Chapter Seventy-Two: The Remnant

Zhangjiabao is not a fort to be exact, it is surrounded by a wall about half a person high made of loess mixed with stones, which looks very dilapidated. Some places have completely collapsed, and there are signs www.biquge.info of weathering in many places, and there are holes everywhere, which can only be regarded as a psychological comfort.

Zhang Jun walked out of the house surrounded by a group of people, Song Pei and Suo Sanjie carefully supported him, and still held a cane made of a small tree in their hands. From a distance, there are many low and dilapidated houses in the fort, most of which are thatched huts, and they are not built legally, but they are a bit like shacks.

It is said to be a castle, but it looks no different from a poor mountain village.

Suo Sanjie introduced quickly, Zhang Jun walked a few steps slowly, and then he was tired, so he quickly found a stone platform to sit down, and listened to Suo Sanjie's report while feeling the condition of his body.

I saw him spat and said: "My lord doesn't know, we have been exhausted, but we never thought that we would encounter this village, so we avoided it." The name of this place is Zhangjiabao, and most of the people here are surnamed Zhang, but you are the family. ”

Zhang Jun looked around, saw that they were all familiar subordinates, and asked curiously: "Where are the villagers?" ”

"This ・・・・・・ this ・・・・・・" Suo Sanjie suddenly didn't know how to answer.

"Tell me the truth!" Zhang Jun frowned, he hated the chaos and disturbed the people the most, and he couldn't bear the things that his subordinates did to hurt the heavens and reason, so his tone couldn't help but become stern.

At this time, Song Pei spoke: "Don't worry, the situation is really a bit special, and the villagers took the initiative to let it out, so that the lord can recuperate." ”

"Oh?" When Zhang Jun heard this, he looked at Suo Sanjie and said, "Why is Quan Bin spitting?" ”

"Hey・・・・・・" Suo Sanjie explained: "The lord doesn't know, this is an ancient village!" ”

"Ancient Village?" Zhang Jun didn't know what to mean and asked, "Zeqing, what's going on?" ”

Song Pei smiled bitterly and said: "My lord, since the Eastern Han Dynasty, the world has been in turmoil, and the north is even more Han and Hu, and smoke is everywhere. As a result, countless poor people and clans took refuge in the mountains. ”

"Zeqing is ・・・・・・ say," Zhang Jun said in surprise: "This is the remnant of the previous dynasty who took refuge?" ”

"Exactly!" Song Pei said: "Zeqing has already inquired, most of the people here are from the Cao Wei period, and later there were also Jin people who entered and were taken in, most of them are self-sufficient, and occasionally go out to buy urgently needed." ”

"I see," Zhang Jun nodded, and suddenly thought of the situation described in "The Story ・・・・・・of the Peach Blossom Spring". But everything in front of me is far worse than the Peach Blossom Spring, which is very barren and very difficult to survive.

Come to think of it, the people who took refuge here may have been just ordinary people at the beginning, and even if some people know how to do their craft, it will be difficult to rebuild a paradise from scratch. In the mountains and forests, it is not only difficult to cultivate crops on a large scale, but also the construction of agricultural tools, not to mention medical treatment and disaster resistance.

"Tell the whole army to go out hunting as much as possible and don't burden the villagers." Zhang Jun ordered.

"Don't worry, my lord, the sergeants have already been scattered, and the situation here really can't support us people." Suo Sanjie said with a smile.

"By the way, my wounded ・・・・・・" Zhang Jun pointed to the thigh that had been bandaged, and said, "Who saved me?" ”

"It's Zhang Laohan!" Han Hu interjected: "The lord was originally injured by flesh, but later he suffered evil poison and internal injuries, so he fell unconscious. Zhang Laohan didn't know what method he used, and with the herbs in the mountains, the wound had been stitched up. ”

"Not only the lord, but also the injuries of many brothers, Zhang Laohan has seen them all over the ・・・・・・," Hu Shuo smiled honestly.

"Where is Zhang Laohan, I want to thank him in person!" Zhang Jun hurriedly said.

"I'm going to pass him on to my humble position!" Han Hu clenched his fists, turned around and left.

After a while, an old man with dark skin and a somewhat hunchback was brought over.

Zhang Jun hurriedly got up with the support of Song Pei and Suo Sanjie, and solemnly saluted the old man, saying: "Fortunately, the old man rescued him, Jun Ming felt five guilty, thank you here." ”

Zhang Laohan also returned a salute, but his movements were not the same as Zhang Jun's, he opened his mouth and said a few words, but Zhang Jun suddenly didn't understand.

looked at Song Pei with inquiring eyes, and Song Pei immediately acted as a translator and said, "Lord, Uncle Zhang said that the doctor is benevolent, so there is no need to thank him. ”

"Why are the accents so different?" Zhang Jun was puzzled.

Song Pei had no choice but to explain: "The old man speaks the sound of Wei Shi, and it is mixed with the dialect of his hometown, so it is difficult to understand. ”

"My lord just didn't get used to it at first glance." Han Hu smiled: "After listening to it for a long time, I can slowly understand the meaning." ”

Zhang Jun suddenly heard this, even in the modern era with developed transportation, many places are completely different accents not far away, not to mention ancient times where communication is inconvenient. There is a difference of nearly 100 years in time, and the tone of voice must have changed a lot.

Zhang Jun asked again: "Uncle, when did your ancestor come here?" ”

The old man replied: "In the first year of Huang Chu." ”

"The first year of Huang Chu?" Zhang Jun understood this sentence, it seems that this old man still attaches great importance to when the clan migrates, and he is right. But what year was the first year of Huang Chu? Zhang Jun was confused all of a sudden.

"My lord, Huang Chu is the name of the enthronement of Emperor Wen of Wei, Cao Pi." Song Pei reminded.

"Oh・・・・・・" Zhang Jun instantly thought that the first year of Huang Chu should be 220 AD. In the first month of this year, Cao Cao died of illness, and his son Cao Pi ascended the throne as the king of Wei, and in October of the same year, Emperor Han Xian abdicated, and Cao Pi was called the emperor, which was Emperor Wen of Wei. So far, 12 emperors, 195 years of the Eastern Han Dynasty have died in name.

Through some conversations, Zhang Jun gradually understood some of the situation. In fact, this Zhangjiabao can't be completely compared with the situation described in "The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring", because their people came here one after another, some are poor, some are deserters, and some are simply thieves who have nowhere to escape.

Moreover, the people inside the fort are not unconnected with the outside world, but they move around less. For example, this old man, today's Chinese dialect is incomprehensible, but there are a lot of Xiongnu languages. Sometimes he and Song Pei are simply communicating in a "foreign language", because when it comes to things that neither of them understand, it is more convenient to use a foreign language.

Such a situation reminded Zhang Jun of the first emperor Yingzheng, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the first emperor of the ages. After the unification of the Qin Dynasty, the policy of writing the same text, the same track of the car, and the unification of weights and measures was implemented. Without these measures, the sense of identity of the Chinese nation would never be as strong as it is now. After nearly 600 years of centralized rule in the Han Dynasty and the Han Dynasty, the identity of "Han people" has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Although in terms of individual titles, foreign races now prefer to call Han people Jin people, or Liangzhou people are called Liang people, but in fact, everyone understands that the brand of Han is irremoval!
