Yichang is located southeast of Lousang, about 235 miles away from Lousang.

"(玉)Dian River is southeast, and goes west of the ancient city of Yichang County, and enters the Juma River in the south. The Juma River flows eastward to the south of the ancient city of Yichang County. The Han Dynasty granted the title of Prince Ying of Guangyang as a Hou Kingdom (in the third year of Emperor Jing, the Xiongnu surrendered the king of six times, and one of the fiefs of the land was north of Zhuozhou, and the north bank of the Yuanshui was called "Qing". The fiefs of his son "Ying" were Yichang County). Wang Mang was in order."

The south of the Daze River was all incorporated into the new land. Liu Bei was not familiar with it, so he did not take a boat to Yichang City. He landed halfway and headed south along the official road. He walked and looked.

Not long after I walked, the official road passed through an ancient city. The ancient city was named Nanguan City. According to the "Nine Domain Records", this city was built by King Wuling of Zhao. I heard that Shaojun and Hou went south, and the officials in the city all looked at it. They followed along and told the history of the ancient city.

Nanguan City is now called Nanguan Township. There is only a long street in the city, with hundreds of houses standing beside the street. There are more than 5,000 houses. It is considered a relatively large town. After walking thirty miles away, we encountered an ancient tomb on the way. I asked the nearby villagers and said it was the tomb of Gongsun Hunxie, the Marquis of Pingqu, the former Han Dynasty.

After passing through the Murata of Guzhong, you will find Pingqu City.

I asked the father-in-law in the field and learned about the origin of Pingqu City.

Gongsun Hunxie was a Hu native of Yiqu in the north and returned to the Han Dynasty during the reign of Emperor Wen. Some say that he was a descendant of the Western Rong, and some say that he was a descendant of the Xiongnu. In the third year of Emperor Jing (154 BC), Gongsun Kunxie attacked Wu and Chu with a general, assisted in suppressing the rebellion of the seven kingdoms, and was appointed as the prefect of Longxi for his merits. On the 6th year of Emperor Jing (151 BC), on the 6th year of Emperor Jing (151 BC), he was granted the title of Marquis of Pingqu and ate 3,220 households. In the fourth year of Emperor Jing (146 BC), he was dismissed from being a commoner.

"Guodizhi" says: "The ancient city of Pingqu County is seventy miles north of Wen'an County, Yingzhou." "The History of Yuan Dynasty? Geographical Records" also records that "there is a Pingqu water blockage in Yijin County, Bazhou."

Pingqu City is about 180 miles away from Lousang. Like Rongcheng, they are both former Han hou Kingdoms, and now Han has been abolished. About fifty-five miles south is Yichang's old city.

The two marquis states, Pingqu and Yichang, have a jurisdiction of hundreds of miles.

Speaking of which, the former Han Dynasty enfeoffed the princes near Linxiang, most of them were surrendered to the Hu people. I wonder if it was one of the causes of the Five Barbarians' invasion of China.

During the Han Dynasty, Pingqu City had 3,220 households. Although the Han Dynasty was abolished county, there were still more than a thousand households in the city, with a population of more than 10,000. It is considered a relatively large town. Pingqu City is surrounded by water on all sides, three miles apart. The city is intact, and the tower is still there. The residents in the city are also rosy and bright, and their lives are quite comfortable and comfortable. Liu Bei also discovered that most of the residents here are mixed-race. Those with red hair and yellow beards can be seen everywhere. They are all wearing Han fu and behave no differently from others. They are the people of our Han Dynasty.

If it weren't for the fact that this place was also his new fief. Liu Bei had a feeling of being unbearable. There was no end to the danger. He was in danger and was barren. How could this ancient city that was invincible to the world be safe?

The officials of Pingqu City also came to pay their respects to the new lord. The counties and states of the Han Dynasty were parallel and were assigned to the Linxiang rule. Moreover, the young lords and lords are well-known in the world. Who doesn’t know the northern part, and who doesn’t know it?

Who doesn’t want to follow the wise master?

The buildings in Pingqu City were very regular. There were floods at times, but they did not hurt their muscles. After all, it was a former Han Dynasty and a large town with more than 3,000 households. When building the city, it was a solid one. After leaving Pingqu City, it went south for fifty miles. Then it arrived at the destination of this trip, Yichang City.

Yichang City, fifty miles away, is a different scene. Similar to Rongcheng, it is also an endless muddy land. The crops are too sluggish. Liu Bei dismounted his horse to check, and the roots are mostly soaked in water and rotten. It is difficult to have a good harvest.

Liu Bei asked: Where does the water come from?

Then there was an official from Pingqu who came out and replied: Since the lord came from Xidian, can we know that there is Dongdian here?

Liu Bei asked back: Could it be that Xidian is digging carp?

