When he was a teenager, Lou Sang was just a village where the same clan gathered. Nowadays, he wrote "village". "It is a customary village today."

The "tun" in later generations may have originated from the word "cun".

As the saying goes, "Everything is difficult to start". When Liu Bei built and expanded Lousang Village, he had to do everything himself. Remember to renovate the old house, and he was short of money and used the remaining Han bricks from other families to build the tombs to cover the front yard. After the bricks were laid, the craftsman saw a large flat brick surface, and his hands were itchy and carved a two-dragon playing with the pearl.

The same is true for copper nails on the door. The reason is that Sandun flipped through and picked up many old bronze objects that his ancestors did not use. By accident, too many door nails were cast.

Craftsmen are also honest people. Then... let's nail them. Later, the thief entered the village, but they couldn't cut their swords and could not burn them. It was because the door nails were dense.

All the conveniences in Liu Bei's ancestral home were promoted. First, there was Lousang Village, then Lousangyi, then Licheng, Du Kang, Linxiangcheng... and six counties were the country, and then increased to eleven counties. As far as the Western Regions and Longyou all originated from Liu Bei's ancestral home.

While maintaining the inheritance of craftsmanship, craftsmen also adapt to local conditions and make innovations. Whether it is the hanging building created in combination with the Longyou board houses or the royal city built for the Western Regions, they are all full of distinct regional characteristics.

There are many thick walls and thick wood in the Western Regions, and they like red wall murals. They are all for warmth. Thick walls can keep warm, and red walls are also warm. The mountains at Longyou are stretched and the terrain is undulating. In order to balance residential and cultivated land, the hanging buildings on the plank roads came into being.

As for whether the tops of the two sides are steep or gentle, it is also closely connected to the local climate. The steeper the slope, the faster the water flows, and it is less likely to accumulate snow. The flatter the top of the slope, the more conducive it is to keep the lighting and keep warm. It is also easy to pickle and dry.

After all, it is true that man and nature are united, and everything is useful.

After the Yellow Turban chaos, thieves arose. Compared with the Yellow Turban chaos that swept across the Central Plains like a volcano eruption, the remaining thieves who vented most of their strength and hatred were no longer the momentum. They were half dead and survived. They hid in the deep mountains and forests, survived the cold winter and heat. After they accumulated enough strength, they went out to the mountain to plunder. Before the officers and soldiers arrived, they scattered and disappeared into the old village.

The thieves who have lost the support of righteousness have deteriorated into bandits who "everyone calls for a fight". It is hard to call justice.

After the blood-battered black mountain bandits in Ji State, nine out of thirty-nine commanders were killed by Huang Zhong alone. It was a catastrophe. The entire organization was almost destroyed. Fortunately, Zhang Yan and others survived and escaped into Luchang Mountain and Cangyan Valley in Chaoge County.

Luchang Mountain is because of the continuous mountain and the mountain road is rugged and difficult to move. It is also called Luchang Mountain. Rumor has it that Yu Du was the Chaoge people. When the Yellow Turbans were in charge, they led people to station in the western mountainous area of ​​Chaoge, from Qingyan Mountain on the north bank of Cangshui (Yunmeng Mountain) to Qingyan Wall on the south bank of Qishui (Qingyan Jue), 50 miles north and south, and built Yingbao beacon towers. They all had Heishan soldiers and horses.

Nowadays, the founded Heishan Camp stands in Cangyan Valley and on Wohuling. The camp faces cliffs on three sides, and only the valley entrance can reach the mountain village. After Zhang Yan and other thieves settled in, they set up village walls on the ridge, which is quite like "one man is at the pass, ten thousand men cannot open."

The famous minister Yu Xu once said: "The Chaoge is from Han and Wei, who are on the back of Taihang, facing the Yellow River, and go to Aocang for a hundred miles, while the Qing and Ji people are exiled. The thieves do not know how to open the warehouse and recruit people, rob the treasury soldiers, guard the city and Gao, and cut off the right arm of the world. This is not enough to worry."

In other words, Chaoge is a strategic location. It is backed by Taihang, facing the river in the east, and is only a hundred miles away from Ao Cang, one of the important granaries of the empire. It can be "breaking the right arm of the world". Because of its important location, it is also facing Ao Cang, Hebei and Henan, and many victims of Chaoge gather to eat. Throughout history, bandits have been entrenched and have been repeatedly banned.

Yu Xu also said: "Military art: if the weak do not attack the strong, if the walk does not drive away, it will be natural."

The new governor of Jizhou and the king of the Eight Chefs reported to the court on the grounds of destroying Heishan, and recruited volunteers. He also asked General He Jun to dispatch General Cao Cao, the general of the light chariot, to return to the Liyang camp to jointly suppress the bandits.

