Chapter 385: Prelude
Thank you for the reward from your brother!
In fact, during the Three Kingdoms period of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the reason why there was no pressure to hang and beat the barbarians was entirely because of the martial style from the Spring and Autumn Period to the Western Jin Dynasty, and also because of the domineering and royal power ideas that had been hidden in the hearts of the Chinese Han people from the Spring and Autumn Period Qi Henggong.
For the Han people before the Western Jin Dynasty, the thirteen states under heaven, and even the barbarian lands outside are theoretically theirs, but those barbarian lands are not easy to cultivate, and the barbarians do not bloom, so they did not take it for themselves, but if possible, the Han people at that time did not mind to expand their territory once.
Therefore, before the Western Jin Dynasty, except for the Western Han Dynasty before the industry was suppressed and beaten because of the lack of national strength, most of the Han people took the initiative to attack the barbarians after that, and a little barbarians took the initiative to invade the Han land, and there was no comparison in later generations.
For the Han people at this time, it is very good that they did not attack the barbarians, and as barbarians, if they take the initiative to attack them, they do not know whether they are dead or alive, and they are looking for death.
Just like Cao Cao's expedition to Wuhuan in history, the reasons may be various, but Wuhuan is not afraid of death and is mixed into the melee of the Central Plains princes is the main reason, and Cao Pi's expedition to the Western Regions, not to mention, there is only one reason, that is, the Western Regions is the land of the Han people, obviously, Emperor Wei Wen at that time was forgotten, before Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Western Regions was not the traditional territory of the Han people.
As for Liu Bei, Sun Quan and others above history, they are almost the same idea, thinking that this place is the traditional sphere of influence of the Han people, then they will fight, as for the barbarians living above the place, that is, of course, to teach them etiquette, let them integrate into the Han culture, and become Han people, Nanzhong and Nanban, almost all of them were forcibly integrated into it in this way, which can be said to be one in the sky and one in the earth compared to later generations.
Even the Western Jin Dynasty, in the early days, pursued a strong policy for the barbarians, obedient, just live well, disobedient will die, just because the Western Jin Dynasty inherited a hundred years of melee, although there is a recovery, but generally speaking, it is still a world of great vitality.
In addition, the social consciousness of the Western Jin Dynasty was somewhat distorted, the wind of comparison was prevalent, and the idiot emperor and the Eight Kings Rebellion initiated by the Western Jin Dynasty clan for more than ten years finally brought down the Western Jin Dynasty, a unified dynasty, and collapsed. It is better to say that the Western Jin Dynasty perished in the hands of the barbarians, but it is better to say that they perished in their own hands.
After the southern crossing, due to the loss of the northern horse-producing land, coupled with the fact that the economic center and population center are in the north, the Eastern Jin Dynasty turned to attack, but then the Sui and Tang dynasties were together again, but the wind of Han martial arts prevailed again, and there was no pressure to hang and beat the barbarians, and they were also the identity of the Han emperor, became the khan of the barbarians, and the martial wind reached its peak during the Tang Dynasty, so there was, pacified the peninsula, defeated Japan, attacked dozens of countries in the Western Regions, and even the soldiers directly arrived in Central Asia, and the Central Asian hegemon of the Wild Night.
It's just that since the Song Dynasty, the literary style has prevailed, and the martial style has been suppressed to the extreme, but the status of the military is not as good as that of the Qin, Han, Sui and Tang dynasties, so even if the Song Dynasty at that time was the richest in the world, the weapons that came out of the factory, the steel produced every year was the first in the world, and the annual military expenditure was comparable to that of the fascists of later generations.
"Your Majesty is wise, according to the opinion of Wei Chen, in addition, we must beware of the three southern kingdoms playing the banner of avenging the Han Emperor, it is best that our dynasty can take the first step and push the time of the Han Emperor to the heads of the three southern kingdoms."
Xun Yu's voice made Cao Cao's mind that didn't know where to fly back to the present, thinking of the current situation, Cao Cao's spirit was uplifted, at least with him, whether the Western Jin Dynasty could appear or not, and if the Western Jin Dynasty did not appear, whether the historical development of later generations would still be the same, it was even more difficult to say.
After thinking carefully about Xun Yu's construction, Cao Cao shook his head and said: "Don't want it for the time being, the sudden death of the Han Emperor was originally circulated among the people, and when I called the emperor to worship the sky, I had already said it once, and it would be a bit of a thief, and besides, it was easy to make Sun Jian and them, the dog jumped off the wall in a hurry, they were not prepared, and the same is true for my Great Wei." β
It is not bad to put the cause of Emperor Han Xian's death above the Three Southern Kingdoms, but it depends on what time it is placed, at least in Cao Cao's opinion, now is not a suitable time.
First of all, the first point, about the reason for the sudden death of the Son of Heaven, when sacrificing to the sky, Cao Cao had already said it intentionally or unintentionally, besides, it seems that there are no three hundred taels of silver here, and the second and most important point is that Cao Cao is afraid that Sun Jian and their dogs will jump off the wall in a hurry. You know, the reason why the war hasn't broken out until now is not because all of them have been cultivating and recuperating, but because they haven't prepared yet, and when they are all ready, the war that broke out is definitely the biggest one.
Sun Jian and they were not prepared, and so was Cao Cao, and in contrast, the huge Wei State, compared with the Three Southern Kingdoms, needed more time, because every day passed, the Wei State had more war preparations, and its strength was also stronger, and in this case, Cao Cao certainly did not want to stimulate Sun Jian and others to start a war in advance.
This truth, after Xun Yu thought about it, he also understood, after a confession, he retreated, at this time, there is nothing to discuss, for Wei, the development of the next period of time still has an eyebrow, that is, to prepare with all his strength, at this time, if there is anyone who thinks that the war will not break out, then there are only people who are still daydreaming.
"Zhongde, you stay on the public stage, and the others should step back for the time being."
"Wait for the resignation!"
After the civil and military salutes, they retreated one after another, leaving Chen Gong and Cheng Yu alone, what Cao Cao said when he left them, no one knows, what they can know is that from today onwards, the two of them have become more low-key, and at the same time, Cheng DΓΉ has also followed the implementation of Cao Cao's orders, as for the reason, no one can figure it out.
Just when the capital of Wei was setting the direction of the development of Wei for a period of time in the future, Cao Bao, who was resting at home in Xuzhou City on the other side, was in his secret room, greeting a person he should not have greeted. (To be continued.) )
