Goose Three Kingdoms

Chapter 631: Ambition of the Brocade Clothes
The urgent military situation outside the Great Wall did not trigger any significant public opinion wave.

Compared with Kebi Neng's western expedition to Mobei, the scholars in Guanzhong were more concerned about who would be Fa Zheng's successor.

Soon, at the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, the latest edition of Nature was published.

In order to cater to the vast number of scholars at Chang'an University, various schools and guild halls would post copied copies of "Nature" and "Dibao" on the walls in front of their doors.

The publication of "Urea Theory" did not occupy the first article of this month. The first article was "Views on Maggots and Flies" jointly selected by various libraries.

How did everything in the world come into being?

Many people have been thinking about this question since ancient times, and it is generally believed that it was created from heaven and earth.

In addition to birth from the live and from eggs, there is birth from transformation.

For example, fireflies breed in piles of rotten grass, flies breed in piles of rotten grass, and fish breed in stagnant water puddles.

Even the wild animals, birds, and mineral deposits seemed to be created from nothing.

Then there were the distant Hu and barbarians, who seemed to be endless to kill and capture.

Not only the barbarians, but also the refugees in the country seem to have been transformed in this way. You can always find various refugees in the mountains and wilderness.

This simple understanding of chemical evolution is like a refresh in the wild.

The author of "Insights on Maggots and Flies" used freshly cut meat for a control experiment and derived the reproduction process of flies. He questioned the theory of the origin of heaven and earth and believed that all things have their roots.

On the outskirts of Chiyang City, Zhong Yao followed the black bear to welcome Gan Ning who had returned triumphantly.

Now Zhong Yao pays more attention to health preservation, and death is not that scary. However, the understanding of the world by today's heroes is constantly deepening, which makes Zhong Yao unwilling to die of old age or illness in a confused state.

With every extra year you live, your cognition will be refreshed.

The satisfaction brought by this cognitive innovation makes him feel that his life is also revitalized.

It seems that as this road continues to be opened up, there will be a day when the secrets of the gods will be revealed.

When Heavenly Master Zhang Lu ascended to heaven, the scholars' attitudes were polarized. Zhong Yao believed in Kong Rong, and he valued his life and his current unique status more.

So when Gan Ning withdrew his troops and passed through Chiyang, Black Bear came to Chiyang to greet him. Zhong Yao also took the initiative to come forward and organize the only manpower and material resources he had to help reward the troops.

The first group to return with Gan Ning was 5,000 guards from the Jiazi Camp, who escorted more than 10,000 Shengqiang captives.

After these prisoners have finished touring the city and boasting about their achievements, they will be driven into the Hancheng mine.

The guards of Jiazi Battalion changed into new uniforms one day in advance. The whole army wore red robes and black armor, showing the style of the Han army.

The only pity is that after the heads were captured and reviewed, a city was built on the spot and they could not be transported back to Guanzhong to enrich the Skull Nest.

All the heads captured in the You-Ji War last year were transported back to Guanzhong and thrown into the Skull's Nest.

To truly fill the Skeleton Nest, about 300,000 heads will be needed.

The Skeleton Nest is the real wonder of Guanzhong.

How easy is it to fill the Skeleton Nest?

The top of Chiyang City, where Ma Wan leaped once upon a time.

The cold wind blows and the hot soup boils.

Gan Ning, wearing gilded dragon scale armor, described the battle on the front line to Black Bear in detail.

Although he did not personally command anything on the front line, the final performance evaluation of the three armies was completed by Gan Ning.

The greatest contribution in this battle was made by Ma Chao.

It was the army led by Ma Chao that first broke through the Huangshui defense line. When the Sheng Qiang tribes were evacuating, they were pursued and annihilated by Ma Chao and Zhang Xiu respectively.

After describing the main events of the battle, Gan Ning began to talk about the shortcomings exposed in this battle, such as the chaos on the southern battlefield.

More and more forces were involved here at Meng Da's place, expanding from the Qing Qiang to the Canlang Qiang, and then to the Baima Qiang.

Then, the Taiping Dao believers within the Dian Di and Gang Di in the north of Guanghan County also took up arms to attack the original conservative tribes, causing civil strife.

Fortunately, Ma Chao and Zhang Xiu ended the Hehuang War. Zhang Xiu, who was fighting in the Hezhong area, led his troops south, crossed the snow-capped mountains and assisted Meng Da in quickly defeating the Three Qiang Allied Forces.

Meng Da then divided his troops into the Yinping area and cooperated with the local Taiping Dao believers to destroy the mountains and temples, eliminating the original priest power. The Qiang and Di people were basically of the same origin, and the Di people split from the Qiang people.

The Qiang people had always coveted the rich Shuzhong, but were hindered by the Ba people. During the continuous war, some Qiang tribes took root there and evolved into the Di people.

For example, the Baima Qiang and the Baima Di have the same origin, but they have deep hatred for each other.

If Hehuang had not won quickly, the war would have continued to spread southward, involving more Taiping Dao organizations and Badi tribes.

