    Line, line, line, line.  In summer, the climate in the hinterland of the Asian continent is dry and hot. After Li Yuan's carriage passed the Peacock City on the Aral Sea, he abandoned his horse and boarded the ship, turned north, and headed towards the vast and flat Siberian Icefield.  The cold current of the Arctic Ocean is like a stream of cold ice springs, flowing south along the Yenisey River, Irtysh River, Ob River, and Lena River. Wherever it goes, it nourishes and grows flowers in the cold temperate zone.  In the swampy area of ??the river bend, frightened migratory birds sometimes fly up from time to time, forming a natural picture of the same color as the sky.  Li Yuan changed his itinerary. The destination of this trip was Dingjun City, located at the western end of Beihai.  It was also the residence of King Han Xin of Yan. Since he ordered to sweep Siberia, the Qin cavalry led by Han Xin had overcome many difficulties caused by weather and terrain in the battles with the Slavs and primitive tribes. After two years of hard work, they finally  This barren land was basically pacified.  Dingjun City was built eight months ago.  Due to the large-scale influence of the cold current, the waterway from the Irtysh River, the Lena River to the North Sea is only passable during the three months of summer. At other times, it can only rely on the transportation of land horses on the horse road.  To be done.  The stability of the north.  For Qin, it is very important.  The Huns have collapsed, but the ability of the grassland people to survive and reproduce will soon give birth to a new strong one. Li Yuan sent King Yan and General Han Xin to guard here just to guard against this situation, and from the north within two years  Judging from the changes in the nation, this preventive measure is very necessary.  Inside Dingjun City.  Han Xin stationed 10,000 troops.  The rest of the generals are scattered over a vast area stretching from the Yenisey River in the west, to the sea in the east, to the Pole in the north, and to Mobei in the south. This range is extremely broad. Fortunately, the harsh natural environment makes the nomadic people in the north very fertile.  Low, unable to form large tribal groups.  Li Yuan led a group of more than a thousand personal guards into the city.  Han Xin learned the news of Li Yuan's arrival early in the morning. He hurried back from the expedition west of the Yenisei River, his face still dusty.  He looked very excited. For him who has outstanding military talents but insufficient political understanding, it is the most uncomfortable when he has no battles and does not use his abilities. And Li Yuan handed over the entire northern battlefield to his hands, which made him feel uncomfortable.  Even though Han Xin was enjoying himself, he was also very grateful.  Have a chat with Han Xin.  Li Yuan asked very detailed questions about the aboriginal people of Siberia, and Han Xin's answers were also extremely serious. He could see from Li Yuan's solemn expression.  I felt a lot of pressure.  The Slavs originally lived in the Ob and Yenisey river basins. Under the attack of Han Xin's army, they had begun to migrate to the Volga River basin in the west. At the same time, the Huns who had followed Helianbi to move westward had  Department, after going north to the Don River area.  Gradually settling down, however, as the East Slavs moved westward, the two ethnic groups began to attack each other. Han Xin's army is currently stationed in the Ural Mountains and watching the tigers fight, waiting for the time to come and give the enemy fatal blows at any time.  one strike.  Driving away wolves and devouring tigers.  On the Eurasian continent.  The great turmoil caused by ethnic migration is inevitable.  When he was about to fight a decisive battle with the powerful enemy the Romans, taking advantage of the migration wave among the Romans' northern ethnic groups to give Scipio a headache was what Li Yuan was most willing to do.  Han Xin praised Li Yuan's strategy very much.  Before arriving in the north, he had thought that occupying this barren land in the cold region would be useless and completely unnecessary, but now.  After witnessing Qin's rapid westward expansion and tasting the glory and glory on the road of conquest, Han Xin was convinced.  Since ancient times, what has a general been most afraid of?  It's not how strong the enemy is, but what you fear the most is the suspicion of your immediate boss. The so-called high achievements shock the master.  When a general achieves great military success, he will inevitably arouse the suspicion of his superiors.  Han Xin¡¯s low evaluation in history is due to many reasons, among which.  There are problems with his own character flaws, mainly his low political sensitivity. Especially when Liu Bang became more suspicious of his military power, he still lingered on not giving up control of the army, which finally made Liu Bang and Lu Fei painful.  Killer.  Of course, the murder of Han Xin was not an isolated case. In Liu Bang's later years, a large number of generals who had made great achievements with him were all executed, including Han Xin, Yingbu, Peng Yue, Han Wangxin, etc. As the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang was only over 50 years old.  After pacifying all the princes, in order to ensure the stability of the Liu family, even if Han Xin and others voluntarily gave up military power and returned to their hometowns, the final result would not be much better.  However, Li Yuan did not have these concerns about Han Xin.  On the one hand, Qin's territory expanded infinitely, and Han Xin, the King of Yan, had his horizons broadened by his continuous conquests from west to north. For him, the Central Plains was just a part of the entire world, and there was no need for him to fight for it.In order to gain power, he braved the wrath of the people in the world and plotted to seize the Li family.  On the other hand, Li Yuan was a few years younger than Han Xin, so he didn't have to worry about what happened after his death. What's more, in terms of military exploits and abilities, in the minds of the people of Qin and even the world, Han Xin couldn't compare with Emperor Shenwu.  