Dangyang County is also an important town in the south of Jingzhou, but its status is far from being comparable to the military towns of Jiangling and Xiangfan, which are the seat of Jingzhou Prefecture. Because it is located in the south of the Jingshan Mountain Range, it is called "dangyang". There is also a little common sense in this, which is the so-called "theory of yin and yang" in ancient times.

The theory of yin and yang began in Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching", the ancients observed various opposing and related natural phenomena in nature, such as heaven and earth, sun and moon, day and night, cold and heat, men and women, up and down, etc., and summarized the concept of "yin and yang" in a philosophical way of thought. In today's parlance, it's a "contradictory relationship".

The ancients believed that all things in heaven and earth were formed by the mutual growth and restraint of yin and yang. Therefore, everything in the world must be divided into yin and yang. For example, when a man is masculine, complimenting a man often means that the person is "masculine". and admiring women, they say that women have "feminine beauty". Of course, in addition to men and women, these mountains and rivers also have yin and yang.

The so-called "the south of the mountain is yang, and the north of the mountain is yin". That's what we're talking about. Because in the Northern Hemisphere, the sun's rays always come from the south. So the south side is generally sun-facing. Therefore, Chinese people usually build houses facing south and facing north, so as to facilitate lighting. This principle is applied here to the south of the mountain, which is usually a sunny slope. Therefore, the ancients usually called the south of the mountain yang, and the north of the mountain with the back of the yang is yin.

"Dangyang" used to be a place where the descendants of the Shang Dynasty lived and reproduced, and the descendants of the Shang Dynasty king Wu Ding once established a power country here. However, in the Spring and Autumn Period of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, it was eliminated by King Wu of Chu in the northward expansion of the Chu State. From this time on, Dangyang became the territory of the Chu State.

During the Warring States Period, the Qin State gradually emerged after the Shang Dynasty changed its law, and continued to expand its power to the east. In the twenty-ninth year of King Zhaoxiang of Qin (278 BC), Bai Qi, the general of Qin, led a large army to attack Chu and captured the capital of Chu "Ying", which was later known as Jiangling City. A county was established in Gangneung, that is, "Nam-gun". Dangyang County was set up as a territory of Nanjun, which continues to this day.

It belongs to the remaining veins of Jingshan Mountain, and the Gangling area formed by the southward branch of Jingshan Mountain, which was called "Dangyang Changsaka" in ancient times, or "Dangyang Ban". In ancient times, this place was near Yunmengze, although the lake surface was deposited as land later, but at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were still many waterlogged land, and the water network was vertical and horizontal. Therefore, Changbanpo has been a necessary place for China's north-south transportation arteries since ancient times. This is also an important reason why Young Master Zhuge would suggest that Father Zhuge choose to ambush Cao Jun here!

"Report - Cao Ren's army is only a hundred miles away from Dangyang!" Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun arrived in Dangyang County one step ahead of Cao Ren and immediately began to deploy preparations for an ambush against Cao Ren. At this time, the sentinel came to report that Cao Ren's army was also approaching Dangyang.

"Brother, although the repeater invented by the military advisor is amazingly powerful, there are steep cliffs on both sides of the Jingshan Mountain Road, and the cliffs on both sides are close to each other, if you launch the repeater from the cliff, the power of the repeater will be greatly reduced!"

"Zilong is right, I also noticed this! There is a lot of gravel on the cliffs on both sides, and throwing gravel from the cliffs is even more powerful! The repeater is suitable for use when facing enemy cavalry head-on, and this is the only way to get the most out of it! ”

"I have a plan, I don't know if it's feasible!"

"Oops! When is it? Are you still spitting? "Zhang Fei is an anxious person, and he can't stand the grinding and chirping of others.

"Look, brother! After the Jingshan Mountain Road, and then go forward for more than a mile, it is Nagasaka Slope! There is a wide view there, which makes it easy for cavalry to deploy! We can lead Cao Jun there to fight them in a decisive battle! What do you think? ”

"Hahaha, okay! Zilong, I really didn't see it! I thought you would charge into battle, you were a brave and unscrupulous guy! I didn't expect it to be a resource! Not bad, not bad! Hahaha! Zhang Fei patted Zhao Yun's shoulder and smiled at the same time. Zhao Yun is so depressed! Zhang Fei, a reckless man who has always been known for his "no brains in war", actually laughed at his courage and lack of strategy, this grievance! Zhao Yun was helpless and could only smile wryly!

"Since my brother agrees, I'll arrange it!"

"Good! Go ahead! ”

After the two discussed, Zhao Yun and Liu Feng led 10,000 horses, abandoned their horses, hiked up the mountain, and laid ambushes on the steep cliffs on both sides of the Jingshan Mountain Road, preparing gravel, rolling wood and other ambushes. When everything was ready, he leaned down and lay in ambush in the grass on the cliff. Waiting for Cao Jun's arrival! For fear of making a noise and being discovered by Cao Jun, Zhao Yun ordered all the soldiers to have a leaf in their mouths. When everything was arranged, Zhao Yun squatted in the grass, pressing the gravel in front of him with one hand, supporting his half-kneeling body. One hand pressed the saber hanging from his waist. He stretched his neck and looked into the distance.

