Chaos of the Three Kingdoms Summons

Chapter 368 Moving the Capital
During the period when Li Xiang was attacking Mengjin Pass in a hurry, the situation here at Hulao Pass also changed slightly.

In Hulao Pass, when Dong Zhuo received an urgent report from Yang Lin that the allied forces of the Kwantung princes had attacked Xiaopingjin and that Mengjin Pass was in urgent need of support, he was immediately taken aback and called his confidant Li Ru to discuss the military situation.

Dong Zhuo was worried, and when he saw Li Ru, he said urgently, "Wenyou, Xiaopingjin has already fallen, and Li Zifeng's troops are approaching Mengjin Pass, and Mengjin Pass may not last long. There are many young people in Luoyang City. If we cooperate internally and externally, Isn't the truth in jeopardy?"

Hearing such news suddenly, Li Ru couldn't help being slightly taken aback, and quickly reacted and said, "Xiangguo, Li Zifeng is no match for ordinary people, and the two generals Fu Jian and Yang Jian have great talents, Xiangguo can make you One of the two generals led the cavalry to help."

Although Li Ru had given an idea, Dong Zhuo was still full of worry and said anxiously, "No, from the time Yang Lin passed the news until today, and when the reinforcements arrived, with Li Zifeng's ability, Yang Lin didn't see you." To be able to hold on for such a long time.

Since Xiaopingjin and Mengjin, Luoyang has been safe all the way.Although Yang Jian or Fu Jian are talented generals, they may not be able to survive against Li Zifeng, so they may not have much chance of winning.

If I personally lead the army to go there, the Kwantung Allied Forces will watch the tigers for a long time, and the Hulao Pass may not be safe.Wen You, now it seems that the situation of our army is very bad. "Speaking of this, Dong Zhuo's face was extremely solemn, and he suddenly felt that the Hulao Pass was like paper, and he had no sense of security at all.

"Report, report to Xiangguo, Xuanyuan and Wuguan urgently report that Yuan Gonglu and Liu Yu's army is under pressure. Several generals request Xiangguo to send troops to support."

Just as Dong Zhuo was speaking, another bad news came.At this moment, even Li Ru's expression turned serious.

Thinking about each piece of news, Li Ru pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "I want to report to Xiangguo, recently I heard that there is a Han in the west of Luoyang street market, and a Han in the east of the road, and the deer walks into Chang'an. Difficult. Thinking about it now, it seems that it should be at this time."

Dong Zhuo was very curious and asked, "Well, a nursery rhyme? Does Wenyou know the meaning of this rhyme?"

Li Ru replied with a sly smile, "Master Xiangguo, Ru has thought about this rumor twice recently. The first Han in the west is about the establishment of Chang'an, the capital of Gaozu, and the [-] emperors; the first Han in the east is Ying Guangwu." The establishment of Luoyang as the capital is also said to have happened among the [-] emperors, and the luck of the heavens returned. Now that the Kwantung coalition forces are pressing against each other, Xiangguo should return to Luoyang and move the emperor to Chang'an, so there will be no danger."

Dong Zhuo thought to himself, there are many young people in Luoyang city, although these people appear to be attached to the hand, but secretly they are a nest of snakes and rats, making the Xiliang army in Luoyang like a rootless duckweed.

The longer the siege of the Kwantung Allied Forces lasts, the more unfavorable it will be to oneself.If you go to Chang'an, the situation will be very different.Chang'an is close to Liangzhou, and Hangu Pass is a natural danger. The rise of the powerful Qin in the past relied on the benefits of Hangu Pass.Occupying Chang'an, and with Liangzhou as a support, why worry about not being able to achieve great things.

In addition, he himself is from Longxi, Chang'an is close to Longxi, and moved the capital to Chang'an, wouldn't he completely hold the emperor in his hands.

Moreover, after Hangu Pass, Tongguan is even more of a natural danger. With these two passes in hand, the princes of the Guandong should not worry about it.

