After a lapse of nearly three years, Gao Yuan returned to Daliang City again, recalling that at that time he was only Wu Anjun, and his territory was only four counties in the north, with a population of only more than one million, and he was still struggling for his own survival.

After occupying Daliang, this battle began with the Three Kingdoms joining forces to attack Qin, and after countless repeated distances, it finally ended in the form of the Han-Qin Alliance defeating the Qi-Chu Alliance, and Gao Yuan naturally became the largest and only winner among the many players participating in this large-scale war.

After the end of the war, the territory now possessed by the plateau has included all the territories of Zhao, Qin, and Yan, most of the territory of Wei, a small part of Korea, and actually all or part of the provinces of Henan, Hebei, Liaoning, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Sichuan, Mongolia, and Guizhou, totaling about 1.2 million square kilometers, and the population is about 25 million. Coupled with the strong combat effectiveness of the Han and Qin dynasties, as well as the military and political talents of the plateau, it can be said that the two countries of Qi and Chu are no longer opponents at all.

However, now the plateau is not in a hurry to attack Qi and Chu immediately, firstly, because the scale of this battle is huge, and the consumption of Han and Qin is also huge, and it will take a certain amount of time to recover the national strength; Second, it is necessary to digest the great results of this war, mainly to stabilize the rule of the Dìng Plateau in the Qin State.

Of course, this is only a matter of time, because the current Qin State has no big forces that can threaten the rule of the plateau, and in the battle to recover Xianyang, the plateau has established a fairly high prestige among the residents of Xianyang, and there is the help of Hehua, so the plateau thinks that in five years at most, at least three years, he can completely bring the Qin State under his rule, and can restore at least seventy percent of the national strength, and at that time, he can calmly send troops to attack Qi and Chu, and unify the world.

In addition to Qi and Chu, Gao Yuan also knows that he has another enemy that should not be underestimated, that is, the Jiuli tribe. Although after the defeat of Xianyang, Han Teng disappeared, and Gao Yuan learned from Shui Xinyue that the Jiuli tribe had an internal split, which can be regarded as a major injury to the vitality, but Gao Yuan still would not let go of the Jiuli tribe, except because the Jiuli tribe wanted to establish a country, it was basically impossible, but if they wanted to engage in sabotage and terrorist activities, they still had a lot of power, so they must not let go of the Jiuli tribe.

But now the plateau only knows that the Jiuli tribe's station is in the mountains in the south, but he doesn't know the location of the body, and Shui Xinyue didn't tell the plateau when he said goodbye. However, Gao Yuan now has a lot of information about the Jiuli tribe, and he is not as blind as before, knowing that the Jiuli tribe is a large tribe with a total population of seven or eight hundred thousand, and such a huge tribe cannot hide in the mountains without any information. And there was no news of the Jiuli tribe before, mainly because no one paid attention to it, so as long as you search carefully, you should always find some clues, not to mention that some Jiuli people have been arrested on the plateau now, and some clues will always be asked among these people.

And after this defeat, the Jiuli clan must be seriously injured, and it is impossible to recover without ten years, so it is impossible to make any big moves in a short period of time, and there is still enough time on the plateau.

After resting for ten days in Daliang, Gao Yuan ordered to leave Sima Shang, Yang Duan and the two of them to lead 150,000 troops to garrison Daliang, and he and Hehua led the rest of the army to return to Handan.

At this time, it was the August season, the heat gradually subsided, the golden wind was cool, and the mood of the plateau and others was happy, so they marched all the way, traveled all the way to the mountains and rivers, and walked for nearly two months before the army returned to Handan.

Gao Yuan had just entered the Handan Palace, and before he could change his clothes and sit down, an attendant came to report that Zhang Liang asked to see him.

Although Gao Yuan was a little surprised, he didn't care, maybe Zhang Liang really had something important to tell him, so he asked Li Yinghong, He Hua, Chunyu Zhongxiu and others to rest first, and he wore a military uniform to meet Zhang Liang.

After a while, Zhang Liang entered the meeting, and after giving Gao Yuan a salute, Gao Yuan smiled and said: "The widow is in such a hurry to see the widow, is there anything important?" ”

Zhang Liang smiled and said, "When the minister saw the king, he wanted to ask the king to do his best." ”

Gao Yuan was stunned for a moment and said, "Dingdu? Haven't we already set the capital? In Lingshou, Dingdu has been in the capital for nearly two years, why does the ovary say this? ”

Zhang Liang said: "This time is also a while, the king only has the land of the Yan Dynasty before, the land is not more than a thousand miles, the population is less than four or five million, the location is remote, the country is small and sparsely populated, so it can only be set in Lingshou, but now the king has the land of Qin, Zhao, Yan and Wei, the world is divided into three, the king has two of them, the place is thousands of miles, the population is tens of millions, and although Lingshou has the solidity of mountains and rivers, but it is small, but hundreds of miles, the fields are thin, and the enemy is on all sides, this is not a country with force. Therefore, the minister asked the king to choose another place to build the capital. ”

After listening to it, Gao Yuan thought about it and felt that Zhang Liang made sense, the capital is the core of a country, it is naturally very important, although he has just been in Lingshou Dingdu for two years, but in the past two years, the development of the situation has been completely different, Lingshou whether it is geographical location or socio-economic conditions, as his current capital, is obviously inappropriate, not conducive to his own rule and management of the entire country, so it is completely necessary to choose his own capital.

