---------------- excerpt from the introduction

"Is this Chang'an City?"

Looking at the somewhat dilapidated city in front of him, Zeng Hua didn't believe that this was the eight-water Chang'an, which had been glorious for thousands of years, and was called "the world's four ancient capitals" by Cairo, Athens, and Rome in later generations?

Seeing Zeng Hua like this, Che Yin next to him couldn't help but smile and said, "I'm afraid I'm disappointed, right?" Since the Han dynasty moved eastward, Chang'an has lost its status as the national capital, and after years of war, it seems to be dilapidated. ”

As soon as the words were mentioned, Che Yin, who was full of knowledge, couldn't help but grunt outside.

Han Gaozu listened to the advice of Lou Jing, Zhang Liang and others and decided to set the capital in Guanzhong. However, at that time, many of the palaces and rooms of the former Qin Dynasty had been burned down, and they could only temporarily live in Liyang, the old capital of the Qin Dynasty. The high ancestor repaired the Xingle Palace, and renamed it Changle Palace, and based on this, the capital city was built, named Chang'an City. In February of the seventh year of Gaozu (200 years ago), Changle Palace was completed, and hundreds of officials of the imperial court migrated from Liyang to Chang'an. In the eighth year of Gaozu of the Han Dynasty (199 years ago), Weiyang Palace was built on the west side of Changle Palace. ”

The city wall of Chang'an City, from the first month of the first year of Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty (194 years ago) began to be built, and was carried out several times before and after, and was basically completed in September of the fifth year of Emperor Hui (190 years ago). The city wall is about 60 miles around (Hanli), the city is three zhang and five feet high, and there are three city gates on each side, and there are canals or rivers on all sides. The south side from east to west is: Covering Angmen (Du Gate), Anmen, Xi'an Gate; The west is from south to north in order of Zhangmen, Zhimen, Yongmen; The north side from west to east is: Hengmen, Luomen, and Limen; The east side from north to south is: Xuanping Gate (East Capital Gate), Qingming Gate, and Bamen. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty built more construction and built the north palace created by Gaozu in the north of Weiyang Palace, and built new palaces such as Gui Palace and Mingguang Palace. According to the book, the south of Chang'an City is like the South Dipper, and the north of the city is like the Big Dipper, and the garden is also called "Doucheng". The streets in the city are neatly laid out, there are eight streets and nine mo, one hundred and sixty li, and there are nine cities on the east and west sides of the north of the city Hengmen for trading; In addition, there is also a city outside the gate of Fu'an, and there is also a "Huai Market" in the south of the city that specializes in trading books.

Hearing this, Zeng Hua couldn't help laughing, pointed at Che Yin and said: "Wuzi, it seems that you are the one who is responsible for this Jing Zhaoyin, but maybe you don't know how long you have been planning for this, no wonder you can't even look down on the history of Liangzhou Thorn!" ”

Next to him, Ji Pu and the others couldn't help laughing, and Che Yin was quite embarrassed to laugh. However, he knew that this was Zeng Hua's joke, so although he blushed a little when he sat on the mount, he was quite upright, and he did not lose his celebrity demeanor.

After a rapid march last night, Zeng Hua led a large army to the city of Chang'an. And the Feiyu army moved faster, and as soon as Shi Bao's front foot walked from Xuanping Gate, they rushed to Yongmen, and a rocket announced the arrival of the Jin army to Chang'an. The people of Chang'an and Haoqiang, who had been waiting for a long time, couldn't help but move when they saw this movement, besieging the official office and your residence, and there was a sudden chaos in Chang'an City.

The officials of Zhao State who heard the chaos asked for instructions one after another, but when they asked for instructions at the end, they found that the supreme leader, Leping Wang Shibao, and Zuo Changshi Zuoluo, who had been in charge of "practical work", were gone, and the entire Leping Wangfu was in chaos. After careful inquiry, I learned that Prince Leping and Zuo Changshi had left Chang'an to "report on work in Yecheng", and they also knew that Ma Qiu, who was escorting them, had been defeated in Sanqiao.

