Yinlang County is located in the southernmost part of Dayan, bordering the Jin State on one side and the Qian State on the other.
A hundred years ago, the name of Yinlang County was actually Yinlang County;
This was the name of the first prime minister after the founding of the Yan Kingdom, because of his role in helping Yan Taizu establish the country and He made great contributions in the process of governing the country, so his hometown county was named after him.
It gets its name because of people, and similarly, it also changes its name because of people.
This name change is also related to the first generation of Zhenbei Hou.
A hundred years ago, when the desert barbarians fought a decisive battle with Dayan under the call of the royal court, the new emperor of the Qian Kingdom marched in person, and the 500,000-strong Qian Kingdom army made the northern expedition. The Yan Kingdom faced the danger of being attacked from both sides. situation.
The next step is the familiar battle of the first Zhenbei Hou with 30,000 to defeat 500,000.
On that day, after the great defeat of Qian's army,
the first generation of Zhenbeihou once wrote a poem:
"Raise the whip and drive the horses to chase the silver waves, "Looking at the peach blossoms from afar."
The Yinlang here refers to the fact that the 500,000-strong army of the Qian Kingdom was routed thousands of miles away. On the road of Yinlang County, corpses were scattered on the road, and the armors worn by the soldiers of the Qian Kingdom were scattered. It reflects the luster in the sun, like rolling silver waves.
The latter sentence refers to the leisure time during the pursuit. This is not fighting or fighting, it is just an outing to see the peach blossoms.
Whether Zhenbeihou paid attention to his opponents in terms of tactics is not known to future generations. Anyway, the Qianguo army was completely defeated and its military fortunes were interrupted since then.
These two lines of poems can be said to vividly express the strategic attitude of the first Zhenbei Hou to completely despise the Qianguo army.
In addition, the first generation of Zhenbei Hou was actually from the original "Yinlang County" and was an authentic southerner of the Yan Kingdom.
For this reason, Yinlang County was later renamed Yinlang County.
On the other hand, in official documents between the Qian Kingdom and the Yan Kingdom, whenever Yinlang County is mentioned, "Yin Lang" is used instead.
In fact, the word "Yinlang" is so irritating to the eyes of the Qian people. Every time they see this place name, the Qian people will subconsciously think of the poem by the first Zhenbei Hou;
Then I thought of the tragedy a hundred years ago, and the tragic situation of the soldiers and corpses of my own children scattered across the fields...
Seventy percent of the Qian Kingdom's border troops were used to defend the Yan Kingdom, and the remaining 30% were Distributed on the border with Jin and Chu.
The Yan State forcibly placed 300,000 of the country's most elite Suppression Army cavalry in the north to intimidate the barbarians. On the southern border of their empire, they only set up one Border town - Nanwang City.
Cuiliu Fort is a link in the defense chain with Nanwang City as its core. There are eight other forts similar to Cuiliu Fort.
Compared with the strict preparations over there in the Qian Kingdom, things here in the Yan Kingdom seemed much more perfunctory.
There is no way, the century-old prestige is here, the psychological advantage is here, the strong self-confidence is here, maybe, this series of Nanwang City and Cuiliu Fort are here.The defense is still to worry about the face of the Qian people.
After all, the area from Yinlang County to Tiancheng County, the capital of Yan State, is completely flat.
Once something happens in Yinlang County, the Yan Kingdom’s cavalry will arrive in a day or night.
Over the past hundred years, countless men from the Yan Kingdom have dreamed of recreating the glory of the first Zhenbei Marquis, becoming a marquis and becoming a prime minister!
Unfortunately, Qian Guo never gave him this chance.
It is said that Cuiliu Fort was named after the first generation Zhenbei Marquis.
According to legend, when the fort was built, the first generation of Zhenbei Hou planted a willow branch here.
At that time, the first generation of Zhenbei Hou was very ambitious. He thought that by the time this willow branch would grow green willows, he would have led his army to conquer the capital of Qian Kingdom.
It is a pity that fate has played a trick on people. Due to the urgent war in the north, the Yan State could no longer allocate more troops and horses to the first Zhenbei Hou from the front line of the decisive battle with the barbarians.
