The road to Shu is so difficult that it is harder to reach the blue sky! There are thickets of silkworms and fish, how confused is the founding of the country! You are forty-eight thousand years old, and you are not in the vicinity of Qin Sai. There is a bird road in Taibai in the west.
It can cross the top of Emei. The earth collapses and the mountains kill the strong men, and then the stone stacks of the ladder are connected with each other. On the top is the high mark of the six dragons returning to the sun, and below is the rushing wave and the reverse return to the Sichuan. The yellow crane cannot fly over, and the ape wants to cross it.
I am worried about climbing. There are piles of green mud, and nine folds in a hundred steps are lingering on the rocky mountains. I went to the Lijing Well, raised my head, and sighed, stroking my head with my hands and sitting there sighing.
I asked you when will you return to the westward journey? I am afraid of the steep rocks and inaccessible rocks. But I saw mournful birds calling ancient trees, male and female flying around the forest. I also heard Zigui singing about the moon at night, worrying about the empty mountains. The road to Shu is difficult, it is difficult to climb to the blue sky, so people listen to this
Withered beauty! Even if the peaks are gone, the sky is not full, and withered pines hang upside down on the cliffs. The rushing waterfalls are noisy, and the cliffs turn into rocks and thousands of valleys are filled with thunder. The dangers are also like this. Those who have traveled a long way have come here for nothing!
The sword pavilion is majestic and Cui Wei, one man is in charge of the pass, and ten thousand men cannot open it. Those who are guarding or robbing relatives turn into wolves and jackals. Avoid tigers in the morning and long snakes at night. They grind their teeth to suck blood and kill people like hemp. Although Jincheng is full of joy,
It's better to return home early. The road to Shu is difficult than climbing to the sky. I turn to the west and look to the west to sigh!
This poem is Li Bai's "The Road to Shu is Difficult". The whole poem has one meaning: the road to Shu is difficult, and it is difficult to reach the sky!
Wen Tingyun of the Tang Dynasty also wrote about the difficulty of the road to Shu in "Twenty-two Rhymes of Passing the Huaqing Palace": "The early plum blossoms are sad for the road to Shu, and the tall trees separate Zhaoqiu."
In the past, Li Bai set out from Chengdu, passed through Luojiang County in Deyang, Zitong County in Mianyang, to Jiange County in Guangyuan, passed Jianmen Pass to Zhaohua, crossed the Jialing River, passed through Guangyuan and headed northeast to Ningqiang County in northern Shaanxi, and then passed through Mian County to Hanzhong.
Jinniu Road is also called Shu Zhan. Jinniu Road was the transportation trunk line between Sichuan and Shaanxi in ancient times. The section of this road from Guangyuan in northern Sichuan to Ningqiang in southern Shaanxi is very steep. The poet Li Bai praised "the road to Shu is difficult, and it is difficult to reach the sky", which refers to this section.
At this time, Feng Jiuxiao and others were walking on the plank road called the Golden Bull Road from Ning Qiang to Guangyuan.
With a steep mountain wall on one side and a bottomless cliff on the other, it is really difficult to reach the sky!
This winding and undulating plank road is not suitable for carriages to pass at all, so Chang Zijin and Li Erni also rode horses, plus Feng Jiuxiao, Liu Mizhou, Zeng Yong, and Big Wolf, a total of four men and two women
Six people and six riders. Although it was late autumn at this time, the wind was beautiful, the sun was clear, and there was still warmth.
Liu Miezhou said: "The weather is good today. But when you get to Chengdu, it's hard to see the sun. It's cloudy at least fifteen days a month!"
Zeng Yong asked: "Why is this happening? It's not close to the sea, so why are there so many clouds?" He knew that it rains almost three times a day in the southeastern coastal area! But the rain comes and disperses quickly. You can even see a single flower.
Small rain clouds drifted by, and people within a few hundred feet were getting wet, while others were being burned by the sun! It just so happens that the sun rises in the east and rains in the west. The Tao is ruthless but affectionate!
