Chapter 15 Take Changsha County

Solving Liu Bei's soldiers and horses is even a victory in the defense battle.

Looking back, in the past few months, the Liaodong army has killed more historical celebrities, Wenchen military generals, than in previous years.

If it was before, Gongsun Kang might have captured them, and even if they didn't surrender, they would be put under house arrest and slowly grinded.

But now, the historical process of reunification has begun, and there is only one sentence: those who follow me prosper and those who oppose me perish!

After the defensive phase of the war, it is time to move on to the offensive phase of the war.

Persimmon has to pick up soft pinch, and now the best target for attack is Jingzhou Liu Biao!

Gongsun Kang ordered: Jiaozhou Xunyou, continue to attack Changsha County and Wuling County in the south of the Yangtze River.

Xue Rengui was the right, Zhang Xiu was the deputy marshal, and the two attacked Jiangxia County.

The veteran Huang Zhong is still in Changsha. Originally, he wanted to defect to Liaodong, but Gongsun Kang sent a letter again, asking him to stay in hiding and wait for the arrival of the Liaodong Liberation Army.

Zhang Zhongjing has already resigned from the post of Changsha Taishou, and is now traveling the world, hanging pots to help the world.

The current Changsha Taishou is Han Xuan, and it is said that Han Xuan's prestige is wise and strategic, generous and loving, and enough to convince people. It is also said that Han Xuan respected the imperial court, the people were prosperous, and the society was stable.

But there are some problems between the leaders, between the leaders of the civilian and military generals, and of course, these are also some of the inevitable problems of human society. That is to say: Han Xuan, a scholar, looks down on martial artists and looks down on these big bosses!

But it was said that on this day, Xun You and Li Jun took 10,000 Liaodong naval troops along the Xiangjiang River and set up a boat to Changsha County to govern the city of Xiang.

Seeing Li Jun showing off his power there, Han Xuan was very unhappy.

So I asked left and right, what is the best way to kill the majesty of Jiaozhou's soldiers and horses?

Huang Zhong had been in Changsha County for many years, and he couldn't bear to see the lives of the people of Changsha in misery, so he suggested surrendering. He said: "Liaodong has a large number of soldiers and horses, and now there are their soldiers and horses fighting in various places, which is obviously a posture of unifying the whole country. We might as well surrender as soon as possible, lest the people of Changsha encounter war and their families will be ruined. ”

Han Xuan was furious and scolded: "Old horseman, do you want me to betray the imperial court? ”

ordered Huang Zhong to be pulled down to hit the board.

The civil and military subordinates on the left and right persuaded him together: "General Huang is also thinking about the people, just making a suggestion." Taishou can not listen, but he can't blame him, otherwise no one will dare to speak in the future. ”

Han Xuanyu was still angry, but seeing that Huang Zhong was so prestigious in the army, he had no choice but to let him go, and said, "Since everyone is interceding for him, forget it this time." If there is a next time, the two crimes will be punished together! ”

At this time, the defenders of the four counties in the south of the Yangtze River were all miscellaneous troops, how could they defeat Xun You's wolf-like armed army, and the two counties of Lingling and Guiyang fell one after another. Han Xuan, the Taishou of Changsha, was a good official who loved the people like a son and was deeply supported by the residents. He knew that he would not be able to resist Xun You's army, but he still organized his troops to meet Li Jun who came to meet him.

Because the military generals in Changsha advocated surrender led by Huang Zhong, they were unwilling to assist Han Xuan in the war. Han Xuan then led the army and the people who volunteered to fight in an ambush on a river dozens of miles outside Changsha City, and Li Jun's pioneer Tong Wei Tong Meng was defeated by Han Xuan because of the light enemy.

Han Xuan returned to the city victoriously and made a great sarcasm of Huang Zhong and other military leaders, saying: "You soldiers are afraid of the enemy like tigers, but I can win as a scholar." It can be seen that it is not that the enemy is strong, but that you are as cowardly as a mouse! ”

The next day, Li Jun personally came to Linxiang City to challenge.

Han Xuan sent Huang Zhong to respond to the battle and warned him: "Only win, not defeat!" ”

Huang Zhong went out of the city and went head-to-head with Li Jun.

Although Li Jun is strong in martial arts, he is still not Huang Zhong's opponent.

Fortunately, Huang Zhong is also his own person, and he is merciful everywhere. Li Jun looked at the danger, but in fact, there was no danger.

After all, Huang Zhong is old, and he is tired after a long time with a big knife weighing dozens of catties. He panted and said, "Today there is no victory, tomorrow we will fight again!" ”

Let's go back and go.

