Chapter 66 Passing the Beginning and Entering Qin, a long drought welcomes the rain
White flags covered the mountains and fields, obscuring the clouds and the sun, and loud snare drums on all sides, deafening and deafening. The net worth and life of so many people are in their own hands, which is not only a responsibility, but also an obligation, and there must be no carelessness. Although Lin Yi was the first time to take command in the real sense, fortunately, he was assisted by countless civil ministers and military generals. There are veterans like Xie Department and Zhou who are good at dealing with Xirong all the year round, there are loyal and fierce generals like Sima Ya and Xu Chao, and there are strategists like Jiang Tong.
According to Zou Yan's Five Virtues, the Eastern Han Dynasty was the king of Huode, the Han Dynasty was in decline, and Cao Wei, who was the one who rose on behalf of the Han Dynasty, was Tude, so the national flag was yellow. Cao Wei was the king of Tude, and Sima Jin acted as Jin on behalf of Wei, so the national flag was white. From the teachings of Najiang Tong, Lin Yi knew these allusions to the Tao of Lu. Therefore, Lin Yi complied with the Great Jin Jinde, and named his elite cavalry as Silver Armor Cavalry, uniformly wearing silver armor and a white cloak.
Lin Yi originally wanted to build a cavalry like the white horse general Gongsun Zan during the Three Kingdoms period, "where righteousness goes, life and death go hand in hand! The sky can be learned, and the white horse is the proof!", but unfortunately most of the horses in the Great Jin Dynasty are controlled by Rong Di, and the white horse is very difficult to find, so it can only be filled with jujube red horses. However, Lin Yi firmly believes that so many white horses will be collected sooner or later. At that time, the Hu people were so afraid of Gongsun Zhan's white horse righteous servant, Lin Yi also hoped that one day, when the Hu people heard the name of the silver armor horse, all they could do was to flee for their lives!
"This has passed Shiping County, and the front is not the border of the Qin Kingdom!" Lin Yi pulled the horse Xu Xing and asked the Xie Dao beside him. The jade lion under Lin Yi was originally offered by the Western Regions, and it was the best among the white horses, but if it entered the enemy formation, it was too eye-catching, and it could only be replaced by an ordinary jujube red horse.
"Exactly! Haochou County is less than a hundred miles away from now, and the nest of Qi Wannian is near Liangshan in the northwest of Haochou County!" Xie replied, paused and said: "In the second year of Taishi (266), the first emperor divided the five counties of Huaili County, Shiping County, Wugong County, Ju County, and Kuaicheng County of Fufeng County and placed them in Shiping County, and in the early years of Emperor Hui, he changed Fufeng County to Qin State and sealed the country for the King of Qin!"
The administrative division of the Western Jin Dynasty continued to inherit the three-level system of state, county and county established in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. Although Emperor Wu had re-divided the prefectures and counties of Tianxia, he basically retained the state system of the Three Kingdoms. The solution is the history of Yongzhou Thorn, and it is a treasure for all the counties and counties in the state.
Although Lin Yi came here for the first time, he was also very unfamiliar with the land of Guanzhong, but he knew this King of Qin very well, and he was Sima Shu's own uncle, Sima Xin's maternal brother, who died only five years ago. Emperor Wu and Empress Yang had three sons, the eldest son died young, so Sima Zhen, who was originally the second, became the eldest, and the third son was Sima Khan, the king of Qin. His person Shen Min is knowledgeable and favored by Emperor Wu, at the beginning, Sima Zhen was not high in IQ, Emperor Wu originally wanted to set up Sima Cambodia, the king of Qin, as the crown prince, but Yang Yan did not agree, and he couldn't do it. I really don't understand why the same mother is so eccentric. So Sima Cambodia was tragic, he thought that he should be the crown prince, and everyone expected it, but unfortunately it was not what people wanted, and the last queen and his uncle Sima You, the king of Qi, ended up the same, and suffocated to death in the capital.
