Chapter 1440 Dragon City Assembly (2)

On the way, Sima Qian and his party encountered the patrol cavalry of the Han army and some Hu tribe cavalry who returned to the Han dynasty patrolling from time to time. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Of course, from time to time, you will encounter some tribes grazing around the Great Wall.

These tribes basically have a black dragon banner of the Han family.

Of course, there are some that don't.

The peculiar thing is that the tribes with the Black Dragon Banner, even if there are only a few dozen or more than a hundred people, dare to drive away and scold those tribes that have hundreds or thousands of people, but do not have the Black Dragon Banner.

Even, these guys are very proud.

Once, Sima Qian even saw with his own eyes that there were about a dozen Hu people, riding horses and driving hundreds of Hu people to the north.

The expelled tribes did not dare to resist at all, so they could only obediently give up a large area of fertile pastures, and the tribesmen migrated to the north with tears in their eyes.

It's weird.

As far as Sima Qian knows, for countless years, the Yidihu people have been respected by the strong.

The weak deserve to die!

But now, the tide has turned.

A small tribe with only a few dozen or hundreds of people dares to ride on the head of a large tribe of more than 1,000 or even two or three thousand people.

This made Sima Qian and the others curious.

It's a pity that none of them can speak the Huns.

The Han soldiers who escorted them didn't seem to be very willing to answer their questions, but just shirked and said, "This is Wang Huaye!" ”

Ask anything else, and no one will want to answer.

Even, Sima Qian sometimes suspects that it is not their line of work that is at fault, they are holding authentic official documents, and they have the approval of the Shaofu and the Prime Minister's Mansion.

In this way, with doubts and puzzles, after three days of trekking on this vast grassland, Sima Qian saw a huge lake appear on the horizon.

The lake is rippling, the aquatic plants are rippling, there are birds flying, there are geese coming and going, and there are countless figures.

Sima Xian, the cavalry of the Han army who led the escort of them, looked at the place from afar and said with a smile: "Gentlemen, Nanchi has arrived!" ”

When Sima Qian heard this, he was shocked: "But General Wei is running thousands of miles to attack Nanchi?" ”

In the battle of Mayi, Wei Chi, the commander of the Xiliu Battalion, was ordered to lead the whole army of the Xiliu Battalion with 12,000 light horsemen out of the wolf storm, went around the buttocks of the main force of the Xiongnu invasion, and wiped out the Huns' grain and grass - Nanchi.

As a result, a solid foundation was laid for the victory of the campaign.

The Xiongnu Yin Zhixian Division, which lost foreign aid and cut off communication with Shan Yuting, was finally wiped out in Wuzhousai.

In that battle, Wei Chi captured millions of Hun livestock.

This result still benefits the people of Guanzhong immensely.

In the annual fake animal policy of the Shaofu and the Inner History Yamen, the cattle and horses of the fake people are basically the spoils of the war and the livestock.

Therefore, the battle of Nanchi made the people of Guanzhong sing praise.

The Chiyou drama about the Battle of Nanchi is even double the Battle of Mayi!

Sima Qian was even more emotional, ten years ago, Nanchi was still the core of the Xiongnu Munan region, and it was the place where the right Xian King was stationed, and I don't know how many times the decision of the Hun cavalry to invade the south was made here.

Today, this place is still the same, but the trace of the Hun cavalry has long disappeared cleanly.

Na Sima was also proud, and said: "It is the Nanchi that General Wei attacked back then!" Back then, I was a guide and went to battle with the general! ”

"After last year, the Xiongnu royal court fled to the north, and this Nanchi became the territory of my Han family, and the Anbei Protectorate has decided to build a city here......"

Sima Qian and the others looked at the geography near Nanchi, and they all nodded and praised: "Indeed, this place is backed by the lake, and there is irrigation from the lake, so you can cultivate and build a city!" It's just that there is no danger to defend, which is a pity......"

When Sima heard this, he just smiled, and didn't answer their words, probably because he felt that this group of noble sons from Chang'an had a problem with their brains, so he didn't bother to say more to them, but just introduced: "Gentlemen, now this place is the living place of the Donghu Department, and I can rest in this department tonight......

When Sima Qian heard this, he asked, "But the Donghu tribe after Lu Xuan, the king of Yan?" ”

Na Sima smiled and nodded.

Sima Qian and the others were shocked when they heard this, and they had a strange feeling of witnessing history.

At the beginning, Lu Xuan, the king of Yan, betrayed Emperor Gao, escaped from the fortress, and was named the king of Donghu for the Xiongnu.

In the decades that followed, the Donghu family lived on the steppe and served as courtiers to the Huns.

Although now, there are rumors in the market that the people are in the Han and have done a lot of things for the Han family, and even released many Han people who were detained and taken away by the Huns.

