Eighty-two: Langya Kingdom, Zhuge Lin
Chapter 82
The place where Wolong was born, Langya.
Its predecessor was the feudal country, before there were many feudal kings were sealed here to be the king of this Langya country, the Langya country has a vast area, many counties, the tax is very high, its palace is gorgeous, the capital is solid, it is a military important place with a heavy status.
During the Three Kingdoms period, [Kaiyang] has always been the capital of Langya Kingdom, and there is the king of Langya. The Zhuge clan of Langya Yangdu is divided into three kingdoms, and its family is huge, the cross-border domain is vast, and the reputation is far-reaching.
At this time, after the chaos in the world, Langya established itself as a country, and did not belong to the jurisdiction of any country, and was an independent entity. Its current monarch is none other than the Zhuge clan, whose name is [Zhuge Lin].
The reason why Zhuge Lin was able to exist in the dispute of these five countries is inseparable from his ability, he spread the news to the two neighboring countries, and if anyone can unify the north and the south, he will bow down and belong to his country. It's not just as simple as spreading news, the whole Langya terrain is complex, with the Yi and Shu rivers as the center, surrounded by mountains on the west, north and east, forming a fan-shaped alluvial plain to the south. Mountains, hills, plains... Covers a wide range of complex terrains. Coupled with Zhuge Lin's own ingenuity, this careful arrangement, no one dares to move this land easily. Whether it is the Northern Zhou in the north or the Southern Tang in the south, they don't want to have a conflict with it, and this Zhuge Lin also claims that whoever can unify the north and the south will bow down and be a vassal, so the two sides basically agreed. Its trade is free, no matter which side of the carriage can pass by, and which merchant ships come here to trade, they can borrow from here, so that this Langya country can always exist here.
There is a folk children's song about this matter, this song is sung like this: the north and the south look at each other, and Langya is neutral in the middle, when can it be merged with Langya, and wait until Zhuge is dying.
The interesting thing about this song is that the word "pro" of Zhuge Lin is the same word as the "pro" of "dying", so he sang it directly: "Wait until Zhuge is dying!"
From this children's song, we can know that this Langya country will have Zhuge Lin in charge one day, and no one will touch this land one day.
"Your Majesty, the envoy of Shu is here!" [Wang Shaozhi] bowed his head and said.
"Haha, as expected, the king can prepare the banquet. Zhuge Lin chuckled and said.
"But... This envoy of Shu has only set off for a short time..."Wang Shaozhi emphasized again.
Zhuge Lin stood on top of the main hall, raised his eyes and looked at this Wang Shaozhi, then retracted his gaze, paced left and right, and said slowly in an instant: "The envoy of Shu is in a hurry, and he will be able to reach my Langya before dark, Wang Aiqing will go down and prepare." ”
After hearing Zhuge Lin's words, Wang Shaozhi stopped talking, took a few steps back, and then turned around and walked out of the hall.
Although it appears in folk songs, this Zhuge Lin himself is very young, even if he wears the curtain crown, he can hear the voice, this age may be about the same as Xiong Jingchong, so when Zhuge is dying, this is probably not a moment and a half to wait.
At this time, Zhuge Lin was left in the main hall, but this Zhuge Lin was still looking ahead, and in front of him was the direction of the main hall door, and this door was also open. When there is no one, Zhuge Lin likes to stand in the main hall to look at this direction, because the palace is built in a high place, so the scene outside this gate is excellent, at first when the palace was built, Zhuge Lin instructed his subordinates to build the palace in the direction of the west, this direction should be very accurate, accurate to if there is a heavenly eye can directly look at the direction of [Wuzhang Yuan] from here.
At that time, this requirement made the whole country spend a lot of effort, and in the end I really couldn't think of how to measure, so I used the stupidest and most secure method, that is, to let a group of people start from Wuzhang Plain, and then according to the detailed map, all the way over, this method was time-consuming and laborious, and it took a year and a half to complete.
But there are no complaints from all over the country in Langya, because this Wuzhang Yuan is the place where Zhuge Liang died as an immortal, and it is also the place where Zhuge Liang spent his life to recover the Central Plains and revive the Han Dynasty. Exhaustively, dedicated... These words are all portrayals of Zhuge Liang's life, Langya people respect Zhuge Shi, and even require their children to be familiar with Zhuge Liang's works as soon as they are born.
"At the beginning, the ancestors took Shu as the starting point and wanted to follow Liu Bang's example to seize the world from west to east, and now the king thinks that it is not impossible to seize the world from east to west. ”
Zhuge Lin looked in the direction of the gate in a daze, as if he could look at Wuzhang Yuan when he stood here.
Liu Cong and his entourage took a carriage, just walking on the road by the mountains and water, the wind blowing at this time was already the sea breeze, when walking on a high place, you could see the sea from a distance, the wind on the sea floated over with the salty smell of salt, the seagulls spread their wings and wandered on the sea, and the mountains in the west were winding for hundreds of kilometers without seeing their tails.
"We've already passed a few post stations before, and this should be in Langya. Fan Shijin looked at the map in his hand and said.
