In mid-March, the Han army in Jixian County completed its training and marched to the west of Hanyang County amid the sound of war drums and horns.

The grass grows and the warbler flies in the sky, the willows along the road have bloomed new shoots, and the sound of the Qiang flute is heard from time to time on the road, I don't know if it is because of the turmoil in the hometown and complaining, or for the upcoming war.

The army marched rapidly, and within three days, it had reached the front line of the current war, located in Pyongxiang County in the middle of Hanyang County. The reason for this is because the west of Hanyang County, close to Jincheng County, is now occupied by the Liangzhou rebels, while Yongsan County occupies nearly one-third of the territory of Hanyang County, and almost the west of Hanyang County is under its jurisdiction on the map.

There is also a reason why the jurisdiction of Yongshi County is like this, which can be traced back to the end of Qin and the rise of the Xiongnu.

In the thirty-seventh year of Qin Shi Huang, Qin Shi Huang died in the sand dunes on the way to the east, and the eunuch Zhao Gao coerced Li Si to launch the "Dune Change", they did not mourn secretly, and conspired to tamper with the edict of the first emperor, and the "edict" accused Fusu of not being able to make meritorious service abroad, but resented his father, so he sent an envoy to depose the prince Fusu on fabricated charges, and gave the son Fusu and Meng Tian to die, and renamed Hu Hai as the new emperor and Qin II.

Among them, in the struggle for the rights of Fusu and Huhai, it involved Meng Tian, a famous general of the Qin Dynasty at that time, and Meng Tian was ordered by Qin Shi Huang to be the supervisor of the crown prince Fusu during his lifetime, and when he helped the Qin Dynasty to establish the northern defense line, he established Yuzhong County, which was in the mixed area of Rong, Qiang, Di and Xiongnu at that time.

Zhao Gao and Li Si wanted to get rid of Fusu, and Meng Tian, who had a close relationship with Fusu, became an obstacle, and Meng Tian was in charge of the troops at that time, so Meng Tian's ending can also be seen.

With the issuance of the "edict", Fusu committed suicide, but Meng Tian asked for a repetition because of his inner doubts, and then he was imprisoned in Yangzhou by Zhao Gao and others, and at the same time sent someone to take over Meng Tian's heavy troops, since then there is no hidden danger in everything, and Hu Hai successfully became the second emperor. And Meng Tian, because of his brother Meng Yi, once said bad things about Hu Hai on the issue of establishing a prince in front of the first emperor, and was finally imprisoned and killed by Hu Hai first, and then killed Meng Tian, who had been imprisoned, Since then, the Meng clan of the Qin Dynasty has declined.

At the same time, the Xiongnu, who had been overwhelmed by Meng Tian and couldn't raise their heads, learned the news that Meng Tian had died, and immediately took advantage of this opportunity to raise troops to the south to occupy the northern Xinjiang counties that Meng Tian had built that year. At that time, the counties were newly established, and both the population and soldiers were not enough to resist the invasion of the Xiongnu, and after the counties were occupied, Qin II and others also had no time to take care of the power struggle between the DPRK and China and the chaos in the country, which led to the Xiongnu began to grow.

At that time, Yuzhong County, especially in the area of the Yuanchuan River in its territory, has been a good place to raise horses, so it has become a nomadic area where Rong, Qiang, Di, Xiongnu and other ethnic groups live together, Rong, Qiang, Diduo graze cattle and sheep, and the Xiongnu graze mules and horses, but they have been suppressed by the Qin army before, and dare not act rashly.

But since the Xiongnu occupied Yuzhong County, after the power grew, the other ethnic groups because the Xiongnu obviously had an advantage, have surrendered, since then under the management of the Xiongnu, it has become a livestock area dominated by horse grazing, providing the Xiongnu with a lot of excellent Liangzhou horses, but also become a factor in the rise of the Xiongnu.

Later, until the second year of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Han army won the battle with the Xiongnu, and most of the Xiongnu in Yuzhong County withdrew, and in the second year of Yuanshuo, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty restored Yuzhong County, which began to become the main area of the Han family's horse pasture.

The establishment of Warrior County was in the third year of the Yuan Dynasty, when the Han Dynasty concentrated the Xiongnu and other ethnic groups that could not evacuate at that time in the southeast of Yuzhong County, and divided most of the land in Yuzhong to set up Warrior County, and the two counties coexisted and belonged to Longxi County at that time. As for the reason for the establishment of Yongshi County, you can know from its name, on the one hand, the Hu people who surrendered to the Xiongnu and other Hu tribes were used to graze horses in this place to provide horse resources for the war between the former Han and the Xiongnu at that time; On the other hand, when the Han Dynasty needed it, it could quickly use the system of organizing households and people to recruit those Hu herdsmen who had returned to them as cavalry and send them to the battlefield.

