Liu Kefu, Liu Zhongyuan, Liu Xingfu, and Liu Hanfu have many similarities.

First of all, they all lived in the late Eastern Han Dynasty to the Three Kingdoms period, and they all worked as officials in Shu Han. Although their official positions were not very high, the death time of the four people was very close.

But these are not particularly important common points. Chen Jing really thinks that the common point that points to the whereabouts of the Chixiao Sword is the location of the cemetery of the four people recorded in the genealogy.

These four people were all buried near Kongtong Mountain in Weizhou, Gansu Province!

The significance of this common point is so obvious that it cannot be more obvious. Since the four people are related to the clues of the Chixiao Sword, they all chose their cemetery near Kongtong Mountain in Ganzhou, and there must be special reasons.

As far as Chen Jing’s opinion is concerned, the reason may be that the Chixiao Sword is hidden in Kongtong Mountain!

Why do you infer this way?

The reason is very simple. Where is Gansu Province? In the Three Kingdoms period, Gansu Province was called Longxi. At that time, this place was not the rule of Shu Han, but was the territory of Wei.

However, Liu Kefu and the other two did not choose their cemetery within the territory of Shu Han, but instead took risks and dangers to choose within the territory of Wei. It is basically impossible to say that there is no special reason.

Why choose the cemetery or the hiding location of the Chixiao Sword in Longxi? This may be related to their names or long-cherished wishes.

Overcome the Central Plains and restore the Han Dynasty!

For the entire Shuhan Group at that time, the land of Longxi represented the hope of restoring the Central Plains and restoring the Han Dynasty!

In "Longzhong Pair", Zhuge Liang designed a strategic plan for Liu Bei to pacify the world, that is, to occupy Jingzhou and Yizhou first, and when the time is right, divide the troops into two groups, one army from Yizhou to Qinchuan, capture the land of Longxi and Guanzhong, and the other army from Jingzhou to the north to Luoyang, so that the major event can be settled!

"Longzhong Pair" is a major policy designed for Liu Bei for Zhuge Liang to seize the world. When Liu Bei started his business, Zhuge Liang was already thinking about conquering the land of Longxi. It can be seen that the land of Longxi is in Zhuge Liang's heart for overcoming the Central Plains to restore the Han Dynasty!

What's more, after the establishment of Shu Han, God was willing to do anything, and Jingzhou was lost. For Shu Han, the loss of Jingzhou was hard to accept, and almost cut off the hope of overcoming the Central Plains to restore the Han Dynasty. In this case, if you want to retain a glimmer of hope, you must obtain the land of Longxi.

This order, in fact, can be seen from Zhuge Liang's later strategic policies that he gave up other goals and only targeted the land of Longxi. His six out-of-Qishan Mountains were all for the purpose of winning the land of Longxi for Shu Han. Unfortunately, he went out of Qishan Mountains six out-of-Qishan Mountains and returned in vain!

So how important is Longxi? Why can it be said to be the last hope of the entire Shuhan Group?

Because the strategic significance of Longxi is too important and critical for both Wei and Shu Han.

First of all, Longxi not only has an unstoppable momentum towards Guanzhong, but also a condescending and unstoppable momentum towards Hanzhong and Bashu. In other words, Longxi is the "claw" that Wei State can easily restrain the development of Shu Han.

Because Longxi's terrain is higher than Hanzhong, it is difficult to attack Longxi from Hanzhong and Bashu, but it is easier to attack from Longxi. Therefore, as long as the land of Longxi is in the hands of Wei, it is a great threat to Shu. Therefore, Zhuge Liang has to fight to the death even if he goes out to Qishan six times, which is better than waiting to die.

Later, Jiang Weijiu's intention to attack the Central Plains was also in Longxi, because the land of Longxi could not only solve the safety of Shu Han itself, but also in turn posed a great threat to the Guanzhong region of Wei.

The most important thing is that if Longxi can be used as a military base and the world's granary in the land of Tianfu in the middle of Shu as the rear, when you encounter another good opportunity, you may really have hope of recapturing the Central Plains and reviving the Han Dynasty!

There is no way. After Jingzhou was lost, the entire Shuhan Group knew that in a strategic sense, they had no other choice. Only by conquering Longxi land would they have a glimmer of hope, or they would just sit back and wait for death.

Among them, Zhuge Liang probably knew this the most clearly and understands. Many people said that he did not take Wei Yan's "Ziwu Valley Strategy" back then was too cautious and a wrong decision. What about it?

Wei Yan's "Ziwu Valley Strategy" simply means to directly attack Guanzhong and take Chang'an. But for Shu Han, what can he do if he takes Chang'an? With the power of Shu Han at that time, it was not enough to destroy Wei State. Later, Wei State could also mobilize Longxi troops to condescend to join forces with Luoyang troops to attack. What should Shu Han do?

Therefore, Zhuge Liang insisted on sending troops to Qishan, taking the land of Longxi, and then waiting for the time to ripe, and even future generations to complete the great cause of overcoming the Central Plains to revive the Han Dynasty!

Of course, Zhuge Liang's idea was not realized until his death, and even when Shu Han was destroyed, they could not successfully seize the land of Longxi.

During this decades, for those in the Shuhan Group who truly had the ambition and hoped to recover the Central Plains and revival the Han Dynasty, the land of Longxi would really have an obsession.

Liu Kefu and the other four died almost around the fifteenth year of Yanxi. This was Liu Chan's second year name. At that time, Zhuge Liang and Wei Yan were both dead.

In other words, Wei Yan, the "sword protector" of Chixiao Sword, has been dead for many years, and Liu Kefu and the four of them are related to the clues given by the God of Treasure Appraisal, which means that after that, the Chixiao Sword is likely to fall into their hands, and the four of them are "Han clan relatives", so this possibility is still very high.

When the four of them were about to die, they might have already realized that Shu Han had no hope of rescuing the Central Plains and restoring the Han Dynasty, so they chose to hide the Chixiao Sword to wait for the times, hoping that new people who have the opportunity and like to restore the Han Dynasty would appear.

Just like Emperor Guangwu of Han, Liu Xiu!

It’s a pity that after Liu Bei and Liu Xuande, it took hundreds of years to release a Liu Yu and Liu Jinu who was so angry that he had been living in the world. It’s a pity that by that time, people in the world no longer had much thoughts about the Liu family, and even the name of Liu Yu himself as emperor was not used as the “Han”.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that the Chixiao Sword was not handed over to Liu Yu.

The location where Liu Kefu and the other four chose to hide the Chixiao Sword was the place where the entire Shuhan Group had been obsessed for decades, and Longxi was the current Gansu Province.

As for why I chose Kongtong Mountain, maybe I was attracted by its steepness and could better hide the Chixiao Sword.

The Chixiao Sword is very likely to be hidden in Kongtong Mountain in Ganzhou Province. This is Chen Jing’s inference in his mind at this moment, and it is also the possibility that the most likely is.
