Since Emperor Guangwu of the Later Han Dynasty established the capital here, the towering Luoyang City has stood four Jiazi on the land of Shenzhou, and it still stands majestically despite the changes of wind and rain. The moss-covered wall tiles on the city wall seem to tell the long history, the change of dynasties, the changes of the times, the only thing that remains unchanged is the majestic and majestic spirit of Luoyang City.

Although in the rebellion of Dong Zhuo at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Luoyang City was burned, and the ancient capital suffered endless catastrophes, ruins and rubble, and a scorched earth, but after Cao Wei established the country, Cao Pi decisively set the capital here, and Luoyang City returned to its former prosperity in a very short period of time.

The reason why Cao Pi chose Luoyang as the capital is that in addition to inheriting the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty, from the geographical point of view, Luoyang is located on the south bank of the middle reaches of the Yellow River, spanning several rivers of Yi, Luo and Jian, leaning on the mountain in the north, facing Yique in the south, according to the tiger prison in the east, and Kunban in the west. According to Zhang Hua, Luoyang is a place of dangerous defense and tiger standing on the dragon plate, "in the center, in the west to block the valley, to the east to Jingshan, to the south to look at the Shao room, in the north there are three rivers of Dayue, wind and rain, the country of four obstacles." Luoyang is in the middle of the world, the geographical location is dangerous, and it has always been a battleground for soldiers. In addition, the Yiluo Plain is fertile, the surrounding waterways are developed, and the transportation is convenient, which can well solve the supply problem of the capital division, so that the emperor can sit in the center, control the world remotely, and concentrate on maintaining his rule.

Therefore, King Zhou Ping avoided chaos and moved the capital to Luoyi, Emperor Guangwu Xingxing fixed the capital of Luoyang, and after Cao Pi usurped the Han Dynasty, the first target to consider the capital was Luoyang, and Luoyang City. Carrying the expectations of too many dynasties, they all invariably dream of the eternal prosperity of the mountains and rivers, but the prosperity must decline is the immutable law of the ages, and the once glorious Great Wei Dynasty is also like the sunset in the waning mountains at this moment, crumbling.

Although it is almost twilight, Luoyang City is still full of traffic. Bustling, shoulder to shoulder, the flow of people is like blazing, a prosperous and happy scene.

A convoy appeared outside the Pingcheng Gate in the south of Luoyang City, the decoration of the convoy carriage was rich and luxurious, and many guards hugged each other, the style was extraordinary, although the people of the imperial capital had seen a lot of pomp and circumstance of the convoy honor guard. But at this moment, the team of chariots that appeared outside the Pingcheng Gate still attracted everyone's attention, probably except for the emperor's chariot battles that were better than them. But the emperor's patrol was very unusual, especially after the Sima clan took charge, the power of the Wei State fell into his hands, and the emperor of the Cao clan had already become a puppet that was set up in the air, huddled in the deep palace of the Great Inner Palace, with nothing to do, and the people of Luoyang City. It's been a long time since I've seen the emperor out on patrol with that majestic car.

Such a pompous carriage not only attracted ordinary people to linger, but even the officers and soldiers of the Tiger Guard Battalion defending the city were respectful. They knew very well that unless powerful figures in the DPRK and China would dare to use such chariots to fight, such a person who was either rich or noble was not something that they would dare to offend, and these soldiers defending the city naturally had a clear vision, and they did not even dare to exercise the right to enter the city to investigate.

In the convoy, there were guards on horseback on both the left and right. All of them are swords and armor, full of majesty, and among the knights, there is a fat man with a round face and a double chin. Seeing the tall and majestic Luoyang City, he couldn't help but be amazed, and said: "Luoyang City is in the end, it is much more magnificent than Chengdu." ”

The other knight beside him was thin, as beautiful as a crown of jade, with red lips and white teeth, young and handsome, glared at him fiercely, and said in a low voice: "Woe comes from the mouth, second brother, don't talk nonsense!" ”

The fat man also lost his mouth, looked around for a while, hurriedly lowered his head, and said no more.

But his voice was a little louder, and the person in the middle of a luxury car had obviously heard his words, and a man in a gorgeous dress sitting on the left said to the person on the right with a little confusion: "Brother Wen, listen to your guard's tone, it seems that you have been to Chengdu, the capital of Shu?" ”

The merchant on the right surnamed Wen dressed as a person who was elegant and peaceful, calm and relaxed, heard him ask like this, and smiled indifferently: "The businessman, that is not the one who travels the world, does not hide from Brother Shi, not only has he been to Chengdu, the capital of Shu, but even Dongwu Jianye is also frequent." ”

The prince surnamed Shi nodded thoughtfully, and said: "No wonder Brother Wen is rich enough to rival the country, it turns out that the business is so extensive and he has won the richest in the world." However, businessmen are always at the bottom, if Brother Wen doesn't dislike it, he can get an errand for Brother Wen in Luoyang, I don't know what Brother Wen wants? ”

The merchant surnamed Wen hesitated for a moment and said: "The merchant surnamed Wen was born in a slightly cold background, the so-called high-grade non-cold scholars, and the low-grade non-scholar clan, how difficult is it to find an official and a half-job?" ”

The son surnamed Shi laughed and said: "What's so difficult about this, my father is the general of Zhengdong and the governor of Yangzhou, and such trivial things as getting an official and a half-position for Brother Wen are wrapped up in my Shi Bao, but Brother Wen needs to make a little money." ”

It turns out that this flashy young man is Shi Chong, the sixth son of Shi Bao, the governor of Yangzhou, the general of the Eastern Expedition, who has not yet reached the crown, but has shaded his father's merits.

This merchant surnamed Wen was acquainted on the way to Beijing, this time Shi Chong went to Shouchun to visit his father, and returned to Beijing after making a fortune from Shouchun.

His move, if he can't attract thieves, but chatter, sure enough, when he just arrived at Funiu Mountain, he was robbed by a group of strongmen, Shi Chong's private soldiers are not a few, but those thieves are obviously fully prepared, and a large number of traps and traps are arranged, so that Shifu's private troops have suffered heavy losses.

Just when Shi Chong shouted that the sky should not be right, and the earth was not spiritual, he suddenly rushed out of the official road in the southwest direction of the people, looking at the costumes, these people are the guards of the merchants, and those guards are all extraordinary, and as soon as they make a move, they will kill those bandits and run away.

Shi Chong couldn't help but be grateful, and after asking, he learned that these guards were the team of a Jingzhou merchant named Wen Chuan, and he greeted Wen Chuan, when he learned that the purpose of Wen Chuan's trip was Luoyang like him, he was overjoyed, and was worried about how to protect himself if he went forward, so he invited Wen Chuan to go with him and go to Luoyang together.
