The next day, after they got up, they packed their luggage and paid the bill with the inn owner. Then, they rode to Huainan City together.
They arrived at Huainan at noon and found an inn to stay in.
"It's still early today. It's only noon.”Li Shishi said.
"Yes, but let's tour Huainan City tomorrow. You can cultivate and refine Qi for a while more today.”Qiao Feng said.
"Yes, alright." Li Shishi replied.
Early the next morning, they rode their horses to Bagong Mountain.
Bagong Mountain was originally called Beishan. Because Liu An, King of Huainan, learned immortality and alchemy from Bagong Mountain here, later generations also called Beishan Bagong Mountain. Bagong Mountain was the main activity place of Liu An, the king of Huainan in the Han Dynasty. A large number of first-class scholars in the country gathered here at that time. The extensive and profound Huainan Zi was also born here.
The name of Bagong Mountain originated from the mythical story of Liu An, King of Huainan in the Western Han Dynasty, and his henchman Bagong, who learned Taoism here and became immortals. "Water Jing Zhu" said: "Huainan Wang integrity corporal, sincere love Confucianism, training Fangshu disciples thousands of people, are outstanding. The Dao of the Great Treasure, a secret technique of many immortals.
Suddenly eight princes, all white and bearded, came to the door to see him. The gatekeeper said,"Our king likes to live forever. Now you don't have a way to live in decline. I don't dare to tell you." The eight princes all turned into children, and the king respected them very much.
The eight men were all able to refine gold and turn it into elixir. There was no gap between them. So they buried the gold here with Anshan Mountain and rose to the sky in the morning. The rest of the medicine was in the container. The chickens and dogs who licked it could all rise. The place where he took the steps to climb the mountain was trampled by stones, and the tracks of horses and horses were still there. Therefore, the mountain has eight princes as its eyes."
From this myth, there was also the allusion of "When one person attained the Tao, chickens and dogs ascended to heaven", and Bagong Mountain became famous in the world. During the Battle of Fei River, Fu Jian of the former Qin Dynasty invaded the south on a large scale. Xie An appointed Xie Xuan as the commander of the vanguard. With 80,000 troops, he defeated the Qin army, which was said to be one million soldiers. It became a famous battle where the weak defeated the strong.
Fu Jian and Fu Rong climbed Shouyang City and saw that the vegetation on Bagong Mountain was human-shaped. They suspected that they were Jin soldiers. When they fled in defeat, they heard the sound of the wind and the sound of the crane. They also thought that they were Jin soldiers. Therefore, they came up with the idiom "The sound of the wind and the sound of the crane are jittery, and the grass and trees are all soldiers". Bagong Mountain became more famous all over the world.
Bagong Mountain was also the birthplace of tofu. It was widely recognized that Liu An, King of Huainan, and Bagong were the inventor of tofu.
Gushing Spring Mountain
The mountain was named after the spring, commonly known as Leiwo Mountain, 3 kilometers north of the city. In the past, there were Liu An Temple, Xie Yuan Temple, Xie Gong Temple, Yongquan Academy, Yongquan Nunnery, and "King Huai Dan Well" on the mountain. The scenery was beautiful and there were countless tourists. It enjoyed the reputation of "the first scenic spot in Huainan".
Today's East Fei River used to be called East Fei Water. The end of the river flows through the south of Bagong Mountain, which was a strategic place in ancient times. The decisive battle of the Qin and Jin Dynasties at Fei River was here. The water originates from the General Ridge in the northwest of Hefei, flows westward into the territory of Longevity, flows north to Dongjin Ferry, which is the ancient Nagase Ferry.
The Changlai Bridge, also known as the Fat Bridge, circled the northeast of the city and crossed the North Gate Bridge. It was known as the "First Bridge of Huainan" in history. It flowed northwest and entered the Huai River at the southwest foot of Bagong Mountain. This was the ancient Feikou, now called the Hekou. During the Battle of Fei River, the Qin army had forced their way into the Fei River.
It probably starts from the southern end of Nagase Tianjin in the south and reaches the Feikou section where the Fei River flows into the Huaihe River in the north. The Shui Jing Zhu also says that there is a winding water hall in the northwest flow of the Fei River."It flows northwest again. Once upon a time, in the Jin Dynasty, Xie Xuan drove Fu Jian to Mount Yi Bagong and set up a battle array on the bank of the Fei River. The vegetation on Mount Jian Wang was in the shape of a human. This was the place where he was defeated.”
