Chapter 1152

After Su Fan left Zhang Jiao's side, he also began to travel in the Liu Han Dynasty of the Jiuzhou; he did not look for Zhuge Wuhou for the first time.

The Liu Han Dynasty, compared to the Great Qin, now the area of the dynasty has also shrunk a lot, and many places in the south and north have been occupied by those Man-Yue tribes.

During the Great Qin period, the barbarian tribes of the northern grasslands and their affiliated Xiongnu were always harassing the Great Qin.

The barbarian tribes are also ancient tribes, and the Xiongnu possess their bloodline, with more people.

In the southern Nanyue land, there are also some Nanyue clans that do not submit to the royal transformation; in reality, they are all considered half-human bloodlines.

During the Yin-Shang period, these were always being conquered, and during the Great Qin period, they were suppressed even more, and could only linger in those poor mountains and bad waters.

However, after the Great Qin dissipated, these Nanyue tribes began to run out.

Whether it is the barbarian tribes, Xiongnu, or Nanyue, they are the same as the Human tribe; the spiritual energy of the Jiuzhou is getting weaker and weaker, and their transcendent beings are getting fewer and fewer.

However, these barbarian tribes and Nanyue tribes live in harsh environments, so naturally, their physical fitness is stronger than that of the Human tribe in the Central Plains.

So after the Great Qin dissipated, the Liu Han Dynasty was always harassed by the Northern Land and Nanyue; when the Liu Han was established, the northern barbarian tribes almost broke through the Northern Great Wall.

If it were not for the Great Wall built by the Great Qin, and there were countless immortals adding rune Daoist arts, making the Great Wall extremely tough.

I fear the Xiongnu on the northern grasslands would have already hit the Central Plains.

At that time, the Liu Han had just established the Liu Han, and the national strength at that time could not be considered very powerful; after all, during the period when the Great Qin disappeared, various ambitious people jumped out, and the Liu Han finally seized the world, but its power was also weakened a lot.

If it were not for the barbarian tribes of the Northern Land being killed by Meng Tian of the Great Qin back then, if they had not run fast and fled to the northern wilderness, I fear the barbarian tribes would have been exterminated.

Once the barbarian tribes were exterminated, then the various tribes on the northern grasslands, losing the support of this transcendent tribe, would be difficult to be the opponent of the Central Plains.

The number of barbarian tribes is rare, but their individual strength is very powerful; adult barbarian tribes have at least the power of Golden Core.

However, fortunately, with the dissipation of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the bloodline of these barbarian tribes has also dropped sharply; they are actually not much different from demon beasts.

And the Xiongnu, as the largest tribe on the northern grasslands, inherited the most barbarian bloodline; of course, there are also transcendent beings, but the number cannot compare with the barbarian tribes.

The barbarian tribes are the nobles and priests of the Xiongnu, such power-holders.

The population of the Xiongnu is not small; even if it cannot compare with the Human tribe in the Central Plains, with constant reproduction, it is not bad.

However, fortunately, the Northern Great Wall blocks their invasion of the Central Plains.

And later, when the Liu Han's strength reached its peak, it also sent troops to the northern grasslands many times, beating the various tribes on the northern grasslands until they ran around and had to submit to the Liu Han.

However, this was only temporary and could not exterminate the various tribes on the northern grasslands; the Liu Han Dynasty's strength has weakened, and now they have begun to infringe on the northern border again.

Su Fan came to the Northern Land, and at the beginning, he was also preparing to examine a few talents.

In the current Liu Han Dynasty, the true military generals are, in reality, mostly in the Northern Land.

After all, the Central Plains have been peaceful for too long, and without war, there are naturally no military talents.

Most martial generals can only exchange their talents after experiencing many wars; without experiencing war, how can they become talents?

As for peerless geniuses like Zhuge Wuhou, they are still very few.

The Northern Land has been rubbing and fighting with the various tribes on the northern grasslands for these years, so the imperial army of the Northern Land is the most elite army of the Liu Han Dynasty, and the military officers here are also true talents.

It is not like Luoyang, those straw bags who rely on family status to get ahead.

Of course, it cannot be said that all families are straw bags; after all, family children are cultivated from childhood.

In history, those feudal lords at the end of the Han Dynasty, the two Yuan brothers, although they both failed, can it be said that both were straw bags?

Even Yuan Shu, who was evaluated as "bones in a tomb," was not really a waste.

The feudal lords at the end of the Han Dynasty, after Dong Zhuo's defeat, Yuan Shu was the number one feudal lord; even Yuan Shao could not compare with Yuan Shu.

You can say that he relied on the Yuan family to get such a large foundation; this indeed has this aspect of reasons.

But if Yuan Shu were truly a waste, it would be absolutely impossible to get the support of so many people in the Yuan family; one must know that the Yuan family also had others at that time, not to mention Yuan Shao's ability.

Yuan Shu was indeed the legitimate son, but if he were truly not good, the Yuan family would absolutely not have forced him to stand out; after all, they were in troubled times at that time, and the Yuan family had already taken the field and participated in the struggle for the dragon; once they failed, the blow to the Yuan family could be imagined.

So the high-level members of the Yuan family would absolutely not let a waste stand out.

Yuan Shu could be said to have been glorious in the early stage, and his ability was absolutely not bad.

At his peak, he occupied Yangzhou, Yuzhou, Sili, and a small part of Jingzhou; even the Sun family relied on Yuan Shu in the early stage.

Before Sun Jian, he was also under Yuan Shu's command; Yuan Shu once presented Sun Jian as the Nanyang Prefect.

After Sun Jian died, Sun Ce was a martial general under Yuan Shu. And later, Tao Qian and Lv Bu also relied on Yuan Shu.

It can be said that in the south at that time, Yuan Shu had no one to match him.

Of course, it was precisely because of this that Yuan Shu swelled, viewing the world as nothing, and before proclaiming himself emperor, he began to be incompetent, not striving to enhance his own strength, and squandering excessively.

And after proclaiming himself emperor, it was even more so.

In this way, he lost popular sentiment, and at the same time, because of proclaiming himself emperor, it made Lv Bu and Sun Ce leave him.

As for the officials under his command, many were also alienated.

After all, the Great Han at that time, even though it had entered the end of the dynasty, had been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people for four hundred years; whether it was the bottom-level people or the officials at that time, everyone still thought they were officials of the Great Han.

The Yuan family's students were indeed all over the world, but so what? His Yuan family was the Four Generations and Three Excellencies of the Great Han; people recognized him, but once he wanted to replace the Great Han, it was different.

Popular sentiment turned away, and naturally, he brought about his own destruction.

Compared to this, Yuan Shao was at least better, but unfortunately, his own internal contradictions were heavy; after all, the foundation was large, coupled with his personality not being decisive, and he met Cao Cao, this top-tier figure in history.

But in any case, these feudal lords at the end of the Han Dynasty were almost all from families and powerful clans.

Perhaps only Liu Bei and Lv Bu did not count.

Liu Bei, although surnamed Liu, was in reality more miserable than a poor family, and Lv Bu, that went without saying.

Why, clearly occupying a not-small foundation, was it of no use? Especially occupying Xuzhou, and finally being defeated easily.

Because besides the army, the local area of Xuzhou did not recognize him at all.

Whether it was the people or the local scholar-officials, they did not recognize him.

And the power of the people was too weak; at that time, only the local scholar-officials and powerful clans were the power to rely on, but unfortunately, Lv Bu did not have it.
