Three Kingdoms

The sudden battle on the Jiaozhi coastline may still be waiting for Liu Bei to open a new window or door. In the Northern Territory Protectorate area, after a long migration and trek, the Jiankun Kingdom finally moved south to its original territory. The location of Tuoba Xianbei.

Since the beginning of spring, Po Shihe Yuanchang, the leader of the Jiankun Kingdom, has been busy and has not organized his disciples to hunt according to his old habit.

For the nomads, hunting is not only a pastime, or a more honorable "training of soldiers", but it is also an important economic income. After all, the large amounts of meat and fur obtained during hunting are very popular for the tribes. of.

Po Shihe Yuanchang was in middle age at this time. Although he had begun to gain weight, he was strong and energetic, with a red face and bright eyes. He had just inherited the position of the old leader of Po Shihe, so he naturally had some thoughts. Do a good job.

Regardless of that era, long-distance travel and trekking through mountains and rivers are not very friendly to the elderly.

The old leader of Poshihe fell ill halfway on the road, and then he summoned several leaders and officially handed over the position of chief leader to Poshihe Yuanchang.

When Po Shihe Yuanchang succeeded as the great leader, Jiankun Kingdom had actually entered a period of decline, and the situation was very bad.

Due to the arrival of the severe cold in the Little Glacier, Poshihe's farming along the Yenisei River has experienced a significant reduction in production, or even no harvests. The Qiulin tribe in the Jiankun Kingdom took advantage of the situation, eventually triggering civil strife. If it weren't for Poshihe With the strong support of the Han Dynasty, it is impossible to say that Po Shihe will become a slave of the Qiulin tribe and disappear in the long river of history.

Even though Poshihe finally won, Jiankun Country still faced many difficulties and problems.

Winning the Qiulin tribe does not mean that Po Shihe can completely absorb all the heritage of Qiu Lin. After all, Qiu Lin is mainly nomadic, and most of them fled when the situation was bad. Po Shihe only captured A small number of humans, horses and livestock.

At the same time, because Poshihe itself has a semi-agricultural and semi-nomadic social structure, and still uses the tribal alliance model to manage government affairs, it is relatively impossible to achieve more reasonable unified dispatch and arrangements.

Even within the same Poshihe tribe, the upper echelons were not united with each other. Once there were no external enemies, they began to fight against each other. The middle and lower levels were unable to obtain a satisfactory distribution of spoils, and even those who died in the battle only received a few pieces of dead body parts. If you use your bloody clothes and torn leather as a pension, you will naturally feel dissatisfied. Once the people at the lower level become dissatisfied, the decline in overall combat effectiveness becomes an unavoidable problem.

Not to mention that the internal conflicts within Jiankun State have intensified unprecedentedly. Po Shihe defeated Qiu Lin, but over the years, it was inevitable that there would be marriages between the daughters of this family, the sons of that family, and those who gave birth to children long before the incident broke out. They wanted to cut off Qiu Lin immediately. The relationship between Lin and Lin is so easy.

It's impossible to arrest and execute everyone who has anything to do with Qiulin. Wouldn't that make the situation even more confusing?

Po Shihe Yuanchang and the previous old leaders have repeatedly emphasized that they are only going to kill the few Qiulin culprits. Others who do not follow the rebellion will not be investigated. However, it is inevitable that some guys in the Po Shihe tribe will take the opportunity to report personal grievances. The lack of time and the inability to suppress the situation has resulted in the situation in Qiulin where everyone is in danger and it is very difficult to deal with it.

If it hadn't been for the powerful General Zhang He of the Northern Territory Protectorate of the Han Dynasty who had always supported Po Shihe Yuanchang, the Jiankun State would have probably gradually collapsed and become just a short-lived local government.

Migrate, go south.

Arriving to the north of Yinshan Mountain, the climate is no longer as cold as the Yenisei River in the Northern Desert. It can be regarded as saving the Jiankun Kingdom from the brink of collapse. The situation of poverty in the country and the people has not been fundamentally improved, but at least it is not We need to let the elderly commit suicide, or even intentionally kill others to maintain their survival...

But after arriving in the north of Yinshan Mountain, differences once again arose within the Jiankun Kingdom.

Tribal alliances are inherently flawed.