After the fall of the Western Jin Dynasty, Fu Jian, the former Qin Emperor who had established Chang 'an as his capital, united the Central Plains. In the winter of the seventh year of the Taiyuan period of the Jin Dynasty, he met with his ministers to plot to destroy the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The ministers all said that they could not plot against him. Fu Jian did not listen and thought,"Now, with our troops, we can throw our whips into the river and cut off its flow. What danger is there to rely on?"
Finally, on August 8 of the following year, he led more than 600,000 Rong soldiers and 270,000 cavalry to attack the Jin Dynasty southward. Fu Rong led Zhang Hao and Murong Chui to lead 250,000 infantry and cavalry. On October 18, he captured Shouyang City, the city guarding the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Guo Bao was appointed prefect of Huainan and Liang Cheng was stationed in Luojian.
Jin sent Hu Bin led 5,000 navy reinforcements Shouyang, heard that Shouyang fell, retreat to the stone; Xie Shi and Xie Xuan's troops were stationed twenty-five miles east of Luojian. Hu Bin, because of the lack of grain and fodder in Queshi, sent a letter to Xie Shi. On the way, he was captured by Fu Rong. Fu Rong immediately reported to Fu Jian in Xiangcheng that "the thieves are few and easy to capture."
Fu Jian left his army in Xiangcheng and personally led 8,000 light cavalry to Shouyang day and night. He also sent Zhu Xu, the captured general of Jin when Xiangyang was captured in February of the fourth year of Taiyuan, to Xie Shi's camp to persuade him to surrender.
Zhu Xu suggested to Xie Shi,"If the Qin army comes, it will be difficult to fight against them. Now we should attack them quickly before they gather. If we defeat their vanguard, they will lose their morale and can be defeated.”Xie Shi and others used his strategy to fight quickly.
In November, Liu Laozhi, the general of the State of Jin, led 5,000 elite soldiers to attack Luojian, killed Liang Cheng and Wang Yong, the prefect of Yiyang of the State of Qin, and captured Wang Xian, the governor of Yangzhou of the State of Qin. The Qin army was defeated. Fu Jian and Fu Rong boarded the tower of Shouyang to watch. They saw the Jin army in a neat array. They looked at the vegetation on Bagong Mountain and thought it was the Jin army. They turned back and said to Fu Rong,"This is also a strong enemy. What is weak?" Fu Jian was disappointed and afraid.
The Jin army took advantage of the Qin army's approach to Fei City to form a battle array, so that the Qin army could not pass through. Xie Xuan sent a messenger to Yang Rong, Duke of Yangping, saying,"You have sent your army deep into the enemy's territory and set up an array to approach the water. This is a plan to hold on for a long time, not to fight quickly. Wouldn't it be better to move the battle array slightly back so that the Jin army could cross the river and decide the outcome?”
The generals of Qin said,"We are outnumbered. It is better to stop them so that they cannot cross the river. We can be safe."”Fu Jian did not listen, thinking,"As long as we lead our troops back a little, they will lead their troops halfway across the river. If we use our cavalry to catch up and kill them, we will definitely win."
As a result, it was difficult to stop the retreat of the Qin army, and Zhu Xu shouted in the array that the Qin army had been defeated. Xie Xuan, Huan Yi and others crossed the river to attack the Qin army. The Qin army was in chaos. Fu Rong rode his horse to attack the enemy's position and wanted to lead the retreating soldiers. His horse fell and was killed by the Jin army. The Qin army was defeated.
"Those who tread on each other cover the wilderness and fill the rivers. Those who flee hear the sound of the wind and the sound of the crane are jittery. They all think that the Jin army is coming.”Jin captured Qin's walnut car, Fu Jian was shot by a stray arrow, riding alone to the north of the Huaihe River, back to Chang 'an, millions of troops left only more than 100,000.
The Eastern Jin Dynasty defeated many with fewer people, and the weak defeated the strong, becoming a rare example in military history. Fu Jian was defeated and the country was not unified. The country was divided for nearly two centuries.
The battle of Fei River left behind stories like " the wind and the crane were frightened, the grass and trees were frightened, and the water was cut off by the whip ", which made Fei River famous all over the world.
"Haha, this Huainan King Liu An has become an immortal! You have to work hard to cultivate too!" Qiao Feng said with a smile.
"Yeah, I also want to become an immortal like Huainan King Liu An!”Li Shishi said.
"We all want to become immortals!" Lu Fengbo said.
Then, they came to Shangyao Mountain. Shangyao was one of the four ancient kilns and was located in the northeast of Huainan City. It relied on the beautiful Shangshan Water Kiln and lay on the beautiful and rich Gaotang Lake.
