A.D. 2019, New Year's Day.

With the recent news that an archaeological team has successfully opened the tomb of Emperor Zhaolie, a reality talk show called National Treasure has also become popular.

The mode of this reality show is actually not new, a host, a guest and related experts, originally there was nothing to see, but because this issue is to tell the legend of Ji Han, many fans of history in this period have turned on the TV to watch.

"According to the latest news from the Huaxia Society, the archaeological team finally opened the mechanism on the periphery of the tomb of Emperor Zhaolie, the founder of the Ji and Han dynasties, without damaging the tomb this year.

"As we all know, China has entered the age of steam in the Han Dynasty, and the currently known shrine of the god of war, the tomb of Wuhou and the Hall of Valhalla and other tombs and temples stored in the early Ji and Han dynasties, when the ancestors of the use of mechanics and optics have been studied to the extreme, and after that, entered the steam age for more than 700 years."

The host's voice, with a little excited look, said with emotion: "The most shocking thing is that the corpses excavated in the tombs of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei have been immortal for thousands of years, according to expert research, during the Han Dynasty, our ancestors should have mastered an energy source that has disappeared from the earth, and it is precisely because of the existence of this energy that in the early 100 years of the Ji and Han dynasties, the scientific and technological level of our China has advanced by leaps and bounds, unfortunately, this energy began to gradually disappear in 412 AD. Since then, Ji Han has also begun to decline from prosperity to decline, and there have been no crafts or buildings with similar energy since then, but even so, it has created a glorious era. ”

"The most incomprehensible thing for me is how to build bridges that can cross the Yangtze River with the technology at that time, and there are as many as ten, and their bridges are so strong that they can be compared with the ancient cities of Chang'an, Luoyang and Yueyang in the south of the Yangtze River!" The guests on the side smiled and sighed: "And as far as I know, the crossbow made by Ji Han at that time can not only be fired continuously, but also has a very long range, which can be said to be the best in the world, and has fought with European countries in Afghanistan several times, and Liu Cheng, a famous general of Ji Han, has created a miracle of breaking 100,000 Roman soldiers with 8,000 crossbowmen with his crossbow array." ”

"First of all, I want to explain that at that time, the Han Dynasty's research on mechanics was quite exquisite, and there was already a prototype of the machine tool, from the current unearthed Han crossbow, Ji Han's crossbow technology advanced by leaps and bounds from the period of the Battle of Chibi, the master craftsman Liu Yi at that time can be said to have subverted the social composition of that era, so that the Han society from the Shi Nong industrial and commercial classification back to the Spring and Autumn Period juxtaposed pattern, this person can be said to be a figure of the times, Ji Han's crossbow making technology has also entered the stage of rapid progress since his appearance, From the fourteenth year of Jian'an, that is, from 209 A.D. to the twenty-eighth year of Yanxi, that is, 264 A.D., this person has been active in the court of Ji Han and has a pivotal position. ”

"Fifty-five years!" The guest was speechless: "Then how long did Liu Yi live?" ”

"According to Ji Hanshu...... the expert pondered for a while and said: "Liu Yi and Ji Han's founding three prime ministers were friends when they were young, and they also lived in Wollongong, and they were carpenters in the early days, but they were able to make friends with masters like Wolong and Phoenix Chicks......

"Teacher, wait!" The guest interrupted: "As far as I know, in the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Western Han Dynasty before the Ji Han Dynasty, the industrial and commercial stratification of Shinong was serious, and it can be said that there was a strict hierarchy, since Liu Yi was a carpenter, why was he able to associate with these people?" ”

This is said to be Liu Yi is the successor of the Mo family, but this can not be verified, because after the Qin Dynasty, the Mo family declined rapidly, to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the literature at that time did not record the existence of the Mo family, which is different from the Legalists, although the Ming Jun of the Han Dynasty respected Confucianism, but in fact, the country was governed by more Legalists, so the Legalists in the Han Dynasty had enough space to survive, but the Mo family before Liu Yi, has basically disappeared, it was Liu Yi who wrote the twelve volumes of Tiangong, the Mo family re-emerged, but according to my opinion, Of course, this is just my family's words, the Mo family that Liu Yi raised is actually fundamentally different from the Mo family in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. ”

"What's the difference? Aren't they all research institutes? The guest said blankly.

