() "Wan" is one of the earliest place names in Nanyang. Wan not only reflects the landform characteristics of the "basin", but also reflects its ecological environment. Its meaning: high altitude in all directions.
Under the Yangtze River, it conforms to the landform characteristics of Nanyang, which is surrounded by mountains on three sides to the west, north and east, with a low and flat basin in the middle; "curved grass self-covering" is a grass-covered land with lush green vegetation. In the early autumn, the Chu State in the south became increasingly powerful.
He successively annexed the countries in the Han River Basin to the north, including Lu,
The two countries of Shen and Shen were also destroyed by King Wen of Chu. After the Chu State occupied this land with fertile fields and beautiful soil and convenient rivers, it built Wanyi here as a base for its ambition to conquer the Central Plains. The name Wan means since
It started here. Later, Wan evolved from a geographical name to "Wancheng".
Wancheng is located in the Nanyang Basin, the easternmost large basin in China. It has Funiu on its head, Jianghan on its feet, Tongbai in the east and Qinling Mountains in the west. Historically, it was the place where Qu Yuan "knocked his horse to admonish the king" and the military strategist Zhuge Liang.
A land of hard work, the famous "Battle of Danyang" between Qin and Chu and the story of the Three Kingdoms "Three Visits to the Thatched Cottage" took place here. It once gave birth to wisdom
The sage Zhuge Liang, the medical sage Zhang Zhongjing, the science sage Zhang Heng, the Shang sage Fan Li, the seeking sage Jiang Ziya and other historical celebrities. During the Warring States period, it was a famous iron smelting center, and later became the seat of Nanyang County, one of the thirty-six counties of the Qin Dynasty. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was
As a companion capital, it was the place where Emperor Guangguang Wu Liu Xiu made his fortune, so it is now also known as the "Southern Capital" and the "Imperial Township".
Yuan Shu once occupied the two counties of Nanyang and Runan. He was no fool. With the power of the Yuan family, he occupied the two most prosperous counties at the time. Unfortunately, Yuan Shu was extravagant and extravagant, and he collected taxes and levies in vain.
Two rich counties.
Wancheng was once a sad place for Cao Cao. Here Cao Cao lost his eldest son Cao Ang, his beloved nephew Cao Anmin, and his beloved general Dian Wei. The reason was Cao Cao's lust and carelessness. This battle became the most painful thing in Cao Cao's heart.
war.
At that time, in the second year of Jian'an, Cao Cao conquered Jingzhou and came to Wancheng, where Zhang Xiu surrendered. Cao Cao was very happy. However, because Cao Cao accepted his uncle and sister-in-law Zou, Zhang Xiu felt humiliated and wanted to take revenge on Cao Cao. He listened to his advisers
On Jia Xu's suggestion, Zhang Xiu rebelled against Cao Cao and raided Cao Cao's camp at night. He also had Hu Che'er get Dian Wei drunk and steal Dian Wei's halberds.
Since Cao Cao was unprepared for the surprise attack, Zhang Xiu gained the upper hand. Cao Cao mounted his horse and fled. General Dian Wei followed to prevent the enemy from entering the village gate. However, Zhang Xiu's army entered from other gates and surrounded Dian Wei. Only ten men were left with Dian Wei.
The remaining people fought desperately. Dian Wei stabbed left and right with a long halberd, killing
There were more than ten enemy soldiers, with corpses scattered all over the ground. Dian Wei was injured in more than ten places, but he still continued to fight and killed two enemy soldiers. The remaining enemy soldiers did not dare to come forward, so Dian Wei came forward and killed several more people.
He was seriously injured and died with angry eyes and curses. Zhang Xiujun did not dare to step forward to take his head until they confirmed that Dian Wei was dead and then returned to camp.
Cao Cao's son Cao Ang gave up his war horse to his father and bravely blocked Zhang Xiu's army from behind. Although he bought time for his father to escape, he was surrounded and killed. Cao Cao's nephew Cao Anmin was also killed. At this time, Cao Cao had withdrawn.
When he arrived at Wuyin, he burst into tears when he learned of Dian Wei's death.
Now, Cao Cao came here again. Looking at the majestic big city, Cao Cao felt unhappy. No one has ever made me, Cao Cao, so embarrassed. Liu Qi, Jia Xu, Zhang Xiu, I, Cao Cao, will make you pay for your blood.
In return, I paid homage to my son’s spirit in heaven. In fact, Cao Cao still liked his eldest son Cao Ang the most, but it was a pity that Cao Cao’s good life was ruined because of his good looks.
