Chapter Seventy-Six: The Ancient Capital of a Thousand Years
Luoyang is located on the south bank of the Yellow River, Ping Pi Mountain in the north, Luoshui in the south, Huhu Prison in the east, Yinghan Valley in the west, surrounded by mountains, Luoyang Plain in the middle, Yi, Luo, Qian, Jian four rivers flow through it, it is not only the situation is dangerous, but also the scenery is beautiful, the soil is fertile, the climate is moderate, and the transportation is convenient.
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.
The so-called Heyang Dingdingdi, located in the Central Plains and corresponding to 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, and 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.
To outsiders, Luoyang can be regarded as a tiger's den in Longtan. But Liu Ruoshui can be said to be a master of art at this time, and at this time, he is only worried that he has few people, and he will definitely not worry about many enemies. Therefore, he did not make the slightest disguise at all, and swaggered calmly into the city through the south gate.
Of course, it is precisely because of this that Liu Ruoshui and the "escape trio" were separated, and the three of them did not dare to swagger like Liu Ruoshui. What's more, they still had some troubles to solve at this time, so after the four of them arrived at Yanshi City, which was located on the north bank of Luoshui, they separated.
Speaking of which. The three of them must thank Liu Ruoshui. You must know that the three of them were originally facing Li Mi's pursuit. There is no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the ground almost by Li Mi's pursuers. If it weren't for Liu Ruoshui, whom the three of them met. Then ......
You'll have to run away for a while longer to reach Yanshi City. Although Li Mi did lay a net, it is estimated that he can still escape with the "expert" level of Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling.
Of course, the reason why Li Mi stopped was not because he was afraid of Liu Ruoshui, but because he really couldn't figure out Liu Ruoshui's bottom line and was not sure to take Liu Ruoshui.
Since he was not sure, Li Mi would not do it. Because his most powerful thing lies in his "forbearance". Those who really understand Li Mifa's family history will know that the biggest advantage of this entry is the word "forbearance"!
The leader of the Wagang Army was originally not Li Mi, but the "big leader" Zhai Rang, Li Mi was only the number one general under Zhai Rang, and later fought in the east and west, winning again and again. After the merit is high, it is only then that there is rebellion.
Li Mi obviously injured Zhai Rang back then, but because he couldn't figure out his injury, he endured it all the time. endured until Zhai Rang revealed his hole cards, and then launched an offensive, and in one fell swoop, Zhai Rang stepped off the throne of the big dragon head. Fill somebody's shoes.
If Li Mi postponed his rebellion, Zhai Rang would have already made up his mind. Even if the vitality is greatly damaged, Li Mi must be removed. If Li Mi defects prematurely, even if he can win a complete victory, because Zhai Rang's prestige is still there, and the relationship with the leaders of the various factions of the Wagang army is deep-rooted, it will definitely split the Wagang army, and the victory will be a disastrous victory.
After getting the military power, Li Mi once again showed his ability to forbear, waved his army to smash Guanzhong, and occupied the great opportunity of the western capital in front of him. But after Li Mi scruples to enter the customs, Zhai Rang's loyal old troops will establish themselves as kings, and if they don't listen to his command, they abandon their immediate interests, stick to Henan, and replace all the leading soldiers of the Wagang Army with their subordinates who are loyal to themselves, and then send troops again.
With such a long-term vision, Dou Jiande is not as good as Dou Jiande, Du Fuwei is not as good as Du Fuwei, Wang Shichong is not as good as Li Yuan, and even Li Shimin does not necessarily have Li Mi's tolerance and overall view! It is precisely for this reason that Liu Ruoshui's coming to Luoyang at this time also helps Wang Shichong's mind to kick Li Mi out of the game. Liu Ruoshui's jealousy of Li Mi is second only to that Tang Taizong, who was the first emperor of the ages.
It's a pity that sometimes if you endure too much, you will become a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, and it will also become the biggest flaw! If Liu Ruoshui faces this situation, no matter how many reasons there are, no matter what the consequences will be, even if he wants to poke out a basket, he will carry out the pursuit to the end.
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.
As soon as he entered the city gate, Liu Ruoshui, who had just arrived in your realm, suddenly opened his eyes.
Although Xiangyang and Nanyang are both large counties, if they are compared with Xiangyang, there is still a gap.
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.
Although Liu Ruoshui knew that He's Bi was located in the Jingnian Zen Temple, he also knew that there were no other masters in the Jingnian Zen Temple at this time, except for the empty monk, if Liu Ruoshui immediately went to the Jingnian Zen Temple to seize the treasure, I am afraid that he would be nine out of ten.
However, Liu Ruoshui knew that the curtain on Luoyang had not been completely opened, and if he entered at this moment, it would be too early. At least, he himself found an excuse for himself first, an excuse that was barely reasonable even if it was unreasonable.
After all, Liu Ruoshui wants to get He's Bi, in addition to wanting to get He's Bi itself, and use the cosmic energy contained in it to wash his bones and marrow. He also valued the prestige that the Heshi Bi represented.
Prestige, although you can't see or touch it, is a real killer at some point.
You must know that the road to hegemony has never been a smooth road.
Not only is the future unpredictable, rugged and difficult, but there is also the disaster of being broken at any time. The most troublesome thing is that there are many wrong paths, and if you are not careful, you will miss the opportunity to reach the goal.
Timing is crucial.
Li Shimin is the person who knows how to grasp the opportunity best, and he saw the opportunity, forcing him to rebel, raise troops in Taiyuan, and take advantage of the time when the elite soldiers in Guanzhong went west to deal with Li Mi, crossed the river into the pass, and won the strong solid point of the western capital Chang'an.
Although because of his foresight, Liu Ruoshui's timing was also seamless, but in just a few months, he became the largest prince in the south.
However, due to the inherent disadvantages of the south, although Liu Ruoshui's chances of seizing the world are greater than Li Shimin's, they are not decisive.
If you want to turn an advantage into a decisive advantage, then Heshibi will undoubtedly be the most important weight.
Under this premise, Liu Ruoshui became very patient, patiently waiting for the opportunity to justifiably seize He's Bi.
What's more, Liu Ruoshui knew that this opportunity did not make him wait. He only had to be on board for two days, and someone would personally deliver the opportunity to him. (To be continued.) )
