Chapter 634: A Journey To Jiangling
Chapter 634: Walking in Jiangling without moving
According to the origin of the Red Cliff, it is said that Liu Bang, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, was the son of Emperor Chi. He killed the snake and established the foundation of the Han Dynasty for four hundred years. Although he followed the Qin system, he had his own set of rules for the naming of place names. At that time, this rule was to determine the direction based on Yin and Yang and Five Elements, the twenty-eight constellations, and to use "red" color as the best.
In the sixth year of Emperor Gaozu of Han Dynasty, when the county magistrate Mei Chi began to investigate the mountains, rivers and rivers in the territory, and found many nameless place names. So he ordered a batch of place names according to the imperial court's order. At that time, the court expanded and deduced the yin and yang and five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, and used heaven and man to correspond to the starry sky and the ground, aimed the twenty-eight constellations at the nine states on the ground, each with its own point of view, and divided the starry fields. According to the starry fields, Shaxian should be between the wings and Zhens of the southeast Suzaku.
So how can a small square city be named after the five elements and stars? The magistrate of Mei County visited Luo Wencong, an old Taoist priest who had been practicing for a hundred years on the south bank of Lushui. He knew astronomy and geography. The Taoist priest set up a compass and eight trigrams, and after deducing it, he drew the terrain and marked the name. A mountain in the center belonged to gold, called Jinzi Mountain, and the five elements were headed by gold.
The east of Jinzi Mountain is the image of a blue dragon. The pit is taken, "The pit is a sparse temple and the main scrambled", and the name is "Stone pit", the south of Jinzi Mountain is the image of a vermilion bird, and the willow is taken, "The willow is a bird's penis, and the main straits are plants and trees". The place name is "Liulin" south of Jinzi Mountain, and the west of the white tiger is taken, and the name is "Kui" and "Gui", which is called "Kui" and "Gui" and "Gui is the way of the tiger". So the place name is "Kui" west of Jinzi Mountain, and the image of Xuanwu in the north is the image of Xuanwu, and the wall is "the wall of Xuanwu". The place name is "Red Cliff". The four place names in the four directions are each sixty miles away from Jinzi Mountain.
In this way, the place name "Chirocli" appeared. Emperor Gaozu of Han advocated redness. In addition to "Chirocli", Taoist Luo took several place names with deficits, such as Chibolin, Chibolin Lake, Chigangfan, Chima Port, etc.
Murong Ping was injured, and there was no need for so many people to follow him, so Murong Ping led the soldiers back to Bingzhou first. However, Zuo Aoran came to Chibi with Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang, Gao Lan, Xian Yufu, Zhang Chun and others.
This was the first time Zuo Aoran saw the Yangtze River. The previous trip to Jingxiang did not stop by the Yangtze River, so this time Zuo Aoran was shocked. The endless rushing river water and the splashing water droplets around him were shining with silver light even under the moonlight.
Looking at the surging majestic spirit, Zuo Aoran suddenly felt a slight feeling. At this moment, he suddenly felt that he seemed very insignificant in front of nature, like a grain of countless dust in the world, inconspicuous.
At the same time, another feeling of abrupt different also rose in my heart. Looking at the majestic and magnificent Yangtze River, Zuo Aoran suddenly felt a surging momentum erupting from the depths of her heart.
At this time, Zuo Aoran felt like she wanted to yell. Her ambition reached the highest point at this moment. Facing the Yangtze River, Zuo Aoran developed ambition of a vast world and ups and downs!
"The rolling Yangtze River flows eastward, and the waves wash away all the heroes. The right and wrong, success and failure turn empty. The green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red several times. The white-haired fishermen and woodcutters are used to watching the autumn moon and spring breeze. A pot of turbid wine meets each other happily. How many things are in a joke in ancient and modern times." A poem by Yang Shen of the Ming Dynasty, Linjiangxian, chanted from Zuo Aoran's mouth.
After looking at the Yangtze River, Zuo Aoran led Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang, Gao Lan, Xian Yu Fu, and Zhang Chun to Jiangling by boat. Jiangling, also known as Jingzhou City, is located in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, west of the Jianghan Plain, facing the Yangtze River in the south, the Han River in the north, controls Bashu in the west, and connects Hunan and Guangdong in the south. It was called the "bridge of the seven provinces" in ancient times.
The city of Jiangling was predecessored by the capital of Chu, "Ying", from the Spring and Autumn Period to the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, 34 generations of emperors built their capitals here. It took 515 years. From the Han Dynasty, Jiangling City had long been the capital of Jingzhou, so "Jingzhou" was often called Jiangling.
Before he arrived in Jiangling, Zuo Aoran's group was investigated by the soldiers patrolling the river Jingzhou, and spent some silver to inquire. Only then did Zuo Aoran realize that it was specifically to investigate his own group. The rumors came from Jiangdong that a group of extremely vicious horses robbed Wu County, killed the prefect Wu Jing, and bloodied the entire Wu County, and threatened to go to Jingzhou. Liu Biao was frightened when he heard this, so he ordered a careful investigation of all the water and drought routes that entered the boundary of Jingzhou from Jiangdong.
Zuo Aoran was so angry when he learned the news. When did he slaughter the people of Wu County? And how did they know that they were coming to Jingzhou? This was really strange. If he hadn't asked Murong Ping to return to Bingzhou with a large group of troops, his trip to Jingzhou would have turned into a sheep and a tiger's mouth!
However, after thinking about it, Zuo Aoran understood that this must be Zhou Yu's plan. I'm afraid Yuan Shu has also received the same news here now? It's just that he was traveling in Huainan, right? What a trick to kill people with a knife! Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu! I, Zuo Aoran, have recorded it!
When Zuo Aoran secretly prayed in his heart that Zhou Yu would not be angry at Zhuge Liang so early, the boat he was riding seemed to slow down slowly. Just when Zuo Aoran wanted to be born and asked, an extremely disharmonious voice sounded: "Slow down the speed of the ship quickly. My general Wenpin was ordered by the governor of the state of the state to check the ships of Jiangdong entering Jingzhou, and dock quickly!"
Zuo Aoran said in his heart: "Ho! What's going on?!" Zuo Aoran looked at Gao Lan beside him and said: "This is the ninth time, right?"
The boatman outside the cabin said: "June, the guest on this boat is a merchant from Jiangdong. He went to Jiangling to negotiate a business. I wonder if it can be convenient. Thank you June!" Zuo Aoran used the silver to get there along the way, so the boatman had the silver given by Zuo Aoran. When he saw that there were officers in his investigation, he still used the old method to deal with it.
But this time it was not working, and the reason was that there was no other reason. There was a selfless Wen Pin there. After being transferred to Jiangzhong, Wen Pin was not only not dead, but also because of his bravery in combat, he was promoted to a general by Liu Biao. Now he is also a member of the party. The officer glanced at the silver handed over by the boatman. His eyes were full of greed, but he suppressed this mentality and said hard: "Where do you have so much nonsense? Let the people in the cabin come out quickly. We need to check it!"
At this moment, with a "click", a boat board was hit on the opposite military ship. A man with a look of the general came over and said kindly: "Boatman, we are doing a routine, so please cooperate."
The general spoke very well, which was the first impression of the boatman. He immediately said with a smile on his face: "Please wait, please wait, I will go to the cabin and talk to those guests."
