The news of the large number of corpses in the ruins of the ancient city was unstoppable, and soon the news spread everywhere, attracting not only more tourists, but also reporters from various newspapers and radio stations.

At first, they all interviewed Director Yao's interviewer, and Director Yao couldn't bear this kind of language bombardment, so he immediately retreated to the excavation site and never came out again, and they didn't know where to find out the news without a target, and many people immediately turned their targets to Gu Hongyu.

Gu Hongyu didn't have time to talk nonsense to reporters, so he had the idea to point the finger at Uncle Aza, as a person who is dedicated to the development and prosperity of Honghu Village, Gu Hongyu thought of Uncle Aza's interviews with reporters.

I thought that it would be okay to send away a wave of reporters' disturbances, but I didn't want the results of the excavation in Honghu Village to be published and reprinted with more momentum, so many newspapers and television stations actually sent reporters to stay in Honghu Village.

Later, Uncle Aza was a little afraid to ask questions and asked tricky and colorful reporter comrades, so he finally hid in the vegetable greenhouse and orchard and never returned to the village.

The progress of the excavation has been carried out in an intense and orderly manner, after the news of the discovery of the tomb of 1,000 people was reported last time, not only the county attracted attention, but even the province sent a group of scientific expedition teams to Honghu Village, so that the scientific expedition force here has been raised in one fell swoop, and the progress has been suddenly accelerated with so many backbones to join.

A few days later, when Gu Hongyu stepped into the ruins of the ancient city again, it was as if he had traveled to the ancient times of the previous dynasty, and the atmosphere of the desolate years attracted his heart in one fell swoop.

Even if the outermost city wall is broken and buried by the wind and sand, the highest place after sorting it out is now 5 meters high, and there are battlements at the top of the city wall, and huge stones are stacked neatly, you can imagine how magnificent it was when it was intact.

In the place near the city gate and city wall, I heard Director Yao say that it was a barracks, and in ancient times, the soldiers in the city lived in it, and if the city encountered an enemy or a war, they could rush to the battlefield to defend their homes as quickly as possible.

I don't know if the barracks were destroyed during the war or because they were very rudimentary, but at the moment there is no way to see the buildings above the surface of the ground, even a wall has completely collapsed, and only the foundation stones on the ground can be used to infer what these barracks looked like and what they were in the first place.

After walking through the barracks, it is said that it is the Goolan market, and the grave pit of a thousand people also appears in the market, and the scale of the market is very huge, if you restore the scene of ancient times, the market sells goods from south to north, and the variety must be very varied.

Further in, there is a residential area, the beginning is a low building, the courtyard wall or something is very little left, Director Yao also introduced, these places should be the location of civilian life, the house building is relatively dilapidated can leave not many remnants of the remains.

By the way, the passage that Gu Hongyu walked was the stone road that was sorted out in the early stage.

After walking along the stone road through the slum is a crossroads, continue to move forward and then leave the remnants of the ruins are much more obvious, the tall courtyard wall is also made of stone, there are some stone pillars in the courtyard wall, and the scientific expedition team also cleared out several places with stone pavilions.

At the end of the road is the hill not far from the swamp, and below the hill is the largest complex of buildings, and Gu Hongyu can guess what kind of storage it is, which is the residence of the supreme leader of the town.

The remaining ruins of the tall courtyard wall are more than 2 meters high, and the gate in and out is also very magnificent, both sides of the gate are made of whole stones, and there are wide stone steps under the door, but the top of the gate is now empty, and the eaves above it should be damaged or eroded by time.

There is an empty field in the courtyard wall, the area is not small, it may be the place where the soldiers were trained at that time, the city lord's house is obviously built more exquisitely, and the remaining courtyard walls of several rows of houses can clearly see the pattern at that time.

Suddenly, an archaeological team member hurriedly ran out of a ruins in the city lord's compound, and Gu Hongyu saw that it was not Cui Peng, who found many corpses that day.

"Xiao Cui, what are you doing here? It's blazing! Gu Hongyu stopped Cui Peng.

Cui Peng didn't stop, turned to Gu Hongyu and said, "Brother Gu, there is a discovery inside, this time it is an amazing discovery......

"Don't be in a hurry, say it!" Watching Cui Peng run farther and farther, Gu Hongyu was anxious.

"Director Yao, they found a written record in a basement, and now the instruments and equipment to protect the paper have not been brought in, so I will ask someone to bring it, and it will not be long before we can know the truth about the current appearance here!" After saying it in one breath, Cui Peng ran out again.

Finally had a written record, and Gu Hongyu was also ecstatic when he heard the news.

