Chapter 237: Han Bing's Prestige, Bringing All Nations Together!
Ignoring the question of the origin of the Yellow River, Lu Bu just faced the water of the Yellow River and sighed, "Wenyou, do you know? This world is still very big. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Zhang Qian to the Western Regions, which opened our eyes. Outside of our China, there are many races in the world, not only those Qiang, Xiongnu, Xianbei, and Wuhuan people...... In this world, in addition to our Han Dynasty, there are many powerful ......"
"Is the lord talking about those big countries outside the Western Regions? I have heard that after Zhang Qian passed through the Western Regions, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty conquered the Western Regions and established the Western Regions Protectorate in the Western Regions. Govern more than 30 countries in the Western Regions to ensure the smooth flow of the Silk Road. During the Yanguang period of Emperor An of the Han Dynasty, he placed the Western Regions Governor's Mansion, and Ban Yong, the son of Ban Dingyuan, was the governor of the Western Regions, governing the Western Regions...... It is rumored that outside the Western Regions, there is another country as powerful as my Han Dynasty, called Great Qin...... During the Yanxi period, this Great Qin also sent envoys to visit...... There is also an Ankushan Empire, which also seems to be a huge country...... He once tried to invade the Western Regions, but was defeated by Ban Dingyuan......"
Li Ru racked his brains before he revealed some knowledge that he knew.
In this era, there is really very little understanding of the Western Regions and other regions that are thousands of miles away. If it weren't for the Western Han Dynasty and the Eastern Han Dynasty, some of the situations in the Western Regions would not have been transmitted to the Central Plains. is a knowledgeable and wise man like Li Ru, and he only knows a little about the powerful countries outside the Western Regions.
But even so, it was a little surprising to Lu Bu. It is not easy for Li Ru to be able to tell this Great Qin and know this Guishuang. Nodding slightly, Lu Bu looked back at Li Rudao and said, "Wen You is right. In today's world, there are four great powers! In addition to my Great Han, there are also the three empires of Great Qin, Guishan, and Rest! The land they occupy is not less than that of our Han people, and our Han people are not necessarily more than their population...... For such a long time, our eyes were only on the Huns, Xianbei, Wuhuan and Qiang...... We think we're strong! But he didn't look at the whole world! Many times, we fought against each other, and the Central Plains was in a scuffle, which allowed those foreigners to take advantage of the situation...... Compared with this roommate, I think that heroes like Zhang Ziwen and Ban Dingyuan can be described as big husbands! ”
"The true Lord, with his vision, is long-term...... It is not limited to one state and one place, and it does not care about temporary gains and losses...... I won't be complacent, Yoro is arrogant......"
Lu Bu's gaze carried a hint of firmness, "I want to end this troubled era and unify the Central Plains, not just the end!" And just the beginning! ”
With his hands on his back, Lu Bu's nine-foot body stood proudly, and his voice full of ambition vibrated between heaven and earth, "More than two thousand years ago, Dayu established the first dynasty Xia in the world!" More than 800 years ago, the princes of Qi Huan and Jiuhe, respected the king and resisted the invasion from Zhuhu. More than 400 years ago, Qin Shi Huang unified the six kingdoms and established the first empire Qin! Attack Baiyue in the south, swallow its territory, but in the north the Xiongnu more than 700 miles, seize the Hetao! More than 300 years ago, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Wei Qinghuo to conquer the Xiongnu and defeated the huge Xiongnu Empire in one fell swoop. During the reign of Emperor Guangwu, he sent Ban Gu to pacify the Western Regions, and after 30 years of hardships in Ban Dingyuan, the Western Regions surrendered. The brother of Ban Gu, Emperor Guangwu said on the class table, Han Bing's prestige, the total rate of all countries, the sun and the moon shine, all of them are concubines! How powerful is that! But now? The Hetao area seized by the martyrs is chaotic again, and it is occupied by Qianghu! Ban Dingyuan's hard work in his life in the Western Regions has also been lost......"
"In this world, there is not only the Central Plains! If all of us only set our eyes on the land of the Central Plains and gave up the land that the martyrs took with their blood, wouldn't we be ashamed of our ancestors and our descendants? ”
A deafening remark!
For a long time, Li Ru had never considered these extraterritorial issues, at most, he had considered the neighboring Xiongnu Xianbei and other tribes. But Lu Bu's thoughts broadened his horizons a lot! In this world, he is not the only man! The strong enemies in this world are not only those Qianghu. In that Western Regions, thousands of miles away, there are hundreds of countries! Beyond that Western Regions, there were several powerful empires that could rival his great Han. When they were mired in civil strife and strife, those empires were plundering everywhere and eyeing each other.
"Wen You thinks I'm worried?"
Seeing that Li Ru hadn't spoken for a long time, Lu Bu thought that Li Ru thought that what he said was wrong. After all, the matter of Zhuhu in front of him has not been resolved, and he has begun to think about the Western Regions, and those powerful empires outside the Western Regions.
"Nope! The foresight of the lord is greatly admired by Confucianism! ”
Li Ru hurriedly shook his head.
"Huh."
Lu Bu stopped stopping this topic, the road has to be walked step by step, and the meal has to be eaten in one bite! This dispute in the Central Plains is not something that he can fight if he doesn't fight, and he still has to fight! And he can only win the war, and Lu Bu is qualified to conquer many countries in the Western Regions.
If he wants to win, he will win!
After a while, Cheng Lian came over with two fishermen. These two fishermen are still Han Chinese, and when they saw Lu Bu, a Han general, they were all excited! They had long heard that the Han army had broken through Jiling, and they were still thinking about when the Han army would be able to cross the Yellow River and capture their Shanan. It's just that the Han army in Jiling did not move, but a Han army jumped out from the west and captured them in Shanan like a surprise attack.
Now, Shanan has planted the Han flag again! These Han people are also very excited! After so many years, I finally met Master Wang! This kind of mood is incomprehensible to ordinary people.
"Old man, how deep is this Yellow River? Wide geometry? ”
Lu Bu asked the rushing river in the face of it.
Two fishermen, one old and one young!
The old man's face was already furrowed, and he looked like he was nearly fifty or sixty. And the younger one looks like he's nearly thirty. Probably because of the wind and sun, both of them have dark skin. The face is also covered with wind and dust. Both are fishermen from Shanan, but they are not father and son. The old man's surname is Wang Mingzhong, and the young one is surnamed Zhang Mingzhong.
In the face of Lu Bu's inquiry, Wang Zhong replied respectfully, "General, the old man has also been fishing here for half his life. The water of this Yellow River is no more than seven feet deep and about fifty feet wide... But in recent days, it has rained heavily, so the depth of the water may be greater......"
