- "Now the soldiers in Hulao Pass have no fighting spirit and their morale is low. General Lu sent his villain here in the hope that the Prime Minister will send reinforcements to relieve the danger of Hulao Pass."
As the saying goes, what kind of generals are there, there are what kind of soldiers. Wei Xu blamed all his faults on the dead Hou Cheng, while Lu Bu also blamed all his faults on Cao Xing, who was captured by the righteous army You Meng.
"What!! All 20,000 armored cavalry were annihilated!!! 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's power, and he only had 50,000 men under his command. In order to build these 50,000 armored cavalry, it can be said that he spent countless gold, silver and thoughts. Now that nearly half of it was damaged, it was like cutting off half of Dong Zhuo's flesh. How could Dong Zhuo not feel distressed!
Li Ru, who was beside Dong Zhuo, kept shrinking his eyes and remained silent, seeming to be thinking about the current situation of the battle.
Dong Zhuo was so angry that his whole body was shaking violently. His brain was swallowed up by the anger and he could no longer think. At that moment, he looked at Li Ru and exhaled several breaths of evil breath and asked.
"Wen You, what should we do now!? Although more than 20,000 bandits have been annihilated today, their number is still close to 100,000. If we rashly divide our troops to aid Hulao, I'm afraid it will end up destroying Jiguan's originally great fighting opportunities. All were lost. And the Hulao had to be saved. If the Hulao was broken, another bandit army led by Cao Cao would march to Luoyang City.
Today, the Holy Emperor and all the officials of the imperial court are all in Luoyang City. There is no room for failure in Luoyang City! "
Li Ru's face was solemn, his whole face was tense, his mind was racing, and he was thinking of countermeasures rapidly. Dong Zhuo saw Li Ru thinking and didn't dare to disturb him, so he could only remember to pace back and forth.
Just when Dong Zhuo was so nervous that his whole fat body broke out into sweat for the third time, Li Ru finally opened his mouth. His eyes were extremely cold, and Dong Zhuo's generals below could not help but tremble when they saw his eyes.
"The current battle situation in Jiguan and Hulao Pass is not optimistic. Rather than being restrained by them, Mr. Xiangguo, we, the Liangzhou army, might as well give it a go and gather our troops in one place.
The bandit army is composed of various princes. As seen today, they are not united. Now they are divided into two alliances: left and right. According to recent inquiries, the left and right alliances have an agreement. Whoever arrives at Luoyang City first will be able to take the final position as leader.
Based on my understanding of Yuan Benchu, he definitely would not want Cao Mengde to overpower him, and Cao Mengde is bound to win the position of leader of the alliance. Therefore, if we withdraw our troops from Jiguan and Hulao Pass 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. The bandit army gathered together will be even more chaotic than when they were separated into the left and right alliances! "
Li Ru was about to continue, but was suddenly interrupted by Dong Zhuo.
"No, absolutely not. Let them join forces in Luoyang, then Luoyang will be in danger!"
"Haha, Lord Xiangguo. Luoyang is just a small place. The reason why it is so important is that it is the capital city. Today, the emperor and all the officials of the court are here. And why, we can't move these people and build another one. What about a capital city?¡±
Dong Zhuo's eyes suddenly widened, and he immediately thought quickly in his heart. Then Dong Zhuo's face slowly turned happy and he sighed.
"It's not your words, but I don't understand. This plan is feasible. However, where will this move be done?"
"The old capital of Chang'an is prosperous, but there is also the danger of Weihan. There are Tongguan and Wuguan nearby that can stop thousands of troops, so the capital can be moved here."
"Good, Chang'an is closer to Liangzhou than Luoyang. If something unexpected happens, the Prime Minister can also mobilize troops and horses from Liangzhou to rescue. However, this rash move of the capital will probably make people panic. Wenyou, we need one more person Suitable reasons.¡±
"Don't worry, my lord, I have made up my mind. We can make up nursery rhymes and let the children in Luoyang sing nursery rhymes every day in the market. This nursery rhyme is a Han in the west and a Han in the east. It will be easy for a deer to walk into Chang'an. .
