Fire prevention is a very important matter for every city.
Especially when there are still a large number of wooden structure houses like the Han Dynasty, the ancients had a very clear understanding of this during the overall planning of the city.
The entire city of Luoyang is structured around neighborhoods, and each street intersection is separated by gates and walls. Therefore, a general fire can only occur in one neighborhood at most and rarely spread to other places.
In order to provide timely disaster relief and rescue, the Han Dynasty set up "one pavilion per street" to be responsible for these matters. There were a total of 24 street pavilions in Luoyang City, and full-time night guards were assigned to patrol.
Night warriors were responsible for patrolling the streets outside the palace at night, controlling lights and other matters, and prohibiting people from starting fires in the streets at night. Personnel with the same duties in the palace called them "firefighters".
However, the equipment is not as advanced as that of later generations. Most of them are water bags and water bladders, and large bamboos are also used to remove the knots, and then fill them with water for use...
But no matter how backward the equipment is, it is a very strange thing that a fire like this has been burning for a long time and no one has come to put out the fire.
A group of people wearing night warrior uniforms appeared near Yanmen in the southeast corner of Luoyang City. They were holding some water bags or water bladders in their hands. Instead of going west to put out the fire, they walked along the street.
Instead, he silently went to the south gate.
Outside the south gate is Luoshui, and if you go east along Luoshui, if everything goes well, it will merge into the Yellow River, and then you will reach the territory of Hedong. The wild jujube is to the south of the Yellow River, and Yecheng is to the north of Hedong...
Several men in night warrior uniforms, with sturdy figures, were vaguely guarding an old man among them. Through the dark shadows of the houses on the street, they reached the area near the south gate of Luoyang.
The area near Xijin City in Luoyang City is as chaotic as a hornet's nest and extremely noisy, but the South City Gate seems like another world, quiet and silent.
A night warrior stepped out of the shadows and was exposed to the meager light.
A low shout came from the south city gate, and then several people emerged from the shadows of the city gate. A soldier who looked like a gate guard slowly walked up to Ye Shi, and seemed to take the
Something, and then retreated into the shadow of the doorway.
Not long after, a man who looked like a military commander walked out of the city gate. He followed the night scholar on the street and came to the old man. He knelt down on one knee and whispered: "See the master! Everything has been arranged."
!”
Grand Tutor Yuan Wei, who was pretending to be a night scholar, helped the military commander, patted his arm, and said: "After tonight, you will also find an opportunity to leave quickly. When you get to Runan, someone will make arrangements for you."
The military commander wanted to kneel down and thank him again, but Yuan Kui held him back, and the group quickly and quietly walked to the south gate.
Grand Tutor Yuan Wei tilted his head slightly, looked back, then turned back silently, and followed the pace of the guards in front.
Unexpectedly, he, a dignified leader of the three princes, was reduced to disguising himself as a lowly servant and escaping from Luoyang like a bereaved wild dog!
The problem is that Dong Zhuo and Li Ru moved too fast!
And compared to my own side, it’s really...
It turns out that according to Yuan Wei's own prediction, the worst case scenario would be for a group of people to approach Luoyang!
To the north is Yuan Shao, taking the east line of the river, and his troops suppressed Chenggao and Xiaopingjin; to the east is the Suanzao Army, with his troops pointing directly at Hulao Pass in Chenggao; to the south is Yuan Shu, whose troops advance into Wuguan to cut off Dong Zhuo's retreat...
Under the attack of three armies, coupled with the Yuan family's management in Luoyang City for so many years, is it still difficult to bring order to the court?
But I just didn't expect that the strength of the jujube troops was as if they were sour after eating too many jujubes. Only Bao Xin, the Prime Minister of Jibei, and Cao Cao, the former captain of the Dian Army, entered the army, and the others stayed in place all the time!
Yuan Shu in the south sent Sun Jian to the north, but the problem was that Dong Zhuo suddenly sent troops to blitz Yingchuan. Yuan Shu was worried that Wancheng and Yingchuan would be lost, so he dispatched Ji Ling to defend, and the supply of troops to Sun Jian was delayed again.
