Zhang Liang said: "Although the Eastern Zhou Dynasty when Luoyang was the capital was better than the Qin and Jin Dynasties, the city wall was only a few hundred miles away, the fields were too thin, and it was surrounded by flat land on all sides, making it vulnerable to attack. On the other hand, there is Hangu Pass in the middle of the pass, and the fertile fields of Longshu are thousands of miles away.
, with the wealth of Bashu in the south and the convenience of Hu people's livestock in the north, we can defend on three sides and contain the princes to the east. As long as we hold the Wei River to transport the capital, when there is a change in the east, we can go down the river. As the saying goes, the golden city is a thousand miles away.
, the land of abundance. Lou Jing is right." So Liu Bang decided to make Chang'an his capital, and worshiped Lou Jing as his doctor, giving him the surname Liu.
Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty Liu Bang established his capital in Guanzhong. In the 5th year of Emperor Gaozu of the Western Han Dynasty (202 BC), Chang'an County was established. In the seventh year of Emperor Gaozu, the capital was established here. A new city was built in Chang'an County and named "Chang'an City", which means "long-lasting peace and stability".
The area where Chang'an City is located is "Jingzhao", which means "the land of the capital". Prime Minister Xiao He presided over the construction of the capital city of Chang'an, which started the grand foundation of the Han Empire.
Liu Bang rebuilt the palace on the south bank of the Wei River and north of Afang Palace on the basis of Qin Xingle Palace and named it Changle Palace. Weiyang Palace was built in the seventh year of Emperor Gaozu (200 BC). From the first year to the fifth year of Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty (194 BC)
(190 BC) to build the city wall, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty established Jing Zhaoyin to govern Chang'an, carried out large-scale expansion of Chang'an City, built Beigong, Guigong and Mingguang Palace, expanded Shanglin Garden in the west of the city, excavated Kunming Pool, and built
Zhang Gong et al.
Although Chang'an City today is still so tall and majestic, the city is not peaceful, but smoky, and the people are in dire straits. The reason is for no other reason than that the two thieves Guo Si and Li Jue are still entrenched in Chang'an.
As we said in the previous article, after Guo Si and Li Jue were defeated by Cao Cao, they did not flee in panic. Instead, they returned to Chang'an and recruited troops, bought horses, stocked up on grass and gathered food, which actually allowed him to recruit more than 100,000 troops, including
Many of them are Dong Zhuo's old tribe and Qiang clan and other foreign tribes.
It may also be that Emperor Xian and Liu Xie escaped from their hands. The two of them knew that they didn't have much time left, so they broke pots and bottles and indulged in wine and sex all day long. Isn't there a saying that goes like this?
The soldiers under Liang Wai, Guo Si and Li Jue were even worse. They caused harm to the people inside and outside Chang'an City all day long, causing complaints and complaints. However, those ministers who did not run away could only swallow their anger and dared to be angry but did not dare to speak out.
In the same city, some people are relaxed and others are nervous. On the official road outside Chang'an City, a horse gallops through the dark night. The person on the horse is a herald from the camp thirty miles outside the city. The herald is coming.
When he arrived at the closed city gate, he didn't care to adjust his breathing and shouted eagerly to the guard upstairs: "Urgent report, open the city gate quickly!"
"Little boy!" The soldier guarding the gate saw the person coming clearly and quickly opened the city gate. The ordering soldier rushed into the city without talking to anyone and galloped towards the Golden Palace. There was Guo Guo.
A place where Si and Li Jue liked to have fun.
Guo Si and Li Jue were drunk and dancing to songs and dances. Suddenly, two people hurried in from outside the door, breaking the joy in the room. The people who came in were Li Shi, Li Jue's son, and a messenger. But when they saw that
The messenger soldier was dusty, his face was haggard, and his body was covered in blood. He knelt down with a plop, eagerly took out a piece of paper from his arms, and then fell to the ground unconscious.
When Li Jue saw this, he thought: "Not good!" He rubbed his drunken eyes and took the document from the hand of the attendant beside him. Before he could finish reading it, he was stunned and drunk. They were mostly awake.
Guo Si felt that something was wrong and asked softly: "Brother Li, what's going on?"
Li Jue looked flustered and ignored Guo Si's questions. Instead, he handed the document to Guo Si. Guo Si took the letter of war and opened it to look at under the light. Before he could finish reading, Li Jue asked eagerly. : "Brother Guo, Zuo Aoran has led the army to invade. It is difficult to resist. What should we do?!"
"For the moment, I don't have any good ideas. I'd better worry about civil and military affairs and discuss it later!" Guo Si suggested.
"That's good, I'd like to ask the civil and military students for advice." Li Jue nodded and said, "Hurry up and summon all the civil and military officials to discuss the matter."
