The Horse of the Three Kingdoms Treads the World

() After leading his army back to Luoyang, Dong Zhuo finally made up his mind to move the capital.And when he put forward this decision at the court meeting, it attracted a lot of opposition at that time, and the officials expressed their dissatisfaction one after another: "Moving the capital is a major event, how can we say that it is easy to move? Luoyang City has become the capital of my Han Dynasty. For a hundred years, Chang'an has been abandoned for a hundred years, and moving away in a hurry will inevitably make it difficult for the emperor and officials to adapt..."

"That is, I heard that the population of Chang'an is much smaller than that of Luoyang, and it is located in the west with inconvenient transportation. How can it be the capital of a country?"

Everyone was talking about different reasons. In fact, it was a matter of interests, because the roots of these officials were in Luoyang. Once they left here, they would have to pay a lot to re-establish their roots.Moreover, they knew better that Dong Zhuo's real reason for moving the capital was to avoid the Kwantung Allied Forces' crusade. If they followed him to Chang'an at this time, they would be oppressed by him even more, so everyone was determined not to move the capital.

In fact, Dong Zhuo had already guessed the reaction of these people.But seeing them boldly oppose it in front of him now, he was still very unhappy, so he snorted coldly at that time: "What do you know? A certain yu's move of the capital is also for the sake of my great man's society. When thinking of my emperor Gaozu, Chang'an was established as the capital, and it lasted 200 years to make the Han Dynasty prosperous. Then, Wang Mang usurped the throne, and after Emperor Guangwu finally established the world, he set the capital at Luoyang, and it took another 200 years. Now the world is in chaos again. It's time to move the capital again.

"A certain want to move the capital is to follow the example of Emperor Guangwu, so that my great man can rule from chaos. So today, for the sake of the court and the country, the capital must be moved. If anyone dares to object, they will all be convicted of disorderly officials and confiscated. His home!"

As soon as Dong Zhuo said this, the ministers who were still speaking generously suddenly had nothing to say.They are all aware of the current situation in Luoyang City. They are all under the control of the Xiliang Army. Once Dong Zhuo is angered, the end will naturally be extremely miserable.

"But Grand Master... moving the capital is a major event after all. Is it too hasty to make such a hasty decision? Anyway, we must first announce to the world, and then worship the heavens, the earth and the ancestors, and finally..." The official in charge of the ancestral temple couldn't help but stepped forward Offer your own opinion.But before he finished speaking, Dong Zhuo interrupted him with a wave of his hand: "There is no need to be so troublesome, as long as the emperor and you leave Luoyang and go to Chang'an, as for the rest, I will take care of it myself! It's settled like this, tomorrow From now on, prepare to move the capital!"

"Mingri..." The officials were even more dumbfounded when they heard these words, but under Dong Zhuo's menacing gaze, they immediately didn't dare to say anything more.Apparently he had already made up his mind to move the capital, and his arms couldn't twist his thighs, so they could only agree with a bitter face.

Early the next morning, the whole of Luoyang began to get busy.First, Liu Xie, the emperor who lived deep in the palace, was welcomed out, and then he was escorted by Xiliang army elites in a carriage, or escorted to the west.At the same time, Dong Zhuo also dispatched all his troops to drive away the court officials and left Luoyang with him.

These important ministers in the court are all from rich families, so it is naturally not an easy thing to go to Chang'an with the emperor.However, under the threat of the Xiliang army armed with knives and guns, they had no choice but to abandon their fields and homes, and boarded the westward road with their old and young.For a moment, the whole city of Luoyang was in a state of panic, with endless shouts.

In addition to court officials, Dong Zhuo naturally would not let the rich households in Luoyang City go.As the capital of a country, Luoyang City has tens of thousands of ordinary wealthy households with rich family backgrounds. This time, they were also forced by the Xiliang Army to abandon their homes and businesses, and set foot on the road west with only a part of their floating wealth.

All the way from Luoyang to the west, there are cries everywhere. The people of the country are most likely to relocate, but this time they are forced to leave their rooted homes and embark on an unknown journey. No one can help. Weeping.

Five days later, the entire Luoyang city was already half empty. The departure of officials and wealthy households caused Luoyang city to become deserted in an instant. Here, so no one looted it.

The reason why Dong Zhuo stayed in Luoyang was not only that he was worried that the Kwantung Allied Forces would attack suddenly at this time, thus destroying his plan to move the capital, but more importantly, he wanted to take away all the wealth in the entire Luoyang City and not leave it to the Kwantung Allied Forces. a cent.

