As the saying goes, there is a cannon fired early.

Pay the full amount of the donation first. On the time, how can Your Majesty make it difficult?

If the delivery is delayed after the above calculation. How can you get out easily?

The same is the payment. Naturally, sooner rather than later.

Early payment is mostly voluntary. Late payment, more reluctant. Since it is a sum of money that cannot be saved, the sooner the better.

The customs party knows that there is Chenggao County after Chenggao Pass. Nowadays, it is not a lonely level, but a rather prosperous gate.

Entering the land of Guanzhong, the road is smoother. The carriages and horses come and go, the decoration is gorgeous, and it is either rich or expensive. The road is congested. Even if it is galloping, it can't run fast. The northland is strong in Guanzhong, and it is not worth mentioning. is more mixed with the Southern Huns Hu Qi, and is even more unpopular. Even on the way, the pavilion refused to stay overnight. So they had to find an open space to camp.

Life in the car is convenient, and if you can't live in a hotel, Liu Bei doesn't care. The Southern Xiongnu also seem to have long been accustomed to being looked down upon.

Form a circle of vehicles. Fence off the open space and light the fire. Liu Bei asked Tu Teruo's corpse to share the burning.

The Southern Xiongnu king was quite reserved at first. Thinking about how to sit in the round fire pit is not rude. But when he saw the armored Linxiang Tiger Ben clasping his fists at Liu Bei here, he took his seats one after another. Take the dagger in your hand, cut the barbecue meat separately, and feast on it.

Get up when you are full, then salute with your fists, and leave with your knife.

The vacant seats were quickly replaced by someone else.

The king of the Southern Xiongnu couldn't help but be impressed. The intimacy between the lord and the minister can be called like a fish in water. How generous the warriors are. It looks big and grinning, and it is rude and etiquette. This is not the case. The tigers who follow the prince are all sincere and brave. Respect is in the heart.

Timid and cautious all day long, that is called a house slave. And not heroic. Even if there are groups of domestic slaves, how can they be compared to the tigers.

The Southern Xiongnu King thought so, and he was also relaxed and natural.

The down sweatshirt in the countryside can withstand the extreme cold. The king of the Southern Xiongnu asked Liu Bei if he could sell it. Liu Bei smiled, but also. This asked Sister Wan'er to take a spare sweatshirt and give it to the King of the Southern Huns to try on. Sure enough, it was warm and light.

Even close to Luoyang, Shi Jian never let his guard down.

In the past, I heard about it, but I didn't care. Now that I have seen it with my own eyes, I know that the Taiping Road is terrifying.

In Shi Lian's opinion. The most terrifying thing about Taiping Dao is that you never know who is Taiping Dao and who is not. Even his companions, Paoze, may not disbelieve in this religion. Just like the long position of Wulinyi, it is really impossible to guard. There's no denying it. In the hierarchical Han Dynasty, only religion has the power to transcend the world. can make a Han official sacrifice himself to become a religion. It also makes countless believers fearless of death.

It's horrible. We must be doubly vigilant in the future.

After entering the customs, it is all a road.

The convoy traveled day and night, all the way west.

I suddenly saw a series of buildings on the side of the road, and I found out that Luoyang had arrived.

Liu Bei didn't remember entering the city before.

I asked Xu Rongfang, who had traveled to and from Luoyang many times, that Luoyang was the capital of no Guo!

Guo, the city wall also!

Originally. Luoyang City in a narrow sense refers to the inner city. The area outside the inner city is called 'Guo'. Therefore, the 'Chengguo' is actually composed of two parts, the urban area and the Guo District.

At the beginning of the Western Zhou Dynasty, the Zhou Gong built Luoyi, built a city here, and called Chengzhou. Because the city is in the north of Luoshui, it is called Luoyang in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. At the beginning of the Western Han Dynasty, the capital was here. Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty also established the capital here in the first year of his military establishment (25 AD). Because of Shang Huode, Luoyang was changed to Luoyang. Later, when Cao Wei set the capital, it was changed to Luoyang.

Luoyang, as the capital of the Han Dynasty, is better than the previous dynasty in terms of planning, layout, construction and decoration of the palace. And inherited the Western Han Dynasty Chang'an to develop the suburbs of the city, not to build the outer outline of the tradition. The overall layout of the city is centered on the palace, "choosing the neutral palace", and taking the axis of the main palace as the main axis of the whole city. Urban land is planned separately according to function, with clear ranking and symmetry. The streets are straight, like a chessboard.

