Chapter 451 Things are a big game of chess

Zhang Xiu found out from the family members in Dong Zhuo's mansion that the fourth prince Liu Qian might be hiding on Baishi Mountain outside Di Dao City, and did not immediately bring people to rescue him, but quickly conveyed the matter to the Shadow Xiliang Operation Special Service Team.

Although Zhang Xiu himself is strong in martial arts, it is only suitable for fighting people on the battlefield, and in small areas of combat in mountains and jungles, it is still the shadow team members who are more reliable. After all, the gap between a living Liu Qian and a dead prince is too huge. If Liu Qian can't be rescued smoothly, Zhao Xing's layout in the entire Xiliang will have to be reset, which will be a very troublesome thing.

Hua Weiguo, who succeeded Hou Cheng as the head of the Northwest Region of Shadows, was lurking in the area of Longxi, and after learning of this, he immediately gathered all the personnel in the entire Liangzhou region except for Wuwei County, totaling more than 300 capable team members. He personally led the team, and after repeated secret investigations, he waited for a group of martial arts warriors who arrived from Crouching Tiger City as reinforcements, and then launched a surprise attack on the secret stronghold of Dong Zhuo's forces in Baishi Mountain.

Due to the swiftness and suddenness of this action, coupled with the perfection of various response plans, three hundred members of the Shadow Team plus dozens of warriors with high martial arts skills successively killed hundreds of dead soldiers raised by Dong Zhuo on Baishi Mountain, and finally arrived at the deepest part of the secret stronghold, and found the six-year-old Fourth Prince Liu Qian in a hidden stone room in the mountain.

After successfully rescuing Liu Qian, Tai Shici immediately dispatched two thousand elite cavalry to escort Hua Weiguo and the four princes to quickly move east to Crouching Tiger City. Time is only the past year, and the four princes, who were originally innocent and lively, have been locked up a little stupid. This poor child urgently needs to see his relatives and playmates and carry out some psychological counseling, otherwise he is likely to suffer from childhood autism.

Of course, Hua Weiguo doesn't understand the terms "psychological counseling" and "autism". At present, in the entire Han Dynasty, apart from Zhao Xing, there may only be Hua Tuo and several of his closed disciples who can understand and understand these two words. After all, psychology is still an academic wasteland in this time and space.

If it weren't for Zhao Xing's occasional communication with Hua Tuo when he talked about the topic of "heart disease still needs heart medicine", he put forward the physical health indicators of the people, which should include the content of mental health, but the divine doctor chased Zhao Xing's fart/stock and asked what "mental health" was for several days, and Zhao Xing thought of introducing the concept and category of psychology into the Jin Kingdom and the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Zhao Xing is not an all-round superman, what he knows is some battlefield psychology, criminal psychology and some common sense knowledge. But in his opinion, the so-called psychological foundation and common sense sounded to Hua Tuo a completely new world and a magical field. Zhao Xing simply listed some psychological phenomena and mental illnesses, and the miracle doctor immediately drew inferences from them, and organized a group of Lang Zhong to start specializing in this academic field according to the method of clinical data sampling proposed by Zhao Xing.

It has to be said that sometimes a few simple words from Zhao Xing may give birth to or promote the creation and development of a scientific field. This is precisely the great potential and effect of ideas and understandings.

Solve Dong Zhuo, take down Di Dao, and rescue Liu Qian, basically Xiliang's affairs are almost the same. As for some counties that have not yet been mastered, as well as areas where the rebel Qiang people are entrenched, this will need to be resolved after the establishment of a new administrative body in Liangzhou in the next step.

Zhao Xing, who was far away in Yuyang, Youzhou, although he was more than 3,000 miles away from Wuwei in Liangzhou, was able to expand the east-west width of the Jin Kingdom by five times in just a few months, turning the entire vast area north of the Yellow River (except Jizhou), including the Hetao region, into his own big chessboard, and handily played a series of good chess.

Originally, the biggest restriction on the Jin Kingdom was that there was limited room for maneuver, but this time it was a complete opening of the situation, and it was no longer confined to a state.

Others don't know, but Zhao Xing's heart is the same as Spiegel: Youzhou to the east, out of Shanhaiguan, that is, the vast northeast region with rich mineral resources. Zhao Xing, who came later, of course, understood that the Northeast region included not only Heilongjiang, Jilin, Liaoning, and most of the Inner Mongolia Valley, but also the Korean Peninsula a little farther away, the four islands of Wuying separated by a Duima Strait, and even the territory north of the Heilongjiang River farther away.

To the west of Liangzhou, out of the Yumen Pass is a vast territory, a variety of rich production of the Western Regions. In addition to the Changshi Mansion of the Western Regions, which has now been out of the control of the Han Dynasty, there are also small countries such as Wusun, Kangju, and Dawan. In his lifetime, Zhao Xing's wish was to plant the banner of the Great Han on the small island of England...... From the Jin Kingdom to that side, there is also a distance of tens of thousands of miles, which is enough for Zhao Xing's wolf-like generals to toss for a lifetime.

What a big game of chess!

Meals should be eaten one bite at a time, and the road should be walked step by step. Next, the pace of Zhao Xing's expansion will not slow down, but the direction of expansion will be to the east and west and the north. As for the Central Plains, which is only separated by the Yellow River, in order to prevent the Han people from being displaced and dying in large numbers in the war, Zhao Xing will adopt a moderate and gradual attitude, and gradually influence and force this decaying empire to embark on the road of reform through "peaceful evolution", and finally realize the great unification of the north and the south.

Perhaps this is just Zhao Xing's wishful thinking, and from ancient times to the present, it seems that the establishment of a stable and lasting regime has always had to go through bloody killings and destruction. But Zhao Xing is only twenty-seven years old now, with a mature mind of forty-three, and he has the time and energy to do all kinds of political experiments, and he will not lose to the point of bankruptcy.

There are many advanced ideas and concepts, as long as they are spread, it is like sowing seeds in a fertile wasteland, as long as Zhao Xing buries the first seed in the soil, it will not take a few years to be green grass all over the field, and it can no longer be eradicated.

For example, the peasants, soldiers, merchants, and gold stores that are now opened everywhere like wildfires, such as the national health campaign that has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in the Jin Kingdom, such as the Tai Chi five-form boxing that is popular with all classes, such as the multi-ethnic integration road led by the Han people, such as the meritorious evaluation system, and the promotion and application of various new technologies...... These existing new things and systems will not completely disappear because of Zhao Xing's departure.

As long as Zhao Xing controls the factors that have caused the country such as cynicism, which has been castrated, Taoism that advocates the rule of inaction, and Buddhism, which has not yet flourished, the future of the Han Dynasty will surely move towards prosperity and glory. Even if many things could not be completed and realized during Zhao Xing's lifetime, a large number of successors to the Crouching Tiger Junior Class that he personally educated and cultivated will definitely continue to move forward along the road that has been paved in the future.

Zhao Xing, who had returned to Crouching Tiger City and was ready to let go of his hands and feet, was full of strength and confidence. He is like a painter who has been suppressed and trapped for thousands of years, finally facing a huge canvas that can be depicted freely, and the longing and joy in his heart can no longer be described in words.

With a paintbrush in his hand and a full of ambition in his chest, where will he apply the first stroke?
