Taishan County is located in the easternmost part of Yanzhou and is named after the mountain.////..
In April of the first year of the Yuan Dynasty, Emperor Wu granted Mount Tai a state of Zen awe. King Liu Kuan of Jibei recognized the situation and took the initiative to donate the area around Mount Tai within his territory. Emperor Wu established Taishan County on the land.
Over the past hundreds of years, Taishan County has also undergone many changes. The largest jurisdiction was in the first year of Suihe, Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty. It governed 24 counties, with a total of more than 170,000 households under its jurisdiction and a population of 720,000.
By the end of the Han Dynasty, the jurisdiction of Taishan County had been greatly reduced, with only twelve counties remaining, and the population was less than half of its heyday.
However, in Wang Yu's eyes, the prosperity in Taishan County is still far better than that of Luoyang. Compared with the dilapidated Chenliu and Yingchuan, places like Hedong are like the legendary paradise.
In troubled times, as long as you avoid the flames of war, even remote and remote areas will show an astonishingly prosperous atmosphere.
What's more, the land of Qilu was not a remote place originally, otherwise Du Fu, a great poet of later generations, would not have lamented that Qilu is still in its infancy.
It is the golden autumn season of September. When you climb up and look at it from a distance, you will see that the land of Qilu is lush and green, and the endless sky and mountains are like a huge green jade stone, blending into the sky and sea from a distance. At a glance, it makes people feel breathless.
The feeling of forgetting both things and myself.
"Brother Wang, your poem sounds unfinished. Is there anything more to say?" It wasn't until he heard Cai Yan's soft voice that Wang Yu realized that he was reciting a poem again without knowing it.
He didn't mean to plagiarize, but Chinese people just have this habit of using poems and songs to express their inner emotions. It doesn't matter if you don't have the ability to write poems, you can just pretend to be cool by copying other people's wisdom.
Don’t you see that all the scenic spots in later generations use the poems of the ancients for promotion? The eternal famous sayings of the poets have long been inseparable and integrated with Mount Tai, the head of the Chinese mountains. Therefore, although Wang Yu is not a cultural person, he still blurts it out
.
"Have I written poetry again?" For fear that Cai Yan would discuss this issue in depth, Wang Yu quickly resorted to two tricks: pretending to be stupid and changing the subject. "People say that love comes from the heart and comes from the heart. This is really true.
, the scenery is so beautiful that even a warrior like me can compose poetry..."
As he said that, while admiring Sister Cai's charming eye roll, he turned to Yu Jin and asked, "Wen Ze, we just passed by Juping. Why don't you go home and have a look, or simply pick up your family?"
Yu Jin bowed slightly and replied: "Thank you for your concern. As early as the beginning of joining the army, Jin's family had already moved to Fenggao."
Wang Yu nodded. His father was not good at military and political strategy. He was a full-fledged knight-errant and took good care of his own people.
"Qingzhou Yellow Turban has been around for a long time. Taishan and Qingzhou are close neighbors, but they have such a prosperous scene. Wen Ze, do you know the reason?"
Yu Jin thought for a moment and then replied: "There are many reasons, it is difficult to describe them all at the moment, but the main reason is because of the terrain and humanities..."
There are many mountains in Taishan County, including Taishan Mountain in the north, Linle Mountain in the east, and Mengshan Mountain in the south. This is the main mountain range. There are other mountains with numerous names, dozens of them distributed in all directions. Surrounded by mountains, they form a natural
barrier.
Between the mountains, there are large stretches of hills, which are not much of a natural chasm, but they also greatly increase the difficulty of marching for large groups of people.
Although Taishan County is very large, only the long strip from the foot of Mount Tai in the center to Laiwu in the northeast, that is, the Wenshui River Basin, belongs to the plains and is where the essence lies. The rest of the county is a real backcountry with little to gain, and the Yellow Turban naturally
There will be no interest in large-scale action.
Laiwu borders Qi State in Qingzhou, which is where Linzi, the administrative seat of Qingzhou, is located. It is the most stable place in Qingzhou. Because of these layers of shielding, although Taishan County is located in a strategic pass, it has never experienced much damage.
War.
In addition to geographical factors, the local humanities of Mount Tai are also one of the important factors.
The land of Qilu is the hometown of Confucius and Mencius, and it is also a place famous for its strong folk customs.
"Historical Records. Biographies of Huo Shi" records: "With the mountains and seas... the people are brave enough to hold thorns, so they often rob people." To rob people with thorns is to rob people with knives, and there is no business. It can be seen that in later generations, Shandong
The history of thieves is long and well-established. In the era of Tai Shigong, they were already famous.
Therefore, although there are many bandits in Qingzhou, there are also many bandits in Taishan. Moreover, the Taishan bandits are different from the scattered situation in Qingzhou. They have a unified leader and accept unified orders.
They are both thieves, but organized ones are definitely more powerful than unorganized ones. The main sphere of influence of Taishan thieves is in the eastern part of Taishan County, which plays a greater shielding role than the mountains and mountains.
