The situation suddenly became extremely complicated, now the Rouran clan is represented by Manichaeism in Yizhou, after the next move, it is Shuchuan chess, the former is playing the banner of the previous dynasty, the latter is playing the banner of the old Shu country, the former uses Manichaeism to have a rebellious heart, and the latter uses Shuchuan people to have grievances, if these two chess are successful, I dare not say that Dahua is completely captured, but at least two puppet regimes are created from the inside, thinking of this, I suddenly feel a little uncomfortable, is a feeling of both fear and confusion.

Gu Bi sighed abruptly: "I thought about one thing the night before yesterday and couldn't figure it out, with the strength of the Rouran clan now, it can directly take the capital of Dahua, and there is no need to divide it from the inside, if it is for the sake of conservatism, only one Manichaean can contain the Dahua army, but after thinking about it carefully, the Rouran clan seems to be in no hurry to capture Dahua." ”

This sentence caused Shen Feng to think deeply, with the previous thoughts, the Rouran clan wanted to use Manichaeism to create civil strife to contain the Dahua army, and then storm the Dahua capital, but what if Rouran didn't plan to do so, or had greater ambitions.

"Miss Gu, as far as you know, does the Rouran clan already have the strength to directly take the Dahua Capital?"

Gu Biluo's brows furrowed tightly, and her face showed a faint blankness: " The Rouran tribe has been expanding at an unimaginable speed over the years, annexing the small tribes outside the Saiwai, the strength has long been beyond imagination, and it is difficult for me to estimate, this is my incomprehension, the Rouran tribe has expanded over the years, still conquering the tribes on the grassland who do not obey them, but it is not that they are unable to invade Dahua, five years ago, a number of wars broke out outside the Saiwai, when Rouran expanded to the north, another large tribe on the grassland united several parts to launch a war against the Rouran tribe, and then the Rouran tribe was still a big victory, the territory expanded hundreds of miles after the First World War, and now they are even stronger and stronger, they can directly take the capital of Dahua, in terms of military strength, the Rouran tribe is far better than DahuaIn terms of generals, there are even four generals, and if they attack, it is not impossible to win-alas, I can only sit and watch the changes, I really can't figure it out. ”

sighed and continued: "Now I can only guess two situations, one is the earliest guess, the Rouran clan wants to use Manichaeism to contain Dahua's forces in order to attack Dahua, and the other is to take Hanzhong Guanzhong into Sichuan to dominate the side. ”

Shen Feng said: "If neither of these two situations is the case, or the Rouran clan has greater ambitions, the first situation is to directly take the capital of Dahua and capture the capital of Dahua, but this is just a massacre and plunder, the two sides will only sit down and negotiate with the station, the second situation is the hegemonic side, since there is the strength to capture and invade Dahua, why not directly change the dynasty, I suddenly have a bold idea! That is, the third possibility." ”

Gu Biluo frowned and said, "You say!"

"The Rouran people know that the capture of Dahua will also be kicked out by our Han people, our Han people have thousands of years of civilization, which has been deeply rooted in this land, civilization and region are closely connected, the Han people will never tolerate foreign occupation of this land, even if the court is incompetent and defeated, these thousands of Han people will also kick out the foreign people, so even if the Rouran people capture Dahua and force Dahua to hand over the power and change the dynasty, they will definitely not rule on this land for too long, and sooner or later the Han people will beat them back to the grassland. This idea is too ambitious, and few people don't know whether he is right or not, but Shen Feng has a basis for saying this, in the previous history, the Mongols were also very strong, but the time to rule the Central Plains was very short, only less than a hundred years, as for Manchukuo, Manchuria and the Han people had greater exchanges, and Manchukuo was more thorough than the Mongols in cultural invasion, trying to control the Han people ideologically, but there were still Han people who stood up against the imperial court.

Gu Biluo said confusedly: "What do you want to say?"

Shen Feng took a long breath and said solemnly: "The third possibility in my heart is that the Rouran clan wants to completely rule the Han people. ”

Gu Biluo couldn't help but glance at him and said, "This doesn't mean that you haven't said it, if the Rouran clan doesn't want to rule over us Han people, why do you want to do these things." ”

Shen Feng smiled bitterly: "I just want to emphasize that if the Rouran clan wants to completely rule our Han people, the only way is to divide first and then unify!"

"Divide first, then unify the ?!" Gu Biluo was shocked by his idea, this idea is really bold, even the Rouran clan dare not imagine, such a bold move, it is simply incredible, if the Central Plains is in chaos, maybe some other countries that are eyeing each other have a chance to take advantage of it, and in the Rouran clan, someone can plan this move, this person must have the absolute right to speak in the Rouran clan, and he must have confidence beyond ordinary people, otherwise how dare he play with the world at will.

"Yes, first differentiate, then unify!" Shen Feng himself is also a different person, he is now considering the problem from a perspective of thousands of years away, and the assumptions he puts forward must be very bold, but he is also guessing about the current situation.

Gu Biluo was a little unacceptable for a while, his face was solemn, and his tone was excited: "No one dares to imagine like you, even the people of the Rouran clan dare not have such an idea as you, first differentiate, and then unify, appalling-appalling! First divide and then unify, do you know how many variables there are after differentiation, and do you know how difficult it is when you want to unify again!"

Shen Feng smiled bitterly: "I know, this is just my assumption, do you think there is not even a trace of possibility?"

Gu Biluo shook his head blankly and said, "No, it's possible, but it's also the most impossible, you tell me your reasons first." "For some reason, when I heard these six words, I was intuitively shocked, and I didn't feel ridiculous, could it be that I began to trust him?

