Chapter 275: Tiger's Den Yecheng

After a long time, the beautiful sound of the piano came to an abrupt end, and the aftermath lingered, and Liu Chan and others, who were immersed in the beautiful and beautiful sound, applauded repeatedly. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Suddenly, Pang Lin had a panicked look on his face and asked, "Young Master Liu, my brother Shanmin didn't come back?" ”

"Nope." Liu Chan took a sip of tea, glanced at him, and said with a lonely expression.

He turned to Pang Degong, waved his hand and said: "Pang Gong forgives the sin, so that the prince is obsessed, and he has turned north with Sima Hui and defected to Cao Cao." ”

Pang Degong's expression was calm, as if everything had been expected, and said lightly: "My son can't help my father." It's going to rain, and my mother is going to get married, so let him go and break through. The road is his own choice, and he tastes the good fruits of success and the evil fruits of failure. ”

Liu Chan carefully observed his words, although Pang Degong's speech was slow, the rhythm was steady, and he was not shocked, but his eyes were disappointed, and he knew that he was enduring the pain. A lot of black hair has disappeared before, and his demeanor is much older.

There is not a sentence in "Liren" in the "Analects", the son says: Parents are here, do not travel far, and there must be a way to travel. This means that when the parents are old and alive, they try not to be away for a long time. As a last resort, you have to tell your parents the reason, where to go? Why go? When will you be back? And arrange for the provision of parents. This Pang Shanmin, I don't know if he took Sima Hui's ecstasy, and he abandoned his father and mother! Liu Chan sneered.

Pang Degong was silent for a while, then raised his head and asked, "Looking at Liu Gongzi's appearance as a ranger, is he going to go far away?" Where do you want to go? ”

Liu Chan glanced at the outfits of Zhao Yun and the others, couldn't help but smile dumbly, and replied respectfully: "If you know Pang Gong, we want to go north and visit Yecheng, the capital of the Cao family." ”

"Ahh Pang Degong exclaimed loudly

"Pang Gong, why are you screaming?" Liu Chan was taken aback, and looked at Pang Degong's wrinkled old face suspiciously.

Pang Degong breathed a sigh of relief, smiled awkwardly, and replied, "Without him, I'm just worried about my son." ”

Liu Chan was full of doubts, and said with a pause: "What are you worried about?" Could it be that this Yecheng is the tiger's den in Longtan? Please teach me. ”

"The old man told you that Yecheng is really a tiger's den in Longtan." Pang Degong's eyes were blazing, flashing sharply, staring at Liu Chandao.

"Take the picture." Pang Degong instructed Pang Lindao.

Pang Lin responded and went to the inner room, and after a while, he took out a big map, and Xi Zhen hurried over to help her brother-in-law Pang Lin spread out the map together.

Liu Chan knew that in the ninth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shang and captured Yecheng in Jizhou. Cao Cao was originally a pastor of Yanzhou, but seeing that Jizhou had a vast land, abundant grain and materials, and Yuan Shao had been operating for many years, his political and military status was much stronger than that of Yanzhou, so he naturally liked Jizhou, so he returned Yanzhou and asked the Son of Heaven to offer the emperor as Jizhou pastor. In the thirteenth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao, who was also the sikong, dismissed the three dukes, became the prime minister and built a mansion in Ye. From then on, Yecheng began to become the center of Cao Cao's rule.

Pang Degong pointed to the map, his eyes burned, and said: "In the first year of Jian'an, after Cao Cao defeated the Yellow Turban Army, Zao, the supervisor of Yulin, who had been the commander of Dong'e County, proposed to implement the tuntian system. After many persuasions, Zao Yi was appointed as the governor of Tuntian, Han Hao as an assistant, and Ren Jun as a general of Diannong Zhonglang, and set up Tuntian institutions in Xuchang and other places. Fugitive peasants who had lost their land were recruited to cultivate and reclaim wasteland, and laws were enacted to strictly prohibit the big landlords from taking over by force, so that agricultural production could be quickly restored. Cao Cao also practiced meritocracy and ruled the army by law, and his political and military power was unprecedentedly strengthened. In the first battle of Guandu, he defeated Yuan Shao and unified the north. After Cao Cao destroyed Yuan Shao's father and son, in order to strengthen his rear base, he began to build a new capital, Yecheng. After several years of large-scale construction and operation, Yecheng has become increasingly prosperous. Often live here, some time ago the old thief in Xuchang Prime Minister's Mansion after the nightmare of three horses fighting for the trough, he began to live in Yecheng, less in Xudu. The government ordered the army to come out from here, and the capital of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, Chang, left only a few officials. ”

Liu Chan looked at the detailed map with great interest, and was overjoyed and asked, "Pang Gong, why did you get this map?" ”

