In this world, there is always a saying, that is, this is the world of the Su King.

Whether it is the Zhuxia people or the grassland people, they all know the existence of this sentence, and many people are convinced of it.

Ji Zhao's popularity on the grassland may be even higher than he imagined.

In the grasslands of the north of Zhuxia, there are many Hu people, some of them were born Hu people, their ancestors have been for thousands of years, and there are also many losers in the Central Plains, who were driven to the grassland.

The oldest ones have been driven to the grasslands since the time of the Yellow Emperor, and the most recent ones were in the late Han Dynasty to escape the war.

The grassland cannot be cultivated, so it has to take the road of nomadism, what is nomadism?

The history books say that they live in pursuit of water and grass, they drive livestock all year round, and after eating a pasture in the spring, they migrate to the winter pasture to continue eating, which is called changing fields.

Even if the best farmer in the Central Plains came to the grassland, he would become a grassland man.

Because there is no land to grow here, only grazing, geography has a huge role in determining people.

But the grassland has changed after all, and countless Han people who read the name of King Su have integrated into it, and the traditional belief in the god of the sky, sun, moon, mountains and rivers has changed.

This change is slight, or rather, the Suwang of the steppe is different from that of the Central Plains.

Moreover, even if they have the same belief, they do not delay the hostility between the grassland and the Central Plains, nor do they delay the fact that the cultures of the grasslands and the Central Plains are completely different.

Don't talk about the pure grassland, let's just say that the Yan country that has been transformed by the Luo country has been a complete Zhuxia culture since its birth.

However, after more than 100 years of development, because of the way of survival of fishing and hunting, the political atmosphere and cultural characteristics of the country are very different from those of the Central Plains.

For example, in the Yan Kingdom, the strength of the Murong family is already strong enough to threaten the royal family, but the royal family does not eradicate the Murong family, which is unthinkable.

This is why most of the scholars in the Central Plains are reluctant to take refuge in the Yan Kingdom, they adapt to the political laws of the Central Plains, and let them recreate the political ecology of the Yan Kingdom, they are unwilling.

The people of the Central Plains do not like to distinguish the tribes on the grassland that have a deep blood feud with each other, and they do not like to distinguish the different races among them, as long as they live on the grassland, they all call them Hu.

Although this method is relatively stupid, the grassland tribes that originally had contradictions with each other actually identified with each other, not only the Hu people, but also other barbarians.

But the advantage is that it has set a target for the Han people in the Central Plains, and they have set up a grassland tribe, so they don't have to worry about not being able to do it because they were once Han people, so they can only say that there are advantages and disadvantages.

The living conditions of the Hu people on the grassland have been very poor since ancient times, and the defeated will go to the grassland, while the victors will stay in the plastered land of the Central Plains.

You can imagine what kind of living environment is on the grassland.

Natural disasters have been prevalent in the Central Plains in recent years, but natural disasters of this magnitude are nothing to the grassland.

The white plague and the black plague on the grassland are disasters that can destroy everything, and Luoling was to sow the white plague on the grassland, which led to the death of countless Huns.

Throughout the pre-Han Dynasty, the Hu people on the grassland would either be dogs for the Han Dynasty, or they would be beaten to death by the Han Dynasty.

The generals of the Han Dynasty executed the Xiongnu on the shore of the North Sea twice, which will always be a nightmare in the hearts of those heroes of the grassland.

After entering the Later Han Dynasty, this situation changed somewhat, and although it was still impossible for the grassland to invade the Han Dynasty, at least it could fight back and forth on the border.

The grassland and farming are like this, the power of the one goes one and the other, the grassland is inexhaustible, the killing is endless, as long as the grassland is still there, there will always be tribes on the grassland.

People cannot be refreshed on the grassland, but there will be people in the Central Plains who flee to the grassland in order to avoid harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes.

Many people may not understand why farming is a nomadic herder, because taxes are harsh and fierce.

