Of course, Liang Guo is not only a capable person in Luo Xianzhi, Xie An and others can see that Xiao Yan's matter is inappropriate, not only is it not good for centralization, but most of the scholars do not like to have another lord on their heads.

The kings at the beginning of the Later Han Dynasty were basically not in charge of the affairs of the fiefdom, and they only ate the food in the kingdom.

In charge of the internal affairs of the kingdom was the minister of state, an official of the same rank as the county guard, who was not only responsible for the affairs of the kingdom, but also responsible for supervising the king.

But history is a cycle.

After the collapse of the Later Han Dynasty, starting from Cao Wei and ending before Cao Wei's clan killed the monarch, various countries began to reuse clan relatives again.

The kingdoms established by these distributed kings and the scholars in the kingdoms were not just the estranged relationships that had existed before.

Most of the scholars had served in the palace and were then recommended to the central government, and these scholars had a relationship with the king.

This kind of relationship between the monarch and the minister is naturally inferior to that between the emperor and the emperor, but it is further than the conquest system of the Later Han Dynasty.

This is a kind of dualistic monarch that is stronger than the dual monarch of the Later Han Dynasty.

Because the master of the expedition is not a de facto monarch in any case, even if he is called a prince or a prince.

And the king.

This is the role of true nation-building.

The kingdom, even if a lot of power is taken away, is still the undisputed king.

Once the king is enthroned, it means that in addition to the emperor, there is another monarch at the head of the clan.

The sub-envelope system is a double-edged sword.

This system can ensure that the local government is still in the ruling order at a low cost, and the suppression of local forces is quite effective, which can ensure the rule of the imperial family.

In this era when information transmission is not fast enough, the speed of response is naturally different between orders issued from the central government and orders issued directly at the local level.

After the Qin State unified the world, if the vast Kanto region was to re-establish the feudal system, even if Luo and Xiang Yu wanted to overthrow the Qin Dynasty, it would probably not be easy.

Of course, the scholars did not want to have a royal family on their heads.

Their reasons are also very sufficient, the emperor, you let the king of the imperial family be in the place, so you don't worry about any danger?

Although we, the scholars, will sell you at critical moments, and we will also divide the world when the world is in turmoil, we will not oppose the court unless we have to, and our loyalty can still be guaranteed under the normal situation of the court, and it will be different when these kings arrive in the place.

After Xiao Yan saw these reasons, he treated them as if he didn't see them.

Man is a very strange creature, when he is young, he is completely different from when he is old.

When I was young, I was almost not afraid of heaven and earth, and I just wanted to create great achievements that the ancients could not achieve, but when I was old, I looked forward and backward, greedy for life and afraid of death, and only thought about being able to live for a few more years.

When I was young, I had a strong sense of acceptance of almost everything new, and I was able to change the world, and I basically had blood in my heart, but when I was old, I would automatically transform into a conservative, and almost everything I couldn't understand would be labeled as a deviant, and then I would reject it.

In terms of family affection, too, the older people are, the more they value harmony in the family, and the more they like those little children, the less rational they become, which is a very bad thing for a king.

As Luo Xianzhi said, if Xiao Yan really owes his other sons, he can give those sons glory and wealth, but he should not give them power.

If you give them power, you will hand them a knife, and the final result will not be controlled by Xiao Yan.

The most outrageous thing is that Xiao Yan's sons originally had no knives in their hands, and most people had no ideas, but Xiao Yan took the initiative to intensify this contradiction.

This can be said to be the most mediocre thing Xiao Yan has done in the past few decades, he is really old.

Sure enough, it is best for an emperor to die at the most opportune time, lest he do something that will bring disaster to the country and the people, causing the whole world to pay a heavy price for his mistakes.

In the end, this matter was not forcibly admonished by Luo Xianzhi, but Xiao Yan still made Xiao Yan a sect king and left Jianye, Xiao Yan looked at the sons who left, and couldn't help but smile in the palace.

At his age, seeing that the unification of the world is far away, what he hopes to see most is that his children and grandchildren can be harmonious, and then the Buddha can give him immortality, and the rest of the things are not important.

