Niuzhu is famous for a cave in the southwest of the world, which is unfathomable. According to folk legend, Taurus came from this cave in ancient times. Because of its name, Niuzhuji. Ji means big stones to stimulate water, and also refers to rocks that protrude the water bank and stone beaches. The two meanings are in harmony, and you can see the danger. This place is a strategic location for the river and one of the three major rocks in the Yangtze River. The situation is dangerous and military strategists must fight. During the Yonghe period of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, General Xie Shang, the west of Zhenshi, built Niuzhu City with Caishi, and was called Caishiji.

Queen Li Taibai's famous line "The Ten Songs of Gushu·Niuzhuji": "The cliff is facing the giant river, and the peaks are facing each other; the rocks flow and the echoes naturally form waves; but it shocks the beautiful trees and is unpredictable. I even hear the monkeys crying at night, and are worried about the river."

"The cliff is facing the giant river, and the peaks are facing each other", and the terrain is extremely high. "Whether the rocks are scattered, the echoes are naturally waves", which means that the water is dangerous. The rocks are scattered, and it is easy to hit the reef and sink. The echoes become waves, and it is difficult to approach the shore. It is similar to the mainstay of the river, which hits head-on, but is pushed away by the echo.

The meaning of the words is that it is difficult to attack by water or land.

It is not easy to attack strongly, only wisdom can be used.

From a prosperous and prosperous province, I slept in the open all the way, like a dog who was strayed from a family. I crossed the river and came to join my old friends. I thought I was willing to be over, but I was sent to the barren mountains and rivers that were rarely visited, and the river was cliff. Just like a lonely ghost. Zhang Kai, the guardian of Niuzhu Camp, was depressed, and you can imagine it.

Fortunately, the food, grass and supplies in the camp were piled up like mountains. After three meals, life was also considered happy.

On that day, I suddenly passed by a traveler and posted a letter in front of the camp. I met under the tent and it turned out to be Yan Xiang, the chief clerk of Yuan Gonglu. Yan Xiang secretly told me that if I offered this camp, I would have a great reward.

Zhang Kai hurriedly asked, how to reward him more.

Yan Xiang casually replied: You can be a marquis of ten thousand households.

Zhang Kai scratched his ears and cheeks, and couldn't help but be happy. Ten thousand households must be county marquis. He lives in a county, and asks me for fish and meat in the countryside. How happy it is.

Then he made up his mind and said, "I am willing to surrender."

After agreeing to surrender, Yan Xiang left.

Three days later, Yuan Shu personally led his troops and advanced to Niuzhu. Zhang Kai raised fire as a call and led his troops to the thief under him to open the water to the mountain gate. He let Yuan Shu's remaining troops enter the camp.

When Niuzhu changes his master, the soldiers guarding the camp are still in their dreams.

The sun was hanging high, and it was just as if it was just a dream. Yuan Shu got all the grain and grain of the palace and the battle tools. He ordered the general Ji Ling to gather surrendered soldiers and rectify the troops. Yuan Shu was full of energy and the central army promoted the tent.

The chief clerk Yan Xiang, the chief clerk Yang Hong, and the other generals were all listed.

The Niuzhu camp was in a dangerous place, and the food, grass and supplies were piled up like a mountain. Three thousand defenders were all captured. There were also hundreds of boatmen and craftsmen in the water fort. There were also more than a hundred ships of all sizes and 100 ships of all sizes and 100 ships in the water fort. All of them were in the Ji State. If the soldiers were not bloody, how could Yuan Shu not be happy to take down Niuzhu?

The commander Zhang Kai came into the tent and met. Yuan Shu was kind to express his gratitude and comforted him, drawing the ground to make cakes.

Zhang Kai was overjoyed and bowed down, willing to be used by Yuan Shu.

As Yuan Shao acted, Yuan Shu ordered the camp soldiers to cut wood and get stones, first repaired and reinforced Niuzhu camp, and then sent a letter to the stone city to inform them of the victory.

The chief clerk Yan Xiang said, "Liu Yao ordered Fan Neng to set up a station in Hengjiangjin in Midong and Zhang Ying to set up a likou. The two forts were all transported by Niuzhu. Just use a brief plan, and thousands of soldiers in the two forts should be used as a Ming Gong."

Yuan Shu hurriedly asked, "The plan will come out."

"In the name of giving food, I secretly sent dead soldiers into the camp. Taking advantage of the opportunity of delivering documents, I captured the guard general in one fell swoop. I opened the fort gate and won without fighting." The chief clerk Yan Xiang and Hepan revealed it.

"A clever plan." Yuan Shu looked around the tent and lieutenant general: "Who is willing to make this contribution?"