When the nursery rhyme became popular among the people, the Prime Minister came out again to respond to the nursery rhyme, saying that the first Han in the west was Ying Gaozu who flourished in Chang'an, the western capital, and passed down the twelve emperors. The Han in the east was Ying Guangwu who flourished in Luoyang, the eastern capital. Today, it is also Legend of the Twelve Emperors. The destiny is coming together. In order to respond to the will of heaven and resolve the current national crisis, the Prime Minister decided to move the capital. This can appease people's hearts. "
"Haha. Good! Good! Then we will act according to Wenyou's plan! Move the capital to Chang'an!"
After Dong Zhuo and Li Ru agreed, they left Niu Fu, Zhang Ji and other generals to guard Jiguan to buy time for the capital move. At the same time, they ordered the scouts sent by Lu Bu to go back and inform Lu Bu of the news of the capital move. Let him be patient for the time being and stay at the border. After the transfer of the capital is completed, he will be called back. After the explanation was completed, Dong Zhuo and Li Ru rushed back to Luoyang at night.
A few days later, Dong Zhuo suddenly returned to Luoyang, but made no big move after his return. Then suddenly word spread in the Luoyang market?There is a Han in the west and a Han in the east. A nursery rhyme about a deer walking into Chang'an. This nursery rhyme spread very quickly, and soon all the children in Luoyang City were catching it.
A few days later, Dong Zhuo summoned all the officials in the court to the Wende Palace to announce something important. All officials in the court were afraid of Dong Zhuo and did not dare not come.
In the presence of His Majesty Wen De, Dong Zhuo entered the palace with a sword and walked around the court hall with the stride of a dragon and a tiger, showing that he was the emperor of the day. The officials in the court seemed to have become accustomed to Dong Zhuo's arrogance. The imperial guards outside the Wende Hall were now Dong Zhuo's men. As long as Dong Zhuo gave an order, these imperial guards would immediately rush into the court and destroy all those who resisted. Dong Zhuo's men took him out of the palace and hacked him to death.
"Luoyang, the eastern capital of the Han Dynasty, has been established for more than 200 years, but its power has declined. Ben Xiangguo looked at the sky at night and saw that Chang'an was really prosperous. Recently, I listened to this nursery rhyme in Luoyang. The meaning of this nursery rhyme must be that all the princes are Yes, I understand. This is the call of God to move the capital of the Han Dynasty to Chang'an. The Prime Minister has discussed with the emperor and decided to move the capital to Chang'an. You should prepare for this and do not delay the opportunity to move the capital."
Situ Yang Biao came down and gritted his teeth. In the end, he was still no match for his conscience. He took a step forward and looked at Dong Zhuo and said.
"Master Xiangguo, this nursery rhyme is just a child's play. How can we take it seriously? If we donate the ancestral temple and abandon the imperial mausoleum without any reason, we may suffer the suffering of the people of Luoyang. It is easy to shake the world, but it is difficult to calm it down!"
Dong Zhuo narrowed his eyes, put his big hand on the sword on his waist unconsciously, and shouted coldly.
"Are Master Yang's words intended to hinder the prosperity of the Han Dynasty?"
Yang Biao¡¯s speech seemed to arouse the bloodshed of many people. Taiwei Huang Wan and Situ Xunshuang came out with advice one after another, saying that moving the capital would do a lot of harm without any benefit and would only make the people restless.
However, the remonstrances of these people not only did not make Dong Zhuo less willing to move the capital, but instead aroused Dong Zhuo's anger. Dong Zhuo pulled out the sword from his waist, shouted angrily, and planned to kill people in the court. Fortunately, Li Ru dissuaded him 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 other officials in the DPRK saw this, no one dared to speak out. Dong Zhuo asked in a vicious voice if there was anyone who objected, and all the officials bowed to the sun and agreed. From beginning to end, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, who was sitting on the dragon throne, said nothing and could only watch with cold eyes.
As soon as the news of the capital relocation came out, nearly one million people in Luoyang were panicked. Dong Zhuo followed Li Ru's plan and sent 5,000 Liangzhou armored cavalry troops to capture thousands of wealthy households in Luoyang. They placed flags with the words "Rebel the minister and rebel against the party" written on their heads, and killed them all outside the city, taking their wealth. To supplement the military posture.
At the same time, Dong Zhuo branded all the officials who were disciples of the Yuan family in Runan as traitors, killed them, and stole their family wealth.
