Guzang City is the largest city in Hexi. Although the western half of Liangzhou has been formed into a group, there have been more than a dozen battles alone, in Guzang City, in addition to the patrol troops that have passed by you all the time, you
I can't even feel the smell of war.
The people were walking on the streets as usual, and the vendors were still happily selling their goods. Occasionally, one or two rogues teased good women, and some thieves were openly stealing. In short, the people here are used to being rich and comfortable, and war?
What is that?
Since the Western Han Dynasty to the present, it has been hundreds of years. There has been no war in Guzang City. No, there is not even turmoil. Liangzhou has always been the peaceful territory in China. Even if there is war, it is basically still.
The solution to the outside world is like the Qin State attacking Zhang Tianxi, who was separating Liangzhou 10 years ago. He fought a war outside. Zhang Tianxi probably couldn't do it, so he surrendered directly.
For the people in Guzang, everyone will rule the same. Anyway, it is like this wealthy, it is like levying more or less taxes, and life is still like that. Therefore, Lord Jun said that Lu Guang was rebelling and was about to fight.
We must follow the envoy to fight against the traitors, which doesn’t feel much about Guzang people. You, Liang Xi, are not from us Guzang, Lu Guang is still a native of Liangzhou. We don’t have any rebellion or not.
interest!
However, Zhang Tianxi came back and started a military riot in Yangwu, and there was more or less news, but Liang Xi was even too cautious about Zhang Tianxi, so he cracked down on these rumors and arrested several people, although it caused her to be
People Zang were quite dissatisfied, but they were somewhat suppressed.
Now, Duan Ye and others have found a restaurant to live in and unload the things. Of course, this century-old Cheqianju had changed its owner three months ago, and this owner named Li was actually
Needless to say, Duan Ping's distant cousin is the base of Duan Ye and others in Liangzhou.
Now Duan Ye and others have changed into a playboy dress and are strolling on the street with a gilded fan. Of course, they have to do business, but it is understandable to relax by the way.
The planning of Guzang City is well done, with straight and spacious roads, tall and neat houses, and clean and elegant streets. In short, in the city Duan Ye has seen in this world, Guzang is undoubtedly the first.
"It is grand and heroic, the number one city in Hexi, and it is indeed well-known." Duan Ye shook his head and praised. But unexpectedly, he was just a sigh of relief, but someone took the blame.
"Is this brother, this is the first time I'm here in Guzang?" asked a young man who looked two or three years older than Yanshen.
Duan Ye looked at the sound of the young man's head, but his hair was pulled into braids on both sides, which looked very funny, but his face looked pretty, but his lips were very thin, and he looked a little ruthless.
But he was covered with cowhide equipment, cowhide armor, cowhide handguards, cowhide belts and cowhide boots, and he was not a Han person at first glance. Therefore, Duan Ye said with some doubts: "Well, it's the first time I'm here in Guzang, but
My brothers often come to Guzang. Well, Guzang City is generous and the people of Guzang are hospitable and generous. I like it very much."
"You're right." The man walked to Duan Ye with a serious look on his face, looked at Duan Ye up and down, "Are you a Han person?"
"Yes! What's the problem?" Duan Ye was slightly dissatisfied. What's wrong with the Han people? The Han people have a long history and a brilliant and rich culture than you. We have not discriminated against you. What else do you dare to do?
Duan Ping and others were also quite unhappy. Although Duan Ye could not do anything without giving orders, they were already ready to take action.
Anyway, it is not a big deal to have a fight with a child because of an argument in the street.
"No, you misunderstood." Seeing Duan Ye and others' bad expressions, the man said seriously: "I am a Xianbei! But I admire you Han people very much. I have no malice. I am friendly to you."
It turned out that he was a Xianbei person. Duan Ye understood a little, and listened to his words. Although he spoke standard, his sentences were a bit stiff, and he was far less comfortable to use them like the Han people and those Hu people with deep Chinese cultivation.
Duan Ye became interested, and stood in the street regardless of himself and waited for him, and asked curiously: "What do we Han people have for you to appreciate? Can you tell me?"
The young man looked up at the sun and felt that there was still time, so he turned around and said seriously: "After my grandfather's death, I was locked up at home by a few bad relatives for a while. I had nothing to do, so I had to stay in his study.
Reading. Although they have made a lot of books, they are just decorating their own storefronts and don’t read them. I just started reading them, from the Analects of Confucius, to the military books and strategies, from the rituals and music to the Book of Songs, I will take you Han people’s
After reading a lot of books, I feel that I have completely transformed myself. "Because Guzang has a large city, a large number of migrant populations, and all kinds of people and things on the streets, the residents have long been accustomed to it, so they are Duan Ye and others.
No one cared about illegal gatherings on the streets, and everyone was still passing by calmly and could not even look at each other.
