Han Dao world

Chapter 1190
Not long ago, Xun Yun received a gift from Nanyang.

A metal cylinder that can allow people to see very far and clearly. The official name is a telescope, but Ke Bineng and others prefer to call it a clairvoyance.

They believe that as long as the weather is good enough and they stand high enough, this cylinder will allow them to see mountains thousands of miles away like eagles.

No one has tried whether they can really see thousands of miles away, but it is an indisputable fact that telescopes can give them the upper hand on the grassland and spot their opponents first.

Ke Bi has been able to fight for many years, and has more contact with the Han people. He has always coveted the Han people's ordnance, and he can see the military use of the telescope at a glance.He wanted to have one very much, but the emperor only gave one, and he specified that it was for Xun Yun, so he dared not ask for it.

Taking advantage of today's New Year's Eve, everyone drank a lot of wine, he just mentioned it.

Xun Yun also seemed like a bright mirror in his heart, and nodded with a smile.

"Yes, clairvoyance is originally made for viewing the sky, and anticipating the enemy is just a side effect."

"Oh..." Ke Bi Neng smacked his lips, still a little unwilling. "Since it is a sharp tool for viewing the sky, it must be very expensive, right?"

"A clairvoyance is [-] to [-] times more expensive than gold of equal weight. It's nothing more than valuable, the key is that it is rare. The emperor exhausted the money in the small mansion, and only made a dozen or so pieces in the first batch, all of which were given to the frontier soldiers. General. Although I am not a general, thanks to the commander, I also got one. I use it to watch the sky in normal times, and lend it to the commander to watch the battle during war."

Ke Bineng grinned and raised his wine glass. "Chang Shi was joking. I have no more than ten thousand riders under my command. How can I be compared with the generals of the Han army. This is because Chang Shi has a valuable status and is favored by the emperor. Chang Shi, read a few words from "Heavenly Questions" and I will listen to it, and then help me Explain it, and let me be a cultural person."

"Hahaha..." Xun Yun laughed.

The Xianbei general on the side also laughed, sat up straight, and put on a posture of listening attentively.

Xun Yun took a sip of wine, moistened his throat, and began to recite "Heavenly Questions".

"Say: At the beginning of ancient times, who preached the Tao?

The upper and lower are not formed, why test it?

Mingzhao is dark, who can do it to the extreme?
Feng Yiwei looks like, how can he recognize it..."

Xun Yun usually mingles with Xianbei people, wears Xianbei clothes, speaks Xianbei language, and is almost the same as Xianbei people except that his hairstyle has not changed.From Ke Bineng to ordinary soldiers, they all regarded him as their own.At this moment, listening to him reciting "Heavenly Questions" in standard Han official dialect, I suddenly woke up, realized that he was a real Han, and unconsciously looked up.

Even Xun Yun himself has this feeling, it seems that every time he recites a word, he can awaken a deep pride in his heart.

Shen You didn't know when he woke up, and began to chant along with Xun Yun, beating the beat.

"Where is the dace? Where is the pile of dace?
Yi Yan Yan Sun?Wu Yan Xie Yu..."

Tang Suhe also sat up, rubbing his eyes, a little dazed.After a while, she realized that what Shen You and Xun Yun were reciting was the "Heavenly Questions" that she had heard countless times and could already recite, so she couldn't help but clapped her hands and joined in the recitation.

"He Qinzi slaughtered his mother, and the death penalty went to the ground?
The emperor descended to Yiyi, to reform Xia people..."

Her pronunciation is also not as good as Xun Yun's and Shen You's standards. It sounds somewhat awkward, but it is interesting.

Although the others couldn't understand, seeing that Tang Suhe could also chant along, they became more excited and beat the beat together, pushing the atmosphere to a climax.

Xun Yun finished reciting and was about to explain, Tang Suhe jumped up and volunteered to explain to Ke Bi Neng.

