Chencang district is located at the intersection of Chinese mainland Trough, Longshan Branch, Loess Plateau and Weihe Graben at the northern foot of Qinling Mountains.
South, north and west are surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the middle depression is open to the east, high in the west and low in the east. Weihe River runs through it from west to east, with mountains, rivers and plains. It can be divided into four types: the northern foot of Qinling Mountains in the south and the Longshan Mountains in the west (northwest), the Weihe River and He Qian Valley Plain in the east, the loess plateau and the hilly and gully region.

The story of clearing the plank road and hiding the warehouse
On the way to expand the territory, Liu Bang ordered his men to burn the plank road just to show Xiang Yu that he had no intention of expanding eastward. After gaining a certain strength, Liu Bang seized the opportunity to move eastward quickly. His ambition was to compete with Xiang Yu, so Han Xin made a plan of "building plank roads and hiding positions".
Chencang is the only place for Liu Bang to enter Guanzhong. There are steep mountains between the two places, and Wang Yong and Zhang Han are heavily guarded.
According to Han Xin's plan, Liu Bang sent Fan Kuai, the most trusted general, to lead 10,000 people to repair the 500-mile plank road, which was repaired within one month under military orders. Of course, such a huge project cannot be completed even in three years.
It is this that confuses and paralyzes Chen Cang's defenders. Zhang Han, the brave king of Chencang, never imagined that Liu Bang's elite troops actually touched the unknown path and attacked Chencang over mountains and mountains.
Liu bang successfully advanced into Guanzhong and gained a firm foothold through "the road to success", which opened the curtain for his career in the Han Dynasty.