The main scenic spots were the "Divine Mountain Ancient Slaughter","Cave Mountain Temple", and "Ksitigarbha Temple". The Eight Sceneries of the Ancient Era were: Qifeng Barriers the Sun, Dapei No Skyscraping, Rocks Open Fighting Stones, Immortal Bridge, Immortal Cave, and Wangmu Beach.
It was known as " The mountains and forests are naturally wondrous after all. The wind and moon are endless for thousands of years, and everywhere is picturesque and poetic."
The park has a famous poem written by Song Yu during the Warring States Period, Gaotang Fu.
At that time, King Xiang of Chu and Song Yu visited the ruins of the Rainy Dream Platform, which was called the " Upper Sky Platform ".
There was a Taoist temple built by the Northern Wei Dynasty, which was said to be the temple where Zhang Guolao became an immortal. There were also places where Zhu Yuanzhang took refuge and played when he was young, such as a flash of light and Qiuniu Lane.
There were many folktales in the courtyard, such as the Legend of the Queen Mother Beach and the Fairy Cave.
It was said that there was a mark similar to wheat on the beach of Wangmu Beach, and there were the footprints of Wangmu and Zhang Guolao riding a donkey.
As for the Immortal Cave, it had the 'Immortal Cave's magical legend, winding paths leading to the distant mountains; Who can see the path of the beautiful land, and who in the world knows the sky?
Then, they arrived at the mouth of the gorge.
The mountains on both sides of the gorge pass are quiet and vast, and the Huai River flows around. The torrential Huaihe River flows eastward and is blocked by Bagong Mountain. It turns back here and splits the stone into two halves. It takes the road down and forms the first gorge of the Huaihe River, the Gorge Mountain Pass. In ancient times, it was called the stone mouth, which was a gorge dug by Dayu when he was controlling the flood. It was also a dangerous place where soldiers were stationed in ancient times, the Huaishang River, and one of the ancient battlefields of the Battle of Fei River.
Since ancient times, countless battles had taken place, and the mountain pass had always been a dangerous place to station troops. "Shui Jing Zhu" said: "The Huai River flows North through the gorge, called the stone, on the opposite side of the mountain to form two cities to prevent the ferry." "Three Kingdoms·Wei Zhi":"In the first year of Ganlu, Zhuge Dan occupied Shouchun and Wang Chang stationed in Xiashi." In the famous Battle of Fei River, this place was an important stronghold for the Eastern Jin Dynasty to resist the former Qin army.
They left the mountain pass and arrived at Chun Shenjun's Cemetery.
Chun Shenjun Cemetery was located near Huainan City. It was the cemetery of Chun Shenjun, Huang Xie, one of the Four Gentlemen of the Warring States Period.
Lord Chunshen was from the State of Chu during the Warring States Period. His surname was Huang and his name was Xie. Together with Lord Mengchang of Qi, Lord Pingyuan of Zhao, and Lord Xinling of Wei, he was known as the Four Gentlemen of the Warring States Period.
During the reign of King Kaolie of Chu, he served as Lingyin of Chu State, with the title of Lord Chunshen. He was given twelve counties in Huaibei and later changed to Jiangdong.
King Kaolie of Chu died and Huang Xie was murdered by Li Yuan.
Chun Shenjun's cemetery was facing the water, with the mountain on the north and the lake on the south.
Finally, they arrived at Shungeng Mountain.
Shun ploughed the mountain, also known as Shun Guo Mountain, Shun Ge Mountain. Legend has it that Shun once personally ploughed here, so it got its name. Shungeng Mountain was surrounded by mountains and forests. The scenery was beautiful and natural. The terrain was complex. The scenery of rocks, springs, caves and lakes was different. The forest in the valley was beautiful and the green shadows were dancing.
The Old Buddha Cave was so deep that one could not see the bottom. It was said that it was connected to the Maoxian Cave in Fengtai. The ancients called this cave "the first cave in Huainan", and the cave mountain was named after it.
Shungeng Mountain was rich in springs. Some of them formed pools, some were gurgling, and some were gushing. There was an old spring on the southern slope of Zhushan Mountain and a small waterfall in Mahu Cave. The old spring was the most abundant spring in Shungeng Mountain. In the early years, the valley was blocked and dams were built. It had become the current Quanshan Lake. The lake water was clear and never dried up all year round.
After touring the Shun Geng Mountain, it was already 8 pm. The three of them returned to the inn together.
Li Shishi took a "pregnancy prevention pill" and Qiao Feng began to do it.
