Chapter 1978 Playing and outing, borrowing grassland
Everything is changing, but all the changes don''t seem so conspicuous.
Outside the city of Chang''an, the wilderness woke up from the deep winter sleep. Although it was still a little cold, there were some grass buds competing to grow, and the momentum of thousands of trees competing for spring.
As the world brightened up from white, gray and black, a new activity also started.
Treading spring.
Fei Qian was no exception, and took his family to the north of Chang''an, where the ruins of Shanglinyuan were playing. Shanglin Garden was destroyed in the period of Wang Mang. At that time, Wang Mang demolished more than ten palaces in Shanglin Garden in the first year of Emperor Dihuang, and built nine ancestral temples with the materials and tiles. Shanglinyuan suffered a devastating catastrophe.
During the Eastern Han Dynasty, most of Shanglin Garden was destroyed, and the old view was no longer there. "Xi Du Fu" also said: "Just look at the ruins in the old ruins, and hear about the old people", which shows that in the Bangu period, Shanglin Garden was already in ruins.
Beside the woods not far away, Xiao Feizhen was running happily, Huang Yueying followed helplessly, and there were guards guarding around, Xiao Feizhen laughed excitedly from time to time.
Combination of work and rest, compared to adults, for children, as long as they can go out and play, it is a good thing.
Fei Qian and Cai Yan walked slowly on the grassy **** beside the forest.
『These days, is this kid still obedient? Fei Qian asked casually, "Actually, many people are staring at this guy, but he doesn''t know it yet..."
Cai Yan tilted his head slightly, "You mean..."
"These people, they know that they also need me to cover them in front, so they won''t move too much when I''m around... But it''s not necessarily when this kid comes up. Ten or twenty years later, Hugh It''s almost time for birth and rest, and people''s hearts will definitely fluctuate..." Fei Qian looked at Fei Zhen who was running with a laugh, "If he is not smart enough by then...huh..."
"what? ! 』Cai Yan doesn''t know much about politics.
"Liu Jingzhou this time, it''s probably not enough. After all, some things can''t be used as a joke..." Fei Qian continued slowly, "If there is one, there must be two, so this time people from Yuzhou and Jiangdong have come... Liu Jingzhou is old, but Everyone is not optimistic about Liu''s son...』
『Liu Jingzhou…』 Cai Yan froze for a moment, 「They…」
"They came to discuss with me how to carve up Jingzhou..." Fei Qian smiled slightly, "After all, I have left a force in Jingzhou. They want to get more, so naturally they have to see what my attitude is. How...so I met with Lu Zijing a few days ago, but not Chen Changwen...do you know why? 』
『Hmm…』 Cai Yan hesitated, 『Is it because of me? 』
Fei Qian smiled and said, "That''s right. I brought you imperial orders and rewards, but Yueying didn’t have it...but they didn’t expect that as long as you teach this kid with all your heart, Yueying will definitely respect you...so...hehe...』
『…』Cai Yan was speechless and lowered her head slightly.
The breeze blew over the grass slope, and also blew over the cloaks on the two of them.
『This is the price for marrying me...』 Fei Qian looked forward, 『Yueying’s personality is not suitable for this, but she is also learning and changing, your personality is actually not suitable for these...』
『I will work hard too…』 Cai Yan whispered.
Fei Qian smiled slightly, turned his head, reached out his hand from the cloak, and held Cai Yan''s catkin.
Huang Yueying in the distance looked back as if she had sensed it.
Cai Yan was about to withdraw his hand subconsciously, but was held back by Fei Qian, and not only that, Fei Qian also waved at Huang Yueying...
Huang Yueying turned her head and seemed to say something to Fei Zhen, but Fei Zhen didn''t have enough fun at all, she was still running on the grass, releasing her energy, as if she didn''t want to come back.
Huang Yueying stomped her feet, and finally stopped following Fei Zhen, and let the guards take care of her, then turned around and walked towards the grassy **** where Fei Qian was, "What are you talking about?" 』
『Talking about Jingzhou...』 Cai Yan said softly.