Po Shihe Yuanchang wanted to restore the original Han surname, but some people within Po Shihe disagreed. At the same time, Subukiji didn't agree very much. There are thousands of reasons, but in fact there is only one that is the most real, but no one will say it.

I'd rather have a chicken head than an ox tail.

Po Shihe, in Jiankun country, is more or less considered a "royal family", just a noble family name.

Not to mention the Subju family.

If the surname is changed to Li and Wang, who knows who the cat and the dog are?

This is just like some manufacturers in later generations who insist on adding weird names to domestic products, otherwise they will feel like they are "lost to everyone"...

Although Po Shihe Yuanchang is in power, it does not mean that his authority can completely convince the public.

Externally, the remnants of the Qiulin of Jiankun State have not been completely eliminated. After all, the centipede insects are dead but not stiff. There is no guarantee when they will follow the migration route of the Poshi River and invade again. In addition, to the west of the Yenisei River, there were Semu people who were also ready to make a move. These guys had a bad relationship with Poshi River, otherwise they would not have supported Qiulin's coup at that time.

There are external problems externally, and Jiankun's internal problems are also serious.

Lack of supplies has always been an important issue hindering the development of Jiankun Country.

Although the chief of Poshihe realized in the previous generation that a country without civilization, or a country that could not produce civilization, had no future, so the previous generation Poshihe began to settle in the Yenisei River and began to shift from pure nomadicism to It is half nomadic and half farming, but in the bitter cold land, it is still very difficult to obtain food.

Even as a leader, it is difficult to have enough food for every meal, let alone the ordinary people of Poshihe. At the same time, in addition to food, there is almost no shortage of daily necessities. Even the most basic supplies such as salt and sauce are difficult to ensure supply.

After all, not many nomads know how to make salt. Not only is it extremely expensive, but it is often out of stock, so being able to eat salt sauce is considered a first-rate person.

The state cannot solve the problem and the people's livelihood is difficult. No matter how loudly the name of Jiankun country is called, it is like the moon falling in the water.

While he was meditating, someone brought in some wooden tablets, which made the pile of wooden tablets that needed to be dealt with around Po Shihe Yuanchang even higher. Poshi Heyuanchang picked up the top wooden slip, which contained various information about the mutual trade with the Han Dynasty.

Trading with the Han Dynasty is the most important source of supplies for Jiankun at the moment. Therefore, Po Shihe Yuanchang is very concerned about every trade with the Han Dynasty and has to check and inquire in person.

At first, the mutual market was fine, but recently, for some unknown reason, it often appeared in the wooden slip reports that Han merchants often regarded themselves as winners in the mutual market, bullying the weak, buying and selling by force, selling at high prices and buying at low prices, and even asking " "Credit" and so on.

What made him even more displeased was that the goods purchased from Han merchants were often shoddy and sold at a disadvantage. A piece of linen is often two or three feet short, and a pound of salt is often only twelve taels. It is difficult to detect without careful inspection.

This has happened more than once.

He sent people to inquire about the specific situation every time, and even asked Han merchants to question him sternly, but with little success.

Some of the big businessmen didn't admit it at all, and some simply made up for the change in a perfunctory way.

As a result, there were gradually more and more chaotic sounds inside the Poshi River.

When Po Shihe Yuanchang was considering whether to inform General Zhao Yun of the Northern Territory Protectorate or whether to go directly to General Zhao Yun to respond better, another fast horse came in a hurry and brought Dong Mian. Latest news.

In the desert, the location occupied by the current migration of the Jiankun Kingdom was the pasture of the Xianwang in the north of the Tuoba Desert of Xianbei. To the east was the original Xianbei Royal Court, well, now it is the Dingling Royal Court. There are no Great Walls or passes between these pastures, so if there are Dingling people, remaining Xianbei people, or Wuhuan people coming from the east, they may invade them. The tribes in the Poshi River therefore have to pay attention.

In addition to the scouts assigned to the east, Poshikawa Yuanchang also sent people to the west and south. In addition to the eyeliners who originally stayed in the north, Poshikawa Yuanchang almost expanded his tentacles as much as possible...

After all, the Jiankun State is still very unstable at the moment. If there is a slight disturbance, it will inevitably have a chain reaction and lead to big problems.