So the whole Chang'an was even more chaotic. Shi Bao lost more than 10,000 elite soldiers and horses in the city at a loss, some stayed at the station behind closed doors, some opened the city gate to flee without permission, and some joined in the vigorous action of the chaotic people. Suddenly, several fires began to rise in Chang'an City, and the people who knew that Shibao had fled became more and more excited, and soon captured several official mansions and began to loot them and kill people and set fires. And the subordinate officials and nobles have gathered their troops and swore to protect the government and defend the family.

Finally, someone who knew each other quickly opened the Yongmen and welcomed the Feiyu Army inside. The leader of the Flying Feather Army was the general Yang Su of Yokono, who led his troops into Chang'an City and saw such a scene, and hurriedly ordered all battalions to patrol each district, and ordered all the streets and miles to return to their camps and close their doors, but those who dared to run on the streets were all regarded as spies and mobs.

Soon, the Feiyu Army rode horses and galloped on the streets of Chang'an as a team, giving orders everywhere, ordering the people to go home, and without mercy slaughtered hundreds of people and powerful people who were dazed and crazy and unwilling to obey orders. Seeing that the Flying Feather Army was angry and opened the meat, the people and the heroes knew that the current ruler was not them but Wang Shi, and they couldn't help but be ordered to scatter and go home, or put down their weapons under the surveillance of the Flying Feather Army, and squatted in one place to wait for the fate.

About an hour passed, the whole Chang'an gradually calmed down, dozens of fires were extinguished, and all the people and officials and nobles of Zhao State hid in their homes and mansions, looking forward to the dawn with mixed feelings. I only heard the sound of horses' hooves galloping on the bluestone street on the street from time to time, and the flying feather cavalry patrolled the streets and alleys endlessly, and saw people who dared to wander outside, regardless of three, seven, twenty-one, going up was a knife, and the result was to talk about it. The occasional scream that pierced the night sky made everyone who heard it shudder.

When Zeng Hua hurried to Chang'an City with his infantry in the morning, Yang Su had already controlled Chang'an City, but the four gates of the entire Chang'an City were closed, the streets were silent, and no one walked in broad daylight. However, Zeng Hua couldn't see this scene, because he hadn't entered the city yet, and he was caught by Yang Su when he was still outside Chang'an City, and he reported the situation clearly.

Zeng Hua, who knew that Chang'an had been decided, was overjoyed, and first ordered the two infantry troops and the four thousand Zhichong soldiers to immediately enter the city to take over the defense, and then looked around the city with interest to look at the long-admired Chang'an City outside the city.

"Where is that?" Zeng Hua suddenly pointed to a slightly raised slope in the southeast of Chang'an City and asked.

"Lord Hui, that is Longshouyuan, starting from the three bridges in the west and reaching the bank of the Chan River in the east." Bending over and answering with great humility was Zhao Zhengxi's general Sun Fudu.

The generals Sun Fudu, Liu Hun, and Wang Bao were all leading generals who followed Shi Ning, the supervisor of the Central Library, and Ma Qiuxi to conquer Liangzhou. However, the Zhao army suffered a series of defeats on the front line of Caohan (present-day Linxia, Gansu), which made Ma Qiu write the legend of the defeated general, and finally forced Shi Hu to quit his army.

Shi Ning, as an important minister and the "royal family", was left in Shangqi with the history of Liangzhou Thorn, not to mention Sun Fudu, Liu Hun, Wang Bao and Ma Qiu, all of whom were left in Yongliang, it is estimated that Shi Hu did not want to see these few things that were not angry. Last night, Shi Bao, Ma Qiu and others abandoned the city and left, Chang'an was in chaos, and the people who led the army to guard knew that the general trend had gone, so they hurriedly opened the city gate to welcome Wang Shi, and successfully abandoned the darkness and turned to the light.

Zeng Hua couldn't help but nodded, and suddenly remembered when he heard this, this Han Chang'an and Tang Chang'an who will appear later are not the same city, Han Chang'an is in the north of Longshouyuan, south of Weishui, and Tang Chang'an is south of Longshouyuan.

