According to "Shui Jing Zhu" records: There is Dangtu Mountain in Ping'a County, Huai River comes out of Jing Mountain to the left, Dang Tu to the right, runs between the two mountains, and Xiyang Tao is in the north. Yicheng County is located on the Huai River
The turning point after passing Jing and Tuer Mountains is the so-called Hetao terrain.
The Hetao must bring prosperity and wealth to the surrounding areas, even for a river as violent as the Yellow River. If it weren't for the special geographical location, Yicheng's prosperity might not be worse than Shouchun City. This place at the junction of three states,
Not only is it a battleground for military strategists, it is also a must-pass for armies traveling from north to south.
Born in troubled times and living here, one cannot expect peace and quiet.
But in the summer of the fourth year of Zhongping, Yi Cheng had a good impression of the troops coming and going for the first time. It was not because Qiu Wuwu had committed any crime, although that was also one of the factors. The most important thing was that Yi Cheng, who had suffered from war,
Adults can finally find some fun in war.
The usually deserted county town was now crowded with people, and the streets and alleys were filled with excited chatter. Gambling shops that had been closed for a long time were also reopened one after another, offering different rates based on the gossip gathered by the shop owners.
The core of all the commotion is undoubtedly the battle that is about to start here.
Fighting generals, this long-outdated way of war, although it is no longer practical, is more interesting to ordinary people than real war.
What kind of battle techniques and tactics such as formation changes, psychological warfare, frontal breakthroughs, and double-sided encirclements, where can the famous military commanders practice sparring with real swords and guns so refreshingly?
When I think of the legendary swords and guns, three hundred rounds of fighting, flying sand and rocks, the sun and the moon dimming, the color of the sky and the earth, how many men can't help but get excited and fascinated by it?
As for women, although they have no enthusiasm for fighting or group fights, they still have fun in this grand event. Including the leaders of both sides, nearly half of the participants in the war are young heroes.
Young heroes are usually associated with words such as handsome and mighty, especially Wang Yu, a legendary figure who is famous for his romance. He has attracted the attention of older girls and younger wives.
Not only the residents of Yicheng County, after the news spread, qualified people came from all directions, not to mention Zhongli, Ping'a, Dangtu, which were relatively close, and even Longkang, Xiacai and even hundreds of miles away.
There were people from Shouchun and Hefei who made a special trip. Most of them were ordinary people who simply came to see the fun. But there were also celebrities from aristocratic families with various purposes.
Of course, this does not mean that aristocratic families are doomed to have ulterior motives. Most people still want to get close to each other.
Although Que Xuan and the small and medium-sized families in Xuzhou did not play much role in the Battle of Xuzhou - Cao Bao, a frightened bird, was already frightened. After witnessing Liu Bei's defeat on the north bank of Surabaya, he was even more frightened and ran away on the spot.
He ran away, and the hundreds of elites who had gathered collapsed without a fight. Some surrendered to Wang Yu, some ran to Guangling, or scattered in the countryside, and some ran back to report the news——
The characteristics of Danyang soldiers are destined to have people who care about family and friendship and will not escape alone.
As a result, the more than 2,000 soldiers and horses in Xiaxiang City collapsed, and Xuzhou's powerful coalition forces captured Xiaxiang City without a single shot.
After that, Wang Yu's handling was also very thought-provoking. He did not take the prime minister by force. Instead, he made a deal with Que Xuan again.
The latter once again contributed 500 armors and 100 craftsmen. Wang Yu's reward was a letter of appointment, and a new order was issued.
The wisdom accumulated by the family over thousands of years has never been low. The wind blown by Li Bin had already made them understand something. Now that Wang Yu has made such an obvious hint, how could everyone still not know the secret?
If the situation is accidental, it is because the powerful coalition forces that captured the city were difficult for Wang Yu to snatch. But then, the Qingzhou army easily captured Suiling and obtained the consideration from Yuan Shu. Wuxian, Zhuyi and Fuli were not able to capture the city by force.
In a hurry to send officials to the place, there was an unusual smell from the inside out.
That shrewd person took out a map and marked several places on it, and soon he suddenly understood.
This is clearly Jiang Taigong's method of fishing and those who wish to take the bait!
Except for Wuxian, these places have a common feature, that is, they are all located in the Suishui River Basin. Qingzhou and Huainan must re-alliance, but according to the principle of distant relations and close attacks, bordering allies usually cannot last long.
The powerful people in Xuzhou saw the situation clearly and needed to show their goodwill. Therefore, Wang Yu's move made it clear that he wanted to get some benefits out of the situation and establish a no-nonsense buffer zone between Xuzhou and Huainan.
This is a rare opportunity! Although the land in the Suishui Basin is not the richest, nor is it very large, it is a sign that Qingzhou accepts powerful families.
In this matter, the Hussars General seemed quite generous. He didn't even impose any restrictions. People who obtained official positions in this area could swing both ways and become mere wallflowers!
Of course, judging from the typical experience of the Que family, if you want to get an advantage here, the price is still very high. However, no one in this world has ever been afraid of high barriers to entry. They are just afraid that they will not be able to get in. The price is not enough.
