The Liang Kingdom, which is located in the northwest corner, has always been a big problem for Shi Hu.

Liangguo began with Zhang Rail. In 301 A.D., Zhang Liang, a Han man surnamed Liangzhou, was named the Liangzhou Thorn History by the Jin Dynasty, and in 313 he was named the Duke of Pingxi. and minted five baht coins, and the whole territory was passed.

After Zhang Liang died, his son Zhang Wei took the throne. After the fall of the Western Jin Dynasty, he still refused to defend Liangzhou, used Sima Ye's Jianxing era name, and became a secession regime. It wasn't until 320 that Zhang Mao changed to Yuan Yongyuan, and Qianliang became an independent regime completely!

It is worth mentioning that Zhang's Shishou Liangzhou followed Dou Rong and bowed to the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but his name was Jin Chen, but he also privately called Han Zhao and Later Zhao. It can be seen that Zhang's Liangzhou was actually an independent (or at least semi-independent) secession regime, rather than a local force actually controlled by the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and was known as "Qianliang" in history.

The military power of the Liang Kingdom is still very strong.

The regime of the Liang State has been ruled by Zhang Liang, Zhang Yu, Zhang Mao, and Zhang Jun IV, and has repelled the attacks of Liu Yao and Shi Hu, and crossed the quicksand in the west, attacked Qiuzi, and the Xicheng countries have been annexed. He then defeated Zhao Zhen, the commander of Yiwu Wuji, and established Gaochang County in his territory, controlling a vast area from Longxi to the Western Regions.

By the time of Zhang Jun, the Liang country reached the extreme prosperity, the territory was divided into Liang, Sha, and He three prefectures, and the long history of the Western Regions was set up in Haitou, and Gaochang County was set up in the present-day Turpan region, and the ruling range included Gansu, the western part of Ningxia and most of Xinjiang, and the history recorded its territory as "south over the river and Huang, east to Qin, Long, west to the green mountains, and north and Juyan".

The Zhang clan can be said to be the pole of both ends of the first rat, and has successively accepted the canonization of the Jin Dynasty, Han Zhao (former Zhao), and Later Zhao, such as Zhang Jun, the head of the Liang State now, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty court worships Zhang Jun as the envoy, the metropolitan governor, the general, the Liangzhou pastor, the leader of the Qiang school captain, and the Xiping Gong.

The former Zhao Emperor Liu Yao sent an envoy to worship Zhang Jun as the pastor and king of Liangzhou. In addition, Shi Le also worshipped Zhang Jun as the pastor of Liangzhou, the general of Zhenxi, and the king of Liang.

The Liang Kingdom of the Zhang clan was nominally attached to another country and became a vassal, but in essence it was an independent regime.

For this kind of military matter, Shi Hu still has to ask the opinion of the general Shi Min.

"What do you think, Thorn Slave?"

Shi Min stood up and said: "King, the minister thinks that it is the right time to send troops to conquer Xiliang at this time!" Xiliang Zhang's family, unruly, has long had a heart of disobedience, it has successively accepted the canonization of the Jin Kingdom, the West Zhao (former Zhao) and my Great Zhao State, but has already established itself as a country, and the territory uses its own era name! ”

"Zhang Jun, the king of Liang, has a strategy, can sharpen his discipline and correct his mistakes, is diligent in government affairs, and commands civil and military officials, all of whom can give full play to their talents, and people from near and far are praised, known as Ji Xianjun! Since Zhang Liang arrived in Liangzhou, it was a time when the world was in turmoil, and the army was never at peace. By the time of Zhang Jun, the territory was gradually pacified. ”

In the early years, Zhang Jun sent his general Yang Xuan to lead his army across the desert to conquer Qiuci and Shanshan, so all the countries in the Western Regions surrendered. Shanshan Wang Yuanmeng contributed to the woman, known as the beauty, and Jianbin Yaoguan let her live. The front part of Yanqi and the king of Khotan sent envoys to contribute local specialties. Zhang Jun got a jade seal in the river, with the words 'ruling all countries, building Wuji'. You can see its ambitions! ”

Shi Min said solemnly: "King, my Zhao Kingdom has attacked Liang Country several times, but they have all returned in vain, why not?" It's not that the generals who command the army are not strategic, it's not that the soldiers are not brave enough, it's not that our soldiers are not sharp enough, it's not that our food is not enough, it's because of the limitations of the times, and Liangguo is self-reliant! ”

Zhang Jun was a wise and martial monarch, and his ambitions were already clear.

At that time, Zhang Jun occupied all the land of Longxi, and the soldiers and horses were strong, although he was a vassal to the Eastern Jin Dynasty, he did not use the Eastern Jin Dynasty calendar. The dance of the six hundred dances, the flag of the leopard's tail tree, and the bureaucratic mansions set up are all comparable to the king, but the names are slightly different.

In addition, three counties on the western border of the state were set up as Shazhou, and six counties on the eastern border were set up as Hezhou. The bureaucrats of the two governments are all ministers. He also built a city in the south of Guzang City, built a palace of Qianguang, depicted it with five colors, decorated it with gold and jade, and exhausted its rare and ingenious skills.

Build a hall on each side of the four sides of the hall, the east side is called Yiyang Qingdian, live in spring for three months, and the dresses and utensils are all in accordance with the color of the East; The south is called Zhuyang Red Palace, which lives for three months in summer; The one on the west side is called the White Hall of Political Punishment, and it lives in the autumn for three months; The one in the north is called the Xuanwu Black Temple, and it lives for three months in winter.

There are offices of the officials on duty next to the palace, all of which are the same color as all parties.

In his old age, he lived at will, and no longer lived separately according to the four seasons.

