Chapter 009: Bashu turned his eyes again
readx;
During the Warring States Period, there were several major states in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, in present-day Chongqing and Sichuan: Ba, Shu, Chong, Tho, and Yun. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Tho country is only in the making at this time, to be precise, a conspiracy is brewing.
The country of Yun is an ancient country, is the descendants of Yunnan Yuanmou ape people in the buffer zone between the country of Ba and Shu, a country established in the west of the Fujiang River basin, according to the southern area of Daying County, Santai County, Zhongjiang County, Lezhi County, Shehong County, after the Shangshu War, the Bashu War.
In order to survive in the gap between the two countries of Bashu and constantly migrate, today's Santai Yunjiang Town, Daying Penglai Town, and Zhongjiang Cangshan Town, Yuncheng Village, have all served as the capital of the country.
The state of Yu curryed favor with both sides of Bashu, and they did not dare to offend, and the impact on the situation was almost negligible.
Chongguo, the scope is in the whole territory of Nanchong City, the southwest of Bazhong City, the west of Guang'an City and part of the southeast of Mianyang City. The capital of Chongguo is in Langzhou (now Langzhong City). From the middle of the Spring and Autumn Period to the middle of the Warring States period, the Chongguo existed for about 270 years, and was passed down to 14 generations of kings.
Originally, the country was separated from Pakistan and once posed a threat to the country, so Pakistan was the enemy of the country for generations.
And Pakistan and Shu have a deep relationship. At this time, the Shu State was the Kaiming Dynasty, and the ruler was the Turtle Lingren.
"Silkworms and fish, how blank is the founding of the country! Forty-eight thousand years old, not with Qin Saitong", it is the ancient Shu Kingdom.
In 1057 B.C., Du Yu, the king of Yu, participated in the war of King Wu, known as Shu. Due to the outbreak of floods in the territory of the ancient Shu Kingdom, the Shu king of the Yu clan appointed Du Ling as the prime minister to control the flood. Du Ling was called "Turtle Spirit" because of his excellent completion of the task.
Therefore, the king of Shu gave the Zen position to the turtle spirit in his old age. Du Ling became the new king of Shu and built the capital of Piyi (now Pixian County, Chengdu), known as the Enlightened Emperor, also known as the Cong Emperor. However, this may be just a beautiful Zen story that has been used as a so-called precedent by later generations of conspirators, but it is actually the turtle spirit people who entered the territory of Shu and overthrew the Yuyu Dynasty and established the Enlightened Dynasty.
The capital of Shu was later moved to Fanxiang (present-day Shuangliu County), Guangdu, and around the middle of the 5th century BC, the capital was moved from Fanxiang to present-day Chengdu during the ninth reign of the Enlightened Dynasty.
According to the research of later generations, the turtle Ling tribe is a branch of the Ba people, because the Chu State later occupied the Ba land, forming this misunderstanding.
Therefore, it can also be said that the rulers of the two countries are of the same race and different currents, but the two countries have always had enmity, and the root cause lies in the territorial dispute, which is an irreconcilable contradiction in ancient and modern China and foreign countries, and only when a common enemy appears, it is possible to take joint action temporarily.
There is a local saying: press the gourd and scoop it up. As soon as the people of Chu retreated, the contradictions between Ba and Shu surfaced at the same time. The Shu army, which also stole chickens and failed to lose rice, retreated to the border of Bashu, under the pretext of rectifying the army, did not leave the country for several months, often disturbed the people, and the food and clothing were forcibly taken from the Bashu tribes, and the people's grievances were rising.
The lord of Ba was repaid, he was very angry, and ordered the envoy to evacuate to Shudu, and the lord of Shu did not finish listening, and said angrily: "The Ba barbarian asked me to help him fight the Chu State, and he returned defeated, with countless casualties needless to say, how much grain and grass and weapons were lost, internal and external uses, the capital of the guests, and how much property was spent, and he gave me a good calculation?"
"Now that he has taken a breath of rest in his territory, he has come to urge his life, what is the reason! Even if it is to compensate me for a Jiangzhou, I still have to decorate the book and go back to report: I have no intention of withdrawing!"
The lord was drinking water, listening to the messenger's report, seven orifices smoked, smashed the tiger swallowing the elephant carved water cup in his hand, and said angrily: "Am I losing less than him?
The lord of Ba gathered all the people and prepared to use force. The crowd rubbed their hands together and breathed evil breath.
Seeing the dignitaries speak, they couldn't do without the word "war", and the young general Ba Xiu, who followed the second son Basian from the capital and won the favor of Basian anymore, couldn't help but offer advice:
"It's easy to please God, but it's hard to send God. I heard the rumors that the soldiers were plotting, followed by the soldiers, and then the soldiers. From the beginning of Qin Ligong, Qin and Shu had a dispute over Nanzheng, and for many years, Qin took Nanzheng, and was recaptured by Shu, and the Qin people hated it so much. The humble general thought that there was no need to use a large army, but only needed to send an envoy to bribe the Qin people, so that the Qin State threatened to send troops to take Nanzheng, and the Shu people went by themselves. β
As soon as the words landed, before they could rebound, the prince Banan An said angrily: "Who are you? How can you speak above the temple! Do you understand the rules!"
The lord of Ba said: "My two families are separated, and the braincase is broken, and there is no need for the plague god of Qin to help." β
The two countries fought several small battles in Pakistan, and it was difficult to distinguish the victory or defeat for a while, and the war stopped. Just after the great defeat of the Zonbia side, both countries want to end the war as soon as possible, but they would rather lose the war than lose face.
