Hanshui originated from Baoshui.

In fact, the earliest period of Hanzhong was not called Hanzhong, but was called Baozhong, or Baoguo.

The name Baoguo is actually very unfamiliar, even if Zhuge Liang learned to be rich and rich, it was also a later generation to consult some information, and then I knew that in this place in Hanzhong, it was originally called Baoguo at the earliest.

The reason why Zhuge Liang in later generations consulted the information about Baoguo was caused by an idiom:

Beacon Theatre Princes.

The two most important characters in this allusion, one is the ignorant King Zhou You, and the other is Bao Xi.

King You of Zhou has nothing to consult, the last king of the Western Zhou Dynasty, so ignorant that in order to win everyone's laughter, he actually lit the beacon fire of transmitting important military information, and the king who was so ignorant has long been known to everyone for thousands of years.

Zhuge Liang of later generations, when he first started learning this idiom, he was just a little curious, who is Bao Xi?

Can King Zhou You actually make the country and the city?

This 100 degree of historical data has involved an unknown Bao country.

The Bao Xi who captivated the country and the city is the daughter of the monarch of the Bao country. Just because the monarch of Bao Guo was convicted of his words, he was imprisoned by King Zhou You, and then in order to save the monarch, Bao Guo dedicated the monarch's favorite and most beautiful daughter Bao Xi to King Zhou You.

In the end, the monarch of the country was rescued, but it also added an idiom to history out of thin air: the princes of the beacon fire!

And Baoguo is the earliest capital of civilization propagation in Hanzhong.

Its border is only around today's Nanzheng, and the Baozhong Road is the only way to enter and exit the Guanzhong at that time, and the current Baozhong County is the former capital of the Baoguo. When the Qin State began to unify the whole country, the Bao State was destroyed, and a county was set up on the territory of the Bao State, which is the origin of Hanzhong County.

Of course, the earliest Hanzhong County was certainly not as big as it is now.

……

In later generations, Li Bai had a poem: Between the white emperor and the clouds, thousands of miles of Jiangling will be returned in one day.

Although this poem describes the Baidi City of Padang, the section of the Yangtze River waterway from Gangneung City, it also shows that taking the waterway is actually the most convenient mode of transportation in this era. It's all thousands of miles away from Jiangling in one day, and Lu Fengxian's former red rabbit horse is nothing more than that, right?

Of course, if you go upstream, it's no problem to travel two or three hundred miles a day.

From Xicheng County to Nanzhengcheng, the capital of Hanzhong, this section of the Hanshui waterway is upstream.

The three-masted warship can sail in the Han River, the sails can adjust the angle at any time, and the warship can go upriver with the power of the wind.

In the cabin, hundreds of soldiers sat quietly and waited.

Gan Ning, Wei Yan, Guan Ping, and Zhou Cang sat together, discussing where it was more appropriate to get off the boat.

According to the words of Kong Ming's military advisor, the four of them are all strong generals in the army, and they have just entered the account of Uncle Liu Huang this time, and they urgently need a military merit to gain a foothold, otherwise with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's temperament, I am afraid that most of them will look at them unpleasantly.

Wei Yan is deeply aware of this.

Therefore, the military advisor arranged a task for them: to repair the plank road in the light and Chen Cang in the dark!

Zhang Lu counterattacked Xicheng County, but was defeated under the city, and finally returned to Nanzheng City with less than 10,000 horsemen. If Uncle Liu Huang wants to sit firmly in Hanzhong, he must beat the water dog at this time, and the soldiers will quickly destroy Zhang Lu.

Therefore, according to the plan of the military division, Xicheng County almost poured out.

Guan Yu, as the first echelon, chased and killed Zhang Lu with two hundred elite horsemen, so as not to let Zhang Lu have a chance to breathe.

Then there is Zhao Zilong.

He led a cavalry army of 3,000 horsebacks, as the second echelon, while receiving Guan Yu, he also shouldered the heavy task of chasing and killing Zhang Lu.

Next, it is the lord Liu Bei, plus the military advisor Zhuge Kongming, and the general Zhang Fei, they led the 50,000 infantry army to slowly press to Nanzheng, and directly approached the city of Nanzheng, waiting for the opportunity to fight with Zhang Lu, and the battle decided the future of Hanzhong.

This plan has been done a long time ago.

It's just that before the whole army attacked, Wei Yan and Gan Ning both came.

If so, the military advisor Zhuge Kongming had a whim, and prepared to repair the plank road in the dark.

The 50,000 or 60,000 troops on the front, if there are fighters, can have a frontal decisive battle with Zhang Lu, if Zhang Lu closes the city gate and does not fight, these 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers and horses can be used to attract Zhang Lu's attention, but behind it, Wei Yan and Gan Ning and others raided Nanzheng.

After all, Zhang Lu definitely didn't expect that Liu Bei actually had three warships in his army.

Of course, secretly crossing the Han River to attack Nanzheng is only an auxiliary.

If you can sneak attack and take Nanzheng, everyone will be happy, even if the sneak attack fails, it can be regarded as a surprise to Zhang Lu.

This point, when this temporary secret crossing plan was made, Kong Ming's military division explained it very clearly; As for the choice of whether to go or not, it is up to Wei Yan and the four of them to make up their minds.

Wei Yan's idea was that at this moment they were sitting on a warship and were secretly crossing the Han River to Nanzheng.

……

"The moat of Nanzheng City is also a reference to the Han River. However, the Han River passes through Nanzheng City, so there are two water gates connecting the moat in Nanzheng City. Gan Ning explained as he marked the two water gates on the map.

Gan Ning was born in Jinfan Thief, and the first place to change his evil and return to righteousness was actually under the account of Liu Yan in Sichuan and Shu. At that time, Liu Yan was still virtuous, Zhang Lu had just won Hanzhong for Liu Yan, and he didn't dare to jump back immediately, because Gan Ning had also been to Hanzhong.

Of course, the main place he went to was Nanzheng City.

Therefore, Gan Ning knew that there were two water gates in Nanzheng City.

The map of Nanzheng City was handed over to them by Kong Ming's military division, and Gan Ning marked two water gates on the map, which was to prepare to pass through these two water gates and quietly lurk into the city, and then when the lord's army arrived, they took the opportunity to kill one night, opened the city gate, and received the army under the lord's command to enter Nanzheng City, which was a great achievement.

Nanzheng City must have been under martial law for a long time, even if it is a business traveler, I am afraid that I will not be able to enter Nanzheng City at this time. However, almost all of the hundreds of elite soldiers on the warship were carefully selected water masters, and it was not too easy to sneak into those two water gates from the moat of Nanzheng City.

After all, the army of the lord Uncle Liu Huang was still trekking through the eight hundred miles of mountain roads at this time, and no matter how martial law Nanzheng City was, it would not be so strict that the water gate would be blocked in the past few days.

The speed of taking a warship and taking a waterway is naturally much faster than marching on a mountain road.

Gan Ning and the others just wanted to catch Zhang Lu off guard and lurk in the city in advance.

It stands to reason that this plan can be regarded as a life and death, and the soldiers who open the city gate to answer will inevitably be killed by the Hanzhong army in Nanzheng City, and there must be very few soldiers who can survive. However, whether it was Wei Yan or Gan Ning, even Guan Ping and Zhou Cang, who were slightly inferior in strength, resolutely chose this action.

It is said that Zhang Lu's command did not have a powerful general, and the four of them blocked the city gate, didn't they kill the Quartet?

Therefore, lurking into the city, quietly opening the city gate, and receiving the lord's army into the city, this action is indeed a life of death for ordinary soldiers, but for them these fierce people, it is a great achievement.
