Chapter 419: The Strength of the Rouran Clan

The next day, it was still the usual daily training, but there were some more exercises of formations and orders, and soon half a month passed, and the army had half a month left before it was about to rise out of camp.

On this day, the training was called by Gu Biluo at dusk, there were two horses outside the barracks, Gu Biluo was already sitting on one of the horses, and the other horse was Shen Feng's special car, Chi Feng, no one dared to ride this fierce horse, and there was a more daring soldier who wanted to ride it before, but he was thrown on a big heel.

"Miss Gu, where are we going this night?" Shen Feng walked over and touched Chi Feng's head, and Chi Feng turned his head without buying it.

"Hurry up and get on the horse, before tomorrow, you must arrive!" Gu Biluo was dressed lightly, riding on a horse, and showing some flexible heroic posture.

It is estimated that you can go back to Huizhou tonight, Shen Feng turned over and got on his horse, and rode neatly on a fierce horse, the two of them first ran north for dozens of miles, and then turned the horse's head to go south, and the two came to Shengzhou City together.

"Finally back!" Standing at the gate of the city, he felt a familiar atmosphere, and he missed the euphemism in the city in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Miss Gu, when will the city gate open, I want to meet someone." ”

"You used to live in Shengju, why don't you even know when the city gate will open, and it will be opened in half an hour, so wait here first. After running all night, her face showed no fatigue, and there were no traces of wind and sand pollution, and her goose-egg-shaped face was still white and red, like the morning glow reflected on the snow.

Well, that's because I never got up early, and I don't know when the city gate will open, the ancient people got up earlier than the chickens, went to the farmland in the morning, went out of the house at about four or five o'clock in the morning, and knew that they would go back at night, so there is nothing wrong with praising ancient China with diligence and simplicity, and these four words have always been the oldest cultural spirit in China.

Shen Feng turned around and said, "Is there someone following us along the way?"

Gu Biluo said: "It's me who has taken extra care, this trip must be kept absolutely confidential, and no one should know his whereabouts." ”

Shen Feng said: "According to our speed, I'm afraid no one can keep up, you see that your horses are about to run and collapse, if they follow us, they will be discovered long ago." ”

"The army is not a safe place, and in the past half a month, a few people have been paying attention to me, so I should be careful. Gu Biluo snorted lightly, looked at an old city wall in front of him, and said leisurely: "I don't know why the emperor prefers here, is it because of the charming kabuki and sheng flute here night and night." ”

Shen Feng said with a smile: "So the dynasties where the capital is located here have all perished, and the country that covets comfort will not last long." ”

"I didn't expect to say that from your mouth. The corners of Gu Biluo's mouth flashed a shallow smile, and his expression fell into reflection: "Dahua has an ancestral motto that the capital should not be built in the south of the Yangtze River, when Emperor Kaizu laid down a piece of the country, he set up the capital in the capital, at that time the capital was attacked on three sides, but Emperor Kaizu did not retreat or avoid, and opened up the territory with a dangerous situation, and expanded Dahua upwards for hundreds of miles until the outside of the fortress, thinking that if Emperor Kaizu built the capital in a comfortable and prosperous place, it would inevitably consume ambitions. ”

For this period of history, Shen Feng is blank, but this kind of argument is very much in line with his appetite, if the emperor is greedy for comfort and pleasure, then the country will inevitably decline, the emperor can have no ambition, but not without ambition, focus on the world, in order to rule the world.

"What about the Rouran clan at that time?"

Gu Biluo said indifferently: "At that time, the Rouran clan was only a small tribe, it was not worth mentioning at all, everyone on the grassland was terrified of Dahua, if Emperor Kaizu was willing, the grassland had been classified into Dahua, but it was a barren land outside the Saiwai, rather than taking it, it was better to deter it." She had a faint disdain and excitement with her, as if she was imagining that she was in that glorious past.

There was still some time before the city gate opened, and Shen Feng was suddenly very interested in the development of the Rouran Clan, so he asked, "The Rouran Clan was just a small tribe a hundred years ago, why did it develop into the current scale?"

Gu Biluo sighed, and asked instead, "What period in our history do you think the ruling method on the grassland resembles?"

Shen Feng thought for a while and said: "This is the case during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, everyone wants to compete for the overlord, and brothers pass on the throne to each other, this form of tribe can also be traced back to the Yan and Huang periods, but after Emperor Yan found a solution to the problem of food and clothing, he let the tribe settle down, and the tribes on the grassland still have to shepherd sheep everywhere and hide from the wind and rain." ”

Gu Biluo nodded and said, " Yes, since Qin Shi Huang unified the six countries, in the imperial court to create the emperor system, the implementation of the three princes and nine qing, control of national affairs, the local abolition of the feudal system, replaced by the county system, at the same time the same text, the same track, unified weights and measures, the north to attack the Xiongnu, the south to conquer the hundred Yue, the construction of the Great Wall, the construction of the spiritual canal, communication with the flow of water, since our land is completely unified, the reason why the Qin Emperor built the Great Wall, is not only to resist foreign enemies, but also not to let the barbarian land learn our advanced culture, the reason why the tribes on the grassland are difficult to develop, the internal contradictions of each tribe, can fight against foreign enemies together, but can not be unified as a governmentThis is the biggest crux of the grassland ruling system, the grassland is seriously divided, and it can only plunder the Central Plains for thousands of years, but it cannot pose a danger to the Central Plains.

Speaking of this, he sighed softly and said: "A few decades ago, there was a legendary woman in the Rouran tribe, who felt pity for the people on the grassland who suffered from hunger and cold, so she pushed the tribal leaders at that time to implement the Central Plains system and culture, and strictly rectified the Rouran tribe, and then there is now a powerful Rouran tribe. ”

"Now the Rouran clan is similar to the Central Plains ruling system, the strength of other tribes on the grassland is far from it, all of them are subservient, some small tribes are taking the initiative to vote, these years the Rouran clan is integrating these small tribes, and when the integration is completed, the Rouran clan will become more powerful. ”

The land has swelled so much, and it has raised ambitions, and now that the Rouran tribe has fought in Russia, and they have also gone to India before, do they still want to conquer the world? Shen Feng couldn't help but feel a chill and asked, "Haven't the Great Chinese people developed in these years, and the Rouran tribe is growing stronger?"

Gu Biluo sighed: "Naturally people discovered, but for thousands of years we look down on the tribes on the grassland, in the prosperous period of Dahua, the big tribes on the grassland are all subservient to Dahua, when the Rouran clan is strong, everyone says that there is nothing to worry about, until more than 20 years ago, there was Shu Wanggui led the army to attack the Rouran tribe, before the invincible General Shu arrived on the grassland but ushered in a fiasco, after the defeat of Shu Wanggui, there were villains in the court to frame General Shu, causing General Shu to be demoted to Ba County, and then he was killed by traitors. ”

Speaking of General Shu's tragic death, he sighed and said: "Since the defeat of General Shu, in fact, everyone in the court and China knows the strength of the Rouran clan, and since then they have not dared to send troops to attack, and the Rouran clan is at ease to grow in the grassland, and now the Rouran clan does not know how strong it is, Dahua 20 years ago is several times stronger than today, General Shu 20 years ago could not defeat the Rouran clan, how easy it is to talk about it today - how easy it is to talk about it!"