The first generation of Zhenbeihou had to lead his army to conquer the three northern counties of Qian State to absorb the population and wealth and return to the country. Later, for the sake of checks and balances, the first generation of Zhenbeihou, who was a southerner, was granted the title of Beibei, and he was unable to complete his life. It is my long-cherished wish to go south to Pogan.
"Let me tell you, there are so many willow trees here, which one was planted by the first Zhenbei Hou?"
Zheng Fan, who was riding a horse, asked the people around him. .
"Is the Lord very interested in this?" Siniang, who was riding alongside Zheng Fan and had disguised herself, asked.
"What if the first generation of Zhenbei Hou buried any treasures under that willow tree, for example, Zhenbei's suicide note?"
"This is easy to handle, Your Majesty. Exit I ordered the blind man to use his mental power to explore in the willow forest for a month without eating, drinking or sleeping. I guess he can find it."
Bei, the blind man next to him, subconsciously thought. He coughed, interrupted the unreliable chat between Zheng Fan and Siniang, pointed to the front, and said:
"My lord, right ahead is Cuiliu Fort. . ”
“It’s not easy. We’re finally here. Order to speed up and rest in the fort before sunset!”
As soon as he finished speaking,
Zheng Fan Just riding forward,
Liang Cheng behind him waved his hand, and more than 500 barbarian cavalry wearing the same armor as the Zhenbei Army also began to accelerate.
For a while,
horse hooves were heard in the willow forest and dust was flying.
However, just after riding out of Liulin, Zheng Fan had to give the order to slow down the horse again.
As soon as we came out of the forest, our sight suddenly opened up. There was no desolation and decay like the border fortress. Instead, there were fertile fields stretching as far as the eye could see.
There were even many farmers and women working in the fields. When they saw so many cavalry suddenly emerging, they couldn't help but put down their work and began to look at these people curiously.
Zheng Fan couldn't help but look back at the blind man behind him and asked:
"Blind man, are you sure we are not going the wrong way?"
Is this a frontier fortress?
Is this a frontier fortress?
Is this a frontier fortress?
This is not to say that frontier fortresses cannot be used for farming, but the scene of this fertile field, coupled with the ruddy faces of the farmers and women here;
The bitter cold northern land in Beifeng County is naturally incomparable. But even the people of Huwei, Sanshi and Liangjun in the hinterland of Yan State, and even Tiancheng County, a large Yanjing County county that they passed through on the way, are not as rich as here in this day and scene, right?
"Sir, you must be on the right track." Blind Bei replied.
Okay, the humanoid radar said that we were on the right track, so Zheng Fan just believed it.
At the moment, Zheng Fan could only give an order:
"Control the speed of the horses. Whoever's horse tramples the crops will be killed without mercy!"
Zheng Fan gave the order. After that,
Six Niang reached out to A Ming,
A Ming was a little confused and said:
"What?"
"You Give me the nail clippers first."
"What to do?"
"I might want to help you cut your hair later."
A Mingyi. He was a little confused at first, but then he realized it and smiled at Siniang, but did not give her the nail clippers.
Traveling along the way is actually training troops along the way.
After the first experience of the "Devil's Cave" on the first day, the fear of Zheng Fan among these barbarians can be said to be ingrained in their bones. In addition, Liang Cheng is already good at training soldiers. With the cooperation of Blind Man Bei, he camped every night. Ideological and political education, led the barbarian soldiers to talk about the tragic years in the desert when they were squeezed out by the big tribes and nobles. They detained their relatives and served as prisoners of the tribe, that is, they were cannon fodder. Every night, the camp was filled with cries.
In short, this team of 500 cavalry has been integrated. In addition, these barbarians themselves are excellent at volley shooting. It can be said that they are a truly elite team.
With Zheng Fan’s order, the cavalry team began to march slowly on the road.
Nearby farmers are not afraid of food, and some even come over to watch the fun. Of course, there is no such thing as soldiers and civilians rushing to deliver food and drinks.
This can't help but make Zheng Fan a little disappointed. He is thinking that next time he leads the troops on a march, should he inform the blind man and arrange for someone to hire some care in advance?
This group of civilians are not afraid of soldiers. They lead the soldiers there as if they were watching monkeys.
And because most of Zheng Fan's troops are barbarians, their appearance is quite different from that of the Yan people, so this has aroused the curiosity of the local households.
