Chapter 610: Liangzhou Sanming

It is said that Zhang set up wine late at night to entertain Zheng Xuan, a master of scripture who was in the dust. During the banquet, Zheng Xuan just picked up some coarse tea and light rice, showing his simple nature. However, in the middle of the conversation, he talked about a grand theory, the so-called unity of heaven and earth, heaven and man, and the imperial power is on the side, and the villain is in charge, Zhang Ji said with a look of surprise, and hurriedly asked who Zheng Xuan said about who the villain in the world was.

Zheng Xuan didn't seem to hear it, his face was calm and flat, he only stood up and bowed his hand slightly: "Full of wine and food, full of affection." Tonight people are sleepy, let me rest all night, and then sit down tomorrow and talk. Without looking back, he walked towards the hall.

Several entourages were already waiting under the corridor, Zhang Ji quickly stood up and sent him out, Zheng Xuan was not polite, jumped into the carriage, and left surrounded by guards. Zhang Ji stood at the door in a daze, and couldn't help but reach out and touch the back of his head, the temper of this master of scripture is really hard to figure out.

Zheng Xuan's inn is on the bank of the Wei River not far from the Tianshui Gang, and the guards around are the responsibility of the Tianshui Gang. As the guest and host of the main venue, Ma Yunluo has already greeted her at the door of the inn, this girl is in good spirits, and she is not haggard because of the hard work during the day, showing the temperament of ice and snow beauty. Zheng Xuan was invited by Ma Yunluo, but why Zheng Xuan was willing to give face like this has always been a mystery. According to everyone's speculation, Zheng Xuan has traveled to study and lecture in recent years, and he just planned to go to Xiliang this time, otherwise Ma Yunluo is a small Tianshui gang leader, where does he have such a big face? However, some people speculate that Ma Yunluo's master and Zheng Xuan's master have long had a divine relationship, so they were able to invite this master of scripture in the world, and to control Ma Yunluo at the lecture conference to compete for the qualifications of martial arts and recruit relatives, and select the world's heroes and talents who are both civil and military for Ma Yunluo.

Although there are different opinions, Zheng Xuan's arrival in Tianshui still caused a great sensation in the Han Dynasty, which had a strong style of learning and paid attention to the rule of the world, even in the last years of the Han Dynasty, which was full of flames. It can be said that there are thousands of miles from Beihai to Tianshui, but Zheng Xuan's fans are everywhere, and the little servant team has not been left behind, which can be seen.

Before the sky dawned, Zheng Xuan's supporters were already outside the cordon of the inn, forming a landscape, quite like the scene of the fan meeting now, but most of them were young scholars from poor families, and their dream was of course to become Zheng Xuan's official apprentice, but they were not talents in a thousand, or they were not the children of everyone in the world, I am afraid they would not enter Zheng Xuan's eyes. Thousands of troops crossed the single-plank bridge, ancient and modern.

Historically, Xiliang refers to the Huangshui Basin of Gansu, Ningxia and Qinghai provinces, which is relatively remote in geographical location, complex and changeable, sitting on various deserts, mountains, Gobi, etc., and is located in the extreme of the cold in the West, so it has the title of Xiliang. Therefore, culturally speaking, it also belongs to the desert in the culture, and it is a world of difference compared to the profound culture of the Central Plains. Zheng Xuan's arrival in Xiliang simply brought cultural sweetness to Xiliang, so he was especially valued and welcomed by the culturally hungry people.

Tianshui, as the closest big city to Chang'an, just undertakes the role of this cultural docking center. In the official history, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, three outstanding military generals who belonged to the ancient Liangzhou people: Huangfu Gui, Zhang Huan and Duan Cheng, in the battle against the Qiang people, the Huangfu Gui word Weiming, Zhang Huan's word Ranming, and Duan Cheng's word Jiming, because the three of them have a "Ming" word, and they are all famous in the governance of Qiang, so they are called "Liangzhou Sanming" by the world. These three people have had outstanding achievements in the war against the Qiang, and they also have a high reputation among the Qiang people. However, the three were divided into two camps when it came to suppression. Huangfu Gui and Zhang Huan agreed with "Fu", while Duan Cheng agreed with "Suppression".

The appeasement approved by Huangfu Gui and Zhang Huan was actually based on military intimidation, migrating the subdued Qiang tribes to Guannei and spreading them among the Han people, so that they could change from a nomadic life to a farming life and assimilate the Qiang people's living habits. And Duan Cheng's suppression was genocide. When Duan Cheng was serving as the captain of the Qiang Protector, he destroyed more than a dozen small Qiang tribes. For large tribes like Xian Ling, the method of gradual encroachment is also adopted, reducing their numbers.

