Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 1081

Cui Sheng didn't like this ghost place very much.

He doesn't even like rice, and today's breakfast is rice again.

"What the hell is the rice yield in Champa, but it's really unpalatable." As a northerner, Cui Sheng likes pasta, but hates rice. He always feels that the rice will stick to his throat.In the past, when I was in the Central Plains, even if I ate some rice occasionally, it was very soft and glutinous rice, which was dry and astringent like this Champa rice.

Su Balang really likes rice. As a sword and shield soldier from an ordinary peasant family, his childhood memories are full of hunger. Before he became a soldier, he never ate three meals a day, and two meals a day were not enough. When I'm not doing heavy work, I eat two meals a day, and only when I'm busy, I eat one meal and one meal.

His family has grown rice before, but rice is precious and needs water conservation, so there is only one piece of irrigated land to grow it.But the rice harvested every year is sold for money.

Only when he was 13 years old, the family's old house collapsed in the rain, and later the family borrowed money to ask someone to build the house.My father specially kept a bag of rice, crushed the hulls and used it to cook rice to thank the craftsmen who built the house.

That day when he came back from carrying the tree for a long time, he was hungry and hungry and saw the rice cooking in the pot. The aroma was so tempting. Bowl of rice to eat.

He still can't forget the smell, it's too fragrant and delicious, but before he finished eating it, his father came in and saw it, picked up the spatula and smashed it on his head, there are still A large scar was left.

So in Su Balang's memory, rice is definitely a good thing.

When he came to the Sunset Kingdom in Guangnan, he was able to eat rice for three meals a day. This was really a good thing he never thought of.

Cui Sheng only had two taels of rice, while Su Balang had five taels of rice.

Five taels of rice is not five taels of rice, but five taels of raw rice cooked rice. One tael of raw rice can cook about a bowl of rice, but soldiers in the army generally eat a lot, and four taels is the standard amount.

"Captain Cui, you don't feel hungry after eating such a small amount, how can your body handle it?" Su Ba persuaded.As he spoke, he took a few mouthfuls of rice. There is enough food in the military camp, but the dishes are relatively simple. A bowl of seaweed soup with some sea salt sprinkled in it tastes okay.Then there are a few vegetables, and as for the meat, there is only salted fish.

This is the advantage of a place near the sea, sea salt and salted fish can be guaranteed, but the mutton that Cui Liulang used to like to eat is gone, and the business of raising sheep here has just begun, so he is not willing to eat it.The pigs have not been raised to a large scale, and it is not bad to eat a few meals of meat every ten days.

"The weather is also hot, I have no appetite."

Although Cui Sheng has been here for more than half a year, he is still not used to the weather here. It's the first lunar month, and it's as hot as summer.

"Eat more if you don't have an appetite. Today it's our team's turn to go out on patrol again. This time we have to go through the few villages we just attacked last time. This trip will take ten days. If you don't eat enough, there will be a lot of trouble on the way." No energy."

Cui Sheng picked up a few mouthfuls of food indiscriminately, "Our commander is also the same. What a great opportunity to make meritorious service in the suppression of chaos in Guangxi. If you don't fight for it, let that kid Li Shimin lead the team, really. Patrol, can there be Is there a high chance of making meritorious service against the rebels?"

"We are Fubing, how can we go out of bounds easily. Li Erlang is different, he is not a soldier. I heard that they went out this time, playing the banner of the Pirates on which the sun never sets. Team Cui, they are going to be Thief, what is there to be envious of?"

Cui Sheng was still not very happy, he really hoped that he could make some great contributions as soon as possible, and then leave this ghostly place as soon as possible and return to the Central Plains.

This place is too far away from the Central Plains. As a native of Chang'an, Cui Sheng collapsed when he knew the distance from his hometown.

From here to Luoyang, the eastern capital, it is 1 miles, and the waterway is 390 miles.

As far as Chang'an is concerned, the distance is 250 miles by land and [-] miles by land and water.

Even if there are still more than 300 miles to the sea.

