洛阳 / Luoyang (late Han)

Hanji 1003 adds the approach phase before Luoyang becomes a relocation problem. 曹操 wants to reach the emperor from Xu, but 杨奉 blocks the route and 韩暹 dominates the court environment. 董昭’s letter to Yang Feng and 董承’s later appeal make Cao Cao’s entry possible with little direct fighting in the source account.

洛阳 / Luoyang (late Han) enters the wiki through Hanji 1004 as the damaged imperial city to which 汉献帝 briefly returns before 曹操 moves the court to 许县 / 许都. The source says the palaces had been burned, the surrounding area was badly depopulated, and officials and soldiers lacked stable food and housing.

That material ruin changes the political meaning of relocation. 董昭 can recommend moving the emperor without presenting the step only as seizure of the court: the supply crisis gives Cao Cao a plausible public reason, while the move still shifts the emperor away from unstable Luoyang military actors and into Cao Cao’s better-controlled zone.

This page is disambiguated from 洛邑 / Luoyi, the older Zhou and early-Han capital frame. Hanji 1004’s Luoyang is a late-Han crisis site: symbolically important, but too damaged to secure the court.
