Yuannan is one of the twelve counties in Wuling, adjacent to the south of Yuanshui River, so it is named Yuannan.
This is also the southernmost county of Wuling County. If Wuling uses Yuanshui as its state boundary, then Yuannan is the bridgehead of Wuling County in the south. Today, among the twelve counties of Wuling, Cao Cao only has six counties, namely Xiaoling.
, were Tang, Lingling, Hanshou, Linyuan and Yuannan. The remaining six counties were captured by Liu Bei. But Chongxian, Qianling, Youyang, Chenyang, Tancheng and Yuanling were mostly located in the southwest of Wuling.
It is adjacent to Lingling. The combined population of these six counties is less than 200,000. Dancheng is located in the southernmost part, with only more than 20,000 people... The vast land, the stretching mountains, and the mountain people and barbarians that haunt the mountains are also
This is an overview of the southwestern part of Wuling.
Liu Bei bribed the Wuxi barbarians and stabilized the southwest of Wuling.
However, the Wuxi barbarians were only a relatively powerful group among the many mountain people in the southwest of Wuling and could not completely replace the entire mountain people in the southwest of Wuling. Therefore, after Liu Bei occupied the eleven counties in Changsha, he did not have any control over the six counties in the southwest of Wuling.
Bet too much attention.
Except for Chongxian and Yuanling, Qianling, Youyang, Chenyang and Lancheng not only did not station troops, but even moved the population of Lancheng and Chenyang on a large scale and concentrated them in the four southwest counties. It can be said that,
After gaining control of Changsha, Liu Bei began to work on this matter. He gave up Dancheng and Chenyang to alleviate the conflicts among the mountain people to the greatest extent and gain more support from the mountain people and barbarians.
Zhuge Liang also quite agreed with this!
Of course he knew that doing so would be detrimental to future development.
But in the face of Cao Cao's army pressing down on the territory, Liu Bei did this out of necessity.
However, as a result, Chenyang and Dancheng counties were formed, and nearly 30% of the people left their homes and went into the mountains to become local mountain residents.
But most people still obeyed the order and moved to Qianling and Youyang.
On the eighth day of February in the thirteenth year of Jian'an, Cao Peng arrived in Yuannan.
The passers-by included Lai Gong, the prefect of Wuling County, and Pang De, Wei Yan, Wenpin and Wang Wei who were under Cao Peng's orders. Huang Zhong did not come, but stayed at Hanshou and was responsible for supervising the establishment of the Dudu Mansion. And Xun Yu
He did not come, even though he had agreed with Cao Peng before that he would accompany him on the inspection. Unexpectedly, the day after Cao Peng left for Tang Dynasty, he received an order from Cao Cao to go to Jingling to discuss matters.
Although Xun Yu had the responsibility of supervising Jingnan, he was Cao Cao's mastermind after all and had to obey Cao Cao's orders.
As for Cao Peng, he himself had a plotter accompanying him.
Regardless of Fazheng's resourcefulness, Pang Shanmin's stability, and Zhang Song's eloquence, they were enough to meet Cao Peng's current needs. When Jiang Wan arrived in Linyuan with Cao Peng, Cao Peng recommended him to Lai Gong.
Don't underestimate the feelings of fellow countrymen... In fact, in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the importance of this feelings of countryness was far more important than the kind of fellow villagers meeting fellow townsmen in later generations, stabbing each other in the back. It was really affectionate!
Lai Gong's ancestral home is Lingling County, Lingling County, located in the southwest of Lingling.
Jiang Wan is from Xiangxiang, located in the northeast of Lingling County, which is not too close. But after the two met, they became extremely affectionate.
Cao Peng recommended Jiang Wan to Lai Gong, meaning that Jiang Wan should be appointed as the chief minister.
Unexpectedly, without saying a word, Lai Gong took Jiang Wan as the commander of Linyuan and the commander of Wuling. All the three thousand troops and horses in his hands were handed over to Jiang Wan... On the one hand, this was the friendship between fellow villagers, and on the other hand, it was also to express to Cao Peng.
My thoughts. Speaking of history, Lai Gong later surrendered to Liu Bei. Now because Huang Zhong said Xiang, he defected to Cao Cao. But in terms of factions, Lai Gong belongs to Cao Peng's faction.
This point was overlooked by Cao Peng!
The ancients said that Lai Gong returned to Cao Cao because of Cao Peng. To a certain extent, he already had the imprint of Cao Peng's family. If he rashly changed his family, he might not be accepted by others. Moreover, Cao Peng was also extremely
It clearly showed his respect for Lai Gong. Otherwise, it stands to reason that although Lai Gong has a school of troops and horses, this school of troops and horses should belong to Cao Peng, the Hengye general who oversaw the military affairs of Jingnan, and the tiger and leopard cavalry.
