Chapter 50: The Founding of the City
The big river is surging, rushing down from the Hetao, splitting the loess plateau for thousands of miles all the way, when it is about to bend eastward and never return, there is a wide tributary in the north first, and plunges into the big river, so it merges into one place.
This tributary is blue in color, and it is as beautiful as a ribbon of silk overlooking. If you go back from the confluence of the big river, you can see that it first lies between the mountains and plains in the east of the river, and then winds northward, almost running through the entire land of the Three Jins, and the place where it passes through is where the essence of the Jin land is. This beautiful tributary is the famous Fenshui.
After the Shayuan War, the Western Dynasty took advantage of the situation to seize most of the east of the river. The Fenshui is dividing the land east of the river into two halves, north and south, and since then, the broad Fenshui has become a natural border between the two Wei Dynasty.
This is the territory of Gaoliang County (now Jishan County, Yuncheng City, Shanxi Province) in the south of the Western Wei Dynasty, the clear water is like a blue Fenshui sparkling west, and on the south bank, you are seeing a number of horses riding along the river slowly. Immediately, a few knights either watched the river or inspected the mountain, pointing all the way, talking non-stop, and sometimes even arguing, although they could not hear what was going on, they also knew that the noise was quite loud.
"The one riding the yellow horse inside is Pei Yuanjun?"
"Isn't it? I have seen Pei Yuanjun come and go several times these days. ”
On the undulating high hill not far away, there are many flat-headed people standing here and there, and the nagging ones are naturally the conspicuous knights on the riverside. Although the knights are pointing out the rivers and mountains, they don't know that they have also become the objects of instruction. In the meantime, there is a knight in green clothes, riding a tall yellow horse, talking and laughing freely, looking at the most eye-catching, not a bystander, it is the West Dynasty Dongdao Daxingtai, Nanfen, Huazhou Thorn History, Hussar General, Zhao County Gong Pei Guo.
"This Pei envoy Jun... is really dignified, personable, worthy of being a disciple of Peimen. ”
"Needless to say? In the end, I can't write two Pei characters in one stroke. ”
"Pei Yuanjun did not serve in Puhan City (Nanfenzhou Prefecture, now Yongji City, Yuncheng, Shanxi Province), but stayed in my Gaoliang County for a long time, but why?"
In the past few days, I have seen Pei Guo galloping on the bank of Fenshui with his subordinates, and he often "talks". This situation and this scene not only taught the Zhoufu villagers who lived on the south bank of Fenshui to find it strange, but also attracted the wealthy people in Gaoliang County, all of whom were discussing, and they couldn't guess how the lord of a state would "linger" in Gaoliang and other border counties.
While chatting, I suddenly heard a neighing of horses, and I saw Pei Guo and his subordinates spurring their horses, and they ran out in a puff of smoke, and they disappeared soon.
。。。。。。
It is still the south bank of Fenshui, and a high hill suddenly rises on the riverside, which is quite vast.
In the sound of boos, Pei Guo hurriedly pulled the reins to stop the horse, his eyes were shining, and as far as his eyes could see, it was the high mountain near the river in front of him.
It was Wei Biao who was beside him, and when he saw this, he smiled and said, "What am I talking about?" Turning around, Brother still favors this place the most? After the Battle of Heqiao, Wei Biao was awarded the title of guerrilla general for his military exploits, and then entered the county of Jinyang, and Pei Guo promoted him to be a soldier in Nanfen Prefecture, so that he was in charge of the military affairs in Hedong. Wei Biao's position is higher, and his actions and conversations are becoming more and more calm.
"I'm still the same!" Zuo Cheng Pei, the master of the East Road, said in a wide voice like a bell, and shouted: "Although the terrain here is dangerous, only one place in the south can be passed in the east, west, north and south. ”
"Zuo Cheng is right!" Not far away, Liu Qiu, the right man of the Dongdao Daxing Taishang Shu, rode a horse to chase after the general, panting and said: "If you want me to say, the place where the city was built is still the best one hundred miles of slope, according to the high slope of Heyin, it is dangerous, and the east, west and south sides are open and unobstructed, and the advance and retreat are appropriate, isn't it wonderful?" ”
The two Hedong celebrities were also like cannons, but they were good at grabbing white, and suddenly taught Wei Biao to be sluggish, and he couldn't talk anymore.
