In the afternoon, Qu Adong, Mausoleum District, Emperor Wen of Liang built the tomb.

In front of the Shinto Stone Pillar, Li Li was stopping to watch.

The stone pillar is on both sides of the sacred road, and on the base, there are a pair of ring-shaped dragons with beads in the mouth, with two horns on the head, four feet on the head, and two tails on the stone turtle. The turtle is shaped like a giant turtle.

There is a plate bearing the exposed plate on the top of the column, and a rectangular stone forehead on the body of the column, engraved with words, which is written in Lishu.

There are two stone pillars with the stone tops opposite each other. One is the regular book and the other is the reverse book and the other is the reverse book. Li Li identified it one by one, and it turned out that it was written as "The Divine Way of Emperor Taizu Wen".

Emperor Taizu Wen refers to Xiao Shunzhi, father of Emperor Wu of Liang, Xiao Yan, who had already died before Xiao Yan became emperor.

Li Li turned his gaze elsewhere and soon landed on two stone-carved beasts on both sides of the shrine.

The shape of the mausoleum is roughly composed of stone carvings, shrines, and tombs. There are also double landmark buildings on the shrine. There is a circle of walls around the outermost part, which encloses the mausoleum into a closed cemetery.

The Shinto Stone Beast is an indispensable stone carving. Li Li thinks that the stone beast is similar to a watchdog, guarding the tombs for the deceased.

The stone beasts in the tomb of Emperor Wen of Liang are divided into north and south, with similar figures, all with heads raised and chests raised, majestic shapes, with wings slightly raised, and five petals of small flowers in the thin scales. The ridges of the beast are decorated with beads that run through the head and tail.

But the details are different: the northern beast is Tianlu, with two horns on the head; the southern beast is Qilin, with one horns on the head.

Li Li looked carefully and didn't think there was anything good to look at, so he looked around.

This area of ​​the tomb not only has the tomb of Emperor Wen of Liang, but also the tombs of the emperors of Qi State nearby. The late emperor Xiao Yan was originally going to be buried here. The tomb was dozens of steps away from the north, but was delayed by the war.

Since this place is a mausoleum area, of course there are special people guarding the tombs, and there are about hundreds of households who usually take care of the mausoleum area, maintain ground buildings, clean up weeds on time, etc.

However, the thief attacked and Qu'a fell. Many people were forced to enlist in the army or fled to other places to avoid military disasters, so the mausoleum area was empty.

There are only lonely stone carvings, shrines, tombs, empty ground buildings, and all kinds of birds and beasts.

Li Li looked at the sacrificial hall in the distance, and then looked at the bleakness, thinking that this place is suitable for making horror movies.

This thought was extremely disrespectful, so Li Li put away his thoughts, turned around and left, and walked towards Yundu on the east side.

There is Yundu in the imperial tomb area, which runs north and south. The northern end stops at the north and south end is connected to Jingkou-Jinling Yundu. The intersection of the two Yundu is called Lingkou.

Yundu in Ling District was artificially excavated. To the east of Li Li's location, there is a water-storage and flat water dam - Qiu Da, which ensures that the water level of Yundu can be connected to the ship all year round.

Before, the emperor (Emperor Wu Xiao Yan) and his royal families, nobles and ministers came to visit the imperial tombs, boarded the ship at the mountain pavilion southeast of Jiankang, entered Pogangdu, and arrived at Qu'a.

Then enter Jingkou - Jinling Yundu Zhe to the southeast, arrive at Lingkou, and walk north at Lingkou, and then you can directly reach Jianling, which is very convenient.

In the future, the late emperor will be buried here, and it will be very convenient for me to visit the tomb today.

If the Liang Kingdom could last for two hundred years, then the number of ‘residents’ in this cemetery would become more and more ‘live’.

However, this is impossible, because all the dynasties of this era are short-lived dynasties.

Even the Sui Dynasty, which ended the chaotic times of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, died in the second lifetime. It was not until the Tang Dynasty, which was inherited from the same lineage that the world became stable.

What's the problem?

He is not a historian, and although he has his own opinions, he will not explain this issue clearly for a while. Looking at the mausoleum in front of him, he only feels that Game of Thrones is bloody and cruel.

The opportunity for the rise of the Xiao family in the Southern Dynasty was to become the stepmother of Liu Song's relatives, the stepmother of Emperor Wu of Song, Liu Yu, was the daughter of the Xiao family in Lanling.

