Empress Wu, Di Gong? Luoshui was shocked

After completely defeating the Western Turkic power group, they drove them out to the west, thousands of miles away.

Thus, it was established in one fell swoop that the Tang Empire's northwest frontiers such as the grasslands and deserts, the vast sea and the Gobi Desert, had no major wars since then.

After experiencing thousands of years of gold and iron horses, beacon smoke, time passing, wind, frost, rain and snow, the reason why Chakou Town is still the Chinese common people and common people in northern Shanxi persists in their flesh and blood. An ancient name that has lasted for thousands of years.

In addition to the flames of war and historical inheritance mentioned above, according to the definition of the word fork in"Shuowen Jiezi" written by Xu Shen of the Later Han Dynasty:"This is the place where the road forks" as the name suggests..

Throughout the Zhenguan period of the Guo Dynasty, the"Kuo Di Zhi" compiled and written by Li Tai, the former king of Wei Dynasty, included a map of the ten regions and 358 prefectures in the world, as well as the geographical public opinion.

The specific distribution of mountains, rivers, water flows, and geographical features from north to south and from top to bottom in the Three Jin Dynasties is the northern foothills of Hengshan Mountain, the eastern foothills of Guanchuan Mountain, and the western foothills of Xiong'er Mountain in northern Shanxi. They are surrounded by mountains on all sides. , and the Yunzhou Basin is formed by alluvial deposits of Sanggan Water and Muddy Water; the southern foothills of Hengshan Mountain, the eastern foothills of Yunzhongshan Mountain, and the northern foothills of Mount Wutai are all surrounded by mountains and ridges, and are formed by alluvial deposits of Hutuo River and Qingshui River. The Yiding Basin in northeastern Shanxi is formed; the eastern foothills of Luliang Mountain, the southern foothills of Wutai Mountain, the western foothills of Taiyue Mountain, and the northern foothills of Zhongtiao Mountain are all surrounded by mountains and ridges.

In the huge land of Sanjin and Hedong, except for the few above-mentioned old basin roads and official post roads that can accommodate a large number of carriages and horse teams and trade goods, all other places are either visible to the eye. They are all endless mountains facing each other, or they are blocked by endless mountains, rapids and deep valleys.

The location of Chakou Zhendian is exactly the city of Taiyuan in Bingzhou on Hedong Road, leading to the Anbei Protectorate and Shanyu Protectorate in the far north of the Tang Empire, and the Andong Protectorate on the seaside in Liaodong. As well as the Hutuo Ancient Road, Sangqian Ancient Road and Hunshui Ancient Road in Youzhou, a military town in Hebei Province, the most important key nodes are located.

About four hundred miles south from Chakou Zhendian, you can reach the military town of Hedong Road - Taiyuan City, where the governor's office of Bingzhou is located; from Chakou Zhendian, diagonally to the northeast, along the southern foot of Hengshan Mountain , the Yiding Basin between the northern foothills of Mount Wutai, passing Fanzhi, Lingqiu, and Laiyuan, passing through Feihuxing, one of the Eight Mounts in Taihang, exiting the Taihang Mountains to Yi County and Zhuozhou, and finally reaching the important military town of Hebei Province - —The Governor's Office of Youzhou has the city of Youzhou where the

Afterwards, go north from Desheng Castle to the Great Wall Frontier Fortress, and finally arrive at Shoujiang City, the residence of the Shanyu Protectorate in the north of the Great Tang Empire; from Shanyu After arriving at the city where the Great Protectorate of Anbei is located, passing through the Yinshan Mountains and the Mobei Desert via the Monan Grassland, you can reach the Mobei Grassland and Hanhai Highlands where the Great Protectorate of Anbei is located.

It is precisely because of the location of Chakou Zhendian that it provides transportation and connections. The three major Protectorate's Palaces outside the northern part of the Tang Empire: Shanyu Protectorate's Palace, Anbei Protectorate's Palace and Andong Protectorate's Palace are also transportation and connections. , in the north of the Tang Empire's frontier fortress, there were two major military towns: Bingzhou Metropolitan Governor's Palace and Youzhou Metropolitan Governor's Palace; and Bingzhou Metropolitan Governor's Palace, under its jurisdiction Shuofang and Hedong, and Youzhou Metropolitan Governor's Palace, under its jurisdiction Fan Yang , Pinglu, these four victorious border army garrison camps, with a total of 160,000 Tang soldiers and iron-blooded tigers; as well as the governor's office of the two major military groups, under the command of the formation, those dotted armies , Shouchu, town, garrison, garrison troops and other places, the crisscrossing military posthouses, Jijiao post, official roads, post roads, are the key strategic points where the vertical and horizontal intersections occur.

It is directly related to the three major protective palaces outside the Great Wall in the northern part of the Tang Dynasty, the two heavily-armed military towns in the northern part of the frontier fortress, four frontier army garrison camps, hundreds of thousands of elite Tang Dynasty soldiers and armored cavalry, and dozens of states and counties. Military mansions, hundreds of troops, guards, towns, garrison troops, and other local garrison troops, as well as Guanzhong, Heluo and other hinterlands of China, were the foundation of the Tang Dynasty's national destiny and military security.

