Feiqian's Beiqu camp is not at the former site of the original Beiqu County, but in the Xinshui River basin in its southwest, and some distance to the east and south of the Xinshui River is Pingyang County, which is also the old Pingyang Houguo. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The old Pingyang Marquis was originally the fief of Cao Shen, a hero of the Han Dynasty. Cao Shen followed Liu Bang to raise an army against Qin in Pei County, experienced a hundred battles, made many military exploits, and captured the two countries and one hundred and twenty-two counties. After Liu Bang became the emperor, he rewarded meritorious officials, and Cao Shengong ranked second. Therefore, Cao Shen sealed the Marquis of Pingyang and placed the Marquis of Pingyang, with 1,600 households.

However, when the sixth generation of Pingyang Marquis, Cao Zong, the fifth grandson of Cao Shen, was removed from the country because of the rebellion of the prince, and the country was divided into 23,000 households.

Later, although Cao Shen's eighth grandson, Cao Ben, was originally the Marquis of Pingyang, and restored the Marquis of Pingyang, which had been removed from the country for 90 years, it had decayed into a state of decay, with only 1,000 households......

During the Wang Mang period, the Marquis of Pingyang Cao Ben was born, and his son Cao Hong was the heir.

In the second year of Emperor Guangwu's establishment, Cao Hong raised troops to assist Emperor Guangwu to pacify Hebei, so after Guangwu ascended the throne, he attacked the lord as before. After Cao Hongxue, the son Cao Kuanghei.

But unfortunately, Cao Kuang died without an heir, and the entire so-called Pingyang Cao clan was broken, and Pingyang County declined again......

In the first two years of Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty, after Cao Zhan was reinstated by Xia Zhao, Cao Zhan was the Marquis of Rongcheng and continued to worship Cao Shen.

Soon, it was cut off again.

In the first three years of Emperor Yongchu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor He ordered Dahonglu to visit Cao Zhan's close relatives to Shaofeng.

Fortunately, after this time, the Marquis of Rongcheng, which was sealed by Cao Shen's descendants, was never broken off in the Han Dynasty.

However, this is no longer in Binh Duong, but in Rong Cheng.

And now, the old Pingyang county town in front of Fei Qian is already scattered with yellow sand, ruins and broken walls......

After more than a hundred years, the original prosperous marquis has completely disappeared.

Fei Qian asked Ma Yue to take his soldiers to camp near the original site of Pingyang County, while he took Huang Cheng to the old site of Pingyang County slowly.

Everything in the world that is powerful is as small as a fine dust in the face of time.

The city wall of Pingyang County may have been a majestic behemoth many years ago, but now it is completely abandoned, no one is on duty to take care of it, and the blue bricks on the surface of many places above the city wall have collapsed to the ground, revealing the rammed earth layer inside, like the bones buried in the desert after the death of a giant, which looks so desolate. Some weeds grew strong in the cracks of the green bricks and dirt of the city wall, dyed with a little vitality and greenery in a yellow-black patch.

In ancient times, the city wall could not grow grass, and the grass roots would destroy the original compact green bricks and soil layer, and then it was very easy to collapse, so once the grass grew, it must be removed immediately, and a city like Binh Duong that has been abandoned has naturally no one to manage and remove it......

Fei Qian looked left and right, found a gap in the city wall that collapsed more severely, and climbed up, the original green bricks on the city wall had fallen off a lot, just forming a slope for stepping feet. Fei Qian bent on his waist, using his hands and feet at the same time, and stepped on the rammed earth layer of the city wall without much effort, but when he climbed, he was stained with fine yellow sand and there were yellow marks everywhere on his body.

Dust to dust, dust to dust.

Even if it is prosperous and majestic, it is now a piece of loess under your feet.

"Shuye, how about we say we set up a camp here?"

Huang Cheng stood on Fei's side, looked left and right, hesitated, and said: "This place is flat, although there is a water source, there is no danger to defend, I'm afraid it will ......."

The ruins of the old Pingyang county town and the Beiqu camp built by Fei Qian, the terrain between the two is completely different.

Beiqu camp is in the edge of the Loess Plateau hilly area, although the Han Dynasty Loess Plateau water and soil damage is not as obvious as later generations, but millions of years of rainfall and water erosion, has gradually produced some folded terrain on the Loess Plateau, the terrain is also relatively fragmented, the landform is undulating, mountains, hills, plains and wide valleys coexist, if people who are not familiar with the terrain break in, Wangshan running dead horse is not just an adjective......

But this is not the case with the ruins of the old county seat of Binh Duong.

This place is located on the west bank of the Fenshui River system, at the intersection of the Fen Plain and the folded terrain of the Loess Plateau, the terrain is relatively flat, there are not so many ravines and hills, suitable for planting crops, but it is also precisely because of this, it is not a place where a husband and wife are in charge, and they are not open.

That's what Huang Cheng didn't say.

Although the decay of Pingyang County is due to the factors of the heirs of the Marquis of Pingyang, it is also mostly related to the terrain in which it is located......

Fei Qian slowly walked along the rammed earth of the city wall to the old city, although the rammed earth city wall has mostly collapsed, but it is not easy to walk. The watchtower at the gate has collapsed, and the gate hole has been completely blocked, so it should be easier to enter the city through the cracks in the broken wall than to open the gate.

"Pingyang County has been abandoned for nearly twenty years, right?"

Fei Qian slid down the rammed earth layer of the city wall with a great slope, carefully avoiding some areas that appeared loose when stepped on, and descended into the city of Pingyang County.

Huang Cheng and several guards were obviously much better than Fei Qian, and they all came down smoothly.

"I don't know about this, but looking at the situation, it should be similar." Huang Cheng broke the wooden beam of a collapsed house, and found that the wood was basically rotten, so he said.

At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the world was determined, so this flat area was suitable for a large number of concentrated crops, there was no war, and soon it became prosperous here, when Cao Shen was sealed here, Pingyang County had a population of one or two hundred thousand households, which was really a huge county.

But when the war period comes, it is not easy to defend here, the enemy army is not to defend the city, not to defend the city, and then the Hu people to plunder, today the Huns come to a wave, tomorrow the Qiang people will come another wave, even if it is a flat land, no matter how suitable for planting soil, without a safe environment, how can we guarantee the harvest?

Without the grain harvest, it was naturally impossible to live, so slowly, the population migrated away, moved to Linfen in the southwest, moved to Xiangling, which has a favorable location, and the city of Pingyang was naturally abandoned......

But there's no denying that Binh Duong is indeed a great place to be.

This place is not only fortunate that there is suitable land for cultivation in the surrounding area, abundant water sources, and convenient transportation, but more importantly, this county is ownerless, as long as Feiqian has the ability to control this area, it will naturally become Feiqian's industry.

It's just that the premise is that you have to keep it......