Soldiers went down to deliver the order. After a while, a group of civil and military officials arrived as expected. Officials of all sizes were lined up on both sides. The attendant first announced the news that Zuo Aoran had led his army to invade. After hearing this, everyone was in a state of excitement, whispering to each other, and discussing Zuo Aoran. If we lead an army to invade, we will definitely send troops to meet the enemy, but who among us can defeat it? Zuo Aoran is famous, the overlord of martial arts, the leader of Han Xin's unification, a capable minister in the world, and a commander in troubled times, but we don't have that This ability can defeat Zuo Aoran!
Li Jue saw that everyone was just whispering, but no one had any suggestions, but he was anxious. He glanced at the old god Li Ru beside him, and Li Jue calmed down. This Li Ru was the wise man of the deceased Dong Xiangguo. , as long as he looks like this old god, he has an idea, so Li Jue is not in a hurry.
"Mr. Wen You, Mr. Jue knows that he has millions of tricks in his mind. Today, Zuo Aoran is leading an army to invade. Please give me your advice without hesitation!" Li Jue stood up and bowed deeply to Li Ru.
Li Ru smiled slightly and said: "I don't know, general, is it war? Is it peace? Or something else?"
"Huh?" Li Jue pondered for a moment and said, "Peace negotiation? Haha! I am an old minister of Dong Xiangguo, and I even coerced Emperor Xian and Liu Xie into my hands. In the past, if Emperor Xian was in hand, I might be able to force Zuo Aoran to surrender, but now it is impossible. Well, for now, the only solution is to fight!"
"Okay! This is what I, Li Ru, have been waiting for, the general!" Li Ru paused and offered advice: "Most of the soldiers in the city are newly recruited soldiers. There are less than 50,000 well-trained soldiers, and the rest are mostly old, weak and injured. Sick, how can we fight in this situation? If we want to keep the city alive, we can only resolve the crisis by asking for help from neighboring counties."
"Who is willing to help me, Li Jue? Hehe! Who is willing to fight against Zuo Aoran?" Li Jue shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Zhao Cen and General Hu Zhen are stationed in Lantian and General Duan Xu is stationed in Huayin. They can send envoys to persuade them to tell them their interests and ask them to send troops to rescue them. General Zhang Ji has tens of thousands of troops and lives at Qingni Pass. You can also go there to report an emergency. The old general Yang Teng led his troops to move to Qiuchi and settle down. His son Yang Feilong has a nephew named Linghu Mao, who has tens of thousands of elite soldiers under his command. You can also write a letter to lure him, promising gold and silver. With food and grass, and the troops and horses in the five places united, the enemy soldiers can retreat." Li Ru spoke slowly.
"Brilliant plan! What a brilliant plan! What a brilliant plan! The rebirth of Wen Yi is really the rebirth of Zhang Liang! Haha!" Li Jue praised loudly.
Li Jue followed Li Ru's plan and sent envoys to four places to report the emergency. They arranged to meet in Weinan to jointly defend Zuo Aoran's Zuo family army. After the envoy left, Li Jue sent his younger brothers Li Ying, the captain of the military academy, and Li Ying, the lieutenant of the military academy. Wei and Lieutenant Li Huan of the Central Military Academy led five thousand soldiers to Weinan to build fortresses first, and then committed suicide and the rest of the army followed.
Li Ying, Li Wei, and Li Huan ordered their troops to march to Weinan Avenue. At this time, the front troops of Zuo's army had arrived. Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang, Zhang Chun, and Ju Hu held weapons in hand and charged Li Ying.
The armies led by Li Wei and Li Huan clashed.
The soldiers and horses led by the three brothers of the Li family saw the brave and elite Zuo family's army, but they dared to fight. There was a chaos. Li Ying, Li Wei, and Li Huan were not defending generals. I am afraid they were not even third-rate generals. They couldn't stop shouting.
He had no choice but to return to his horse and fled.
Lu Xiang, Zhang Chun, and Ju Hu arrived from behind. Zhang Chun stabbed Li Huan to death with a fork, Ju Hu cut Li Wei into two pieces with a knife, and Lu Xiang stabbed Li Ying with a spear. When the two horses crossed each other,
Li Ying was captured alive. Lu Kuang commanded the troops and horses, killed the remaining soldiers, and pursued them in pursuit of the victory. At this time, Li Jue's rear army happened to arrive. There was a melee, but they could not resist the enemy. They were defeated in Weinan. Lu Kuang
, Lu Xiang, Zhang Chun, and Ju Hu led the army to attack. Arrows rained down from the city, and they could not capture it. Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang, Zhang Chun, and Ju Hu then led the army to retreat ten miles and set up camp to garrison the troops.
, so that people can report victory to their lord Zuo Aoran.