And the young man seemed to be interested, "We Xianbei people, brave and brave, you Han people can't compare to you, but after reading your books, I realized that there were Quanrong, Baidi, and on the grassland in the past.
Guifang, there were Lin Hu, and later the Huns. The warriors on the grassland were always heroes on horseback. You will definitely not be able to defeat the war, but those nations disappeared or failed one by one, or you simply
Assimilation of the Han people, we can conquer your city, plunder your wealth, and rob your women, but in the end, our nobles still have to put on your furniture, put on your silk, and speak your language.
Rong, reading your poetry and books is elegant. I have thought about it over and over again, but I can't figure out why, but these seem to be taken for granted. You said, shouldn't I admire you Han people so much?"
What the young man said made Duan Ping and others fascinated. It turned out that his nation was so powerful. Isn’t this the legendary warrior that would not fight against others? Therefore, the eyes of the young man became much more friendly.
But Duan Ye was very surprised. He did not expect that a person who was about the same age as the descendant could have such an experience. To put it bluntly, isn’t the cultural advantages of the farming people over the nomadic people?
The farming nations take agriculture as the foundation, maintain land, and clans as the bond. From home to country, they all use land as the gathering, and rivers as the source. They are more conservative in nature. Generally, the limit of expansion is to the nature of forests and grasslands.
The boundary line. The Central Plains dynasty has always been the main focus of farming civilization. Later, the emperor and the scholars and officials shared the world, and formed a cultural tradition of studying and farming as the best, and serving in the army as the best.
The nomadic people on the grassland, due to their harsh natural conditions, have no fixed residences, so they make a living by riding and shooting, and do not care about their territory. Moreover, because they often face the danger of life, the grassland people are generally good at fighting and cavalry.
It is almost unstoppable. Due to the lack of horses and the limitations of folk customs, the Central Plains dynasty is often no match for it.
However, the Central Plains dynasty always built cities and kept defense, which always ensured that although the cavalry on the grassland could go south to plunder, it was difficult to completely subvert the Central Plains dynasty. On the contrary, the culture of the Central Plains and the customs of the Central Plains can always be used to engage in business through marriage.
When the Chanyu and the wise kings who had never seen the world and had never enjoyed blessings, they saw the silk, silk, satin, fine wine and food in the Central Plains, and the songs and dances of the Central Plains.
, Where can I remember the hardships of eating raw meat and drinking blood in the past? So the grassland tribes enjoyed their happiness at the beginning and were not far from defeat. Grassy, the Central Plains dynasty would allow them to live the life of the Han people by combining both soft and hard work, combining swords and infiltration, once they get used to it.
After eating rice and living in a house, once they start moving south, a nation will be ruined.
This is the power of civilization, which moistens things silently, but is almost invincible! The backbone of the Han people is poetry, writing, and clothing. They never need to be remembered and will never be forgotten!
Of course, the vacant grasslands will not always be empty. The Donghu was destroyed and the Huns were partly harmed by some of the Roman Empire and some of them went south to Xianbei. In short, the grasslands in the north and south of the desert will never be short of new heroes.
Duan Ye looked at the young man silently, and he also looked at Duan Ye calmly. Duan Ye read from his eyes that although he had read his admiration for Han civilization, he was more vigilant and unyielding.
"What you said is not wrong." Duan Ye finally spoke, "It is rare that you can see these clearly. There are countless knowledgeable and profound scholars in the Han people, but they may not be able to see them so thoroughly. Brother, you are not an ordinary person."
"Neither are you." The young man said immediately.
"Oh?" Duan Ye was a little curious, "How can I see it?"
"There is no reason, it's intuition!" The boy smiled slightly, walked closer, stretched out his hand, "I'm willing to make friends with you."
Duan Ye was a little dizzy and reached out to high-high with him. With a "bang", the two looked at each other and smiled.
But Duan Ye was about to say a few words, when the young man waved his hand and said, "I have something to do, so let's go first!"
Duan Ye came to his senses. What's the matter? He said he was a friend after chatting for a few days, and he didn't leave his name before leaving, "Hey! What's your name?"
"You will know when you look back! You will see you again if you are destined!" The young man had already walked away with a smile, leaving Duan Ye looking at his back stupidly.
"Well, boss." Duan Ping came over with embarrassment and said, "This person is a little strange."
Duan Ye was also a little embarrassed. He was chatting with people on the street for so long, and it was really not good. Didn’t he see that little Yansheng looked at him impatiently with his arms held.
"This person... is probably not a mortal. If you can meet him in the future, you should pay attention." Duan Ye said seriously.
"Yes." Duan Ping bowed.
If Duan Ye knew who this person was, he would probably risk killing people in the street and eliminate this hidden danger in time!