"Taishan thieves? Are they not the Yellow Turbans?" How to distinguish the Yellow Turbans from thieves from various places is a very complicated question, and Wang Yu couldn't figure it out for a while.
"Not only are they not Yellow Turbans, but they should be considered regular troops of the imperial court. For example, Zang Ba, Sun Guan and others in the Xiaoju Mengshan area. They occupied Kaiyang of Langya Kingdom and had tens of thousands of troops. Tao Shijun of Xuzhou recruited them and recommended Ba Ba
As a cavalry captain, he is allowed to do his own thing in Langya Kingdom, just like the princes."
"In addition to Zang Ba and Sun Guan, who have become popular, scattered bandits from various places are also recruited. This is how Jibei Prime Minister Bao Xin's 20,000 troops were recruited. It is forbidden to hear that Bao Xin recruited troops and left the country that day
Afterwards, the atmosphere in Taishan County became clear. Bandits had not been seen for a long time, and the house was almost closed at night..."
Wang Yu listened with great interest, and would not know the special conditions of these places unless he went to a certain place and got to know it in depth.
Taishan County relied on local thieves to fend off thieves from other places; Tao Qian of Xuzhou relied on thieves from out of town to fend off both local and foreign thieves, and both sides were still safe.
Can he take advantage of these thieves? Zang Ba and Sun Guan seem not to be famous in history, but according to Yu Jin, Tao Qian allowed this person to occupy the Langya Kingdom and also granted him an official position. It seems that he is also a very good person.
What a remarkable person.
While he was pondering, a burst of cheers suddenly came from the team in front. Wang Yu followed the sound and saw the majestic figure of Mount Tai in the distance, which made people feel breathtaking.
The soldiers cheered not because they saw the beautiful scenery, but because the destination was right in front of them, and the long journey was finally over.
Fenggao City is located about forty miles east of Mount Tai, in the center of the Tai Lai Plain. This place is surrounded by water on three sides: the Yingwen River to the east, the Mouwen River to the south, and the Shiwen River to the west. There is ample water.
The land is fertile and it is the richest place in Taishan County.
When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty enshrined Mount Tai, he took a fancy to this geomantic treasure land at a glance, so he named it Fenggao, built a palace and a bright hall here, and stayed here many times.
Because of this, this small county town, which was originally not well-known, suddenly became a famous city in the East during the Han Dynasty, and even had the reputation of being the first city in the East.
The Wang family in Taishan has lived here for generations, owning thousands of fields and hundreds of mansions. After more than ten generations, the Wang family has accumulated a lot of wealth and has a high reputation in the local area, but it has never produced any big shots.
However, in this autumn of the first year of Chuping, a hundred years of accumulation finally came to a head. In just a few months, the Wang family's Qilin'er became famous all over the world and returned with a great reputation.
Upon receiving the news of the arrival of Wang Yu's large group of troops, Fenggao City was immediately in a state of excitement. People put down their work and poured out of the city gates, eagerly awaiting the arrival. The streets were lined with thousands of people emptying out to welcome them.
The fourth champion of the Han Dynasty, he was also the youngest and unprecedented one!
The battle was invincible, and Dong Zhuo, who was so majestic and unstoppable that all the princes could not control him, was invincible and fled to Xiliang!
How many people can stand shoulder to shoulder with such a heroic figure throughout the 400-year history of the Han Dynasty?
Is it any wonder that the people are so joyful?
It is certainly worthy of pride that a hero has appeared in our hometown, but what is even more gratifying is that this hero is back! In this chaotic world, is there anything more reassuring than a great hero sitting in our hometown?
The people's enthusiasm was so high that even before they saw Wang Yu's team, the cheers were already rising and falling, deafening. It made the Wang family's own team look inconspicuous.
"Master, Yu'er... is really..."
Since the Wang Yu rarely went out in the past, the Wang family would not go out of their way to spread such embarrassing things, so others had no impression of him. But for the Wang family, especially Wang Yu's mother, this change was
It was so unbelievable that if it weren't for Wang Kuang's repeated explanations and the governor Ying Shao's approval, she wouldn't have believed it at all.
Even now, the news has completely spread, she still feels as if she is in a dream. If it were not a dream, how could her son have such a change, from a coward despised by his family to a champion admired by the world?
"If it wasn't true, how could Ying Shijun be willing to leave just like that? How could the people come out to welcome you in such a grand way?" Lao Wang Kuang smiled while twirling his beard, filled with emotion: "Earlier, Ying Shijun was still reluctant to leave.
However, a personal letter from Yuan Jiujiu completely stopped him from thinking about it. You must know that Yuan Jiujiu is the legitimate son of the Yuan family, the fourth generation and the third prince!"
Turning to look at Cai Yong, Wang Kuang's smile became even brighter: "If I hadn't relied on Pengju's ability, how could I have invited Brother Bojie to come to Mount Tai?"
