~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Luoyang, formerly known as Luoyang, was the capital of Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty Liu Xiu in 25 AD. He believed that the Han belonged to the fire virtue and avoided water, so he changed Luoyang to Luoyang, which belonged to Henan Yin. In the fifth year of Yonghe in the Eastern Han Dynasty (140 years), population statistics showed that Henan Yin "had 208,486 households and 101,827 mouths", nearly half of which were distributed in Luoyang, which can be called a world-class metropolis.

But only half a century later, in 196 years, the population of Luoyang is not one in 100, according to the latest statistics of Hucao, the entire Luoyang, the registered population is less than 30,000. Luoyang can be said to have collapsed.

Historically, after Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven, he was also frightened by the ruins of Luoyang, and he didn't want to be elbowed by the Luoyang clan, so he moved the capital to Xu County in Yuzhou and renamed it Xudu. Cao Cao Qian had the foundation and confidence, at that time he had most of the territory of Yanzhou and Yuzhou, both of which bordered Henan Yin, and it was convenient to move wherever he wanted.

But Ma Han had no choice, even if the sun was rotten to the root, he could only work hard to make the rotten root sprout again.

Mahan's reconstruction plan is divided into three steps: the first step is to clean up the whole city, and keep as many buildings as possible that can be preserved, and demolish those that have no retention value. Strive to clean up the weeds and piles of garbage in Luoyang within three to five months, at least it looks like a square. This clean-up is not easy. Luoyang is longitudinal from north to south, rectangular, nine miles from north to south, six miles from east to west, and the whole city circle is close to thirty miles. It is easy to imagine how difficult it is to clean up such a vast mountain of garbage. But no matter how difficult it is, it has to be done, and the palace in the garbage heap is useless no matter how beautiful it is.

The second step is to rebuild one main hall and two side halls within the year, and repair all levels of government offices and residential areas at the same time. Strengthen the defenses of the surrounding city gates.

The third step is to complete the infrastructure construction of Luoyang within three years, and strive to restore the former landscape.

It is always easier to destroy than to build, and after nearly a hundred years of expansion, Luoyang has such a scale, and it only takes a fire to destroy it! No matter what later generations say about Dong Zhuo, just rely on him to destroy the fire of Luoyang. It is enough to nail it to the pillar of historical shame.

However, for Ma Han, even if Luoyang is not good in this way, at least one thing is very advantageous - Luoyang's defense ability is very strong. This kind of strength is reflected in the eight male passes around Luoyang.

In the east of Xingyang, there is the world-famous Tiger Prison Pass, which is the first line of defense against the east; And the revolving gate pass at the foot of Chenggao Dapi Mountain, which is fifty miles away from Xingyang. It is the second line of defense in the east. In the southwest, the four passes are connected into a line, and each other is a horn. No matter how many troops you have, you can only look at Guan and sigh. Not to mention the west, the world of Hangu is dangerous, and one husband will choke it, and ten thousand people will not open it. As for the north, there are not only the natural dangers of the Yellow River, but also the two major river-facing passes of Mengjin Pass (Mengjin Pass) and Xiaopingjin Pass, which hold Hejin. Although the Yellow River has a frozen period every year, in the cold winter, the army must first risk the loss of half of its own army freezing to death and half of the frostbite, plus the two Dajin Passes...... It seems that Yang Feng's crazy idea is just thinking about it, and if it is really implemented, the success rate is less than one percent.

The "Eight Passes of the Duyi" in Luoyang is not called in vain, plus the two heavily guarded Guomen in the east and west, and the ten major defenses, it is like encircling Luoyang into an iron bucket. As long as the people are united, the commander's control over the army is sufficient, and only a small number of troops are enough to resist dozens of times the enemy.

