"Dong dong dong!"
The ground was shaking with the sound of horse hooves, the dust was rising, countless cavalry were whizzing by, and there were carts. Countless people were escorted out of Youzhou in groups, either actively or passively.
After the rise of the Yan State, its relationship with the Han Dynasty was very delicate. Every year, the Yan State would send envoys to pay tribute and offer special products from Liaodong.
Every time the imperial decree was issued, excuses would be found to shirk it.
Moreover, the Yan State also drove the native barbarians in Liaodong westward and southward in waves.
As a result, more and more barbarians entered Bingzhou and Youzhou, and they continued to spread westward.
How could the man who had always been invincible endure this?
As a result, the relationship between the two sides gradually became tense, and armed conflicts occurred one after another.
The relationship between the two sides was quite hostile, and it was certainly impossible for the imperial court to exile people to Liaodong.
Adhering to the principle that if the mountain doesn't follow me, I will follow the mountain.
So Yan State went south to Youzhou, starting from the border, and evacuated the population county by county. This was a real evacuation, and it was completely carried out as a national policy.
At first, ordinary people were panicked, but later they resigned themselves to fate.
In addition to being colder, Yan State was a new political power and it was also a small country. In terms of its level of integrity and organization, it was better than the current decadent Han Dynasty.
But for the officials in Youzhou and the ministers of the Han Dynasty, this was naturally a shame.
But now the Yan State moved from the north to the south of Liaodong, captured Liaodong, and occupied some counties in Youzhou. It is now a very stable country integrating nomadic herding and farming.
It is very expensive to conquer such a country, and it has been tried several times with very poor results.
The frequent natural disasters that broke out in the country made the ministers and the emperor stop thinking about temporarily fighting the founding of the Yan Kingdom.
This is not just about enduring. After the attack on the Xiongnu, the Han court never thought about enduring. Now the ministers and the emperor are thinking about recovering in the future and must raze the Yan country to the ground.
Among the countless running knights, a young general in armor ran under the banner and asked the heroic general in a hurry: "General, are we just going to leave like this? Civil strife is breaking out in the Han Dynasty now, and there is peace. The Tao has swept through Youzhou, and the Han Dynasty has insufficient troops. This is a good opportunity for us."
When the general was riding on his horse, he saw the young general's face was unfamiliar but had a hint of familiarity, and asked, "Are you a descendant of the He family?"
Hearing this, the young general clasped his fists and said loudly: "Back to the general, this young man is from the Murong family in Xuanmen County."
"Xuanmen Murong clan?!"
The general was very surprised.
The Murong family was not very common in Yan State.
At that time, the ancestors of the Yan Kingdom were exiled around the Daxianbei Mountains north of Liaodong, where a tribe of Hu people named "Xianbei" originally lived.
The ancestors of the Yan Kingdom were not only exiled, but also the Liu royal family and other powerful families were expelled from the genealogy, deprived of their surnames, and became lonely ghosts.
But how can a person not have a surname?
In ancient times, surnames were nothing more than official positions, land titles, and given surnames.
In the edict of exile, the emperor asked them to use the place of their surname as their surname, so that they and their descendants would always remember that they were descendants of exiled sinners.
Although it is humiliating, who dares to disobey the orders of the Han Emperor?
Under the blue sky of Han court several times, no one can do it!
This resulted in the Han people in the Yan Kingdom having many compound surnames, and there were many repeated surnames, and they even overlapped with those of the Xianbei people.
Although there are not many people in the Murong clan, there are many branches, including even Hanized Xianbei people.
However, the Murong family, who was born in Xuanmen County, should be of the lineage of exiled Taoist disciples. The surname was taken from "Mu Eryi's way, following the appearance of Sanguang". In Yan State, where surnames are generally named after official positions and places, it is considered Be unique.
The Murong clan of Xuanmen was a wealthy family in the Yan Kingdom, with a family tradition of Confucian classics. Most importantly, the Murong clan had medical skills. When they were first exiled to the Daxianbei Mountains, this medical skill saved countless lives. .
