Chapter 23 Great Unification

While everyone was talking, Yun Zhao left Lantian County to inspect Hanzhong, Xiangyang and Wuchang.

This is an act of extremely trusting subordinates.

It's also an adventure.

Yun Zhao had considered it, and he even thought it seriously, but in the end, he decided to leave.

Sometimes, in Lantian, you may not be able to see clearly, but you can see more clearly after leaving.

Accompanied by two thousand black-clothed people, Yun Zhao left Guanzhong openly for the first time.

Feng Ying and Liu Cheng were accompanying Yun Zhao on tour.

The reason why Guanzhong is called Guanzhong is because there is a barrier from the Loess Plateau in the north, a barrier from Liupan Mountain in the west, a barrier from the Yellow River in the east, and a Qinling in the south. The entire seal is tight, only Tongguan in the east, Hangu Pass and Dasan Pass in the west are the necessary roads to enter Guanzhong.

Tongguan guards the Yellow River Ferry, while Hangu Pass guards the canyon between the Yellow River and the Qinling Mountains after Dongguai, while Dasan Pass guards between the Liupan Mountains in the west and the Qinling Mountains in the south, and is known as the "Sichuan-Shaan Throat".

Because there are Tongguan, Hangu Pass in the east, and Dasan Pass in the west, it is called Guanzhong.

The name of Hanzhong is easy to understand. To the north of it is the Qinling Mountains, the Daba Mountains are surrounded by the surroundings in other directions. At the top of the Motianling Mountains at the west end, there was Zhuge Liang Kongming Temple. Shu Kingdom during the Three Kingdoms period owned this place.

It is also called Hanzhong because the Han River passes through it.

In ancient times, it was called Nanzheng, Liangzhou and Xingyuan, and was the source of the Han River.

Located in the southwest of Guanzhong, it has been a must-fight for military strategists since ancient times.

Now, this land is completely owned by Lantian.

"The boat snows at night in Guazhou Ferry, and the iron horse is in autumn wind and strongly sanshu!"

When he passed through Baoji through Dasan Pass, where only broken walls remained, Yun Zhao stayed for a while and paid tribute to the ancient battlefield.

Seeing Yun Zhao's mood fading, Liu Cheng smiled and said, "When Lu You wrote this sad and angry poem back then, he would never have thought that one day the county magistrate would come to his sad place with the mighty wind sweeping the world."

Yun Zhao said: "At that time, Emperor Gaozong of Song Dynasty, Zhao Gou and the Jin Dynasty, Wanyan Wushu, took Dasan Pass as the border and each of them was well... Alas, the enemy that Zhao Gou thought could not defeat had no power to fight back under the iron hooves of the Mongol Yuan...

The Mongol Yuan cavalry was invincible, but Zhao Song resisted to the end...become the last country to be destroyed by the Mongol Yuan, and left the life of a Mongolian emperor in Shu...The resistance was resolute, rare in the world."

Liu Cheng smiled and said, "It's time, it's life."

Yun Zhao shook his head and said, "It's a pity that there was no self in Lantian at that time. Otherwise, the Jin people would not have been asked to release them into Ma Guanzhong."

Liu Cheng said: "It's a pity that the sun and the moon cannot be reversed."

Yun Zhao smiled and said, "Not necessarily."

After that, he went down the mountain mausoleum.

Liu Cheng was stunned for a moment, and immediately shook his head and smiled. The county magistrate was at the moment of pride, so it was reasonable to say some crazy words.

Yun Zhao didn't seem to be in a hurry to travel. Sometimes he would stop by the farmland, go directly into the field, chat with the farmers, ask about the harvest, ask about the farming time, and ask whether there is surplus grain in his family's granary.

Sometimes he was even invited by a enthusiastic farmer to visit his house.

I have seen the granary, pigpens, sheep pens, counted their chickens and ducks, and even asked the hostess to feed them in front of him to see how they obey the chickens and ducks were so as not to be deceived by the local village manager.

Fortunately, the Lantian village heads have not yet learned to pile up many chickens and ducks from others in one place, creating the illusion of wealth for Shangguan.

I have seen a family and basically can't get out of it.

Only after understanding the entire village can Yun Zhao continue to set off.

The closer the village is to Guanzhong, the richer and more peaceful it will be. Yun Zhao has already felt this.

He even followed the people to carry the family's output and went to the market to exchange for money and what they needed.

Fortunately, the market has sufficient supplies and the transactions are fair. There are merchants who cheated and deceived farmers. After being exposed, they still make a point, but they have not encountered a scene where forced buying and selling can make Yun Zhao show his skills.

The school is built on the mountainside, and the mountain temple is next to it.

The mountain god's face is colorful and its fangs are hard to describe. Yun Zhao didn't know if this would leave a shadow on the tender hearts of the children who came to study before dawn. At least, judging from the conditions of school construction and the fatty-fooded teacher, the money for the money to assist in the school was not wasted.

Seeing the fat pig in the pigpen skillfully putting his forelimbs on the wall of the pigpen and sniffing at him, Yun Zhao said with emotion: "It actually knows me, buy it, we have a good meal tonight."

The people here look very simple, and everyone has a simple smile on their faces. They are more willing to take out the best things in the house to entertain Yun Zhao.

If Yun Zhao didn't know that there was a giant gangster like Cao Shangfei, and if the people here were accustomed to making meat buns when they had no food to eat, he would indeed think that people are kind.

