Chapter 518 Plugging the Great Wall should be self-proud

"History of the Han Empire" once gave a very high evaluation of the important position of the "Shule River Alliance" in history. As a brilliant masterpiece known as the "history of letters", later researchers generally believe that it is very detailed and credible for the record of the events at that time, and there is no exaggeration.

After the victory of the Hexi Campaign, for a long time, the entire western half of the Xiongnu steppe was occupied by the Han army and the coalition forces of the Western Regions. They brutally exterminated the small remnants of the Xiongnu cavalry in this area and some stubbornly resisting herdsmen.

This process will naturally not be recorded in the history books. When the situation was calm, the blood stains on the meadows and deserts gradually solidified and disappeared, and at that time, the summer grass had grown wildly under the irrigation of the rain, and all traces of killing were gone. The people of the countries in the Western Regions suddenly realized that maybe the Huns really had no ability to come back!

The results of the "Shule River Alliance", after reporting to Chang'an, were announced to the world in the fastest time, and it can be said that throughout the summer, the people of all the counties and counties in the territory of the Han Dynasty were immersed in this huge surprise.

In any way, this is the most brilliant victory that the Han has achieved in foreign wars so far! Not to mention the exploits of the Huns who seized half of the grassland, but only to talk about the success of opening up the Hexi Corridor and successfully connecting the passage between the Han Dynasty and the Western world. Not to mention, the leadership of the Han Empire was formally established through this alliance led by the Han Dynasty after the war.

Under the condition that the country was not affected by any war and was in order, it had already deterred the northwest with great troops, and the countries of the Western Regions were returned to kinghood, and the conditions and gains achieved were extremely rich...... This kind of thing, don't say that you haven't heard of it in the previous emperors, even if it is placed below the three kings for thousands of years, it is unheard of!

Therefore, in the brewing of such emotions, it is not surprising that soon after the autumn, the kings of these Western Regions countries went east to Chang'an together according to their promises, and when they met the Han Emperor in front of the Zhuque Gate Square of Weiyang Palace, the whole world was boiling.

As many witnesses of the "Shule River Alliance" at that time, they had written down memories based on their own personal experiences, hoping that this major event that they were fortunate to participate in could be recorded in a more comprehensive way and passed on to future generations as an inspiration.

Among them, there have been several Han Fu Huazhang that have an important position in the history of literature, which have been praised by future generations. The writers of these words, who were either princely officials or military secretaries at the time, recorded and praised this event from different perspectives, expressing deep pride.

And the most famous of them, of course, is the "Han Soul Fu" written by Dongfang Shuo in the middle of the service, which is the most widely circulated. And the most inspiring heroic phrase in this fu has been passed down through the ages and praised by thousands of people.

"Han blood is loyal to the soul, and the dream is vast around the border passes. Iron bones, protect the world for long-term stability! ”

In addition to the elements that praise the royal family, this impassioned color in the Han Fu is actually derived from the golden iron horse and the dust outside the fortress again and again.

In fact, there are still many regrets about the literary words of this period, and the people of later generations. Their regret is that as Yuan Zhao, who has made outstanding contributions in the court, diplomacy, and military fields, he did not leave any words and chapters in the field of literature during this period for future generations to recite. Although there are some sporadic good sentences that have been recorded and circulated by the people around him when he said them casually, he did not seriously write down the next word to pass on to the world.

Such regrets always inevitably make later admirers linger. In their minds, compared with the classic masterpieces written by this great man in other different periods, if he was willing to put pen to paper in this desolate and majestic grassland desert, such words must have been earth-shattering!

However, history has no ifs, and the regrets left behind can only become permanent regrets. It's not that Yuan Zhao deliberately didn't write any articles, but now he is so busy that he has no time or mood to "plagiarize" the famous poems of the past dynasties.

This kind of busyness comes from all sides. At this historical juncture, which can be said to be important, he did not dare to slack off in the slightest. Because, those who become big things don't stick to such bastard words, I don't know how many great things have been delayed!

The success or failure of doing things lies in the details! That's the truth. Especially in the interaction with foreign tribes and Fanbang, it is necessary to be relaxed, graceful and powerful, and pay attention to the details that may be easily overlooked at any time, so as to grasp the overall situation and decide success or failure.

After the good news of the great victory and the recital of Yuan Zhao arrived in Chang'an, the emperor Liu Che and Long Yan Dayue were all implemented as agreed. Tens of thousands of border troops drawn from various counties and counties have been reorganized in the shortest possible time, and they have rushed to the Western Regions under the stars.

This army was appointed as the Western Legion of the Han Dynasty, and their main task was to quickly take over the garrison of the Red Fire Army, and use several areas demarcated by Yuan Zhao himself as their temporary camps. It is necessary to deter the radiated areas by military means and firmly control these areas in order to provide a strong guarantee for the construction of the four Dahan County magistrates in the Western Regions that followed.

