The jade rabbit fell to the west, the golden crow rose in the east, at dawn, the soldiers in the military camp did not wait for the horn to sound, they got up from the tent one after another, and began to get ready to go, today everyone not only got up extraordinarily early, but also one by one the spirit of a hundred times, many people usually reluctant to wear the new robes have been put on, the armor is also wiped extraordinarily bright, and re-oiled, even the horses have been specially brushed again.

Today is the day of entering the eastern capital of Luoyang, most of the officers and soldiers in the army are the children of the mountain and wild civilians of the Yan Zhao generation, and in this era, Luoyang City is like a high paradise for them.

Even the big bull and Ma Liuduo around Xiao Yi were also excited, you know, the transportation in this era is extremely underdeveloped, and many people have never even been to a place hundreds of miles away from their hometown in their lives; They have lived in the town of Wohu Pavilion since they were children, and they probably never dreamed that they would be able to enter Luoyang City one day. If you tell them at this time that in a few months, not only this Luoyang City, but even the palace inside will let them enter and leave, I'm afraid these two will faint with excitement!

Luoyang City during the day and at night looks very different, the city gate is tall and heavy, and the turbulent Luoshui meanders around the city, forming a natural moat, with a suspension bridge on it, connected by an iron cable turntable, once pulled up, it is difficult for all troops to enter. The majestic city wall is full of black Han flags, which can not be seen at a glance, the top floor is high, and the arrow stacks are densely packed like a beehive, which makes people look at it coldly; What an impregnable Luoyang city!

"It's a pity! No matter how strong a fortress is, it is afraid that it will be breached from within! Looking at such a perfect city defense system in front of him, Xiao Yi sighed in his heart.

After entering the city, the soldiers were divided into two ways, and Zhang Yang, the Taishou guard, wanted to go to the pavilion specially prepared for officials entering Beijing to rest, and then patiently waited for the emperor's edict; However, the news I got from He Jin Mansion last night that Emperor Han Ling's condition was getting more and more serious, and it was estimated that it would be impossible to summon foreign ministers in a short time, and even the expected Luoyang Grand Parade was postponed.

During this time, Zhang Yang was ready to take the opportunity to make friends with courtiers, visit various gate lords, and try to win over more political allies, although Zhang Yang was ready to throw himself on the side of the general He Jin, but the struggle for power in the palace has always been unpredictable, and no one will put all the chips on it before achieving a decisive advantage.

Xiao Yi led his subordinates to temporarily camp in the Imperial Garden in the north of Luoyang City, quietly waiting for the development of the situation. Compared with the tens of thousands of garrisons around Luoyang City, these 3,000 people can be said to be an insignificant small force, but don't forget that although the arrow cluster is small, as long as it is shot at the vital point, it can also achieve the effect of killing the whole world with one arrow!

The ancient emperors, searching for summer seedlings in spring, hunting in autumn and winter: hunting in the suburbs at four o'clock to show their martial arts in the world.

In the north of Luoyang City, it is the Beibi Mountain that stretches for hundreds of miles, the mountains are prolific with birds and beasts, so the royal family specially opened up a piece of imperial garden with a radius of more than 50 miles here, it is the royal hunting ground in autumn and winter, and some city defense troops are stationed in peacetime, there are soldiers and horses to patrol every day, ordinary farmers and woodcutters are not able to enter at all; Because Emperor Ling of Han was greedy for pleasure all the year round, and his health was not good, he did not like to shoot and hunt, so over the years, all kinds of beasts in the imperial garden have been able to multiply, and the number has been very considerable.

Now it is the end of winter, and there is a scene of depression between heaven and earth; The woodland around the Imperial Garden is even more empty; Although it is a temporary station, Xiao Yi is not sloppy at all, and the selected place is surrounded by mountains and rivers and the terrain is open, which is very suitable for cavalry galloping.

After choosing the address, everyone quickly began to build the barracks, and the barracks were densely covered with flags, spears were planted all over, and the military tents everywhere were horns of each other, and they were set around each other; Not only were tall fences and wooden barriers erected around the camp, but a deep trench was specially dug in which the ditch was densely packed with inverted spikes, leaving only two tortuous roads at the entrance and exit for men and horses to pass; A tall watchtower was erected, and the archers on it were on standby for twelve hours. It can be said that under such a perfect defense system, there is no more than five times the number of troops to surround the camp set up by Xiao Yi, and if you want to conquer it, you need to invest at least ten times more troops to make it possible.

After all the arrangements were ready, Da Niu and Ma Liu suddenly walked into Xiao Yi's big tent together, looking at the two of them nervous, looking like they wanted to speak and stopped, and then leaned their ears to listen, the footsteps outside the tent were dense, and there were obviously a large number of people walking around......

After a little thought, Xiao Yi smiled, and Xiao Yi immediately understood, as the so-called: "The way of military training, one by one, in addition to serious military discipline, it is also necessary to properly let the soldiers relax their spirits." ”

Thinking of this, he glanced at the red-faced ox and the horse again, and Xiao Yi opened his mouth to give an order: "I know that everyone will be dazzled as soon as they enter the city, so let's let the brothers change into civilian clothes and take turns to go into the city to play, but we have to have three chapters of the law;

First, it is forbidden to carry any blades out of the camp.

Second, it is forbidden to cause trouble in the city.

Third, it is not allowed to go home at night.