Therefore, at the beginning, the Donghu tribe was broken by the Xiongnu, and Wei Shang, the county guard of Yunzhong County, was ordered to negotiate with the Xiongnu, and took silk, iron tools and iron pots in exchange for the surviving members of the Donghu tribe.

But since then, the whereabouts of Lu and Donghu have remained a mystery.

Some people, the descendants of the Lu family, were placed in Andong by the Son of Heaven, and some people say that the entire Lu clan died under the Xiongnu butcher's knife, and there were only a few hundred remnants, which were saved by Wei Shang.

But I don't want to, now I can see this tribe in Nanchi that has long been said to have 'disappeared'.

Sima Qian was even more excited.

Lu Xuan, the king of Yan, and his generals rebelled against the Han and died to the Huns, and there are multiple versions.

And these people have lived in the Xiongnu for decades, and no one has ever known, how did they spend their time on the steppe? No one knows what happened to them. What kind of unknown mental journey does you have?

And that's exactly what he wanted to explore.

So, under the leadership of Han Qi, the group headed towards Nanchi.

When they arrived at Nanchi, they saw that on the side of the lake, there was a gate with a black dragon flag flying high on the gate, and there were walls surrounded by wattles on both sides of the gate.

There are patrolling soldiers on the walls.

At the four corners of the wall, there are beacon towers, which can be lit at any time.

It can be seen that the Han army really intends to establish a city here as a base for the Han army to go out of the south of the border.

Walking in from Yuanmen, after some inspection, Sima Qian and his party entered this small town on the plug.

It's said to be a small town, but it's actually like a simple market in the countryside.

The whole place is not large, about four or five hundred steps long, and there are domes and simple wooden buildings in the Chinese style.

There are many caravans, all resting here.

On one side of the lake, there is even a dense crowd, hundreds of heavy-duty wagons are parked in the corrals, and from time to time there are Hu people, carrying wooden barrels and forage, feeding these livestock.

In the bazaar, it was even more lively, which opened the eyes of Sima Qian and others.

Many, many people of different colors, different costumes, and even different languages roam around the bazaar and beyond.

When they met a living person, they posted it and sold it in half-baked Chinese.

Sima Qian and the others were naturally no exception, as soon as they came in, someone immediately pestered them.

"Chinese nobleman, Chinese nobleman, do you want to slap him?" A stubby Yidi man said in a loud voice: "My man is tall and strong, stronger than the luck of horses and oxen, and he walks a hundred miles a day without panting!" He sells a horse for 10,000 dollars! ”

him?

Sima Qian has seen that it is a kind of livestock unique to Saiwai, which is large and powerful, and is a good hand in both transportation and ploughing.

Shaofu once used to plough the land, and the effect was very good.

His strength is greater than that of an ox, and he is more docile than a horse.

The only problem is that China does not produce this kind of beast.

The Han family captured about tens of thousands of horses in the war, and after these horses entered the Great Wall, they died of illness due to problems such as management and breeding.

So there is not much stock and few people know about it.

10,000 dollars a horse for him? Sima Qian didn't know if it was expensive or cheap.

But he knew that since the man was looking for them to sell, there must be a problem.

Therefore, they ignored him, and at this time, the Han soldiers who were responsible for protecting Sima Qian and others also lined up and walked into this bazaar in unison.

Their arrival also made the man have to stop pestering and run to a corner, seemingly quite afraid of the Han army.

This made Sima Qian and others amazed, and they talked about it one after another.

However, the soldiers of the Han army, as soon as they entered this bazaar, they all held their heads high and their nostrils turned to the sky.

Yidi and Hu people on both sides looked envious, jealous and hateful, looking at them with blank eyes, and their eyes were full of yearning.

Sima Qian looked at it and thought in his heart: "At the beginning, Qin Shi Huang toured the east, and Emperor Gao saw the first emperor's car driving, and sighed: The big husband should be like this, I'm afraid it will be the same!" ”

In my heart, I became even more curious about the current pattern of Saiwai and Zhuhu's views on the Han family.

At this time, a man dressed as a scribe came to Sima Qian and his party, and bowed to him: "Princess...... My lord, the Marquis of Chang'an, please ......"

"Chang'an Hou?" Everyone was confused and didn't know why.

Or Sima Qian reacted and asked, "But Queen Yan?" ”

At the beginning, before Lu Juan was crowned king, he was named the Marquis of Chang'an.

But the question is, where does the Lu family still have the face and qualifications to call themselves the Marquis of Chang'an?

You know, that's the top prince of 10,000 households!

Up and down the Han family, there are now only a handful of 10,000 families of liehous!