Did someone talk about it?
If he went directly to visit Wang Yu, his whereabouts would inevitably be exposed, and he would be in trouble. This opportunity was just for testing and establishing connections. Anyway, no matter what the purpose, it can be assumed that he came to watch the excitement.
Who else can blame whom?
This competition was already very attractive, and with so many celebrities coming from afar with their own agendas, and each family having carriages and horses like dragons, and servants like clouds, it was naturally an unprecedented event.
Over the years, the people of Yicheng have seen a lot of various armies, but have they never seen such a prosperous scene with crowns like clouds and vehicles and horses flowing like a stream? For a moment, I almost forgot that I was in troubled times, and how could I survive?
Living a precarious life, I thought that the legendary peaceful age had already arrived.
Therefore, the atmosphere before the start of this battle between dragons and tigers did not have much of a fighting spirit. Instead, everything was filled with joy, making it look like a grand festival.
In such an atmosphere, a group of carriages and horses from Wancheng, escorted by hundreds of soldiers, slowly drove into the south gate of Yicheng County.
"It's so lively here! Sister, sister, look, there's a candy seller over there... Yeah, and what's that long string of red ones? There's someone selling ice over there.
, ground ice, and poured juice and milk on top...it looks delicious."
The voice of excitement and surprise came from a carriage in the center of the queue. From the sound, you could tell that the speaker was young, and the voice itself had a crisp and sweet flavor, but there was nothing missing from what he said.
Involving food, the fresh food sold on the street is described as having all the colors, flavors, and flavors, making people salivate just by listening to it.
"Lu Bo, is this Yicheng County?" Another voice sounded, with a very similar tone. Without the calm tone of the speaker, it would be difficult to tell that this was another person speaking. The sister was not in a hurry to answer her sister's words, but
He asked the coachman in slight surprise.
After entering the city, the speed of the carriages and horses was much slower. The old servant driving the car squinted his eyes, looked around, and sighed deeply: "Yes, miss, this is Yicheng. Compared with back then,
It’s really a big change.”
"Huh? Sister, Lu Bo, have you been here before?" the lively sister asked curiously.
"How can you forget this? A few years ago, when our family went south, didn't we pass by here and stay one night?"
"Impossible!" My sister shook her head and said decisively: "There are so many delicious places, let alone stay for one night, even if I go around outside the city, I will never forget it in my life!"
"Pah!" The soft sound of the blow and the cry of pain sounded at the same time, and the younger sister complained aggrievedly.
"Sister, why are you hitting me? You're only a stick of incense older than me, but you insist on being called sister. A title doesn't mean much, but it's wrong for you to pretend to be a sister and hit someone. No, you have to
The compensation...just the long red skewers, no, no, no, the crushed ice looks more delicious."
The old servant smiled, but did not laugh out loud. He thought he was used to it. The elder sister sighed quietly, with a hint of resentment and helplessness in her voice: "Wan'er, you and I are going to be wives soon, why?
You can still be as careless as a child, so you should be more mature."
"Sister, you really want to get married, are you in a hurry?" The younger sister answered the question in a wrong way, which made her dumbfounded. The resentment immediately dissipated a lot. She took a sip and said with a smile: "As a woman, you are a vine. Marriage
Everything I do is beyond my control. Whether I marry or not, what does it have to do with whether I am in a hurry or not?"
She felt resentful, not because she was dissatisfied with the marriage or anything, but she just didn't like the feeling of being unable to control herself. As soon as her sister interrupted her, her resentment disappeared immediately, and she was in the mood to joke and joke.
"Wan'er, tell me, which one would you rather marry? Going to Qingzhou to marry Wang Pengju? Or going to Jiangdong to marry Zhou Gongjin?"
"Hmm..." The two girls were naturally the famous Jiangdong Erqiao. The younger sister, Xiaoqiao, thought for a moment, but was still undecided. She simply asked: "Which one is more delicious in Qingzhou or Jiangdong?"
?”
"Haha..." The old servant finally couldn't help laughing.
The innocence and coquettishness of a girl is certainly interesting, but what is even more interesting is what lies behind it.
As the fight became more and more intense, the names of the two young ladies had spread all over the country. The whole of Huainan, no, maybe most of the Central Plains were discussing how beautiful the two young ladies were born, and how fragrant and beautiful they were.
The two most famous young heroes in the world are at war with each other.
Among the legends in the streets, there are many versions in which a beautiful woman has been deeply attached to Wang Yu for a long time, but was snatched away by Sun Ce, a villain. These legends are like adding fuel to the fire, making Enter the Dragon more and more popular, but
Who could know that girls' feelings have nothing to do with the two of them?
Of course, if the second lady's wishes are followed, her heart is indeed tied to Wang Qiaoqi. Who doesn't know that Wang Qiaoqi's biggest hobby, besides being a god in military warfare, is to get some fresh food? Maybe, on the street
These new gadgets were brought over by businessmen from Qingzhou.
Therefore, sometimes rumors still have some basis and accuracy.
