Chapter 558

What is the country? Different classes have different understandings.

For the people, the country is the land and sky where they live, their families and others they can see and contact.

For the ruling class, the country is still the land and sky, but next is the mountains and rivers, and the people they need to manage.

The country in the eyes of the king is the country, how many people, how much force can be gathered when you want to invade other countries, and how much combat power can be recruited when you need self-protection.

The state is a refuge for all. In a way, the collective state is not fair to everyone. Some people pay too much and fail to get the due return. Some people can begin to enjoy dividends at birth, but in any case, the weakness of the country will not be good for anyone in the country.

The individual needs the collective, which will inevitably produce managers. Even if it is simply for the continuation of the race, the creatures of any ethnic group are no exception. As intelligent human beings, the collective is not only to ensure the continuation of the race, but also to compete for greater living space.

"Forward, forward!"

Wilderness, a very vast wilderness. In the hot summer, there are long dragons gathered by people walking on the earth. Their positions may be different, but the direction of their journey is to the north.

The long dragon is organized by soldiers. They go north to participate in the national war and become participants in one world war after another. Some people will make profits on the battlefield and get a lot of benefits from military achievements. Others will become corpses and then turn into ashes and be sent to the Yingling hall.

The banners are fluttering in the wind, and the flag surface with gold characters on a red background is one after another. The soldiers under the banner come from all over the world. Some of them come from counties and counties. Many of them were ordered to assemble as field soldiers before. After pulling out, they have been merging, from a small number to a large scale.

"Did the king sign it?"

"Yes, after two years, the king enlisted again."

It is not forbidden to talk during the March. After all, the journey is too far. As long as the team is not disorderly, chatting can actually relieve their fatigue. What they don't know is that Liu Yan is actually on the mountain not far away.

The scale of the war this year will be very large. Liu Yan did enlist again, but he did not go to Yanmen. He went north to Jizhou to personally preside over the war against Murong Yan state.

At this moment, Liu Yan stood on the top of the mountain and looked at his soldiers. Even standing on the top of the mountain, the long dragons could not have a panoramic view of the head and tail. It can be seen that the scale of the army going north is huge.

The war against Shijie Zhao will still be commanded by ran min, including the war against Tuoba Dai. Some troops supporting ran min have arrived, and many are on their way.

The Dingxiang campaign was still going on. Li Tan led the army to besiege all sides. Ran min entered Yanmen county. Xie AI pursued the people who fled to the northwest, and Xie an went to Guanzhong urgently.

The Guanzhong battlefield is the most fiercely fought area at present. Zhong Xing, the capital of Qinzhou, faced the coalition forces of Zhang Chonghua and Fu Hong with a small number of troops. Longxi County and Longdong county were successively lost. After the battle between the coalition forces and the Han Army in Pingxiang, Zhong Xing lost the enemy, and the coalition forces retreated to Xinyang on the edge of the Weishui river. At present, he relies on the support of the water army to maintain the stalemate.

"Xie Zhonglang will bring 30000 troops, reinforcements from Shu and Yuzhou... The riots in Shu are getting worse and worse. I'm afraid it will be difficult to get away for a while and a half, but there are too few reinforcements from Yuzhou." Xu Zheng was also on the top of the mountain. He stood behind Liu Yan: "Longxi County and Longdong county are the only two big Han regions that were lost after the restoration of the Han Dynasty."

It seems that it's really the same thing. Liu Yan established a great Han again. Today's Han country can't be called an empire, but there have been no examples of gains and losses since the founding of the people's Republic of China. Due to the negligence of the Han country... Or arrogance, he didn't pay attention to the trend of Zhang's cool country, which can be regarded as a bad result.

Xie an has sent a document to the Central Committee to roughly talk about his views on the war in Guanzhong. He has made a battle plan according to his troops at hand and does not recommend an immediate counter offensive. He wants to keep the war in Qinzhou.

For the Han state, the most important battlefields now are Yanmen and Shuozhou. If you insist on a sequence, Guanzhong can only be said to be at the bottom.

Shi Xuan has fled into Shuozhou. If you give Shi Xuan more time, it will take more effort to solve it in the future. Even without Shi Xuan, the Han army should take advantage of Shi Hu's trapped and the recent effect to destroy Shi Jie Zhao.