Li Jun didn't know that Huang Zhong was his own person, and when he saw that the old man was physically exhausted, he thought it was a good opportunity to win him. Shoot the horse and chase after it.

Huang Zhong was helpless, took off his bow and arrow, and turned around with an arrow.

Of course, this arrow would not kill or injure Li Jun, but only hit Li Jun's helmet.

Li Jun was startled, and then he realized that the old man was merciful, so he stopped chasing and returned to the camp.

In the camp, Xun You heard Li Junyi say, and couldn't help but pause: "I just received the flying pigeon transmission from the lord, and it turns out that Huang Zhong is the person who the lord has already accepted. Thanks to the mercy of his subordinates, otherwise the general would have been miserable today. ”

Huang Zhong released the water too much today, and even Han Xuan, a literati, could see it.

As soon as Huang Zhong returned to the city, Han Xuan ordered Huang Zhong to be tied up and cut down.

Huang Zhong, who was tied up by five flowers, shouted that he was wronged.

Han Xuan sneered: "You collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, and the battle was not good, should I be blind?" ”。

There are many generals who want to surrender to Liaodong, but Huang Zhong is not the only one.

The famous Wei Yan jumped out at this time, and he shouted: "What's wrong with surrendering Liaodong? Follow the national heroes to fight aliens, it is better than fighting in the nest of Han people! ”

picked up a long knife and slashed at Han Xuan.

Several of Han Xuan's personal soldiers hurriedly stepped forward and stopped Wei Yan. Wait for Wei Yan to kill all of Han Xuan's personal soldiers.

Han Xuan had already fled north from the southern city wall, taking off his boots and turning in other directions in the two alleys to confuse Wei Yan, who saw through Han Xuan's suspicion of taking off his boots and finally assassinated him. Later generations named these two alleys "South Reverse Boots" and "West Reverse Boots".

After killing Han Xuan, Huang Zhong and Wei Yan led the county soldiers of Changsha to open the city and surrender.

Xun Yu reassured them with kind words and let them continue to lead the county soldiers in Changsha. didn't give Wei Yan a dismount like Zhuge Liang did.

In fact, Zhuge Liang's so-called killing of Wei Yan is not really to kill, imagine that Zhuge Liang is really determined to kill Wei Yan, and it is useless for Liu Bei to persuade him. Zhuge Liang is because of Wei Yan's arrogant and rude personality, and something will happen if there is such a person in any organization. Chong Wei Yan killed Han Xuan's temper, if he accepted Wei Yan with the treatment of a hero. Then Wei Yan must be proud and difficult to control. So as soon as Zhuge Liang saw Wei Yan, he gave him a dismount, and finally Zhuge Liang sang black face, Liu Bei sang red face, Wei Yan was reprimanded by Zhuge Liang, Nuo Nuo retreated repeatedly, and his arrogance was completely gone.

According to the historical records unearthed in later generations, Changsha County paid heavy taxes during the Three Kingdoms period, and female babies were often abandoned.

In 1996, the number of slips of the Wu Kingdom during the Three Kingdoms period was unearthed in Changsha, Hunan, and there were about 10 million pieces, as many as more than 200,000 characters.

Through the statistics of the number of people in the Zoumalou Wu Jian, the experts found that the gender structure and age structure of the population in the Zoumalou household registration are unbalanced: the proportion of males in the population under the age of 14 is too high; a disproportionately female share of the labour force; Among the population over 60 years of age, there is a basic balance between men and women, but the number of women is slightly higher.

In this regard, experts analyzed that at that time, the government paid heavy taxes, and the common people could not bear the heavy taxes and forced labor and abandoned babies (especially female babies), while young and middle-aged men were the main bearers of war, taxes, and forced labor, and many people died prematurely because of this. In addition, the existence of a large number of disabled patients is the result of the dual effects of natural factors and social factors, and social factors exacerbate the disabling effect of natural factors.

Another discovery: Changsha Zoumalou Wu Jane has a total of more than 100,000 pieces, including more than 80,000 character Janes. Most of the prefect's approvals found in Wu Jian were written in cursive. In the opinion of experts, Chinese character fonts can generally be divided into two bodies, regular and grassy, which are mostly used in solemn occasions, such as inscriptions, government decrees, chapters, examinations, etc., and cursive fonts are mostly used in non-solemn occasions or occasions forced by a certain situation. In fact, in Han Dynasty official documents, cursive script was originally widely in demand. Scholars have pointed out that in addition to seals or subordinates, those who are generally new clerks will undoubtedly need to learn cursive after taking office.
