Chapter 771: : The honor of being a cannon fodder

When Li Kuang received the report from the front, he specially summoned Varug and Chizhelu, who had been brought over with the defeated piece, to wait in the tent.

"The Shanshan people did not resist our entry, and the Shanshan people wherever they went were very cooperative." Fan Jin said that the Han army was collecting food and grass from the southern part of Bailongdui: "We found that Shanshan was splitting up. In the form of tribes and towns."

When the Han army entered the Western Regions, the army directly advanced to the Bailongdui, but there were still small groups of troops scattered out.

Bailongdui is a large area. There are many countries whose borders are part of Bailongdui. This is the case in Shanshan.

The choice of the Western Regions to face the Han army was to clear the walls. Two hundred miles west of Yangguan, no people could be seen. Even if there were towns, there were empty and empty buildings, and the buildings were burned down.

After two hundred miles, the Han army found that they could still find some Shanshan people. When those Shanshan people saw the Han army, they showed many different aspects. They were afraid that they would naturally be there, but they were generally friendly with a period of time. Hope.

"They know that we are here to regain the Western Regions, but they don't know what form we will use to regain it." Fan Jin laughed weirdly before continuing: "There are already nearly ten tribal leaders who want to come over, and they are temporarily appeased. "

"Come here?" Li Kuang was a little confused before reacting, "Is it for the throne of King Shanshan?"

Shanshan is in the midst of a split. If there were powerful figures, Shanshan would have been reunited long ago. It was precisely that Shanshan did not appear a powerful figure that allowed the division of Shanshan to last for decades. They did not have the ability to unify themselves, and no outsider wanted to see a reunified Shanshan, but now it is not a Han Chinese. Yet?

In the past, the Han people used to say that they ruled the Western Regions. It is better to say that the Han rulers of the Western Regions use the kings and leaders of the Western Regions to rule the Western Regions and achieve the steps to control the Western Regions. The Hans did not directly participate in the civil governance of the Western Regions.

To put it bluntly, the way the Han people ruled the Western Regions was to allow the Western Regions to autonomy. The Western Regions provided food and grass for the Han army and paid tribute to the center of the Han Dynasty every year. It's a tribute, not a tax. The method of granting is for the kings and leaders of the Western Regions to dispatch labor to help the Han army stationed in the Western Regions build military facilities or participate in farming work.

"The big man will definitely not follow the old rules." Fan Jin said that he would not leave people like kings and leaders: "What the big man wants in the Western Regions is the system of prefectures and counties."

In the past, it was not that the Han people thought about governing the prefectures and counties in the Western Regions, but they have always been left behind. There are complicated situations in the Western Regions. More often, the Han center felt that the Western Regions were too far away. It was broken, and the cost of sending troops to sweep it was so much that the national treasury could not support it. In the end, it could only be thought of.

The Western Han Dynasty, Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Wei Dynasty, and Western Jin Dynasty were unable to govern counties and counties in the Western Regions. The transfer of troops from the Central Plains to the Western Regions was thousands of miles away. If three or five armies were dispatched, if they wanted to maintain supplies, they would cost at least three to five million shi a month. 70% to 80% of the food in the country is consumed in transit. Even if they are cruel and willing to bear the consumption, they can only get a broken Western Region in the end, or the kind of Western Region that has been rebelling.

"Today is different from the past." Li Kuangyou has a special knowledge of the past, knowing that his ancestors were worried about consumption and rewards: "The big Han must learn from the previous lessons. The facts have proved that if the county is not ruled, the Han will never be able to truly control the Western Regions."

The Han country even fought the Gupta dynasty tens of thousands of miles away. Why would it worry about the Western Regions?

Of course, distance is still an unavoidable trouble, but transportation consumption is nothing at all. Secondly, the current Han nationalism is on the rise, and slave arrest is really addictive. The Central Plains are all broken, and are you afraid of breaking the Western Regions?

"It is precisely because of this that the leaders of the Shanshan tribe were not allowed to come over." Fan Jin always smiled on his face, and the more he smiled, the more reserved: "We will not support a Shanshan king to come out, but Shanshan people can use it."

The name adopted by the Han Kingdom for entering the Western Regions was to regain the Western Regions, but in the eyes of the Western Regions, it was another invasion of the Han.

