Chapter 509 Soldiers besiege Luoyang City, the capital of Jin State
The Jin and Zhao coalition failed. Sima Shi and Zhao Kuo had to lead a small army to escape in a panic. They escaped quickly, and they temporarily stopped to discuss the next itinerary.
"What should we do next?"
Zhao Kuo asked that the failure of the war at this time not only would it be a powerful blow to them, but it would make them lose confidence in victory, but it would also make the situation they faced in the future even more unfavorable.
The most important thing is what should these remnants do next.
Sima Shi said: "Although we failed to ambush the Zhenguo army this time, it has delayed the Zhenguo army for a long time. It is estimated that at this time, a certain number of king-supporting troops have gathered in the capital of Jin.
In addition, the power of our capital of Jin may not be inferior to the army of Zhenguo. Therefore, it is still unknown who will win. So I think we are now going to our capital of Jinguo and waiting for the decisive battle."
The coalition forces failed to ambush, and the next step was the battle of the capital of Jin State.
This battle is related to the life and death of the Jin and Zhao countries in the next battle, and is a key battle. If Zhen Kingdom wins this battle, it will be able to destroy the Jin and Zhao countries and take a key step to unify the Jiuzhou.
But if the Zhen Kingdom army fails, then naturally, the Jin and Zhao countries can survive.
Knowing that the battle of the capital of Jin State is the key, as the royal family of Jin State, Sima Shi naturally would not miss this good show.
So under the persuasion of Sima Shi, the remaining forces of the Jin and Zhao coalition forces led by Sima Shi and Zhao Kuo, headed towards the capital of Jin.
...
"Kill, attack Huanglong!"
At the same time, after defeating the Jin-Zhao coalition forces, the Zhen Kingdom army cleaned up the battlefield, and the army set out again to fight towards the Jin-Zhao Capital. Not long after Sima Shi and Zhao Kuo led the remnants of the army into the Jin-Zhao Capital, the Zhen Kingdom army arrived at the Jin-Zhao Capital.
The royal family of Jin State was Sima family. In the Jiuzhou Continent, Jin State was also a very ancient vassal state. Before Zhou, Jin State had existed. Jin State can be divided into two eras, the Western Jin and the Eastern Jin.
During the Western Jin Dynasty, Jin State was very strong. At that time, Sima Yi, the ancestor of the Sima family, established Jin State and gradually rose, thus becoming a large vassal state in the Great Shang Dynasty.
After Zhou destroyed Shang, Jin State also experienced changes, and in its original extreme period of prosperity, Jin State was in turmoil and war, and finally became the current Eastern Jin State. In this process, Jin State, which was originally as powerful as the vassal states of the dynasty, became a dynasty vassal state.
It is precisely the difference between the two Jin Dynasties that it can be said that at this time, the Jin State was a declining Jin State, so it was called the Eastern Jin State, which compared it with the Jin State before it declined.
Jin State is a vassal state dominated by aristocratic families.
The most powerful Jin State is not the Jin State royal family, but the major families.
At this time, the Zhen Kingdom's army came to attack. The reason why Jin Kingdom did not use its strong strength to resist was because the families of Jin Kingdom were dragging their backs, which made Jin Kingdom unable to gather its army for a short time, so it became so passive.
Otherwise, it would not be so easy for the Zhen Kingdom army to successfully reach the capital of Jin Kingdom.
The capital of Jin State is called Luoyang.
The name Luoyang is very famous. On the earth, during the ancient Chinese period, Luoyang was called Luoyang and Yuzhou in ancient times. It is located in the western part of Henan and in the middle reaches of the Yellow River. It is named after its location on the sun of the Luo River.
Luoyang on the earth has a history of civilization for more than 5,000 years, a history of city construction for more than 4,000 years, and a history of capital construction for more than 1,500 years. 105 emperors have successively established their capital for the Jiuzhou. It is one of the birthplaces of ancient Chinese civilization and one of the birthplaces of the Chinese nation.
During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Luoyang was an important hub of the Grand Canal of the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Peony is famous all over the world because of Luoyang and is known as the "Millennium Imperial Capital and Peony Flower City".