No matter what era it is, the most important thing in a war is money. Dong Zhuo knows very well that the land in Xiliang is barren, and it may be difficult to support his [-] men, or even more in the future, so this time he intends to take the entire Luoyang All the wealth is gone.In this way, we can continue to fight with the Kwantung Allied Forces in the future without worrying about logistical failure.

The property that the officials and wealthy households did not have time to take away because they were in a hurry to leave was subsequently transported out of their houses by Dong Zhuo, and then sent to Chang'an by a special person. This is also a good income .But while these were going on, Dong Zhuo turned his attention to another place full of treasures, but no one dared to take it—the tombs of the emperors of all dynasties.

Dong Zhuo knew very well that the tombs of the emperors of the Han Dynasty must be buried with countless belongings. If he could keep all these things for himself, he would be able to provide sufficient logistical support for the army.However, he is also more aware that stealing and digging the tombs of the emperors of all dynasties is a serious crime, and if it is spread out, it will inevitably attract criticism from all over the world, but this has to be weighed.

However, Dong Zhuo finally made a decision after thinking of the countless treasures buried in the mausoleum, and the possibility that when the Kwantung Allied Forces arrived, they would also attack these properties, which would bring him endless troubles.However, all the generals under his command were obviously unwilling to get involved in this matter. Although they were all veterans who got out of the battlefield, they still resisted the thought of going into the cemetery to steal property.

Dong Zhuo was also very embarrassed about this, and didn't know who to send.At this time, Li Ru suggested to him: "My lord, why don't you let Lu Bu steal and dig the tomb. It was because of his failure that our army was defeated before the Hulao Pass. This time, it is just for him to give up his efforts." Sin. And..." At this point, Li Ru's eyes flashed wildly, and he lowered his voice and said something.

But his words won Dong Zhuo's heart. He nodded immediately and said, "This is indeed a good way to kill two birds with one stone. Just do as you said. Let someone give Lv Bu an order to take someone to the royal tomb. Take out everything that can be used, and then take it to Chang'an!"

?????

When Luoyang City was in chaos, Ma Yue still lived leisurely in his residence.He didn't leave Luoyang City first with the others, because he felt that before that he could come up with a few strategies for Dong Zhuo to defeat the enemy.But after returning to Luoyang, Ma Yue sent Wang Feng and other trusted people to Xiliang. Next, he will have a bold plan to implement, and it is obviously not enough to rely on Lu Bu or Hua Xiong Yes, there must be forces that truly belong to him to intervene.

After finishing everything, what Ma Yue had to do was to wait.Wait until Dong Zhuo transports everything here to the cart, and then ask him how to rely on Luoyang City to win another victory, so as to boost the morale of Xiliang's army.

However, it was not Dong Zhuo's order that Ma Yue waited for first, but Lu Bu's request for help.After receiving Dong Zhuo's order to steal and dig the tombs of the Han Dynasty, Lu Bu felt very embarrassed, and hurried to ask Ma Yue what he should do.

"This Dong Zhuo clearly wants to put me to death. On the surface, he wants me to pay off my merits, but once I really do this, I'm afraid everyone in the world will regard me as an enemy. Afterwards, Dong Zhuo You can use this as an excuse to execute me, so that you can stop the mouths of the world and get rid of me, a defeated general, which is really a good plan!" Lu Bu said very angry and disturbed: "Zhongling you Tell me what should I do?"

"If Brother Feng refuses to act according to Dong Zhuo's wishes, I'm afraid he can use this as an excuse to attack you now?" Ma Yue looked very calm and analyzed.

"It's natural, he's already wanted to kill me!" Lu Bu nodded.

"So, I think you should follow Dong Zhuo's wishes now, so as to save your life for the time being. As for what you are worried about, you will be hated by the world in the future, I don't think it should be taken too seriously. .Firstly, everyone in the world knows that you are only following orders, so this crime is more likely to fall on Dong Zhuo. Secondly, although the act of stealing and digging up the imperial tomb is indeed detrimental to Yin morality, it is despised by the world. But these are all illusory things after all, and the general who has fought in hundreds of battles should not be afraid of these words."

"You mean, let me do what Dong Zhuo said?"

"That's right. And you should do it with all your heart, so that they can't find any reason to question you. As for the people in the world condemning you, that's a matter of the future. Maybe we have already done everything we should do by then. Why worry about what they say?" Ma Yue said again.

After hearing these words, Lu Bu was silent for a while, and then laughed: "Are you trying to use this matter to force me to cooperate with you? Well, it's not too much to worry about at this point, just follow This act!"