Wancheng is surrounded by mountains on three sides and water on one side, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack. The moat is also wide and deep. Therefore, Cao Cao was not in a hurry to attack the city. He sent troops to sweep Zhui County and Wuyin City, and then sent ten troops.
Wan was stationed thirty miles away from Wancheng.
Liu Qi also set up two large camps outside Wancheng City, each with 20,000 men. Wei Yan, Liu Pi, and Hu Cheer guarded the left camp; Li Yan, Zhu Ran, and Su Fei guarded the right camp. At the same time, Zhuge was ordered to guard the left camp.
Jin led the three generals Lu Meng, Xu Sheng and Ling Tong to station 10,000 naval troops on the south bank of the Jishui River. Cao Cao had no chance to take advantage of this.
This time Cao Cao came with great force, and to be honest, Liu Qi was still a little uneasy. After all, he was the number one soldier in the Three Kingdoms, and a figure highly respected even by Taizu of later generations.
Hundreds of Cao Cao's camps were formed into one area, stretching for dozens of miles. Of course, Cao Cao would not make the same mistake as Liu Bei. He camped for 700 miles in a row and was stationed in dense jungles. Cao Cao's camp was well organized and could be attacked.
It can be defended and contains hidden secrets. It should be from the hands of a good general. It may be the "Five Sons of Good Generals" who are "resolute and loyal" in the ban.
Three days later, Cao Cao began a probing attack. First, he sent General Xu Huang, deputy general Cai Yang, with 20,000 troops to attack Liu Qi's left camp; he also sent general Zhang He, deputy general Gao Lan, with 20,000 troops to attack his right camp. The battle
The curtain opened.
It is not feasible to defend Wancheng. After all, there are many roads leading to Jingzhou. But Wancheng is the nearest one, so a decisive battle with Cao Cao is also Liu Qi's goal.
The first to attack was Xu Huang's tribe. Xu Huang was also an old subordinate of Cao Cao. After Cao Cao welcomed Emperor Xian, he followed Cao Cao. After that, he became a loyal general of Cao Cao and followed Cao Cao to fight in the north and south.
Cao Wei made great achievements. Cao Cao assigned his troops to Xu Huang and sent him to attack Juan and Yuanwu. After defeating them, he was worshiped as General Bi. He also followed Cao Cao to attack Lu Bu and surrendered to Lu Bu. He led generals Zhao Shu and Li Zou, etc. Later, he and
Shi Huan killed Sui Gu in Hanoi.
In the Battle of Guandu, Xu Huang followed Cao Cao to defeat Liu Bei who had defected to Yuan Shao. He then followed Cao Cao to defeat Yan Liang, captured Baima, and advanced to Yanjin, where he defeated Wen Chou and was worshiped as a partial general. Later, he fought with Cao Hong and defeated Cao Hong.
At that time, Cao Cao sent troops to fight Yuan Shao, but returned without victory and defended himself. At that time, Yuan Shao sent thousands of carts of grain and grass to Guandu. Counselor Xun You said to Cao Cao:
"Yuan Shao's grain truck arrived overnight. The general who escorted the grain and grass, Han Yongmeng, underestimated the enemy and could defeat him with an attack." Cao Cao asked, "Who can take on this important task?" Xun You said, "Xu Huang can do it." Cao Cao said, "Xu Huang can do it."
Cao then sent Xu Huang and Shi Huan with thousands of cavalry to attack Han Meng, intercepting and burning his baggage in the old city. Xu Huang made the greatest contribution in this battle and was named Dutinghou.
Wei Yan was also under some pressure to fight against Xu Huang, who had been famous for a long time, was brave and good at fighting, and well-organized in the army, and was well-known in the north and south. But after all, Wei Yan was not the Wei Yan before. When he followed Liu Qi in the south and north, he was not entrusted with important tasks and was not in front of the battle.
The vanguard is the general with two wings.
As Liu Qi's "veteran" here, Wei Yan has also experienced hundreds of battles. Although he is still close to Wei Yan's peak moment, he is no longer behind in the battle with Xu Huang.
Now that Xu Huang has come to attack, Wei Yan is not idle. He occupies the advantageous position. It would be a fool not to use it. In front of the camp, ditches, walls, horses, deer antlers, bed crossbows, large crossbows, chariots, and grain carts are arranged at the camp gate.
The back can not only serve as a cover for the archers, but also prevent the opposing cavalry from charging into the camp.
