Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms

King Wusun drank Sima Lang's glass of wine and set out on the road. There was nothing to say. The diplomacy of the Han Dynasty has always been hegemonic. It just didn't set its sights on the Western Regions before, but now it's this place. There are many things Everything has changed.

The three families of Dawan, Kangju and Wusun formed an alliance to protect themselves. However, after Sima Lang led a hundred riders to the king's city and asked the king three times, all three royal families were moved back to the Central Plains.

The gap between size and strength is there. If the Han Dynasty gave Jianxing wine and still didn't leave, then it would really have to be a farewell wine. Maybe at that time, I could bring a bowl to the Xiongnu under Jiuquan , there are steps that cannot be lowered, could it be that he really wants to die?

In the past, Dawan was able to support the Han Dynasty in Ershi City. In addition to Li Guangli's own food, there is also a very important point that the Huns are still alive and kicking. Most of the fighting power of the Han Dynasty is used to defend against the Huns. Now, The tombs of the Huns are a good place to raise cattle and sheep!

Therefore, when Kabeiqi and others came to the Western Regions, Wusun had already become history and was downgraded to a county state. Water conservancy facilities were being built, roads paved, and trees planted everywhere.

The forests in the Western Regions during the Eastern Han Dynasty were still lush. Although they were not as good as those in the Western Han Dynasty, basically all the small countries in the Western Regions still had large oases that could support their own people. Thousands of people are still fine.

Not counting the bonuses brought by his brother Sima Yi's usurpation of the country in later generations, Sima Lang himself is also one of the five famous ministers who governed places that have gone down in history. What's more, when he came to the Western Regions, Chen Xi told his brother that he should How to govern the Western Regions.

Conventional collection of villages and villages, promulgation of more suitable local laws, change of customs, Confucianism, Chen Xi doesn't need to tell Sima Lang at all, these things are better than Chen Xi's grasp, and Chen Xi talks to Sima Lang more about fixing sand , re-buying Karez Wells to reduce the loss of groundwater, suppress the process of desertification in the Western Regions, and build the Western Regions into a state that is close to the Central Plains as much as possible.

After all, the progress of desertification in the Western Regions has just begun in this era. A large number of oases and rivers have not disappeared, and there are still forests and lush aquatic plants. As long as the sand fixation is effective, there is still hope that the entrenched situation in future generations can be curbed from the source.

After all, the road to the west of the Han Dynasty has been opened, and the Western Regions will become a bridgehead anyway. After combining with Liangzhou, if the food and grass can be solved locally in the Western Regions, and the soldiers can be solved locally in Liangzhou, the pressure on the central government will be greatly increased. reduce.

Chen Xi is now really limited by the population, and it is impossible to continue to increase output. In the current situation, Chen Xi must either engage in power and find ways to promote the process of industrialization, or find ways to increase the population, or both. Grasp.

But the problem is that these two methods need a lot of time to accumulate, especially for industrialization. The first generation of power machines are not yet usable, so Chen Xi can only give full play to the limit advantages of manpower as much as possible, so that all regions of the Central Plains Play to the limit level, reduce the pressure on your side as much as possible, and make way for long-term planning.

Therefore, Chen Xi's positioning for Sima Lang is to do a good job in Xinzhou, bring the population to the peak level of Yuzhou, and be able to support foreign wars with the strength of a single state. Sima Lang can only roll his eyes at this. I am very good, but yours The requirements are not at all very powerful and can be completed in this category.

But these words can't be said, just listen to Chen Xi's command, isn't it just sand fixation? I, Sima Lang, really don't know much about sand fixation, but your request, Chen Xi, is still very simple, isn't it just planting trees? All the thieves and bandits in the Western Regions were arrested and arranged to plant trees.

In the past, the governors of various places, the county guards actually didn't pay much attention to the local bandits. Even when the politics was clear, as long as the disturbance was not too big, they would not take the initiative to govern, because many times the bandits were directly local people, and the farmers were busy. Serving the people, being a bandit during the slack season, just hunting wild food for nothing, the number of real professional bandits is very small, and it is of little significance to suppress bandits.

But since Chen Xi came to power, bandits? Can't solve it? Since the Taishan period, I have been catching bandits and bandits. I have been in charge of one place to fight against bandits in one place. From Qingzhou to Jizhou, and from Jizhou to Chang'an. I don’t believe it can’t be solved. Now that I am in charge of the world, all the bandits have been arrested. up.