Therefore, Gan Ning concluded that in the future a conflict between new and old beliefs would break out everywhere.

The Di people in the northern part of Guanghan eliminated the barbaric and bloody priest forces, but the priest forces still remained within the vast southern barbarians and various Yi peoples.

In each tribe, the priests basically inherit the power through bloodlines and control the tribal culture.

There is only benefit for the lower-class tribesmen to believe in Taiping Dao, which can reduce the pressure of life; the tribal leader is often rotated among several powerful families, and they all want to implement the hereditary rights within the family through the approval of the county.

Then the powerful tribes who were deprived of their right to inherit the leadership and the priestly forces would inevitably be dissatisfied, and it is not surprising that they would collude with each other.

If the main force of Guanzhong were to go on an expedition at any time, these conservative forces would likely unite to launch a rebellion and strangle the spreading Taiping Dao grassroots organizations.

This kind of rebellion is very stubborn.

Either you completely destroy the opponent, or you capture them all and take them away to mine. There is no third solution.

If we compromise and allow the priests to merge into the Taiping Dao...although it can weaken the intensity of the rebellion, the Taiping Dao will lose its purity and will also disappoint the original believers.

Gan Ning's description was very detailed, and Black Bear could not help but understand that Gan Ning wanted to be responsible for commanding this war.

After Gan Ning finished speaking, no one responded, waiting for Black Bear's decision.

Gan Ning really didn't want to stay in Hongnong and wait for war. He just wanted to be in command when the war broke out.

Make a reservation first to avoid having others snatch it from you later.

Black Bear pondered the influence of Gan Ning's entry into Shu. If Huang Quan, Qin Mi, Wang Fu and Zhang Song could represent all the scholars in Yizhou, then Gan Ning could represent the poor people in Yizhou.

The Three Mutual Laws are meant to restrict ordinary people, but for core figures like Gan Ning, special arrangements can naturally be made.

Gan Ning mentioned in public that there was also the hard work of the general manager of logistics and supervising the safe retreat of the Qinghua guards.

In front of everyone, Black Bear didn't want to hurt Gan Ning's face.

He only thought about it for a moment and said, "If the people in the mountains and mountains are in turmoil and kill our Taoists, the shogunate will send troops to suppress them. But the 20,000 troops stationed in Hanzhong and Mianzhu are enough to deal with ordinary emergencies. Xingba is worried about extraordinary changes. If you want to quell extraordinary changes, you should use extraordinary people."

Gan Ning lowered his head, somewhat afraid to meet the black bear's gaze.

Black Bear said calmly: "Xingba has been away from home for more than ten years. This is how half of a person's life is. Please stay in Hongnong temporarily and help me dig through the Dizhu. If there is a rebellion in the southwest, I will appoint Xingba as the Grand Commander and take charge of suppressing the rebellion in the northern part of Yizhou. If the mountain people are obedient and there are occasional minor disturbances, the counties can suppress them, and Xingba will have to be patient."

"Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty. I am not seeking any merit or official rank. I have been away from home for a long time and have wanted to return home in glory."

Gan Ning stood up from the table and knelt on one knee before the black bear, with a sigh: "In a few years, the old people in the village will be gone, and it will be no fun for me to return to my hometown in brocade clothes."

"Well, if the pillar is broken, even if there is no rebellion, I will allow Xingba to return home in brocade clothes."

Black Bear stood up and came forward to support Gan Ning, and said to everyone with a smile: "Please verify this matter, and I will never change it."

At this time, Kong Rong suddenly cried with red eyes. When everyone looked at him, Kong Rong covered his face with his sleeves and said, "The people of Xizhou have enjoyed the grace of Your Majesty and peace. But my hometown is pitiful. Cao thieves and wolves are around, the county is not governed, bandits and wild beasts are free to roam, and the people are in dire straits."

With tears in his eyes, Kong Rong staggered to his feet, kowtowed to the black bear, raised his head with tears on his face, and said, "I beg Your Majesty to have pity on my fellow villagers and send troops to Guandong as soon as possible!"

Zhong Yao also stood up, supporting himself on the table with his hands, and led many officials from Guandong to the open space to kneel and worship.

Zhong Yao was also feeling sad. He looked up at Black Bear and said, "The time is approaching. General Xingba can still return home in glory. I am afraid that in a few years, the people in the countryside will be preyed upon by tigers, wolves and treacherous officials! I beg the Grand Marshal to have pity on our people and send troops to Guandong as soon as possible!"

A group of Guandong officials also kowtowed, their expressions were sorrowful, and they cried out in unison: "We beg the Grand Marshal to have pity on our people and send troops to Guandong as soon as possible!"

After the kowtow, there was continuous crying.

All the onlookers around were moved.

Only Yang Xiu lowered his head and covered his face with his sleeves, looking cold.

Black Bear looked around and said, "Everyone, please stand up. Once we drill through the pillar, it will be time for us to march out of Guandong!"
