Ten miles outside Luoyang, tens of thousands of troops were encamped, stretching for several miles. Except for the 100,000 troops brought by Huangfu Song and a large army still stationed in Chenliu, almost all other armies are here now.

Kyoto is such a powerful place that it is naturally impossible for so many troops to flood into it all at once. Therefore, all the armies were stationed outside the city, and the generals of each army were preparing to wait for the summons from Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty.

Of course, after all, they are all meritorious officials, and the court will naturally not let them go and let these generals stay in the military camp for a day. There were already officials in the DPRK who were specifically responsible for receiving these meritorious generals, and arranged for them to stay in a post station.

Of course, people like Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Cao Cao, etc. naturally don't have to squeeze in the inn like Liu Bei, Sun Jian, etc. As soon as they enter the capital, these people go home.

The Han city of Luoyang was the political, economic, and cultural center of the country and the largest city in the country. Industry and commerce were extremely prosperous.

Luoyang City covers an area of ​​seven miles from east to west and nine miles from north to south. There are more than 11,219 palaces, temples, palaces and temples in the city.

Regarding the layout of Luoyang City in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Ban Gu described it in "Dongdu Fu" as follows:

"Added the old Zhou Dynasty, repaired the city of Luo. The fan was towering, showing its wings. The light of the capital of Han Dynasty was in all Xia, and it spread to all directions. So within the imperial city, the palaces were bright, and the palaces were beautiful. Extravagance cannot be exceeded, and frugality cannot be extravagant. Outside Therefore, the wilderness is used as a garden, and the flowing springs are filled in to become a swamp. The algae are grown to hide fish, and the grass in the garden is used to trap animals. The system is the same as that of Liang Zou, and the friendship is in line with the spirit."

In Luoyang City, some ancient Chinese myths such as Emperor Ku, Tang Yao, Yu Shun, Xia Yu, etc. are mostly passed down here.

Emperor Ku's capital was Bo Yi, Xia Taikang moved his capital to Zou, Shang Tang made Xi Bo; King Wu conquered Zhou, and eight hundred princes gathered in Mengjin; Zhou Gong assisted the government and moved Jiuding to Luoyi. King Ping moved eastward, Gaozu Duluo, Guangwu Zhongxing, Wei and Jin Xiangchan, Xiaowen restructured, the Sui and Tang Dynasties flourished, and the Later Liang, Tang and Jin Dynasties followed each other, creating a total of thirteen dynasties.

Luoyang has been regarded by the Chinese ancestors as "the most beautiful place in the world" since ancient times. As soon as King Wu of Zhou Dynasty settled in the country, he "moved his residence to Chengzhou and settled in China"; after the Han and Wei dynasties, Luoyang gradually became a metropolis, "paying tribute from all directions, even in all directions". Luoyang has made outstanding contributions in ethnic integration and Sino-foreign exchanges and has been glorious for thousands of years. .

"The residence of Emperor Weihan, the Kingdom of Heluo", Luoyang was once the political, economic and cultural center of China for a long period of time in history, and was also a transportation hub with roads extending in all directions. In the early Western Zhou Dynasty, the first large-scale highway network was established in China, with Luoyang as its center. The Chidaoyi Road was as straight as an arrow and reached everywhere; in the first year of the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty established the Eastern Capital in Luoyang and ordered the construction of a large highway network. The canal has thus formed a north-south water transport network with Luoyang as the center and radiating to the northeast and southeast with a total length of more than 2,000 kilometers; during the Eastern Han Dynasty, the "Silk Road" starting from Luoyang could run straight to the east coast of the Mediterranean Sea, and the Ming Dynasty camels and horses, There was an endless stream.

Luoyang is a reading book of Chinese culture. Historical research shows that civilization first sprouted here, Taoism originated here, Confucianism originated here, Confucian classics flourished here, Buddhism was first spread here, metaphysics was formed here, and Neo-Confucianism originated here. There are many saints and talents gathered here. Is Luoyang still the main root of the surname and the root of Hakka?

