Chapter 309 Luoyang, the eastern capital
Emperor Cuihan's residence, Heluo Kingdom.
Luoyang was known as Luoyang in ancient times, located in Zhongzhou, and was named because it was located in the Yang of Luohe.
Since ancient times, it has been a battleground for soldiers, surrounded by Funiu Mountain, Bear's Ear Mountain, Pi Mountain, and Songji Mountain. Vertex M. update the fastest east, west, north and south, each with Tiger Pass, Hangu Pass, Yique Pass, Yiguan Pass, Yiguan Pass, the ancient city of the country of four stops.
It used to be the political, economic and cultural center of China, with roads extending in all directions, and it was an important hub of the Grand Canal from Zhuojun to Hangzhou.
In the Tang Dynasty, the ancestors divided the world, and Luoyang belonged to Dugi Province and was called the Eastern Capital.
On behalf of the emperor, go to Mount Tai to seal Zen, often settle down with this.
There are also individual emperors, far away from Chang'an, who come to Luoyang in person, build palaces in Luoyang, live here for a long time, and deal with court affairs.
The Yuwen family, since the Northern Zhou Dynasty, was replaced by Yang Jian, the imperial court killed the ancestors of the Yuwen family, in order to escape the killing, the ancestors of the Yuwen family, to avoid trouble, brought their families to Luoyang.
Over the years, the Yuwen family has been the heirs of the generations, more business in Luoyang, the emperor is virtuous, and when it is strong, the Yuwen family is under the imperial power, bowing down to the ministers, loyal to the royal family, like dry grass in the wind, all crawling on the ground, not daring to look up.
However, when the emperor was mediocre and weak and incompetent, the Yuwen family was like a strong grass in the wind, letting the wind howl, and still never succumbed like the royal family.
The dynasty changed hands, the emperor changed, the Yuwen family judged the situation, according to whether the emperor was wise or not, adopted a strategy of active expansion and self-preservation, and multiplied in Luoyang for hundreds of years.
Nowadays, the status of the Yuwen clan in Luoyang has long been changed from the previous fleeing refugees to the domination of Luoyang.
For the Yuwen family, the imperial court did not let it go, and in the dark years of the imperial government, the imperial court promulgated many policies, which could be implemented smoothly in various provinces, only Luoyang, water and fire did not enter!
However, the virtuous monarch of the Ran Dynasty spent more effort and tried every possible way to eradicate the Yuwen family, but unfortunately, the Yuwen family is one of the four major generals, and the hands are heavy and the roots are deep, and it is extremely difficult to completely eradicate them, and it is even more difficult to uproot them.
What's more, the Yuwen family has the eldest son who entered Beijing as an official, and the second son runs the tradition of Luoyang, one inside and one outside, taking care of each other, so the acting king regards the Yuwen family as a thorn in the flesh in the eye, and when it is difficult to eradicate, he often adopts a suppression strategy!.
When Yang Mingkun succeeded to the throne, he was inspired to eradicate the Yuwen family, but he didn't expect to die before he left the school, he was poisonous, life and death were unpredictable, and it was even more difficult to complete the grand wish when he succeeded to the throne.
Nowadays, the Yuwen clan has formed a force in Luoyang as early as possible, and Yuwensheng is concentrating on management, although Luoyang is in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, it is not controlled by the imperial court.
This time, Yuwenshi, the king of Qin, and the king of Shu, in accordance with the holy decree, led the male soldiers to Luoyang., which coincided with the sunset,,. and hundreds of birds returned to their nests.
As the commander of Luoyang, Yuwen Sheng led the hundred officials of Luoyang to hold a grand celebration at the West Gate to welcome the arrival of the three armies.
After greeting for a while near the city gate, Yuwen Sheng warmly invited the King of Qin, and the King of Shu led troops into the city, wanting to reward the three armies in the city.
However, the King of Qin and the King of Shu both refused Yuwensheng's invitation, and the King of Shu did not even shy away from it, claiming that the war was urgent and there was no need to stay in Luoyang for a long time, so he should directly lead troops to Xiangzhou, eliminate the army under Yang Yue's account, and kill the Youzhou army.
It's a pity that Yu Wensheng insisted on claiming that the three armies came from Chang'an, traveled a long distance, and the boat and car were tiring, and they needed to recharge their energy before they could continue to hurry, and refused the proposal of the king of Shu.
