Luoyang, the Eastern Capital, was one of the three great capitals of the Sui Dynasty. It was also the ancient capital with the longest history among the three great capitals. Have a look?
It is not only the ancient capital of many dynasties, but also the central area of the ancient barbarian world in ancient times. Now that countless years have passed, there are still countless ancient barbarian lives inside and outside Luoyang, especially in the surrounding rolling mountains, where countless ancient barbarian tribes are still hidden.
this day
The iron hooves were like thunder, and an elite cavalry with dazzling silver light and fine armor soared like a silver dragon, heading straight for Luoyang, the eastern capital.
It is a horse, with a golden lion and silver armor, and a cloak like waves.
Such a procession caused passers-by to look sideways on the road. Many caravans, escorts, etc. hurriedly gave way and talked a lot.
Arriving at the foot of Tiandu City in Luoyang, the golden lion stopped and Wu Xin looked up in shock.
This is the first time Wu Xin has seen Luoyang, the eastern capital, with his own eyes!
The city wall made of huge stones is countless miles wide and two to three hundred feet high. It is as powerful as an ancient giant mountain, towering and majestic, suppressing the heaven and earth!
The city wall is mottled and gray, rough and thick. The wall is covered with countless marks of slashing with swords, stabbing with arrows and blasts of crossbows. Every bit of mottled gray tells the story of the vicissitudes of history; every mark of weapons tells the story of ups and downs.
When you are under the city, looking up at the city wall, you can't see the top of the wall, and you have a humble and insignificant feeling like looking up at the sky. You can also deeply feel the ancient atmosphere and the majestic and immortal momentum.
From a distance, this city looks like an ancient behemoth crawling on the earth. It has been trying its best to protect a living being for countless years, and is full of a sense of history and vicissitudes of time.
"What is the concept of two to three hundred feet high? It is seven to eight hundred meters high, which is comparable to the tallest skyscraper with more than 100 floors in the previous life (Burj Khalifa is 828 meters high, 163 floors)! In this world, it is only the height of a city wall."
Wu Xin was shocked and thought deeply, and did not move for a long time.
Is it really possible to capture such a heavenly capital by human power?!
Even if there is no one to defend and the soldiers are allowed to climb, they can't climb up without the help of powerful siege equipment, right?!
However, the facts are contrary to what Wu Xin thought. Luoyang, the eastern capital, has been through wars and has been involved in countless sieges, soaking in the blood of tens of millions of creatures!
There has always been a saying in the world that "the one who wins the Eastern Capital will win the world." Now that troubled times are coming, this saying has spread even more widely.
However, Wu Xin really couldn't figure out what kind of force could capture the Eastern Capital!
"I'm down to you, Zuo Qiupu (Jin Yuantong, Zhou Cai, Zhu Xiang), to welcome Duke Wu!"
At this moment, a group of several hundred people, including civil servants and military officers, poured out of the tall city gate to pay their respects solemnly to the four people.
"Welcome Duke Wu!"
Afterwards, everyone solemnly followed him to pay homage. The momentum was so great that it attracted the attention and discussion of a large crowd in front of the city gate.
Wu Xin looked around at the people in front of him, turned over and landed on the ground, bowed humbly, and responded repeatedly:
"The four uncles must not be like this, they are hurting my nephew!"
Zuoqiupu was the deputy lord of Luoyang City and Princess Bo of Henan Province. He was a middle-aged man wearing a scholar's robe and was elegant. More importantly, he was the chief staff officer of Wu Xin's grandfather Wu Hua. He was a great literary cultivator in the early days of loyalty.
.Comed from the Zuoqiu family, a down-and-out ancient clan.
Jin Yuantong is a muscular middle-aged man with an ape's back and a wolf's waist. His name is very strange, his surname is Jin Yuan and his first name is Tong. He is obviously an ancient barbarian and comes from the Jin Yuan tribe. More importantly, Jin Yuantong is the subordinate of Wuhua.
The first general is the General of the Zhenjun of the Sui Dynasty (the sixth rank), commanding the Luoyang army loyal to Wuhua.
Zhou Cai is slightly fat and looks like a half-hundred-year-old man who looks like a wealthy official. He is also a great literary cultivator in the early days of Danxin, one of the main staff of Wuhua, and the chief manager of Luoyang Wufu.
