It is said that when the shepherdess was herding sheep, she saw that the sheep often competed to drink the salty water from the salt well. Knowing that sheep like to drink salt water, and that this salty taste is also necessary for human diet, she told *** the location of the salt well, and from then on *** came to mine this salt well to make salt. The Suo people blamed the shepherdess for telling the secret to the police, luring him to the Yanjing area would crowd out the local Mosuo people, so they killed the Mosuo shepherdess.

Liangshan is located in the Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture in the southwest of Sichuan Province, China.

The southeast branch of Daxue Mountain. To the northwest are the Daxiang Mountains and Xiaoxiang Mountains, to the southeast across the Jinsha River and Wulian Peak, and to the northeast they merge into the Sichuan Basin.

At an altitude of 2000~4500 meters, it is the watershed of Jinsha River and Mabian River. With Huangmaogeng as the boundary, it is bounded by Xiaoliang Mountain in the east and Daliang Mountain in the west.

Rich forests and mineral resources. In the third year of Jianxing (AD 225) during the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of the Shu Kingdom, personally led an army to the south and quelled the rebellion in the south. During this period, the widely circulated story of Meng Huo being captured six times and seven surrendered occurred.

According to scholars' research, the phrase "seven vertical movements and seven captures" does exist in historical records, but that's all, and the records are quite sketchy. Later, "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" described it vividly and vividly in more than 40,000 words, and carried out amazing artistic processing, so that women and children were fully aware of it.

Some Yi elders still respectfully call Zhuge Liang Mr. Kongming. There have been various legends about the ruins of Liangshan during Zhuge Liang's southern expedition over the years.

The "Nanzhong" of the Shu Han Dynasty was called "Southwestern Yi" in the Han Dynasty, which mainly included present-day Yunnan, western Guizhou and southwestern Sichuan. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were four counties in Nazhong: Yongchang County (the administrative center is in today's Baoshan, Yunnan), Yizhou County (the administrative center is in today's Jinning, Yunnan), Yuexi (Xi) County (the administrative center is in today's Xichang, Sichuan), and Zangda County (The administrative center is in today's Huangping, Guizhou).

The jurisdiction of Yuexi County is: present-day Liangshan Prefecture, Panzhihua City, Pingshan in Yibin area, Lijiang area in Yunnan Province, and Dayao and Yongren in Chuxiong Prefecture. At that time, Shu failed in the war against Wu, and Liu Bei died. In the first year of Jianxing (223), rebellions broke out in various counties in Nanzhong one after another.

First, Yong Kai, a powerful man from Yizhou County, killed Zhengang, the prefect sent by the Shu Kingdom, and Zhu Bao, the chief minister of Zangda County, responded. Gao Ding, the Sou Shuai (minority leader) of Yuexi County, also "raised the county to become king in order to rebel" after killing the county general Jiao Huang.

In order to stabilize the rear and control the Central Plains, Zhuge Liang personally led his army to the south in the spring of the third year of Jianxing (March 225). The troops were divided into three groups: Ma Zhong led the East Route Army, which drove directly from Bodao in southern Sichuan to Zangzhou and attacked Zhu Bao; Li Zhu led the Middle Route Army to attack Yizhou County and attack Yong Kai and Meng Huo's home bases.

Zhuge Liang personally commanded the West Route Army. As the main force of the southern expedition, he set out from Chengdu to Anshang (today's Pingshan). Together with Gong Lu, the prefect of Yuejun who lived in Anshang at the time, he took the water route into Yuejun. . It was agreed that the three armies would finally meet at Dian Lake in Yizhou County.

When Zhuge Liang set out, Ma Di, who had served as the prefect of Yuejun and was familiar with the situation in the city, was sent dozens of miles away. He finally said: "The top priority is to attack the heart, and the bottom priority is to attack the city; the top priority is to attack the heart, and the bottom priority is to attack the army. Fight for the bottom.

I am willing to win the hearts of the Southerners as soon as possible so as to achieve long-term peace and stability."

Zhuge Liang nodded repeatedly after hearing this. This strategic thought later ran through the Southern Expedition and has been praised by later generations. Not long after the Southern Expedition sent troops, from Yunnan Yong Kai, who led troops from the east to the west to aid Gao Ding, was a step too late and aroused Gao Ding's suspicion, so he was killed by Gao Ding's subordinates. So Meng Huo replaced Yong Kai.

Zhuge Liang seized the opportunity. They fought hard and fought a decisive battle with Gaoding in Beishui (now Zhaojue). They killed Gaoding and recovered Yuejun County. Then, they crossed the Lu (Jinsha River) in May and pursued Meng Huo and others who had fled back to Yizhou County. Meng Huo fought a decisive battle with Zhuge Liang in the upper reaches of Panjiang River (today's Qujing section), and was captured in the first battle.