More than 7000 miles, unimaginably far away. He remembered that when he came here, he had been floating on the sea for more than a month.

Cui Sheng is a member of the Cui family, of course, the Cui family of the five surnames and seven families. Although he is an offshoot, he was also a personal guard in Chang'an during the Sui Dynasty. Because of that big treason case, he was relegated to this ghost place.

If he didn't have great military achievements, he might not be able to return to the Central Plains in this life, and he could only be a "Maliuren" as the Southern barbarians called it here.

"Su Ba, do you know why the barbarians call us Marius?"

"Captain Cui, you can't trouble me with this, I know. It is said that our area was the ancient Yueshang kingdom in the Qin Dynasty, Qin opened Baiyue, and Jiaozhi and the land south of it were set up as Xiangjun. During Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty In the south of Kaijiaozhi, it was set up as Nanjun, and it had five counties such as Zhuwu and Xianglin. Later, Wu divided Rinan County into Jiude County, Jin, Song, and Qi. It was changed to Huanzhou in the early Sui Dynasty, and it was changed to Japan in Daye Nanjun, abolished Jiude County and merged into it."

"To the south of Puyang County is Yueshang County, and more than [-] miles to the south is the State of Linyi, and more than [-] miles to the south, there is the State of Xituyi. It is said that the Han Dynasty sent horses to fight against Lin Yiman, and the reinforcements intersected themselves. Set out, go down the sea, open a side road to avoid the sea, enter Dangchang County to Jiuzhen, from Jiuzhen to Qiguo, open a land road, to Rinan, and finally to Linyi."

"After Ma Yuan defeated Lin Yiman, he went south two thousand miles to the border of Xituyi Kingdom. To commemorate the prosperity of Hande, Ma Yuan specially ordered someone to cast two bronze pillars on the southern boundary of Xianglin to separate the territory from Xitu. At that time, Dozens of those who were injured and could not return were intentionally left under the copper pillars. By the time of the Sui Dynasty, the Nanman called us Han people Maliu people."

Speaking of this, Su Ba was very excited. In the Han Dynasty, Ma Yuan could fight so far.

Cui Shengdao, "According to this record, the waterway is more than [-] miles from the South China Sea of ​​Jiaozhi to Linyi, and [-] miles from Jiaozhi to Tongzhu."

"I heard that the two bronze pillars are still there, and there are even more than [-] families there. At first, the Maliu people only called them Maliu people. Later, all Guangnan Han people were called Maliu people."

"From here, there are still [-] miles to the capital of Linyi. During the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Ming sent troops to conquer Linyi, destroying the capital and returning it."

Linyi Linyi, originally Xianglinyi in Rinan County in the Western Han Dynasty, was called Xianglinyi, and Xianglinyi was omitted later, so it was called Linyi.At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Qu Lian, the son of the county meritorious Cao, killed the county magistrate appointed by the Han Dynasty. He claimed to be the king of Linyi. The king asked to surrender as a minister and pay tribute.The descendants of the Ou family passed on, without any heirs, and were established by his grandson Fan Xiong. Since then, the king of Linyi has become the Fan family.

During the Daye period of the Sui Dynasty, the Sui general led his army to conquer and set up Linyi County.

However, at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the people of Linyi took advantage of the chaos to separate the kingdom again, and its king was renamed Huanwang, and the capital was moved to Champa, so it was also called Champa.

Su Ba put down his chopsticks, "Captain Cui, you said that sooner or later we will wipe out the traitors and officials in Linyi, recover Linyi, and set up Linyi County again?"

Cui Sheng thought for a while, "It's natural. You see, since the current sage came to the throne, Goguryeo, Turkic, Tuyuhun, Western Turkic and Tubo became vassals, and the rest, such as Xishan Qiang and Yunnan Man, did not surrender. How long can this Lin Yi dance?"

"Eat quickly, take a break after eating, go to the Jiazhan library to get armor and equipment, feed the horses, we are going to go on patrol, remember to get more medicine, if you don't have mosquito repellent medicine when camping outside, it will be fatal."