You said that a few of the principals of the host Daxingtai gathered in this Gaoliangbian County, patrolling along the river every day, and arguing endlessly, so what happened?
It turned out that after Pei Guo repelled Xue Xiuyi, he thought that Nanfenzhou was adjacent to the enemy border, and Jinyang was not far away, so he had to be on guard against the arrival of the eastern thieves. But if it is the same as the previous few times, and the head sect thief goes deep into the hinterland to wreak havoc everywhere, then how can this state be pacified? How can people's livelihood be safe?
I don't have to say that when the enemy is blocked from the country and the thieves are not allowed to enter and disturb the people, this is worthy of the people of Hedong, and it will not live up to the high crown of the history of Nanfenzhou on his head.
In this way, Pei Guo had the idea of building a strong city and a large army on the border. When summoning the civil and military affairs of the host Daxing Taifu to discuss, because of Pei Guo's extremely high prestige, half of the people in Thailand were the same as Wei Biao, but they nodded in response, and they didn't think much about it at all. The rest of the more thoughtful important people such as Pei Kuan and Liu Qiu, because most of them were born in the Hedong clan and their wealth and industry are tied here, wouldn't it be best if the hinterland of Nanfenzhou was saved from war? So they hit it off.
That's how it was settled.
If you want to build a city, the first thing is naturally to choose a location.
At the junction of Nanfenzhou and the Eastern Wei Dynasty, from west to east, there are four counties: Longmen (now Hejin City, Yuncheng, Shanxi Province), Gaoliang (now Jishan County, Yuncheng City, Shanxi Province), Nanjiang (now Jiangxian County, Yuncheng City, Shanxi Province) and Shao (now Yuanqu County, Yuncheng City, Shanxi Province).
Among them, the three counties of Longmen, Nanjiang and Shao are either pillowing Luliang or leaning on Zhongtiao, and the border is rugged and the road is difficult to travel. Since Pei Guo arrived in Hedong, he has already built forts and forts at dangerous places, dug ditches to divert water, and he dare not say that he has no worries, and there is no risk of losing his defense. Only this Gaoliang County, the terrain is relatively flat, which is conducive to the march of the army. Because of this, if the Eastern Army wants to map the hinterland of Nanfen, every time it comes to attack, it must first pass through Gaoliang County.
So they discussed it, and the place where the city was built should be in this Gaoliang County. This is also the reason why Pei Guo and the others came to Gaoliang County to linger.
However, Gaoliang County has a vast land, so where should it be built in the county?
Fenshui flows through Gaoliang County, and the county is divided into north and south. The north is only narrow for dozens of miles, and the eastern army gallops horses, and the people are unbearable, and most of them have crossed the river and moved to the south of the county, which can be described as ten rooms and nine empty. Truth be told, it doesn't help. And the Fenshui is horizontal, although it is not like a big river to be called a moat, but it also blocks the north-south traffic, if a large number of troops are stationed in the north of the county, the supply is a big problem, not to mention, it is easy to wrap the circle for the east thief if you are not careful, then it is not a good thing.
So, the big guys unanimously agreed, and simply abandoned the land in the north of the county and built a city near the water on the south bank. This is also the proper meaning of the question--- there is a long river in front of it, and there is one more natural danger first, isn't it?
Fenshui is wide, it is the main road of water transportation in ancient times, if the water rises sharply in summer, sometimes it can pass through the building ship and the big ship. Therefore, the low terrain must not be chosen, otherwise the thief only needs to drive a big ship and attack from a high position, so what is the use of this city?
Pei Guo then galloped back and forth with a group of subordinates, surveyed all the way along the south bank of Fenshui, and picked the high and dangerous slopes.
The people of Nanfenzhou didn't know Pei Guo's calculations, and they became curious, so there was a big guy gathering in Gaogang to watch the lively drama.
