The king's purpose of patrolling is generally to deter, that is to let some restless people converge, and then to appease the place.

Under normal circumstances, a powerful king has to go on a tour every few years. Seeing his own country with his own eyes is one aspect, and the other is to show control.

There are many kings who like to travel in history, but relatively few are remembered. Those kings who can be remembered are those who at least made indelible contributions to China, such as the first emperor of China, Yingzheng, the Western Han Dynasty. During the period of Xiaowu Emperor Liu Che, during the Yang Sui period, Sui Yang Emperor Yang Guang, the three kings worked hard to create more living space for the same descendant on the open frontiers. As for the emperors of the wild boar skin who like to play with women in the south of the Yangtze River, such as the guy who dares to claim that he is perfect without doing anything, it doesn't matter.

In addition to the powerful kings who like to travel, the founding kings will also travel frequently. Only a king who inherits his father's career and has no ambitions will be willing to stay in this small world of Miyagi. It is often difficult for the kings who have been nestled in Miyagi to do things that are helpful to the nation. It's not that they don't want or don't want to, it's just that their vision is so narrow.

The pre-Qin period and the Western Han Dynasty had one thing in common in cultivating heirs to the emperor, that is, heirs should not be blind.

Since Qin Xiaogong, the emperor of the Qin Kingdom has continued to let the heirs endure hardships among the people, so that the heirs have a thorough understanding of the people. When formulating the national policy, he was not entirely at the mercy of his ministers. He had his own opinions. This set of methods for cultivating heirs It really made Qin State a lot of Mingjun in succession.

The Western Han Dynasty did not train the prince as crudely as the pre-Qin Dynasty. The emperor of the Western Han Dynasty always let the prince go out of the palace. It was when Liu Che's prince Liu Shi was broken the training method. Facts also proved that a prince who had deep etiquette deep into his bones would not be liked by the emperor, and Liu Zheng was forced to rebel. What the emperor likes is not the absurdity of the prince, it is that there are so many heirs to the people to understand what country he is going to govern, and he will not let his courtiers say whatever they want.

What the king saw with his own eyes was far more intuitive than the description on the memorial. Liu Yan looked at the memorial before and saw that various places were recovering, but even if the description was detailed, I didn't know if he could believe it. He set off from Linzi to Wei Jun, and it took him two months, although he still looked roughly but had a more direct impression.

The season is about to turn into summer. During the two months, Han State did not take much action except focusing on farming and continuing to prepare for war. Not only Liu Yan ruled Han, but other countries basically did the same thing, that is, continue to prepare for war and pay attention to farming.

Wei Jun is more glamorous than the other counties that Liu Yan can see. That is the essence of most foreign races in Wei Jun. The racial vendetta in Wei Jun is far more intense than other places. Not only is there ruined walls everywhere, but also You can see the remains that have not been cleaned up.

Ran Min came from the front of Hukouguan to Yecheng thirty miles south to welcome Liu Yan's arrival.

The Han army on the northern line is currently in a confrontation with Shijie Zhaojun. The main place of confrontation is within the jurisdiction of Shangdang County. One is Huguan and the other is Hukouguan.

In fact, according to the administrative division of Shijie and Zhao State, Shangdang County is a part of Binzhou. Shi Hu didn't want to hurt the vitality of the Jie clan. He repeatedly avoided the war and wanted to consolidate his residence in Bingzhou and Shuozhou. The Huguan and Hukouguans in Shangdang County were specially operated.

From the map, Huguan and Hukouguan are separated by hundreds of miles. They are both located in the northwest of Taihang Mountain. Behind the two places is a relatively flat terrain. The large mountain area is the Yehu Mountain. Due to the existence of the great lake of Jiuze, there are many tributaries in the surrounding water system, and the Hu people deliberately create barren all year round. The aquatic plants in most parts of the state are very rich, which is a good place for nomads to graze.

Binzhou was a large state when Shijie and Zhao were divided, including Shangdang County, Wuxiang County, Taiyuan County, Yongshi County, Pingyang County, and Dingxiang County, covering a very wide range.

Not to mention Shuozhou, the land is the entire Hetao area. The prefectures and counties established by the Han family were basically abandoned, but a Shuofang county unit was retained by Shijie. There are a large number of mixed-blood Huns and miscellaneous Hus within its jurisdiction.

