Chapter 489: The Siyi Family
"The barbarians and Di are also human beings, and their feelings are no different from those of Zhongxia. If the people have virtues and virtues, they will not be suspicious of other people. If they are equipped with virtues and virtues, the four barbarians will be like one family." ---------- Tang Taizong Li Shimin
It is said that Huyan Yuanhai rode Liu Bao's war horse and rushed left and right on the battlefield. Chen Long could not be found. Suddenly, he saw a Qinglong young general with a maroon horse on his crotch and a bright silver gun in his hand. He showed off his martial arts skills with every move. In the chaos of the army, it's like being in a deserted place. Yuan Hai swung his sledgehammer and ran straight towards him like a horse flying. With one hammer blow, Liao Hua was knocked several feet away and fell to the ground unconscious.
Hu Yanyuanhai raised the hammer and hit it, and Liao Yuanjian's head was about to splatter with red and white. Suddenly, a fast horse stood out from the morning mist next to him. The horse's speed was like wind, rain, thunder and lightning. In an instant, it arrived in front of Huyan Yuanhai's horse, and hit Huyan Yuanhai with a shot. The oil rolling hammer in the left hand.
An extremely dazzling silver arc of light immediately lit up in the darkness. The arc of light was like the rising sun, illuminating the entire area of 100 feet. Then there was a crackling sound in the air, and Huyan Yuanhai flew backwards with both men and horses. The two giant hammers then flew into the air, and the foggy air was immediately filled with the smell of burning.
Liu Bao had already snatched a war horse and followed his son. He witnessed his son's giant bear-like figure being wrapped in silver light. A black skeleton appeared in the silver light. It seemed that his son had been blown into black meat steaks by the silver light. . After the explosion, the silver light finally fell. Liu Bao opened his eyes as if he were blind. When his vision recovered, he saw a man as powerful as a god, with big black and white eyes staring at him. The steel gun in his hand was pressed against Huyan Yuanhai's chest, as if he was waiting. The person who expressed his attitude was none other than Chen Long, the Lord of the Blue Dragon who had just disappeared.
Liu Bao liked this son the most, and was shocked by the vision just now. Seeing that he didn't know whether his son was alive or dead, his will finally collapsed. He fell off the horse with a thud, and the steel knife in his hand flew far away. After a while, he slowly got up and crawled several feet away. Finally, he knelt in front of Chen Long and said: "The general is a true god. I have offended the gods in this mortal world, and I deserve this retribution today. I beg the general to show mercy and return it to me." My son's body, if you don't agree, I am willing to die with my son in the same cave." His voice was sad and low, and his expression seemed to be several years older, which actually made people feel pitiful.
When Chen Long heard the cry, he suddenly thought of his beloved wife Cai Yan. After all, Liu Bao treated Cai Yan quite well. He couldn't help but feel soft in his heart and quickly withdrew the steel gun. Liu Bao hurriedly knelt and crawled in front of Hu Yanyuanhai. Seeing that his son's face was burnt and his mouth was foaming. He didn't know what kind of magic had been cast on him. He quickly pressed his chest and felt that his heart was still beating. He raised his head and said: "General, here you go. My son is rude and offends the power of the tiger. He should be dead. However, God has the virtue of good life. If the general has mercy, please use immortal magic to save my son's life. If the general does not think that the Huns are vulgar, I am willing to be the general. Hold the whip and drop the stirrup to repay the general's kindness." Chen Long was moved when he heard this. If he could subdue Liu Bao's Huns cavalry and make him join the Han Dynasty, he would lose one of his Hus in the future.
The Tang Dynasty's border policies in later generations were undoubtedly the most successful among all dynasties. Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, advocated treating ethnic minorities equally. Be suspicious of others. If you use De Zecha, the barbarians can be treated as one family." Later, the powerful Lord of Tibet, Songtsen Gampo, married Princess Wencheng, creating a good story. During the prosperous Tang Dynasty, tribal peoples in border areas were brought into China's political orbit to a certain extent through a complex system of contracts and agreements. Through this system, they were incorporated into a system of indirect rule. Under the Tang government's "jisi" system, their chiefs were given titles, titles, ranks and salaries to rule their people according to national customs.
This hierarchical system that gives them Chinese titles is a formal recognition of the tribal organizational structure using the Chinese official system. It can continue stably, and it is also a vested interest for both the tribal chiefs and the Tang government. These tribal chiefs were also given new titles from time to time, and received gifts and money to ensure their continued loyalty. Everyone felt the equality that Tang Taizong said.
Chinese historians have traditionally often described the Xiongnu, Khitan, Jurchen, and Mongols as "outsiders" who intruded into Chinese territory. However, this is really a wrong understanding. There has never been a continuous defense line or demarcated border in northern China. Instead, there is a string of fortified border states and counties, a small number of fortresses in strategic locations, some farmland, Military horse farms, beacon towers and guard posts are scattered throughout. This is a defense system in depth, the backbone of which is composed of powerful vassal armies in Bingzhou, Youzhou, Jizhou, Jincheng, Tianshui, Zhangye and other places. In the final analysis, if we want to fundamentally solve the problem, we still need to solve the problem of famine and dependence on the weather in the border areas, so that the powerful nomads will no longer always want to go deep into the Central Plains to plunder.
