Will Cao Cao live longer without building a bronze sparrow terrace?

& lt& lt> In order to arouse Zhou Yu's resentment against Cao Cao, Zhuge Liang once said: When Liang lived in Longzhong, he heard that Cao Cao had built a new one in Zhanghe River, which was extremely gorgeous and widely selected from all the beautiful women in the world. Cao Ben is a lecherous. He had long heard that Jiang Dongqiao had two daughters, one named Xiao Qiao and the other named Xiao Qiao. He has the appearance of sinking fish and falling geese, and is ashamed of flowers. Cao Cao once swore: I would like to destroy the four seas as emperors, and I would like to get Er Qiao in the east of the Yangtze River and set up a bronze sparrow terrace to enjoy my old age. Although I die, I have no complaints. Although millions of people are eyeing Jiangnan today, there are actually two women doing the same.

In fact, Zhuge Liang's words are completely false, and Zhuge Liang only used Cao Zhi> In short, Er Qiao is in the southeast, seizing every minute with * * *, which aroused Zhou Yu's determination, because it is Sun Ce's wife and Er Qiao is Zhou Yu's wife. However, these words are the words of a novelist, and Cao Cao's original intention of building a bronze sparrow terrace is by no means so simple.

Why did Cao Cao build Yecheng as the capital? In the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Han Fu ruled Jizhou and set up Yecheng. After Yuan Shao occupied it, he still took Yecheng as the base and began to build palaces here.

The west of Yecheng is Taihang Mountain, the east is North China Plain, and the Zhanghe River is nearby. It is the only place where Qilu enters the northwest and enters the Youyan from the Central Plains. It is called the throat of Hebei, and its geographical position is extremely important.

After Cao Cao occupied Yecheng, Yecheng was rebuilt on a large scale. Rebuild city walls and plan streets. The concept of central axis is put forward for the first time in planning, which makes urban planning more reasonable and practical.

Cao Cao moved the Prime Minister's House to Yecheng in order to rebuild the capital. He doesn't want to go back to Xu county. The reason is that he thinks there are too many unsafe factors in Xu County, especially after the Zhao incident. In addition, Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty is now thirty years old, so he should still be in office. Cao Cao has no such idea, and his subordinates are not reconciled. Building Yecheng into a capital that is not the capital has the intention of starting over.

What is the significance of Tongquetai? Tongquetai is a huge building. It is an artificially piled earth mountain with a basement height of 65,438+00 feet. Five floors have been built on the platform, with the highest point 27 feet from the ground. There is a bronze sparrow terrace on the roof, which is 1.5 feet high, hence the name.

Tongque Terrace is one of the components of Tongque Garden. Before and after it, there are two sister terraces, Hujin Terrace and Ice Crystal Terrace, which are collectively called Tongque Terrace. There are a large number of government offices and houses in the east, where Cao Cao, civil officials and military commanders work and live.

The purpose of Cao Cao's painstaking construction of this behemoth is more for safety reasons.

In ancient times before the invention of gunpowder, the siege technology was still quite backward, and the tall castles and walls were quite safe. This is why it is easy to attack and difficult to defend.

To sum up, the purpose of Cao Cao's establishment of Tongque Terrace is not to lock Tongque Spring in the Second Bridge, but to have far-reaching political and military purposes.
