In the south of Shu County, on the north bank of the river, at the southeast foot of Dabie Mountain, there is an ancient city, the Western Zhou Dynasty is the country of Zongzi, the Western Han Dynasty Yuan Feng five years of the county, belongs to Lujiang County, the name is "Zongyang".

In "Zuo Chuan: The Twelfth Year of Duke Wen", it is said: "Chu Zikong ruled Shuzi and Zongzi, and then surrounded the nest. Among them, Zongguo is the genus of Qunshu, that is, Zongyang, which is the ancient Yan surname Fangguo, and the former Han Wu Emperor set up a county in the old Yi, with the name of the ancient country.

The name of Zongyang also has a reason, because the city is located at the southeast foot of Dabie Mountain, and there are many fir trees in Dabie Mountain. "Erya Shimu" has a saying "fir, pine leaf cypress body", because its city is located in the south of Dabie Mountain, so it is called "Zongyang".

Since the rise of Guangwu in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zongyang was disposed of due to the war in the last years of the New Dynasty and the population decreased sharply, so the name of the county was dismissed and incorporated into the boundary of Shu County, which became a remote town in the mountains under the rule of Shu County. So far, more than 100 years, the population of the county has increased slightly, and the Zongyang City at this moment is just a small city with a population of less than 10,000 and a population of about 30,000, and it has not restored the scenery of Lujiang County in the past.

Three days after the grain and grass were burned, the Han army led by Fuquan went all the way south, followed by a group of people, relying on maps and local guides, and finally arrived at the originally planned destination, that is, Zongyang City, which had gradually appeared in front of them.

Looking at the city that was getting closer and closer in front of him, Fu Quan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, and secretly rejoiced that he was going south, if he broke through the blockage of the cottage rebels at that time, he went directly north and marched towards the county seat of Zhishu County, Lujiang County, it would be dangerous, and he would not be surrounded by the rebels.

It's like they walked south on the road of Zongyang, and they didn't encounter rebels along the way, so it can be said that they arrived at the boundary of Zongyang without danger. And now the big banner of the word "Han" hanging at the head of Zongyang City clearly shows that this city has not been captured by the rebels, and it is really a treasure for the Han army that only has more than 1,000 remnants of the army in urgent need of recuperation.

Along the way, I met a lot of fleeing people, the closer to Zongyang, the more people, and after inquiry, I learned that they were all rebels who took refuge in Shu County with their families. Hearing that the rebels were facing the imperial army under Shu County, they all took temporary refuge in the Zongyang territory in the south of Shu County because of the feeling of being unable to leave their homeland in their hearts, and begged for a life in the steep Dabie Mountain. It is probably because the city is too small and the population is too small for the rebels to look down on, so they will send troops to plunder, and they just don't have to flee to other counties, so they wait here for the imperial army to successfully quell the rebellion, and then return to their homeland.

At first, Fuquan, the Han army that had just fought bloodily, was covered in blood, and his clothes were tattered because he pretended to be a rebel, and once it didn't look like the standard armor of the Han army, they didn't even have a big banner with the word "Han", so they were mistaken for rebels by those people, and they made some unpleasant jokes.

Fortunately, several soldiers under his command who were exploring the way were captured by the people as rebels, and they did not resist, but only explained their identities to reason. When those people knew that they were the Han army who came to quell the rebellion with the "Erlong" Bajun Taishou Liuchuan, and had just attacked the rebels' grain camp at night the night before, so they retreated south, because those pathfinder soldiers did not resist from beginning to end, in order to confirm the accuracy of the facts, those people sent a few strong men to verify with themselves, Fuquan knew that this oolong had occurred.

Of course, the scouts he released could not prove his identity, but Fuquan was different, after all, he had the orthodox military transfer documents of the Han Dynasty, as well as official seals and other things, and those strong men obviously dared to come because they had seen the world, and repeatedly checked the authenticity of Fuquan documents, official seals and other things, so they took him to rescue the trapped soldiers.

Later, Fu Quan heard that those people were still preparing to wait for the end of the battle of Shuxian and the rebellion in the imperial court before returning to their hometowns, and weighed it, because he was worried that if the rebels were short of food, they would search everywhere and were likely to attack Zongyang, so he persuaded everyone to go to Zongyang with him, which was why the army was followed by a bunch of people who dragged their families and mouths.

After all, Zongyang City used to be the county seat, and the history is very long, and all dynasties have built and maintained, so the scale of the city is not inferior to some big cities in the Central Plains.

In front of the city gate, because there were striker scouts sent by Fuquan, with documents and official seals that could prove their identities as the guide, a large number of people had already gathered outside the city at this moment, and a group of officials in the city heard that Bajun Taishou was coming, and they went out of the city to greet each other.

Seeing this, Fu Quan naturally didn't pretend to be a big shelf, so he trotted forward from a distance, and then saluted everyone: "Lonely and far here, I don't want you to welcome you like this." "He is now a guest army, and he still has to keep a low profile in this Lujiang County. Although he is a marquis of the Han Dynasty and a county guard, but after all, the so-called "strong dragon can't suppress the head snake", if he puts the shelf enough, it angers the other party, and it is impossible to say that these local officials make things difficult for themselves in some things, making him extremely passive, so it is better to put the shelf a little lower, and everyone is friendly and easy to do.

"I've seen Vobashire!"

As soon as everyone heard that Fu Quan called himself "Lonely", they naturally knew his identity, and hurriedly saluted, and at the same time had a lot of good feelings about this distant Taishou. The reason why they came from afar, of course, was to support the Han army that had just fought a bloody battle, and at the same time, they also wanted to see this "dragon" Taishou, after all, they had a great future, and they had a hard background behind them, so they naturally had a lot of thoughts about making friends, otherwise, if they changed to a foreign Taishou with a small reputation and low family background, even if they were received in the county office, there was nothing wrong with them.

After a courtesy, Fuquan and the officials in the city knew each other, because of the name of the county where Zongyang was dismissed, it was naturally impossible to have the official positions of county commander and county lieutenant. The largest official in the city is only a southern governor arranged by the previous county office to preside over the daily affairs here, and the others are other officials of the county office, after all, Zongyang has been under the jurisdiction of the county government Shu County, and theoretically has been under the jurisdiction of the county office, so only the county office has sent someone to inquire about the governance.

Entering the city, thousands of Han people in the city heard the arrival of the county guard who pacified the barbaric chaos, and they also rushed to the streets to watch the "Dragon Fuquan", and the scene was not lively for a while.

“

Along the way, the officials of Dehan saw that the city was so lively, and they patted Fuquan, the official's ass, to curry favor with the Taishou who had inspected the county for the first time since taking office, especially the Han Ling, and they couldn't wait to say all the good things they could know.

Looking at the Han Ling, who seemed to be nearly fifty years old, Fu Quan thought about it and knew why this person was like this, after all, according to his age, he was still wandering around in this small city with no more than 10,000 people, and his official career could be imagined. flattering himself like this, I also hope that I will give him more merit in the last time, at least when I get old, I don't have to spend it in this ancient city in the mountains and wilderness.
