Chapter 579: Time flies


Guanzhong, which is approaching winter, is not fighting.

I don't know if it's because of the season, or something else, Zhang's Liangjun and Di, Qiang, and Zahu retreated cleanly at the end of autumn, not only retreating from the Qinzhou line, but even giving up Longxi and Longdong to retreat to the end.

Xie An had limited forces at hand, and only recovered the lost ground after the enemy retreated voluntarily, and did not launch a threatening attack on the coalition forces.

After waiting for the snow to fall in Guanzhong, it was confirmed that the group of people such as Di, Qiang, and Zahu disappeared, and Zhang's Liangjun put on a stubborn posture, and Xie An planned the defense area and went to Chang'an.

Chang'an began to comb in the third year of Yuanshuo, mainly to remove the ruins of buildings in the city and repair the roads to a certain extent.

This is because Liu Yan has set Chang'an as the future imperial capital, and the early cleanup is for later construction.

After more than a year of cleaning, the ruins in Chang'an City are still not completely cleaned up, and even the old palace city is motionless.

The reason for this was of course that there was an extreme shortage of manpower, and under normal circumstances, only slaves were working, and when it was time for the people to pay the contributions, the population of Guanzhong was scarce and could not provide much conscription.

Xie An would come to Chang'an, and it was he who received instructions from the center to bring a batch of reinforcements into the command system, and at the same time, the hussar general Ran Min would also send people to escort up to 180,000 slaves.

Ran Min was about to conquer Shuozhou in an all-round way, and the pit killing of the Qian tribe did not stop for a moment, but the rest of the tribes left a way to live.

The so-called way of life of the tribes is that men and women are slaves no matter how old they are, and the women of the right age are rewarded to meritorious soldiers according to the requirements of the center.

There is still a big gap between men and women in the Han Kingdom, probably three men compared to one woman, and I don't think two of the three men will become singles, or men can only marry women who are much younger than themselves when they are older.

In order to improve the gap between men and women, the fastest way that the Han State could think of was to obtain women from the outside, in addition to robbing the women of the hostile nation, the Ming media of the women of the subject country were constantly marrying and abducting.

And the subject countries of the Han State are not the Northeast, the Chaoxian Peninsula, and the Japanese Islands.

Among the many subject states, Goguryeo was the one who was most hurt by the large gap between men and women in the Han Kingdom.

Goguryeo was repeatedly cooked by Murong Xian, and several major defeats caused a large number of young people to either die in battle or be captured.

Then the men of Goguryeo must have decreased, and the Han State, as the suzerain, is naturally obliged to help, and the way of light and darkness has not stopped, from the second year of Yuan Shuo to the present, the number of women in Goguryeo who have changed their nationality to the Han State has exceeded 80,000.

The total population of Goguryeo is only seven or eight hundred thousand, which means that the marriageable women of Goguryeo were almost all swept away by the Han state.

It would be a good idea to eliminate a nation and give priority to the integration of its women, after all, men alone cannot produce offspring, and the more women suitable for childbearing, the more women a nation can explode at any time.

Goguryeo has a crazy attitude towards the Han State to obtain women from its own country, and the top management knows very well that Goguryeo cannot turn against the Han State now, but the bottom does not have so many concerns, and the result is that the phenomenon of rejection of the Han people began to appear in Goguryeo society, and the soldiers in the Goguryeo army also became more and more hostile to the Han State.

However, it must be said that no one from the top of the Han Kingdom took Goguryeo's anger seriously.

In addition to Goguryeo, women of school age in Baekje, Silla, and the U archipelago were also the goal of the Han state, but they could not be as unscrupulous and excessive as Goguryeo did.

Baekje and Silla, given the state of Goguryeo, was a kind of internal propaganda boycott, and later begged the Han state not to take more than a number of women from the two countries each year.

The Japanese archipelago is incomparably strange, and the archipelago countries do not seem to notice anything wrong, not only do not exclude the Han people from accepting Japanese women, but on the contrary, they try their best to offer Japanese women.

In fact, the gap between men and women in the Han Kingdom is really too large, resulting in the fact that the men of the Han family love their wives very much, and when the lack of women reaches a certain level, no one cares about the bloodline or anything, and there is no such thing as looking down on women of different races, and even because of the gap between the rich and the poor between the country and the country, the female family who marries a man from the Han family is often able to get help.

For example, the reason why the Japanese islands desperately stuffed women with Han men was because they could obtain scarce materials from the Han son-in-law.

Xie An waited in Chang'an, and in the depths of winter, the first batch of troops came through Tongguan, a standing army with more than 20,000 county soldiers, and about 60,000 slaves.

"Well, we are as a garrison, mainly to supervise the slaves to speed up the cleanup of Chang'an."

