Volume II: The Harmony of Yin and Yang, Chapter 38
Chapter 38: Zhuozhou Worship Post
In the fifth year of Xiping in the Eastern Han Dynasty, in July of 176 AD, He Hanwen finally saw the shadow of Zhuozhou City in the carriage driven by Lang Chaoer.
There were more than 40 refugees brought by He Hanwen from Handan, and along the way, He Hanwen repeated his old tricks every time he went to a place. By the time this large group of men and horses pierced the eyes of the defending soldiers like sharp swords from the gray dawn, the size of the convoy had increased to about three hundred.
The carriages were not sufficient, so He Hanwen had to ask the refugees to make a lot of wheelbarrows and carts on the spot, and with the purchase of food and the storage of fresh water, the group walked the many miles with a little fatigue.
He Hanwen must be sure that in the journey of most of the year, the contributions of Da Niu and Zhang Bo must not be erased. Among the refugees carried by Ho Hanwen were a large number of female dependents and some children, and they absolutely could not rely on their feet to complete this journey. So, designed by Ho Hanwen, Zhang Bo was responsible for making a large number of wheelbarrows, which were used by strong laborers to carry women and children, and wheelbarrows to carry food and water.
He Hanwen must not be able to stand the life of eating dry food every day, so with Da Niu, a hunter and bodyguard, He Hanwen does not have to do it himself, and everyone in the entire team can still drink a bowl of steaming broth every month - although everyone can only get a small bowl, this does not stop everyone from licking the bottom of the bowl cleanly.
"Young Master, there is Zhuozhou City in front of you! Look!" Lang Chao'er swept away his old frowns and opened the conversation again with great interest.
"If you don't speak, no one will treat you as mute, we have already seen it!" Xiaozhu glanced at Chao'er as usual, and said angrily, she read the wrong information sent by Qingtianlou yesterday, which made He Hanwen very unhappy, so she vented all the grievances she had received on Chao'er.
Yesterday, when He Hanwen reprimanded Xiaozhu, Lang Chao'er happened to hear it -- look at it! If these refugees were replaced, they wouldn't dare to listen to a word more, and Lang Chao'er dared to tease Xiaozhu for two sentences. He Hanwen didn't care, let them fight by themselves, he still had to try to please Li Shen who was changing his hair, but the effect didn't seem to be good, a blood mark on his arm proved that Li Shen's temper was definitely not easy to get along with during this time, and He Hanwen didn't put his grievances on Xiaozhu to a certain extent?
"Xiaozhu, if you have any new information today, read it. He Hanwen was busy petting the cat, and he was too lazy to go to see the bamboo slips sent by Qingtianlou in person.
Xiaozhu was just scolded yesterday, and she didn't dare to slack off today, so she quickly took out the top copy of the pile of bamboo slips that had been prepared at her feet, and unfolded it and read: "Yizhou County Zhuyi is anti-Han." In April of the fifth year of Xiping, Zhuyi of Yizhou County rebelled against the Han Dynasty and seized Yizhou Taishou Yongzhi. The Han court sent the imperial history of the Zhu Turtle to discuss, and was defeated by Zhuyi, so he took Taiwei Peng's subordinate Li Hao as the Taishou of Yizhou County, and attacked Zhuyi with Yizhou Thorn Shi Pet Zhi Hair Plate Barbarian Attack Zhuyi, broke it, and Yizhou County was determined. ”
He Hanwen: "Hmph, the barbarians are still trying to cause trouble in vain, and this is to hit Puyu with cotton! However, although the barbarians are not in the climate, they attack and harass the anti-Han people year after year, which is really a big trouble for their hearts. Counterinsurgency is an expedient measure, and over time, it is necessary to start from the root in order to prevent future troubles. ”
Xiaozhu rolled up this bamboo slip at this moment, took out another one, and said, "Yes, what Gongzi said is very true. In the fifth leap month of the fifth year of Xiping, Yongchang Taishou Cao Luan Shangshu complained for the party members, and the words were fierce, Emperor Ling was furious, and immediately put Cao Luan to death, and reaffirmed the ban of the party, and ordered the state and county, all party protégés, deceased officials, fathers and sons, brothers, and relatives within the five suits who were in power were exempted from official imprisonment. ”
He Hanwen: "The disaster of the party, the disaster of the party!
Xiaozhu also tied up this bamboo slip and put it away, and then turned the rest of it one by one, and there was no interesting thing, until it turned to the bottom of the penultimate bamboo slip, and then continued to read: "Cai Yong was edicted to make the "Holy Emperor Chapter", Yi Hongdu Gate played, when Hongdu Gate is repairing and decorating, the craftsman used a broom to make a word of lime mortar, Yong greatly appreciated, was inspired, and returned to create a white book, its words and strokes are white, like a dry pen written. ”
He Hanwen: "Oh, it's very interesting, very interesting... After speaking, he fell into deep thought, Xiaozhu saw that He Hanwen was thinking about things, although she wondered how interesting this matter was, she didn't ask spontaneously - she didn't want to look stupid in front of He Hanwen.
He Hanwen knew that Cai Yong created the Feibai Book, in He Hanwen's era, the Feibai Book was also called the grass seal, because some of the strokes resembled a bird's head swallowtail, and also resembled a bird's head and phoenix tail, the horizontal and vertical strokes were white, the flying pen was white, dry and moist, and it seemed to be made of a dry pen, so it was called Feibaishu.
However, this is not the first time that Ho has encountered such things that do not correspond to the history he knows. In He Hanwen's cognition, Cai Yong's creation of Feibaishu should have been in the sixth year of Xiping, that is, in 177 AD, I don't know why, this incident was a whole year ahead of the historical moment. Ho Hanwen worries that this is the influence of the uncertainties that he has brought to history in this era. However, after thinking that there are monsters and immortals in this world, He Hanwen is not worried, and he attributes these differences from history to the idea that "this world is not his world".
He Hanwen: "What are the movements of the northern grassland tribes?" he asked suddenly, because he remembered that this year, the Xianbei and Qiang people carried out a wave of extremely large-scale raids against the Han Dynasty, and it was this raid that led Lü Bu to take refuge in Ding Yuan's account.
Xiaozhu listened to the words and said: "The grassland tribe is unusually quiet, and at the beginning of the year, they also sent envoys to make offerings. ”
He Hanwen was puzzled: "This is really strange. Xiaozhu, when he entered the city, he inquired with Qingtianlou about the news of Ding Jianyang, the assassin of Bingzhou, especially in the personnel appointment of Bingzhou, and told Qingtianlou that I, He Hanwen, remembered this situation. ”
Xiaozhu nodded yes.
Zhuozhou City looked not far away, but in fact, when He Hanwen and his party really arrived at the south gate of Zhuozhou City, it was almost noon.
"Make the tide, take my waist card, if there are soldiers to stop you, brighten. He Hanwen ordered.
"No, young master, don't worry, we are familiar with the people on duty today, and we will definitely handle the matter of entering the city properly!" Lang Chao'er took He Hanwen's waist card, stopped the convoy, turned over and dismounted, and went to the soldiers defending the city. After a while, I was notified of the release.
"Make the tide! You and take your family members to the residence to repair and resettle, and at noon, start the fire and cook first. Xiaozhu, you will go with Langchao'er, take care of the accommodation, and I will go to Dr. Lu with Li Shen to submit the prayer post!"
