Chapter 462: Proverbial nonsense

"Hu has no hundred years of luck!"

In the first year of Long An, this proverb from unknown sources suddenly spread wildly everywhere.

If during the Yongjia period, Hu Lu was in his prime, perhaps the Hu would disdain, at most thinking that it was just a helpless cry of the Han people.

But now the situation is different, since the great victory in the water and the rise of the capital in the northwest, the Hulu forces have been weakening day by day.

Murong Xianbei, who originally dominated the world, fell, and the Qiang people, who once occupied Guanzhong and were expected to become the second former Qin, can only hide in Chang'an for a long time.

And Tuoba Xianbei, although it has the atmosphere of a new dynasty, but the fiasco of Shuofang that year cast a shadow on the future of Wei.

When everyone thought about it so carefully, they found that Hulu, who had dominated the world for nearly a hundred years, seemed to be really about to perish.

Linked to that proverb, it suddenly made the Han people in the world excited, and the Hulu everywhere were in a panic.

In Chinese history, proverbs are both mysterious and quite useful.

Prophecy, or prophecy, is usually the use of cryptic and volatile language to predict future events.

The systematic interpretation of prophecy is the prophecy.

At the end of every dynasty, there will be proverbs that appear and play a role to a greater or lesser extent.

It is not surprising that the proverb occurs when "the country will not be the country".

After all, "the country is about to die, listen to God", and anyone who goes to the country and the family will die, it will be strange.

Now Hou Qin has indeed had some signs of "the country will not be a country", since the Pingyang fiasco, Yao Xingli Buddha, Hou Qin is like Wang Xiaoer's New Year, a year is not as good as a year.

A large amount of manpower and material resources were wasted on Buddhist affairs, resulting in a serious weakening of the strength of the state.

In addition, Hexi threatened the safety of Hou Qin all the time.

At the beginning of spring this year, most of the guards led tens of thousands of troops, and the troops entered the customs in a big way.

In the face of the powerful offensive of the Hexi Army, the Qin army in various places almost collapsed at the touch of a button, and Xinping, Beidi, and Feng Yi fell successively.

Today, the Later Qin Dynasty has lost a large area of land on the north bank of Weishui, leaving only a few counties in Weinan.

At this time, a proverb came to Chang'an, causing an uproar.

Yao Hong, Yao Min, Yao Huang and other Qiang people were very unhappy when they heard about it, and they sent people to find out the origin of the rumors.

However, the effect is not ideal, and the rumors and rumors are intensifying.

In the face of gossip from the outside world, Yao Hong was both panicked and a little at a loss.

It was not good for him to ask Yin Wei and other Hanchen for their opinions on this kind of thing, so in the end he had to summon Prime Minister Yao Huang and Taiwei Yao Min to discuss secretly.

Yao Huang and Yao Min are rare and knowledgeable people in the Qiang nationality, and they are known as the four great talents of the Qiang nationality together with Yao Shuode and Di Bozhi.

Unlike Yao Shuode and Di Bozhi, who are good at military affairs and orthodox soldiers are outside, Yao Huang and Yao Min always stay in Chang'an to assist the government.

The two arrived at the palace one after the other, but they both found that the atmosphere in the palace today was very different from the past.

Those chamberlains and palace ladies were all cautious, and their faces were full of uneasiness.

It seems that this proverb has made the prince very unhappy recently.

"Your Highness."

"Two of you, please get up, come here, and set up a seat for the two Qing families."

"Today, the two Qing family members are here, and they have important matters to discuss."

"Your Highness, even if you have something to order, your ministers will be ruined."

Yao Min rolled his eyes, buried his head and whispered, "Your Highness, are you worried about the recent proverbs?" ”

"Yes, I don't know when a proverb suddenly arose in Guanzhong, saying that there is no hundred years of luck."

"Ridiculous! Not to mention our Qiang people, didn't the Xiongnu also exist for hundreds of years?! It is said to be older than the Han dynasty. ”

Looking at the somewhat angry prince Yao Hong, Yao Huang and Yao Min couldn't help but sigh secretly.

Speaking of which, it is still a proverb that appeared at an inopportune time, and now Hou Qin is facing life and death, and the crown prince Yao Hong is racking his brains to continue Hou Qin Guozuo.

As a result, a sentence of Hu Wu Centennial Luck directly broke up the hearts of the people who had just been condensed in Later Qin.

Hu Lu, who was originally attached to Hou Qin, was already panicked, but now he is even more detached.

Due to the relatively backward and conservative Hulu culture, at some point, the Hulu believed in the destiny of heaven more than the Han Chinese.

In their opinion, the decline of Hulu is predestined by God anyway, so why not resist to the end?!

