Zhang Jaw knew that he was speechless, and hurriedly pleaded guiltily: "The last general will not dare, the lord is so trusted, the last general will definitely bow down and live up to the trust!" ”

Wen Yuan gently lifted his jaw up, and said kindly: "Junyi, remember, I can't reveal my exit to anyone!" If outsiders ask, they will say that I am going out to visit friends, and I will return to the camp in ten days! ”

"The last general obeys!"

Wen Yuan nodded and sent Zhang Jaw out of the tent, just out of the camp tent, Zhang Yu happened to come back, carrying a few bags in his hands, and a dozen short shovels.

Wen Yuan asked, "Are you all ready?" ”

Zhang Yu opened these bags, there were mostly ordinary clothes in them, and there were some ropes, hooks, and said with a smile: "Young master, don't worry, it's all in order." ”

Wen Yuan ordered Zhang Yu to guard the tent again, and summoned Wang Li in: "You quickly go and transfer ten people from the pro-soldier team, remember, the only requirement is to follow me from Bingzhou and Luoyang, and be extremely loyal to me!" Each of these clothes and utensils has a secret mission tonight! ”

Wang Li nodded and received the order, it was the second watch of the night, Wen Yuan led Zhang Yu, Wang Li and ten henchmen and guards After some careful arrangements, they unknowingly left the west gate of the tiger prison and headed north.

In order to keep it secret, all thirteen people walked, and all the things they carried on weekdays were left in the camp, only pretending to be ordinary people, with sackcloth and hats, and hidden short blades.

At this time, although it is the weather of early spring in February, the cold wind is still biting in the middle of the night, a group of more than ten people wrapped their robes tightly, still feel that there is a cold wind like a snake into the clothes, everyone dare not light the fire, the surrounding is pitch black, the bare tree branches are knotted, like a monster with teeth and claws, it makes people panic, in order to get rid of the panic in their hearts, everyone can only whisper yes to talk, except for Wen Yuan, everyone else does not know where this trip is going, even Zhang Yu and Wang Li only vaguely know some of these things.

Everyone traveled all the way north, and gradually, the sound of the turbid heavy water of the river rushing became more and more clear into everyone's ears. Wen Yuanxing came, and by the light of the stars, he led everyone up to a hill by the river.

Lin Yuan looked at the river, the cold river wind blew Wen Yuan's clothes, Wen Yuan suddenly felt that his brain was clear and bright, he looked at the Yellow River with affection, and an indescribable feeling filled his heart.

This is the Mother River! Wen Yuan was born in the Huai River valley in his previous life, and he only saw the mighty and surging of the Yellow River on TV!

It is not yet summer season, and the murky river flows quietly and gently, like a yellow dragon across the east and west, day after day, year after year.

Unconsciously, Wen Yuan's eyes moistened, perhaps as Wen Yuan saw an article before, any Chinese son and daughter with national feelings, when he saw the Yellow River with his own eyes, the biggest feeling in his heart was - sadness!

High rocks, majestic cliffs, vast wilderness, deep ravines, how can you not make people sad when you see these?

The majestic Yellow River has witnessed the rise and fall of the Chinese nation throughout the ages, but if we follow the normal trend of history, more than 100 years later, the entire Central Plains will be occupied by the Wuhu in the north, and the surging Yellow River will be soaked in the blood of tens of millions of Chinese descendants. Almost extinct!

Thinking of this, Wen Yuan knelt down emotionally facing the Yellow River, bowed three times, and secretly prayed in his heart: "The mother of the Yellow River is above, I Zhang Wenyuan has no great ambitions, if I am a county official, I will try my best to protect the people of a county, if it is a state official, I will reluctantly shelter them, as for the world, I dare not think, if you have a spirit in the sky, please bless the descendants of the Han Dynasty not to suffer this catastrophe!" ”

After going down the hill, Zhang Yu led the way, and arrived at a dry reed swing by the river, pushed out a small boat, and everyone sat on it and crossed the river to the north bank.

The north bank is the border of the inner part of the river, which is already the territory of the coalition army, but there are many military camps everywhere, Wen Yuan's trip is as secret as possible, but he doesn't want the coalition soldiers to be caught as spies, so he took everyone to choose a small road and traveled all the way to the west.

On both sides of the Yellow River, the scenery is incomparably magnificent, with dense ravines, rugged boulders, and withered reeds on both sides of the river fluttering in the wind. The brown water of the Yellow River rushes down into the sea!

After two days, the enemy and us on both sides of the Yellow River began to be heavily garrisoned, Wen Yuan recruited a local people to inquire, this is already the boundary of Mengxian County, ten miles to the east is Mengjin Port, there is Dong Zhuo's army stationed, five miles to the west is the small Pingjin ferry, Wen Yuan took out the map from the underwear and looked at it, bought a small boat nearby, and crossed from the south of Xiaopingjin into the northern mountain boundary of Luoyang.

Beibi Mountain, also known as Beimang, Beishan, Beishan, Pingfeng Mountain, Taiping Mountain, Jiashan. Beibi Mountain is majestic, the water is deep and the soil is thick, the altitude is about 300 meters, the east and west Hengdan are hundreds of miles, the north and south also have dozens of miles, it is located in the north of Luoyang City, the capital of the Han Dynasty, the south bank of the Yellow River, it is the remaining vein of the Qinling Mountains, the branch vein of the Kunshan Mountains.

Wen Yuan and his entourage went around the Beibi Mountains for another day, and finally walked out of the southern foothills, and everyone probably knew that the destination of this trip was Luoyang.