Pang Degong said with a smile: "This is what the old man and Brother Chengyan painted after visiting Xu Shu in Yecheng a few years ago and visiting Yecheng. ”

Pang Degong pointed to the map and introduced: "This city is seven miles from east to west, five miles from north to south, decorated with bricks, a hundred steps on the first floor, all palaces, doors, pheasants, all add pavilions. The layers are anti-space, the eaves are blowing the clouds, the picture is danqing, and the color is light. When it is in its heyday, go to Ye sixty or seventy miles, look at the pavilion from afar, and look like a fairy dwelling. It is 3,087 meters from east to west and 2,205 meters from north to south. There are three in the northwest of the city, the north is called the ice well platform, the middle is called the copper bird platform, the south is the golden tiger platform, the second is arranged. The three are brick-built, 60 steps away from each other, the upper pavilion road is like a pontoon bridge, and the three are connected, and the center is suspended in the center. Because of the foundation, it is majestic and lofty, and it is as high as a mountain. ”

"The east-west arterial road leads to the East City Gate, Yingchun Gate and the West City Gate, Jinming Gate. There are three trunk roads in the north-south direction, the central axis trunk road leads from the south gate Yongyang Gate, leads to the palace gate and the palace complex, and ends at the Qi Doulou in the middle of the north city; A trunk road in the west, leading from the gate of Tongque Garden to Fengyang Gate; There is a main road in the east, which leads from the Sima Gate of the military and political center to the Guangyang Gate, and there are also some official offices on both sides. The east-west main road and the central axis main road T-shaped intersection in front of the palace gate, and there are three stop gates to form a closed square. ”

"The water system in the city is to divert the water of the Zhanghe River in the northwest of the city, flow into the Tongque Garden and the palace area from Santaixia, and divert part of it to the Fangli District, and flow out of the city from near the east gate. There are also many gardens, in addition to the Tongque Garden, there is Wenwu Garden in the west of the city, there is Fanglin Garden outside the north city, and there is Lingzhi Garden in the east. ”

"The palace complex is very well arranged, according to the system of sleeping in front of the back. In the middle of the palace city part, the entrance gate is a closed square, through the end gate to the wide courtyard in front of the main hall, the main hall is in the middle, it is used when holding the ceremony, there are bell towers and drum towers on the left and right in front of the palace. The layout of the palace official office area in the east is also very strict, enter the Sima Gate, the two sides of the main road are all kinds of official yamen, forming a heavy courtyard, and the harem in the second half is used by Cao Cao to live. ”

"I heard that Cao Cao personally participated in the design of this city, and I didn't expect the old thief to have such a special feature!" Liu Chan looked intently at the square and functional map of Yecheng and sighed.

Liu Chan knew that the planning and layout of Yecheng had a decisive impact on the planning and construction of ancient cities after the Three Kingdoms. The layout of the whole city, the road is facing the city gate, and the main road T-shaped intersection is in front of the palace gate, so that the symmetrical layout of the central axis is expanded from the general building complex to the whole city. It deeply affected the layout of the capital in the future, such as Tang Chang'an and other cities. The city had a clear division, and the bureaucrats were strictly separated from the residents, inheriting the distinction between the city and the kuo, and directly inheriting the distinction between the palace city and the outer city in the Han Dynasty. The difference is that the distinction is clearer and the level is more stringent, especially the defensive nature of the Ice Well, the Bronze Bird, and the Golden Tiger is particularly obvious. Unlike the Han Dynasty, Chang'an and Luoyang Palaces are close to each other, or surrounded by the Fangli. This directly reflects Cao Cao's suspicion and weakness, and he is always on guard against very likely rebellions and attacks, which shows that the nature of his regime is unpopular and his ruling foundation is not solid enough.

"Liu Gongzi, this Yecheng is an iron city with iron walls, easy to defend and difficult to attack, easy to enter and difficult to get out." Pang Degong's words pulled Liu Chan's mind back.

Pang Degong pointed to the pictures of several military camps and sighed: "You see, there is a military camp next to Jinmingmen, Yingchun Gate, Fengyang Gate, Yongyang Gate, and Guangyang Gate, and tens of thousands of elite Chinese troops are stationed, such as the five battalions of Wuwei, Zhongjian, Zhongbase, Xiaocai, and guerrilla. All those who enter and leave must be strictly checked, and those who look like proof of identity cannot fly. Moreover, there are also the school guards in charge of the five senses and the deputy prime minister Cao Pi, and the netherworld guards in charge of Cao Zhi, who are always patrolling and keeping an eye on them. Therefore, this place is really Longtan Tiger's Den, and it is very dangerous! (To be continued.) )
