In late April, Zhao Wuxian had already arrived in Yongdu with a large army, and after learning that the city was empty, he did not rush into the city, but camped outside the city and went to the White Emperor Temple in the suburbs first. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Liu De, a native of Liyang County, Fengyi County, was originally a Qin, and later took refuge in Zhao with his family, and he was very skilled in the etiquette allusions of Qin.

"In that year, Qin Xianggong attacked the dog Rong to save Zhou, and began to be listed as a prince because of his merits. After Qin became a prince, he was finally able to sacrifice to his gods, so Qin Xianggong made a sacrifice to the White Emperor Shaohao, sacrificing a foal, a cow, and a sheep. When he arrived at Qin Wengong, he got an auspicious omen between Huang and Wei Ershui, and dreamed of the white snake that God had incarnated, so he established the Yan Dynasty and continued to sacrifice the White Emperor with three animal gifts. ”

"After Qin Degong moved the capital to Yongcheng, Yongcheng is the sun of Qishan, the terrain is high, it is the dwelling place of the gods, there are three witch gods of Wu Xian, Da Shen Juqiu, and Ya Luo, in order to let the Qin people multiply here, they established the White Emperor Temple again, every sacrifice, with livestock up to 300 heads, and also split dogs and horses in all directions of the city, in order to prevent Gu disasters and ......"

After finishing speaking, Liu De bowed down and said: "Dare to ask the prince, what specifications should be used to worship the White Emperor now?" “

"Referring to the etiquette of the three ancestors of the Qin State, Qin Xianggong, Qin Wengong, and Qin Degong, Wuxian will bathe and fast for five days, and worship them with 100 heads of red horses, oxen, and lambs to show sincerity."

Five days later, Zhao Wuxian came again as scheduled, looking at the White Emperor Temple in front of him, wearing a plain white dress, his face was very pious and solemn.

There is an ancient saying in the Central Plains, called "the gods are not of the same kind, and the people are not of the same race", which is the Chinese concept of blood food, which means that the gods will not enjoy the sacrifices of the non-our race, and the people also refuse to recognize the gods of other races. However, the White Emperor Shaohao, who was sacrificed by the Qin people in front of him, was also the ancestral god of the Zhao family.

Shao Hao is the ancestor of the surname Ying, but also the origin of the Xuanniao totem, Shao Hao built the poor Sang country, once the center of the ancient civilization in the East, but later, the center of civilization has been transferred to Xia, Shang, the surname Ying is only as the princes of Fangguo, subject to Xia Shang. In the Zhou Dynasty, the ancestors of Qin and Zhao were even more defeated in the war, captured to Zong Zhou, and became a shepherd slave, and slowly regained the status of nobility, or listed as princes, or became the secretary of a great power.

However, the sacrifice of the ancestors surnamed Ying has never been cut off, Zhao is so, and Qin is also so, but although Shaohao in this era is called the White Emperor, he is the emperor of the East, and he is not the "Emperor of the West" after the Five Elements Theory prevailed.

In any case, this is one of the few things that Qin and Zhao have in common, and Zhao Wuxian's intention is to conquer and assimilate the Qin people, often emphasizing that Zhao and Qin are originally a family, and it is natural to write a big deal about this.

For this reason, he also specially invited the monarch of Tan Guoguo, who was far away in the east and was surnamed Ying, so that he could witness this scene as the same clan as Ying......

On the first day of the fifth lunar month, Tan Zi, who came from thousands of miles to support Zhao Hou, wore traditional bird clothes and saluted with Liu De, so that Zhao soldiers would slaughter all the red horses, cattle and sheep collected from 100 heads, and the blood of the animals was like an infusion.

Under the solemn music, Zhao Wuxian cooperated with Qin Bo to enter the White Emperor Temple and present their sacrifices.

"The world is big, and the summers are wide, all of them are standing in people. All people in the world have their origins, and the world cannot forget their ancestors without thinking about their origins. The heirs of Zhao and Qin Benying's surnames should be ancestors of the White Emperor Shaohao. ”

"Xi and the dragon, the sun shines on the Haidai. White Emperor Shaohao, the state of poor mulberry.

