There are naturally no white black bears in the world. They are either white bears or black bears.
But Cui Ao had never heard of a white bear, so it could only be a black bear that turned white.
"What auspiciousness! What great auspiciousness!"
When Cui Ao saw the white black bear brought back by Yin Xian, he was immediately overjoyed.
In Cui Ao's eyes, this newly adult white bear was much more valuable than the captives he brought back and the surrendered barbarian chiefs.
"Your Majesty, the general has found the traces of the remnants of Goguryeo, but the soldiers and horses cannot encircle them, and they dare not act rashly, so they come back first..."
Before Yin Xian finished speaking, Cui Ao waved his hand to deal with him.
"The remnants of Goguryeo are all trivial matters. I will naturally increase your troops. Let me ask you, this white bear, oh no, where did this auspiciousness come from?" Cui Ao asked with a smile in his eyes.
When Yin Xian saw it, he was immediately overjoyed.
It seemed that he was right to bring this beast back regardless of the danger.
'Reporting to the envoy, this auspicious sign came from a group of barbarians from the north. '
"Which barbarian is it Fuyu? Or Sushen?"
"Your Majesty, it's none of these. It was obtained accidentally by a tribe of savages who wore fish skins and rode big deer in Sushen, thousands of miles further north. They also used it as a rarity and exchanged it with the Sushen people in the south for salt, barley, and wine. Come."
Cui Ao became even more happy when he heard the origin.
This kind of barbarian who traveled thousands of miles passed through many difficulties and obstacles and handed an auspicious sign into his hands. What is this?
This is the auspiciousness under the influence of heaven and man.
Only when a country has a wise ruler can it be auspicious.
Only when you have virtuous ministers can you be auspicious.
Cui Ao could already imagine how happy Long Yan would be after he sent this white bear to Luoyang.
By that time, I will definitely be favored by the Holy Family, and I will not be far away from being a general or a general.
However, this auspiciousness must be sent together with the good news of clearing out the remaining remnants of Goguryeo.
Cui Ao did not dare to delay, and immediately appointed Yin Xian as the forward commander, and sent additional troops to pursue and encircle the fleeing Goguryeo people.
Fuyu Sushen and other troops who had already seen the strength of the Han army had no reason to continue to follow the Goguryeo people. Facing these lost dogs, they naturally followed the Han army and gave them a beating.
In less than two months, almost all the remaining Goguryeo rebels who fled were captured and killed. The puppet king of Goguryeo, who had just taken office less than half a year ago, was also beheaded by the rebels.
Taking advantage of this good news, Cui Ao immediately ordered people to send the auspiciousness to Luoyang.
Also traveling with me was a parallel prose in praise of virtue written by Cui Ao overnight, which was nothing more than something about the reincarnation of Yao and Shun.
As a witness, Yin Xian was naturally sent to Luoyang to deliver good news to the emperor.
When they arrived in Luoyang, as soon as they entered the city, this white-haired black bear became the focus of everyone's attention.
Before Liu Yu saw this auspicious sign with his own eyes, he had already heard people talking about it.
His curiosity aroused, and when Liu Jian saw the auspiciousness Cui Ao boasted in the memorial, he couldn't help but be surprised.
"Isn't this a polar bear!?"
Liu Yu looked at the already weak Xiangrui in front of him and recognized him immediately.
"Your Majesty, does he know this thing?"
The civil servants and generals on the left and right gathered around and expressed surprise.
"This is a kind of bear that lives in the far north where there is ice and snow all year round. If you don't live three to five thousand miles away, you probably won't see it."
Liu Yu kept thinking as he spoke.
He was a little confused about how people like Cui Ao got this thing. The range of polar bears was thousands of miles away from Liaodong.
"Isn't it dyed white?"
Liu Yu suddenly had an idea. He got closer to the iron cage and took a closer look to confirm that it was not dyed white.
With the technology at this time, it was simply impossible to have a dye that could dye the hair roots white.
In the past, some barbarians offered white auspiciousness as tribute, but after being infected, there will no longer be such a white existence.
"It's actually true!"
Liu Yu turned to look at Cui Ao's general who came to pay tribute, and then asked.
"How did you get this white bear?"
Upon hearing the emperor's question, Yin Xian swallowed hard and then carefully explained the whole story.
The civil servants and generals in the palace all heard an interesting story, but Liu Yu was greatly touched when he heard this.
According to what the Han army general named Yin Xian said, the savage tribes who drove the big deer should be the primitive fishing and hunting tribes living north of the Waixing'an Mountains.
If these primitive tribes go further north, they may come into contact with polar bears.
The fact that these tribes can transport a white bear to the Sushen people's territory in the Blackwater area for trade shows that they have already communicated with each other.
It can even be said that these tribes knew that the Sushen people must like this kind of white bear, so they transported it here regardless of the hard work.
In this way, the tribes in the north and south of Blackwater are not as isolated as imagined.
Since there is communication between each other, there can be a basis for establishing rule.
"Yin Xian, let me ask you, have you seen the situation of those savage tribes with your own eyes, or have you heard from the Sushen people?"
"Reporting to your Majesty, half of what I just said was what I saw with my own eyes, and half was what Sushen himself described."
"What things have you seen with your own eyes?" Liu Yu asked.
"I once met the Yulu people in the Sushen tribe. They have similar customs to the Sushen Fuyu people and have similar looks. However, they don't know that they have writing, and they don't know that they have kings and ministers. They only know that they are tribal leaders, and they do not belong to each other. , the deer he drove were as tall as oxen, and when I returned to Liaodong, I took two of them back with me. Unfortunately, those big deer were intolerant of heat, and they fell ill with plague and died within a few days." Yin Xian said.
When Liu Yu heard this, he immediately felt that his idea was interesting.
These tribes have trade relations with each other, which means they have basic trust in each other.
If there is a treasure land between the white mountains and black waters, then the near-Arctic zone in the Outer Xing'an Mountains farther north is a golden land.
The gold mines there fed countless Tsarist Russian explorers and Cossacks in later generations.
"Yin Xian, if I ask you to lead an army and go to Sushen to establish the Protectorate, do you think you can do the job?"
When Yin Xian heard this, he was immediately stunned.
What an honor it is to establish the Protectorate. It marks that you will become a real feudal official.
The several military governors of the Han Dynasty are all located in the Western Region and Mobei, and none of them is a well-known strongman.
He Yin Xian was just a small military commander, but he was chosen by the emperor? of
