313 The Mighty Men of the Past (12th Update)
"Within the four seas, the land of the Great Han. East to the sea, west to the nations. Swallow Zhuyue in the south and chase the Xiongnu in the north. Wherever people go, they don't surrender. Hande Zhaozhao, Han Wei Lie. Where kindness goes, it reaches all beings. Brilliant Han style, eternal prosperity! β
A song that has not been heard for many years and is almost forgotten awakens everyone's dusty memories for a long time. Three hundred years ago, during the reign of the great Emperor Xiaowu of the Han Dynasty, the "four yi" of foreign affairs: Nanping Liangyue, the northern expedition to the Xiongnu, the management of the Western Regions, the passage of the southwest, and the establishment of an unprecedentedly vast territory, so there was "the whole world is not the king's land, and the coast of the land is not the king's minister", and there is "Wanchao comes to congratulate, and the heavenly kingdom is the kingdom".
At that time, Dahan also had another title - strong man. The sentence "Those who commit me as a strong man, although they are far away, will be punished" frightened Hu Yiman. It is precisely because of the backing of such a strong motherland behind them that the Han people at that time could straighten their waists wherever they went. When you go to other countries, you only need to report "Lao Tzu is a Han man", even if he is the poorest and lowliest person, the Fanbang government has to look at him differently.
Otherwise, what is about to usher in is the sword of the Han strong army.
At that time, the Han was so domineering, domineering that made foreigners tremble and make compatriots proud. So for the next thousand years, and for countless millennia, the people who lived on this land called themselves Han peopleβHan people. It hasn't changed.
But now, the Han Dynasty in the 2nd century has lost its former majesty, and even Cao Cao, who lived in Luoyang, does not remember when the last time the vassal kingdom entered the court to pay tribute, and the straight backbone of the Han people has also become more and more bent and bent in the seizure and looting of the Hu people year after year, and now it is a sloppy life.
Thinking of decades of humiliating history, Cao Cao's teeth itched with hatred, he hated the faint Second Emperor Huan Ling, and even more hated the Hu people who displaced hundreds of people.
Therefore, on the first day of his official career, he set Le Shi Yanran and Feng Wolf Juxu as his lifelong goals. Unswerving hope that one day, the Han Dynasty will recreate the glory of Emperor Wu's period in his hands.
It's just that...... Now, after seeing the huge map in front of him, he realized that his vision was so short-sighted. At the same time, he also sighed that Luan Yi's ambition was so big.
Xianbei, Xiongnu, Qiuzi, Dawan, Dayue, Guishan, and Anxi...... Da Qin is all encapsulated in his ambitions.
Can it be achieved? Cao Cao couldn't believe it, but he remembered that Luan Yi said, "Where there is a will, there is a way, and the one hundred and two Qin Passes belong to Chu after all." Hard-working people, the sky is not bearable, lying on the salary to taste the gall, three thousand Yuejia can swallow Wu. β
There are many things that I am not afraid to do, but I am afraid to think about them. If they think about it, they may be able to do it.
Speaking of this, Cao Cao subconsciously glanced at Luan Yi, Guo Jia, Mao Jue, Xi Zhicai, Xun Yu, Xun You, Cheng Yu...... "Those who save the world and the eight talents win the world" The phrase "Those who save the world win the world" has not been passed on for a year or two. At least for now, this statement is not unfounded.
Look at Luan Yi, isn't it because he borrowed the ability of the four talents of heaven, earth, man and ghost to pacify the Central Plains in this troubled era?
In addition, the talents of Xun Yu, Xun Yu, and Cheng Yu, Cao Cao couldn't be clearer. In the past few years, they have given advice to Cao Cao and made great contributions, which can be called the pride of the wise men of the world. The reason why everything has not gone well in recent years is that they have encountered too powerful opponents - the four heroes of heaven, earth, man and ghost. is the enemy of the four heroes with a clear division of labor, don't say it's them, it's the reincarnation of Sun Wu, and Guan Bao is afraid that he is not an opponent.
If Luan Yi, Guo Jia, Mao Jue, Xi Zhicai, Xun Yu, Xun You, and Cheng Yu join forces, and he Cao Mengde and other civil and military forces assist him, what kind of effect will be achieved and what kind of outcome will be obtained?
His heart involuntarily became hot, and the heat made him warm all over, followed by a dry mouth and a thirsty thirst. He swallowed violently, but still did not quench his thirst, so he took the wine glass from the table and drank it all.
Luan Yi understood a lot through Cao Cao's radiant eyes. He threw out the words of invitation at the right time, "Brother Meng De, Brother Wen Ruo...... Dare to ask the princes, are they willing to temporarily abandon their previous suspicions and work together to build this immortal cause for the sake of the prosperity of the Han Dynasty for ten thousand years, for the health of the Han people for generations, and of course for themselves to leave a heavy mark in the history books? β
Although Cao Cao had long expected that Luan Yi would mention this matter sooner or later, he couldn't help but be stunned when he really received Luan Yi's invitation. He was embarrassed: "This ......"