When Ma Yuan was asked by Xie An, he first explained, and then said: "The above thinks that the surrounding enemy countries will probably be solved within two or three years, and the capital should enter the state of construction as soon as possible." ” When he heard that it was not reinforcements, Xie An felt extremely disappointed.

He just knew that there would be reinforcements, but he didn't actually know how many reinforcements and what kind of troops.

"Two or three years" Xie An seems to have just reacted: "The center actually has this confidence" Ma Yuan just smiled, he was not even a Zhonglang general, and the things he knew were actually very limited, and those words just now were heard by Ran Min in the war zone in charge.

Xie An, who was in the guanzhong, was a little closed in news, and he didn't know that Xie Ai had destroyed the alliance of kings, and he didn't know that Zhang's Liangguo's state advocate Chonghua was captured alive.

Not only Xie An, it should be said that the news of the vast majority of people will not be so smooth, maybe the Zhang family Liangguo didn't know about the capture of his lord at all, after all, it was something that happened in the depths of the grassland, and it was natural that no one informed him and didn't know.

Nearly two months have passed since Xie Ai destroyed the alliance of kings to the deep winter season, and many things have been changing, Tuoba Shi Yijian and Murong Jun have fled back separately, and the two countries are fully aware of what is happening, and they are bound to react in their own way.

Tuoba Shi Yijian made two preparations, about a month and a half ago, on the one hand, he sent an envoy to Jicheng, where Liu Yan was located, and his request for repair was rejected, and then his request to become a vassal state was rejected again; On the other hand, the army and herdsmen in the southern part of the Tuoba Dynasty were constantly shrinking, and they gave up Shengle, which was very close to the Hetao, and continued to gather men in the depths of Monan.

Liu Yan's reason for refusing to reconcile Tuoba Shi Yijian is very simple, the war is the first move of Tuoba Daiguo, so when the war should be decided by the Han State.

The reason why he will reject Tuoba Shi Yijian as a vassal state is simpler, Tuoba Shi Yijian clearly has no sincerity, even if he is really sincere, the Han State must not accept it, or any country in the future, if it wants to fight the Han State, it will be a vassal country, and if it can't be beaten, it will be called a vassal, how can there be such a good thing in the world.

The two sides have actually entered a state of war, and the Han State still has enough ability to erase the Tuoba Dynasty from the map, and there is no need to achieve a false peace at all, and the current Han State does not have so much energy to play the IQ game.

The center of the Han State learned that Tuoba Daiguo would concentrate the army and population to the north, but he didn't figure out what Tuoba Shi Yijian wanted to do for a while, and it didn't matter much if he couldn't guess it, so he went directly to Xie Ai, saying that Tuoba Daiguo was going to invade Rouran, and asked Xie Ai to quickly fool Bati and try to make the two countries hurry up and fight to the death.

In view of the new moves, the movement of the Praetorian Guard under Xie Ai has not been taken for the time being, and the Han army may need to break into the northern part of the Tuoba Dynasty to stir up the chaos first, and it is more likely that it will be a slap in the face of Rou Ran again, Xie Ai naturally needs to have a strong army at hand.

After a series of tosses, Murong Jun returned to his lair more than a month later than Tuoba Shi Yijian, and the first thing he heard when he went back was the news that Murong Hao had died of illness, and he was faced with the military and political power of the entire Murong Yan Kingdom in the hands of Murong Ba.

Murong Hao, who had been ill for several years, died in the winter, and at that time Murong Jun, the crown prince of Murong Yan, was in a state of disappearance.

Murong Ge, who returned to Dragon City, couldn't help but be furious, his handsome face was so handsome that he was jealous that he was so angry that he would stab Feng Yi to death on the spot if he had a sword.

Later, some princes such as Murong Zun, Murong You, and Murong Li, including many Hu generals, successively expressed their opposition or hesitation, and only a very small number of civil officials and Jin generals supported it, and the matter of Murong Ba's accession to the throne and succession to the throne became unresolved, but Murong Ba still had a title of superintendent on his head.

Murong Ba, who became the ruler of the prison state, did not get mad at first, but just strongly demanded that Murong Hao be buried, but encountered strong opposition from Murong Ge.

Murong Ge objected on the grounds that the crown prince Murong Jun was not present when he returned to the country, and the others were on Murong Ge's side this time for various reasons.

Murong Ge, who seemed to be alone, made Murong Ba deeply hated this time, and Murong Ba would definitely have to take some action if he hadn't considered that he would have to rely on Murong Ge to fight against the Han army.

Waiting for Murong Jun to return to Dragon City in embarrassment, Murong Ge was ordered to stay in his mansion and not take half a step.

