In the Western Han Dynasty, the dominant attitude towards the Xiongnu had always been defensive, hostile, and hateful.

The formation of such a mainstream attitude is a great contribution to Confucianism.

What kind of thing Confucianism was later, let's not mention it for the time being.

The revenge of the ninth Xianggong of the former Qi Dynasty, "Spring and Autumn" is great.

Today's Confucianism is shouting, 'The hatred of the tenth generation can be restored, and the ninth generation is called?' "The war fanatics.

This is also the key reason why Liu Xie strictly guarded the big landlords and big bourgeoisie represented by Confucianism, and knew the ugly face of corruption and degeneration after Confucianism completely took power, but he was also unwilling to take action to exterminate Confucianism.

Liu Che needs this kind of argument.

Two equally huge state entities, if far apart. For example, the Han Dynasty and Rome were separated by an entire Western Regions, and they couldn't reach each other. Two huge state entities like the Xiongnu and the Han Dynasty will never stop without fighting a male and female.

In later generations, Huaxia and Mao Xiong still looked at each other unpleasantly across a Mongolia, if it weren't for the fact that both of them had an Uncle Sam on top of their heads to attract hatred, so that the two had the necessity and premise to work together, and they would be sure to make people's heads into dogs' heads.

Even in this case, the repertoire of the international community between Mao Xiong and Huaxia is constantly staged again and again. This is still under the premise that a series of historical reasons made the honeymoon period between the later generations of Chinese and Russian woolly bears, and the relationship was good.

As between the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu, there is absolutely no possibility of peaceful coexistence if one side does not fight until one side surrenders on its knees, or both sides have no strength to fight any longer.

Even now, the direction of the Xiongnu's strategy is gradually moving westward, giving up the Han Dynasty, a hard bone that may break its front teeth if it can't be gnawed, and marching towards the delicate and soft Western Regions to loot the background, the friction between the Western Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu is also endless. Today you come in and burn my village, tomorrow I will kill in, loot and slaughter your herdsmen, it is a repertoire often staged at the junction of the Xiongnu and the Western Han Dynasty in the Yanmen Pass generation.

The Western Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu did not fight thoroughly, and fought to the death.

The fundamental reason is that neither side is sure of victory, and at the same time, within both sides, there is one or even several forces that are frantically pulling back. On the side of the Western Han were those ambitious princes and kings, while on the side of the Xiongnu were the remnants of the previous Youxian king. Neither side wants to be stabbed in the back by the opposition when they are fighting desperately on the front line before they can produce results. In other words, neither ruling group wants to face a situation in which they have to leave their fate to someone else.

As you can imagine, there is absolutely no meaning that can lead to good results.

In other words, once both parties have dealt with their own internal intricacies. And after accumulating the strength that he thought he was at least quite sure of victory, this battle was inevitable.

The Xiongnu may not have been, because since then and for quite some time after that, the strategic focus of the Xiongnu has been tilted towards the Western Regions.

Don't forget that the composition of the Xiongnu's political system is more like a combination of robbers.

Compared with the Han people who have hard bones and can break their teeth, the bones of people in small countries in the Western Regions are undoubtedly much softer. The situation of small states in the Western Regions also doomed that it was unlikely that the region would be able to unite a force that could fight against the Xiongnu. What's more, because of the developed commercial trade, the cities in the Western Regions are generally very wealthy.

Since he is a robber, where is the reason to give up the weak and rich fat sheep and have to gnaw hard bones?

And the Han family has to fight this battle.

The west of Yanmen Pass and even the Hetao area are like the throat of the Central Plains Dynasty.

Even in small countries, no ruler will put his own country at the throat of a hostile country under the occupation of a hostile country unless he is forced to do so.

The difference is only how far this battle will go?

Is it just to take back the land of the Loop?

Or do you want to kill into the grassland, avenge the revenge of the city, and regain the humiliation of the queen?

Or go further, completely swallow up the Xiongnu and incorporate the vast grasslands and even the Western Regions into the territory of the Han Dynasty?

In the Western Han Dynasty, the vast majority of people's ideas were the second type.

A group of generals led by Prime Minister Zhou Yafu felt that the first result was not unacceptable. Rather than revenge, the generals valued practical gain.

And once the Hetao area is recaptured, the revenge of Pingcheng and the humiliation of Empress Lu can be regarded as revenge.

As for the third party, the craziest warmongers in the Western Han Dynasty did not dare to think of such a thing.

That's the Huns!

There are only two people who can think like this, one is Liu Che and the other is Liu Jian.

In fact, many discussions between Liu Che and Liu Jian about the Xiongnu were aimed at completely engulfing the Xiongnu and completely and permanently occupying the vast grasslands of the Xiongnu as much as possible.

Liu Xie can only talk about this when he is with Liu Jian, if he talks to others about completely devouring the Xiongnu at this time, I am afraid that the vast majority of people will think that their monarch may have gone crazy.

In the near future, there will be a war between the Western Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu after they are ready, and Liu Jian and Liu Che are well aware of the importance of completely engulfing the Xiongnu for the Central Plains Dynasty.

However, at this time, there was also an active force of pacifists in the political arena of the Western Han Dynasty, and they played a good role in pouring cold water on the voice of the government and the opposition after each Xiongnu provocation.

There are basically two kinds of characters who pour cold water, the first is led by the imperial historian Chao Cuo, who is worried that he can't beat it.

