Chapter 333 Moving the Capital

"Now in Hulao Pass, the soldiers have no fighting spirit and their morale is low. General Lu sent a villain here in the hope that Lord Xiangguo will send reinforcements to relieve the danger of Hulao Pass."

As the saying goes, there are such soldiers as there are generals.Wei Xu blamed all his faults on the dead Hou Cheng, and Lu Bu also blamed all his faults on Cao Xing, who was captured by Yishi Youmeng.

"What!! [-] armored cavalry were wiped out!!! Lu Fengxian is so incompetent!!!"

When Dong Zhuo heard the news, he was so angry that his whole fat body jumped up. This armored cavalry was the foundation of his Liangzhou army, and he only had [-] men under his command.In order to build these [-] armored cavalry, it can be said that he spent countless gold, silver and thoughts.Now nearly half of it is lost, it's like cutting off half of Dong Zhuo's flesh, how can Dong Zhuo not feel bad!

Li Ru, who was beside Dong Zhuo, kept shrinking his eyes and remained silent, as if he was thinking about the current battle situation.

Dong Zhuo was so angry that his whole body was trembling violently, his brain was engulfed by anger at this moment, and he couldn't think anymore, so he just looked at Li Ru and asked with a few breaths of malice.

"Wen You, what should we do now!? Although more than 2 bandits have been annihilated today, the number of them is still close to [-]. If we rashly divide our troops to help Hulao, I'm afraid that Jiguan will be fine. The opportunity to fight was lost, and the Hulao had to be rescued. If the Hulao was broken, another bandit army led by that Cao thief would march to the city of Luoyang.

Today, the Holy Majesty and the officials of the court are all in Luoyang City, and there is no room for loss in Luoyang City! "

Li Ru's face was sullen, his whole face was tense, his mind was spinning, and he was thinking about countermeasures quickly.Seeing Li Ru thinking, Dong Zhuo didn't dare to disturb him, so he just remembered to walk back and forth.

Just after Dong Zhuo sweated for the third time, Li Ru finally opened his mouth.His eyes were extremely gloomy and cold, and all the generals Dong Zhuo who were present couldn't help but tremble when they saw his gaze.

"Whether it is Jiguan or Hulaoguan, the current battle situation is not optimistic, but rather than being restrained by them, Mr. Xiangguo, our Liangzhou army should give it a go and gather troops in one place.

The bandit army is composed of various princes, as seen today, their hearts are not in harmony, and now they are divided into left and right alliances.According to recent investigations, there is a covenant between the left and right alliances, and whoever arrives at the city of Luoyang first will be able to sit on the final leader of the alliance.

And according to Wu's understanding of Yuan Benchu, he would definitely not want Cao Mengde to overwhelm him, and Cao Mengde is bound to win the position of leader.So if we withdraw our troops from Jiguan and Hulaoguan now and let them join forces in Luoyang, no matter who comes to Luoyang first and takes the position of leader, the other side will be dissatisfied.On the contrary, the combined bandit army will be even more chaotic than when the left and right alliances were separated! "

Li Ru was about to continue, but was suddenly interrupted by Dong Zhuo.

"No, absolutely not. If they join forces in Luoyang, wouldn't Luoyang be in danger!"

"Hehe, Mr. Xiangguo. Luoyang is just a small place. The reason why it is so important is that it is the capital, where the current emperor and court officials are all here. Why, we can't transfer these people and build another What about a capital?"

Dong Zhuo's eyes widened suddenly, and he immediately thought quickly in his heart, then Dong Zhuo's face slowly turned happy, and he sighed.

"It's not what you said, but I really don't realize it. This plan is feasible. However, where is all this going to be?"

"The old capital Chang'an was prosperous, and there was a risk of Weihan. There are Tongguan and Wuguan in the vicinity that can hold back thousands of troops, and the capital can be moved here."

"Good, Chang'an is closer to Liangzhou than Luoyang. If something unexpected happens, Ben Xiangguo can also dispatch troops from Liangzhou to rescue. But moving the capital rashly, I'm afraid it will make people panic. Wenyou, we need another Appropriate reason."

"My lord, don't worry, I've made up my mind. We can create nursery rhymes and let the children in Luoyang sing nursery rhymes in the market every day. This nursery rhyme is a Han in the west and a Han in the east. When the deer walks into Chang'an, it will be easy. .

After the nursery rhyme became popular among the people, Xiangguo came out again to respond to the nursery rhyme, saying that the first Han in the west was in response to Gaozu who flourished in Chang'an, the western capital, who passed on the Twelve Emperors, and the first Han in the east was in response to Guangwu's prosperity in Luoyang, the eastern capital. Biography of twelve emperors.Fortune closes.In order to respond to God's will and solve the current national crisis, Xiangguo wanted to move the capital.So reassuring. "

"Haha. Good! Good! In this way, we will act according to Wen You's plan! Move the capital to Chang'an!"

