The ancient city of Shiben is the Shuofang city of the Han Dynasty, it is a very important city of the Han Dynasty in the north at that time, before the establishment of Shuofang City, it used to be the place where the Huns were entrenched, the Huns lived in this place for many years, this area also has a resounding name, called the Hetao area.

During the Han-Hun War, the Xiongnu gathered a large number of troops to attack Yuyang and Shanggu, while Wei Qing, the general of the cavalry at that time, led a large army to attack the Hetao area, and drove the Huns out of the Hetao area through a series of battles.

This battle was the first major battle of the Han Dynasty against the Xiongnu, when Wei Qing led an army of 40,000 from the clouds, using the tactics of "roundabout flank attack", went west around the rear of the Xiongnu army, quickly captured Gaoque, and cut off the connection between the Xiongnu Aries King and Lou Fu King and Shan Yu Wang who were stationed in Henan. Then, Wei Qing led the elite cavalry and the flying soldiers to the south and entered the west of Longxian, forming a siege of the Aries King and the Loufu King. Seeing that the situation was not good, the king of the Huns and the king of Loufu led their troops to flee in panic. The Han army captured thousands of enemy soldiers alive and captured more than a million head of livestock, completely controlling the Hetao area.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty felt that this place was a good place, so he ordered Shuofang City to be built here, set up Shuofang County and Wuyuan County, and migrated 100,000 people from the interior to settle there, and also repaired the border fortress built by Meng Tian in the Qin Dynasty and the fortifications along the river. In this way, not only the direct threat of the Hun cavalry to Chang'an was removed, but also the forward base for further counterattacks against the Xiongnu was established.

Therefore, Shuofang City is a very important northern city for the Han Dynasty, and it is also the seat of Shuofang County in the north of the Han Dynasty, and its pivotal role in the Han Dynasty is obvious.

It is precisely because of the importance of Shuofang County that Shuofang City in the Han Dynasty era is definitely not a small city, but a relatively large city, a majestic city, but it is a pity that there are only a few ruins left at this time, and the new Shuofang City is not far away.

The Shuofang City that disappeared in the Han Dynasty was later called the Ancient City of Shiben because this name was a language, and after the Han Dynasty, the north has always been a place where various ethnic minorities compete for hegemony, and they naturally have to call this city according to their own language.

Soon, Li An and his entourage arrived at the ruins of the ancient city of Shiben, after arriving at this ruins, Li An once again felt something desolate, the Shuofang City of the Han Dynasty is very large, but the ruins in front of them are very small, and they are relatively scattered, only from the traces of the ruins, it is difficult to imagine that this was once the northern important town of the Han Dynasty, a city with a large population.

The ruins here are so dilapidated that the tallest one is only slightly taller than a person, and more are only half a person tall, which makes it look very low.

Li An walked to a broken wall, gently squatted down, stroked the broken wall, and felt the weight of history and the ruthlessness of the years.

Because it has been left untended for a long time, it has become a place where weeds are abundant, and because of the climate, at this time, there are not a large number of fresh weeds here, only the hay that withered last year and various fallen leaves, but if you gently peel off the withered hay, you can see that some new green grass is growing below, which indicates that spring is coming.

Li An pulled out the hay between the broken walls with his hands, which made Guo Ziyi quite surprised, and asked, "What is Li Shilang looking for, is it a herb?" ”

"Lao Guo, there are new green leaves down here, pull out the hay above, and the fresh and tender grass below can grow better."

Li An said.

The black line on Lao Guo's face, such an insignificant little thing, where is it worth Ang Li to do, and besides, this is a wasteland, and the weeds here are of no value, let the weeds grow faster, what's the point, it's meaningless, it's really meaningless, it's just a boring waste of time.

However, for Ang Lee, this is life, and pulling weeds in the wild is also a way to enjoy life, a way to make people happy.

Life is full of beauty everywhere, every flower and grass is life, and every grass in the wild, like people, is a living form on the earth, and should be equally respected and cared for.

"Li Shilang's hobby is different! Come, you also pull out the weeds together, and pull out all the weeds in this area. ”

Guo Ziyi was born with a certain pleasing gene, seeing that Li An liked to pull weeds, he asked the guards around him to come over to work, and the weeds were also very easy to pull, and soon, the hay in a large area was pulled out, revealing the green young leaves below.

