"Is this Luoyang? But how can there be two cities? ”

Standing on the horse and looking into the distance, Liu Xiajiao saw that on the other side of the rising sun, on the north bank of Luoshui, there are two cities towering on the Heluo Plain, one east and one west, separated by Qianshui in the middle. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Since ancient times, Luoyang has been composed of two cities." Wang Sunsheng felt a little uncomfortable every time he thought that they had swaggered past under the noses of the Zhou royal family like the Qin army that attacked Zheng back then. Zheng Guoren likes to use Shangjia as a spy, and now he is afraid that a businessman will inform You Su that he has found traces of Zhao Jun in the Zhou Room, and he only hopes that everything can be as the thief hopes.

The thief was very curious about the scenery of the twin cities: "Generally speaking, there is only one in Duyi, why is there two in Luoyang?" ”

Regarding these obscure evolutions, Wang Sunsheng, who was a nobleman, was much stronger than a thief, and he said: "Before the Zhou Duke built Luoyi, this place was called Luowei because it was located on the shore of Luoshui. In order to build a new capital, King Cheng of Zhou asked the Duke of Zhou to go to Lishui north of the river to divinate first, but the result obtained was not auspicious. Subsequently, the Duke of Zhou crossed the river to the banks of Luoshui, and divined the places east of the stream and west of the Qianshui, and obtained auspicious signs; and divination of the places east of the waters, and the same good signs were obtained. So they built two cities at once......"

He pointed to the city with a tall outer city to the east and said, "This is Chengzhou, where the temple is located, and there are also troops stationed. ”

He also pointed to the slightly dilapidated city to the west and said: "This is the royal city, the sleeping palace of the Son of Heaven, and the Duke of Zhou once lived here as a regent." ”

The thief guessed literally: "Wangcheng, where the king of Zhou lives...... In this way, Zhou Tianzi and Jiuding should be in the west, right? ”

"No, now the Son of Heaven and Jiuding are in Chengzhou."

The thief scratched his head, a little annoyed that he had guessed wrong: "Why is that?" ”

"At the beginning, King Zhou Cheng did move Jiuding to Wangcheng, and there was a Dingmen on the side of Wangcheng, which was named after the passage when Jiuding entered the city. Most of the people living in the royal city are Zhou nobles, the main city of Luoyang, and it is also the place where the princes meet the Son of Heaven. Chengzhou City is the sub-city, which is the place where the Eighth Division of Chengzhou is stationed, the remnants of Yin Shang are housed, and the market trade is carried out. ”

Later, after King Zhou Ping moved east, he also lived in Wangcheng. However, more than 20 years ago, during the rebellion of the Prince Dynasty, Zhou Tianzi moved to Chengzhou with Jiuding in order to avoid the rebels of the Prince Dynasty. Since then, the royal city has fallen into war, the people fled, began to dilapidate, and later although the princes raised funds to repair, but it is no longer magnificent, so the Son of Heaven took root in Chengzhou, until now. ”

"I see." The thief suddenly came to his senses and said with a smile: "It seems that Shangqing has asked Wang Sun to be my deputy, which is still somewhat useful, at least in these aspects." ”

This sentence made Wang Sunsheng angry, did he think he was just a pen officer with the army counselor? If it weren't for the fact that the thief was a general and had the right to order himself, he would have thrown away the whip and turned around and left.

But before he could be angry and sarcastic, the thief slapped his horse forward and said to the people behind him: "The army is waiting here, I will come close and take a look." ”

After finishing speaking, he left, Wang Sunsheng was full of anger and had nowhere to put it, and glanced at the prison army, but found that he was also very helpless in his eyes.

As we all know, the army of thieves is the most difficult to supervise among the armies of the Zhao clan and the Lu State, because many of them follow the old deployment of thieves to rob homes and houses, whether it is military discipline or combat style, they are different from other armies imitated by military pawns.

But the thieves have never been rebellious, and the prison army and the black-clothed guards who supervised the thieves with him have no reason to do it, for Zhao Wuxian, this army can dare to fight, and it is slowly standardizing, which is enough, but every time he goes out, he will mix some other troops into it to play the role of monitoring each other.

Wang Sunsheng could only ask the commanders to restrain his subordinates, and he also took a few guards to follow the thief, lest the thief see the magnificence of Luoyang and become greedy, and want to go in and loot......

He's not going to be stealing now, is he? Wang Sunsheng speculated.

Chengzhou is built according to the standard of the craftsman's camp country, there are a total of 12 city gates, the number of 12 heavenly stems, of which there are three in the east of the city where they are located, from north to south are the upper east gate, the middle east gate, and the east gate.

