Chapter 771: The Honor of Being Cannon Fodder


At the same time that Li Kuang received the battle report from the front, he specially summoned Warug and Chizhelu, who had been brought over with the defeated group, to wait in the tent. \ "Shanshan people did not resist our entry, and Shanshan people everywhere we went were very cooperative."

Fan Jin was referring to the Han army's collection of grain and grass in the southern part of Bailongdui: "We found that Shanshan was in the midst of a split, in the form of tribes and towns. ” The Han army entered the Western Regions, and the large army advanced directly to Bailongdui, and there would still be small groups of troops scattered out.

Bailongdui is a large area, and there are several countries whose own territory is part of Bailongdui, such as Shanshan.

The choice of the Western Regions in the face of the Han army was to clear the wall, and there were no people within two hundred miles west of Yangguan, even if there were towns, they were empty, and the buildings were specially burned.

After two hundred miles, the Han army found that it was still possible to find some Shanshan people, and those Shanshan people showed many different aspects when they saw the Han army, and they were naturally afraid, but in general, they were friendly and expectant.

"They know that we are here to recover the Western Regions, but they don't know in what form we will use to recover them."

Fan Jin laughed strangely a few times before continuing: "There are already close to ten tribal leaders who want to come over and have been appeased for the time being. ” "Come here" Li Kuang was a little confused and reacted: "It's for the throne of King Shanshan" Shanshan is in a split, if there were strong people, Shanshan would have been reunited long ago.

It is precisely because Shanshan did not appear a strong figure that made Shanshan's split last for decades, they did not have the ability to unify on their own, and no outsiders were willing to see a reunited Shanshan before, but now it's not the Han people who come In the past, the Han people used to rule the Western Regions, but rather the Han dynasty ruled the kings of the Western Regions, and used the kings and leaders of the Western Regions to rule the people of the Western Regions and achieve the steps of controlling the Western Regions, and the Han people did not directly participate in the civil governance of the Western Regions.

To put it bluntly, the way the Han people ruled the Western Regions was to let the countries of the Western Regions govern themselves, and the countries of the Western Regions provided the grain and grass of the Han army and paid tribute to the center of the Han family every year.

It's a tribute, it's really not a tax.

The method of endowment was that the kings and chieftains of the Western Regions sent labor to help the Han army stationed in the Western Regions build military facilities or participate in agricultural work.

"The big man will definitely not follow the old routine."

What Fan Jin said was that he would not leave kings, chiefs and other figures: "What the Han Dynasty wants in the Western Regions is the county system. ” In the past, the Han people did not think about governing the counties in the Western Regions, but it has always been unsuccessful, there are complicated situations in the Western Regions, and more importantly, the center of the Han family feels that the Western Regions are too far away, and the counties will be ruined in the Western Regions, and the cost of sending troops to sweep is so much that the treasury cannot support it, and in the end it can only be just thought.

The Western Han Dynasty, the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Wei, and the Western Jin Dynasty could not govern the counties in the Western Regions, and it was thousands of miles away from the Central Plains to the Western Regions.

Even if they are ruthless and willing to bear the attrition, they can only get a broken Western Regions in the end, or the kind of Western Regions that has been in rebellion.

"It's not the same time it used to be."

Li Kuangyou has a special understanding of the previous history, and knows that the ancestors are worried about consumption and retribution: "The Han Dynasty should learn the lessons of the past, and the facts have proved that if the counties are not governed, the Han people will never be able to truly control the Western Regions." ” The Han State even fought the Gupta Dynasty, which was tens of thousands of miles away, and would still worry about the Western Regions Of course, distance is still an unavoidable nuisance, but transportation consumption is not a problem at all.

Then there is the current rise of Han nationalism, and slave hunting is really addictive, and the Central Plains are all broken, and I am afraid that the Western Regions will be destroyed "It is precisely because of this that I didn't let those Shanshan tribal leaders come over."

Fan Jin always had a smile on his face, and the more he smiled, the more reserved he became: "We won't support a Shanshan king to come out, but Shanshan people can use it." ” The name adopted by the Han State when it entered the Western Regions was to recover the Western Regions, but in the eyes of the people of the Western Regions, it was another invasion by the Han people.

In fact, the Han people also knew that they were invading, and no one cared what name they used, but what they wanted was military exploits, wealth, and population.

