114 The Taiping Heist
Prime Minister Chen made six strange plans to help Emperor Gaozu unify the world.
During the siege of Pingcheng, Chen Ping offered advice and bribed the Shanyu Yan family, and Emperor Gaozu was able to rescue the siege. He also offered advice to marry and form the Huns. The two strategies before and after almost planned the four hundred years of the Han Dynasty and the Huns.
Whether it was forced in the early stage or later stages, the marriage of marriage undoubtedly made the connection between the Huns and the Han Dynasty closer. It made the Southern Huns move south and the Northern Huns escape far away, sowing the seeds of division.
The Han Dynasty always had two techniques of governing the country in parallel, kingly way and domineering.
Many people who are voluntarily destroyed the country, but many people move in and rely on it.
The Yue people went north and the Huns moved south and continued to be Chinese.
During the Han Dynasty, our civilization was always unrestrained and open-minded. Two thousand years ago, we were leading the world by a thousand years. Two thousand years later, we were behind the world by a hundred years. Today we have been catching up. We have spent two thousand years on just one thing.
Fusion.
There are no more Xiongnu, Nanyue, and Qiang people. Only China is unified. Our civilization has always been cultural identity, and at most it is just map cannons. However, there are few bloodline speculators. We never think that skin color and race are signs of hierarchy.
The civilized temperament was tempered and formed in the Han dynasties and originated from Yanhuang in ancient times.
The Silk Road is a symbol of the prosperity of dynasties in history. Because, whether it is output or input, we have begun to embrace the world and merge and symbiosis again.
Needless to say, Prime Minister Chen’s magic.
But Xi Zhicai thought.
The sunny and handsome the appearance, the more vicious and vicious he is when he uses the trick. For example, Prime Minister Chen of my family.
Why?
It's very simple. The sunlight is reflected by the outside and does not shine into the dark heart at all!
Just a joke.
Nomads have no fixed place to live and have no fixed concept of territory. Occupying the ancient city of Sheyan is just to seek the lush water and grass here. It is not a pity to go out and leave now. It only needs to be profitable.
Xi Zhicai and the Xianbei people in the eastern part who returned to Linxiang along Shangjun Road, bid farewell to each other. This alliance with the small tribes in the western part of Xianbei continued eastward along the Sheyan River, heading to the former Kucha vassal state. The Kucha vassal state further northeast was the Southern Xiongnu royal court and Meiji County.
The Qiang scouts who were cruising around the neighborhood followed him and then turned back one after another. They rushed to return the letter of return.
Hexi Corridor.
The silk caravan set off again. Before leaving, the wealthy businessman ordered people to close the fort door and re-mount the Luban lock. Save it for later use.
The caravan knew very little about the massacre last night. Except for some merchants who received a report, some of them did not know where to go. It was difficult to travel west, and flee halfway. The merchants only needed to return to their departure place, follow the coupons and follow the law.
Moreover, this trip is profitable and you must not lose the big ones because of small things. Therefore, even if you learn that someone is missing, the merchants will not report it.
After leaving Wuwei, the convoy arrived in Zhangye County.
Zhangye is located in the narrowest middle section of the Hexi Corridor. It is named after "Zhang Guobing Ye, to connect to the Western Regions".
In the second year of Yuanshou (121 BC), Emperor Wu sent Huo Qubing to the west and set up Zhangye County after defeating the Huns. He took the meaning of "cutting the arms of the Huns and opening the arms of China" and after taking this place, it was equivalent to the Han court opening its arms and embracing the Western Regions into their arms.
Very appropriate and vivid.
I had a conversation with Ma Yuanyi last night. Liu Bei did hide it.
It was not when he saw Ma Yuanyi that he realized that the Xianbei inner demon was Taiping Dao. But he had long speculated.