The thief had already walked to the outside of the upper east gate, and looked in front of the horse, and saw that on the bank of the surging moat in front of him, a majestic gate covering a wide area rose on the ground.

In this era, Luoyang is in the middle of the world, is the authentic "house of China", is the hinterland of Kyushu, as early as three generations, it has been the transportation center of the Central Plains, and now the road is extending in all directions, the straight Zhou Road across the Luoyang Plain, has been extending to the east, with the convenience of geography and transportation, Luoyang has become a major business center, and the atmosphere of doing business is very strong.

If it were a change to the usual time, the evening was the peak time for merchants from all over the world to drive ox carts and horse-drawn carts into and out of the city, and the people who went out to work in the countryside would often crowd the city gates. At the moment, the three city gates were closed, and there were faint people visiting the city head, which showed that the city was very heavily guarded against Zhao Jun's excuse.

Although he could not witness the crowds in Luoyang, the towering and majestic high walls and thick doors alone had already amazed the soldiers and soldiers of Zhao who came from afar. And especially what surprised them, but the palace and the gate in the city, looking at it from afar, I don't know what palace, what que, there are several high platforms far above the city wall, bright and upright, gloomy and connected with the sky.

Cheng Zhou didn't say anything else, this palace still has a little bit of the meaning of the co-lord of the world, thanks to the fact that after the rebellion of the prince's dynasty, all the vassal states contributed to help repair it, otherwise the Son of Heaven would not have the money to mount it.

These insiders and outsiders naturally don't know, and everyone can only feel that the ancient capital, which has been inherited for 600 years, looks so majestic and solemn under the reflection of the rising sun.

The wind is cool in the morning, the trees on the side of the road are sassy, the Luoyang in front is majestic, and the side looks at the north forest.

Wang Sunsheng stood at the feet of the Son of Heaven, riding his horse against the wind, and the emotions in his chest surged.

More than 100 years ago, his ancestor King Chu Zhuang once asked the Zhou royal family about the importance of the crown, and then was replied by Wang Sunman "In virtue is not in Ding", the king of Chu also felt that his strength could not completely overpower the Jin State, let alone let Qi Qin bow down to the courtiers, so he left, acquiescing that the Chu State is still under the system of the Zhou royal family, and is willing to be a southern overlord.

However, what King Chu Zhuang thinks is that after defeating the Jin Kingdom, he will really win the championship again in his lifetime!

But he didn't wait for a day, and after that, the hegemony of Chu never exceeded the period of King Zhuang, and he was even beaten by Wu and lost the hegemony in the south. So this ambition also became a dream, a dream that they could never reach.

Touching the scene, Wang Sunsheng couldn't help but sigh, the root of his duckweed is still in Chu after all, if he has the opportunity, can he go back? Can we reproduce the history of our ancestors?

He glanced sideways, but saw that the thief had dismounted after a long silence......

……

The people under the city are looking at the city, and the people at the city are also watching visitors from outside the city, Shan Ping and Liu Cheng have been holding their breath and staring at every move of this Zhao army, the other side has more than 10,000 people, and the total strength of Cheng Zhou's "Six Divisions" is similar, but the combat effectiveness is not the same, they don't want to have any conflicts, let alone give each other a chance, so they closed the city gate early and cowered negatively.

After a period of unpleasant pointing, someone from Zhao Jun's side came over, seemingly waving a handsome flag, and walked to a distance of hundreds of steps from the Chengzhou moat and stopped to watch. At this time, Shan Ping and Liu Cheng felt like chickens targeted by a weasel.

Originally, they were still worried, but who expected that after a while, the man would dismount!

"Look, he's dismounted!" Liu Cheng was very excited and hurriedly pulled Shan Ping.

"I said, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, how can anyone be presumptuous? He dismounted under Chengzhou City to show humility and subservience, would he bow down to Chengzhou and the Son of Heaven? Shan Ping was also very happy, and laughed with relief, thinking that this time he had finally met a general who was polite, should he ask the Son of Heaven for instructions and send someone out of the city to encourage him?

However, next, the move of the dismounted Zhao general was unexpected by everyone.

Instead of bowing down, he untied his belt and pulled out the work.

However, in the face of the splendid Luoyang City, I poured a soak of urine!

Under the morning sun, the urine of the thief flew far away, throwing a curve with a large arc in the sunlight, surrounded by dots of light......

Looking at this scene, Liu, Shan Erqing, and even the thousands of people in Chengzhou City, who were still grateful, were dumbfounded, and this urine seemed to be sprinkled on their faces, dripping on the weak wounds that had finally scarred, humiliating, and stinging......

At this moment, even Wang Sunsheng was stunned, he gasped, and after a while he secretly scolded: "Good thief, what a rude and rude!" ”
