Chapter 0901: Breaking the Cycle
Zhuge Liang is not happy, even if the goal he wants to complete in three years has been achieved, or even overachieved, but he still can't be happy, oozing out of Hebei, he is trying his best to achieve his goal through the least loss, he wants to expand the plug, but not to increase his merits, he wants to get rid of the old enemy of the Han in this rare cold winter season.
From the beginning of the era of Zhuxia, Zhuxia and Guanwai, the enemy outside the Saiwai has been fighting, never stopped, a few decades ago, General Duan Cheng defeated the Xianbei people, won a huge victory, but Zhuge Liang understands, how many years later, there will be new enemies outside the Saiwai, maybe it is not called Xianbei at that time, but their purpose is still the same.
General Duan broke Xianbei, in Zhuge Liang's view, it was no different from General Huo, the general of Wei, and even the Qin State broke Zhurong, this is the case, a strong enemy will appear, and begin to fight with Zhuxia, sometimes, the two sides are not divided into each other, and sometimes, one side will have the upper hand, but Zhuxia has a different culture.
All the strong enemies outside the Saiwai who were defeated by Zhu Xia also became a part of Zhu Xia, bringing a lot of good things to Zhu Xia, such as the wool coat worn on Zhuge Liang, cotton, Hu bed, and of course, a lot of food, which also brought a lot of brave blood to Zhu Xia, such as Lao Qin, who fought in the northwest, absorbed countless Rong countries, and developed and grew.
However, Zhuge Liang doesn't like this kind of cycle to continue reincarnation, Zhuge Liang doesn't know, whether the Han can repel every strong enemy outside the Saiwai, starting from the destruction of Zhou's Rong, the strong enemy outside the Saiwai is constantly changing, Zhuge Liang is worried that there will be a day, maybe in a hundred years, maybe in a thousand years, the Han will lose once, the Han can't afford to lose, a failure, maybe will destroy the thousand-year-old civilization.
Zhuge Liang is afraid of this, he wants to break such a reincarnation, but for a long time, such a reincarnation has never been able to break it, because the outside of the plug is too big, Zhuxia is constantly expanding its own territory, and all kinds of people have become Zhuxia, but the outside of the plug is always too big, and the strong enemy who comes and goes like the wind can be defeated, but it cannot be completely destroyed.
The Han Dynasty had a bold king, and also had the same full treasury, but at most it only defeated the most powerful enemy outside the Saiwai, this time, the situation is different, the Han is very powerful, in history, it has never been so powerful, the Han can requisition millions of people, but it will not cause too much turmoil to the country, it can always have tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and it can completely defeat any enemy.
The Han has a virtuous son of heaven, a group of capable ministers, and the best generals, Zhuge Liang feels that he should do something, especially in such a cold climate, such a climate is simply rare for thousands of years, I have never heard that it will become so cold outside the Saiwai, even the most cold-resistant barbarians, now can no longer stand it.
Their horses can't run, and they fall into the snowfield, this period is naturally the era when the Han Dynasty has done a lot, so how to solve this kind of reincarnation outside the plug, Zhuge Liang feels that only by building these areas into the cities of the Han Dynasty, sending officials to govern, constantly immigrating, filling the vacancies here, and making more and more land become the territory of Zhuxia, this reincarnation will be broken.
Zhuge Liang didn't want to destroy them, he wanted them to become Zhuxia.
He will not raise the butcher's knife for no reason, he wants to hold the Spring and Autumn Period, and spread the truth of the sages of Zhuxia to the whole world, this is what this era should really do, if you miss it, wait for a hundred years, there will be a strong enemy again, Zhuge Liang has seen it very clearly, therefore, he is so good, he is stunned to use millions of people, but also to develop the outside of the Saiwai, for the future generations, cut off the disaster.
However, he didn't find anyone who could understand him, even Xun Linggong, the person he had always respected, didn't seem to understand his thoughts, he still remembered the letter sent by Xun Linggong, Xun Yu asked him, why did he have to mobilize the people to conquer the barren land? ?
Barren land? Is it a bitter cold place?
Zhuge Liang slowly raised his head, won't this cold winter pass? Wasn't Xizhou and Jiaozhou like this in the past?
What disappointed him the most was Sima Yi, who was a friend and enemy with him, and Sima Yi couldn't see through this? Or does it matter to him? Zhuge Liang will always accompany these farmers, busy outside the plug, the prince also came to see him, these days, the prince has also grown up, quite a bit of military atmosphere, but the most chilling thing for Zhuge Liang is those slaves.
Everything I did was just to open up a safe world for future generations, why did I use so many slaves, why did I have to do this?? He could see the angry flames that erupted in the eyes of those slaves, they were terrified, but they were also afraid, in this snowfield, sprinkled with their blood, Zhuge Liang was almost sure that these people had settled here, and the big man had found an enemy for himself.
