It is severely cold in winter.

The hula north wind went south from the vast Siberian ice field, passing Alkin Mountain, Gonglu River, and then crossing Helan Mountain to reach the hinterland of Guanzhong.

The uniqueness of Chang'an City warms the Qin people in this cold winter, and at the same time, it also warms the tourists stranded in Chang'an.

"The power of the Great Qin Dynasty is like this!" In some public bathhouse rest areas in Chang'an City, several Hu Shangs were naked and were lying down to receive the hard rubbing of the servant. Although their skin was red, their faces clearly showed a wave of comfort.

"Haha, let me tell you that King Wu destroyed Western Chu this time, and the war in the Guandong area finally subsided. After this winter, I plan to drive the shop to Luoyang. It is the hinterland of the Central Plains, closest to the sea and Jiangdong area, and the prices of silk and seashells are even lower!" One of the Hu merchants obviously has a more business vision, and he suddenly saw clearly where the business opportunities for making money were.

"Luoyang is a good place, connecting Jingchu in the south, Haiyue in the east, and Zhao Yan in the north. Why not let us put together a total of together and propose to the court to open a branch in Luoyang."

While taking a shower, the Hu merchants talked about the big plan to make money. They didn't know that their words had been heard by the busy servants beside them.

As early as the beginning of the construction of the public bath room, Li Yuan instructed Li Bi, the Chang'an commander who was in charge of internal intelligence at that time, to train and train some wandering orphans to serve as the service staff of the bath room. This matter was widely promoted after Yan Le took over.

Nowadays, valuable information is being transmitted from the bathhouses all over Chang'an City to the Military Information Department where Yan Le is located, and the officials in charge of the affairs of each department are classified, and then they are stacked on Yan Le's case table according to the level of importance. If it is first-level confidential information, such as the discovery of the secrets of the Huns, or other major events involving the stability and economic development of the Qin State.

Like the discussions of Hu merchants today, they will be incorporated into the Quotation Office. After sorting out, they will be placed on the desk of Prime Minister Chen Ping a day later.

Chen Ping must give instructions on the collected and sorted information documents within three days, how to implement them, who will implement them, and when will the implementation be rewarded? At the same time, what will be the long-term impact of this matter after the execution of the matter, and who will conduct the final evaluation.

These are simple to say, but they are very trivial to do, and they are related to the coordination of various departments and links of internal affairs. As long as there is a problem in one of the places, the entire mechanism will fall into a state of paralysis.

In order to prevent losses caused by work mistakes, Qin State has formulated a severe mechanism in assessing performance. As for the Biancai, the conspicuous location of each standard weapon has the name of the craftsman, the date of production, and the name of the craftsman responsible for inspection. If there is any quality problem, the responsibilities of the relevant parties can be investigated immediately.

This is true for military construction, and in other aspects of Qin's internal affairs, military and other aspects. This rigorous assessment without any sensibility is the Legalist idea inherited from the Qin State and has always been criticized by the various schools of thought from Kanto. After Li Yuan founded the new Qin Dynasty, this rigorous assessment system was used.

"Our nation is not lacking in warmth, only laws; our country is not lacking in manpower, only discipline; our people are not lacking in diligence, only uneven!"

When he decided to follow these Qin laws formulated by Li Si, Li Yuan responded loudly and confidently with his answers, and no one knew better than him what would happen in the future.

Now, Li Yuan is the King of Wu of Qin.

No one dares to obey his orders, no one dares to obey his orders.

The Qin State can learn from the doctrines of Taoism, Confucianism, Mohism and other schools, but the foundation of Qin State's rule is still the Legalist's thoughts and theories, which cannot be shaken.

Demote all schools of thought and respect Confucianism.

The policy implemented in the Western Han Dynasty had a profound influence in Chinese history, which made Emperor Wu of Han who decided to do so unexpectedly. The essence of Confucianism lies in the doctrine of the mean, in the blurring of all right and wrong, and in the debate of clear things to become neutral things.

It is undeniable that Confucianism has brought China the demeanor of a great country and history that can make the world extremely proud. But at the same time, it has also made the Chinese people lack distinct edges and corners, and become villains of smooth forces, lacking the motivation to study unknown things and explore unknown mysteries, but will only immerse themselves in their own world and be in the dream of "I am the boss".

Since history has changed.

Then we must never go back to the old path of feudal dynasty after a dynasty.

Every step that Qin took now is setting an example for future generations. Li Yuan hopes that when future generations mention Qin one day, what they can remember is not his name, but the laws and systems one by one, and the insights drawn from constant disputes, evaluating, then evaluating and then evaluating.

——.

The Qin State is undergoing changes day by day in the midst of change.

This is true for Qin State, and so is the Huns.

In this extremely cold and cold season, Li Yuan's biggest enemy, Maodun, Maodun, was braved by heavy wind and snow, marching on the vast snowfields in the north of Alkin Mountain.

Conquer and be conquered.

It is the eternal iron rule of the grassland nation. During the Spring and Autumn Period, the Xiongnu tribe was just an alliance of more than ten small tribes nomadic in the Hetao area. Through repeated conquests and fusions, this tribe gradually became stronger and defeated one powerful opponent after another on the grassland. This time, Maodun’s target was the Guirong tribe.

Gui Rong.

It was the Gaonu Gui Fang Jiu tribe who had been attacked by Li Yuan. After this tribe was expelled from the Wuding River area by the Qin army, the three surviving tribes began to migrate to the northwest area under the leadership of Wu Jinxi. In this process, they showed extraordinary tenacity and learning ability.

In the cold and cruel climate, the Guifang tribe gradually became the leader of the alliance by relying on the knowledge learned from the border with Qin State back then and interacted with more primitive and barbaric clan tribes.