The governor's men, Cao Peng, did not take away military power and showed enough goodwill; then as Lai Gong, he would naturally express his feelings. Jiang Wan's arrival was an excellent introduction. Lai Gong handed over his troops to Jiang Wan
, and no one made any irresponsible remarks. After all, Jiang Wan was Lai Gong’s fellow countryman. With this level of fellow villagership, if Lai Gong didn’t believe Jiang Wan, who would he believe?
The problem is, Jiang Wan is Cao Peng's subordinate.
In this way, Lai Gong was equivalent to releasing the military power in his hands and returning it to Cao Peng.
In return, Cao Peng said that those in charge of government affairs respected Lai Gong's opinions and that although he was the governor of Jingnan, he would not interfere in Jingnan affairs.
The affairs of Jingzhou are governed by the people of Jingzhou.
Cao Peng once again expressed his attitude to Lai Gong, and Lai Gong was also from Jingzhou, so he was naturally satisfied with Cao Peng's move...
"Ling Ming, from now on, Yuannan will be handed over to you!"
Riding his horse by the Yuanshui River, Cao Peng stood up, pointed to the other side of the river, and said, "I will order Gongyan to set up a stronghold on the north bank to protect your rear.
In ten days, Bohou will enter Dongting.
And at that time, I will ask Bohou to use boats to ply the Yuan River, transport supplies, and guard your flanks to prevent Liu Bei from attacking from Yuanling. And your task is to attract Liu Bei's attention, at least to Yiyang
Soldiers and horses must be held back by me."
The man stationed in Yiyang was Liu Pan.
When Pang De heard this, he immediately bowed on his horse and said, "Don't worry, sir, but De is still alive. I will never let Yiyang send out a single soldier."
Cao Peng nodded, turned his horse's head, and looked up.
But in the distance, mountains loomed, and mist filled the air. Changsha County is still a barbaric wilderness now, far from being comparable to the land of plenty in later generations.
After pondering for a moment, he suddenly asked: "Prefect Lai!"
"Grand Governor."
"Under the rule of Wuling, there are many people in the mountains.
If it can't be solved, it will be a big hidden danger after all. I know that Bo Qian is a great talent and needs to come up with a way to solve this problem earlier. If the troubles of the mountain people can be calmed down, firstly, they can develop with peace of mind, and secondly, they can
Increase the population of Wuling. This is a major issue related to the future of Jingnan. I ask the eunuch to put more thought into solving it as soon as possible... If it succeeds, I will ask for Bo Qian's credit in front of the prime minister one day."
Lai Gong was immediately overjoyed, "Don't worry, Governor, Gong will do his best to save the Governor from worries."
Cao Peng smiled and expressed his gratitude.
He got off his horse and climbed a mound on foot.
In his previous life, he had never been to Hunan, but now, he has experienced the most primitive Hunan customs. The development of the two lakes was during the Wei and Jin Dynasties in the Northern and Southern Dynasties. Because of the large-scale population migration at that time, it made up for the shortcomings of the southern population, which created the development of later generations.
The two lakes are rich in talents.
Are you interested in filling the lake for development?
The problem is, given the population base of the two lakes, there is no need for large-scale lake reclamation and development.
If we want to develop the two lakes, we can only move forward in a down-to-earth manner. Sun Quan's actions in Jiangdong opened up an idea for Cao Peng. The population of Jiangdong is also not large, but after nearly a hundred years of conquest, it has been able to maintain a population similar to that of the north.
quantity.
Among them, there is of course the natural moat of the Yangtze River, which makes there relatively few wars in the east of the Yangtze River.
However, Sun Quan's massive conquest of Shanyue in Jiangdong and the plundering of mountain people to fill the population were also an important reason why Jiangdong's population base later surpassed that of Bashu. The plundering of mountain people? and Cao Peng implemented the policy of buying and selling Qiang and Hu as slaves in Hexi.
Different approaches but similar results.
The number of mountain people in Jingchu is not necessarily less than that in Jiangdong.
The development history of any region, or even a country, is inevitably stained with blood and tears.
Cao Peng didn't know whether he should make such a suggestion to Lai Gong. But this idea had already been engraved in his mind...
At the appropriate time, Cao Peng will make suggestions.
If Lai Gong couldn't carry it out, he wouldn't mind and suggested to Cao Cao that Lai Gong be dismissed and replaced with a prefect with iron-blooded skills.
