Chapter 107 The Imperial Capital Luoyang

Ten miles outside Luoyang, tens of thousands of troops are camped and stretched for several miles. Except for Huangfu Song who took away a hundred thousand troops and a large army still stationed in Chenliu, almost all other troops are here now.

Kyoto was such an important place that it was impossible for so many troops to flood in at once. Therefore, all the armies were stationed outside the city, and the generals of each army were preparing to wait for the summons from Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty.

Of course, after all, they are all meritorious officials, and the imperial court will not let them go and let these generals stay in the military camp for a day. There are officials in the DPRK who are responsible for receiving these meritorious generals and have arranged inns for them.

Live first.

Of course, people like Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Cao Cao and others don't have to go to the inn like Liu Bei, Sun Jian and others. As soon as they enter the capital, these people go home.

The Han city of Luoyang was the political, economic, and cultural center of the country and the largest city in the country. Industry and commerce were extremely prosperous.

Luoyang City covers an area of ​​seven miles from east to west and nine miles from north to south. There are more than 11,219 palaces, dais, palaces, and temples in the city.

Regarding the layout of Luoyang City in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Ban Gu described it this way:

"The old Zhou Dynasty was increased, and the city of Luo was repaired. The fan was towering, showing its wings. The capital of Han Dynasty was in all Xia, and it spread all over the world. So inside the imperial city, the palaces were bright, and the palaces were beautiful. Extravagance could not be exceeded, and frugality could not be extravagant. Outside

Therefore, the wilderness is used as a garden, and the springs are filled to become a marsh. The algae are grown to hide fish, and the grass in the garden is used to trap animals. The system is the same as that of Liang Zou, and the friendship is in line with the spirit."

In Luoyang City, myths about ancient Chinese emperors such as Ku, Tang Yao, Yu Shun, and Xia Yu are mostly spread here.

Emperor Ku's capital was Bo Yi, Xia Taikang moved the capital to Zhenbo, and Shang Tang established its capital in Xi Bo; King Wu conquered Zhou, and eight hundred princes gathered in Mengjin; Duke Zhou assisted the government and moved Jiuding to Luoyi. King Ping moved eastward, Gaozu Duluo, Guangwu Zhongxing, and the prime minister of the Wei and Jin Dynasties

Zen, Xiaowen's reform, the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the later Liang, Tang and Jin Dynasties, followed each other, a total of thirteen dynasties.

Luoyang has been regarded by the ancestors of China as "the center of the world" since ancient times. King Wu of Zhou Dynasty "moved his residence to Chengzhou and settled in China" when he established his kingdom. After the Han and Wei dynasties, Luoyang gradually became a metropolis, and "tributes were paid from all directions, even in all directions."

, Luoyang has made outstanding contributions in national integration and Sino-foreign exchanges and will shine for generations.

"The Residence of Emperor Weihan, Heluo Kingdom", Luoyang was once the center of China's politics, economy, and culture for a long period of time in history, and was also a transportation hub with roads extending in all directions. In the early Western Zhou Dynasty, the first

Luoyang is the center of the large highway network. Chidao Yi Road is as straight as an arrow and reaches all directions. In the first year of Daye of the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty established the Eastern Capital in Luoyang and ordered the construction of the Grand Canal. Thus, a network with Luoyang as the center was formed.

The north-south water transport network radiates to the northeast and southeast with a total length of more than 2,000 kilometers; the "Silk Road" starting from Luoyang during the Eastern Han Dynasty can run straight to the east coast of the Mediterranean Sea, with an endless stream of camels and horses.

Luoyang is the textbook of Chinese culture. Historical research shows that civilization first sprouted here, Taoism began here, Confucianism originated here, Confucianism flourished here, Buddhism was first spread here, metaphysics was formed here, and Neo-Confucianism originated here. Sages

There are many places where people gather together. Luoyang is also the main root of the surname and the root of the Hakka people.

Luoyang represents the earliest China, the truest China, and the deepest China. Luoyang City is surrounded by Mang Mountain to the north, Yique to the south, Luoshui River running through it, Hulao Pass to the east, Hangu Pass to the west, and surrounded by mountains.

Surrounded by numerous majestic passes, it is known as the "Eight Pass City", "the city is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and its situation is the best in the world"; and it occupies the "among the world", "pressing the Jianghuai in the east, holding Guanlong in the west, and connecting Youyan in the north.

"Jingxiang" in the south is known as "the convergence in all directions", "the hinterland of Kyushu", and "the thoroughfare of ten provinces". Therefore, in all dynasties, it has been a battleground for the emperors and princes competing in the Central Plains.

At this time, Li Xiang was riding his horse slowly on the streets of Luoyang. A few steps ahead of him was Wang Ting, who was responsible for guiding the way.

Wang Ting was the steward of Wang Yun's house, and he was the only one among them who was familiar with Luoyang, so Li Xiang asked him to be his guide and lead the way.

Based on the relationship between the Wang and Li families, when Li Xiang came to Luoyang, he naturally had to go to see Wang Yun first. However, as soon as Li Xiang entered the city gate, he met Wang Ting, who had followed Wang Yun's order and came to greet Li Xiang.

Behind Li Xiang are Xing Tian and the fifty personal guards he selected. These fifty personal guards are all warriors in the army. When fighting alone, their combat power is not inferior to that of the soldiers trapped in the camp.

As Li Xiang rode his horse forward, he carefully observed the imperial capital. The towering and strong city walls and the wide main road were so clear that it gave people a sense of heroism.

The war did not seem to have much impact on this ancient capital. At least for now, it is still prosperous. The streets are bustling with traffic, and from time to time, groups of soldiers patrolling the city can be seen passing through the streets.

From time to time, there will be young people from rich families, in twos and threes, in groups, heading towards restaurants or brothels.

However, I wonder what will happen to this great imperial capital if Dong Zhuo's rebellion happens again in the future?

"My nephew pays homage to my uncle." In Wang Yun's mansion, Li Xiang respectfully bowed to Wang Situ as a junior.

I saw that this Wang Situ had a long beard, kind eyebrows and kind eyes, bright eyes, and high energy. Wearing a gray silk robe with patterns, he looked like a Confucian scholar.

"My nephew, you are so polite. The last time you and I met, you were probably still a young child. Now, more than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye." Wang Yun laughed.

What Wang Yun said is true. Li Xiang's uncle Li Ming's wife is a direct descendant of the Wang family in Taiyuan, and Wang Yun is a close brother and sister.

Therefore, when Wang Yun was young, he often came to Li's house, and naturally saw Li Xiang often, but the Li Xiang at that time was not the Li Xiang after time travel.

"System, detect Wang Yun's fourth dimension." Li Xiang secretly said.

Li Xiang now wants to know what abilities this person who can single-handedly use a honey trap to get rid of Dong Zhuo has.

"Ding, Wang Yun, commander 52, force 49, intelligence 89, politics 88."

After reading Wang Yun's four dimensions, Li Xiang sighed silently. This was a bit different from what he had originally guessed. For Wang Yun, none of the four dimensions exceeded 90. It seems that the reason why Wang Yun was able to get rid of Dong Zhuo was probably

It's probably because Dong Zhuo suffered too much from the negative effects of his own Demon King skills.

Of course, it is not ruled out that Wang Yun has a skill that is powerful enough to support Wang Yun in plotting against Dong Zhuo.

When Li Xiang was tired from traveling, Wang Yun naturally did not bother Li Xiang for too long. He simply gave Li Xiang some instructions about what he needed to pay attention to during his pilgrimage tomorrow, and Wang Yun directly arranged for Li Xiang to go first.

Went down to rest.