And now there are many cities that can be chosen under their rule, such as Xianyang, Handan, and Daliang used to be the capital with a history of 100 years, whether it is the size of the city, the population, public facilities and palace buildings are very complete and perfect, it can be said that as long as the capital is selected, you can move in with your bag, and you don't need to do additional repairs, and it doesn't cost anything. And in the coming years, there will be no large-scale military operations on its own, so there is quite enough time to complete the work of moving the capital.

However, if you want to choose your own capital from these cities, you still need to think carefully and think about it, after all, this time the plateau does not plan to make a temporary decision, but in one step, even if the world is unified in the future, I don't want to change places.

Thinking of this time, Gao Yuan's heart moved, although it must be a big event, but Zhang Liang didn't seem to have to be so anxious to see himself to say something, so there must be another purpose in this, but now Gao Yuan is not a hairy guy, after a little thought, he figured out Zhang Liang's intentions, so Gao Yuan smiled: "Then according to the opinion of the child, where should this capital be located?" ”

Zhang Liang saluted the plateau and said, "Returning to the king, the minister thinks that the capital should be in Xianyang." ”

Gao Yuan smiled and said, "I don't know why the ovary has such a discussion?" ”

Zhang Liang said: "Xianyang is the former capital of Qin, located in Guanzhong, in the past, Su Qin saw King Qin Hui, Chen said 'Lian Heng' plan, praised Guanzhong's 'Tian Feimei, the people are rich, the chariot is ten thousand times, fight the hundred trade, the fertile field is thousands of miles, the accumulation is more abundant, this so-called Tianfu, the world's Xiongguo also', and the left of the Guanzhong, the right Longshu, the fertile field is thousands of miles, there is the Rao of Bashu in the south, there is the benefit of Hu Yuan in the north, blocking three sides and guarding, only one side of the east to control the princes, the princes are stable, the river Wei Cao saves the world, and the west gives the Beijing division; This so-called golden city thousands of miles, the country of abundance, the spine of the world, the dragon head of the Central Plains, this Cheng Jian Wang hegemony, the foundation of the land. The Zhou room originated here, so it was able to become a soup and win the world, but the king of Ping moved eastward, abandoned Guanzhong and Duluoyi, the Zhou room declined, and no longer prospered; And the Qin State got it, so it rose in the candidates, the world did not dare to be the dominant with it, and now the king has Guanzhong, when he can dominate the world, open the dynasty and build the foundation, and achieve the cause of eternity, how can he abandon Guanzhong and go elsewhere. ”

After listening to Gao Yuan, he clapped his hands and laughed: "The widow has a good son, such as Yin De Yiyin, Zhou Delu Shangye, do not hide the ovary and say, the widow has long wanted to settle the capital in Guanzhong, this time back to Handan, is about to announce, I don't want the ovary to have this discussion, this is the same thing that the world's capable people see." ”

Hearing that Gao Yuan compared himself to Yi Yin and Jiang Ziya, Zhang Liang's eyes also flashed with a hint of brilliance, and he immediately bowed down and said: "It turns out that the king has already seen this, and the minister is too worried, but the minister asks the king to make a decision and set the capital as soon as possible, so as to calm people's hearts, and not make mistakes." ”

Gao Yuan nodded and said: "Don't worry, the widow will edict the whole country tomorrow, and the capital will be Xianyang." ”

Zhang Liang saluted Gao Yuan again, and then quit the palace.

In fact, without Zhang Liang's persuasion, the plateau will also choose Xianyang as its capital, because in another time and space, Chang'an, the capital of the Western Han Dynasty after the Qin Dynasty, is only more than ten miles away from Xianyang, not that the Western Han Dynasty does not want to build the capital in Xianyang, but after Xiang Yu invaded Guanzhong, a fire will burn Xianyang, and when Liu Bang sets the capital, Xianyang has become a ruin, so he had to rebuild the capital near Xianyang, named Chang'an, that is, Xi'an City in later generations.

Although before crossing the plateau, Xi'an has been weakened, and the overall economic development has lagged behind China, but in this era, it is definitely a treasure land of feng shui, because it is located in the so-called Guanzhong region, and it is also the Wei River Plain, the Wei River and its tributaries Jing River, Luo River, etc. form a huge water system, so since ancient times, irrigation has been developed, the wind and rain are smooth, the land is fertile, and agriculture is developed, in the era of agricultural production in China, the best place for nature, and surrounded by mountains, easy to keep and difficult to keep, in ancient China, Thirteen dynasties have built their capitals here, including the most prestigious Han and Tang dynasties in ancient China, with Chang'an as their capital.

It was only after the Tang Dynasty, with the economic development of the south and the environmental climate change in the Guanzhong region, that the Guanzhong region gradually weakened and was not in the center of China, but now the plateau chooses the capital, of course, Xianyang will be the first choice, after all, Xianyang has not been destroyed now, and there is no need to build another capital.