In history, Yang Feng and Dong Chengna, who were beaten by the Xiliang army and were defeated by the remnants of the army, once sent Cao Cao to welcome the Son of Heaven at Yuyuan Pass. At the same time, Cao Cao wanted to meet the Son of Heaven, but he did not dare to beat the tiger prison, but instead made a detour through Hanoi and borrowed from Zhang Yang. With Cao Cao's elite army fighting in vicious battles such as chasing Lu Bu and destroying the Yellow Turban (Runan) at that time, they had no choice but to "flatter" the remnants of the two generals.

In the Eight Great Xiongguan, most of them are intact, but some have lost their functions, such as the revolving gate pass was destroyed, so the Dongguo Gate, which was originally the third line of defense, became the second line of defense. In addition, the Great Valley Pass is also dilapidated, and the defense value has dropped significantly, both of which need to be maintained.

Ma Han didn't have many troops at hand, and the total number of infantry and cavalry was only more than 4,000 after deducting the Lou boat soldiers. The only real reliable one is the nearly 1,000 men and horses of the Second Battalion of Liaodong Infantry Cavalry that he brought. The remaining 3,000 men and horses are all remnants of the defeated army, and they can't talk about morale and honor at all. It's okay to guard the pass, and the battle in the waves is definitely not the opponent of the Xiliang Army. Therefore, these four major levels are of great significance to Ma Han, who is in the most difficult period.

In mid-February, Ma Han readjusted the deployment: Xu Huang led 1,000 soldiers and horses to guard the tiger prison in the east; Wu chased a thousand soldiers and horses to guard Xuanyuan Pass; Han Xi has 1,000 soldiers and horses, guarding Yique Pass; Zhou Cang has a thousand soldiers and horses, and guards the Guguan. Among the 1,000 soldiers and horses in Zhoucang, nearly half are infantry battalions of the Liaodong Army. At present, the only one who can go against the Xiliang Army and dare to meet the bayonets of the Xiliang Army is the Liaodong Army.

And Ma Han personally led a hundred of the most powerful heavy cavalry and a hundred wolf tooth flying horses with the highest mobility to protect the Son of Heaven and sit in the center.

At the end of February, the spring was cold, with Liu Ai as the main servant, and Cao Jiacai and Bo Cao Jia from General Wei's Mansion as the deputies, they began to recruit displaced people to carry out the first phase of the reconstruction of Luoyang with work for relief.

In the middle of March, spring is in full bloom, and good news is coming. Hedong Taishou Wangyi and Hanoi Taishou Zhang Yangju sent envoys to transport 3,000 grains across the Yellow River. Although there are few things, they can be regarded as solving the urgent need, and the most important thing is to show the position and sincerity of the two counties.

Yuan Shao of Jizhou, which Ma Han was most concerned about, also reacted. Yuan Shao also sent envoys to pay tribute, and the grain was also transported as much as 10,000 hundred. However, because the envoys' food teams had to pass through Hanoi County, they were all blocked by Zhang Yang. Yuan Shao, the soldier of the grain team and the escort soldiers, there are more than 1,000 people, how dare Zhang Yang put these thousands of Yuan troops into his own territory, is he not afraid of the repetition of the story of the false Dao and the enemy?

Zhang Yang proposed to send someone to escort him, but Jizhou was unwilling - the tribute is mine, but the person who gave the gift is not me, how can there be such a good thing as borrowing flowers to offer Buddha?

Under the stalemate between the two sides, when the Son of Heaven heard the news, he had to send his servant Han Rong to coordinate and try to come up with a plan acceptable to both parties.

Apart from these three, the rest of the parties have had mixed reactions.

To the east, Cao Cao finally drove Lü Bu to Xuzhou and regained control of Yanzhou, and was now sharpening his sword to Runan. For the return of the Son of Heaven to the east, the Cao Cao Group has been keenly aware that this is an excellent opportunity, but they can't spare their hands at the moment, and no matter what aspect they consider, it is very difficult to welcome the Son of Heaven by force. Therefore, Cao Cao instructed Cheng Yu to formulate a plan......

