Chapter 421: The Latent Crafts

Gaoxian City is located in the northernmost part of Xuansu County, Youzhou of the Han Dynasty, and was called Tieling in later generations, which is an important border fortress city, guarding the northern gateway of Liaodong.

Gaoxian City is located in the vicinity of the Great Liaoshui at a 60-degree angle bend, located on the east side of the riverbank, on the west bank of the Great Liaoshui is the territory of Xianbei in Liaodong, and in the north of the Liaoshui bend is the Fuyu tribe. After Gongsun Du ruled Liaodong, he used the main forces to expand to the east, that is, to repeatedly compete with Goguryeo, the first power of Dongyi, for the original Xuansu County that belonged to the Han Dynasty in the former Han Dynasty, so he did not send too many troops in the area of Gaoxian City, but opened a mutual market for the Xianbei people and the Fuyu people here, which greatly facilitated the circulation of goods for the people of the three parties.

In the former Han Dynasty, Xuansu County was located in the center of the Susheng Bone City, covering a large area of Xigaima, Shangyintai, Goguryi and other cities, and now except for Goguryi City, which is still in the hands of the Han people, the rest of the place is occupied by the Goguryeo people. Even in the pre-Han Dynasty, the city of West Gaima, which was located west of the Gaima Mountain and east of the Mazishui, has now moved more than 300 miles to the west and has become a city next to Xiaoliaoshui.

If only from the point of view of dealing with foreign encroachment on the territory of the Han Dynasty, Gongsun Du undoubtedly has a great contribution in Liaodong. Because of this, although Liu He sent troops to deal with Gongsun Du, he did not leave as much room as he did against Gongsun Zhan at the beginning, but gradually weakened Gongsun Du's strength in a gradual and slow way. As for the captured Liaodong soldiers, Liu He even asked his subordinates to give them certain preferential treatment, allowing them to continue to serve in the army as much as possible, so as to prepare in advance for dealing with the Dongyi tribes in the future.

The guard of Gao Xiancheng is named Gongsun Mo, and he is a member of Gongsun Du's clan. Although Gongsun Mo was not very capable, he was obedient to Gongsun Du and was very loyal, so he was sent by Gongsun Du to Gao Xian, mainly responsible for liaising with the tribal leaders of Fuyu and Xianbei in the east, collecting intelligence and collecting wealth for Gongsun Du.

A few years ago, a down-and-out scholar named Yu Ang fled to Gaoxian, and it is said that he offended the local wealthy family in his hometown. So he went to Liaodong to avoid trouble. At that time, Gongsun Mo's subordinates happened to lack a staff member who could write and calculate, and when he saw Yu Ang's elegant demeanor and extraordinary knowledge, he had the heart to solicit. This Yu Ang came to Liaodong alone, and he was not familiar with the place, and he also needed to find a place to stay, so he agreed to Gongsun Mo's solicitation, and made a staff member in front of his tent with peace of mind. Zhang Luo received for Gongsun Mo.

Yu Ang is careful and methodical, and often helps Gongsun Mo come up with some ideas, and after a long time, Gongsun Mo treats him as a confidant, and some important confidential matters do not avoid him.

On this day, Gongsun Mo suddenly received an urgent report from Xiangping, asking him to quickly take safety precautions for the second son, Gongsun Gong, to come to Gao Xian, and send someone to contact the lord of the country, so that important people could be sent to Gao Xian to meet with Gongsun Gong. Gongsun Mo already knew about the tight war on Xiangping's side. Now the second prince is in secret contact with the rest of the husband, which is obviously related to the current war, and he knows that this matter is very important, so he hurriedly found Yu Ang to discuss countermeasures.

"Zixing. This time, the second prince is coming to Gaoxian, and we need to immediately send someone to the north of Fuyu Wangdu, who do you think is appropriate? Gongsun Mo looked at Yu Ang expectantly, and his eyes clearly revealed the meaning of "I am very optimistic about you".

Yu Ang said without hesitation: "Yu is fortunate to be valued by Gongsun Duwei. Now that there is such an important matter, I am willing to go north for the captain! ”

"Good! I knew Zixing wouldn't let me down! This is the king of Fuyu and Tiangang City, you need to be so ......" Gongsun Mo carefully explained the specific requirements and precautions of the envoy to Yu Ang.

Yu Ang remembered carefully. Then he repeated the things that Gongsun Mo confessed word for word, which made Gongsun Mo feel very satisfied.

Because the envoy Fu Yu was involved in the diplomacy of the two states, he still needed to make some preparations, so Gongsun Mo entrusted all the relevant matters to Yu Ang, and he focused on the security protection of Gongsun Gong's arrival.

After Yu Ang returned to his residence at night, he called a domestic servant into the room, and then whispered: "Gongsun Du's second son, Gongsun Gong, will come to Gaoxian in the near future, and Gongsun Mo sent me to Tiangang City to contact the lord of Fuyu, and then facilitate a meeting between Gongsun Gong and the lord of Fuyu." According to my analysis, Gongsun Du felt that the troops were tight, so he wanted to bring reinforcements from Fuyu to Xuansu County. This matter is very important, you need to immediately sneak to the danger to contact General Xu, so that he can deal with it as soon as possible! ”

"The subordinates understand, so they will try to go out of the city overnight to report the danger!"

Listening to the content of the conversation between Yu Ang and the domestic servant, it is clear that it is an intelligence worker lurking behind enemy lines, specially transmitting some important information in the direction of Youzhou.

