Chapter 18 Entertainment and Learning

From Fengxiang Prefecture to Qinzhou, this area is the ancient battlefield of Zhuge Liang's northern expedition during the Three Kingdoms period. Thousands of years later, it seems that the sound of wars and swords from that year can still be heard. Shu and Wei soldiers galloped across this area, leaving behind countless stories and legends.

On the south side of Qinzhou City, Tianshui County is located at the source of the Western Han River. Tianshui County is not far away along the Western Han River. Yanguan Town is nearby. Zhuge Liang made an expedition to Qishan, which means he followed the Western Han River to walk the ancient Qishan Road and entered the land of Longyou. If he occupied Longyou, as long as he closed the Guanlong Avenue, he would be owned by Shu Kingdom. You can get to see Guanzhong and retreat to defend yourself.

The road from Sichuan to Qinzhou that was renovated by the Han Zong is this ancient Qishan Road. The route mainly utilizes the convenience of the Western Han River. When Zhuge Liang made an Northern Expedition, he always sent troops from here because water transportation could ensure the transportation of materials. Although the Shu army came from afar, it was not afraid of stalemate with the Wei army. However, other roads from Sichuan were difficult to ensure that the army confronted the Wei army, and they had to fight quickly. Shu Han, who had few major generals, was too risky to try to fight quickly against the Wei army.

The Western Han River, as the name suggests, was once part of the Han River. The Great Earthquake in Xingzhou in the Han Dynasty blocked the waterway and since then became a tributary of the Jialing River. Along this waterway, Sichuan and Longxi can be connected, and it has been a strategic road since ancient times.

However, due to the special hydrogeological conditions, this waterway will have to wait until autumn and winter to transport materials on a large scale. The far water cannot quench the near thirst. Xu Ping now urgently needs a road connecting Fengxiang Mansion. Furthermore, the industrial and commercial base of Qinfeng Road is located in Fengxiang Mansion, and the connection between the two places cannot be interrupted, so the strategic value of Guanlong Avenue has been improved.

Speaking of this, Xu Ping suddenly had a whim and said to Jingtai: "Last year in the capital, the artists under the Sansi's subordinates re-compiled a long-form speech "Saying Three Fen" and were very popular. Many of those speaking artists came to Qinzhou with the army. They might as well let them speak this article in the army, so that the soldiers in the army can have some entertainment when they are idle, and talk about their homesickness. Another story about telling Three Fenli, let the soldiers understand the geography of this area. Wouldn't it be a killing of two birds with one stone? For example, when talking about Longcheng Village, it was the Sanguo Jieting, which happened to face the article "Shijieting". To the south of Tianshui County, it was the exit of the former Qishan Road, so that the soldiers knew why Shu Han had to go out to Qishan in the north. To the north of Fuqiang Village, it was the place where the Shu General Jiang Wei was born, and they knew why Prime Minister Zhuge took Jiang Wei here. Such various things might arouse their interest."

Gao Daquan and other former soldiers of the imperial guards were the best. After hearing Xu Ping's words, they couldn't help but laugh: "Jie Shuai's idea is really good! When they came to a foreign land, people were inevitably panicked and were afraid of doing things. When they knew that this was the geography of the stories they knew, they would definitely be much better. It was like Jieting. When I heard about it in the capital, I always regretted Ma Ji and put him to death. But at that time, I just listened to the stories, and didn't know why they had to guard Jieting and why the army could not go up to the mountains. When Jie Shuai said that, he realized that the place was the nearby Longchengzhai. When I saw it in my spare time, I would understand everything?"
