Simulation becomes reality, have I ever looked down upon the eternity?

Chapter 201: The people are peaceful and healthy, the people are growing stronger, and the prosperous times are coming!
At the south gate of Yanjing, the crowd was surging like a long winding dragon.

Be it Qianyuan's delegation or the Korean envoys who came from afar, none of them showed any impatience. They just followed the team silently and waited patiently.

"A wall of earth and wood is not as good as a Great Wall built with the hearts of the people."

As soon as these words came out!
Yuwen Liqian, Xie Chunan and others were all lost in thought, with complex expressions in their eyes.

Wulong's eyes swept across Yanjing, and he became more and more certain.

If Qian Yuan wants to conquer the world, his strongest enemy is the Yan land and the King of Yan!
The empress has been diligent and unremitting over the years. She has personally taken the lead in farming, moved the capital south, built water conservancy projects, recruited talents, created imperial examinations in the north and south, and improved the status of commerce. This series of achievements can be praised as the work of a sage monarch in any Daqian era.

He will not be weaker than the King of Yan, and Daqian’s army is invincible in the world.

This is also the confidence in Wulong's heart!
Zou Lin also had complex emotions in his heart. As a citizen of Daqing, he always had a special feeling for the King of Yan.

During this era, the four countries were all recuperating, and the world situation seemed to be in a delicate and fragile balance.

He knew very well that with just the slightest friction, this land might be covered with beacon fire again, and the neighing of war horses would resound through the sky again.

The famous generals in the world may all be excited about this, looking forward to making achievements on the battlefield. The success of a general is the result of the sacrifice of hundreds of soldiers.

However, the suffering behind this is always borne by the people at the bottom of society.

Whether a country is prosperous or in decline, the people always suffer.

Just in time!
There was a sudden commotion among the crowd.

"It's the Zhuxie clan of the Great King's Court of the Shachi tribe." Someone exclaimed.

Everyone looked in the direction of the gaze and saw tall, dark horses coming towards them. The team was huge, with more than a hundred people.

The attire of these horse riders does not fit in with the people around them and makes them look extremely unique.

They are tall and majestic, more robust than most people, wearing coats made of fur grass, and each of them carries a bow and arrow on his back. Their skin is quite dark, their eyes are fierce, and they wear green gems on their foreheads. Their facial features are deep and three-dimensional.

The whole team exudes a fierce atmosphere!
They look neither like people from the Central Plains nor like the nomadic peoples of the north wind, but rather have a unique exotic style.

Wulong also recognized this group of people, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes!
"The Zhuxie clan!"

The knights of the Shachi tribe are famous throughout the world.

Back when Daqing was founded, the Shachi tribe emerged from the vast mountains in the north and followed Emperor Gaozu in his campaigns. They made great military achievements and were eventually granted the Shachi King's seal, enjoying glory for a time.

The Zhuxie clan is the royal family of the Shachi tribe and is extremely noble.

Emperor Gaozu even gave Zhu Xie the surname Zhou, and the two countries formed an eternal brotherly alliance with deep affection.

However, as the wheel of history rolls forward, the checks and balances between the strong and the weak are always difficult to escape.

The weak will be bullied!
When the north wind blew south, Shachi not only did not send troops to help, but took advantage of the situation and betrayed the alliance.

The King of Shachi of that generation even restored Zhu Xie's name, as if to completely erase the brotherhood between the two countries.

Wu Long thought to himself that although the Shachi Kingdom had only more than 900,000 people, everyone was good at fighting, and it was said that there were 300,000 soldiers who could wield bows.

Of course, most of that is bragging.

When fighting against Qianyuan, Shachi's soldiers were just as brave and heroic.

It can be said to be one of the strongest cavalry in the world.

Back then, the North Wind tried to conquer them. Their tribe was brave and good at fighting, but also extremely ferocious, like a pack of wolves in the mountains, and in the end he did not succeed.

