The outline of Luoyang City gradually emerged in the mist. The pavilion of the www.biquge.info hall stands silently against the dim background. This majestic city full of splendor and sorrow, joy and pain! The golden sun rose slowly in the east, piercing the gloom that filled the city. The open streets became clearer and clearer in the dawn, and from time to time early risers began to walk among them. The city woke up. By the time the sun pours into every corner of the city, the city has become the center of boiling and hustle and bustle.

Yang Ke and the other three dispersed early, and chatted in the Yang Mansion for a long time, and when they went to visit Honggu again, it was only dawn. Tang Zhong walked with emotion, as an old man who had experienced the turmoil of the Wei and Jin dynasties, and an old family living in the suburbs of Beijing, when he was a teenager, he was still studying in Luoyang City, Tang Zhong obviously had a deep feeling and understanding of the capital Luoyang: "In the year when the first emperor captured Wu and unified the world, Sun Hao, the king of Wu, entered Beijing and surrendered, and it was really unprecedented, and groups of cavalry appeared on the avenue and opened up a passage in the crowd. On both sides of the passage, crowded with onlookers. Compete for the front spot to witness a once-in-a-lifetime scene. The fresh-looking soldiers were followed by the frustrated captives of the Wu State. Under the leadership of Sun Hao, the king of Wu, he passed through the gate and entered the Taiji Palace, prostrate in front of the throne. The first emperor said to Sun Hao: Many years ago, I prepared this seat for you. Sun Hao's answer was: I am in Jiangdong, and I have already prepared such a seat for Your Majesty. The seat that Sun Hao had prepared for the first emperor did not come in handy. The first emperor also laughed at King Wu's answer. ”

"Old master, is this the road that King Wu walked back then?" Yang Ke asked.

Tang Zhong nodded: "Yes, it is this road, but back then, there were frequent wars, and the road at that time was not so neat and wide, and the population was not as dense as it is today." ”

Yang Ke looked at the prosperity in his eyes, and couldn't help sighing, as a traverser, he not only knew the past of Luoyang City, but also understood the future of Luoyang City. In the last years of the Wei and Jin dynasties, Luoyang and Jianye competed for decades, with Shaanxi and Henan being the most prosperous regions in ancient China, and Chang'an and Luoyang being the core cities of these two regions, respectively. The Eastern Han Empire abandoned the withered city of Chang'an and made Luoyang the national capital. The two cities of Chang'an and Luoyang are known as Xijing and Tokyo.

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Luoyang City was the most magnificent city in the entire empire. Palaces are all over the city, surrounded by forests, where the goods of the world are gathered, and the wealth of the world is overflowing. At the height of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the population of Luoyang was said to have exceeded one million. On the whole earth, only the cities of Rome and Alexandria in the west can be compared with Luoyang.

Luoyang City stayed at the pinnacle of fate for nearly two hundred years. And the speed at which she fell to the bottom was so fast, and the situation of sinking was so miserable, that the prosperity of the two hundred years was like a spring dream. In 189 AD, Dong Zhuo led the Northwest Army into Luoyang City. Luoyang's nightmare began. Those brutal soldiers were like wild beasts, plundering and killing the capital. The people of Luoyang, who were accustomed to staying in a comfortable environment, had no power to resist such a fierce army, and let others slaughter them like lambs. The most horrific scene took place in 190 A.D. Dong Zhuo led the army to Luoyang, and drove hundreds of thousands of Luoyang people to Chang'an with the army. The army drove these people, trampled them with horses, treated them as cruelly as cattle, abused, toiled and starved, and turned the road from Luoyang to Chang'an into a road of death. Fallen corpses fill the roads.
