Chapter 25: The Day of Retreat I

After the war, Huyan Leopard wrote a secret letter about the situation of Longyin Cave and Shanshui Cave on the Luan River, and ordered his cronies to hand it over to Peng Fei and hand it over to Ouyang Xuan through him, because Huyan Leopard knew that Ouyang Xuan had been looking for some strange things, especially in man-made caves. A few days later, Ouyang Xuan saw the letter and flew here with five thousand personal soldiers. After secretly connecting with Huyan Leopard, I went deep into the cave to investigate, except for finding some graupel energy carriers at the bottom of the pool, and there were very ancient traces of artificial excavation on the cave wall, nothing else was found. But it also means that someone has been here and taken some of the graupel energy body with them. Through the interrogation of the prisoners of war, he knew that Lu Duan had received a letter before the war, so he had a plan for the battle of secretly Chen Cang.

On the way back to Dawan, he met with Ouyang Hong, Ma Ning, Peng Fei and Li Mu, and arranged some things. A few days later, Li Mu was appointed as the secretary of the military department, Peng Fei was appointed as the governor of the Western Regions Military Region, and Xian Yushun succeeded Peng Fei as the governor of the military region of the headquarters. In the end, only 10,000 people were left in the Yulin Army taken by Ouyang Xuan, and the others served in the central and military positions respectively. Married and had children, every ten years and the remaining Yulin Army was transferred in batches, these people from generals to captains, from county orders to Shangshu, and the Yulin soldiers in the court and the army were all uniformly deployed by Li Mu. In the Duliba base in Yinshan, Ouyang Xuan built a university, and Li Muhe's Yulin Army selected suitable candidates from all over the country to study at the base, and these people will no longer accept the assignment of the imperial court, and will only be responsible to Ouyang Xuan.

Ouyang Hong, who is the current emperor of China, has no opinion on such an arrangement, but thinks that it is reasonable, after all, this will help him to let go of the management of the country, and he can rest assured that he will hand over his back to these cronies left by Ouyang Xuan. These people are like a holy sword hanging over the land of Huaxia, correcting some mistakes in governance anytime and anywhere, and also reminding the people of Huaxia from time to time that the founder of this country is always paying attention to every move of Huaxia. Some corrupt officials and corrupt officials have nothing to hide, and officials with bad conduct have been forced to resign from their official positions in misery, so that China's political environment has been well developed. The folk also began to spread the legend of the Huaxia Holy Sword: the founder of the Huaxia Kingdom took the white wolf holy beast, holding the Hanguang Holy Sword to inspect the Huaxia territory every day. The sword splits the dangerous pass to make the road unimpeded and convenient for the people to travel. Kill the monsters and return a quiet and safe world to China. It is rumored that the sword in the hand of the king of Huaxia is extremely sharp, can split mountains and cut water, sharpen iron like mud, that holy knife is a unique weapon on the battlefield, the blade passes, the enemy army is all killed. The white wolf holy beast eats the hearts and livers of the wicked, and is a divine beast that maintains the safety of herdsmen.

Ouyang Xuan and Liu Hui in Dawan listened to Peng Fei's report on the folk legends, and smiled with a long smile. "This folk imagination is really rich enough. If my sword could split mountains, wouldn't it have saved a lot of trouble to build a railway? Forget it, just take it as a joke. By the way, Peng Dudu, now that the Great Wall in the west is nearly perfect, quickly send people to deploy defenses along the line. Favorable terrain was chosen, trade barriers were placed, and taxes were negotiated with local officials for local expenditures". "No! It's just that Your Majesty, there are a lot of herdsmen around the valley now, do you want to send troops to drive them away?" "It's just a matter of life, and I can't choose another place to live. I just like the beautiful mountains and rivers here, the climate is comfortable, and the lack of herdsmen is not the lack of humanistic breath, so don't disturb the herdsmen. Besides, my feather forest is here, what are you afraid of? ”。