Naturally, the "Shule River Alliance" is a conference in which the interests of all parties are guaranteed. All the countries in the Western Regions who came to participate in the event got the promise of the Han Dynasty that they wanted, and they were all happy. And the claims put forward by the Han Empire naturally no one dared to refute them.

In the thousands of miles of land from Yumen Pass to the eastern foot of Qilian Mountain, the Han Dynasty will successively build four counties of Wuwei, Jiuquan, Zhangye and Dunhuang. And set up the Western Regions Metropolitan Protectorate, unified jurisdiction over the tens of thousands of levies, stationed in the four county administrative offices, in order to deter the surrounding area, manage all military and political affairs.

This was a major breakthrough in the military system of the Han Dynasty. When Yuan Zhao's recital was ordered by the emperor to be read out in public at the Hanyuan Palace, the decision on this matter was after a heated discussion. Because in the traditional sense, the garrison outside the Central Plains, except for the small countries such as Baiyue and Goryeo, which are isolated overseas, there is no precedent to follow in such a vast area as the Western Regions grassland. Many ministers are worried that many unpredictable difficulties will occur, and if there is a mistake and they fall into a dilemma, I am afraid that they will lose their previous achievements and lose the favorable situation they have today.

However, in the end, Emperor Liu Che was arbitrary, and he decided the case with full domineering, stopping all different voices.

"There is a precedent for everything! I...... I'd love to set more than one such precedent! ”

In that case, ministers with different voices have nothing to say. What's more, among those who were inspired by the victory of the Han army, they were like fighting chicken blood, and they were eager for everyone to ride horses and swords to go to Yumen Pass to watch the battle with drums and cheers!

The planning for the establishment of the Western Regions Metropolitan Protectorate and the four counties of Wuwei is being mobilized and acted in all directions under the mobilization of the state apparatus. Of course, this is not something that can be done in a short time. This is a big operation, and the fate of tens of millions of people may be changed.

The imperial court has issued an order for the great migration of displaced people, and the population of these four counties that need to be filled will reach hundreds of thousands. In the face of such a great era, every tiny life cannot choose its own destiny, and many people are about to be caught in this way and run towards their unknown future. When you leave your homeland and go on the road with a tragic mood, you will be unpredictable and uncertain.

However, a few years later, when the Hexi Corridor completely became a golden passage and was extremely prosperous, the people of Wuwei, Jiuquan, Zhangye and Dunhuang counties in this golden area looked back on the difficult years of that year, and their hearts were full of emotion.

The Shule River is wide and calm, and in its basin, there are grasslands with abundant water and grass, as well as rolling hills. When the moon is bright and the stars are sparse, when there is no wind and sand, it is a good choice to talk about something calmly here.

The weather was good tonight, and the campfires were burning in the camp not far away, and from this side, the firelight was reflected in the river, like the stars in the sky covering half of the grassland.

Many guards were scattered around, making it a small off-zone for the time being, and no idle people were allowed to approach. But this naturally does not include the commander of the Red Fire Army who came on a horse and then sat quietly more than ten feet away alone.

On a small sand dune, a felt mat was laid on the ground, and three people sat around. There are no delicacies, just a pot of spring brew on the moonlight, which stretches each other's figures a little slender. Ten years later, they have all grown up, and they are no longer the teenagers who talked and laughed with each other in the autumn sunshine back then!

Ten years ago, they were intimate in the small courtyard behind the Fanxue Tower in Chang'an. Today, ten years later, the weight of their identities after each other has made that relationship a little strange.

Liu Ju, the prince of the Han Dynasty, Shangshu Ling Yuanzhao, and Yu Dan, the exiled prince of the Xiongnu. A pot of spring brew from a restaurant in the suburbs of Qing, after the three of them shared and drank it, they seemed to have regained a lot of their original friendship.

"This is also considered to have drunk your wedding wine...... It's just that I'm who I am now, but I don't have any gifts to give. ”

There was a hint of loneliness in the tone of the Xiongnu prince. The relationship between these two people on the opposite side has become closer because of their in-laws, and they are about to be surprised and roar all over the world. And ...... for yourself After more than ten years of hard work, it seems that it is still far from the goal.

The crown prince Liu Ju opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he saw the faint smile on Yuan Zhao's face in the moonlight, and closed his mouth again. He knew that in such an atmosphere, Brother Yuan would definitely have something important to say to Yu Dan.

"Don't overthink it. Yu Dan, now I want to talk to you formally...... About the future of the steppe. ”

The moon is thousands of miles, and the stars are turning. Under the sky, someone finally spoke of the long-held plan.