Speaking of Tongguan, its military status is not inferior to that of Hanguguan.Tongguan is located to the west of Hangu Pass, and the distance between the two is nearly a hundred miles. These two passes are very dangerous, and because the distance is relatively close, there is the name "Hundred Two Qin Pass".

In particular, Tongguan, as the last pass from the Kanto to the Guanzhong Plain, is no less important than the Shanhaiguan Pass to Beijing during the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

After the Han Dynasty, due to changes in the geographical environment, the military defense of Hangu Pass declined, and Tongguan became the east gate of Guanzhong. Especially after the Tang Dynasty, Tongguan's status has always been very important.

At the peak of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, An Lushan captured Tongguan, and Tang Xuanzong had to take his ministers to Shu.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, after Li Zicheng retreated from Beijing to Guanzhong, he tried his best to defend Tongguan, but he was still no match for the iron hooves and firearms of the Qing army, and he was defeated in the end.

During the Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese army tried to enter Guanzhong from North China, and Tongguan was of course a must pass. Therefore, the Chinese army mobilized elites to defend Tongguan. With the right time and place, they repelled the Japanese attack and finally kept the peace in Guanzhong.

Tongguan was still an important military town until modern times. At the end of the Han Dynasty, when transportation and weapons were backward, it was an important military place where one man guarded the gate and ten thousand men could not open it.

Compared with Hangu Pass and Tongguan in Guanzhong, which only need to block the enemy in one direction, although Luoyang also has the danger of eight passes, it needs to divide troops to guard these passes at the same time.Thinking of this, Dong Zhuo became more and more delighted with Li Ru's suggestion of moving the capital.

Therefore, Dong Zhuo immediately rejoiced and said, "Wenyou's words are very kind. If Wenyou hadn't reminded me, I would not be able to realize the benefits and harms. Wenyou is really my son's wife! With Wenyou here, why should we worry about the big things not being done!"

That night, Dong Zhuo ordered Fu Jian and Xu Rong to lead an army of [-] to guard Hulao Pass, and then drove Xingye back to the imperial capital Luoyang with Wu Wenhua and Lu Bu.Dong Zhuo told Fu Jian and Xu Rong before leaving that as long as they can stop the five-day attack of the Kwantung princes' allied forces, they can retreat towards Chang'an.

That night, in Luoyang City, Dong Zhuo's obese body appeared in front of his eyes again, and Liu Xie forcibly suppressed his fear.

"Xiangguo, why are you in such a hurry?" Liu Xie asked cautiously.

Originally, Liu Xie thought Dong Zhuo was dealing with the allied forces of the Kwantung princes at Hulao Pass, saying that he would not come back within three to five months.

During this period, he can secretly summon the veterans of the court through the three princes Wang Yun, Yang Biao and others, waiting for an opportunity to launch an attack.Unexpectedly, before he started to make some small movements, Dong Zhuo had already returned.

I was afraid that Dong Zhuo came back because he found some clues, so when Liu Xie spoke, he couldn't help but be more cautious in his voice.

"Your Majesty Qizuo, our family watches the sky at night. Luoyang, the capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty, has been passed down for more than [-] years. It has been handed down to [-] emperors successively, and its vitality has declined. The prosperity of viewing is really in Chang'an, and our family wants to take it to the west. Everyone should promote it. Pretending." Dong Zhuosheng said coldly to Liu Xie and the court officials.

Hearing that Dong Zhuo was going to move the capital to Chang'an, all the officials were shocked.Seeing that Dong Zhuo was in such a hurry, he might have lost the battle on the front line, but Dong Zhuo wanted to run away with the emperor!

All the officials secretly thought, no, Dong Zhuo cannot be allowed to run away so easily.When the Kwantung Allied Forces come, it will be the day when the country's bandits will perish.

Yang Biao, one of the three princes, immediately said in a hurry, "Xiangguo, Guanzhong is dilapidated and scattered; now donate the ancestral temple and abandon the imperial mausoleum for no reason, fearing that the people will be alarmed; the world is so easy to move, and peace is so difficult, I hope Xiangguo will observe it."