『Jingzhou…』Huang Yueying also fell silent. Compared with Fei Qian and Cai Yan, Huang Yueying''s feelings for Jingzhou are obviously stronger and deeper.
"My idea is to keep Jingzhou as it is..." Fei Qian stretched out his other hand and pulled Huang Yueying to his side. The three of them stood side by side, "However, these guys are almost certainly unwilling...so the final result is It depends on whether the Liu family can hold it, if not...Jingzhou will definitely get three points...』
"Three points..." Huang Yueying repeated in a murmur.
"Northern Jingzhou, Wancheng, and Nanyang areas, if we don''t die, no one will dare to move..." Fei Qian said lightly, "In the area of ??Xinye, Xiangyang, Cao Sikong is bound to win, and in the area of ??Jiangxia, Jiangdong covets it, and the two sides compete for it." the gist of...''
『Jiangling…』Huang Yueying sighed.
『Yes, that’s right. ’ Fei Qian looked into the distance, ‘Cao and Sun both want it, so they came to me, whoever I support will be more likely to win Jiangling…’
『But...』 Cai Yan hesitated for a moment, and then continued under Fei Qian’s encouraging eyes, "In that case, why did Chen Changwen still intend to provoke me... between me...my sister and me..."
『What challenge? ’ Huang Yueying asked.
Cai Yan''s face was a little red, but he still said: "Those who are rewarded by the court, I have them, but there is no sister..."
『Aha...』Huang Yueying was stunned, then laughed twice, and turned her head away, "Then what, I don''t care at all, I don''t care..."
Fei Qianqian said: "That''s because we fought the Xianbei royal court again in Youzhou... and also threatened Yuyang... If Cao Sikong doesn''t do anything, what will the people under his command think?" Especially at the moment...Jizhou and Yuzhou are dismantling each other, each has their own ideas...So, if this strategy succeeds, it is naturally the best, if it fails, it also shows an attitude...』
Huang Yueying clicked her tongue and said, "It''s really complicated..."
"Hehe, this is the human heart..." Fei Qian raised his chin slightly, pointed to Fei Zhen who was walking back, and said, "Look, if you follow this brat, he will feel safe, so he can run too No scruples... Now that you are back here, even if there are other guards, he will feel a little unsafe, so he will come back naturally... This kid is still young, and he still feels safest by his parents. In 1967, when I was half a child, I felt very irritable and restrained by my parents, wishing to hide away every day...』
『A bear child, his mind and nature will change at any time, and now, there are so many other people around us... 』 Fei Qian sighed slightly, 『How can it be uncomplicated? 』
『Husband... hey...』Huang Yueying leaned against Fei Qian, also sighed, then thought of Jingzhou again, and couldn''t help saying, "Then Jingzhou, Jingzhou is really... irreparable? 』
Feiqian shook his head slowly, and said: "It will be a matter of time..." It is indeed true. In history, Jingzhou was eventually reduced to a situation of being divided. The whole country is falling apart, can the locality be able to take care of itself?
"Sometimes, it''s not that a person can stop if he wants to..." Fei Qian said, "It''s like us...if we say, we don''t want to go on, and then let others...even if this person is willing Let us go, but what about the rest? Are you willing to change to obey this person''s orders? Then this person needs to convince the public, what will he do? So, whether it’s us, the Caosun family, or Liu Jingzhou... to this day, it’s no longer a matter of one or two people, but a matter of a group of people...』
『So…』 Fei Qian turned to look at Huang Yueying, then at Cai Yan, 『Do you understand now? 』
Huang Yueying curled her lips and said, "Got it... I thought you really wanted to take us out for an outing today, but it turned out... Hey!" ’Huang Yueying shook off Fei Qian’s hand, and then stretched out her hand towards Cai Yan, ‘Dr. Cai, let’s ignore this guy, really, even if we come out to play, we have to calculate...Go away, ignore him...’
Fei Qian let go of Cai Yan''s hand, nodded slightly, and then smiled, watching Huang Yueying and Cai Yan holding hands and facing Fei Zhen who was running towards him, and then the two big and one small said something, Then they held hands again, and went to the side of the stream...