The city of Luoyang is close to a rectangle. It is nine miles from north to south and about six miles from east to west, commonly known as "Ninety-six City". There are 12 city gates, three in the east, from north to south are the east gate, the middle gate, and the consumption gate; There are three gates in the west, and from north to south are the upper west gate, Yongmen, and Guangyang gate; There are four in the south, from east to west are Kaiyang Gate, Pingcheng Gate, Xiaoyuan Gate, and Tianjin Gate; There are two in the north, from east to west for Hubmen and Xiamen.

Outside the city, there are moats that are eight to eighteen zhang wide and two zhang deep.

The main street in the city leads to the city gate, and the main street intersects with each other and is divided into twenty-four sections. "Hanyi": "Luoyang Twenty-four Street". The width of the street varies from eight zhang to eighteen zhang, and the road surface is made of rammed earth, and the bluestone river eggs are paved on it. Lu Ji's "Luoyang Chronicle" contains: Each street is divided into three strands, and three roads are parallel. The center is the royal road, and there are earthen walls more than four feet high on both sides as the boundary, and the ministers and ministers walk in the middle road, and the general pedestrian walks left and right; On both sides of the street, four kinds of road trees are planted: chestnut, lacquer, catalpa, and paulownia.

There are two palaces in the north and south of the city, and there is a compound road between the two palaces.

Nangong was built in Qin, the present Han Dynasty is the place of the court and the government, it is rectangular, and the central axis is arranged with five halls of non-existence, Chongde, Zhongde, long live the thousand autumns, and Pingshuo. The north palace was built in the time of the Ming Emperor, larger than the south palace, is the place where the emperor's concubines and concubines live, the scale of the Deyang Hall in the palace is magnificent, can accommodate 10,000 people. Taicang and arsenal were built in the northeast corner of the city. There is Jin City in the northwest of Nangong, Nanshi in the southern suburbs, and Ma City in the eastern suburbs. The eastern part of the city is an aristocratic residential area, with Buguang-ri and Yonghe-ri. In the south of the city, there are Mingtang, Biyong, Lingtai, and Taixue.

Luoyang has "four cities". The gold market is inside the city, and the horse market, the south market, and the chestnut market are all outside the city. Private handicraft workshops and Luli are mainly in the suburbs, and only some of the government (Sangong), handicraft workshops and Luli are in the city.

The city is the inner city. Guo District is a widely distributed Luli outside the city. It is also the 'Da Guo' that is passed down by word of mouth. Compared with the inner city, it is divided into: East Guo, South Guo, West Guo, and North Guo. Four Guo districts.

Liu Bei couldn't help but ask. If you don't build a wall, how can you defend against the enemy?

It didn't take long to find out.

A majestic city gate appeared in front of the galloping road.

Xu Rong said that this is Dongguo Gate.

Luoyang Dongguo, with the newly opened Cao Canal (Yang Canal) as a barrier, there is a bridge built on the Cao Canal in the east of the Upper East Gate seven miles, called the 'Seven Mile Bridge', and in the east of the bridge, there is a Dongguo Gate of "three doors open". Luoyang Xiguo takes the 'Zhangfanggou' of "Luoshui in the south, Damangshan in the north" as a barrier, and builds the 'Zhangfang Bridge' on the Zhangfanggou of seven miles west of the Upper West Gate, which is called 'Sunset Pavilion' at the time. It is the outer pavilion of the upper west gate. The Sunset Pavilion is also known as the "Luoyang Pavilion", which has the nature of Guomen. Luoyang Nanguo is the area between the south city wall and Luoshui that is six miles wide from east to west and four miles long from north to south.

Luoyang "uses natural rivers and newly opened canals as a barrier for Guo District. The four Guo are all bridges and Guo gates, which are the gateways of Guo District; Or take the bridge and the outer Guo Pavilion as the pass of the Guo District".

In other words, Luoyang Waiguo is based on water!

Therefore, it is not necessary to build an external wall.

Outside the Dongguo Gate, Zhang Xiaopang was looking forward to it.

Seeing the Linxiang convoy, he stepped forward: "Big brother! ”
