Chapter 45: Lower Chang'an I

Chang'an, from the founding of Gaozu to the relocation of the capital to Luoyang for 200 years, has been the political, economic and cultural center of the Han Dynasty.

In the fifth year of Emperor Gao of the Han Dynasty, Gaozu summoned all the princes and kings, entangled hundreds of thousands of troops, forced Xiang Yu Wujiang to kill himself, and after pacifying Chudi, he placed Chang'an County near Xianyang, and ordered Xiao He to preside over the construction of the capital Chang'an, which opened the grand foundation of the Han Empire.

At the end of the text, Xiao He, then rebuilt the palace on the south bank of the Wei River, the north side of Afang Palace, and the Qin Xingle Palace, and named it Changle Palace.

In the seventh year of Gaozu, Weiyang Palace was built again, and in the same year, the capital was moved here from Liyang City, because it was located in Chang'an Township, so it was named Chang'an City.

From the first year to the fifth year of Emperor Hui, the city wall was built.

During the period of Emperor Wu, Jingzhaoyin was set up to govern Chang'an, and then carried out a large-scale expansion of Chang'an City, built the North Palace, Guigong Palace and Mingguang Palace, and expanded the Shanglin Garden in the west of the city, excavated the Kunming Pond, and built the Zhang Palace.

Today's Chang'an City, after hundreds of thousands of migrant workers' repairs, has gradually recovered its former heroism.

Suddenly, he rode from the east, stepped on several wolf smoke that rose from Langlang, and ran to the Qingming people with the city gate closed.

"I am General Niu Fu's personal entourage, and I have something to report!"

The one guarding the city gate was just a Sima, seeing the one below, dressed in black armor, holding a black knife, and spitting out a Xiliang accent in his mouth, Sima who guarded the gate did not suspect it, opened the city gate, let him in, and at the same time sent someone to report to the military advisor Jia Xu.

Jia Xu pulled Dong Huang to the gate of the city and asked the soldier: "General Niu Fu is stationed in Hedong, what is the important matter, report quickly?" ”

"Back to the young general, in the early hours of this morning, the Baibo thief army in Wangwu Mountain broke out, there are about 100,000 thief soldiers, and they have swept the entire Hedong County!"

"What! It's the White Bo Army again! ”

Dong Huang almost exclaimed, and now his father Dong Zheng led an army of 10,000 to fight with the remnants of Bai Bo in Zhongnan Mountain, wanting to redeem his third sister; Unexpectedly. After a few hours, news of the rebellion of the White Wave Bandit Army came from Hedong.

"Brush~~~"

As soon as he pulled out the long knife, Dong Huang was going to lead his troops to rescue his second brother-in-law Niu Fu.

"Oops! The young general is slow, don't forget the instructions of Lord Xiangguo. Defending Chang'an City is a top priority! ”

Jia Xu grabbed the stunned man in his hand, and he was also sighing in his heart.

But now he can't add fuel to the fire and let Dong Huang lead the troops forward, because of the remaining 20,000 Xiliang troops, except for Zhang Xiu, he was killed by him. There is another person, Li Meng, who is known as a general.

Dong Huang couldn't lead his troops out of Chang'an City at all, so he would be blocked by Li Meng, which was also the reason why Jia Xu didn't want to add fuel to the fire.

Because once Dong Huang is woken up by Li Meng, and Jia Xu is fanning the flames on the side, this will lead to Dong Huang's distrust of him, which will affect the next big plan.

Just when Jia Xu was entangled, north of Weishui in Chang'an, in the middle of Weicheng. Zhang Liao held the holy decree in his hand, took Gao Shun and 800 soldiers from the camp, raided the camp of 30,000 and the state army, killed the traitors Wei Xu and Song Xian, and collected 30,000 wolf horses.

Cheng Lian, Hao Meng, and Cao Xing, the three captains, led the army and were gathered by Zhang Liao under the general's stage.

Unfolding the holy decree, Zhang Liao read it out.

"Wow~~~"

The 30,000 sergeants of the state were all shocked after hearing Zhang Liao's words. Then, under the call of Wen Yuan, he slowly drove across the Weiqiao Bridge with the army and came to the Bacheng Gate.

