Let’s first look at how Zhuge Liang explains the name “I am a commoner who works in Nanyang”. Some people say that if it is in Xiangyang, why not say “I am a commoner and work hard in Nanyang”? , work hard in Xiangyang"? I think the person who made this statement is quite interesting and lacks common sense. Why do you say this?

When Zhuge Liang was a child, his father died early, so he followed his uncle Zhuge Xuan to Jingzhou to join Liu Biao. Xiangyang County was in the 13th year of Jian'an. Cao Cao divided the northern part of Nan County into Xiangyang. The city was the administrative center, and Xiangyang County was established. There was no Xiangyang County at that time, so Zhuge Liang would not say that he worked in Xiangyang.

There are records in the Spring and Autumn Period of the Han, Jin and Jin Dynasties: Zhuge Liang's home was Deng County in Nanyang, twenty miles west of Xiangyang City, and that place was called Longzhong. Let's analyze this sentence carefully. This sentence means that Zhuge Liang's home is in Longzhong, and Longzhong is in Deng County in Nanyang, so Longzhong naturally belongs to Nanyang.

Longzhong is twenty miles west of Xiangyang City. This only indicates the geographical location of Longzhong, indicating that Longzhong is close to Xiangyang City. It is obviously far away from Wancheng, the seat of Nanyang County, and is relatively close. , does not mean that we must be subject to its jurisdiction. This must be a truth that everyone knows.

Many people say that what they learned was farming in Nanyang, not Xiangyang. In fact, no one said that Zhuge Liang worked in Xiangyang. What Xiangyang said is that the Longzhong Three Kingdoms period belonged to Nanyang, so he cultivated Nanyang, and Longzhong now belongs to Xiangyang City, so the statement about Xiangyang does not mean he cultivated Xiangyang.

But Zhuge Liang farmed in Longzhong, and now Longzhong is located in Xiangyang City, not Nanyang City. Therefore, it is simply wrong to say that he worked hard in Xiangyang.

Some people think that Longzhong is on the south bank of the Han River, so why does it belong to Nanyang County and not Nanjun? Isn’t it recorded that Nanyang County and Nan County are bounded by the Han River? There are several problems with this statement: Taking the Han River as the boundary was hundreds of years ago, but there were more than thirty counties in the Qin Dynasty and more than a hundred counties in the Han Dynasty. Will the boundaries between counties remain unchanged?

How are the many counties divided? Furthermore, using so-and-so as the boundary is only approximate. Furthermore, hundreds of years have passed. In addition, there are actually many counties that cross the Han River and belong to Nanyang County. Therefore, the Han River boundary The argument is simply untenable and insufficient to refute.

Actually, Nanyang said there was a big problem, that is, they ignored an issue, that is, there was no record at all to explain Zhuge Liang's activities in Wancheng. In addition, Wancheng was already under Cao Cao's control at this time. How did Liu Bei go to Cao Cao's territory to visit the thatched cottage? This is very illogical. Moreover, the place name Wollongong only appeared very late.

Both Xu Shu and Sima Hui were from Yingchuan, so why did they go to Jingzhou? Because the Central Plains is caught in a melee, while Jingzhou is relatively stable, and Xiangyang City is the seat of Jingzhou. Although Nanyang County also belongs to Jingzhou, it has been in a melee because it borders Cao Cao's forces.

There is no need to say more about those people who immediately identify Nanyang County as being from Nanyang City when they see Nanyang County. Nanyang County and Nanyang City are two different concepts, although most of them overlap. , but it is not an absolute overlap. There are too many examples that can be cited. For example, Fancheng and Zaoyang City, Liu Xiu's hometown, were both part of Nanyang County first, and later in the current Xiangyang City.

In addition, there is another key sentence in "Longzhong Dui", that is, Zhuge Liang said that when the world changes, he can order a general (Guan Yu) to lead the Jingzhou army to Wan (city) , Luo (Yang), Zhuge Liang would only say this when he was near Xiangyang. In addition, according to Wei Luo records, Liu Bei was in Fancheng, and Zhuge Liang went north to Liu Bei. If Zhuge Liang was in Wancheng, Nanyang, he should have gone south. Also, when Liu Cong surrendered, Liu Bei was stationed in Fancheng.

Of course, if Nanyang Wancheng can provide more favorable evidence, you are welcome to reply to the discussion. If he has always emphasized that he worked hard in Nanyang, then forget it. After all, I personally agree that he worked hard in Nanyang. This is consistent.
