Sweep the World

In Guanzhong in late autumn, the rain that should have rained in previous years did not fall, and the weather did not seem to snow at all.

In the northwestern Guanzhong area, the dry and cracked land has become more and more serious, especially in some plains where the drought is the most serious.

"The lower reaches of the weak water dries up." What Ji Chang holds in his hand is a report gathered from the northwest. The weak water he referred to is a large tributary extending from this large lake in Juyanze: "The lower reaches of the weak water dries up. The rivers and streams that went out turned into dry riverbeds."

Juyanze is composed of two lakes. The lake in the north is larger and the lake in the south is smaller. They have existed since the Han people did not set foot on this land. During the Xiongnu period, they were used as Xiutu, Baiyang, and Hunxie. Common grazing area.

It has not rained for a long time, and the amount of snowfall in two years is very small. The northwest itself is a plateau. Anyone who knows geography should understand that the groundwater in the plateau has always been insufficient, and there is no sufficient rainfall and water. It is evaporated again, and once there is a shortage of water, it must be a large-scale disaster.

There are two large lakes and one small lake in the northwest.

The two large lakes are Juyanze and Mingze respectively. They maintain the two large river systems of Weak Water and Mingshui respectively. At the same time, Weak Water and Mingshui extend a number of tributaries, which can be regarded as providing water for the northwest. , Especially for the irrigation system has a pivotal importance.

The small lake does not have a serious name. It has been called an oasis for a long time, that is, a lake in the north of Yumen Pass. To the north of Yumen Pass, there is a Gobi environment. The lake is dozens of miles ahead. It is a desert, and it is excusable for the locals to name it an oasis.

In the absence of sufficient rainfall, the water levels of Juyanze, Mingze and Oasis are all falling rapidly, and the linkage is that the river bed that depends on the lake for water supply has decreased. There is not enough water supply in the upper reaches, and the riverbed must be bottomed in the lower reaches. People in the lower reaches may not lack water.

In the tenth year of Yuanshuo (AD 351), the drought in the northwest became more and more serious. Guanzhong and Guandong also showed signs of drought. The most urgent thing in Han was to deal with the inevitable natural disasters, and the inevitable after the drought. There will be a plague of locusts.

"We are widely staffed, and we have not found any signs of locust activity." Ji Chang said that the locust detection was in the direction of the grassland. Now that the drought has broken out in the northwest, the ravages of locusts will inevitably occur: "No one can figure out why it suddenly happened. A large number of locusts appeared."

The locusts tend to be flooded and plunging. The plagues of locusts are often accompanied by severe droughts and migrate in groups from arid areas to low-lying areas prone to waterlogging. There are so-called "locusts in the extreme drought" and "locusts in long-term droughts". But no one really knows whether there were so many locusts in the first place, or that they suddenly appeared after the drought.

"I have ordered someone to collect the locusts." Cai You was a little sad. His dignified Zhisu Neishi actually presided over the research on how to eat locusts: "Fried can indeed be eaten, and it is indeed a delicious taste to eat it."

Eat bugs? It was not that Zhu Xia had never had a hobby of eating insects. For example, silkworms were regarded as a kind of food at the beginning, or the role of silkworms was discovered later that silkworms avoided the fate of going to the table.

Insect-eating in the southwest has developed more diversity. Guangzhou, Jiaozhou, and Ningzhou have also developed a new food culture. Not to mention eating insects, it seems that there is no food that the locals dare not eat.

Ji Chang belongs to a member who has eaten deep-fried locusts. His thoughts and concepts made him disgusting when eating. Psychological rejection dispelled his taste buds. When he thought of eating locusts, he couldn't find it delicious.

Cai You is also extremely repulsive of eating insects. He knows what the situation is when he sees the faces of his colleagues present. He subconsciously covers his mouth and swallows his saliva before continuing to say: "The mill has been studied, although the taste is not very good. , But let’s say it’s locust powder, no one will know what it is."

"Cough cough..." Sang Yu's face was normal, but he coughed twice and showed his true inner thoughts: "Your Majesty has said that this thing contains a lot of protein and is a nutritious thing."

"We are ready. Once we find locusts raging, we will hunt them in large numbers." Cai You subconsciously looked around and then went on to say: "After the locusts are killed, they will grind and provide them to the army."

Cai You will subconsciously take a look, confirming that no military personnel are present, for fear of being beaten up.

"At the time, the army was dispatched, and then purchased from the private sector..., dealt with and then provided with the army." Sang Yu laughed a few times with a'ha ha': "Good governance, great governance."

