Where did such a great man come from? This is basically uncontroversial, Pei Guo Xi 'an. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, it belonged to Yuzhou, so it was named "Guo" because of its princes. Guo Pei's rule is near Huaibei City, Anhui Province, and there is a city called Bozhou to the west of Huaibei City. This is the hometown of Cao Cao-Qiaocheng.
Bozhou is located in the northwest of Anhui Province, bordering Huaibei and Bengbu in the east, Fuyang in the south, Zhoukou in Henan in the west and Shangqiu in Henan in the north. Bozhou is a city on the plain, surrounded by the endless North China Plain. Bozhou has a long history. According to legend, Bozhou became a part of Yuzhou during the Xia Dynasty. West Zhou Wuwang ruled the world, became the fief of Shennong's descendants, and established diplomatic relations. In the Spring and Autumn Period, Chu destroyed Chen, occupied Jiao, and later changed to Joe.
Luoyang, the capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty, runs from Guanzhong along the south bank of the Yellow River to the North China Plain, which is one of the core ruling areas of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Further south, Huainan is Yangzhou. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Yangzhou was once located in Maanshan County (Liyang), Anhui Province, and then moved to Shouchun (Shouxian County, Anhui Province) on the north bank of the Yangtze River. Bozhou is undoubtedly an important transit point for Luoyang to control Yangzhou in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Let's look at the map. If Luoyang, Xuzhou and Shouchun are regarded as a big triangle, Bozhou is basically stuck in the middle.
Cao Cao's hometown is in Guo Peiqiao County, and Guo Peizhi's office is really not in George County, but Yuzhou, the upper level of Guo Pei, is in George County. The northwest corner of Yuzhou is in the suburb of Luoyang, the capital of China. The stability of Yuzhou directly affects the security of Luoyang. The Eastern Han Dynasty put such an important Yuzhou Prefecture to death because of its deep consideration.
The ancients said that "the neck of the Song Dynasty (Kaifeng, Shangqiu), the back of Yingshang (central and eastern Henan) and Shou (central and northern Anhui) are the boundaries between the north and the south, and it is indisputable that the world is contending." If others don't say it, it is Cao Cao, who is a martyr. Cao Cao welcomed Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty as his capital in Xuchang, but every time Cao Cao wanted to conquer Sun Quan from the south, he would always be in other places. As the precious son of Cao Cao, Cao Pi, the Emperor of Wei Wen, was the same after he succeeded to the throne. As one of the capitals of Cao Wei, Qiaocheng is an important transit point every time he goes to Jianghuai. As long as Cao Pi is ready to attack Sun Quan, he is basically making a decision. Apart from Luoyang, the five capitals of Cao and Wei are Qiaocheng, Chang 'an, Xuchang and Ye.
Becoming Bozhou was the time when the Northern Zhou Dynasty destroyed the Northern Qi Dynasty in the late Northern and Southern Dynasties. After the demise of the Northern Qi Dynasty, only the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the Chen Dynasty in Jiangdong competed for the world (not counting the small dynasty supported by the Northern Zhou Dynasty). In order to crack down on Chen Chao's plan to go north, the Northern Zhou Dynasty set up the Governor's Office in Bozhou to facilitate unified action. Not only in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, but also in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, as long as the Jin army went north, it often stopped in Bozhou first and then went north. On the contrary, if the Northern Dynasties went south, they basically used Bozhou as a springboard. Yang Di liked to change Bozhou back to Qiao County, but it was later called Bozhou. In the Southern Song Dynasty, Bozhou was occupied by the Jin Dynasty, which was equivalent to setting up a firewall for Kaifeng, the old capital of the Northern Song Dynasty (for the Southern Song Dynasty). "The (Southern) Song Dynasty could not recover Bianluo, because Bozhou was in the Jin Dynasty, so it was also." For the Southern Dynasties, guarding the river must be guarding the Huai River, and guarding the Huai River must be guarding the front line of Xu and Bo, otherwise the Huaihe River defense line has no barrier and is easy to be attacked by the Northern Dynasties. If the Southern Song Dynasty can control Bozhou, even if Kaifeng cannot be recovered, it will bring great pressure to the rulers' rule in Henan, which can alleviate the pressure from rulers in other directions in the Southern Song Dynasty.
Bozhou has a close relationship with the Song Dynasty. It used to be the capital of the Song Dynasty. Can you believe it? That's true. However, Fei Song was in the Song Dynasty, and at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Liu Futong made Han Liner emperor, pretending to be a descendant of the imperial clan of the Song Dynasty to establish the Song State, and the throne was in Bozhou. Bozhou belonged to Guide House in the Yuan Dynasty (once under the jurisdiction of Shangqiu in Henan, Suzhou in Anhui, Huaibei in Jiangsu and Xuzhou in Jiangsu) and Fengyang House in the Ming Dynasty. This division is of great significance. Bozhou was controlled by Zhili (South Zhili after Yongle). On the one hand, it could defend Fengyang and Nanjing, on the other hand, it could control Kaifeng, Henan, so there was no factor affecting the imperial court's rule of Henan.