The best way may be to let them all be buried in this snowfield, but Zhuge Liang looked at those poor people, looking at their frozen tears, he really had no way to give this order, every time he encouraged himself, even if it was for the future descendants of the Han Dynasty, he had to make up his mind to get rid of the hidden dangers of these Han people, but when he fell asleep at night, he could see Shijun's disappointed face.
"Kong Ming? Did I teach you that? ”
"Do you remember the soldiers of the 3,000 brave battalions?"
"Do you remember that big fish with dragon whiskers?"
Zhuge Liang woke up from a nightmare, and on the second day, he lost the determination to order, which is not a good thing for Zhuge Liang, all day long, wandering in conscience and family and country, making him thinner and thinner, more and more tired, but he has always been on the front line, never fell, the more uneasy, the more he wants to do more, perhaps, doing more things for the Han, can make him more at ease.
And for Sima Yi, who caused all this, he hated it in his heart, he no longer looked down on this villain, and he was no longer worthy of being his friend.
"Father!" , was helping a farmer to carry the wood, he heard the call, Zhuge Liang hurriedly turned his head, but Zhuge Zhan arrived, Zhuge Liang looked at this child with some disappointment, he used to have high hopes for this son, but ah, Zhuge Zhan is too lazy, no matter what he does, he is thinking about how to be more relaxed, acting like this, I am afraid that it will not be able to achieve great things, but a little clever.
And Zhuge Zhan thinks very highly of himself, because he has been smart since he was a child, invincible, so he is full of confidence in himself, except for Zhuge Liang, he looks down on anyone, no, perhaps, he even looks down on Zhuge Liang, however, Zhuge Liang subconsciously thought that in a few decades, the stupid Yuan Yao will definitely far surpass Zhuge Zhan and make a great cause, and when the time comes, Zhuge Zhan may only be able to give Yuan Yao a hand.
"What's going on? You have given up your tent? Zhuge Liang asked, Zhuge Zhan looked solemn, bowed to his father, and then said: "There is a document from the temple, Liu Sikong has passed away, in this world, I am afraid that there is only one Sikong left with my father, and an old minister, who is said to have been in charge of the embroidered messenger, also passed away this year..."
"Liu Sikong he...", Zhuge Liang was stunned, he didn't have much communication with this person, but he also admired this person, this person was benevolent and courageous, when he just entered the temple, he also visited him, and even when he was making the law, he had helped himself, and suddenly heard that this person had died, Zhuge Liang felt a sharp pain in his heart.
"Alas...", Zhuge Liang sighed.
"Father... The document also said that I hope His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can go back..."
"What do you say?!?" , Zhuge Liang's eyes widened, and he suddenly asked, Zhuge Zhan was stunned, Father was so bland in the face of Sikong's death, how could he be so surprised by the act of recalling His Royal Highness the Prince!? Zhuge Zhan thought carefully for a moment, but didn't come up with an idea, so he could only say seriously: "It is said that the queen misses Her Royal Highness too much, so she issued an urgent order to let the prince go back..."
"No.. No...", Zhuge Liang shook his head a little dejectedly, looking a little frightened, Zhuge Zhan had never seen his father look like this, Zhuge Liang then ordered: "Hurry up and send someone to call His Royal Highness the Crown Prince over!" Hearing Zhuge Liang's orders, Zhuge Zhan didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly sent people, and now, the northern and southern armies are still outside the fortress, and they are still chasing the thieves.
They thought that Zhuge Liang would oppose their behavior, but unexpectedly, Zhuge Liang actually supported them in conquering the thieves, and gave them a lot of help, and even helped them cover up these things, only letting the Son of Heaven know, therefore, Zhuge Liang and these generals get along very harmoniously, and many generals respect this unusual important minister.
After Zhuge Zhan sent someone over, Zhuge Liang has been waiting for His Royal Highness the Prince, waiting for two days, Hu'er rushed to the new city where Zhuge Liang is located, which is called Han County, Hu'er walked into the camp, still with a smile on his face, he asked: "Zhuge Linggong, what do you have to send someone to say, why call me over?!" ”
Hu'er was obviously used to the cold here, so he walked into the battalion commander with a smile and sat in front of Zhuge Liang without restraint.
Zhuge Liang straightened his face and said very seriously: "Your Highness, something is wrong." ”
"Huh??" Hu'er was also taken aback by him, and hurriedly asked, "What happened?" ”
"I heard that His Royal Highness's master Cui Gong is seriously ill, and the Son of Heaven has written a letter, hoping that His Highness can return to Luoyang quickly."
"Huh? Master him!! Hu'er is now growing up, and he understands the meaning of death, he was suddenly frightened and jumped up, and without asking too much, he rushed out of the camp. Seeing the prince leave, Zhuge Liang shook his head, Cui Gong, I'm sorry, when I return to Ruoxian, I will personally ask you for guilt.