Liu Mizhou said quietly: "Although it is not close to the sea, it is very mountainous. Have you ever heard that the autumn ponds swell up when it rains at night in Bashan?"
Zeng Yong said: "You asked about the return date, but the night rain in Bashan swelled the autumn pond. Why should we cut the candles from the west window together, but say it rained in Bashan at night. This is Li Shangyin's "The Night Rain Sends to the North"."
Liu Mizhou nodded, "Poets have appeared in Sichuan since ancient times."
Feng Jiuxiao said at this time: "Do you know the story about Shu dogs barking at the sun?"
Chang Zijin said: "I know."
Feng Jiuxiao smiled and said, "Tell me and listen."
Chang Zijin said: "In the past, Liu Zongyuan wrote such an allusion in "Reply to Wei Zhongli on the Master's Book of Taoism". Qu Zifu said: The dogs in the city are barking, and the barking is strange. I went to hear Yong, in the south of Shu, there is constant rain.
After a few days, dogs will bark when the sun rises. Because there are so few sunny days, dogs will bark for a while when they see the sun!"
Feng Jiuxiao said: "Yes. Chengdu is indeed a magical place."
Chang Zijin said: "The name Chengdu is also very magical. I don't know why it is called Chengdu. Now, doesn't everyone call it Rongcheng?"
Feng Jiuxiao paused and said: "In the past, the enlightened dynasty of the Shu Kingdom moved its capital here. It was named Chengdu because it took one year to form a gathering, two years to form a city, and three years to form a city."
Chang Zijin said "Oh" and nodded.
Liu Mizhou went on to say: "Emperor Meng Chang of Western Shu loved hibiscus flowers and ordered the people in the city to plant hibiscus trees on the city walls. When the flowers bloom, forty miles of Chengdu are covered with beautiful scenery, so it is called Hibiscus City, or Rongcheng for short!"
Chang Zijin and Li Erni suddenly understood. Li Erni said: "I think Rongcheng sounds better! Forty Miles of Splendid, wow, the flowers are like a sea!" She seemed to be immersed in it.
Zeng Yongdao: "In addition to being called Rongcheng, I also know that Chengdu is called Jinguancheng."
Li Erni blinked her eyes, suddenly remembered, and said softly: "Good rain knows the season, and spring will happen. It sneaks into the night with the wind, moistening things silently. The wild paths are dark with clouds, and the fire on the river boats is bright. See the red at dawn.
In the wet place, flowers are heavy on Jinguan City. Du Fu mentioned Jinguan City in "Spring Night Joyful Rain"!"
Zeng Yong gave a thumbs up and praised Li Erni.
Bigwolf didn't know what they were talking about, but he felt that they all seemed to be very educated. In order not to appear embarrassed, he also pretended to look like "that's it".
Zeng Yong made no secret of his lack of knowledge, "I only know that it is called Jinguancheng, but I don't know its origin."
Feng Jiuxiao said nothing.
Seeing that he really had no intention of speaking, Liu Mizhou said: "Shu brocade has always been the best in the world, but people in the world don't know its beauty. After the Qin Dynasty entered Hangu Pass to unify the six countries, it ended by burning books and humiliating Confucians.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period when a hundred schools of thought contended, almost at the same time, Shu Jindong came out of the Baoxie Road and connected the ancient plank road of Yunzhan, starting the journey of Shu Jin to unify the Jinrus rivers and lakes! In 316 BC, King Hui of Qin sent General Sima Cuo to attack Shu.
, destroyed the ancient Shu Kingdom and the Ming Dynasty, established Shu County in Chengdu, and Shu brocade weaving began to flourish. In the Han Dynasty, the imperial court established an official brocade weaving agency and officials in charge of brocade weaving in Chengdu. From then on, Chengdu was also called Jinguancheng.
"
Everyone nodded to show that they were taught.