Xun Yu took the lead and answered for Cao, "This matter is very important, can we go back and discuss it." β
Luan Yi smiled, "Of course!" It's just ......", he raised his eyes and swept to Cao Cao and Xun Yu, and said: "The army is out on the march, and it needs to consume too much money and food. And I don't want to waste money and food in vain, so I hope that the brothers will not discuss for too long and make a decision as soon as possible. β
Cheng Yu was still intoxicated with the joy of his brother's reunion and his imagination of the future just now, but now that the atmosphere at the wine table suddenly changed, he suddenly realized that he had almost forgotten that he was no longer like Luan Yi said just now, he was himself, no longer played any role, and no longer shouldered any mission...... Friends are still those friends, but they have put on their official robes and pretended to be those in high positions. They are now quasi-rank prisoners under Luan Yi, and Luan Yi only needs to move his fingers, and the high walls of Dongping City will turn into dust under the indiscriminate bombardment of thunderbolts.
Xun Yu said: "I'll wait for the province." He looked at the sky, "Without further ado, I'll go back and discuss it later." β
"It's good! We will not send it far. Luan Yi shook the ground upright, and then turned to Xiahou Yuan and Cao Hong and said, "Let's go with Cao Gong too." β
"Just let us go?" Cao Hong was shocked.
Luan Yi said: "I'm sure you guys will come back." Of course, if you don't come back, I can get you back. Brother Meng De, do you think this is the reason? β
If Luan Yi's heartfelt remarks at the beginning of the banquet were a friendship, then now it is undoubtedly a naked threat.
He was waking up Cao Cao and them, and there were only two paths in front of them. Either raise your hands and surrender, or break the city and be captured, there is no other choice, what to do is to see what to do.
Seeing Cao Cao and the others riding away, Dian Wei asked sullenly, "Will they come back?" β
Luan Yi shook the folding fan and nodded, "Yes, definitely." They don't have a choice. β
Hercules was particularly interested in the large character "Han" marked on the map. He asked in a thick Kanto accent: "Master, do you really want to fight to Greece?" β
Luan Yi glanced at the serious Hercules, "What?" You don't want me to attack your country. β
"Quite the opposite." Hercules said, "Rather than let the Greek city-states be bullied by the greedy Romans. I wish the knights of the Holy Church would take over Greece. At least...... You can make good life for the children of the gods. β
Clearly, having lived in the diocese for so many years, Hercules saw the well-being of the Church for the people. And I began to hope that the people in my hometown could live the same life as the Han people in the diocese.
Hercules' heartfelt words made Luan Yi feel very pleased, "Don't worry! Give me twenty years, maybe thirty years, and I will fulfill my heart's ambition. I want churches to bloom all over Xiniuhe Prefecture (Luan Yi changed the names of Asia and Europe, changing the name of Asia to Dongsheng Shenzhou, while Europe is Xiniuhe Prefecture, and the bitter cold land north of the grassland is called Beiju Luzhou); I will plant the banner of the Holy Cross on Mount Olympus; Of course, I will also allow you to see the sunset over the Aegean Sea. β
"Really?" Hercules was thrilled at the thought of returning to his homeland. After a burst of excitement, he suddenly felt wrong, "Master, how do you know about Mount Olympus?" β
accidentally revealed knowledge that should not have been known, which made Luan Yi very embarrassed, "You mentioned it to me!" β
"Did I mention it?" Hercules, though large, was not a simple-minded man with well-developed limbs. He couldn't remember anything he had said about Olympus.
"Spoken, absolutely said. If you don't believe it, ask Big Brother. Luan Yi threw the question to Dian Wei again, and Dian Wei would always help him lie at this time.
"I've said it, I've heard it. Mount Olympus! There is also a temple on the hill. According to his understanding, if there are no special circumstances, there will be temples on any famous mountain in the Han Dynasty. If the famous mountains of Dahan are like this, then the mountains of other countries should also be like this.
But he didn't know that the custom of worshipping the mountains was only found in the Great Han Kingdom. The most obvious example is the five mountains that are the only ones on Mount Tai. Since the beginning of the Qin Dynasty, according to the system of ritual music, after ascending the throne, it is necessary to worship Mount Tai, its ceremony includes two parts of "seal" and "Zen", the so-called "seal", is to gather soil on the top of Mount Tai to build a round platform to sacrifice to the emperor, increase the height of Mount Tai to show merit to the sky; The so-called "Zen" is to accumulate soil on the small hill under Mount Tai to build a square altar to worship the god of the earth, and increase the thickness of the earth to repay the blessing and grace. This is what we call Feng Zen.
The royal family did so, and the people followed suit. So there was the Double Yang Festival, and there was such and such a mountain meeting.
Therefore, the mountain, for the Han people, is a symbol of auspiciousness and sacredness. Temples naturally love to be built on the mountain.
But Dian Wei didn't know that for those ethnic groups who were not influenced by the Duohan culture, mountains are mountains, highlands piled up with stones, and dirt slopes covered with flowers and plants. It has no symbolism associated with the sacred, nor does it have any religious value.
Therefore, their mountains are always bare, with no pavilions or temples.
However, what Dian Wei did not expect was that among the hundreds of mountains in the West, there was only one mountain that stood out from the rest, and that was Mount Olympus.
