Born in one place, but anyone who has the ability and opportunity, no matter how ruthless he is, will want to do something good for his hometown.
Xie Ai is not a ruthless person, he did not have the battle of Xiliang's fame in this historical version, and naturally there is no legend of "Confucian generals in white clothes hitting Mahu".
In fact, Xie Ai is not famous in history, just like those who fought against Hu Lu many times during the Wuhu Rebellion, and did not receive the respect that the contemporary people deserve.
If history had not been changed, Xie Ai had become a general of Zhang's Liangguo with his Confucian background, not counting small battles, and defeated the army of Shijie Zhao in three major battles, but he died in the civil strife of Zhang's Liangguo, leaving Xie Aiji.
The book survived until the early years of the Tang Dynasty, and was recorded by Wei Zheng when he compiled the Sui Book of Classics.
In this version of history changed by Liu Yan, Xie Ai's famous battle was the battle of chasing the dead and chasing the north in the grassland, chasing a small number of fleeing Qian, turning thousands of miles to invade the Tuoba Dynasty, and winning a battle with Rouran in the grassland.
At least in the current era, Zhuxia still attaches importance to external military exploits, and people still have admiration for the grass soldiers, especially the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, which holds the right to record history, was destroyed, and those who fought against the Hu people and martyrs were not deliberately suppressed or erased.
The elimination and suppression of those heroes who fought against the Hu people in the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was because of a kind of cowardice of the small court, they had no face to explain what they had done to future generations, and could only ignore or even be hostile to some people who really did great things.
Not to mention that the small imperial court has eliminated and suppressed it successively, such as Zu Li's Northern Expedition, and Yu Liang's Northern Expedition, and Ran Min's invitation to the Jin army to go north after the Yecheng Incident was refused, but instead announced with the status of "Zhengshuo" that whoever can eliminate Ran Min will be rewarded.
It is the law that only the victors are qualified to write history, and there are too many people who have really done the facts for the nation and have not been given the historical status they deserve, just because those people stood on the losing side in the subsequent civil war, and no matter how good they did, they were basically denied, unless they were not on the side of the new dynasty, otherwise they would not get the historical evaluation they deserved.
The obvious example also happened in the contemporary era, where the Han state under Liu Yan was also eliminating the influence of the Xiliang Zhang clan, such as ignoring the fact that the Zhang clan had actually sheltered a considerable number of Han Chinese, and had been fighting against the Hulu, all for the sake of the justice of the rule.
There is no way to do it, once the correctness and greatness of the Zhang family are promoted, Liu Yan, who has eliminated the Zhang family, will become a villain, and the people who come to the northwest will miss the Zhang family even more, which will cause obstacles for the Han State to rule the northwest.
That can only be deliberately ignored, and if you don't discredit it, it's even a bit of conscience.
When the Zhang clan ruled the northwest, it cannot be said that they did a good job, at least to ensure that the vast majority of people had a stable environment.
However, the Liangguo of the Zhang family and the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty have the same problems, the power of the family within the ruling range is unlimited, and most of the social resources are in the hands of a small number of families and wealthy families, but the vast majority of people who are ordinary people can't make their lives a little better no matter how hard they try.
Even if it was like that, just to be sheltered and not let himself be wantonly abused by Hu Lu like his fellow clans in the Central Plains, the people in the northwest were grateful to the Zhang family.
Therefore, it is only when there is a comparison that people can see the reality more clearly, but the people in the northwest are grateful to the Zhang family, which is actually not conducive to the Han ruling the northwest.
Xie Ai has been an official in Zhang's Liangguo, but it cannot be said that he was excavated, and the reason why he was able to become an official is a continuation of the family's politics.
Later, he became a subordinate of Liu Yan after the negotiation between the Han State and the Zhang Liang State, and there was no betrayal in the change of identity, and there was no moral loss.
As long as people will have a realistic or philistine side, but the performance is not obvious, and now the character in the northwest who can handle it is Xie Ai.
When Zhang's Liangguo was not destroyed before, although Xie Ai's official definition of Zhang's Liangguo was not a traitor, there was really not much positive affirmation, and he would even be maliciously smeared.
Waiting for the Zhang family's Liangguo to be destroyed, even if the people in the northwest are unwilling, they will raise Xie Ai, which is to show that there are at least people in the northwest who can be on the table, and I also hope that Xie Ai can take more care of the northwest.