"The Mo family founded by Mo Zhai is only a side branch, and its core idea is to love and not attack, and it has a large number of ideas to educate the world and turn small love into great love." The expert shook his head and said: "But Liu Yi is different, looking at his life, he not only has extraordinary attainments in mathematics, civil engineering, and practical physics, but also is an excellent commander. ”

"Commander?" The guest looked at the expert suspiciously: "I know the commanders of the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao, Zhou Yu, Lu Xun, if Ji Han says the commander, the older generation of Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, and later Liu Cheng, Jiang Wei, Deng Ai, Liu Yi are also counted?" ”

"Of course, according to the classics of that period, such as the Book of Wei and the Book of the Later Han Dynasty, Liu Yi has a very interesting title, called the Undefeated General!" The expert smiled.

"This ...... It can't be Ji Han's boasting, right? The guests joked, because there is no broken dynasty, that period of history has been talked about, the more famous are Lu Bu, who is the first in force, the five tiger generals of Ji Han and the eighteen hussars, but Liu Yi is not too famous, and generally only people who have read the official history know the existence of Liu Yi, and in the four famous novels of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Yi is just a passing character.

"Ji Hanshu has never written like this, the name of this undefeated general was given to Liu Yi by Wei and Wu." The expert shook his head and said: "In fact, if you read the Hanshu friends, it is not difficult to find that Liu Yi has a high military talent, after the Battle of Chibi, he pacified the four counties of Jingnan with 2,000 people in less than two months, and then participated in the Battle of Hanzhong, and then when Ji Han came out of Shu, he cooperated with Guan Yu to take Luoyang, and then he subdued the Xiongnu in Hetao, completely exterminated the Xianbei of the Tuoba Department, which was already very strong at that time, and then entered the Western Regions, and fought from Juyan City to Dawan, and Wusun was beaten and fled north, Everyone is familiar with the story of Liu Cheng's 8,000 breaking 100,000, but they don't know that Liu Cheng has the opportunity to fight this battle, because his father Liu Yi pacified Xizhou and personally supervised the construction of three railways, so that Chang'an to Dawan had enough supplies, so that Liu Cheng could personally lead 8,000 strong crossbows to break the 100,000 Roman army at the age of 60. ”

"Teacher, wait!" The host on the side suddenly asked with a surprised face: "Liu Yi is Liu Cheng's father?" ”

"Yes, this is not only recorded in the Book of Ji Han, but I remember that it is also introduced in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, that is, in the section where the first emperor sent troops to level the pass, Liu Cheng left home to join the army alone after the first emperor pacified the pass." The expert glanced at the two of them and said.

The host is a little embarrassed, there is only such a paragraph in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, who can remember.

"So, Liu Yi is more powerful than Liu Cheng?" The guest was surprised, you must know that in the current popular Three Kingdoms game, Liu Cheng is a well-deserved orange general, only the early Lu Bu, as well as the monarchs of the Three Kingdoms and a few people such as Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Zhou Yu and Guo Jia have reached this level, which is almost recognized, and the feelings of Liu Cheng and his father are also so powerful?

"It's not easy to compare, father and son are both heroes who have never been defeated in their lives, and it is impossible for the two to fight." The expert shook his head: "But Liu Cheng can be as powerful as in history, and it is inseparable from Liu Yi's cultivation." ”

"What do you mean by that?" The guest couldn't help but ask.

"Liu Yi is not only an outstanding ancient scientist and military strategist, but also a great educator." The expert smiled: "According to the existing information, Liu Yi vigorously built a school in order to fight against the scholar class at that time. Famous universities in China, such as Du University, Chang'an University and Luoyang University, were all founded by Liu Yi. ”

"Why is this related to the Warriors?" The moderator asked with a smile.