But for now, it’s too early!
"The article is long!"
"The end will be here."
Wei Yan stepped forward quickly.
Although in private, Cao Peng would respect Wei Yan as an elder brother, but when there were many people, he would still maintain the dignity of General Hengye.
"When you are stationed in Lingyang, you need to pay attention to one thing.
I remember that in the early years, when my brother led the Yiyang military soldiers, he often went deep into the barren mountains to fight with the mountain people?"
"Exactly."
"Now, your soldiers mostly use swords and shields, and they need to practice frequently."
Wei Yan heard this and quickly agreed.
To put it bluntly, Cao Peng's arrangement was to allow Wei Yan to contain the Wuxi barbarian soldiers and horses. At the appropriate time, they could be surrounded and suppressed, or even completely eliminated. At the same time, he was also responsible for preventing Chen from filling the county. And Yi Dao's
Wenpin will provide appropriate support and assist Wei Yan in pacifying the barbarians in the mountains.
There are five thousand soldiers under Wei Yan's tent, two thousand of them are sword and shield soldiers.
It is equipped with horizontal knives that have just been transported from Heyi Workshop, which are most suitable for fighting mountain barbarians. Supplemented by 1,500 hooks and 1,500 archers, it must not be a big problem.
.But Cao Peng also knew that there would be a long-term battle with the mountain barbarians. Maybe two or three years, maybe five or six years, or even more time. If this kind of equipment can be adapted to mountain warfare, Cao Peng will make suggestions to Cao Cao,
Strengthen mountain drills. In other words, from now on, Wei Yan Wenpin will be stationed in Jingnan area for a long time. Cao Peng has already greeted Wei Yan, and Wei Yan also expressed his willingness to obey orders.
Jingnan Eighth School?
Cao Peng walked down the hill, turned over and sat astride the horse.
"Let's walk forward and observe the topography."

Fuchun, Sunfu.
From the outside, the Sun Mansion seems to be a bit dilapidated. However, as the place where the Jiangdong Sun family rose to prominence, the interior of this ancestral home is still quite gorgeous.
In the martial arts field in the back house, a young man was holding a coiling dragon gun, flying and dancing with great vigor.
On the side, several burly servants stood silently, looking at the young man in the martial arts arena, but there was not much respect in their eyes, but a touch of disdain. As the young man shouted, he put away the Coiling Dragon Spear. His whole body was full of emotions.
Up and down, soaked with sweat. He rested on the spot for a while, put the big gun back into the weapon rack, and strode away. From the beginning to the end, the young man ignored the burly servants.
Just like the disdain in the servant's eyes, the young man ignored their existence.
Several servants hurriedly followed, but they saw the young man suddenly stopped under the Moon Gate, turned around suddenly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes: "What, do you want to follow me into the back house?"
The servant showed embarrassment and said quickly: "Young master misunderstood, we just..."
"snort!"
Before the servant could finish speaking, the young man had already walked into the Moon Gate.
When the young man's figure disappeared completely, the servant suddenly spat on the ground, "If it weren't for the care of Marquis Wu, how could you be so arrogant?"
"Third brother, shut up!"
The servant who seemed to be the leader said in a deep voice: "That is the eldest son, the son of Marquis Wucheng, and the nephew of the lord. How can you say disrespectful words? If someone listens to it, you may be killed."
Misfortune. My lord asked us to protect you, but I didn't let you complain here. As long as the eldest son is in this house, why should you and I care about him? It's not impossible to just let him curse a few words."
"I know, brother!"
Several servants turned and left. The leader glanced at the Moon Gate and sighed softly.
He knew very well why the lord sent them here. Although the young man was young, he had an extraordinary family background. These six counties in Jiangdong belonged to the Sun family, but they were not conquered by the lord. This was conquered by Sun Bofu, the Marquis of Wucheng.
After coming down, although the lord has now secured his position, he is still extremely wary of the talented young man. The reason? Very simple, just because this young man's father is the one who has a prominent reputation and is respected as the Little Overlord of Jiangdong.
Sun Shao, the son of Sun Ce and Sun Bofu, the former lord of Jiangdong.
Although Sun Ce is dead, his influence still exists.
Even though eight years have passed, many people still remember Sun Bofu's majesty back then.
Those Jiangdong veterans, such as Cheng Puhan and Huang Gai, are not allowed to go into details; the generals who followed Sun Ce to conquer the world now have a decisive position in Jiangdong. Needless to say, Zhou Yu is the commander-in-chief of the Jiangdong navy, and even Sun Shao.