I remember that I made a stop in Xi'an when I was driving home from school that year, and spent a week visiting this thousand-year-old capital. Xi'an has Zeng Hua's grandfather's old comrades-in-arms, and his father's classmates, so he doesn't have to worry about food, shelter or travel. I remember when I visited Weiyang District, I heard the tour guide say such a thing, when Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian thought that Han Chang'an lasted too long, the palace in the city was rotten, water supply, drainage and other daily life equipment was seriously poor, not easy to repair, at the same time, Han Chang'an is located in the north side of Longshou Yuan, close to the Wei River, the scope is narrow, it is difficult to expand the scale of the city, and it does not show the royal style; And the south side of Longshouyuan, the terrain is open and high, and the water diversion traffic is very convenient, so a new capital is built here, and the city is Daxing. Later, Li Yuan built the Tang Dynasty and changed Daxing City to Chang'an City, which was later known as Xi'an City. And in this Longshouyuan, it seems that a palace called Daming Palace has been built, and the very popular "Daming Palace Ci" that I have seen before is about there. Daming Palace, the name is a bit interesting.

Zeng Hua was thinking wildly there, but General Sun Fudu next to him was a little panicked. Seeing his answer just made the new boss nod his head, and then there without speaking, as if thinking about something. Sun Fu, who was not familiar with Zeng Hua's habits, was afraid that he would say something wrong and commit the boss's taboo. And Liu Hun and the others and Sun Fu are all grasshoppers on the same line, and they can't run away from Sun Fudu, so they all panicked together, who called Ma Qiu, Shi Bao, and Shi Ning, who they used to serve, are all brutal and moody people.

After a long while, Zeng Hua finally came back to his senses in the panic of Sun Fudu and others. Seeing the appearance of Sun Liu and others, knowing that this was a common problem for new recruits and generals, he couldn't help but be appeased: "The generals are not only well aware of the righteousness, but also very familiar with the affairs of Yong and Liang, and will definitely help the imperial court to pacify the Guanzhong places." I first pretended to worship the four as the commanders of the army, and first assisted in the reorganization of the former Zhao army. I have asked Mr. Takeko to write the above table for the three generals who have asked for their posts, so please do your job with peace of mind. ”

When Sun Fudu heard this, his heart suddenly rejoiced, and his expression immediately eased, and they all turned over and dismounted, kowtowed, and said: "Thank you for your life, I am willing to go to the soup for the adults and never give up." ”

Zeng Hua hurriedly asked someone to help the three of them up, and comforted them again.

According to Zeng Hua's small abacus, he took advantage of the earth-shattering trouble in the Central Plains and a monkey stole a peach to take Guanzhong, which is already a great blessing, and the rest of the thing is to let it collapse in a few years, or not to move the nest, and to digest this large piece of victory fruit. And Sun Fudu and the three of them are both defending generals and guarding Yongliang and other places for many years, and more importantly, these people are either Qiang, Di or Huns, and they have nothing to do with the deep-eyed and high-nosed Hu people.

Since martial law was still under wrapping up in the city, everyone rode their horses to the camp outside the city at lunchtime.

Seeing that Che Yin and Di Pu had something to say to themselves, Zeng Hua deliberately fell behind. In a short time, the three of them were far behind the others.

"My lord, Sun and Liu are all tigers and wolves, they can be used, and it is even worse to prevent them." Che Yin first whispered.

"It's still Wuzi who is kind, and if you have something to say, just say it. And Su Chang is afraid that he has already begun to plan to transfer a few people from the reconnaissance department to monitor these four people. Zeng Hua chuckled.

Zheng Pu also smiled when he heard this: "The adults still know me, but since the adults dare to use it, they naturally have a way to stop them." ”

"According to Guanzhong, the territory under our jurisdiction will advance from the north of the Nanban land of Yizhou to the place of Beiyi, but the bigger the territory, the greater the risk, so we naturally have to tremble and be cautious. Takeko is worried. ”

Hearing Zeng Hua say this, Che Yin's face relaxed a little.

"Our first task in the future is to pacify the four prefectures of Yong, Qin, Yi, and Liang, and resist the enemy from the north and east. Therefore, we want to connect Liangzhou Zhangjia in the west, Shuofang in the north, and reject the pseudo-Zhao in the east, so that we not only have a big family business, but also have more things to do, so we need more talents. Regardless of whether it is a demote or a voter, we must treat everyone equally and measure their talents. When Zeng Hua said this, his words changed, "Wuzi is relieved, no matter how I use it, I will firmly grasp the military power." ”

Hearing this, Che Yin nodded and said: "I know that the adults are wise and far-sighted, and they began to set the military system and political system as early as Liangzhou, which is to prevent ambitious people from having the opportunity to make trouble without authority." At first, I didn't know what adults meant, but now I understand it more and more. The Xiang Army and the Zhichong Mansion are separated, and they are stationed in their daily drills in peacetime, and then they are collected and compiled in wartime, and the military orders and dispatches are all issued by the General's Mansion, all for the sake of the generals to have heavy troops and arbitrary power. ”

Hearing this, Zeng Hua felt a little funny, he was a typical example of owning heavy troops and arbitrarily exercising power, but it was indeed a bit ironic to formulate many systems to prevent his subordinates from owning troops and arbitrarily exercising power.