What the husband said is very true, now living here, drinking shepherd's milk tea, the concubine also feels a lot younger. Raising some cattle and sheep has made my muscles and bones feel a lot more comfortable." "Minister, according to Your Majesty's will." After Peng Fei finished speaking, he bowed and withdrew from the hall. Liu Hui crouched on Ouyang Xuan's back, "Husband, let's raise some more sheep, just a few sheep, the concubine body feels boring." "Haha, you can spare my Yulin soldiers, the boss is a handful of years old, let you take the longevity water, but refuse. It's all old arms and legs, but you have to be careful." Although he says so, he still needs to support it in action. Let Peng Fei buy hundreds of small-tailed Han sheep with excellent quality at a high price in the hands of herdsmen from all over the country, and their snow-white fur is as white as snow under the careful care of the Yulin Army. In order to make this old child happy, Ouyang Xuan led Yulin Jun to study and train every day, and he bathed the sheep, and the horns of the sheep had to be carefully polished. After the improvement of the sheep breed by Duliba technology, the quality of the fur and meat has made a qualitative leap. Liu Hui, accompanied by Li Mu's mother, led Buick and Guli to ride snow-white ponies on the alpine grasslands of the valley every day, driving hundreds of snow-white sheep around, and the Yulin army guarding them followed far behind to be responsible for guarding.

Gradually, Liu Hui and the herdsmen who were grazing on the mountain became one, and they all spoke Mandarin, and there was no difficulty in communicating at all. These herdsmen only knew that Liu Hui and the woman around him were a nobleman who herded cattle by himself, which was very common in China, and because Ouyang Xuan completely abolished the slavery system, the rich nobles could only graze their own cattle or entrust their cattle and sheep to others to take care of them, and go out of the pasture by themselves. For Liu Hui to graze their thoughts, it is a boring pastime for the nobles, and they help Liu Hui drive the sheep when they have nothing to do. Later, only two Yulin were responsible for delivering news and guarding every day, because of the presence of Buick and Guli, no beast or person with malicious intent dared to approach.

Riding leisurely on white horses, Buick and Guli played back and forth in front of them, and if there was a lone sheep that broke away from the group, they would quickly run over and drive it back to the flock. This alpine meadow is very large, and it is five hundred miles away from Ouyang Xuan's palace. Ouyang Xuan had to build a courtyard on the edge of the summer pasture, and also lived a nomadic life, under the mountain in winter and moved to the mountain in summer, but Ouyang Xuan built a special road and used the means of transportation designed by the Duliba people to transport it back and forth. The days passed leisurely and freely, and the training of the Yulin Army never stopped, from individual soldiers to overall cooperation in training every day. They are also direct beneficiaries of the graupel energy, and have made a qualitative leap in terms of physical strength, intelligence, and reaction speed. Tested by the Duliba people, the ingestion of graupel energy is enough to sustain the life span of several generations without the intervention of vital organs and neural circuits, and without the intervention of space-time potential energy. Without the action of space-time potential energy, it is also the limit of the organism, beyond which it will automatically be expelled from the body, just like the white wolf. As for Buick and Guli, Elder Du Liba was also very curious, and repeatedly did several tests to no avail, after asking Ouyang Xuan about the whole process, the elder gave a possible conclusion, they may have been to a space-time node, or came into contact with substances from space-time nodes, causing a space-time potential energy difference. This not only reminded Ouyang Xuan of the great battle in Dunhuang, the sand wolf, and the giant beast. The beast tooth carving on the neck was tested by the elders, and the final result shocked all the Duliba people, because they detected a large number of energy matter and space-time fragments of seven-dimensional space on the beast teeth. Such substances were also found on the animal teeth and animal skin collars on the necks of Buick and Guli, and with the replenishment of graupel energy, they had the potential energy difference of space-time in the seven-dimensional space. This conclusion made Ouyang Xuan a little surprised, he hadn't even figured out what was going on in the five-dimensional space, and this was another seven-dimensional space.