Just as many people can't understand why it's so simple for the big families to hide the population, the inventory of the population always has to be strongly promoted by the imperial court, and it can't be with the hidden people.

Because most people always feel that the people are sold into slavery in the family and live a miserable life, they have to do things for the family, but in fact, the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes are fiercer than the tiger, and it is easier to live by farming land for the family than planting their own land.

The grassland may die and regret it later, but the Central Plains will really die now, which is the reason for fleeing to the grassland.

After many years of accumulation, today's grasslands have finally begun to flourish again.

Driven by the fortune of the sky, it ushered in its own period of prosperity, and if there is a real lord of the grassland now, he may really be able to call himself the heir of the sky, the son of the sky surrounded by the sun and the moon.

Just like this era of the late Han Dynasty, when talents were at their peak, the Hu people began to usher in their own era.

When Ji Zhao saw Hu Renyun in Tianzhu, he was thinking about a question, in the era in which he lived, in the post-Three Kingdoms era, looking at the history books, how many names were in it?

How many Hu people, how many Han people, this is part of the rules of the world, the game he crossed, is a game of family survival, in the game does not change history, or history is a background board, the children of the family are just a line of data, but after crossing over, those words have become a living person, so he is immersed in it, he does not want to see the appearance of Wuhu Chaohua again.

Of course, the most important thing is that he doesn't want to see the appearance of the Yuan and Qing dynasties, there are still people like Fu Jian in Wuhu Chao China, and there are still people like Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Han people and Xianbei finally created the prosperous feudal empire of the Tang Dynasty, Zhenguan and Kaiyuan are the times that Ji Zhao yearns for the most, but the Yuan and Qing dynasties really can't find a trace of merit.

The people of the Central Plains are thinking about how to ensure the smooth operation of the country, and the Hu people are also thinking about how to make the tribe survive this terrible natural disaster.

Of course, these nobles on the grassland are not really trying to make the herdsmen under their command live better, just as there are only a few emperors in the Central Plains who take the people as their own responsibility.

But even if they are treated as resources and livestock, they don't want their tribe to be hit.

Whoever you are, you're sure to set your sights on the south in the end.

Only by occupying that warm environment where you can farm can you keep the entire ethnic group alive, which is completely consistent with the reason why Yan Kingdom went south.

For so many years, the Yan Kingdom has been able to achieve a lot of victories with a much smaller population than the Central Plains, because the Yan people are unswervingly determined to occupy the land of the southern country.

When the Han Dynasty mobilized soldiers to attack the Xiongnu, it was also for similar reasons, only life and death can best stimulate people's potential.

This group of Hu people who have been thinking about fighting hard all along, if they don't fight them desperately, the final victory or defeat is really hard to say.

There are many people among the Hu people who can be called geniuses, and after the Central Plains Tianjiao gradually began to wither, Cangtian couldn't wait to push out those familiar names among the Hu people.

Especially after Ji Zhao appeared at the location of the Heavenly Pillar and began to merge, this was probably the last time that Cangtian was directing the world to move forward.

In recent years, some of the books of the Central Plains have gradually spread to the grasslands, and the existence of the Yan Kingdom has greatly enhanced the communication between the Hu people and the Zhuxia.

These Hu people, who are not only fierce but also read Han books, and have no traditional shackles, have exerted a strong destructive power, which makes people feel shocked.

Between the white mountains and black waters in Liaodong, he walked out of the Yan Kingdom, which is like a number of princes today.

The single combat effectiveness of the cavalry of the Yan Kingdom is so strong that it is the best in the world, and to some extent, even the Xiliang Iron Cavalry is not as strong as this group of knights who came out of the ice and snow.

But before the existence of the Yan Kingdom, there were a lot of Hu people in the land of Liaodong, and it may not be appropriate to describe it as many, after all, with the production mode of the Hu people and the environment of Liaodong, it is unrealistic to want to have a large population.

