Luo Zhaoyun was in the imperial study, and received the news from the front line in Xiazhou, and a smile overflowed at the corner of his mouth, this Li Jing still has something unique in using soldiers, and he has no one to trust, so it can be said that he used it just right.

"Li Jing used troops this time, and the speed of taking Xiazhou City was very fast, if it goes on like this, Jingmen Mountain, Qingjiangkou, and Bailizhou, these three places are the three checkpoints in the west of Jiangling City, if it is successfully broken and goes down the river, the army will be able to reach Jingzhou, and at the same time, there are reinforcements from Hou Junji in the north, and when the time comes, Jiangling will be easier to take."

Luo Zhaoyun held the good news fold in one hand and pulled Xiao Liang's map in the other, and had a general understanding of the dangers of mountains and rivers, city ferries, and defensive positions.

With Li Jing leading the troops, there should be no big problem in eliminating the Liang State, unless the Xiao clan of the Liang State has some killer moves, otherwise, it will be difficult to resist the sweep of the army in the north.

Jiangling City is adjacent to the Yangtze River, in the north of the Yangtze River, also known as Jingzhou. The name of Jingzhou originates from "Shangshu Yugong": "Jing and Hengyang are only Jingzhou", which is one of the ancient Kyushu; It is named after the winding and towering Jing Mountain in the original territory.

The most famous allusion about Jingzhou is "careless loss of Jingzhou", which tells the story of the Three Kingdoms period, when Sun Quan appointed Lü Meng as a general and sent him to attack Jingzhou. Lu Meng knew that although Guan Yu was brave, he was very proud of his personality and liked to be praised, so he thought of a way.

Lu Meng pretended to be sick and recommended Lu Xun to take over and hide behind the scenes. And Lu Xun is a scholar, and Guan Yu looks down on him very much. In addition, Lu Meng and Lu Xun wrote letters many times to show their weakness, and praised Guan Yu in the letter, saying that Guan Yu was very brave and could defeat Cao Cao's army alone.

As a result, after reading the letter, he was really fooled, and regarded Lü Meng as a cowardly person with no real skills, and was not worried that Wu would come to attack Jingzhou, so he concentrated on attacking the army and city of Wei in the north, relaxed the defense of Jingzhou, and after Sun Quan learned of the plan, he secretly united with Cao Wei, attacked Jingzhou, and the defenders surrendered.

Later, Guan Yu was helpless, seeing that there was no hope of regaining, he was defeated and took Maicheng, was captured by Eastern Wu, and was finally killed.

The reasons for this are very complicated, and it is not only caused by Guan Yu's carelessness, but also the political mistakes of Shu, as well as the open guns and hidden arrows of Wei and Wu.

Luo Zhaoyun put down the map, his heart was settled, the affairs of the Three Kingdoms had disappeared, this Jingzhou City was handed over to Li Jing and Hou Junji to deal with, he didn't want to drive the royal conquest anymore, the decision of the court, the power of the imperial city, was the task he was currently facing.

"I haven't been out for a long time, and the capital is in ruins, and I don't know what the scene is." Luo Zhaoyun had the idea of going out on patrol with microservices.

If you don't go out for a walk in person, just by making decisions in the palace, it is equivalent to being deaf in both ears, it is difficult to hear the real scene, you can't see the real folk trends, and it is a good choice to go out on patrol in micro-clothes, at least in Chang'an City, the real side, you should be familiar with it as the emperor, and you can't be like Guan Yu, careless Jingzhou.

Zhong Dequan bowed down and said, "Your Majesty plans to leave the palace?" ”

"Yes, you don't have to go through the left and right Qianniu Guards, order thirty Ouchi guards, and travel with me in civilian clothes."

Zhong Dequan knew his majesty's temperament very well, and he also knew that he was strong in martial arts, accompanied by thirty first-class masters in the inner realm, and there was not much danger in Chang'an City, which was safe and stable, so he did not persuade him.

Suddenly, after the Ouchi guards were selected, Luo Zhaoyun also changed into a robe with an evil collar, the collar and cuffs were embroidered with gold edges, and the emerald ribbon was tightened around the waist, with inlaid jade on it, and the whole person looked aristocratic dressed, so walking on the street would also save a lot of trouble, because the clothes were a status symbol, and this one, the ruffian, the patrol officer, would not easily come forward to interrogate.