Although the elder explained it many times, Ouyang Xuan still didn't figure it out, but he just knew that time and space were like a piece of paper, if folded in half, the space between each layer of paper would be a four-dimensional space, if it was rolled into a straight paper tube, it would be multi-dimensional, and the middle space of the paper tube would be a five-dimensional space, and if the paper was folded and rolled into a paper tube, the space between the two layers of paper would be a six-dimensional space. If the paper tube is not folded and bent, the space between the two paper tubes is a seven-dimensional space. The length of the folded paper in the four-dimensional space is time, the width is the accumulation of different time and space, and the thickness of the paper is the space on the plane of time and space. Ouyang Xuan was also confused when he heard it, there was no way, he couldn't understand this now, he could only hope that he would slowly understand and accept it in the future, after all, he was from the five-dimensional space. At the behest of the Duliba people, Ouyang Xuan took them to the valley in the Yin Mountain that they had found according to the description of the post at that time. Almost all of the local elites of the Duliba people were gathered, and the blue stone fragments became the focus of their research. After digging several deep wells and digging several deep caves, I finally found about 1,000 catties of blue soft body material in the middle of the mountain on the side of the valley, which was confirmed to be a seven-dimensional space condensed substance, containing some space-time fragments. Originally, Du Liba wanted to give Ouyang Xuan forty percent, but Ouyang Xuan didn't accept it, but just gave some to Buick and Gu Li, and kept a hundred catties for himself.

The Duliba people built another base here, because there are more beasts here, Ouyang Xuan had to transfer six battalions of troops from the northern army and the Yulin army to clean up the beasts, and I really didn't know that there would be so many mutated wolves, bears, tigers, and leopards here, one of the giant tigers was much bigger than the monsters that Ouyang Xuan killed in Dunhuang and the white bears killed in the valley of the Xiongnu Zuoxian King, which not only reminded Ouyang Xuan of the mythical beasts recorded in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", is it real? Maybe it's related to these substances, and these monsters are a benign mutation with a certain amount of advanced thinking, not a deformity, as far as the monsters mentioned in the instructions are likely to have existed, but they have died out in the long river of history.

Thinking about it now, Ouyang Xuan was a little afraid, that afternoon Ouyang Xuan took five hundred Yulin troops to find this fanged giant tiger less than five miles away from the valley, with two tails, legs and feet as thick as Ouyang Xuan's waist, it is not right to say that it is a tiger, but the head shape is similar to that of a cat, but the body has no stripes, just the yellow of a water. The fur on his body is strong enough to withstand the bullets of an assault rifle, and the bullet can be clearly seen hitting the fur and then falling to the ground. As a last resort, Ouyang Xuan held the gun and shot the tiger in the eyes, but the tiger did not fall, but frantically pounced on Ouyang Xuan. Drawing the sword in his hand, at the moment when the tiger pounced, he raised his sword and stabbed the tiger's mouth, under the action of the hail energy on the sword, the sharp sword poured through the mouth, piercing through the back of the tiger's head, and the tiger's claws were only a few millimeters away from Ouyang Xuan's head. After dissection, blue stones were also found in the stomach, and the tiger skin was thicker than the elephant's fur, and there was a thick hard cuticle under the hair. After the analysis of the Duliba people, the material in the stomach is a fragment of the space-time wall, and there is a trace of the remnant of seven-dimensional space energy, which seems to be a mutant species that has lived for a long time. He took off the tiger's four fangs, made four pendants, and gave two of them to Li Mu and Peng Fei, one of them to Ouyang Hong, and one or two of the super gathering graupel energy bodies, leaving one for himself.

Suddenly, Ouyang Xuan had another idea, that is, the valley back then. Isn't there a secret there that you don't know? He took the Duliba people to the deep mountain valley that is now the holy land of the Nabarian tribe, and with the help of Hural, temporarily dismissed the tribesmen in the valley. After the exploration of the Duliba people, they found a graupel energy body that was almost exhausted three hundred meters from the source of the hot spring, and found a deep cave at the bottom of the cave that collapsed under the cliff on the north side, and at the end of the cave, in addition to some gold, they also found a circular sphere that did not belong to the earth. Ouyang Xuan gave it to the Duliba people without thinking about it, and when the elders and chief scholars who returned to the base saw this sphere, their eyes lit up. Agreed to Ouyang Xuan's request to build the Southern Great Wall and the Hetao Canal Network free of charge.