Fei Qian smiled, then turned to look in the direction of Jingzhou in the south, the smile on his face still maintained. Presumably, Chen Qun and Lu Su must have had a confrontation in the past two days. Anyway, Cao Sun was so anxious about this matter, Fei Qian was not in a hurry at all, and those who are not in a hurry can often grasp more initiative...
…(^.^)YYa!!…
In the fourth year of Taixing, the first month is under.
Another group of people also became anxious...
The land of the Central Plains is about to gradually enter the great season when the sky is blue and the green trees are verdant. However, in the depths of the desert, it is still a scene of withered grass and trees, and the precipitous and hazy winter scenery.
The cold wind coming from the extreme northern region stays and does not go away. Although it is not as brutal as in the twelfth lunar month of winter, it still makes people dare not provoke it easily.
In this desolate land that can''t be seen as far as the eye can see, the cold wind is howling, blowing down the grass, bending the trees, rolling up the dead grass and dust, whining and howling, and the bleak daylight stays in the sky. Above the deserted sky, it was like being forced by the cold wind a dozen times.
Remnant snow is blown up by the wind in bits and pieces from time to time, changing places as the wind tightens and loosens. The lead gray clouds were driven unwillingly, moving slowly.
The dark clouds in the distance are connected with the horizon. It is not clear where is the sky, where is the earth, and where is the direction to go...
This is Dingling Land. Near Lake Baikal.
"Dingling" was originally the sound of blacksmithing, which belonged to the Xiongnu''s blacksmiths, and then Xianbei called these people Chile people, and because these Dingling people used to use vehicles with large wheels, they were also called Gaoche.
Historically, during the Three Kingdoms period, the Dingling tribe had another huge split. Among them, the weather may have played some decisive factors.
"Ah..." A small man held a handful of withered grass that had just been pulled out in his hand, and put it in front of him, "According to previous years, it should be time for new grass to grow now, but...you see, this grass root ...''
The people sitting in the big tent are all the leaders of Ding Ling. The Dingling tribe is still the ancient tribal council model.
『…』Everyone''s eyes were focused on the withered grass.
Although everyone here is a leader, each of them is very familiar with the grassland. They don''t even need to take a close look at the withered grass in front of them, but they know it by looking at the dilapidated grass blades and black rotten grass roots. Even if the weather gets warmer, the grass will not be able to grow again, because the roots are already rotten.
Weeds are generally perennial. As long as the underground roots are still there, even if the wildfire burns them out, they will grow back the next year, but once the grass roots are rotten, there is no hope.
After a moment of silence, everyone couldn''t help but began to express their opinions.
To survive in the desert, one needs water, and the other needs grassland. Cattle and sheep are like crops for nomads. Year after year, these are the necessary conditions for their survival. Now, what about water? It is still there, but if the grassland is gone or reduced, it will also be a disaster.
Many people have the word "migration" popping up in their minds, but it is not so easy to move even if they are all kinds of drifters in later generations, let alone the whole family migration?
What''s more, many good pastures in the south are in the hands of Xianbei people...
Grassland is like the homeland of the Chinese farming people. No one will easily give up their homeland and give up the place they rely on for survival to others. Therefore, after the word "migration" pops up, follow closely, Another terrifying idea suddenly jumped out!
Historically, the decline of Xianbei took a long time until the rise of the Tuoba clan and the formation of the Rouran tribe, Xianbei gradually withdrew from the stage of history, but now...
『Is what the Han people say...is it true? ’ someone said in a low voice.
Ding Ling and the Han Dynasty are not completely isolated. As early as the Qin and Han Dynasties, Ding Ling and several other ethnic groups united against the Huns because they could not bear the plunder and cruel oppression of the Huns.
In the second year of Emperor Xuan of the Western Han Dynasty, Ding Ling and Wuhuan once attacked the Xiongnu and dealt a heavy blow to the Xiongnu.