Whether the local feelings are active or passive, as long as they are born in that place, no matter how malicious the people in their hometown have treated someone, and when someone is developed and capable, but they don't take care of their hometown, the person's reputation is definitely not much better.
Obviously, people don't care how their hometown treats someone, they only feel that they don't even take care of the people in their hometown when they have the opportunity, how can they expect to have any benefit from following someone.
Xie Ai appeared in the northwest, and as soon as the news came out, not only Xie's original friends set off to Rile, but also some people who felt that they had some face.
Those people may not have a special purpose in looking for Xie Ai, maybe they are just purely polite and respectful, but more often they are actually out of a kind of township party sentiment that has existed since ancient times, and they want to find a smooth road here in Xie Ai and participate in the ruling class of the Han State.
Xie Ai is a native of Dunhuang County, and it is thousands of miles away from Dunhuang to Zhangye, and when they arrive in Rile County, Xie Ai is actually no longer there.
"Xintinghou has no intention of deliberately avoiding us."
Xie Ping is also the Dunhuang Xie family, but it is not a side branch within Xie Ai's five suits, otherwise it should have been relocated to Liu Yan's rule as soon as possible.
Even if he is a side branch, he has a very high status in the eyes of some people, and said reservedly: "Gentlemen, wait a minute, and ask the county government." ” Dunhuang was a frontier in the era of great unification, and it was also an authentic frontier in the Liangguo period of the Zhang family, and it can even be said to be an authentic frontier.
Under normal circumstances, people in the border areas really don't go honestly, and really honest people basically can't survive in the border areas.
But their kind of dishonesty is definitely not derogatory, it is more fierce than the people's customs in the absolutely complete region, that is, no matter how rich or big the family background is, there is basically no shadow of pampering.
Xie Ping was a middle-aged man with dark skin and a strong and burly look, and it didn't take much effort for him to get the answer he wanted, Xie Ai was heading to the Jade Gate, that is, they and Xie Ai missed.
Nowadays, there are two places called Yumen.
A full name is called Yumen Pass, which is in the territory of Dunhuang County, is a border pass in the real sense, and Yangguan is a frontier military town.
The other jade gate is in the direction of Jinchang County near Jiuquan County, very close to Jiayuguan in later generations.
Even if it is not a disaster year in the northwest, a considerable number of areas are also desolate, and most of the areas are either grasslands or Gobi, especially north of Yiwu, which is the most barren, and north of Guzang and Zhangye counties have simply formed a desert in modern times.
A long, long time ago, Dunhuang County, Jiuquan County, Zhangye County, and Wuxing County were actually the territory of the Hu people, and a tribe called Xiutu was entrenched in this land, and their main habitat was around the Qilian Mountains.
The Xiutu Department was subsequently incorporated into the Xiongnu, and the vicinity of Qilian Mountain became the territory of the Xiongnu Youxian King, and it was only when the army of the Western Han Dynasty marched here that it became the Han land.
Xie Ai's whereabouts would be so easy to find, it was his deliberate behavior.
There are too many things to do when he comes to the northwest, and the people in the northwest have almost no sense of belonging to the Han Kingdom, and even most of them are distrustful, even if he is a native of the northwest, the extra points he gets are quite limited, and he must have more people to cooperate, and the people who will find him are either relatives and friends or old ones, and they will be relatively trustworthy and cooperative, and they are good candidates as role models.
"Ladies and gentlemen, so as not to miss it again.
Let's get there early."
Everyone naturally responded to Xie Ping's opinion, and they didn't even stop in Rile, and turned back to the road they had just come.
Rile County to Yumen County is not close, a walk is nearly 800 miles away, how to walk for half a month, that is still the reason for the flat terrain in most places in the northwest, there are only a few Gobi along the way, most of them are flat grasslands.

As for the 800-mile road, if you walk in the mountains for a few months, it is not too long, and if there is no predecessor to open the road, it is not too much to walk around for a year.
Xie Ping's people, either on horseback or in a carriage, took six days to arrive in Yumen County.
They came to Yumen County again, but they didn't enter the county seat but found that compared with the previous time, the number of people in Yumen County this time has increased a lot, which is the discovery of people coming and going from the road, and there are also a lot of camps around.
"These camps, except for the lack of fences and horses, look like military camps."
Of course, it is not a military camp in the real sense, but there are really a lot of military officers and soldiers in it, they are mainly Li Kuang, Yumen County is just a temporary stop, and the final camp is in Yangguan.
"Hey, isn't that the new pavilion marquis?"
