Jagged hegemony of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 48 Dong Zhuo Moves the Capital
Inside Sishui Pass, Dong Zhuo looked at the generals who were talking in front of him with a livid face.I thought it would defeat the Kwantung Allied Forces, but I didn't expect it to be a tie and lost [-] soldiers. I feel a big loss of face.

"Li Ru, what do you think we should do now?" Dong Zhuo asked Ji Yu Li Ru.

"Master Yuezhang, my son-in-law has two options for Yuezhang. One is to continue to consume with the Kwantung Allied Forces. When they are almost exhausted, it is time to withdraw." Li Ru said the first day plan.

"Huh? No, the Kwantung Army is exhausted, and my army should be exhausted. Liu Biao of Jingzhou, Liu Yan of Yizhou, Liu You of Yangzhou, and Liu Yu of Youzhou are all royal family members and have never raised troops. If my soldiers all If they run out, won't they let them slaughter them, this plan is wrong!" Dong Zhuo denied Li Ru's first plan.

"The second thing is to move the capital to Chang'an. Chang'an is adjacent to the lord's Longxi. As long as people are sent to guard Hangu Pass, the coalition forces will be blocked from Hangu Pass and cannot enter Chang'an. This is the example of strengthening Qin during the Warring States period. And now there are nursery rhymes on the street saying: "There is a Han in the east and a sweat in the west, and the deer will go to Chang'an, so there will be no difficulties. It is God's will to move the capital!" Li Ru said the second plan.

"Yes. This plan is very good!" Dong Zhuo kept nodding his head in agreement with this plan.

That night, Dong Zhuo directly led his army back to Luoyang, and ordered Lu Bu to lead the Feixiong army directly into the palace and the ministers' homes, put the emperor Liu Xie and other ministers in the carriage and marched to Chang'an first, and ordered Li Jue Guo Si and other generals to lead the soldiers to expel Luoyang The people went to Chang'an.He hastily led his personal guards back home and ordered the whole family to pack their luggage and prepare to go to Chang'an.

Besides, Li Jue and Guo Si led the soldiers to expel the people. What is expulsion?The people of Luoyang were miserable. Dong Zhuo beheaded thousands of rich merchants in Luoyang on the charge of treason in order to collect gold, silver, food and grass. The tomb was dug up, and countless gold, silver and jewels were buried with him.

After the allied forces captured Sishui Pass, Yuan Shao ordered the repairs and did not move forward. Cao Cao's request to send troops several times was rejected by Yuan Shao on the grounds that the army was not ready.

At the end of February, the city of Luoyang was deserted, and wild dogs could be seen eating dead bodies everywhere. There were only a few hundred families who had not escaped, hiding in their cellars and not daring to come out.

Dong Zhuo looked at the palace before leaving, and thought, "It's a pity to leave such a good thing to these people, it's better to burn it down." So he ordered the palace to be set on fire.Immediately, soldiers set fire to the palace in Luoyang.

On the day when Dong Zhuo set fire to the palace, Liu Wei led his army into Luoyang City. Looking at the burning palace, he sighed, "Hurry up, it's too late! Come on, put out the fire. And let me go to every well in the palace to salvage it, and if you find anything, come and tell me immediately!"

"Yes!" After hearing the order, all the generals led their soldiers to put out the fire, and when Liu Wei bought it, the prince naturally couldn't stay in a place where the fire was burning, so he walked towards the harem.Looking at the huge harem, Liu Wei felt infinitely emotional: "Damn it, it's good to be the emperor. Such a big harem can accommodate more than 3000 people, even [-] beauties!"

As he was walking, he heard whispering voices, immediately pricked up his ears, drew out his sword, and walked gently towards the direction of the voice.

When Liu Wei walked to the place where the sound came from, he found that there was a rockery in front of him, and there were no houses or people around him. Liu Wei felt his hair stand on end, and his back felt cold, thinking: "Could it be haunted? Things like time travel can happen, and haunting is not impossible!"

Liu Wei was courageous and shouted: "Where is the evildoer here, don't show up quickly, otherwise don't blame my lord for being ruthless!" He said so, but his body had already been oiled, and he could slip away at any time preparation.

Suddenly a hole appeared on the side of the rockery, and Liu Wei was so frightened that he turned around and ran away.

Just as I was about to run, I heard two voices: "My lord, don't blame me, the little girl Ren Hongchang (Feng Yuan) sees my lord." I saw two women walking out of the rockery. Although it was already dark, they still couldn't hide their beauty. appearance.

"Ren Hongchang? Ren Hongchang seems to be Diao Chan, but who is this Feng Yuan? I have never heard of such a person when I was studying the history of the Three Kingdoms before!" Where is Liu Wei trying to figure out who this Feng Yuan is, but he can't figure it out. When he got up, he asked, "Who are the two girls? Why are you here?"

"Reporting to the lord, the little girl is a female official in this palace. Because Dong Zhuo sent soldiers into the palace to rob, the little girl took Feng's younger sister to hide in this rockery." Ren Hongchang replied first.

"Oh! I see." Liu Wei nodded and looked at Feng Yuan again.

"The little girl is the daughter of Feng Fang, the right captain of the assistant army. She came to the palace to visit Sister Ren yesterday, but she did not expect to catch up with this incident. That's why she hid in this rockery with Sister Ren." Feng Yuan replied. road.

"Oh, it turned out to be Feng Fang's daughter. No wonder. In history, Yuan Shu was greedy for Feng Fang's daughter's beauty, so he took Feng Fang's daughter as his concubine. Well, since these two beauties fell into his hands today , then how can we let it go so easily." Thinking of this, Liu Wei showed a wretched smile on his face.

"My lord, my lord!" Ren Hongchang shook his hand in front of Liu Wei when he saw that Liu Wei was giggling, almost crying out.

"Oh, oh! I remembered a happy thing." Liu Wei hurriedly covered himself.

"Since the two of you have nowhere to go now, and the world is not peaceful, you should follow me first, and make plans after the war subsides." Liu Wei said in an orderly tone.

"Yes!" The two replied together.From their point of view, Liu Wei has the military power in his hands, and he can still appear in the palace. He is still a prince, and it would be nice to follow him.

"Report, a corpse was fished out of the well in the south of the hall." A soldier ran to Liu Wei and told Liu Wei in a whisper after seeing two other women.

"Lead the way quickly!" Liu Wei said hastily.

"Yes!" The soldier led Liu Wei to the well in the south of the hall...