There was a suspended plank road under everyone's feet, and the horses' hooves made a hollow sound when they stepped on the wooden planks. Big Wolf inevitably asked again what a plank road was. This time, it was Liu Mizhou who explained it again.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Use tools to dig some prismatic holes on the cliff, insert stone piles or wooden piles into the holes, and lay wooden boards or stone slabs across them, which can be used by pedestrians and vehicles. This is
It is called a plank road. In order to prevent these wooden piles and planks from rotting due to rain, a pavilion, also known as a pavilion, was built on the top of the plank road. This is a pavilion, also known as a pavilion.
The coherent name is called Zhange Road, or Plank Road for short.
The plank road under our feet at this time is the Golden Bull Road built during the Qin Dynasty's conquest of Shu. It was called the South Plank Road by later generations and is hundreds of miles long!
Looking at the endless wooden piles and stone piles inserted into the cliff, Bigwolf sighed: "I didn't expect you Easterners to be so powerful. You could actually dig so many holes and build so many structures on this hard cliff."
How much manpower, material resources, and years would be needed for such a huge project?"
Liu Mizhou also said with emotion: "Yes! I don't know how many bones are buried under this cliff!"
Chang Zijin and Li Erni couldn't help but look at each other. Looking down, they saw white clouds that were so deep that they couldn't see the bottom. They thought to themselves: It's scary to walk on it, let alone work on it. When building a trestle bridge, materials need to be transported. On the cliff,
You can imagine how dangerous it is to work on the ground, excavate, drill holes, insert stakes, lay wooden planks, and then build corridors and pavilions! Those hard workers in the past have overcome many difficulties and obstacles and suffered what kind of sufferings? Who is willing to
Working risking their lives on the cliff? Indispensable are the stories of blood and tears of being forced by the army and being served with whips! I really can’t believe it, how many people have slipped and fallen into this bottomless valley and died alive!
Chang Zijin couldn't help but think of the time when the First Emperor sent General Meng Tian to move 600,000 prisoners from all over the world to build the Great Wall, which also resulted in countless casualties. It also led to the legend of "Meng Jiangnu cried down the Great Wall". He couldn't help but sigh, through the ages, it is really a "one story"
A history that will make all the bones dry up!”
Everyone walked forward. Feng Jiuxiao said: "Why is this plank road so important without soldiers guarding it?" He was a little surprised when he didn't see a Xishu soldier checking it along the way!
Liu Miezhou was still neither sullen nor angry, neither impatient nor irritable. He looked so melancholy that it could make a girl heartbroken. He said quietly: "How can defending here be as good as defending at the exit?"
Feng Jiuxiao was startled, then suddenly laughed and laughed at herself: "Yes, why didn't I think of that? It's true."
Defending at the exit of the plank road, waiting for work, with one man at the gate and no one able to open it, is naturally much more effective than setting up checkpoints and ambushes halfway along the way.
Therefore, only fools would attack from the plank road! The army rushed all the way from the plank road, and finally reached the end, only to find that the end of the road was heavily surrounded by enemy troops. They were in a dilemma. Wouldn't they be dumbfounded on the spot? Isn't this a thousand troops?
Take the single-plank bridge?
The so-called "one man can guard the gate but ten thousand men cannot open it" refers to the importance of terrain! Occupying a favorable location, a small number of defenders can completely withstand the advance of thousands of troops! Some people say, "I have more people, and those in front will die if they come behind."
!" But don't forget, if the people in front fall down, the road will be blocked, and the people behind will never even think about passing by! The person will say, "I will clean up the corpses and then attack." The enemy will only give
You sneered, "Are you here to fight or are you here to stick your ass out for cum?"
Looking at the swaying plank road, Feng Jiuxiao couldn't help but think of the words "Build the plank road openly and build it secretly" in Feng Jiuxiao's mind!
