At this moment, it has just dawned in Liaodong, but it is one or two hours earlier than in Jiangdong, and it gets dark earlier than in Jiangdong. There is also a bit of chill in the season between summer and autumn. If it is still a little hot in Jiangdong...
…
Amidst the gusts of sea wind, the officers and soldiers of the Wu army stepped ashore via ladders and planks from the large and small building ships docked on the shore. For a while, there was a constant sound of armor rubbing against each other.
There are not many war horses on the building, but the main generals still have a mount. Although Wu State has few war horses, it still has hundreds of war horses for 20,000 people.
Quan Cong also rode off the ship with Quan Xu and a group of generals. The port where the Wu army landed this time was called Dajin. This place belongs to Da County. After landing, you can go one day further to Liaodong County.
At the foot of Xiangping City,
At this time, Daxian County had long been deserted, and Dajin Port was even more desolate. Because no one had taken care of it for many years, the Suaeda grass had grown very tall. The Wu army's landing at this time was like entering an uninhabited land, and there were no casualties.
Just run all the way, but it is impossible to find some war horses. You can only find them in more prosperous places inland.
The first time this place came into view in the Central Plains was during the Warring States Period. With the expansion of the Yan State, Lushun was placed under the jurisdiction of Liaodong County, and the Liaodong Peninsula was merged into the territory of the Yan State, a prince surnamed Ji, for the first time.
During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Ta County was established in the Liaodong Peninsula. In the past few years, the Wu State located in the southeast actively contacted Gongsun Yuan, the warlord of Liaodong, through sea routes in an attempt to attack Cao Wei from both sides.
In order to avoid future troubles, Cao Wei sent Sima Yi to attack Gongsun Yuan and move the residents of Da County to the interior, leaving Da County abandoned.
The march on the sea depended on the weather and sea conditions, but fortunately there was no wind or waves along the way, and the army finally arrived safely at Dajin Port.
The Dajin Port (Lushun Port) area, in later generations' words, has a maritime climate. The ocean currents from warm areas keep the Dajin Port from freezing all year round.
Surrounded by sea on three sides, the water depth near the coast can even allow warships and building ships to dock. Of course, the draft of building ships is not deep, and they can also park closer to the shore.
Dajin Port is not only an excellent ice-free port but also deeply strangles the throat of the Bohai Sea. However, due to land expansion at this time, not many people will pay attention to it. Only the navy of Wu State attaches great importance to it.
The word "Bohai" refers to the appearance of water surging when it fluctuates, which means grand and spectacular. The Bohai Sea was also called Bohai in ancient times, and the word "Bo" was interpreted by the ancients as any inland sea that suddenly sank in.
), called "Bo", but it is Bohai County that is more famous than Bohai.
During the Warring States Period, the current Bohai Sea was once called "Bohai"; in the Qin Dynasty, the Bohai Sea was renamed "Bohai";
In the Spring and Autumn Period, the Bohai Sea was also called the "North Sea". According to the "Laizhou Prefecture Chronicle", in the first year of the Chu Yuan Dynasty, "the North Sea Sea overflowed and killed the people." This shows that the sea water from the northern sea invaded the inland and flooded farmland and villages.
In fact, as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Bohai Sea region was the focus of competition among various countries.
If the State of Yan obtains it, then Qi and Zhao will have no gate; if the State of Qi obtains it, then Yan and Zhao will have no gate.
Liu Bang's purpose in setting up Bohai County was to drive a nail into the states of Yan, Qi, and Zhao. If anyone disobeyed, he would pull out the nail in Bohai County and torture them.
After Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, unified the world, he established Bohai County.
The jurisdiction is roughly equivalent to the current Cangzhou City in Hebei Province, as well as parts of Tianjin and Shandong. Because it is located on the coast of the Bohai Sea, it is named Bohai County.
The area of the Bohai Sea is now larger than that of later generations. Most of Tianjin City and the east of Huanghua were still submerged in the sea at that time.
Bohai County is a large county, with a population of 900,000 in the Western Han Dynasty. It is also a large county of Cao Wei today. Sun Quan also wants to get it, but he is not strong enough now, so he can only attack the weaker Liaodong first.
