Guangzongcheng, Chen Xu returned to the county government on the same day and drafted a notice.

The gist of the notice is as follows: If the people have fields at home, take advantage of this season to hurry up and farm the land, and the Yellow Turban Army will not harass everyone. And the Yellow Turban Army promised that for the poor people, they would never commit any crimes.

The appearance of this notice, although many people are still a little hesitant in their hearts. However, there are always some people who can't support it at home, and they go out of the city to farm as soon as they grit their teeth.

With the first person, there will be a second person, a third person. For a time, the people in Guangzong City came in and out a lot more frequently.

In this way, it undoubtedly increased the workload of the Yellow Turban guards guarding the city.

However, Chen Xu did not dare to be careless at all, he ordered: It must be strictly investigated and guarded, and the officers and soldiers must be guarded against entering the city.

Suddenly, it had been more than half a month since Wang Yan and others withdrew from Guangzong. Since the officers and soldiers withdrew from Weixian, they have never come to attack the Yellow Turban Army, except for training in Quzhou every day and shouting loudly.

This made Chen Xu puzzled all the time.

However, Chen Xu's purpose in staying in Guangzong was to cover the retreat of Wang Yan and others. Since the officers and soldiers did not come to attack the city, they could easily achieve their goals, so why should he not do it?

Chen Xu rode a horse to inspect outside the city, he looked to the north, and muttered to himself: "It's time to go north." ”

At this time, Chen Xu remembered that a tourist attraction in later generations was located in Guangzong County. Seeing that he was about to leave Guangzong, he really wanted to go to that place to pay his respects.

If it was the rest of the place, Chen Xu was not interested.

However, the site of the Dune Palace platform is different, it is known as the 'Land of Trapped Dragons', where several generations of emperors in history have fallen, making their dynasty go from prosperity to decline and finally to extinction.

Since then, successive emperors have avoided this place.

The site of the Dune Palace Platform is located in the south of Datai Village, Quang Jong County, and is a sand dune with a length of 150 meters and a width of 70 meters.

The terrain in Guangzong County is flat, the soil is generally sandy, and it is piled up into mounds everywhere, so it is called sand dunes in ancient times. The Dune Palace also gets its name from this.

According to historical records, this seemingly inconspicuous land is the famous "Land of the Trapped Dragon", where the mighty emperors fell one after another and ended their lives unwillingly.

Since the Qin and Han dynasties, this place has become a famous attraction.

During the Shang Dynasty, there was a palace annex here.

According to the "Historical Records", the king of Shang built a lot of construction in the sand dunes, increased the garden platform, placed all kinds of birds and beasts, and also set up a wine pond meat forest, with "wine as a pool, hanging meat as a forest". This place is a witness to the fall of the Shang Dynasty.

During the Warring States Period, when King Wuling of Zhao had just ascended the throne, the military strength of Zhao was still very weak.

During his 24-year reign, he issued orders to implement the policy of "Hu Fu Cavalry and Shooting", reformed military equipment and combat methods, and repeatedly defeated the invading Hu people, so that the Zhao state became strong.

For a time, Zhao became a powerful vassal state second only to Qin.

However, in 298 B.C., King Zhao Wuling, who was eloquent and sloppy and cavalry, was passed on to the young son King Zhao Huiwen, who claimed to be the main father. Three years later, Zhao's father left the capital Handan, traveled north to the sand dunes, and set up a departure official here.

Originally, King Wuling was supposed to pass the throne to his eldest son Zhao Zhang, but he made a great mistake - King Wuling, who was in the prime of life, passed the throne to his youngest son Zhao He, that is, King Huiwen.

This mistake did not end completely, and when the "benevolent father" saw the elder Zhao Zhang kneeling down to his younger brother King Huiwen, he felt pity and absurdly wanted to divide the Zhao kingdom into two - half for Zhao Zhang to sit and half for Zhao He to sit.

His plan further intensified the conflict between the brothers.

After a court meeting, the father and son lived in the Dune Palace, and Zhao Zhang launched a rebellion in advance, but was killed by Zhao He. At this time, the Wuling King was besieged in the palace and could no longer control the situation.

Then Zhao He didn't stop doing it, and actually starved his biological father, King Wuling, to death there. It is a pity that this powerful historical figure ended up starving to death in the palace.

The change of the Dune Palace caused the vitality of the Zhao State to lose suddenly, so that the King of Qin found an opportunity to attack the Zhao State. The king of Qin was unusual, turned defense into offense, and finally defeated Zhao State. Zhao Guo, who was once strong, withdrew from the stage of hegemony in this way.

But history is so interesting.

In 221 BC, Qin Shi Huang annexed the Six Kingdoms and unified China. In order to "show strength and serve the sea", he has toured the country many times.

He went on his fifth tour and fell ill in Hiraharatsu. In July, Bingyin traveled to the sand dunes and actually died of illness on the platform of the Dune Palace.

