Luoyi.

In later generations, it has a more familiar name - Luoyang.

The reason why it is named Luoyi is because "the breadth of the eight directions, Zhou Luo is the middle, and it is called Luoyi".

Luoyi does not have such a name, "Shangshu" called this place "Tuzhong", "Luoshi", "Luoyi", "Xinyi Luo", "Dongguo Luo", etc., and the Zhou Dynasty Jin Wen called "Chengzhou", "China", "Wang (City)" and so on.

Although the names are different, there is no doubt that since the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty, this has always been the base of Zhou Tianzi to shock the Kwantung princes, the place where King Wu of Zhou Ji was established, and the place where King Zhou Cheng "Zhaizi China".

King Wu Keshang, established the Zhou Dynasty, known as the Western Zhou Dynasty in history.

Zhou Tianzi divided the kingdoms, but also left the Zhou royal family two of the richest and most fertile territories at that time as the Son of Heaven's own land.

These two places are connected by the Kuohan Passage, the west is the Guanzhong Plain where Hokyo is located, and the other is the Heluo area where Luoyi is located.

In the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty, in order to facilitate the control of the vast territory in the east, King Wu considered building a companion capital in the Heluo area, but unfortunately King Wu died soon after destroying Shang, followed by the "Three Eunuchs" rebellion, and the Zhou Duke rebelled in the east, and the plan was temporarily shelved.

In order to fulfill King Wu's last wish to build the eastern capital, and more importantly, to consolidate the power of the early Zhou Dynasty and achieve the goal of "establishing the middle of the world to run the Quartet", the Duke of Zhou obtained the permission of King Cheng of Zhou after the victory of the Eastern Expedition and began to build the eastern capital in the Heluo area.

This eastern capital is Luoyi.

"Zuo Chuan: Three Years of Xuangong" contains: "Cheng Wang Dingding is in Jiajun. ”

"Historical Records of the Chu Family" contains: "In the past, the king of Cheng Ding was in Jiajun, thirty years of Bu Shi, seven hundred years of Bu year, and the destiny of heaven. ”

This "Jiajun" is today's Luoyi.

However, although Luoyi was built as early as the Chengwang period, in the Western Zhou Dynasty, the base camp of the Zhou Dynasty was still Guanzhong Haojing, and Luoyi was actually only a supporting role compared to Haojing.

It was not until the time of King You of Zhou, after the deposed prince Ji Yijiu (King Ping of Zhou) colluded with Shen Guo and Dog Rong to kill his father King Zhou You and his mother Bao Xi and the real crown prince of the Zhou Dynasty Ji Bofu to seize the throne and move eastward, that Luoyi became the capital of the Zhou Dynasty from a companion capital.

The decline of Zhou Tianzi's authority began with the relocation of the capital to Luoyi, which was somewhat of a joke for the city.

Although the relocation of the capital to Luoyi opened the prelude to the decline of the Zhou Dynasty, it must be admitted that Luoyi is indeed an out-and-out and first-class super city in the land of China today.

At that time, in order to manage the east, the Duke of Zhou built two cities in the north of Luoshui, east and west of Qianshui, and the two cities together were called Luoyi.

The city on the west side is the royal city, where the palace sleeps. To the east is Chengzhou, where the temple is located, and it is also where the Yin immigrants moved.

Between Jianshui and Qianshui is the Zhou people's settlement area, and the east of the Qianshui is the Yin people's settlement area.

Although Zhao Dan's Handan can be regarded as the top city in the Warring States Period, when Zhao Dan saw the Luoyi in front of him, he still felt a simple, heavy, and majestic atmosphere.

Far away on the horizon, two great cities stand opposite each other, majestic and majestic, making people awe at a glance.

Even if today's Zhou Tianzi has long been reduced to the point where any vassal state can be trampled to death at will, this big city that has experienced nearly a thousand years and once symbolized the most central power in China is still standing here, unchanged through the ages.

High-end atmosphere and grade!

Zhao Dan took a deep breath, his eyes stared at this majestic city for a moment, and muttered: "One day, the widow will definitely include this city in the territory of Zhao State!" ”

As soon as Zhao Dan's voice fell, someone next to him smiled and said: "The king's ambition is amazing, in the opinion of the minister, when Luoyi returns to Zhao, it will not be far away!" ”

The person who spoke was Yu Xin, and Yu Xin's carriage was beside Zhao Dan.

Because Zhao Heng, the crown prince of Zhao State, was still too young to supervise the country, Zhao Dan left his two uncles, Zhao Sheng and Zhao Bao, in Handan City, and only brought Yu Xin and Li Bo as the heads of the Zhao State Mission.

And the one in charge of guarding the mission was 20,000 elites of the Central Army of Zhao State, who were originally responsible for guarding Handan.

From a distance, Zhao Guo's team stretched for more than ten miles on the road like a long dragon, and there was no end in sight.

Countless horses' hooves and ruts rolled the road into mud, and the knights of Zhao State on the horses were full of energy one by one, and the whole army was full of flags in the sky, slowly approaching Luoyi.

After some emotion, Zhao Dan retracted his thoughts and began to silently calculate the upcoming Luoyi meeting.

As the saying goes, plans don't change fast.

After Qin Wangji suddenly proposed the option of meeting the alliance to negotiate peace, Zhao Dan had an idea and made a decision after all-night discussions with the ministers of Zhao State.

What's the point of the alliance between the two countries, if you want to play, then play a big one!

So this time, in addition to Qin Wangji, Zhao Dan also summoned Han Wangran, Wei Wangyu, Qi Wangjian and Chu Wang Yuan to come to Luoyi to meet.

Except for the monarch of Yan State, who is seriously ill and has a thin sense of presence in the borderlands, the six monarchs of the other seven heroes of the Warring States will meet in Luoyi.

This meeting of the six kings can definitely be said to be a major event in the Warring States Period.

More importantly, this event was facilitated by Zhao Dan, and Zhao Guo will inevitably play a leading role in this event.

According to Zhao Dan's assumption, if everything goes well, after this meeting of the six kings of Luoyi, Zhao State will completely replace Qin State and become the unique and exclusive super overlord in this world!

Qin Wangji, Qin Wangji, don't you want to trap the widow?

Don't you want to use this alliance to play psychological warfare with the widow and drag on time?

The widow wants to see what the expression on your face is when you know that the widow has summoned so many kings to meet you.

The widow wants to know even more, when everyone in the world hears that you are inferior to the widow under the witness of the king of Qi, the king of Wei, the king of Chu and the king of Han, how will the people of the world think of you and your Qin country!

Qin Wangji, do you really think that widows are so easily deceived? Wait until you and your Qin Kingdom are swept away, and go home and slowly regret it!

As soon as he thought of this, Zhao Dan couldn't help but feel the urge to laugh out loud.

Yes, in such a national struggle for hegemony, in the final analysis, it is still necessary to rely on fists to decide the winner, but this does not mean that diplomacy is useless.

On the contrary, if used well, the words that come out of the mouth of a diplomat at the right time can be as lethal to the enemy as thousands of troops!

Zhao Dan looked at Luoyi City, which was getting closer and closer, and his heart was full of pride and ambition.

This time, the widow wants to make the entire land of China realize a truth-

The era of the Qin State has passed, and now, it is the turn of the widow and the Zhao State to take charge of the bull's ear in the world!
