Zhuolu is a very ancient place name. The county name is derived from the city name, and the city name is derived from the mountain name. The mountain name is named "Bamboo" based on the plant "bamboo" at the foot of the mountain and the animal "deer".

Later, according to the sound of "Bamboo Deer", it was recorded separately with Zhuolu, Dulu, Tuilu, Dulu, Dulu and other names.

It is said that the Beihai frozen at the end of the Shang Dynasty and the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, so the whole world was very cold.

After the weather gradually became colder, bamboo, a plant that likes dampness and heat, disappeared from this area. After Zhulu Mountain had no "bamboo" and the name of the mountain and the city were recorded for a period of time. After the Spring and Autumn Period, it gradually became unified with the word "Zhulu".

"Zhulu Mountain" became Zhuolu Mountain, "Zhulu City" became "Zhulu City", and "Zhulu Water" was naturally written as "Zhuo Water".

As for the word "Zhuo", it should be said that the sound of hitting the tile drum is similar to the sound of dripping under the flowing water, and then "the sound of dripping under the flowing water is also dripping under the water. From the water, the sound of Zhuo."

In order to catch deer, the ancient hunters had to send one person to ambush with bows and arrows, while the other person knocked on the instruments in the opposite place in the distance, making a sound, causing the deer to be frightened and ran towards the hunter's ambush, and finally caught by the hunter.

It is really rare to have a deer with good skin and flesh. Whoever wins his deer will become a hero. Later, "Zhuolu" has its meaning of extension - a place where the princes compete for the world.

When Li Chang was still studying, he admired people like Ban Chao very much. Whenever he read Ban Dingyuan's biography, he was often excited and could not calm down for a long time. He was beaten up by his mother a few times. Considering his cowardly nature, he gave up the lofty idea of ​​preparing to surrender to the Western Regions alone.

Since he fought with Yun Zheng for almost ten years, he felt that he was much more courageous. In Qingtang, a donkey, a book, and an old servant persuaded the six divisions of Yuanzhai to accept the title and worship, and thus ended the history of the Song Dynasty without strong cavalry.

With this achievement, even though Li Chang was not popular in the court, others had to maintain enough respect for him.

Since the Northern Expedition began, he was just a prefect of Tangzhou. Tangzhou should have been Tang County. After Yun Zheng annihilated the fierce Yelu Huata headquarters here, the Song Dynasty court promoted this small county with less than 20,000 people to a prefecture in order to appease the severely affected Tang County, and exempted Tangzhou from taxes for ten years.

Li Chang was demoted to Tangzhou as a prefect of the Huangmen Minister, and his status was naturally very different. However, this phenomenon was not uncommon in the Song Dynasty. It was common for important officials in the court to offend the emperor or the prime minister to serve in the prefecture because of something.

Even Pang Ji, Han Qi, Ouyang Xiu, Di Qing, and Yun Zheng did not go through this path? Therefore, Li Chang did not feel much disappointed in his offense to offend Wang Anshi and be criticized by the emperor as the prefect.

On the contrary, he asked himself to come to Tangzhou, and even went through some ways to obtain this position.

The only magistrate of Tangzhou, with only 20,000 people under his jurisdiction, can he trap Li Chang who is determined to do big things?

So he left an aide to deal with Tangzhou's official duties. After he went to Yanmen Pass and discussed with Yun Zheng, he wanted to leave the robbers in Taihang Mountain and disappeared from then on.

A long time ago, Li Chang knew that Yun Zheng had a big plan. The full name of this plan was the "Guixin Plan". The real implementer was the Kong family in Qufu and the Yan family who lived together in Qufu. These two families used their position in the literary world to recruit disciples and give lectures in Yanzhou, preparing to let the people here regain their yearning for the Han race. It has been ten years since then.

After the Northern Expedition of the Song Dynasty began, the Kong family and Yan family withdrew a large number of disciples, and at the same time, many disciples with martial arts insisted on giving lectures in the north.

From the beginning, their goal of teaching was to abandon the children of wealthy families and come to study.

The purpose of this is actually to create an opposing concept, rather than simply implementing educational plans that are not distinctive to the world.

According to Yun Zheng's plan, all the northern owners are the targets they are going to attack, because these people are beneficiaries under the rule of the Liao people. From the day they were born, they naturally moved closer to their own class, that is, they automatically became loyal to the Liao emperor!

After occupying the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, what the Song Dynasty needed was a peaceful and peaceful land, rather than a border area full of smoke. Therefore, everything Yun Zheng did in Yunnei Prefecture was so cruel and ruthless, wherever the army went, it was barren land thousands of miles away...

Yanzhou has been a place full of powerful people since ancient times. The Liao emperors ruled this land on the surface, but the powerful people who truly ruled every village were some local powers. Do they either use clan surnames as a bond, or cross villages and villages in the form of alliances to protect themselves. Their alliance form is much stricter than the rule of the government, so their combat power is particularly powerful.

At the earliest, the Liao people were the Han people from Nanjing Dao who were slaves. Later, they were very upset in the face of one after another rebellion, so they handed over the management of Nanjing Dao to the Han people themselves. The Liao people were only responsible for collecting taxes, and thus all rebellions were quelled.