After the Han army went northward, they took about two-thirds of Shangdang County's territory. There were not many places that could prevent the Han army from continuing to go northward from Shangdang County. The importance of Huguan and Hukou Pass was also highlighted. Hu had to use some Shanxi ministers and generals, after all, Hu people are really not that good at pass defense.

"The minister tried several offensives but failed." Ran Min looked very energetic. He didn't seem to think much about Liu Yan coming in person. After reporting some situations, he began to talk about how to continue to compete with Shi Jie and Zhao Guo: "garrison. The Huguan is Yinong, an old treacherous and cunning man. The Hukou pass is Zhang Yun, who has not mentioned the generals for generations, but also has a good command of the defensive pass."

That is, Ran Min, facing the winter when the non-combat loss would be very serious, he still thinks about attacking, and the traditional general is thinking about how to avoid the non-combat loss.

According to intelligence, the Shijie Zhao army stationed at Huguan has 80,000 soldiers, with about 20,000 Jie people as the main force, and the rest are from Qiang, Di, Zahu, and Jin.

The Shijie Zhaojun who defended Hukou Pass was only 30,000 at the beginning. After Ran Min personally arrived, Shihu increased his troops. The current defenders at Hukou Pass are as many as 160,000. The Jie Ren tribe alone has 70,000 soldiers. .

Liu Yan came to Wei Jun this time with the main purpose of beating Ran Min, so as not to make him feel embarrassed to the death of both sides. Before he saw Ran Min, he didn't know how many people had mentioned vaguely that he should beware, and his inner thoughts would inevitably be slightly influenced. After he saw Ran Min, Ran Min looked at nothing unusual except for being too excited, and the surveillance personnel did not report any doubts. He said that he was not pleased that it was false. .

Standing on the side, Miao Song heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Liu Yan's expression. Ran Min was going to greet him with great fanfare, but he was persuaded to come down. If tens of thousands of powerful troops really appeared, the scene would be huge, and the consequences would definitely be hard to say.

Since Ran Min took the post of General West to the north, he first entered Wei County and captured Ye City, and then conquered Guangping County to capture Xiang Country. The honor he should have gained is enough. The title has also reached the twelfth level of the left, which is much higher than those who followed Liu Yan in the early days, and is definitely the highest ranking person in the Han country.

The first person in the Han Dynasty did something that did not go through the brain. Facing some local investors, it was inexhaustible. Within a short period of time, the force under the Shogunate of General Zhengxi was reduced from 110,000 (war damages). 30,000) expanded to 440,000. Although the act of recruiting local young men as soldiers was obtained with the consent of the king and the permission of the central government in advance, Ran Min's actions were too grand and unscrupulous, and it was abnormal to not be jealous.

Because of Ran Min’s character, even Jiang Gan, Miao Song, Liu Yi, Dai Shi and others who were his retainers didn’t know where to start to persuade, and again, it’s useless to know that persuading is useless. What they can do is Urge Ran Min to converge on some details.

"To accept the people as soldiers is to give them food." Ran Min said directly to Liu Yan that the army under the Shogunate of General Zhengxi was too large. He didn't seem to think of much. One said: "The chaos caused by the racial vendetta is too great. Non-governmental output is completely cut off, and there is no way to distribute grain for no reason, and to find a way for them to harvest for their own use, and then they will really need manpower."

Liu Yan will mention it bluntly because it is clear that Ran Min doesn't understand the corners. If you say it is false, you will not talk about how it will be understood. I am afraid it is useless to say it. He still appreciates Ran Min's military talents. For some special reasons, he doesn't want to develop to the point where he can kill the donkey. So it's really necessary to talk about it.

Facing the emperor’s blunt question, Ran Min said the facts nonchalantly, but the face of the person listening next to him kept changing.

For example, Ji Chang and Sang Yu felt complicated when they saw Liu Yan's attitude towards Ran Min. They had a very bad impression of Ran Min, and they did not take precautions either publicly or secretly.

Jiang Gan, Miao Song, Liu Yi, Dai Shi and some of Ran Min’s retainers had more exciting expressions on their faces. There was shock and joy in their eyes as they changed constantly. It was because they saw that Liu Yan didn’t have much to Ran Min. The tendency to kill.

