On the Guanzhong Plain south of the Wei River, Chang'an City has stood here for more than 400 years. As the capital of Chang'an www.biquge.info with an area of about 36 square kilometers, Chang'an City has always been the political, economic and cultural center of the country, and it is also the first city with a large scale and many residents in Chinese history. It has witnessed the rise and fall of the entire medieval Chinese society, and countless legends have been staged here in turn.

The construction of Chang'an City originated in the Western Han Dynasty, in the fifth year of Gaozu of the Han Dynasty (202 BC), Liu Bang began to rebuild the palace on the basis of the Qin Xingle Palace south of the Wei River and named it Changle Palace. In the seventh year of Gaozu (200 years ago), he ordered Xiao He to build Weiyang Palace, and in the same year, the capital was moved from Liyang City to here, because it was located in Chang'an Township, so it was named Chang'an City.

However, Chang'an City did not have a city wall at first, and it was not until the first year of Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty (194 BC) that the city wall was built. In the spring of the third year of Emperor Hui (192 BC), the construction reached its climax, and 140,000 people were levied to build the wall, and finally it was completed in the autumn of the fifth year (190 BC). Later, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty succeeded to the throne and carried out a large-scale expansion of Chang'an City, built the North Palace, Guigong Palace and Mingguang Palace, opened Taixue in the south of the city, expanded the Shanglin Garden of the Qin Dynasty in the west of the city, dug the Kunming Pond, and built the Zhang Palace. So far, after nearly 100 years of construction, the scale of Chang'an City in the Han Dynasty has finally begun to be complete.

In the second year of Emperor Ping of the Han Dynasty (2 AD), there were 88,000 households and 246,000 people in the city, making it the first city in Chinese history with a large scale and many residents. At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Chang'an City was destroyed in the war. The capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty was Luoyang, with Chang'an as the western capital. At the end of the Han Dynasty, after Luoyang was set on fire by Dong Zhuo, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty moved back to Chang'an to live. In the last years of the Western Jin Dynasty and the former Zhao Dynasty, the capital was also located here······

At this time, in the Weiyang Palace, Liu Yao saw Hu Yanyu, who was escorted back to the court by the starry night from Qinzhou. At the same time, the messenger sent to Tuyuhun brought back news that the negotiations were not going well.

The Tuyuhun people first questioned whether the Han State could really send troops and horses to help them, and then thought that the Han State's statement that the Liangzhou Chinese army was going to attack them on the western tour was false.

Hu Yanwei knelt on the ground, waited for the messenger to retreat, and then considered the words and said, "Your Majesty, the criminal minister has a word that I don't know whether to say or not······

Liu Yao sat on the dragon chair, looked at this important minister who had once leaned on his arm, and slowly spoke: "If you have something to say, just say it." ”

Hu Yanwei straightened his back slightly, and said directly: "The reason of the Tuyuhun people is just an excuse, but in fact, they are the people who see the wind and make the rudder, and when they see the small victory in Liangzhou, they move closer to Liangzhou. ”

Liu Yao snorted coldly: "It's not that you have lost your teacher and lost your land!" ”

Hu Yanyu bowed and said: "The minister knows that his sins are unforgivable, so he only wants to atone for his sins and do his best for His Majesty." ”

Liu Yao sighed and said, "The court's call to behead you is very high, and I can't disobey the opinions of all the courtiers. If the defeat of the army can be exonerated like this, then what future does the Han have at all? ”

Hu Yan's heart is like a knife, this defeat can be said to be a crime of non-war, the enemy has used many unheard-of sharp weapons, and anyone will be defeated miserably, and he can only blame himself for his bad luck.

He bowed his head and said, "The minister is guilty of capital crimes." However, the battle method of the Liangzhou rebel army is unprecedented, and if the minister is defeated once, he will not fail the second time. I beg Your Majesty to give your ministers another chance to atone for their sins, even if they die on the battlefield, they will be considered to have died as they deserve······"

"There are people in the north of the Han Dynasty who covet it, and Liangzhou in the west frequently intrudes, such as Qiu Chi and Chengguo, and the remnants of the Jin Dynasty often call for the Northern Expedition; This is the autumn of life and death, and Your Majesty must not be unguarded. ”

When Liu Yao heard this, he thought it was true, and sighed: "After all, the big man is still weak, and his prestige has declined. Otherwise, the clown who jumps off the beam, and dares to commit a crime? ”

Hu Yanwei said: "At this time, Liangzhou seems to have the intention of cheering up, and its major general Zhang Jun is quite handsome. They are bent on the east, and their goal is our big man, so they won't persecute Tuyuhun too much. At this time, it may not be easy to persuade Tuyuhun to raise troops to attack Liang, so it is better to change the strategy and ask them to expand their territory to Liangzhou when the Liang army has no time to look west······ As long as His Majesty's western expedition begins, they will at least be able to contain the Liang army, at least it will be a beneficial and harmless move. ”

