate, there are no large mountains in this damn place, but the small hills are dense, if you want to advance quickly, you can't even think about it, you can only be in a step-by-step invasion mode.
Since it can only be fought slowly, it can't completely make the Ou Kingdom feel hopeless, otherwise even if the Han army can finally destroy the Ou Kingdom, it will lose too much because of the desperate resistance of the Ou Kingdom, so it is necessary to send the Ou Kingdom envoy to Nanling.
"You say, is it possible for the king to accept the enlightenment of Pan?" Luo shook his eyes and looked at the mountains and rivers and was talking, and his fingers were also tapping on the table rhythmically when he spoke.
Wu Liang seemed stunned for a moment, and grinned: "Then it depends on the result of our invasion." β
But isn't it, if you can simply destroy the Ouluo Kingdom, do you still need the Ouluo Kingdom to take refuge if you don't know whether it is true or false? If it turns out that the Ouluo Kingdom is not so easy to destroy, or that the destruction of the Ouluo Kingdom requires heavy losses, then it is another story.
"I've heard that Wei and Korea have been discussing a topic recently," Luo Yan grinned, "and they were discussing the possibility of annexing to Han." β
The peaceful annexation of vassal states has occurred more than once in the past, and the most famous one is the peaceful annexation of the Song state by the Qi state. The state of Qi first subdued the state of Song, making the state of Song a vassal state of the state of Qi, and then the state of Qi controlled the diplomatic relations of the state of Song, and gradually infiltrated the court of the state of Song, during which the princess of the state of Song was always one of the concubines of the king of Qi, and finally the state of Song was annexed by the state of Qi in a very bloodless way.
Luo Shao didn't give any examples, but Wu Liang knew exactly what Luo Shao was talking about, which was nothing more than that even if Lu Zhe agreed to take refuge in Ou Luoguo, he would complete the annexation in some form. They were all convinced that their allegiance to the king was far stronger than anything else's desire to possess land.
The Han army did not stop advancing, and even if Kaimingpan knew that Gaotong had been escorted to Nanling, the capital of the Han State by the commander of the Han Army's Southern Expedition, he also knew that the time had come for the survival of the Ouluo State.
The Ouluo State is destined to not be able to confront the behemoth such as the Han State for a long time, and they are crazy to expand the army and mobilize elite soldiers with only one thought, that is, to promote peace with war, and only by letting the Han State understand that the Ouluo State is not so easy to destroy, the Ouluo State will have the possibility of continuing the national Zuo.
When Kaimingpan learned that the 5,000 forwards of the Han army had arrived within ten miles of the border, he gritted his teeth and sent what he thought was the most elite troops, that is, 3,000 war elephants, 300 charioteers, and 50,000 foot soldiers.
The terrain full of hills and terrain has also formed a charioteer? This fully shows that Ouluo is really a part of the Chinese system, because the pursuit of charioteers within the Chinese civilization system is an obsession, after all, what "the country of a thousand times" and "the country of ten thousand times" have long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. As long as he is a member of the Chinese civilization system, there is no one who does not develop charioteers, and only the Han State under the rule of Lu Zhe will appear to be maverick, and the premise of this "maverick" does not mean that Lu Zhe is not a "native" who was "born and raised"?
The vanguard of the Han army retreated when they found that an enemy army was approaching them, and they retreated without even making contact, which made Kai Mingpan stunned for a long time, and the generals and soldiers of the Ou Kingdom were also stunned and cheered.
"If it weren't for the necessity of it, a fool would use 5,000 men to engage an enemy army ten times more than himself in a field battle." Luo Shao, who had already explained in advance, said that sentence to Zhou Dang, who had returned, and then turned his head to the many generals and said: "As we expected, the Ouluo Kingdom will be an elite army as soon as it is dispatched, and there are three thousand big guys among them. So, is the equipment unit ready? β
Zhou Dang was the fool who dared to take 500 people to attack the hundreds of thousands of enemy camps at night, and he was now not only promoted to lieutenant but also a lord.
Chen Shao, who commanded the equipment troops, was also a lord at present, and his current position was a lowly general, and when he heard Luo Shao's question, he immediately saluted: "No! (To be continued......)
