Please ask me to be the emperor

"Historical Records: The Chronicles of Emperor Gaozu": (Liu Bang) was granted the title of Qin's treasure treasury and returned it to the army. He summoned the elders of the counties, Hao Jie, and said: "My elders have been suffering from the harsh laws of Qin for a long time. Those who slander the clan, and those who make idle remarks, abandon the city. I have made an agreement with the princes. Whoever enters the pass first will be king, and I will be the king of Guanzhong."

Bashang is named after its location on the shore of Bashui River.

Historically, Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, once led his army to break through Wuguan and capture Bashang, and Prince Qin Ying surrendered. At this point, Qin, the powerful Qin who swept across the six kingdoms, died in one battle.

In his previous life, Zhang Shun had not learned this period of history, and he was also familiar with the words "Ba Shang", "Ba Ling" and "Ba Qiao".

However, due to the passage of time, he never seriously thought about the significance of these places, and just regarded them as ordinary allusions.

It was not until today that he stationed troops in "Bashang" that he knew the key points.

Ying Shao said in his annotation of "Book of Han": "Bashang, the name of the place, is thirty miles east of Chang'an."

"Ciyuan Baibu": "Bailuyuan, the place name, is Bashang, in the west of Lantian County, Shaanxi Province. The Ba River passes through the original place. It is said that a white deer appeared here during the reign of King Ping of Zhou Dynasty, hence the name."

"Shang" also means "side" or "side" in ancient Chinese.

The so-called Bashang means the bank of Ba River, that is, it is sandwiched between Chan River and Ba River and reaches Bailuyuan in Zhongnan in the south.

This place is sandwiched by two rivers, close to mountains and rivers, and has undulating terrain, which is conducive to defense. It can be called the eastern gateway of Xi'an City.

If you start from Xi'an and pass through here, you will go to the ancient Xiaohan Road to the east, and to the southeast along the east bank of the Bahe River, you will go to the Wuguan Road through Wuguan.

Cheng Dachang of the Southern Song Dynasty once said the key point: "If Ruofu dominates, he is far away from Tongguan in the east and Puguan in the north. Both Daijun and Taiyuan can invade the Yongzhi Road."

On the other hand, Bashang serves as the eastern barrier of Xi'an. No matter whether the enemy attacks from the northeast, east or southeast, it is the only way to pass.

Once the enemy captures Bashang, the city of Xi'an will have no danger to defend and will be trapped in an isolated city.

This is also the reason why after Liu Bang led his army to occupy Bashang, Prince Ying of Qin had to "white horses and plain chariots, tie them around the neck to form a group, and seal them with the emperor's seal, talisman, and festival" to ask for Liu Bang's surrender.

This is also why there is an allusion of "Farewell at Baqiao", and why Li Guang's behavior of killing Captain Baling was so bad.

"Ba Bridge" is built on the Ba River, which was the only way out of Ba River.

Historically, when Chang'an was the capital, most of the people who left it went to the rich east. When ancient people saw off guests, they often had the etiquette and custom of sending them to the intersection.

It just so happens that starting from here, whether heading to the northeast, east or southeast, is quite cheap, so during the Han and Tang Dynasties, there was often a "Baqiao Farewell" event.

Baling was originally the tomb of Emperor Liu Heng of the Han Dynasty. It is located at the northern foot of Bashang and the area east of Liujiaying. It also belongs to the category of Bashang. Baling County was established here in the Han Dynasty.

This place is the gateway to Chang'an, so the captain of Baling County is naturally extremely cautious.

Han general Li Guang took the opportunity to kill this man after gaining power just because he strictly enforced the law and did not allow Li Guang to travel at night.

This is simply a challenge to the safety of Chang'an. If he and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty were to change places, Zhang Shun felt that he would not be able to let this thief go easily.

Without further ado, it is said that after Zhang Shun led his army to Bailuyuan, also known as "Bashang" in ancient times, he personally led people to inspect Dizhai, Liujiaying and other places, and found that this place was indeed the gateway to Xi'an and a good place for garrisoning troops.

There are not only a lot of military garrison sites on the Bailu Plateau, but also countless relics and allusions.

After comprehensively considering the advantages and disadvantages, Zhang Shun finally chose Liujiaying, the place where Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, once stationed his troops.