Even if he has made repeated military exploits, Wei Chi, the general of the fine willow battalion of the princess of Emperor Shangxian Linyi, is only more than 5,000 households.

How can this Lu clan continue to call himself the Marquis of Chang'an?

I'm afraid that if I get a feudal position, there will be problems!

When the scribe saw this, he just smiled and made a gesture of please.

Sima Qian and the others looked at each other, then followed in the footsteps of this person, walked through the noisy bazaar, and entered a mansion.

This mansion is quite peculiar, with both the style of the dome of the Hu people outside the Saiwai and the solemnity of the house of the Chinese scholars.

Inside and outside the house, there are dense samurai with swords and swords, and they are very heavily guarded.

The scribe took Sima Qian and his party to a courtyard, and said, "Princes, please come in, my lord has prepared turbid wine and waited......

Sima Qian and the others took their heads, and then walked in together.

As soon as he entered, the first thing Sima Qian saw was a young man about his age, sitting upright and looking at them curiously.

Reminded by a man who seemed to be a retainer, the young man stood up and said, "Your Excellency has worked hard from afar, please take a seat......"

Sima Qian and the others hurriedly replied: "Don't dare!" ”

Immediately, there was a maid who brought Sima Qian and others into the seat.

"Are all the distinguished guests from Chang'an?" The boy asked curiously.

Sima Qian replied: "Exactly! ”

"Chang'an, ah......" The young man's eyes showed a look of fascination, and he sighed: "I have long wanted to go to Chang'an, but Your Majesty does not allow it, I can't see the scenery of Shenjing, I really regret it!" ”

"The foot is after the Yan King Lu Juan?" Someone asked curiously.

"After the guilty, I am ashamed......" replied the young man, "but the princes, who have come thousands of miles from Chang'an, have come to this barbarian land outside the Saiwai, where do you want to go?" ”

"We want to go to Shunde and watch the meeting of the Dragon City, so as to know the situation outside the Saiwai......" Sima Qian said quietly.

"So ......" The young man's face turned happy when he heard this, and he said, "If the prince doesn't dislike a guilty body, would you like to walk with me?" ”

"Do you want to go to Shunde now?" Sima Qian asked curiously.

"Hmm!" The young man nodded and said, "I am the Marquis of Chang'an sealed by the Son of Heaven, and this meeting of the Dragon City will naturally go to ......."

This is the second time Sima Qian has heard of the title of Marquis of Chang'an.

As a historian, he was very curious, especially for this secret matter, and wanted to explore a thing or two, so he asked: "As far as I know, the first step is to follow the Huns from Emperor Gao...... Why can he still be the Marquis of Chang'an today? ”

When the young man heard this, he was not angry, but replied with a smile: "Some things are not as ...... as the princes know."

He said with pride on his face: "At the beginning, I betrayed the Han first, but I had to do it as a last resort, and I was harmed by traitors......

"Moreover, in the past few decades, my family has been in the center of the Han family, delivering news, and warning the Great Wall, which has a lot of merit, so the Son of Heaven thinks that my family has a meritorious society, and it is the lord of the Marquis of Chang'an, who is the heir of the Emperor......"

Sima Qian had heard of these things, but he knew that this was probably not the case.

Otherwise, back then, the Son of Heaven would not have sat back and watched the Donghu tribe be slaughtered by the Xiongnu.

But this kind of thing is not easy to explore now, and since the Son of Heaven has recognized the identity of the other party, it is not his turn to be crooked.

So, Sima Qian and the others got up and bowed: "It turned out to be the king's face!" ”

Of course, this so-called gentleman's quality is actually very low.

The reason is very simple, the so-called Marquis of Chang'an was not reported to Taimiao and Gaomiao, nor was it made public to the world, in other words, this is actually likely to be the acquiescence of the Son of Heaven, but there is no posthumous title.

When the young man heard this, he also smiled bitterly and said, "Don't dare to be called a king...... I'm still a guilty ......."

"The Son of Heaven once edicted me to say: The day you have to build a new Chang'an is the time to restore your home......"

When everyone heard this, they understood that it was the Son of Heaven who painted cakes again.

Sima Qian also had to sigh that today's son was the most proficient at painting cakes among the emperors of the Han family.

Almost no one can match the technique of pie painting.

What's more important is that up to now, the pie of his painting has finally been fulfilled.

If it is said that Garn will seal the country, then Garn will seal the country.

When it comes to developing Anton's resources, we will open up Anton's resources.

Therefore, the people of the world are eager for the cakes he painted.

Let's take Sima Qian's friends who traveled outside the Saiwai as an example, Sima Qian knew that at least half of them were exploring the way for his family and the people behind them.

Whether this grassland outside the Seychelles can be used as a feudal country, and whether there are any interests, basically, their reference opinions are also more important.
