Now Liangzhou has Jincheng Taishou Han Sui, Wuwei Taishou Ma Teng two big forces and more than a dozen other small separatist forces, in addition to many Qianghu tribes, the order is chaotic, and the various forces are fighting endlessly, Jin Liang gave Xu Rong and Li Ru the task is to unite Ma Teng and other pro-Han forces to contain Han Sui and other anti-Han forces, Li Ru's task is to do his best to let Ma Teng and Han Sui fight, as long as Ma Teng and Han Sui do not unite, Liangzhou will not get out of control. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

In addition to Xu Rong, there are also 50,000 horses of Liangzhou Mu and Huangfu Song, the general of the left chariot, who are sitting in Anding County, presumably Ma Teng, Han Sui and other ambitious forces will not dare to act rashly for a few years, and can only be people with their tails between their legs.

Li Wei, Guo Yan, Fan Chou, Yang Ding, Dong Yue, and Niu Fu led the troops back, and they led away only the original villagers, less than 10,000 horses, and they were all integrated, and each part of the army had Jin Liang, Huangfu Song's Xiliang soldiers interspersed into it to be middle and lower-level officers, after the integration, Li Wei, Guo Yan, Fan Chou, Yang Ding, Dong Yue, and Niu Fu each led 4,000 troops, which was considered a brigade, 2,000 soldiers and 2,000 auxiliaries, subordinate to Xu Rong's Liangzhou Corps, and Yu Ban's Qingzhou Corps and Wei Yan's Yuzhou Corps. They are all subordinate corps of the Central Army, not directly subordinate corps. And Xu Rong's department has 20,000 horses, 10,000 soldiers and 10,000 auxiliaries, and the troops can completely suppress Li Dao, Guo Yan and others.

Moreover, the families of Li Dao, Guo Yan and others all stayed in Luoyang City, and their subordinates all had agents placed in the shadows, Li Dao, Guo Yan, Fan Chou, Yang Ding, Dong Yue, Niu Fu and others had to spend two months every year following Jin Liang's army to receive ideological education and rectification movement, Jin Liang expected that they would not dare to rebel, even if they rebelled, they were under Jin Liang's control, and they could not set off big waves.

Among the 150,000 people in the Xiliang Army left by Dong Zhuo, there were only more than 60,000 Xiliang people, selected according to the strict standards of the Central Army, only more than 30,000 people barely met the standard of ordinary county soldiers, Li Dao, Guo Yan, Fan Chou, Yang Ding, Dong Yue, and Niu Fu took away 24,000 people, and most of the 8,000 people left behind were related to Si Li, and most of them were Duan Xuan's men.

Those eliminated Xiliang people, if they are cruel by nature and do a lot of evil in the Sili area, they are all sent to the labor reform brigade in the Sizhou Construction Corps, if their nature is not bad and they are willing to live in the Sili area, they are also sent to the Sizhou Construction Corps as Tuntian soldiers, and they are not willing to continue to stay in the Sili area, so they will return to their own counties and join the county and county soldiers in their counties.

Among the 150,000 Xiliang troops left by Dong Zhuo, nearly 90,000 Sili people were recruited in the past three years, and these 90,000 Sili people were a lot worse than the battle-hardened Xiliang people in terms of physique and military quality.

Jin Liang appointed Li Su as the lieutenant of Hongnong County, led 4,000 men and horses to guard Hongnong, and appointed Wu Kuang as the lieutenant of Xingyang County reorganized, and led 4,000 men and horses to guard Xingyang County, and because Luoyang has been included in Jin Liang's ruling area, and the biggest threat to Luoyang is Nanyang County in the south and Yingchuan County in the southeast, Jin Liang appointed Hao Zhao, who is good at defense, as the lieutenant of Henan County, and led 8,000 county soldiers to guard Luoyang's eight passes.

The Sili area fell into the hands of Jin Liang, and the original defensive front line moved south from the Yellow River, to face the threat of Yuan Shao, the assassin of Jingzhou, and Liu Biao, the assassin of Yuzhou, Yuan Shao had more than 200,000 troops, and his enterprising spirit was far better than that of Liu Biao, the original history of Jingzhou, once Yuan Shao took the entire Nanyang County, it was very likely to attack Luoyang directly, so Jin Liang transferred the troops of Hedong County to Luoyang, and the troops of Hanoi County to Xingyang County.

