Wang Gang was interested when he heard this, he only knew that Luoyang had Tiger Prison Pass, Hangu Pass, and Tongguan in front of him, as for the Luoyang Eight Passes, he had also heard of them, but he didn't know which Eight Passes.

"Mr. Jia, the eight levels of Luoyang are all eight levels," Wang Gang asked again.

Jia Xu was speechless for a while, why does this kid like the pass so much, come on, just say the eight passes at once, and save you from asking one by one.

"Luoyang Eight Passes, in addition to the Hangu Pass and Tongguan in the west, rely on the big river in the north, and Mengjin Pass and Pingjin Pass. There is a slosh gate pass on the east side, and there is also a revolving gate pass on the edge, which is also called the water pass. To the south to the foot of Songshan Mountain is the famous Tiger Prison Pass. There are a total of four passes in the south of Luoyang City. They are Xuanyuan Pass, Dagu Pass, and Yique Pass," Jia Xu looked at Wang Gang with a smile after speaking.

Wang Gang listened carefully, counted it again, and asked.

"Mr. Jia is still one level less, and this is only seven levels," Wang Gang asked.

"There is also a pass is Guangcheng Pass, at the foot of Kongtong Mountain in Runan County, more than 300 miles away from Luoyang, it has been in disrepair for a long time and I don't know if it is still there, I just saw it in the book, but I didn't see it with my own eyes," Jia Xu said.

It seems that Luoyang is really a treasure land of feng shui, surrounded by mountains and backed by big rivers. The Bishui River is interspersed with it, watering thousands of acres of fertile land.

"When you have time, you must go through it and see these eight wonders," Wang Gang said.

When the group came to the pass, the soldiers on the city wall also walked down, and looked at the soldiers behind Wang Gang, and they were all on guard. A lieutenant spoke.

"Gyeonggi important land, no entry without an order"

Wang Gang stepped forward and spoke.

"I am Captain Zuo Wang Gang, I was ordered to lead the troops into Beijing, close whoever you want, and open the door quickly"

When the lieutenant guarding the pass heard that it was the newly appointed lieutenant Zuo who had come to reinstate, he didn't dare to slack off and spoke.

"I am a hussar general under Li Yu, since I am a captain of the left, I can have customs clearance documents," Li Yu finished and put down a hanging basket.

Wang Gang motioned for Chu Yu to put the customs clearance paperwork into the hanging basket, then looked at Jia Xu and asked.

"Mr. Jia, Tongguan is the general of the hussar general He Miao, will it embarrass us?"

"How did Captain Wang know that it was the hussar general He Miaobu," Jia Xu asked puzzled.

Wang Gang glanced at Jia Xu with some confusion and said.

"Mr. Jia didn't hear it, the captain said that it was Li Yu under the hussar general's account."

Jia Xu laughed after hearing this, and said.

"Captain Wang's hussar general is not He Miao, but the nephew of the Empress Dowager Dong, the hussar general Dong Chong. It's just that his hussar general doesn't have any soldiers and horses."

"Dong Chong," Wang Gang asked after thinking for a while.

"What does it have to do with Dong Zhuo?"

Jia Xu was also stunned by Wang Gang's question.

"Dong Zhuo was born in Xiliang Haoqiang, and Empress Dowager Dong is from Hejian. Married to Liu Chang, the Marquis of the Jiedu Pavilion, as his wife. The students didn't hear about their relationship. In recent years, it has been rumored that Empress Dowager Dong intends to win over Dong Zhuo, but Dong Zhuo is not very tempted"

Jia Xu paused for a moment and continued.

"Empress Dowager Dong doesn't have much identity background, and she doesn't have the support of the family. A few years ago, he named Dong Zhong, the younger brother of the Empress Dowager Dong, as the ruling Jinwu, and was later imprisoned and killed. Last year, in order to support the Dong family to compete with the He family, His Majesty made his son Dong Zhong a hussar general."

Wang Gang was also slightly stunned after hearing this, this general is ruthless enough, even the emperor's uncle dares to kill.

"Now the Dong family is already in decline, and there is only one hussar general," Jia Xu said again.

