Dong Zhuo rode on his horse and looked at an ancient city in front of him, with a lot of thoughts.

The building in front of him made of loess is a high-rise city, revealing a breath that makes Dong Zhuo obsessed and intoxicated, this city is Liangzhou Prefecture, Hanyang County is Ji County, also known as Jicheng, known as the first county in China.

Ji County is known as the first county in China, which is by no means groundless.

Qin Wugong ten years, that is, in 688 B.C., Qin Wugong cut Ji Rong, Ji Rong, Ji two counties, this is the beginning of the Huaxia County system, Ji County is the beginning of Huaxia County governance, "Historical Records of Qin Benji" contains, "ten years, cut down Ji, Ji Rong, the beginning of the county".

In the twenty-sixth year of Qin Shi Huang, the country was divided into 36 counties, and the local area was still Ji County, which belonged to Longxi County.

At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, along the Qin system, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was divided into Tianshui County, with 16 counties and Ji County.

In the seventeenth year of Emperor Yongping of the Ming Dynasty of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Tianshui County was changed to Hanyang County and Ji County.

In the first year of Emperor Ling of the Eastern Han Dynasty, he moved to Liangzhou to govern Ji County, and Ji was governed by Liangzhou.

Jicheng is adjacent to Weishui on the left, leans on the south mountain on the right, is located in the yin of Weishui, the yin of the south mountain, the mountains and rivers are yin, which is just the opposite of Xianyang City, the capital of the Qin Dynasty, Xianyang City is located in the Yang of Weishui, the Yang of the North Mountain, the Yang of the Mountains and rivers, so it is called Xianyang.

Ji County is also known as the "hometown of Fuxi", it is rumored that Fuxi, the ancestor of Chinese humanities, was born in Ji County, and evolved the Bagua Platform in Ji County.

Looking at the strange ancient city in front of him, Dong Zhuo was full of emotion for a while, although he had imagined his hometown countless times in his previous life, but when he saw it with his own eyes, he was still shocked by the tallness and prosperity of Jicheng, and there was no need to be poor in the Guanzhong area.

"It is worthy of being the first county in China, the weather is really extraordinary!" For his hometown, Dong Zhuo naturally will not be stingy with his words.

"The first county in Huaxia?"

Gai Xun beside Dong Zhuo was stunned when he heard this, and then reacted and said, "Dong Gong is erudite, and he actually knows the origin of this Ji County!" ”

Dong Zhuo straddled the black unicorn, laughed, and said modestly: "A certain family has just heard people talk about one or two, but Brother Yuangu is really talented, and he actually governs Hanyang County so prosperously, this Jicheng is not worse than the place where Guanzhong is subordinate!" ”

"Dong Gongmiao praised, Ji County is an important town on the Silk Road, and from Chang'an to the Western Regions, it has to pass through Ji County, which is naturally prosperous." Gai Xun shook his head and smiled, and then said: "It's just that now Dunhuang and other places are not peaceful, this Silk Road has been abandoned for hundreds of years, so Jicheng is not as prosperous as before, only because the state is governed here, there is a prosperous atmosphere again, and the other counties in Liangzhou, especially the counties in Hexi, are too bleak and desolate." ”

Gai Xun is a native of Dunhuang, he understands a truth, the prosperity of the homeland of Dunhuang, is inseparable from the Silk Road, and even the entire Liangzhou of Liangzhou, is because of the Silk Road to have a prosperous scene, but now the Silk Road has long been broken, Liangzhou is no longer prosperous, and even Dunhuang Jiuquan and other counties have almost been abandoned.

"Hexi Corridor?" Dong Zhuo asked suspiciously.

"That's right, it's the Hexi Corridor!" Gai Xun was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted, the counties of Hexi are located in the west of the river, sandwiched between Qilian Mountain, Heli Mountain, Longshou Mountain and other mountain ranges, narrow and straight, shaped like a corridor, isn't it the Hexi Corridor.

Liangzhou ruled ten counties and two countries, namely Jincheng, Longxi, Hanyang, Anding, Beidi, Wudu six counties south of the Yellow River and Wuwei, Zhangye, Jiuquan, Dunhuang four counties west of the Yellow River, as well as Juyan subject state and Zhangye subject country.

Due to the geographical location, Liangzhou is sparsely populated, and the agricultural conditions and animal husbandry conditions are not very good, that is, Hanyang County has Huangshui Valley and river water flowing through Jincheng County because of the Weishui flowing through, and agriculture is more developed than other counties.

The four counties of Wuwei, Zhangye, Jiuquan and Dunhuang in the Hexi Corridor have a poor geographical environment, coupled with a sparse population, and all the rise and fall are pinned on the Silk Road, but unfortunately due to the continuous Liangzhou War in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the Silk Road has long been broken, and the Han people in the four counties of Hexi have moved south, and even the Liangzhou Thorn History Department has moved from Guzang in Wuwei County to Ji County, and the four counties in the Hexi Corridor are also occupied by the Qiang people, the Xiongnu and other Hu people, although they are still in the territory of the Han Dynasty in name, in fact, they exist in name only.