As a result, Sun Jian had no choice but to station himself in Liangdong...
north……
Thinking of the north, Yuan Wei really couldn't help it. He gritted his teeth and made two soft noises between his teeth.
Shuzi!
Yuan Wei couldn't understand why Yuan Shao would stay in Ye County to engage in political affairs! Just to become a self-proclaimed cavalry general? Or to dominate Jizhou?
What a clueless and incompetent bastard!
As long as Dong Zhuo is defeated and the Yuan family comes to power, Yuan Shao, not to mention the chariot and cavalry generals, and the Three Dukes will be just around the corner, so why rush it?
So Wang Kuang, the governor of Hedong, was sent. What effect could it have?
So far, Dong Zhuo has ordered Ding Hai to move the capital. The three-pronged army that was originally thought to be close at hand is actually far away...
However, fortunately, Yuan Wei also prepared a back-up plan.
During the tenure of City Gate Colonel Wu Qiong, he arranged for many of his own people. Although Wu Qiong has been killed by Dong Zhuo, most of the personnel who served at City Gate still remain.
The East Gate of Luoyang has always been Dong Zhuo's top priority. It is guarded by Xiliang soldiers personally, so there is no way to place any personnel...
To the north is Beimang Mountain, and it is too close to Beigong. It is difficult to escape and the risk is high, so it is not a good choice.
Not to mention the west side, it is a completely opposite road, so there is only the south gate to choose from.
Exiting the south gate is Luoshui, and a boat has been arranged. As long as you get on the boat, you will be able to escape. At that time, you can choose to go all the way by water, or you can abandon the boat halfway and go overland. Take the initiative
The power is completely in Yuan Wei's own hands!
As long as he returned to Runan, what would happen even if Dong Zhuo brought Liu Xie to Chang'an?
Back then, Runan held up a Liu Xiu, which continued the Han Dynasty's nearly two hundred years of power. Could it be that today we can't hold up a second Liu Xiu?
Or...
The South City Gate was right in front of them. In order not to attract other people's attention, a few soldiers did not dare to use the winch. After all, it was a tool and the noise was too loud. They were struggling to push the city gate open through a gap and come out.
The door shaft, which had been newly coated with a thick layer of lard, made a slight friction sound, and was finally pulled open with the combined efforts of everyone. A breeze blew in from the crack in the door, making everyone excited.
A shock!
Several guards disguised as night warriors quickly protected Yuan Wei from the south gate through the gap in the city gate, and then hurried to Luoshui...
On the river beach, under the night, several large ships were moored quietly.
Yuan Wei and his party quickly arrived at the side of the ship, and a guard stepped forward and gave the agreed-upon signal...
Just as the signal sounded, a roar was heard above the bow of the ship, a lot of torches were erected, and a lot of people were standing faintly!
Seeing that something was wrong, the guards of the Yuan family quickly gathered together to protect Yuan Kaituan!
But Yuan Wei, who was protected, did not feel any sense of security at all, but his heart sank suddenly...
Under the light of the fire above the bow of the ship, a scribe in a wide robe and long sleeves slowly walked out. He stood proudly with his hands behind his back and said loudly: "Where do you want to go? The stars are bright tonight and the scenery is unique. I will prepare some wine for you."
, I wonder if Tai Tuo is in a good mood, let’s have a drink together?”
Yuan Wei slowly straightened his back. Although he was still wearing Ye Shi's clothes, he showed an inviolable majesty. He pushed away the guard and slowly walked onto the bow of the ship, staring at Li Ru.
, a few words popped out: "Thank you for your hard work! Please!"
Zhou Yu poked Kong Ming's forehead: "I'll give you three days and I won't be able to collect 100,000 arrows, so I'll take a close look at your skin!"
After Zhuge left, Zhou Yu sneered and said to Lu Su: "Kong Ming, a foxy boy, relies on his sharp tongue to show off his frivolous behavior to his lord and instigate him to join forces with Liu to fight against Cao. It's time to find trouble and drive this little boy away."
go out."
Lu Su was very anxious and found Zhuge.
Zhuge asked him to take the straw boat up the river, and joked with a smile: "There is no rush now, you can wait until I have eaten this glass of wine."
Humph, this is not gay anymore...this is called "mother"...