Before departure, when the chief clerk Jia Xu and others reviewed the robbery files sent by the Bingzhou governor's office, they found that there was no pattern to follow in all the crime sites; and the robbed goods were very expensive. How did the Xianbei plant internal ghosts in each caravan, how did the internal ghosts know the details of the goods, and how did they inform them?
The seemingly messy and extremely random robbery made Liu Bei think of the robbery of Lou Sang in Shaoshi and Lou Sang. The entire Cui family caravan participated. It was because it was too incredible that Liu Bei remembered the old things many years ago. He knew that behind the robbery, there must be a force beyond the world at work. That is Taipingdao.
Rather than saying that the Xianbei was choosing a caravan, it was better to say that the Taiping Dao believers in the caravan decided whether to rob or not.
In other words, the Xianbei did not place inner ghosts in the caravan, but the Taiping Road, which was spread all over the world, was in secret.
Because there are many believers and all walks of life, when Taipingdao gave the order, these believers who usually look no different from ordinary people have quietly taken action.
Why do you need to install an insider?
The believers in the team only need to know the inside story of the caravan and determine that the goods are precious, and they will secretly report the news. The believers in nearby informed the commander Qu and the leader of the Takuba layer by layer, and then informed the Tufa Xianbei. Even the Takuba Xianbei is just a cover. Many major cases were secretly robbed by Taipingdao under the name of Takuba. They then blamed the Tufa tribe afterwards.
Why?
money.
In order to engage in rebellion, whether it is to build weapons, purchase food and grass, or even win over anti-Han forces, important officials from all sides, and eunuchs in the court thought that they all needed a lot of funds. From the robbery of the treasure trove in their youth, to the robbery of the donation of money before the New Year, to the caravan robbery today, and even Liang Ji's Jinshan robbery.
These robberies, which are either successful or failed, are all for money.
It is probably not directed at Liu Bei alone. All believers in the world obtained the imperial edict from the great wise and good teachers from the commander of the big and small Qu and the leader of the big and honest. So the world's balance and swaying to hear the news and collectively raise money and work.
Why did the Xianbei join forces with the Qiang people? The Taiping Road will surely fuel the fire afterwards.
The Qiang people and the Xianbei both had blood feuds with the Han court. They were natural alliances. They were just suitable for being taken for themselves by Taipingdao. This is true. In history, Beigong Boyu and others raised an army to rebel against the Han Dynasty, which echoed the Taipingdao.
Liu Bei originally thought that the Jinshan theft case of Liang Ji was caused by his son Liang Boyu. Now, thinking about it, his vision is still low.
Behind it, Taipingdao must be involved.
This time, because the caravan was unprecedented in size and the goods sold were all high-value silk, it attracted the attention of Ma Yuanyi, the Taiping Road Dafang. So he personally led the Yellow Turban Dead Warriors to secretly enter the caravan and prepared to take the opportunity to act. However, he accidentally found that the leader of the team was in Liu Bei's caravan every day. This caused shock, so he checked in person. Unexpectedly, he was shot and killed by his subordinates. He knew that he could not escape death, so he decided to go on his car.
The cinnabar that Shi Huan found from the Yellow Turban Dead Soldiers, which was housed in a bamboo tube, was the one they used to keep as a secret code along the way. The cinnabar is what the alchemy says, and the smell is strong. Just borrow a local dog to chase along the way.
As for when to take action, Liu Bei found the answer in Ma Yuanyi.
A sound arrow.
Unlike the whistle arrow, this arrow is tied with a small bamboo tube. The outside of the bamboo tube is wrapped in fuse and saltpeter is contained inside. After ignition, it will explode in the air to form fireworks. This is the earliest signal flare. Especially at night, it is widely visible.
I guess the Yellow Turban Remnants, the Tufa Xianbei, were falling from afar behind the caravan, waiting for Ma Yuanyi's signal.
If a signal is sent at night, it must be that the heavens are about to come and rob.
Liu Bei invited wealthy businessmen to explain the details.