These principles are a long story, but they only occurred to Chen Long for a moment at the time. Chen Long's brain was full of historical knowledge, and he had already made a decision in a blink of an eye. The spear waved a silver wheel, and Chen Long proudly said to Liu Bao: "The purpose of taking your heads is just to retrieve the ears. The silver light immortal skill just now is called "Electric Light Stone Fire", but it is the last skill of my immortal master. If I had used my special skills, Yuan Hai would have turned into ashes long ago."
Liu Bao had just seen the "Electric Lightning" stunt with his own eyes and was already frightened. Hearing that it was Chen Long's ultimate skill, Liu Bao couldn't help but take a breath and nodded. Chen Long continued: "Yuan Hai's injury is quite serious. If you want to save him, you have to leave him with me. I will keep him by my side for treatment and recuperation. Maybe there will be a chance to get better in three to five years." When Liu Bao heard that he was rescued, he couldn't help but be happy. He kowtowed to the ground and was convinced.
Chen Long's expression changed, his thick eyebrows furrowed and he said: "However, you are the leader of the Xiongnu, after all, you are different from Hua Yi. If I let you go back today, it is inevitable that you will invade the territory again with cavalry." Liu Bao quickly shook his head and said, "No That's not true. General Shen doesn't know something. Our Xiongnu clan has long been swept out of the Yinshan Mountains by the Xianbei people. We were torn into pieces and made homeless. Don't you hear that my name is no longer the Xian King of the Xiongnu Zuo, but the Commander of the Zuobu? If the Lord of Qinglong allows it, I, the Huns cavalry, are willing to guard the border for the Qinglong Army."
Chen Long nodded and said: "No wonder you are hanging out with Li Jue, Guo Bang and other Xiliang cavalry. Let me ask you, why don't you see Li Ru?"
Liu Bao was slightly startled and said: "Just now, my Huns cavalry came to meet the enemy in accordance with the order of Commander Li Ru. I don't know where he is in this chaotic army."
Chen Long pondered for a moment and said: "In that case, I believe what you say. You immediately restrain your cavalry troops and take them away from the battlefield to the south of Xue Palace. At noon tomorrow, I will send someone to receive your cavalry troops."
Liu Bao was overjoyed when he heard this. It is said that today is different from the past. If the Huns soldiers can find a big backer like the Qinglong Army, why should they fear the Xianbei cavalry pressing forward step by step? Why bother hanging out in the Gobi desert with the Xiliang cavalry? Liu Bao gritted his teeth and kowtowed heavily, and said: "My son Yuan Hai's life will be entrusted to General Shen." After saying that, he stopped looking at Yuan Hai, turned around, mounted his horse with his sword, and speeded up into the morning mist to restrain him. Everyone is here. From then on, Yuan Hai was recovering from his injuries in Chang'an. Later, Liu Bao came to have a son named Liu Yuan, whose nickname was also Yuan Hai. It was Liu Bao and Hu Yan who came here to commemorate their eldest brother Hu Yan Yuan Hai. Later, after the Eight Kings Rebellion in the official history, Liu Yuan became a generation of emperors, which is not mentioned later.
Chen Long looked at the gradually whitening sky, filled with emotion in his heart, and silently stuffed the electric shock rod back into his underwear pocket. Without the powerful electric shock rod developed by Director Qi Jin, I would have died three times in the Three Kingdoms where heroes abound. At this time, the war was coming to an end, the Northwest Army had completely collapsed, Li Jue, Guo Si, and Li Ru were all missing, and the Huns cavalry had withdrawn from the battlefield. The fighting became sporadic, and corpses lay everywhere in the countryside. The sounds gradually faded away. Perhaps Huang Gai and others were chasing the deserters.
Chen Long dismounted from his horse to check on Liao Hua's injuries. Suddenly he heard the sound of hoofbeats. Chen Long turned his head to look, but he recognized the young man Zhong Hui coming on horseback, followed by a group of infantry. Chen Long said happily: "Shiji! Why are you here? Let them rescue General Liao and this Huyan Yuanhai and return to the city quickly." Zhong Hui was happy to see that his lord was fine, but it was difficult to talk on the battlefield and he was busy obeying orders. Save people.
The group of people rode back to the city. Seeing the east gate in sight, Chen Long suddenly reined in his horse and stared blankly at the road ahead. At this time, it was getting dark. Zhong Hui was slightly startled as he followed behind him. He followed Chen Long's eyes and saw a figure staggering on the official road to the south of the east gate. His body was covered in blood, and it seemed that there was no trace of blood. His arms looked like he would fall to the ground and die at any moment. Zhong Hui took a closer look, but he recognized him since he was a child. He couldn't help but blurt out: "Wang Fang?!"
If you want to know what happens next, listen to the explanation next time.