Zeng Hua hurriedly picked up the topic: "Wuzi, have you written the good news for Jiankang?" ”

"It's written, and it has been sent to the court urgently not long ago." Che Yin said in high spirits that one of his letters to the people of Guanzhong has shaken Guanzhong, and this kind of shaking is shaking to the Central Plains and Jiangdong, and his name will definitely spread all over the country with this article, and his real fame will shock the world.

So after receiving Yang Sujin's battle report from Chang'an last night, Che Yin immediately shouted to write a good report to report to the imperial court. He will not let go of another opportunity to move the world, and he will write the good news with a brilliant pen.

"What do you say will happen to the government and the opposition when they receive the victory in Guanzhong?" Zeng Hua asked with a smile.

"I'm afraid it's another shock! As soon as I received the above table in the military pass, I received the battle report of the great victory, I am afraid that the government and the opposition will ......" Che Yin felt that he didn't know how to describe it, so he paused.

Thinking that those celebrities and celebrities were stunned again in their good news, Zeng Hua couldn't help but feel a little proud: "Those celebrities and celebrities are really famous, thinking that fighting a war is the same as chanting poetry and painting." When he heard that Northern Zhao Shihu was dead, he rushed to send troops, for fear that he would not be able to take advantage. Our dynasty is located in the south of the Yangtze River, and there is a lack of war horses, and most of them are infantry troops. Without making any preparations, they sent troops to Yan and Xu to fight against the cavalry of the Zhao army on the plain, didn't this take the sergeants to send them to death? Speaking of which, Zeng Hua became a little angry.

Speaking of the cavalry of the Zhao army, Zeng Hua remembered his cavalry. "Jiang Nan, Yao Jin, have they arrived?"

"Lord Hui, they have arrived, and they have bypassed Chang'an and stationed in Huichang in the east." He replied.

Zeng Hua breathed a sigh of relief, these rabbit cubs finally arrived on time, lest they really use military law.

After another night, after the two infantry troops and the 4,000 Zhichong soldiers occupied Chang'an, Zeng Hua ordered Che Yin to take the general of Zhenbei and Shi Xingjing Zhaoyin, stationed in Chang'an, and began to formally take over the "regime". And he did not enter Chang'an, and then led the three-box infantry army, the left and right guard camps, and the fourteen-box flying feather cavalry, and continued to pursue to the east until Tongguan.

It is said that Shi Bao ran all the way, and when Zeng Hua successfully arrived in Chang'an, he also arrived in Xinfeng City, but he met reinforcements there, and the cavalry general Wang Lang led 20,000 elite cavalry.

Seeing Shibao for the first time, Wang Lang couldn't believe that this embarrassed person was the most gentle and elegant prince of Leping, the sons of the first emperor Shihu.

"Your Highness, what's wrong with you?" Wang Lang hurriedly supported the stone bud that turned over and dismounted and walked a little shaky.

"Lord Wang, the Northern Expedition of the Jin Army in Liangzhou, Chang'an has fallen." Next to him, the dismounted Left Roti Shibud replied.

"What?!" Wang Lang was suddenly speechless in shock.

This Chang'an tiger is in the pass, it is one of the most powerful cities in the world, and Shi Bao also has tens of thousands of elite soldiers in his hands, how to say that he is defeated, and even Chang'an has been captured. When he was ordered to send troops, he only heard that there were mobs and thieves in Guanzhong, and when he passed through Hongnong County, he read the text of the Jin army in Liangzhou. I was still laughing at the time, the article was a good article, but this Jin person was a well-known soft-footed shrimp, but I was afraid that he was screaming fiercely in his mouth, and in the end he still came out to lose his troops and return to the army. Wang Lang didn't take the Northern Expedition of the Jin Army in Liangzhou seriously at all, he only thought about how to complete the secret order of "Your Majesty".