"As I said before, Liu Yi is a craftsman, in our modern terms, that is, from the grassroots, although he has been recognized by Zhuge Liang, Cui Zhouping, and Pang Tong with his personal charm, but for the scholar class at that time, Liu Yi was a grassroots and was not qualified to rank among the three princes, and at that time the Wei Dynasty proposed the Nine Rank Official Law, that is, the Nine Grades Zhengzhong System, in the current view, this set of laws must be backward, but at that time, it was a plan to further optimize the inspection system of the Han Dynasty, which was very suitable for the national conditions at that time. We know that at that time, Ji Han was actually not as strong as the Wei Dynasty, only Jingzhou and Yizhou, and the local tyrants were separating, and the arrival of Liu Bei definitely threatened the interests of these local tycoons, and at this time, the Wei Dynasty kicked out the Jiupin Official Law, which would also cause internal turmoil in Ji Han. ”

The expert took a sip and said: "Liu Yi opened the academy after the Battle of Chibi, but because there was no one to support it, he only taught a disciple in the countryside, but after the launch of the Jiupin Guanren Law, the opportunity came, in order to deter those local wealthy families, Shu Han must have a new force to balance, at this time Liu Yi proposed to let the children of meritorious soldiers get the opportunity to learn, just this one, it completely destroyed the influence of the Jiupin Guanren Law on Ji Han at that time, at that time reading was not like we are now, Reading is the right of scholars, even if you have money, you may not be qualified to read, for many people, being able to read, that is very remarkable, as soon as this decree comes out, it is equivalent to pulling the entire army to his side, and Liu Yi also has his confidence, because at this time, he has created papermaking and printing, the combination of these two is amazing, why Ji Han's army is strong, not only because of strong weapons, but more importantly, for those soldiers, Liu Yi's move gave them the goal of struggle. ”

"You can read the Book of Wei, and it is not difficult to find that the Wei army and the army of Wu at that time were afraid of the Ji Han army!" The expert said here and sighed: "Liu Yi has a strong foresight in education, and he himself will cultivate talents, you look at the generals under him, there is no mediocre generation, like Guan Ping, who basically had no sense of existence around Guan Yu before, but since following Liu Yi for a few years, he can be on his own, and in the later period of Ji Han, he is one of the few pillars of Ji Han, and Deng Ai, you go to see Ji Hanshu, that is to follow Liu Yi since childhood, in addition to Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Wei Yan, Pang De These famous generals, are willing to hand over their children to Liu Yi to teach, and these people are all talented, from this point of view, Liu Yi is very skilled in education. ”

The guest was a little puzzled: "Teacher, since Liu Yi is so powerful, why is he basically not mentioned in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms?" ”

"There are two reasons for this." The expert smiled: "First, Luo Guanzhong is a Confucian, after Liu Yi and until the later Tang, Song, and Ming Dynasty, the dispute between Confucianism and Mo has almost run through the entire history, the Mo family after Liu Yi, just like the current scientists, likes to study things, we in China can avoid war in World War I and World War II, countries dare not provoke, this has to rely on the Mo family, but Luo Guanzhong is a Confucian student, he definitely doesn't like Liu Yi, although he doesn't dare to go black, but in the book Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it can be clearly felt that he wants to dilute Liu Yi. ”

"And what about the second reason?" The guest asked: "According to what the teacher said before, Liu Yi has participated in a lot of battles. ”

"Not only are there many, but the destruction of Wei and the surrender of Wu are directly related to Liu Yi." The expert smiled: "This has to say the characteristics of Liu Yi's war." ”

"Undefeated general?" The guest was curious.

"is undefeated, and Liu Yi is still a famous killer, the well-known Xiahou Yuan and Cao Hong all died in the hands of Liu Yi, in addition, Le Jin was killed after being captured by Liu Yi, and Zhang He, Cao Ren, Cao Zhen, and Cao Xiu's deaths are all related to Liu Yi, in addition, he also captured Lu Meng alive, Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai's deaths are also related to Liu Yi, and Sima Yi was killed by Cao Fang after Liu Yi destroyed the Wei State." Experts say.

"So powerful?" The guests were stunned, and the generals who could fight under Cao Cao and Sun Quan felt that they had been harmed by Liu Yi.

"It's very powerful, but it's hard to convince his opponent." The expert laughed.