"Speaking of it, why didn't you put food?" Ran Min didn't know whether it was really stupid or fake. The order was given, and they desperately killed the Huren in exchange for food, and it was also the Humen who robbed them of food in order to live more comfortably."

Racial vendettas within the Han realm were strictly controlled, while the area that originally belonged to Shijie Zhao’s jurisdiction was completely out of control. After Jin people became Han people, they caught the Hu people and killed them for fun.

The Hu people in the Central Plains are not said to be rich. They cannot lack food at home or grazing animals. After the Han people re-emerge, it is one aspect to vent their long-lasting resentment. It is the new Han people who use the head of the Hu people to exchange merits, materials and robbery. main job.

Liu Yancai will not answer why the grain is not distributed. Another part of the system is that killing people in exchange is already a measure. Besides, there are corvee labor to provide food and drink.

"The feuds among the Hu people are also very serious?" Liu Yan was more interested in this, and asked: "They keep fleeing outside the Han realm, and killing each other is not one of the few?"

"The king is right." Ran Min was a little excited when he said this: "After many Hu species killed each other, they took the first level to ask for a reward, and the minister selectively agreed to some..."

There were nearly three million Hu people in Sizhou before. From the first month of the third year of Yuanshuo to April of the fourth year of Yuanshuo, there were basically no Hu people in Sizhou. In addition to the deaths of more than three million Hu people, it was the revenge of the Han people. In fact, most Hu people killed each other during their migration. Regardless of how they died, one or two million deaths would definitely occur.

Sizhou is the largest state inhabited by Hu people. It was determined by the state policy of Shijie and Zhao. For example, the surrounding area of ​​Xiang State was entrenched in millions, and Yecheng once lived in close to one million. Other Hu people such as Jizhou, Bingzhou, Youzhou, and Shuozhou do not live together like Sizhou, they are scattered everywhere.

"It's a pity that the officials fled." Seeing Liu Yan raised his brows, Ran Min said of course: "Let's kill ourselves to relieve our hatred. We must kill more for the people so that we can restore our bravery."

Speaking of Wu Yong's heart, the re-emergence of hemorrhagic Han people is really a bit fierce. The territory controlled by the Han army is full of killing people. In places not controlled by the Han army, the local people are also killing people after the outbreak. There are still people. Take the first level to the Han Realm in exchange for rewards.

The reason why the central government recognized Ran Min's army expansion was mainly because it did not want to attack the blood and courage of the people. The war between the Han and foreign races will continue, and it is not known how long it will last. The people are more brave than cowardice.

Talking all the way, Liu Yan came to the outside of Yecheng, and what he saw was a dense crowd outside the towering city wall.

Yecheng is a big city and the second city that Shihu attaches the most importance to. After repeated strengthening, the height of the city wall has reached five feet. The chaotic distribution of dwellings in the city is no different from other cities. Most of the areas are built by palaces, even There are corresponding chapter stands and pavilions outside the city.

When Wang Qi approached, all the people were yelling and cheering long ago, waiting for Liu Yan to arrive, and their eyes swept away. They didn't know who was taking the lead, and then they all bowed to the ground.

Facing the emperor and bowing down, the first emperor started his head~lightnovelpub.net~ or bowed his head before the Qin Dynasty. What the first emperor did was to deter the survivors of the six countries and to strengthen the majesty, and the subsequent emperors continued this system.

Liu Yan didn't want to do anything that would destroy the customs, and making the people in awe of the people was something that rulers would do. Facing the black crowd, he watched in silence for a long time, waved Wang Nian before moving on.

Yes, Liu Yan did not have the need to speak publicly to the people. It was not that he was not close to the people, but that some behaviors could not be done by the king. In addition, the king really cherishes the people and it is not just a show. When governing the country, it is the right thing to think about the people.

Wang Nian disappeared in the city gate, and the cheers began to resound through the world again. The people actually didn't see Liu Yan's true face. All they could see was the king flag, and then the guards and others accompanying him. Even if it was just like this, it was enough for them to brag with their children and grandchildren.

The **** is made up of the imperial guards and some meritorious children. It is absolutely magnificent and will not disappoint the people who see it.

The city wall of Yecheng is high enough, and correspondingly, the base is also wide. The thickness of the city wall should be about six feet. If you look out of the city gate and look into the city, the most striking thing is the group of palaces that can be seen at a glance... …R