Liu Yao clenched his fists, and a sense of powerlessness came to his heart, as if the power that led the iron cavalry to dominate the world was gradually passing. He said: "This plan is very good, I immediately ordered people to rush to Tuyuhun as soon as possible." I also had to tell the envoys and remind Tuyan to understand that once the Liangzhou Zhang clan freed up his hand, he would not trust them at all, and let him look farther away! ”

Immediately afterwards, Liu Yao wanted to speak and stopped, looked at Hu Yanwei who was kneeling at the bottom of the steps, and finally couldn't help but say: "Aiqing is loyal to the Han Dynasty, and I know it." Only the defeat of the army is great, and I have to give an account to the subjects of the world······"

Hu Yanwei kowtowed sincerely and said excitedly: "Your Majesty puts the overall situation first, and it is not a pity to die!" ”

Liu Yao stood up, paced back and forth a few steps, and made a decision: "Aiqing has made great contributions to the court, and I can't bear you." You are a former army general for the time being, and you will go west with me. If he can make meritorious service, he will be reinstated. ”

"As for the post of Qinzhou Assassin, it will be handed over to Chen An, the assassin of Nan'an County, for the time being."

"The Decree of the Sinners ······" Hu Yanwei said.

······················································

On the Qinghai Plateau, Tuyan returned to his army, although Zhang Jun made excessive requests, but there was no need for Bin Rong to meet, because it was late, so the two sides agreed to camp ten miles back, and continue to talk tomorrow.

When he saw Long Xiangjun's neat retreating array, Tuyan was really shocked into a cold sweat. He had never seen such a well-organized army. On the other hand, his subordinates retreated in chaos, if the two armies suddenly launched a charge at this time, then Tuyuhun was afraid that he would be destroyed!

Therefore, Tuyan is even more determined to negotiate peace, even if he really suffers a loss, it doesn't matter.

In fact, the matter of renting land is a headache for Tuyan, although there is rent, and it is not very shameful on the surface, but in the final analysis, it is in his own hands to give up such a large area, among which there is no lack of land with abundant water and grass, otherwise the Huangshui Department would not have settled here.

However, thinking of the other two proposals that Zhang Jun said, Tuyan felt that it was acceptable.

One is the mutual market of tea slaves, and the other is marriage.

There were a large number of surplus slaves in Tuyuhun, and these livestock-like existences came from wars between various tribes to annex each other, and some came from captives during battles with the tribes of the Western Regions.

There were many of them, and except for a few who were used for work, most of the others were killed directly, either for sacrifice or for fun. And Guangwu County is under construction everywhere, and a large number of people are urgently needed. So Zhang Jun simply proposed to Tuyan: exchange the tea of Liangzhou for the slave of Tuguhun.

This move is for both sides to take what they need, but it is to reduce the burden on Tuyuhun, so Zhang Jun is not afraid that Tuyan will not agree.

The second thing, the county lord of Mingyue has already reached the age of leaving the cabinet, and it seems that there is nothing wrong with marrying the young general of Da Liang, it is better than the wild boy of the Qiang tribe, right? At this time, Tuyan could make a decision in one word, and there was no need to consult with the courtiers.

Within Tuyuhun's Chinese army, Tuyan immediately summoned royal relatives and nobles from various ministries to discuss the matter of renting land and exchanging tea slaves······

Because he had seen the Huns not long ago, the Xiongnu messenger reminded Tuyuhun that once the war between Liangzhou and the Han eased, he would free up his hands to deal with the Qinghai region; Although Tuyuhun still nominally respects the Great Jin Dynasty in recent years, it has been cut off for a long time since the Jin family moved south, and it is really very independent, just one name away······

So some nobles thought that they should ally with the Xiongnu and let the Han State re-canonize Tuyan as the king, and even assign the land of Liangzhou to Tuyuhun as pasture.

A nobleman said bluntly: "The so-called tea slave market, Liangzhou just wants slaves." If we promise them, Han'er will have more warriors to deal with us in the future. ”

Jiang Cong said: "Even if we don't join the mutual market, the Zhang family of Liangzhou can exchange slaves from the Western Regions and other places." ”

The man just said: "We don't lack anything, but we have to lose the population." Although the tea in the Central Plains was good, it was useless to enhance Tuyuhun's military strength. ”

Jiang Cong said: "I think the kind of armor that Liang Jun wears is good, and it is said that it can be invulnerable. We might as well try exchanging slaves for armor. ”

"It's all your good son who provokes right and wrong, if it weren't for Liang Jun coming to the door to ask the teacher for guilt, why bother so much?"