Sooner or later, the Son of Heaven Liu Wei will have to return the capital to Luoyang, but at this time Luoyang has experienced war, some damage, and it needs to be renovated in order to really return the capital, and more importantly, the threat of Yuan Shao, the assassin of Jingzhou, will not be eliminated for a day, Luoyang will be in danger for a day, and it will not be safe to return to Luoyang.

Jin Liang went to the table to the Son of Heaven Liu Defense, saying that now is not the best time to return to Luoyang, and the Sili area can be set as Sizhou for the time being, and Jin Liang recommended Zhu Jun as the Sizhou pastor, so that Zhu Jun will also lead the general as a master craftsman, rebuild Luoyang City with full authority, and build Luoyang City into a real world center according to the design drawings drawn by Jin Liang himself.

Jin Liang's grand plan for the future is to use Luoyang Baguan as the outer city wall of Luoyang, relying on the nearby mountains, to expand the scope of Luoyang City more than ten times, and build it into a super city.

However, in the early stage, the old city of Luoyang was rebuilt, and four acropolises were established on all sides of the old city to protect the safety of Luoyang City.

Jin Liang rode a red rabbit horse all over Luoyang City, looking at this beautiful imperial capital, he was very proud in his heart, it was under his own painstaking management, so that Luoyang City finally did not suffer from the end of being burned by Dong Zhuo, although all the pavilions and pavilions went through the rebellion of the Ten Standing Servants and the mutiny a while ago, but they were generally complete, and only needed a little cleaning and repair to rejuvenate.

Jin Liang rode a horse to watch the flowers in Luoyang City, and the most regrettable thing was that he did not see the peony flowers, so he asked people to transplant peonies from Chang'an to Luoyang City on a large scale, and then held a ceremony to return the capital when the peony flowers bloomed all over Luoyang City.

Luoyang City, according to the mountain in the north, looking at Yique in the south, Luoshui runs through it, according to the Tiger Prison Pass in the east, controlling Hanguguan in the west, surrounded by mountains, standing in a forest of Xiongguan, so it has the name of "Eight Guanduyi", "Mountains and rivers arch Dai, the situation is the first in the world"; Moreover, it is located in the "middle of the world", "the east presses the Jianghuai, the west is Guanlong, the north passes Youyan, and the south is Jingxiang", known as "the eight directions", "the hinterland of Kyushu", "the thoroughfare of ten provinces", there is such a city as the capital, Jin Liang will not consider Yanjing, Jinling and other cities.

Hundreds of thousands of Luoyang people are smiling, welcoming a new life and celebrating their liberation from the ravages of Dong Zhuoxi's Liang army.

Because the military discipline of the Jinliang Central Army is strict, the gendarmes at all levels are effective, and the order is quickly settled, the people of Luoyang have heard that Jinliang loves the people and is close to the people, and the people are at peace, Luoyang quickly recovered from the war, not only restored the prosperity of the past, but even more, because there was no Xiliang Army's rampant conquest, burning, killing and looting, the people of Luoyang gradually lived and worked in peace and contentment, all walks of life dared to open shops to do business, and the peddlers and pawns were also endless, and Luoyang City was revitalized.

From the point of view of economy and trade, Luoyang's status is also very high, because Luoyang is the Silk Road, decades ago Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty sent an envoy Ban Chao to the Western Regions, opened up the long-abandoned Silk Road, and for the first time extended the Silk Road to Europe, to the Roman Empire at that time. For the first time, the Roman Empire also sent envoys to the Eastern Han Dynasty along the Silk Road opened by Banchao, and met with the Han Emperor in Luoyang, the capital division, which was the first exchange between the two superpowers of the East and the West. Luoyang is the capital of the Eastern superpower, Rome is the capital of the Roman Empire, the Silk Road began from Luoyang and ends in Rome, and the Silk Road connected the Roman Empire and China for the first time. Historically, after the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Wei and Jin dynasties and the Sui and Tang dynasties, Luoyang was the trade of the Eastern and Western Silk Roads.

Although the Silk Road was opened by Ban Chao, but because of the war that broke out between the Eastern Han Dynasty court and Qianghu, the Silk Road was cut off again, although later there was Ban Chao's son Ban Yong opened again, the imperial court appointed Ban Yong as the long history of the Western Regions, governing Liuzhong, and performing the task of protecting the capital.

The Silk Road is a golden road, Jin Liang wants to earn a lot of gold coins from the Roman Empire, how can he watch this golden road cut off, and the Silk Road is a road of cultural exchanges between the East and the West, if the Han wants to understand the world, there must be a channel, when the maritime Silk Road has not been fully opened, the land Silk Road is more and more important.

