Lu Yao and others did not know the plot of Ji Sang and the other three. Since the trip was not urgent, they simply rested in the Ran Family Manor to relieve the fatigue of crossing mountains and ridges. Lu Yao also ordered He Yun and Chu Kun to search for local tribes and fellow villagers everywhere, and carefully inquire about which families nearby were looted by horse thieves, intending to return the women, children and others who were abducted by the thieves.
Ding Miao was very impatient with this move, and even Xue Tong and others felt that it would not be so troublesome. However, Lu Yao, with the modern mindset, could not abandon these women and children. In the next three days, he personally led people to various villages in Anyang County and sent a woman, girl and child to their homes.
However, due to several war disasters in Anyang, most of the three-level local institutions in the original township, li and pavilion have been destroyed. Except for some families with family members, other farms, villages and communities are rarely retained, and many residents are displaced, and the original connections between them have been broken. Although Lu Yao was very dedicated, there were still several people who were unable to find their families, or all of them were left untouched, so they had no choice but to entrust them to the local wealthy families. Only the child named Ran Zhan followed Lu Yao closely, and kept pace with him.
The horse thieves intended to kidnap the votes, so many of the women and children who were born in wealthy families. When they returned them, their families thanked Lu Yao and his party for their gratitude. Whenever they gave gifts of gold and silk, Lu Yao refused in every way. In the end, because there were too many gifts, when they set out for Yecheng, they had to free up two pack horses to load them.
Along the way, Hu Liuniang was staring at the gifts enviously. Lu Yao was riding a horse by her side, and then she heard her murmuring: "In three days, I actually got so much money! As expected, black food is the best..."
Lu Yao couldn't help but shake his head repeatedly. This master of Hu's village is really worthy of being a Green Lin Yingxie, and he will never leave his business with three words.
When he thought something was wrong, he quickly cleared his throat and said in a deep voice: "Master of the Great Village, what we do represents the court, and what we do is to eliminate harm for the people, not to eat bad things!"
Hu Liuniang looked at Lu Yao disdainfully: "So you are so dark... Is there anyone in this world that is even darker than the court?"
This is really impossible to continue. Lu Yao urged the horse to whip and went directly to the front of the team by Hu Liuniang.
It was not far from Anyang to Ye County, and it was flat and the road was very fast.
Except for Ding Miao, Hu Liuniang and other few people, the rest of them were the first time to come to this Sanwei area, which was once known as the world's wealth. However, along the way, there were large areas of fields thrown away, and many villages were empty. Only crows flew past the mass graves and made rough and unpleasant screams.
Xue Tong put a shed in his hand and looked around for a while, and finally couldn't help but say, "This place is so deserted, it's very different from what I imagined."
"Over the years, Bingzhou has been a war, and the people have lost their lives, where can it be achieved in Shandong? Only in the war in Tai'an, Wang Jun, Youzhou, provoked the Xianbei, and 20,000 Wuhuan cavalry went south to attack King Sima Ying of Chengdu. The soldiers along the way plundered violently, and the dead were extremely numerous. After capturing Yecheng, the Hu people plundered women even more, and their behavior was like thieves. On the way back, even Wang Jun himself could not bear the rampage of the Hu people, so he ordered those who dared to hold the hiding to behead. As a result, the Hu people sank all the women they plundered in Yishui, and more than 8,000 dead." Lu Yao sighed: "I don't know what Yecheng is, but the prosperity in all parts of Hebei should have disappeared long ago."
After less than half a day, He Yun shouted excitedly in front of him: "Look! Three!"
Everyone rushed to move forward, and soon they saw the towers standing straight into the clouds.
Among the group, Ding Miao had traveled to Wei County and knew Lao Ma, so he explained to everyone.
In the 13th year of Jian'an in the Later Han Dynasty, Cao Cao completely defeated Yuan Shao and had all Jizhou. He then abolished the Three Dukes and became the Prime Minister's Office. He established the Prime Minister's Office to control the government in Yecheng. Later, Emperor Xian of Han appointed Cao Cao as Duke of Wei, and gave the ten counties of Hedong, Henei, Wei County, Zhao State, Zhongshan, Changshan, Anping, and Ganling of Jizhou as Wei State, and established Yecheng as the capital of Wei State. Cao Duke therefore built Yecheng a lot, and during this period, the most famous buildings were Santai.
