20. The sky is not dead, the yellow sky is still standing
There are two ways to choose from Luoyang to Hedong County. One of them is to go north after leaving Luoyang and board a ferry from Pingyin County to Heyang County, Hanoi County on the other side, and then cross the Taihang Wangwu Mountains and cross the junction of Hanoi and Hedong.
The famous pass Jiguan enters Hedong County.
The other line goes west from Luoyang into Hongnong County, passes through Xinhangu Pass, which was built in the Eastern Han Dynasty to expand the scope of Guanzhong, and reaches Hongnong County, the seat of Hongnong County. Then it turns north and crosses the river in Shaanxian County to reach Dahe in Hedong County.
Yang County. However, arriving in Dayang County does not mean that the rest of the journey will be smooth sailing, because then you need to cross Leishou Mountain to reach the hinterland of Hedong.
The junction of the northeastern part of the river and the Xihe River is also a land of high mountains. The most famous one is probably the Hukou Mountain where the Hukou Waterfall is located, also known as the Huguan Mountain. However, it should be noted that this Huguan is not the other Huguan.
Three Kingdoms
Huguan, which is usually encountered in the game, is the gateway to Bingzhou, and Hedong is an administrative unit under the jurisdiction of the Sili Governor's Department. Huguan is under the jurisdiction of Shangdang County in Bingzhou, and there are historical data that Qi State once defeated Jin here.
country's army.
Precisely because of the existence of the special area of Hukou, the Yellow River water transport is obviously unable to meet the demand from Luoyang to Xihe, because the Yellow River is cut off in the middle right here, completely separating the upstream waterway and the downstream waterway.
A bit of cold wind is blowing in some quiet mountain forests. The thin layer of frost that was spread on the leaves of the quiet forest last night is slowly disappearing with the invasion of the wind, and the early birds are disappearing one after another.
They left the nest, but there were not many birds left, because most of the birds had already flown to the warmer south.
Although it is still winter, the sun can still play a huge role. As the sun slowly rises, you can clearly feel the precious warmth brought by the golden sunshine in winter. This is the new day.
has arrived.
Suddenly, a small number of birds suddenly flew together, filling the originally peaceful forest with noisy sounds, and from a distance, a group of hurried travelers came walking from the path between the mountains.
Of course, no one would think that they are ordinary travelers. Although they appear to be wearing very ordinary winter clothes, the armor they wear underneath can be seen from the sharp-edged clothes. Not to mention that among them
The horses under the crotch of some people can be seen as excellent war horses at a glance, capable of large-scale battles.
Groups that model and equip such slightly luxurious war equipment are obviously not characters to be trifled with. And if it is some sophisticated guys who can smell the smell of iron and blood from their bodies, it is obvious that these guys have crawled out of the dead.
goods. Yes, they are Li Shushi's troops advancing towards Xihe.
Since passing Jiguan, Li Shushi has obviously felt that the temperature has dropped by a whole level. Although there is no snow on the road, the thin layer of frost still makes the road a bit slippery, even though the horseshoes have been wrapped with a layer of anti-skid straw rope.
However, this protective measure was obviously not durable enough, so after several attempts, Li Shushi had to slow down the marching speed of the troops.
In the end, Li Shushi chose the route through Hanoi instead of visiting the majestic Hangu Pass. There was still only one thing he wanted most fundamentally, and that was the eagle-eyed wolf Gu who made him even more curious, even though he was still a stinky genius boy.
One, far from the scheming and cunning old fox that he was later, but isn’t it interesting to be able to see a person’s growth and changes and then sigh about the impermanence of the world?
Because of the corrupt war situation in Guanzhong, Sima Fang has resigned from the position of Jing Zhaoyin. Although he does not lack ability, his thinking is a bit too rigid. Facing the menacing Qiang people, his performance lacked enough flexibility.
Although it provided a lot of support to the front line, it also had to deal with the Xiliang assassins on the front line.
Shi Gengbi and Geng Bi's cronies Cheng Qiu were in a very unhappy situation. The most important thing was that Sima Fang had 10,000 objections to Liu Hong's relocation plan. For such an old stubborn who didn't know how to adapt, Liu Hong never
There is no way to do it. Zhang Wen has already led his troops to the west anyway, so it is nothing to hold a part-time job as Jing Zhaoyin.
It's just a pity that although Sima Fang has returned to Wen County this time, Li Shushi, an unknown person with impure thoughts, still received a big rejection from Sima Fang. Although it was expected, especially when things came.
When he saw the smiling Su Xiaololi beside him, Li Shushi still had a feeling of embarrassment on his face.
After leaving Wenxian County, Li Shushi finally made up his mind to head west. The only pity is that it has already entered winter. Otherwise, Hedong is still a very interesting place, a place that can be called a treasure of nature and a place of outstanding people.
Let’s talk about the talents in Hedong first. Let’s not talk about the distant ones. The most famous ones during the Three Kingdoms period are Guan Yu, the martial sage, and Xu Huang, one of the five great generals, who is known as the “reincarnation of Zhou Yafu.” Others such as Jia Kui and Jia Chong (Hedong)
Junxiang
The Jia clan represented by Ling County); the Guanqiu clan represented by Guanqiu Jian and Guanqiu Yi (Linfen County, Hedong County); and of course the famous families in Anyi County, Hedong County where the famous Shuge Wei Zhongdao children's shoes are located
The Wei family.
