In the Tang Dynasty, Li Bai once wrote "Youth Journey": "When I was young in Wuling, east of the gold market, I rode the spring breeze with a white horse with a silver saddle. Wherever I traveled after all the fallen flowers, I laughed into the Orchid wine shop."
It shows that from the Han Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, these mausoleums near Chang'an were still intact, and even looked like gold-selling caves, attracting these young people in Wulingyuan, who were wearing bright clothes and angry horses, to enjoy the spring flowers and get drunk with thousands of cups.
Spending millions of dollars to indulge in the joy of life is quite a bit like the feeling that later generations would drive all kinds of bull-headed and horse-faced faces to seduce lonely souls and wild ghosts under the cover of night.
Chang'an City has city walls, but strictly speaking it is more like an inner city, which belongs to the political center, administrative offices, and royal palaces. The tombs scattered around Chang'an are the areas where ordinary people live.
Wuling, uh, Wuling, does not mean that there are only five mausoleums, but five that are relatively famous near Chang'an, north of the Wei River, distributed from east to west: Yangling, Changling, Anling,
Pingling and Maoling. Among these mausoleums, Changling, built by Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty, is the most grand.
These mausoleums are independent small cities with different sizes. And because the main residents of these mausoleums at the beginning were descendants of the founding heroes and the original Qi and Chu nobles, it was a political migration. Later emperors
In various ways adapted to the situation at that time, high-ranking officials, rich people and heroes from all over the world moved their families to Lingyi. Of course, there were also a certain number of people who advocated excellence and music and "chaotic people".
If the wealthy people who migrated at that time were converted into the level of later generations, most of them would probably be considered tens of millions or hundreds of millions. Therefore, the wealth brought by these people made Wuling quickly become the economic center of the entire Han Dynasty...
Today, there are more than 30,000 households in Changling, more than 40,000 households in Maoling, and 10,000 households in Anling. The rest of the tombs vary. It can be said that these tombs have built the foundation of Chang'an, and Sima Yi and others
What people have to do now is to tamp down these floating foundations, or to remove some weeds growing between the foundation stones and uproot them.
"There is a beauty in the north, peerless and independent..."
Sima Yi slowly sat on the horse, staggering forward, even squinting his eyes slightly, singing softly, like a young man from Wuling preparing for a spring outing, relaxed and carefree, "... once you look at the Qingren City, then look again
Overwhelming the country..."
The sound of horse hooves is rolling like thunder.
Sima Yi has been in the desert for a long time, and his archery skills are somewhat beyond praise, but his riding skills have been improved to a certain extent. Even now, Sima Yi feels that sitting on a horse is more comfortable than sitting in a car...
On horseback, I'm used to it.
Habit is a very scary thing.
Some habits are good, and some habits are bad.
But habits are hard to change, especially after they change from habit to nature.
"It's almost dawn..." Sima Yi glanced at the horizon and sneered, "Are these silverfish especially in dreams?"
Small habits or personal nature may not be harmful at ordinary times. For example, if someone likes to drink a little wine while eating, there is no problem. However, if someone drives after drinking, there will be a problem. And
Now Sima Yi felt that these guys were not only driving drunk, but also driving drunk...
"Brother, where are we going now?" Sima Fu asked from the side.
Sima Yi smiled slightly, "Guess what?"
Sima Fu pondered for a moment, "An Ling?"
"Why?" Sima Yi was neither right nor wrong.
Sima Fu said: "Brother was singing excellent songs just now... And Anling was also called Nu Qiling. In the past, many people lived in Guandong and advocated excellent music..."
Sima Yi laughed and nodded, "Brother Fu has made some progress! That's right... Let's go to Anling first... By the way, if Brother Fu meets a charming lady, how should he deal with it?"
"The beauty of the country?" Sima Fu was stunned.
"Yeah." Sima Yi nodded.
Sima Fu was a little shy. When Ai Ai was young, he was naturally greedy for the love between men and women. During this time, he did many rebellious things, but he didn't expect to be pointed out by Sima Yi.
"This..." Sima Fu didn't know how to answer.
Sima Yi turned his head, looked at Sima Fu, and said: "If someone gets it, he should be killed..."
"Ah?!" Sima Fu was startled.