Jin Liang followed the example of the Tang Dynasty and appointed Ban Rong, a descendant of Ban Chao, as the chief historian of the Western Regions, and selected elite soldiers from the Liangzhou Muhuang Fu Song, Liangzhou General Xu Rong, Wuwei Taishou Ma Teng, and Jincheng Taishou Han Sui, and turned them into a Western Expeditionary Army of 8,000 men and horses, and went to open up the Silk Road.

In accordance with Jin Liang's instructions, Ban Rong adopted the policy of long-distance friendship and close attack and vertical and horizontal alliances, encircled a group of small countries in the Western Regions against another group of small countries in the Western Regions, and Jin Liang continued to increase troops to the Western Regions through Liangzhou, preparing to gradually control the countries in the Western Regions.

Jin Liang's request to Ban Rong is to change the history of small countries in the Western Regions and make the Silk Road smoother.

The Silk Road was a part of the Silk Road, and the trade activities were dazzling, from foreign slaves, entertainers, and kabuki to domestic animals and beasts, from fur plants, spices, and pigments to gold, silver, jewelry, ores, and metals, from utensils, teeth, and horns to weapons, books, and musical instruments, and the entry of foreign crafts, religions, customs, etc.

The reopening of the Silk Road was not a difficult task, because it was an economic activity dominated by military operations, which could be completed by sending troops there.

Jin Liang stood at the head of Luoyang City, looked around, and considered the plan of setting the capital of Luoyang for hundreds of years or even longer.

The gallop and straight road of traffic on the road should be centered on Luoyang, and can no longer be centered on Chang'an and Xiangyang.

In the past three years, in order to resist the invasion of Xianbei, the Qin Zhidao and Qin Chi Road were rebuilt, and the Shuozhou Construction Corps under Jin Liang has accumulated rich experience, which has been applied to the Han Zhidao and Hanchi Road with Luoyang as the center, and Jin Liang is not worried.

Jin Liang's only worry is Luoyang's Cao Yun, before the advent of the train, the shipping is better than the road car transportation in all aspects, Jin Liang continues to take Luoyang as the capital, it must be considered to prosper the Cao Yun, and even build the canal like Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty.

In fact, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty repaired the canal is right, the canal must be repaired, the two Han Dynasty to the Northern and Southern Dynasties period, have built some channels, although these channels are intermittent, but the excavation of the Grand Canal, in the south of the Yangtze River and the Central Plains region began to take shape, with the increasing political, economic and cultural development of the north and south, the local canal has been unable to meet the needs of the society, especially the Jiangnan region in the national economic life more and more important position, communication between the north and the south waterway has become an urgent need for social and economic exchanges.

After Yang Guang built the Grand Canal, he communicated the east, west, north and south of China, and the east, west, north and south were connected with water to form a water network, turning several natural water systems into one large water system, which was a big game of chess. Yang Guang excavated the canal, buried the Sui Dynasty, made a wedding dress for Li Tang, and the Grand Canal ushered in the rule of Zhenguan Kaiyuan in the Tang Dynasty, laying the foundation for the rise of Tang culture in the world.

Jin Liang began to lay out the canal with Luoyang as the center, together with the north and south, together with the Yellow River, the Yangtze River, the Huai River, and the Qiantang River, which was not only conducive to the economic convergence between the north and the south, but also conducive to his own military operations and his own unification of the entire Han Dynasty.

Jin Liang learned the lesson of Yang Guang and did not limit the time limit to repair it within three or five years, and the timetable he gave was twenty years.

Now that Jin Liang has captured Luoyang City, he is not only thinking about fighting against Yuan Shao, the assassin of Jingzhou south of Luoyang, to defend Luoyang City, he has to think about how to defeat Yuan Shao quickly, and he also has to think about how to take Jiangdong if Sun Ce refuses to return.

This series of military plans is closely related to the issue of transportation, and the transportation of military personnel and grain and grass directly determines the success or failure of military operations in many cases.

In this second century, there were no airplanes or trains, and it was impossible to achieve the beginning and end of the day, and military operations could only rely on horseback, horse-drawn carts, ox-carts, and walking, and had to trek through mountains and rivers, and the movement was very difficult and slow, especially in the Jiangdong region, where there was a large river network, and transportation by chariots and horses was even more slow.

Therefore, Jin Liang is not only overhauling straights and galloping roads with Luoyang as the center, but also preparing for great prosperity.