After so many years of fighting, he basically hasn't stopped, and it's time for him to enjoy himself.

……

After Wang Meng learned the news, he immediately said in ecstasy: "Nanliang This is the way to take chaos, although I don't know why Gongluo Xianzhi of Gusu County didn't stop it, but it doesn't matter anymore."

This is a good opportunity for my Dayan to take advantage of the disagreement within the Liang State to immediately move the army eastward, as long as I can control Luliang Mountain, I will have a natural barrier in Guanzhong, and that is the real land of Sisai. ”

The topography of Guanzhong has always been very superior, surrounded by mountains, as long as you hold a few passes, you can sit back and relax, but the barrier in the eastern part of Guanzhong, many people think that it is the Yellow River but it is not.

The Yellow River has never been able to compare with the Yangtze River in terms of natural risks, and the Yangtze River is more turbulent than the Yellow River, and the water surface is much wider.

The Yellow River, which separates Hedong and Guanzhong, will freeze in winter, and it can be washed directly from Hedong to Guanzhong, and the reason why the Yellow River is not easy to cross is because of two reasons in the distant Bangzhou period.

The first is that the shipbuilding technology at that time was relatively poor, so the ships crossing the river were prone to capsizing on the Yellow River, and a small force was okay, but the large army naturally could not take this risk.

The second is that the flow of the Yellow River at that time was much larger than now, the climate at that time was very warm, and there were even elephants in the Central Plains, so it is conceivable that the Yellow River at that time was not easy to freeze.

But as the climate gradually gets colder, the flow of the Yellow River gradually decreases, not only making Hangu Pass gradually deserted, after all, there is a riverbed that has been exposed, and even the difficulty of crossing the Yellow River is much less.

The real barrier in Guanzhong is Luliang Mountain.

Bingzhou has always been known as the mountains and rivers in the table, and there are four or five basins sandwiched between Luliang Mountain and Taihang Mountain, which is a natural place of separation, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

But think about it on the other hand, if the country that controls those basins does not master Luliang Mountain and Taihang Mountain, then I am afraid that the result can only learn from the original Zhao State and move the capital from Jinyang to Handan.

If the country that controls Guanzhong has Hedong and then controls Luliang, wouldn't it completely envelop itself in the terrain surrounded by mountains?

This is the most perfect national situation of Xiyan in Wang Meng's eyes, if he has such a national situation, whether it is to enter the east and compete with the imperial court, or to compete with the Liang State, he has a great certainty.

Is it difficult to capture Hedong?

Of course, it is difficult for the Liang Kingdom, after all, this land has never belonged to the Liang Kingdom, but for Murong Chui, it is not particularly difficult.

In the past, this land belonged to the Wei State, and although Murong Chui was the royal family of the Yan State, he inherited almost the entire territory of the Wei State, as well as the scholars of the Wei State, etc., and secondly, the people who now rule Hedong are basically the high-level of the Yan State, and many of them are the emperor's people, but if these people say how loyal they are, it is indeed not called, Murong Chui's identity is too convenient for seizing the throne.

His prestige in the Yan State is indeed a threat to the existence of the emperor, and it turns out that he really has the ability to change the dynasty, Murong Chui led the army in Guanzhong, which had many scholars in Guanzhong and other accompanying troops, and the army rushed across the Yellow River with great power, and then there was a city in the east of the river that surrendered directly.

Those who are loyal to the emperor and resist, facing Murong Trai is just sending him to death, if there are people in the world who can defeat Murong Trai head-on on the battlefield, there is no one at all, even if Murong Ke is resurrected, a simple battle cannot compare to Murong Trai.

Murong Chui took over the entire Hedong in less than three months, and at this time, the army withdrawn from Qingzhou by the Yan court was finally belated.

Was Emperor Yan brutal?

In the eyes of those who were killed, it was naturally brutal, and many people felt that they had completely suffered an unwarranted disaster, but in fact, Emperor Yan's actions did not spread too widely.

He is an orthodox emperor, so he is naturally loyal, even if half of Hedong surrenders, there are still people who are willing to die for him, which is enough to see.

