The World of Yellow Sky

This is the case in the Dao, how can there be no conservative forces among the forces.

What Xu An is carrying out now is actually reform, and reform will undoubtedly be resisted by conservative forces.

If we want to break the cycle of reincarnation and build a brand new country, a country of the people themselves, the current reforms are definitely not enough.

Both the Yellow Turban Army and the Taiping Road need to carry out more reforms and carry out greater reforms.

After the world is unified, reforms and amendments must be carried out in all aspects.

At this stage, there will definitely be wild resistance from conservative forces and the opposition, and they will do everything they can to prevent the implementation of reforms.

Conservative forces and the opposition are not only external enemies, but also internal enemies.

If the reform is to be successful, there must be an army that can support him at critical moments and consistently stand in the same camp as him.

An army poisoned by feudal ideology, they will only blindly obey their superiors and obey their generals.

And an army with correct beliefs, full of vigor, vigor, and open-mindedness, they will understand who they should support at critical moments, because they will always stand on the side of the people, not the side of the powerful family .

Looking at the group of soldiers in front of him with their heads held high and their chests held high, Xu An felt that the pressure on his shoulders had eased a lot.

He is not alone, all the soldiers under his command believe in him, are willing to support him, are willing to follow behind him and go forward with him, and are even willing to sacrifice their lives for him.

The breeze blew past, blowing the flags fluttering in the sky.

Xu An turned his head to look to his side, and a group of Tengxiang guards holding horned dragon flag guns led their horses to guard him on both sides.

Behind him was a large number of yellow angels accompanying him, whether it was Teng Xiangwei or the yellow angels, they all knelt in the Taiping Temple devoutly, swore to Huang Tian, ​​and were willing to give everything for Huang Tian's world, even their own lives.

"It's been a long time since I saw you, Lord Yan is more powerful than he was back then."

Seeing Yan Zhong approaching slowly leading the horse, Xu An also showed a smile on his face.

"When did Duke Ming learn the language of flattery?"

Yan Zhong also showed a smile on his face, and said with a smile.

"I have been away from Liangzhou for too long. I thought I would not adapt to the climate of Liangzhou, but it turned out to be the opposite."

"It's still hard to leave my homeland..."

A look of sadness flashed in Yan Zhong's eyes.

He has been an official abroad for many years, and he only returned to Liangzhou when his parents passed away to observe their filial piety. Thinking about it now, after the young man left home to embark on an official career alone, he had almost no contact with his parents at home.

The tree wants to be quiet but the wind keeps on, and the child wants to support but the kiss does not wait.

However, Yan Zhong was Yan Zhong after all, and he quickly recovered and readjusted his emotions.

He is still the man in his fifties who is still ambitious, dares to go deep into Taihang, and devotes himself to the Taiping Road, which was still uncertain at that time.

"Liangzhou animal husbandry has heavy affairs and heavy responsibilities. Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Yan."

Xu An made a bow with both hands, and solemnly bowed to Yan Zhong.

Liangzhou and Bingzhou are far apart. The local situation in Liangzhou is complicated, Qiang and Han are mixed together, and conflicts inevitably arise. Liangzhou has always been restless. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was almost always in a state of turmoil.

Although the current situation in Liangzhou is completely different from before due to the intervention of the Yellow Turban Army, it is not easy to manage Liangzhou properly.

"Duke Ming led troops to pacify Liangzhou. Now Liangzhou is peaceful and peaceful, and Qiangdi surrendered. In fact, it is much easier to be a shepherd in Liangzhou in Ji County than in Jinyang before."

Yan Zhong waved his hand slightly, indicating that it's okay, then pointed to the gate of Chang'an City, and said with a smile.

"Chang'an is right in front of you. Why don't you go to the city first, and we can chat together during the celebration banquet?"

"What Yan Gong said is true."

Xu An is a good follower, and it is indeed a bit too long to waste time outside Chang'an City.

Afterwards, Xu An and Zhang Yan exchanged a few words briefly, and then stopped there.

Xu An stepped on the stirrups with both feet, and gently kicked the horse's belly, and Ben Xiao, who was sitting under his seat, moved his horse's hooves and walked forward slowly.

Yan Zhong and Zhang Yan also led their horses into the follow-up team.

Jia Xu consciously stepped aside from Xu An's side, allowing Yan Zhong to join in.

Zhang Yan joined the ranks of the Yellow Turban Army generals behind him.

The sound of horseshoes was messy, and the sound made by a horseshoeed horse trampling on the official road was much clearer and more powerful than the sound made by ordinary horseshoes.

Xu An raised his head and looked at the city gate in front of him. The city gate in front of him was extremely tall. Compared with the city wall in front of him, the gate of Jinyang City was nothing compared to the city wall in front of him.

On the city wall, khaki flags fluttered, and one after another soldiers stood on it, guarding Chang'an.