Li An stood up and said happily: "Look, after pulling out the old dead leaves, is the scenery of this piece more beautiful, it is already a green piece, haha!" ”

"There is a touch of spring between the broken walls and ruins, it is indeed a good scenery, but also a good sign, spring to the recovery of all things, and it is almost time for spring ploughing, the trade of various seeds and fertilizers will inevitably increase, the trade of ploughing cattle and ploughing machines will also enter Xiazhou, the activities of horse thieves will become more rampant, the situation will only be a little better than the autumn harvest, we must take good precautions."

Guo Ziyi said with a sigh.

Looking at a touch of green, Lao Guo can actually think of the horse thief who robbed, this is not Lao Guo's rich association ability, it is really because his main mission is to exterminate the horse thieves of the Xia Zhou generation, so he must always keep in mind his mission and always keep the matter of exterminating the horse thief in mind.

"Oh, it looks like spring is coming, and the horse thieves are about to move, what a good opportunity! It's been a long time since I've been fighting, and it's time to practice. ”

Ang Lee looked a little excited.

At this moment, there is still some time before spring ploughing, however, seed fertilizer and various spring ploughing supplies must be prepared in advance, just like preparing summer clothes in spring, preparing autumn clothes in summer, preparing winter cotton clothes in autumn, and starting to prepare spring clothes in winter, all seasons must be prepared in advance, so as not to panic when the situation arises.

And the advance trade of seeds, fertilizers and spring ploughing supplies will inevitably bring more commercial prosperity to Xiazhou City, and the trade volume of commodities will inevitably have a rapid growth. Robbing merchants is a shortcut to riches, and the more frequent the trade, the more you can rob a sufficient amount of wealth, which is a great attraction for horse thieves.

As soon as I heard that the horse thieves were about to move, Ang Lee's heart was also about to move, and I don't know when I will be able to find the traces of the horse thieves, what do these horse thieves look like, are they fierce and vicious, or the appearance of ordinary people, will there be beautiful girls, very watery kinds, if there are beautiful girls, maybe they can plate one, of course, they have to carry the cold dew lady on their backs, and when the raw rice is cooked and cooked, no one can do anything.

"Husband, what are you laughing at, still smiling like this."

Li Hanlu walked over, pulled Li An's clothes, and reminded in a low voice.

"Well, I'm distracted, it's okay, it's okay."

Li An sighed awkwardly, looking a little weak-hearted, thinking about spring in front of his wife, this is indeed a little not good.

Li Hanlu pursed the corners of his mouth, but didn't say anything.

The sun has begun to sink in the west, and it is less than half an hour away from dusk, although there are still many interesting places in Xiazhou, but there is no way to play today, so I can only wait for a few days to go again, and the old city at dusk must have a different scenery, so Li An feels that it is not too late to wait for dusk to go back, at least to see the night view of dusk.

Looking directly from the ruins of the ruins, this is a dilapidated ruins of the old city, there is nothing majestic at all, but as long as you use your own thinking, according to the remaining traces to think, to imagine, it is not difficult to think of the former glory here, the towering buildings and the huge city seem to be close in front of you.

The weeds and sprouts that have just grown everywhere can't hide the scars of the past, and the ruins of the broken walls also show the extraordinary nature of this city with its unique proud attitude.

Thinking of the fact that General Wei Qing once captured the Hetao area and established Shuofang City to garrison here, Li An's mood was extremely excited, if it were not for the Han Dynasty to have such a majestic cause, the entire nation would not have the name of later generations, and the strength of the Han Dynasty can be seen from the ruins of Shuofang City.

The sun soon set, under the illumination of the setting sun, the ancient city of Shiben appeared a little majestic, and the golden light shone on the ruins of the broken walls, as if a layer of golden paint was painted on the ruins of these broken walls, so that the ruins here suddenly became more tall.

How can such a majestic scene not be given a poem?

"A hundred feet high in Bozhou, a big sword and a long halberd Han princes. Zhenghong passed through the end of the clouds, and the war horses came to stuff the grass in autumn. The national economy has been pushed to the heart, and the family wealth is not for the children and grandchildren. I still heard that Longshu was troubled, and I was deeply pleased that the general was not white. ”

Ang Lee opened his mouth and recited a poem, this poem is a Tang poem, but it was written by the late Tang Dynasty poet Luo Yin, so even if Ang Lee plagiarized it, it doesn't matter, and no one will come out to expose it anyway.