"A beautiful city and a country..." Sima Yi smiled slightly, "Do you have a city or a country to fall to? If you don't have a city, it will be harmful! Brother Fu, you might as well think carefully about it..."
Where did Sima Fu's "beautiful woman" come from? Did she fall from the sky? Wasn't it brought to her door by a "careful person"?
In this current situation, "someone with bad intentions" may kill someone.
Therefore, Sima Yi naturally wanted to beat Sima Fu.
After saying that, Sima Yi did not continue to press Sima Fu. Instead, he turned to look in the direction of Anling and said with a smile: "It is like this in Anling. There is no city to lean on, but you are greedy for beautiful women! You will die."
Really? I am taking you with me today to teach you a lesson! Let’s see what happens to those who are greedy!”
Sima Yi laughed loudly, drew his knife in his hand, pointed it at Anling, and shouted: "Now that I have the order of the hussar, I will go out to catch the rebels! Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy!"
All the accompanying soldiers responded in unison, then sped up and headed straight for Anling!
Sima Fu subconsciously followed Sima Yi, but his eyes were darting from side to side, apparently unable to stop...
Anling is not far from the main city of Chang'an. The cavalry galloped and arrived outside Anling almost in the blink of an eye. At this time, there was also a commotion in Anling. The gates of Lingyi were closed tightly, and all kinds of things happened in the city.
The noisy shouting was clearly audible.
The general stationed in Anling quickly verified Sima Yi's military orders and military symbols, and then followed Sima Yi's instructions to open the city gates of Lingyi and make way for the central passage.
Sima Yi did not do any pre-battle mobilization. He just waved his sword and said, "Fighting Arrow Formation! Defeat the thieves immediately! But those who violate the curfew will be regarded as thieves and will be killed without mercy!"
Immediately, the array divided into three groups, marching straight inward along the long street.
Naturally, most of the rioters in Anling are also good-for-nothing people. After being instigated by people with good intentions, they fish in troubled waters and rob families and homes. Although there are many people, they are disorganized, let alone know how to set up formations to resist horses. They were defeated by Sima Yi.
As soon as he led the cavalry to charge, he immediately cried for his father and mother and fled in all directions.
Many people were killed directly on the spot, or were trampled under the hooves of horses and turned into a pool of flesh and blood on the long street!
Are these people really guilty of heinous crimes and full of evil? Of course not. Many of them just couldn't help but be greedy, and when they saw others putting money in their pockets, they just wanted to come out and get some advantages, and then bumped into Sima Yi's
The horse has been hoofed. Are you complaining?
There is indeed some injustice.
But from a certain perspective, it's not unfair.
After the curfew, you are not allowed to go out. This is not a rule made by Fei Qian alone, but a common sense among the Han Dynasty for three to four hundred years in the feudal era. If you can't even explain this clearly, no one will mention it...
Suddenly, blood flowed everywhere in the long street, and those who made noises saw that the momentum was not right, and hurriedly ran into the alleys to escape. Sima Yi didn't pay much attention, and went straight forward until he was in front of a large house.
The horse was reined in.
A land like this was not originally suitable for ordinary people to live in. In Chang'an and in Lingyi City, the number of land in the first grade was limited. Merchants could not even think about being ranked. However, since Dong Zhuo's turmoil, the population of Guanzhong has increased.
There was a sharp decline, and many families either fled or perished, so that some Jiadi and Dadi became vacant. Later, the Qiaoqi promoted commerce, which also allowed some merchants to obtain considerable profits from trade. At the same time,
I also bought a house like this.
Sima Yi stretched out his hand and pointed to the alley to the side. A group of soldiers understood and rode their horses into the alley to go around to the back door.
The sound of horses' hooves stopped, and then there was silence. It seemed that only the breathing of humans and the snoring of war horses were left.
Under the bright light of the torch, Sima Yi slowly put the sword into the scabbard, and then straightened his armor.
"I heard that the Chen family is elegant, so I came here to visit. If I have disturbed you, I hope you will forgive me." Sima Yi took two steps forward and gestured with a slight cup of his hand, just like a noble son going out to visit a friend, polite and smiling.
"I would also like to pass it on to you. The Sima family in Xiawen County can come and chat with me."