It can be said that when the horse bandits and sand bandits in the Western Regions appeared, Sima Lang, who had been accustomed to the environment in the Central Plains over the years, immediately joined the army.

That's right, when the Thirty-Six Kingdoms were leveled, Sima Lang just took a hundred riders to have a good talk with the royal family of the Western Regions, but when he encountered bandits, Sima Lang drove the army up.

He was a horse bandit in the Western Regions, Sand Pirates. In the past few years, Li Jue was the captain of Wuji, and he was beaten like a dog when he was in the hegemony of the Western Regions. The horse bandits and sand bandits who had been killed for two years and did not dare to show their heads reappeared again. As a result...

The regular army suppressed the bandits, and they were flattened everywhere, and there was a wise man like Sima Lang planning behind them. All the local bandits were hammered to death, and now they all came to plant trees.

Therefore, after Kabeki and Aisote came to the Western Regions, what they saw was such a harmonious situation. The entire Western Regions was thriving under the governance of the Han Dynasty, and there was a scene of prosperity and development everywhere, and the people seemed quite happy. Wealthy, business exchanges are very frequent.

After entering here, because Aisote and others are Guishuang's official welcoming team, and there is a note sent by Cao Cao in advance, and Sima Lang has been Cao Cao's subordinate for a long time, so he came to greet this team in person.

During the period, Sima Lang was quite shocked by Beigui's combat effectiveness. Even if he knew the composition of the welcoming personnel sent by Beigui in advance, there was still a big gap between what he actually saw and the description on paper. Gang, Sima Lang also saw it for the first time.

This made Kabbage and the others very proud. After all, compared to the Han Dynasty vassal territories that he passed through when he went north from Kandahar, the performance here was like a normal person.

When Kabeiqi and others went north, they inevitably passed through the territory of several aristocratic families. As a result, those aristocratic families were all a waste of Guishuang. Is it better to be a middle and lower level commander with so many trained Qi Chenggangs forming a queue to welcome their relatives? Beigui can really make it, it's too wasteful!

Later, when he arrived at Congling, Li Jue received a large number of sour notices from aristocratic families in advance, and directly pulled out 80,000 cavalry to welcome him. Such a welcome in the lane is enough to make people frightened.

But after going through that struggle, Kabbage finally settled his mentality—he was indeed very powerful in Guishuang, and the people under his command were indeed elite, but the place they were going to was after all the center of the world—— Han Empire!

"Your Excellency Kabeqi, the welcoming envoy, this is the deputy envoy Aisote." Liu Xian introduced to Sima Lang with a smile, and Sima Lang also greeted them one by one, and then invited Kabeqi and Aisote to stay for a day , After a rest, they went on the road again, and the two did not refuse.

Not to mention before Congling, when you arrive in the Western Regions, it is truly the territory of the Han Dynasty. Even if it is a land of Xinna, you must follow the Han system. I am also happy to see the success of this, so I will naturally arrange the issue of board and lodging.

Although many aristocratic families who have established a country in Central Asia have raised objections to this, they said bitterly that the Cao family is really a dish, and they actually used such indecent methods, but Cao Cao said hehe! What's wrong with Xia Sanlan, marry a daughter, is there a problem with receiving a dowry? Isn't it because the dowry is relatively heavy, but so what? If it's sour, you can also try it.

In short, while Cao Cao was chatting with the Central Asian family, he sent invitations to these people, inviting them to the wedding of his own daughter, while the major families cursed and prepared gifts for Cao Cao's married daughter in displeasure.

After all, no matter how bitter they are, they still have to live with face, not to mention that the major families estimate that they will rely on the Cao family in a short period of time, not to mention that this marriage just happened to be passed by the deputy, and some things need the deputy to sit together Have a good conversation.

I was still thinking about how to organize this matter before, and the Yuan family organization took the lead in the past, but this year the Yuan family and Rome have not stopped, and they are still fighting. I heard that an ancient god was killed, and the two sides fought on and off, although It's not that they can't spare their hands, but it's obvious that the Yuan family doesn't want to organize this year.