At least this ancient city ruins can be ashamed to tell its origin when it is told to outsiders in the future, and the reason for its destruction.

Thinking of this, Gu Hongyu also stepped into the courtyard wall that Cui Peng had just rushed out.

Walking inside, there are a few tenacious stone pillars erected behind the courtyard wall, and a few are smashed to the ground, looking at the direction of the distance between the stone pillars, Gu Hongyu estimated that this is the reception hall of the city lord, with a room at least hundreds of square meters, the previous hall is really big enough!

But Gu Hongyu was a little stunned, he didn't see a figure inside, according to Cui Peng's statement just now, shouldn't Director Yao be inside, but why didn't he see anyone!

After listening carefully, Gu Hongyu finally heard the sound of someone talking somewhere with his keen hearing, and crossed a place where there were remnants of bricks, there were many exquisite stone bricks in the City Lord's Mansion, and many of them were still intact, but now they could not arouse Gu Hongyu's curiosity at all.

The voice came from a small hole, between several stone walls, Gu Hongyu saw a house that was obviously a stone bed, and the distance from the stone bed was only 2 meters away from a small hole, it seemed that this was the city lord's bedroom or study, and the small hole should be the city lord's secret room.

I see, Gu Hongyu stepped in.

"Hey, Xiao Gu is here!" Director Yao, who was talking, saw Gu Hongyu and said unexpectedly.

"Director Yao, Master Duan...... are you all here, what have you found?" Gu Hongyu asked with a smile.

"There are too many things, not only there are a lot of ancient relics here, but also a lot of books, you see there is one on the stone platform over there, we didn't dare to touch it, but I still know the words on the surface of the book, so maybe it's a memo written by the leader of the city!" Master Duan said happily.

At this time, Gu Hongyu had a doubt: "Director Yao, Master Duan...... to say that this place should have been destroyed by foreign invasion, but there are no ancient relics unearthed in other places, why was it found here?" ”

"Haha, Xiao Gu, this is very understandable, it must be that the foreign enemies who invaded here at that time only wanted to plunder this place and did not think of occupying it for a long time, and this is the basement when the invaders searched here, but it is not a long time to be defeated by the hidden mechanism, and now it is not found by us!" Director Yao said with a smile.

One of them, an expert from the provincial capital who joined later, said: "Fortunately, there was still such a secret room left at that time, otherwise we don't know how much more work it would take to unravel the mystery here!" ”

With Gu Hongyu joining, everyone talked about it again, and after a while, Cui Peng led a few people with instruments and equipment to walk in, the secret room was not small, but there were more people and it still seemed crowded, Gu Hongyu didn't know anything about the protection of documents and materials, so he didn't continue to stay inside.

But he didn't care, with these written materials, presumably the truth here will be revealed to the world.

After a day, Director Yao and his team worked overtime overnight to sort out very detailed documents and completely solve the mystery of this ancient city ruins.

Tracing back to the original historical truth, the ruins of this ancient city were originally a border town in the Tang and Song dynasties for hundreds of years, and it was often subjected to the continuous invasion of the Liao State during the Northern Song Dynasty.

At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, with the decline of the Song Dynasty, the allocation of military expenses in the border towns was exploited by the above, and it can be said that there were very few in the hands of the soldiers.

However, as time went by, one day when the Liao State sent iron cavalry south, such a border town attracted the disaster of destruction, not because the soldiers in the town were greedy for life and afraid of death, but because they were equipped with inferior armaments and had no money to maintain and maintain giant crossbow equipment, which led to the fall of the entire city.

Those who have read the history of Liao know that every time the Liao people in the Song Dynasty went south to rob the Han population, in addition to looting grain, they also robbed the Han population, and the old ones were all killed, the young and strong ones were treated as two-legged sheep and enslaved by them, and the women were raped by them~yin countless.

The record of the city lord is full of disappointment with the magnates of the Song Dynasty, and he is afraid that the iron cavalry of the Liao people will come, just when he is in a panic, the whole record comes to an abrupt end, and the date of the last record should be shortly before the Liao people captured here.

The truth of history is in front of you, and Gu Hongyu, the mourner in the thousand-person pit, guessed that most of them were soldiers who were killed or old and frail old people, otherwise there would definitely be more than this population in a military town, and the rest of the others would definitely be taken away by the Tatars.

This is a painful truth, but also a sad history, a powerful country sank in the long river of history, some historians once said: "The Song Dynasty was not defeated by foreign invaders, but destroyed by the struggle of friends!" ”

Gu Hongyu faces the ruins of the ancient city, and there are still many things to do! R1152
