Tracing back to Chibi, it is said that Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty, was the son of the Red Emperor who descended to earth. He killed the snake and revolted and established the 400-year foundation of the Han Dynasty. Although it followed the Qin system, it had its own rules for naming places. At that time, the rules were based on Yin-Yang, Five Elements, and the Twenty-Eight Constellations.
To determine the direction, the "red" color is the best.
In the sixth year of Emperor Gaozu's reign in Shaxian County, the county magistrate Meichi began to investigate the mountains and rivers within the territory and found many unknown place names, so he ordered a number of place names according to the imperial decree. At that time, the imperial court used the five elements of yin and yang: gold, wood, water, and fire.
The soil is expanded and deduced, and heaven and man correspond to each other, and the starry sky and the ground are matched, and the twenty-eight constellations are aligned with the nine states on the ground. Each has its own reference, and the star field is divided. According to the star field, Shaxian should belong to the wing of the southeast Suzaku, between Zhen.
So how can a small square city be named after the five elements and stars? Magistrate Mei County then visited the old Taoist priest Luo Wenchong on the south bank of Lushui River. He knew astronomy and geography. The Taoist priest set up his compass and made some deductions.
After that, the terrain was traced and the name was marked. A mountain in the center was made of gold and was named Jinzi Mountain. The five elements were headed by gold.
To the east of Jinzi Mountain is the elephant of Canglong, and its pit is chosen. "The pit is a sparse temple, and it is the main disease." So it is named: "Shikeng". To the south is the elephant of Suzaku, and its willow is taken. "The willow is the bird's note, and it is the main disease."
"vegetation", the place name "Liu Lin" was given to the south of Jinzi Mountain, and the white tiger elephant was in the west. "Kui" and "觜" were taken from them, and they were called "Kui is Fengzhi, which is called Goudu", and "觜" is the tiger path.
, so the place name "Kui Xi" was chosen to the west of Jinzi Mountain, and to the north was the Xuanwu Elephant. Its wall, "Xuanwu Wall", was chosen as the place name: "Red Cliff". The four place names in the four directions were each distanced from Jin.
Sixty Miles from Purple Mountain.
In this way, the place name "Red Cliff" appeared. Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty advocated the color red. In addition to "Red Cliff", Daochang Luo also took several place names with deficits, such as Chibolin, Chibolin Lake, Chigangfan, and Chima.
Hong Kong etc.
Murong Ping was injured, and there was no need for so many people to follow him, so he asked Murong Ping to lead the soldiers back to Bingzhou first. However, Zuo Aoran was accompanied by Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang, Gao Lan, Xian Yufu, Zhang Chun and others.
We came down to Red Cliff.
This was the first time Zuo Aoran saw the Yangtze River. He had not stopped by the Yangtze River during his previous trip to Jingxiang, so Zuo Aoran was shocked this time. The endlessly flowing river water and the splashing water droplets all around.
Even under the moonlight, it glows with silvery light.
Looking at the surging majestic spirit, Zuo Aoran suddenly felt a small feeling in his whole body. At this moment, he suddenly felt that he seemed very insignificant in front of nature, just like a particle of countless dust in the world.
, unremarkable.
At the same time, another completely different feeling also arose in his heart. Looking at the majestic Yangtze River, Zuo Aoran suddenly felt that a surging momentum burst out from deep in his heart.
At this time, Zuo Aoran felt as if he wanted to roar. At this moment, his ambition reached its highest point. Facing the Yangtze River, Zuo Aoran had an ambition to master the ups and downs of the world!
"The rolling waters of the Yangtze River pass by, and the waves wash away the heroes. Right and wrong, success and failure are all gone. The green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red a few times. The white-haired fisherman on the river is used to watching the autumn moon and spring breeze. A pot of turbid wine happily meets. So many things in ancient and modern times.
, all in laughter and conversation." A poem called "Linjiang Immortal" by Yang Shen of the Ming Dynasty came out of Zuo Aoran's mouth.
After looking at the Yangtze River, Zuo Aoran led Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang, Gao Lan, Xian Yufu, and Zhang Chun by boat and headed straight for Jiangling. Jiangling, also known as Jingzhou City, is located in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, in the west of the Jianghan Plain, and to the south of the Yangtze River.
, adjacent to the Han River in the north, controlling Bashu in the west, and connecting Hunan and Guangdong in the south, it was called the "thorough of seven provinces" in ancient times.
The city of Jiangling was formerly known as "Ying", the capital of the Chu State. From the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, 34 generations of emperors established their capitals here, which lasted for 515 years. Since the Han Dynasty, Jiangling City has long existed as the seat of Jingzhou.
, so Jiangling is often referred to as "Jingzhou".
Before arriving at Jiangling, Zuo Aoran and his party were interrogated no less than eight times by Jingzhou soldiers patrolling the river. After spending some money to inquire, Zuo Aoran realized that it was specifically to interrogate his party.
Rumors came from Jiangdong that a group of extremely vicious thieves looted Wu County, killed the prefect Wu Jing, and bloodbathed the entire Wu County. They also threatened to go to Jingzhou. Liu Biao was frightened when he heard this, so he ordered
Carefully check all flood and drought roads entering Jingzhou from Jiangdong.
Zuo Aoran was furious after learning the news. When had he massacred the people of Wu County, and how did they know that he had come to Jingzhou? This would be really strange, if he hadn't asked Murong Ping to lead a large group of people
Return to Bingzhou first. Your trip to Jingzhou will be like a sheep in a tiger's mouth!
However, after thinking about it, Zuo Aoran understood that this must be Zhou Yu's plan. I am afraid that Yuan Shu has also got the same information now, right? He is just visiting Huainan, right? What a borrowed knife to kill someone!
Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu! I, Zuo Aoran, have written it down!
Zuo Aoran was secretly praying in his heart that Zhou Yu would not be angered to death by Zhuge Liang so early. The boat he was riding on seemed to slow down slowly. Just when Zuo Aoran was about to ask questions, an extremely discordant voice sounded:
"Slow down the speed of the ship quickly. My general Wenpin has been ordered by Zhou Mu to inspect the Jiangdong generation ships entering Jingzhou. Stop here quickly!"
Zuo Aoran thought to himself: "Oh! What's wrong with it being endless?!" Zuo Aoran looked at Gao Lan beside him and said: "Is this the ninth time?"
The boatman outside the cabin said: "Master Jun, the guest on this ship is a merchant from Jiangdong. He came to Jiangling to discuss business. I wonder if it can be convenient. Thank you, Master Jun!" Zuo Aoran was always there all the way.
This is how the money was brought, so the boatman had the money given by Zuo Aoran. When he saw another officer interrogating him, he still used the old method to deal with it.
Unexpectedly, it didn't work out this time, for no other reason than there was a selfless Wenpin there. Not only did Wenpin survive after being transferred to Jiangzhong, but because of his bravery in battle, he was promoted to the rank of general by Liu Biao.
, now also an important member of the party, this officer glanced at the silver coins handed over by the boatman, his eyes were full of greed, but he suppressed this mentality and said firmly: "Where do you come from so much nonsense?
Let the people in the cabin come out quickly, we want to conduct an investigation!"
At this time, there was a "bah" sound, and a plank was set up on the opposite military ship. A man who looked like a general came over and said kindly: "Shipman, this is a routine business for us. Please ask me.
Cooperate."
The general's words were very pleasant. This was the first impression of the captain. He immediately said with a smile on his face: "Please wait a moment, sir. I will go to the cabin to talk to the guests."