The report brought by Kuai Ma is about changes in Youzhou.

"Youzhou..."

Po Shihe Yuanchang also has some understanding of the current situation of the Han Dynasty.

Of course, it's just "how much".

This is also the reason why Jiankun has never been able to completely unify its opinions.

Po Shihe Yuanchang looked at the relevant information and sighed with a little emotion.

How great would it be if Fei Qian, the hussar general, was directly the emperor of the Han Dynasty?

Now in Jiankun country, there is a saying that even if Poshihe Yuanchang and Feiqian signed any agreement, if the emperor of Han Dynasty does not recognize it, what is the use? Didn't something like this never happen back then? After all, Po Shihe was, from a certain perspective, the product of the repeated attitudes and policies of the Han emperor.

This is also a problem that worries Po Shihe Yuanchang.

He could not guarantee whether Feiqian's current policy towards him would continue, nor could he guarantee how long the trade with Guanzhong would last in the future. What if on that day the Emperor of the Han Dynasty ordered the hussars not to trade with each other?

If the attitude in the Han Dynasty changes, the Jiankun Kingdom will definitely not be stable.

Jiankun has not yet established the concept of the so-called supreme leader in the country, and Poshihe Yuanchang's face is not that big. It can be said that one is the only one, and Qiankun is arbitrary. In many cases, he still has to discuss with other tribal leaders, and only after the resolution is passed can Carry it out.

Therefore, Poshihe Yuanchang must have a relatively comprehensive understanding of Dahan before he can convince others and make the final decision...

He must get in touch with the Emperor of Han.

Then we get the attitude and policies of the Emperor of Han towards the Jiankun Kingdom.

The emperor's edict may not be long-lasting, but in Jiankun Kingdom's understanding, at least this edict comes from the highest level of the Han Dynasty, which is higher than the hussar general.

The people sent by Po Shihe Yuanchang got in touch with Cao Chun in Youzhou.

Cao Chun was almost overjoyed and sent Xiahou Shang to greet the people of Jiankun Kingdom.

Po Shihe Yuanchang only sent a few mid-level personnel from Po Shihe, but Cao Chun and others received the Po Shihe personnel with the most solemn etiquette as if they were welcoming important envoys.

The personnel dispatched by Poishikawa Motojo are members of the Subokuji clan. Their names are very long and simply mean flowing rivers. So let’s simply use the Chinese name to simplify it and call it Wanghe. Wang comes from Wang Zhaojun, not from Hu. He is the abbreviation of that flowing river.

Xiahou Shang knew that his performance in the previous battle was somewhat "poor", so he seized this opportunity tightly, wishing he could sacrifice Wang He along the way...

Wang He was somewhat flattered by Xia Houshang's warm reception.

The group approached Yuyang.

Looking forward from the horse's head, although it is still freezing cold, spring has begun to come, the river ice has begun to melt, the soil has become moist, and the grass on the roadside has begun to wake up in the sun. Some trees also have yellow spores on their branches, which seem to be about to sprout leaves in the next moment.

Wang He took a deep breath. He had a long road ahead. He wondered how good or bad his journey would be. He must try his best to observe, test, and find the final answer.

The most critical reason why Poshihe Yuanchang sent him out was that Poshihe Yuanchang hoped that the Xubu Juci clan could serve as a third party to contact the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, contact another party besides Hussar, and take a more objective look at the Jiankun Kingdom Where does the future lie?

The former emperor of Han Dynasty left such deep scars on Po Shihe that he would never forget it. Therefore, the entire Jiankun Kingdom had extremely complicated emotions towards the Emperor of Han Dynasty, including fear, worry, some suspicion, and even some hatred...

When approaching Yuyang, Cao Chun sent his confidants to meet Wang He again.

Of course, this is what it should be. After all, before a formal meeting, it is always necessary to explore the opinions and attitudes of both parties first. Then what things can be said and what things are difficult to talk about, both parties have more or less an idea, and then in the follow-up During the meeting, there will be no sudden topics that make both parties embarrassed.

But when Wang He's request was conveyed to Cao Chun, Cao Chun was a little embarrassed.

Wang He hoped to obtain a vindication edict from the Emperor of Han Dynasty for Li Ling's crimes and obtain a piece of land according to Li Ling's title during his lifetime. In addition, it is hoped that mutual trade can be established...