"These people are too narrow-minded, so many wonderful wars, Luo Guanzhong can't bear not to write? It's so stingy. The guest was a little dissatisfied.

"It's really no wonder Luo Guanzhong." The expert shook his head and said: "Liu Yi is a good person, as I said before, Liu Yi is a craftsman or a scientific genius, what he was best at in the early days was not to make weapons, but to civil engineering, the city wall he built was not only strong, but also very fast, cement was invented by him, he also made good use of his talent in the war, as long as he faced the enemy, he first built a camp, arrow tower or something, plus the crossbow and bow he made had a long range, and he could press the enemy to fight, so whenever he fought, The first thing he did was to send people to scout the enemy, and the second thing was to build, and as long as the enemy did not attack, he would continue to build, and he spent his life studying the art of defense. ”

After taking a sip of water, the expert continued: "We look at the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the most exciting thing is that the two armies fight, the two sides either have their own tricks, or use soldiers, but Liu Yi is different, he generally only does two things when he fights, probe the enemy, and then defend, he will not want to attack, he will be more patient with you, grind your temperament, until you are impetuous, and then provoke you to come and fight him, and then rely on his city wall and see him kill a large number of enemies."

And he is a bad person, he doesn't send troops, but he will provoke you to come and attack, it is more difficult to attack the city than to defend the city, and the casualties are also greater, this is common sense, the most typical one, is Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, Le Jin three people led the soldiers and horses to beat him, but he didn't come out, and sent a women's dress to Xiahou Yuan, but Xiahou Yuan was furious, and finally Liu Yi beat the lost soldiers, and fled back in embarrassment, and Le Jin was broken under him in that battle. ”

"Teacher, this doesn't seem to be surprising, there are many generals in history who are good at guarding." The guest wondered.

"It's not surprising, but there are not many who can implement it throughout, this is Liu Yi's most powerful place, even if he is in an advantageous situation, the first thing he does is to defend, the most classic is the battle of Wei, when Ji Hanbing was divided into two roads, one was the well-known Pang Tong and Liu Cheng, and the other was Liu Yi, he was in Hanoi against Sima Yi at that time."

"Sima Yi really lost to Liu Yi?" Some of the guests couldn't accept it.

"Sima Yi is indeed very powerful, he predicted this battle as early as eight years before this battle, and asked Ma Jun, who was still a member of the Wei Dynasty at the time, to design a dam in Fenglingdu, and it took eight years to make two dams to prepare for flooding the Han army, if this strategy is really successful, then history may be rewritten, but unfortunately, Sima Yi met Liu Yi."

"At that time, although Ji Han did not have as many soldiers and horses as the Wei Dynasty, he was well-equipped, and everyone fought bravely, and Sima Yi's troops in Hanoi were not necessarily more than Liu Yi's people, with the same strength, Ji Han's army was generally crushing the enemy, but Liu Yi was different, he went to the Yellow River, the first thing was to defend, thinking about how Sima Yi would attack, what loopholes there were in the defense, and also made a geodynamic instrument, measuring the water level, anyway, he did what you could think of, and he thought of everything you couldn't think of, just like that, Sima Yi prepared a plan for eight years, which was broken by Liu Yi, and then found the embankment established by the Wei Dynasty, made an organ in the Yellow River, and changed the river course, but the second big flood came down, Liu Yi was fine, but Sima Yi's camp was flooded by his own strategy, this battle was equivalent to the dispute between Ma Jun and Liu Yi, the two top craftsmen in the Three Kingdoms period. ”

"Is it the devil in the details?" The guests sighed a little.

