The big "Han" character with black characters on red background flutters high under the crowds of thousands of five-color military flags.
More than ten battalions of soldiers were arranged in a square formation and stood flat. Nearly 10,000 soldiers lined up along both sides of the road, like trees beside the road, indicating Liu Bei's direction of progress. The unprecedented victory made the soldiers cheer and sing, but when Liu Bei passed by, they were all solemn. On the open field, only the sound of Liu Bei and his subordinates riding horses forward were heard.
Liu Bei set out from the camp in Maolingyi, went east along the Wei River, and went straight to Zhongwei Bridge. After crossing the bridge, he approached Chang'an City.
An old saying goes: The Wei River runs through the capital to symbolize the Han Dynasty; the Hengqiao crosses the south and leads the cow to the ox. Now the King of Hanzhong enters Chang'an through the Wei River and steps on the Hengqiao again, which seems to symbolize that the Han family's laws and regulations are again reaching this imperial capital.
Guanzhong blocks mountains and rivers, and the four blocks are solid. Jincheng is thousands of miles away, called the country of Tianfu. The surrounding area of ​​Chang'an is the center and hub of Guanzhong. Thousands of years ago, the Zhou capital Feng Hao was here; six hundred years ago, the Qin capital Xianyang was here; four hundred years ago, the Han capital Chang'an was also here.
In the future, the brand new Han Dynasty, which is about to be reborn from the troubled times, will still be established here.
For Liu Bei, Chang'an was not only a major city in Guanzhong, but also a symbol of the Han family, but also a symbol of the prospering career of the King of Hanzhong.
It has been thirty-five years since Liu Bei vowed to quell the rebellion and reign in the seventh year of Guanghe. This terrible chaotic world has lasted for thirty-five years. Finally, today, the banner of the Han family can stand on the head of Chang'an City! The authoritarianism of the Han family, the system of the Han family, and the favor of the Han family can regain the old capital and then shine the world!
As he slowly approached Chang'an, Liu Bei felt his hands and feet tremble and his eyes were a little hot. He tried his best to maintain his calm posture, but the excitement in his heart was already like a huge wave.
He had thought countless times about what Changan looked like.
But on the way to cross the bridge and enter the city, the Chang'an in Liu Bei's heart disappeared little by little. What he saw was indeed an unimaginable city. The huge city wall was much larger than that of Chengdu. However, under the huge scale, it further highlighted the meaning of desolation and desolation.
After all, since Li Jue and Guo Si attacked each other and the emperor returned to the east, Chang'an experienced countless tragic wars, and the city was empty for a while. Hundreds of thousands of strong people scattered and weak people fed each other, so that there was no trace of people in two or three years. When Zhong Yao governed Chang'an, he continued to migrate the people of Guanzhong to enrich Luoyang.
There is no chaos in Xijing, and there is no sign of jackals and tigers. I don’t see anything when I go out, and white bones cover the plains.
Now Chang'an is only a withered old city with gray-yellow rammed earth peeling off the city walls. The entire Guanzhong is just a barren and empty land.
The wars in the troubled times have caused the whole world to wither. The accumulation of the Han family for four hundred years has been almost destroyed by these troubled times. The people who have reproduced and thrived for four hundred years have become more than one ten, wandering and extremely difficult.
There are too many things to do next; the road to go is too far. Not only the battle with the Cao family, but there are many things that may be more difficult than fighting on the battlefield.
Liu Bei couldn't help but stand a little and look back at Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang smiled and nodded slightly to him.
If you entrust anything to Kong Ming, he will definitely live up to me. Seeing Zhuge Liang's smile, Liu Bei felt relieved immediately.
He continued to strangle the horse, cleared his throat, and wanted to say a few words to Zhuge Liang. However, since the Longzhong Meeting in the 12th year of Jian'an, there was too much to say between him and Zhuge Liang, and he didn't know where to start.
