Three Kingdoms

"Wen Zheng, come on, sit down..."

In the tent, Fei Qian was looking through some information with the remaining light in the evening. When he saw Du Yuan coming, he asked him to sit down.

However, Fei Qian felt very awkward every time he called Du Yuan's name - by the way, could the person in front of him resist being called Du Yuan?

Although Fei Qian also knows that today's literati have not yet formed the obsessive pursuit of posthumous titles in the Han Dynasty. It will be after the Tang Dynasty that literati will pay special attention to this, but for this Du Yuan's character, it is still No matter how you call it, it’s awkward.

Especially when I see Du Yuan himself, this sense of disobedience becomes even stronger. You said that you, a guy as black as an African chief, was called Wen Zheng...

Ahem...

All right.

After Fei Qian received the appointment, when he summoned the county officials, only Du Yuan came.

Du Yuan's father was originally a Congcao of Shangjun. Later, because the entire county had to relocate, he moved to Luoyang City. At the same time, the Du family was originally a small noble family in Shangjun. It was precisely because of the same reason that they lost their original land and manor, and the entire family fell into ruin. After his father suffered a serious illness, he died in depression. Before his death, he still I kept thinking about returning to my hometown...

Therefore, although Du Yuan was no longer an official affiliated with Shangjun, when he heard that the imperial court sent people to return to Shangjun, he still joined Fei Qian's ranks without hesitation.

"Ahem, Wen Zheng," Fei Qian turned over the information in his hand and said, "Can you tell me about what happened before and after the Qiao government? The documents I have here are very vague and incomplete."

"I wonder what my lord wants to ask?" Du Yuan was not as relaxed as Fei Qian, but still said in a serious manner.

The definition of monarchs and ministers in the Han Dynasty not only refers to the emperor and ministers, but also refers to teachers and disciples. It also refers to local chiefs and their subordinate officials.

Therefore, for people like Du Yuan who had defected to Fei Qian's name and were officially recruited by Fei Qian as Shangjun Congcao, it was natural for Fei Qian to be called Lord.

"Don't be so serious, just chat casually," Fei Qian tapped the table gently and expressed his doubts, "In the first year of Zhongping, Shangjun was governed by overseas Chinese, but in the fourth year of Zhongping, there were still local topography... …”

Du Yuan lowered his head and was silent for a while, then said: "...in the fourth year of Zhongping...that geographical record was reported first..."

Fei Qian also fell silent, and then said, "Sorry, Wen Zheng."

Du Yuan shook his head, adjusted himself, and then said: "In the first year of Zhongping, the left tribe of the Southern Xiongnu rebelled against the Qianren Qiang and Laojie Qiang, and plundered the Xihe, Shangjun, Shuofang, and Yanmen areas... Xia Yang was also captured After defeating the enemy, he later respected the commander-in-chief and moved the county seat to Luoyang..."

"Shang Ling" naturally refers to the emperor. Since Du Yuan calls Fei Qian his lord, of course the person above this lord refers to the emperor.

Fei Qian nodded and had some idea, because the records in the data only wrote the twelve words "In the first year of Zhongping, the Qiang and Hu plundered, and moved to Luoyang". You said that if the person involved was not found, who would know What exactly happened after these twelve words.

However, Du Yuan's words still puzzled Fei Qian.

You must know that Xia Yang is already quite close to Sanfu, and although Xijing Chang'an was not the capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was an important place in the Han Dynasty after all. How could it be so weak?

If we use it as a metaphor for later generations, it would be the feeling of being fucked by barbarians in Kyoto and then brought to the summer resort, with swords and guns almost thrust under the nose.

Fei Qian looked through the information again, and then said: "Are there no garrisons in Shangjun, Xihe, Shanyang and other places? Even if there are none, what about the three auxiliary places? Besides, whether it is the Southern Xiongnu, the pious Qiang, Lao Sister Qiang was once a traitor, so why do you rebel again and again?"

Du Yuan said: "In the first year of Zhongping, these... were basically transferred away..."

Fei Qian patted his forehead lightly. Although he had spent some time in the Han Dynasty, he was still somewhat uncomfortable with this year. You must know that this was the famous first year of Zhongping!

I really shouldn't have been able to react.

The Yellow Turban Rebellion occurred in the first year of Zhongping.

I see.

The garrison was transferred, and then the Hu people rebelled when they saw an opportunity.

So if you put it this way, the question here is a bit interesting...

However, Fei Qian didn't want to explain it. The truth here was relatively deep, and the people and things involved were more complicated. He hadn't been able to completely sort it out yet.

If we don’t talk about the past dynasties, editing history books is a huge project. Not only do we need a few big-name literary leaders to sit in charge, but we also have to mobilize many juniors to write it down bit by bit. This is because of the records of these things. Very few, and often for one reason or another, they cover up or ignore it intentionally or unintentionally. As a result, when later people need to know more, they can't find any relevant reference materials at all and can only rely on some clues. Explore slowly.

In February of the first year of Zhongping, the Yellow Turban Rebellion officially broke out. It spread across the country like fire igniting dry grass. Under such circumstances, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty mobilized soldiers guarding the border to fight with all his strength...

These are all superficial and can be easily connected to each other, but what about digging deeper?

Why did the Qiang and Hu rebel as soon as the soldiers here were transferred?

Why are the Hu people, who have obviously been around for a long time and have changed from nomadic to settled mode, still brutal?

Fei Qian suddenly asked: "Wen Zheng, is your hometown in Beiqu? Is anyone still there now?"

"Exactly, north of Beiqu and south of Dingyang." Speaking of his hometown, Du Yuan's dark face showed a trace of nostalgia, but this nostalgia quickly turned into sadness, "... There must be no one left, my Du family moved relatively late... Before that, many Doushi families had moved away..."

Fei Qian nodded. Regarding this matter, he found two pieces of data in the information sent by Cai Yong:

One is that in the second year of the Yuanshi period of Emperor Ping of the Han Dynasty, there were 103,683 households in the prefecture, 606,658 residents, and 23 counties...

In the fifth year of Yonghe reign of Emperor Shun, there were 5,169 households in Shangjun, 20,599 mouths, and only ten cities left...

Just when Fei Qian was still thinking about the problem secretly, Huang Cheng suddenly walked in, showing some embarrassment, saluted Fei Qian and Du Yuan, and said, "Fei Zhonglang, there is a question. This How to make a flag?”

"Flag? Is there any problem?" Isn't it just using the official position as a banner? What's the problem with this? Fei Qian was a little hard to understand.

Huang Cheng scratched his head and said with a naive smile: "Everything else is easy to say. It's just that there are too many flags. Let's put them all together. If you can't put them down, choose one. I don't know which one is better, so..."

Fei Qian's face suddenly darkened, and he almost spat out a mouthful of blood...

Hehe hehe... He just didn't say his official title... I'm sure... no one would guess it... Hehe hehe...
