Chang'an, looking at it from a distance, is smaller than Luoyang before Cao Chong.
Chang'an suffered from years of war, not only experienced Dong Zhuo's rebellion, after Dong Zhuo, although Chang'an had nothing to praise the achievements written by Luo Guanzhong, but the degree of tragedy was the most tragic in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
At that time, Chang'an was eating people, hundreds of thousands of households in the Guanzhong area, because of wars, droughts, locust slaughter, famine, earthquakes, millions of people almost disappeared from this place.
This matter starts with Dong Zhuo's westward migration, Dong Zhuo's army has been killing people everywhere when it entered Luoyang, robbing women, and its style is extremely brutal, and Chang'an under Dong Zhuo's rule will not be much better.
After Dong Zhuo moved westward, he built a dock and hoarded grain and grass there for 30 years, and with his ruling methods, it is not difficult to imagine how much grain and resources he took away from the people by forceful means.
Dong Zhuo also ruled with severe punishment, cutting off the tongue, cutting off the hands and feet, gouging out the eyes, boiling alive on the rebels after the lure, and if they were not killed, they would be bloodied and drunk with wine.
It was Dong Zhuo, Li, and Guo Yan who killed the officials, and even Wang Yun liquidated a bunch of Dong Zhuo's henchmen after killing Dong Zhuo, including many officials who were wrongfully killed, such as Cai Yong, a famous historian, Confucian scholar, calligrapher, and musician in history, who was killed by Wang Yun.
After Wang Yun and Lu Bu killed Dong Zhuo, they took power together, but in fact, Wang Yun had the final say.
Someone persuaded Wang Yun to appease Dong Zhuo's old department, but Wang Yun said that he would disband the Xiliang army, and the rumors spread more and more, and it became that Wang Yun would never forgive Li, Guo Yan, Zhang Ji and others, in fact, such as Xu Rong and Hu Zhen also belonged to Dong Zhuo's old department, and they were also accepted by Wang Yun. may be the vacillating attitude of Wang Yun that forced Li, Guo Yan and others to make a backwater blow.
Soon Lü Bu was defeated by more than 100,000 people of Li and Guo Yan, and Xu Rong, the famous general who had defeated Cao Cao and Sun Jian, was also defeated and killed, and Hu Zhen surrendered to Li and Guo Yan and attacked Chang'an together.
After ten days of siege and the city fell, Lu Bu fought with them in the streets, while Li and Guo Yan allowed the soldiers to kill and set fire to the city at will.
Wang Yun did not flee with Lu Bu and was killed by Li and Guo.
Since then, Dong Zhuo's old ministry has been in charge of the government again, and Li Ren has been the general of the chariot cavalry, the marquis of Chiyang, and the commander of the department is subordinate to the school captain and the fake festival.
Guo Yan was the rear general and the Marquis of Meiyang.
Fan Chou is the right general and the marquis of ten thousand years.
Zhang Ji was a hussar general, the Marquis of Pingyang, and a soldier Hongnong.
From the third year of the first peace (192) to the first year of Xingping (194), Li and others often indulged their soldiers in plundering everywhere.
Ma Teng and Han Sui were originally invited by them to attack Chang'an together, after Li took power, Ma Teng tun troops in Yu, close to Chang'an, Han Suitun in Jincheng in Liangzhou, which is considered to be a Xiliang tribe formed in order to confront the Shandong Alliance.
Li and Guo Yan had 100,000 people, and Dong Zhuo's Xiliang army was a tribal system, a private soldier system composed of clans, guests, tenants, protégés, former officials, etc., when fighting was a trilogy, and in peacetime it was a tenant, that is, an armed cultivator who ploughed and fought.
Because they often ran and fought, it was impossible for Li and the others' army to supply so much food, so one of their major sources of income was to rob their homes and houses.
Warlords like this come to power the central government, and if they do not carry out reforms as soon as possible, they will surely collapse quickly.
Ma Teng asked for Li, but he didn't get any benefits.
Liu Yan's eldest son, Zuo Zhonglang, conspired with Liu Fan, Ma Yu in the servant, and Chong Shao, the counselor, to win over Ma Teng's forces to deal with Li and Guo Yan.
