In mid-October, Zhao Wuxian and his entourage had just arrived at Hanquan-eup, and the weather had been gloomy for many days, and finally it was snowing.

Perhaps because of the location in Daibei, the snowfall here is earlier than in the Central Plains. At night, the snow falls, and as far as the eye can see, houses, trees, pastures, and farmland are covered with night snow.

Hanquan is a small city, the size is only one-fifth of the city, there are not many houses here, even Zhao Wuxian's relatives are not satisfied, outside the largest room in the city, the Yulin guards stand under the snow in armor and fire, let the wind and snow blow, the eyes only fall on the wall and the wooden door, standing still.

Zhao Wuxian sat in the room drinking warm wine, and Qi Wan, the chief official of Yulinwei, also took off his armor and sat opposite him.

"These young guys are good, you're training well." After speaking, he handed Qi Wan a glass of steaming wine.

Qi Wan respectfully took the wine cup and said: "It has been eight years since Shangqing founded the Yulin Orphan Army, and those little teenagers are now at the age of weak crowns, and most of their parents are Yuntai martyrs who died on the battlefield. ”

"For the country, such as the prosperity of the forest, I have great expectations for them." With the formation of Yu Linwei, they began to gradually replace the "black clothes" of the pro-guard retainers of the Zhao Dynasty and were in charge of Zhao Wuxian's guards. Not only that, but Wuxian also hopes to further improve and recognize their status, so that Yulin can become a symbol of continuing military traditions and family honor, and thus establish the Langwei system to cultivate a group of grassroots officers who are loyal to them.

Now Wu Jing's two sons are still young and are still training in Yecheng, but there is an acquaintance in the feather forest that accompanied him this time: the cadre and Mo Ye's son Meijian Chi.

"This Wu Yue kid's swordsmanship is amazing, he can fight one against five, but his temperament is too withdrawn, and he is from the south, so he is quite isolated among the Yulin orphans who are mainly Jin, Lu, and Song people." Speaking of the red eyebrows, Qi Wan had a headache, this child is not suitable for the collective life of the army, but is like a ranger and assassin who fights alone......

"Or it would be appropriate to be a traveling agent who went deep into the enemy country to find out the news."

"Does the Zhao clan lack a guerrilla spy? This child must stay with me and there must be no slip-ups. Zhao Wuxian also felt a little tricky, the red between his eyebrows was not only his personal guard, but also a hostage.

Mo Xie has been serving the Zhao family for seven years, she has been with the craftsmen to explore and improve the method of iron smelting many times, the output is rising day by day, although both quantity and quality, have not reached the level of the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, but Ludi, Jin Di seems to have run into the iron age, now iron mines and iron workshops in Mount Tai, Handan and other places everywhere, although the Jin State lacks copper and tin, but it is the main iron production area of later generations, agricultural tools, weapons are constantly forged. The arrival of Mo Xie has brought significant progress to agriculture and the military, as evidenced by the conquest of Dai Guo this time, as evidenced by the fact that the Zhao clan completely crushed Dai Rong in terms of equipment.

This woman is too important, so her only son, Zhao Wuxian, can be said to stay by her side, as the ten-year covenant of revenge for their mother and daughter to the Chu State is getting closer and closer, Zhao Wuxian has to be on guard.

On the second day after arriving at Hanquan, the wind and snow stopped, and Zhao Wuxian had the opportunity to go out of Xiaoyi and go to the vicinity of the spring to take a peek of the nearby.

The name of Hanquan comes from a spring, looking at it from a distance, it is like a jade belt, winding at the junction of the North China Plain and the Taihang Mountains, because it is living water, there is no freezing, and it reflects the crystal light under the newborn sunrise.

"Legend has it that the Yellow Emperor and Chi You fought here for the first time, and it was here that the water was taken." Yi Dun's words made Zhao Wuxian slightly startled, Hanquan, isn't it the place where the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor fought? Why did the protagonist become Chiyou!?

……

"The Yellow Emperor taught the bears to pi the leopard and the tiger five beasts, in order to fight with Chiyou in the field of the version of the spring, this is indeed recorded in the classics of the Zhou Dynasty, this is what the "Yi" said, 'the battle in Hanzhao, Chiyou defeated and left', on the eve of the battle of Chengpu that year, the Jin Wen envoy Bu Yan divination, said: Ji, when the Yellow Emperor fought in Hanquan, it was the Yellow Emperor who compared Jin to the righteous Yellow Emperor, and the Chu State was compared to Chiyou."

