Chapter 718: Wuling County

Liu Zheng deliberately stopped in Yichun, but in fact, he mainly wanted to go to the military academy to take a look.

Anyway, he is also nominally, the principal of the military academy, and he can't say it if he hasn't been in the academy for so long to take a look and make a speech.

Of course, when Liu Zheng came here this time, he also invited Lu Jun to accompany him.

Lu Jun in history was basically sick and dead at this time, but because of the appearance of Liu Zheng, Zhang Zhongjing showed Lu Jun and slowly treated Lu Jun's illness.

Over the years, Lu Jun has basically recruited Zhang Zhongjing to take a look, although the disease has not been completely eradicated, but it has not lost his life because of this, which can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune.

Lu Jun is the Yuzhang Taishou under Liu Zheng, and he has also had some exchanges with his uncle Lu Kang recently.

It's just that although Lu Kang has some friendship with Liu Zheng, Lu Kang has always had a good impression of the Han court, and the Han court has not been dissolved for a day, and Lu Kang has always been loyal to the Han court.

Lujiang County has also been horizontal above Yuzhang.

In this regard, although Liu Zheng had said before that he had a great intention of soliciting Lu Kang, Lu Kang did not have the heart to take refuge in Liu Zheng at all, and the friendship was here, several times Liu Zheng fell into danger, Lu Kang did not take advantage of the danger, and also released Yuan Shu and others, it can be seen that although Lu Kang is unwilling to take refuge in Liu Zheng, he is also unwilling to be an enemy of Liu Zheng.

In this regard, Liu Zheng also turned a blind eye to Lu Kang, and did not think of directly attacking Lujiang.

In addition to Lu Jun, Lu Jun's eldest son Lu Xun also followed Liu Zheng to inspect.

Lu Xun, this kid, when Liu Zheng first met him, was just a doll who was still breastfeeding, and now he is eight years old.

followed behind Lu Jun, but he didn't recognize his life, and called Uncle Liu Zheng very well.

Liu Zheng has a good impression of Lu Xun, after all, this is the second-generation general under his command in the future, and it needs to be cultivated well, and Lu Jun also understands that when Lu Xun reaches his age, he will send Lu Xun to study in the military academy.

In the military academy.

Liu Zheng met with Gu Yong, the director of teaching, and now here, most of the things taught are learned in books, because military generals rarely teach here.

Therefore, most of the learning is based on the knowledge in books, mainly explaining the 36 strategies, Sun Tzu's Art of War and other theories.

At the same time, because Zhuge Xuan, who previously served as the county guard of Langya County, returned to Yangzhou together after Xuzhou was defeated by Lu Zhi, Liu Zheng asked him to temporarily come to the military academy as a professor, and he has also performed well here in the recent period.

The three-year military academy study time, the first two years, basically learn book knowledge and train martial arts here, only in the third year, will be arranged to various military camps to practice, take on some practical tasks.

And Liu Zheng met Zhuge Jin, Lu Qiling and others in the military academy, and after giving them some words of encouragement, he took his own men and horses, rushed away, and went to Wuling County.

When he went to Wuling County, Liu Zheng led not many soldiers and horses, and only brought Gao Shun's 2,000 trapped camps.

and a thousand brocade guards around him.

plus Lu Bu, Dian Wei, and two generals.

The reason why he didn't bring too many soldiers and horses was mainly because the two battlefields of Xuzhou and Jingzhou could break out at any time, in case Liu Zheng took all the soldiers and horses away, these two places were raided by the people and horses of the imperial court, and there might be another accident, so after thinking about it again, Liu Zheng still decided to bring only a small number of people.

After all, to deal with some barbarians, there is no need to make a big move, even if you need to mobilize soldiers and horses, Changsha County still has Sun Jian's 20,000 horses that can be temporarily mobilized, and there is no need to worry about soldiers and horses.

Wuling County.

This place in Wuling County has been a magical place since ancient times.

Wuling County was founded in the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, and was later assigned to Jingzhou, located in the southwest of Jingzhou, bordering Yizhou and Jiaozhou. Wuling County has a vast area, with a total of 12 counties, including most of today's northwest Hunan, eastern Guizhou and a few territories in Hubei, Chongqing and Guangxi, and is the largest county in Jingzhou.

But Wuling is also the least developed in Jingzhou, the most backward county, in the heyday of the Eastern Han Dynasty population is only 250,000, except for Hanshou, Linyuan and other places with a slightly higher degree of development, the rest of the area is almost a wild land, these wild lands, is occupied by the barbarians in the south, all kinds of barbarian tribes gathered, there are a lot of them.

Liu Zheng, a modern person, only knows Wuling County is that the famous scenic spot Zhangjiajie is located in Wuling County, where the beautiful scenery, when he was in school, he also learned a text describing the scenery of Zhangjiajie, which impressed him deeply.

Wuling is next to Yizhou's Qike County, which belonged to Yelang Country in ancient times, Yelang Country, and was the first country established by the ancestors of ethnic minorities in the southwest region of Chinese history. The territory is vast and has a long history, but when it was passed down to the Han Dynasty, it was killed by Chen Li, the Han Dynasty's Ke Taishou, and Yelang was also destroyed.

Historically, during the Zhuge Liang period, he participated in a rebellion here, and this area has a famous name called Nanban. Similarly, there were many uncivilized ethnic minorities in Wuling County, known as Wulingman, also known as Wuxi Man, who often rebelled during the Eastern Han Dynasty, causing headaches for the imperial court.

What is different from history is that in the era where Liu Zheng is now, the first person to occupy Wuling County was the thief Guo Shi.

Guo Shi united with those Wuling barbarians in Wuling County, wanting to overthrow the Han Dynasty's oppression of Wuling Man, and once occupied the entire four counties of Jingnan.

However, the good times did not last long, under the encirclement and suppression of Sun Jian and Liu Biao, in the end, Guo Shi lost a lot of territory one after another, and finally with the help of Liu Zheng, only one county of Wuling County remained, which remained in Guo Shi's hands.

Over the years, although Guo Shi and Liu Zheng have maintained some contact, because of their previous status as an alliance, Liu Zheng has not taken the initiative to find trouble with Guo Shi.

Who knows, a year ago, Guo Shi suddenly died, and Wuling County became chaotic again, and the Wuling barbarians inside also became more and more powerful.

often came to harass the people of Jingzhou and Jiaozhou, which made Liu Zheng have to restrain these barbarians.

Yiling County, which is a place on the border of Wuling County and Changsha County.

Liu Zheng led his soldiers and horses here. Waiting for Liu Zheng is Shixie's younger brother Shiwu.

Shiwu was ordered by his eldest brother Shixie to resist the harassment of those Wuling barbarians here, although he only brought 3,000 soldiers and horses to be stationed here, but he was barely in a stalemate with these Wuling barbarians, and did not encounter any accidents.