Out of Beibi Mountain, it is already the boundary of Luoyang, Luoyang City is easy to find, Dong Zhuo will burn all the palaces, official residences, shops, and private houses in Luoyang when he leaves! Now, although more than ten days have passed, the embers have not been extinguished at all, and Wen Yuan saw that the sky in the southwest was full of black smoke on the Beibi Mountain, and he searched all the way.

It's just that within a radius of two hundred miles of Luoyang City, it is deserted, on this road, the corpses are everywhere, exuding bursts of foul smell, the mausoleum on the Beibi Mountain has also been excavated, the white bones are exposed to the wilderness, the eagles and wild dogs are rampant, and these corpses are gnawed and mutilated.

Wen Yuan was unable to bury the body, so he could only hide his nose and move forward, and finally rushed to Luoyang City on the night of the third day.

Luoyang, that is, the sun of Luoshui, Luoyang City is one of the famous capitals, also known as the eastern capital, echoing with the Chang'an City in Guanzhong, controlling Yique in the south, relying on the mountains in the north, Hugao in the east, and Hanguguan in the west, because it is surrounded by mountains on all sides, the climate is mild, the rainfall is abundant, the land is fertile, and it is one of the most important settlements of the descendants of China since ancient times.

King Wu since the defeat of Yin Shang, the establishment of the Great Zhou regime, in order to manage the nearby Shandong Yin Shang Dynasty to participate in the tribe, specially ordered Zhou Gongdan and Zhao Gong to establish the eastern capital Luoyang north of Luoshui, to the time of King Zhou Ping, in order to avoid the rebellion of the dog Rong, the Zhou royal family gave up Haojing, moved the capital to Luoyang, and further promoted the development of Luoyang's culture and economy.

A thousand years later, Liu Xiu, a descendant of the Western Han royal family in Nanyang, pacified the troubled times, rebuilt Luoyang in the south of the original site, and set the capital here, known as the Eastern Han Dynasty in history.

From Liu Xiuding's capital Luoyang to this time, more than 100 years have passed.

The newly built Luoyang City, nine miles long from north to south, six miles wide from east to west, has a rectangular structure in shape, and is also called "the city of ninety-six". ”

In Luoyang City, there are twenty-four large streets that go north and south and east and west, and willow trees and locust trees are planted on both sides, and the middle of the street and the street is the "li" of residence. The main street is about 40 meters wide and 500 meters long. In the middle of the city, there is a road dedicated to the Son of Heaven, called the Imperial Road. On both sides of the road, there is a long wall about one and a half meters high. According to the original state of Luoyang City, Emperor Wu of the Eastern Han Dynasty rebuilt the "South Palace", and the office and residence are here. To the east of the South Palace, there are Situ Mansion, Sikong Mansion and Taiwei Mansion. During the Ming Emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the "North Palace" was added to the northwest of the South Palace, which was specially used for the emperor and the royal family. The North Palace has four gates, the name is exactly the same as the South Palace, with four gates: Suzaku (South), Canglong (East), White Tiger (West), and Xuanwu (North). For the safety of the emperor going back and forth between the two palaces every day, there is a double passage between the two palaces, and the upper floor is the emperor's special passage.

The main hall of the North Palace is the Deyang Hall, where important ceremonies are often held, and the emperor often meets with important ministers in the Suzaku Que here. The Deyang Hall is surrounded by eight palaces such as Hande, Zhangtai, Tianlu and Xuanming. In the northeast corner of Luoyang City, there is a Yong'an Palace, near which there is a large warehouse and an arsenal, which is a storage center for weapons and grain, and there is a special hub door for transporting incoming and outgoing goods next to it. Most of the castle is a high-end residential area, which is reserved for civil and military officials. In particular, the Upper East Gate and the Middle East Gate near the east city wall, there are Buguang-ri and Yonghe-li, most of which are large-scale mansions, and many powerful ministers live here.

The entire city of Luoyang is composed of palaces, gardens, government offices and palaces of high-ranking officials and ministers. The common people lived on the outskirts of the city. There are three main "cities" in and around Luoyang City, the Jin Market in the northwest of Nangong, which is the only residential area in the city, where there are some unofficial royal merchants and wealthy Shihao. The horse market in the eastern suburbs and the southern market in the southern suburbs are active areas for civilian housing and small and medium-sized shops.

Due to the system of sitting in the north and facing south, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty built a military force in the fourteenth year, that is, in 38 A.D., and re-used the flat gate of the south city wall as the main gate of Luoyang City. The gate of the South Palace has an avenue that directly connects to the Pingcheng Gate. Outside the Pingcheng Gate is the South City, and near the avenue of the City Gate, there are two temples dedicated to sacrifices: the east side is Biyong, which is the sacrificial hall for rituals and religions, and is the symbol of Confucianism and education in the world; The west side is the Lingtai, which is an observatory for observing celestial phenomena and clouds, and is also a symbol of the Mandate of Heaven, where the most important scientific inventions in the Eastern Han Dynasty, ——— Zhang Heng's armillary sphere and geodynamic instrument, are installed.

And this was once the land of Gyeonggi of the Great Han, where millions of people once lived! But now there are very few living people to be seen, and there are rotten and charred corpses, collapsed houses, and blackened ruins of broken wood!

And Wen Yuan is not far away for hundreds of miles, and he came here in disguise and secretly, just for the same thing - the jade seal of the country!