As for other families taking the lead, I'm afraid it really won't work. Even if each family has an idea, it's hard to get it going. Whoever takes the lead is equivalent to whoever is in charge, but now even the families that are in a group have a feudal state, and everyone has their own ideas. No nobler than anyone else, why are you hosting!

When there is a boss, each family always wants to overthrow the Yuan family. We don’t need an elder brother who wants to be their father all day long. Whoever tells me that the elder brother is a father will be beaten to death. A brother is a brother. What are you talking about? Father, it turned out that the Yuan family couldn't make a move this year. The big families really felt that a snake without a head can't do it. Even if this head is a piece of rubbish, there really is one!

After all, it has been a year since they came out. With Chen Xi’s loan and the large amount of supplies they purchased, every family has now armed their troops. Regardless of their combat effectiveness, at least they look quite glamorous. question.

Of course, the economy of the feudal country established by the major families can be regarded as bad, and there is basically no hope for self-sufficiency.

As early as this year's summer grain came out, this group of people discovered this problem. If they could continue to buy grain, they would lose money, so they broke the jars, collected all the summer grain, and implemented a rationing system. Food, if you don't work, you will be killed directly.

It can be said that this group of aristocratic families really brought into full play the side of the imperial system that disregarded human life. Thanks to this group of people playing in Anxi, they did not dare to attack the people of the Han Dynasty, otherwise they would have been shot to death by Chen Xi. This approach is really, too much It's frenzied, but this almost unscrupulous approach has successfully pulled the various feudal states back from the death line.

The strong organizational power brought about by military control allowed the major families to forcibly maintain the operation of the country. Although the rest of the people under their command once again began to die in batches due to the arrival of winter, the political entity began to stabilize strangely.

To put it simply, the power established by this group of aristocratic families is actually more stable than the living area established by Ardashir.

At this point, for the major families, they only need to repeat what their ancestors did from the beginning of next spring, and forcefully use military organizational power to run the country. In less than five years, theirs will become a truly self-sufficient seal. country.

Of course, this step will kill a lot of feudal states, so the major families who have entered this cycle also need to exchange experiences with each other, and the marriage of Princess Qinghe is barely a reason.

Who made the elder brother who wanted to be a father all day long get into trouble and quit working this year.

Therefore, the major aristocratic families said bitterly that Cao Cao was really ashamed, and wrote back that they would definitely send someone there at that time. They must have a platform to communicate openly and honestly, and prepare for the next great cause.

These things were all placed on Chen Xi's table, but Chen Xi gave up after just a rough scan. He was caught by Liu Bei to ask about some things.

"Mr. Xuande, do you have any questions?" Chen Xi looked at Liu Bei who was hesitant to speak and said in a strange way. It's very strange. Is there anything he can't say in front of him?

"Ahem, I heard that Beigui's wedding team has already arrived in the Western Regions, and they can reach Chang'an within a month at most." Liu Bei coughed twice and changed the subject.

"Yes, it may not take a month. Their war horses are all full of internal energy, and they can be regarded as precious horses. If it wasn't for the above statement that they are going to Balikun Lake to pay homage to their ancestors, they might come even faster." Chen Xi He nodded and said, "And they are all practicing Qi Chenggang themselves."

"How should we arrange it then?" Liu Bei covered his face with tea, and Chen Xi had been with Liu Bei for so many years, so he might not know what Liu Bei meant.

"Is one month enough?" Chen Xi asked curiously.

"I don't know the language of the Da Yue Clan." Liu Bei sighed, without answering the time question. In one month, there are only 2,000 people, and I have known them in a few days.

"It's okay, we still have his heart-linking beads." Chen Xi looked aside and said, for Cao Cao, Chen Xi didn't mean to apologize at all, "After all, the princess is getting married, so choose an auspicious day, and the rest should be fine. .”

"Presumably the princess also wants to meet the warriors from Beigui." Liu Bei said softly, yes, Chen Xi understood in seconds. After meeting the princess regent, the Da Yue clan wanted to marry the princess and the Han family beat the Xiongnu. , this group of people will remember the princess for the rest of their lives, and when the time comes, just throw some chicken blood, Cao Cao's soldiers and horses? Under Cao Cao's command? Do you believe it?

"Okay." Chen Xi stroked his chin and said, "After all, it's a wedding ceremony, and I'm sure I'll meet the Eldest Princess. If I eat in the name of the Eldest Princess, it might have a miraculous effect."