Jiang Cong said angrily: "The king hasn't convicted me yet, what qualifications do you have to be ashamed!" ”

He said that he saluted Tuyan, who sat on the throne without saying a word, and said: "There are Liang people in the north, and the Central Plains in the south, and my Tuyuhun people only accommodate themselves in the land of Qinghai. The Liang army is not as weak as rumored, but it is very strong, they dare to compete head-on with the Han State, and even take the initiative to attack, they are definitely not our enemy, and they must not easily turn their faces against it. ”

Li Yiyin nodded yes, and the Long Xiang Army under Zhang Jun really impressed him. At the same time, he also thought in his heart that it was not yet time for Tuyuhun to break away from the name of the Great Jin Dynasty and establish a country on his own. Although the Great Jin Dynasty moved south, it still occupies more than half of the land and the vast majority of the population in the world, which cannot be underestimated. The general trend is not optimistic, and there is no need to rush to stand in line.

In fact, Tuyuhun has grown over the years, and it has not been controlled by the Central Plains, but as long as the Central Plains is nominally worshipped, the Central Plains will also be rewarded. There is really no need to take risks.

Tuyan pondered as he reached out and touched his sideburns and cheeks, and the wrinkles and furrows at his hands reminded him that his age was no longer forgiving. I am afraid that the great ambition in my heart will have to be handed over to future generations to accomplish······

Now, if we can leave a relatively relaxed situation and an opportunity to recharge for future generations, it is within our ability.

He couldn't help but look at his daughter Mingyue, who was standing at the bottom, this girl had been educated as a boy since she was a child, although she didn't expect him to accept the throne, but at least she couldn't let her son-in-law's power steal Tuyuhun's national ancestry. It seems that she should find a wishful husband for her, and that Zhang Jun seems to be good. Han'er can't go up to the plateau, so he doesn't have to worry that Liangzhou will capture Qinghai, but can be used as a strong reinforcement to consolidate his daughter's position.

Thinking of this, Tuyan finally spoke: "The Huns are just talking, this king looks at it, and the young general of Liangzhou is still quite sincere to Tuyuhun. You can send someone to Guzang to discuss the matter with your uncle. ”

Jiang Cong didn't know that his daughter-in-law was gone, and he proposed wholeheartedly: "You can propose to exchange armor, and then we promise to have a harmonious relationship······ As for renting land, let's drag it out first. When they're gone, will they be able to come back? You must know that the plateau is our world, and even if Han'er wants to occupy it, it will not be tenable. ”

A nobleman said: "We don't want tea, we want armor, it will cause the suspicion of the Zhang family in Liangzhou." ”

Jiang Cong said disapprerovingly: "Tuyuhun is a threat on all sides, why should we hide the martial style?" Liang Ren really wants to be suspicious, and there is no way. ”

Tuyan was noncommittal, and only announced the adjournment of the meeting, saying that he would have to think about it again.

PS: It's been over 500,000 since I wrote it here, in fact, to be honest, I just had a temporary attitude at the beginning, and I never thought it would last so long. I would like to thank Master for bringing me into the novel writing industry, tirelessly helping me change the beginning of the novel, helping me change the outline, and even having him review every chapter of my work at the beginning. "July New Episode" has done a lot for me, and it also reflects that the friendship between classmates when I was a student is much purer than after I entered the society.

I paid for the manuscript last month, and I didn't seem to have invited Master to have a good meal, so I felt a little guilty. In addition, the street of this book is also very sorry for the "July New Series". I always say that I write a book for the first time, lack of experience and other excuses, but in fact, in the final analysis, corn is too lazy. Without 100% effort, how can you expect the novel to become popular?

Corn knows that the rhythm of this book is terrible, the cool points are not prominent, and it is basically an unpleasant type, plus it is written in a completely unheard of era and dynasty that many people have heard of, so it is strange not to hit the streets. Before it hit the drain, the corn was already burning fragrant. The only thing I feel sorry for is that I am sorry for the book friends along the way, without your daily voting, tipping and comment encouragement, Maize may have given up a long time ago. This book has come to this point, thanks to your actual credit, and the remaining 30% is corn.

People around me have advised me to give up, including some book friends who said that it is not easy to write so much, so give up. But Maize always felt that it was a pity to let go like this, and it was not my style of doing things, since I decided to write a novel, I should have a beginning and an end, at least get a complete story out, otherwise I can't explain it to myself. What's more, there are a lot of book friends rewarding, if there is no ending, I'm really sorry for everyone.

Alas, in fact, I have been drinking, eating, masturbating, drinking, and KTV from this morning until now, and the corn is hangover again, and I feel a little emotional······