But I have to say that the Hu people living in the land of Liaodong are very strong in combat, whether it is Wuhuan or the Xianbei tribe that is feuding with the Yan State, these Hu people who are called the Eastern Hu family are very strong.

The people of this fishing and hunting tribe are quite brave, and the fishing and hunting have endowed them with exquisite archery skills and physical fitness, and the scarce and difficult to obtain food and the cold environment have made their endurance and physical strength reach the extreme.

There are many Hu people in the Yan Kingdom, but more Hu people are hidden in the white mountains and black waters, and the Yan Kingdom naturally has no ability to encircle and suppress every Hu people, which is absolutely unrealistic, even if the Yan Kingdom is destroyed, it can't be done.

Not to mention the Yan Kingdom, even if the Central Plains tried its best, it would be impossible to kill every Hu person in Baishan and Heishui, after all, the Central Plains had not been able to wipe out the barbarians in Jiangdong and the southwest until now, let alone Liaodong, which had stronger combat effectiveness.

There is a mountain in Liaodong, called Da Xianbei Mountain, where the ancestors of the Yan Kingdom were exiled, so they took a lot of place names as their clans.

These clans have spread to the surrounding Hu tribes, so many Hu tribes have their own surnames, and those surnames have the format of the Han people, but they are not in the traditional surnames of the Han people, but belong to the surnames of the Yan people, such as Murong.

Among the many tribes known as Xianbei, there are many surnames of Yan State, and in the eyes of the Hu people, Yan Country is also Hu people.

Because Yan is not Han Chinese, lives outside the Great Wall, and has a different culture from the Han people, most Hu people refer to Yan as Yanhu.

The Hu people believe that the Yan Kingdom is also a branch of Xianbei, and everyone lives near the Great Xianbei Mountain.

As for the question of the belief in the Yan Kingdom, this is not a problem, as mentioned earlier, the belief of the grassland people is very complicated, and the belief of King Su Changshengtian is not uncommon in the grassland.

The only difference is that Yan is more cultured, and these Hu tribes don't understand how Yan brought so many books to a bitter cold place like Liaodong, but it is indeed very powerful.

During the tribal war, when the Yan State fought with the Hu people, the Hu nobles were very fond of snatching the books in the hands of the Yan State, and these nobles all knew Chinese characters, and it can even be said that many of them already knew a lot about the culture of the Han people.

The battle for land in Liaodong ended up being won by the more organized Yan people, but the Hu people, who were driven out by the Yan people, were not complete losers.

The Hu tribe that came out of the meat grinder in Liaodong is almost a complete national system, and such an existence is almost a complete dimensionality reduction blow to other tribes in the northern grasslands.

These Hu people are more fierce, their archery skills are more superb, and their riding skills are not inferior to those of nomads.

The grassland, which had been somewhat neglected by the Central Plains, had the meaning of being unified, and when the Central Plains had just moved from unification to division, it seemed that a unified regime was about to emerge on the grassland.

And this regime does not just rely on picking up leaks, more and more geniuses appear in the clan, and endless geniuses crisscross the grassland.

In the years of confrontation between the Han court and the Xiongnu, there were always countless Hu cavalry serving under the command of the Han court, especially under the later Liaodong Protectorate, there were many Hu people in service, and now on the border, there are still many Hu people serving under the command of the Wei State.

Not to mention the Yan State, there are nearly half of the Hu people, but now the Hu people regime on the grassland has produced an idea of unifying all the people who draw the bow, and they have not only appeared military geniuses, but even political geniuses, trying to unify the loose tribes into a country with strong cohesion.

They first chose a resounding name for themselves, that is, the word Xia is different among the Hu people, representing antiquity and nobility.

Then these Hu people began to study how the Xiongnu lost to the Han Dynasty, and analyzed countless reasons, such as the equipment of the Han Dynasty was more powerful at the beginning, the national strength of the Han people was stronger at that time, and the generals of the Han people were even better at that time, and finally it was their Dadan Yu Khan who said the real reason.