This move of the Emperor of Yan State really destroyed not himself, but the possibility of the entire Yan Kingdom to unify the world while he was alive.

A divided Yan country is naturally impossible to unify the world.

The Yan court withdrew its troops from Qingzhou, losing half of the benefits of destroying the Han State in the first place, and the purpose was to fight a civil war.

This was originally a war between the central and local governments, but when it really fought, it was like a war between two countries, and the reason was very simple, because the interest groups between the two sides were completely different, and it could even be said that the ruling groups were completely different!

Murong Chui led so many people into Guanzhong and finally achieved his current status, what could he do?

Could it be that Guan Zhong was made to accept what he brought from the Yan Kingdom?

Of course not!

He is the weaker side, and all he can do is accept the culture and policies of Guanzhong, and fight for the interests of the people of Guanzhong!

Even if he is a Hebei person, even if he is from a royal family in Hebei, no matter what his identity was, when he became the leader of the Guanzhong people, this is his mission.

Unless one day, such as now, he can defeat the army of the imperial court and return to Jicheng, then he will become the emperor of the entire Yan Kingdom, and at that time, he will have the qualification to represent the people of Hebei.

This is not only a war between Murong Trai and the emperor, but also a war between Guanzhong and Hebei, but now most people do not have this kind of awareness, and most people still have the idea of following Murong Trai to become the founder of the country, and do not consider it from the deepest level, because the occurrence of these events is too confusing.

It's not just that the people in Guanzhong didn't react, but even the people of Hebei didn't react, the emperor's actions were very wrong, and their reaction to Murong Chui was also wrong, it was more like a struggle for power within the imperial family.

Only Luo Xianzhi can see through this in the current world, because in the history books, there was such a battle, and the ancestors have recorded it and analyzed the reasons.

Murong Trai marched eastward in the unknown, his purpose was very simple, that is, to completely defeat the army of the imperial court, he wanted to return to Jicheng, depose the emperor, and then exile him to the deepest and farthest jungle in Liaodong.

As for killing the emperor, then there is no need.

After all, he is the emperor of the Murong clan, and it is not a good thing for him to really kill him, which is completely different from killing Cao Chenghe.

Killing a foreign monarch who makes people angry can add great prestige to him, while killing his own monarch will only weaken the dignity of his own emperor, which is unacceptable to Murong Chui, who will become emperor in the future.

After the Guanzhong army and the imperial army met, they all stood still, the imperial army was a little afraid in the face of Murong Trai, but Murong Trai was simply cautious, after all, the imperial army was stronger than him.

The imperial court has a complete Jizhou, Youzhou, and half of the grassland, and can also pull those Shenghu people from Liaodong to fight, and the combat effectiveness must not be underestimated.

Just one Youzhou and Jizhou can make the entire Guanzhong stand by and be known as the first Kyushu in the world, which is definitely not in vain.

Murong Chui personally commanded the army, and the army of the imperial court maneuvered between the mountains and rivers, looking for opportunities, and the emperor of Yan naturally would not go out in person, he was in Jicheng, waiting for news from the front line.

But there is one thing that everyone ignores, and that is that when the army is outside, isn't it when it is weak on the inside?

Most of the scholars killed by the emperor were the scholars of Jizhou, after all, the strongest region of the Yan clan was Jizhou.

Just when the front line was facing each other, everyone didn't expect that three rebellions broke out in Yan Guozhong at the same time!

The sources of these three rebellions are completely different, and the Jizhou Shi clan naturally needs not say much, in addition, there are also army rebellions!

————

At almost the same time, the "War of the Two Emperors" suddenly broke out in the Yan State, and the "Six Kings became vassals" appeared in the Liang State, these two major events greatly weakened the organization and mobilization ability of the two countries and the ability to expand externally, and the pace of the unification of the world had to be extended again.

If we delve into the reasons for this, this is actually very much related to the extremely chaotic trend of thought in society at that time.

"Xianzhi in the south, Wang Meng in the north", these two parallel Wang Zuozhicai, both have the ability to govern the world, but they cannot change this trend of thought, and it is even difficult to realize it. - "Zhuxia: Northern and Southern Dynasties"