In fact, the Han people also knew that they were doing an invasion, and no one cared what name they used. What they wanted was military exploits, wealth, and population.

Throughout the long history of history, Zhu Xiahui has given various names to his military operations, and tried his best to avoid using the word "invasion." The word "invasion" was not avoided.

For example, during World War II, the Allied forces launched military operations to land in Europe and France from Britain. Except for the French used the word "liberation", the rest of the allies used the word "invasion." Among them, the U.S. military has really done the "invasion" to the full. It went all out to search wherever it went. Even the parcels sent by ordinary soldiers from Europe to China every month are not enough. The upper level has specifically increased the weight that soldiers can send packages. The soldiers are like that, not to mention the planned robbery by the army. After France was recaptured, the new French government did nothing but protested against the robbery of France by the United States.

During World War II, it was not only France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg...including Germany that protested against Yankee’s evacuation of the country. Anyway, the Yankee army has entered the country. There is no use for eggs.

In contrast to the terms "liberation" and "recovery", the use of "invasion" as the definition of military operations is a practice in any country except Zhu Xia, such as the United States, which has never covered it. The definition of an overseas war is also an "invasion." Whether it is the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Yugoslav War, the Iraq War, or the Afghanistan War, they are all directly defined as an "invasion". The difference is that the "invasion" category will be divided into Anti-terrorism invasion, rescue hostage invasion... and many other titles.

Zhu Xia is a relatively subtle nation, even if it is overbearing, it will be quite subtle. For example, the Western Han Dynasty named a distant country "Da Xia", which means that you must re-accept the fellows into the big family and the place where the Han army crossed the border. Of course, Lido wanted a piece of "sacred grace in bathing together", and that process has been invading all the time.

After the Western Han Dynasty, a new trick was played out. The tributary system was created on the basis of the Western Han Dynasty. The Central Plains dynasty canonized a country's king or tribal chief official position, which means that the country and tribe has entered the Zhuxia system. Then they are all under the same banner. No matter what is going on, it is a "family affair." Even if a certain country or tribe is wiped out, it is also a housework. No one should come to talk about Zhuxia's housework.

What if a certain country or tribe is unwilling to accept official canonization? Of course, there is nothing more to say. From the emperor to the common people, they will feel that those guys are too stubborn, and they must be completely wiped out from the spirit.

Liu Yan also pays attention to compromise strategies internally, and never intends to conceal anything externally. He has such a mentality and thoughts, and he is indeed taking action. He’s all like this, and the people below don’t have to consume brain cells. They don’t have to find a name for one war after another. Anyway, whoever is going to do it must be done directly. If you die, come back and think about why. Want to do it.

"Of course you can't express your attitude directly." Fan Jin smiled cheerfully: "The illusion of hope that should be given is still necessary."

The Han people in the Western Regions need to lead the party, and in many ways, they also need to have various cooperation from the Western Regions.

"How to use Shanshan people will be hosted by you." Li Kuangcai was unwilling to spend his energy on those complicated things, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Be careful...well...", without saying anything later.

What Fan Jin understands is nothing more than a little face. There will never be any promises that fall into the text. If you want to deceive, you still have to deceive. He got out of the military account and asked "Who is Varug?" When he got a response, he beckoned, and then left with someone.

Chi Zhelu didn't dare to move even when he stood outside the account, and he remained still for nearly an hour. He watched Varug being led away by a scribe, and kept looking at the closed curtain with complicated eyes, with expectation and anxiety in it.

The five thousand coalition forces from the Western Regions brought by Rorschach did not have a serious battle with the Han army, and left most of them, only less than a thousand people broke through.

Behind Chi Zhelu, he saw the Han army deal with the battlefield with his own eyes, and also saw the Han army converging on the death robe. There is no intuitive impression of how many people from the Western Regions died. The Han army’s converged corpses will definitely not exceed a hundred.

The defeat of the coalition forces is naturally due to the Chizheruma thieves and the Shanshan people, but Chizheru really didn't think his contribution was much. He inquired about some news afterwards. The Yuli people were defeated in the first battle, and the Shule people only insisted on a round of assault. The Sogdians did not even flee directly when they resisted. The Kucha and Di people escaped relatively late and were pursued all the way. , The rest of the horse thieves are simply fighting back.

