Chapter Seventy-Four: The Chessboard Pass

"The chessboard pass, so fast, has it passed Guangyuan?" Fan Yang asked in a daze.

Zhao Guangming sneered: "It's still Guangyuan, he sleeps like a pig, he has passed the sword gate, and he is Shaanxi when he goes out." ”

"yes, so how long have I been asleep?"

Looking at my watch by myself, it was past 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

Before 9 o'clock in the morning, they set off, as soon as they got on the road, they changed to the army to drive, this time was too busy, has not had a good rest, and the people are young, usually the head next to the pillow has to fall asleep.

This night's sleep is really heavy.

As soon as I touched my stomach, I felt uncomfortably hungry.

Li Shun intimately handed over a few breads and cola.

"Don't you call me for dinner?"

After eating bread, two bottles of Coke went down, and I was washed by carbonic foam and surrounded by cold wind before I regained my consciousness.

Looking around, I found that I had reached the mountainous area, and there was a stone tablet on the side of the road, which was engraved with the three words Mingyue Gorge.

There is a platform where the parking is located, and the stone monument is located on the platform, which is still a famous scenic spot, and several cars are parked before and after.

There were also a few people passing by, taking pictures on the platform.

"Mingyue Gorge?

"Isn't it? ”

In their car, they carried a map and could only walk in the general direction.

First walk Chengmian Road to Guangyuan, along Jianmen Shu Road, to Qipanguan, through Daba Mountain, which is the boundary of Shaanxi, all the way to ask.

Except for Zhao Guangming, including Fan Yang, he has not walked this road.

Several of them are in good spirits, and the dangers and cliffs along the way can be seen strangely.

And Fan Yang just woke up, and he was shocked a lot.

Standing next to the boundary monument of Mingyue Gorge, on the right hand side is a turquoise river, this place is a mountain canyon area, in the middle of the Jialing River, on both sides is the Qinba Mountains, the middle section of the Micang Mountain.

The mountains in northern Sichuan are different from those in western Sichuan and Kangding.

The geology of this generation is more stable, with the Qinling Mountains in the back, the climate is warm and the altitude is moderate, so the scenery here is very good, and the soil erosion is not serious.

This led to a situation where the mountains were very solid and the rocks were particularly hard.

Many of the mountain walls on both sides of the road are almost vertical upwards.

If the mountains in Kangding are pointed.

Then the Daba mountain range is round.

Like what Niutou Mountain, Brokeback Mountain, Qifeng Ridge, Liupan Mountain, Qipan Ridge, and so on.

You can tell from the name.

The mountains are both large and continuous.

Shu Road is difficult, it is difficult to go to the blue sky, this is what I mean.

Because it has no way out.

It's all mountains.

In ancient times, this lofty mountain was called a moat.

There is simply no capacity to build winding roads.

But this place, the geographical location is very important, it is the only passage connecting Sichuan and Shaanxi.

Because the Jialing River flows through here.

Therefore, the ancient Shu Road, this section of Mingyue Gorge, was built along the Jialing River.

Another problem is that there is no flat belt on this side of the mountain.

The mountain is steep.

Therefore, in ancient times, people entered Sichuan from Shaanxi and dug plank roads along the mountain walls on both sides.

So what is a plank road?

Boardwalk.

Use planks and chains to insert them into the mountain wall.

Along the course of the river, plank roads are paved and stone roads are excavated.

Walking on the plank road, there is the Jialing River at your feet, and the place where the terrain is high, and there is a cliff at your feet.

The reason why the Sichuan Basin is called the big rear is because it is surrounded by mountains, and wherever you go, you will encounter such a situation.

Poor transportation.

In case of combat readiness, blow up key bridges and tunnels to stop the enemy's advance.

During the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang's Ming repaired the plank road, and the darkness Chen Cang.

That's what it refers to.

During the Three Kingdoms, the Shu Han regime, Zhuge Liang, also occupied Sichuan and the Central Plains.

So where is the Central Plains, which was often said in ancient times?

Broadly speaking, it is Shaanxi.

There is also Hunan, part of Henan.

Eight hundred miles of Qinchuan, the land of the Three Qins, the ancient capital of the Thirteen Dynasties in Xi'an, during the Ming Dynasty, the Son of Heaven guarded the country, and then moved the capital to Beijing.

In modern times, the strategic significance of the Sichuan-Shaanxi Passage is even more significant, and the northwest region and the southwest region rely on this channel to transport materials.

Like Gansu, Shaanxi, Shanxi, including Beijing, Inner Mongolia, Liaodong three provinces.

It's all about delivering supplies.

In 1935, the government of the Republic of China spent money to build this Sichuan-Shaanxi highway.

Along the way, it is also a mountain and a wall, many highway sections, the top of the head is rocks, cliffs, dug into a semi-hollow tunnel, the car is driven in it, just like shuttling in the mountain.

Driving, and the people who ride in the car, tend to have a sense of fear.

Because the mountain overhead seems to be collapsing at any moment.

And that's exactly what happened.

The collapse of the Sichuan-Shaanxi Highway is very serious every year, and accidents occur frequently.

Changing Fan Yang to drive, unfortunately, after crossing the Mingyue Gorge, he soon entered this cave-like road.

I was scared along the way, and I didn't dare to say anything.

It was not easy to open Chaotian Gorge, the tiger's mouth, and the chessboard in front of it.

