Chapter 89: Those Who Enter China Become China
At this time, under the Han flag, the leader Liu Heng was looking intently into the distance.
Zhang Liang and Fan Kuai were on both sides. Looking at the barbarian cavalry gathered opposite, Liu Heng said to Zhang Liang with some hesitation:
"Prime Minister, do we really want to conquer these people?"
His father has gone to Da Qin, and he is now the actual controller.
Zhang Liang was his prime minister and Fan Kuai was his general.
Originally, half of the land of the Han Dynasty was to be taken away by the Qin Dynasty in exchange for the legitimacy of the throne, so they could only expand westward.
But after arriving here and finding the opponent's main force, Zhang Liang made suggestions to conquer these people.
Zhang Liang nodded and said calmly:
"We have now lost half of our land and manpower and must be replaced. These people who do not have their own traditions are our best choice."
If the Han Dynasty wants to truly rise, it must have a sufficient population. Population is the most precious wealth.
Liu Heng frowned and said:
"But these people, even if they are white, have mottled hair and a lot of unpleasant smells on their bodies, just like wild beasts."
"We are Chinese. If we get together with these people, wouldn't we mess up the root cause?"
He has been in contact with these people over the years. Their skin is quite white, but their hair of various colors is dazzling.
The most unacceptable thing is that these people have an unpleasant smell that cannot be washed away.
It's not as warm and cool as jade like the Chinese people, some people even have a scent on them.
So in his eyes, it was really hard for him to accept merging with these beasts.
Fan Kuai smiled and said:
"Good nephew, you are a bit wrong. The women of these people are really...hehehehe."
Before Fan Kuai finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhang Liang.
"Your Highness, in the whole world, only the people around China look like us. The other places are indeed different."
"But we have no other choice. If we want to do big things, we can't limit ourselves to these small details."
"Furthermore, even Da Qin's book says that as long as you practice Chinese etiquette, wear Chinese clothes, and your heart belongs to China, you will be a member of China."
When Zhang Liang said these words, he actually felt a little painful in his heart.
Over the years, he was completely unprepared for these books, but he did not expect that his escape would be cut off by Great Qin.
Even if I come out now, I can't live without him.
Even if he wants to take revenge on Da Qin, he can only do so in the name of fighting for Chinese orthodoxy, unless he completely abandons Chinese tradition.
But in this way, without the cohesion of China, a small country like Han Dynasty that relied on force could easily fall apart.
This is the importance of culture and tradition!
Hearing this, Liu Heng could only nod his head, but still said:
"It's just that these barbarians are stubborn and may not surrender so easily."
There was a hint of chill in Zhang Liang's eyes, and he said coldly:
"Your Highness, this is why we brought the army."
He has always been tough on these barbarians.
Liu Heng no longer hesitated at this time and said to Fan Kuai beside him:
"Please invite uncle to fight."
Fan Kuai laughed loudly and said:
"Let's see how I can teach these people a lesson."
After saying that, he rushed out at the forefront, and soon the Han army behind him also attacked.
Soon the other party also responded. On the grassland, the main force of both sides was naturally cavalry.
But after the Han cavalry, there were some carriages pulling carriages. On top of the carriages were large crossbows!
They have already made improvements over the years.
Soon the cavalry in front were close at hand. Just when they were about to make contact, the Han cavalry in the front row almost made a unified movement and directly threw out the sky thunder purchased from Da Qin.
They all brought charcoal sealed in a bamboo tube, which could keep it burning for a while.
It doesn't matter if some of them are extinguished, they will always be ignited by other thunders.
The barbarian cavalry have long been accustomed to this. The distance between them and their companions is widely spread, and the whole person is lying on the horse.
In this way, there will be fewer casualties when it explodes.
Sure enough, an explosion soon sounded, and a burst of people fell on their backs in the barbarian cavalry camp.
Before they could recover, the Han cavalry had already charged in!
The two sides fought together, and bursts of roars and wailings suddenly sounded on the battlefield!
Soon both sides suffered casualties, but the casualties of the barbarian cavalry were much higher than those of the Han.
Because in addition to being unilaterally bombarded by thunder, the weapons and equipment of the barbarians were far inferior to those of the Han.
But fortunately, they have enough cavalry. After all, no matter whether they are old or young, as long as they have a horse and a sword, they are a cavalry.
Just watching the people of his tribe being slaughtered like animals, the tribal leader's heart was bleeding.
But this time they were found where the entire tribe was, and they couldn't back down.
Otherwise, the retreat will turn into a rout, and more people will die.
Of course, they are no longer fighting alone. The tribal leader said with a bit of sadness and anger to the man next to him who was wearing neat armor:
"You have also seen these oriental weapons, but if you haven't taken action yet, do you want us all to die?"
"Or do you Romans have no intention of helping us?"
The other party was an envoy sent by Rome, accompanied by two thousand elite Roman cavalry.
The Roman envoy looked at the battlefield ahead with a serious expression at this time. He was shocked by the thunderous explosion just now.
After coming back to his senses, he slowly said:
"Let your people increase their offensive power and attract their attention, and our people will have a chance."
This time, he was sent by the Senate to contact those people, so that he would not bleed for these barbarians. If he was not worried that these people would be directly defeated, he would not take action.
So letting these people share the opponent's offensive pressure is the right choice.
Hearing this, the tribal leader couldn't help but show a trace of sadness. He naturally understood what the other party meant.
But at this time, he had no other choice but to order:
"Let those old guys rush forward."
An old little leader next to him nodded, then picked up a weapon as old as his own, mounted an old horse, and said loudly:
"attack!"
Behind him were countless equally old cavalrymen.
But no one responded to the shouts of the little leader, because they wanted to save their own little physical strength. Soon everyone was silent and determined, and rushed towards the fierce cavalry of the Han Dynasty.
At this time, Zhang Liang frowned slightly as he looked at the battlefield in front of him.
There was something slightly wrong with the reaction of these barbarians today. The opponent's counterattack was too strong, as if they were sending themselves to death.
After thinking for a while, Zhang Liang quickly said:
"Get the carriage, crossbow and rocket ready, and..."
But before he could finish his words, a burly spy rushed over and loudly reported:
"Your Highness, an unknown cavalry was found ten miles to the side of our army and is coming quickly!"
Hearing this, Zhang Liang's expression suddenly changed!