Zhu Xiong was a burly and strong old man. He was a military officer in Luoyang Cao, and he was also the commander-in-chief of the guards of Luoyang Martial Mansion.
The four people in front of me are Wuhua, the prime minister of Luoyang County, the eastern capital. The four confidants who stayed in Luoyang are loyal retainers who have accompanied Wuhua for decades!
In terms of seniority, the four of them are the same generation as Wu Xin's father, Samurai Leng, and are naturally Wu Xin's uncles.
"Young Master! You want to avenge me!"
Seeing Wu Xin like this, everyone who came out to greet him breathed a sigh of relief. Zuoqiupu suddenly fell to his knees and shouted in a trembling voice like he was pleading.
"Little Lord!"
All the people who were just performing official salutes all bowed down and shouted solemnly.
"Uncles, don't worry! The hatred of killing our ancestors is irreconcilable! No matter who the other party is, I will definitely destroy his whole family!"
This time Wu Xin was not humble and polite, but his body was as straight as a spear, and he responded solemnly like an oath. Take a look?
After a pause, he lowered his voice and asked: "This is the real reason why my nephew worked so hard and came here at all costs. Do any uncles have relevant information?"
God's will is like a knife.
Although Wu Xin had warned Wu Hua many times, the Wu family also took every possible precaution to protect him. Wu Hua still died during the expedition. He was killed when the three major camps of Zheng, Demon and Buddha united with countless strong men to assassinate the Civil and Military Holy Emperor Yang Guang.
According to the imperial court, Wu Hua sacrificed his life for the country and had meritorious service in protecting his master. He was posthumously named the top-rank Wuhua Marquis and the second-rank Zhuguo General.
Therefore, Wu Xin's father, Samurai Leng, inherited the high-grade Marquis of Wuhua title, and nothing else!
Wu Hua himself was very powerful, and he was surrounded by two ancestors of the Wu clan and hundreds of strong warriors of the Wu clan, but he still died in the chaos. If he said that he was not being plotted, but was just being harmed by innocent people, would anyone believe it?
The difference lies in whether he was killed by the court's calculations or by an assassin.
With the powerful intelligence of the Demon Sect, we could only investigate that Wu Hua was killed by the ancestor of the rogue cultivator. Then, the rogue cultivator died in the chaos, and the clues were cut off!
Everyone in Luoyang was in high spirits and felt quite pleased, excited and excited.
The official scripture of the Kingdom of Wu was spread in Luoyang, the eastern capital, so Zuoqiupu and others were able to wait here in advance.
It is said that Duke Wu dispatched millions of naval troops to assist the eastern capital Luoyang. However, they were intercepted by Xuangan rebels. Thousands of warships from both sides fought in the Mother River for three days. The river was stained with blood and debris blocked the Mother River, but they still could not break through.
The anti-military defense line is still facing confrontation and fierce fighting.
In desperation, Duke Wu could only break into pieces, and with the help of wooden boats and small ships, he led the naval elite to quietly land on the mainland and rush to the aid of Dongdu. Otherwise, by the time Xuangan rebels and lays siege to the city, it will be too late!
Zuoqiupu said in a cryptic voice: "As expected, it's the county captain Zheng Xian!"
"Jun Wei Zheng Xian? Xingyang Zheng family?" Wu Xin frowned and asked in confusion.
The Zheng family of Xingyang, one of the seven families with five surnames, ranks third among the so-called "four major families". There is a saying that "the Zheng family in the world comes from Xingyang". You can imagine the power and strength!
What Wu Xin was confused about was that no matter he, his grandfather Wu Hua, or the Wu clan of the ancient clan, they seemed to have no grudges against the Zheng clan of Xingyang!
Is it just because of the county captain Zheng Xian?
Even if Wu Hua is killed, Commander Zheng Xian cannot go any further. He is still a Commander! What are you asking for?
Luoyang, the eastern capital, was the political center of the Sui Dynasty comparable to Chang'an, the western capital. The imperial court would not set up prefects. County magistrates and county lieutenants were already at the top. No matter how high they were, they could only be transferred away from Henan County!
