Chapter 673 Luoyang Eight Passes of Defense, Wang Yu’s Medical Skills Summon
The eight passes of Luoyang are: Hangu, Hulao, Yique, Guangcheng, Dugu, Sheyuan, Mengjin and Xiaopingjin;
Hangu Pass is located in the west of Luoyang, near the "Chang'an Ancient Road" and close to the bank of the Yellow River. It is named because it is in a canyon and is as deep and dangerous as a letter.
The ancient Wang family once said: "From the west of Lingbao to the east of Tongguan, they are all called Taolin. From the west of Laoshan to Laoshan, there are three famous mountains in Henan, and south of Tongjin, they are commonly known as Hangu."
It can be said that this is the fortress connecting Luoyang to Chang'an. It can point to Luodu to the east, Chang'an to the west, the Jian River to the south, and Mang Mountain to the north. This is the saying "one man is in charge of the pass, and ten thousand people are in charge of it."
The risk of "if you don't open it".
Because of this, Hangu Pass is known as the first of the eight passes in Luoyang.
Hulao Pass, also known as Sishui Pass, Chenggao Pass, and Guwo Pass, is the eastern gateway and important pass to Luoyang, the ancient capital. It is located in Sishui Town, 16 kilometers northwest of Xingyang City, Yuzhou.
Hulao Pass is the gateway to the east of Luoyang and an important pass. It was named after King Mu of Zhou who imprisoned a tiger here.
It can be said that this is a battleground for military strategists. Every time there is a war in the future, military strategists will fight for this pass. In the early Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin and Dou Jiande also fought here.
Li Shimin was able to achieve the achievement of breaking 3,000 to 100,000, which had a lot to do with his early occupation of Hulao Pass.
Not only this event, but many major events in history are related to Hulao Pass, such as the fifth year of Duke Yin of Lu in the Spring and Autumn Period, when Zheng defeated Yan's army here;
In the second year of Lu Xianggong (571 BC), King Mou of Jin gathered the princes with Qi to plan for Zheng, and used Meng Xianzi's strategy of "inviting the city to be locked up by tigers to force Zheng" and began to build the city here.
When the Chu and Han Dynasties were fighting for hegemony (203 BC), Liu Bang and Xiang Yu fought for the city and the pass here.
In the Song Dynasty, Yue Fei defeated the Jin soldiers at Zhuludu. In the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, there were still fierce battles, and the sound of killings was heard every now and then.
After all, Hulao Pass is connected to Songyue Mountains in the south and the Yellow River in the north. The mountains are intertwined, creating a natural danger. It gives people a huge trend of "one man can guard the pass, and ten thousand people can't open it". This has become a battleground for military strategists of all ages.
.
In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Hulao Pass was the first pass east of Luoyang, the capital.
Ban Zhao's "Ode to the Eastern Expedition" says: "Look at the exchanges between Heluo and Chenggao, and see the Xuanmen Pass in Chenggao", which refers to this pass, so Hulao Pass is also called Xuanmen Pass.
If Luoyang goes eastward and passes here, there will be no obstructions and it can be defended.
Yique Pass, now Longmen in the urban area of Luoyang, Yuzhou, is about two kilometers south. It is the natural gateway to the south of Luoyang. There are Fragrant Mountains on both sides of the bank, opposite Longmen Mountain, and the flowing Yishui River. From a distance, it looks like a natural gate.
.
Therefore, since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, this place has received a figurative name - Yique.
Luoyang, the capital of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, was named "Dragon Gate" because the gate of the palace faced Yique, and the ancient emperors regarded themselves as true dragons and emperors, and the name "Dragon Gate" has been used ever since.
For today's Han Dynasty, Yique Pass is the only way for the Luoyang garrison to go south and the Jingxiang garrison to go north.
……………
As for Guangcheng Pass, it was first built in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. When King Ping of Zhou moved the capital to Luoyang, he enfeoffed the princes to the Ru River Basin and established Guangcheng Pass in Linru Town, Ruzhou City today.
