Chapter 493: Take strict precautions and meet with the governor
At midnight, the weather in Liaodong was very cold. Of course, the temperature in neighboring Liaoxi County and Youbeiping County was not much higher. Zhao Yong, the prefect of Liaoxi County, received a call from the governor of Yangle County in the afternoon.
report,
Someone from Liaodong County said that Liaodong County had been attacked. The Wu army had defeated five counties in a row and must have been besieging Xiangping at this moment. It was necessary to report to the governor as soon as possible and ask the governor to send troops to help. Zhao Yong did not dare to neglect, so he did not receive the people from Liaodong County.
Even then, he asked the Thousand People Supervisor on duty to release them, and also had people prepare some dry food, water and horses for them to supplement. Then he said to the Thousand People Supervisor who came into the hall to report: "Pass this order from the prefect, let Haiyang,
The four counties of Feiru and Linyu were ordered to be on strict guard against a surprise attack by the Wu army."
The governor of the thousand people immediately held the military salute and said: "No, I will send someone to deliver the order right now!"
Liaoxi County was established by the Yan State during the Warring States Period.
The administrative seat of Qin and Han Dynasties was Yangle (now west of Yixian County, Liaoning).
The jurisdiction is similar to the area west of Hebei, east of Leting, south of the Great Wall, east of Songling Mountain in Liaoning, and west of the lower reaches of the Daling River. It belongs to the Youzhou Prefectural Department. Later, the jurisdiction gradually became smaller, and now there are only five
County,
By sunset, the team asking for help from Liaodong County had entered Youbeiping County. The gate of Ji County was opened at midnight. At this time, the gate of Ji County had already been closed. The soldiers on the city tower looked at the group of people riding horses from a distance.
, in the dark night, the armor flag of the incoming visitor cannot be seen clearly,
The soldiers on duty immediately became vigilant and shouted: "Who is coming? Please stop. The city gate has been closed. If you want to enter the city, you have to wait until tomorrow."
The soldier at the front of the team asking for help shouted loudly to the city tower: "Open the city gate quickly. We are coming from Liaodong County to ask for help. We want to meet the governor. The Wu army has defeated five counties in a row, and Xiangping is also coming soon."
I can’t hold it anymore!”
The patrolling soldier on the city tower still didn't believe it. When he raised a torch and looked down at the city, he saw that it was indeed one of his own, but he didn't dare to open the city gate on his own initiative and let them in, so he went to invite them in the city tower first.
While I was resting, the inspector of thousands of people on duty came to check.
The Governor of Thousand People walked to the city wall, held up a torch, and looked down. After a careful inspection, he saw that there was nothing unusual about these people. He just said to the soldiers who were warming up around the fire: "You go and guard the city."
Open the door and let these people in."
The soldiers immediately stood up and clasped their fists and said, "No!"
Then the soldiers immediately went down the city wall along the stairs and slowly opened the city gate. Seeing that there was nothing unusual, they breathed a sigh of relief.
A group of people entered Jixian County. At this time, the governor of a thousand people also walked down from the city wall. He clasped his fists and said: "Guys, since the military situation is urgent, I will not be polite. Let's go. I will take you to see you first."
Governor Du, after reporting to the Governor, I will find a place for you to rest, so come with me."
After saying this, the Governor of Thousand People got on the horse that was tied to the road to the city and galloped towards the Governor's Mansion. Several soldiers from Xiangping rode their horses to follow closely.
As an accessory to city gates and city walls, horse roads play an irreplaceable military role.
The horse path is a ramp specially built for soldiers and military supplies to go up and down the city. It does not use stairs to facilitate the carriages going up and down.
The horse paths to the city are all located on the inside of the city wall, protruding from the city body. The main body of the horse path is made of rammed earth, and the road surface is paved with bricks, which is strong and resistant to pressure.
During wartime, the soldiers and horses of the city defenders, weapons, grain and grass, etc. can travel unimpeded on the horse roads and alleys in the city, and can climb the city wall in a timely and convenient manner through the city climbing horse roads.
At the same time, the garrison troops of all parties on the city can also communicate with each other in a timely and rapid manner through horse roads and alleys to report battle reports or provide support.