At the end of the Qin Dynasty, the second generation was dissolute and immoral, causing great chaos in the world. "Historical Records: Biography of the Marquis of Huaiyin": "Qin lost its deer, and the whole world chased it away." Liu Bang, the king of Han, took the lead in entering Guanzhong and attacked Xianyang. But Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu,
After entering Guanzhong, the honor guards and horses were strong, forcing Liu Bang to withdraw from Guanzhong! At the Hongmen Banquet, Liu Bang almost died! Fortunately, his subordinate Fan Kuai was "urinary", and Xiang Yu was indecisive and did not listen to old man Fan Zeng's advice, so he finally suffered.
Fortunately, the cunning Liu Bang was not retained. After Liu Bang escaped by chance, he had to retreat back to Hanzhong. In order to paralyze Xiang Yu, Liu Bang burned all the plank roads from Hanzhong to Guanzhong when he retreated, expressing to the world that he would not return to Guanzhong.
In 206 BC, Liu Bang felt that his wings were getting harder and harder, and he no longer wanted to settle in a corner and fight against Xiang Yu, so he sent his general Han Xin to attack Xiang Yu. Before the expedition, Han Xin sent many soldiers to repair what had been burned down.
After hearing the news, the Guanzhong defenders paid close attention to the progress of repairing the plank road, and sent the main force to strictly guard the fortresses at various pass points on this route, hoping to block the eastward advance of the Han army.
As a result, Han Xin "built a plank road openly and secretly visited Chen Cang", overthrew Zhang Han in one fell swoop and pacified the Three Qin Dynasties! From then on, Liu Bang finally had the foundation for a showdown with Xiang Yu in Guanzhong!
If Han Xin really attacked from the plank road, he would definitely die.
But on the other hand, Zhang Han actually sent heavy troops to guard the plank road. It was completely stupid. The enemy came from the plank road? He only needed to rain arrows in front of the exit to kill and block the enemy. How could Han Xin defend such a narrow space? In case Han Xin could still break through.
, then use rockets to burn the exit trestle and cut off its approach. The Han army will be defeated without attacking! It can be seen that Han Xin’s success is really thanks to the exquisite cooperation of Zhang Han and countless other enemies!
But then again, Feng Jiuxiao couldn't help but feel sorry for Han Xin. He was such a magical and powerful person back then. He was all-powerful and invincible. How could he die so cowardly? He was actually killed by Empress Lu. What a pity!
Is there any opponent in the world at that time? No! Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi can compete with him, but Han Xin is invincible! How terrifying to be an enemy? How enviable to have such a subordinate, what a pity, human destiny
It's really amazing. When he was the king of Qi, he could have taken the opportunity to conquer the world. Unfortunately, I don't know what this man who can endure "crotch humiliation" thinks. He seems to be less and less a loyal person, so why did he do it to Liu Bang?
What if he can't be ruthless? Is it really God's will? He was naturally defeated when facing Liu Bang? Liu Bang, a big gangster, was born to be a "general"? He specifically restrained these "generals"? What a trick of fate!
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After walking for dozens of miles, I finally encountered a post station in front of me. This post station was built in a mountain col. The trestle bridge happened to be interrupted here, and the mountain col was
It is like a joint that connects the plank road on the other side of the mountain col, just like the beacon tower on the Great Wall.
There are dozens of Xishu soldiers stationed in the mountain col. There are granaries, fresh water from mountain springs, horses used to transmit intelligence, and all logistics supplies are available.
There was a lot of sparse smoke rising from the mountains, and it looked like this should be a village.
Looking at the endless green mountains, and then looking at the abyss on the other side, Chang Zijin couldn't help but shake his head and said: "It's really unimaginable to live in such an inaccessible place. There is no village in front of it and no shop in the back. It is really too remote.
!”
But Feng Jiuxiao said: "Since ancient times, there have been many wandering clouds and wild cranes who are willing to live in this paradise-like place. The so-called big hermits are hidden in the court, and the small hermits are hidden in the mountains. Maybe these people are those who have seen through the world and stay away from the hustle and bustle, or who have not been recognized for their talents.
, temporarily living in this deep mountain and old forest."