"Probably not. There is no reason for the Xingyang Zheng family to do this! It is probably the Dongdu Zheng family's own decision. There is no inside story yet! However, the Dongdu Zheng family is one of the most powerful branches of the Xingyang Zheng family."
Zuoqiupu thought for a while and explained in words. After a pause, he added: "Of course, it is only known by the investigation by Lao Nu and others. It is known by bribery of the Zheng Mansion in Luoyang. There is no conclusive evidence!"
"Thank you for your hard work, uncles! You are members of the Wu clan, not slaves. Uncles, you must not think of yourself as slaves, otherwise how will Xin'er face grandpa?"
Wu Xin took a deep breath, said seriously, and then bowed to the ground and thanked him: "Xin'er, on behalf of my grandfather, I would like to thank you all uncles!"
"It's my job!"
Zuoqiupu and others quickly stepped forward to answer, but their hearts were filled with joy and indescribable emotion.
Although Wu Xin is young, he is the Duke of Dawu, the prefect of Jiangdu, and the General of Hussars. He is also one of the four most powerful evildoers in the world. He is powerful in the world. His official title is much higher than that of Wuhua. He is recognized as having a bright future. He can treat them like this.
What more could these old retainers ask for?!
"Uncles, can you mobilize all your forces to suppress the Dongdu army? It won't take long, just half a day!"
Wu Xin stood up, looked at everyone seriously and asked, especially Zuo Qiupu and Jin Yuantong!
"Young Master means"
No one responded. Zuoqiupu asked in confusion.
"Li Tang, do you dare to follow me, destroy the rebellious Zheng family in Dongdu, and defend Dongdu in the storm?"
Wu Xin did not answer Zuoqiupu and others, but turned around to look at Li Zhan, Dou and other Li and Tang people who were following behind him, and asked solemnly.
"Well"
Li Zhan, Li Shimin, Li Xiuning, including Dou, who had always been calm and collected, all looked stiff.
Even Zuo Qiupu and others, as well as Ancestor Xiankong and others, also looked shocked. They guessed what Wu Xin wanted to do, but they couldn't figure it out!
"This Tang Guogong is in the city, we must wait"
Li Zhan's face showed bitterness and hesitantly declined.
"Okay! It's your duty to do things within your scope!" Mr. Dou suddenly interrupted, interrupting Li Zhan's words.
"Brother and sister," Li Zhan looked at Dou in disbelief and shouted.
Behind the Zheng family of the Eastern Capital is the Zheng family of Xingyang, one of the four major families!
Although Li Tang indeed owed Duke Wu a great debt of gratitude, there was no need to do so, right? It was obviously not cost-effective to enmity with the Zheng family for the sake of Duke Wu!
Dou's face was full of loyalty, and he responded seriously: "Eating the emperor's salary is a matter of loyalty to the emperor! The Duke of Tang fought with all his heart and blood to resist the rebels and protect the Eastern Capital. How can we not do something? I believe that the Duke of Tang will agree with this.
It’s a matter! It’s decided like this, if Tang Guogong is to blame, I will bear the full responsibility!”
Who is Tang Guogong? Dou's husband, but Dou calls him Tang Guogong, not husband!
""
Li Zhan, Li Xiuning, Li Shimin and other people in Li Tang had strange expressions on their faces. Some of them hesitated to speak. After all, they did not refute Dou in public!
Zuoqiupu was quite excited, but also nervous and reminded: "Young Master! We have no conclusive evidence."
"My father's revenge is a helpless act to eliminate thieves for the country and protect the Eastern Capital. Do you need evidence? The Zheng Mansion in Luoyang has colluded with the rebel army and intends to overthrow the Eastern Capital. That's what I said."
Wu Xin took a deep look at Mrs. Dou, then looked at Zuo Qiupu and others, and responded calmly as a matter of course, leaving everyone speechless.
"Do you need it? Don't you need it?"
Everyone's minds were a little confused and tangled, and some couldn't react.
The Zheng family in Luoyang is the largest branch of one of the four major families. It is also a large family and a wealthy family that is comparable to first-class power.
Zheng Xian was a fifth-rank lieutenant of Henan County in the Sui Dynasty and a fifth-rank chariot and cavalry general. Wu Xin killed him whenever he asked, and also wanted to exterminate his clan?
Is this really good?!