Xiang Lu, who accompanied him, asked, and this legend that was different from what Zhao Wuxian knew was confirmed.

He suppressed the surprise in his heart and said with a smile: "In the legend, the end of the Shaohao clan is also, Jiuli is chaotic, Chiyou is the minister of the Shaohao clan, and I have a lot to do with the surname Ying, Xuanyuan killed two Hao, Chiyou and became the emperor, so far the Qi country where Jiuyi lives together still has the tradition of sacrificing Chiyou, maybe the ancestors of the surname Ying were just on the side of the Chiyou camp and were hostile to the Yellow Emperor." ”

Xiang Lu was a little embarrassed for a while, and didn't know how to answer, after Lu Guo was the Duke of Zhou, Ji Zhou Xiang appointed himself as the Yellow Emperor, so the Yellow Emperor has always appeared as a righteous image in the official legends of Lu State, but for the descendants of the loser, this is not the case.

Ignoring Xiang Lu's embarrassment, Zhao Wuxian looked at the snow-capped Hanquan Field and fell into deep thought.

He now believes in the exposition of the "Ancient History Debate" of later generations: ancient history is a layered accumulation of facts and imagination, and the more people in later generations, the longer and more detailed the imagination of antiquity.

Therefore, it is not surprising that the details of the Yanhuang War in this era have not yet been formed.

Zhao Wuxian boldly guessed, "The Yellow Emperor defeated the Yan Emperor in Hanquan; Emperor Yan has the world to pass on the Yellow Emperor", these things that have not yet come to the world are the ghosts of Tian Qi during the Warring States Period, so as to find a historical basis for the surname Jiang after the Chen family after the Yellow Emperor replaced the Yan Emperor.

Anyway, the sources of legends are varied, the Jin State has a set, the Chu State has a set, and the Qi State naturally has a set, each saying its own thing. Tian Qi trumpeted that his ancestor Yellow Emperor had defeated Emperor Yan in Hanquan, and that he had been released through the Jixia Academy, and when other legends gradually disappeared into dust, what still existed became an ancient history that future generations believed.

History is a little girl who can be dressed up, especially ancient history, not to mention smearing the merits of the ancestors, and even pretending to be the ancestors is not surprising. Yue Guo is an example, the interesting thing is that in Zhao Wuxian's era, Yue still did not take Dayu as his ancestor, and Yu Yue was still a barbarian from the Central Plains, which was probably Gou Jian's victory over Wu to the north to fight for hegemony, and climbed out of culture and blood inferiority.

In later generations, relying on the lonely evidence on the "Historical Records", even the Huns proclaimed themselves after Xia Yu, and Helian Bobo also established the Great Xia Kingdom. However, the Xiongnu, Xianbei ancestors Xia Yu, and the Yellow Emperor, everyone did not believe it, but the Spring and Autumn Period was not far away, and the generations of the country, Zhongshan, and Yue in this era pretended to be their ancestors, and they came and went to become true.

Zhao Wuxian does not reject this, this is the embodiment of the centripetal force and identity of the barbarian culture in Zhongxia. It's like two thousand years later, some indigenous ethnic minorities in Yunnan, when they talk about their ancestors, they are "from Nanjing Liushuwan", because they are inferior to culture and identity, so they regard themselves as immigrants.

And the more the times passed, the central figure in the legend became bigger and bigger, after the Zhou people replaced Yin Shang to gain the world, as the ancestor of Ji Zhou, the image of the Yellow Emperor was smeared with more and more halos, and his image was getting farther and farther away from the beginning.

However, the trend of thought of great unification in this era has not yet taken shape, so the grafting and integration of the lineage of the Five Emperors has not yet been completed, as far as Zhao Wuxian knows, no one has yet linked Shaohao and Taihao, which originated from the branches of Dongyi Great God and the lineage of Yanhuang.

