Three Kingdoms

Outside Yangping Pass, the army was meandering. This time Fei sneaked into Hanzhong with only 4,500 soldiers. Later, more than 1,000 soldiers came from Guanzhong, and now Li Ru and Huang Cheng were left with 1,500 soldiers each. In addition to people, when leaving Yangping Pass, the number of troops led by Fei Qian not only did not decrease, but actually increased.

It's just that these increased numbers are not elites, or even regular soldiers. Most of them are civilian warriors or laborers. These people are responsible for transporting a large amount of equipment and materials, loading them on more than 200 baggage trucks, and dragging the entire queue. 's very long.

"Wen You has something to say, you might as well say it directly..."

Fei Qian sat on the horse, swaying, looking at the queue heading northwest, said to Li Ru, and then nodded towards Huang Cheng.

Huang Cheng understood, raised his hand towards Fei Qian, then pulled the reins, stopped, and kept a certain distance away from Fei Qian and Li Ru.

Huang Cheng looks simple and honest, but in fact he is very smart. Fei Qian doesn't need to say anything in particular, and he has a certain amount of space. Anyway, Huang Cheng is half a member of the family, and everything that needs to be explained has been explained, so there is no need to go into too much detail. Opening up a trade route to Hanzhong depends partly on manpower and partly on God.

After all, the most convenient way to get from Shangyong to Jingxiang is by water. However, the current shipping technology in the Han Dynasty was still in its infancy, so take your time...

As the administrative framework of Hanzhong was gradually established and improved, it became less meaningful for Fei Qian to continue to guard Hanzhong, so he moved his troops back to Guanzhong. After all, only Fei Qian left with his soldiers, and people in Sichuan and Shu were on tenterhooks. Only these guys would be relieved, otherwise everyone would stare at Fei Qian's shining tricolor flag and not dare to move.

Although Feiqian showed goodwill and Brazil County also responded, it was only the beginning after all. The trust and mutual cooperation between the two parties still need a certain amount of time to run in. Everything about Sichuan and Shu has just begun.

Just now in front of Yangping Pass, the other officials who stayed in Hanzhong were there. Li Ru had some things to say that were not easy to say, so Li Ru insisted on sending Fei Qian off for a while. Fei Qian knew that Li Ru must still have something to say. .

"General..." Li Ru pondered for a while and then said slowly, "There are many people involved in the Guanzhong area... If it succeeds, it will be the center of hegemony. If there is chaos... Therefore, we should slow down and never act too hastily... Left Mr. Feng Yi and Xu, in my opinion, can postpone the disposal..."

After saying that, Li Ru turned to look at Fei Qian, with some expectation and worry in his eyes.

Fei Qian is the most thoughtful and courageous person Li Ru has ever seen. He even has many ideas. Li Ru has never thought that maybe when Jia Xu persuaded him to come out again, he still had some ideas in his heart. It’s optional, but after communicating and communicating with each other for a period of time, Li Ruzhen hoped that Fei Qian could go further and see if what Fei Qian described could be realized in the future.

The prerequisite for these is that Feiqian must not only maintain its current foundation, but also continuously strengthen itself and accumulate strength...

But Fei Qian is so young.

Because you are young, you have dreams, but because you are young, you are easy to be impulsive. Li Ru has seen too many young people gain a certain status and power and then quickly fall...

Although there are some reasons for this or other, being young and not calm when things happen is one of the most common factors, which leads to repeated mistakes in actions and ultimately catastrophe.

Although Fei Qian is more stable than others of his age, Li Ru is still a little worried, so he specially emphasized that he is worried that Fei Qian will be angered by these clowns and do something impulsive.

After all, now, considering the overall situation, Guanzhong needs stability more.

"This..." Fei Qian thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "I understand Wenyou's meaning... That's it. If Sichuan and Sichuan are in doubt, I will protect the country from chaos! Mr. Xu, haha, be tolerant It doesn’t hurt to take a while…”

The same rice can support hundreds of people. The larger the territory, the larger the forest, and the more birds there will be.

Yes, something happened to Zuo Fengyi, but it was not a big deal.

Xu Shu's implementation of the title land system and new taxes on land in Zuo Fengyi naturally touched the interests of some large local households, and among them was the Xu family of Zuo Fengyi, who were dissatisfied, criticized, and disturbed...

Because this year's Autumn Festival has not yet come, these people from Zuo Fengyi are just talking and saying that they want to fight. As for whether they have taken any action, they have basically not taken any action yet. It's just like the later community property management plans to change the originally free parking lot to a paid one and post the relevant charging standards and systems. These owners who were used to free Guanzhong Zuofengyi will naturally gather to protest. But the problem is that the Feiqian property has not yet officially collected money, so the intensity of the struggle cannot be very high.