After Li Ling?

This is really surprising.

Cao Chun's eyes widened. He had previously thought that they were just ordinary Northern Desert Hu people, just like the Dingling people, the Wuhuan people and the Xianbei people, a Hu people tribe in the desert, but he did not expect that they were the descendants of Li Ling.

Among these problems, the most difficult one is to ask the emperor of Han Dynasty to slap his ancestors in the face. Although after Guangwu, this Han Dynasty was no longer the same Han Dynasty, he was still worshiped in the temple and governed the world with "loyalty and filial piety"... …

However, Cao Chun was unwilling to let go of such an excellent opportunity. After hesitation, he decided to stabilize Wanghe first, and it was only right to recruit a group of war horses first.

After the two parties met, Cao Chun first expressed his welcome to Wang He in an official tone, and then gave Wang He a lot of gifts. At least he came up with something, and it was not an ordinary one. The ordinary goods in the market can be regarded as spending a lot of money to build relationships.

However, this did make Wang Hai have a good impression of Cao Chun. After all, he reached out to avoid hitting the smiling person. Seeing so many gifts did make him feel a little touched. However, Wang He also reminded himself that this was Cao's trick to win people's hearts. , I can't fall into the trap and forget the original mission.

Cao Chun was very interested in Wang He and looked up and down several times before speaking. In fact, Cao Chun also spoke the Xiongnu language, but he only spoke Chinese and asked his subordinates to translate.

Cao Chun first asked Wang He where he came from and his intentions. This was a topic that both parties had prepared for a long time. Wang He also boasted about the Jiankun Kingdom, saying that they were a big country in Mobei and had established many cities on the Yenisei River. They were just short of population and supplies, and hoped to establish a stable mutual trade with the Han Dynasty.

Wang He concealed their relationship with Hussar.

Cao Chun naturally had everything he needed, and then he mentioned that he hoped Wang He would provide war horses, and a large number of war horses.

After Wang He heard this, although his expression didn't change much, his heart skipped a beat.

War horses are the legs of nomads.

Population and horses have always been the most important resources for all nomadic peoples.

Although Po Shihe and others obtained a certain amount of cattle, sheep and horses during the battle with the Qiulin clan, these cattle, sheep and horses have been distributed to various tribes, and now it has entered spring, which is when the cattle, sheep and war horses are restored. When the meat fat is consumed in winter, it can be traded at this time. Not to mention whether there are so many cattle, sheep and war horses, it can't be sold at any price at this time.

They are all thin...

Wang He responded vaguely while observing Cao Chun and others.

This was the first time he met Han people from another camp. Cao Chun asked him many questions, even some detailed questions including the type and quantity of goods supplied, which obviously valued the establishment of mutual trade.

"If you can bring enough war horses, not only will your country get the corresponding goods, but you will also get a reward from the emperor. When the time comes, you can choose whether you want a beautiful concubine or gold and silver treasures." ” Cao Chun said with a smile.

"Thank you, General, for your kindness. Wang He said, "I will try my best to report back when I go back." 』

Cao Chun nodded and said: "You Jiankun people came here to trade. Although you said you wanted to trade with each other and wanted to obtain items and utensils, you are able to come all the way across the desert. I admire you very much." The key is that as long as you can transport war horses, don't worry, I will never treat you badly. 』

Wang He just thanked him.

As for the hussar general on the other side, Cao Chun said nothing.

Wang He didn’t mention it either.

It was like the hussar general suddenly disappeared.

It was only the first time that the two parties met, and it was unrealistic to start cooperation immediately. So we exchanged the needs of both parties, and then sent people to report separately...

Wang He was waiting in Youzhou, and when Cao Chun dispatched a fast horse and hurriedly reported to Xu County that the Jiankun Kingdom had appeared in the north of the desert and hoped to establish business relations, etc., it was almost as if he was on a fever pitch. Just pour a certain amount of water into the oil pan, and it will burst into flames!

Jiankun State was actually built by the descendants of Li Ling!

If you round it off like this, don’t you think you are a Han man?

Then these Han people are actually coming to recognize their ancestors and join their clan?

This is simply great news!

It is simply the glory of a man!
