Chapter 53 The First Kingdom of Hu in the West
Wukong drove cattle, drove, walked out of Zhongnan Mountain for a few days, and gradually had gone out of the border of Qin, Guanzhong Resort, the lush forest plain slowly had mountain undulations, Hu Feng grew, and a large area of farmland became a grassland, but although there are a large number of Xirong remains, it is still Qindi, but it is a hundred years ago, the work of the five sheepskin doctors Baili Xi.
Baili Xi Zuomu Gong, destroying the twelve kingdoms of Xirong, expanding the land for thousands of miles, is here.
I think that the ancestor of the Qin State is a descendant of merchants, a descendant of Xuanniao blood, and the same clan as Zhao Qing of the Jin State. A hundred years later, during the Warring States Period, the three families were divided, and Zhao Qing established himself as the Zhao State. Qin and Zhao are both after the flying sickle, after the Ying family is the eldest son of Fei Lian, and after the Zhao family is the second son Ji Sheng, because the ancestors of the Zhao family have made their fathers, they are sealed in the Zhao land, and the Ying family is dependent on the surname Zhao, so the surname Zhao is lost.
Qin Shi Huang won the name of Zhao Zheng, so the real name of Zhao Zheng was Zhao Zheng.
Now the two families still have some affection, and when it came to the Warring States Period, the two countries with the surname Zhao, Qin and Zhao were already mortal enemies.
The first monarch of the Qin State, Qin Feizi, also known as Zhao Feizi, was the king of Zhou Xiao herding horses in the dog hill, Yi Qindi, after five generations, cutting the dog Rong, expanding the barbarians, cutting thorns has expanded the size of the land, and finally Xianggong and the princes, Mu Gong and the west expansion of thousands of miles, for the Chinese Xiping, Guanzhong big country.
The ox cart was walking on the Qin Road, and suddenly a merchant who was herding cattle saw the bronze carriage frame and came up to say to him: "Master on the cart, don't go any further!" Further on, there is the Nayiqu tribe. They are canine and savage, bloody and arrogant, and they are most vigilant against the arrival of our Chinese state. Except for the merchants with whom their tribes are well traded, all those who go to their borders will be killed by them! ”
Wukong saw that the person who came up to advise was a slightly childish young man, so he replied: "This little brother, we didn't even bring an inch of armor, and there were only two masters of our family in the car, taking us on a tour to study in various countries. When the Yiqu people saw that we were empty-handed, they would never treat us as villains! Do harm at every turn! ”
When the young man saw Wukong's true face, he was startled, and pointed at Wukong and said, "Why do you have hair on your face?" Like a monkey? ”
Wukong laughed and said: "I am a native of the southern Mao, and I admire the culture of the Central Plains, so I worship under the teacher!" ”
"I see!" The young man said embarrassedly: "I have never been out of the Qin Kingdom, and the farthest I am going to Guanzhong with my family to sell cattle." It's rare and weird! I heard that the people of Chu in the south have feathers on their bodies, and they are like ghosts and gods, and they think that the southerners are weird, and they are not as pure as our northerners. But you don't even have armor, I'm afraid you'll be killed by Na Rongdi! ”
"Rong Di is afraid of power but not virtue, you bring your armor, their small tribe sees that you have some resistance power, and they are afraid that the young and strong people in the clan will lose too much, but they will not do it, only those large tribes of thousands of people will do harm, and you go west with your bare hands, I am afraid that you will be killed by those dog Rong people in less than two days!"
The young man swore and said: "When we go to Xirong to sell horses, we sell them salt and silk, and sell their cattle and horses, and exchange what they have, which is the most needed character of the Inurong people. Everyone in our caravan has soldiers and armor, and there are strong bows and crossbows, and the caravan is full of strong men, skilled in martial arts, only in this way can you not be harmed by them, if you really want to go to Xijon to verify your knowledge, it is best to find a caravan to borrow. ”
Wukong saw him riding a horse and bowing, with some skills, his eyes rolled, and he suddenly smiled: "Such an armed caravan, if it meets a smaller Rong tribe, I'm afraid it will have to change and start a business?" ”
The young man smiled shyly, a little embarrassed, but without a hint of shame and smiled: "If you meet a small tribe with abundant cattle and horses, then of course you have to rob him, those barbarians Rong Di, just like the animals that our Qin people raise in the wild, the animals are not good, and they are fat, so they will naturally be slaughtered, and when we Qin men grow up again, we will kill and expel them and expand our land." ”
The young man looked up at Chen Ang and Lao Tzu, who were indifferently in the car, and asked, "The two masters seem to be people with university questions, but do they look down on us like this?" ”
Chen Ang smiled and said: "Respect the king, the righteousness of China, how can there be a gift to look down on?" Moreover, the way of man is also self-improvement, and the way of heaven is also the survival of the fittest. Isn't it in line with the will of heaven to expand the land and kill people? ”
Lao Tzu said: "Taishang, I don't know what there is; secondly, it is praised by relatives; secondly, to be afraid; Secondly, insult it. Faith is not enough, there is unbelief. Leisurely, its noble words. When the success is done, the people say: I am natural. ”
The young man's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "The two doctors are really learned masters, unlike some faint people who muttered some treacherous and vicious pedantic words. I came to a Qi person the year before last, and my brain was so unclear! ”
This is a bit unusual, this pre-Qin scholar style is not the sour and rotten Confucianism of later generations, muttering about benevolence, righteousness and charity, and treating barbarians with leniency.