During the Warring States Period, Pinggang City in Youbeiping was under the jurisdiction of the Yan State.
The most powerful period of the Yan Kingdom was after King Yan Zhao succeeded to the throne (311 BC to 277 BC).
King Yan Zhao worked hard and in the twelfth year of King Yan Zhao (300 BC), he sent general Qin Kai to defeat the Donghu who often invaded the northern part of Yan State, and drove the Donghu people to the Xilamulun River (the upper source of the Liao River).
The area to the north (today's Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region) occupied most of today's Liaoning Province.
In order to attack and defend Donghu, Yan State built the Great Wall from Zaoyang (today's Huailai County, Hebei Province) to Xiangping (today's Liaoyang City, Liaoning Province) for more than a thousand miles, and set up Shanggu County (the administrative seat of Juyang, today's Liaoyang City).
Southeast of Huailai), Yuyang County (the seat of governance is Yuyang, southwest of present-day Miyun County, Beijing City), Youbeiping County (the seat of governance is Pinggang, now the ancient city of Heicheng, Ningcheng, Inner Mongolia), Liaoxi County (the seat of governance is unknown, and the jurisdiction is
There are five counties (approximately east of the lower reaches of the Luan River and west of the lower reaches of the Daling River) and Liaodong County (the administrative seat is Xiangping, now Liaoyang City). They strengthen administrative district governance to consolidate the territory.
After the establishment of the Qin Dynasty, Youbeiping County was established here following the prefectures and counties of the Warring States Period. The name of the county is not recorded in historical records.
The Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system and continued to set up Youbeiping County here. The sixteen counties it belongs to should follow the names of the Qin Dynasty. These county names are: Pinggang, Wuzhong, Shicheng, Tingling, Junmi, Xuwu, Tuyin
, Bailang, Sunset, Changcheng, Licheng, Guangcheng, Juyang, Pingming, etc.
Pinggang City was built during the Warring States Period; it was used by the Qin and Han dynasties until it was abandoned at the end of the Western Han Dynasty. It continued to be used for about four hundred years.
In the Han Dynasty, Youbeiping County was one of the important border counties in the north for defense against the Huns. The Han Dynasty sent capable officials to garrison it.
Li Guang was a famous general in the Han Dynasty. He was good at riding and shooting, had extraordinary physical strength, and was skilled in bow and horse. He once served as the governor of Youbeiping County.
During the Eastern Han Dynasty, due to the intrusions of Wuhuan and Xianbei, the jurisdiction of Youbeiping County was greatly reduced, and only the southwest corner of the county in the Western Han Dynasty remained.
The northern boundary is roughly north of the current line of the Great Wall.
It leads four counties: Tuyin County, Wuzhong County, Xuwu County, and Junmi County.
At the end of the Han Dynasty, Wuhuan's power gradually grew, and he controlled the Liaodong vassal state of Youzhou, Liaoxi, Youbeiping, Shanggu and other border counties, and was named the Three Commanderies Wuwan.
Wuyan, the Wuhuan lord of Youbeiping, called himself King of Hanlu and was named Shanyu by Yuan Shao.
In the 11th year of Jian'an, Cao Cao sent troops to pacify the three counties of Wuhuan, and moved the Wuhuan tribes to settle in the Central Plains. Only then did you have the more stable Youbeiping County now.
When the Governor of Thousand People led several people from Liaodong County to the side door of the Governor's Mansion, the Governor of Thousand People named Wang quickly opened the door and asked several people to unload their weapons and place the horses in the backyard.
Several people followed him to the lobby of the governor's mansion, waiting for the governor to arrive. An old servant received them in the lobby.
He knew that what he needed most in the cold nights at this time of year was not tea but wine, so he asked someone to fetch a few pots of old wine, lit a charcoal fire on the stove in the center of the hall, and warmed the wine for a few people.
The charcoal fire was so strong that it took just a cup of tea and a few pots of wine to warm up. The old servant poured a small pot for each of the guests in the lobby.
He said with a smile in an old voice: "You guys, please drink some hot wine to warm your bodies first. The servant has already sent people to the backyard to report to my master. If you guys wait a moment, my master will definitely come out to see you."