The shame of Pingcheng and the humiliation of Empress Lu are not far away, and the strength of the Xiongnu is still very strong, not to mention that there are still a lot of ambitious princes and kings on the side of the Han Dynasty. Once the war against the Xiongnu is won, it is good to win, if it is defeated, or even just a protracted war, it may be a situation where the world is overturned in the blink of an eye.

When Liu Che's father summoned the generals with a sword in armor and a sword late at night, it was because of Chao Mistake's resistance that he did not set off a protracted war with corpses all over the field and low odds of victory.

The second group of people believed that it was not beneficial to fight the Xiongnu, and this faction was basically based on some of the Huang Lao faction in the Han political arena as the main force.

"The land of the Xiongnu saline-alkali water and grass, my Han family is useless, and it is in vain." It's the arguments that these people often proclaim.

Basically, it is equivalent to the later Ta Qing saying 'I am rich in heaven and earth, and I lack nothing', which belongs to the conservative among the conservatives in the political force, but the power of this conservative is relatively strong.

The solution to the first argument is very simple, as long as the princes and kings of the Han family are subdued. At this point, Liu Che's cheap dad has done a good job in history. Before the little pig ascended the throne, the ambitious and capable princes surnamed Liu were ploughed over and over again, otherwise it is a question whether the little pig's tui en order can be carried out.

Now Liu Che's cheap dad died many years earlier than in history, and this stall is much worse than the one left to the pig in history.

But after all, Liu Bi, who is the most prestigious, the most capable, and the richest, has already hung up, and it is not too difficult for the rest of the people to clean up.

The key weapon against the second argument is the wool loom.

Once the wool loom appeared, an unprecedented new industry appeared in the Western Han society. Not to mention how huge profits this emerging industry can bring, the more important thing is that once this emerging industry appears, then the vast grasslands and pastures belonging to the Xiongnu will no longer be 'useless' chicken ribs, but treasures of real money everywhere.

Woolen sweaters, wool carpets, these warm and luxurious new products can bring huge profits at the same time, will make many people who have never paid attention to the grassland nail their eyes to the green ocean.

At that time, the people who benefited from the emerging industry would go crazy to promote the war, and there would never be a situation where the piggy dynasty won the battle and returned it.

The wool merchants of the Han dynasty, as well as those with vested interests who benefited from the wool trade, would do everything possible to occupy the grasslands completely and permanently, and would never return them.

Of course, the premise of all this is that these people must see and realize that the Han Dynasty has the ability to defeat and annex the Xiongnu.

It is impossible for Liu Che to be dizzy enough to start a war against the Xiongnu without the certainty of victory.

At the same time, the conquest of the Xiongnu had greater benefits for Liu Che.

That is the Silk Road.

The Silk Road will be completely opened, and the rich and oily trade routes connecting the Han Dynasty, the steppes, Central Asia, West Asia, and even Europe will fall into Liu Che's grasp.

Through this Silk Road, the economic plundering of the Western world was carried out, and while providing the necessary resources and funds for economic transformation, it could also be used to benefit the general public of the Han dynasty. With mastery of the Silk Road, Liu Che is fully sure that he can set off the industrial revolution without worrying about being lifted off the imperial chair, and even if he operates it properly, his position will be more and more stable because of the industrial revolution.

Just not now.

The two of them talked from day to night in the Zhifang Palace, Liu Che picked up the Nine Yin True Scripture that had been put aside from the beginning of the conversation, and asked Liu Jian seriously: "Oh yes, ask again, is this thing real?" ”

"You can try it out on your own." Liu Jian smiled: "I can practice anyway, you ...... I don't know, but if you're interested, give it a try. ”

Of course, the Nine Yin True Scripture is genuine, and Liu Jian grinded it from Zhou Botong. Although Liu Jian himself has not practiced, there is indeed no problem with this martial arts cheatbook. On the one hand, it is because Zhou Botong's character is really good, and this Nine Yin True Scripture is for Poison Island Son, and Poison Island Son, who has practiced innate skills, is Wang Chongyang's natural heir in Zhou Botong's opinion, and he is unlikely to do anything in this matter.

On the other hand, Liu Jian also read this Nine Yin True Scripture more than a dozen times from beginning to end, and he really didn't see any problems, and the system also gave hints that he could cultivate when he held it.

But Liu Jian still has doubts.

He wanted to see if people from other worlds could practice martial arts besides people like himself who had an upgrade system.

The people of the Western Han world are basically similar to the people of his world, and there is nothing here that is beyond scientific common sense.

Except for a traverser protagonist.

As for so many martial arts, why do you choose the Nine Yin True Scripture.

It's just because the Nine Yin True Scripture is famous.

If Liu Jian gave Liu Che a Five Tiger Broken Door Knife...... Although the Five Tigers Broken Door Knife is a very powerful stunt in the rivers and lakes, this kind of martial arts trick has no way to arouse Liu Che's curiosity.

The greatest possible ...... Take a look at it and set it aside.

If Liu Che can't practice the Nine Yin True Scripture, Liu Jian also intimately prepared for him the Dragon Elephant Prajna Gong that even foolish people can practice.

If the experiment is successful, he is also ready to popularize the dragon elephant Prajna Gong in the army.

It will definitely make the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the Han Dynasty go to a higher level.

One Han as a five-hu?

When the time comes, one Han will be ten Hu, but I am afraid that there will be more than that.