As soon as I heard about my family status, a trembling voice came over, "Now that the weather is still dark, it will be inconvenient, why not...ask Mr. Sima to come back at dawn..."
Sima Yi smiled, "I'm afraid it's because I have no reason to be expensive..."
"Break the door!"
After several loud bangs, the originally thick door began to shake.
If it were a city door with a mixture of copper and iron, the gunpowder would still not be strong enough to blast it directly, but the door of an ordinary mansion would be torn open in two or three blows, and even the hussars rushed in!
Several wailing sounds were heard, and immediately more soldiers rushed directly into the gate of the mansion, and then quickly moved forward along the corridors and courtyards, gradually driving the people in the mansion to one place...
Sima Yi looked at the opened door of the Chen family's house, "Chen family, colluded with people from Shandong, kept slaves, and hid the murderer's tools in the courtyard by the Weishui River, intending to do evil..."
"'Beautiful women' are indeed beautiful, but they are also the source of trouble..." Sima Yi said slowly, "If the people of the Chen family had not been wishful thinking in pursuing "beautiful women", how could they have been in today's disaster?"
Sima Fu was silent and seemed to be thinking about this issue.
Although some people among the Chen family wanted to resist, their opponents were hussars, and they were disintegrated in three blows. Most of them fell to their knees, shaking like chaff.
Not long after, soldiers rushed out from inside and arrived in front of Sima Yi's horse to report: "For your report, everyone in the government has been detained in the inner courtyard. Anyone who resisted arrest with weapons has been beheaded!"
"Good!" Sima Yi nodded, then looked behind him, signaled to Sima Fu, then dismounted and walked inside.
Sima Fu followed Sima Yi all the way and saw some of the bodyguards of the Chen family lying in a pool of blood, somewhat nervous. Sima Fu was different from Sima Yi in that he had never been on the battlefield.
"Is Mr. Chen here?" Sima Yi asked loudly.
Among the people who were guarded by the soldiers, one person slowly stood up and said, "I'm here... I'm here..."
Sima Yi cupped his hands and said, "I have met Mr. Chen."
The Chen family's pale face seemed to be a little better, and he quickly returned the gift: "I don't dare to accept this gift..."
Sima Yi nodded and said: "Today I came uninvited. I will offend you a lot, so please invite Haihan, the son of the Chen family."
"..." Mrs. Chen rolled her eyes, "I, I am wronged..."
As the Chen family member spoke, he was about to rush forward. He didn't know whether he wanted to bow before Sima Yi or was preparing, but suddenly he saw a flash of sword light, and then his eyesight went black.
"Brother?!" Sima Fu watched helplessly as Sima Yi was laughing and chatting with Chen's son one moment, and then drew his sword to kill him the next, and he couldn't help but be shocked.
Sima Yi took a step back, let go of the blood spurting out of Chen's son, kicked his body over, and then shouted in a deep voice towards the other Chen's people who were screaming in terror in the courtyard: "Those who act rashly will die!"
The sudden change made most people at a loss. Even the people in the Chen family were horrified and confused. Then there were people who were crying and wanting to rush to the corpse, but were held back by others...
"Where is Anling Shou?" Sima Yi shook off the blood on his sword and shouted loudly.
"Subordinate...is..." Strictly speaking, An Lingshou was not Sima Yi's subordinate, but he was obviously frightened by Sima Yi's move and hurriedly stepped forward to respond.
"If anyone in this mansion is left under your care and someone is leaked..." Sima Yi smiled, "I will go to the general's mansion to receive the punishment myself..."
"I obey the order!" An Lingshou quickly responded with his hands raised.
Sima Yi nodded, leaving two soldiers to take care of the scene, and then evacuated with the rest of the soldiers.
"Brother..." Sima Fu followed Sima Yi, glanced at him, and called softly.
Sima Yi smiled and said, "Kill the person in charge of the Chen family, and the rest will not be a concern. Otherwise, if we leave more soldiers, we will not have enough manpower. If we don't leave more troops, we may not have enough troops... not to mention..."
Sima Yi looked at Sima Fu and said, "Next, you do it..."
"Ha?!" Sima Fu suddenly opened his eyes wide.
"What?" Sima Yi strode forward, "Before dawn, we need to clean up the seven mausoleums and wipe out fifteen mansions!"