Murong Jun's return finally allowed Murong Hao to be buried, but the memorial service for Murong Hao's burial was originally presided over by him alone, but it was presided over by him and Murong Ba together.

In the memorial ceremony of Murong Hao's burial, Murong Ge, who was grounded, did not appear.

Murong Hao was buried, and Murong Jun also returned, as the crown prince, should Murong Jun be crowned King Yan after the memorial service However, the new king's ascension to the throne was delayed for nearly a month, Murong Jun became the new king of Yan, but Murong Ba's title of supervising the country was not removed, Feng Yi changed from the minister of state to the captain, and the official positions of some civil and military officials also changed quite a lot.

What happened to Murong Yanguo is a secret, what kind of compromise process Murong Jun and Murong Ba are has not been made public, it is commendable that Murong Yanguo did not have large-scale bloodshed, that is to say, no army was mobilized to fight, that is, during that period of time, many dead bodies of unknown origin were found in the gutter and on the road.

For a period of time afterward, Feng Yi's eldest son Feng Qi died while going out hunting, but how he died was announced by Murong Ba, saying that he was killed by a deer with horns.

In other words, who will go hunting when the weather is cold and freezing, but Feng Qi is really going out to hunt, but fortunately, he was killed by the antlers.

The way he died is reminiscent of Li Kang in the Western Han Dynasty, and Li Kang was shot to death with an arrow in retaliation by Huo Quai.

The death of Feng Qi, the eldest son of the dignified Taiwei, was that he died without even the slightest ripple.

Less than half a month after his death, Murong Ge was released from his solitary confinement, was canonized as the Duke of Taiyuan by Murong Jun, and was ordered to go to Lingzhicheng to continue to lead the army against the Han army.

When Murong Ge was ordered to go to the battlefield again, Murong Ba was also ordered by Murong Jun to go to the north.

When Murong Ba left from Dragon City, he took Feng Yi with him, and many civil and military officials also accompanied him, and nearly 130,000 people walked in a mighty way.

They were going to the Xianbei Grassland, which is the birthplace of the Xianbei people, on the east side of the Rouran Tribal Alliance, the southeast side of the East Gaoche, and not far from the northwest side of the Beihai Bagar Lake.

Xie An, who had been staying in Chang'an, only learned about what had happened in the latest issue of the newspaper at the end of winter.

While he was waiting for reinforcements, he also received a group of envoys sent by the center to envoy Zhang's Liangguo, and at the same time, he knew exactly that Zhang Chonghua had been escorted to Xiangguo.

Previously, there were not many Han Guo's meticulous works who went to Zhang's Liangguo first, they were going to trick Zhang Zuo and Zhang Tianxi into doing big things, and whether they succeeded or not, anyway, they would make the high-level gentlemen of Zhang's Liangguo mess up first.

The day after the envoys came to Chang'an, Xie An finally looked forward to reinforcements from the stars and the moon, which were two cavalry corps and one infantry corps that originally belonged to the hussar general shogunate.

The Han sent an envoy to Zhang's Liangguo, and would stay in Chang'an and wait for the ice and snow to melt before continuing on his way.

Their mission is very simple, if Zhang's Liangguo doesn't know the news of Zhang Chonghua's capture, they will spread the news in Zhang's Liangguo, and they will also spread rumors according to the speed of Xie An's department's advancement, probably the fake news that Zhang Chonghua has decided to surrender the whole country, so that Zhang's Liangguo can believe that it is the best, and it can't make the people of Zhang's Liangguo panic.

Zhang Chonghua was sent to Xiangguo, but he absolutely did not surrender, let alone demand that Zhang's Liang army surrender immediately after the arrival of the Han army in the name of the king.

On the contrary, Zhang Chonghua began to go on hunger strike after being persecuted, and of course the Han side could not let him be starved to death, but was forced to feed him.

He was fierce, and if he didn't die on a hunger strike, he would hit his head against the wall or bite his tongue to kill himself, and finally forced the guards to tie up and plug their mouths, and only pull out the contents of their mouths when they were forcefully fed, but they were immediately gagged with bamboo tubes.

Knowing what had happened in the country recently and what was happening in the surrounding areas, Xie An suddenly found that the pressure enveloping the Han State had been lifted, and after some thought, he confirmed that it was very well-founded for the Wind Transmission Center to at least weaken the surrounding countries in two or three years, and it was definitely not out of conjecture.

The expedition to Xiliang may encounter some trouble, but it is only trouble, and it cannot prevent Xiliang from losing the country after the lord of the country was captured and the dragons were leaderless, and Xie An certainly had confidence in his own army to conquer Zhang's Liangguo, and he felt that he did not expect that the king would really regain most of the old land of the Han family in just a few years, and he would definitely be able to restore the strength of the Han Dynasty:
