Zhang Fang didn't expect what happened in Chang'an at this time, he stood by the Yellow River rolling eastward, feeling the "north and south, the Central Plains Qi is complete." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Yunshan even Jin soil, smoke trees into Qinchuan".

This is the Fenglingdu of later generations. After the Yellow River pours down from Hukou Waterfall, it flows south out of Longmen, and because it is blocked by the Huashan Mountain Range, it bends to flow eastward, and the water potential is slowed down -- this slowdown, it slows out of the largest crossing of the Yellow River.

Of course, in the Western Han Dynasty, there was neither the name of Fenglingdu nor the fact of Fenglingdu - that is, there was no large-scale ferry port as large as that of later generations. But there is indeed a ferry here, and it is also a government camp.

In the fifth year of Gaozu of the Han Dynasty (202 BC), he set up a ship Sikong Yamen in Tongguan County, Shaanxi Province, which was in charge of water transportation and boathouses on the Yellow River and Weihe River. Since then, it has been named after the official of the ship, and it is subordinate to Jing Zhaoyin.

After receiving the official letter that the Marquis of Fuping wanted to transition and go to Hedong to follow, the boat Sikong Cheng was ready early. It's just that while I was preparing, I still muttered in my heart, from Chang'an to the ship, seven days, can you really arrive? As a result, he really saw the Marquis of Fuping and his party on the seventh day......

Stayed in the post for a night, and the next morning, Zhang Fang and his entourage crossed the river by boat. When Zhang put on the boat, he also specially asked the helmsman when Bingling (Ling Xun) appeared in previous years. He replied, "In another month." Zhang Fang secretly said that it was dangerous, and then asked when the Yellow River was frozen, and the answer he got was the end of the year.

Zhang Fang nodded with satisfaction, that is to say, when they came back, they did not need to sail, but directly rode their horses across the Yellow River from the frozen river, and they were simply neat.

At the beginning of October, Zhang Fang and his entourage finally set foot on the land east of the river. The first stop is Pugan County (now Yongji County, Shanxi 0), which is adjacent to the Yellow River in the west, and it is rumored that this is the capital of Yushun in ancient times. However, the more ancient the capital, the more it indicates that early human activities were frequent, and the greater the damage to natural vegetation. In the middle of summer, there was a flood here. Zhang Fang read the report sent by Hedong Taishou, full of paper "mourning everywhere", "life is ruined", and "the people are not living". I didn't feel anything from the official documents, but as soon as I set foot on the land east of the river, I immediately had a personal experience.

Along the way, you can see that the fields on both sides of the official road are full of dry and cracked alluvial silt. The immature wheat seedlings that were washed away were all gone. Of course, it wasn't all swept away by the flood, but the muddy pits and messy footprints suggest that it was man-made—unripe wheat is better than bark and grass roots.

As for the remains of the corpses, they can be seen everywhere.

The further north the group went, the roads, villages, and mountains and forests were full of ragged and withered homeless people. They were in clusters and piles, and their expressions were shrunk, and when they saw this whole knight team with bright armor, they were all afraid to avoid it, and they dared to peep out of the forest only when they hid far away.

Zhang Fang wanted to find someone to ask, but as soon as his knights came out and didn't get close, the crowd scattered, and some people even fell down in fright. In order to avoid accidental injury, Zhang Fang had to recall the knight, press the confusion in his heart, and continue on the road.

On this day, it was nearly dusk, and after calculating the itinerary, it was close to Puanti County. Zhang Fang looked at the sky and ordered: "Zhenshuo, hurry up and strive to enter the city after the city gate is closed." "Zhenshuo is the word of Gongsun Fu, during this period of time, they are familiar with each other, Zhang Fang admires this descendant of Wu Anjun, and he is handed over in a broken knot, and the word is commensurate.

Gongsun shook the reins: "Everyone work hard, it's time to enter the city!" "Go first.

All the bents were in high spirits, and since the crossing of the river, the post posts along the way have been completely destroyed, and they can only camp in the wilderness, and keep vigil in two shifts, and have never slept a single night. As long as you can go to the city and live in the government office, you can have a good rest. Encouraged by this momentum, the speed of the team increased dramatically.

When Gongsun Fu had just galloped through a mountain forest, suddenly a small gray shadow burst out of the woods beside the road and rushed into the weeds on the opposite side. Immediately followed by a small figure, shouting: "My vole, don't want to run...... Yes! ”

Xi Yuyu! The war horse man stood up, and Gongsun Fu struggled to clamp the horse's belly, tightened his bridles, and narrowly missed the horse. I looked at it intently, but I saw a seven or eight-year-old boy falling down in front of the horse, and I was stunned to look at the majestic man and horse in front of me, and I was stupid.