The selection of talents and talents, discipline and program. Famous officials with birds, like the East. ”

"The star of Yaoguang is like a rainbow through the moon. If the shore of the water, the descent.

Emperor Gao Yangxi, Ze was eight directions. Conquer the territory and open up the territory, and become a majestic state. ”

"The eggs of the Xuanniao are swallowed by the female cultivators. The great cause of having children begins with boeze. ”

Bo Yi Mingde, help Yu to control the water. Emperor Seok Hyun-gyu, the heir is great! ”

"The descendants of Boyi are scattered everywhere. Or in China, or in Yidi.

Emperor Wu Tang, Zhengyu is the fourth. The Battle of Narujo, Feichang Imperial Soup. ”

"The world has meritorious, in order to support the country. The surname Ying is more obvious, so he is a prince

Makino is oceanic, bleeding and drifting. Fei Lian came and died in the ...... of Rongjiang"

This long eulogy begins with Shaohao's poor Sang Kingdom, and has gone through thousands of years of history, telling the tragic experience of the ancestors of the Qin and Zhao clans after the Battle of Muye, as well as their respective deeds of overcoming many obstacles and re-emerging as doctors, Qing clans, and princes.

All the time, it has been told to this day.

"The dragon is ten times, and the big gluten is the inheritance. Banggi thousands of miles, the people stopped.

Zhao and Qin were unified and worked together. Respect my ancestors, Fu Wei is still feasting!"

After that, Zhao Wuxian bowed down to the statue of the White Emperor, and then pulled up the Qin Bo Thorn, who was at his mercy like a marionette, and the two of them held hands, walked out of the White Emperor Temple, and said to the tens of thousands of Qin people and the army of Zhao who came to watch the ceremony:

"Brothers are against the wall, and the outside is humiliated. Qin and Zhao were originally a family, divided four hundred years ago, and merged four hundred years later, today Zhao and Qin are united again, heaven and earth, ghosts and gods, my ancestor White Emperor Shaohao's clan, the great witch Wuxian, the great Shen Juqiu, the camel, and thousands of soldiers and civilians to learn from it! ”

……

After using the act of sacrificing the common ancestor of the White Emperor Shaohao clan to calm down the hundreds of thousands of people who were worried in Qindi, Zhao Wuxian officially entered Yongdu.

Not as rude and direct as the annexation of Lu, Wei, and Zheng, this time, he was very careful to worship the temples of the successive monarchs of the Qin State one by one, respecting them as his own uncles and ancestors. In this way, some of the nobles of the Qin State who were lucky and did not go west to Longxi were also a lot more relieved.

After that, Zhao Wuxian lived in the Dazheng Palace, and recruited the Qin people who escaped from Yongdu and fled into the mountains and forests as Zhao Qin Gongjun.

And his attitude towards Qin Bo also changed from kind to severe:

"Although Qin Zhao is compatible, there are some things that are different from what was said before!"

In the Dazheng Palace, Zhao Wuxian's face sank like water, he thought that Qin Boshu had played a little trick and deliberately let the people of Yongdu escape, leaving only an empty city, but Qin Boshu flatly denied it, saying that all this was the self-made assertion of the eldest son Pu.

"Thorn, Hugh must be smart!"

After warning Qin Bo to stab him in this way, Zhao Wuxian asked him to step down and instead discussed with the accompanying generals how to deal with the remnants of the Qin forces in Longxi.

Longxi, that is, the area of Tianshui and Lixian in Gansu in later generations, was called Xichen in the Zongzhou era. It is the hometown of Qin, Qin's ancestor Qin Zhong was a doctor in the west, defended the western border for the Zhou family, and fought a bloody battle with the Rong people for several generations, before opening up a piece of land in the thorns and grasses, which was the foundation of Qin's state, and because it was in the west of Longshan (Liupan Mountain), it was called Longxi.

