Chapter 132 The Destruction of the Three Fires

"This poet of the prosperous Tang Dynasty... I wonder how Du Gongbu compares to him?"

Kong Ming read it with great interest and commented on it.

He remembered that Guangmu said that Du Gongbu was his fan.

Especially the three visits to ask for advice on state affairs and the death before the mission was accomplished.

Kong Ming felt ashamed when he saw it.

It's a pity that Du Gongbu is hundreds of years older than him, otherwise he would have entertained him.

I wonder if Du Gongbu would see it if he wrote a letter "Thank you for your kindness" now?

But judging from the poems, Du Gongbu is talented and has the name of Gongbu, and he lived in the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

I guess he should have lived a good life?

I don't know what the prosperous times are like...

Kong Ming was actually a little envious when he remembered that Guangmu once commented that he "had never seen the prosperity of the Han Dynasty".

Zhang Fei laughed without hesitation:

"Hahaha, an emperor who has been in history for thousands of years actually has to recognize the emperor of a small country in troubled times as his ancestor."

"If Li Hong knew about this, he would have to hold a banquet in the underworld for a few days."

Guan Yu felt the same way:

"So what if the ancestor was prominent?"

"And Li Hong was posthumously recognized as the descendant of Li Guang..."

Guan Yu was familiar with history books and remembered clearly that because of Li Ling, the people of Longxi were all ashamed of him.

Jian Yong said quietly:

"General Yide is not mentioned, and the later generations will call him General Yunchang."

"But those with the surname Guan may recognize General Yunchang as their ancestor."

The target was changed to himself, Guan Yu thought for a while and said: "It seems not bad..."

"Hey, I remember!" Zhang Fei shouted:

"During the chaotic period of the Sixteen Kingdoms, there was a posthumous recognition of Adou..."

Guan Yu was quick-witted and stuffed a persimmon cake into Zhang Fei's mouth:

"Eat more, third brother!"

[In fact, when it comes to Longyou, if anyone has been there to play, they often feel that it doesn't match.

The Hexi Corridor today is roughly in the direction of Tianshui-Lanzhou-Xining-Zhangye-Jiayuguan.

The biggest feeling of the self-driving tour is only two words: desolate.

Now it is generally called the Gobi Desert, so there will be an illusion.

Did the Li Tang royal family start from here? Did the establishment of the empire start from eating sand?

The prime minister went to Qishan six times just to fight for this barren land? 】

The image on the screen quickly passed by, and all you could see was a large area of ​​wasteland.

"Is this Longyou?" Kong Ming was surprised.

Kong Ming had never been there, but Longyou should not be like this.

"This is not Longyou!" Li Shimin was sure.

Xue Ju and Xue Rengao were conquered by him personally, and he was very familiar with Longyou, and it was not like this.

【The Han Dynasty opened up the Hexi Corridor, thus the Silk Road was established.

The Tang Dynasty established Longyou Pasture on the basis of the Sui Dynasty, which was one of the largest officially operated pastures in Chinese history.

Regardless of which family, Han, Sui, or Tang, described the Hexi Corridor in the same way:

The water and grass were lush and green.

Because of its good natural conditions, the Hexi Corridor began to be developed during the Han Dynasty.

From the end of the Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms to the Sui Dynasty, many people moved to Longyou because of the continuous wars in the Central Plains.

Because there are Longdao and Tongguan here, even if there is a war, it can remain relatively stable, which also formed a big family in Longyou.

The Tang Dynasty set off a climax of developing Longyou. After the establishment of the four towns of Anxi, they "recruited Shandong men every year" and gave money to settle the people.

But during the Kaiyuan period, the desertification of the Hexi Corridor was quite serious.

"The population gradually decreased, and the sand dunes were leisurely from Liangzhou."

The Maowusu Desert that we eliminated by planting trees a few years ago was almost formed during this period.

Reclamation caused the Hexi Corridor to begin to desertify rapidly, and in the end, what the Ming Dynasty faced was no longer the Hexi Corridor, but the Hexi Desert.

Therefore, the Ming Dynasty's choice to manage the southwest and north was also a helpless move. The desert blocked the road, and even if it was fought, it would be completely unprofitable.

The result of the Ming Dynasty's management of the northeast was that it managed to produce Nurhaci, the Dragon and Tiger General, and finally achieved the posthumous title of Ming Huaizong. 】

The light curtain no longer showed the desirable city that never sleeps. The picture quickly passed by, and what can be seen is a barren land.

The stones and land are exposed, and growing on them are low shrubs that are very drought-resistant at first glance.

There are no grasslands, the rivers are narrow, the population is sparse, and the people are exhausted.

This is Longyou, which is completely different from what Li Shimin saw. He looked at the desert in the light curtain.

"The Tang Dynasty left such a disaster for future generations?"

Li Shimin felt a little unacceptable.

The truth seems simple, but it is usually too lazy to think about it.

Du Ruhui sighed:

"It only takes half a day for people to cut down a tree, and it takes ten years for a seedling to grow into a tree."

"On the contrary." Li Shimin thought very clearly at this moment:

"If the so-called desertification of the Hexi Corridor can be suppressed, the Hexi Corridor can become the foundation of the Tang Dynasty for eternity!"

As a general, Li Shimin understands the importance of supplies.

"If the Hexi Corridor gradually becomes like a light curtain, it will take several times more food and grass from Chang'an to the Western Regions."

"On the contrary, if there are important towns and big cities in Hexi as now, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, then the local people can be drawn as soldiers."

The difference between the two is too big.

"This matter needs to be discussed." Li Shimin instructed:

"After the New Year's Day holiday, decide on a policy to destroy the desert and submit it to me for review."