During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Guangcheng Pass became one of the eight passes in Luoyang that guarded Kyoto. Its original site was on the west side of Kongtong Mountain in Ruzhou City, Yuzhou today. It was named after the ancient immortal Guangchengzi.
The Guangcheng Pass of the Han Dynasty is located to the south of Guangcheng Garden established by Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty. It is known as "two mountains sandwiching a river". It has been an important passage from Wan (Nanyang), Xiang (Xiang Yang) and Jingchu areas to Jingluo since ancient times.
Not only that, there are Changchong Mountain, Niangniang Mountain, Monk Mountain, Baiyun Mountain, and Panlong Mountain to the northeast of Guangcheng Pass, and Dama Mountain and Dahu Ridge to the southwest. It is also the fortress leading to Ruying.
In the Han Dynasty, there was Guangcheng Ze near Guangcheng Pass, with a surrounding area of four hundred miles. The water came out of Langgao Mountain and flowed into Ru River in the southeast.
At the beginning of the Sui Dynasty, horses and herds were set up here. This was the only place to pass when heading north from Ruying area to Jingluo.
Taigu Pass, whose site is located in Shuiquan Village, Koutian Township, Yanshi, is a valley between Songshan Mountain and Longmen Mountain.
"Luoyang Ji" says: "Taigu, fifty miles south of Luocheng, was formerly known as Tonggu".
In times of war, heavy troops could be ambushed and guarded here, cutting off traffic between the north and the south, making it an ancient battlefield where soldiers of all ages fought for control.
Shenyuan Pass, located at the junction of Yanshi and Dengfeng, is the shortcut from Luoyang to Xu and Chen.
The pass is at Eling Ban, between Taishi Mountain and Shaoshi Mountain. The road is dangerous and narrow, with twelve bends. It loops around and returns again, so it is called Sheyuan Pass.
Not only that, in the Song Dynasty, there was another pass at Elingkou to the south. It was built by Ma Zhongfu, the magistrate of Yanshi County in the Song Dynasty.
Shenyuan Pass.
But at this time, it was obviously not established yet. Su Zhe asked Yun Kuang to take Dengfeng just to spy on Shenyuan Pass.
As for Mengjinguan, also known as Heyang Pass, it is located five miles north of Luoyang, at the center of the Yellow River, eighteen miles south of Meng County, and was an important ferry on the Yellow River in ancient times.
When King Wu of Zhou conquered Zhou, this was the place where he and the princes met to cross the river, so it was also called Mengjin and Fupingjin.
During the Western Jin Dynasty, Du Yu, the Marquis of Fengle Pavilion, built the first pontoon bridge on the Yellow River here, which was called the "River Bridge".
During the Northern Wei Dynasty, the three cities of Heyang were built on the north and south banks and on the sandbanks in the middle of the river. They were the key points to the north of Luoyang in the past dynasties and were a must-have for military strategists.
Xiaopingjinguan is located northwest of the old city of Mengjin, in the middle of the Yellow River, and is also a ford on the Yellow River.
Its status is second only to Mengjinguan, hence the name Xiaopingjin.
In addition, there is Tongguan, which has not yet been established, to the west of Luoyang, but it was established during the Jian'an period. In addition, there are Tianjingguan and Zhiguan in the north.
These passes are both the gateway to Luoyang and are fortified with defenses, making Luoyang an important military location that can be attacked when advancing and defended when retreating.
Of course, if you look at it from the surface, Luoyang does have so many advantages, but it is undeniable that there are also some flaws, and these flaws may be fatal.
In times of peace, Luoyang City may be a good choice as the capital, but once the world is in chaos, Luoyang is extremely vulnerable to siege from all directions because it is located in the middle of the world.
After all, history has proven that Luoyang was besieged and breached more than once, resulting in the fall of the capital.
The hinterland of the Sanchuan River Valley where Luoyang is located is small, and once the world changes, it will not be able to support itself to persevere to the end.