The Liyang Camp followed Cao Cao to fight south and north, and made many meritorious contributions. The number of soldiers in the camp also increased to more than 5,000. Apart from the troops of the headquarters, the Li family father and son, Le Jin and Zhu Ling's troops were all incorporated into the Liyang Camp.

Everyone is following you when you go in and out. Meng De no longer needs to be worried at all times and cannot sleep at night. If there is any movement, he draws his sword and asks.

However, the number of soldiers in the camp was limited. The empire did not raise any remaining people. There were two thousand soldiers and horses in the camp, and Cao Cao needed to support him. The salary was obviously not enough. Fortunately, enough food and salary were collected from Ji State. In addition, it was collected from relatives and friends, which was barely supported.

The chaotic times are about to begin. The importance of holding troops and horses is self-evident. Cao Cao has always had great ambitions and has great vision. How could he give in to his strong soldiers under his command?

However, "if you don't know that the firewood and rice are expensive if you don't take charge of your family, you will know that the firewood and rice are expensive." Now you have established more than 5,000 people in the camp, eating, drinking, defecating, and sleeping, and you will realize that the difficulties are.

It is said that "raising troops for a thousand days, using troops for a while." One thousand days of use shows the difficulty of supporting troops. The current cost is huge. No wonder the Ji Wang family has a great cause, but it is only tens of thousands of soldiers. It is really too expensive.

"Reported that the governor of Jizhou sent people to send 500 good horses, 1,000 sets of soldiers and armor, and 100,000 stones of food and fodder."

"Oh?" Cao Cao was overjoyed: "Where is the messenger?"

“It’s at the camp gate.”

"Please come in quickly." Before he finished speaking, Cao Cao said again: "Wait! I'll welcome you with you in my jealous manner."

Cao Cao then led Le Jin, Zhu Ling and other confidants to come out of the big tent. He saw a man standing in front of him with a tall robe and a tall crown, with his back on his back. His figure was quite familiar.

When he approached, the man turned around and saluted: "Are Meng De safe?"

Cao Cao realized it and couldn't help but feel overjoyed and walked forward: "It's Brother Ziyuan!"

"Xu You, Nanyang, I have seen you all." His hands were caught by Cao Cao, so Xu You had to nod and salute. Xu You's courtesy name was Ziyuan, and was from Nanyang. He was a kid and had a good relationship with Yuan Shao and Cao Cao when he was young.

Seeing that it was Cao Cao's old friend, the schools did not dare to neglect them, so they stopped to salute.

Join hands to enter the account and the host and the guest sit down.

Xu You smiled and said, "My foolish brother is not talented, he has been denied a separate master by the king's envoy."

"So that's it." Cao Cao held his fists and thanked him: "Thank you for your kindness to help you."

"Everyone serves the country, share the worries of the king, and make the rule of the people. Why should Meng De be too polite?" Xu You replied to the gift: "We still need the help of Meng De to wipe out the remaining bandits in Heishan."

"The right is unavoidable." Cao Cao's eyes flashed with a sharp light: "The eight paths of Taihang in Black Mountain have been entrenched in four paths by Huang Zhong, the general of Ji State, and the enemy was wiped out. The big and small bandits were killed and beheaded. The momentum was not as good as before, and this battle was easy."

Xu You smiled and said, "The King of Ji is a enemy of Huang Zhong. It is rumored that King of Ji has submitted a letter to ask for his merits. He is the 'General of the Guardian' and is granted the title of Marquis of Guannei. He is worthy of the nine ministers and receives two thousand stones of salary."

The guardian was in charge of the imperial guards, the chief of the military officers, and the generals were controlled. Qin established the guardian commander, and the Han Dynasty followed this position, so Prime Minister Chen served as the post and protected all the generals. During the reign of Emperor Wu, he was the Grand Sima. Those with high capital were the generals of the guardians, and those with low capital were the Central Guardians.

Cao Cao grinned his teeth and said, "'Double Eat King's Salary' is enviable. Xuande has always been generous, and nothing unexpected happens." Two thousand stones were doubled, and the Ji Kingdom had 1.296,000 coins. It can be exchanged for Wuzhu of the Han Dynasty, 6.48 million coins. With the two gifts of Chunla, it has exceeded 10 million.

No wonder Cao Cao, who was born in a family of officials, was envious.

When he peeked at Cao Cao's expression, Xu You said with a deep meaning: "The Ji Kingdom is rising like the sun, but now the Han River is falling. One is growing and the other is gone, and the people in the world change their minds."

"How do you know it?" Cao Cao asked with a smile.

"Brother I am also heard from you." Xu You smiled.

"Brother Ziyuan, why don't you say it clearly?" Cao Cao asked.

"Pingyuan Gaoshi Xiang Kai." Xu You asked with a smile: "Does Meng De know?"

Cao Cao replied: "Donald Xiang likes to study and be proficient in ancient times, is good at astronomy, and is a famous alchemist. How could Cao not know it?"