Looking at Chang'an City from a distance already shocked Xu An, but when he saw it up close, it was even more shocking.

In the Han Dynasty, Chang'an City had twelve gates in total, and each gate had three gates.

From north to south in the east are Xuanping Gate, Qingming Gate and Bacheng Gate.

From east to west in the south are Fu'an Gate, Anmen Gate and Xi'an Gate.

From west to east in the north are Hengmen, Chucheng Gate and Luocheng Gate.

From north to south in the west are Yongmen, Zhichengmen and Zhangchengmen.

Anmen is the gate in the middle of the south wall of Han Chang'an City, and Anmen is also the main gate to the south of Han Chang'an City.

The north of Anmen is facing the arsenal between Changle Palace and Weiyang Palace. The street entering from the gate runs through the north and south of the city, and is the main avenue of Chang'an City in Han Dynasty.

Anmen got its name because it means to pray for the safety and security of the city.

During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he obtained an ancient tripod from Fenyang and entered Chang'an through this gate, so this city gate was also called Dinglu Gate later.

When Wang Mang was in power, he changed its name to Guanglimen. Later, Liu Xiu revived the Han Dynasty, and the name of the city gate was changed back to Anmen.

The corridor of the city gate was also full of soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army, and Xu An drove his horse into the corridor slowly.

The crisp and powerful sound of horseshoes echoed in the corridor of the city gate, the sound of hunting banners, the sound of armor clashing, and the panting of war horses were all amplified several times in the corridor of the city gate.

The walls of Chang'an City are all rammed with loess. They are about 12 meters high and 15 meters wide. Outside the city walls are moats, about eight meters wide and three meters deep.

Anmen, as the south gate of the main avenue of Chang'an City, was naturally built extremely tall, just entering Anmen, Xu An's heart was filled with waves.

Soon after Liu Bang founded the country, he modified the Xingle Palace in the Qin Dynasty and renamed it Changle Palace, and moved the capital here from Liyang. Xiao He then presided over the construction of Taicang and Arsenal.

The current city wall of Chang'an was built during the reign of Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty. In the first year of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the North Palace, Gui Palace, Mingguang Palace, and Jianzhang Palace were built, and the Kunming Pool and Shanglin Garden were excavated. It took 90 years before it was completed.

Because the city wall was built after Changle Palace and Weiyang Palace were built, in order to accommodate the location of the Second Palace and the flow direction of the Weihe River in the north of the city, the city wall was built into an irregular square without the northwest corner, and the south of the west wall and the west of the south wall were bent outwards. It is said that Chang'an City "is in the shape of a south bucket in the south, and in the shape of a big bucket in the north", or "Doucheng".

The main buildings in the city include Changle Palace, Weiyang Palace, Beigong, Guigong, Armory, etc. Weiyang Palace is composed of more than [-] palaces including the Front Hall and Jiaofang Hall.

After Xinmang, the palaces, city gates, and arsenals in Chang'an City were destroyed successively. Although there were constructions and decorations in subsequent dynasties, they still failed to restore the grand occasion of the Western Han Dynasty.

However, Chang'an City in the Han Dynasty was quite different from that in the Tang Dynasty, and it was also different from Jinyang and other cities.

In the Han Dynasty, Chang'an City was mainly composed of the royal palace and its ancillary facilities. Markets and folk houses only accounted for a very small part, and most of the residents lived outside Chang'an City.

Those who can live in the residences of Chang'an City are all dignitaries and dignitaries.

On the left side of the main avenue of Chang'an City is Weiyang Palace in the west, and on the right side is Changle Palace in the east.

Changle Palace has actually become the palace of the Empress Dowager since Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty lived in Weiyang Palace.

Weiyang Palace, the main palace of the Western Han Empire, the political center and national symbol of the Han Dynasty, was built on the basis of the original Qin Shizhang Terrace. It is located on Longshouyuan, the highest southwest corner of Han Chang'an City.

Xu An turned his head to look to the west, which was the direction of Weiyang Palace.

Weiyang Palace is the political center of the empire and a symbol of the country. The main hall of the Great Dynasty is located at the highest point of Chang'an City. From the main road, the main hall of the Great Dynasty can be seen at a glance.

"It's nothing but magnificent..."

Jia Xu's eyes moved slightly, and he couldn't help praising that Luoyang's imperial palace was far inferior to Chang'an City after all.

Xu An's expression was slightly condensed, and only after entering Chang'an City did he truly see the magnificence of Weiyang Palace.

He remembered a story he read in a book when he read the history of the early Han Dynasty.

There is a legend recorded in Li Daoyuan's "Shui Jing Zhu".

In the Qin Dynasty, a black dragon came out of the Nanshan Mountain to drink the Weishui. The route it passed later turned into a mountain range, more than 60 miles long, with the Weishui at the head and Fanchuan at the end.

