Chapter 472: Chang'an Tunnel

Chang'an Mo on the infinite tree, only the weeping poplar tube parted. --------Tang Dynasty. Liu Yuxi "Nine Songs of Willow Branches"

It is said that Empress Fushou inadvertently revealed some information about the palace guards, which made Chen Long convinced that Emperor Han Xian and Wang Yun had gathered a lot of mysterious forces in private to consolidate imperial power, vainly suppress the power of the princes, and continue the remnants of Han orthodoxy. Although Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty is smart and wise, but people hope that the fortune of the country is not enough, although Wang Yun is cunning and cunning, but he is too ruthless and hard, although there are still many scholars who still respect the Han Dynasty on the surface, but they are contradictory in the collapse of the world, and they have to be used by warlords, or for the sake of the fortune of the scholars, they have to give up the national fortune of the Han Dynasty, and the Yingchuan Xun family is an example. Xun Yu serves Cao, Xun Chen, and Xun Yu serves the dragon, which can be described as preparing with both hands, left and right, it can be seen that the patriarch of the scholar clan considers the interests of the family first. The old patriarch of the Chen family in Yingchuan valued Chen Long back then, and directly asked Chen Qun to return to his heart and serve his life, how vicious was his vision?

After talking with Fu Shou, before Chen Long went down to the tunnel to investigate, he instructed Zhuge Liang and Wei Yandao: "Kong Ming, after I leave, you will lead Chang'an in the name of the chief military division, and you must quickly stabilize the situation in the city. The battle reports around Chang'an should be understood clearly as soon as possible, and after being summarized, someone should be sent to report to Master Ning's mother. The victory or defeat of Ma Chao, Zhang He, and Zhang Xiu is related to the stability of Chang'an. Let Xu Shu, Xun You, Huang Gai and others guard the four gates, and there must be no slack! ”

Zhuge Liang didn't expect to suddenly give him such a heavy responsibility, so he nodded his head and agreed, feeling the weight of the lord's trust in his heart, and faintly promoted him to become the head of the generals in Chang'an. Zhuge Liang was honestly afraid, but also proud, when he was a child, he loved to hug his knees and howl, reciting "Liang's Father's Yin", that generous and sad song, only suitable for people with great ambitions to sing. Studying with Zhuge Jin, Sima Yi, Pang Tong and several other people under Sima Huimen, Zhuge Liang often compared himself to Guan Zhong and Le Yi, one helped Qi Huan Gong become the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period, and the other helped King Yan Zhao almost destroy the Qi State, all of which established a world-famous career. Guan Zhong, Le Yi, one article and one martial arts, are all generals and ministers, and today I, Zhuge Kongming, am already the chief military division of the Qinglong Army! Although the merits of virtue are still shallow, from now on, everyone in the world must know that I Zhuge Liang is not arrogant, but worthy of the name!

While Zhuge Kongming was excited in his heart, Chen Long instructed Wei Yandao: "Wen Chang, Lu Yu's attitude outside the West Gate is unclear, after arranging the defense of Weiyang Palace, you will immediately lead the troops out of the West Gate to do a good defense." But don't start a war immediately, you can send your military advisor Lu Zijing to visit the camp, and if you can't persuade you to surrender, you can salute first and then soldier. Wei Yan originally thought that he was a little dissatisfied with being suppressed by Zhuge Liang, who had not dried his milk hair, but it happened that the lord put himself outside the city, so he could not be subject to too much restraint, so he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and said: "The subordinates obey the order!" Don't worry! ”

After Chen Long finished giving the order, he saw that Lu Chang and the others had already gone down the tunnel, so he waved his hand and prepared to set off. Huang Yueying, who came along, suddenly jumped out: "Lord! The subordinates followed, not just to take a look at Weiyang Palace! Please allow your subordinates to go down to the tunnel to investigate, and maybe you will find something. ”

Chen Long knew that she had a lot of research on civil engineering and architecture, and suddenly his heart moved, and he said with a smile: "Yueying, I know that you have a special talent, but this tunnel is pitch black, and there is nothing to look at, wait for me to find out first." However, there is one thing that needs to be done, and it is not for you. ”

Huang Yueying's eyes widened, scratched her yellow hair, and listened to Chen Long continue: "You forgot? The books in Weiyang Palace still need to be sorted out, so you can discuss it with your brother Kong Ming. As he spoke, he squeezed his eyes at Zhuge Liang.