In fact, Yu Ang is just a pseudonym, this scholar who has been lurking by Gongsun Mo's side for many years, his natal name is Xing Hao, and his character is Ang, and he is a native of Hejian County, Jizhou. When Xing Hao was young, he was promoted by the imperial court and was recruited by Situ, but he was not killed, and changed his surname and table, and ran to Youbeiping County, followed the then Youzhou celebrity Tian Chou to travel around in the north, and formed a deep affection.

The surname Yu is pronounced the same as 颙. Xing Hao's cousin Ziang, in order to hide his identity, he changed it to Zixing, but the pronunciation of the word "Xing" is the same as "Xing".

As the director of the Military Intelligence Department under Liu He, Tian Chou naturally has to spread his eyes and ears and the Quartet, and Xing Hao had already settled in Liaodong before Tian Chou found him, so it was easy to catch the line and become a member of the spies of the Military Intelligence Department lurking in various parts of Liaodong, and it was a more important one. Xing Hao could have lurked into Xiangping, but for his safety, Tian Chou also felt that Gao Xian was located in the place where the forces of Liaodong, Eastern Xianbei, Fuyu and Goguryeo converged, so his good friend lurked beside Gongsun Mo with peace of mind, and it was not activated until the start of the war against Liao.

In another time and space, Xing Hao was promoted to the crown prince and the prince, the captain of the school and the captain of the school and the governor of Taichang in the Cao Wei regime, which shows that his ability is extraordinary. In this time and space, Xing Hao stayed in Gao Xian and became Gongsun Mo's staff because of his relationship with Tian Chou, although it was a bit overkill, but this was only temporary. Once the Liaodong affair is over, Tian Chou will not treat his friend badly, and it is estimated that he will at least recommend Xing Hao to Liu He in person to serve as the Taishou of a county.

Soon after Xing Hao sent someone to report the danger, everything was ready, so he took the gifts prepared by Gongsun Mo and went to Tiangang City under the escort of dozens of guards.

Tiangang City, which is the Changchun City of later generations, is where the current royal capital of Fuyu Kingdom is located.

Speaking of Changchun in later generations, there are still some long historical origins in it. If taken literally, it seems that Kunming, Yunnan, is more appropriately called Changchun, because Kunming's climate is warm all year round, and it is called the Spring City. Changchun, far away in the northeast, is located at a high latitude, so there is a long winter every year, but spring is fleeting, and the time is very short.

The reason why Changchun got its name comes from the ancient Su Shen language "Tea Ah Chong" thousands of years ago, which is the blessing language of the ancient Su Shen sacrifice to the sky. Because the place of prayer was in Xidu, later generations gradually replaced Xidu with "Cha Ah Chong" (the Chinese translation is transliterated as "Changchun"), and later became a place name.

Cha Ah Chong City is the earliest name of Changchun, was built in the period of Emperor Shun BC, is the second royal capital of the early Sushen Kingdom, at that time was the main gathering place of the southern branch of Sushen (Manchu ancestors), called Xi, the second generation of the royal family of Sushen built adobe city walls and palaces here, called Xidu.

Five hundred years later, the two tribes of the southern branch of Sushen gradually migrated to Xidu and merged into the Zhan tribe, in order to commemorate the integration of the two tribes into the kingdom of Sushen, the king of Sushen then changed the name of the country to Dezhen, and changed the "Xidu" to "Helong City". During the Western Han Dynasty, the Buyeo Kingdom was established, and gradually cultural exchanges with the Eastern Han Dynasty in the Central Plains. Taoism was introduced into Buyeo, and the whole people of Fuyu country believed in "Gukou Erlang", which was actually the second son of Qin Taishou Li Bing, and there were many Erlang temples in the city. The Fuyu people changed the capital of the country to Helong City as "Tiangang City". At this time, the population of Tiangang City had exceeded 10,000, and the city walls and palaces were also changed to stone buildings.

At this time, the country of Fuyu was still in the middle of the slave society, and compared with the Han Dynasty, which had completely entered the feudal society, there was a big difference in terms of population, scientific and technological level, and cultural level. Even compared with the self-proclaimed Gongsun Du of Liaodong, there is still a big gap between Fuyu and the country, so it has to rely on the Han officials of Xuansu County for guidance and management, so as to ensure the normal development of various domestic orders.

It was more than 400 miles from Gao Xian to Tiangang City, but because the road was smooth, and the people on both sides of the road escorted the Han official envoys, Xing Hao arrived at Tiangang City very smoothly. When the lord of Fuyu heard that a Han official had come to Xuansu County, he also warmly welcomed Xing Hao into his palace.

Although Xing Hao followed Tian Chou to tour many places in the north a few years ago, he had never been to such a place as north of Tiangang City, so he held the mentality of half envoy and half tour, carefully paying attention to and observing the customs and terrain and landforms seen along the way, and quietly recorded the rivers and tribes that passed by on a silk silk silk close to him.

At this time, Tiangang City was mainly inhabited by the ruling class of the Fuyu people, as well as the slaves who served these rulers, and the soldiers stationed to protect these rulers could add up to about 20,000 or 30,000 people.

For Xing Hao, who has been to Luoyang, Gaoyi, Jicheng and other big cities with a population of more than 300,000, Tiangang City, the holy land in the hearts of the rest of the people, is no more than Erer, looking at the size and population of the city, it is estimated that it is about the same as Gao Xiancheng. Especially when Xing Hao walked into King Fuyu's palace, he only felt that this was a grocery store with all kinds of Han-style furniture, decorations, and hanging decorations, and looking at the appearance of the lord of Fuyu, it was obvious that these things in the palace were displayed to Xing Hao as treasures.

Xing Hao couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart, could it be that such a small barbarian state could really send a large number of soldiers to help Gongsun Chan fight against Liu Yu's father and son? (To be continued......)
