Chapter 433 I haven’t drank either
Jianwei County belongs to the Jincheng Plain and is already considered the core area of the Han Dynasty.
Yuejun County borders Jianwei County, which means it borders the core area of the Han Dynasty. However, Gaoding has been rebelling in Yuejun County for nearly ten years, not just two years like Zangke County of Yizhou County.
At that time, the late emperor had just settled in Shu, and the Han army was at its peak, but he could only watch Gaoding's advance in Yuejun without stopping.
Moreover, after the Nanzhong Rebellion broke out, Gaoding was also the strongest among the Nanzhong rebels.
There must be a reason for these.
Wuchi Road and Nanyi Road connect the three counties of Nanzhong, and Yongchang County at least has waterways leading to Yizhou County.
The only one left is Yuejun County, which is one of the places most isolated from the Han Dynasty among the counties in Nanzhong.
To the west of it is the Hengduan Mountains. Yuejun County is located in the remnants of the Hengduan Mountains. Not only is it high in altitude, but most of the area is not only mountains, but there are no decent roads to travel on.
What’s even more strange is that there is a long and narrow plain surrounded by mountains.
Except for the different shape of the plain, this is simply a smaller version of the Sichuan-Sichuan Basin!
It is extremely difficult for people from outside to come in.
The people inside can go out and harass them from time to time.
There are high mountains on both sides of this plain, so the plain is not very wide. The widest is only about ten miles, and the narrowest is only three or four miles, but the length is very long, stretching for hundreds of miles.
From what Feng Yong can understand so far, the total area of this plain should be very large, and it can be regarded as the second largest plain in Shu.
This plain has a pleasant climate and fertile land, making it an excellent grain-producing land.
As long as Gaoding used the mountains to the north of the plain to block the Han army, the plain behind could provide him with a steady stream of food.
The Yi people were really at home in that environment. If they couldn't be beaten, they could hide in the mountains. As long as they could adapt to the plateau climate, they could even climb directly to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
For the Han army, the mountains of Yuejun County were a place where even logistics could not be guaranteed.
That's why Zhuge Lao Yao painstakingly asked Gaoding to gather all the rebels and annihilate them in one fell swoop.
Moreover, even if Gaoding was pacified and Han officials entered the plains of Yuejun County, it would be difficult for them to gain a foothold there.
The reason lies in this plain.
This plain is too narrow. As long as the Yi people rush down from the mountains on both sides, they can form a subduction and encirclement trend. For the Han people, the narrow plain where they stay is a place waiting to die.
So for the Han people, this was an extremely difficult place to govern, but for the Yi people, this was a place of life that was created for them.
If the Yi people occupy it, they can increase their strength. If the Han people occupy it, they will have to worry day and night about the mountains on both sides suddenly rushing down the barbarian rebels.
When monsters like the militia were making the most serious noise, not everyone had been to Yuejun County, but compared to other places, the militia that entered there suffered the heaviest casualties.
It is not uncommon for an entire team to be surrounded and killed.
The chaos among the Yi people in Yuejun County has reached this point, so it is not surprising that Li Qiucheng appeared just after Gao Ding died.
Although it sounds like the scale is not comparable to that of Gaoding, even the prefect of Yuejun County can be killed, so the scale of the rebellion is extraordinary.
Tanglang County and Yuejun County are only separated by Tanglang Mountain. It is not a natural danger. It is really easy for those rebels to come over.
“The more uneven the situation is, the more difficult it will be for Tanglang to live in the west. That table allocating the cultivated land in the west to us, doesn’t it mean that we have to work for him in vain?”
Zhao Guang said again, "It's really unreasonable! This is what his county magistrate should do to appease the people. He doesn't do it, but he tricks us into doing it. Why do we care what he does? Brother, let's just leave."
“Erlang, what are you in a hurry for?”
On the contrary, Huang Ji, who was sitting next to him and munching on dry food, said, "Looking at the table, for this matter, my attitude towards my brother is considered humble. I think this matter must be important to him."
"So he should be the one who is anxious at this time, not us. When he can't bear it any longer, he will come back to ask for his brother again. Wouldn't it be better if we make the request again then?"
"Otherwise, if we leave like this and ignore the chaos in Tanglang County, it will not be beautiful if it reaches the ears of the prime minister."
After hearing this, Feng Yong glanced at Huang Ji, who opened her mouth to eat solid food again, and thought that this woman was quite knowledgeable.
With her knowledge, her wealth, and her match with Zhao Guang, it’s hard to say who succeeded whom.
At the end of August in the third year of Jianxing of the Han Dynasty, the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty captured Meng Huo three more times. In total, it was the sixth time.
During this period, we also encountered Yaquan.
Fortunately, Yang Wanwan sent over by Feng Yong reminded the prime minister: If you encounter spring water that is quite sweet when you drink it, you must not touch it again, otherwise your life will be in danger.
Then he said that if someone accidentally drinks this spring water, he can ask the natives quickly. There should be a detoxification spring nearby - but the detoxification spring can only be drunk by poisoned people, and ordinary people cannot touch it.