At the beginning, the Xiongnu were not a country at all, but a loose tribal alliance, and those kings ostensibly obeyed the orders of the Xiongnu royal court, but in fact they went their own way.

In the end, let the Wushuang Marquis and the Champion Marquis and the Marquis of Changping in the territory of the Xiongnu for thousands of miles, as if they were in a no-man's land, they were able to defeat one tribe after another, otherwise with the strength of hundreds of thousands of people who led the bow during the heyday of the Xiongnu, how could they be defeated in successive battles, weakened by the Han Dynasty again and again, and finally defeated by the First World War.

Xianbei Shan Yu Khan's words naturally have a lot of truth, and it can even be said that this is indeed one of the main reasons, the Xiongnu kind of tribe fights a serious country like the Han Dynasty, and it is strange that the front can win, but a grassland regime was directly destroyed by the Han Dynasty, and even Shan Yu was beheaded twice, which is indeed outrageous.

Now that they have learned this lesson, these Hu people who came out of Liaodong have a very high degree of organization, although they are not like so many official offices in the Central Plains, but in terms of military organization, the degree of integration is extremely high.

Or that the whole grassland is changing to a military empire, and the tribes used to gather at will, but now the tribes on the grassland are being reorganized, based on soldiers, 100 people, 1000 people, 10,000 people, and those newly conquered tribes are broken up and re-combined according to the soldiers, coupled with strict military regulations, the scattered grassland tribes that will fight as soon as they appear howl.

————

After Cao Cao and Liu Bei were proclaimed emperors respectively, they each established a country and had their own era names.

Cao Cao was defeated in Jizhou, Wei suffered heavy losses, and was completely unable to go east in a short period of time, after he established the emperor, he thought that Luoyang was really not safe enough, once the Luoyang Eight Passes were breached, there would be the possibility of being captured at any time, so he put all his thoughts on moving the capital to Chang'an, and those scholars who followed him also migrated to Chang'an, including Luo Yan at the beginning, in order to prevent him from having any connection with the Han State, and also moved the main branch of the Hebei Shi clan to prevent them from helping the Han State stabilize the rule of Hebei, Also use these people to remotely control Hebei.

Hebei does not have this group of scholars, the rest of the scholars will take the opportunity to establish rule, Hebei may be difficult to bring Liu Bei help for a few years, after doing all this, Cao Cao exhausted his mental strength, in the head wind attack pain unbearable, lingering on the bed for more than a month after collapse.

The crown prince Cao Ang naturally did not have any turbulent succession, the new emperor of Wei was established, and the handover of Wei was still stable, but after all, it still caused some changes and produced some instability.

Liu Bei took the opportunity to attack the eight passes of Luoyang in the Wei State, and the Wei State was beyond the reach of Chang'an, and he also had to guard against the attack of the Xia State in the Western Regions, after all, Ma Chao's previous experience, they saw it very clearly.

Cao Ang considered that if he had been mobilizing grain, grass and troops from Chang'an, he would be in a state of exhaustion, which would not be conducive to his subsequent recovery.

Therefore, Cao Ang took Xiahoudun as the envoy to lead the governor of Sanhe, and became the de facto commander-in-chief of the Eastern Theater of the Cao Wei regime, leading all the wars east of Cuihan.

This is a de facto division and rule, but Xiahoudun's family and family are in Chang'an, which can be regarded as a means of checks and balances.

In the past history, the first person to have this status was Ji Zhao.

The advantage of dividing Shaanxi and ruling is to greatly reduce political costs, although Xiahoudun is not good at fighting, but the government is a good hand, the generals of Wei State guarded the Xingyang defense line, and resisted Liu Bei's attack with difficulty.

Wu still encroached on the land step by step, so it decided to take advantage of the weakness of Wei to attack Nanyang and capture the last big stronghold in the west, and then face the Central Plains to advance and retreat.