The first stop chosen by Li Chang was Zhuolu County. This place has been a must-fight for military strategists since ancient times. It borders Fengshengzhou in the north, faces Xuanzhou in the northwest, borders Weizhou in the southwest, borders Laizhou in the southeast, and is only three hundred miles away from Nanjing Xijin Prefecture in Xijin in the east.

The two sides of the southwest are surrounded by mountains, including Lishan, Qiaoshan, Zhuolu Mountain, and Aanshan, which embrace Zhuolu County. It is the first strategic location of Fengshengzhou.

At this time, the grass was already fertile at the foot of Zhuolu Mountain, and the grass and trees were flourishing on the mountain, and the seedlings in the fields below the mountain had grown more than half a foot long.

Under the shade of the mountains and forests, there is a large wooden building. The wooden building looks simple, but the farmers walking tiptoed. If any scalpers from a family shouted twice, they would be whipped by their masters. Here, only the loud sound of reading is the lead voice.

A middle-aged scholar in his thirties walked out of the wooden building with his hands behind his back, and then a large group of children followed behind his husband and respectfully came out of the wooden building.

Compared with those runny noses outside, the biggest feature of these children is that they are clean. Although the clothes on their bodies are considered new, regardless of whether there are patches or not, the only similarity is that they are washed very clean.

An old man holding a cow, when he saw his husband come out, he respectfully said: "Mr. Kong, the little old man went to the field today, got a few condoms, picked up two hares, and added a plate of vegetables for his lunch drink."

The tall Kong Yuanda didn't hesitate to take the hare from the old farmer and said, "What a fat rabbit, it's best to use it for wine at noon. It's better to keep you and me talking about mulberry and hemp," said Mr. Liu.

The old farmer smiled and said, "Old man won't bother sir. If you have friends coming from afar, just treat it well."

After saying that, he led the cow away.

Kong Yuanda looked around in shock and suddenly found Li Chang riding on a donkey, looking at him with a smile, and bowing from afar.

Kong Yuanda was surprised and walked two steps quickly to hold Li Chang's hand who had jumped off the donkey's back and said, "Why did Brother Li come to the deserted and poor land?"

Li Chang smiled and said, "Brother Zizheng was able to live in seclusion in Zhuolu for ten years. Why can't I, Li Chang, come to visit you?

You have lived in the border area for a long time, and your family's letters are worth ten thousand gold. This time I came to bring the letter from the sect's gentleman, and the letter from the brother Zizheng's mother, wife and children. After you read it, it will be too late for us brothers to drink and have fun again."

As Li Chang said something, he took out a cloth bag from his arms and put it in Kong Yuanda's hand. He called the old servant to take the hare from Kong Yuanda's hand and go to the stream to deal with it.

Kong Yuanda hugged the small cloth bag in a daze, tears flowing down his face. After a while, he knelt on the ground and cried, "Mother, the child is unfilial!"

Li Chang sent the children away and supported the sad Kong Yuanda to walk into the wooden building. He said as he walked: "When I left Tangzhou, I went to Qufu, Taoyuan County to pay homage to my aunt. My aunt was in good health and has been in full swing. When I went there, my aunt was feeding silkworms. When I saw me, I asked, "Is it because my son was going far away for state affairs?"

I replied that it was exactly.

The aunt asked again: The state affairs have not yet been decided?

I replied that I will definitely see the difference this year and next two years.

The aunt said that a good man was a country and he had nothing to say, but he felt sorry for his wife and lived a widowed life with a young son. Later, when the aunt heard that I was going to see you, she said, if you have a woman outside, keep it in the outdoor room immediately, and you must not take it home... and murmured and said why you didn't bring your younger brothers and sisters for ten years, which would delay your descendants...

Since Kong Yuanda heard Li Chang say his mother, he bent over and listened with sincerity. After Li Chang finished speaking, he smiled bitterly: "I was shocked three times a day in Zhuolu, so I didn't have any idea of ​​getting involved in women. My mother was too worried, and cumming has always been virtuous. I am enough to have her alone.

Before I came to Liao Kingdom, Zhujing had already given birth to Boer, so why did he lose money and his descendants just say?"

Li Chang laughed and said, "The old man always dislikes his few descendants. After ten years of hard work, Brother Zizheng has lost at least five descendants. It is reasonable for the old man to complain.

But your hard days are coming to an end. The general's army has arrived at Tongtou Pass and will arrive in Fengshengzhou soon. Zhuozhou is naturally going to be in full swing."

Kong Yuanda nodded with a smile, then bowed to Li Chang and said, "Brother Li, please sit mercilessly. It will not be too late to talk to Brother Li after I have read the letter."

Li Chang agreed with a smile, and saw Kong Yuanda hurried into the inner room, so he had time to look at the wooden building in front of him.

The wooden building is in a standard northern format. The thick wooden beams support the entire wooden building. There is no painted leather on the beams and pillars, and there are naturally no carved beams and painted buildings. The original color of the wood is not clearly seen. Ten years of smoke and fire have turned into a strange dark yellow.