Sure enough, after a while, the door closed and opened. Wang Gang led everyone into the gate.

Tongguan is four zhang high and three zhang wide. There are two city gates, large and small, which are more majestic than Yanmen Pass, but the city wall has not been repaired for too long, and the soldiers on the city wall are also uneven. Some of them are already full of gray hair, and I am afraid that they can no longer hold even their spears. There were less than a hundred people, and Wang Gang believed that if he wanted to attack, he could take it as long as he had thirty vine armor soldiers.

The lieutenant named Li Yu also went down to the city to greet him, looked at Wang Gang and saluted, and spoke.

"The last general was ordered to guard Tongguan, and he neglected Captain Zuo, and asked Captain Zuo to have a large number"

"Captain Li did what he was ordered to do, and he did not slack off. The holy order is in the body, and it is inconvenient to stay for a long time, so I will take my leave first. ”

After Wang Gang finished speaking, he left Tongguan with a group of people, Wang Gang looked back again, the majestic Tongguan stood at the foot of Beibi Mountain, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on it, reflecting a layer of faint golden light.

The group walked two more miles and finally saw the outline of a city wall.

Wang Gang settled his soldiers at the foot of Beibi Mountain, which was the imperial tomb of the Han family, and there was an army guarding the imperial tomb. It was Commander Wang Kuang, a lieutenant of the Northern Military Academy. Originally, there were 2,000 people, but now there are only a few hundred, and Wang Gang took out the holy decree. For the time being, a small camp was borrowed to house the thousand pikemen.

Wait until Wang Gang took Jia Xu and Chu Yu to the city gate and looked at the majestic Luoyang City.

Wang Gang looked at the ancient capital of the Thirteen Dynasties in later generations, with a thick city wall, more than ten zhang high. The pedestrians on the street are endless, and there is no sign of the decay of the Han family.

Walking on the official road paved with cyan stone slabs, looking at the teahouses and inns lined on both sides. Looking into the distance, you can vaguely see the dark shadow of the palace, hidden in the afterglow of the setting sun. Wang Gang couldn't help but think of Sima Guang's Luoyang, and whispered.

Luoyang is the most prosperous in spring, with 100,000 homes in the shade of red and green.

Who is like a group of flowers, people will be splendid and learn from the flowers.

Jia Xu next to him smiled when he heard it, he didn't expect this Wang Xiaowei to be able to read poetry, but this kind of broken sentence was not very popular in the Han Dynasty.

The three of them walked around Luoyang, found an inn in Xishi, and settled down temporarily.

Luoyang City is divided into four urban districts, east, west, north and south, Wang Gang and they came in from the upper west gate in the west, and it is not easy to go to Dongcheng District. Luoyang Dongcheng District is generally inhabited by wealthy families, and Beicheng District is the imperial palace, and there are some royal nobles living next to it. Nancheng District is some merchants, because it is close to Luoshui, which is convenient for transportation. As for Xicheng District, it is mixed, with three religions and nine streams. There were also a number of foreign traders mixed in.

After half a month of marching, Wang Gang was really tired, and he entered his dream early.

When he woke up on the second day, Wang Gang freshened up and dressed up, prepared to enter the palace to face the saint, and told Jia Xu his thoughts. Jia Xu pondered for a while and said.

"It's not so easy to meet His Majesty, it's better to wait for the holy decree to enter the palace again"

"Then what are we going to do here and wait?" asked Wang Gang.

"Captain Wang underestimated Luoyang City too much, I believe that most of the families know the news of our entry into Beijing, not to mention Your Majesty" Jia Xu said with a slight smile.

"No, we've only been in Luoyang for a day," Wang Gang said with some disbelief.

"We'll find out later," Jia Xu smiled mysteriously, closing his eyes and recuperating.

Sure enough, in less than a cup of tea, the shopkeeper walked in with a middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man saw Wang Gang salute and said.

"The villain is Dong Zhong, the housekeeper of the Hussar General's Mansion, and he sent some gifts to Captain Wang who came from afar."

"The hussar general is polite, no merit, thank the hussar general for me" Wang Gang didn't figure out what was going on, and he didn't dare to accept the gift rashly.