Time flies, the land of Yongshi County is not barren, and the good horses in its territory have always been the main horse production area of Liangzhou people. And what is constantly changing, only his territory, it was first separated from Longxi County, changed to Tianshui County, and in this dynasty, with the change of name of Tianshui County, it was also subordinated to Hanyang County.

Of course, no matter how the name of the county changes, the status of Warrior County is here, no matter where it is, as the main horse-producing area of Liangzhou, Warrior County, its jurisdiction is naturally indispensable. Even though the number of registered people in its county is small, it is also the largest county under the jurisdiction of Hanyang County, and the reason is naturally that there are many good horses in the county.

This is also the main reason why after the Liangzhou rebels captured Jincheng, they couldn't wait to attack the nearby Warrior County, and after taking the Warrior County, they did not immediately launch an attack on Ji County, the seat of Hanyang County, because the rebels needed to digest the resources of Warrior County, especially the resources of good horses in the county.

After all, the rebels revolted, and if they wanted to deal with the army that would definitely be in rebellion after the Han Dynasty, the only way to do so was to continue to expand the army, and in the open land of Liangzhou, the best military force was undoubtedly cavalry. And the people in the border areas of Liangzhou have basically been with horses since childhood, even if some people are not skilled in horsemanship, but compared with the people of the Central Plains, they are also a qualified cavalry.

In addition, there is another important reason for the occupation of Warrior County, which is also a factor for the rebels to occupy him. This reason may not be imagined by those Qianghu people, because for them, there is no shortage of horses in their tribe, and they naturally look down on the war horses in Warrior County to a certain extent, but for Han Sui, Bian Zhang and other Han people who joined the rebels, of course, they will not be unexpected, for Han Sui and others, even if the rebels are not short of good horses because of Qianghu, but this Warrior County is also a key place that the rebels must take.

As for the reason, it is naturally also horses, although the rebels do not lack horse resources to a certain extent, but they are not lacking, which does not mean that the Han army that came to quell the chaos is not lacking. Han Sui and others, who knew the importance of cavalry battles in the open land of Liangzhou, certainly understood that once they occupied Yongxian County, then for the Han army, which lacked the largest supply of horses, it would undoubtedly be a disaster to a certain extent.

This news was only learned by Fu Quan after discussing with the generals of the Han army in Ji County, and when he first learned the news, Fu Quan immediately had a further understanding of the rebels' military plan.

The rebels' occupation of the layout of the warrior county is indeed a heart-wrenching move, and I think this is also an important reason why the Han Dynasty even had to transfer the elite cavalry of the two states to Liangzhou to quell the rebellion, and this military operation of the soldiers also indirectly achieved the elite cavalry troops under the command of Sun Jian and even later under the command of the Sun clan in Jiangdong.

Now, Fuquan's first goal is to fight the upcoming rebels on the vast horse grazing meadows in Warrior County.

Entering Pingxiang County, Fu Quan ordered the army to rest outside the city, and what he brought under his command was 10,000 cavalry that was reorganized together with the Liangzhou Han army after Ji County was sorted out, as well as the infantry under his command that was mainly composed of the old Banyu barbarians.

As for the other soldiers and horses, they were either assigned to other counties in Hanyang County to defend the city, or handed over to Ma Teng, after all, in this war, the main battle was to fight outside the city, not to defend the city. The main point of the war is mobility, it is no different to bring more foot soldiers, you only need to bring enough troops to hold Pingxiang County, and it is useless to bring more.

However, taking Hanyang County as an example, in addition to Hanyang County, the other counties that are still under the command of the Han army in Liangzhou can only barely make up more than 10,000 cavalry, which is not at all like the strength of the Liangzhou cavalry that dominates the world with Liangzhou horses.

Pingxiang County, is the former Han Dynasty, at the beginning of the Tianshui County Administration, after Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, for the Zhenrong County Administration, to the beginning of the Dynasty, reverted to the Tianshui County Administration, until Tianshui County changed its name.