Throughout history, Zhu Xia will find various names for their military operations, and try their best to avoid using the word "invasion", and other countries and nations have not avoided the word "invasion" when conducting cross-border military operations.

For example, during World War II, when the Allies launched a military operation from Britain to land in Europe and France, except for the French who used the word "liberation", the rest of the Allies used the word "invasion".

Among them, the U.S. military really did a full job of "invasion", and everywhere they went, they did their best to loot, even if it was an ordinary soldier who sent packages from Europe to the mainland every month, it was not enough at all, and the high-level specially increased the weight of the packages that soldiers could send.

The soldiers were like that, not to mention the planned looting of the army, which led to the reconquest of France, and the new French government did nothing but protest against the looting of France by the United States.

During World War II, it was not only France that protested against the Yankees' evacuation of countries, but also the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg and Germany.

Compared with the words "liberation" and "liberation", the use of "invasion" as the definition of military action is a practice of any country except Zhuxia, such as the United States has never been covered, and their subsequent definition of foreign wars is also "invasion", whether it is the Korean War, or the Vietnam War, the Yugoslav War, the Iraq War, and the Afghanistan War, they are all directly defined as "invasion", and the difference is that the "invasion" will be divided into anti-terrorist invasion, hostage rescue invasion and many other names.

Zhuxia is a more subtle nation, even if it is overbearing, it will be quite subtle, for example, the Western Han Dynasty named a distant country "Great Xia", which means that the comrades must be readmitted into the big family, and the place where the Han army crossed is of course to have a piece of "bathing in holy grace", and that process has been invading all the time.

After the Western Han Dynasty, a new trick was played, which was based on the Western Han Dynasty to come up with a tributary system, in which the Central Plains Dynasty canonized the official position of a national king or tribal leader in a certain place, indicating that the country and tribe had entered the Zhuxia system.

Then they all belong to the same banner, no matter what is the "family matter", even if it is to destroy a certain country or tribe, it is also to deal with household affairs, and no one should come to talk crookedly about Zhuxia's household affairs.

What if a certain country or tribe is unwilling to accept the official canonization, of course, it is nothing, from the emperor to the common people, they will feel that those guys are too stubborn, and they must be completely eliminated from the physical and mental aspects.

Liu Yan also pays attention to the strategy of compromise when he is internal, and he never intends to hide anything externally.

He has such a mentality and thoughts, and he is indeed putting it into action.

He's like this, and the people below don't have to consume brain cells, and they don't have to find any names for one war after another, anyway, whoever wants to do it, then it must be done directly, and then think about why they did it in the first place.

"Of course, you can't show your attitude directly."

Fan Jinle smiled: "The illusion of hope that should be given is still needed." ” The Han people need to lead the party in the Western Regions, and in many aspects, they also need to have the people of the Western Regions to cooperate in various ways, even if they want to kill, rob, and captive, they need to take steps.

"How to use Shanshan people is presided over by you."

Li Kuangcai didn't want to waste his energy on those complicated things, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Pay attention", and didn't say the rest of the words.

What Fan Jin understands is nothing more than paying attention to face, and there will never be any promise that falls into words, but it should be coaxed.

He went out of the tent and asked, "Who is Valug?"

and when he received a response, he beckoned, and then left with the people.

When Chi Zhelu stood outside the tent, he didn't even dare to move, and he had been standing still for nearly an hour.

He watched as Valug was led away by a scribe, and with a complicated look at the closed curtain with mixed eyes, there was both anticipation and apprehension.

The 5,000 Western Regions coalition troops brought by Rorschach did not compete with the Han army, and lost most of them, and only less than 1,000 people broke through.

Chi Zhelu saw the Han army dealing with the battlefield with his own eyes, and also saw the Han army converge and die in battle, and there was no intuitive impression of how many people died in the Western Regions, and the corpses collected by the Han army would definitely not exceed 100.

The coalition will be defeated, and naturally it will be due to the Chi Zhelu horse thieves and Shanshan people, but Chi Zhelu really doesn't feel that his credit is too big.

He later found out some news, the Weili people were defeated in the first battle, the Shule people only insisted on a round of charge, the Sogdians did not even resist and fled directly, the Qiuzi and Di people fled relatively late and were pursued all the way, and the rest of the horse thieves simply rebelled.

