Chapter 252: Zhilai County changes owner, Big Erdaner people
Yang Yizu waved his hand and said: "Hey, that's it. In that case, you can do it yourself. Since it has been packed up, I will go to the county government here to have a look." He stopped chatting with Meng Zhongbing at the city gate.
The large flags with the characters Zhuge and Wu were now placed on the city tower. The flags with the characters Zhuge and Wu were now fluttering in the breeze. The Wu troops stationed on the city wall also began to clean up the arrows, blood stains and those who had no heads.
Li Bing,
Lift them down one by one and stack them randomly outside the city. Then they find a clearing in the forest, dig a big hole, throw the corpses in one by one, like throwing away garbage, and then slowly
They covered it with soil and built a large tomb.
Several Wu soldiers who unfortunately died in this battle were given different treatment, that is, one man per pit, and they also cut down trees and made a tombstone for each of them, with their names engraved on them.
It would be easier to identify them if their family members came here to pay their respects.
Meng Zhongbing obviously heard what Yang Yizu's subordinates had just reported, so he smiled and said to the left and right: "Haha, you have all seen it, right? Although Yang Duwei led his troops to ascend first, they only captured
More than fifty people came,
There are more than thirty people fewer than our troops. Captain Yang probably lacked confidence in his heart and just found an excuse to leave in a hurry!"
The men under Meng Zhongbing's command clasped their fists and said, "Qu Chang is brave and brave, far beyond what Captain Yang can match."
Meng Zhongbing nodded with satisfaction and said: "Have you collected the heads? Once they are collected, I will go to the county government office to have a look."
By the time Meng Zhongbing led his men to the gate of the Daibi County Yamen, Yang Yizu's men had already knocked the gate open with a wooden bumper, and were leading people to clean the battlefield. It was going very smoothly. After all, even the city gate was broken.
The county government office is even less worth mentioning.
As for Lu Kai and Nie You, they had also arrived outside the two counties of Zhilai (today's Changjiang) and Dan'er (today's Dan County) respectively.
In the first year of Yuanfeng in the Western Han Dynasty, Zhilai County was established and subordinated to Dan'er County. "Zhilai" is the Chinese translation of Li language and means "bamboo". Zhilai County was named because of the abundant bamboo in the territory.
Dan'er County was also established at this time. According to the "Book of Han" records: "Those with Dan'er ears are of the big-eared species." In ancient times, the local people had a special appearance and large ears, so Dan'er County got its name from this.
Later, the two counties of Dan'er were affiliated to this county. There were also poems in later generations that used the name of Dan'er County to express the poet's inner emotions. There is a poem "Dan'er" that says:
The thunderbolt gathers its power, the evening rain opens, and I lean against Cui Wei alone on the railing.
The neon clouds hang down from the sky, and the happy wind rises from the sea.
The wild old man has already sung the words of a prosperous year, and he wants to banish his ministers after removing the book.
In his remaining years, when he is well-fed and old, he can live in one place and everything will come to nothing.
Lu Kai led his troops to Zhilai County, where the city was built on a plain (later known as Changgan Plain) downstream of a river (later known as Changhua River). The climate was drier and less rainy than other places on the island, and the soil was mostly sandy soil.
,
Lu Kai looked from a distance outside the city and saw exposed rocks, spreading yellow sand, and xerophytes such as cacti and wild pineapples growing wildly. This scenery is easily reminiscent of the coastal desert on the Arabian Peninsula. Lu Kai will
He took off the leather bag from his waist, took a sip of water and said, "This place is really strange. It has a scene like the vast desert in the Western Regions. It is probably the only place in Chanzhou or even the coastal areas east of the Yangtze River."
The sandy soil and rock formations in this area are constantly eroded by hot and dry winds, forming this desert wonder over time.
The Changhua River is the second largest river in Hainan Island. Chanzhou (Hainan Island) flows into the Beibu Gulf alone. It originates from Kongshi Ridge at the northern foot of the Wuzhishan Mountains and runs through the central and western parts of the island.
From where Lu Kai's troops were, he could already see the Zhilai County seat farther downstream, on the west side of the river (Changhua River). The city walls were made of locally sourced sand and rammed soil, which was quite reminiscent of the Western Regions.
It tastes good, but I think there are more Li-style buildings inside.
Lu Kai held his sword and said: "Soldiers, follow me and charge, we can capture this city right before our eyes!"
In Zilai County, there were only eight or nine hundred Li soldiers who occupied the Magpie Nest under the leadership of nearby tribal leaders. After the Han army retreated, they occupied this place for a long time. The owners changed several times in the past few hundred years, but they were all
Just rotate among the nearby Li tribes,
Half an hour later, Lu Kai's soldiers planted the flag of Wu State on the top of the city, which marked that this place had changed its owner again. Chen Li, the leader of the Li tribe in the city, was also beheaded on the spot by Lu Kai's men.
Because he did not surrender, he continued to resist stubbornly, but this was not bad. It could add a small killing effect to Lu Kai's troops. Although it was not big, mosquitoes were still meat no matter how small they were.
Outside the city of Dan'er County, Nie You's troops had also arrived. Nie You began to direct his soldiers to attack the city. Arrows met in mid-air in front of the city wall from time to time, and then continued to shoot into the opponent's position and set up on the city wall.
The ladders on the top were also filled with Wu soldiers, who were rushing towards the city without fear of death. There was also a pair of Wu soldiers in the city gate who were banging against the crumbling city gate.
"The Book of Mountains and Seas" says: "Beyond the southern wilderness, there is the country of Li'er. Its people's ears are as long as their shoulders. Whenever they walk against the wind, they turn their ears on their backs to avoid being caught in the wind."
"Foreign Objects Chronicles" also said: "The cloud of Dan'er's ear has its skin hollowed out, and the ears are connected to it. It is divided into several branches. It looks like chicken intestines, and the ears are drooping."
"Dan County Chronicles" puts it simply, "He has ears as long as his shoulders."
Dan'er County is the seat of Dan'er County. The city is only 260 paces and one foot and four feet high. It is said that the ancient Dan'er County City was built by Yang Pu.
After Dan'er was established as a county, there was no peace. The reason was that most of the officials sent by the imperial court were greedy and cruel. They regarded his "subordinates" as a private bag for storing treasures and plundered and executed them at will.
For example, "Book of the Later Han·Biography of the Southern Barbarians" records that in the last years of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Sun Xing was the prefect of Zhuya and "made a wide spread of cloth and presented it to the barbarians. The barbarians were unable to fight, so they attacked the county and killed them."
Fortunately, Zibao, together with the good people, defeated it again, took charge of the county affairs on his own, attacked the remaining party, and achieved peace year after year." However, "the Chinese were greedy for their treasures and bribes, and gradually invaded and insulted each other, so they rebelled every year."
This means that the officials who guard the territory always take it as their own duty to seize local treasures and often provoke civil unrest. Therefore, there is an uprising within a few years. Now, the city has been directly occupied by the Li tribe for about hundreds of years.
Already.
Moreover, what is even more cruel is that some corrupt officials, in addition to constantly extorting local rare treasures to present to the central court, also torture and kill people and make them slaves. In this way, it is strange that the Li people in Dan'er do not rebel, and they are still
Forced to rebel by corrupt officials.
After another stick of incense, the ancient Dan'er County city gate finally couldn't bear it anymore, and fell into the city gate with a "boom". Lu Kai's soldiers swarmed in, beheaded those who resisted, and put down their weapons.
Those who surrendered were asked to squat aside so that they could be dealt with later...
