1.1 All in the water
The little yellow gate who came to proclaim the edict was named Zuo Feng. I don't know which of the middle attendants is with him.
Anche entered Lousang by taxi, and looked left and right, behaving out of manners. How can there be half a point of the momentum of the previous Zhongchang Feng to announce the edict. Or maybe it's the first time I've gone out to preach the edict, and I'm still young, so everything I see along the way is novel. The high-rise buildings are prosperous. It is also very different from the states and counties on the road, and it is fresh everywhere, so I look left and right.
Seeing everyone surrounding Liu Bei, standing in front of the Hou Mansion. Hurriedly drink and stop the car.
After getting out of the carriage, Zuo Feng also stepped forward with a decent broken step, bowed to the ground, and shouted: Slave Zuo Feng, meet the young prince. This kneeling with its own slippery steps must be done with hard work.
Liu Bei stepped forward to help him and welcomed him into the house.
Zuo Feng held the edict high and stood in the middle of the front hall. Liu Bei walked to the bottom and knelt facing him.
Glancing at Liu Bei who was kneeling in front of him, Zuo Feng slowly unfolded the edict.
Reciting aloud:
On the eighth day of October in the fourth year of Xiping, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty said:
"The Southern Barbarians rebelled against the chaos and brought disaster to the country and the people. The Marquis of Lucheng was prepared, and the recruitment of troops was leveled, thanks to the community. Grant the Marquis of the Lord's Country. ”
My edict is so easy to understand and concise.
Liu Bei thanked the edict.
is different from the jubilant Huang Zhong and others. Geng Yong, who is also a local, was confused. It is certain that the official will be promoted. However, what exactly is this Linxiang Hou?
Before he could think clearly, Zuo Feng said again: "When the slave and maid came, the adults explained everything, so that the young prince and the marquis must circle the feudal city as soon as possible and report to the department." ”
Liu Bei was stunned: "Circled? "When will you be a marquis, you have to enclose your own land. In other words, where is this hometown?
"Exactly." Zuo Feng smiled and nodded.
Liu Bei then said: "Prepare for the order." ”
Motioned to Geng Yong to lead Zuo Feng into the guest house to rest. When Liu Bei returned to the study, he took a map of Zhuo County and examined it carefully.
I searched and searched, but I didn't find where my hometown was.
This invited the well-informed old patriarch to ask. The old patriarch didn't even know!
Could it be that it's not in Zhuo County?
Impossible.
The next day, Liu Bei went to the backyard of the guest house to meet Zuo Feng. Geng Yong treats people and things, and he is naturally at ease. Zuo Feng's smiling face is proof of this. Hearing Liu Bei's intentions, Zuo Feng was also surprised. This said: Before the slave and maid came, I heard the adults say that the saint originally wanted to enter the young prince and marquis as the marquis of Fangcheng. Helplessly, the three princes and the four governments disagreed...... Presumably, this Linxiang may be near Fangcheng?
Linxiang in Fangcheng County?
Liu Bei then took his leave. Call Jian Yong and Cui Jun, take the map of Zhuozhou, and carefully inspect Fangcheng County.
As a result, nothing was found.
That's amazing.
After thinking for a moment, Liu Bei said: Is there a merchant from Fangcheng County in the city?
Geng Yong nodded: Yes.
This was the order of the assassin.
Soon. A wealthy merchant in Fangcheng County was led into the mansion by the guards. Take the ladder to the fifth floor. The wealthy merchant stooped and walked into the study. plopped down and knelt on the ground, calling out to the young prince.
Liu Bei asked him to get up and asked about his hometown.
The rich businessman who thought he had committed something big sighed: Returning to the young prince, Linxiang is indeed near Fangcheng County. However, it is not under the jurisdiction of Fangcheng County.
Liu Bei was overjoyed. Then he beckoned him to come near: and show it to me.
After the rich merchant took a long time, he walked to the bookcase in broken steps. After carefully looking at the map, he carefully stretched out his finger and tapped it on the map: this is the place.
Liu Bei fixed his eyes and saw that it was an unknown place in the southwest of Fangcheng.
That is, there is a place, why is there no name in the map.
The rich merchant said: Linxiang was originally a fiefdom, and the former Han County belonged to Zhuo County, which was abolished at the beginning of the Han Dynasty.