During Zhang Jun's reign, he actively encircled the Jin Dynasty in the south, ostensibly observing the festival of people and ministers, and was loyal to the Jin Dynasty royal family. During the reign of Bing, he worked hard in political affairs, established a son, tried his best to expand his territory, seized the Henan region, and had all the land of Longxi, and divided one side.

There is such a monarch in Liangguo, which is really worrying.

On the side of the couch, how can you allow others to sleep soundly?

Shi Hu squinted his eyes and said, "As the thorn slave said, the Liang country is worried. However, who should be the commander of this attack on Xiliang? How many steps should I ride? How many people? How much grain? How to get started? Please draw up a charter. ”

"Yes." This is Shi Min's own business.

After the court meeting, Shi Hu returned to the Evergreen Palace, and when he was about to take a nap, he heard the inner attendant come in and say that the monk Wu Jin asked to see him.

Although brutal, Shi Hu believed in Buddhism and had great respect for monks, and during his reign, the Han Chinese often became monks to escape the heavy military service. And this monk Wu Jin is one of them.

The government and the opposition all know that Shi Hu's two most trusted monks are Wu Jin and Buddha Tucheng.

Wu Jin's popularity is not high, but Buddha Tucheng is a famous figure, a monk!

Fo Tucheng is a native of the Western Regions, and his surname is Silk. When he was a teenager, he became a monk and learned Taoism, and he could recite millions of words of scriptures and understand the meaning of the texts. Although he did not read the history of Confucianism in the Han Dynasty, but debated and questioned with the scholars Gao Shi, it was all in line with reason, and no one could stump him.

He said that he had twice gone to Zhengbin Country to study the law and received teachings from famous teachers. The people of the Western Regions said that he had attained enlightenment. In the fourth year of Emperor Yongjia of the Jin Dynasty (310), he came to Luoyang and Zhihong Dafa.

It is rumored that Buddha Tucheng is good at reciting divine mantras and can enslave ghosts and gods. Mixed with sesame oil and applied to the palm of the hand, everything thousands of miles away appears in the palm of the hand, just like facing it. Not only can he see it, but he can also see it to those who are fasting. He could tell the sound of the tower bell that it was good for him, and there was not a single one that did not work. He originally wanted to build a temple in Luoyang to preach the Dharma, but at this time, it coincided with Liu Yao's rebellion and turmoil in the imperial capital.

Therefore, Buddha Tucheng's great ambition to build a temple in Luoyang to propagate the Dharma was not realized. So he lived in seclusion in the mountains, forests and grasslands to observe the changes in the world.

Later, Fotucheng came to Xiangguo (now Xingtai City), rushed to Shi Le's subordinates, made plans, assisted Shi Le to become emperor, and established the Zhao State. After Shile ascended the throne, he had great respect for Buddha Tucheng. If you have something, you must ask Buddha Tucheng first, and then give the order to act. After Shi Le's death, Shi Hu abolished his son Shi Hong, proclaimed himself the King of Heaven, and worshiped Buddha Tucheng even more.

Buddha Tucheng promoted Buddhism in Zhao State, promoted Taoism, and established Buddhist temples in the prefectures and counties, with 893 temples. The disciples who followed him often numbered hundreds, and there were as many as 10,000 disciples before and after, and there were many high-ranking monks among the disciples.

This Wu Jin, like a monk like Buddha Tucheng, can be trusted by Shi Hu, and he must also have extraordinary skills.

"King, the poor monk is so polite!" Wu Jin saluted Shi Hu in style.

Shi Hu made a gesture of please and said, "Master, sit down." ”

"King Xie."

"Master, I don't know why you came here today?"

"King, the poor monk is here for your Jiangshan Sheji, the Jiangshan Sheji of the Zhao Kingdom."

"What do you mean by that?" Shi Hu's face was suspicious.

"Isn't it clear to the King? Over the years, the country's wars, whether it is civil wars or foreign wars, the destruction of Duan Liao, the attack on Yan, the conquest of Liang, the invasion of Jin, the Bi Dynasty, and even the recent battle of counterinsurgency, which is consumed, is none other than Liuyi and my people. ”

Wu Jin is also shameless enough, he is an authentic Han man, a Han from a poor background, but by chance, he worshipped Buddha Tucheng as a teacher, proficient in Buddhism, and won Shi Hu's love.

For Wu Jin's words, Shi Hu attaches great importance to them.

Around this, Wu Jin's three views were completely ruined, after all, he had Han blood in his body, but he kept calling himself a "Qianren"!

What is the difference between such a person and a traitor?

Wuhu and Liuyi, of which Wuhu refers to the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Xia, Di and Qiang. In ancient times, Liuyi referred to the Eastern Yi, the Southwest Yi, the Western Qiang, the Western Regions, the Southern Xiongnu, and the Wuhuan Xianbei, and later referred to foreign races.

At this time, the people of the Zhao State were the Qian, and the Liuyi were the Jin (Han), Xiongnu, Xianbei, Di, Qiang, and Ding Ling.

"The national conquest, the people used are mostly the Huns, Xianbei people, Qian, Di and Qiang people, although the Han people have, the proportion is also a lot, but the consumption is not proportional! O king, there are not many people in our country, and the number of people is thin, but there are hundreds of thousands, far fewer than the Huns and Xianbei people, not to mention the Jin people? ”

"My Great Zhao State has more than 18 million people, and the Jin people account for more than half! The Jin people are good at farming, their production is stable, and their population is growing, which is not conducive to my Zhao country. ”

Hearing this, Shi Hu's face sank and he said, "I think so too. ”

"Great King, the fate of the Hu people is about to decline, and the Jin Dynasty should be revived, and the Jin people should be subjected to hard labor to curb their momentum!"

"I see."
