Therefore, since ancient times, there have been eight dynasties such as Xia, Shang, Eastern Zhou, Eastern Han, Cao Wei, Western Jin, Northern Wei and Sui.

Heyang Dingdingdi, located in the Central Plains and should be in the Quartet, Luoyang is the world's traffic stronghold, military fortress. After Yang Guang ascended the throne, he chose another capital site in Luoyang and established a new capital.

The new imperial city is located between the Zhou Wangcheng and the ancient city of the Han and Wei dynasties, the east is over the Qianshui, the south crosses the Luo River, the west is adjacent to the Jianhe River, the north is by the mountain, the city circumference is more than 50 miles, magnificent and magnificent.

Yang Guang took Luoyang as the center, dug out a grand canal that reaches Hangzhou in the south, reaches Zhuojun in the north, and runs through the north and south, connecting the five major water systems of the Haihe River, the Yellow River, the Huai River, the Yangtze River and the Qiantang River, so that Luoyang has become the central hub of transportation and commerce in the world.

On this day, the city gates were opened, and a large number of merchants waiting to enter the city for trading and fishing, and the peasants rushing to the morning market entered the city.

Ba Fenghan and Shi Fan, who were wearing masks, mingled in the crowd, swaggering and calmly entering the city through the south gate.

The first time the two met was at the Wang Tong's birthday banquet in Luoyang, the eastern capital. The scale of Luoyang is not better than the general small city, only the south city gate will open three gates, the city gate in the middle is named Jianguo Gate, the left is the White Tiger Gate, the right is the Changxia Gate, the model system is magnificent.

I saw the "Heavenly Street", a street with a width of 100 steps and a run through the north and south gates, which stretched straight in front of me, and I was afraid that it would not be seven or eight miles long.

The street is full of cherry, pomegranate, elm, willow and other kinds of trees, in the middle for the emperor to go out on the royal road, at the turn of spring and summer, peach and willow green, the scenery is picturesque, beautiful.

There are many shops on both sides of the avenue, and between the lanes, each has its own road, and the vertical and horizontal ten streets that run through the major city gates are staggered, and it is orderly.

Ba Feng said with a cold smile: "Luoyang has two major characteristics, you must know. Shi Fan didn't know about this, and couldn't help but listen to Ba Fenghan's introduction with great interest, "Brother Ba, although you are of a different race, you are a Chinese expert......

Ba Fenghan smiled and said, "A certain family has admired Middle-earth since childhood, and naturally has dabbled in the history and culture of Middle-earth. Speaking of these two major characteristics, the first is to take the north and south as the central axis, let Luoshui traverse the city, divide Luoyang into two districts in the north and south, and connect it with four bridges, and Luoshui in the city is connected with other Yi, Qian, and Jian three rivers in the city, so that the river in the city lingers, and the beauty of the landscape is moved to the city, giving people a sense of heaven and earth. ”

At this moment, a strange scene suddenly appeared ahead, a sailboat sailed past the Luoshui hidden under the house, and from their point of view, only the top of the sail moved, as if it were a land boat.

Shi Fan said happily: "I am used to seeing the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is not unusual to draw the water of the rivers and lakes through the city, but it is rare to have a wide and deep straight like Luoshui, which makes Luoyang have a strict and harmonious atmosphere, and the scale of this city is certainly not comparable to that of water towns." What's the other feature?"

At this time, the sky is white, and there are more and more people and cars on the street. From time to time, there are a team of guards with bright armor on the royal road, doing morning drills, so that this beautiful imperial city adds a deep and strict momentum.

Ba Fenghan continued: "Another feature is that outside the west wall of Waiguo City, because of its natural environment, the West Garden, west to Xin'an, north to Pishan, south to Yique Mountains, more than 200 miles around, comparable to the Shanglin Garden of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in ancient times, Waiguo City and Xiyuan are connected together, making Luoyang more large-scale. ”

The two walked along the street as they spoke, arriving at the south bank of Luoshui.

Ba Fenghan pointed to the bridge that spans Luoshui and connects the north and south: "This is called Xinzhong Bridge, just looking at the scale of this bridge, it specifically and slightly illustrates how Yang Guang worked hard and lost money back then. It is said that in order to make Luoyang the capital, the faint king moved tens of thousands of wealthy merchants from all over the country, and placed more than 3,000 craft households in Henan to live in the 12 squares on the south bank of the Luohe River in the southeast corner of Guocheng, so there is this atmosphere in front of him. ”

He lowered his voice and said: "This is called a bad heart to do good deeds, no matter who gets the world in the future, they will enjoy the fruits of Yang Guang's construction, as long as the governance is a little lawful, the prosperity can be expected." ”

Shi Fan was greatly surprised when he heard this, although Ba Fenghan specializes in martial arts, but his views on the current situation are extremely insightful and different, at this time when everyone is making up Yang Guang is not, he can point out that Yang Guang's construction of the capital and the construction of the river is really of great benefit to future generations. This kind of view has actually surpassed most people in this world! You must know that it is Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, who at first simply thought that Yang Guang was a faint king!

Ba Feng smiled coldly: "We should find a place to heal the stomach." Shi Fan smiled.

......

Yanshi City is located on the north bank of Luoshui, the south of the big river, the north of the mountains such as Songgao and Shaomu, the upstream is Luoyang, and the downstream is a tiger prison for a hundred miles, which is a strategic fortress to protect Luoyang, and it is also the front-line base of Wang Shichong's rejection of Li Mi in the east.

If Yanshi falls, it will directly shake the stability of Luoyang.

Yanshi is in Luoyang, and the tiger is in Xingyang.

Now that Wang Shichong led his troops to Yanshi, he immediately directly threatened the survival of the Tiger Prison, so Li Mi must react, either defend or attack, and must not be careless.

Surrounded by more than a dozen loyal and reliable generals and famous masters, Wang Shichong, the overlord of Luoyang, boarded the warship moored at the wharf outside the city, accompanied by 2,000 guards, and many warships.

After Wang Shichong got on the boat, he suddenly said with a smile: "General Kou, what is your best strategy for facing the situation at this time?" There was a burst of laughter on the deck, and it was Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling!

These two people threw Jingling to Li Jing, Xu Xingzhi and others, and went all the way north to Luoyang, using the connections at Wang Tong's birthday banquet last time, but they went online with Wang Shichong.

Kou Zhong naturally knew that at this time, it was because Li Mi was powerful and Wang Shichong asked for himself, so he pretended to be a corporal of Lixian, but he didn't care, they all used each other and knew each other.

Kou Zhong pulled Wang Shichong to the stern of the boat, pointed to Luo Shui and said, "We must make some illusions to convince Li Mi that we have the determination to send troops to the Tiger Prison. ”

Wang Shichong frowned and said, "Isn't it enough for me to garrison heavy troops in Yanshi?" Kou Zhong said: "That can also be regarded as strengthening the defense, and it can't give the enemy the opportunity to set fire to the grain." I have just studied the geographical situation map given to me by Shangshu, Hugao and Xingyang are both located in the south of Luoshui and the big river, if Shangshu set up pontoon bridges on both sides of the river on both sides of the east Luoshui of this city, it is not too much to build two or three, and then set up a granary on the south bank to build a military camp, this kind of high posture is more revealing than any army movement, and it also saves Li Mi from the pain of attacking the city. Hah! How's that?"

Wang Shichong looked at him in a daze for a while, and then sighed: "Such a clever plan, how can I refuse?" )