The official replied: Yes. There is Wuping Pavilion twenty-five miles west of Yichang, which is where Dongdian is located.

"Not ninety-nine lakes." Why is there so much water here? Liu Bei gradually learned something along the way.

"Han Shu·Starring Records" records: "In May of the first year of Chuyuan (48 BC), the Bohai water overflowed." "Han Shu·Gou Fu Zhi" also says: "The sky once rained continuously, the northeast winds, the sea water overflowed, and it came out of the southwest, soaked for hundreds of miles, and the land of the nine rivers has gradually become the sea."

The land of Jiuhe refers to this area of ​​land.

It turned out that from the end of the Western Han Dynasty to the beginning of the Eastern Han Dynasty, sea invasions occurred on the west bank of the Bohai Bay. The sea water rose by one meter. The sea surface was rising, the river water was not discharged smoothly, and it formed a lake and swamp. After the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Hutuo River, the Li River, the Qing River, the Zhi River, and the Gu River all passed through the nearby Wadian and diverted into the sea. At this time, the Haihe River system had not yet formed. So the Dian District became a place where major rivers gathered. The rivers silt and the water accumulated became a lake.

In recent years, it has been flooding for nine out of ten years.

Dongdian is located in the lower reaches of Ji River and is formed by flooding Ji River, so it is also called "overflowing pool". The water from Xidian digs out the water from Ji River and other waters, flows out through Dongdian, and converges with Zhangshui, Wushui, Yushui, and Hutuo River, and enters the Bohai Sea.

No wonder.

If there is Xidian, there must be Dongdian. This vast depression has many rivers. It is known as the "Nine Rivers Land".

Only those who are good at controlling water must have the power to turn the world back.

If we talk about water control, there were two people in this dynasty, so we have to mention it.

Wang Jing, Wang Wu.

The "水水水水" was ordered to repair the qi canal. The "水水水" was adopted to manage the channels so that the water of the Yellow River would no longer cause harm.

It is said that since Emperor Ping of the Western Han Dynasty, it has accumulated more than 50 years. The water conservancy of the Dahe and Bian Rivers has been disrepair for many years, floods have raging, and the people have complained. In April of the 12th year of Yongping (69), Emperor Ming sent Wang Jing to manage the Bian Canal, mobilizing hundreds of thousands of soldiers, from Xingyang to Qianchenghaikou, for more than a thousand miles, to build canals and embankments. The following summer, the construction was completed. A total of more than 10 billion yuan was spent. Since then, the Dahe and Bian River have diverted the rivers and the rivers do not invade Bian, which facilitated the transportation of the canals. Wang Jing was famous and was promoted to the Censor for his merits. In the 15th year of Yongping (72), he was enthroned by the river dike and was in charge of the affairs of the river dike. In the seventh year of Jianchu (82 AD), he was transferred to the governor of Xuzhou. The following year, he was moved to the prefect of Lujiang and later died in office.

Since Wang Jing and Wang Wu governed the river, there has not been a major flood in the past thousand years since the Great River. Later generations compared Wang Jing's achievements with Dayu's control of floods in ancient times. There is a saying that Wang Jing had no trouble in the control of the river for thousands of years. This shows how great his achievements are.

Although later dynasties also used large rivers to control water, no one could surpass them.

At that time, the water was small, but it was large. Let's not talk about it for now. Why did the future generations not be as good as the previous dynasty? It depends on one's opinion.

There are Wang Jing, Wang Wu, and Zhuyu in front of you. Nowadays, books about the two of you who are controlling water can be seen everywhere. Just collect them and study them carefully. What is the point of mentioning these floods under Linxiang?

Even in Yichang City, there are also "those who can regulate water".

Liu Bei visited him. After asking, he found out that his ancestors had participated in the water control of the river!

This is why he is appointed as a "river embankment pedestrian" with a high salary to control floods in the Dian District. Pedestrians, officials of the Marquis' Office, and host and guest.

This person's name is Bian Ji, and his courtesy name is Yuan Gang. He is not only proficient in many chapters of water control by his ancestor Wang Jing, but also has a lot of experience in his work "Dayan Xuanji".

It turned out that Wang Jing's ancestor lived in a county in Langya County. His eighth-generation ancestor Wang Zhong was very fond of Taoism and was well-known for his good view of astronomy. Influenced by his family, Wang Jing began to practice the Book of Changes when he was young, read a lot of books, especially like astronomy and mathematics. He was proficient in divination, Feng Shui, and also wrote a monograph "Dayan Xuanji".

It is rumored that Wang Jing had to do things first, and he had to do things and do things first, to divine divination (using yarrow and tortoise shells). Even if he went out, he had to ask about good or bad luck. If he was superstitious, he could still cure the river for thousands of years without any trouble. Where could he make sense?

Alas, it's such a strange person.
