175 Dogwood Toth

An Xuan, a merchant from Anxu, was a famous merchant on the Silk Road. He often traveled with a large caravan to travel around the country, crossing mountains and ridges to pass through the pass, and asked for the heroes from all walks of life to take care of him. Therefore, he had a close relationship with all the heroes. Before the kingdom and Song Jian and others made an appointment, they often had contacts with An Xuan. Last time, An Xuan went from the Western Regions to Chang'an. When the war broke out in the Western Liang Dynasty, he reported the title of the general, and was taken to the kingdom to face him. During the chat, he heard that the famous man Yan Zhong was lying in bed, and his life was hung on a thread. So he asked the kingdom to allow him to lead the witches of the Western Regions to try.

Sure enough, the medicine cured the disease.

The name of An Xuan was known to all generals.

"I am An Xuan, pay homage to the general." Although An Xuan had a high nose and deep eyes, his face was strange. His every move was no different from that of the Han people.

"Please get up quickly, Han's martial arts man, dare not be called a general." The words were said without leaking.

An Xuan got up and sat down.

"What's the matter if I don't know how to come here late at night?" Han Sui asked.

An Xuan smiled and replied: "I arrived in Luoyang in the previous episode and sold Western Regions products in Jin Market, and met a woman who knew I could travel to Hexi, so I asked me to bring something to the general and send my thoughts from afar."

After saying that, An Xuan took out a small lacquered wooden box from his sleeve and presented it to Han Sui.

Han Sui took it with both hands and opened it without rushing: "Who has entrusted it?"

"It's the general's female son." An Xuan replied.

It turned out that King Ji personally came to propose marriage to Yan Xing, and later moved to Luoyang to Han Sui's eldest daughter.

Han Sui hurriedly opened the wooden box. There was no letter in the box, only a sachet. The sachet smelled so strong that it was the smell of dogwood.

"On September 9th, wearing dogwood, eating bait, drinking chrysanthemum wine, the clouds make people live longer."

Wearing dogwood is one of the customs of the year. On September 9th, the Double Ninth Festival, you climb mountains and climb high, and wear a bag containing dogwood on your arms, which is called "dogwood sac".

Everything is right, and the meaning is also right. The question is, it is only mid-May, and there are still several months before September 9th. Is it too early to send the "Dognus Pork"?

Han Sui was puzzled and couldn't help asking, "Does my little girl have something to say?"

"Madam didn't bring any words." An Xuan replied with a smile.

"This..." Han Sui's disappointment was obvious. His son-in-law Yan Xing was the trusted person of the Han general. He knew that I was coerced and had no choice but to follow the thief. He would definitely make suggestions and explain them on his behalf. The general knew everything about the inside story and would definitely make a fuss and surrender to me.

An Xuan should have a letter from the general when he comes here. He promises me that he is a high-ranking official and has a generous salary, so he will secretly surrender. Why is there only one sachet?

"The things have been delivered, An Xuan said goodbye." After saying that, An Xuan stood up.

"Oh, walk slowly." Han Sui hurriedly got up and saw him.

"General stayed." An Xuan bowed again.

Seeing An Xuan leave, Han Sui closed the door, took the sachet in his hand, and looked carefully. He wanted to tell me how it was different from ordinary sachets. This sachet was tied tightly at both ends. Untie a ribbon, and the dogwood fruit poured out. Then, the bag was empty. After carefully checking each dogwood, it was no different.

This is indeed a very ordinary dogwood sac.

His eyes moved from the cornel fruits scattered on the desk to the empty sachet hanging in the wooden box. Han Sui's heart moved, and he took the sachet with his hand. He looked inside and outside, and there was nothing unusual. He subconsciously untied the ribbon on the other end. The sachet completely became a cloth tube with both ends.

What is the deep meaning of this thing?

Han Sui thought hard under the lamp, but couldn't understand it.

Han Sui was not the only one who had not been asleep all night.

The kingdom of the Generals of the Union has been elected as the leader by the crowd. Before he had been glorious for several days, he heard that the three armies were approaching the border, so he was worried. The so-called capturing the thief and king, King Ji has always eliminated the evils and obeyed the crowd. How could the kingdom not know?

The back of the neck becomes cold day and night, and the kingdom knows the pain.

"Report to the general, the military advisor asked for a visit." As he tossed and turned, he suddenly heard the guards outside the dormitory report.

Wang Guo suddenly sat up: "Please come to the hall to meet you."

"Here."

"Meet the General." Yan Zhong entered the hall to salute.

"No gifts and no gifts." The kingdom hastily washed and put on his clothes and rushed to meet him: "The military advisor comes to see him late at night, what's the point?"