After walking a few miles, the entire nearby village heard the news and came to see the Western scenery. The road, which was not wide, became increasingly crowded.
The history of war between the Yan people and the barbarians is very long. However, in the past hundred years, due to the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, the barbarians have been in a passive state of being beaten. The barbarians are no longer able to attack Yan at every turn. The hinterland of the country was shocked by the scene of wars and smoke all over the Yan Kingdom.
Therefore, local households have no resentment towards the barbarians.
On weekdays, they often see barbarian caravans, and barbarian slaves are often seen in Yan Kingdom.
This is indeed the first time I have seen this kind of barbarian wearing standard Yan** armor.
When taking them from north to south to take office, it also caused some turmoil. Fortunately, this kind of incorporating barbarians into the army is not uncommon in the Yan Kingdom. There is also the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion. After raising four major Guiyi tribes, oh, there are only three left now.
Furthermore, it may be due to the strong national self-esteem of the Yan people, which has been unparalleled in military power for hundreds of years. They don't think there is anything wrong with using barbarians as soldiers, and they don't think there is anything to be afraid of.
This made Zheng Fan feel like the Tang Dynasty in another world.
The people of the Tang Dynasty were also too proud, so they could absorb foreigners into their own system and absorb the elites of foreigners for their own use.
Looking through the history books of the Tang Dynasty, you can see that there are not many Tang army generals with foreign names.
Of course, it doesn't matter when your country is prosperous, but when your country is weak, the saying "Those who are not of my race must have different hearts" will be verified.
The night before yesterday, when Zheng Fan and Blind Bei were drinking, they even teased Dayan about when God knows when An Lushan will appear.
Then,
Blind Bei looked at himself with his white eyes,
Looking at himself,
You taste, you Read it carefully;
He doesn’t know whether Dayan has left Anlushan, but Dayan has already left you.
An Lushan is a Sogdian, and you, Zheng Fan, are not even from this world...
"Get out of the way!"
In order to allow the team to move forward, Zheng Fan had to let his barbarian soldiers clear the way.
The people of Yan are indeed tough, but they are not fools everywhere, and they are not to the point of having to fight with soldiers just to watch the excitement.
Finally,
After marching for about two hours on a short journey, Zheng Fan finally led his troops to the place where he was assigned to his post - Cuiliu Fort.
Then,
Zheng Fan felt like he was blind.
Fort, it is not a city. Zheng Fan knows this. In fact, it is more like the Wubao in Beifeng County. It is also large and small, but it has one more layer than Wubao. The meaning of being directly under the official government is in it.
The castle in front of Zheng Fan,
If you can still call it a castle...
It is not small in area, at least, it can be seen that it used to be The area is not small, enough to easily accommodate thousands of soldiers fighting inside without being too crowded.
But now,
its outer wall has collapsed for an unknown number of years, and
the ruins are still covered with moss.
After getting closer, Zheng Fan even saw reed chickens running out of it,
"GuGu Gu, Gu Gu Gu..."
Arrogantly, he stepped forward in front of Zheng Fan and his barbarian soldiers, as if he was declaring his sovereignty!
This Suddenly, even the blind Bei didn’t know what to say.
After working so hard from the north to the south,
Who could have imagined it?
He actually inherited it. Is it a chicken coop?
Fan Li said with a smile:
“I can eat eggs every day from now on. "
Zheng Fan took a deep breath. He felt like he was dating online now, but sister Zhiling online looked like a flower offline...
"Who is it? ”
At this time, an old man walked out of the chicken farm.
The old man was wearing a worn-out leather armor, holding a clay pot in his hand, and spreading chicken food on it. As he walked out,
When he saw Zheng Fan and the dark barbarian soldiers behind him,
the old man was stunned for a moment,
and then made up his mind. Calming himself,
holding a broken clay pot,
pointed his finger at Zheng Fan and yelled:
"Who is coming! ”
Hey,
Don’t say it,
This old man may not look old, but seriously, he really has that kind of "old soldier will never die" Momentum.
It's just that although this is a borderland, it hasn't fallen, and this veteran is not a lonely warrior.
