The words "Fengbian" and "establishment of a country" are really extraordinary to the Guo brothers.

Because Guo Peng established hegemony until he finally achieved the imperial career, he used the feudal state as the initial turning point.

The country that Guo Peng first established was a principality, the Duchy of Wei.

Then after a series of games and struggles, the Duchy of Wei became the Kingdom of Wei and eventually became the Empire of Wei.

Guo Peng jumped up step by step, accumulating merits from the Guannei Hou and Lehou in the Han Empire system step by step, and finally became a real military aristocrat with real titles. Based on this, he was successfully awarded the title of Duke.

This is his path.

As his sons, they should not re-take their father's path. They were born to stand on their father's shoulders and continue to move forward without having to retreat. They could be directly awarded the title of Duke.

It is even possible to be crowned kings with them. This is how the former Han treats his royal family.

Guo Peng planned to enfeoff his children in these unofficial lands, let them become the masters of these places, let them enfeoff states, establish priests, and become real kings.

The land that Guo Peng arranged for Guo Jun was on the rich land of India, South Asian subcontinent.

In history, India basically has no regime that completely unified the South Asian subcontinent. South India and North India are far apart, and ethnic language, civilization traditions and living customs are almost completely different.

It is as if the Kushan Empire is currently ruling some areas in northern India, but there are many small countries and local countries in other parts of India, and there is no unified regime.

The so-called "Shidu Kingdom" in China is actually a geographical noun, not a regime synonym. It is not that India really has a unified "Shidu Empire" in it, but just a geographical antonym, transliterated from ancient Chinese.

Without a unified regime, it means that the power is dispersed and it is very easy to conquer.

Give Guo Jun an army, and he can sweep all the way with his elite army, eliminate those small countries with a large number of countries, quickly crush them with absolutely strong force, quickly expand the occupied areas, and soon, he can have the territory to establish a country.

Guo Peng decided to let Guo Jun lead a part of the population of the Wei Empire to land in southern India.

After gaining a foothold in southern India, it began to build a city-state, and the establishment of one city after another gradually advanced northward, eliminating small countries and local states along the way, and gradually expanding its sphere of influence.

Starting from point to surface, starting from city-states, we finally establish a Han civilized country.

This may not be something that Guo Jun can do alone, it cannot be done in decades. It will take more than a hundred years of hard work for generations to achieve.

However, it was not difficult for Guo Jun to build a small country with several or ten cities during his lifetime.

"Wei State belongs to your brother, and here, it belongs to you. For your father, you will give you all the help you need, the army, population, materials, and technology, to help you gain a foothold."

Guo Peng patted Guo Jun on the shoulder: "Then, you need to use local resources to develop yourself and build your own country. This is why you have worked hard for your father to study and work hard for you. This is very important.

You have to learn these and master these to become the founder of a country. Although you cannot stay in Wei, you can show off your strength in other places, and you can also be the founding king, but you are not in Wei."

What Guo Peng said is really too strange.

Without a trace of defense, Guo Jun was suddenly told that he would leave Wei State, go to a foreign country to fight, and create his own country.

In a strange place where you have never met, you can create your own foundation and build your own country.

this……

Is my father kidding?

Is this just a joke?

Guo Jun looked at Guo Peng and confirmed that he was not joking.

Because his eyes were very serious.

"Ajun, don't think you are joking with you for your father, but you are seriously discussing with you for your father."

Guo Peng said: "I have been fighting for my father for many years and have summarized a rule. If the distance between the political cores of two countries exceeds three months of travel, then there will be no large-scale disputes and military conflicts in these two countries."

"this……"

Guo Jun was shocked and didn't know how to express his emotions.

But Guo Peng didn't give him more time.

Guo Peng began to explain his ideas to him.

"Before this, there were two modes of governing this territory in our Central Plains Empire, one was feudal and the other was counties. The so-called feudalism, as the name suggests, was to establish a country, and to use the fifth-class title of Duke, Bozinan to grant meritorious officials a title of country.

Let the princes govern the local area, the emperor occupies the central government, and rule all the princes. This is indirect rule. On the basis of very slow transportation and communication, this model is conducive to expanding the country's territory.

But the problem is that once the traffic improves and the exchanges between the two countries become closer, conflicts and confrontations will occur, and then annexation wars will occur.

County and counties first appeared in the Warring States Period and were promoted by the Qin State. Compared with the indirect feudal rule, counties and counties have direct rule, greatly expanding the emperor's power and enhancing centralization.

This model can eliminate local princes and prevent the princes from splitting the country. The so-called stolen princes and transforming the princes into county officials will also require a system of official transfer. Then county officials will be limited by their power and cannot merge.