Ke Bi Neng was happy in his heart, and Xun Yun was also happy to be at leisure, so Tang Suhe went to talk about it.

Tang Suhe listened to Shen You's explanation of "Heavenly Questions" many times, but he was not very interested in the deep meaning of it, and only listened to it as a story. When "Heavenly Questions" came out of her mouth, it was less sophisticated and more interesting, and Ke Bineng and others listened with great interest.

While discussing, they couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Xianbei people also have similar legends, but because there is no written language, they can only be sung by priests. Ordinary people have the opportunity to listen and learn a little, but they have no chance to understand it deeply.The Han people are different. They have writing and books. Everyone can read and have the opportunity to study these esoteric issues.

Coupled with their huge accounts, the power they can unleash is truly terrifying.

Divine artifacts like clairvoyance will only appear in big men, not on grasslands.

Even if they can buy one or two pieces with a lot of money, it is only one or two pieces, and they will never be able to master the production method.

It is unwise to fight against such opponents, the wisest choice is to join them.

After listening to Tang Suhe's "Heavenly Questions", Ke Bineng discussed with Xun Yun the plan of the Western Expedition.

They have been stationed on the northern shore of the Caspian Sea for more than half a year, and have been collecting information on the west of the Caspian Sea. They already have a thorough understanding of the prairie, and they can't wait to launch an attack immediately.

The emperor of the Han family was right, and the deduction of the law of the sun was also right. It was a fertile pasture, enough for his tribe to live and work in peace and recuperate.

It's just that Xun Yun opposed his plan, thinking that preparations were not enough and he should wait.

Xun Yun's reason was that although there were only some barbarians on the prairie, including the Huns who had been defeated by the Han, there were Roman strongholds on the Crimean Island at the southern end of the prairie.

The Romans had limited military strength and could not pose a threat to them, but the Romans controlled the Black Sea, and they also controlled the commercial roads leading to Rome.In the absence of a navy to participate in the war, even if they can seize the Crimea, they will not be able to control the trade routes. It will only arouse the vigilance of the Romans and destroy the current commercial relations.

If the trade route is blocked, not only will they not be able to profit from the trade route, but the imperial court will also be affected.

Xun Yun's statement is correct, but Ke Bineng's focus is different.

Although the profits brought by the trade routes are great, they are not the most important thing to him. The prairie north of the Black Sea is the most important thing.Whether there is a trade route is just a question of whether you can live a more nourishing life.Whether there is that prairie is a question of whether they can survive.

After leaving Guishuang, his life was not so easy.The grassland on the northern shore of the Caspian Sea was far inferior to the grassland between the two rivers. It couldn't support the people under his command, let alone grow.

A long-awaited prairie is in front of you, but you can't swallow it. Kebi can't figure it out, and his generals are also very opinionated.

If it weren't for the powerful Han Dynasty behind Xun Yun, they would have turned their heads long ago.

Xun Yun understood Ke Bineng's mood, but he still said to Ke Bineng that in a battle of thousands of miles, one seeks victory and great profit.Once a war starts, one should not focus on the outcome of several battles, but should focus on the complete conquest of an area.

Going west now can indeed defeat the local barbarians, but defeating them does not mean that you will be able to occupy that grassland.Those people will be like a pack of wolves, constantly harassing you and making you uncomfortable.Over time, your gains may not be as great as expected.

If you can capture the Crimean Island in one fell swoop and control the trade routes, not only can you obtain certain benefits from the trade routes, but you can also transport food from the south of the Black Sea to make up for the lack of nomadism, and then you will be stable when you confront the barbarians.

Ke Bineng was still not reconciled.

Seeing this situation, Shen You made a suggestion: You can send a small group of people to test it first.

After all, news is news, and it is inevitable that it is not true.Only by sending people there can we truly understand the reality of those barbarians.If the opponent's strength is indeed strong, it will be no problem to withdraw.

Ke Bi can express his approval.