His uncle. Others, such as He Qi, Jiang Qin, and Tai Shici, were also important ministers of the Sun family and held great power. Among the civil servants, there were also many people promoted by Sun Ce.
For example, Zhang Zhao or Zhang Hong, which one was not Sun Ce's confidant back then?
If you are unsure about domestic affairs, ask Zhang Zhao; if you are unsure about foreign affairs, ask Zhou Yu!
This was Sun Ce's instructions before his death. But in fact, it was also to preserve the strength of his son Sun Shao. This was also Sun Quan's intention in sending Zhou Yu to Chaisang, and at the same time vigorously recruiting talents and promoting Lu Su, Zhuge Jin and others. If Sun Shao grows up
Who dares to say that Zhou Yu and others will not support Sun Shao? As long as one person jumps out, more than half of the Jiangdong officials will express their support.
How could Sun Quan be unprepared?
If Mr. Sun Shaosun is incompetent, then that's it.
But he is a capable man, and he is quite like his father. Some time ago, the veteran Cheng Pu came to visit. After seeing Sun Shao, he couldn't help but shed tears. He only said that Sun Shao looked like Sun Ce. But this Sun Shao looked like Sun Ce.
Shao's martial arts skills were extraordinary, which made Sun Quan even more worried.
Putting Sun Shao under house arrest in Fuchun was a last resort.
If possible, Sun Quan would not mind killing Sun Shao to avoid future troubles. However, Sun Shao's stepmother took great care of Sun Shao and was even more doted on by Wu Guotai, leaving Sun Quan unable to do anything. If he really killed Sun Shao, Sun Quan would also
You should worry about what Zhou Yu and He Qi think.
In desperation, they had no choice but to imprison him in Fuchun and let him fend for himself...
"Mother!"
Sun Shao walked into the back house and saw a beautiful woman doing embroidery in the garden. Beside the beautiful woman, there were two little girls, who were Sun Shao's two sisters. The eldest daughter's name was Sun Yan, and the second daughter's name was
Sun Li. Among them, the eldest daughter Sun Yan was Lu Xun’s wife in history. But now, Sun Yan is only ten years old, and she is still ignorant and does not know the sinister nature of people’s hearts.
The beautiful woman is none other than Sun Ce's concubine, Da Qiao.
Sun Ce's wife died early, leaving only Sun Shao as his flesh and blood. Sun Ce married Da Qiao, but she died unexpectedly before he could make Da Qiao his wife. The two daughters were Da Qiao's and Sun Ce's.
Flesh and flesh. Although Sun Shao was not Da Qiao's biological child, his respect for Da Qiao came from the bottom of his heart. He knew that if it hadn't been for Da Qiao's desperate protection, he might have become a dead person now...
The year after Sun Ce died, Sun Shao almost died.
Fortunately, the rescue was timely and his life was saved. The reason why this happened was caused by poisoning... Sun Quan said to the outside world that it was the work of those who rebelled against the party, and he saw more than a dozen heads for this. But Da Qiao knew in his heart,
Sun Shao was in the prefect's mansion and was heavily guarded. From inside to outside, they were all Sun Quan's people. How could anyone betray the party and poison him? After that, Da Qiao found Wu Guotai and begged him to return to Fuchun.
Coupled with the protection of Sun Shao's aunt Sun Ren, Sun Shao was able to grow up safely.
Here, Da Qiao must have put a lot of effort into it...
Da Qiao was only twenty-four or five years old. She was extremely beautiful, dignified and virtuous.
She said warmly: "Shao, have you finished practicing your marksmanship?"
"Um!"
Sun Shao looked at the row of boxes on the porch, suddenly frowned, and asked softly: "Mother, where did these boxes come from?"
"Your uncle sent someone to deliver it."
Da Qiao smiled and suddenly said: "By the way, your little aunt will come to visit today.
In a moment, I will have some food and wine prepared so that I can entertain your little aunt in the evening... As for these boxes... Shao, maybe it won't take long before you can leave here and be free."
"What?"
"Your uncle has arranged for you to marry the daughter of the current prime minister.
Prime Minister Cao previously sent someone to propose marriage to you, hoping to marry his daughter to you... You are already thirteen, and you are considered an adult... Your uncle wants you to go to Xudu, and then you can also seek fame. I want to come.
If you want to go, instead of staying here, it’s better to go and explore.
Over there in Xudu...
After all, there is no fear of life.”
Just as Da Qiao said, Sun Shao has grown up.
He knew many things very well in his heart, but he just didn't say them out loud.