After Dong Zhuo and Li Ru made an agreement, they left Niu Fu, Zhang Ji and others to guard Jiguan to buy time for moving the capital. At the same time, they ordered the scouts sent by Lv Bu to go back and inform Lv Bu of moving the capital.Let him be patient for the time being and guard the pass according to danger. After the transfer of the capital is completed, he will be called back.After the explanation, Dong Zhuo and Li Ru rushed back to Luoyang in the starry night.

A few days later, Dong Zhuo suddenly returned to Luoyang, and did not make any major moves after returning.Then suddenly there was a rumor in Luoyang market that there was a Han in the west and a Han in the east.The deer walks into Chang'an, only then can there be no difficult nursery rhymes.This nursery rhyme spread very quickly, and soon all the children in Luoyang City were catchy.

After a few days, Dong Zhuo immediately summoned all the officials in the court to Wende Hall, saying that there was something important to announce.All the officials in the court were afraid of Dong Zhuo and dared not not come.

Under His Royal Highness Wen De, Dong Zhuo entered the palace with a saber, walking around the court hall like a dragon and a tiger, with the attitude that he is the current emperor.And the officials in the court seem to be used to Dong Zhuo's presumptuousness. The imperial guards outside Wende Hall are now Dong Zhuo's men. As long as Dong Zhuo gives an order, these imperial guards will immediately rush into the court hall and put everything against them. Dong Zhuo's men grabbed him out of the hall and hacked him to death.

"Luoyang, the eastern capital of the Han Dynasty, has been established for more than [-] years, and its vitality has declined. I watched the sky at night in my prime minister, and saw that the prosperity was in Chang'an. Recently, I listened to this nursery rhyme in Luoyang. The meaning of this nursery rhyme is presumably gentlemen. Everyone understands. This is God’s call to move our capital to Chang’an in the Han Dynasty. The Prime Minister has already discussed with the Holy Master and decided to move the capital to Chang’an. You should hurry up and prepare for this matter, and don’t delay the timing of moving the capital.”

Facing Situ Yang Biao, he gritted his teeth, but finally he was no match for his conscience, so he took a step forward and said to Dong Zhuo.

"Master Xiangguo, this nursery rhyme is just a joke, how can it be taken seriously. If you donate the ancestral temple and abandon the imperial mausoleum for no reason, the people of Luoyang may suffer. It is easy to move the world, but it is difficult to keep it safe!"

Dong Zhuo narrowed his eyes, unconsciously placed his big hand on the treasured sword at his waist, and said coldly.

"The words of master and apprentice Yang are intended to prevent the prosperity of the Han Dynasty?"

Yang Biao's speech seemed to arouse the blood of many people.Taiwei Huang Wan and Situ Xun Shuang stepped out of advice one after another, saying that moving the capital would do all kinds of harm but not any benefit, and would only make the people feel uneasy.

It's just that these people's admonitions not only did not make Dong Zhuo less interested in moving the capital, but instead aroused Dong Zhuo's anger.Dong Zhuo drew out the treasured sword in his waist, glared and shouted, and wanted to kill someone in the court hall.Fortunately, Li Ru dissuaded them in time, and Dong Zhuo gave up. He dismissed Yang Biao, Huang Wan, and Xun Shuang from their official positions and demoted them to common people.

When the other court officials saw it, no one dared to speak up. Dong Zhuo asked in a nasty voice whether there was any objection, and all the officials agreed with him.From the beginning to the end, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty sitting on the dragon chair didn't say a word, he could only watch with cold eyes.

As soon as the news of the capital move came out, nearly one million people in Luoyang panicked.According to Li Ru's plan, Dong Zhuo sent [-] armored cavalry troops from Liangzhou to arrest wealthy households in Luoyang. There were thousands of them. To make up for the military posture.

At the same time, Dong Zhuo branded all the officials who were disciples of Yuan's family in Runan as rebels, killed them, and collected their family wealth.

Dong Zhuo kept seeking money and murdering in Luoyang City, collecting huge sums of money, and doing all kinds of evil.A few days later, Dong Zhuo sent two generals, Guo Bang and Li, to lead [-] soldiers to go door-to-door in Luoyang, entering houses with knives, and forcing the people to move out.Here, the sergeants prostitute their wives and daughters and seize people's property. If there is any resistance, the Liangzhou sergeants will kill people wantonly in broad daylight with white knives in their hands.The sound of crying for a while can be said to shake the world.

The matter of moving the capital is proceeding step by step.And nearly a hundred people in Luoyang died under the oppression of Dong Zhuo's soldiers and horses almost every day.

