Chapter 553: Obligated
The country's life and death depend on profit, why should we avoid it due to misfortunes and fortunes? -------- Qing Dynasty. Lin Zexu's "Going to the garrison and telling family members at the entrance to the journey"
It is said that Chen Long was following Marshal Yueji, and a shocking conspiracy was revealed. Chen Long had no choice but to take action and hijacked Marshal Yueji halfway. After Erhe Shaoge and others were rescued, the struggle between the Northern and Southern Qiang kings was another long-standing history within the Qiang people, also full of blood and tears.
The Qiang people have a long history. The Qiang society and its cultural relics existed in ancient times. After the Shang Dynasty, the Qiang and Zhou alliance marriage period, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States period, and the Qin and Han Dynasties, numerous Qiang tribes formed their own affiliated relationships with dynasties and forces in the Central Plains. The connections between them are intertwined, and generally form a situation of confrontation between the northern and southern Qiang forces.
During the Warring States Period, the Qin Dynasty destroyed Yiqu, a war that represented the expansion of Central Plains forces to the northwest. The Yiqu people were a nomadic people in the northwest at that time, and were a relatively powerful group among the Xirong in the middle of the Warring States Period. Before Qin Xiaogong, Yiqu rebelled and surrendered. King Qin Huiwen planned to destroy Yiqu to expand his northwest territory. In 331 BC, civil strife broke out in Yiqurong, and Qin sent the concubine Chang Cao to lead the army. After six years of arduous war, King Yiqu finally surrendered and surrendered to Qin, and Qin immediately established a county here. In 318 BC, the five eastern kingdoms jointly attacked Qin, and Yiqu also attacked Qin from behind, forcing Qin to divide its troops to deal with Yiqu. In 314 BC, Qin launched a massive attack on Yiqu. Although it conquered twenty-five cities, Yiqu still became a hidden danger in the west of the Qin Dynasty due to the vast Gobi desert.
In 306 BC, King Zhao of Qin was established as king. Because he was still young, his mother, Queen Mother Xuan, was regent. She changed her strategy of directly conquering the Rong Kingdom in Yiqu and adopted a policy of softness, co-optation, and corruption in order to defeat the ambition of the Rong King. She wrote to King Yiqu to let him live in Ganquan Palace for a long time and entertain him with a generous life.
Later, King Yiqu married the Queen Mother Xuan and had two sons, which made King Yiqu completely lose his vigilance towards Qin. Thirty-four years later (the 43rd year of King Nan of Zhou, 272 BC), Queen Mother Xuan killed King Yiqu in Ganquan Palace, and then sent troops to attack Yiqu. The country of Yiqu was destroyed and the territory was merged into the Qin State. . After the fall of Yiqu State, Qin established the three counties of Longxi, Beidi and Shangjun, and gradually transformed it into the Central Plains and became part of the Chinese nation.
The Yiqu Kingdom is the most representative branch of the Qiang Rong. After being destroyed by the Qin Dynasty, the Qiang warriors became vassals of the Central Plains Dynasty. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the two hegemons of Xiliang, Ma Teng and Han Sui, each had a large number of Qiang troops. After the two formally broke up, the Southern Qiang King Midang Dawang defected to Ma Teng, while the Northern Qiang King Cheliji defected to Han Sui, and the Qiang people became more unified. to split.
The leader of the Baima Qiang, Erhe Shaoge, the leader of the Qingyi Qiang, Fatong, and the leader of the Yuesi Qiang, Mo Zheze, and others were all capable officers under King Midang of the Southern Qiang. However, the most famous one under Cheliji, the king of the Northern Qiang, was Yi Wen. Yiwu. The person who wrote the martial arts was Marshal Yueji, the leader of the Shenlang Qiang, but the one who wrote the martial arts was Prime Minister Yadan.