"It's coming! Here it comes! General Zhao is here! A small school whispered excitedly.

", what do you mean General Zhao is here! It's Cao Jun here! You straight thief, who made you yell? If the target is exposed! Lao Tzu plucked your head! "It's actually very interesting to say that the ancients cursed people. For example, Zhao Yun's sentence "straight mother thief". Straight through "value", is the meaning of "selling", a kind of small wine shop without seats in the countryside of the Han Dynasty, called "direct sales store", so the "straight" of "straight thief" takes the meaning of "direct sale", which refers to "the dog thief who does not know the shame and sells his mother".

Hearing Zhao Yun's scolding, Xiao Xiao hurriedly shut up and didn't dare to speak. Zhao Yun stretched his neck and looked into the distance. Sure enough, I saw smoke and dust billowing from the northeast. A group of people and horses went straight to Jingshan Mountain Road.

"Ge Laozi! Lao Tzu is waiting for you! Attention! No one is allowed to do it without my orders! Listen to the sound of the cannon! Smash me hard! Don't give me stones! When you're done, lead the horse and follow me down the mountain! Remember, if you retreat with one charge, no one is allowed to fight for Lao Tzu! Having won this battle, Lao Tzu will go back and invite you to drink! Did you hear it? ”

"I heard you!"

"Okay, get ready for battle!"

So is the group of people galloping down the mountain Cao Ren's department? It was indeed Cao Ren's cavalry. In order not to give Liu Bei a chance to breathe, Cao Ren, Li Dian, and Wen Ping, after receiving Cao Cao's order, selected more than 20,000 elite cavalry in the army overnight, and went straight to Jiangling day and night. At this time, Cao Ren's department had been running day and night for three days and three nights. The men and horses were already tired, and the sentinel reported that Dangyang County was more than ten miles ahead. Cao Renzhi said that the army really needed to rest now. So he ordered the whole army to speed up the journey, preparing to rush to Dangyang County before sunset to rest for the night. Continue on your way tomorrow. I didn't want that evil Liu Xuande to be so unkind, so he sent Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun, two evil stars, to wait for him here. However, at this time, of course, Cao Ren did not know this, and the continuous march also made him very tired. His biggest wish now is probably to sleep in Dangyang County. It's not easy to be a soldier!

"Report - General, the front is Dangyang County!"

"Good! Summons the whole army and speed up the journey! We're going to rest tonight! Continue the march tomorrow! ”

"Yes!" The outpost officer took the order and left. Cao Jun went straight to Dangyang non-stop. After about a cup of tea, the march marched to the front of the Jingshan Mountain Road.

Cao Ren looked up and saw that the two steep cliffs on both sides of Jingshan were facing each other, and the cliff walls were bare. The cliffs on both sides are dozens of feet high. Yangguan is blocked by cliffs, and wild grasses are overgrown on the mountain road. Cao Ren reined in the horse, slowly beat the horse in, and looked left and right. Li Dian was originally leading the rear army. At this time, the front suddenly slowed down the march, I don't know what is going on? Then he struck his horse and trotted to the front of the army.

"General Zixiao, what's wrong? Why don't you go? ”

"Mancheng, come and see! The mountains here are dangerous, the grass is dense and the valleys are deep, do you think Liu Bei will beat us back here? "Cao Ren is a veteran of the battlefield after all. The long battle on the battlefield has made him develop an extremely sensitive intuition about danger. Although this intuition does not make much sense, Cao Ren believes that this intuition is right, because this intuition has saved his life on the battlefield many times!

"Hahaha, I think the general is too worried! Now Liu Cong surrendered, and Jingzhou was annexed. Liu Bei lost the shelter of Jingzhou, like a lost dog. It's too late to escape, so how can you have the heart to ambush us? Besides, the news of the Prime Minister's imminent army must have already reached Gangneung! If Liu Bei is actively renovating the city defenses and mobilizing men and horses to defend the city, where would he dare to raid hundreds of miles alone to attack us here? Li Dian was unimpressed by Cao Ren's concerns.

Although Cao Ren was apprehensive about Liu Bei because he suffered his big loss last time, he had palpitations. But after listening to Li Dian's analysis, he felt that it was very reasonable, and nodded, "Man Cheng is reasonable!" Maybe it's really me who is worried! Cao Ren waved his hand and motioned to the signalman to order the whole army to move on.

Cao's army continued to advance and went straight to the Jingshan Mountain Road. Zhao Yun on the mountain was overjoyed when he saw it.

Xiaojing is ready to sign a contract, and he will finish writing it after signing the contract! But there are not enough flowers! Please, please give me some flowers! 20 flowers a day, I'll add a more chapter!
