Chang'an, the ancient capital of the Thirteen Dynasties, is the first capital city called "Beijing" in history, and it is also the first real city in history. When Han Gaozu established the capital of the country, he was interested in Luoyang, so he asked Zhang Liang's opinion.

Zhang Liang admonished, there are thousands of miles of fertile fields in Hangu Pass and Longshu in the pass, there are rich Bashu in the south, and there is the convenience of Hu people's animal husbandry in the north, so they can defend on three sides, and contain the princes to the east. It is the so-called golden city of thousands of miles, the country of abundance. In the 5th year of Han Gaozu (202 years ago), Chang'an County was placed, and a new city was built in the territory of Chang'an County, which was named "Chang'an City", which means "long-term peace and stability", so it laid the magnificent momentum of the Han and Tang Dynasty Xiongdu.

During the Han Dynasty and the Han Dynasty, Chang'an City gradually expanded in scale after continuous development, and the streets in the city were summarized as eight streets (vertical streets) and nine Mo (horizontal streets), crisscrossing and criss-crossing, the whole city was divided into 160 Lu Li (lanes), which was extremely prosperous and prosperous. In the first two years of Emperor Hanping (2 years), the total population of the country was only 50 million, and there were 80,800 households in Chang'an City, nearly 500,000 people.

Han Shizu Liu Xiu revived the Han Dynasty, set the capital Luoyang, and Chang'an once lost its high position. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the world was strife, the Han family was weak, the Xiliang warlord Dong Zhuo coerced the Han Xian Emperor to move the capital to Chang'an, in April 192, Dong Zhuo was assassinated by Wang Yun and Lu Bu, and soon Dong Zhuo's troops attacked Li Dao and others into Chang'an, and then attacked each other, and the Guanzhong area was attacked by Dong Zhuo's rebellion, "Chang'an City was empty, and all scattered, and there was no re-pedestrian in Guanzhong in two or three years."

After the turmoil of the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty, Chang'an City was devastated, and before it had time to take a breath, the rebellion of the eight kings of the Jin Dynasty led to the southern invasion of the Hu people.

Since now on Sima Ye inherited the unification, from Luoyang to Chang'an, after some tinkering, expansion and reinforcement, although Chang'an is not the same as before, but after all, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, Rao is broken, in the current turbulent times, it is also a strong city, countless displaced people, defeated soldiers who fled westward, or loyal and brave people who serve the country, politicians who are swinging, etc., are constantly gathering to the last base camp of the Western Jin Dynasty, Chang'an City has regained a lot of vitality.

At the beginning of April in the second year of Jianxing in the Western Jin Dynasty (314). On this day, on the Vermilion Bird Street in Chang'an City, a horse galloped down the street, and the rider on the horse whipped the horsewhip desperately, and the war horse covered with sweat and mud suffered pain, and accelerated its speed and ran wildly. At this time, it was the morning market, the flow of people was crowded, and although the street was still spacious, it could not be a free horse.

The rider's riding skills also made him quick on the horse, and he kept screaming and dodging, but the horse's speed did not slow down much. Pedestrians hurriedly retreated to both sides for fear of avoiding them, and several of them hurriedly fell to the ground. In the noisy and dissatisfied shouting and scolding of pedestrians along the way, the dust of the horse had already swept by like a strong wind, leaving the sound of horses' hooves like a rapid drum beat, beating in people's hearts.

The rider galloped all the way, and in a short time he rode to a mansion, which, although not luxurious, was also quite magnificent and imposing, and at a glance it was not a place where ordinary people could live. There were several burly guards on each side of the door, standing solemnly, and when they were vigilantly staring left and right, the sound of horses' hooves burst through the air, and attracted everyone's attention at once.

"Stop! Whoever comes, get off the horse quickly! ”

The clatter of the swinging blades sounded chaotically, and a dozen or so soldiers quickly gathered over and lined up in a horizontal row in front of the door, staring at each other, and the tips of their knives and spears were facing the comers, and they shouted loudly.

When the rider was five paces away from a platoon of guards, he snapped the reins, and the horse immediately rose to his feet, raised his mane and hissed hiss, and the rider had already jumped off his horse.

"I have urgent military affairs, and I want to see the Metropolitan Governor immediately."

There was an unconcealed anxiety in the rider's deep voice, and as he spoke, he took out a sign from his bosom and handed it forward. The first guard had some doubts, looked up at the rider, and saw that the face was stained with blood, except for a pair of alert and bright eyes, they were a little difficult to see their true faces, and the guards also wanted to ask something, and first took the card and took a closer look, and then his face froze, and he hurriedly let go: "The Governor is in the study, Captain Yin, please!" ”

All the way through the pavilion and corridor, it was not long before I came to the door of the study. The guard who led the way bowed and said, "Governor, there is a Captain Yin, who said that there is an urgent military request to see. ”

"Come on in."

The guard owed again, motioned to Captain Yin to enter, and then turned and left. Captain Yin pushed the door in, and there was a middle-aged man with a long face in a fancy dress in the room, sitting behind the table, stopping the pen in his hand and looking up expectantly. Captain Yin immediately closed the door with his backhand, and immediately stepped forward and fell to the ground.

"Subordinate Yin Xuan, meet the Metropolitan Governor!"