Shen Feng said: "The reason is very simple, but it can also be said that there is no evidence, the Rouran people supported Manichaeism, let Manichaeism under the banner of the previous dynasty, divide Yizhou, this is the first point, after entering Sichuan, and then instigate the people of Shuchuan, let the people of Shu rise up, this is the second point, the Jurchen tribe that once Dahua drove out of the northeast, as long as it is used a little, it will also take advantage of the chaos, this is the third point, and the fourth point, which I am not sure of!"

Gu Biluo looked at him and blurted out: "The land of the four sides - Hanzhong!"

Shen Feng nodded and said: "That's right, Hanzhong, the place where Xiahou Tu's clan once ruled, if this place is also divided, it will be driven from four directions to the Central Plains, Dahua can only be forced to the southeast, when the world is in chaos, the Rouran clan can sweep the world under the banner of Fuhua, so it is unified, so it is the division of justice, and the Han people will experience troubled times, they will be relieved to succumb to the rule of the powerful Rouran clan, and they may be grateful to the Rouran clan, and there will be no more resistance from now on." ”

I don't know if I was afraid of being shocked, Gu Biluo's heart pounded violently, and he shook his head in disbelief and said: "These words are too terrifying, no one has been able to unify the world like this since ancient times, no one has ever done this for thousands of years, and no one has the confidence and strategy to do this." From beginning to end, she only said that no one could do it, but she did not say that it was impossible, and seemed to think that it was possible, even if it was one in ten thousand, it was terrifying.

"I'm just guessing, and I know it's the least likely. Shen Feng also knew that these words were a little too bold, even if he dared to think about it, no one dared to do it, but Gu Biluo's face did not relax, as if he was carefully considering the possibility of these words.

Shen Feng turned to say, "Can you tell me more about Hanzhong?"

Gu Biluo nodded and said: "The Qinling Mountains and the Daba Mountains and the Hanshui River Valley form the main body of Hanzhong's topography, and the two mountain ranges stand parallel to each other, stretching from east to west, and Hanzhong is sandwiched between them. There is Wuguan at the east end of Qinling, there is Sanguan at the west end, and there are three other valley roads, which can be the passage between Hanzhong and Sichuan, they are Bao Slope Road, Fu Luo Road, Meridian Road. Between Hanzhong and Shuchuan, there are also two valley roads that cross the Daba Mountains: the Jinniu Road and the Micang Road. Hanzhong is sandwiched between the two upper reaches of Guanzhong and Shuchuan, and the degree of stakes is far from being comparable to that of the Huai River in the east. There are still vast areas to maneuver in the north and south of the Huaihe River, but there is no room for maneuver in the Hanzhong region, and the gains and losses of the north and the south in the Hanzhong region are often enough to have a decisive impact, and the gains and losses of the operation in the Hanzhong region from the founding of the Shu Han Dynasty to the destruction of the Han Dynasty are more typical of the importance of Hanzhong's position between the north and the south. ”

"The interests between the north and the south in Hanzhong are so stale, but the world stretching from east to west is very vast, and the lowlands of the West Han River Valley provide a relatively flat passage from Hanzhong to Longxi. The topography of Longxi is significantly higher than that of Guanzhong and Shuchuan, and it is more difficult to attack Longxi from Guanzhong and Sichuan, but it is easier to attack Zhongzhong and Shuchuan from Longxi, which provides an idea for the contenders in Hanzhong and Guanlong: instead of fighting for a short day in the north and south of the Qinling Mountains, it is better to take the distance to fight for Longxi and obtain a geographically advantageous situation. ”

"If it extends from the Hanzhong area to the southeast, the terrain on both sides presents a striking symmetry, the Qinling Mountains extend to the east and then turn to the north, connecting with the Bear's Ear Mountain, Kunshan Mountain, Huashan Mountain and other mountains, forming the Tongguan Danger; Daba Mountain extends to the east and then turns to the south, connecting with Wudang Mountain, Jingshan Mountain, Wushan Mountain and other mountains, forming the Three Gorges Danger. These dangers were the geographical basis for Sichuan and Shaanxi to form the "land of abundance," but they also caused difficulties for the eastward expansion of the Sichuan and Shaanxi forces to a certain extent. In this way, when the east and west are in a stalemate in the Three Gorges or Tongguan frontal stalemate, the western forces can go out of Hanzhong to open the stalemate from the flank, and the Yangtze River and the Han River cooperate to open the frontal stalemate of the Three Gorges. ”

"No matter which corner of the political force is, the gains and losses of operating on both wings are enough to determine its rise and fall, and enough to determine whether it can get rid of the hegemonic pattern and expand outward. Managing the two wings well can consolidate its defensive posture in terms of defense, and in terms of attack, it can encircle the Central Plains and forge ahead in the world. ”

Speaking of this, Gu Biluo suddenly said: "If according to your assumption, if the Rouran clan wants to be unified, you must first cut off one side of the two wings of Guanzhong, the two wings are Hanzhong and Shanxi, and the other side is Yizhou, these happen to be the forces cultivated by the Rouran clan, as long as these forces cultivate their own people and conquer these places, it will not be difficult, although your idea is bolder, but it is not impossible to think deeply, I hope that what you think will never happen." ”

Shen Feng said with a smile: "I'd rather it happen, so that the Rouran clan won't attack Dahua for the time being, and Dahua will have more time to deal with it." ”

"Do you want to have more time to enjoy yourself-" Gu Bi glanced at him, and then sighed: "If Manichaeism is destroyed and Shuchuan is bent on joining Dahua, this idea will be shattered, and the Rouran clan is very likely to invade on a large scale and attempt to rule Dahua by coercive means." ”

Alas, speaking of which, war is inevitable, Shen Feng stood up, stretched his waist, and then said goodbye to her, maybe he had a new understanding of the situation, and he was not in the mood to talk to her anymore, so he returned to the camp and rested.