Sima Zhen had only been on the throne for a year, and the king of Qin had already died, and he had just turned thirty years old when he died. This emperor's family really has no family affection, it is also Guanzhong, Feng Yi and Jingzhao Erjun are much richer than Fufeng, but Emperor Hui chose Fufeng as the king of Qin to seal the country, and even Sima Cambodia died of illness can't be explained, which is only afraid that Empress Jia will have a lot of tricks in it.
"The soldiers are fast, speed up again, and strive to rush to Haochou County before dark!" Lin Yi ordered again.
The clear sky suddenly turned into a big black curtain, covering the entire sky, and even the brightest sun disappeared without a trace, and the clouds in the sky became lower and lower. There was also a strong wind blowing in the sky, blowing the branches of the trees, and the white flag of the Great Jin Dynasty, which could not be seen at a glance, roared in the wind, making a whirring sound. Suddenly, a series of thumb-thick lightning bolts stretched out from the thick dark clouds, and the sky was suddenly brightened, and then a loud noise was heard, mixed with the sound of snare drums, horses' hooves, and the roar of soldiers, mixed together, as wild as a nightclub dance.
"It's finally going to rain!" Lin Yi roared. As soon as the words fell, the raindrops were already pouring down like beans. Ever since he got rid of the drought, he had been impatient for that day.
"God bless me Dajin!" Zhou couldn't help but roar angrily, and there was water on his face from time to time, I don't know if it was tears or rain! This way from east to west, every step he took, he was heartbroken one step, everywhere like bitter herbs hungry people, the more he went west, even the weeds and leaves on the side of the road had been eaten clean, and the water of the Wei River had already bottomed out. Although he is a native of Wu in the south of the Yangtze River, he has been an official in Yongzhou and Liangzhou for many years, and often deals with Qiang, Di and others, and has deep feelings for this place. Xinping County, where he served as Taishou, is in the north of this Fufeng County, which is only a hundred miles away. This Guanzhong Plain was once rich and rich, and it was the largest granary in the country, and I couldn't imagine that in the future, I would be starving all over the ground, and the bones would be all over the ground, and it would become like hell on earth. It's all due to drought and pestilence!
It was really a timely rain! Those northwestern men in the army had not seen raindrops in their hometowns for half a year, and when they saw this heavy rain, they couldn't help but burst into tears!
"In another half a year, as long as there is a harvest of crops this season, the people of Yongzhou will no longer have to worry about hunger!" Xie also shouted excitedly.
"Although the rebels of Qi Wannian are large, they are all caused by hunger in the famine year, as long as the wind and rain are good this year, these rebel armies will surrender without a fight!" Jiang Tong also said excitedly.
A moment later, in the procession like a long dragon, the herald flag danced everywhere, mixed with a deafening military order: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the general of Zhengxi, and the governor of Yongliang have an order, the whole army will stop advancing, camp on the high ground in place, rest for one night, and set off again tomorrow!"
......
"Your Highness, if this rain keeps pouring like this, I'm afraid that it will be even more difficult to start tomorrow morning on the mountain road!"
"The heavier the rain, the better, Your Highness can't wait for this, I'm afraid that those chaotic parties will have no mind to make trouble now, just waiting for Tianqing to go home and continue farming!" Ge Hong still couldn't change his fast-talking character. Lin Yi didn't want to take Wei Jue on the expedition, but he had to take Ge Hong with him, and Ge Hong and Wei Jue had already become inseparable good friends. Besides, there was only one peer in the army, Wei Jue, and Ge Hong was too boring alone, so he couldn't withstand the repeated requests of these two people, so he took these two teenagers with him.
"You two children don't hurry up and go to bed! I'm afraid that there will be a fierce battle tomorrow, and tomorrow morning I will prepare to sneak attack Qi Wannian's lair in Liangshan with light horses, and I can't take measures to beat him!" Lin Yi scolded Wei Jue and Ge Hong.
Suddenly, Lin Yi felt that the sound of the raindrops was mixed with a shallow whistling, and the commander's camp and the surrounding several large camps were suddenly pitch black!
"Oh no! there are assassins!" Lin Yi clenched the dragon scales in his hand tightly, and at the same time pushed Ge Hong and Wei Yu to the ground.