Zhang Fei honestly and unceremoniously crossed Zhuge Liang, and rushed from behind, "Why don't the king leave? Haha, come to the city quickly! Everyone is waiting to enter the city to celebrate!"
This guy was full of alcohol. He must have been drinking wildly after returning to the camp last night! Liu Bei remembered that he must have issued a ban on alcohol, but Yidequan did not take it seriously.
Liu Bei smiled bitterly and pointed at Zhang Fei with a horse whip: "Okay, let's go to the city quickly!"
It should be faster. Along the way, it was not just Kong Ming's merits. There were also planners like Shi Yuan and Xiao Zhi who praised the paintings inside, Yun Chang, Yide, and Xu Zhi's merits outside. There were many people who were waiting!
Liu Bei saw that the straight and wide road in the city gate continued, leading to the depths of the city, the Han palace that had been as tall as a dream after hundreds of years of wind and frost.
He saw Zhao Yun standing in conspicuously in the guards' team of knights at the open city gate, wearing ordinary armor and military uniforms, scanning the surroundings as if he was in war.
He saw many soldiers blushing and trying hard to stand up, hoping to show the most majestic posture in front of the King of Hanzhong.
He saw inside the city gate, there were rows of surrendered ministers abandoned by the Cao family, and selected civilians from the city gathered on the street. They saw the flag of the King of Hanzhong from afar. Some of them knelt down on the spot and touched their foreheads to the ground. Some were not afraid and looked out with their heads.
This situation doesn't seem to be true.
When Liu Bei was young, he never thought of such a brilliant scene; when he was desperate in Xuzhou, entrusted himself to Yuan Shao, and sent his posts to Xinye, he never thought of it.
In fact, since the attack on Dong, the world has become a world where jackals, tigers and leopards are rampant. There are more than just Dong Zhuo? The princes who were in the name of Dong were all traitors, and the Han Dynasty was just a fig leaf used to decorate the storefront!
At that time, the revival of the Han Dynasty was just a slogan, or a desperate slogan. No one believed it except Liu Bei. Even Liu Bei himself gradually lost the strength as he shouted. Until Kong Ming told him that the Han Dynasty could be revived and hegemony could be achieved.
Look at the situation at this moment... All the ambitious people and all the heroes in troubled times, have you ever wanted to see the situation at this moment!
Liu Bei walked along the deep and secluded doorway.
The sound of hooves seemed to echo, and the deep winter wind whistled past him and threw the light at the end of the door.
Liu Bei raised the horse whip, pointed to the front, and shouted: "This scene will definitely be able to reappear in Luoyang in the future, in Xudu and Yecheng!"
Because there is no enemy in the world that can stand in front of me again!
Because the revival of the Han Dynasty is unstoppable; because countless people who died in troubled times over the past thirty-five years, my companions who followed me, Liu Bei, and even countless heroic souls who had already died and were sprinkling their blood, were eager for the world to return to peace and stability!
The Han Dynasty will surely be revived! The world will surely return to peace!
I will definitely bring a new man and win a new future for all people in the world!
In the queue behind Liu Bei, someone replied with a strong voice: "I hope to revive the Han Dynasty with the king and rebuild peace!"
Many people said together: "I hope to revive the Han Dynasty with the king and rebuild peace!"
Their answers reached the outside world.
When Liu Bei stepped into Chang'an City, countless people said, "I hope to follow the king to revive the Han Dynasty and rebuild peace!"
The voice spread from afar, and more soldiers and civilians inside and outside the city began to shout loudly.
They shouted with ecstasy, either with gratitude, or with ambition. In the end, the military was in a trance, and the entry ceremony was inevitable that the soldiers had not rehearsed in advance. So everyone shouted slogans and praised this brand new man in their own language, expressing their expectations for the future.
And the words of millions of people gathered together and finally formed the simplest vocabulary.
"Long live! Long live! Long live!"
Chapter completed!