Qin Zhao, who is surnamed Ying, only admits that the maternal line is from the descendants of the Yellow Emperor, and the paternal line is still from Shaohao. If anyone stands up and says "Shao Hao is the son of the Yellow Emperor", he will definitely be glared at by Wu Zhu, surnamed Ying, and be regarded as a madman.

Even the Song Kingdom, a descendant of Yin Shang, never mentioned that they were the queen of the Yellow Emperor at this time...... Gaozu Xin is still an independent line, but he has some relationship with the Di people and Toyi.

Zhao Wuxian can roughly predict why the lineage of various ethnic groups in ancient times will be wantonly altered and grafted: Zhou Daiji and Jiang princes are all over the world, as the ancestors of the victors, Yan Huang's status also exceeds the ancestors of Shaohao, Taihao and other losers, and it is even higher in the sacrifices of various countries, and subtly, the ancestors of the conquerors have also become ancient emperors admired by the natives.

During the Warring States Period, "the world is set to be one" has become a consensus, although politically unification has been delayed, but the princes and historians have consciously contributed to this, and the Yellow Emperor has slowly evolved in the "World Book" and has become the ancestor of all surnames in the world.

Ying Qin, for the purpose of one day, had no way to reverse the situation, so he turned a blind eye to this, and just silently sacrificed Shaohao to say that his source came from here. In the Han Dynasty, through the historical record "Five Emperors Benji", this grafting was fixed as a fact, and it was believed by the world.

The so-called "descendants of Yan and Huang" came out like this, and it was really the winner who was the king and the loser was the thief, Erhao, Chiyou, and even their own sources were swallowed up and annihilated.

It was not until after the Ming and Qing dynasties that suspicion of antiquity prevailed, and some people slowly questioned the ancient history full of loopholes.

However, the examiners have overlooked a problem, which is that this is a political ancestor-making movement, and it doesn't matter what the facts are.

Therefore, Zhao Wuxian suddenly thought that if he was unhappy, he would take advantage of the political power and the school palace to drum up public opinion, write classics, and maintain the confrontation between Emperor Jun Shaohao and Taihao and Shaodian Yellow Emperor and Emperor Yan.

But he will not do this, if he wants to promote unity, the various surnames of the world in Kyushu need a common ancestor.

If you really don't have one, then you have to make one!

However, it is a bit strange to let Zhao Wuxian, a descendant of Shaohao Ying, brazenly call himself a descendant of Yan and Huang, if nothing else, Song Guo will definitely be the first to stand up and disagree.

But after making up the Yellow Emperor and Emperor Yandi, it is actually after Erhao, and people in China will be called "descendants of Erhao" in the future? He hasn't been so shameless, not to mention that it is too difficult to make the Eastern lineage counterattack in the late Spring and Autumn Period, when Yanhuang's status has been deeply rooted.

So Zhao Wuxian secretly thought: "It seems that we have to make up an ancient god above the Yellow Emperor, Emperor Yan, Shao Hao, Tai Hao, and Gao Zu Xin." Or Di Jun, let's say that he is the incarnation of the Emperor of Heaven in the world, Di Jun gave birth to Shaodian's family, and gave birth to Erhao, Shaodian's family gave birth to Yellow Emperor and Emperor Yan, and the ancestors of each branch became brothers and uncles in this way, although the brothers were separated, but after all, they were a family, and sooner or later they would return to the unified ......"

Fabricating ancient history should be done from an early age, through recording and disseminating advantages, so that generations later will believe it, and Zhao Wuxian will start working on this matter after preparing to return to Yecheng......

After the winter snow stopped, the messenger that Zhao Wuxian was waiting for finally came, but the people of Yan Kingdom were blocked by the snowfall and could not arrive in time.

Seeing that the Zhongshan envoy arrived uninvited, Zhao Wuxian was not surprised, it was a strange thing that they did not come, but after seeing the Zhongshan envoy who was dressed like the Jin Kingdom, Zhao Wuxian suddenly remembered something.

Interestingly, Xianyu Bai Di is also a representative of Rong Di who recognized his ancestors in order to make Zhuxia recognize, and he also made a big oolong, after they proclaimed themselves as Yin Shangzi's surname for the first time, they changed their words for the second time, thinking that they were the surname of Zhou Muji, which caused later generations of researchers to be very troubled by this......