Cao Wei, who was already tired of state affairs, was naturally not the opponent of the two countries, so he suffered heavy losses again, and Henan and Nanyang were crumbling.

But no one in this world can always be smooth, when people are successful, heaven and earth are all together, and when the road is gone, it is not up to anyone.

Liu Bei collapsed in the army, and before his death, Guan Yu, Zhuge Liang, Lu Shen, Liu Ye, and Fa Zheng were the auxiliary ministers, jointly assisting Liu Chan, a clan with a foreign surname, an heir of Luo Qi, a foreign relative, an uncle and the original shareholder, a clan, and a representative of Ma Chao, who later took refuge, and it was also a talent that Luo Qi explained to be reused, which was a foolproof arrangement.

At that time, Yan Guo went south to the north of the Kou Han Kingdom, and the Han State withdrew its troops in Xingyang, and the crisis in the eastern part of Cao Wei was lifted.

After a few years, the Xia King of the Western Regions was assassinated, the Western Regions were chaotic, the Wei State in order to sweep away the worries, the competition for the Hexi Corridor Horse Farm, brazenly attacked the Xia State, the Xia State was defeated and retreated, the four counties were all based on the Wei State, swept away the threat of the Xia State, the Wei State began to accumulate national strength, a hundred years later, although the Han Dynasty was not as prosperous as the first Han Dynasty, but after all, it is the country of abundance, land conditions, etc., Cao Wei moved all the population of the areas bordering other countries, and a large number of Guandong people moved in, so that this place flourished again.

After a few more years, the Han State, which had the deepest background, finally settled the affairs of Jizhou, and invited the Wu State to attack the Wei State again, and the Han State attacked Xingyang, the Wu State attacked Nanyang, and the state attacked Hedong.

Wu Guo has been preparing for a long time, and he took the lead in breaking through, and Nanyang finally fell into the hands of Wu State, but at this time, a large number of people in Nanyang have been moved away by Cao Wei, and Cao Wei is still shocked.

Wu stopped attacking when he got Nanyang, and Zhou Yu, the governor of the capital, died of illness and turned to negotiate peace with Wei, Wei could only pinch his nose and admit this matter, and Lu Su succeeded him as the governor of the capital and Huainan.

The army of the Han State was not allowed to enter before Xingyang, and was separated by the ferry in Hebei, and there were Yan State and Wu State dragging their feet, and they did not break through the pass and returned to Luoyang, and the law was silted up and dissatisfied, but they had no choice but to retreat, and the old generals of the Han State began to wither.

Liaodong became colder and colder, and a large number of the people of the former Yan Kingdom went south to enter the country, and the population of Liaodong gradually withered.

Yan Lin tried to prevent the Yan people of Liaodong from going south and set up a military administration area in Liaodong, and the Yan people said angrily: "It is difficult to survive in the severe cold in the extreme north, and the ancestors have been determined to go south for a hundred and fifty years, but now they have been blocked, the emperor has built a palace in the south and is blissful, and the people are living in the extreme north, how unfair." ”

Yanlin was killed by a mutiny, the new emperor succeeded to the throne, and no one dared to stop the Yan people from returning south, a large number of Yan people entered the territory of Youzhou, and the population of Liaodong became more and more sparse.

A few years later, the new emperor of Yan was killed by his courtiers, and Murong and Gongsun Er's joint dictatorship in Yan State suppressed the Yan royal family, and Yan was in chaos.

The Han State took the opportunity to conquer the entire territory of Jizhou in the north, and the Yan State moved away the people of Jizhou and escaped into the territory of Youzhou, and the power of the Han State reached its peak.

Lu Bu has passed away, and the state is divided, Zhang Liao's prestige is not enough to completely subdue everyone, so he fell into internal disputes, and now the state not only owns the state, but also gets a part of Hedong, and the power is very strong.

The Han State broke off an arm and wanted to form an alliance with the Wu State, but the Wu courtiers did not agree, believing that the Han State was the first enemy, so the Han State became enemies with the Wei State, the Yan State and the Wu State when the Han State was at its strongest, and the Han State was solemn.