And discuss.  If one day Han Xin really wanted to rebel, his generals would immediately betray him before he could send troops.  Early September.  After Li Yuan inspected the north, he returned to the Altai Mountains along the original route, then entered the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, then followed the oases of various city-states in the Western Regions and returned to the Dunhuang and Hexi areas.  After the Qin State's large-scale westward expansion, the city-states of the Western Regions such as Khotan, Shule, and Loulan, which originally had ambitions, have long given up the idea of ??expansion and self-reliance. Protected by the Qin State's army, the kings of the Western Regions are enjoying the Silk Road.  The huge benefits brought by the road without worrying about the danger of annihilation of the country and the genocide. Where can there be such a cheap thing in this world?  A year ago, at the suggestion of Princess An Qinglan of Loulan, the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions joined the Qin State as a whole. Of course, unlike the counties in the Central Plains, these city-states were relatively free politically except for military power. Originally,  The king naturally became the nominal chief executive of a county.  ¡ª¡ª.  September 11th.  Li Yuan and his party arrived in the Dunhuang area east of Lop Nur.  The motherland is still there.  The familiar scene made Li Yuan, a wanderer who had been fighting abroad for a long time, couldn't help but sigh with emotion. Now, the vast territory of western Asia and even northern Africa has been included in the territory of Qin State, but for a true descendant of Yan and Huang, the hometown is only  One, that is the hot land inside Yumen Pass.  The wind and sand in the Hexi Corridor are still as old as before, and the melted snow water from the Qilian Mountains has decorated the Juyanhai area with blooming flowers. The summer pastures here are lush with green grass and herds of cattle and sheep.  After receiving the news that Li Yuan¡¯s motorcade was passing by, Si Jinxi, the witch of the Aries tribe, led the elders of the tribe and stopped by Chidao. She wanted to use the tribe¡¯s most sincere etiquette to greet the most distinguished guest.  The once young and strong Witch King was now over thirty years old, and the passage of time gradually left traces on her face that could not be concealed.  Eight years to earn interest.  The Aries Guifang tribe, which was almost exterminated, became strong again, and this time, they were no longer hostile to the civilization of the Central Plains. Many of their young tribesmen began to learn the language and customs of the Qin people.  There are even people who have served as first-level officials in Qin's counties and counties.  Jin Xi's witchcraft is gradually no longer valued by the tribe as before. She uses more of the healing methods in witchcraft to relieve the tribe's illnesses, and the deceptive things of the sacrifices slowly fade out.  caught her sight.  This is a kind of civilizational progress.  Jin Xi was very open to this. The second batch of Aries tribe warriors who accompanied the Qin army on the westward expedition performed well in Luo Jia's cavalry team, and they have gradually integrated into it.  Therefore, from Jin Xi's point of view, the mission of accepting the old Witch King's instructions to continue the Aries tribe has been successfully completed.  As a woman, with her status and age as the Witch King, it is no longer possible for her to give birth to the next generation herself. Therefore, Jin Xi is not concerned about how much of the tribe's traditions can be preserved.  Li Yuan stayed at the grazing land of the Aries tribe for half a day. This was the first time he had reminisced with his old friends since the Western Expedition. The cheese pastry made by Jin Xi himself had a glutinous feeling in his mouth.  , Li Yuan instantly recalled the nostalgia and acquaintance of his hometown Chang'an.  Between men and women.  Is it possible that there is a confidante?  The answer is always no. Men are lustful animals. If he is facing an ugly woman, he will probably not have much interest in sitting across from her. But if it is a beautiful woman, it is inevitable that he will be distracted. With Jin Xi¡¯s appearance, it is natural that he will not  Unsightly, of course. Compared to Yan Feng's youthful beauty, her appearance has mostly mature elements, but when it comes to beauty, she is even less beautiful.  Li Yuan also admired Jin Xi, a woman who shouldered the heavy burden of the Aries tribe, so he also respected her very much in his conversation.  The integration of the nation requires a difficult process.  Like the Aries tribe, because the Qin army sent troops to rescue them, their tribesmen were grateful to Qin, so there were basically no major problems during the integration.  But some other ethnic groups were different. Those Xiongnu tribes who had no choice but to be moved to the Central Plains by Qin were not willing to be disintegrated. They started to launch uprisings in the Central Plains one after another. However, as a result, they were often separated by the Qin army due to their dispersed settlements.  If it is defeated, the entire clan will be wiped out.  As a historical term, the Xiongnu no longer exists, but for the tribal people who are accustomed to nomadic herding, all they can do is??Get used to and adapt to the new lifestyle.  In the process of painful integration into the farming nation, it is the greatest luck to be able to retain some traces of the past herding days.  Those who obey will prosper.  Those who rebel will perish.  The powerful empire established by Li Yuan never pitied the failed ethnic groups. If any ethnic group in the East wants to survive, they can only join this great collision between Eastern and Western civilizations, and they can only prove it with strength and blood.  Only with your own abilities can you gain new life.