The Liu Song Dynasty was weakened by the bloody internal strife of the royal family and finally went to destruction, and its country was usurped by the powerful minister Xiao Daocheng.

However, Xiao Qi had only more than 20 years of national prosperity, so that Emperor Wu of Liang Xiao Yan became a figure in the three dynasties who "born in Liu Song", "growed in Xiao Qi", and "created Xiao Liang".

Why is Xiao Qi so short-lived? The clan's strife was too much and was taken advantage of by others.

Therefore, Xiao Yan, who witnessed the tragedy and consequences of the massacre of the Liu Song and Xiao Qi clans, tried his best to protect the clan, and to the point of being doting.

However, the rewards obtained by such pampering were not what Xiao Yan thought of as "friends, brothers, respects, and respects," "fathers, kindness, and filial sons". The royal family was rampant and even had many rebellions.

Reusing the royal family will not work because the royal family will rebel; suppressing the royal family will not work because outsiders will have opportunities to take advantage of.

Over the past few hundred years, many emperors have thought about all the ways they can think of in order to keep their country and let their descendants settle down, but nothing can work.

It is unreliable to rely on the foreign relatives, gentry, nobles, and royal families to protect the imperial power.

Li Li felt that maybe Xiao Yan understood that this was the case in this world, so he vigorously admired Buddhism, hoping to use Buddhism to numb everyone and make do with it to live.

But it's just self-deception. If the contradictions are not resolved, they will not disappear by themselves. Instead, they will become more and more sharp. After decades of suppression, they will still explode.

"Here, come!"

The shouting brought Li Li back to reality from his thoughts. He looked in the sound, but saw a ship slowly coming from the southern end of Yundu.

......

In the evening, a large camp site appeared in the wilderness in the east suburbs of Qu'a and on the east side of Yundu.

In the campground, there were not only many people surrounding the camping fires, but also sturdy war horses.

This is an army dominated by cavalry. Because there are sentry cavalry patrolling everywhere, the movements and stills within ten miles (Yundu East Region) are under their control.

No one can get close to it secretly, even a wild dog.

Several riders galloped over, followed several interceptions, inquired, and entered the campsite.

Come to the main general Song Zixian and report on the enemy situation he found.

"There are about two to three thousand enemy troops in the Mausoleum area. Judging from the footprints on the ground, there are not many horses."

When Song Zixian heard this, he asked, "Are you sure you have not found any signs of cavalry gathering?"

A visitor replied: "Yes, whether it is the footprints or the scattered horse manure, we have carefully investigated around, and there are very few horses."

"So, is there any water in Yundu?" Song Zixian suddenly asked, and Guhou replied: "Yes, and the water is not shallow, so you should be able to take a boat."

"That is, they may transport horses and troops by boat?"

“Yes, it’s possible.”

Song Zixian asked for a while, asked Guardoir to step down and figure it out himself.

There is no doubt that the so-called "generals sweeping the imperial tombs" by Liang Jun is a trap, but how to break this trap and give Liang Jun a heavy blow is the issue they need to consider.

According to the information from Qu'a's detailed investigation, today there were indeed a large number of Liang troops entering the mausoleum area by land, and some ships also went into the lucky ditch.

So, is the Liang army, which is blocked by them now, a partial division or a main force?

Is his troops two or three thousand people entering the mausoleum by land, or is there another soldier that may be hidden on the ship entering the mausoleum?

The branches burned in the bonfire, making a "crackling" sound. Song Zixian thought for a moment and laughed.

No matter how many soldiers there were in the mausoleum area, he would not rush into it rashly. Although he didn't know how Liang Jun's trap was arranged, as long as he nailed it here and prevented Liang Jun from returning to the city, that would be fine.

The cavalry of Song Zixian's troops set out from Jingkou and arrived at the eastern suburbs of Qu'a that day. They separated from Qu'a Yundu and wanted to block the Liang army in the magistrate area outside the city.

As for how many Liang troops were in the magistrate area and what traps were set up, it didn't matter. What Song Zixian had to do was to block the Liang troops inside and outside the city.

Not only cavalry, but also light-moving infantry can also reach the suburbs of Qu'a in the evening, so no matter what trap the Liang army has, it will not work.

He raised his head and looked towards the east of the mausoleum area. The road to the mausoleum started from the mausoleum entrance in the southeast and walked north.

So even if Liang Jun from the Ling District wants to get a shortcut here, he has to cross the field, including small rivers, water sieges, infantry can come, and cavalry?

Maybe I want to attack at night, but you want to use this clumsy trick to get us into the trap? Dream!