After a few years, Luo Chu took Lu Su as the governor and Lu Xun as the general of Zhenbei, led the army of Wu by land and water and entered the Han State Huaisi Xuzhou land, to complete the last piece of the puzzle of Wu State, in the face of the great merit of the Northern Expedition, each family was enthusiastic to contribute, Wei State prepared for many years, mobilized a large number of troops in Guanzhong to send troops to Guandong, attacked Yanzhou from Xingyang, Yan State sent troops to Jizhou, and Han State had to fight on three fronts.

Guan Yu guarded Jizhou, Lu Shen guarded Yanzhou, the generals gathered in Xuzhou, after several years, Yan State did not have enough grain to retreat, but the Han State had a general fall.

Cao Ang collapsed in Chang'an, he was not old, he was also suffering from head wind, his son Cao Rui succeeded to the throne, Cao Rui's prestige was insufficient, and he was worried about the danger of the army outside, so he withdrew the army to protect his throne.

The army led by Lu Su met Fa Zheng head-on and did not achieve a big victory, but everyone did not expect that Lu Xun of Wu State flooded the Han army in Huaishui and achieved a big victory, and even led the army to conquer Pengcheng.

Gan Ning under the command of Lu Xun, unstoppable, in the Huai River basin of the waterway, the two are unstoppable, after learning the news, the successor Xiahoudun to guard Luoyang Wei Governor led the army of Sanhe again, Yan also took advantage of the fire to rob, in the face of greater threat, Han can only temporarily retreat, stationed in the north of Xuzhou, but the situation of Xuzhou can not be defended has become a foregone conclusion, the two countries in the Huai River basin confrontation, each other has no means to completely solve each other.

But Wu has the advantage, Wu can put all the strength of the entire country into it, while Han has to face two other enemies, at this time the weakness of Han has no danger to defend, just like Wei and Qi during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, once besieged by several sides, they can't hold it.

The Han State realized this and began to build key cities in several directions, in fact, mainly the Yan State in the north, and it was not so easy for the Wei and Wu states to attack the Han State.

However, Wu was not willing to directly unite several countries to defeat the Han state, and the Wei state, which occupied Guanzhong and Luoyang, was also a great enemy.

Wei also has its own strategic plan, will not let Wu defeat the Han State, now the main strategic direction of Wei State is to start from Guanzhong to take Shu State, and then completely recapture Hedong, that is, the complete Western Qin trend, and in the face of Wu State will be in a strategic position to have the upper hand.

The military strength of the Yan State is still very strong, but the war potential is insufficient, but in the face of the Han State with sparse cavalry, even if it can't be defeated, it can be withdrawn, and the situation in the Yan State gradually calmed down, and after the Yan State reached a balance, the domestic nobles reached an agreement, that is, to seize the southern place first.

One is Jizhou, waiting for other countries to attack the Han State, see if you can find an opportunity, in front of the Yan State, Jizhou is completely undefended, the cavalry of the Yan State can rush to the north bank of the Yellow River, if it is frozen in winter, it can directly rush to the north bank of the Huai River, and the other option is to merge the state, Yan can enter the state from the Daidi, without going through the Taihang Eight Paths, seize the state, Jizhou is at your fingertips.

Zhang Lu, the king of Hanzhong, had died in Hanzhong, there was chaos, Wei began to attack, Liu Zhang, the king of Shu, watched those emperors in Chengdu one by one, trembling, the courtiers in Shu were discussing whether to take refuge in Wei or Wu, as for holding Shu, no one believed that they could hold it.

After Wei broke through Han China and occupied Hanzhong, Liu Zhang, the king of Shu, sent people to Wu, after all, the treatment of surrendering Wei is not known, but Liu Cong's treatment of surrendering Wu is quite good.

I'm finally able to write the text, and I'll send two chapters at twelve o'clock at noon tomorrow!
