Doupeng sighed: "To be honest, the Later Qin Dynasty established by the Qiang people has no foundation. The Yao tribe itself is not the majority of the Qiang people. The kind that can unify Longyou in Hexi Province has its origins.
Compared with the Bald Tribe and Qifu Tribe, their strength is much inferior. At first, it was just a small tribe with only a few hundred households of herdsmen. It was forced by other large tribes in Hexi and fled all the way into the Western Jin Dynasty.
During this period, Guanzhong was lucky enough to survive.”
"During the time of Yao Xing's grandfather Yao Yizhong, by annexing many small and medium-sized Qiang tribes during the Eight Kings Rebellion, the Yao tribe gradually developed and expanded, reaching the size of thousands of tents, and entered the
The Guandong region later became the general of the Shi Zhao regime. With the right to recruit troops, his strength was rapidly improved and he became a warlord with tens of thousands of troops. Even Ran Min, who had the reincarnation of Xiang Yu, was defeated by the Yao Qiang.
Under Bing's men, this is undoubtedly the Yao tribe's most majestic moment."
Kumarajiva said calmly: "It is indeed not easy for the Yao tribe to develop from a small tribe with a few hundred tents and unable to gain a foothold in its hometown to a warlord tribe with tens of thousands of soldiers. Chief Yao is indispensable.
, but, when Shi Zhao was destroyed, he did not see the situation clearly, and wandered around Guandong for too long, so that he allowed the Fu family of the Di tribe, who was also from a small tribe, to enter Guanzhong first and establish the pre-Qin regime.
, and the Yao tribe once served as officials in the same dynasty as the Fu tribe during the Shizhao period, and also fought together as comrades-in-arms. In the end, when the Yao tribe was unable to gain a foothold in Guandong and was forced to move west, they were replaced by their old comrades-in-arms.
The Fu family was destroyed by the former Qin Dynasty, which can be said to be a trick of fate."
Doupeng smiled and said: "Who could have predicted that things would turn out differently at this time? Fu Jian personally led the troops to attack the Yao clan and killed the Yao clan chief. Yao Xiang, who was known as the world's famous general, spared Yao Chang.
, As a result, the reincarnation of heaven, after the Battle of Feishui, the former Qin collapsed, Yao Chang and Murong Chui took the opportunity to rebel against the Qin, and in the end it was not Murong Chong of Xi Yan who killed Fu Jian, but Yao Chang, who had spared his life that year.
guy."
"It's just that although Yao Chang was insidious and cruel, and built the Later Qin on the corpses of countless soldiers and civilians of the former Qin Empire, he was eventually punished by God and died violently. Yao Xing inherited a lot of Fu Jian's character and was a generous and kind man.
, after several failed expansions, under the advice of your great monk, a truce was called. However, in terms of raising tigers, Helian Bobo was just like Fu Jian did to his father.
Be generous."
Kumarajiva said coldly: "I don't have much favorable impression of the Later Qin Dynasty. After all, my motherland is in Kucha, and my place of becoming a monk is also in Kucha. Whether it is Fu Jian, Lu
Guang and Yao Xing are the ones who kidnapped me and forced me to become homeless. Although they all regard me as their national teacher, I will not be grateful to them for this. It’s just that I have experienced too much in my life.
I have witnessed too many tragedies in the world, and I don’t want any more lives to be lost. If I can use my power to protect the safety of the people, it will be an immeasurable merit. Therefore, in my eyes, Yao Xing is just a person who can help me survive.
He is just a human being, and I do not have to support him."
Doupeng smiled and nodded: "Yes, your great monk is a holy monk. He only does good deeds and does not do bad things. Naturally, he does not have to bow to the king of the world. However, what I am talking about here is the Yao clan. In fact, from beginning to end
It is just a Qiang tribe with little power and a shallow foundation. It has neither tradition nor a strong core ruling group. Even the tribe has only tens of thousands of people, relying on hundreds of Yao clans.
Maintain the relationship. And like the Murong clan, Tuoba clan and other Hu tribes, they also have no direct chiefs to inherit these rules. The clans fight for the throne. Just like what you just said, send troops to attack Nanliang.
Isn't the battle an unjust battle orchestrated by Yao Xing who favored the third prince Yao Bi and wanted him to obtain military honors to replace the prince Yao Hong?"
Kumarajiva frowned, nodded, and said: "You are right, it is indeed an unjust war, and there are many contradictions within the Yao family. As the prince, Yao Hong has been weak and sick since childhood, and he also likes
Being close to the Confucian scholars and nobles of the Han Dynasty was inherently inconsistent with the traditions of the Qiang tribe. Although Yao Xing stopped fighting in recent years, the Later Qin Dynasty conquered the world on horseback after all, and force was still the first priority. If he really gave up martial arts and followed civility,
First of all, the aristocratic heart among the Qiang people will be lost. The reason why Fu Jian collapsed in the former Qin Dynasty was also related to the fact that he was too benevolent and righteous, liked Han culture too much, and had a gap with the Di clan."
Doupeng said in a deep voice: "Externally, the foundation is not stable and cannot be integrated with the Han people in Guanzhong and the Hu people from other tribes. Internally, clans are fighting for power, various disciples are fighting for heirs, and there are powerful enemies like Hu Xia outside, and even
The vassal tribes in Liangzhou are unable to suppress it. Great Monk, your Great Qin is actually in a precarious state. If you don't manage it well, it may be completely destroyed like other short-lived Hu regimes in the Sixteen Kingdoms. I'm afraid you need to do it early.
Be prepared and don’t let yourself end up with Hou Qin.”
Kumarajiva said in a deep voice: "There is nothing ready to do, and it is useless to do it. I am just a monk. In this troubled world, I come to save all sentient beings for the Buddha and accumulate virtue through practice. No matter who becomes the ruler, I will
I will not be attached to him. As long as he can protect the pure land of my temple and allow me to save a few more people, his merits will be immeasurable. Of course, an evil ghost like Helian Bobo, who is cruel and easy to kill and has no respect for the Buddha,
His existence will only harm countless people in Guanzhong, I still have to find a way to exorcise the demons and help Great Qin defeat him."
Doupeng smiled and said: "So, let Hu Xia go and fight with the forces in Liangzhou. This strategy of driving tigers and wolves is the only way to save your Qin country. Even if Hu Xia can win, there will be no hope in Liangzhou."
It is difficult to gain a foothold. The most likely result is to return to the Hetao with some looted cattle and sheep and wealth, and the loss will be many combat-effective soldiers. This actually weakens their strength. If we fight this kind of battle a few more times, we will see.
It seems that Hu Xia has robbed a lot of money, but it will also be the beginning of their demise."
Kumarajiva was moved in his heart and asked: "If you have money, you can recruit soldiers and horses. How can it be a decline?"
Doupeng said solemnly: "Because Hu Xia is a bandit on the grassland. They recruit soldiers and horses based on the benefits of plundering. But on the other hand, if they are not too poor to fight, who will be willing to work hard?"
What? Once Hu Xia is allowed to loot the money from the trade routes, those servant tribes who have always been poor will have money and can live a prosperous life. Their desire to go to war again will be greatly reduced. Instead, they may be greedy for life and afraid of death.
This is the starting point of the decline of all barbarians who dominate by force!" (End of this chapter)
