Xu Ping stood in the yard, looking at Yinshan in the distance, and stood quietly for a long time.

On the other side of the mountain is the vast Gobi Desert and grassland, which is brewing a storm. Xu Ping didn't know what was happening there, and he didn't even know how he recorded the history books of his previous life, but he was extremely sure that the grasslands must be particularly lively at this time. After one or two hundred years, a terrible army will pour out from there, swallowing most of the continent. Historical books record kings, princes, generals, and ministers, but history is not written by them. They are just the choice of history. To have such a powerful force, one or two hundred years of brewing time is actually not enough, and it should have started brewing earlier.

What Xu Ping could do was to firmly tie the fence under Yinshan Mountain, and then build the fence in Youyan area with the chance in the future. The power of the grassland has accumulated to this point and must be released. It is impossible to expect to wave your hand and digest everything invisibly. What you can choose is how to release this force, whether they can go south to the Central Plains as in history, tear everything apart, or like the Han Dynasty, stop this flood and let it leak to another direction.

In history, Mongolia's rise took a different path from the Huns. The main battlefield was no longer in Yinshan, Hexi, but in Yanyun, and Hebei because the Han Dynasty had the Xianbei. The Xianbei and its successors had always been in the Yanyun area. The first thing that Mongolia's rise was facing was not the Central Plains, but this force. When this force was annexed and then faced the Central Plains, the main battlefield moved eastward. In history, Mongolia's rise in history was the first to attack the Dangxiang forces south of Yinshan, because they came from the grassland.

The Huns went south to threaten the Han Dynasty, but were beaten to pieces and forced to move westward, ending the Roman Empire with other barbarians. The power vacuum on the grassland helped the Donghu, a fishing and hunting force in the northeast, to rise. One of the Xianbei teams finally grew stronger and entered the heartland of the Central Plains. Their inheritance continued until the present, a thousand years later. After a thousand years of reincarnation, it is time for the power on the grassland to rise again. In history, they completely overwhelmed the Donghu faction and eventually completely destroyed the Central Plains regime.

History is not only the replacement of dynasties in the Central Plains, but also other forces nurtured by the grassland north of Yinshan and the white mountains and black waters in the northeast. The Central Plains dynasty suppressed the forces of the grassland, which made the Donghu, killed the inheritors of the Xianbei, and also made the grassland. When the Central Plains dynasty was weak, it could not suppress these two forces at the same time. It often pulled one to beat the other, knocked down one to rise and the other. It could not be completely solved, and as soon as it had a problem, it was rushed up.

History is very lively, but sometimes it is indeed very monotonous. Many things are repeated over and over again. Life is only a hundred years, and a thousand years are just a blink of an eye in the long river of history. Many things cannot be done when I think about it.

Such simple repetition, if you change a place and a group of people, you will easily be forgotten. It is like the land south of Yinshan Mountain behind you, after Xu Ping killed Yuanhao and occupied it, what should you do? As before, as long as the forces here pay tribute and send a few officials to manage it, is it okay? Of course not. History has proved that doing so can only become a passerby here, not a master. To obtain this, the Central Plains dynasty must pay enough price.

Not to mention this era, in Xu Ping's previous life, many African countries once became colonies of Europeans. Even if the colonists ruled there for hundreds of years and occupied all their wealth, they would still be driven out when the parent forces retreated. In that era, Africa did not have the strength to compare with the grasslands and the white mountains and black waters, and could not threaten the original body of Europe. This era was different. If they occupied this place in that way, once they contracted, the Central Plains would be bitten hard.

The colonists committed countless sins to Africa, and they deserved to be driven away in Africa. The Tang Dynasty is much more merciful than the colonists, and the Central Plains dynasty was much more generous. They opened their hearts to embrace the surrounding forces, demanded little from them, but paid more. What was the final result? The story of Africa and other colonies has been staged here, in Hexi, in many places that are suitable for farming and herd. Moreover, the Central Plains dynasty was unable to escape unscathed, and the process was far more bloody than Xu Ping's colonial independence in his previous life. He paid sincerity and wealth, but eventually he reaped massacre and oppression. What did the Han people in the Central Plains owe?

Sometimes history is simply repeated again and again. The stories of the Tang Dynasty, the tragedy of the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties will inevitably be staged in other countries. I always feel that I am different, but in the eyes of future generations, it is just a simple reproduction of history. If you do such a thing, you will have such a result. You feel that you are loved by God, and your ideas are irrelevant to history. What happens here will happen elsewhere.

If you cannot truly become your own land, you would rather not, as it will harm your descendants if you want it. If you cannot become your own people, you can only be friends or enemies. If you insist on getting in touch with us, you will only be ridiculed by history.

Xu Ping's previous life was in decline with the internationalization that was plundering from the colonists all over the world. The sparks of the alliance between revolutionaries around the world have been extinguished, and the internationalization of capital, which is known as borderless, is declining, and nationalism is reviving. The national border is there, and the difference between nation and culture is there. Under one roof is family, outside the home is not one's own people, but at most friends are friends.

Maybe it will be different in the future, but it will be like this a thousand years later, and even more so in this era. The revival of Confucianism in the Song Dynasty and the distinction between Yan and Yi was a natural reaction to reality. Regarding the forces around the Central Plains dynasty, Xu Ping's idea was to be friends as much as possible. Whoever doesn't want to be friends is to be enemies, and if he dares to offend me, I will destroy you. It's simple.

If there was no entanglement between the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun and the traditional Han area in Liaodong, Xu Ping would have the same attitude towards the Khitan. He would tighten the fences and live his own lives. Friends could do it, culture could be exchanged, trade could be exchanged, and friendship would be avoided.

Don’t always think about occupying the whole world. The whole world becomes yours, and you are not you anymore. The Han people’s heaven is the heaven of the Central Plains, and you don’t think about letting this heaven care about the whole world. It’s different from those who narcissistically think that they are the only one in the world.

To recover from the northwest, there must be a major principle, tightening the fences and guarding the homeland is Xuping's principle. This is the demand of the times and the principle recognized by most people in the world. Restoring the territory of the Han Dynasty, developing agricultural land, and managing well, peace in the world, peace in the country and peace in the people, and everyone lives and work in peace is to do good things for this era.

Time, place, harmony, harmony is the most important. In another hundred or two years, unprecedentedly powerful forces will emerge in the Baishan and Black Water in the northeast and the grasslands in the north. Don’t think that the result of history is that one or two people are wise, one or two people are stupid, or a group of people are like this. History is written by people, people are very important, but how one person is not that important. The time and place of the Baishan and Black Water and the grassland are already there. If this person does not appear, another person may appear. The results may be different, but it will inevitably cause huge waves. The process and results can be changed, but this shock is inevitable.

The right choice is to calm the surrounding area as soon as possible and keep the wind and waves out of the fence. As for where the wind and waves will eventually surge, Xu Ping is not God, so how could he manage so much? Taking good care of his own family is enough.

When footsteps came, Xu Ping lowered his head and watched Yeli Wangrong and Cheng Keshang walk in with a serious expression. Dangxiang occupied the land, and where the former masters of this land were going, we have to decide today. Today, the two kings wanted to decide whether the army they ruled should be their own people or friends.