Yadan was born into a Qiang noble family. Under the influence of his father, he received Confucian education since childhood and deeply admired the Central Plains culture. He followed Ma Rong's thirteenth disciple Lu Zhi to study in the Central Plains. Later, he also followed Dong Zhuo's think tank into the political centers of Luoyang and Chang'an. After Dong Zhuo was separated, Li Ru fled overnight, and the think tank was scattered. Yadan also disguised himself as a foreign businessman and returned to Jincheng County via Tianshui. Later, he met Cheliji, the king of the Northern Qiang, and became the number one think tank. Because he admired the culture of the Central Plains and proclaimed himself the position of prime minister, he was definitely an outlier in the martial arts of Xiliang, but with his wisdom and flexible mind, he had unparalleled authority in the Northern Qiang region.
There are wise men in the world regardless of race and color, and Yadan's in-depth understanding of the culture of the Central Plains also shaped his ambition. Everything that happened before the Hundred Tribes Conference was overtly or covertly influenced by Yadan, and behind Yadan was Han Sui, the current lord of Xiliang.
Eliminating dissidents and consolidating their rule are tasks that every local hegemon must do. The sense of urgency and oppression of either you or me is even more suffocating than fighting for hegemony.
In the struggle to wipe out the remaining forces of Ma Teng and Ma Chao, Han Sui would always rather kill the wrong person than let him go, or he was very suspicious. Prime Minister Yadan took advantage of Han Sui's mentality and intended to take advantage of the Hundred Tribes Conference to wipe out the power of the Southern Qiang King Mi Dang in one fell swoop, unify the Qiang forces, and re-establish the grandeur of the Yiqu Kingdom. Once successful, the new unified Qiang multi-ethnic Yiqu State will quickly invade important prefectures, counties and cities such as Yizhou, Hanzhong, Jiangling and make all preparations for a direct attack on Chang'an and Luoyang.
If Chen Long knew Yadan's ambition at this moment, he would definitely sigh that Yadan has such a grand blueprint. It turns out that behind the many chaotic preludes in this time travel history, there is the support of such an ambitious figure. The battle for hegemony among the Central Plains forces has given the foreign forces the best opportunity. Various ambitious figures are already ready to take action. If the Qinglong Army cannot be unified quickly, it will inevitably be invaded by foreign nations during the war. This is what Chen Long least wants to see. ending. Chen Long is absolutely bound to devote himself to resisting foreign invasion, preventing the tragedy of the fall of the Chinese nation from happening again, and making Chinese culture everlasting.
After hearing about the bloody battle between the Northern and Southern Qiang kings, Chen Long decided in his heart that he must help Erhe Shaoge fight to the end, gain the greatest support from the Southern Qiang king Midang, and distract Han Sui, at least until he can switch to another battle. On that day in Xiliang, I thought for a while and asked: "Brothers Erhe Shaoge, Han Sui hasn't broken up with you yet, has he?"
Ohe Shaoge said: "There must be no such thing, otherwise we wouldn't be able to get here."
Chen Long nodded and said: "It seems that Han Sui will not let anyone touch you. The more you appear in public, the safer you will be. From now on, you only need to guard against Marshal Yue Ji's people from doing evil things. Baizu Will King Midang and King Cheriji appear at the conference?"
Erhe Shaoge shook his head and said: "King Midang is in charge of Yuexi and will not come easily. However, it is unknown whether Cheriji followed Hande's 80,000 Qiang army to Tianshui."
This was the first time Chen Long heard of Han De's name. Naturally, Guang's mind went through some more research. He found out that all the five tiger generals of Han De's family were killed by Zhao Yun's guns. He felt a sense of absurdity in his heart, and he felt the pressure on Chang'an doubled. Qidao said: "It turns out that there are 80,000 Qiang soldiers stationed in Tianshui. It seems that this Hundred Tribes Conference is not simple. If you are not careful, it will be disaster. What are the rules for participating in the Hundred Tribes Naadam Conference?"
When Erhe Shaoge was about to explain, the men responsible for guarding Marshal Yueji suddenly came to report: "General Shaoge, Yueji has woken up. Do you want to interrogate him immediately?"
If you want to know what happens next, listen to the explanation next time.
