陈仓 / Chen Cang

陈仓 / Chen Cang enters the wiki through Hanji 148-1 as the central route and battle point in 韩信’s campaign against 章邯. The episode separates the later idiom “明修栈道,暗渡陈仓” from the full operation: Chen Cang is not a magic shortcut by itself, but the place where a broader design of army reform, flank feints, and central breakthrough becomes visible.

In the source’s telling, Han Xin lets 灌婴 and 樊哙 create pressure on the side routes while 曹参 reinforces the false main-force signal. Zhang Han shifts attention toward those flanks, and the Han main force comes through Chen Cang, defeats him, and opens the route toward the collapse of 三秦压制.