In the short term, Duan Cheng's method is indeed effective, but in the long run, Huangfu Gui and Zhang Huan's approach is more thorough. However, it is a pity that the Han court has been vacillating and does not have a fixed domestic ethnic policy, which makes Huangfu's method of regulating Zhang Huan ineffective, and Duan Cheng's method is also opposed by the majority of scholars because it is too bloody. It was precisely because of this hesitation of the imperial court that the Qiang Rebellion became an important reason for the fall of the Han Dynasty.

In peacetime, the Qiang Rebellion can be subdued, and local forces do not dare to make trouble, and once the Central Plains is in turmoil, Xiliang will naturally be restless. The Qiang Rebellion ran through the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the state spent hundreds of billions of dollars on the Qiang, but could not completely pacify Liangzhou, and finally could only rely on the issuance of a large number of copper coins to solve the financial problems, causing a series of subsequent problems, and finally making the country weaker and weaker.

Moreover, the Qiang Rebellion is not a simple internal problem of the country, and it is likely that there is also the shadow of the Xiongnu. Because Qiang was once a vassal of the Xiongnu, and the Qiang people also established their own power during the Andi period, coupled with the military strategy factors of Liangzhou, it is not impossible for the Xiongnu to secretly incite and support the Qiang rebellion. Therefore, the root cause of the Qiang chaos in the Eastern Han Dynasty is a comprehensive reflection of the Han-Hungarian dispute and the independence of the Qiang people.

After "Liangzhou Sanming", during the period when Chen Long crossed, the ethnic minority tribes in Liangzhou also rebelled together with the momentum of the Yellow Turban Uprising in the Central Plains, which was known as the Liangzhou Rebellion. The ethnic minorities conquered the city and had great power, and even Han Sui, the overseer of Liangzhou, was held hostage to join the rebels, which became the starting point for the establishment of the Western Liang Army during the so-called Three Kingdoms period.

The Xiliang Army soon grew to more than 100,000 people, occupying most of Liangzhou, and then marched into Chang'an in the name of the eunuchs, defeating Huangfu Song, Zhang Wen, Dong Zhuo, Sun Jian and other troops, but it was difficult to succeed in hard fighting, and finally retreated to the upper reaches of the Yellow River. It was not until Liangzhou assassin Shi Geng contempt to recruit military horses to rehabilitate, Ma Teng enlisted in the army and became Sima, but after the general was stubborn, he led his troops to defect to Han Sui, and the strength of the Western Liang Army increased greatly, and finally occupied the entire Liangzhou.

When the Xiliang Army entered its heyday, it began to fight Chang'an again. However, the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, and the army of Huangfu Song was defeated in Chencang, and the army of Liangzhou retreated and split into the Han Sui Army, the Ma Teng Army, and the Song Jian Army. When Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty died, Dong Zhuo's rebellion, the whole country was boiling, Dong Zhuo and his remnants Li Dao and Guo Yan all befriended Xiliang, and Han Sui and Ma Teng also worshiped as generals. Since then, Han Sui and Ma Teng have continued to fight infighting, and after Dong Zhuo was destroyed, Cao Cao's power gradually became stronger, and the two became friends with Cao Cao respectively.

Later, Ma Chao persuaded Han Sui to oppose Cao, and marched east with Han Sui as the leader, and the Xiliang army was reluctantly united, but it was broken by Cao Cao at the end of the year, and the army was defeated by Weihe, Ma Chao and Han Sui were suspicious of each other, and finally split again and fell into their own battles. In 213 AD, Han Sui was defeated by Xiahou Yuan, and died of illness within a few years, and Ma Chao defected to Zhang Lu due to the rebellion of his subordinates. Later, Ma Chao defected to Liu Bei, the lord of Shu Han, and used his reputation to recruit many ethnic minorities in Longnan who could fight well for the Shu army. The once incomparably powerful Xiliang Legion has since perished.

Therefore, cultural unification has always been a popular view among the doctors of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and it is considered by some people to be the ultimate solution to the Qiang chaos. In this way, Zheng Xuan's visit to the west this time actually came on behalf of the weak Eastern Han court. Although the culture of Confucianism is strong, it is a pity that when the world is in turmoil, the time, place, and people are favorable, and Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty has not even possessed any of them.

Chen Long was dressed in a mixed costume of Confucianism and Hu, stepping on the morning sun and Qinghui, and slowly walked outside the inn, ready to greet this Zheng Xuan, who had never met before. With the powerful light brain in his brain, he vowed to win the first place in the lecture conference, which impressed Ma Yunluo. Thinking of the moment when he hugged the beauty, a smile appeared on the corner of Chen Long's mouth, and a strong confidence surged in his heart.