Logically speaking, the people of the North should hate the Shachi Kingdom. But the people around him didn't seem to react much, which made Wu Long feel a little strange.

When the North Wind's delegation arrived in the North, they saw mostly resentment and dissatisfaction.

It seemed that he could see the doubts of Prince Qianyuan.

Among those present, the people who know Yan area best are definitely from Daqing.

Yu Wen Li Qian did remember it.

"I remember something happened in the north six years ago."

"After the pacification of the north and the White Horse Alliance of the four nations, the Shachi nation no longer dared to move south, but it did not annex the two nations."

Everyone nodded!
The White Horse Alliance was indeed a major event that changed the world. The signing of the alliance brought about earth-shaking changes in the world.

In addition to the fertile land and vast grasslands occupied by the four countries, there are hundreds of tribes and small countries on the borders.

There were more than a hundred nomadic tribes and small vassal states in the north, and this area was also called the "Northern Region".

When facing the countries in the Northern Territory, Beifeng and Yan both chose the policy of winning them over.

Some tribes or small countries respected the north wind, while others were close to Yan.

The most powerful among them is Shachi, who chooses a "fence-sitting" strategy towards both countries.

It took advantage of the north wind while maintaining an ambiguous relationship with Yan.

This delicate balance makes Shachi's position in the Northern Territory increasingly important and complex.

Until twelve years ago, King Shachi suddenly passed away.

Du Hui smiled and interrupted, "Princess, are you talking about the civil unrest in Shachi?"

Yuwen Liqian nodded slightly. This was indeed the first war after the White Horse Alliance, and the whole world had heard about it.

The cause of the incident was not complicated. After the death of the Khan of Shachi Kingdom, the eldest prince should have succeeded to the throne.

However, the Khan's favorite concubine found her lover and usurped the throne of the eldest prince.

The fifteen-year-old prince had no choice but to flee to Yan to study, where he spent five years.

"The eldest prince of Shachi studied in Yan for five years. He not only passed the imperial examination, but also became a county magistrate in Yan, got married and had children." Wu Long was amazed when he heard this. "It is unheard of that a citizen of another country can serve as an official in Yan!"

In Qianyuan, this situation is absolutely impossible.

Xie Chunan explained: "In Yan, as long as you pass the assessment of the Prince of Yan's Palace, no matter which country you are from, you have the opportunity to become an official. This has always been the tradition of Yan, and it is also the unique way of selecting talents in the Prince of Yan's Palace."

Du Hui continued: "In the sixth year, the Shachi Kingdom sent envoys to Yandi, demanding the surrender of the prince, otherwise they would succumb to the north as a threat. But Yandi did not hand over the prince, nor did it give any response."

Sha Chi was furious and, with the support of Bei Feng, he intercepted and killed the Yan merchant caravan on the trade route to the Northern Territory. Fortunately, one merchant escaped back to Yan and knocked on the door of the Prince of Yan's palace crying.

"More than a hundred people were killed, and the Shachi Kingdom even arrogantly dumped their heads on the border of Yandi, causing shock to Yandi."

"The Prince of Yan sent an envoy to negotiate, demanding that the Shachi Kingdom hand over the murderer who killed Shang Dui and compensate the caravan for its property. Unexpectedly, the envoy was not only shaved bald, but also driven out."

"So, the memorial from Prince Yan's Mansion was delivered to Mount Zhongnan, asking Prince Yan to make a decision."

"The next day, Zhongnan Mountain summoned the eldest prince of Shachi Kingdom to enter the mountain."

"On the third day, a letter with the words 'Shenzhou' on it landed at Mount Zhongnan."

When Yuwen Liqian heard this, he suddenly remembered that their pass was stamped with the private seal of the King of Yan.

The two words "Shenzhou" seem to be more convincing than the official seal of the Prince of Yan's Mansion.

Or rather, it is this person's name.

Du Hui spoke slowly: "In order to show its strong support for Sha Chi, Bei Feng has deployed 400,000 troops in the Northern Territory, watching closely."

