Chapter 23 Yin Shang vassal state, four northern departments

The ancients had a fascination with anything crystal clear.

Gemstones, jade, have been endowed with additional mystery by human beings, the ancients said that the white gems and jade as the spirit of the gods, or sealed with the secret treasure of the mountain spirits and ghosts, after wearing it has various benefits for people.

For example, bloodstone was once considered to be the essence blood of the phoenix, and the wearer could prolong life, obsidian was sealed as a holy weapon to ward off evil spirits, and flawless white jade was said to be the spirit of the Holy Spirit and had the function of suppressing luck.

In fact, this is all due to the natural human love for smooth, clean things.

Therefore, a plastic bottle full of post-modern technology style characteristics is definitely a treasure at the level of He's Bi.

When Wang Xu took out this bottle of mineral spring, Wang Li and Tu Tan's eyes turned green, and if Mo Kui woke up at this time, he might be scared to faint again.

"Immortal brew?" Wang Li swallowed wildly.

"In order to be able to get your father to help, I have to take out this." Wang Xu sighed, unscrewed the cap of the bottle, and began to drink it with a clatter.

I haven't drunk 'clean' water for so many days, so Wang Xu didn't pay attention to it and drank all the bottles.

looked at Wang Li, who was full of sadness, apologetically, "Actually, there is no special effect, just be clean." ”

Wang Li licked the corners of his mouth, looked at the pen and paper in front of him and asked, "What is this?" ”

"That's it." Wang Xu wrote two words with a ballpoint pen.

"You actually use such a fetish to write?" Wang Li's eyes widened, watching Wang Xu destroy the beauty of the paper with pen and ink, and said bitterly.

Although the mainstream of the Qin Dynasty was still at the level of knife carving and bamboo slip writing, Wang Li's noble class had already begun to write letters with silk brocade silk and hard pen dyes.

"This thing will be used to write and draw in the future." Wang Xu smiled.

"The people in the envy door are really extravagant." Wang Li snorted lightly and tried to shake the pen.

Wang Xu frowned, looking at him like a woman embroidering flowers, holding a pen, "You want to embroider?" ”

"Nonsense, the magic pen naturally has to be cherished and used, if it is broken, won't I have to die of heartache?" Wang Li rolled his eyes, raised his pen tremblingly, and didn't write a word for a long time.

"You write well, the pen is for you." Wang Xu urged.

"Okay!" Wang Li immediately changed his face, although the movement of holding the pen was stiff, but after writing two words, he began to become proficient.

The corners of Wang Xu's mouth twitched, he was accidentally calculated by this kid, sure enough, it is impossible for these people from big families to be all rice buckets, give a little sunshine and dare to flood.

Shaking his head helplessly, Wang Xu looked at Tu Tan, who was as quiet as a chicken, and walked over to untie him, "Go and wake up Mo Kui." ”

After Tu Tan untied, he made a big salute to Wang Xu, which was the same Yin Shang etiquette as Mo Kui, which was regarded as a gesture, and the afterglow of the electric shock had not yet dissipated, so that he crawled to Mo Kui with some uncoordinated hands and feet, and hit an acupuncture point on his body.

"Huh!" Mo Kui let out a muffled snort, his face turned pale and slowly opened his eyes, and after waking up, he instinctively screamed, "The Great Emperor spares his life!" ”

"Didn't think I'd kill you." Wang Xu sneered and put the map on the ground, "I want to migrate to this place with my clansmen, what is your opinion?" ”

Mo Kui lay on the ground weakly, not daring to make a sound.

"Emperor, the criminal minister thinks that if we go to Qidi, it will be more beneficial to us." Tu Tan pursed his lips and glanced at Wang Li, who was writing hard, and the more he wrote, the more excited he became, "And with Wu Anjun here, we may be able to avoid a head-to-head confrontation with the Qin army." ”

"What if Wu Anjun suddenly turns back?" Wang Xu said with a smile.

Tu Tan frowned.

"I know what you're thinking, I can keep your people from dying, but let me let you go to Qidi, don't dream." Wang Li snorted coldly without raising his head.

"If Wu Anjun is worried about our identity, let us stay in Yandi and live a stable life." Tu Tan frowned and just finished speaking, but was kicked by Mo Kui next to him, subconsciously looked at Wang Xu, and knelt on the ground in a cold sweat, "The criminal has no intention of offending Emperor Wei!" ”

"You also know that I am the Great Emperor, do you think that if you are subordinate to the King of Qin, how should you deal with yourself?" Wang Xu chuckled.

"I beg the Emperor to have mercy on his people!" Mo Kui exclaimed sadly, "The land of the East Forest is really rampant, and there may be several barbarian tribes, every year when the livestock in the autumn forest are fat, the Donghu Fuyu and other countries in the far north will go south to hunt in large numbers, and when the time comes, with our widows and widows, how can we resist?" ”

Seeing Mo Kui kneeling on the ground and kowtowing with real feelings, Wang Xu also moved a little thought.