Bohai County straddles Qilu in the south, Youyan in the north, and Hebei and Zhao in the east. Its strategic location is very important. Whoever controls Bohai County is equivalent to getting the keys to the three major sectors.
Quan Xu also set off with the forward army and led a partial division to attack. Quan Cong stood on a small peak on the shore and watched the forward army set off. After a long time, he said to his left and right: "Bring some wine, I am going to sacrifice Xu Yan.
The heroic souls of generals He Da, Yu Zi, Wan Tai, and Pei Qian!"
The guard on the side clasped his fists and said, "No, I'll go and get it right now." After saying that, he walked quickly. Quan Cong gradually recalled some things from that year in his mind. That year he was promoted to General of the Guard, Right Guard Army,
Not long after Xuzhou went to farm, it was the time when the spring breeze was full of joy.
In March of the second year of Jiahe (233 years), Sun Quan sent envoys Taichang Zhang Mi, Jinwu Xu Yan, generals He Da, Yu Zi, Zhonglang General Wantai, and captain Pei Qian to lead a huge fleet to Liaodong.
, canonized Gongsun Yuan.
This fleet is said to have ten thousand people, but it actually has about seven or eight thousand people. Such a large-scale voyage represented the highest level of East Asian navigation in that era, and this time it was several times larger than the one in the second year of Jiahe.
After the Soochow delegation arrived in Liaodong, they did not all disembark for precautionary reasons. They were divided into two parts. Zhang Mi, Xu Yan, Wantai, Pei Qian and others took 400 people to Xiangping to meet with Gongsun Yuan and He Da.
Yu Zi then led the rest of the people to stay on the boat and wait.
Among them, Zhang Mi and Xu Yan were responsible for the canonization matters, while Wan Tai and Pei Qian were mainly responsible for another major event, namely the purchase of horses.
Although Gongsun Yuan had evil intentions for a long time, only 400 people came from Soochow, so he could only do the next best thing and eat this small army first.
At this time, Zhang Mi and others saw that Gongsun Yuan seemed to be unwilling, and they already realized that something was wrong, so Gongsun Yuan immediately launched an army to attack and killed Zhang Mi, Xu Yan, Wan Tai, and Pei Qian. The remaining soldiers were helpless.
He resisted and had to beg for surrender, so he was exiled to the border.
The attack on the Wu envoy was carried out in secret, and Heda and Yu Zi, who were left on the ship, had no idea about it, so Gongsun Yuan decided to trick them into landing on the shore and catch them all.
For this reason, Gongsun Yuan ordered Han Qi to lead a large group of troops to Daxian to ambush them. Chief Shi Liuyuan held a banquet to lure Heda and Yu Zi off the ship, and brought a large number of horses and other supplies to make it look like a mutual trade.
For the sake of safety, Heda and Yu Zi did not take the main force off the ship in person, but ordered five to six hundred people to go to the mutual market.
Gongsun Yuan saw that the Soochow delegation was too vigilant and it was impossible to eliminate them all, so there was no need to cover up and the ambush army was attacked in one fell swoop.
Poor those five or six hundred soldiers. They were happy to buy horses, but they suffered a disaster. More than 300 people were killed on the spot, and more than 200 people were driven into the water and drowned. The rest fled to the mountains. Not knowing where to end.
This scene was clearly seen by those who stayed on the boat. They were glad that they were not the ones who came ashore, so they immediately returned to Jiangdong to report the news.
In the end, this failed canonization attempt to win over Liaodong ended with the loss of more than a thousand people and a large amount of property.
But the matter did not end there. Among the soldiers who were exiled to the frontier by Gongsun Yuan, sixty people were placed in Xuantu County. These people were led by Qin Dan, Zhang Qun, Du De, and Huang Jiang. They did not want to be humiliated. Determined to fight to the death with all his strength to avenge the national humiliation.
But Xuantu County was in the area of today's Shenyang City, about 200 miles away from Xiangping. It was far away from the coast. How easy was it to go home?
Perhaps this is why they are determined to die.
But what they didn't expect was that because of their desperate fighting, they finally found a way out for themselves.