So what should Fei Qian do now?

Gather a group of people and kill the whole family of Zuo Fengyi's owners in one go?

Fei Qian understood what Li Ru meant. What Li Ru was worried about was not the owners of Zuo Fengyi, nor the life and death of these guys, but the overall layout.

Fei Qian's current territory has Pingyang Yinshan in the north and Hanzhong in the south. Guanzhong is connected with each other in the middle. Only in this way can the area be regarded as a whole. If Guanzhong is in chaos, Pingyang and Hanzhong will become two separate enclaves invisibly. , no matter from which perspective, it will have a great negative impact on future development, and even have some chain reactions.

Zuo Fengyi used to be just a protrusion of Feiqian's territory, but now it has become a hinterland. Therefore, at this stage, Hanzhong can be chaotic, and chaos can only fish in troubled waters, but Guanzhong cannot be chaotic, it can only be Wen, after the political structure is stabilized. , and then go back and deal with these idiots.

Seeing Fei Qian's mastery, Li Ru also breathed a sigh of relief. After pondering for a moment, he still said: "In the general town of Chang'an, there must be a big family to present singers and dancers..."

"Wen You is worried that someone is addicted to women?" Fei Qian laughed and said.

"No," Li Ru said sternly, "If you can't break this barrier, how can you become a hero? I just feel that the general has no heirs, so he might as well choose the good ones and adopt them and spread his branches..."

"This..." Fei Qian didn't expect Li Ru to say this. He was stunned for a moment, and then said with a little embarrassment, "I know about this..."

When Li Ru saw this, he did not continue the topic. Instead, he took out a brochure bag from his leather robe, presented it to Fei Qian, and then said: "General, if you want to stabilize the pass, you have two strategies to put in this bag... …”

Tips?

When will Li Ru do this?

Fei Qian touched the kit and found that it was hard. There seemed to be two hard objects inside. He took out one piece, but it was a wooden sign. It looked familiar...

Isn't this the wooden sign on the immigration policy that Fei Qian gave to Li Ru to propose a plan?

Why does Li Ru still keep it?

"This thing is just in time..." Li Ru said with a teasing smile, "If I hadn't experienced it personally, I wouldn't have thought that the general was a prophet with far-reaching plans..."

"Aha, this..."

"There is no need to delay the journey of the army... The other thing I have in my bag is for the general to entertain himself on the way..." Li Ru dismounted, stood respectfully on one side, and bowed deeply, "I respectfully send you to General Zhengxi..."

Huang Cheng on the side also dismounted and half-knelt on the ground.

Fei Qian quickly got off his horse, helped the two of them up, and then parted without saying anything else.

This time back to Hanzhong, Fei Qian detoured to Qishan and took Longyou back to Guanzhong. On the one hand, the Tangluo Road is too difficult to climb, and Fei Qian really doesn’t want to climb it a second time. The Baoxie Road is also under repair and has not been completely repaired. The same is true for the Ziwu Road, and he has to carry some supplies back to Guanzhong. , so in comparison, although taking the Longyou route is longer, it is much flatter and more convenient. Feiqian is not in a hurry, so he naturally chooses the easier route.

In addition, Qishan Mountain is more or less a scenic spot. If you have a rare opportunity to go here, you have to visit it, right?

Perhaps after climbing the Tangluo Road, Fei Qian now felt that the current road was extremely smooth. In addition, Xu Huang was leading the soldiers, so Fei Qian didn't need to worry too much, so he thought about the tips given by Li Ru. .

The first wooden sign? Li Ru's meaning can be summed up in one word "people".

But it sounds simple, but in fact it is not simple.

Just like Fei Qian left the subject of Hanzhong to Li Ru, Li Ru also left the subject of Guanzhong to Fei Qian...

Li Ru still only calls himself General...

Both of them are still in the inspection period...

Fei Qian couldn't help but smile to himself.

Li Ru is like this, isn't Fei Qian the same?

Why was Li Ru transferred to Hanzhong? On the one hand, it was indeed Li Ru who was suitable. On the other hand, it was nothing more than transferring Li Ru away, which would give Fei Qian some time to organize and control the troops brought by Li Ru.

It's just that Fei Qian really didn't expect that this wooden sign would come back to his hand after going round and round.

Fei Qian stroked the wooden sign and couldn't help but feel a little sentimental in his heart.

Li Ru's suggestion is indeed very good.

First, capture the people, which is the original function of this wooden sign, to stabilize the people's hearts, comfort the refugees, promote production, and stabilize Guanzhong. The current situation is somewhat similar to when the capital was moved, with refugees everywhere. However, at that time, the majority of refugees were from Heluo, but now they are mostly from Guanzhong. Therefore, Li Ru did not handle the problem well at that time, and now it has been returned to Fei. Diving hands.