When the government of the Republic of China repaired the Sichuan-Shaanxi Highway, the Xiongguan, the city tower, and the turret of the Jianmen Pass and the Qipan Pass were all demolished.

The stone was broken and used to pave the way.

So it was demolished quite thoroughly, and the foundations were dug out.

Now all that remains is a bare stone monument that indicates that this place once had such a meaning.

After the chessboard pass, over the Qipanling, there are about more than 100 kilometers of winding mountain road, in the past is the boundary of Shaanxi, can go directly to Hanzhong.

Fan Yang's plan is to work non-stop, fight for a day, and rush to Hanzhong to rest again.

If you're lucky, you should be able to arrive around 12 p.m.

But when he walked to the chessboard level, Fan Yang was dumbfounded again.

Sichuan-Shaanxi Highway, other places he doesn't remember.

But the chessboard closes the tunnel, and he remembers it clearly.

scolded in his heart, and it was over, and it was the same situation with Erlang Mountain.

Like the Erlang Mountain Tunnel in later generations, it takes more than ten minutes to pass through.

Still not.

I have to go over the mountain again.

Fan Yang looked at a mountain as far as his sight could see, and his face was not good.

Forget it, in this era, there is only this condition, and it is good if you don't let yourself climb the plank road.

Flip it.

I simply increased the throttle, but just turned a corner, and a card was set up in an open area in front of me.

A bamboo pole painted in red and white sits in the middle of the road.

There was a yellow road administration car parked on the side of the road.

Several road administration personnel, wearing white large-brimmed hats, held this ticket in their hands, and made a gesture: "Pull over." ”

In front of the roadcar, there is also a van parked on the side, a Santana.

Several road officials were there for interrogation.

"It should be checked for overruns. ”

Fan Yang pulled over to the side of the road.

The two road officials came over, looked into the window, and saw a few people sitting, so they asked, "Where are you going?"

"Hanzhong. ”

Another road official came over and asked, "What are you doing in Hanzhong? Where are the people?"

"In Chengdu, we are in the fruit business, and we go to Hanzhong to buy goods. ”

The road administration saw that they were neatly dressed and had their own cars, which indeed looked like they were doing business.

I didn't bother it anymore, but I still said, "I'll show you my driver's license." ”

"No, I don't. Fan Yang replied truthfully.

"No, no, you're still driving. ”

"I'm working on it, and I haven't gotten it yet. ”

"Then pay attention to safety, drive slowly, drive without a license, and be fined 50. After saying that, he issued a ticket.

Fan Yang was honest.

I'm going to leave in a car.

The road administrator knocked on the window: "Wait a minute, you guys lean in front, wait for a few more cars, and go together again." ”

"What's going on?" asked Fan Yang.

"This is the rule, one of you cars takes the winding mountain road, it's too unsafe, there are two cars in front, add three of you, wait a while, and get together enough for 5 cars to be released once." ”

"And this kind of rule?"

"Don't be verbose, this is for your good, pay attention, you take care of each other along the way, if someone blocks the road, don't stop, just go over, if it's a robbery, it's not illegal to crush to death, and there are rewards." ”

"Well, okay. ”

"Get in line. ”

Saying that, another car came.

Fan Yang didn't say anything more, he honestly stopped and lined up behind the two cars.

In the past few years, car grabbing has become a trend, and the past two years have been much better.

Fan Yang: They withdrew money twice, both of which were taken by train from Chengdu to Hunan.

In Sichuan, I ran a few times to Kangding and one to Wenchuan, but in fact, I ran very little long-distance.

On the Chengdu-Chongqing route, it has long been almost hit.

Banners and slogans can often be seen to fight, like what kind of car bandit road rage, just kill it.

One person set up a card, and the whole village went to jail.

On the mountain wall in front of them, there was also a line of words painted with red paint: Kill the car bandit road rage who is committing the crime on the spot, and the people will not bear legal responsibility.

I don't know if they were lucky or whatever.

I've never met it yet.

The army and the red soldiers still had smiles on their faces, and they didn't take it seriously at all.

Only Zhao Guangming opened the rear window and stuck out his head to look at it for a while.

Retracted back and said: "This place is still messy, you see this barren mountain and wilderness, there are a few cats in it, grab it and run, who can find it? Tsk, there must be a group of bandits in it, it makes sense, let's wait, get out of the car and smoke a cigarette." ”

Fan Yang, like the army, knew that there would be danger ahead, but his heart was very relaxed.

The length of the car is short, but there are three or four.

If anyone really dares to come, it can only be regarded as their eyesless.

Several people leaned against the side of the car and smoked.

Soon, the car that stopped behind also came over, and the front of the car was boxy, a big car, Dongfeng Cummins with a double bridge.

The cart was full of lumber.

On top of the wood, there was no tarpaulin, ropes were tied to it, and on top of the wood, two rows of yellow cardboard boxes were neatly stacked.

Look at it like that, there are twenty or thirty pieces.

Fan Yang and Zhao Guangming's expressions were very exciting.

"Wow, this is all a peer, hey, look, did you kid look exactly the same as the two of him?" After the car stopped, the door opened, and two young men who looked to be only about twenty years old jumped out of the passenger seat.

Unkempt and unkempt, his clothes were tattered, and he jumped out of the car and screamed that it was cold.

I took out a pack of cigarettes, stuffed them in my mouth, and patted them in my pockets, as if neither of them had lighters.

Seeing Fan Yang and the others, although they were young and their faces were still dark, they were not ashamed at all, so they strode over: "Brother, borrow a fire." ”