Wang Lang's heart suddenly turned countless thoughts, and suddenly saw Ma Qiutie walking over with a blue face, his heart moved, and he hurriedly ordered: "Come here, hurry up and welcome the prince and a few adults back to the camp!" ”

That night, Wang Lang set up a banquet in his big tent to entertain Shi Bao, Ma Qiu and others, and his subordinate generals Shi Tu and Shi Zhu accompanied him.

Shi Bud looked in a bad mood, no need to be persuaded by others, this wine was one cup after another, desperately poured into his mouth, and after a while, he shook his head and appeared drunk.

Wang Lang, who already knew the reason, could only look at Shi Bao with sympathetic eyes, whoever had "accumulated" for more than ten years and hundreds of carefully collected beauties would be so virtuous.

"General Ma, drink a few more glasses to relieve fatigue." Shi Bao didn't dare to persuade him, Wang Lang had to persuade Ma Qiu, and Wang Lang had a good relationship with him before.

Ma Qiu raised the wine bottle gratefully, seeing that the old king still remembered the old feelings, which was much stronger than the two bastards next to him. Look at the two generals surnamed Shi, staring at themselves with their noses and eyes, and despise themselves as a defeated general. You cows! If you have the ability, you can fight a dozen and see if you die horizontally or vertically.

As a result, this scene has been very deserted.

Seeing that Shi Bud was almost drunk, Shi Tu and Shi Ji couldn't help coughing again and again.

Wang Lang knew that they were urging him to do it, so he gritted his teeth, stood up, took out a roll of cloth, and said to Shi Bao: "Lord, the emperor has an edict for you." ”

The half-conscious Shi Bud was stunned for a moment, raised his head and asked, "What is the edict?" ”

Wang Lang unfolded the cloth silk and read: "At the beginning of my succession to the great treasure, I was sincerely afraid and fearful, and I was afraid of losing the virtue of heaven, so I pushed the ministers to assist in order to do the right thing." Leping Wang Bao first emperor heavy, reputation for his talent, the town guarded the right for several years, the virtue was the people, Wei Shi remote, is really the important minister of Kuangfu. It is hereby decreed that he will return to the position of the Grand Sima of the Beijing Bank. β€œ

Hearing the end, Shi Bao finally understood, it turned out that Shi Zun had the idea of robbing himself to return to Yecheng. It seems that he is still too naΓ―ve, even if he doesn't fight Yecheng's idea, his brother will beat his idea. Go back, go back, there is nothing anyway, you still have to go to Yecheng.

Shi Bao let out a long sigh, took a long sip, drank a glass of wine, and then staggered to his feet and said loudly: "Let's go!" It's safe to go. ”

Seeing the five hundred elite horsemen of the forbidden army escorting dozens of people from the Shibao family to the east, Ma Qiu and Wang Lang stood silently in the dark for a long time.

"Qiusan, do you think we should go west?" Wang Lang saw that there was no other person around, and asked in a low voice by Ma Qiu's nickname.

"Going west is like entering a tiger's den in Longtan." Ma Qiu sighed and whispered.

"Why?" Wang Lang was taken aback.

"In mid-May, tens of thousands of Xiqiang cavalry entered the counties of Longxi and went on a rampage." Ma Qiu only said half of the words.

"Are you saying that the Jin army in Liangzhou has tens of thousands of Qiang horsemen?" Wang Lang suddenly understood. Cavalry is the trump card of Northern Zhao against the Jin army, and now the Jin army not only has tens of thousands of cavalry, but also is a very brave and warlike Xiqiang.

"It is said that there are 50,000 horses, although it is thousands of miles away from Longxi to Chang'an, but not to mention riding a horse for two months, even if you ride a donkey, you should also arrive!"

Wang Lang couldn't help but shudder when he heard this.

On the second day, Wang Lang wanted to return to Zhenheluo under the pretext of obeying Shi Zunmi's edict to prevent Jing Xianghuan Wen, so he sent Sima Duhong to act as a general of the chariot cavalry, leading Shi Tu, Shi Ji and 20,000 elite cavalry to continue westward, preparing to defeat the Jin army of Liangzhou in one fell swoop and recover Chang'an.
