Chapter 531 The Tomb of the Marquis of Nanzheng, the Great General of the Han Dynasty

When Jiang Kun said that there was nothing in the cave, everyone, including Chen Jing, thought it was just an empty rejoicing. However, unexpectedly, things took a turn for the worse. Jiang Kun discovered that there were words carved on the innermost wall of the cave.

!

It is estimated that he was just looking to see if there was anything in the cave and ignored the words on the wall. Fortunately, the cave was not big, Jiang Kun finally saw it.

After hearing Professor Chen's instructions, Jiang Kun immediately approached the wall with a flashlight and found the official script engraved on it. Although he was mainly responsible for exploration tasks, he was also an archaeologist, so he naturally recognized the official script.

So, he picked up the walkie-talkie with his other hand and read out the official script on the wall word by word from top to bottom.

"The tomb of Marquis Nanzheng, the great general of the Han Dynasty who conquered the West!"

After reading these words, Jiang Kun himself fell into shock, and the reaction of everyone outside the mountain temple was similar to his. They were all speechless and full of shock.

The characters engraved on the cave walls are obviously in the style of tombstones. The tombstones of Daqingshan Ancient Tombs are actually in the cave inside the mountain temple!?

You must know that this place is quite far away from the location of the Daqingshan Ancient Tomb.

However, considering that the tomb keeper stayed in the mountain temple for a long time as a temple blessing, it seems normal. It seems that the tombstone should be here, so the mountain temple was built later.

You must know that according to what Professor Chen said, the architectural style of this mountain temple should be from the late Ming Dynasty to the early Qing Dynasty, so it may not have been built at the same time as the Daqingshan Ancient Tombs.

If you think about it carefully, it should be the chaos in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. At that time, the tombkeepers of the Daqingshan Ancient Tomb were worried that the tomb would be discovered and then forcibly excavated by some rebels or warlords to take away the funerary objects inside, so they just hid the tombstone.

They got up and built a mountain temple outside.

This method of hiding is similar to Jie Lu's method of hiding, and it takes advantage of people's fear of ghosts and gods in ancient times.

"The General of the Han Dynasty who conquered the West?" At this time, an archaeologist came back to his senses: "I remember that the Han Dynasty did not seem to have this official position, there was only the General of the Western Conqueror."

After a pause, he continued: "And who is Marquis Nanzheng?"

Just as he was speaking, Professor Chen seemed to have thought of something, and there was a clear look in his eyes. He was about to say something.

"It's Wei Yan!" Old Chen suddenly slapped his thigh with excitement and said.

"Wei Yan?" The archaeologist who asked the question turned to look at Old Chen.

"Yes, Wei Yan is the general who conquered the west of Shu, and his title is Marquis of Nanzheng." Old Chen said excitedly, and it could be heard from his words that he really knew the history of the Three Kingdoms period.

, at least more than the confused archaeologist.

What I have to say is that interest is indeed the best teacher for people. Because Lao Chen likes the stories of the Three Kingdoms period, and he has been seriously ill in recent years and cannot do many things, so when he has nothing to do, he can only watch "Three Kingdoms"

Books like "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Three Kingdoms".

Especially the latter "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", which is one of the twenty-four histories and is the official history. The authenticity of the content in it is not comparable to "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", which is actually a novel.

Therefore, it is not surprising that Lao Chen could so quickly realize that General Zhengxi and Marquis Nanzheng were Wei Yan.

"I see." The archaeologist nodded and became excited: "In that case, we can determine the identity of the owner of the Daqingshan Ancient Tomb."

Here, Chen Jing was also full of thoughts and surprises. The country established by Liu Bei was often called Shu Han by later generations, but in fact at that time Liu Bei considered himself to have inherited the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty. Therefore, the entire Shu Han civil servants and generals called themselves Han

Sir, there is no problem at all.

"If the owner of the tomb is really Wei Yan, then my previous speculation is correct." At this time, Lin Qiang also said excitedly and happily.

"Well, your guess is indeed correct. Wei Yan can indeed be said to have died in a political struggle in history." At this time, Professor Chen finally spoke and agreed with Old Chen's statement. The owner of the tomb or the tombstone

The person written above is really Wei Yan, the so-called "rebellious person born in the back of his head".

Hearing this, Chen Jing also remembered some information about Wei Yan. Although he was not proficient in history, he was fairly familiar with some well-known figures during the Three Kingdoms period. Mainly because the identity of the owner of the ancient tomb in Daqingshan was a mystery, he had

I also took the time to look up some relevant information.

Wei Yan, whose birth year is unknown and died in 234 AD, was named Wenchang, a native of Yiyang, and a famous general in the Shu Han Dynasty. He was highly regarded by Liu Bei.

Different from what was told in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Wei Yan did not surrender to Liu Bei, but followed him early before Liu Bei became prosperous.

When Liu Bei entered Sichuan in the later period, Wei Yan was promoted to General Yamen because of his military exploits. After Liu Bei captured Hanzhong, he was promoted to General Zhenyuan and the prefect of Hanzhong. He became the sole general who guarded Hanzhong for more than ten years.

Later, when Liu Bei became emperor, Wei Yan was granted the title of General Zhenbei. He accompanied Zhuge Liang in the Northern Expedition, became the governor of Liangzhou, and was granted the title of Tinghou. He defeated Fei Yao and Guo Huai in Yangxi, and later planned to lead the army himself.

He attacked Guanzhong from Ziwu Road, followed Han Xin's story, and joined forces with Zhuge Liang at Tongguan, but was opposed by the cautious Zhuge Liang. This is the famous Ziwu Valley conspiracy in history.

However, it is said that Wei Yan had an aloof character and was at odds with Yang Yi, the chief official of the Shu Han Dynasty. After Zhuge Liang's death, the conflict between the two intensified and they fought for power. However, in the end Wei Yan was defeated and was chased by Ma Dai, and the three tribes were annihilated.

.

There is a key point in these materials, that is, Wei Yan is highly valued and trusted by Liu Bei, and even this trust is no less than that of Zhang Fei and Guan Yu to a certain extent.

According to records, in the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an, that is, 219 AD, Liu Bei claimed to be the King of Hanzhong in Mianyang and established his government in Chengdu. At that time, it was necessary to leave generals to guard the crucial Hanzhong, and most people at the time expressed the opinion that

He believed that Zhang Fei should serve as the prefect of Hanzhong, and Zhang Fei also felt that this position belonged to him.

However, Liu Bei unexpectedly promoted Wei Yan to the rank of Governor of Hanzhong and Grand Administrator of Hanzhong, and promoted Wei Yan from General Yamen to General Zhenyuan. This decision shocked everyone in the Shu Han group at that time.

Because Hanzhong is the gateway to Shu, its importance is self-evident. As for the important position of Hanzhong Governor, Liu Bei finally gave it to Wei Yan instead of Zhang Fei, which shows his trust in Wei Yan.

And with this kind of trust, it seems more reasonable for him to become the sword protector of the Red Sky Sword.