In the second year of Emperor Zhang Yuanhe of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Ding Ling, Xianbei, and various ethnic groups in the Western Regions, together with the Southern Huns, defeated the Northern Huns and forced the Northern Huns to move westward.
So, now, it''s just a different target.
『It is said that the Wuhuan people... 』Someone on the left side of the big tent said, 『We have already cooperated with the Han people...In the northern part of Youzhou, there is a new, very large grassland...』
『Wuhuan people...』
『哜哜咔咔…』
Immediately sparked another discussion.
The Wuhuan people and the Dingling people are somewhat similar. They were both forced to resist under the oppression of the Huns, and then they were oppressed again by their former ally Xianbei. Now, the Wuhuan people''s first step seems to have brought some benefits to the Dingling people. new revelation. In an instant, a thought flashed into the minds of Ding Lingtou in the big tent. Could it be that the scene of expelling the Xiongnu in the desert was going to be staged again after a new protagonist?
The leader Ding Ling sitting at the top was silent and did not speak easily, not because the leader Ding Ling dismissed the current situation, nor did he not take the current changes to heart, but because he discovered a very interesting question, which is Ten years ago, or a few years ago, the performance of the Han people was very different...
It is the consensus of almost all the nomadic peoples in the desert, the Han people, there are many people. In the minds of nomads, a large number of people is equivalent to combat effectiveness, so tribes with a large number of people are generally not easy to mess with. Because the people of the Qin Dynasty were warlike, the Han Dynasty, and even the early Eastern Han Dynasty were very strong, so people in the desert still feel a little bit afraid of a Han nationality who dared to confront the most powerful nomadic people at that time. .
It wasn''t until after the Five Disorders of China, or even later, that the nomadic people in the desert gradually changed their concept of the Chinese farming people...
So what the leader Ding Ling is thinking now is whether the Han people will recharge their energy for several years, and then prepare to cook in a pot in the desert, including Xianbei and other tribes?
A series of questions circled back and forth in the mind of Chief Ding Ling like a revolving lantern, often before a conclusion was reached for one question, another question followed one after another, and these questions were inextricably linked. Every possible answer to a question will involve the final result of another or several questions.
This is just too complicated!
Even though leader Ding Ling frowned and thought hard, he couldn''t clear the fog in front of him to peek into the truth behind the problem, and he was completely immersed in thinking.
Seeing that the leader did not speak, the rest of the people in the big tent gradually stopped and focused their eyes on the leader.
Leader Ding Ling looked around, was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "First of all, we must solve the problem in front of us... and the most important problem. We need a new, good pasture..."
"right! 』
『Yes! 』
Everyone echoed, this is indeed the most critical issue before us, and it is also the one that needs to be resolved most urgently.
Leader Ding Ling said slowly: "Only by ensuring the safety and strength of our own clansmen first, can we consider further matters. Between the Han people and the Xianbei people...don''t jump to conclusions right now...but we can send people first Go and "borrow" a pasture from the Xianbei people...』
"borrow? 』Some people understand a little bit, but still some people don''t understand.
Leader Ding Ling continued: "If the Xianbei people are willing to borrow, it is naturally the best, don''t you want to borrow..."
『We will use the matter of joining forces with the Han people to threaten, and beat him if he does not borrow money! ’ said one person in the tent clapping his hands.
"wrong! ”Ding Lingtou laughed and said, “First send troops to “borrow”... Would you be willing to lend your pasture to others with just a few words? So I typed out one first, and then sent someone to say that it was "borrowed"...』
『Oh...』Everyone was stunned, and they all praised him unanimously, showing that the leader was thoughtful.
『If... I mean if, the Xianbei people don’t want to "borrow", and then send troops to come..." A voice asked.
Leader Ding Ling said: "Then we will retreat." Anyway, it will take at least two or three months to come and go. The grassland here should have grown a little bit... And if we say, the Xianbei people are willing to "borrow"...hehe...』
『That pasture is ours! 』
『No…』Leader Ding Ling looked into the distance, 「That means there are more pastures that can be “borrowed”…」