War is not, peace is not, the secretary of state Shang Shang entered the palace and said to the lord of Pakistan: "I just got a serious illness, don't hold on." Besides, the battlefield is in my territory, the broken bowls and bowls, the destroyed grass and trees, all of them are ours, and when the time comes, the people of Shu will leave as soon as they slap their buttocks. It's better to be honest than Ba Xiu's words, to make the Qin State. β
Sure enough, the Shu army did not fight, all withdrew to the Shu realmββ- don't think that Ba Xiu's strategy played a decisive role, the key role was that King Zhou An died, and his son Ji Xi ascended the throne, that is, King Zhou Lie, and the news spread to Bashu.
Because of this incident, the alliance against Chu that had just been established by the two neighboring countries completely collapsed, and many years of grievances and grievances were not resolved, and new feuds were formed.
After that, Ba and Chu were fighting for salt springs, forming a tug-of-war, and finally the Chu State completely controlled the Yishui area, and at the farthest time, it advanced from several directions to the vicinity of Qipo Mountain and Xiaoguan, which is known as the "Ten Thousand Miles City Wall", and then shrank to the Yicheng line.
At that time, the navigation technology was limited, and the conquest of the Yangtze River, especially the Three Gorges, was still a huge difficulty, that is, the dispute between Wu and Chu in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, from the Huai River to the Huai River, from the Yangtze River to the less, and almost parallel to the Yangtze River Yishui (Qingjiang) and its line was an important passage between Bashu and Chu, and naturally it was also an important channel for military offensive and counteroffensive.
The Chu army took Yicheng and controlled Yishui, posing a serious threat to the Danfushui basin of Baguo and a large area of land such as Quren (now Wanzhou and Yunyang), and the Ba people built passes in different directions or used mountain dangers to counter the threat, among which there was an important pass in the direction of Yushui, called Xiaoguan.
Xiaoguan, that is, Xiaoguan in Xuan'en, Hubei Province, was simplified to "Xiaoguan", and during the Anti-Japanese War, it was renamed "Xiaoguan" to show light and auspiciousness. Xiao, that is, Liao bamboo, alias Zheng bamboo, Zongba bamboo, long-eared bamboo, Zongye bamboo, etc., the Liao bamboo that is all over the mountains and fields here, so it is called "Xiaoguan".
Today, it is a Dong township.
In the history of Pakistan, Xiaoguan is not as famous as Hanguan, Yangguan, Chuguan and Jiangguan, but it is an important pass for Ba and Chu to compete for Yushui Salt Spring.
At that time, the tree is big and the forest is deep, the traffic is extremely inconvenient, it is not like now extending in all directions, Xiaoguan has a passage to the ancient road of Yan, just use the soldiers, and it is the place where it is necessary to rush into the shape of victory, it is the place where the south enters Hunan and Guizhou, and the north goes to Bashu, and it falls into the hands of the Chu people.
After temporarily driving away the Chu people, the Ba people hurriedly built a strong fortress in the dangerous place, and took Xiaoguan, Shicheng (the area from Shicheng to Jiamachi), and Tingziguan, which is as famous as Xiaoguan, as the three barriers in front of Yushui Salt Spring (the Ba people called the "two passes and one city" of Yushui defense line).
Shicheng is an ancient city with a long history, which is now Ba Town, Qianjiang County, Chongqing, located at the confluence of the Apeng River and the Duanxi River.
In the sixth year of Han Jian'an (201 AD), Danxing County (Later Qianjiang County) was placed in Shicheng, and the seat of governance was in the county dam. From the first year of Emperor Taishi of Jin Wu (265 AD) to the first year of Taikang (280 AD), Fuling County and Danxing County were placed in the county dam; in the fourth year of Baoding in the Northern Zhou Dynasty (564 AD), Yongzhou was placed, and the state and county offices were both placed in the county dam; at the beginning of the Sui Dynasty, Yongzhou was abolished and Danxing County was changed to Shicheng County, and the governance office was still placed in the county dam.
Shicheng is the most important military camp in the Danfu River Basin, which is directly subordinate to the camp of the capital of Fangdu.
This measure, or reform, of establishing camps and cantonment troops, took shape in the Spring and Autumn Period, when whenever there was a war, the lord of Pakistan personally led the troops and sent his own clan disciples to the border or important places to garrison, which had two functions: one was to defend against foreign enemies, and the other was to deal with civil strife in the nearby area in a timely manner.
The source of soldiers in the barracks is mainly from the Ba clan.
In the Warring States Period, the internal contradictions became more and more acute, especially when the people of Chu brought up weapons, Shicheng and Batong, the two important barracks in the southeast of Ba, quietly changed, in addition to the children of the clan are still the backbone, and the local tribes also draw samurai, but each tribe will not send the strongest samurai for their own interests, but in low-status and difficult families and families with more men, and even send slaves to fill the number.
The generals in the barracks have also changed, in addition to the Ba clan, most of the noble children of the other four clans of Wuluo Zhongli Mountain have held important positions.
Although there is no single warrior with the most top-notch martial arts in the Shicheng military camp, because it is similar to the standing army, under strict training, strict discipline, action, strong execution, high tactical literacy, and strong overall combat ability, it is difficult for Danfushui and even any tribe in Pakistan to compete with it alone.
Tingziguan is located in the necessary place of the land transportation route of Yushui salt, in today's Yushan Town, Pengshui County.
Today, Yushui Tingzi Pass, compared with the Tingzi Pass in the territory of Phoenix in Hunan, which is known as the starting point of the Great Wall in the south, is unknown, but in Pakistan at that time, women and children all know that it is like the three major salt springs in Pakistan, buried by the dust of history.