Isn't it not unheard of for Hu Lu to surrender to the Han Chinese?! Back then, as strong as the Xiongnu, didn't they also surrender to the Han people?!

In addition to the Hulu, the Han Chinese were more affected.

Since you don't even have a hundred years of luck, why should I still take refuge in you?!

It is precisely because he knows the bad effects of proverbs that Yao Hong will seem angry.

"Your Highness, the minister thinks that eighty percent of this matter was caused by the people of Hexi."

"Hexi? Is it to deal with my Great Qin? ”

"This, this ......" Hearing this, Yao Huang's face flashed with embarrassment, and his speech became slurred.

"What? Isn't it? Yao Hong was puzzled.

"Your Highness, it's not that the minister deliberately wants to grow the morale of others to destroy his own prestige, this time it's really not to mess with me Daqin."

"In the opinion of the ministers, Hexi came up with such a proverb, it should be to deal with the Wei State."

"At present, Hebei is in chaos, and the King of Wei is eyeing him, and most of them don't want Hebei to fall into the hands of Wei."

"With such a proverb coming out, even if it still can't stop the Wei army from moving south, at least it will cause some trouble for Wei."

"Besides, this proverb will haunt the Wei State like a curse for a long time until the country is destroyed and the clan is destroyed."

"As for our Daqin, it's just a matter of picking grass and beating rabbits."

When the prime minister analyzed the cruelty of reality to the prince, Yao Hong was angry and ashamed, and couldn't help but turn red.

Obviously, he was self-inflicted, and Hexi didn't take Hou Qin in his eyes at all.

"Anyway, you can't let the rumors spread, can you? I don't know if the two Aiqing have a countermeasure? ”

"This ...... Your Highness, gossip has always been harmful, but it is not groundless and difficult to handle. ”

……

When the people in Chang'an were restless day and night for proverbs, all parts of Guanzhong also became ready to move because of rumors.

In mid-March, the Hexi army occupied Xinpingcheng, and by the end of the month, it occupied Xianyang.

With the continuous siege of the city and the seizure of land by the Hexi army, the territory of Later Qin was eroded step by step, and now the Qiang people have been compressed on the south bank of Weishui.

As for the area around Weibei, the Hexi army marched north and south together, like hunting and driving away wild beasts, driving Di Bozhi and other Hulu to death - Fuping.

Because the Hexi Army's offensive was too fast, when Hulu fled in various places, there was no time to pack up supplies and escape.

As a result, tens of thousands of Hulu were concentrated in Fuping, and there was a shortage of materials suddenly.

"General, there is a shortage of food in the city right now, and if you don't think about it, I'm afraid it won't last long."

Diberch said helplessly: "What can I do? Now that the back road has been cut off, Fuping has not had any grain and grass for half a month. ”

"General, according to the humble opinion, since there is nothing to do, it is better to surrender to Hexi, right?"

Faced with the surrender of his henchmen, Diberch fell silent.

During the period of the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms, loyalty and righteousness were very cheap, not to mention that Di Bo was born in Hulu, even if he was rich and rich, some of his behaviors and ideas were still most influenced by Hulu.

Surrender is not impossible for him, the key is what treatment he can get when he arrives in Hexi.

Seeing that Di Bozhi was silent, the henchman immediately understood that his lord was moved.

At that moment, he worked harder and harder, and said: "My lord, the fall of Chang'an is only a matter of time, and Fuping will not last long." ”

"It's better to take advantage of Fuping in hand, let's hurry up and negotiate peace with Hexi, otherwise it may be too late."

"Today, most of the capital guards the northwest, and the ministers under his command are like rain, and the soldiers are like clouds, and the power has expanded to the six states of Sha, Gua, Liang, And, Shuo, and Qin, and the momentum is huge."

"If the general leads the people to surrender, the capital protector will be pleased, and he will definitely treat the adults well."

……

After worshipping the Yellow Emperor, Wei Shuo led his army from Huangbaicheng to the north, and attacked Beidi County with Li Hui's troops in the north and south.

At this time, due to the spread of proverbs and the increasing collapse of the situation in various places, the people of Hulu everywhere were panicked.

Under the fierce attack of the Hexi army, they could only continue to flee and concentrate on Fuping City.

Over the past 100 years, due to the continuous wars, a large area of land in Beidi County has been barren, and it is difficult to find people within 100 miles.

The army marched all the way north, and there were hardly any Han Chinese to see except for Hu Lu.

The goal of this battle is very clear, that is, to recover the northern county, to fight south in the future, and to eliminate the threat behind it.

Just as the Hexi army was pressing towards Fuping, Diberch suddenly sent people over and expressed his willingness to surrender.

Fuping's surrender made a good start, and soon all the Hu Qushuai and the powerful families north of Weishui surrendered to Hexi.
