Chen Chengxiang is Chen Ping, who has six strange plans to help Gaozu unify the world.

During the siege of Pingcheng, Chen Ping offered advice and bribed Mao Dunshan to the Yan family, so that Gaozu was able to break the siege. It was he who offered advice and relatives and made good friends with the Huns. The two strategies before and after almost planned the trend of the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu for 400 years.

Whether it was forced in the early stage or favored in the later stage, harmony undoubtedly made the connection between the Xiongnu and the Han Dynasty closer and closer. The Southern Xiongnu went south, and the Northern Xiongnu fled far away, sowing the seeds of split.

The Han Dynasty has always had two parallel techniques of governing the country, the royal way and the domineering way.

There are many people who destroy the country without permission, and there are many people who move inward.

The Yue people went north, and the Xiongnu moved south. Continue to sinicize。

In the Han Dynasty, our civilization has always been unrestrained and open-minded. Eclectic. Two thousand years ago, we were a thousand years ahead of the world. Two thousand years later, we are a hundred years behind the world. To this day, we are catching up. It took us two thousand years for one thing.

Fusion.

There are no more Xiongnu, Nanyue, Qiang. Only China is unified. Our civilization has always been a cultural identity, and at most it is just a map cannon. But there are very few pedigree theorists. I never felt that skin color and race were signs of hierarchy.

The temperament of civilization was tempered and formed in the Han Dynasty. And originated from the ancient Yanhuang.

Silk Road. It is a sign of the prosperity of successive dynasties. Because. Whether it's an output or an input. We are all embracing the world again, merging and coexisting.

Chen Chengxiang's magic. Needless to say.

But Xi Zhicai thought.

The more sunny and handsome the appearance, the more vicious and vicious it will be. For example, my family, Chen Chengxiang.

Why?

It's simple. Sunlight is reflected from the outside. It didn't shine into the dark heart at all, wow!

Just kidding.

Nomads have no fixed place to live and no fixed concept of territory. Occupying the ancient city of Luyan is just coveting the abundance of water and grass here. It's not a pity to leave the camp now. Just be profitable.

Xi Zhicai and the eastern Xianbei adults who returned to their hometowns along the Shangjun Road said goodbye. This led to an alliance with the small Xianbei tribes in the west to continue eastward along the Yuyan River, heading to the former Qiuzi vassal state. Further northeast of the subject country of Qiuci is the Southern Xiongnu Royal Court, Meiji County.

The Qiang scouts roaming nearby followed for a while before turning back. Rush to return the letter.

Hexi Corridor.

The silk caravan was drawn again. Before leaving, the wealthy businessman ordered someone to close the door and reput the Luban lock. Save it for later use.

Little is known about last night's massacre. Except for a few businessmen who were reported, some people in the team did not know where to go. The journey to the west is difficult, and it is not uncommon for them to flee halfway. All the merchant had to do was return to the place of departure, sign the voucher and act according to the law.

And this trip is very profitable, and you must not lose a big one because of a small one. Therefore, even if it is known that someone is missing, the merchants will not press the table.

Out of Wuwei, the convoy arrived in Zhangye County.

Zhangye is located in the narrowest middle of the Hexi Corridor. It is named after "Zhang Guo's arm, in order to pass through the Western Regions".

In the second year of Yuanjia (121 years ago), Emperor Wu sent Huo to the west to conquer the west, and after defeating the Xiongnu, Zhangye County was established. Take the meaning of "breaking the arm of the Huns, Zhang Zhongguo's fold (armpit)". After taking this place, it is equivalent to the Han Court opening its arms and taking the Western Regions into its arms.

Very apt and expressive.

Conversation with Ma Yuanyi's carriage last night. Liu Bei did hide it.

It wasn't when he saw Ma Yuanyi that he knew that the ghost in Xianbei was Taiping Dao. Rather, there has been speculation for a long time.

