Chapter 597: The Superior Philistine
The unification of the Han Dynasty is irreversible, and besides, this ancient era is not the later Qing Dynasty and the folk period, there are not so many twists and turns, and the people are more simple and pure, as long as the broad masses of the Han people recognize the New Han Dynasty and win their hearts, then those individual people who want to destroy and hinder the development of the New Han Dynasty must bear the anger of Liu Yi.
You make me feel bad, so don't blame me for being hateful!
At the critical moment when Liu Yizheng planned to solve the war in Yizhou and Hanzhong as soon as possible, and to use troops against Cao Cao to unify the Han Dynasty, the local tyrants of the middle and upper classes in Jingzhou dared to drag their feet, so they had to be psychologically prepared to be exterminated.
Liu Yi asked Yizhi, Sun Qian, Chen Zhen and other civilian officials to issue an order, explicitly ordering to ensure the logistics and supply of Yizhou and Hanzhong, and if it is not necessary, Jingzhou must not request logistical support from the Luoyang court, because the current Luoyang court is preparing for the logistics of the final battle with Cao Cao, and can no longer be distracted from sending supplies to the battlefields of Yizhou and Hanzhong.
In terms of supplies, the most important thing is not the matter of food and weapons, but the issue of changing winter clothes for hundreds of thousands of soldiers on the front line. Jingzhou did not have the experience of the Luoyang court in preparing logistics for the pre-war army, because the lack of cooperation of the middle- and upper-class Jingzhou people led to a little problem.
But these, after Liu Yi's order was issued, within a few days, all the local tyrants and clans of all sizes in all the towns and cities of Jingzhou hurriedly took action, and they had the money to contribute and make a strong contribution to make up for some of the taxes that they were unwilling to offer before.
However, these Lewis didn't bother to pay attention to it, anyway. The words have already shown that who does not know affairs. Regardless of the overall interests of the entire Han Dynasty, then they will perish. Even if it's all the time. There are a few Jingzhou families who have a lot of opinions on Liu Yi, and even some hatred, well, they refer to some of the scholars who have no time to escape and are still left in the Jingzhou area, or some families who have a great relationship with the Cai family, the Zhang family, the Kuai family, etc., and some of the scholars who Liu Yi does not know yet, and may be controlled by Sima Zheng. None of them dared to make any changes, and obediently responded to Liu Yi's orders from the strategists.
After that, Liu Yi did not stay in Xiangyang City for a few days, and immediately led an army brought back from Nanyang earlier, together with a logistics supply team led by Chen Zhen, to escort a batch of winter supplies up the Hanshui River and rush to join Guan Yu.
There are actually two routes to attack Hanzhong from Xiangyang City. One route is to go directly from the west of Xiangyang City, through some mountain gorges into the mountains, and then from the Grand Canyon Road between the two large mountain ranges all the way to the west. However, along the way, the terrain is quite dangerous. It is difficult for people and animals to walk, and there are countless passes that cannot be opened by one husband and ten thousand people. And there's something that's exciting. This mountain and valley passage, which is estimated to be passed through by no one really walking, is at least 700 miles long. If the New Han army wants to enter Hanzhong through this route. It's really not easy, and it's hard to say whether it will succeed or not. Moreover, if you enter from this route, you will not be able to reach Hanzhong, but you can only reach Shangyong (that is, Ankang City in later generations).
And the other way? It is to march along the Han River from the northwest direction of Xiangyang, and finally reach Shangyong City. And, according to the satellite map on Levion's mobile phone, it is estimated that the distance is closer than passing through the mountains west of Xiangyang. It is estimated that it is only a distance of more than 600 miles. In this way, there is no need for Liu Yi to give up the easy and take the difficult, so he has set the route to enter Hanzhong early.
Only this route is more reliable and feasible for Liu Yi.
Moreover, at the beginning of the period, Liu Yi ordered Wei Yan to lead hundreds of thousands of military horses to march to Hanzhong, and indeed almost killed all the way to Shangyong City, with the relationship of waterway support, Wei Yan's army rushed into hundreds of miles non-stop, and then it was blocked in a section of 20 or 30 miles away from Shangyong, and it was difficult to advance an inch. In an area called Zaoyanggou.
Until, Guan Yu led the army to support, only to achieve a breakthrough, the New Han army of 200,000 or 300,000 troops, killed Shangyong City, but, for the time being, it could only surround Shangyong City, and it was not able to capture it for a while.
Liu Yi is now going to rush to Shangyong City, join Guan Yu, Wei Yan and other generals to see how to break through Shangyong and then march to Hanzhong. You must know that from Shangyong to Hanzhong, there is still a distance of nearly 400 miles, and it is not easy to walk all the way, all of which are some mountain roads with dangerous terrain.
Speaking of fighting Hanzhong, Liu Yi has always had a doubt in his heart.
That is the process of Cao Cao's capture of Hanzhong in the history of the Three Kingdoms.
