Liu Bang originally took Luoyang as the capital, and later Luoyang became Chang 'an. What happened in the middle?

Liu Bang was originally the capital of Luoyang, because Zhou was the capital of Luoyang, and Liu Bang wanted to create his great achievements by imitating Zhou. Later, it became Chang 'an. Because a counselor persuaded Liu Bang and Luoyang to be attacked on all sides, Liu Bang was moved to Chang 'an. The counselor's name is Lou Jing, a civilian and in rags.

At that time, Liu Bang made Luoyang his capital and gave a banquet to celebrate the three armed forces. Lou Jing wanted to visit Liu Bang, but he was stopped by soldiers outside the door, saying that he would have to put on decent clothes anyway before he could visit the current emperor. But Lou Jing said that he is like this, and there is no need to change because of the outside world. It is this that makes Liu Bang want to see what Lou Jing really wants to say. Because Liu Bang was originally from a humble background, he did not discriminate against people with humble status.

Lou Jing met Liu Bang and told him that Luoyang was not a good geographical location. He also asked if Liu Bang wanted to emulate Luoyang, the capital of Zhou Ding. Liu bang thought about what great achievements Zhou had made. He wanted to be an emperor admired by the whole world like Zhou, so he agreed. He just wanted to see Zhou.

Lou Jing went on to list the difference between Liu Bang and Zhou, saying that Zhou Jide has accumulated dozens of generations, and only a blow can achieve great things, while Liu Bang was born as a bandit and used violence to control violence. This background is different, so Liu Bang is much more threatened than Zhou.

If Luoyang is the capital, Liu Bang will be attacked from all sides if there are people who think of soldiers rebelling. If he moves to a better geographical location, he will be able to resist the enemy well. Liu Bang thought what he said was very reasonable, but he still consulted his counselor Sean. Sean thought Lou Jing's statement made sense, so Liu Bang moved the capital to Chang 'an.