Cao Yun is to put people and things on the boat, or people row, or sail, or do sluice lifting and descending, can travel dozens of miles or even hundreds of miles a day, the ship is large, can transport troops, horses, grain, forage, coal, stone, greatly broadened the space for human activities, so that can organize effective large-scale state behavior.

However, in the land of China, except for the remote Irtysh River and the Lancang River, all the major rivers flow horizontally from west to east, and there is no large river that runs vertically from north to south. This is determined by the basic topography of Shenzhou which is high in the west and low in the east. Among these rivers, the Yellow River is the cradle of the development of the Chinese nation, and the Yellow River basin is the birthplace of Chinese civilization. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, its middle and lower reaches were the most economically and culturally developed and prosperous regions, as well as the most densely populated and politically active areas. But. The flow direction of the Yellow River from west to east is convenient for the horizontal connection between the east and the west, but not for the vertical connection between the north and the south, and the vertical economic and cultural exchanges have been greatly affected, and there is no lack of rich land in the north of the Yellow River, and the southeast coast south of the Yellow River is a land rich in products, but it has not been developed for a long time, and this geographical defect is a defect. As a result, China's economic and cultural development is seriously unbalanced.

For the time being, Jin Liang did not care about the issue of economic and cultural development, because economic and cultural development is a very long process, and Jin Liang was most concerned about military operations and grain transportation, and in order to facilitate the control of the southern region and the exchange and transportation of goods between the north and the south, the canal had to be built.

Fortunately, one section of the canal has already been repaired. In the late Spring and Autumn period of the fifth century B.C., Wu Wangfucha, who ruled the lower reaches of the Yangtze River at that time, went north to conquer Qi. Compete for the hegemony of the Central Plains, mobilize the people to dig the canal from Yangzhou to the northeast, through Sheyang Lake to Huai'an into the Huaihe River, because it passes through Hancheng, so it is named "Hangou". Also known as the Li Canal, it is 170 kilometers long, bringing water from the Yangtze River into the Huai River, and is the earliest section of the Grand Canal.

If Jin Liang builds a canal to connect the Yellow River with the Yangtze River, he only needs to build a canal from the Yellow River to the Huai River, and then dredge the canal that has some siltation.

The canal between the Yellow River and the Huai River, called the Tongji Canal in the period of the Grand Canal of the Sui Dynasty, was opened in 605 in the first year of the great cause of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, the western section of the project leads the valley and Luo Ershui into the Yellow River from the western suburbs of Luoyang, and the eastern section leads the Yellow River water from the northeast of Xingyang Bishui Town, follows the Bianshui, passes through Shangqiu, Suxian and Si County into the Huai Tongji Canal, also known as the Bianqu, is the trunk road of Caoyun.

Jin Liang basically followed Yang Guang's line and began to plan the construction of the Tongji Canal, but now the Yuzhou, Xuzhou, and Yangzhou through which the Tongji Canal passes are not yet within his control of the sphere of influence, and for the time being only a small part of the Xiuluo Water, Gushui, Bishui and the Yellow River, and the other is in Jizhou, which is controlled by Jin Liang, the northern section of the canal is built.

The Northern Canal, is to follow the Sui Yang Emperor four years of the Yongji Canal, the construction of Luoyang to Beiping canal, this canal project is actually very simple, only need to be together with Yishui, Zhangshui, the Yellow River, the amount of work is much lighter than the Tongji Canal, and most of the scope of this canal is in Jizhou controlled by Jin Liang, easy to mobilize the people, and the people of Jizhou are deeply aware of Jin Liang's kindness, Jin Liang is not free labor has wages, the people of Jizhou are very hard, I think that it will not be able to be repaired in a few years, there is this canal, In the future, it was very convenient for Xiangyang to come to Luoyang or go to Beiping, which was convenient for Jin Liang to control the north from Luoyang.

Once the Grand Canal is completed, it will not only be conducive to Jinliang's political and military control over the southern and northern regions, but also conducive to the transportation and exchange of products between the south and the north, and will also bring the Central Plains culture to the north and to the south, and also bring the nomadic culture of the northern grassland and the culture of the southern Yumisang tea and water towns to the Central Plains, realizing the diversification, complementarity and co-multiplication of Chinese culture, and the collusion of several major water systems has promoted the integration and exchanges between ethnic groups and international exchanges between China and foreign countries.

The land Silk Road will be dredged in a few years, and the maritime Silk Road will be opened in more than ten years, with the land Silk Road from Luoyang to Rome and the maritime Silk Road from Qiantang to Rome.