Out of the Imperial City's Suzaku Gate, directly opposite is the straight and wide Suzaku Street, about 150 meters wide, more than 5,000 meters long, the ground is paved with yellow clay and stone bricks, even after the rain, the ground will not be muddy everywhere.

This is the royal road, every fifty meters on the street, there are soldiers guarding, and there are guards on duty constantly, the people rarely walk around here, mostly some nobles, official vehicles, will be used to coming out from the inside of the fang from time to time, change lanes on Suzaku Street, or turn around, there are not many shops on both sides of the road, most of them are the door walls of the lane, the blue bricks and tiles, but also have the ancient meaning.

"Let's go, let's go to the West Market first!"

The West Market is one of the big bazaars in Chang'an City, and it is also the most prosperous and lively place, it occupies the ground equivalent to two miles and squares, in addition to the wide trade area since childhood, there are shops, horse markets, tea markets, salt markets, etc., which are the trade and trading places in Chang'an City.

After walking in, countless pedestrians, business travelers, and stalls on West Mayor Street crowded the otherwise spacious street.

Scholars with wide robes and big sleeves, Hu people with narrow sleeves with lapels, and civilians in short brown cloth shirts shuttle and walk, and the crowd is very large, which can be described as very lively.

On both sides of the road, there was a man from the Western Regions who was draped in a shoulder cloth and wrapped in a cloth scarf, selling his sandalwood, agate, and precious stones in the plain dialect of the Central Plains, and a Persian wearing a small-sleeved robe and a flowered fur hat selling rouge gouache from Persia and saffron spices for perfume.

In addition, there were also Nanyang, Fusang, steppe Turks, Tuyuhun, and Tubo, these foreign merchants from Fanbang, who sold the shops they brought here, exchanged money and gold and silver, and then exchanged them for fine porcelain, tea, silk, books, etc.

In Fang City, there are also small performance venues, with a stage set up, orchids dancing, and acrobatic performances in the Western Regions, which attract a lot of viewers.

Seeing this prosperous scene, Luo Zhaoyun nodded slightly, feeling that the improvement of commerce and trade was still good, Chang'an City was not too affected by the war, and trade was restored and back on track. However, the performance place was smaller, so it was decided to go back and send the Ministry of Industry to take charge of it, vacate a few lanes, and set up a goulan tile shop, which could add some entertainment and storytelling to promote the fun and entertainment of people's lives.

"Let's go, let's go to the inner square on the edge of the city and have a look!" Luo Zhaoyun left the lively Fang City and began to walk towards the Lifang in the area on the edge of the city, to really understand the situation of Chang'an City, you can't just rely on the most prosperous place.

When I arrived in the area of Honghuafang, I clearly felt the simplicity of the street, the ground was full of potholes, and it was raining for the first few days, so there were many muddy puddles on the ground, and some earthen walls collapsed, and the houses were broken.

The scene here is obviously very different from Suzaku Street and West Market, there are some dilapidated sheds, dirty beggars, and garbage everywhere, and no one to clean up.

When I arrived at Chunhefang, there were a lot of refugees in it, displaced, dressed in rags, the ground was full of muddy roads, and many abandoned houses here were occupied by displaced people, but most of the houses were decayed, overgrown with weeds, and rubble was destroyed, but wisps of cooking smoke rose, and the place where the pot stove was set up began to cook on fire.

Luo Zhaoyun frowned when he saw this scene, when did so many refugees appear in the prosperous Chang'an City? Moreover, living hard here, such a harsh environment, it is easy to catch wind and cold, and then die, and produce plague.

"Where are you from?" Luo Zhaoyun stepped forward

An old man in his sixties stopped, saw the people who asked for directions in fresh clothes and angry horses, and the rich and noble people were dressed up, so he didn't dare to slack off, and said with a fat hand: "Back to this official, we fled from Huayin, and there was a heavy flood in Guanzhong, and it rained heavily for more than ten days, and the upper reaches of the Yellow River burst the embankment, flooding the grange and houses. There is no way, we had to flee, begging along the way, and came to Chang'an City......." Speaking of sadness, the old man couldn't help but cry, and wiped the tears on the crow's feet with his sleeves.