Shi bin went to Yanmen. After being blocked by the Han army for many times, he fled into the mountains (Wutai Mountain) northeast of Dingxiang. Now the two sides are chasing me around the mountains. Li Kuang's office in charge of chasing has repeatedly compressed the scope of activities of Shi Bin's disabled army. According to the prediction, there will be results within half a month at the fastest.

Ran min personally led the army to Yanmen to deal with the Tuoba generation army personally commanded by Tuoba Shi Yijian. Before ran min arrived, the Tuoba generation army had killed Guangwu city. The Han army forced the Tuoba generation army to retreat near Mayi. At this moment, the two sides are constantly fighting around the flat terrain around Mayi.

The battlefield of Han is not only on the National Battlefield everywhere.

There were a series of riots in the area of Li's Chenghan, which was destroyed not long ago, mainly Qiang people, Di people and Ba people, and even Han people participated in it. Instead of attacking some cities, they constantly attacked villages inhabited by Han people, and relied on continuous mountainous areas to fight against the Han army who came to encircle and suppress them.

There are many mountains in Shu. It took less than a year for the Han Army to destroy Li's family. The main reason is to control some cities. There is little control over the deep mountains and forests. However, a large number of indigenous people have lived in the mountains of Shu since ancient times. It has been nominal management since the Qin Empire. In fact, any previous dynasty could not collect taxes, recruit soldiers and accept taxes.

After the state of Han destroyed Li and became Han, it took a considerable scale of continuous cleaning up, but only forced those who did not accept the rule to move towards deeper mountains and forests, and failed to eliminate or bring them into the rule. Before that, there was a voice in the center, which was to use the strategy of the early Han Dynasty to canonize local indigenous chiefs as officials and nominally bring those people into rule, but the military did not accept this opinion.

Not only the chaos in Shu, but also the opposition forces that had been dormant in the dark in the south of the Yangtze River also made trouble one after another. The most intolerable thing for the Han state is the emergence of another emperor of Sima family in Cangwu County of guang1 Prefecture.

The state of Han could not confirm whether the emperor in Guangxin City, Cangwu County really had the blood of Sima family, but whether he was a serious Sima family's children and grandchildren was not important to the state of Han. Even if someone borrowed his name, they could achieve their desired purpose. With his name, they could gather forces against the rule of the state of Han and make organized resistance south of the Yangtze River.

It is undisguised that the too rapid expansion of the Han state is already showing a weak side. In the past few years, the Han state has changed from having nothing to restoring 67 / 10 of the old land of the Han family. The territory has increased again and again, but the actual control power is weak and strong. The more the land occupied later, the weaker the control power is.

In fact, what the state of Han is facing now is similar to that of the Qin Empire. Although the enemy country was destroyed, some people in those enemy countries have not been eliminated. The enemy is counterattack all the time, but they have not been surrounded and killed with all their strength.

To destroy a country, it takes at least a generation to digest and then continue to expand. This is the most appropriate way. The former first emperor can't wait. Liu Yan also doesn't have so much patience. The difference is that the collapse of the Qin Empire was after the death of the first emperor, but those people who are still alive jumped out.

"Riots everywhere are scabies." Liu Yan really didn't feel how big it was. He took his eyes back from a distance, turned to look at Xu Zheng and said, "if you can't kill them in a year, you can't do it for a few years until you kill them all."

In those places where riots occurred, the soldiers of counties and counties were not transferred to participate in the national war, and the newly recruited soldiers were also compiled and trained on the spot and then put into suppression. The state of Han was established by defeating the Hu people, not usurping the throne and seizing the country from its compatriots. The state of Han has always been at war with the Hu people, both in terms of righteousness and national feelings, unless it is not of Han and Miao origin, Otherwise, it is not necessary for the people to resist the rule of the Han state.

Liu Yan actually took it for granted that those foreigners resisted the Han state, just because the Han state really didn't leave a way for them.

The riots in the South looked very noisy, and a small court was set up in Guangxin. However, all signs showed that only those aristocratic families who did not submit were jumping, and only a very small number of people would be involved. ZhuYue and Zhuman responded warmly.

"Chen has always believed in the idea that non-human beings must be killed." Xu Zheng squeezed the hilt of his sword and said murderously, "is it the king's land in the world or the king's minister who leads the land?"

The sentence behind Xu Zheng comes from the book of songs. Xiaoya. What the valley wind is. Beishan. However, the interpretation of the book of songs is one thing, and what he said is another thing. In a simple way, it can be understood as: if you are not your own person, you should die.

Liu Yan asked the guard to mount the horse and turned over quickly.