Zhuge Liang was dubious after hearing this, but he led the army all the way and knew that the miasma would become more serious as he went south, so he also sent an order to let the sergeants pay attention.
Therefore, not many people were poisoned in this dumb spring incident. Even if someone drank it, they quickly found the detoxification spring, which the natives called Anle Spring.
In addition, Feng Yong cured Guan Xing's malaria, which made Zhuge Liang secretly frightened. Isn't this son's master in the north? How did he know about such remote places in the south? Could it be that this disciple's sect is so powerful? !
After thinking about it, Zhuge Liang sent someone to explain the war in detail. Finally, he asked Feng Yong if there was any way to stop the rebellion of the barbarian kings and commanders in the south.
“I really encountered Yaquan.”
Feng Yong took the official document sent by Zhuge Liang and sighed with emotion. Then he picked up the bowl and wanted to drink water, but found that the bowl was empty.
Looking at Amei who was a little distracted, Feng Yongyong knocked on the bowl with dissatisfaction and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Amei came back to her senses when she heard Feng Yong's question. When she saw the empty bowl, she looked a little panicked and said hurriedly, "I'm sorry, my lord, my maid was distracted."
Speaking, he quickly poured water for Feng Yong.
“I found that something has been wrong with you since you arrived in Zhuti. What’s going on?”
Feng Yong did not go to get a bowl to drink water, but frowned and asked.
Amei glanced at the official document in Feng Yong's hand and said, "Servant... I heard the master talking about Yaquan, so I thought of my master and my mother."
“What is the relationship between Yaquan and your lord’s mother?”
Feng Yong felt really strange this time.
“When I was a child, my mother took me to see a dumb spring, so when I heard about the dumb spring, I remembered it.”
Amei lowered her head and said.
“Oh, I almost forgot. I promised you before that you would go and see your master and grandma.”
Other than always looking inferior in front of Feng Yong, no one would dare to look down on this girl if she was let out.
He is now a well-known mathematician!
Now when Feng Yong goes out, as long as he takes her with him, he will leave everything to her if he encounters arithmetic matters.
While in Wei County, the beans from the Xinghan Hui and the grain and grass sent from Jincheng were to be transported to the southern expedition army. The tasks are heavy and the time is tight, so I often have to rush.
But the fact is that the beans are often calculated long ago, while the food and grass for the army still have to be calculated slowly.
Once Feng Yong was really impatient with waiting, so he took Amei directly to the grain and grass officer, pointed at Amei and said: You say, she will do the calculation!
That time, if Feng Yong's status was not much higher than that of the grain and grass officer, the grain and grass officer almost killed the bumpkin with a knife - there is no such thing as looking down on others!
However, the following facts shattered the grain and grass officer's three views.
Amei's fluent oral arithmetic was not only amazed by the grain and grass officers in the army, but also Wang Ping was alarmed and made a special trip to watch the excitement.
After the grain and grass officer distributed the grain and grass, he had to recalculate the calculation. The original calculation amount of three days was compressed into two hours by Amei.
Later on, every time the grain officer allocated and transported grain, he would respectfully ask Feng Langjun to help with calculations—everyone knew that he was actually asking Amei to help.
So the rumor that the maids around Feng Langjun were all mathematicians spread like wildfire in Wei County.
Who dares to say that such a woman is a court lady?
In addition, after using it for so long, the skin has become whiter and tenderer, which further highlights the beauty of the face.
She is literate, good at arithmetic, beautiful in appearance, and speaks fluent Chinese. In addition, she always has a well-behaved look with low eyebrows in front of him, so Feng Yong often subconsciously regards her as a Han girl.
Now that she mentioned it, Feng Yong remembered that her parents were buried in Nanzhong.
“Let’s find some time and let you go and see your master and grandma. By the way, where are your master and grandma buried?”
This girl has a very low sense of existence. Apart from teaching her to study, Feng Yong didn't ask much about her past.
Firstly, I am afraid of causing her sadness, and secondly, she is her own person, and it is enough to know that she can only make arrangements for herself in the future.
“Return to the Lord, that is…in Tanglang County.”
“Huh? Such a coincidence?”
Feng Yong was a little surprised, but relieved.
The Amei people are originally skilled workers, and they are the kind of skilled workers who learned farming from the Han people.
Nanzhong also belongs to Zhuti County, where the Yi people have the highest degree of Chineseization. In addition, here you can follow the Wuchi Road directly to the Jincheng Plain.
More importantly, Tanglang County was occupied by Yong Kai, so it was the most probable thing for Amei to leave from there.
However, he remembered something that Amei said just now, and his expression immediately became solemn, "You just said that you saw Yaquan in Tanglang County?"
"Yes. It was my mother who took her maid there."
Hearing this, Feng Yong stood up in excitement, stared at Amei and asked, "Are you sure that's the dumb spring? When you drink the water from the dumb spring, you will feel quite sweet, but after drinking it, you will lose your voice. , even lost his life.”
When Amei heard this, a look of guilt appeared on her face again, "I'm sorry, Master, but I haven't drunk it before, and I don't know if the spring water is sweet..."
Feng Yong:…