After all, transporting grain and grass from Hanzhong to Guanzhong is not a long-term solution. All grain depends on imports. This situation is extremely unstable whether it is the Han Dynasty or later generations. Therefore, it is the most important thing at the moment to restore self-production and self-sufficiency in the Guanzhong area as soon as possible. important things.

but……

Li Ru returned the wooden sign. Does it mean something?

Fei Qian sat swaying on his horse. He couldn't think of a reason for a while, so he simply stopped thinking about it, put the wooden sign back into the brocade bag, and took out another sign from the brocade bag.

This sign is a bit heavy. Most of it should be copper, but it is also mixed with some other metals. As a result, the whole wooden sign is not only heavy, but also has no patina. In the middle of the sign, there is only a simple The single small seal character is "Qin".

Other than that, there is nothing special.

"Qin?"

Fei Qian murmured again, a little confused.

When I see the word "Qin", I naturally think of the Qin Dynasty immediately. This is a magical word. This is a magical dynasty. It can always inadvertently evoke the strongest feelings of the Chinese people, remembering, Anger, admiration, and awe will all flow together, and then finally dissolve into a soft sigh.

As the first centralized dynasty to adopt the county system, it has been imitated and never surpassed throughout China's feudal society period.

Although later dynasties changed prefectures and counties into prefectures, or some roads or roads, in fact they still changed the soup without changing the medicine, and there was no breakthrough progress. The political structure of the large feudal class did not have much novelty. The change. Such a western vassal state, which was still inconspicuous in the early Eastern Zhou Dynasty, has determined the direction of China's political structure for thousands of years, which has to be lamented.

The system of prefectures and counties in the Qin Dynasty can be said to be one step ahead. Look at the current Han Dynasty, and even the Tang, Song, Yuan and Ming dynasties, as well as the Qing Dynasty, which was advocated by many scholars in later generations, still adopt the skeleton structure of prefectures and counties. At most, there are some other plug-in systems attached to it.

It was this advanced step that caused constant disputes in various places at the end of Qin and the beginning of Han Dynasty. The old aristocrats were making trouble, and the great father must have a naughty law of antimatter cause and effect. The Qin Dynasty was ultimately unable to survive...

The Qin people who have been in war have become accustomed to non-stop fighting, but they did not realize that it contained the seeds of destruction. Hundreds of years of uninterrupted wars have made the Qin people become masters of war. They are good at surviving in wars, but they are I don’t know how to maintain peace. When reunification really comes, I am at a loss and don’t know how to face it.

That rainy night in Daze Township unveiled the prelude to the demise of the Qin Dynasty. The rule of the Qin Dynasty was finally overthrown. As Confucianism was established as the country's orthodox thought, the intellectuals began to spare no effort to criticize the Qin Dynasty verbally and writtenly. The practice of smearing Qin was passed down from generation to generation of Confucian dynasties, and Qin was also deliberately shaped into a negative example. As a result, Qin's ancestors were dressed up as alien Xirong, and Qin Shihuang was fictionalized as Lu Buwei's son with ulterior motives...

But in any case, more than four hundred years have passed since the Qin Dynasty. No matter how hard the city wall is, it has collapsed. No matter how sharp the bronze sword is, it cannot withstand the ring-shou sword. The past is the past after all, and what is lost will not be lost. In regaining.

It is impossible for the Qin Dynasty to be restored, and there is no meaning in restoring it. But if it is not the Qin of the Qin Dynasty, then the word "Qin" is the Qin of the Qin Dynasty?

Now that Fei Qian has captured Hanzhong, if he captures Sichuan and Shu again, he will basically have the same power as the Qin Dynasty during the Warring States Period, with the richness of the Bashu land, the richness of the Guanzhong land, plus the defense of Tongguan. There are valleys and steep mountains and rivers. Basically, it is somewhat similar to the Qin Dynasty sitting on the mountain and watching tigers fight...

But the question is, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, could the Qin Dynasty sit on a mountain and watch tigers fight be successful in the current Han Dynasty? Will these Shandong nobles obediently follow the script, choose the strongest one first, and then turn around to confront Fei Qian?

Obviously impossible.

Normally, once Feiqian becomes dominant, he will inevitably be attacked by the surrounding countries. Isn't that the case in the Three Kingdoms?

Furthermore, not to mention that Fei Qian has not yet obtained Sichuan and Shu, not to mention that Fei Qian is going back to Guanzhong. Although the overall strategy is somewhat related to Sichuan and Shu, after all, the geographical location is one south and one north. The so-called Qin power, It does not involve much in solving the current problems in Guanzhong...

Therefore, although it is somewhat interesting, it does not look like the Qin Dynasty.

So, what does the word "Qin" left by Li Ru mean?