Ma Teng and Han Sui raised troops and fought with Guo Yan and Fan Chou under the Changping Guan, Ma Teng suffered a heavy defeat, and Liu Fan and others were killed.
In the first year of Xingping, there were not only military disasters in this year, but also a major drought in the Guanzhong area, and two earthquakes in a row.
In a place where productivity is largely lost, the drought is still affected, and even if there is farming in the area, there will be no yield, let alone the damage caused by the earthquake.
The Guanzhong region has been unable to support Li and Guo Yan's subordinates.
In order to restore productivity, Emperor Han Xian personally went to the field to plough the land, hoping to drive the people to resume agricultural production, this year Han Xian Emperor Liu Xie was only thirteen years old.
Then came a great plague of locusts, and it was useless to cultivate.
It is said that the emperor is still lucky, and he can still see the solar eclipse, but the people at the time thought it was a bad omen, the emperor did not go to the palace, and the soldiers could not use weapons, so they ignored the government for five days.
At that time, there were many problems in Guanzhong, and even if the imperial court did not close its doors for five days, the matter could not be handled.
At that time, the price of goods was terrifyingly high, a piece of grain cost 500,000 yuan, and a piece of beans and wheat cost 200,000 yuan, so it was a luxury to be able to eat a tea egg The phenomenon of cannibalism is increasing, and it is impossible for the people to have money to buy sky-high food.
Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty ordered Hou Wen to take out the grain stored by the imperial court from Taicang and cook it into porridge for the hungry people to eat.
But the people who starved to death did not decrease at all, Emperor Xian suspected that someone was corrupt, and personally sent someone to take five liters of rice and beans to boil into porridge in front of him, and finally he could cook two pots to cook porridge, knowing the amount of porridge cooked by Hou Wen, which is also called porridge It's obviously rice water.
So he ordered a thorough investigation, but only the officials below Shangshu admitted their mistakes, and in the end, it should be the temporary workers who were wrong, and Hou Wen was only beaten with a cane for fifty years.
At this time, most of the people were finally barely saved, and soon the Qiang people rebelled, and Guo Yan and Fan Wei were not incompetent people, and they led their troops to quell the traitors.
In September, the mulberry trees bear fruit, and people can pick some mulberry fruit to eat.
The good times didn't last long, and later Li and Guo Yan killed Fan Chou first, and the two turned against each other to attack each other, and the place of the battle was in Chang'an City, and the palace was the main battlefield.
Although Li had the advantage of troops, with tens of thousands of people, he also attracted thousands of Qiang and Hu, and promised to give them palace maids, beautiful clothes, and so on after the victory.
However, Guo Yan took Zhang Bao, Zhang Chong and others under Li's Zhonglang as the internal response, and attacked in the palace, Guo Yan's archers launched a volley, and there were rebels later, and Li's army was beaten to the ground by hundreds of Guo Yan.
Needless to say, in this battle, the palace gates were burned down, the temples were not spared, and there was no trace of civilization in Chang'an City.
After months of fighting, more than 10,000 people died on both sides, Dong Zhuo's other general, Zhang Ji, finally came to fight the round, Li was originally the strongest, but after being defeated by Guo Yan, his generals rebelled again and again, and the two sides were in a state of parity.
Baiguan took advantage of this time to flee to the east with Emperor Xian of Han, Li and Guo Yan chased after him, and in the battle of Dongjian, Guangluxun Deng Quan, Weiwei Sun Rui, Tingwei Xuanbo, Dachangqiu Miaoci, infantry captain Wei Wei, Shizhong Zhu Zhan, and Shooting Captain Fu were all killed.
Slaughtering hundreds of officials like this, I am afraid that the princes of Shandong, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Gongsun Zhan, Yuan Shu and others will not be able to do it.
It can be said that Chang'an has actually suffered more than Luoyang.

However, after Cao Cao took control of Chang'an, Luoyang's vitality had already recovered a lot, but the population was much smaller than that of Luoyang.
There are fewer people, and the degree of prosperity is naturally much inferior.
For example, the 5,000 soldiers stationed in Chang'an, Chang'an could not even supply their grain and grass, but had to transfer grain from the Guannei.
Chang'an was Cao Pi's fief at this time, and Cao Chong was not sure if Cao Pi would do something to himself in Chang'an