The time of the pre-Qin period was the expansion of the territory of China, and the time when the martial arts were at its peak, it was Kong Qiu here, and when he saw the Qin people, he might have to praise it: "Wei Baili Xi, I was sent to the left!" Therefore, the Qin and Han dynasties inherited the style of the previous Qin princes, and their martial arts were promising, chasing after the Di and conquering the barbarians, and they had never praised the martial arts of conquering the barbarians, and there was no persuasion of hypocrisy and morality.
Under such a respectful morality, the Qi people are a wonderful flower.
The young man was so fond of life that he couldn't bear to see them go to death, and proposed: "Those dog Rong people are murderous and extremely fierce, you still don't go west for the time being, now it's almost winter, you go west to the dog Rong, or it won't be long before you count nine cold winters, and then there will be no firewood on the prairie, and there will be white disasters and snowstorms, and the danger of losing the road is really nine deaths." ”
"It's a blessing from heaven to meet the winter camp of the Yiqu dog Rong people, those dog Rong people lack food and clothing in winter, they will definitely not let you go, maybe, all the skin and flesh will be cheaper for those Rong Di."
"It's better to wait until the beginning of spring next year, when the Inurong people are in urgent need of salt and copper, let's travel with those big caravans!"
Although this young man is also kind-hearted, there is some truth in what he said, but Chen Ang, Wukong and others are not ordinary people, and they are going to turn into Hu, to go to the West Heaven body poison, so stop for half a year today, and take two months off tomorrow, it will take a few years to complete, and now this westward road is different from a thousand years later, when the Tang Dynasty was prosperous, when the countries of the Western Regions had already had contacts with the Tang Dynasty, there were many business trips, and a Silk Road, but it was not difficult to go to Tianzhu.
But now the martial arts of Huaxia have not faded, and the Western Regions are even more wild, the Huns, the dog Rong, the Turks, the Yueshi and other well-known, nameless nomadic tribes walk on the way, a little later, maybe you can meet the Greek Macedonians who are crusading eastward, they are all barbarians, Ru Mao drinks blood, kills each other, Chen Ang and his party go so west, they have to kill a bloody road.
Wukong couldn't think about it, so he had to come back and ask Chen Angdao: "Master, all the way to the west, they are all barbarians and savages, maybe they don't even know how to speak, I have seen these people when I crossed to the east in the past, and on the deserted island in the East China Sea, the savage tribe has no way to reason at all, just like beasts, it is not human." This kid is right, it's really difficult to go west, I have to kill hundreds of people with my grandson's stick, I can't bear to kill those wild people, Master, you refuse to show your magical powers, how should this be good? ”
Chen Ang said with a smile: "It is the savage people who need to educate the teacher and Lao Tzu, and we go all the way, not only to go to the poisonous and Rulai Dao, but also to sow the seeds of civilization along the way and educate the Futu." Therefore, the journey to the west was not to visit, to teach, to teach the chieftain, but to war, to conquer, to kill, and to preach. ”
"Where there are demons, there will be you, the Emperor of the Demon Emperor of Qitian, the Demon Ping Demon, I know that all the way to the west, the demons are mixed, these barbarians and demons live together, so you will kill all the way. This is to go to the western heavens, so that the tribes that believe in our great religion may prosper, and to conquer those who are more barbaric, but to make them raise swords and soldiers, and kill each other, and they will be bloodied. ”
Chen Ang said, pondered for a moment and said: "But the Yiqu tribe is a little different, it has been close to China for a long time, Mu Tianzi was a subject country, and later rebelled, but he also learned some truth from China, with the law, not the completely barbaric tribe, germinated the seeds of civilization, although there is also the barbarian custom of the sorcerer shaman blood sacrifice to demons, but it is different from those demons who live together, and even half demon and half human Rong Di, Wukong, you are not good at making a move." ”
"A hundred years later, this place should belong to the Qin State. Can't be confused with Yourong! ”
The young man riding outside the car saw Wukong go to ask the two "scholars" in the car, so he was a little curious, stretched his neck to look there, Chen Ang saw the young man, and suddenly had an idea, and said: "You go and ask the young man, this winter, is there a caravan to Yiqu?" ”