"I would like to go to Hengjiangjin." It was Qiao Rui, a former military officer.

"I am willing to take advantage of the situation." Then Zhang Xun, the captain of the Right Army, came out.

Qiao Rui and Zhang Xun were all under Yuan Shu’s command. Although they were not as good as Ji Ling, they could all stand alone.

Yuan Shu also ordered Li Feng, the captain of the Hou Army, and Liang Gang, the captain of the left army, to assist him. Each led a thousand soldiers and horses to attack Hengjiangjin, and to Likou. The general Ji Ling and the captain of the Central Army, Leju, guarded Niuzhu. He was responsible for supervising the construction matters.

When the four generals left the camp and crossed the river to the west, Yuan Shu was worried, but his face was normal. Speaking of which, in the battle of Shouchun, the soldiers were damaged and the generals were lost. He even fled at night, and the defenders scattered. When they crossed the river, they were less than three thousand people. Now, the three thousand surrendered soldiers in Niuzhu camp have not yet returned to their hearts, so they are not enough to use them. Only one thousand soldiers and horses are left, and Ji Ling commanded them. If they are not careful, the camp will roar and cause chaos. At the least, the camp will destroy the camp, and at the worst, the army will be destroyed. We must be guarded.

From Nanyang to the defeat in Shouchun, Yuan Shu was unexpectedly surprised.

Hengjiangjin, Danglikou, is located in Liyang, opposite Niuzhuji.

The ship behind him transported food, grass and supplies. How did the guards in the second battalion be suspicious? They introduced the big tent and took advantage of the opportunity to pass the documents and advance. Qiao Rui and Zhang Xun suddenly attacked and captured the guard general in one fell swoop. They forced the gate of the village. Li Feng, Liang Gang, Lei Bo and Chen Lan led their troops to the death, abandoned the boat and landed on the shore, and attacked the camp.

Seeing that the situation was over, Fan Neng, Yu Mi and Zhang Ying, ordered his subordinates to surrender and surrender to Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu occupied three battalions on both sides of the river. The soldiers broke out to ten thousand and regained their old appearance. Later, he led Fan Neng, Yu Mi and Zhang Ying to Shicheng and met with the Marquis of Hefei.

When meeting the emperor, the three generals were flattered. When they met the emperor again, they met with the great general Yuan Shao, and the heroes of Guandong, Fan Neng, Yu Mi, and Zhang Ying couldn't help but feel heartbroken. Since they served the emperor, they should have no other intentions.

All the generals united their troops.

The Marquis of Hefei asked for advice from all the ministers.

Xue Li stationed in Moling and Zuo Rong stationed in Danyang. "More than 10,000 people from each other, gathered everywhere", and it was not easy to attack. Li Shu had three thousand soldiers and horses guarded Wuhu, and among the three cities, the defense was the weakest.

"I heard that Li Shu is from Runan. Do you know that the general?" Hefei Hou asked at the high level.

"It seems to be heard of his name." Yuan Shao was not familiar with it.

"Since that's the case, can you say that you surrender?" The Marquis of Hefei must have this intention.

"I'll know after a try." Yuan Shao replied.

"Very good." If you can surrender without fighting, you will be able to

Wuhu was named Jiuzi in the Spring and Autumn Period, and belonged to the Wu Kingdom. Because of the storm and grass, doves and birds gathered, it was named Jiuzi, also known as "Gouzi", "Gaozi", "Zhuzi", etc. In the fourth year of King Yuan of Zhou (472 BC), Yue destroyed Wu and became Yue Kingdom. In the 14th year of King Xian, Chu destroyed Yue, and belonged to Chu. Qin divided the 36 counties in the world and then belonged to Jian County, which was still named Jiuzi. In the second year of Yuanfeng of Emperor Wu, Emperor Wu changed the 19th year of Jian County and led seventeen counties. Because there was a Changhu nearby, "the water storage was not deep and the Wu algae was born", he was named Wuhu. The name of Wuhu County began here.

Now Han Dynasty inherited it.

Wuhu is located on the south bank of the Zhongjiang River (Shuiyang River). It connects to the Yangtze River in the west and connects to Zhenze (Taihu Lake) in the east, and is the key to the east and west water roads. Today, the prosperity of the Han Dynasty has begun to appear. In the Southern Tang Dynasty, it was "the towers are lined up and the fireworks are thousands of families". In the Song Dynasty, the commercial city was built, and the "ten-mile long street, department stores are gathered, and the city sounds like tide". Wuhu Port was opened in the Ming Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty was a huge market for rice industry and the first of the "four major rice markets".

Nowadays, it is the pinnacle of the Great River civilization, and the Jiangdong has not yet been reclaimed.