Their current location is near Anguo City in Boling County, which is at the border of Gaoyang County. To the north of Gaoyang County is Youzhou.

The Queen's hometown is in Boling county. After Liu Yan came, he did not go to Cui's side. Instead, Cui's patriarch brought people to meet him. Liu Yan only met his father-in-law and included several heroes of Cui's people.

At present, Murong Yan country is still quiet. It has shrunk since the failure of the last eastward advance. After the Han Army in Jizhou launched an attack on Youzhou, Murong Yan army is only the defenders of various cities, and the front has been pushed to Zhuoxian by the Han army.

"The military strength of the Hussars shogunate was expanded to 300000 without a top." Liu Yan pinched his horse's belly with his legs, and the horse slowly stepped on its hooves: "I believe the Hussars general will give a satisfactory answer in the end."

There were not many troops on the top of the mountain. As soon as Liu Yan moved, the king's flag embroidered with black birds was erected.

Why not a dragon totem? Whether in the Western or Eastern Han Dynasty, the Royal totem was Xuanniao, which was a continuation of the state of Chu in the Warring States period.

In addition, most of the main totems of ancient and Pre-Qin countries were birds, and the original dragon totem came from the state of Wu, However, the dragon totem of the state of Wu is actually only a foot Dragon (more like a quadruped snake). All this is only because the Buddhist 1 religion has not been transmitted in this period. Some images of ox head, antler, fish scale, snake body, eagle claw and goldfish tail dragon in Buddhism have not appeared. The dragon image has not been integrated into those Buddhist treasures. It is also the dragon, Kui dragon and Ying dragon in the pre-Qin period.

Only when Taoism began to appear in the Western Han Dynasty did it pay attention to the "four spirits", that is, the green dragon, the white tiger, the rosefinch and the Xuanwu. It focused on the green dragon as a symbol of imperial power, but the dragon pattern in this period was not complete, and the royal family was also a xuanbird totem.

The dragon totem has a long process. The dragon pattern in the primitive period is really quite primitive. The dragon pattern in the Shang and Zhou Dynasties was really formed. The spring and autumn and Warring States periods repeatedly "processed" the dragon pattern totem to a new peak. The real finalization period of the dragon pattern shape was in the Han Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty evolved the dragon pattern totem into a perfect and mature state, The song and Yuan dynasties developed the dragon pattern totem to a new milestone.

The Dragon represents the emperor from the Ming Dynasty, wearing the "Dragon Robe", wearing the "dragon crown", sitting in the "dragon seat" and living in the "Dragon Court". The use of "dragon ware" began with the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, that is, the Dragon really began to be tall in this period, and then the Tungus wild boar skin "inherited the Ming system" to further carry forward.

It seemed that the dragon's artistic conception and glory could not satisfy the boar skin emperor, and made a perfect joke. Then the perfect old man spent the savings of previous emperors in the south again and again. Not long after his son succeeded to the throne and faced the invasion of Western powers, he couldn't even collect military expenses.

Liu Yan is an understanding person. Of course, the dragon is very important, but the unique "I Qing" made the Dragon into a flag representing the country. He really doesn't have the courage to imitate. Moreover, since he established the Han state, he should use Xuanniao.

The king's flag appeared on the top of the mountain, and the cheers broke out from near to far. That was to see the army of the king's flag shouting.

Huang Deyi was one of the cheers. Like all robes, he looked at the king's flag in the distance. It was the supreme of the country. In addition, he believed that he would lead them from one victory to another.

The cry was "Wansheng". After a long cry, the military song was sung.

"A man should kill without mercy. His immortal career lies in killing. Once upon a time, there was a noble man with great loyalty. Jain killed immediately, and his body is lighter than a feather..."

"... kill one person in three steps, and the heart stops. The blood flows thousands of miles, and the corpse sleeps thousands of mountains. After the war, the strong man sleeps the enemy's corpse. He still kills people in his dream, and the smile nightmare reflects the spring light

"Don't ask. A man has his own business."

"When a man does something, he should be violent. Things and benevolence do not stand together."

"A man's business is in the killing field. He is as brave as a bear and gives up as a wolf. If he is a man, he will kill. He doesn't teach men to wrap their bodies around women's hearts. A man never sympathizes with his body. Even if he dies, his enemies smile. There are 100 battlefields in the revenge field, and he is willing to be green with wild grass everywhere..."

Rolling sound waves, sweeping north!