To the west, the Kansai warlords were silent. Li Dao and Guo Yan have returned to Chang'an, after all, in the cold winter, it is impossible for their thousands of troops to stay in the ruined cities such as Xin'an and Huangchi to be frozen, and their heavy grain and grass are all in Chiyang, west of Chang'an, and it is extremely difficult to transport them in winter. Previously, the food and grass of the two armies relied on Zhang Ji, who was stationed in Hongnong, but no matter how good Zhang Ji was, it was impossible to support the two armies for a long time. Therefore, no matter how unwilling the second general is, he can only withdraw first and make plans after the weather warms up in the coming year.

To the south, there is a chaotic Yuzhou, there are more bandits than officers and soldiers, not to mention tribute, even if you don't rob, just ignore it. As for the farther ones, such as Qingzhou and Youzhou, it is even more impossible to count on.

For Ma Han, the biggest good news comes from Liaodong, to be precise, Donglai. Donglai Taishou Taishi Ci sent Guan Hai to transport the first batch of 50,000 Hu grain and grass, as well as the 1,000-foot cavalry of the White Wolf Army, which has been traced up the river and is expected to arrive in Henan in mid to late April. And this is just the first batch of reinforcements and grain, according to the plan, in the next six months, at least three batches will be transported, so that the total strength of the White Wolf Army in Luoyang will reach 5,000. Only by reaching this number can Ma Han have the strength to take the initiative to attack the princes of any side and truly grasp the strategic initiative.

The reconstruction of Luoyang has already begun, and in addition to recruiting a large number of servants from Henan and Guanzhong, Hanoi and Hedong have also provided thousands of people and animals. The reconstruction was built on the site of the Chongde Hall of the North Palace, which is one of the most important palaces in the North Palace of Luoyang, and has been the palace of the emperor's court and government in the past dynasties. Although it was burned to the ground, abandoned for several years, and weeds everywhere, the foundation is still there, and rebuilding on the original foundation can get twice the result with half the effort.

After a few months of recuperation, from the Son of Heaven, ministers, hundred officials, and even the descendants, they all established good confidence in this young Wei general, and they were well fed and clothed, and people's hearts gradually became peaceful. One qiē, are developing in a good way.

At the end of March, the Son of Heaven issued an edict to add officials to all the civil and military generals of the Liaodong Group to show his encouragement.

Zhao Yun was the general of Pingbei and led the western Liaoxi Taishou.

Tai Shi Ci is the general of Pingdong and the leader of Donglai Taishou.

Le Jin is the general of Huya Zhonglang and leads Liaobei Taishou (Wo Fu's hometown and Fuyu, Su Shen).

Jia Xu is a general of the military division and a leader in Shang Shucheng.

Wang Lie is the imperial history and the long history of Liaodong.

Tian Yu was the governor of Liaodong and led the Xiangping Order.

The above six people are all named the Marquis of the Pavilion.

Xiahou Lan is the captain of the rebellion, Bing Yuan is the Taishou of Liaoning, Guoyuan is the Changshi of Liaoning, Lu Dai is the commander of Ping Guoling, Liu Yi is the chief secretary of Donglai, Guan Hai is the captain of Wumeng, and Pei Yuanshao is the captain of the cavalry......

Although the actual position is basically unchanged, most of them have added the title of general and knight, even if they have not been added to the rank and knight, they have also corrected their names and become generals of the Han Dynasty, and they are no longer self-appointed grass-headed officials. This seems to have changed little, but it is of great significance to the Liaodong group headed by Ma Han to govern Liaodong in a proper manner.

At the same time, the letter was led by Captain Yang Biao, and hundreds of officials seconded it. It is said that the Son of Heaven returns to the east, the capital of God is rebuilt, the four seas are peaceful, and the Han Dynasty is prosperous. It is advisable to change the beginning of the yuan to respond to the omen.

The Son of Heaven played on the spot, taking the words of "the rebuilding of the divine capital and the peace of the four seas", and changed the three years of Xingping to the first year of Jian'an.

When the era name of "Jian'an" with special significance finally appeared, the history of the late Han Dynasty opened a new page. (To be continued......)