Luoyang represents the earliest China, the most authentic China, and the deepest China. Luoyang City is surrounded by Mang Mountain to the north, Yique to the south, the Luoshui River running through it, Hulao Pass to the east, and Hangu Pass to the west. It is surrounded by mountains and lined with majestic passes, so it has the "Eight Pass City" and the "Mountain and River Gongdao". ", the situation is the best in the world"; and it occupies the "among the world", "pressing the Jianghuai River in the east, holding Guanlong in the west, connecting Youyan in the north, and Jingxiang in the south". It is known as "the convergence of all directions", "the hinterland of Kyushu", "The thoroughfare of ten provinces". Therefore, in all dynasties, it has been a battleground for the emperors in the Central Plains, where the princes and heroes compete for the throne.

At this time, Li Xiang was riding his horse slowly on the streets of Luoyang. A few steps ahead of him was Wang Ting, who was responsible for guiding the way.

Wang Ting is the steward of Wang Yun's house. Among them, he is the only one who is familiar with Luoyang, so Li Xiang asked him to be his guide and lead the way.

With the relationship between the Wang and Li families, after Li Xiang came to Luoyang, he naturally had to visit Wang Yun first. However, as soon as Li Xiang entered the city gate, he met Wang Ting who followed Wang Yun's order and came to greet Li Xiang.

Behind Li Xiang are Xing Tian and the fifty personal guards he selected. These fifty personal guards are all warriors in the army. In single combat, their combat power is not inferior to that of the soldiers trapped in the camp.

Li Xiang rode his horse forward while observing the imperial capital carefully. The towering city walls and the wide main road are so clear that it gives people a sense of heroism.

The war did not seem to have much impact on this ancient capital. At least for now, it is still prosperous. The streets are bustling with traffic, and from time to time, groups of soldiers patrolling the city can be seen passing through the streets.

From time to time, there will be young people from rich families, in twos and threes, in groups, heading towards restaurants or brothels.

However, I wonder what will happen to this great imperial capital if Dong Zhuo's rebellion really happens again in the future?

"My nephew pays homage to the uncle." In Wang Yun's mansion, Li Xiang respectfully bowed to Wang Situ as a junior.

I saw that this Wang Situ had a long beard, kind eyebrows, bright eyes, and high energy. Wearing a gray patterned silk robe, he looked like a Confucian scholar.

"My nephew, you are so polite. The last time you and I met, you were probably still a young child. Now, more than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye." Wang Yun laughed.

What Wang Yun said is true. Li Xiang's uncle Li Ming's wife is a direct descendant of the Wang family in Taiyuan, and Wang Yun is a close brother and sister.

Therefore, when Wang Yun was young, he often came to Li's house and naturally saw Li Xiang often, but the Li Xiang at that time was not the current Li Xiang after time travel.

"System, detect Wang Yun's fourth dimension." Li Xiang said secretly.

Li Xiang now wants to know what the capabilities of this person who can single-handedly use a honey trap to get rid of Dong Zhuo are.

"Ding, Wang Yun, commander 52, force 49, intelligence 89, politics 88."

After watching Wang Yun's Four Dimensions, Li Xiang sighed silently. This was a bit different from what he had originally guessed. None of Wang Yun's four dimensions exceeded 90. It seems that the reason why Wang Yun was able to get rid of Dong Zhuo was because Dong Zhuo was too severely negatively affected by his own Demon King skills.

Of course, it is not ruled out that Wang Yun has a skill that is powerful enough to support Wang Yun in plotting against Dong Zhuo.

When Li Xiang was tired from traveling, Wang Yun naturally did not bother Li Xiang for too long. He simply gave Li Xiang some instructions about what he needed to pay attention to during his pilgrimage tomorrow, and Wang Yun directly arranged for Li Xiang to go first. Went down to rest.