It is impossible for a person to become more and more kind as he becomes... This is simply a paradox.

Now, as the ruler, Yun Zhao must believe that these people who have eaten human flesh are kind by nature.

When Xu Yuanshou was teaching at Yushan Academy, he attributed this phenomenon to troubled times, to the government, and to the giant bandits - were they really not at all wrong?

When people are happy and healthy and happy, they will deliberately forget some miserable past events. Only at this time will the light of kindness in their human nature be revealed one by one. Perhaps it is more appropriate to call this guilt.

"It is difficult for people to be kind in a cruel environment. This is why we must work hard to improve the living standards of the people."

Yun Zhao glanced at the people who were watching him leave, but couldn't help but sigh.

Liu Cheng recorded Yun Zhao's feelings and expressed the same feelings.

The roads gradually became difficult to walk, the villages became sparse, but the number of copycats gradually became more and more.

Local regiments began to patrol with weapons on the road.

Since the local village chief needs to send a delegation to patrol, this means that there have been vicious cases in this place.

Yun Zhao looked at the tall mountains and listened to the tigers roaring and apes crying in the forest. Sometimes some broken carriages or wheelbarrow wreckages appeared in the mountain stream under his feet. These things told Yun Zhao that there was no extinction of bandits here.

To the whole world, the prosperity of Lantian County is just a mirage.

The world in front of you is the real world.

When entering Motianling, Yun Zhao stopped in front of Zhuge Liang Temple again.

"This is another failed hero."

Yun Zhao looked at the statue of Zhuge Liang holding a goose feather fan in his hand and sighed.

Liu Cheng said: "It is indeed regrettable that the Han Dynasty cannot be revived. I recall that when Zhuge Liang was in Longzhong, he said wildly that Liu Zhang was weak and Zhang Lu was in the north. The people were rich but the country was not polite. The intelligent people wanted to get a wise ruler.

The general was a descendant of the imperial family, and was loyal to the world. He was in charge of heroes and thought of the wise as if he had a thirst. If he had a jing, he would benefit him and protect his hindrance. He would reconcile the Rong people in the west, pacify Yi Yue in the south, and build Sun Quan outside, and cultivate political principles within;

If there is any change in the world, a general will order a general to lead the army of Jingzhou to Wan and Luo, and the general leads the people of Yizhou out of Qinchuan. Who dares to welcome the general without raising a pot of slurry?

However, it would be too stingy to entrust your dreams to the right time, place, and people."

Yun Zhao said: "When I was in Yushan, Mr. Xu also gave me a plan to enter Sichuan and blackmailed me 10,000 taels of silver. He also said so, and he was very optimistic about Guanzhong.

He thought Guanzhong was already an abandoned land, and the prosperity of the past was no longer there, so it would be difficult to achieve anything more.

He strongly advocated that our troops enter Hanzhong and Shuzhong, seize these two Feng Shui treasure lands, and then stay in seclusion and wait for the time to come...

He even believed that Zhuge Liang's former Longzhong was still of guiding significance to our career.

But I don’t know that among the Three Kingdoms, the country of Shu is the least optimistic about.

From Liu Bei's killing Peng Wei, Zhuge Liang abolished Lai Min, and Liao Li, we can know that the ministers and generals in Shu were not the same as Liu Bei.

And the most important point is that Zhuge Liang, Fei Yi, Jiang Wan, Chen Zhi, Zhuge Zhan, the power centers of Shu Han, were all from Shu. Most of the people in Shu were high-ranking generals like Wang Ping and Ma Zhong.

It can be seen that Shu Han is more or less moving against the will of heaven.

In order to suppress these contradictions, Zhuge Liang can be said to have "devoted his whole life to the death."

With the identity of the late emperor as an important official, he led the whole country, set an example, enforced the law strictly, and made clear distinction between rewards and punishments, establishing a clean and sound political atmosphere for the Han Dynasty. However, he also had a tragedy that in order to calm rumors among various groups, he could not bear the law and kill Ma Su in tears.

He stabilized the political situation with his own strength and led the Northern Expedition, but was repeatedly constrained and it was difficult to achieve great success. In the end, Qiufeng Wuzhang was his inevitable end.

Zhuge, do you know that from the time you made the right thing in Longzhong, you are doomed to fail.

An impure team is destined to achieve great things.

What I value most is the purity of human hands when I was in the Yun Zhao’s uprising.

As long as our team is pure and dedicated, I don’t care what kind of adversity we are in.

As long as there are people and everyone is dedicated, even in barren lands like northern Shaanxi, I, Yun Zhao, can still overthrow this old world.

The one who decides the outcome is always one's own people, not one's right time, place, and people.

If the weather is not good, we will make a good time.

Without a geographical advantage, we will find a geographical advantage.

As for people, he can slowly cultivate it..."

Regarding Yun Zhao's words, the Hanzhong Commander Xu Wuxiang naturally disagreed with it. From the time he saw Yun Zhao, he hoped that Yun Zhao would not see Hanzhong people so viciously anymore.

Killing and fighting have become a thing of the past, and now, it is best to appease the people's hearts.

Lantian is where Yun Zhao started his career, so the requirements can naturally be higher. However, for the people in other places, they must recognize their differences and their unique behaviors.

Only by seeking common ground while reserving differences can one unify the world.

Xu Wu wanted to follow Yun Zhao for many years. During the time when Yun Zhao was a teenager and a young man, he was always with him. He felt a strong murderous aura from Yun Zhao's words.
