Section 106 Liangzhou Night Moon (Part 1)
Some words cannot be taken seriously, especially some words in the officialdom. Liu Shan knows. However, this is the first time Liu Shan has heard of these and the first time he has experienced them.
In a blink of an eye, the welcome banquet has ended and the prince's people are going back. There will be wars in Liangzhou at any time. The Turks, not far away, want to come here to visit, grab some things, kill some people, and plunder some property. This is a high-risk area. Since the prince's people have completed their mission, they naturally refuse to stay here. Because the Turks do not care who you are, but no matter how noble your status is, it seems that the nobler your status is, they are more interested in you.
The guards sent the prince's men far away. When they were sent away, they were already very dark. The cold moon on the border shone on the vast land, and the ruts shook the desolate Liangzhou territory, leaving only the sound of the wheels turning. The prince's men actually drove out of Liangzhou overnight, which shows their fear of the Turks.
Liu Shan can understand this. After all, the wars continued at the end of the Sui Dynasty and the war spread everywhere. In Mobei, the biggest disaster was the fierce grassland people. The fear of them was probably rooted in the hearts of some people. However, Liu Shan looked down on these people from the bottom of his heart. In them, Liu Shan could not see even a little bloodiness.
Liu Shan did not give the prince. He just climbed the city wall at the border in the cold moon. It was said that it was a city wall, but in fact it was only more than three meters high and one meter thick. Moreover, many places were damaged. Later, the built two colors were completely different from the original city wall, which made people feel vicissitudes and the frequent worries about the war here. Compared with Chang'an and Luoyang, cities like iron beasts, the city walls here were like Haba puppy standing in front of prehistoric beasts.
Liu Shan still had some impression of Liangzhou. This was the place where the Tang Dynasty seized from Li Gui, the King of Daliang, Hexi during its external expansion in the early years. It was originally close to the Turks, and the years of border troubles had never been stopped. In addition, the location here was particularly special, and it was a strategic impetus in the Hexi Corridor. During the late Sui Dynasty and early Tang Dynasty, the Turks had almost become a routine for military use here. There were more than a dozen large attacks, and small battles occurred every month. As for border frictions and casualties, it was simply common. If such things did not happen, it would be abnormal.
At this time, Liu Shan stood on the low city wall, looking at the direction of the north of the city. Not far away was the Turkic land, a place where the fierce grassland nomadic cavalry often appeared. At this time, in the moonlight, Liu Shan's vision was desolate. At the end of this desolate, Liu Shan seemed to see a winding line. Liu Shan didn't know where it was. But standing here, Liu Shan had the illusion that history flashed in front of his eyes.
The northern nomadic peoples have always been a great danger to China. During the slave society, the Gentile barbarians in the north often invaded. The period when the famous Zhou Youwang played the princes in history occurred when the Quanrong, located in Gansu, destroyed the Western Zhou Dynasty, and thus the Zhou royal family moved eastward and began to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. Since the establishment of the Qin Empire, the first feudal dynasty in Chinese history, the northern nomadic tribes still often invaded the south, including the Xiongnu, Donghu, Xianbei, Wuheng, Turks, as well as the Khitan, Jurchen, Uighurs known to Liu Shan, as well as the Mongolian and Qing dynasties that finally invaded the Han territory. It can be said that a large part of the history of China is the mutual fighting and conquest between the northern nomadic tribes and the southern Han regime.
During the Qin Empire, due to the strength of the Qin Empire, the northern nations were unable to move south for a while. Even if Qin took over the Henan territory of Qin when he destroyed the six kingdoms, they were finally recovered by Meng Tian. Meng Tian built the Great Wall in the north. Later, Qin Shihuang even saw the way and method of fighting against the nomadic tribes in the north of Meng Tian's move to build the Great Wall. Therefore, Qin State built the Great Wall in large numbers, connecting the Great Wall that was originally in the north of Zhao, Yan and Qin countries. This was the beginning of China's Great Wall.
The Qin Empire unified the six kingdoms and was able to use troops to the north. General Meng Tian led 300,000 troops to attack the Huns in the north. The Hu people were driven away like rabbits who saw wolves or mice who saw cats and mice. They were driven up and down, and killed. The Hu people did not even dare to go south to find places with abundant water and grass to grazed their cattle and horses.
However, the Qin Empire was too short after all, and the Daze Township was burning, which sounded the death knell for the Qin Empire. After the Chu-Han battle for hegemony, the Central Plains China was full of vast numbers, the people were living in poverty, their productivity suffered unprecedented damage, and their population also plummeted. At this time, the Huns launched a large-scale military force against the new Han Dynasty, and Bai Deng surrounded the whole country. In the end, Emperor Gaozu had to ease his relationship with the Huns in the form of marriage.
During the reign of Wen and Jing, a solid material foundation was laid for the Han Dynasty to attack the Huns in the north. During the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, the stars of generals shone brightly on the stage of China. Wei Qing, Huo Qubing, Li Ling, and Li Guang
As a result, the conquest of the Huns became a major operation by the Han Dynasty to the north.
The Huns were destroyed, and the northern border of the Han Dynasty was safe
Scenes of history emerged in front of Liu Shan's eyes, like the clouds and smoke of the past, looking at the desolation ahead and the sand and stones blown by the wind in the wind. These soils have invaded the blood of many heroes, and recorded the tragic songs of history. At this time, standing on the border wall, Liu Shan seemed to hear the sound of golden swords and iron horses, the sound of drums on all sides, the faint sighs of history, and the tragic songs of countless souls.
Looking northwest at Chang'an, there are countless mountains.
How many people were in this mood back then, fighting in the bitter and cold land in the north, just to protect their hometown in the south.
I don’t know where to blow the reed tube, and I try my best to see the hometown overnight.
Or, in the Qin era, the Han era, the Three Kingdoms and Jin era, in countless scenes, when the northern expeditions heard the singing from their hometown, they would look at the hometown that was thousands of miles away. Although they could not see anything, the tears flowing from the corners of their eyes were filled with the longing of their relatives.
Gold will wear golden armor in hundreds of battles, and will never return until Loulan is destroyed.
However, they have their own responsibilities and their own guardian home. Behind them is their hometown, and behind them is the hometown of China that they are attached to. The country has no choice but to retreat, and the northern nations are pressing forward step by step. The Han nation has never been a nation that loves war, but history has so much helplessness. Faced with invasion and massacre, the Han nation will never swallow its anger. Those who dare to invade China will shed all their blood, consume their lives, and chase thousands of miles away, and will never let the other party go.
The night wind blew coldly, and the north was bitter and cold. Even in September, Liu Shan felt a little cold. The north wind blew by, and Liu Shan took back Liu Shan's thoughts. At this time, a white cloak was already covered with her body. Yiren stood quietly by her, and Liu Shan did not notice it. Looking at Yi'er's somewhat desolate figure in the night wind, Liu Shan took the cloak, put it on Yi'er, and wrapped the cloak tightly.
"What are you thinking? You're so enchanting!" Seeing that Liu Shan had woken up from his previous trance, Yi'er's crisp and gentle voice sounded.
"How do you want to fight this battle? The Turks are uncertain and galloping across the grasslands and deserts. They have the cruelty and wildness of grassland wolves. We are in Liangzhou, defending the borders, and they may come to attack at any time, but once they fail, they can retreat at any time. The grassland nomadic cavalry travels like the wind, and I am thinking of a way to get it done once and for all." Liu Shan tied the belt of the cloak to Yi'er and said in Yi'er's ear.