At the same time, there were dozens of horsemen, obeying military orders. Go west.

Bacheng Gate is also known as Qingcheng Gate, it is the southernmost city gate of the east city of Chang'an City, because the city gate is blue, so it is called the green gate, and its west is the east palace gate of Changle Palace, and the famous Silk Road is starting from this.

"Whew! Drink! ”

Under the gate of the city. Tens of thousands of wolves rode up neatly shouting slogans, holding big knives, and stepped to the Weishui Bridge.

"聿~~~聿"

Zhang Liao pulled the reins of the horse, the car dew purple neighing, there was the posture of Ziyan leaping, its bones soared divine horses, the three rivers of Qi, and the armies in Weiling City.

Seeing the tens of thousands of merger state troops lined up at the gate of the city below, Dong Huang was shocked, but he still scolded: "You merge state rats, you want to rebel!" ”

The second stunned Dong Huang scolded him, which made the 30,000 soldiers below burst with anger in their eyes, but he had a military order with him, so he had to endure it.

"Major General, Zhang Liao, the captain of Xia Jianzhang, came here this time on the order of Father Shang."

Zhang Liao stepped forward, came to the moat, dismounted and hugged his fists: "The Baibo thief army is in rebellion, and the whole county in Hedong is in turmoil. When Father Shang heard the news, he specially ordered him to come down and command the 30,000 Bingzhou troops to help General Dong Zheng and quell the rebellion in Hedong! ”

"Wei Xu and Song Xian, where are these two?"

"These two are traitors, how can Lord Xiangguo trust them!" Zhang Liao said, took out the holy decree from his hand, and held it high above his head: "Under the order of Prime Minister Dong, I want to take over the army of 30,000 to help General Dong Zheng destroy the thieves." However, these two people did not obey the holy order, and they had to endure the pain and kill them! ”

"This is the order of Prime Minister Dong, if the young general doesn't believe it, you can take a look."

Dong Huang ordered someone to hang the holy decree on the city wall with a hanging basket, pulled Jia Xu over, and unfolded it together.

After reading it several times, Dong Huang had no doubt, because it was covered with the Emperor's letter seal, one of the six seals of the Son of Heaven, which was specially used to transfer troops.

In the 400 years since the founding of the Han Dynasty, there are four kinds of tokens for sending troops, namely tiger charms, festivals, feathers, and edicts!

Before Wang Mang, the Han court had strong control over the local area, so the tiger charm was credited; After the founding of Guangwu, the power of the state and county to command the army and the right to transfer troops were gradually unified, especially Liu Yan's suggestion that since the system of the integration of the herdsman, military and government in Kaizhou, the use of the tiger charm to transfer troops is almost zero.

And the festival and feather payment, once became a token of the army, but it is easy to be imitated.

Hanjie, bamboo, seven feet long, with an oxtail on it;

The person who uses the wooden slip as the book, the length of the ruler is two inches, and the call is also used. If there is an emergency, it will be inserted with bird feathers, showing speed and speed, and it is for the feathers.

These two kinds of tokens are extremely easy to be used fraudulently, for example, Yuan Shao called on the princes of the world to oppose Dong and ask Dong for his text, and he used Yu Yu.

And the emperor's letter seal, under the bronze beast talisman, sent to the state town soldiers, no one can imitate, and at the same time has the supreme right to send troops!

As soon as Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang City, he stuffed the emperor's letter seal into his arms and firmly grasped the military power in his hands.

Liu Xie lured Dong Zhuo into Dinghu Palace, and after the palace was killed, he took back the emperor's letter seal from him, and then asked Imperial Physician Ji to take it out and hand it over to Xun You and Zhang Liao.

After Xun You prepared this holy decree and stamped it with the seal of the emperor's letter, Zhang Liao carried the holy decree and quickly joined Gao Shun.

Gao Shun, who had already left Dinghu Palace, took 800 soldiers from the camp to the vicinity of Weicheng last night, and after resting for a night, he was in good spirits.

After Zhang Liao arrived at the camp, he and Gao Shun and others directly killed Wei Xu and Song Xian, took out the holy decree, and collected 30,000 troops, and led the troops to Chang'an City.
