Chapter 456, Yan Baihu
Wucheng is located in the west of Zhenze (Taihu Lake), formerly known as Hucheng, and is the pillar of Yin Chun Shenjun Huang Xie, the order of Chu in the late Warring States period. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
For the people of Jiangdong, Chunshenjun Huang Xie has great merits, for the strength of the Chu State, Huang Xie gave up the rich Huaibei twelve counties, took the initiative to ask to be sealed to Jiangdong, after 20 years, he built water conservancy in Jiangdong, dredged the river, suppressed floods, won the hearts of the people, in addition to building a wide range of cities. Hucheng is one of them, named after the grass in the west of the city. Qin Wangzheng twenty-five years, two years after the fall of the Chu State, renamed Wucheng, because of the county Wushen, Cheng Lin two good wine-making and named, is the so-called "Mei City is a person is an official, Wucheng is the name of the county wine", Wucheng produces fine wine, so named for hundreds of years, until the Sui and Tang Dynasties, it was replaced by the name of Huzhou.
But in later generations, people knew this ancient place name, not because of Wucheng's wine, but because of a person - Wucheng Hou Sun Jian.
It is said that Sun Jian, the marquis of Wucheng, is absolutely unique among the princes of the late Han Dynasty, not only the earliest, but also the county marquis who is directly sealed, which is higher than the current level of Liu Feng's Shangyu township marquis.
The antagonism between civil and military has always existed, and it reached its peak in the Ming Dynasty, although the distinction between civil and military in the Han Dynasty was not as sharp as the Ming Dynasty, but Sun Jian, who was born in martial arts, has always been disliked by scholars, and is often discriminated against and insulted. In the case of almost all the rebellions in Jingnan, Sun Jian took his cronies, under the constraints of a group of scholars and superiors, almost single-handedly, to quell the rebellion in Jingnan and even Yuzhang across the border. So later, Liu Yu and Gongsun Zhan tried their best to express themselves in Youzhou, in order to seal their wives and sons.
Unlike the title that was sealed out of Cao Cao's hands when the world was completely out of control, Sun Jian's title has a higher gold content, which is also the ultimate goal of the civil and military dynasties. You don't see that Li Guang has been busy all his life for this, and he has not been able to become a marquis until he dies. Compared with other princes, Liu Yu and Liu Yan were only crowned marquis later, and Gongsun Zan was the same, he was still the first to seal the Pavilion Marquis, and later changed the title to the county marquis, Yuan Shao's original title was the Marquis of Qixiang, or Dong Zhuo was sealed in order to win over the Yuan family, and later Cao Cao, Sun Ce, Liu Bei and the like needless to say. Therefore, in terms of qualifications, Sun Jian does not have to be Cao Cao and Yuan Shaocha, that is, his background limits his achievements, and he has to rely on Yuan Shu, and he was finally killed by him.
In the game, although Sun Jian was not killed in the pit, he was also discarded by Huang Zhong, who appeared in advance, and has been hiding in Yingchuan to recuperate, and has never moved again. In history, it is unknown whether Sun Jian received any benefits after being named the Marquis of Wucheng, but in the game, he was afraid that he would not get any benefits from it.
Unlike the big clans in Wuxian and the vicinity, although they are powerful, they at least maintain the superficial order at any time, but Yan Baihu, who is entrenched in Wucheng, is different, more like the clan forces in Jingnan, not only secretly against the imperial court, but once the imperial court or the ruling chief is weak, they dare to blatantly mess around. Therefore, they were called "thieves" by the contemporaries, and they were the targets of the local governors, even if their harm to the country was not necessarily as serious as that of the local clans.
Yan Baihu's family has been rooted in Wucheng for several generations, but it has not developed smoothly, and can only be majestic in Wucheng. For more than a hundred years, their family has been trying to spread their power, but they have been repeatedly driven back by the Wu County clan, and several times they have almost been wiped out.
But even so, the Yan family has never given up the idea of expanding outward, and the Taihu Lake in the northeast has become the main direction of their development. However, they are very vigilant about the expansion of the Yan family to Yuhang in the south and Yangxian in the north, so the Yan family has not done anything big in these places for a long time.
As for Danyang County in the west, the Yan family is not interested, the people of Danyang are fierce and easy to produce elite soldiers, but compared with Wu County, it is even more barren, only along the Yangtze River is slightly better. The ancients had a strong sense of region, and they provoked a dispute between the two counties for the sake of Danyang's little interests, which was also unwilling by the Yan family.