The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is only in his early thirties now, and the last thing he lacks is the ability to take action.

Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, obeyed the order.

Changsun Wuji lowered his eyebrows and said nothing. He is now in a state of being dismissed and knows how to avoid suspicion.

Li Jing was smiling. As a general, he didn't need to worry about this.

…

Kong Ming remembered the sigh of everyone in the class:

Cutting down trees is sometimes forbidden, and floods and droughts may not be caused by this.

But this time the light screen gave a real answer: the flood and drought disasters started from this point.

Taking a breath, Kong Ming said softly:

"Such a matter is a thousand-year plan, so there is no need to rush it."

"You can wait until the Cao thieves are defeated before slowly formulating policies."

Liu Bei nodded in approval and said with appreciation:

"At the beginning of this year, the people in the public security department said that the ink cakes are a good thing for winter."

"The price is cheaper than charcoal, and it will keep you warm longer than charcoal."

Mi Zhu knew this very well and said:

"Nowadays, some frugal families are using ink cakes to cook meals. Every time a bucket of ink cakes is used, one less tree will be cut down, which will be a blessing to the descendants."

"It's just that more and more ink cakes are used nowadays, and the price of coal purchased from Jiangdong has gradually increased."

"My lord, it is also advisable to take Chengdu quickly and search for coal in Sichuan. Otherwise, this winter, the people may not have any ink cakes to use."

Liu Bei nodded repeatedly: "I know."

[The conversation became a little more diffuse.

In short, at the time of the Prime Minister, the Hexi Corridor was still a complete treasure.

Although Ma Su died, everyone has been regretting the Prime Minister for thousands of years. Why?

Because as long as Ma Dijie Pavilion is not lost, it means that Ji Han can complete the takeover of Longyou.

Longyou, which is not deserted, can become Ji Han's own horse farm, and he can try to form cavalry to harass Guanzhong!

Moreover, Longyou is to the west of Guanzhong, and Hanzhong is to the south of Guanzhong. Under attack from both sides,

Ji Han can completely switch to strategic offense.

So what everyone sighs is because what Ma Di lost was never just a street pavilion.

Capture Cao Wei’s advance base,

Seeking unified strategic support,

Ji Han's final important opportunity,

An important guarantee for the revival of the Han Dynasty.

How can we not let people sigh with regret when everything is lost at the hands of Ma Su!

Moreover, it would be easier for the Prime Minister if he could switch to a strategic attack.

Maybe you don't have to work so hard and sleep all night, and maybe you can live longer.

Then history would be completely different.

It's a pity that there is no if in history.

In 228 AD, Ma Di, who led the army for the first time, held the fire of Ji Han's three prosperity in his hand.

Then he grabbed it. 】

Zhang Fei's face became interested again and became extremely kind:

"Ma Youchang, you are familiar with military books. Come and tell me."

"If the street pavilion is not lost, can what the light screen said happen?"

Ma Su couldn't help but take a step back, and Liushen Wuzhu couldn't help but cast his eyes on his brother.

But Ma Liang didn't seem to hear it at all, and was lowering his head to sort out the recorded words.

"Ma Youchang, tell me." Zhang Fei took a step forward.

Still Liu Bei couldn't stand it anymore and shook his head and said:

"Yide, there is no need to embarrass Ma Su."

"Okay brother." Zhang Fei immediately turned his head as if nothing happened just now.

Huang Zhongze felt a little pity:

If General Zilong were here, he would definitely be very interested in Longyou.

Excellent horse farm!

Huang Zhong had heard General Zilong complain more than once that the horses purchased from Jiangdong were both short and expensive.

Kong Ming's face was expressionless, and he was even slightly happy in his heart:

Fortunately, I don't have to suffer the same fate as Prime Minister Zhuge in the light curtain.

Years of plans have suddenly come to naught, and just thinking about it makes me vomit blood in depression.

[Then let’s stop here first for today’s issue. After all, this issue is already long enough.

The next issue's trailer is "Stars Falling in Wuzhangyuan". There will be a mysterious figure in the next issue, so stay tuned. 】

〖The long term of this issue is really long, and the short term is also really short!

Prime Minister Ziwugu was so cautious when planning the plan, why did he take such risks at a critical moment like Jieting?

Indeed, the Northern Expedition cannot make a single mistake. After all, Cao Cao lost Guanzhong in Longxi, lost Wanluo in Guanzhong, retreated to Hebei without Wanluo, and lost Huainan in Hebei. The prime minister's cards were too small.

How can there be so many escape routes? Do you think that I, the King of Wei and Wu, will die?

King Wu of the Wei Dynasty should first find a way to get past Hefei.

Looking at it this way, it's a deadlock. Use the weak to attack the strong. If you fail to achieve quick death with a strange move, the safest way is to die slowly.

Ma Su in the novel is even stronger than Ma Su in the official history. This is really not good in history.

Please don’t describe Ma Di with words on paper. Zhao Kuo can hold off Bai Qi’s fierce attack for more than a month. Zhao Kuo can force Qin to use all the strength of the country. Zhao Kuo can personally attack and eventually die in battle. Zhao Kuo can make Bai Qi evaluate his victory as a miser. Ma Di Okay, let me ask you?

Indeed, if Ma Di had been under Zhao Kuo, he would have been the first to be hacked to death.

Uncle Liu Huang died in Tianzhi Lingqi: I said it all!

I admit that Your Excellency Uncle Liu Huang's last words were profound, but if I say "dislike", how should you respond? 〗

I wrote about the environment after thinking about it.

Deforestation in ancient times resulted in what we now know as the Gobi Desert and Loess Plateau. It is better to pay attention early than not to pay attention at all.

And the desertification in Longyou is actually a reminder to the prime minister.