After experiencing two defeats, Liu Che once again fought hard. Appointed a new Great Sima General, continue to prepare for war, after two defeats, now the total number of young soldiers in the country is only one million, if it is experiencing failure, or the whole army is annihilated, the Han Court is really slaughtered. I had to recharge my energy and recuperate. Checkpoints were set up at the border to strictly prevent Han Chinese people who had fled to China. After taking office for a year, the new Great General Sima had to give up the idea of starting another war in the face of the situation that no one was available, and asked Liu Che to vigorously develop the population and introduce high-yield crops such as corn and potatoes from China. It was strongly opposed by the conservatives represented by Confucianism, and finally under the strong suppression of the great Sima general, hundreds of Confucian students were killed, and only then did they buy corn and potato seeds from Huaxia at a high price. Under the guidance of the peasants who had not participated in the northward migration of the original Huhou fiefdom, the cultivation of corn and potatoes began to be promoted throughout the country. In fact, every time something new in Chinese history was used during foreign invasions, such as the use of Hufu riding and archery, the application of tables and chairs, the cultivation of new crops, and the prosperity of commerce, all of which occurred during foreign invasions or social turmoil. In the Tang Dynasty, the scientific research achievements of more than two hundred years were almost zero, and the social commerce basically did not improve, but it was the period of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, which promoted the prosperity of commerce, the great progress of science and technology, and the widespread use of gunpowder. In the early Song Dynasty, social stability was stable, commerce only stagnated, and science and technology also stagnated, if there was any social progress in the early and late Northern Song Dynasty, except for the fact that there were almost zero items for pleasure. After the Jin and Yuan dynasties, the Ming Dynasty produced great changes in social science and technology and commerce. Current crops such as corn and potatoes are unlikely to be promoted if it were not for the social unrest in the late Ming Dynasty. During the Kangxi and Xianfeng periods, there were also zero changes in science and technology and society. This is inseparable from the conservative forces led by Confucianism. Because every change in society, every application of technology, threatens their social status (the reasons for which will be explained later in the book when it comes to the Tang Dynasty). This is the same reason that people who are strong in martial arts or good at cold weapons oppose hot weapons, and technological and social progress will free the poor from their control. For example, now that the Han people are growing corn, before they can think of effective countermeasures, the peasants have more grain in their hands and are in a strong position in society, so they will naturally not be controlled by the literati and Confucian scholars who do not distinguish between grains and grains. Both the Western Han Dynasty and the Eastern Han Dynasty were under the control of the scribe group, especially after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty implemented Confucianism and paid attention to social dignity and order, the status of Confucian literati who emphasized etiquette has been greatly improved.

The most glorious period of Chinese society in history, the period of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty and the period of Zhenguan of the Tang Dynasty were all based on Huang Lao, and the most cowardly and chaotic periods such as the Song, Ming and Qing dynasties were the era when Confucianism prevailed. Now, when the Han court is strongly promoted by powerful people, it will naturally be opposed by conservatives. Liu Che was depressed and unhappy in the deceitful government all day long, and in the end, he couldn't resist the pressure and demoted General Sima Da, who had just been in office for less than three years. A new round of combat readiness has also come to an end. The elderly Liu Che also lost his previous passion, and began to seek the method of immortality all day long, but in the end it was all over.

When I heard that Ouyang Xuan's face is still the same as when he was a child, and it has not changed at all, and when the soldiers were close to Chang'an a few years ago, Liu Che's mind was much more lively, and he sent him to Huaxia to find Ouyang Xuan, and to seek the way of immortality in the land of Yandi and several counties. Words, just r