A few days ago, Cheng Pu came to visit and asked Sun Shao, "How is your life going?" Sun Shao replied that it was very good, but in reality? In this ancestral house, he was only the nominal owner. All the servants were
Sun Quan sent him here, saying he was serving, but actually he was spying on me.
But he couldn't tell Cheng Pu because he knew that it would be useless to say it.
Now I heard that Da Qiao said that he was leaving here and going to Xudu... Sun Shao was pleasantly surprised at first, but then a solemn look appeared on his face.
"Mother, I heard people say that Cao Cao is a traitor to the Han Dynasty. Why did he agree to the marriage?"
"Shao, whether Cao Cao is a good guy or a bad guy has nothing to do with you or me. In fact, it's not so easy to tell whether it's good or bad. I only know that if you can leave here, you will be much safer after all. If you stay here for a long time, I'm worried that one day,
You will be in danger of your life."
"Mom, where are you and your sister?"
"us……"
Da Qiao hesitated for a moment and said softly: "You are getting married, how can you and your two sisters leave?
However, don’t worry, we will be safe. Your uncle is still here, and after you leave, I plan to take your two sisters to move to your hometown in Lujiang. Although Lujiang is currently in war, our home is still safe.
It's better than being here without any friends."
Da Qiao's father, Qiao Guozhang, is still alive.
The Lujiang River is now divided into two, with one half belonging to Jiangdong and the other half belonging to Cao Cao.
The current governor of Lujiang is named Dong Xi, and he is also a confidant of Sun Quan. However, Dong Xi has a good relationship with Zhang Guozhang Qiao. If Da Qiao takes his two daughters to live back home, there will be no trouble. Gan Ning from Hefei,
It has been very silent recently and has not taken much action. Therefore, the Lujiang River side is relatively safe.
"Mother, I won't go to Xudu."
"Why?"
Sun Shao hesitated for a moment and said softly: "Can't mother see what uncle is thinking?"
"oh?"
"Uncle, he wants to kill someone with a borrowed knife."
"What is killing someone with a borrowed knife?"
Sun Shao said: "A few days ago, I read the "Thirty-Six Strategies" annotated by Cao Sanpian, and one of the strategies was to kill someone with a borrowed knife.
Although it is dangerous for me to stay in Jiangdong, my uncle has some concerns after all.
But if I go to Xudu, it is called a marriage, but in fact it is a proton. If something happens in the future, the child will die without a burial place. My uncle also took this opportunity to get rid of me without leaving any flaws. Besides, I
Once we leave, what will happen to my mother and two younger sisters? Although my uncle is here, he is still my uncle’s servant... He has rarely walked around with us in the past two years, how could he know that he would protect my mother well? "
"But if you don't agree, wouldn't it be more dangerous?"
Da Qiao sighed softly, "Don't you understand your uncle's thoughts?
If you stay in Jiangdong for one more day, he will be more wary of you. Now he still has scruples, but once he finds the opportunity, he will never spare your life. When your father left, he asked me to take more care of you. Over the years
, Although Mom tried her best, the general trend is... the more stable your uncle's position is, the more serious his murderous intention will be towards you. If you stay in Jiangdong... Shao, you will only die! "
"This is the country my father conquered, why can't I stay here?"
"Precisely because your father founded the business, your uncle is even more worried..."
Sun Shao was silent!
After a while, he suddenly said: "Mother, let's leave here together."
"ah?"
"Take my sister and let's leave together.
Even if the life outside is miserable, it is better than the feeling of being a caged bird... Not to mention, my life may be in danger at any time, and the child really doesn't want to stay here. A few days ago, I was reading "Thirty-Six Strategies"
At that time, I saw that there was a plan inside, which was called "walking to the best".
There is no fault for the left time and there is no abnormality.
Since Jiangdong is not a permanent residence, why not find another way out?
You also said that the more stable my uncle's position is, the more he is afraid of me. In this case, let's leave here. With my martial arts, I can always find a place to stay. Mother, if you and your sister continue to stay in Jiangdong, sooner or later
You will also be set up by your uncle, so why bother?"
Sun Quan is definitely an unscrupulous master!
Mrs. Da Qiao is not unaware of this.
However, in this huge world, where can one find a place? Sun Shao is unwilling to go to Xudu and wants to take her mother and daughter away, which is not easy...
"Shao, since there is so much chaos today, where can we find shelter for our mother and son?"
Sun Shao was silent!
After a while, he whispered: "Mom, I have a place to go. I'm afraid that even if my uncle knows about it, there's nothing he can do about it... I just don't know if mother is willing to go?"
Da Qiao was startled and asked quickly: "Where is that?"