The gloomy Ji Chang had a smile on his face. He really didn't have the thought of studying the nutrition of locust powder, as long as he had a countermeasure.

In response to the drought that erupted in the northwest, the central government of Han Dynasty organized manpower to go to the Western Regions, and added a way out of the grassland behind.

It was because the grassland was included in the natural disaster stop zone that Ran Min led his army out of the grassland to invade the West High Car. The grassland was extremely empty and barren, and the tribes that should be wiped out were all over. It’s really nothing for people to go to the grassland. It's easy to grab.

There are no hostile tribes on the grassland. Even if someone is grazing, it is an official pasture. Is it because you go to the grassland to dig grass roots to eat?

The drought plagued the center of the Han State, and Xie An sent back a good news, but it did not attract much attention. The leaders of the center, including Liu Yan, were all overwhelmed by the disaster. There really was no extra energy to focus on fighting in the Western Regions.

"Open Yemo (Xihai) again?" Sang Yu said with a tired voice: "There is a large plain over there. There is a big lake called Yemo. The drought around it is not that serious. Yemo is close to the plateau, and it has been without people for a long time. There are many wild beasts in the wilderness, and then it will be rich in material."

Yemo does not belong to the territory of the northwest, but belongs to the territory of Tuyuhun.

Tuyuhun is now called Tuhun, and it was founded in 313 AD and was established by a branch of Murong Xianbei in eastern Liaoning. The reason why this group of Murong Xianbei ran from Liaodong to build the country under the plateau was because they were defeated in the Murong Civil War. The country was named Tuyuhun because the first generation of the country was named Murong Tuyuhun.

When Murong Tuyuhun established the country, the name of the country was actually not Tuyuhun, and he was not King Tuyuhun himself. After all, Tuyuhun is the name of the lord of the country, so how can he use his own name to name the throne? His first king was the king of Henan.

Some time ago, Xie An led his army into Xiqiang Mountain. Xiqiang Mountain is in the southeast of Tuyuhun. The strange thing is that Tuyuhun did not move from beginning to end. He neither sent troops to fight with the Han army nor helped Di, who had retreated from the Central Plains. And Qiang remnants. It was not until Xie An solved the remnants that Tuyuhun sent an envoy to Han.

The current leader of Tuyuhun is Ye Yan, and his father is Tuyan. He is the grandson of Murong Tuyuhun. During the Murong Tuyuhun and Tuyan periods, they both adopted the name of the King of Henan. It was only in Ye Yan that they were officially called the King of Tuyuhun.

Ye Yan, the third generation, is now very old, basically nine out of ten stepped into the tomb, and it was precisely in this way that he did not respond in time to the approach of the Han army. Ye Yan was actually seriously ill during the period when he sent an envoy to Han, and the country was handed over to the eldest son Xie Xi to manage.

The Han country has already contacted the Tuyuhun envoy, and the official name given by the Tuyuhun side is self-proclaimed Mukguo, the king of the country, the king of Henan. Han Guo also found that their Chinese spoken very well, and the characters they used were also Chinese characters. Even some etiquettes were no different from those of Zhu Xia. The only difference was dressing.

Since Zhu Xia's Zhou room, no matter what changes appear in his clothes, it will not be the clothes with the left cardigan anyway, it will always be the clothes with the right cardigan. This design of clothes will become part of the distinction between Hua and Yi later on.

Of course, the country name of the country of Mu Ke is fake. In Ye Yan's time, this branch of Murong had already adopted the official country name, which was the name of Tuyuhun of the grandfather of contemporary country lord Ye Yan, and the name of the king was also changed.

Tuyuhun not only reported the fake country name, but also concealed his origin. Even though he was stupid, he still used the title of Henan Wang. At first, Han thought it was some inexplicable country, so I found out some clues from the king of Henan.

Murong Tuyuhun's Henan king title was not self-appointed, but was conferred by the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty gave Hu people a lot of canonizations. For example, Murong was named King of Yan, Shi Hu was named King of Zhao, and Li Shi was named King of Shu.

It would happen that although the Sima family lost the Central Plains, the prosperity of the Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms still left a certain amount of deterrence to the Hu people. In the beginning, even though the Hu people put the Jin country of the Sima family on the ground and beat them, they still recognized the status of the Sima family as Zhengshuo. After Murong did not bird the small Eastern Jin imperial court, the Hu people didn't like the small Eastern Jin imperial court very much.