He paused for a moment, and then continued, "At that time, Sha Chi also firmly believed that Yan would not start a war easily. After all, the northern region is all desert, the environment is extremely harsh, and it is not easy to find. If Yan sent troops, it would be a loss."

"Besides, all you need to do is hand over an insignificant prince."

Compared with Yan, Qianyuan is the most distant among all the countries, and its daily interactions are mainly with Han and Chu.

Wu Long didn't know much about the affairs of Yandi. He said frankly:
"Mr. Du, when did you learn to keep people in suspense like this? Tell me now, tell me now!"

He was particularly interested in these wars, especially the diplomatic strategies of various countries, which was also a demonstration of strength.

Du Hui looked at Wu Long and said with a smile: "There are actually only two sentences in this letter."

This made everyone listen attentively.

"Prince Shachi has a sincere heart, so we should help him restore his country."

"Anyone who offends the people under the rule of Yan will be punished no matter how far away they are."

When Wu Long heard this, he couldn't help but laugh:

"Prince Yan is really domineering!"

Du Hui continued, "So, the Yanbei Army sent 30,000 troops to the north, and the whole world was shocked. Everyone thought that this war would last for several years, because the northern region is hidden deep in the desert. Although Shachi is a country, it actually exists in the form of a tribe. They can flee with their families. It is also the end of the year when the weather is cold, and the terrain is complicated, making it extremely difficult to attack. This is also the reason why Shachi dares to provoke Yandi!"

Wulong seemed to have begun analyzing the situation of this battle. The Shachi Kingdom could take advantage of the situation and had the advantage of time and location.

It’s a tough battle indeed!
Xie Chunan knew the outcome of this battle.

"Unexpectedly, it only took forty-two days for the Yanbei Army to break through the Shachi Royal Court. The Shachi Royal Consort and his lover were all captured and taken to Yanjing for execution."

"The eldest prince of Shachi, who had been exiled for nearly seven years, wept bitterly and ascended the throne as Khan again. He changed the surname of the Zhuxie clan to Lu and even swore an oath that Shachi would no longer use swords or iron chains to attack Yan from now on."

"Yandi established the Northern Territory Commandery in the various countries of the Northern Territory and implemented benevolent policies. The various countries submitted and respected the King of Yan as the Khan of the Territory."

Wu Long was shocked and couldn't believe it.

It took only forty-two days to destroy a country. He was the famous Shachi.

Yu Wen Li Qian, however, sighed at the last three words.

"Earth Khan!"

This is a nomadic nation, a true honorific title used by various countries to address their suzerain state.

Du Hui smiled and said:
"It's ridiculous that the 400,000-strong Northern Territory army didn't move a single soldier or fire a single arrow."

Wulong guessed it, after all, there was the White Horse Alliance.

Bei Feng naturally did not dare to mobilize troops, otherwise the four countries would attack him together.

Yuwen Liqian looked at the more than one hundred Shachi knights not far away. They dismounted, knelt down at the south gate of Yanjing City, kissed the ground, and the leader shouted:
"Earth Khan!"

"Earth Khan!"

The cheers rose one after another, resounding through the sky.

Xie Lingxuan was lost in thought, and couldn't help but think about the past fifty years of the King of Yan.

He sought truth at a young age, became a general at the age of ten, and spent six years driving out foreign enemies and relieving the world of danger.

At forty, he became King of Yan and bestowed grace on the land of Yan.

He eliminated the threat from the north, defeated Sha Chi and subdued the countries in the western regions.

Beiyu County was established, and Beihai Lake was incorporated.

Leave the gardens and parks to the common people, be kind at home and the people will not rebel, and send troops abroad and the force will be measured.

"The people of China will be peaceful and prosperous, and all nations will live in harmony."

"The population of Qi increases year by year, and the territory is expanded from generation to generation."

Millions of people in Yandi shouted in this era:
"We are so lucky to be born in a prosperous era!"