At the same time, the prison on the other side was closed.

Three days ago, Lu Bu, the guard of Hulao Gate, suddenly ordered the army to leave, leaving less than [-] troops behind to guard Hulao.The general guarding the tiger saw that the Yishi Youmeng was very powerful, so he offered to pass after guarding for three days.

Yishi Youmeng captured Hulao Pass, and all the princes under it were overjoyed.But except for Cao Cao and Wen Han.

Cao Cao looked at the traces of Lu Bu's army leaving outside the Hulao Pass, and said to Wen Han next to him.

"You can see that Lu Bu left in a hurry. As far as Cao knows, this pass has not been broken by Yuan Benchu. Why is Lu Bu leaving the tiger prison in such a hurry? Could it be that there is a big change in Luoyang?"

Wen Han's brows were deeply furrowed, and his complexion became more and more ugly. His hands unconsciously clenched his fists tightly, and he didn't even realize that his nails were inserted into the flesh and blood was bleeding.

It seems that Dong Zhuo is going to burn Luoyang and move the capital to Chang'an!Wen Han clearly remembered the records in history that Dong Zhuo hijacked Emperor Xian's western capital, Chang'an, and killed almost all the rich merchants and rich merchants in Luoyang before leaving, taking their wealth.Then he forcibly robbed the gold, jewelry, cultural relics and books in the palace, and burned palaces, temples, government offices and homes. Nearly [-] people who did not leave in time were burned to death by him.He also coerced nearly a million Luoyang people in Luoyang to go west with him, resulting in no relics within [-] miles around Luoyang, all the houses were desolate, desolate and desolate, and there was no reinhabitation.

Moreover, these millions of people were threatened by Dong Zhuo's soldiers and horses with knives along the way. Each group of people was dragged and detained by each other, causing the people to die in the ravine.If anyone was too late, the soldiers were ordered to hold knives and kill people on the road, all the way to Chang'an, with corpses scattered all over the field, and tens of thousands of people died because of this! !

Regardless of how much Dong Zhuo burned Luoyang and how much impact it had on future generations, just talking about his burning and forcing to death nearly hundreds of thousands of people, his crimes are heinous! !This can be said to be Dong Zhuoqi's biggest crime in his life.

In Wen Han's mind, scenes of hell on earth surged up.In the city of Luoyang, which was in flames, more than [-] people were engulfed by raging flames, and they kept stretching out their hands and screaming miserably.

Teams of civilians who were oppressed by Liangzhou sergeants with knives were massacred one by one because they walked slowly or offended the Liangzhou sergeants, and their corpses were thrown into the wilderness.

The more Wen Han thought about it, the more the veins on his face stood out, and his whole face was twisted together with hatred.

"Extraordinary, extraordinary!!!"

After Cao Cao felt the violent hatred erupting from Wen Han's body, the urgency on his face became a little bit heavier, and after drinking a few times, Wen Han finally came to his senses.

"Meng De! Lu Bu returned to Luoyang in such a haste, it must be that Dong Gouyu wanted to coerce the holy officials and the people of Luoyang to move the capital!! With Dong Goulang's tyrannical and unkind character, moving the capital this time will definitely cause massacres and evil Let’s do it, and the whole area of ​​Luoyang will be ruined!”

Cao Cao's slender eyes suddenly enlarged, it was the first time he had seen Wen Han's anxious and hateful expression, he knew that Wen Han's words would not be exaggerated.

"What! Dong Gou wants to move the capital!! Bufan you calm down first, how did you guess this! If Dong Gou wants to move the capital, where will he move to?"

"It's difficult for me to explain to you in detail. But at present, our volunteers from the left and right alliances are pressing against Luoyang. Dong Gou is afraid that our volunteers will come to Luoyang and save the Holy One. That's why we moved the capital. It is not impossible. If it is I guessed right, he will definitely move his capital to Chang'an. Chang'an is in danger of Weihan, close to Tongguan and Wuguan to keep out thousands of troops, and close to Liangzhou, this place is the best choice for him to move his capital!"

Cao Cao's heart was beating wildly when he heard this, the matter of moving the capital is a very important matter, and as Wen Han said, with Dong Zhuo's character, if he really wants to move the capital, he will definitely commit a lot of heinous crimes.

"Bufan, you can be sure about this!"

"Not [-]%, but also [-]%!"

Cao Cao clenched his steel teeth, his eyes kept shrinking, his whole body seemed to be exerting strength, but there was a feeling that his strength could not be used.

"Idiot, what do you want Cao to do to stop Dong Gou from committing crimes and harming the people!"

Wen Han's expression froze, and he suddenly said something that Cao Cao would never forget in his life.
