introduction
"Li Aiqing has fought for me in the Western Regions for many years, and she is brave, resourceful, and dedicated. Today, under the peace, where would you like to be the marquis?" Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, asked Li Guangli, who came to the early dynasty.
Li Guangli thought that he had made a life and death situation before he set out for the battle, and most of the clansmen were worried that they would be affected if they lost the battle, and they had already moved east to the western part of the sea one after another, so he hurriedly knelt down and said: "The minister is willing to lead the western part of the sea, thank the emperor for his grace!"
Liu Che was puzzled: "Hercynian is sparsely populated, and it is a place where the imperial court degraded officials or exiled prisoners. Why does Aiqing give up the near and far, and the rich and the barren?"
Li Guangli bowed again: "Your Majesty, if I give up Haixi and try to go elsewhere, although I can live in peace, I have no peace of mind." ”
Liu Che was very happy in his heart, and secretly admired Li Guangli's wise move. Because other royal relatives have long coveted the rich land around the imperial city, and they are fighting openly and secretly.
So, Liu Che said happily: "I approve Li Aiqing as the Marquis of Haixi!"
......
Three days later, Li Guangli led a team of nearly 3,000 people, including 6,000 people from the tribe and foreign surnames, including government soldiers, family members, and serfs, to the hinterland of Haixi.
When approaching the barren area of Haixi, as the migration team became larger and larger, Li Guangli divided it into two groups and continued to move along the Liutang River in the south and north, which were 18 miles apart, by land and water.
Suddenly, the two groups of people came together in a strange way. At this time, everyone suddenly realized that the south and north Liutang rivers were merged into one here.
The river formed by the confluence is about five zhang wide, so Li Guangli named it Wuzhang River and set up camp ten miles away from the south bank.
When the camp was built, it happened that a peacock flew in, circled the camp, and then landed at the head of the camp and chirped, and spread its wings at the people who came to watch.
In ancient times, people regarded pheasants or peacocks as the phoenixes of myths and legends. Seeing this wonderful, people sang and danced in the city to celebrate:
"The Phoenix City head brocade is open,
The Wuzhang River is rolling.
Well-being and wealth are connected to the East China Sea,
Hou Ye's reputation has reached the end of the world. ”
Suddenly, the peacock screamed, circled up, circled the camp three times, and flew north.
When Li Guangli was looking at the peacock in the distance and wondered, an officer rode a horse to report: "Master Hou, the spies are here to report, there is a Huaguo Mountain more than 100 miles away from here in the northern part of the Haixi Territory, and there is a city called Phoenix City at the bottom of the mountain, and most of the residents are surnamed Li, who are also immigrants from the Central Plains. ”
"Wonderful!" Li Guangli said in surprise, "Tomorrow, I will lead the Beigu clan to the other city and set up the Haixi Hou Mansion in the city." The people of the Nangu tribe stayed in this village, and its name was Da Li Zhuang. ”