Huang Yueying couldn't help but be overjoyed, and screamed: "That's right, the Luban book in the library of Weiyang Palace!" Thank you, thank you, thank you! Between the words, it seems that he has obtained the treasure he wants. Chen Long Zhengse said to Zhuge Liang: "Master Kong Ming, you arranged for Huang Yueying to be in charge of sorting out the books in Weiyang Palace, and sent someone to protect its safety. If there is really a Luban book, this book will be included in the top secret information of the Qinglong Army, only Huang Yueying keeps it, anyone who wants to consult this book must first be registered by Yueying, you approve it, and Mother Ning or I agree. "The so-called top-secret information is a secret work procedure presided over by Zhang Ning, and if the top-secret information is included, there will naturally be a set of protection procedures and leakage tracking mechanisms.

Seeing Huang Yueying's sweet smile with satisfaction, Chen Long was comforted in his heart, and if he could give full play to the strengths of his subordinates, I am afraid that any monarch would feel comforted in his heart. Chen Long thought about when he would bring about the marriage of Zhuge Boy and Yueying, turned around and waved his hand and jumped into the tunnel.

In the tunnel, Lu Chang and the others had already lit torches and lined up all the way forward, just waiting for the arrival of the lord. Although these forty people are only one special elite of Lu Chang, the others are also carefully selected from the special operations division this time, and they are responsible for the security of the surrounding area of the lord. The four captains of the special operations division, Hao Pu, Li Tong, Zu Lang, and Hu Ji, are mainly protecting Chen Long's wives and families, and the entire special operations division is currently mainly focusing on training and defense work around Xiangyang, which is under the control of Zhang Ning, Tong Feifei, and several other wives.

The tunnels are long and dark, narrower and more gloomy than the Luoyang tunnels. The whole tunnel is very stuffy, it seems that it was built too long, and some ventilation holes have been blocked, resulting in poor air circulation. The torch light flickered on and off, and Chen Longrang only kept the first torch to reduce the consumption of precious oxygen. Lu Chang couldn't move what oxygen was, Chen Long carried out some science popularization while walking, and Lu Chang and the others were amazed.

Recalling the Luoyang tunnel, there are two entrances and exits in the city, and one entrance and exit in the deep mountains outside the city, which are quite neat and flat. There seems to be no fork in the road in Chang'an, and it has been digging towards the west, and the soil quality can be clearly seen, and it is easy to walk, and it is not spacious and flat. Occasionally, some cat ear holes and other places were dug up, and they were used as toilets by their predecessors.

The air smelled terrible, and the whole team only looked forward, and after walking for about half a day, they saw that the tunnel began to slope upward, and it was obvious that they had begun to approach the exit. Chen Long calculated the distance, and according to the speed at which they were advancing, this exit was about thirty miles away from Weiyang Palace. Such a long tunnel is really rare in the world.

It is also a common operation to open the exit in the palace outside the city, so that the royal family can escape much safer, and avoid setting up an ambush after the exit outside the city is discovered. The exit of the Qiqi Palace covers a wide area, but it was established by the Qin people, the early name was Quliang Palace, and later Dong Zhuo changed this place to Huangbaicheng", according to the Northern Song Dynasty Xining scholar Song Minqiu wrote the "Chang'an Chronicles" record, "Quliang Palace is in the Huangbai City", it can be known that at the end of the Han Dynasty, Quliang Palace is still there, and has another name of Huangbaicheng.

Legend has it that in the last years of the Qin Dynasty, beacon fires broke out, and in the eastern part of Yaoxian, there was no rain for a month, and people's lives fell into water and fire. Suddenly, a colorful bird that had never been seen before, flapping its wings and flying slowly from the sky, passing by, thunder and torrential rain were like notes. The earth was moistened, and all things began to recover. People are grateful to the big bird and call it "祤", and the local area is also named "祤". During the Western Han Dynasty, a kind of weapon cast here was called "祋", so later called this place "祋祤", and since then Quliang Palace is also called 祋祤 Palace.

The tunnel rises slightly, leading to the exit of the palace. Chen Long and the others cautiously approached the stone steps at the end of the tunnel.