Violators, behead! ”

"No! ……”

The two of them hurriedly saluted and agreed loudly; Xiao Yi usually governs the army very strictly, and his subordinates love and respect him, so everyone pushes the ox and the horse to ask for his life, and they all know that they are Xiao Yi's fellow villagers, but they didn't expect to get the military order to go out so smoothly, and the two immediately ran outside with joy, and soon, the cheers of many sergeants sounded outside the tent......

"Be crazy and arrogant, take advantage of your youth!" Xiao Yi listened to the cheers outside, and couldn't help but feel a move in his heart, "I was originally a seventeen-year-old boy, but I was forced by life and fate to become old and serious, but I don't know how much youthful happiness I should have lost because ......of this; Now that you have arrived in Luoyang City, a gentle and wealthy place, wouldn't it be a pity not to have a visit? ”

After Xiao Yi made up his mind, he immediately took off his armor and changed into a black robe, and then took the stunned Niu and Ma to stride towards Luoyang City together, at this moment, the sunny little Taoist priest seemed to be back again......

Walking into the city, I saw that the residential areas were orderly and extremely symmetrically distributed; On the wide and straight streets, the shops are like clouds, the pedestrians are like rain, and the cries of the merchants come and go, and every thing here can be called a work of art to future generations; Xiao Yi, a traverser who had visited countless shopping malls, was dazzled, and soon the three of them were covered with various things, large and small......

In the distance, the royal palace on the high ground is majestic and magnificent; In the east, the reading sound of Taixue spreads loudly, and in the west, the morning bell and dusk drum of the White Horse Temple are thought-provoking; Standing here, a thick, vicissitudes of history immediately comes to the face, which is by no means comparable to those modern cities full of reinforced concrete and automobile exhaust in later generations. Thinking that the prosperous capital in front of him would soon be destroyed by the war, Xiao Yi also felt a burst of heartache, "If possible, let's try our best to preserve this city that I don't know how much manpower and effort was spent on building......

How to find the most prosperous and fun places in a strange city?

The answer is simple, just go to the place where the traffic is highest; Sure enough, the three of them followed the crowd to the door of a large building; The upper and lower three-storey buildings are not inferior to the smaller palaces, and there is a wide plaque at the door, with three gilded seal characters written on it--- "Tianji Building!" ”

You don't need to go in, just look at the decoration outside, and the elegant temperament of the guests who enter and exit from the door, and you know that this is not an ordinary place; "There is a great deal of talk and laughter; There is no vain coming! ”

"In Xia Yuyang-Xiao Yi, dare to ask this gentleman's honorable name, where is this place?" casually stopped a green-shirted scribe who was about to enter, Xiao Yi politely stepped forward and saluted, and began to inquire about the news, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent in order to win a hundred battles, intelligence is important at all times.

"In Xia Jianggan, Jiujiang people's clan; It's the first time you've come to Luoyang, right? The green-shirted scribe first reported his name very respectfully, and then said with a look of affirmation.

"Jiujiang Jiang Gan? OMG! Luoyang is really a treasure of feng shui, I didn't expect to be a big celebrity on the street, "Looking at the twenty-six or seventeen-year-old handsome scribe in front of him, Xiao Yi couldn't help but secretly think: "The novel 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms' is really unbelievable, how can such a handsome scribe be portrayed as a nerd with a roe deer......"

The official history of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" describes that Jiang Gan - "has good looks, is known for his talent and argument, and is alone between the Jiang and Huai, and is not right". As for Jiang Gan during the Battle of Chibi, although he was repeatedly toyed with, after Zhou Yu 'pulled the book and cut the envoy', he dared to cross the river alone twice in a light boat to reconnoiter the enemy's situation, and he was also a man of great courage. And Xiao Yat has always been very respectful of the brave.

"Oh? Where did the gentleman come from? ”

"I don't even know the famous 'Tianji Tower', it's not the first time I've come to Luoyang!"

Unexpectedly, he was despised for asking for directions, looking at Jiang Gan's expression as if he didn't know the three words 'Tianji Tower', which was an unforgivable sin, Xiao Yi's face was suddenly full of black lines.

However, from Jiang Gan's mouth, he got an extremely detailed information, it turned out that this 'Tianji Building' was the first-class gold cave in Luoyang City, which contained wine and food, singing and dancing, entertainment, chess and gambling...... It can be said that there is everything, there is only what you can't think of here, and there is almost nothing you can't play; As for the owner behind the 'Tianji Tower', no one knows, but it is certainly not an ordinary person who can build such a luxurious restaurant in this area.

And the 'Tianji Tower' is also very picky about the guests to entertain, in addition to the dignitaries and dignitaries, most of the people who can come here are some talents who have never met all kinds of talents here, make friends, communicate all kinds of information, and wait for the opportunity to go out; At the same time, there are also a large number of wealthy families who will stay here for a long time, specifically looking for those particularly outstanding talents, and collecting them for their own use; It is said that the competition behind the scenes is still fierce......

There are almost no ordinary people here, and even many ministers and ministers will come here in plain clothes to sit here in their spare time and discuss some things that cannot be said in the court......

"Since a few of you are here for the first time, let's go in with you, and you can also explain a few ...... or two" I didn't expect Jiang Gan to be a warm-hearted person, and looking at his familiar appearance, it was obvious that he had come here to look for opportunities before.

"In this way, it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate!" After thanking them, Xiao Yi and the three of them followed Jiang Gan and strode towards the 'Tianji Tower' together, "I didn't expect this to be a talent exchange center in the Eastern Han Dynasty, interesting!" Interesting ......"