These two models were practiced in Zhou and Qin. Zhou lasted for a long time, but his power was lost and he lost all his status as the Emperor of Zhou. Qin was the last victor, but died in the second lifetime.

Finally, in the Pre-Han period, it was difficult for Liu Bang and his ministers to decide whether the feudal system is better or the county system is better. After a period of entanglement and war, he chose to go hand in hand and adopt the county system and feudal system at the same time."

Guo Peng took Guo Jun's hand and led him forward slowly, explaining slowly as he walked.

"Liu Bang believes that the parallel state of counties can realize the advantages of feudalism and county system at the same time, and can ensure that Liu Han's country is immortal. However, facts have proved that whether it is the feudalism of the kings of different surnames or the feudalism of the kings of the same surname, it eventually triggered wars.

Later, after Emperor Wu of Han, the world was actually dominated by counties and feudalism. However, in the late Han Dynasty, Wang Mang usurped the throne, leading to the destruction of the early Han Dynasty. After the founding of the Later Han Dynasty, everyone believed that too many royal families were restricted, which would lead to the situation where no one stood up to defend the Han Dynasty when Wang Mang usurped the throne.

Therefore, in the Later Han Dynasty, the parallel states still existed, but the parallel states of the Later Han Dynasty were more simply and completely deprived of real power than the previous Han Dynasty. Taking the prime minister as the actual head, there was no real power to be granted the king. Then, now, we are the State of Wei."

Guo Peng stopped and looked at Guo Jun.

Guo Jun nodded as if he had understood something.

"Father, our Wei State is a simple county and no feudal state. Therefore, my father believes that counties are better than feudal states, so that no one of the royal family members was granted a king, and there are very few people who have been granted a title to a prince?"

"Ajun, many things are not that simple, good or bad. The emperor is above the king. If you have a title, there is no way forward except being an emperor. This will breed people's ambitions, so it is impossible for your father to refuse to be a king for anyone."

Guo Peng shook his head: "Counties and counties may not be better than feudalism in all respects, and feudalism may not be all shortcomings. To sum up for the father, counties are conducive to ruling the existing territory, while feudalism is conducive to expanding territory."

"I see……"

Guo Jun nodded slightly.

"It's not only that. My father thinks that Liu Bang's idea is correct. Feudalism has the need to exist, and counties have the need to exist. Cleverly setting it up at the same time can allow counties and feudalism to coexist, further push the national power to an unrivaled level."

"Can this still happen?"

"sure."

Guo Peng nodded and said, "But there is an important premise, which determines everything. But Liu Bang did not grasp this important premise, so that the Han Dynasty's counties and states could only be seen in parallel. It would be a complete failure, but instead cause harm to himself."

"What premise?"

Guo Jun hurriedly asked.

“Three months.”

Guo Peng said, "It is what my father told you that the three-month distance between the capitals of two countries must be such a distance.

Only if this distance exceeds this, can the parallel states between the sect leader and the fiefdoms be achieved. If this distance does not exceed this distance, the parallel states will inevitably fail, causing civil unrest."

Guo Jun frowned.

Guo Peng took him to the small stone table in the other courtyard, spread the map on it, pointed to the map and said, "With Luoyang imperial capital as the core, it extends from all directions, and uses all means. Any place that can be reached within three months is Wei Tu.

Within this scope, you cannot be feudal. Once feudal, it will be fine in the short term. In the long run, it will definitely be a way to cause disaster. Outside this scope, you can be feudal and feudal.

Whether it is a royal family or a hero, it is relatively safe. As long as there is no major change in traffic, the feudal state will not have conflicts with the sect leader and emperor, and can live in peace and exist together."

Guo Jun has never heard of such a statement.

"Why three months?"

"Because of the lack of successors, it takes more than three months to dispatch troops to arrive at the destination. The army's spirit is exhausted, and logistics supply has become a major problem. I cannot continue and can only retreat. This is the extreme wall of the empire, and it is an insurmountable wall of the empire under the county system."

Guo Peng said firmly: "It was not until Liu Bang realized this that he enfeoffed the country in the Central Plains and a place where he could reach within three months from Chang'an, thinking that this would better protect the central government.

It is hard to predict. The fence of the country can protect the central government, but after having real power, it can rebel or resist the central government. Of course, his son will not resist his father's existence, but what if he dies?

Even if the three months away, even if the central empire cannot be protected, it will enter the end when it needs to be protected. Whether to protect is not very meaningful, and changing dynasties is the issue that should be considered, so Liu Bang made such a mistake.