Moreover, the mountains to the east of Luoyang are not thick enough, and to the north there is only the Yellow River as a barrier. Compared with the vast Guanzhong Plain, it is indeed slightly inferior.
After all, Luoyang is vulnerable to enemies from all sides, while Guanzhong is easier to defend and harder to attack. If the princes are stable, they can transport up the Yellow River to supply the capital.
If there is a change in the world, you can attack from the east.
The subsequent historical development also confirmed this point of view. Whether it was the Han army annihilating the princes and kings of different surnames, or the rebellion of the seven kingdoms that broke out later, the Guanzhong area was able to steadily export money, food and troops to attack them.
At the same time, Guanzhong has never been invaded by the enemy.
After all, it can be seen from the major events in historical development that Luoyang is really easy to be surrounded by enemy forces on all sides during troubled times.
In the fifth year of Yongjia in the Western Jin Dynasty, the Xiongnu Liu Han once invaded Luoyang.
During the Five Hus and Sixteen Kingdoms period, from the disintegration of Later Zhao to the eve of the unification of Former Qin, Luoyang also changed its owners several times.
After the collapse of Later Zhao, Luoyang was first occupied by Zhou Cheng;
In 356, Luoyang was recaptured by the Eastern Jin Dynasty general Huan Wen;
In 365, Luoyang was captured by Murong Ke of the former Yan Dynasty;
In 370, Luoyang was violently captured by the former Qin king.
In the decades from the disintegration of the former Qin unification to the eve of the unification of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Luoyang City changed its owners several times:
In 384, after the collapse of the former Qin Dynasty, Fu Hui abandoned Luoyang and returned to the west. The Eastern Jin Dynasty took advantage of the victory and went north to regain Luoyang. During this period, the Western Yan Dynasty and the Later Qin Dynasty also fought for Luoyang, but they failed;
In 399, Yao Xing of the Later Qin Dynasty captured Luoyang;
In 416, Liu Yu launched the Northern Expedition and regained Luoyang again;
After Liu Yu's death, the Northern Wei Dynasty took the opportunity to invade south and captured Luoyang and Henan in 423;
In 430, Liu Song and Yuan Jia launched their seven-year Northern Expedition and captured Luoyang and Henan, which were soon recaptured by the Northern Wei Dynasty (yes, this is what Xin Qiji wrote: "Yuan Jia hastily sealed the wolf in Xu, and won the hasty visit to the north").
The chaos during this period is unspeakable.
Therefore, as a capital, Luoyang is very good in peacetime, but once it is in troubled times, it will be very miserable!
…………
Take the Yellow Turban Army as an example. If the Yellow Turban Army wanted to attack Luoyang, they could attack from four directions.
And there is Hulao Pass in the east of Luoyang;
There are Mengjinguan and Xiaopingjin in the north;
There are Sheyuan Pass and Dagu Pass in the southeast;
There are Guangcheng Pass and Yique Pass in the south.
It can be said that no matter which direction the Yellow Turban Army attacks from, they will have to attack these passes. However, if the millions of Yellow Turban Army can push the front to Luoyang City, the other six passes will be useless.
Among these passes, it is most advantageous to attack Hulao Pass from Suanzao. After all, the Yellow Turbans at this time only need to break through some dangerous fortresses and the two strong cities of Xingyang and Chenggao.
If you choose to attack from other places, you must conquer two passes in a row. If you insist on conquering it, the difficulty of conquering the other three routes is no less than that of Hulao Pass.
Therefore, after discussion, Zhang Jiao decided to use the Hulao Pass breakthrough, Sheyuan Pass and other passes as preparation points. The purpose was to contain the Han army in Nanyang and prevent them from causing trouble behind their backs!
After all, Hulao Pass is very close to Yanzhou, and the Yellow Turban Army's grain and grass transport vehicles can also provide timely rescue and provide more convenient and faster grain and grass support.