Later, although Qin Degong moved the capital east to Yong, but the west palace was retained, after the full implementation of the county system in Qin, Longxi now has four counties of Xi, Shangqi, Hebei and Inuqiu, and there are 100,000 Qin people.

"Coupled with the forty or fifty thousand people who have moved west one after another over the years, as well as the Rongdi Xiaoyi who is vassalized with Qin, I am afraid that there are still 200,000 people in Longxi." Liu De reported so, and said: "But Longxi has always been very poor, no sericulture, every year in May the ice and snow thaw, August wheat is ripe, so Qin gave up there, east into Jingwei, Qin Mugong also until in the east hit the head and broke the bloodstream, only turned to the west to collect Qunrong, although the hegemony of Xirong, in fact, there is no actual benefit, just because the west of Longshan, is too poor." ”

Shangjun Zhao Yi had a different opinion: "Otherwise, the poor mountains and bad waters, the people are fierce, and the Qin people in Longxi can send one to twenty thousand soldiers, if they are entrenched for a long time and go east, it will definitely become a big disaster in the west, and it must be eliminated!" ”

Zhao Jia did not agree to attack Longxi, and said: "But Longshan is towering, one hundred and eighty miles from east to west, difficult to cross, the Qin people are guarding Longguan, attacking from Yongdu, it is bound to suffer heavy losses, even if Longxi is taken, the gains outweigh the losses." For the sake of a district in Longxi, and let the army delay in Qin for a long time, I am afraid that it will delay the prince and marquis to go south to attack Chu next year, so that the world is set in one big plan! ”

"Let the widow think."

Zhao Wuxian hesitated, Guanzhong is the upper reaches of the world, Longyou is the upper reaches of Guanzhong, and Xichen is the mouthpiece of Guanlong, according to the original plan, he wants to take all the Qin State, including Longxi, but now, Qin's recalcitrant people have all gone to Longxi, which is a good thing for ruling Feng Ho and Yongdi, I am afraid that they will not forget to go east to recover their homeland, collude with Rong Di, and be troubled for a long time.

After thinking about it, someone came to report, saying that Yiqu Rong, Wushi Rong and others heard that Zhao had merged with Qin, and they sent envoys to meet him.

Zhao Wuxian laughed and said: "Yiqu was only broken by the Qin people at the beginning of the year, with more than 10,000 casualties, and the Yiqu Jun who had asked the widows to destroy Qin ten years ago was also seriously injured and died. ”

After thinking about it, Zhao Wuxian ordered the army to fight hard and make a posture of going north to attack Yiqu, so frightened that the envoys of Yiqu could only kneel and climb in when they entered Yongcheng, completely losing their self-esteem back then.

However, Zhao Wuxian didn't expect that the highlight of the Qunrong Dynasty this time was not Yiqu, but Wushi Rong......

Wushi Rong was a tribe in the northern section of Longshan (around Guyuan, Ningxia), known for their trade and trade, and they did not specialize in plundering cities like the Yiqu people, but made a living by doing jade trading between the Qin State and the tribes of the Hexi Corridor.

So after the envoy of Yiqu was frightened out of the palace, the envoy of Wushi Rong was led in, although the Wushi people were engaged in the business of merchants and well-informed, but under the prestige of Zhao Jun, they were still a little trembling.

However, just as Zhao Wuxian was standing high in the hall, waiting for them to worship, he suddenly saw that among the envoys of the Wu clan with left hair and leather jackets, there was also a middle-aged man with a right side of the spine, and he was still holding something in his hand, like a branch and a stick......

Seeing the prince and the lord, how could he hold such a thing, the guard of Zhao Guoyulin at the tail of the palace wanted to take away the thing in his hand, but the man resolutely refused to obey and held the object to death!

"Bold, how dare you be rude in front of the prince!" Seeing that the man and the Yulin guards were hugging each other, their helmets and armor were shining, Zhao Jia, the general standing in the hall, walked over with a frown, shouting and scolding, wanting to expel the man.