The coalition army was defeated too badly and too embarrassed, so that Chi Zhelu had enough cognition, even if they didn't rebel, the Han army would at most spend a little more effort, and there was no suspense about the victory or defeat of the war, so how dare they boast of any merit "Get in."

"Ahh "Lang will summon, go in" "Yes no, yes, no" Of course, Chi Zhelu was nervous, and after standing for a long time, his legs were numb, and his walking posture was very strange.

He didn't dare to raise his head from the moment he entered, and after taking a few steps inside, he knelt down and lay motionless on the ground.

"You said your name is Uncle Liu" Li Kuang was handling official business, did not stop writing, and did not raise his head: "Uncle is the ranking in the family, or is it a name" Chi Zhelu does have another name called Uncle Liu, but it has not been used for a long time.

He first straightened up his waist and bowed down again, and replied respectfully: "The eldest in the villain's family is the same as the Han family customs. ” That "Bo" is the ranking, not the name.

In addition, Li Kuang asked very professionally, asking "name" without saying "name".

Just because if you ask someone what their name is, if you use "name", you are asking "name" and "table character", and the person being asked should not only answer the "name" but also introduce his own "table character".

Li Kuang looked up at Chi Zhelu at this time, and saw Chi Zhelu's curly hair, so when he raised his head, he saw a face that was not much different from that of the Han people, that is, it was rough and a little bearded at the same time.

"The villain's grandfather was Han."

Chi Zhelu said respectfully: "Grandfather is a member of the army. ” Grandfather, that was at least a hundred years ago, and it should be the period when the Three Kingdoms were established, if he could go out of the northern frontier, there would be nothing else except Cao Wei.

At that time, whether it was Cao Wei, Shu Han or Eastern Wu, no one dared to say that they were not Han Chinese, no matter which country's army went out to fight, the alien race was also regarded as the Han army.

"Since you are Han, stand up."

Li Kuang smiled rarely, he didn't pay attention to it so much that he wanted to check it, it was impossible to find it at all: "You speak Chinese very well, you have a Xiliang accent, did you grow up in Xiliang since you were a child?"

Chi Zhelu didn't dare to hide that he did learn Chinese from Xiliang, but he didn't grow up in Xiliang.

He is just a person who has no fixed place, speaks Chinese with a Xiliang accent, and there are many Xiliang people in the horse thief team, or it should be said that there are people from Zhang's Liangguo.

"Oh" Li Kuang said to a person next to him: "Since there are people from the northwest in that team, let people verify it, and if there are military exploits, record it." ” Chi Zhelu was obviously stunned, and before he turned the corner, he was stunned, trying to understand what was going on.

He didn't dare to stop the Han army from annexing his horse thief group, and he was very envious that those people from the northwest would be counted for their military exploits.

"The Han Dynasty has recovered the Western Regions, and aspiring and talented people are welcome to serve."

Li Kuangcai didn't care what Chi Zhelu was thinking, and asked, "Since you have been running to the Western Regions all the year round, you know the terrain and mountains.

Since he is a descendant of the Han family, he is willing to serve the country."

"Yes, the villain is naturally willing" Chi Zhelu uh, no, there will only be Uncle Liu in the future, and there will be no Chi Zhelu.

He bowed down again, his face full of joy: "Serve the Son of Heaven and volunteer for the villain all his life, and I am willing to smear my liver and brains" Li Kuang nodded with a smile, waved his hand to let Uncle Liu out, and when Uncle Liu walked to the curtain, he said, "As a son of the Han family, I also go to record military exploits." ” Uncle Liu stopped, turned around and saluted Li Kuang, thanked him gratefully, and then walked out.

Li Kuang watched Uncle Liu's figure disappear before moving his gaze back to the case.

He actually didn't care whether Uncle Liu had Han blood or not, the first thing he cared about was Uncle Liu's understanding of the Western Regions as a horse thief, and then Uncle Liu's fluent Chinese.

The Han Kingdom is not a country that divides ethnic groups by blood now, and if you really want to do that, how to confirm the bloodline is a big problem, and there is no basis for how to identify it, you can only look at the general appearance, and then integrate it with culture.

"Fusion is still going to be integrated" Li Kuang put down his pen and looked at the top of the tent: "As long as the appearance is not so strange, they all belong to the objects that can be fused, and it is enough for those ethnic groups that look different from the Han people." ” At present, even if the Han people want to pull cannon fodder, not everyone can be cannon fodder:
