At the beginning of October, Fuquan took more than 100 people to walk on the trail next to Rice Cang Mountain, which was named after the mountain and was named Rice Cang Road.

At the north end of Yonecang Road, it is located on the side of the rock, steep and steep in the abyss, which seems to be steep and abnormal, but there are already bluestone steps carved by predecessors for them to walk, but it is only slightly more difficult than the usual road. The only thing that makes Fuquan feel bad is that the rice cang road in this mountain is a little too winding, and the road that can often be crossed in a straight line has to take many detours, which is really troublesome.

But think about it is also relieved, the ancients were limited by the influence of production technology, obviously could not do the later generations of the mountain to dig the mountain, the water split the ability to build the road, they can only do to avoid the towering mountains, take the "along the river into a road, the ridge across the Ya, steep circle, dangerous and stacked" method to build the mountain road, so it will be so around.

The mottled moss on the bluestone steps, paragraph by paragraph, tells the blood and sweat of the predecessors to establish this road, which makes people feel that the ancestors are not easy, in order to survive through thorns and thorns, so that future generations can enjoy this mountain path. In the pre-Qin period, the Ba people opened up this ancient road to pass, to the Qin and Han dynasties, this ancient road was constantly repaired, after the efforts of generations, and finally had the scale of today's rice cang ancient road.

Otherwise, without this road, I don't know how many people will die here and fall into the mountains and forests on this rugged mountain road.

Fuquan and his party came from Hanchang County, and at this moment they were about to go to Langzhong County in the southwest, which was the last stop of Fuquan's inspection of the nine counties that were attacked by the barbarians during the Banyu Rebellion.

The people fell into a sea of misery, the fields were deserted, and the grain seeds in all counties were in short supply, the grain was to fill the stomachs of the people and not starve to death, and the seeds were for the agricultural production in the coming year not to be wasted.

Fortunately, when the barbarians were in turmoil, those Ban Yu barbarians also had some scruples, knowing that these Han people would not be with them and rebelled against the Han Dynasty, and they were also afraid that they would be retaliated against by the Han Dynasty for their outrage, so they only plundered the grain seeds and left only a small amount of food for those Han people, not only to keep the people from starving to death, but also to prevent these people from having the strength to resist.

Otherwise, if those barbarians have no scruples, and the thieves destroy everything of the people, and coerce the people into thieves, then it will be very difficult to recover. At this time, although the nine counties suffered serious losses due to chaos, it was only the agricultural loss of this year, and with the rich counties of Yizhou and the money and grain rewarded by the imperial court, these nine counties are slowly recovering their vitality.

Of course, the money rewarded by the imperial court is the county government's own, and the money and grain transported by other counties in Yizhou are equivalent to borrowing from other counties, and it will be repaid when the treasury of Ba County is full, after all, Ba County is not a poor county, and in previous years, it was necessary to receive the southern counties of Yizhou.

"Zhenshu is also a key road, today I know that Emperor Taizu Gao has a soldier to win the Han, according to the rice warehouse for the grain road, so why. If there is no such way, how can you destroy Chu Xinghan and win the world? Fuquan looked at this desolate ancient road full of history, and couldn't help but sigh and said, the mountain wind came out, with a little more sad chill.

The young man who had just stood next to him listened to Fuquan's words, and said with a smile in agreement: "What Ming Gong said is extremely true, if there is no such way, Emperor Taizu Gao will follow the plan of Huaiyin Marquis 'Ming Xiu Plank Road, Darkness Chen Cang', slightly determine the three Qin, control and choke the Guanzhong, and there is no rice warehouse to transfer the grain of Bashu, and it will be difficult to succeed." ”

Fu Quan nodded in agreement and said: "Yes, Emperor Taizu Gao's entry into the Three Qins, the plan of the Marquis of Huaiyin, and the grain of the Micang Road are indispensable." ”

Indeed, if there is no rice warehouse road to transport grain for Liu Bang out of Shu, he has to pass the guanzhong, and it is really not easy to set the three Qins. Since ancient times, it has been very difficult for the army to go out of Shu and Sichuan, after all, the Shu Road is difficult to travel, even if people have passed the Shu Road safely, but the logistics are not necessarily. Logistics can not be transported in time, not to mention the rest, no food, an army, ten percent of the combat strength will be abolished thirty percent, of course, if the war is not impossible, but in order to get the hearts of the people in Guanzhong, so as to "three chapters of the law", he dares to fight to feed the war like the uprising at the end of Qin, attack a city and loot a city?

Of course, it is not that you can't take this ancient road to transport grain, there is a golden bull road next to Langzhong County, you can also enter Guanzhong from Shudi out of Sichuan, but it starts from the city capital in the south, passes through Guanghan, Mianzhu, Zitong, the bigger, Xiaojian Mountain, passes through Jiameng and goes out of Sichuan, through the Qinling Mountains, out of the inclined valley, and goes straight to the 800 miles of Qinchuan The total length of about 2,000 miles is about 2,000 miles, and it goes around a big circle in Shudi, which is obviously much farther than the rice cang road after passing through Hanzhong and directly entering Guanzhong, deducting the food eaten by the people and soldiers who want to transport grain on the road, I don't know how much grain is left that can be transported into the customs in the end?

Then the young man sighed: "It's a pity that 'the cunning rabbit dies, and the good dog cooks; The high bird is exhausted, and the good bow is hidden; The enemy country is broken, and the ministers are dead', the beginning of the Han Dynasty is also the time when the Marquis of Huaiyin lost his life. I don't know if the Marquis of Huaiyin regretted that day in this rice cang road, and returned to the Han camp as promised by the Marquis of Wen, otherwise he would have escaped to Western Chu and would not have died because of this. ”

"Zi Yi said cautiously, since ancient times, 'if the cunning rabbit is exhausted, the good dog will cook, and if the enemy country is destroyed, the minister will die', this matter will eventually involve Taizu, don't say much," Fu Quan didn't want to discuss this somewhat taboo topic anymore, and said no more about the young man around him.

After all, this matter involves the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty, although the Han Dynasty can't help but speak privately, but if a place like Fuquan is rumored to talk about Liu Bang in private, it will be bad after all, and he can't be impeached for a big crime of disrespect. And what's more, Liu Bang is still Fuquan's maternal ancestor after all, and when this matter spreads, he can't say that he has to be impeached for being disloyal and unfilial, which is really a disaster.

"Mi Menglang, please don't blame Ming Gong!" The young man probably also reflected that he had made a mistake, and hurriedly apologized.

Fu Quan knew that he had just entered his career and had not yet understood the rules of officialdom, so he did not blame him, and beckoned everyone to move on. The mountain road was long, and before I knew it, I saw the outline of a small city in the distance, which made everyone who came along the way have more strength in vain, after all, they have been walking for a long time, and they are also very tired, and they urgently need to find a place to rest.

"Xi Hanzu (Liu Bang) didn't use Han Xin, the letter escaped to Western Chu, and Xiao Xiangguo chased after him. And Yuzi Mountain (Micang Mountain), so the temple appearance (Huaiyin Hou Temple). Excerpt from "Taiping Guangji"

Liu Bang was the king of Hanzhong, recruited people, pacified the three Qin, Xiao He, the minister of state, stayed in Bashu, and used Hancheng as a base to store grain and garrison soldiers, Emperor Gao of the Han Dynasty accordingly beat Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, and destroyed Chu Xinghan and won the world, so it was called Hancheng.