When Lu Yi learned that Tuyuhun had used a fake country name as an envoy, he was furious and wanted to imprison him, and indeed the people of Tuyuhun were imprisoned. Currently, those people are still eating in prison, and there is not even one person to report the letter.

Tuyuhun's behavior is currently an abnormally bad deception, severe enough for Han to launch a war of annihilation in its righteousness, but isn't the Han country currently being upset by natural disasters?

At the same time, there are many ongoing wars in Han. The biggest war overseas is with the Gupta dynasty. The northeast side is also cleaning up Tuoba, the remnant Murong remnant and the Donggaoche, and the west is regaining the Western Regions.

The obvious thing is that no matter how aggressive Liu Yan is, there are so many ongoing wars, coupled with the natural disasters that have already erupted, how can we relax a little, really can't fight Tuguhun with much fanfare.

Since it is impossible to launch a war of annihilation against Tuyuhun, it is necessary to be deceived improperly. Otherwise, where is the dignity of the country? Sang Yu suggested that Ye Mo should also be regarded as a place to stop natural disasters, which is a means to deceive Han country against Tuyuhun.

"Have you considered their reaction?" Ji Chang has nothing to object to revenge on Tuyuhun, which is an extreme political correctness. What he needs to care about is what will happen to the Han people after they pass: "Yemo is indeed a fertile land, and it is so that there must be many tribes inhabiting."

Sang Yu laughed softly: "Li Kuang led his troops into the Western Regions and encountered repeated victories by the coalition forces of various countries. The Han Chinese who are also armed are young and strong, and there is no reason that the savages can contend."

The central side did not pay much attention to the war in the Western Regions, that is, only a standing army of Li Kuang's division and 50,000 armed young men could easily take care of the Western Region Allied Forces, and Xie An did not effortlessly wipe out the Western Region Allied Forces as soon as he arrived.

The troops going to the Western Regions fought so smoothly, how could the center pay attention to it? Associated with it is to generate a kind of self-confidence that "the man is indeed invincible in the world", and feel that it is necessary to consider the cost of who wants to clean up, and there is no need to worry about the problem of winning.

"That's the case." This time Lv Yi put aside the differences between the North and the South, choosing to echo Sang Yu's words: "His people are fugitives, mixed with all the Qiang countries. Most of their tribes are scattered and nomadic inhabit. The Yemo Plain is rich in water and grass. There must be a large number of livestock."

The land currently occupied by Tuyuhun is Qing 1 Sea, which is second only to Hetao, a land of fertile aquatic plants, and an extremely suitable place for grazing.

This tribe of Murong Xianbei, when they migrated, there were only a few thousand people. In the past few decades, they have increased to hundreds of thousands. In addition to the annexation of some Qiang tribes, they live on high-quality sites that can provide stable Food sources are one of the factors contributing to the rapid population growth~www.wuxiamtl.com~Han is currently not short of horse breeding bases. If the Great Plain of Qing 1hai was discovered in the Western Han Dynasty, it would definitely not be taken down without thinking about it. Exhausted blood and national energy to fight with the Huns to grab the pasture.

In the following dynasties, as long as they knew the existence of the Qing 1hai Great Plain, they basically tried their best to control it, and no one dared to easily lose this high-quality horse-producing area.

"Since Zishen agrees with what he said..." Ji Chang sighed helplessly before continuing: "I wait for the three of them to jointly report to the emperor."

The housekeeper in Han is not easy to be a steward. There are constant wars all year round. Production is basically consumed in all kinds of wars. Ji Chang, who is forty-one this year, should be a mature man. His temples are already pale and he looks like fifty. People believe in many years old.

"The Prime Minister." Sang Yu still respects Ji Chang. He said softly: "The grasslands are barren and there is no access. Only the Western Regions are not enough to stop losses, and the addition of wildness is a good governance."

Why didn't Ji Chang know that giving the people one more way out was good governance? But he had to consider Tuyuhun's reaction, and he also believed that Tuyuhun must be a nationwide resistance.

In the final analysis, the Han people went to Yemo with the purpose of robbery, and it was bound to make Yemo a war-torn Asura land. There was no reason why the Tuyuhun would not resist being robbed.

Tuyuhun rebelled so much, and Han had another front line. The dispatch of a standing army became an inevitable response. All the resources that were already in short supply had to be tilted over. Can Ji Chang helpless?

"A big man is like the sun, no one can be the edge." Lu Yi also advised Ji Chang: "The prime minister and be relieved. Fighting to support the war will only increase the income."

Even though Ji Chang had a thousand words, he could only turn into: "I hope so."