Xiao He built Weiyang Palace, "cut off the dragon's head and camp it", "the mountain is the foundation, not a false building".

"The mountain is the foundation..."

Weiyang Palace has gone through several wars, and even though it has been repaired in many ways, it is said that it is still not as grand as it used to be.

Xu An looked at the majestic Weiyang Palace in front of him, it was really unimaginable.

Not only Xu An, but also the generals of the Yellow Turban Army who followed Xu An, as well as the soldiers looked at the scene in Chang'an City, and it was difficult to maintain indifference.

There was a slight commotion among the accompanying team.

"It's really like going to Beijing to catch an exam..."

Xu An's eyes were solemn, he didn't turn his head to look at the team behind him, even his mind was shaken by Chang'an City, and the rest of the generals would definitely feel turbulent when they saw the scene here.

Xu An suddenly realized that he looked down on Dong Zhuo.

But now he can finally understand why Dong Zhuo had the upper hand, but after entering Luoyang City, he started to make frequent tricks, thus losing the best chance to control the world...

Chapter 635 Long live the future, Changle is still young...

The southern and central parts of Chang'an City actually belonged to the Han Imperial Palace.

On the north of Anmen is the arsenal between Changle Palace and Weiyang Palace. After entering Anmen, there is a north-south street that runs through the whole city. Although this street is the main avenue of Han Chang'an City, no one else is allowed to enter here.

The residents of the city and the people between the square and the city are absolutely not allowed, and it is impossible to reach here.

Weiyang Palace and Changle Palace are separated by this north-south street that runs through the whole city, but there are pavilions and roads in between.

"Dong Zhuo has used a lot of weapons in the arsenal in Chang'an City, which is much less than we expected."

Yan Zhong tightened his cloak. The weather was getting colder every year. Although it was already May, people still felt a bit chilly at dusk.

"There are no more than a thousand pairs of iron armor inside, and less than ten thousand halberds, knives and guns, but a lot of arrows have been hoarded..."

Yan Zhong's mood didn't fluctuate like other generals of the Yellow Turban Army. He has been to Chang'an City countless times. When he traveled as a young man, the first stop he arrived at was Chang'an. He also served as an official in Chang'an. Weiyang Palace , The scene of Changle Palace can no longer surprise him.

Yan Zhong and Xu An ran side by side, and there was no priority between the two.

Yan Zhong whispered to Xu An the situation in Chang'an City, as well as the situation on the west and north routes.

Although Xu An had already learned many things from the documents, Xu An did not interrupt Yan Zhong's words.

Xu An tilted his head slightly, and glanced at Yan Zhong beside him.

He noticed that Yan Zhong seemed to have a little hunchback. It was clear that Yan Zhong's back would not be bent even if he was at his desk day and night to deal with official documents.

When I met Yan Zhong for the first time, Yan Zhong at that time was still high-spirited and full of black hair.

But I don't know when it started, one after another wrinkles climbed up his forehead and the corners of his eyes.

I don't know when, hoarfrost began to appear on Yan Zhong's temple hair.

When I saw Yan Zhong again this time, his hair had all turned white, and his eyes were no longer as clear as before.

Yan Zhong talked for a while, then suddenly asked.

"Is it seven years?"

Xu An was startled for a moment, but then he realized that he knew what Yan Zhong would ask again.

"There are still four months to go, and it will be a full seven years."

A slight smile appeared on Xu An's face, and he answered Yan Zhong's question.

In the second year of Zhongping (185), he defeated Yang Feng who was entrenched in the south of Taihang Mountain. Zhang Baiqi, Guo Daxian and others in the north of Taihang Mountain all announced that they would join Taiping Road. The oath made Huang Tian's reputation resound through the mountains.

At the end of September, after he defeated Jinyang and led his troops back to the mountain, He Man, Zhou Cang, and Pei Yuanshao heard about Xu An's deeds in the Taihang Mountains, and led his yellow scarves to join him. With the three of them throwing themselves into the path of peace together.

In the Taihang River Valley, Yan Zhong manages the civil affairs and manages the [-]-mile Taihang in an orderly manner.

In the battle of Kuicheng, Yan Zhong commanded the Chinese army and successfully disintegrated the offensive of the Han army under Zhu Jun's command, so he became the mastermind of Taipingdao.

The martyrs are young and strong.

Although Yan Zhong's ambition has not declined, his body is already unsustainable.

When Yan Zhong followed Huangfusong all the way and led a dozen soldiers into the Taihang Mountains, he was actually 50 years old, the year of destiny.

Now eight years have passed in a flash, and he is no longer the general who can personally carry Ma Yang into battle to kill the enemy.

His back is no longer straight, his eyes are no longer clear, and his hair has been dyed the color of white snow by hoarfrost.