Before you go. Jia Xu, the chief bookkeeper, and others found out when they read the robbery file sent by the officials of the Prefecture Assassin Prefecture. There is no pattern to follow in all the places where the crimes occurred; And the looted goods are very expensive. How did Xianbei plant the inner ghost in each caravan, how did the inner ghost know the details of the goods, and how did he report the news?

A seemingly chaotic and highly random robbery. But it made Liu Bei think of Lou Sang's robbery when he was young. The entire Cui family caravan participated. It was precisely because it was so unbelievable that Liu Bei remembered the old things many years ago. Know. Behind the robbery, there must be a transcendent force at work. That's Taiping Road.

It's not so much that Xianbei is choosing a caravan to start. It is better to say that it is the Taiping Dao believers in the caravan who decide whether to plunder or not.

In other words. Xianbei did not plant ghosts in the caravan. Rather, it is the Taiping Road that spreads all over the world, and it is haunting in secret.

It is because there are so many believers, and there are people from all walks of life. So when Taiping Dao gave an order, these believers, who usually looked like ordinary people, had quietly taken action.

Why do you need to plant ghosts?

The believers in the team only need to know the inside of the caravan and determine that the goods are precious, and they will secretly report the news. There are nearby believers who report to Qu Shuai and the generous leader layer by layer, and then inform the bald Xianbei. Even baldness is just a façade. Many major cases were secretly looted by Taiping Dao in the name of baldness. Afterwards, blame the bald department.

Why?

Money.

Whether it is building weapons, buying grain and grass, or even encircling anti-Han forces, important officials from all sides, and eunuchs of the imperial court, it requires a lot of money. From the robbery of the treasury when he was young, to the robbery of the donation of gold a year ago, and then to the caravan robbery of today. Even including Liang Ji's Jinshan robbery.

These robberies, which are either successful or failed, are all for money.

Presumably, it is not aimed at Liu Bei alone. All the believers in the world have received the holy oracle of the great sage and good teacher from the big and small canal commanders and generous leaders. So the balance of the world was moved. Raise money collectively.

Why did Xianbei join forces with the Qiang people. After that, there will be Taiping Road to add fuel to the fire.

The Qiang people and Xianbei both have blood feuds with the Han court. It's a natural ally. It is suitable to be taken in by Taiping Road for its own use. And so it is. In history, there were indeed Beigong Boyu and others who raised troops against the Han Dynasty, echoing the Taiping Road.

Liu Bei thought. The Liang Ji Jinshan theft case was committed by his son Liang Boyu. Now that I think about it, I still have a low vision.

There must be the participation of Taiping Dao behind it.

This time, because the caravan was unprecedented, and the goods sold were all high-value silk, it attracted the attention of Ma Yuanyi, a generous man of Taiping Road. This personally led the Yellow Turban Dead Soldier into the caravan, preparing to take advantage of the opportunity. But he inadvertently found that the leader of the team was a wealthy businessman, and he entered Liu Bei's carriage every day. Cause a surprise, and check it out for yourself. Unexpectedly, it was right in the middle. All of his men were shot. Knowing that he could not escape death, he decided to get into the car.

Shi Lian searched from the body of the dead man in the yellow turban, and the cinnabar contained in the bamboo tube. It's what they use as a code along the way. Cinnabar is an alchemy, and the smell is strong. All you need to do is borrow a local dog and chase along the way.

As for when to do it, Liu Bei found the answer in Ma Yuanyi.

A ringing arrow.

Unlike the Arrow. The arrow is tied to a small bamboo tube. The bamboo tube is wrapped with a fire rope and filled with saltpeter. When ignited, it will explode in the air to form a firework. This is the earliest flare. Especially at night, it is widely visible.

Presumably. The remnants of the Yellow Turban, bald and humble, were falling far behind the caravan. Waiting for Ma Yuanyi's signal.

If the signal is given at night, it will come and plunder when the day is about to be exposed.

Liu Bei invited a wealthy businessman to explain the details.

The corridors and mountains are all in my heart. The rich merchant pondered for a moment, and then said: "Yanzhi Mountain." ”
