Luoyang, also known as Luoyang.

It is one of the birthplaces of Chinese civilization and the Chinese nation.

In the middle of the world, the mellow and majestic atmosphere. Mountains and rivers arch Dai, and the situation is the best in the world. It is the place where the kings of the Central Plains have competed for generations.

According to the Yellow River in the north, Funiu Mountain in the south, Qinling Mountains in the west, and Songyue in the east. It is surrounded by mountains on all sides, and the city is surrounded by five waters.

In order to ensure the safety of Luoyang, during the Zhongping period, Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty ordered the general He Jin to set up eight passes around Luoyang, including Hangu, Yique, Guangcheng, Dagu, Yuyuan, Revolving Gate, Mengjin and Xiaopingjin, to guard Luoyang.

The eight passes are just a general term, and there are several passes around Luoyang. Its east of the Tiger Pass, four sides of the Tong Pass, the fame is greater, is the east and west of Luoyang two gates.

Liu Bowen's strategy was to first occupy the two counties of Hongnong and Hanoi, open up the western and northern passages from Bingzhou and Hedong to Luoyang, and then occupy the eight passes of Luoyang before he could control Luoyang.

The key to controlling Hongnong is to control the line from Hongnong County to Hanguguan.

This line connects Luoyang and Chang'an, and there are Shaanxi, Huangchi, Xin'an and other counties in between.

The Bai Bo Army and the Lu Bu Army are gradually withdrawing from Hongnong and controlling this line, and there is not much obstacle.

The real problem is how to seize Hanoi.

……

Hanoi guarded Zhang Miao and Zhang Mengzhuo, and he had a chivalrous reputation when he was a teenager. When he became an adult, he was ranked as one of the "Eight Chefs" and was quite famous.

During the period of Emperor Huan and Emperor Ling, virtuous scholars and doctors united with their relatives to fight against the eunuch group. At that time, it was popular to comment on people's goods, and the world named these scholars and doctors as "Three Gentlemen", "Eight Jun", "Eight Gu", "Eight Ji", and "Eight Kitchens".

The three gentlemen were set as role models for the world, and the rest were all noble people in some way.

Among the princes today, Jingzhou Mu Liu is listed in the "Eight Harmony", and Zhang Miao is ranked in the "Eight Kitchens", which means that he does not hesitate to save others.

Although Zhang Miao does not have many soldiers and horses, he is famous, and he is good friends with Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Lu Bu and others.

……

An important step in controlling Luoyang was to seize Hanoi. The key to seizing Hanoi lies in how to avoid Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others from interfering.

This requires a proper timing.

Timing is not something that can be created casually. Need to wait, need to seek. And in the troubled times of the Central Plains, Liu Mang will definitely be given such an opportunity, and Liu Bowen, Wang Meng and others will be assisted. Liu Mang will definitely be able to capture such an opportunity.

……

Liu Mang and his entourage greeted the Son of Heaven in Yi's holy drive.

Liu Mang was courteous and did not interfere in the affairs of the imperial court, and then with Dong Cheng and others to pave the way, the little emperor Liu Xie's impression of Liu Mang gradually changed.

Although Liu Xie is young, he has experienced many hardships.

Liu Xie was killed. Liu Mang tried his best to help, and the little emperor Liu Xie was grateful. Now he still has to settle in Liu Mang's territory, and all supplies must rely on Liu Mang.

Gifts were exchanged, and as a thank you, Liu Xie prepared a gift for Liu Mang.

The arrival of the Son of Heaven, although there is no crowd like Chang'an, Liu Xie's mood is not comparable to that in Chang'an.

Liu Mang led the crowd to greet him, Liu Xie got out of the car, walked a few steps, and returned to Liu Mang with a weekly salute. As a sign of respect.

"Mang, greetings to Your Majesty."

"Jangtian, please get up." Liu Xie picked up Liu Mang.

When the monarch and the ministers met for the first time, Liu Xie looked up at Liu Mang, who was half a head taller than him, and said: "I heard that Jiangtian is a descendant of Emperor Zhao, and he is in exile among the people, how many generations of the Qing family genealogy?" ”

"Chen is the eleventh grandson of Emperor Zhao."

"Oh, so, I and Qing are the same generation of descendants of Gaozu, and Qing is my imperial brother!"