Zheng Fan breathed out and took two steps forward. , took out his identity token,
said:
"Dayan Cui Liu Fort is guarding, Zheng Fan! "
The old man first came closer and looked at the token. After confirming that it was correct, he took a few steps back and knelt down in front of Zheng Fan:
"My lord, please see me for your humble position! ”
“Who are you? "
"My subordinate Cuiliu Fort is the corps commander and the three iron pillars. "
Zheng Fan put away his token, pointed at the Cuiliu Fort in front, and asked:
"Why is this Cuiliu Fort like this? "
"Sir, Cuiliu Castle has been abandoned for decades. ”
…………
It’s night,
a little cold,
the air is filled with the smell of old chicken excrement Sour,
In short, it’s very shabby.
Zheng Fan originally wanted to build his own soup pool in his Cuiliu Castle.
Finally, my dear, did you build the soup pool into the chicken coop?
You are taking a bath while watching the big roosters feeding yourself?
The barbarians are here? A tent was set up relying on Cuiliu Fort.
Liang Cheng and Fan Li first carried a coffin into the fort, found a relatively clean room, and put the coffin down.
I encountered many obstacles along the way and was asked many times why I brought a coffin when I took office.
Zheng Fan’s answer was:
"Be prepared to wrap your body in horse leather and sacrifice your life for the country."
Many checkpoint guards were moved to death, and many senior officers even took the initiative to invite Zheng Fan to drink and worship him. .
So, Dayan’s atmosphere is still very simple.
Actually, the coffin contains the Shatuo Que Stone.
Ding Hao, Xiao Yibo and Hong Bazi were responsible for escorting the young lady and some belongings from behind and did not follow the team.
There were two chickens cooking in the iron pot, and Siniang also put corn tortillas on the edge of the iron pot, which was considered a ground pot chicken.
"Sir, aren't you just slapping the little man in the face? What's wrong with the little man asking him to eat two chickens when he takes office?"
Old Man Tie came here with the money. He came and shouted.
Zheng Fan did not accept Old Man Tie’s money,
but in a tone that left no room for doubt,
pointed to the opposite side of him,
p>
Said:
"Sit down."
Old Man Tie hesitated for a moment, not daring to give up the money any more, and sat down obediently opposite Zheng Fan.
“How long has this Cuiliu Castle been abandoned?”
“My lord, it’s been almost thirty years.”
“Why has it been abandoned? ”
Is Dayan Border Guard such a ridiculous thing?
If he hadn’t seen the scene in Beifeng County with his own eyes, Zheng Fan would have really thought that the Yan Dynasty was at the end of its dynasty.
"My lord, it was decided by the superiors to disband the soldiers. Our original soldiers of Cuiliu Fort have been dismissed long ago and have not been paid any money or food.
Because of the low position, we have been I didn’t get married, and I already had feelings for this place, so I stayed here.”
“Do the officials above know that the border security is in such a state of disrepair?”
“ You know it, you must know it. The other forts are similar to our Cuiliu Fort. There are no people there anymore. Our place is quite good, because the humble people live here and can still maintain a brick frame or something. The other forts are even stone. They were dragged away by local households to build pig pens.”
Hearing that it was not just Cuiliu Fort that was like this, but all the forts were like this, Zheng Fan knew that this was the case. Dayan officials are clear about the matter.
Zheng Fan couldn't help but ask:
"Aren't you afraid that the Qian people will attack you?"
When Tie Sanzhu heard Zheng Fan's words,
p>Tears immediately soaked into my eyes,
As if the deepest pain in my heart was stabbed, I choked and said:
"Sir Ah, I joined the army at the age of seventeen. In order to join the army, I turned down my mother-in-law, who was promised to me at home, just to wait for the day when I could make military exploits and honor my ancestors.
Who knew?
Who knows,
Who knows!”
Tie Sanzhu stamped his foot, pointed to the south,
grinding his teeth and said:
"I've been waiting here since I was seventeen, and I've been waiting for my fucking forty.For many years, the damned Qianguo people just can’t come here!
My humble life was ruined by the people of Qian who killed me! ! ! "
The blind man Bei, who was sitting next to him and eating oranges, listened to Tie Sanzhu's words,
quipped in a low voice:
"Master Wang Nanwang Another year, Wang Division still had a few companies left. ”