This place faces high cliffs on the northwest and deep ditches on the south, both thirty to one hundred feet above the river. Only the east can lead to the plain, which is several times more dangerous than the most dangerous city.

It can be called a place where "looking up high and condescending, this is the place where bows and crossbows are made, and it is not suitable for short-term soldiers."

In today's era, although crossbows are in decline, blunderbuss and artillery are prevalent, and their defensive capabilities are ten times better than crossbows.

So Zhang Shun was so confident that if the rebel army was stationed here, it would be well prepared to withstand the siege of 100,000 officers and soldiers.

"His Royal Highness King Shun, we have arrived at the gates of Xi'an. Why do we attack instead of attack or leave instead of leaving, but instead stay here?" "King Zuo Jin" He Jin finished arranging his errands and couldn't help but come to ask for advice.

"What do you think of this place?" Zhang Shun smiled and asked without answering.

"Jincheng Tangchi is a natural place, so it's a dangerous place!" He Jin said honestly.

"Don't limit your vision here, look far away!" Zhang Shun stood on a high plateau, waved his hand and said, "From here, look to the west, and from a high perspective, you will see a flat plain, and Xi'an is in sight."

"In the past, Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, lived here. Prince Qin Ying asked to surrender; Huang Chao conquered Huazhou, and Emperor Xizong of the Tang Dynasty went west. General Zhang Zhifang of Jinwu led dozens of civil and military officers to Bashang to welcome him into the city. This is why!"

"King Shun means to wait for King Qin to bring Gan Xuekuo, the governor of Shaanxi, and Zuo Guang, the commander-in-chief of Shaanxi, to surrender first?" He Jin couldn't help but wonder.

"Shit!" Zhang Shun was almost angry to death. "During the Qin and Tang Dynasties, there were no reinforcements outside the court, no fighting spirit within the court, and there were dangers, so it was natural that it had to surrender."

"Although the officers and soldiers have lost the Bailu Plain, there are still troops from Gansu, Ningxia, Lintao and Yansui available. Is there any reason to surrender without a fight?"

"What does King Shun mean?" He Jin asked somewhat uncertainly.

"wait!"

"wait?"

"Yes, our army has to wait for Chen Changzhen, Bai Guangen and other troops, as well as the movements of other rebels. The officers and soldiers are waiting for the rescue of Liang Tingdong, the governor of the three sides." Zhang Shun said with a smile.

"When the imperial army arrives, a big battle is inevitable. If you win, you will enter the city, and if you lose, you will flee. That's all!"

"The art of war says: Make the enemy invincible first, then wait until the enemy is victorious. The officers and soldiers will be stationed in Xi'an, and I will be stationed in Bailuyuan, which is enough to offset the situation!"

"Even if the rebel army suffers an occasional setback, they can still rely on this defense to wait for Heluo reinforcements! Therefore, I am stationed here, which is to say, 'the first one cannot win'."

"If Liang Tingdong, the governor of the three sides, doesn't save him, what can be done?" He Jin thought for a while and couldn't help but ask a question.

"If this is the case, the city of Xi'an will be defeated without a fight!" Zhang Shun laughed.

"There are no less than a million people living within forty miles of the city of Xi'an. If the city gates are closed for dozens of days, where will their food and clothing come from?"

"If the city gate is not closed, I am only thirty miles away and can reach it in half a day on horseback. How can I defend it?"

"This King Shun's plan is very clever!" He Jin thought about it for a moment and couldn't help but praise it.

Not to mention what Zhang Shun and others planned, it is just that after the rebels retreated, Shaanxi Commander-in-Chief Zuo Guangxian breathed a sigh of relief and quickly dispatched soldiers to find out the movements of the rebels.

Unexpectedly, a spy reported that night: "General, the 'shun thieves' retreated to Bailuyuan, cut down trees and built up soil, and set up camp at Liujiaying."

"Liujiaying?" Zuo Guangxian's pupils couldn't help but shrink. He was originally the commander-in-chief of Shaanxi, so why was he not familiar with the nearby terrain?

"It seems like these thieves are unwilling to leave!" Zuo Guang first pondered for a moment, then with a sharp look in his eyes, he muttered to himself, "If you stay, don't leave!"