……Σ(??д??llll)……
Wei Duan stood in the courtyard of the inner courtyard, his face as sinking as water.
Various chaotic sounds rang out from the city, including the sound of horse hooves, the sound of soldiers' armor, and the faint sound of shouts from the north bank of the Wei River. They were also swaying in the night wind, and then crashed into the courtyard and rushed into Wei Duan's heart.
The pressure made Wei Duan feel uncomfortable.
The people standing behind Wei Duan were all members of the Wei family. All of them looked pale, and a few were even trembling uncontrollably. In addition, everyone in the Wei Mansion, as well as the servants and guards, also had stern faces.
Standing inside and outside the yard, staring around with eyes wide open, as if expecting someone to jump out of the darkness at the next moment.
Wei Shi is a famous surname in Guanzhong. Of course, there are some private soldiers armed with spears, knives, and armor, guarding the inner courtyard. But even though they look armed to the teeth, they don't have the aura of the hussars.
The sword and gun seemed to be a bit hot to the touch, and I kept fumbling around, changing positions, tossing and turning, but I couldn't hold it steady, or I didn't know how to handle it.
Footsteps suddenly sounded quickly, and Wei Kang, sweating profusely, was seen running towards Wei Duan, saying in a low voice: "Father, the soldiers and horses in the city are in full swing... led by Sima, they are heading straight for Lingyi..."
…The child saw that the cavalry was strong and strong, and they were no ordinary soldiers…”
"Lingyi?" Wei Duan was stunned for a moment, "Did you see it clearly? Did you go to Lingyi?"
Wei Kang nodded.
"How could this happen?" Wei Duan thought that Pang Tong would definitely start from inside Chang'an, but he didn't expect that he would head towards the surrounding Lingyi first. Then within Chang'an...
Isn’t it empty?
The next moment, Wei Duan was startled by his own thoughts, and then he took a breath of cold air and couldn't help but murmured, "Pang Lingjun... is really... so cruel..."
"Father..." Wei Kang didn't hear Wei Duan's words clearly, "But what are your instructions?"
Wei Duan shook his head, then smiled bitterly and said: "Of all the surnames in Guanzhong, we, the Wei family, are the first... Now that there is chaos, how can we be alone..."
Wei Kang was stunned for a moment, "What my father means is..."
"Well, I thought that if we stayed behind closed doors, we would be able to avoid collusion and chaos, but now it seems..." Wei Duan sighed, "Pang Lingjun... has a very serious plan... now it is not only the mausoleum in the city, but also the mausoleum in the city.
In the land of Sanfu, I don’t know how many people can escape from the relationship...not to mention how many wealthy noble families are trapped in the vortex, and they can’t help but be trapped..."
Wei Kang blinked, swallowed, and said, "Father, are you saying that the current situation was caused intentionally by Pang Lingjun?"
Wei Duan sighed, "Originally I wasn't sure...but now..."
Sima Yi led the cavalry and went straight to Lingyi with great fanfare. Since the people of Wei Kang and Wei could see it, then other people in the city could also see it. Then these people would inevitably be the same as Wei Duan had just thought...
The city is empty.
Then what?
If he makes any rash moves, he will jump out and fall into the trap set by Pang Tong!
Wei Duan now even feels that there must be hidden soldiers in Chang'an City, just waiting for someone to jump out...
Moreover, Wei Duan also thought of another, more terrifying possibility, and suddenly he broke out in cold sweat all over his body, and even started to tremble a little under the night wind.
"Father!" Wei Kang saw something was wrong with Wei Duan's condition. He stepped forward to help him and shouted, "Father, what's wrong with you?"
"Hurry... prepare the car... no, prepare the horse!" Wei Duan grabbed Wei Kang and said eagerly, "After his father leaves the house, Kang'er must lead everyone behind closed doors, no matter what.
If something unexpected happens, you are not allowed to leave the house without authorization!』
"Father..." Wei Kang didn't know why.
"Do you understand?" Wei Duan said eagerly, "Restrain everyone! No one is allowed to leave the house until the situation is calmed down! Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed without mercy!"
"Only, only!" Wei Kang nodded in agreement, and then asked, "Where is Father going..."
"Haha..." Wei Duan smiled bitterly, "As a father...as a father, I want to die in order to find a chance..."