"It's hard to say, but Liu Yi attaches great importance to his own safety, and he commands the army, dares to delegate power, and dares his subordinates to trust enough, in fact, what does a marshal do? It's not that you can fight well, but you have to know who can do what, and you can delegate power to professional people to do it, whether Liu Yi will fight or not, this is a mystery, there are many controversies in the historical circles, but no one objects to the fact that he is an excellent marshal. ”

"Teacher." The guest was puzzled: "There is a question I don't understand, since Liu Yi is so powerful in his life, he fully meets the conditions of the master, why are both Liu Bei and Liu Chan so relieved to use him?" ”

"That's what he's going to be." The expert nodded and said: "In fact, since ancient times, there have not been many people who have been able to die well, but Liu Yi is a special case, why would ancient kings be suspicious of these heroes?" In fact, in the final analysis, it is the heroes who have the ability to rebel, this ability is not only their personal ability, but also their connections, wealth and prestige, but Liu Yi is different, every time after a war, the first thing Liu Yi does is to return the military power, and although he has a good relationship with Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Cui Zhouping and even Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, but he never forms a party, generally after the war Liu Yi did the most is to build, people's livelihood, he built from Jingzhou to Hanzhong, and from Hanzhong to Shuzhong, and later built to Yunnan, and then Guanzhong, Xiliang, Western Regions to the Central Plains, Liu Yi basically spent most of his life on the construction site or on the way to the construction site, and basically did not participate in court politics. ”

"Do you think anyone would be afraid of a scientific maniac threatening their position?"

"No wonder, but according to what you say, there are basically Liu Yi's buildings in the whole of China, how much does it cost?" The guest asked suddenly.

"That's not good." The expert thought for a while and said: "In the Ji Han Dynasty, from the beginning of Liu Bei's governance, the people's lives were good, the fishery and animal husbandry industry was prosperous, and the earliest chemical fertilizers appeared, and Liu Yi had a very strange habit, he was not like many imperial courts in history to build construction and generally levy people's husbands, but to adopt the employment system, and the salary given was not low, in terms of prices at that time, it was equivalent to about 500 yuan a day now, so the people at that time also liked to work for the imperial court, and the people of the Ji Han Dynasty were happy at least under the rule of Liu Bei and Liu Chan. But according to historical records, these two emperors can be said to be the poorest emperors. ”

"Huh?" The guests were stunned, the country is rich and the people are rich, why is the emperor poor: "This is impossible, don't you collect taxes?" ”

"Collect, and Ji Han's taxes, especially in terms of commercial taxes, are not low, and corrupt officials will be raided every few years, which has also led to two generations of emperors, corrupt officials are almost extinct, but these money are all Liu Yi is going to engage in construction, in the current recorded records, Liu Yi every time he meets the emperor to do is to ask for money, the railway from Luoyang to today's Beijing is Liu Yi's last project, in this fifty-five years, Liu Bei and Liu Chan two generations of monarchs basically did not save any money, with money, It didn't take long for Liu Yi to take it away. ”

"Speaking of which, it is also his luck that Liu Yi can meet such two Ming Jun." The guest laughed.

"But Liu Bei and Liu Chan were lucky to meet a courtier like Liu Yi?"

……

Looking at the chattering experts on TV, Lu Lingqi leaned into Liu Yi's arms and said with a smile: "Husband, it's rare to see a reliable expert, and he was actually right." ”

"You have to thank that there has been no historical fault in the past thousand years, otherwise maybe the Romance of the Three Kingdoms can be regarded as official history." Liu Yi hugged his daughter-in-law and couldn't help but sigh a little, this time flies really fast.

"That kid in Luo Guanzhong wrote nonsense, he should have been directly hacked to death back then!" Lu Lingqi said dissatisfied.

"Interesting, isn't it? Look at these three languages recently, I'm about to become a saint. Liu Yi smiled while looking at his phone.

"Husband~" Lu Lingqi's voice suddenly became a little sustenance.

"Want again?" Liu Yi looked at his wife helplessly: "Can you not call your husband, this used to be called a eunuch." ”

"Are the times different~" Lu Lingqi leaned on Liu Yi: "Why don't you move today, I'll come?" ”

"You said you ......" Liu Yi's eyes lit up, he stood up and walked towards the bedroom with Lu Lingqi in his arms, and babbled in his mouth: "These are almost two thousand years old, how can they be the same as a little girl, all boring?" ”

"Boring, why are you running so fast?"

"Isn't this a thoughtless thing to finish sooner? You're all excited for a while, so it's better to feed you first, so as not to bother me again tomorrow! ”

"Dead Ghost ......"

…… Finish......