"Report to the general. He came to Beigong Boyu, Li Wenhou, and two generals." Yan Zhong replied.

"What are the two generals?" Wang Guo was stunned.

Yan Zhong whispered: "I'll report it carefully. The two generals Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou preached the doctrine of peace in the army and attracted the believers. I wonder if this matter, did the general know?"

Wang Guo nodded: "I will not hide it from the military advisor, Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou are the commander of the Yellow Turban Qu."

"So that's it." Yan Zhong thought for a while, then realized: "Does the general want to use the power of the two to form the Yellow Turbans in the east?"

"That's right." Wang Guo was about to say something but stopped. When he met Yan Zhong's eyes, he suddenly realized. Since he regarded him as a confidant, he should not hide it. This revealed his interests: "This time, he made a lot of money to make thirty-six Qiangqu, which was the hands of two generals."

"So that's it." Yan Zhong asked again: "In this way, are Beigong and General Li the mastermind behind it?"

"Yes." The kingdom nodded.

Yan Zhong asked again: "Since that's the case, why don't the two of them set up their own business and instead elect a general?"

Wang Guo smiled proudly: "The military advisors don't know what they know. What the Qiang people believe is the gods of their clan. They don't believe in Huang Lao's art. Although the two of them have a lot of money to make the thirty-six Qiang Canals, the Qiang people are unwilling to equip the banner of Taiping Yellow Turbans. So the two of them settled for the second best and listed me as the main one."

Yan Zhong finally knew everything.

This time, the Taiping Dao was the commander behind the army. The Qiang people abandoned their righteousness when they saw profits and took advantage of the chaos in Guandong and rose up to rebel. They conquered cities and territories, and they also vented their dissatisfaction with the Han court. They also had the intention of separatist and independent.

The reason why the Qiang people surrendered and rebelled repeatedly is related to the policies adopted by the court.

Let’s take the Xianling Qiang, who established the Xianling Dynasty, as an example.

In the early years of the Han Dynasty, Xianling Qiang was mainly distributed in the Huangshui River Basin. In the sixth year of Yuanshuo (121 BC), the Hexi Battle began. King Kunxie of the Xiongnu surrendered to the Han Dynasty. In order to prevent the Huns' harassment, Emperor Wu ordered the expulsion of the Qiang people, which triggered fierce resistance from the Qiang people. Xianling Qiang and Fengyang Qiang, Laojie Qiang combined 100,000 troops to attack Lingju, Angu, and besieged Paohan, but they were all defeated by the Han army. So they moved their tribes to the upper reaches of the Huangshui River, around the Xihai (Qinghai Lake), and around Heguan County, Longxi County. During the reign of Emperor Xuan, the general Zhao Chongguo attacked Xianling Qiang again, forcing Xianling Qiang to continue to move westward to Xiyanchi and other places. At the end of Xinmang, the Central Plains was in chaos, and Xianling Qiang returned to the Huangshui River Basin and occupied Jincheng County.

In the early years of the Han Dynasty, the first Ling Qiang was defeated by General Fubo Ma Yuan. The tribe was forcibly moved to Longxi, Hanyang (Tianshui), Youfufeng and other places, and the remaining troops moved to the outside of the border.

In the first year of Yongchu (107), Xianling led Dianling, led the Qiang and then rebelled, and established Xianling regime. He called himself the emperor in Beidi County, and was known in history as the Xianling Dynasty.

Although the dynasty was short, it was still a fire. It ignited the ambition of the Qiang people to establish a country. Since then, Xianling Qiang, scattered in the Hehuang River Basin, often had a sense of separatism.

The 36 Qiangqu rebelled this time were all "zero-separated species".

The reason why Taipingdao was able to persuade the thirty-six Qiangqu to rebel was that the Qiang was the Qiang, who had the ambition to establish a country in separatist territory.

In Liangzhou, the number of Han people decreased sharply because of the sudden increase in Qiang people. After more than two hundred years of reproduction, the number of people "Qian" that did not include the registered households and citizens may be less than one million.

It is precisely because of this that Taiping Dao, which started with Huang Lao's technique, did not have many believers in Liangzhou. They had to make a lot of money to make a fortune in Qiangqu, and recommended the local powerful kingdom as the main one.

After thinking about it, Yan Zhong asked: "Dare you ask the general, who will obey the orders of the thirty-six Qiangqu, and who will follow the command of the horse?"

"This..." The kingdom was exhausted for a while.

Yan Zhong then made a statement: "The so-called 'there is no two days, the land is no two kings, the family is no two masters, and the respect is no two superiors'. He also said 'One mountain does not accommodate two tigers', 'The mind of guarding against others is necessary'. The general must make plans early."

A word awakens the dreamer.