Although Xingyang and Chenggao are also two fortified cities, in terms of defensive power, they are still much inferior to Hulao Pass. As long as they wait for the next spring and the temperature rises, they can attack these two cities in a large scale.
Therefore, Xingyang City seems to be just the first line of defense, but it is actually a very important line, because the longer Xingyang is in the hands of the Yellow Turban Army, the greater the morale of the army will be encouraged.
The Han Dynasty also hoped that this fortified city could weaken the strength of the Yellow Turban Army.
With the failure of the Yellow Turban Army led by Shi Dakai to raid Xingyang, the entire Yellow Turban Army entered the repair stage and did not continue to launch the next attack.
However, even so, Guo Wei did not dare to be careless. After all, no one knew whether the Yellow Turban Army would continue to make sneak attacks.
At this time, both sides continued to fall into a passive situation.
The order from the imperial court was quickly spread to the governors and governors of various places, asking them to lead their troops to Luoyang to concentrate the superior strength of the Han army, hoping to defeat the Yellow Turbans at Hulao Pass, this majestic pass.
The Yellow Turban Army far away in Chenliu was also sharpening their swords. They took advantage of this period to train overtime and build powerful siege weapons!
Prepare to conquer the roadblock of Xingyang City in one fell swoop at the beginning of the decisive battle, so that the troops can enter the gate of Hulao Pass and then break through Hulao Pass, destroy the Han Dynasty in one fell swoop, and establish the Yellow Turban Heavenly Kingdom for the common people!
The Yellow Turban Army is destined to attack by force, and the Han Army will definitely defend here. It is conceivable that in the next few months, Hulao Pass, fighting alone, will inevitably become a huge war meat grinder!
…
Just when the land of Guandong is about to usher in a new war, Wang Yu, who is far away in Bingzhou, also begins his next round of plans.
That is the making of masks and the summoning of a person with strong medical skills.
I don’t know if the system already knows that after the Chinese New Year, the Han Dynasty will usher in a plague.
Therefore, this resulted in that when Wang Yu used the lottery system, he got the mask production process in just ten ordinary draws. However, even if Wang Yu knew it, he could not make it in time.
Because one thing is needed here, and that is cotton wool, and the so-called cotton wool is actually cotton!
Cotton did not appear in the Han Dynasty at this time. It was first introduced to China during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, but it was mainly grown in border areas at that time.
It was not until the end of the Song Dynasty and the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty that it began to be introduced into the mainland in large quantities. In the Yuan and Ming dynasties, it was rapidly promoted and became the most basic clothing raw material for ordinary people.
In other words, even if Wang Yu had a production method, it would be useless.
Therefore, at this moment, he can only hope that this medical summons can summon a powerful doctor.
"System, now use 100 summoning points for me, focusing on the field of medical skills." Wang Yu gave an order to the system.
[Okay, the host uses 100 summoning points for medical summoning, and the current host still has 13464 summoning points left;]
[Ding Dong, the first person to be summoned, a famous doctor in the late Qing Dynasty, Wu Tang, medical skill: 98;]
Wu Tang was a native of Huaiyin in the late Qing Dynasty. He was talented and should have taken the imperial examination and entered officialdom. However, due to the death of his father and nephew, Wu Tang began to study medicine instead.
After several years of hard work, he finally discovered some rules and treatment methods, and wrote the book "Tiao Bian of Febrile Diseases" in 1798 AD. His book is the most systematic treatment of febrile diseases in China.
His works on febrile diseases had a great influence on later generations.
He also wrote works such as "Wu Jutong Medical Records", which made the study of febrile diseases more complete and systematic;
Later generations had a way of classifying the "four classics" of traditional Chinese medicine.
That is to say, Wu's "Tiao Bian of Febrile Diseases" and the Han Dynasty's "Huangdi Neijing", "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" and "Shen Nong's Materia Medica" are listed as the "four major classics" that must be read in traditional Chinese medicine.