The so-called Santai is the collective name of the three tall buildings, Golden Tiger Platform, Tongque Platform and Ice Well Platform. These three high platforms are located on the west wall of Yecheng, lined up from south to north. The Golden Tiger Platform is eight zhang high, with 135 houses on it; the Tongque Platform is ten zhang high, with more than 100 houses. Five floors are built on the top of the platform, fifteen zhang high, and all windows are decorated with copper. The roof of the building is also one zhang high, one zhang high, five feet high, and one zhang high, and when the weather is clear, the flowing light can be seen dozens of miles away, as if it is a fairy residence; the ice well platform is also eight zhang high, and deep wells are built under the platform for storing ice, grain, and coal.
The three golden tigers, copper birds, and ice wells are lined up in the north and south, and are 60 steps apart. The high platforms are connected by floating bridge-style pavilions. When they are opened, the three platforms are connected, and when they are closed, the center is suspended. In Chen Siwang's "Bong Biography of the Copper Biography" says: "The two bridges are connected to the east and west, like shrimp salamanders in the sky", which is this.
Buildings like Santai are, on the one hand, like the modern Dubai Tower and the New York World Trade Center, which are a show of economic strength. The grandeur of Santai is enough to set off the magnificence of Yedu. At the same time, it has an extremely powerful military defense role. When it comes to Santai, it can see any movement within a dozen miles of radius centered on Yecheng. Santai itself is a difficult military fortress. If Zhang Qiang bows and crossbows on the platform, it can suppress a wide range of enemy troops and ensure that the battlefield is proactive.
Santai belongs to a military fortress, and there are important settings such as arsenals and stables under the stage; and forty miles outside Santai is a large water surface formed by Cao Publicly digging Zhangqu harbor to train naval forces in the past, so Jinming Gate, the west gate of Yecheng, is quite inconvenient to transport transportation. The famous museum located outside Jianchun Gate of East Gate is Jian'an Station.
Lu Yao and others then turned around and walked eastward, passing through the three gates of Fengyang, Zhongyang and Guangyang on the south side of Yecheng, preparing to stay in Jian'an Post.
When they were truly close to Yecheng, a famous city in the world, they had to admit that the prosperous scenery of the Hebei thoroughfare was very different from the remote Bingzhou. Although they had not entered the city, they had seen pedestrians walking shoulder to shoulder and coming and going. Looking around, there were red men and green women riding in and out of gorgeous manor buildings; there were majestic officials and officials shouting along the way; and more were begging along the way, haggard refugees, who gathered among the dirt shacks, and many of them were already as thin as skeletons.
Forced by the threat of war, a large number of wealthy families left the land and came to Yecheng to settle down. They spent a lot of money and were luxurious, causing a large amount of wealth to be infuriated into this city; and landless farmers who were also forced by the war also gathered here, hoping to find a chance to survive under the boots of wealthy families. There is no doubt that this is a deformed state of prosperity.
Everyone rode through the surging crowds. When they arrived at the Jian'an Post, Ding Miao was stunned.
This Jian'an Post was originally an official post station with a large scale. It was also mentioned in the "Three Du Fu" by Zuo Si, a great scholar of this dynasty. At the same time, Jian'an Post is also a military fortress outside the east gate of Yecheng. In addition to the post station, there are also troops to defend, and the meteorological pixels are called strict. No officials are allowed to move in, which is the most reflecting the difference in identity.
However, at this moment, what fell in front of everyone was an extremely noisy market. In my eyes, I saw a hundred tunnels, huge buildings, and many residences and inns. What I heard was the noise of people, Xiaogu and drums were whistling, Hu and Qiang songs were mixed with smells; if I had a sensation of nose, I could smell the air with the fragrance of wine, meat, and the fragrance of women applying powder orchids and musk...
Ding Miao couldn't help but rub his eyes: "Did you go the wrong way?"
*******
Suddenly I found out that I had been on the homepage of history and military again, and rubbing my eyes was a surprise.