It is also directly related to Mobei, Monan, Hetao, Liaodong and other places, countless Jisu Prefecture, Jisu Dufufu, millions of border residents, and border guards, who need people's livelihood, soldiers and weapons, Supplies and materials, grain and baggage, transshipment dispatch, and even critical matters of life and death.

Therefore, as early as the founding of the Tang Empire, the Ministry of War Yamen had a division in the Ministry of War, so it continued to use the former Sui Dynasty Ministry of War Yamen and set up a military post in Chakou Zhendian, and based on its original regulations, added Reconstruction and expansion.

A Chakou Posthouse was formed that was far superior to other posthouses in terms of scale and staffing, and it was directly placed under the jurisdiction of the Bingzhou Metropolitan Governor's Office.

The first year of Longshuo in the Tang Empire was 661 AD.

In the past thirty years, it can be said that His Majesty Emperor Li Zhi, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, has achieved decisiveness, full wings, high spirits, and rebuked Fang Qiu. In order to fulfill his father, His Majesty the late Emperor Taizong, he went on three eastern expeditions. Goguryeo, in the land of Liaodong, failed to surrender three times and regretfully stopped fighting. Depressed and unable to fulfill its last wish, Goguryeo secretly issued an edict to prepare for an eastward expedition to Liaodong and to attack the unconquered ministers. This was to comfort him that his father and late emperor were still alive in heaven. Heroic spirit.

In April of the first year of Longshuo, with the help of the chief military officer of Shenqiu Road, Xing Guogong, and Zuowuwei General Su Dingfang, in the fifth year of Xianqing, that is, 660 AD, they defeated the Baekje army and destroyed the great power of Baekje. His Majesty Li Zhi, Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, officially started the largest campaign in the past twelve years to conquer Liaodong and conquer the rebellious country Goguryeo.

During this campaign, His Majesty Li Zhi, Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, appointed Ren Yaxiang, Minister of War, as the general manager of the march on Bajiang Road, General Zuo Xiaowei Qibi Heli as the general manager of the march on Liaodong Road, and General Zuo Wuwei Su Dingfang as the general manager of Pyongyang. Xiao Siye, the Qing of Honglu, was the general manager of the army marching on the Fuyu Road. Cheng Mingzhen, the governor of Puzhou, was the general manager of the army marching on the Luofang Road. They mobilized 200,000 Tang troops to attack Goguryeo from multiple directions.

All of a sudden, the water and land transportation routes leading to the northern part of Hebei Province's border fortress and the military town of Youzhou Governor's Office were bustling with people and cars.

Almost all the supplies that were continuously transported to the Liaodong battlefield and the Liao River front line came from the ten realms of the Tang Empire.

It is true that seventy-eight percent of the weapons and armor, military equipment, grain, fodder, bedding and baggage, bulk supplies, military supplies, as well as the ships, chariots, horses, and troops of the Royal Navy all relied on the former Sui Yang Emperor Yang Guang During this period, the Grand Canal was dug and continuously transported to Youzhou Fucheng.

The other twenty-three out of ten, the massive supplies from the hinterland of Guanzhong and Heluo, as well as the reserve soldiers, laborers, army horses, camels, and mule and horse teams who could not bear to be transported by boat for a long time, were still transported along the three routes. Several old roads in the Jin Dynasty are flowing towards Youzhou City, where the Governor's Palace of Youzhou is located.

It was at this time that the importance of the key strategic location of Chakou Station was more fully reflected in the temples of the Tang Dynasty and in front of the senior officials and high-ranking officials who controlled important affairs..

At the same time, it also highlights the various serious problems existing in the Chakou Posthouse, whether it is the usable scale of the building, or the age of the camp and storage facilities, which are not durable.

Therefore, the report document that Chakou Posthouse was rebuilt and expanded for the second time, and was upgraded to the Ministry of War Yamen Jiabu Yousi, which was directly under the jurisdiction of the Military Supplies Posthouse, was naturally placed on the right of Shangshu, Kaifu Yitong, and the Third Department. The British Duke Li Ji, Zhongshu Ling, Gaoyang County Duke Xu Jingzong, and Zhongshu Shilang, Tong Zhongshu's third-rank Li Yifu, etc., are on the desks of the big shots.

As a result, this document was signed jointly by the Ministry of War and the two left ministers of the Yamen of the Ministry of Hubu. The special memorial, jointly endorsed by senior officials, was quickly approved by His Majesty the Emperor Li Zhi, and with astonishing speed and efficiency, it passed the approval, signature and seal of the ministers of the three provinces.

It has to be said that the officials responsible for supervising this matter have been approved by the emperor's decree. The officials of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household and Yamen of the three provinces who have passed the special affairs have a spirit and attitude of being conscientious and hard-working!

Inspired by their hard work and hands-on spirit, it took less than three months to build a building with many functions, including the scale of the building, the regulations of the grade, the military camps, the warehouse storage facilities, etc. In all aspects, the Chakou Posthouse, which is far superior to other military posthouses, rises from the ground at a speed visible to the naked eye.