At that time, his youngest son Hu Hai, Prime Minister Li Si, and eunuch Zhao Gao followed. They kept their mourning secret, falsely claiming to have received the edict of the First Emperor, making Hu Hai the crown prince, and accusing the eldest son of Qin Shi Huang, Gongzi Fusu, of not being able to make meritorious contributions, causing him to commit suicide.

In this way, the First Emperor died, Qin II succeeded to the throne, and the powerful Qin State soon fell apart.

The Dune Palace became the place where King Zhao and Qin Shi Huang 'ascended to heaven', allowing two enmity dynasties, their heroic monarchs, to fall here. Is this a secret combination, or is it a great irony?

Since then, this place of Guangzong has been known to everyone, and it is known as the "land of trapped dragons". In the future, successive emperors would make a detour when they traveled, and they avoided it for fear of hurrying.

Their actions have cast a layer of mystery over the sand dune platform of Guangzong.

Chen Xu in his previous life, because he liked the history of the Warring States period and knew that King Zhao and Qin Shihuang both died here, so he knew more about the dune platform.

In his previous life, he had always wanted to travel to the ruins of the Dune Palace platform, but for various reasons, he could not do so. Now that he is about to leave Guangzong, he doesn't want to miss this place and pay a good visit to the two great men of ancient times.

Chen Xu turned his head and asked his subordinates behind him, "Are there any local people from Guangzong among you who know where the site of the Dune Palace platform is?" ”

The Yellow Turban Army following Chen Xu really had two people who were local people from Guangzong. When they heard Chen Xu's words, they were stunned in their hearts, and there was a puzzled look on their faces.

One of them replied: "Back to Qu Shuai, the villain is a native of Guangzong, but I have never heard of the site of the platform of the Dune Palace. ”

Another person also shook his head and said, "The villain is also from Guangzong, and he doesn't know what the site of the Dune Palace platform is. ”

Hearing the words of the two, Chen Xu was stunned.

How so? Could it be that the site of the Dune Palace platform is not famous in the Eastern Han Dynasty?

At this moment, there was a little marshal behind him who said cautiously: "Qiqi Qu Shuai, the last will be the Anping Guoren clan, who lives in the county seat of Jingxian County, and came to join the Yellow Turban Army because of his admiration for the great sages and good teachers." ”

"There is a dune palace platform in my hometown, I don't know if it's the place Qu Shuai asked."

Chen Xu was even more surprised in his heart, wasn't the dune platform in Guangzong, how could he run to Jingxian?

"The sand dune platform you are talking about, but the place where King Zhao Wuling and the First Emperor died?"

Chen Xu asked the little handsome man who had just spoken.

Xiaoshuai replied: "This is exactly this place!" Due to the King Wuling of Zhao and the First Emperor, there are often scholars who go to mourn on the sand dune platform in Jingxian County. ”

Although he was puzzled, Chen Xu did not ask again. Anyway, the Yellow Turban Army is about to go north, and Jingxian is the place they must pass through to go north. When the time comes, if you have the opportunity, you can go to the dune platform to have a look.

In fact, Chen Xu didn't know that the Guangzong of later generations and the current Guangzong are not the same place. In later generations, the dune platform was indeed in Gwangjong. But in the Eastern Han Dynasty, that place was called Jingxian.

Back at the county office, Chen Xu began to prepare for going north.

Chen Xu thought for a long time, and finally only prepared to take 3,000 cavalry to Xiaquyang, and let the rest of the men and horses go to Taishan County.

The incident of the street shock last time touched Chen Xu a lot. Let him understand that horses are not the same as war horses.

War horses, that are all subject to strict training, can be on the battlefield where the sound of shouting and killing is earth-shattering, and they still meet without changing their colors and charge forward.

A trained war horse is worth far more than the same kind of untrained horses.

If a horse is not rigorously trained, it is easy to be frightened and lose control on the battlefield. At that time, the safety of your knight's life will not be guaranteed.

Chen Xu thought about it and made up his mind to select only more than 3,000 real war horses. The rest of the horses, or untrained horses, were given to the others and they were taken with them to Taishan County.

The number of troops going to Taishan County this time was only 7,000. However, these 7,000 men and horses are all strong and capable warriors, and Chen Xu is not worried about their safety.

Just when Chen Xu was preparing to divide his troops into two routes, all the way to Taishan County, and all the way north to Quyang. Suddenly, a young marshal guarding the city walked in with a wounded soldier.

His face was flustered, and he shouted at Chen Xu from afar: "Qu Shuai, it's not good, something is wrong!" ”

Chen Xu was thinking about the problem, and suddenly saw the appearance of this handsome person, his face was unhappy, and he reprimanded loudly: "Panic, shouting, what kind of system?" ”

The little marshal didn't pay any attention to Chen Xu's reprimand, and still said: "General Digong died in battle!" ”

"What?"

Suddenly hearing the news, Chen Xu's face was full of incredulity.