I see.
The fiefdom of the former Han Dynasty.
After sending away the wealthy merchant, Liu Bei took out the "Book of Han" from the bookbox and divided it with the two, compared it with the "Book of Han: Prince Hou Table", and carefully checked it.
Soon, Geng Yong found out the source.
In the first five years of Emperor Yuan, he sealed Linxiang Qinghou (Liu) Yun, and sealed Linxiang City.
Linxiang County is located in the south of Fangcheng. In the former Han Dynasty, the county belonged to Zhuo County, which has now been abolished.
It's okay to abolish it. As long as there is this place. However, why are Geng Yong and Cui Jun's expressions so strange?
Without waiting for Liu Bei to ask, Cui Jun said: Dare to ask the lord, the feudal city under his jurisdiction, but the court wants the lord to delineate it himself?
Liu Bei nodded: Exactly.
Cui Jun drew a line between Lousang and Linxiang City. Suddenly languished to the ground.
Without waiting for Liu Bei to help, Cui Jun had already sat up on his own: Lord, subordinates...... There is really nothing to say!
Geng Yong also sighed: Lord, do you remember that we went east along the Juma River (Laishui) and passed through a piece of water?
Liu Bei nodded: It is not far from Qingxi, where the terrain is low-lying, and the water floods the river, gathering a large river. I heard that it was the famous place of governors.
Cui Junyan said: It is Du Kangze.
Liu Bei hurriedly looked at the map. Looking at Cui Jun's connection along the building Sangyi, Dukang Pavilion, and Linxiang City, he suddenly woke up: Could it be ......
Geng Yong and Cui Jun nodded in unison: Yes!
Juma water flows from Zhuo County, and the east is Kangze, and Zebao Fangcheng County. The southeast of Zhuo County is the governor Kangze, and the governor Kangze surrounds the entire Fangcheng County.
Governor Kangze, the name of Governor Kang. During the Warring States period, it was a famous rich area of Yan Kingdom. Jing Ke's entry into Qin is one of the gifts to offer the map of Yan's governor. There is 陂 (bēi) Ze, more than ten miles on Friday, the branch canals are connected in all directions, and the benefits of irrigation are rich. It was precisely because of the fertile land and the benefit of water at that time that Jing Ke was used as a gift for the poor dagger and presented to the King of Qin.
The water of Du Kang Pize comes from holy water and giant horse water. During the Warring States period, the governor of Kang Pize, with a diameter of fifty miles, and the branch canals were connected in all directions, which naturally formed a rich and rich land of Yan State with the benefit of irrigation.
Nowadays, the governor belongs to Zhuo County. In the south of Fangcheng County, there is Governor Kangmo, the southern boundary of Youzhou. And due to the frequent floods, the "Governor Kang Land" during the Warring States Period has become the current "Governor Kang Ze"!
Daze is vast, more than 100 miles square.
It actually included the entire territory of Fangcheng County and Zhuo County!
And Liu Bei's fiefdom, Linxiang City, was flooded because of the flood, and the people of the city fled with their families, so it was abandoned by the imperial court.
Think about it too.
The 'Linxiang Marquis Liu Yun' recorded in the "Hanshu Prince Hou Table", even if he was later removed from the country for some reason. The imperial court will also follow the usual practice to change the name of 'Linxiang Houguo' to 'Linxiang County'. It will never be abandoned! The reason why it was abandoned was because of the frequent floods at that time, and the city of Linxiang became a country, all of which were not in the governor's state. The people of the country have moved to other places, and they have been deposed because they are uninhabited.
Look at the location of Linxiang City, ten miles southwest of Fangcheng County. The entire Fangcheng County was wrapped in Governor Kangze. The imperial court named Liu Bei as the marquis of Linxiang, not the marquis of Fangcheng, which means that not a single centimeter of land in Fangcheng County can be occupied. To the south, it is far away from Lou Sangyi, which is located in the northwest of Linxiang City!
If the land is enclosed for 100 miles, and it should include Lou Sangyi and Linxiang City. In this way, just like the line that Cui Jun connected on the map: the land within a radius of 100 miles is not in Du Kangze!
Although he is a townsman, he is actually the governor of Kangze!
In other words, Liu Bei's fiefdom is all soaked in water at this moment!