Shanrong, Yanfeng, Huobao, Loufan, Dingling, these nomadic peoples that once appeared in Chinese history and finally disappeared into the long river of history. Some of the tribes that were unwilling to be annexed by the Huns began to merge with the Guifang tribe, and finally formed a Guirong tribe alliance with the totem of the tribe with "Aries" as the tribe.

Of course, the development direction of these small tribal alliances has long been far away from the south and north of the desert, and has moved to the north of the Alkin Mountains and the Ertzis River Basin. This river injected into the Arctic Ocean has nurtured one primitive tribe after another on the Siberian wilderness, and has also allowed the Aries tribe to gradually develop in difficult circumstances.

The one who led the revival of the Aries tribe was the witch Si Jinxi, who was persuaded to leave by the old leader of Guifang, Jiuhou. After experiencing the difficulties of tribal dislocation, she not only became beautiful, but also made the Great Shanyu Maodun miss him once he met. She also grew into an excellent tribe leader.

Primitive Age.

The competition between strength and wisdom runs through the entire process of matriarchal society and patriarchal society.

With his brute force and mind, Maodun annexed one tribe after another on the grassland to his own command, while Jin Xi focused more on wisdom and strategy. After seeing Li Yuan's tricks in the Great Destroyed Ghost Square tribe in Wuding River, Jin Xi used her lobbying to incorporate the weak tribe into her Aries Alliance.

During the development of the Aries tribe, the Huns' Khan Maodun coveted the beauty of Jinxi. In addition, the Alkin Mountain area was already the western border of the Huns. The north of the Alkin Mountain was full of primitive jungles, and only the hunting barbarians would stay there. Therefore, Maodun did not interfere with the expansion of the Aries tribe's power. When he retreated from Yan land, he suddenly discovered that a new opponent threatening the Huns had emerged in the west of his own.

With defense, when the Aries tribe is invading Qin in the future, the next step will cause trouble for itself. At the same time, it also wants to welcome Jin Xi, the woman he likes back to the royal court as soon as possible. Maodun decided to launch a sudden attack on Gui Rong.

Snowy night.

It is the best time for surprise troops to attack.

Maodun believes that after a peaceful autumn, the Guirong people have raised their cattle and sheep to be particularly strong. At this time, they will be huddled into the tent one by one, drinking hot cattle and goat milk, and dreaming of having a few more babies next year, without being wary of an enemy attacking.

This time, Maodun did not dispatch thousands of string control men as powerful as before, but learned the lessons that the team was too complicated when conquering Yan, which led to the defeat of each of the Qin troops. In addition, in order to prevent the leak of the news, Maodun did not inform other affiliated tribes and directly led 20,000 elite cavalry affiliated with his headquarters to raid for a long distance.

The best loot.

Of course, we have to leave it to ourselves, the cruel competition on the grassland does not require those hypocritical mutual humility.

Under the attack of the Hun cavalry, the various tribes of Guirong were defeated. Some tribes near Aljin Mountain were first destroyed by the clan, women were captured, old and weak, and men were killed by all ages over five. For a moment, Guirong Aries tribe fell into a bloody catastrophe.

When the news came, Wu Si Jinxi, who was receiving gifts from the envoys of the tribes, was shocked. She never expected that the Huns would be so sinister and chose to attack themselves in this extremely harsh weather.

Zhaisangbo.

The Aries Tribe Station located on the northern foot of the Alkin Mountains.

In the tent of the dome.

A noise.

Bai Guangji wore a fur and a small hat made of white fox fur. He stared coldly at the leaders of the Guirong tribes who were in panic. The envoys, who are now the masters of the small tribes migrating from Hexi to the north. This tribe belonged to the Xiaoyuezhi people. However, when the Huns and Qin people fought for control of Hexi, they decided to join the Guirong tribe north to avoid oppression.

Jin Xi reluctantly calmed down, glanced at everyone with a pale face, and asked, "The Huns are invading, and all the tribes are in charge. I dare to ask: How many warriors can our tribe gather in three days? Please report them one by one."

After hearing Jin Xi's question, the various tribes frowned one by one, and no one stood up for a long time. For these small tribes, the fierceness and cruelty of the Huns made them extremely afraid. If it weren't for the fact that the Huns' methods of annexing each tribe were too bloody, they wouldn't have defected to the Guirong tribe for asylum.

"Are there no men in your tribe? You are afraid and dare not fight. My Guifang tribe has had enough. This time, we will not escape again and will not move west again. We have decided to be here, and fight the Huns to the death in Zhaisangbo, the Great Lakes that raised us!"

Jin Xi's voice was sharp and high-pitched, with a little excitement and a little pride. From Maodun's previous proposals and this sudden attack, she realized that even if she fled westward, Maodun would not let her go. She was a person who was the only one who could do anything to achieve her goal.

"Witch King, our Qiang tribe in Hexi is willing to fight side by side with the Guifang and attack the Huns together!" Bai Guangji stepped forward and raised his sword over his head.

"Hexi Qiang, how many warriors do you have?" Jin Xi was overjoyed to help Bai Guangji up. Her words just came out of despair in her heart, and she never thought that a tribe would really respond.

"Report to the Witch King, there are 1,300 men who can fight against Hexi Qiang. In two days, you can arrive at Zhaisangbo and wait for the Witch King's orders." Bai Guangji replied loudly.

Jin Xi nodded excitedly. At this moment, in her eyes, the man in front of her who looked similar to the Qin people was the kind of person she admired the most.

Reliable, loyal.

When it is critical, you can stand up without considering life and death.