Wei Zhongdao was very pitiful, because not only did his wife be beautiful and coveted, but he also had numerous cuckolds, and he did not even leave a name himself. Because he had an elder brother named Wei Kaizi Boru, one of whom later served as Cao Cao's
still
Shu’s brother, a calligrapher whose calligraphy is said to be equal to that of Zhong Yao during the Three Kingdoms period. There is also a nephew named Wei Guan who was famous in the Wei and Jin Dynasties. Therefore, it is really not surprising that the Wei family can marry such a beautiful girl like Cai Yan.
Generally powerful.
By the way, Wei Guan's father Wei Kai is a very interesting guy. The earliest clear record of this man is in the fourth year of Jian'an (199) when he sent Liu Zhang to Yizhou as an envoy on behalf of Cao Cao. Unfortunately, he was stranded in Chang'an because of the chaos in Guanzhong.
So Cao Cao asked him to guard Guanzhong. It can be seen that this person should be at least an adult at this time, that is, he should be over 20 years old.
And this man died in 229 AD, at least fifty years old, which was not too bad in this era when the average life span was not long. But here comes the problem. Wei Kai had three sons in total, and his eldest son
Historical records record that "I lost my father when I was ten years old, and I was extremely filial."
In other words, in the ancient times when early marriage and early childbearing occurred, Wei Kai did not have his first son until he was forty years old, and then he produced two more at the same time. He left enough offspring and left alone.
Chicken feathers fell all over the ground.
Of course, you can't rule out that Mrs. Wei had a bunch of daughters before or that many children died in infancy, and it's conceivable how sad she would be after such a coincidence in numbers. It's just that we, the descendants who are so miserable, have
It can also be used as a source of conversation, just like the age difference of more than seventy years between Zhong Yao and his second son Zhong Hui. It is estimated that Yang Zhenning would be willing to be inferior to Zhong Yao when he met him. He is the real glory.
Back then...
And why can Hedong County produce so many talents? The reason is that Hedong is a very fat place, very fat, super fat, and very fat.
This is the only inland salt field in Guanzhong and the Heluo area. Based on this alone, Hedong County is an area under key monitoring by the central government, and it is one of the very important reasons why it is ranked among the seven counties of Sili. Of course, Hedong County is not
There is only salt, but also iron. And because the Fenhe River, the second largest stream of the Yellow River, and several other rivers flow through it, not only water transportation is developed in the east of the river, but also a fertile Fenhe River Valley has been formed based on the Fenhe River, with considerable agriculture.
developed.
Precisely because of such good economic conditions and geographical advantages, many great dynasties were born here. For example, the capital is now Xia County, Shanxi Province. As the name implies, you know who is the first dynasty in the chronology of Chinese history.
The Xia Dynasty and the capital were located there
Not far from Xia County, the Wei State, one of the seven heroes of the Warring States Period, named Anyi. Of course, later due to various reasons, the Wei State had to abandon Anyi, the capital of the aggressive Qin State after acquiring Lishi Fortress, and then
Crossed the Yellow River and moved the capital to Daliang.
Therefore, when Li Shushi and others climbed over Wangwu Mountain, which made him awe-inspiring for Comrade Yu Gong, and arrived at Duanshi County on the edge of Wangwushan Mountains, what Li Shushi saw was a peaceful scene. Although Duanshi County was not
It is a small county with a population of less than 10,000 households, but it has not encountered any natural disasters**
Because of the relationship, the faces of the people here are not as haggard as the victims Li Shushi saw in the Central Plains. Instead, they seem to be particularly leisurely in the rare rest days of the year because this year's harvest is pretty good.
Even the taverns in the county are doing brisk business and have ample supplies of alcohol.
Li Shushi left most of his men in a village outside the city. After all, his title of Governor of Xihe was still very intimidating to the simple villagers. Although the people here could be regarded as children of the political core area, the villagers
There was a unique sense of pride in their words and deeds, but they were ordinary people after all, not to mention that there were hundreds of soldiers behind Li Shushi.
Of course, when Li Shushi led his men into the tavern in Duanshi County, he realized that things were far from as harmonious as what he saw on the surface.
Although Ma Yuanyi sent by Zhang Jiao failed to succeed in the uprising in Luoyang, the core ruling area of the Han Dynasty, this does not mean that Taiping Dao's power in the Gyeonggi area has been uprooted. You must know that even in Yin, Henan, where Luoyang is located, there are many Yellow Turbans
The army was well concealed and ultimately escaped that large-scale search operation, let alone the Hedong area.
In particular, Ding Yuan, who was the governor of Bingzhou a while ago, finally took control of Taiyuan County under the urging of the imperial court. This place has become a good place for the defeated Yellow Turban Army. Whether it is the Yellow Turban Army who escaped from the battlefield in Jizhou
The army is still hidden in the
Many Yellow Turban troops in the mountains at the border of Hebei and Hebei have begun to move here. After all, the terrain here is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is rich in products. Whether it is to use this as a base to compete for the world or to nest here and claim the throne.
Domination is a good place to be.
Li Shushi, who was originally a little skeptical about this matter, didn't realize how bad things were until he saw a young man with an obviously unusual identity and his servant being robbed by a group of guys wearing yellow turbans.
"Bold thief, stop it!"
However, since the experience was delivered to his door, there was no chance that Li Shushi would let it go.