The Yan family has developed to the present, and has been in charge of Yan Baihu for decades, and finally regained its original strength, taking advantage of the Yellow Turban Uprising and the national turmoil, the strength of the Yan family quickly recovered, and it surpassed the peak of history in just a few years. But just when he was dealing with internal affairs and ambitious to develop outward, there was no place left.
The three counties of Wu County have been occupied by Liu Feng, and there are heavy troops stationed there, and he doesn't want to provoke Liu Feng who has a county; In Danyang County to the west, a three-way battle is underway; Not to mention the east, only Yang Xian in the north can give it a try, but even so, it can't be blatant, their Yan family's strength is strong, but it is impossible for others to stagnate.
Yan Baihu's real name is Yan Hu, and the name of White Tiger comes from novels, but it is more widely circulated. At this moment, in Wucheng, far more luxurious and magnificent than the county government, Yan Baihu, who looked like he was in his forties, was holding a note, bowing his head and being silent, as if he was pondering something.
"Big brother, are you looking for me in such a hurry, what's the matter?" At this moment, a strong man walked in, it was Yan Baihu's younger brother Yan Yu. The Yan family can have today in the hands of Yan Baihu, in addition to Yan Baihu's skill, his younger brother's courage is also indispensable.
In fact, according to the normal development trajectory, it is impossible for the Yan family to recover its strength in such a short period of time, but Yan Baihu took a shortcut, not only recruiting some Shanyue people, but also a large number of bandits, making the Yan family the largest bandit group in Wu County, it can be said that it is for the sake of strength, and even the reputation is gone.
Players from Wucheng were glad that there were no bandits to attack them at the beginning, and they simply completed the task of upgrading their territory, but unfortunately, after the development of large villages, Yan Baihu was late, and the huge taxes made people unable to make ends meet, and they couldn't see the hope of fighting the greedy Yan Baihu, so many people gave up developing in Wucheng and switched to other sides.
Of course, there are also players who insist on developing in Wucheng, and they are not bad for money, because even if Wucheng has all kinds of flaws, but at least there are a little benefits, as long as they please the Yan family, there will be no obstacles before the territory is upgraded to a medium-sized city, and many people will insist on developing in Wucheng with the intention of fighting back after being strong.
"How many times have I told you, don't always stay in the barracks, those bandits can take advantage of it, we must always go back to the past, or even go further, and become one of the big clans in Wu County, instead of being regarded as a local sect thief like now, and everyone shouts and beats them." Hearing Yan Yu's voice, Yan Baihu turned around and said with some dissatisfaction.
"Big brother, I know, if you have something, you can say it quickly, I still have to compete with people, I have won seventeen consecutive victories before, and I must reach at least twenty today." Maybe I've heard too much of this kind of thing, and Yan Yu doesn't care about it at all.
"Look at this!" Yan Baihu was very helpless about this, so he had to hand the note in his hand to Yan Yu.
"What? The big clans of Wu County united and invited us to Wu County to discuss the affairs of Wu County? Big brother, what's the hesitation here, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, hurry up, it's not good for them to change their minds late. After looking at it, Yan Yu shouted, with excitement on his face.
"Just like you, how can the Yan family continue to grow in your hands in the future!" Yan Baihu sighed, "Can't you be more careful, take a closer look, and think more?" ”
"Big brother, I've seen it and thought about it, isn't it that they can't deal with Liu Feng, who is good at it, please go and fight together! Otherwise, how could they be so kind to let us participate in the big things of Wu County? This is not right, the Huiji army has repeatedly gone out to fight in recent years, creating a great prestige, if it weren't for the eldest brother, you don't allow it, I would have gone to Yuhang or the hometown to see and try their catties. This is just right, killing two birds with one stone. Yan Yu also spoke eloquently.
Yan Baihu was really speechless, and he no longer had hope for this younger brother.
I only care about what I am interested in, and I don't care about anything else, so I don't know, this is a huge pie put out by the Wu County clan, which seems delicious, but who knows if it is a huge trap, once you go, you will never come back.
He wasn't worried that the Wu Jun clan would attack him, what he was worried about was that once he pulled the army out and Liu Feng was hard to shake, would he continue the glory of the family in the end, or would it be destroyed? (To be continued.) )