It was also the first time for the group to trek from the inland to the seaside, and they were naturally overwhelmed by the scenery along the way.
"It's such a good mountain and water, but there is no big brother Wenren to accompany you, alas!" Liu Cong sighed as he looked at the scenery outside the window.
Uncle Wei rode into the window and said, "Little brother, everyone has their own ambitions, you heard that the eldest brother is a real man." ”
"What Brother Wei said is reasonable, Wen Renxing has his own plans, and we should understand him. Fan Shijin rolled up the map, looked out the window and said, "But where is this Sword Sect?"
"The junction of Houshu and Southern Chu is not very clear. "Uncle Wei has a lot of experience in entering the rivers and lakes.
Fan Shijin nodded, patted the map in his hand and said: "If I wait for the mission to go well, the way back this time will definitely be by water, and the boat will also pass through Chudi, and then I can also look for people and stars!"
"Hahaha! It seems that the Fan envoy intends to invite me to Shu, and I have no official and a light body, so I can go anywhere. "Wei Shujin doesn't shirk this Fan Shijin.
Liu Cong leaned on the edge of the window and said, "Brother Wei, if you wait with me to return to Shudi, the matter of this weapon will be settled!"
"Then I'll really go on a trip!Hahahaha!" As soon as Uncle Wei heard about the weapon, he immediately became interested.
"But who is the monarch of Langya at this time?" Xiong Jingchong could already see several families through the car window.
Wei Shujin, who was originally smiling, retracted his smile, and the expression on his face became serious again, and he said half-loudly: "This Langya monarch should not be underestimated, Langya and Beihai are under his rule, and the reason why I am going this way is because the power of these other countries cannot extend here, but this Langya King Zhuge Lin is not a person to deal with, I just hope that we can pass unharmed." ”
"Zhuge ...?This Langya is really the birthplace of the Zhuge clan, and the Zhuge clan is the king here. Bai Xiyue echoed.
Fan Shijin and Xiong Jingchong knew very little about this Zhuge Lin, and they never thought that the Zhuge clan at this time had already controlled the entire Langya and Beihai, and they could still be in a place that would not be annexed in this troubled world.
"A hundred years of Zhuge Clan, it can be regarded as a bittersweet one. Fan Shijin said unconsciously with emotion.
There are many famous families in history who have the opportunity to ascend to the throne, and the reason is that it is more likely to be recognized by the locals for the title of king, so it is easier for these century-old clans to ascend to the throne, but not all, there are exceptions, such as the leader in the peasant uprising... But the truth is the same, whether it is a farmer or something else, you need fame and influence.
This Langya also has a special landform, that is, the Daigu landform, which is characterized by the top of the mountain peak flat and wide like a plain, the cliffs around the peak are like knife cutting, and the landscape below the cliff is gradually flattening the slope.
"This mountain peak doesn't seem to be the same as other peaks..."Liu Cong stuck his head out the window, admiring the beautiful scenery on both sides.
The poet Wang Xinjian once left a poem "Daigu", and his poem was read like this. Meditation into the deep mountains, the more refreshing the mountain. Huifeng crows the ridges, and the auspicious clouds linger in the peach orchard. The secluded stream is in the morning and twilight, and there is no heat and cold in the cave. Wandering on the dragon's beard, the stone man has passed Zen. Fan Shijin closed his eyes and recited a poem affectionately.
As soon as this poem was read, there was a burst of applause outside the car window, and Wei Shujin hurriedly grabbed the reins after clapping his hands with both hands, and then said: "Brother Fan, you are really rich in five cars, the beauty of this mountain is written in this poem!"
"Brother Wei is still cheering!" Fan Shijin said with a smile.
When Liu Cong and Bai Xiyue heard this, they also clapped their hands and praised: "Learn to be rich in five cars, learn to be rich in five cars!"
"If you can do this all the way, it's still good!" Xiong Jingchong's tears almost burst out of laughter, and he looked out the window in a blink of an eye and said, "There are only a few counties that have passed, and this should be Kaiyang." ”
The people looked ahead again, and sure enough, they saw a tall city gate standing not far away. From a distance, it looks like a pavilion palace, and when the carriage walks in a little more, I see that there is a door under the pavilion hall, which is the city gate of Kaiyang, Zhanmeng Gate.
When Uncle Wei saw this city gate, his brows furrowed, and the cross-shaped wrinkles on his forehead bulged again, so he said to himself: "This city gate is not only tall, but there are also two towers on the left and right... It's really hard to take a siege..."
"We, Brother Wei's old problem, want to conquer the city when we see this city gate. Liu Cong saw this Wei Shujin and said.
Uncle Wei retracted his gaze, and then said to the people in the carriage: "So for so many years, there is a reason why Langya can be safe and sound, the city gate has been built so high, how can it be climbed, originally this Langya terrain is relatively high." ”
"It's not too early, I'll stop here for one night today!" Fan Shijin said to a few people.
In fact, the sky is still bright, but Fan Shijin wants to take a good tour of Kaiyang, after all, it is the birthplace of Wolong.