Chang Zijin said: "You can end up in a place like this without finding any talent? It's really unimaginable. Zhuge Liang only lived in seclusion in the suburbs, so that Liu Bei could easily find him. Otherwise, if he heard that it was a place like this, Liu Bei would not come even if he was beaten to death.
.”
Feng Jiuxiao nodded and said: "Zhuge Wuhou didn't really live in seclusion back then, he was just 'Jiang Taigong fished, and those who wished would take the bait.' If Jiang Ziya couldn't wait for King Wen of Zhou, Jiang Ziya would just sit there and wait to die for the rest of his life. Zhuge Liang didn't want anyone to take the bait,
They even took the initiative to withdraw the network!”
Chang Zijin's eyes widened, but unfortunately it was covered by a power fence and no one could see him, "Withdraw the network?"
Feng Jiuxiao smiled and said: "Zhuge Wolong's name is not something that happened after meeting Liu Bei. If a person really wants to remain anonymous, who can know his existence? It's obvious. Asking people to publicize his name everywhere, even if it's not straightforward
At this point, at least he has participated in all the activities of local celebrities, otherwise how can he become famous all over the world?"
Everyone thinks that although Feng Jiuxiao's idea is strange, it makes sense. Yes, since he is a hermit, why is he still so famous? What is it if he is not deliberately waiting for a price? What is he but casting a net?
Several Xishu soldiers were drinking wine. One of them seemed to be the leader of the group. When he saw six people coming on horseback, he immediately shouted with raised eyebrows: "Hey! Where are you guys from? What are you doing?
go?"
Liu Mizhou suddenly raised his right hand and showed a gold medal without saying a word.
The young official had a good eye and recognized the origin of this brand. He immediately nodded and bowed and said with a smile: "It turns out to be Mr. Hou. I hope you can calm down. I'm a little blind, and I can't see Mount Tai for a while."
Liu Miezhou said calmly: "Mount Tai is in the territory of Great Zhou. You are a citizen of Great Shu. It is normal that you don't know him."
The officer could tell that the Marquis was making a joke on him, and his face suddenly turned red, "If you want it, if you don't mind it, just take a rest here. I'd like to give you a drink!"
The other soldiers immediately shouted: "Yao De, Yao De!" They all had Sichuan accents, which sounded quite charming.
Liu Mizhou actually still has feelings for the people of Xishu. After all, he grew up in Xishu.
The people of Xishu have always been generous. After all, it is a land of abundance. There is no need to worry about food and drink, and people are naturally hospitable. In addition, the geographical environment also encourages some people here to develop an optimistic spirit that is not afraid of the most difficult and dangerous obstacles.
Liu Miezhou looked at Chang Zijin and Li Erni and said, "Okay." He and Feng Jiuxiao had already formed a tacit understanding. When it comes to who should make the decision, whoever should make the decision will avoid being taken advantage of by outsiders. Especially at this time.
In the border of Western Shu, it was not suitable for Feng Jiuxiao to come forward. Liu Miezhou, Chang Zijin and Li Erni were already hungry, but they were too embarrassed to speak. It was really inappropriate for him to have no reaction at this time.
The few soldiers were naturally happy and took out the private wine "Jian Nanchun" and invited the Marquis to taste it.
The small table is not big, but fortunately there are several tables that make up a big table.
In front of Tianhuang noble Liu Mizhou, everyone naturally did not dare to be too presumptuous, and they were all extremely polite. They had all heard that the Marquis' purple jade magic power was ranked among the top ten in Shu!
The young officer pointed to the dishes on the table and said, "Master Marquis, this is hare meat, this is bamboo shoot tips, this is Zhang Fei beef, and this is kimchi. It's really crude and disrespectful."
Liu Mizhou said calmly: "It seems like something good is missing, right?"
The young officer was startled, and immediately slapped his forehead and shouted behind him: "Bring the Pixian Douban!" He turned around and said with a smile: "Master Marquis, I'm afraid that the smell of that thing will be too strong and offend some fairies."
Liu Miezhou said: "Since we have arrived in Shuzhong, we naturally want to try the good things here. This is called grounding!"