Zhuge Liang was determined to attack Meng Huo, who had won the hearts of the Yi and Han Dynasties. Convinced, he sincerely surrendered, so he set up his camp and gave Meng Huo a tour, and then asked, "How is this army?" Meng Huo replied, "I didn't know your true intentions, so I lost the battle.

The camp I was given to watch today is nothing more than that. If you let me go back and reorganize my troops and fight again, it won’t be difficult to defeat you. "Zhuge Liang indeed let him go.

In this way, he was caught seven times and released six times. The last time, "Liang still punished him". Meng Huo said sincerely: "My lord, the power of God is so powerful. The Southerners will no longer rebel." The entire Southern Expedition, starting from the dispatch of troops, took no more than half a year. After the stability of Nanzhong, Meng Huo was promoted to the Central Committee of the Shu Han Dynasty as Yu Shi Zhongcheng, responsible for supervising the court officials and having great powers.

< p> Zhuge Liang commanded the army on the west route, and the specific activities in Liangshan before the "May Crossing of Lu" are unknown in historical records. Therefore, although there are many legends about the Liangshan ruins of Zhuge Liang's southern expedition, there is little basis for it. Even so, we can still understand it from it. The situation of ancient battles understands the respect of Zhuge Liang in later generations. There are four Zhuge cities, three Kongming villages (forts) and six Menghuo cities in Liangshan.

Xichang Zhuge City is located 30 miles away from Xichang City. On the post road, it was formerly known as Bengtukan, and later called Jingjiukan and Jingjiuxiang. There are still remnants of the city by the Anning River.

According to "Yuanhe Zhi", "Ming Zhi" and "Sichuan Tongzhi", This is the largest earthen city built by Zhuge Liang in Yuejun County, with a circumference of nearly 3 miles. Zhuge City in Western Yue, also known as Nunuo City, is located 17 miles north of Yuexi City according to "Sichuan General Chronicles". It was built by Zhuge Liang in Western Yue. The first city.

Mianning Zhuge City. There are two places. According to local records, one is 3 miles south of Mianning County or 80 miles southeast of the county. It was the second city built by Zhuge Liang when he entered Yuexi. .

According to the records, there is no trace of the other place between present-day Lugu and Manshui Bay, which was abandoned long ago on Wuli Mountain south of Mianning City. There are two places in Huili of Kongming Village. One is 80 miles northeast of Huili. It was the camp set up by Zhuge Liang during his southern expedition. Its name is still recorded in "Huili Prefecture Chronicles"

It is a small canyon. The Baiguowan River and the Yi Road (today's Sichuan-Yunnan Highway) pass through the valley bottom. The situation is dangerous. There is also a Kongming Village (also known as Zhuge Village) and a tent moat on the hill opposite Zhoujia Village, 10 miles south of Huili City. It still existed during the Qing Dynasty.

Kongming Fort is located in the south of Mahu Township in today's Leibo County, on a hill between the two rivers in the western section of the old southern expedition route. According to local legend, it was the base camp of Zhuge Liang's southern expedition. The location is also known as Zhongshan Fort. According to "Three Kingdoms", Zhuge Liang "wanted to gather his troops and attack them" and then waited for Gaoding's troops to gather in Beishui and annihilate them all.

Meng Huo in six places. The city is: "Two miles south of Dusi City" in Xichang "Ming Tongzhi"; Ma'anshan 30 miles east of Mianning County; the hill opposite Tuowu Bodhisattva Hill in Mianning, it is said that water fences and other relics can still be seen; the northern part of Meishi County; Yanyuan On the west bank of the Dachong River, in Huili Yundian Township, or in Basonggou and Tianbaoshan, except for one in the south of Xichang City, the rest were actually built by Sou Shuai Gaoding, and Meng Huo had never been to these places.

The old route of the Southern Expedition was the road that Zhuge Liang took from Anshang to Mahu in Yuejun County. It was on the bank of the Jinsha River in the northeast of Mahu in Leibo County in the past. It was the only way in and out of Liangshan from the Yibin area and was about 30 kilometers long. < /p>

There are still many places left. The roads wind on the cliffs, and some are cut out from the gaps between the banks, facing the surging river. They are shaped like plank roads, which are steep and narrow and difficult to walk.

There are many legends of the Southern Expedition in the Leibo area. 4. Resume of Yanyuan County, Liangshan Prefecture, Sichuan Province