In all kinds of helplessness, the king of Qin, the king of Shu, did not say much, only temporarily garrisoned Luoyang.
At this time, Yu Wensheng sent his entourage officials to lead the king of Qin and the king of Shu to the north gate of Luoyang to station.
Before nightfall, the left and right Yulin guards, the left and right Xiaowei, five miles outside the north gate, set up camp, and the army rested.
After dinner, the king of Qin led his personal guards to inspect the military camp and ordered the two generals of Yulinwei on the left and right to strengthen the defense in the military camp to prevent accidents.
Sure that the military camp was fine, King Qin did not hesitate, took a few cronies, went to the left and right Xiaowei military camps, and went straight to Yang Xiao's military tent.
They were at odds with each other, but in the face of righteousness, the King of Qin let go of his suspicions and did not care about the King of Shu.
After all, the two armies stationed in Luoyang are close to the left, and there are left guards under Yuwenshi's tent near here, as well as the Luoyang defenders controlled by Yuwensheng, so they have to be guarded.
In the military tent, the lights are bright, like daylight, the king of Shu and the left and right captains and generals, lying in front of the military map, as if discussing some military operations.
The left Xiaowei general, Yu Guang witnessed the visit of the King of Qin, raised his hand to signal to the King of Shu, the King of Shu raised his head, and the right Xiaowei general Guo Huaiyuan all got up.
Seeing the King of Qin walking into the military tent, the King of Shu wondered why the King of Qin came?
After straightening out the armor on his body, the King of Shu did not instruct the guards to prepare tea, bypassed the battle map, walked towards the King of Qin, and asked straight to the point: "Second brother, you don't want to go to the Three Treasures Hall if you have nothing to do, and the second brother is here, I don't know what the so-called thing is?"
When he was laying the country, he and the king of Qin fought secretly, and the relationship gradually broke down, and when discussing the conquest of Yang Yue, the king of Shu had great prejudice against the king of Qin.
This time he led the troops, quelled the rebellion, and during the march, he had little communication with the king of Qin.
At this moment, King Qin appeared in the military tent, which was really a bit strange.
King Qin glanced at the military tent and chuckled, moved to the center of the military tent, glanced at the King of Shu, Yuan Mingsha and Guo Huaiyuan, and said loudly: "Qilang, you and I led the troops to Luoyang, this Luoyang is a city of four stops, easy to defend and difficult to attack, the Yuwen family has been operating here for many years, and there are signs of rebellion, so we have to guard against it."
"Second brother, the younger brother has his own ideas in his heart, and the second brother doesn't need to be reminded.!" When the King of Shu heard this, he bowed his head and said softly.
King Qin snorted lightly, noticing the casual eyes of the King of Shu, slightly displeased, and still reminded with a serious expression, "Qilang, no matter what contradictions there are between you and me, I hope that when fighting against the Yuwen family, you and I will unite to jointly safeguard the interests of the imperial court and the Yang family!, don't do it, the relatives are painful, and the enemies are happy?"
When the army arrived in Luoyang, King Qin always had a premonition in his heart that something big must happen here!
In addition, King Xiaoyao passed back to the Yuwen family to rebel, and he deeply believed that the Yuwen family would never sit idly by and be indifferent!
The King of Shu is within the sphere of influence of the Yuwen family, and he still adopts a contemptuous attitude towards the Yuwen family, and if he continues like this, he will definitely suffer!
"Second brother, under the whole world, it is not the king's land, the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister, the Yuwen family has been operating in Luoyang for many years, but you and I arrived with 200,000 male soldiers, and the Yuwen family is okay if there is any ill-intentioned move, wouldn't we just destroy it." The King of Shu's words were sonorous and powerful, and he seemed to be full of confidence, his attention was in Youzhou, but on the way to Youzhou, he took the opportunity to annex the forces of the Yuwen family, and he was also happy.
"In this way, tomorrow you and I will lead the troops to leave Youzhou, leave here early, be safe as soon as possible, and conquer Liulang, it is a private matter for me and other brothers, but we can't let the Yuwen family sit back and enjoy it!" King Qin bowed his head and persuaded him with good words.
However, the King of Shu shook his head slightly and said, "Second brother, you are too cautious, the matter is not as serious as imagined,!"
The king of Shu has his own ideas and will never let the king of Qin control his own thoughts, lest all the deployment and efforts will be wasted. (To be continued.) )