When Xie Ping heard this, a group of people in front of him were walking around, most of them were soldiers in armor, and Xie Ai, who was dressed in white as the main color, was hugged in the middle.
Xie Ai has been in Yumen County for nearly half a month, mainly waiting for Li Kuang to bring someone over.
He has also received a lot of relatives and friends before and after, and those who are located in Yumen County have responded and taken the lead in joining many new official initiatives, and the young people in the camp are one of the achievements.
The Han State is short of grain, in fact, even if there is no shortage of grain, the northwest will not be large-scale grain when it encounters drought, not only the Han State under the rule of Liu Yan, the previous dynasties have done the same thing, and even the Qin Empire and the first Han Dynasty will not send grain for disaster relief at all, but only open the mountains and rivers to let the people survive on their own.
It is precisely the example of the government not releasing grain on a large scale in the disaster year, and the current Han State has not been criticized for not doing it, and the administrative documents of the central government to open up the mountains and rivers have been sent to the counties and counties in the northwest, and there is also the practice of increasing the number of conscription and recruitment, that is, the increase in the number of conscription and recruitment is also a drop in the bucket, so there is such a thing as encouraging young people to join the military to live abroad.
"Nephew Xie Ping, meet your uncle."
Xie Ping came to Xie Ai to salute, and after bending down and getting up again, he said: "My nephew and my brothers, uncles, and uncles in my hometown rushed to Rile when they heard the news, but they heard that my uncle had come to Yumen, and they returned again day and night. ” I have to say that Xie Ai really didn't know that he had such a nephew as Xinping.
According to the custom, it still has to be verified, for example, let Xie Ping tell who his father and the above are, and the relationship can be confirmed.
In 349 this year, Xie Ping was thirty-three years old and Xie Ai was forty-eight years old.
In terms of seniority and youth, the two are really uncles and nephews, that is, Xie Ai is the main family, but Xie Ping is a side branch outside the five suits, not only have the two never met, in addition to being able to match, the bloodline is also very light.
Xie Ai is now the time to employ people, and there is no need to arrange any official status for Xie Ping, even if some things are done to mess up the relationship, it is not so serious, and he treats Xie Ping unkindly, but in the eyes of the rest of the people who came with Xie Ping, they think that it must be beneficial to get close to Xie Ping.
"Uncle has a life, and my nephew must obey it."
Xie Ping was very, very respectful: "My nephew is in the prime of life, so he should be an example."
The eldest son of the nephew has also performed the crown salute and may accompany him. ” Xie Aicai didn't use the tone of an order, that is, the Han State now has a policy, and it is natural that there is no need to clearly put forward what people are going to do in the Western Regions, but it just needs to be hinted at.
He also knew why Xie Ping behaved like that, but he didn't mind at all, and even appreciated Xie Ping's performance.
All the people who came from Dunhuang County swore and said: "We are the township party, and the Marquis of Xinting has a life, and we will follow it."
Xie Ai looked more satisfied.
He has been away from his hometown for six years, and the people in his hometown still remember that he was very happy at first, and he was very happy to get the cooperation and help of the people in his hometown, which is a good thing for the wind review.
By the way, Xie Ping married early, but his eldest son was only fifteen years old.
According to the custom of the Han family, the crown ceremony is done at the age of twenty, but it is not set in stone.
For example, Xie Ping's family is in the frontier, and the people in the peaceful zone will be crowned earlier, so that the heir can participate in family affairs earlier.
Li Kuang, who has been standing aside, is very envious of Xie Ai's arrival in his hometown, when people keep visiting or investing, whether he is successful or not is first of all to see how many friends there are, and how many people are willing to help when he needs help, which can really be used to judge a person.
Of course, Xie Ai is the Hou Ye, and he is a successful person, and Li Kuang also knows that it is because of such a relationship that he will be sought after by people in his hometown, but what does it matter "This is the Marquis of the Pavilion."
Xie Ai introduced Li Kuang to Xie Ping and said: "This trip to the Western Regions is presided over by the Marquis of Yuanting. ” I didn't have to say it, not only Xie Ping immediately saluted respectfully, but everyone next to him also hurriedly saluted.
Even if the news is closed, it is not difficult to find out, for example, there are more than 20 marquis in the great Han Kingdom, as long as it is a marquis, it is definitely a great achievement, and it is also the top person in the country, no matter how much they stammer, it will not be exaggerated, not to mention that after they are willing to go to the Western Regions, Li Kuang can control their lives and future