Dong Zhuo frowned, it seems that the problem in Liangzhou is not just as simple as the rebellion of Han Sui, Song Yang and others.

First of all, while quelling the internal rebellion in Liangzhou, it was necessary to send troops to recover the four counties of the Hexi Corridor and reintegrate them into the territory of the Han Dynasty; Second, there are many ethnic minorities in Liangzhou, and it is not easy not only to appease the people of these ethnic minorities, but also to let them live in harmony with the Han people; Third, the Silk Road must be restarted and the economy of Xiliang must be restored, which is the most important thing, otherwise, even if the first two goals are completed, it will be in vain.

"The road is long, I will go up and down and seek!" Dong Zhuo rode the horse, looked up to the sky and sighed, his tone was full of generosity and sadness.

"Dong Gong is talented, Xia Guan believes that this Xiliang Prefecture will definitely regain its former glory under the governance of Dong Gong!" Gai Xun said with a smile.

This is not Gai Xun patting Dong Zhuo's sycophants, but from the bottom of his heart.

Six hundred miles from Chencang to Jixian official road, the army has been marching for half a month since it started, in this half a month's time, Dong Zhuo and Gai Xun Jia Xu and others are pointing out the country on horseback every day, inspiring words, Gai Xun was shocked by Dong Zhuo's statecraft strategy from later generations, in his opinion, this is fundamentally from the law of heaven, with these strategies, it is enough for the Han Dynasty to return to its peak period within ten years, and Gai Xun was also completely impressed by Dong Zhuo's knowledge.

"Lord, Gai Taishou, you are about to enter the city, you two want to discuss the major affairs of governing the country, and then discuss it after entering the city!"

Wei Qian on the side looked at the gate of Jixian County, which was close at hand, and interrupted the two people who were still discussing, along the way, Gai Xun pestered Dong Zhuo, and discussed the strategy of helping the world, and he had a headache when he heard it, but Gai Xun was still happy.

"Hahaha......"

When Dong Zhuo and Gai Xun heard this, they glanced at each other, and then they both raised their heads and laughed.

Along the way, although Gai Xun has been pestering Dong Zhuo, it has also given Dong Zhuo a deeper understanding of Gai Xun, Gai Xun can be a general, he is the kind of all-round talent who can write to calm the world and martial arts can immediately determine the situation, which also made Dong Zhuo more determined to completely accept Gai Xun as his command.

Although the war in Xiliang continued, Ji County, as a state governing office, would naturally not be affected too much, at this time the city gate was opened, and the people who entered and exited the city gate were endless.

The war horse walked slowly, but it arrived at the gate of Ji County, and there were already soldiers guarding the city to drive the people who entered the city to both sides, clear the road in the middle, and welcome the army of General Pingxi into the city.

"Xiaguan Liangzhou Assassin Shi Zuochang has seen General Dong, and the general has worked hard all the way!" At the gate of the city, a middle-aged man of about forty ran to Dong Zhuoma and bowed.

This person is the current Liangzhou Assassin Shi Zuochang, no, to be precise, this person has been removed by the Son of Heaven, but Liangzhou is far away from Luoyang Road, and the messenger of the order has not yet arrived, so that he can still have the last few days to be powerful, if this is left in Dong Zhuo's previous life, a call from the central government, regardless of whether you are in Liangzhou or Hainan, the Commission for Discipline Inspection will directly give you the first shuanggui.

"There is Lao Zuo who came to greet General Ben before, and General Ben is flattered!" Dong Zhuo haha and said perfunctorily.

He had already received a letter from Li Ru sent a fast horse, and a few days ago he knew that Li Ru's operation had been successful, and he was worshiped by the Son of Heaven as a former general, leading the Liangzhou pastor, and Zuo Chang in front of him was about to face the fate of raiding the family and exterminating the clan, he Dong Zhuo only had to wait for another ten days and half a month, and when the messenger of the Son of Heaven arrived, the land of the ten states and two kingdoms of Xiliang would be his foundation.

"General Dong, where is this, the general is a hero, I think how arrogant the rebels of Zhang Hansui are over there, sweeping through the counties of Liangzhou, even General Huangfu was defeated by them, but in front of the general, isn't he also beaten like a grandson, so that the general has no power to fight back, a small Liangzhou assassin history of the lower official, can welcome the arrival of the general, that is a blessing in the next!" I have to say that this Zuo Chang's whisker and horse kung fu is good.

"Haha! Well said, well said! Dong Zhuopi laughed and laughed haha.

After a few polite words with Zuo Chang, Dong Zhuo led the army into the city.