Speaking of the name of Tianshui County, there is also an interesting story, which was originally Tai County, which was originally the land of Tai Rong. Subsequently, in the pre-Qin period, Qin Wugong took his land and placed it in Tai County, which was later changed to Shangtai County. By the time of Qin Shi Huang, the world was initially set up as 36 counties, and Shangtai was one of the counties in Longxi County. When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Tianshui County was placed, and Shangtai was one of the counties, and it was owned by Pingxiang County.

The name of Tianshui County began in the third year of Emperor Wu of the former Han Dynasty, and originated from the beautiful legend of "Tianhe Water Injection", from which it was named.

Legend has it that at that time, Shangtai was densely populated, the houses were adjacent, "the mountains and rivers were beautiful, the forests were dense", at the end of the Qin Dynasty and the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the long-term conquest and drought made the people of Shangtai difficult to live. One night, suddenly a strong wind howled, thunder and lightning struck, a golden light shone brightly, and a red light appeared on the ground. Suddenly, the earth shook continuously, and in the loud rumbling sound, a large crack cracked. I saw the river water pouring down from the sky, pouring into the cracked crack, forming a lake, called "Tianshui Lake".

The water level of this lake is stable, the water quality is pure, sweet and mellow, "spring does not dry up, summer does not overflow, and the four seasons are clear". People say that this lake is connected with the heavenly river, and also call it "the heavenly water well". Later, this legend was heard by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and he gave the lake in the north city of Shangtai, the newly established county that was set up from the two counties of Longxi and Beidi, named "Tianshui County", and since then, it has the name of "Tianshui".

Arrived in Pingxiang County, Fuquan felt a sense of intimacy from the heart, and then thought about it, probably from the intimacy of the ancestors, after all, the surname of the wind began to come out of Tianshui, in the distant pre-Qin era, there was a surname from the wind, the Fuxi tribe with the snake as the totem was born here, and Fuxi, is the ancestor of Fuquan.

The Feng family comes from the Suiren clan, the head of the three emperors in ancient times, at that time, the Suiren clan established itself as "Feng", which is the earliest surname in China, and Fuquan is the person of the Feng clan.

At that time, Fu Xi led the tribe and began to "correct the surname and marry", and implemented the marriage of men and women. Fu Xi was called Feng by his father, and the others were either surnamed by the animals they raised, or by the plants they planted, or by their residence, or by their official position, etc., so the Chinese surname originated from there.

During the Fuxi period, in order to make a marriage system, there was a strict distinction between the surname and the surname, and the clans with women as the center of inheritance were called surnames, and the clans with men as the center of inheritance were called clans. "Those with different surnames have the same marriage; The surname is different, and the marriage is not compatible. ”

Since then, the ancient ancestors of China married with the surname system, forming a leap in social development.

As for the so-called Feng surname, it is not the surname Feng, it is the surname and the surname are separated, the so-called Feng surname is the surname of the tribe, not the surname of the restricted person, Fuxi is called the ancestor of the surname Feng, which means that their tribe surname Feng, and Fuxi's surname, according to the current understanding, should be his "Fu" This name, but after the evolution of time, the meaning that has been handed down to this day has changed.

On the gate of the west city of Pingxiang County, Fuquan looked at the desolate land in the west, and his heart was worried, but he didn't know what the result of this Liangzhou war was in the face of Han Sui?

At this time, outside the fortress of Liangzhou, Han Sui, who was taking thousands of cavalry under his command out of the fortress, couldn't help but sneez, all the thoughts in his heart, looked back at the land of Liangzhou behind him, clenched his horsewhip tightly, and continued to twitch.

In Jincheng County, the Liangzhou rebels, under the command of Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou, waved their troops straight to Hanyang County after a full meal.

A big war is coming, and Liangzhou is another bloody storm......

In the light and in the middle, the thieves in Liangzhou rose, and 3,000 people were sent to Youzhou. Excerpt from "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" The reason why Sun Jian has Youzhou Raid is that Gongsun Chan went to fight against Zhang Chun's rebellion and quelled the chaos, Youzhou still sent cavalry into Liangzhou, but Gongsun Chan was promoted and did not go, Youzhou cavalry was not welcomed in Liangzhou, some of them later fled back to their hometowns, and the Xiongnu and Wuhuan cavalry recruited at that time, and the other part was accepted by other generals in Liangzhou at that time, Cheng Puhan was these two people, it should have followed Sun Jian who had begun to rise at that time, and the cavalry of the Jiangdong Sun clan, although not famous because of the horses, But in terms of combat power, it cannot be underestimated, and most of it is the foundation of the Youzhou Raid
