Chapter forty-one

"Are these true?" Wang Jin murmured to himself, unable to believe it.

"It's true..." Lu Wen sighed long.

His father was born in an era of threats and intimidation by the Hun cavalry.

When he was a child, he often heard his father telling the humiliating history.

From Emperor Taizong to the late emperor, for more than 40 years, the Hun cavalry almost never fought in the years.

The beacon fire went straight from the Great Wall to Ganquan Palace, and the entire Guanzhong was under the threat of the Huns' Iron Cavalry.

At that time, millions of border residents were in danger from Yunzhong, Shangjun, north to Youbeiping and Liaodong.

How many hometowns were ravaged by the iron hooves of the Huns' cavalry, how many brothers and sisters died under the arrows of the Huns, and how many women and children were captured by the Huns?

No one has made it clear.

From Jia Yi to Chao Cuo, almost all the famous officials at that time were thinking about a question: how to defend the border and how to protect the people?

I thought of ten thousand countermeasures and studied the method three thousand times.

In the end, all the questions were answered with the declaration made by Zi in the court in the first year of Yuanguang: The enemy can go, and I can go too!

So, General Changpinglie waited for Wei Qing to go out of the Great Wall seven times and killed more than 50,000 Xiongnu people.

The Grand Sima Champion Hou Cavalry General Huo Qubing attacked the Huns six times, killed more than 110,000 people, and surrendered more than 70,000 troops from the Hunxie King.

The two prides of heaven worked together to annihilate, capture, destroy and surrender 200,000 to 300,000 people over more than ten years.

Recover Hetao, seize the Hexi Corridor, and the troops headed directly to the Western Regions and the northern desert.

The Huns lamented that the loss of my Qilian Mountains made my animals unrest; the loss of my Yanzhi Mountains made my women without color.

The former invaders finally tasted the bitter fruits of invasion.

The barbarian who once arrogant and domineering and regarded the Chinese as pigs and dogs had to be intimidated and trembled and surrendered to the Chinese army.

Everyone thought that during the Tianhan period, the king's army worked hard to expedition, consuming money and food, and was enough to get enough at the city of Dayuan, which was not worth the loss.

But how many people knew that if there was no conquest of Ershi back then, who would look down on the Han people in the Western Regions? Who would face the Han people?

Before General Ershi attacked Dayuan, Han envoys and merchants were often killed by the countries in the Western Regions.

But what about now?

The Han people were a privileged class in the Western Regions!

No one dares to provoke, no one dares to offend.

Because everyone knows that the Han Dynasty is strong and the Han people are united, the Han people cannot be humiliated, and there will be great punishment if they are humiliated!

But these things are unknown to the people of the country and do not talk about.

The great scholars of the Guliang School just shouted something every day: the weapon of the war is a fierce weapon, and the saints had to use it... The war is fierce and the war is dangerous, and it is not the policy of the benevolent...

But why didn’t they think about this war, and has the Han Dynasty stopped as long as it wants?

Over the decades, millions of Huns were killed or injured.

The Han family seized the Jin people who worshiped their ancestors. Under the command of the Grand Sima, the Wuheng people dug out the coffins of the Xiongnu Shanyu in Longcheng, first whipping the corpse, then crushing the bones and ashes.

The Han army went deeper into the hinterland of the Huns, turning the pastures of hundreds of tribes into white land.

Blood feud has long been formed.

Once the Han army relaxed the restrictions on the Huns and gained a breath of respite, the Huns who had cultivated for more than ten years could make a comeback.

At that time, there will be police officers on the frontier of the Great Wall, and the lives and property of the scholars and the people will be in crisis.

Can the powerful people of the Guliang School rely on their own words to persuade the Huns to retreat?

Sometimes, Lu Wen really wanted to go to Bowangyuan, and looked at the gentlemen of Guliang who were sitting high above the hall, talking about the world and keeping the people, and asked them: Have you really considered the world and the people?

Are you really as righteous as you say?

But he didn't dare to do such a thing after all.

Now, listening to Zhang Yue's reprimand and looking at Wang Jin's face, he was so happy.

"Swear! Swear harder and curse this young master!" Lu Wen cheered Zhang Yue in his heart.

Wang Jin was already in a state of confusion at this moment.

He is a young man, a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old, full of energy.

And he is a young man with ideals and ambitions and determined to do something for the world.

He once thought that what he insisted on and believed in was right.

He once believed that what the teachers talked about was something that was truly beneficial to the world.

No one will tell him these things at home.

The teachers never talked about these stories.

He once naively thought that as long as the war was eliminated and the Han and the Hungarians shook hands and made peace, the world would be peaceful.

At most, I would spend some money and give a few women to the Huns.

But now, he is in chaos.

If what Zhang Yi said is true.

So, didn’t I live in lies before?

Will the teachers lie to themselves?

Probably...no?

His teachers are all gentlemen, with noble character, upright character, and a broad mind to the people of the world, and consider the welfare of the people as their own.

How could they lie to themselves?

They can't lie to themselves!

It must be this Zhang Yi lying!

Yes!

He is lying!

This must be the case!

but……

Wang Jin suddenly thought of a question...

How can these things be lying to people?

The Grand Historian of Shiqu Pavilion records state affairs every day.

Since Emperor Gao, the Grand Historians of all dynasties have faithfully recorded these things on bamboo slips.

He just needs to read the records of the Taishi Lingya Office, so he can know everything?

That is to say...

What he said is true???

Zhang Yue looked at Wang Jin who was already in a state of despair, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Finally, this young man was not helpless.

In fact, he was afraid that the other party had been brainwashed to the point of being stubborn.

No matter what others say, I don't believe it.

Since the other party can still rescue him, Zhang Yue will treat it as a good deed.

Of course, it is also out of the intention of attracting or influencing this young man.

After all, the other party’s family is likely to have great influence in the national court!

So, Zhang Yue walked to the other side, patted his shoulder, and said, "Brother Wang, although I am a Confucian scholar, I am the elder Huang, but I still have some things in common..."

"We are all scholars..."

"What is a scholar? The number starts with one, ends with ten, from one to ten, and those who are ten in one are scholars!"

"Scholars all think that everything is the key!"

"Therefore, we all respect our king and father, be filial to our parents, and love our neighbors..."

"I heard that today some people would rather love the barbarians thousands of miles away than the neighbors around them, or even be stingy enough to face the joys and sorrows of their neighbors... Who is such a man?"

"It's just a hypocrite, just a group of villains who talk big!"

"A true scholar takes the rise and fall of the world as his own responsibility, and takes the interests of the country as his own responsibility!"

"The true scholars all swore: Establish a mind for heaven and earth, establish a destiny for the living and the people, carry forward the unique knowledge for the past sages, and bring peace to the ages!"

"So he ran around and told him, be pragmatic and bowed between the fields..."

"When you are above the temple, you are worried about the people; when you are far away from the rivers and lakes, you are worried about the country..."

Wang Jin was so excited that he couldn't help himself, his face turned red, and he didn't know how to answer.

His mood was very contradictory.

Zhang Yue looked at Wang Jin with a smile, and then looked at Lu Wen, who was already stupid.

On the ability to win reputation and speak out.