Luoyang has been regarded as "the middle of the world" by the ancestors of China since ancient times. King Wu of Zhou decided to "move his house in Chengzhou, and his house is in China"; after the Han and Wei dynasties, Luoyang gradually became a capital city, "to pay tribute from all directions and equalize the road", and made outstanding achievements in national integration and exchanges between China and foreign countries, and shining for thousands of years.
"The Emperor's House of the Lord, Heluo Kingdom", Luoyang was once the center of China's politics, economy and culture for a long time in history, and also a transportation hub with well-connected roads. In the early Western Zhou Dynasty, the first large highway network was established in China. Luoyang was the center of the road, and it was as straight as an arrow, and it was far away.
In the first year of Daye in the Sui Dynasty (605 AD), Emperor Yang of Sui established the eastern capital in Luoyang and ordered the digging of the Grand Canal. At this point, a north-south water transportation network with Luoyang as the center, radiating to the northeast and southeast was more than 2,000 kilometers. The "Silk Road" starting from Luoyang in the Eastern Han Dynasty could rush straight to the east coast of the Mediterranean, with camels and horses in the Ming Dynasty, and camels and horses were endless.
Starting from the Xia Dynasty, the first dynasty in China, there were thirteen dynasties including Shang, Western Zhou, Eastern Zhou, Eastern Han, Cao Wei, Western Jin, Northern Wei, Sui, and Tang, which established capitals in Luoyang, with more than 1,500 years of capital building history. "There is no place in the world, and there is no hero in the four seas."
More than 100 emperors have given guidance here, so they are known as the "Thousand-year Imperial Capital". They are ranked as the four ancient capitals of China along with Xi'an, Nanjing and Beijing. They are the only city in Chinese history where the capital of Wu Zetian was established. They are also the only city in Chinese history named Shendu. The Heluo culture centered on Luoyang is the source and core of the Chinese nation's civilization. The Hetu Luoshu was born here, and Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, mystery, and reason originated here.
The Silk Road and the Grand Canal of the Sui and Tang Dynasties meet here, and China's national name originated from ancient Luoyang. Peony is famous for Luoyang and is praised by the world as the "thousand-year imperial capital, Peony Flower City".
Luoyang is located between Heluo and Luo, and lives in the world. It is not only the magnificent spirit of the Central Plains, but also the charming and romantic water towns in the southern country. After the creation of the world, since the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, Luoyang has become a god capital envied by heaven and man with the great beauty of the creation of heaven and earth.
Luoyang represents the earliest China, the most authentic China, and the most profound China.
Luoyang City, located in the north of Mangshan, looking south of Yique, Luo River runs through it, Hulao Pass in the east, Hangu Pass in the west, surrounded by mountains and surrounded by majestic passes, so it is known as "the capital of the Eight Passes", "mountain and rivers are arched, and the situation is superior to the world"; it is also entrenched in "the world", "the east of Jianghuai, Guanlong, the west of Guanyan, and the north of Youyan, and the south of Jingxiang", and is known as "the eight directions of roaming", "the hinterland of Jiuzhou", and "the thoroughfare of ten provinces".
Therefore, all dynasties have been the place where the princes and heroes compete for the Central Plains, and have become the most important political, economic and cultural center in history.
...
It can be said that there are too many records of ancient Chinese legends about Luoyang.
Of course, this Luoyang is not that Luoyang, but this Luoyang is the real Luoyang in the Jiuzhou Continent, and this Luoyang is no less than the Luoyang in the legend of the earth that has been destroyed in the era of great disasters.
This Luoyang is not only huge, but also magnificent. Just looking towards Luoyang, Qin Tian felt a majestic feeling.
This Luoyang City has been in Jin for countless years and has been strengthened by countless monarchs in Jin and Jin's past dynasties. Today, Luoyang, the capital of Jin, is not only highly walled, but also very easy to defend.
The most important thing is that Luoyang City, the capital of Jin State, also has a city-sharing formation.
Therefore, it would not be so easy for Qin Tian to lead the army to capture the capital of Jin State.
