Traveling by water is indeed much faster than traveling by land. Looking at the rapidly receding mountains around him, Liu Zheng couldn't help but think of Li Bai's poems.
"The apes on both sides of the strait can't stop crying, and the boat has passed the Ten Thousand Mountains."
Although the Yinzhou ship is not a light boat, it is still very fast.
These ten large "light boats" have been plying the Han River for several days.
The Han River is the main channel of this waterway.
The Han River is also called the Han River. It was called the Mianshui River in ancient times. Together with the Yangtze River, the Yellow River, and the Huaihe River, it is also known as the "River Huaihan". The Han River has a total length of 1,532 kilometers and is the largest tributary of the Yangtze River in terms of length.
Its origin is in the Zhongshan Mountain of Ningqiang County (under Hanzhong City, Shaanxi Province, formerly known as Ningqiang) between the Qinling Mountains and Micang Mountain in southwestern Shaanxi Province, and then moves southeast across the Qinba Mountains to Hanzhong, Ankang and other cities in southern Shaanxi. And then
, will enter western Hubei!
This is already the territory of Jingchu, the territory of King Xiang.
Then it flows north through Shiyan and flows into the Danjiang Reservoir. After leaving the reservoir, it continues to flow southeast, passing through Xiangfan, Jingmen and other cities, and then all the way to Yong'an and all the way to Jiangzhou!
It can be said that the second half of the Han River is basically within the boundaries of Jingzhou.
certainly.
Because Liu Zheng's Liangzhou army was originally sent to support Sichuan and Sichuan in name, he was well-known and justified, and had the endorsement of the imperial court.
As long as he doesn't take the initiative, the troops in Jingzhou will not take the initiative to intercept him.
In fact, at this time, everyone knows.
The conflict between the two sides will completely break out in Yong'an. So there is no need to get entangled in this halfway. King Xiang's 100,000 troops are already waiting for Liu Zheng in Yong'an.
“The Jingchu waterway connects the world, and it is indeed well-deserved!”
Liu Zheng expressed such emotions all along the way.
Jingchu culture, as one of the most important cultures of Chinese civilization, is actually quite splendid in the land of Jingchu, far surpassing Sichuan and Shu. After all, when Sichuan and Shu were still barbarians, Jingchu culture was very splendid.
Chu culture had already begun to sprout and flourish.
Archaeological findings show that as early as thousands of years ago, human beings were thriving on the land of Jingzhou and created the splendid Qujialing Culture and Shijiahe Culture.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, bronze smelting technology, forged iron technology, silk embroidery technology and lacquerware technology were all at the world's leading level.
The philosophy of Lao and Zhuang, the literature of Chu Ci, and music and dance have also entered the halls of civilization in the ancient world.
In and around Ji Nancheng, the ancient capital of Chu, there are 5 Chu city ruins, 73 Chu cultural ruins, and more than 800 large stone tombs, including the tombs of 18 Chu kings. During the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang called Jingzhou "Northern Han Mian".
It benefits from the South China Sea, connects Wuhui to the east, and Bashu to the west. This is a country that uses force."
Jingzhou has a flat terrain, a mild climate, crisscrossed rivers, and dotted lakes. There are 92 rivers with a drainage area of more than 100 square kilometers, and the Yangtze River flows through the region for 453 kilometers.
Therefore.
The people of Jingchu are absolutely arrogant when facing the "barbarians" of Sichuan and Shu.
Xie Zhen laughed at the side and said: "Jingzhou is the thoroughfare of Jiuzhou. It is prosperous and developed. However, military strategists must fight here. If...if the world is uneven, Jingzhou will be difficult to stabilize!"
Liu Zheng also nodded.
Xie Zhen is quite insightful.
Relatively speaking, the geographical location of Sichuan and Shu is actually more suitable for building high walls, accumulating grain, and slowly becoming king. This is why Liu Bei could divide the world into three parts, but Liu Biao could not. You must know that Liu Jingsheng was not a general at that time.
A generation ago, he rode into Jingzhou and astonished everyone in the world. However, the geographical location of Jingzhou was destined to fight for years, and the people were exhausted. Cao Cao was in the north, Soochow was in the east, and Sichuan and Shu were in the west.
It is basically impossible to recuperate and recuperate.
Now is the time of peace, that's all.
If the world is full of strife, King Xiang will definitely be exhausted from running for his life.
This is why the successive kings of Jingchu had a special liking for the land of Sichuan and Sichuan and constantly harassed it.
Because only by capturing Sichuan and Shu can Jingchu have a large rear area. With the support of Sichuan and Shu’s almost inexhaustible food and grass, Jingchu will be in an invincible position.
"It seems that this Yong'an will be a fierce battle."
Liu Zheng laughed and said.
This King of Xiang will never allow Yong'an, the portal of Sichuan and Shu, which he has held in his hands for several years, to be handed over to others!
Xie Zhen said worriedly: "Second brother, the Jingzhou Navy must never be underestimated. If General Qin's side is blocked again, then we..."
Liu Zheng understood what he meant.
If the Yong'an war continues and Qin Changfeng's side is blocked, then Liu Zheng and the Liangzhou navy will really be in a dilemma. Why? The simplest point is food and grass!