How so? At that time, the world was basically three.
Cao Cao, he has basically captured the entire north, including Luoyang, Chang'an and Xiliang regions, Jingzhou's Xiangyang area and the area north of the Yangtze River.
And what about Liu Bei? Not long after getting Yizhou, he was not able to march from Yizhou to Hanzhong immediately. Guan Yu guarded Jiangling, occupied a very important strategic position, controlled the important entrance and exit from Yizhou to Jingzhou, and was also an important advance base for Liu Bei to dominate the Central Plains and unify the Han Dynasty.
Sun Quan occupied Jiangdong, which also included the southern part of the former Jingzhou.
How was the war in which Cao Cao captured Hanzhong and forced Zhang Lu to surrender as described in the book? This ink doesn't seem to be much, but Liu Yi is very puzzled and feels that it is extremely unreasonable.
In the book, it is said that Cao Cao raised troops to the west and divided his troops into three teams, with Xiahou Yuan, the vanguard of the front; ZHANG He; the generals in the middle; Cao Ren and Xiahoudun in the rear, escorting grain and grass. In fact, in other words, although Cao Cao's military horses were divided into three teams, they only entered Hanzhong along one line, and they were only divided into sequences.
However, Liu Yi didn't quite understand, all the way to Hanzhong, Cao Cao, which way to enter Hanzhong at that time? Or was Cao Cao marching from Xiangyang to Hanzhong, or from Luoyang? From Chang'an? From the West Cool? These seem to be completely unexplained. Liu Yi only knew that when Cao Cao went west to Hanzhong, he should still have Xu Du, who had just forced to die after Empress Fu of Emperor Xian, Queen Fu was Fu Shou, the daughter of Princess Yang'an.
Of course, don't talk about that now. What Liu Yi didn't understand was this, Cao Jun and Zhang Lujun came into contact and started the war, but it was in Yangping Pass.
This one. It's really like telling a story, and suddenly jumping to another plot. Let Liu Yi scratch his head.
Or, many people in the Hereafter. I don't think about this when I watch the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but if I study geography a little, I'm afraid that something is not quite right.
Where is Yangpingguan? That is, in Ningqiang County in later generations. Ningqiang County, just north of Guangyuan City, is a small place between a large canyon. In this way, you may not understand it yet. This Yangping Pass is between Sichuan and Hanzhong, and it is a very important pass between Yizhou and Hanzhong, which is quite steep.
But. Although this Yangping Pass is dangerous, what is the significance of Zhang Lu sending a large army to defend Yangping Pass to resist the invasion of Cao Cao's army? But on the contrary, Cao Cao's army did not appear in Yangping Pass abruptly, as if a divine soldier descended from the sky, and suddenly penetrated the heavy mountains to Yangping Pass to fight with the military horses of Hanzhong.
Liu Yizhen was really drunk, and he really didn't understand which route Cao Cao's military horse took. How did you get around such a big circle, from the heavy mountains, and suddenly reach the front of Yangping Pass?
You know, want to go from Guangyuan City to Yangping Pass. At least you have to enter Sichuan first, right? If you want to enter Sichuan, you have to take the Shu Road, and at that time. Shu Dao is completely under the control of Liu Bei and Guan Yu, where did Cao Jun enter Sichuan from? If Cao Jun can enter Sichuan. So why bother to fight Zhang Lu, it's not good to hit Liu Bei directly. seized Yizhou and told Liu Bei to wander again. If Liu Yi is also dizzy from Xiangyang to Yangpingguan, then there are not thousands of miles of heavy mountains, but also 800 miles, right? Could it be that they were teleported en masse? Entering from the direction of Xiliang? Now it is difficult for Ma Chao to lead the army to pass, is it possible? From the direction of Shaanxi, it is possible to pass through the Meridian Valley. However, if this is the case, then you can directly kill under Hanzhong City, why bother with Yangping Pass?
Liu Yi really doesn't understand, he really can't figure it out.
If Liu Yi really knew the historical Cao Cao and how his military horses arrived in front of Yangping Pass all of a sudden, then Liu Yi didn't have to worry now, I was afraid that at this time, he would have already taken Yizhou and Hanzhong.
If you are interested in this question, you may be able to study it.
Liu Yi passed through the mouth of the Danjiang River, went up the river, and arrived at Shangyong in a few days.
Guan Yu is still so graceful, except for a trace of melancholy that occasionally flashes in his always half-closed Danfeng's eyes, it seems to be no different from usual, he is dressed in a green robe, stepping down the fiery red red rabbit, holding the green dragon moon knife, looking particularly powerful.
Behind him, a young general is Guan Ping, a rather heroic young general, who has been with Guan Yu for a long time, and has also learned Guan Yu's composure, standing quietly behind Guan Yu, looking like an old man.
Standing side by side with Guan Yu was Wei Yan, who had a shaved head, and his bald head made his fierce face even more terrifying, and ordinary soldiers didn't seem to dare to look at his pair of fierce eyes.
