栎阳 / Liyang (Qin-Han)

栎阳 / Liyang (Qin-Han) enters the wiki through Hanji 149 part 2 as the capital to which 刘邦 moves after recovering the Guanzhong operating space. The key is disambiguated because other historical places can be romanized as Liyang.

The source places the move inside Liu Bang’s consolidation of 关中 and its frontier. After the capital move, Han forces take 陇西郡 and then 北地郡, while 萧何 and 韩信 anchor rear governance and military order.

For this wiki, Liyang is a narrow capital-base marker: Liu Bang is no longer merely breaking out of Hanzhong but turning the recovered Qin heartland into an administrative and military base for eastward action.

Hanji 155-1 makes Liyang the rear-capital setting for two consolidation acts after the 荥阳相持 begins. Liu Bang returns there from Xingyang, names 刘盈 crown prince, and grants a general amnesty before the episode turns to 魏豹’s renewed defection and 关中 famine.

Hanji 165-1 returns Liu Bang to Liyang after his 广武 wound. The source says he hangs 司马欣’s head in the market there for four days, turning the rear capital into a public warning site against wavering between Han and Chu.

Hanji 174 part 2 uses Liyang as the setting after the reward-settlement sequence. 刘邦 returns there before honoring 刘太公 as 太上皇, so the place marks the shift from court merit ranking to imperial family-status ordering.