The young general was not surprised by the general's performance. He cupped his fists and said, "It's the Murong clan of Xuanmen!"
Knowing the identity of the young general, the general nodded slightly. He had a good relationship with the Murong family, so he said kindly: "The reason why we had to evacuate in time was precisely because there was civil strife in the Han court.
On the surface, it seems that the Han court is in chaos, which is an opportunity for us as Dayan, but in fact it is not the case. The strength of Hanting is far beyond what we, Dayan, can compare with.
Previously, he was only the emperor of the Han Dynasty. The emperor of Luoyang was worried about the power of his country, so he only tied his own hands and feet.
Now that the Han court has relaxed these restrictions, its military strength will usher in a major explosion. Our country, Dayan, is still too conspicuous in the territory of the Han court.
Moreover, our country, Dayan, is not stable internally. The Xianbei barbarians are rapidly growing in strength, and geniuses are emerging one after another. Both our country, Dayan, and the Han court have suffered many defeats in succession.
And you know that there is serious fighting in the country now, and you cannot support the army to start a war.
Now when we send this group of 100,000 people to Dayan, we will have more than one million people in Dayan. After integrating the people into households, we will concentrate on development for several years, and then stir up chaos and disputes in the Han court and consume the strength of the Han court.
As time goes by, when the heroes of the Han Dynasty are exhausted, they may not have the opportunity to return to their ancestral homeland and wash away the shame of the past. "
Young General Murong wanted to say something after hearing this, but the general stopped him directly.
Today's young people all grew up in the victory of Yan State over Han Ting, and they have some contempt for the behemoth Han Ting.
But the general knew how many outstanding people there were in the Han Dynasty, and knew that it was not as simple as imagined. When Chen Fan served as the shepherd of Youzhou, he united the heroes of Youzhou and Nanyan to defeat Northern Yan and make Northern Yan invincible. It came to a standstill.
In recent years, another group of generals have risen in Youzhou. The young people of the Gongsun family, the Liu family, and many heroes should not be underestimated.
These people may be nothing in the entire Han Dynasty, and a wealthy family with two thousand shi in the border county is just a bumpkin. But to the Yan State, the ten wealthy families in Luoyang combined are not as good as one wealthy family in the border county.
The Yan State was born out of hardships and hardships. In order to survive, it incorporated some customs of the Hu people, abandoned many inappropriate and cumbersome etiquette, paid attention to practice, and had abundant force. It had the appearance of the pioneering aristocracy of the early Zhou Dynasty in the past.
Only the wealthy families in the border counties can win their respect. Those boastful scholars in Luoyang are just the souls of their dead.
"No need to say more, look."
The general pointed towards the distance, and the young general looked around and saw a faint smoke and dust in an unknown distance. Ordinary people would not notice it at all. But after all, he was born into a famous family, and the elders in his family had taught him experience. He immediately exclaimed: "Enemy Attack!"
The general took his time and said calmly: "It's an enemy attack, and there are thousands of cavalry. Don't panic."
I saw him slowly pulling out the horse spear. He liked this weapon and shouted loudly: "Da Yanerlang, defend the enemy!
Those who kill will be rewarded with gold and silver! "
"promise!"
Everyone thundered in unison!
————
The military strength of the Eastern Han Dynasty gives people a strange feeling. It has an extremely strong military strength, excellent generals and high-quality soldiers, as well as social recognition of military achievements, but it often suffers external defeats.
After research, the author has judged that this is a typical mutual restraint between the central and local governments, and is an inevitable result of the system, that is, the monarch involuntarily doubts the local princes, and the local princes are afraid, which leads to adverse consequences.
These factors led to the rise of powerful enemies around the Eastern Han Dynasty and the gradual centrifugation of the Jisu region. ——"The Rise and Fall of the Han Dynasty"