"The last general, Guan Yu!"
"The last general, Wei Yan!"
"Guan Ping, Huo Rong, Lei Ming......"
"Greetings, Lord!"
Liu Yi got down from the warship, and Guan Yu, Wei Yan and other generals stepped forward and knelt down on one knee to greet him.
"Get up and go to the big tent of the Chinese army to discuss matters!"
Liu Yi stepped forward, helped Guan Yu and Wei Yan respectively, and waved to the generals.
When Liu Yi came here, he had already seen the situation in the Shangyongcheng area clearly.
Shangyong is an ancient place name, and the ancient Yong country is here.
The place is not large, it is a territory surrounded by mountains, and the Han River flows through it, dividing the small Shangyong into two parts: north and south.
But don't underestimate this place, it is one of the birthplaces of ancient Chinese civilization, and it is the cradle of Chinese culture like the ancient Yin Shang land in the Yellow River Valley. Driven by the glorious civilization, the ancient Yong Kingdom was once very prosperous.
The territory of Yong was larger than that of Qin and Zhou Zongji's feudal states and Ba states in the early days, and was on a par with the Chu state that rose in the south. When King Wu of Zhou divided the land, the largest Zongji country was only 100 li, the small one was only 50 li, Qin had only one Zhao city in the Spring and Autumn Period when Zhou Ping was king, the territory of Ba in the early Zhou Dynasty was limited to the east and north of Sichuan and the east, west and north of Chongqing, and the territory of Chu was limited to the Jianghan Plain to the east and south of Hubei and the north of Hunan. The ancient Yong Kingdom is a large country with a vast territory spanning the Yangtze River to the Han River.
Anyway, the ancient Yong Kingdom was once very prosperous, and then it was destroyed by Chu. However, it should be noted that the historical Guyong State was a powerful country that was not weaker than the Chu State, and was not a vassal state of Chu.
According to legend, Shangyong got its name from the allusion of Nuwa to make people out of the soil, refining stones to make up the sky, because of the soil, refining stones, the top of the spiritual mountain called "ladder of heaven" was flattened, "Gazetteer" said: "It is leveled, so it is said that Shangyong, is the ladder of mending the sky, in the west of Zhushan County today, Shangyong Mountain is also." ”
Mediocrity disturbs themselves, mediocrity bustling, mediocrity and inaction, and the mediocrity here comes from the mediocrity. Philistine people are synonymous with a group of people who have no talent, no ideals, and no wisdom. It's a bit derogatory.
However, it does not mean that mediocre people are all talentless, unidealistic, and unwise, and those idioms are just from some allusions. There are many more sayings that show that mediocrity is not simple.
The mediocre are also mediocre. Maintaining neutrality in China is the true meaning of Chinese culture. The foundation of Confucius's philosophy is deeply rooted in the word "moderation". The golden mean is not eclecticism, it is not the passivity of the mediocre to avoid the world, but the best attitude of life after understanding the deep true meaning of the great road of the universe, that is, "embracing the middle and keeping one" and achieving the liberation and transformation of no increase or decrease, no dirt and impurity, no birth and no destruction, and no good and no evil.
According to research, it was a philistine who invented Go. Shangyong, Yaoshi was the fief of his eldest son Danzhu, where Danzhu invented Go and fought with his father Emperor Yao in Danshuizhipu. Therefore, there is a saying that "Yao Shi is good at playing, and his sex is wild and cunning".
It is said that many tripods and bells of the Shang Dynasty are the masterpieces of mediocrity; Because of being good at building cities and houses, it is called "Yong people", and the history records that in 1059 BC, Zhou invited the Yong people to build the capital in Luoyi (the city wall of the ancient Yongfang city ruins of Huangcheng Village, Zhushan County, now stands after more than 3,000 years of wind and rain). This shows that the architectural art of the philistine is indeed very high; Yongren is also the earliest ancestor of tea drinking in historical materials, "tea style originates from Bashan Chu Shui". However, the most praised by the world is the level of military art of the mediocre, "only the mediocre are good at fighting, and Qin and Chu are invincible."
The mediocrity is a good witch, and the duan gong cures the disease, and its effect is miraculous, which is the legacy of antiquity!
……
There are legends about the mediocre and mediocre people, as well as their history and culture, etc., which are indeed incomparably brilliant.
It is precisely because of this that Liu Yi felt a little headache, and felt that he really couldn't just destroy the mediocrity if he had to properly deal with the problem of mediocrity.
Here, there are too many cultures, too many civilizations, and too many monuments, which are worth cherishing and protecting by Liu Yi, and this ancient city cannot be destroyed by war, and the inheritance of civilization here cannot be cut off.
However, now the mediocrity is really a mediocrity, he has been brainwashed by the Wudou Mi Sect, controlled by the Wudou Mi Sect, and is resolutely resisting his own New Han Army, so that Liu Yi has to carefully consider how to seize Shangyong City. (To be continued......)