And the meaning of this poem is to show the poet's affirmation of Hu Changshou in Xiazhou of the Tang Dynasty, Xiazhou was once the land under the control of Helian Bobo, and the Han Dynasty also ruled here, after the destruction of the war, Xiazhou City is no longer what it used to be, fortunately, Hu Changshou in Xiazhou City is a loyal and patriotic general, he is dedicated to the country and not for his children and grandchildren for personal gain, there is also turmoil in Shuzhong, and the happy thing is that Hu Changshou is still very young, with him, there is hope for the Tang Dynasty.

However, this poem is also a bit appropriate for the moment, but it is much worse than the environment in which the poet wrote the poem, and some places may not be right.

"How eventful is Longshu? Why, there is also turmoil in Shu? ”

Guo Ziyi didn't listen to much else, but he heard this sentence very well, and he was suspicious in his heart, so he opened his mouth and asked, as for the last sentence of the deep general's not white-headed, he naturally understood that it was not him, because his hair was white, and there were many generals in Datang whose hair was not white, and they were fully capable of guarding the thousands of miles of Datang.

"Yes! There are many more thieves in Shu than in Xiazhou, but they are all scattered thieves, and they can't become any climate, so they just have time to clean them up. ”

Li An said.

This kind of thing can be said casually, in the era of the Tang Dynasty, there are a number of bandits and bandits in any region, this kind of bandit force entrenched in the deep mountains has existed for thousands of years, in all feudal dynasties in China, there are bandits entrenched in the mountains and rivers, there is no way to put an end to it.

"Good poetry, good poetry! Li Shilang has another song! ”

Lao Guo said with a smile.

Li An thought for a moment and said: "The ruins of the ancient city are slanted at sunset, standing in ruins and looking forward. Thousands of miles of mountains and rivers Tang land, thousands of years of soul and hero. Centrifugal can't bear to listen to the side horse, and the past should be asked about Saihong. It is good to take off the Confucian crown from the captain, a long halberd and a six-jun bow. ”

This time it is not a complete plagiarism, some changes have been made at the beginning, it is said that the ruins of the ancient city of Shiben are bathed in the sunset, Li An stands among the broken walls and ruins and looks into the distance, thousands of miles of mountains and rivers are the land of the Tang Dynasty, how many border heroes have sacrificed their lives for the country for thousands of years in this land, the suffering experienced by generations of people in the frontier can't bear to listen, the things of the past dynasties and dynasties are unbearable to ask, at the moment when the horse thieves are attacking, it is best to take off the hat of the literati to be a military attaché, and take up arms to fight the horse thieves, Protect the normal life of the people in the border areas.

Although there are still some flaws with this poem, it is generally appropriate and should be regarded as a good poem.

Guo Ziyi gave a positive evaluation, thinking that it is already very good, he is a military general, he is not too good at poetry, he will feel good when he listens to it catchy, and the facts are indeed good.

And Ang Lee is not very satisfied with this poem, because the overall atmosphere of this poem is a little too dull, showing the author's inner dull depression, Ang Lee suspects that this product has depression, why is every poem written so depressed?

Of course, you can't blame the great poet Luo Yin, because he lived in the turbulent late Tang Dynasty, and his own experiences were relatively bumpy, and failures kept hitting him again and again, making him finally become depressed, and at first glance he was a severe depressive patient.

Later generations do not know many of Luo Yin's great poets, because many people don't like to read, especially don't like to read ancient texts, and naturally it is difficult to know the ancient great poets, it would be good to know Li Bai Dufu, Luo Yin's fame is much smaller than Li Du, so naturally he will not be noticed, in addition, the common people of later generations prefer heroic poems, and do not like aggrieved and depressed poems, and Lao Luo's poems are too depressed, and it is natural that they are not popular.

Luo Yin's life is a tragic epic, he has been reading poetry since he was a child, and he is an excellent reader who reads poetry and books, but when he went to the capital to take the Jinshi exam, he was not admitted for seven consecutive years, which hit his heart hard, and the whole person became depressed.
