Pursuing the History of Hometown (3)

Bai Mapo is located at the lower dike of Baidaokou Town, south of Jindi River 1200m.

Bai Mapo was named after Guan Yu and Cao Cao fought here during the Three Kingdoms. It is said that both sides fought on white horses, hence the name Bai Mapo.

Synopsis: In February (200), in the fifth year of Jian 'an, Emperor Xian of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Yuan Shao, a priest from Jizhou, drove straight into Liyang (now the northeast of Xunxian County, Henan Province), and sent general Yan Liang to surround Baima and attack Ada, the satrap of the Eastern County, to ensure that the main force crossed the river south. Ada is in urgent need of help. In April, Cao Cao rescued Ada from the north and relieved the flank threat. Counselor Xun You suggested that the army pretend to cross the river in Yanjin (now east of Jixian County, Henan Province), posing as an attack on the rear of Yuan Jun, and inducing Yuan Shao to divide his troops into Yanjin. Then, the light soldiers rushed forward and attacked the white horse by surprise. Cao Cao followed the plan, and Yuan Shao really went west and reached Yanjin. When Cao Cao took the opportunity to lead the troops into Baima, which was more than 0/0 away from Baima/Kloc-0, Yan Liang was frightened and hurried to battle. Cao Cao sent generals Zhang Liao and Guan Yu to attack first. Guan Yu jumped on his horse, saw the commander-in-chief of Yan Liang, Gai (the general's chariot), and rushed straight at him, stabbing Yan Liang to death and beheading him. Cao Cao ordered the army to kill, and Yuan Jun was defeated and dispersed, thus solving the siege of the White Horse.

? Comments: In this battle, Cao Cao tried to change from passive to active, with flexible command, using a diversion to the west, and the raid was successful. Cao Jun's success in the first battle is conducive to the development of the battle of Guandu.

Besides, white horse gold. Baimajin is an extremely important ferry crossing when the ancient Yellow River flowed through Baima County. Zhang Shoujie, a Tang Dynasty man, said in Historical Records Justice: "Baimajin is three miles north of Baima County, Huazhou." Zhu said: "Baima Tianjin has Baima City in the southeast, hence the name Tianjin." The Summary of Reading History and Geography in Qing Dynasty said: "Baimajin is ten miles northwest of Hua County, that is, the governor of Okawazu." Hu Sansheng, a historian of the Song and Yuan Dynasties, said, "This river flows northeast from the shelter of Liyang and passes through Liyang County. The west bank of the river is the Liyang boundary and the east bank is the sliding platform boundary. Its ferry is called Baimajin. " According to the field investigation, Baimajin is located near the south street of North Suanzaomiao Village, Yuchi Village, Zaocun Township, hua county, at the western end (now called Macun, which was originally under the jurisdiction of Baima County and hua county, and was under the jurisdiction of Xunxian County after 1949). The local topography shows that the village is located on the south (east) bank of the ancient Yellow River. Looking across the river, the old Yellow River, which is five or six miles wide, is quite flat, and on the other side is Laoli Yangjing.

Regarding the location of Baimajin, the ancients had another saying in Huaxian County. In today's Shiduo tomb in the south of the Eastern Han Dynasty in Wangjiazhuang Village, West Bai Mapo, Baidaokou Town, there is a Longwang Temple. There are two stone tablets in front of the temple, which record the two reconstructions of the temple. The inscription reads "Wangnan Baima Ferry", which is related to Jindi Ferry of the ancient Yellow River in Baidaokou Town today.

Zhu said that the name of Baimajin is related to Baimacheng, so it is necessary to trace the origin of Baimacheng (Baimacheng is the early county seat of Baima County). Li Daoyuan specifically stated in the Notes on Water Classics: "The name of the city is White Horse, and there is a criminal white horse, so it is called White Horse City." In other words, the city was named Baima because it was killed as a sacrifice and built Baima City, hence the name. It is a popular custom in ancient China to make a wish or sacrifice with a white horse, which also reflects the profound connotation of the white horse culture.