The two bowed again with the same clan, and Liu Xiexi said: "I have won the imperial brother." I am a great man, and I am hopeful! ”

"Minister, do your best."

Liu Mang's identity as a clan member of the Han family is only rumored. And it is difficult to verify. And since the Son of Heaven has recognized it, the name of the clan is finally decided.

This is the gift that Liu Xie gave to Liu Mang.

Liu Xie needs Liu Mang's help, and the status of the Han clan is the perfect bond to strengthen the relationship between him and Liu Mang.

The Han dynasty declined. The Han Dynasty was crumbling, and the little emperor Liu Xie was unable to support the collapsed building. He needs someone to help him, and at the moment, Liu Mang is the only person Liu Xie can ask for help.

……

The Son of Heaven came, with Anyi as the accompanying capital.

After the capital was settled, the first priority was to place hundreds of officials and reorganize the government.

The establishment of hundreds of officials affects the smooth implementation of government decrees, and it is also a process of redistribution of power.

If the relationship between all parties cannot be weighed, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the courtiers and princes, and it will be difficult to establish the prestige of the Han court, and the act of welcoming the Son of Heaven will also bring endless disasters to Liu Mang.

For such a crucial matter, Liu Mang tried every possible way to finally participate in it, and was jointly responsible for the selection of 100 officials with Fu Wan, Dong Cheng, Shi Sun Rui and others.

Among the courtiers, many people resisted and rejected Liu Mang.

Liu Mang was finally recognized, in addition to the status of the emperor's brother, the support of Fu Wan Dong Cheng and others, and the approval of the Son of Heaven, more importantly, Liu Mang took the initiative to say that he would only be a prince with peace of mind, and would never compete for high positions such as Taifu and Sangong.

The selection of 100 officials is the key, and it is also a science, and it is also a process of competition between all parties.

The major princes, including the second Yuan and the second Liu, either wanted to win a seat for themselves, or tried to support those close to them to ascend to high positions.

At the same time that the imperial court proposed a hundred officials, there was a small conflict between Bingzhou and Jizhou......

……

Li Xiucheng was ordered to help the Zhang family and the Zhen family of Changshan Kingdom, and after receiving Liu Mang's letter, he went all out to take action.

Hong Xuanjiao's plan was very thorough.

On the day of the beginning of winter, Hong Xuanjiao and Chen Yucheng led a group of Jianghu brothers to bring out the Zhang Zhen family in the name of performing ghost shows. All the way to the west, as long as you pass through Jingcheng smoothly, you can safely arrive at Bingzhou.

Unexpectedly, the originally careful plan still made mistakes.

Zhang's Zhen family has a large population, and there are many elderly people and young children. In the beginning of winter, helping the old and the young, walking in a hurry, attracted the attention of Wei Changhui, who had been trying to calculate Zhang's family.

Wei Changhui immediately reported to the senior cadres stationed in Changshan State.

In recent times, there have been cases of large families migrating from time to time. At first, it did not attract Yuan Shao's attention. But soon, Yuan Shao noticed that the family's exodus was intensifying. Moreover, most of the destinations of the family's migration are in the state.

The Jizhou gate valve family is the foundation of Yuan Shao's beginning. Yuan Shao not only regarded the family of gate valves as his dependence, but also regarded the family as his subordinates.

If the family runs away, it is a betrayal!

Defeated twice by Jing Cheng, which was regarded as a great shame by Yuan Shao. And Liu Mang's power is getting stronger and stronger, and Yuan Shao has gradually felt a sense of crisis. He secretly designated Liu Mang as the number one enemy in the future.

When the family runs away and merges with the state, it is to surrender to the enemy!

Gao Gan got Wei Changhui's secret report and immediately led his troops and horses to chase after him.

Hong Xuanjiao and Chen Yucheng relied on the dangerous terrain of Jingcheng to block the pursuing soldiers in Jizhou.

After fighting and retreating, he finally retreated to Stone Village.

Stone Village is a slightly open village in the middle of Jingcheng.

Since the Battle of Jingcheng, Bingzhou and Jizhou have guarded against each other, and they have gradually developed a tacit understanding. With the stone village as the boundary, each guards the east and the west, and does not invade each other.

Gao Gan and his subordinate general Xia Zhao led his troops to chase them to Stone Village, and they were searching everywhere, when the horn suddenly sounded, and the state ambushed the soldiers!