Cai Yong knew that his old friend was joking, but he had no time to reply. He just stared at the official road to the west. Soon, the treasure he had been looking forward to for a long time would appear in front of him. The joy he felt was even greater than that of a father and his daughter.
Reunion is countless times better.
Seeing Cai Yong's expression, the Queen Mother had no doubts anymore and just murmured: "If this is a dream, I hope I will never wake up..."
"Here we come!" The sound of rumbling footsteps could be heard vaguely in the distance. Dust and smoke rose on the official road. Wang Kuang was in high spirits, and the cheers on both sides of the road became louder and louder.
"The Champion of the Great Han Dynasty!"
"General Hussars!"
"Tarzan the Little Bully!"
"Wang Pengju of Mount Tai!"
No one can really predict what Wang Yu's arrival means, but except for a few people, most people think that this is a great good thing. Since the Hanwu era, the biggest crisis that has ever happened in Fenggao City has
Good thing!
…
Almost at the same time that Wang Yuyi returned home, in the distant Jingnan, someone was working hard to leave home.
"Get out! Get out of here, anyone who stands in my way will die!"
A thunderous roar came from a luxurious mansion. As the roar became louder and louder, the whole mansion seemed to be shaking. It was not an illusion caused by the roar, but it was really shaking, as if
The earth dragon turned over, and it seemed as if a hurricane was sweeping past!
Passers-by outside the mansion were stunned with fright. Behind the high courtyard wall, all kinds of things kept flying up, including tables, weapons, stone locks for practicing, and even the rockery in the yard!
These common or uncommon objects seemed to have turned into toys in the hands of children, being thrown around, and then fell to the ground with a loud bang accompanied by smoke and dust all over the sky, as if they were about to cover the entire city of Changsha.
Shake it up.
"Sir, don't get excited, the lady said...ah!" It seems that someone is working hard to stop all this. However, his efforts are in vain, and in the end he can only end up like a trapeze artist.
"What's going on?" a passerby asked with a pale face.
Someone who understands said: "The little bully of the Sun family went berserk again... It seems that this time he is even more angry than before. Don't just watch here. If you don't leave, be careful of causing harm to Chi Yu. You have a life, it's enough."
That Demon King incarnate in one breath?"
Passers-by fled away, not even daring to look back, leaving the mansion alone and trembling.
In the mansion, a group of people who looked like generals formed a large circle from a distance. The people in the back row held sticks in their hands, and those in the front row held up large shields. They fearfully put on a posture as if they were facing a powerful enemy, and beat a weak crown.
Young people gathered in the middle.
"Brother, brother, don't be like this. Mother is not at home. Even if you want to go out, you must inform mother."
The person surrounded by them was just a weak-headed young man. He was roaring and venting with rage. A younger boy kept trying to persuade him. Not far away, there were several pale-faced boys crowding around.
into a ball.
"If mother were here, how could she be willing to let so-and-so go out of the city? Zhongmou, tell these people to get out of here quickly, otherwise, don't blame me for being rude. If you die or get hurt, you are all asking for it!" The older student said
The young man glanced coldly, filled with murderous intent.
Although he was bare-handed, the heavily armed generals were still startled. They involuntarily took a few steps back, grasped the shield in their hands more firmly, and raised it higher.
A little girl suddenly jumped out from behind the rockery. She looked very cute, but her behavior was not cute at all.
I saw her jumping with her feet, waving her little fists, and shouting in fear of chaos in the world: "Fight, fight! Second brother, stop nagging, let the eldest brother have a good fight. After beating these troublemakers, we can go to Luoyang to find that person."
Wang Peng is here to fight and see who is the real bully."
The young man laughed loudly: "Girl, you still know me! Did you hear me? Get out of here. If you don't, you know what will happen!"
As he said that, he flew up and kicked the shield at the front. With a loud bang, the general and his shield were kicked several feet away.
"Brother, is Wang Pengju in Luoyang now? It's still in between. Even if you go, what will you do if you can't find him? Are you just wasting your time on the road? Let Wang Pengju fight abroad and continue to accumulate strength.
, become famous all over the world?”
"..." The ferocious young man was startled for a moment, then thought about it and smiled again: "What you said makes sense. It doesn't matter. If he is not in Luoyang, I will go to Nanyang to find my father and serve in the army until Xiangyang City is conquered.
Take all of Jingzhou, then raise troops and go north to settle accounts with him. Zhongmou, after I leave, you can support your mother at home and take care of your brothers and sisters."
With that said, he walked straight to the gate. All the generals were familiar with the power of this eldest son. After seeing the power just now, they also knew that he was ruthless. How could they dare to stop him again? They could only let him leave in a big stride.
"Brother!" Several teenagers shouted in unison, full of worry and reluctance. The only noise came from the mouth of the little girl. She smiled like a silver bell, waved her arms and shouted: "Brother, don't hurt everyone.
It’s all finished, remember to leave a few for me..."