The coalition was defeated too miserably and embarrassed, so Chi Zhelu had enough knowledge that even if they did not rebel, the Han army would take a little more effort at best. There is no suspense about the victory or defeat of the war. How can I dare to praise it? What work?

"Go in."

"what?"

"Lang Jiang summoned, go in!"

"Ok...no, yes, promise!"

Of course Chi Zhelu was nervous. After standing for a long time, his legs became numb and his walking posture became very strange. He hadn't dared to raise his head since he got in, and after walking in for a few steps, he knelt down, lying motionless on the ground.

"You said your name is Bo Liu?" Li Kuang was dealing with official duties. He didn't stop writing and didn't raise his head. "Is Bo's rank in the family, or his name?"

Chi Zhelu did have another name called Uncle Liu, but it didn't work for a long time. He first stood upright and bowed down again, and replied respectfully: "The boss of the villain's family is based on the customs of the Han family."

That "Bo" is the ranking, not the name.

In addition, Li Kuang asked very professionally, asking for "name" without saying "name". Just because you are now asking what a person's name is, if you use a "name", you are asking "name" and "listed characters". The respondent should not only answer the "name" but also introduce his own "listed characters".

Li Kuang then looked up at Chi Zhelu. He saw Chi Zhelu's curly hair. When he raised his head, he saw a face that was not so different from the Han, but it was rough and had a lot of beard.

"The villain's grandfather is a Han." Chi Zhelu respectfully said: "Grandfather is a member of the army."

grandfather? That was at least a hundred years ago. It was supposed to be the period when the three kingdoms were coexisted. If they could leave Northern Xinjiang, there would be nothing but Cao Wei. At that time, no one dared to say that they were not Han, whether it was Cao Wei, Shuhan or Dongwu. No matter which team went out to fight, the foreign race was regarded as the Han army.

"Since you are a Han, stand up." Li Kuang smiled rarely, and he didn't pay enough attention to it. It was impossible to find out: "You speak Chinese very well, you have a Western Liang accent. Did you grow up in Xiliang since childhood?"

Chi Zhelu didn't dare to hide that Chinese was indeed learned from Xiliang, but he didn't grow up in Xiliang. He is a person who has no fixed place. He speaks Chinese with a Western Liang accent. There are many Western Liang people in the horse thieves team...or it should be said that they are from Zhang's Liang Country.

"Oh..." Li Kuang said to a person next to him: "Since that team has Northwesterners, let me check it out. If there is a military exploit, record it."

Chi Zhelu was stunned obviously, still stunned before turning the corner, stunned to understand what was going on. He didn't dare to prevent the Han army from annexing his horse thieves. He was very envious that those from the northwest would be counted for military exploits.

"Dahan regains the Western Regions, and welcomes those with aspirations and talents to serve." Li Kuangcai, regardless of what Chi Zhelu is thinking, asked: "Since you have been running the Western Regions all the year round, you know the terrain and mountains and rivers. Since you are descended from the Han family, you are willing to serve the country. ?"

"Yes, the villain is naturally willing!" Chi Zhelu...Uh, no, there will be only Uncle Liu from now on, there will be no Chi Zhelu. He bowed down again, full of joy: "Serving the emperor and volunteering all his life for the villain~www.wuxiamtl.com~May the liver and brain be smeared!"

Li Kuang nodded with a smile and waved his hand to let Uncle Liu go out. When Uncle Liu walked to the curtain, he said: "It's a Han family man, and he's also going to record his military merits."

Uncle Liu stopped, turned around and bowed to Li Kuang, thanking him with great gratitude, and then walked out.

Li Kuang watched the disappearance of Uncle Liu before moving his gaze back to the case. He doesn't really care if Liu Bo has Han ancestry. The first thing he cares about is the knowledge of the horse thief Liu Bo on the Western Regions, and then it is Liu Bo who is fluent in Chinese. It is necessary to include similar people, at least. The thing is that it can be used even if it is looking for a water source.

Han is not a country that divides ethnic groups by blood. If you really want to do that, how to confirm blood is a big problem. There is no basis for how to identify it. You can only look at the general appearance and then integrate culture.

"Integration still needs to be integrated..." Li Kuang put down his pen and looked at the top of the tent: "As long as the looks are not that strange, they are all objects that can be integrated. It is enough to target those ethnic groups that look different from the Han people."

At present, even if the Han people want to make cannon fodder, not everyone can be cannon fodder...