"You're back, okay, get up and talk."

The middle-aged man replied lightly, and continued to write something on the paper. Although he had a stomach full of questions to ask, his identity and bearing still made him hold back and not inquire in a hurry, but only made a calm and calm look on his face.

"Yes." Yin Xuan stood up, although his anxious expression had not diminished, there was no trace of negligence in the number of courtesies, and he was respectful. He took a small step forward, and finally lowered his voice and said: "Governor, my subordinates have found out clearly, the Huns have broken through Tongguan yesterday, and the current troops are about to arrive in Weinan. This time, the thieves gathered in a big way, I am afraid that there are no less than 50,000 people, and the goal is clear, and they are about to go straight to Chang'an, and their momentum is strong. ”

The middle-aged man's breath was stagnant, and the hand that grabbed the pen was also slightly shocked, and the small block on the paper, which was originally neatly written, suddenly drew out diagonally and horizontally, bringing out a thick black, as if adding a scar, and the neat content on most of the paper was invalidated. The middle-aged man frowned, snorted, and gently rested the pen in his hand on the pen stand.

"Is the news true? I look at you, it seems that you are injured? ”

Yin Xuan's eyes were shining: "Outside Tongguan, my subordinates have heard it with their own ears and seen it with their own eyes." Later, his subordinates wanted to get closer to the camp of the thief army in order to better investigate, but they were detected by the enemy, and a team of scout brothers brought by his subordinates, in order to cover the safe return of his subordinates, have all been martyred. ”

The middle-aged man let out a long sigh and muttered to himself: "Countless loyal martyrs have sacrificed their lives for the country, but they have never been able to defeat Hu Lu, why is this, is it that God will destroy my Great Jin?" He shook his head slightly, and asked again.

"Who's the leader?"

"The forward general is still our rebel general Zhao Ran. The commander of the whole army is Liu Yao, the king of Zhongshan in the Xiongnu puppet Han Kingdom. ”

“…… Zhao Ran! Liu Yao! ”

The middle-aged man's eyelids jumped, and he straightened up, and his face was full of fear, resentment, helplessness, and uneasiness, which made his long face even pale. After a moment of silence, he slowly stood up and paced to the window, he reached out and pushed the lattice, his eyes fell into the distance, but he did not know what he was looking at. After another moment, he didn't turn around, but his deep voice rang out to himself.

"In the fifth year of Yongjia (311 AD), after the Xiongnu thieves captured a large area of land between Liang, Chen, Runan, and Yingchuan, they actually gathered heavy troops to invade the center of the imperial court. The shepherds of the feudal towns in various places were either busy with infighting, or supported troops to wait and see, and none of them were really diligent kings, or even like Wang Yan Wang Situ, who openly led his troops to flee, ignoring the safety of the court and the righteousness of the people. However, a small number of loyal and brave troops struggled to resist, but due to various reasons, their combat effectiveness was low, resulting in continuous defeat and retreat, and finally they lost 12 games in a row, and the thief army became more and more arrogant and began to attack Luoyang in a big way. ”

The middle-aged man recounted the past, and his voice had begun to become angry and sad. Later, the thieves finally broke through Luoyang, the capital division, and burned and looted inside and outside the city, collecting all the palace people and treasures in the palace, and killing officials and clans. In the end, he even caught the first emperor, and the first emperor was finally killed. At that time, the chief general of the thief army was Liu Yao, the king of Zhongshan. Later, Liu Yao took advantage of the victory to advance westward, and under the guidance of the traitor Zhao Ran, he captured Chang'an, killed the king of Xiannanyang, and was added to the rank of the lord of the puppet Han Dynasty, and ordered him to guard Chang'an. ”

These tragic pasts are known to women and children, how could Yin Xuan not know. It's just that now listening to the middle-aged man's low voice, I feel more vivid, my heart is sour and indignant, it is really difficult to dispel, Yin Xuan stood up, and his fists clenched unconsciously.

"Hu Lu trampled on Shenzhou, ravaged the Central Plains, there was not one out of ten thousands of people, even the first emperor was humiliated and killed, Hu Lu all kinds of cruel methods, it is difficult to write." The middle-aged man turned around suddenly, his eyes burned like fire, and his voice suddenly raised. "This kind of national hatred and family hatred is really painstaking, and it is not shared! I only hate my short-sightedness, and it took countless efforts and repeated defeats to drive away Liu Yao with Suo Taiwei and other colleagues, and ushered in the enthronement of Chang'an City today, continuing the Great Jin Dynasty and struggling to support. It's only been less than a year, and it's so easy for us to catch our breath, and he's Liu Yao's ghost coming again? ”

This middle-aged man was the Jin Dynasty Shangshu Zuo Servant Shot, Lu Shangshu Shi, Yongzhou Assassin Shi, Zhijie, Hussar General, and Dadu Governor Lu Yun, who was one of the top ministers of the imperial court at that time. Half a month ago, he heard that east of Tongguan, the Huns gathered and moved, the situation was abnormal, worried, so he sent the captain Yin Xuan with a team of scouts, to investigate, day and night to wait until today's report, sure enough, with the worst prediction in his heart, he was disappointed and resentful, for a while filled his chest, difficult to suppress.