Because of this accident, the hurried team stopped. After hearing the report, Zhang Fang asked Qingyan to go to appease, generally speaking, women have an advantage in this regard.

Gongsun was full of shame: "I have caused trouble to the prince." ”

Zhang Fang waved his hand: "You can't be blamed for this matter, fortunately no one was hurt." ”

Qu Liang asked: "Childe, don't wait for anyone, do you want to go on the road first, and Qingyan will follow later?" ”

Zhang Fang thought about it and was about to speak, but saw Qingyan appear in the field of vision with the boy. The boy held the meat sandwich bun (produced by Zhang Fang) in one hand, and devoured it in a big gulp, his mouth was stuffed with bulging, obviously hungry.

Qingyan let go of the boy's hand, came to the car, and said, "Childe, this boy is a Pu regurgitant refugee, and his family is not far from here, where there are several settlements of homeless people. Do you want to ...... Childe?"

Biao Xie hurriedly persuaded: "Junhou, it's not early at this time, it's important to go to the city." ”

Gongsun Fu also advised: "The body of the prince and the prince is not suitable for danger. ”

Zhang Fang looked at the two of them, seemed to be smiling, and asked rhetorically: "What is the purpose of our visit to Pu Yan?" Just to live in the city? Further, what is the purpose of our coming to Hedong? Sightseeing? That's it? ”

Gongsun was responsible for the guard, and although he appreciated the actions of the young Fuping Marquis, he still strongly advised: "If the prince wants to know about the disaster, he can go into the city to find the county order and the village elders to inquire about ......."

Zhang Fang shook his head: "The county commander and the village elder, if you want to ask them, why should I travel thousands of miles?" Wouldn't it be okay to let them play a play? I came down to investigate the displaced people for the imperial court, and I didn't see the displaced people, so I avoided them, how to investigate? ”

Qingyan, Chuliu, Qu Liang and others followed Zhang Fang all the way, and they knew their son-in-law's character well, so they didn't open their mouths to persuade at all, and Qingyan even took the initiative to recommend them - this is the difference.

In the end, Gongsun Fu still couldn't persuade him, he was only in charge of guarding, and the decision was not up to him.

Seeing that Childe had made a decision, Qingyan brought the boy up: "Come, Childe is very kind, and I will give you bread to eat......"

"It's not...... Well, the bread was given by my sister. The boy had already eaten the whole meat bun, and was taking the water bladder handed by Qingyan and drinking the water, and was busy correcting it.

Everyone laughed.

Qingyan also smiled and said: "My sister's money to buy cakes was given by Gongzi, so, if you count it, it's still Gongzi who gives you bread to eat, right?" ”

The boy thought about it, it seemed like this, and then looked at this young boy Juncheng like that, and let down his guard--the era of looking at faces, ancient and modern, especially children.

Zhang Fang beckoned the boy to approach, and said warmly, "What's your name?" Where did it come from? ”

The boy replied a little timidly: "My name is Luo Zi, and I am from here. ”

"Mules?" Zhang Fang looked up and down, not like ah! Well, regardless of him, ask again, "Since you are affected by the disaster, why don't you go into the city to accept the disaster relief and resettlement of the imperial court, but instead live in this barren mountain?" ”

Luo Zizhi said: "I went, but I was driven away by a dog again." ”

Everyone was surprised, how could it be? What kind of dog is so powerful?

Luo Zi thought about it but shook his head: "No, Grandpa said that it was a human being, not a dog." ”

Qingyan was confused: "Is it a human or a dog?" ”

"Ahh Come to think of it, he's a human being, and his name is 'Dog'! ”

Everyone is in a daze, and anyone in the world who has such a name must be a child's nonsense. Unexpectedly, Luo Zi followed the next sentence even more terrifying: "He is still a big official, what is he called 'belly oil'." He must have eaten well and his stomach was full of oil......"

Everyone looked at each other, this official name is so familiar.

Gongsun Fu suddenly laughed and said: "What 'belly oil', isn't it just the post superintendent!" ”

Zhang Fang also patted Xuan and laughed: "I understand, that's right, it's the superintendent of the post - Cao Penggoushen, the superintendent of Hedong County!" (To be continued.) )
