This is a famous city with a long history. There have been human activities since the Stone Age. The ancestors of the Yue people lived here and made a living by fishing for generations. In the Spring and Autumn Period, Wu and Yue fought for hegemony here for many years. Later, Yue destroyed Wu and Chu.
Yue, finally the King of Qin won the government and unified the world. When he established Kuaiji County, he also changed this place to Changshui County.
Later, when Yingzheng was touring the country, he passed by Kuaiji County. The alchemist said that there was a royal spirit here, so Yingzheng felt disgusted, sentenced more than 100,000 people to prison, demolished the city, and slandered its name as Qianjuan County. In Wuyue language, it reads
It is called Youquan County, and there is Youquan Mountain in the county, hence its name.
It was probably King Qin's move that angered heaven. After he left, the officials he retained acted arrogantly and oppressed the local people. Heaven was angry and people complained. There was an old woman who would visit the city gate all day long for several years. The county magistrate was surprised and sent
When the city gate official inquired, the old woman said that the immortal in her dream warned that if there was blood at the city gate, the whole county would turn into a vast ocean.
After the county magistrate heard this, he laughed and didn't believe it. Not only that, he also ordered the city gate official to smear the city gate with dog blood. He wildly said that the First Emperor was ordered by heaven. As an official sent here by the First Emperor, he represents the emperor and God.
There was nothing he could do. The old woman, after seeing the blood at the city gate, left in tears and disappeared without a trace. Only a few families left with her and stayed overnight on Youquan Mountain outside the city.
That night, the county magistrate was suddenly awakened by an official. It was the city gate official named Qian. When the magistrate saw him, although his head was still human, his body had turned into a fish. He was shocked and said: "
Why did you turn into a fish?"
And this Qian cried: "Mingfu is also a fish!" Before he could finish his words, the flood flooded the entire Youquan County. From the county magistrate to almost every household, everyone turned into fish and shrimp. Only those who followed the old woman left.
Only a few families survived.
From then on, Youquan County became a large lake named Tuohu, and the county name was also changed to Danghu County. In the following hundreds of years, the surviving people and the immigrants who later moved in made a living on the lake.
Rice was planted by the lake and became a famous fishing and rice town. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was called Hexing County because of its rich grain production. During the Three Kingdoms period, this place belonged to the State of Wu. In order to avoid the taboo of the crown prince Sun He, it was changed to Hexing County.
Harvest means Jia, which is the origin of the place name Jiaxing. And because Jiaxing is close to the lake and the sea, in addition to growing rice, it is also the location of the famous salt factory in Kuaiji that boils the sea into salt. Therefore, during the Eastern Jin Dynasty, it was renamed Haiyan County.
, it has become an important transportation thoroughfare connecting Wuxing to the north and Shanyin to the south. It is the only way from Kuaiji to Jiankang.
In the lobby of the county government office, an official with a red face and a black beard, about five years old, wearing a green official robe, sat behind the case and was reading a roll of official documents in his hand. This man was Bao Chou, the magistrate of Haiyan County.
And a strong man eight feet in length, with a strong back and strong waist, the same red face, and his appearance are 70-80% similar. At a glance, you can tell that they are father and son. They are wearing soft armor, standing in the hall, leading a group of sword-wielding men.
The armored yamen servant looked at Shen Qingzhi standing in the hall with disdain in his eyes.
This strong man is Bao Chou's son. Bao Sizhi once served as a guard in the capital, and he is very skilled with guns and sticks. The last time Bao and his son followed Xie Yan south to suppress the rebellion, Bao Sizhi once led a school of soldiers and horses.
He personally captured Haiyan County and killed the bandit general Qiu Wang. For his merits, he was named a school captain and assisted his father in garrisoning Haiyan County and guarding the key points from Wuxing to Shanyin.
Shen Qingzhi's body was covered with sweat through his clothes and armor, and big beads of sweat kept sliding down his forehead and temples, but he didn't bother to wipe it off, and said to Bao Hao: "County Magistrate Bao, military situation It's urgent. Please quickly follow the official letter to thank your internal history, oh, it should be General Xie's request, quickly contact Liu Yu's headquarters in Wuxing Wuzhuang, and send someone to Beijing quickly to ask the Beifu Army to come for support."
Bao Hou raised his head and looked at Shen Qingzhi's face with a look of doubt on his face: "Has Lord Shen ever read this official letter?"
Shen Qingzhi shook his head: "I am in a humble position, so I am not qualified to read this official letter. I just followed Commander Yan's military order to deliver the letter here."
Bao Sizhi gave a heavy "hum": "Since you are in a low position and have not read this official letter, how do you know that General Xie is looking for reinforcements from the Beifu Army? Shen Qingzhi, I heard that you fought against the demon thieves, and you are Qinggong. If you rush forward, Zhongfu will be shot deaf in one ear. It must be that you have some kind of auditory hallucination."
Shen Qingzhi did not look at Bao Sizhi, but said sternly to Bao Hu: "Before I came here, I attended the military meeting. Commander Yan agreed to report to the court quickly and ask the Beifu army to come for reinforcements. Now the military situation on the front line is like a fire, and the army is crossing the river with the demon thieves. In the confrontation, there are a large number of demon thieves and insufficient food. They may take the risk and directly attack by force. Therefore, the Beifu Army needs to quickly go south for support. Please ask Bao County Magistrate to quickly send a fast horse to Liu Yu's headquarters in Wuzhuang and ask him to go south. , I will continue to go north to Jiankang."
Bao Hou said coldly: "If you want to find reinforcements, just go there yourself. My duty is to guard Haiyan County. This official letter does not ask me to notify which troops to send for reinforcements. The day before yesterday, Commander Yan The two thousand soldiers who were sent to search the manor in Haiyan have returned. I have already completed this task, and your request from Lord Shen is not from Yan Shuai, so there is no need for me to carry it out."
Shen Qingzhi gritted his teeth and said loudly: "Mr. Bao, the current military situation is like a fire. There are more than 200,000 thieves, and there are still unscrupulous people coming to defect every day. I only have 20,000 soldiers and horses on the front line. If the monster thieves really It may be difficult to resist a full-line attack. At this time, every soldier in the counties and counties in Wudi needs to go to the rescue in order to be successful. He is going to Jiankang in his humble position and will not pass by Wuzhuang. Therefore, he also asked Magistrate Bao to send someone to come. Go and ask Liu Yu to go south. Liu Yu is a mighty warrior in the world. Last time he single-handedly drove away thousands of monsters and thieves. With him here, he is better than thousands of troops."
Bao Sizhi laughed: "You can drive thousands of demon thieves by yourself, but you were clearly ambushed, almost killed yourself, and killed dozens of your companions. If reinforcements hadn't come, how could the demon thieves retreat? It seemed like he was the one who said it. It’s like one person’s contribution. Young Master, I personally led the troops to capture Haiyan County and killed the bandit commander Qiu Wang. My contribution is not much greater than that of Liu Yu? Why don’t you ask me to go south to help?”
Shen Qingzhi wiped the sweat on his face and forced out a smile: "Of course Mr. Bao is also a famous warrior. It would be best if he could join forces with Liu Yu to help, but..."
Bao Sizhi waved his hand impatiently: "Come on, with this kind of pig teammate who only wants to show off for himself, I'm afraid I'll be tricked to death by him. Dad, I'm willing to lead five hundred local soldiers to Xingpu. Last time I only I beheaded Qiu Wang, this time, I must take Sun En’s head!”
Liu Yu's voice sounded calmly in the hall: "Liu is willing to help Mr. Bao achieve this great achievement!"