However, when he got closer, Zhao Jia's body was stunned, his pace was chaotic, he ignored etiquette, ran quickly to the side of the "Wu family", looked at him carefully, and then hugged him and cried.

There was a commotion in the hall, no one cared about the Wu people anymore, and everyone's eyes were fixed on Zhao Jia and the unidentified person.

"Come, come!" Zhao Jia knew that he was out of shape, so he quickly wiped away his tears, pulled the man, and walked towards the center of the hall.

No one tried to stop them, because their prince Zhao Wuxian had already personally descended to the center of the hall, looking at the person who was limping towards him with Zhao Jia's support, and his expression was excited.

Zhao Wuxian, who once insulted the princes like a bully, and carried out poisonous tricks like a commonplace, is extremely uncalm at this moment.

He saw clearly that the thing in the man's hand was a scepter! Although the knots are almost completely light, there is still one last flower that remains strong on it.

Wuxian pointed to the man:

"Are you...... You are ......"

"It's me, it's me!"

Only ten steps, the man with a thick beard on his face burst into tears, tears in his eyes, he held a scepter, limped down to bow down, and made a great gift to the king of the five bodies.

Bowed once, bowed again, a total of nine times, and red marks appeared on his forehead, and then he said in a trembling voice......

"The ministers and willows go down to the Yue, knock to see the prince!"

……

"It's been eight years, Ziqian, it's been eight years since you went to hollow out the Western Regions."

Recalling that after the meeting at the Yellow Pond that year, he personally sent this young man to the west with the festival, Zhao Wuxian sighed. In the blink of an eye, eight years have passed, Zhao is no longer the Zhao State of the year, it has unified the Central Plains, and it is only one step away from coming to Jiuding, and Zhao Hou Huafa has been born.

The young Yanagishita was no longer young, the wind and frost made his skin rough, and the danger he encountered on the way made his arms and chest full of scars, the claws of wild beasts, and the marks of swords slashed...... Coupled with a thick beard, this haggard thirty-year-old man in the prime of life looked about the same age as Zhao Wuxian. At first glance, it looks a little similar to the thief who died in Taolinsai many years ago.

After a long absence, he was overjoyed, always eating and laughing there.

"The minister also thinks that he can't come back alive in this life."

After a sigh, Zhao Wuxian got to the point, he was very concerned about Liu Xiayue's whereabouts.

"Before you left, we predicted the route, go to the Hexi Yue Clan Country, and you can return in one or two years, even if you really go to the Tianshan West Queen Mother Country, two or three years is enough, why do you go for eight years?"

"I didn't expect to go for so long......

Probably because he didn't speak Zhongyuan for many years, Liu Xia Yue was a little slurred when he spoke, and he could only say word by word, and it may take some time for him to recover as before. At this moment, there are obviously a thousand words, but he can't say them, he speaks eagerly, and strange alien words often pop out of his mouth, just listening to those strange pronunciations, you can imagine that he once went to the far west that the Central Plains people can't imagine at all.

In the end, his face turned red and he didn't explain the matter, Liu Xia Yue simply stopped struggling, he took out a sheepskin map full of routes, cities, mountains and rivers from his arms, and presented it to Zhao Wuxian.

"The minister will not be able to say clearly for a while, but when the minister comes, he has drawn the routes of the mountains and rivers he passes through, and the cities and countries he passes through on the map, and he also asks the prince to take a look!"

"Take your time, don't rush, don't rush."

Zhao Wuxian smiled, took the map, his eyes swept from right to left, and his complexion suddenly changed.

"You didn't just go to the Western Regions, Tianshan ......"

He looked at Yanagi Shitakoshi, his eyes full of surprise.

"You also went to Persia!?"

PS: Persia in the Western Regions and the like, it belongs to the content of the biography, and the side story of one or two hundred years after Zhao Wuxian's death begins here. You don't have to worry about the author to force the world without regard for productivity, and there are less than twenty chapters left in the main text.