Originally, before the showdown, Mo Kui did hide the fact that there were a large number of barbarians behind his back, but now that he mentioned it, Wang Xu thought that there were not only the descendants of Yin Shang left by Jizi in the north, but also the aborigines of the Korean Peninsula, as well as the indigenous peoples who had dominated the northern land for thousands of years, Su Shen, Zhan and Donghu, each of which was a tribe that had multiplied in this land of suffering for more than a thousand years, and in view of the ferocity of nomadic and fishing and hunting peoples.

Moreover, the descendants of these three tribes, Xianbei, Wuhuan, Goguryeo, and Rulou, became the main powerful enemies of the Central Plains after a few hundred years, and even worse than the influence of the Xiongnu on the Central Plains.

But from the root point of view, these tribes were all part of the Huaxia Alliance back then, and the Jurchen ancestor Su Shen was a subsidiary of the Central Plains tribe from the Yaoshun period.

"Da Dai Li Ji Shao Xian" praised Yu Shun, Yu, Cheng Tang, and King Wen as "Minmingjiao, through the four seas, overseas cautious, Beifa Qu search, Di and Qiang to serve".

In the past, Wang Xu had always lived in the Heilongjiang River Basin or the Songhua River Basin during the Warring States Period, but he did not expect to have reached the Daliao River Basin.

"There are Donghu and Fuyu people in the land of Donglin?" Wang Xu frowned deeply.

"The name of Donglin was taken by the Donghu people, which means the hunting place of Donghu." Mo Kui whimpered, "The Lone Bamboo Country guarded the north for Yin Shang, mainly to resist the Donghu and many other barbarian alliances, when Xia Ji expelled the Huang Zhen clan in the north, I didn't expect Huang Zhen to subdue the local savages to establish the Donghu Shanrong Alliance, and later the Shang Tang Emperor destroyed Xia, the northeast to serve the Shanjung, and cut down the Donghu, the Donghu Huang Zhen clan fled to the north, and made a comeback many years later, and it was my Lone Bamboo country's mortal enemy. ”

"Shanjung is a subject country of Yin Shang?" Wang Xu frowned and asked.

"Of course, Emperor Wuding took pity on Shanrong's poverty, taught the method of farming, and has always been regarded as the holy lord by Shanrong, even if Zhou Nu later usurped the throne, Shanrong was still loyal to Yin Shang, and also participated in the battle of Emperor Wugeng's restoration, although he was defeated." Mo Kui said with a sigh.

"Then when the Duke of Qi Huan crusaded against Shanrong, Shanrong destroyed the country?" Wang Xu asked again.

"The Qi thieves were strong at that time, but they couldn't defeat us in the north, so they could only drive us into the mountains and forests." Mo Kui said hatefully.

"Don't die to save face, if you can't beat it, you can't beat it." Wang Li sneered, "The capital of the country is gone, what is the difference between destroying the country?" ”

Mo Kui's face flushed with anger, but he couldn't refute it.

"A spark can also start a prairie fire." Wang Xu glanced at Wang Li, "That Lingzhi, Guzhu, Shanrong, and the Four Kingdoms of Endless Ending, none of them have been destroyed, and they are all in this Donglin land?" ”

"The specific ministers are not clear, but I heard the previous monarch mention it, and the Ling branch and the Wuzhong department seem to have taken refuge in Donghu, and Shan Rong doesn't know." Mo Kui shook his head, "But what is certain is that the barbarians in the Donglin are by no means one of our four countries, although our four countries are located in a land of suffering, but they all inherit the gifts of the descendants of China, the rites of the Yin Shang Heavenly Dynasty." ”

Wang Xu raised his eyebrows slightly, indeed in the archaeology of the Guzhu Kingdom and the Shanrong tribe in later generations, they inherited the Hongshan culture that is in the same vein as the Yin Shang culture, and originally thought that it was a unified culture originating from different tribes, but I didn't expect it to be the relationship between the inheritance of vassals.

"The barbarians in the eastern forest are real barbarians, they do not eat grains, they do not distinguish between people, they do not understand human language, they like to hunt for pleasure, they are in the company of wild beasts, and they do not obey education." Tu Tan said in a deep voice: "With the current combat strength in the clan, if you meet them, you will definitely suffer heavy losses, and it will be autumn soon, even if you don't meet Donghu and the barbarians, and you don't have a house to keep out the cold, the clansmen won't be able to survive this winter." ”

Wang Xu fell into contemplation again, after Tu Tan's attack on him, he was greatly touched by the threat of death for the first time at close range, although the plan was successful, but in terms of implementation, it would be extremely difficult.

There was a deathly silence in the stone house, save for the 'salsa' sound of the tip of the pen as it swiped across the paper.

Tu Tan and Mo Kui held their breath and waited for Wang Xu's decision.