Dong Zhuo continued to seek wealth and murder in Luoyang City, hoarding huge sums of money, and committed all kinds of evil. Luoyang City was full of sorrow and resentment, and injustice was stained with blood. A few days later, Dong Zhuo sent Li to urge General Guo Si and lead 10,000 soldiers to go from house to house in Luoyang, enter the houses with knives, and force the people to move away. Here, the sergeants were allowed to rape their wives and daughters and seize property. If there was resistance, the Liangzhou sergeants would kill people wantonly in broad daylight with white blades in their hands. The sound of crying for a moment can be said to shake the world.
The matter of moving the capital is proceeding step by step. Almost a hundred people in Luoyang died every day under the oppression of Dong Zhuo's troops.
At the same time, the Hulao Pass on the other side was closed.
Three days ago, Lu Bu, the guard general of Hulao Pass, suddenly ordered the army to leave, leaving less than 8,000 troops to guard Hulao. The Hulao guard saw that the righteous army's right alliance was powerful, and after guarding for three days, he took the initiative to offer the pass.
The Righteous Division's Right Alliance 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 Hulao Pass and said to Wen Han next to him.
"You see, Lu Bu left in a hurry. As far as Cao knows, Ji Pass has not been broken by Yuan Benchu. Why was Lu Bu so anxious to leave Hulao? Could it be that something big happened in Luoyang?"
Wenhan¡¯s brows were furrowed, and his face was getting uglier and uglier. His hands were tightly fisted, and he didn¡¯t even notice that his nails were digging into the flesh and bleeding.
It seems that Dong Zhuo is planning to burn Luoyang and move the capital to Chang'an! Wen Han clearly remembers the historical records that Dong Zhuo took Chang'an, the western capital of Emperor Xian, and killed almost all the wealthy merchants in Luoyang before leaving, seizing their wealth. Then they forcibly robbed the palace of gold, jewelry, cultural relics and books, and burned palaces, temples, government offices and homes. Nearly 100,000 people who did not leave in time were burned to death. He also coerced nearly a million Luoyang people to go westward with him, resulting in no survivors within 200 miles around Luoyang, all the houses and houses were desolate, and there was no human habitation.
"Moreover, these millions of people were threatened by Dong Zhuo's soldiers and horses with knives along the way. Each of the people was in one team and the army was in one team. They dragged each other and made countless people die in the ravines. If anyone was late, they would order the sergeants to hold swords and kill people on the road. All the way to Chang'an, corpses were everywhere.Hundreds of thousands of people died! !
Regardless of how much impact Dong Zhuo had on later generations when he burned down Luoyang, just looking at the hundreds of thousands of people he burned and forced to death, his crime was heinous! ! This can be said to be Dong Zhuo's greatest evil act in his life.
In Wenhan¡¯s mind, tragic scenes of hell on earth emerged. In the city of Luoyang, which was engulfed in flames, more than 100,000 people were swallowed up by the blazing flames. They kept stretching out their hands and screaming in agony.
Groups of people were oppressed by Liangzhou sergeants with knives. One by one, they were killed because they moved slowly or offended the Liangzhou sergeants. Their bodies were thrown into the wilderness, their relatives cried bitterly, and they were mercilessly killed again.
The more Wenhan thought about it, the more the veins on his face bulged, and his whole face was twisted together with hatred.
¡°Extraordinary, extraordinary!!!¡±
After Cao Cao felt the violent hatred bursting out from Wen Han's body, the anxiety on his face became a little heavier. After drinking several times, Wen Han finally reacted.
"Meng De! Lu Bu returned to Luoyang in such a hurry. Dong Gou must have wanted to coerce the holy officials and the people of Luoyang to move the capital! Dong Gou is a ruthless, cruel and unkind character. This move of the capital will definitely lead to a lot of evil and evil. , so that the Luoyang area is in trouble!
Cao Cao's slender eyes suddenly widened. This was the first time he saw Wen Han's anxious and hateful expression, and he knew that Wen Han's words would not be exaggerated.
"What! Dong Gou wants to move the capital! Bu Fan, please calm down first. How did you guess this! If Dong Gou wants to move the capital, where will he move to?"
"I can't tell you the reason in detail at the moment. But now, our two alliances of righteous armies are closing in on Luoyang, and Dong Gou is afraid that our righteous armies will reach Luoyang and save the Holy Emperor. That's why the move to move the capital is not impossible. If so, My guess is good, he must move the capital to Chang'an. Chang'an is in danger of losing the capital, and there are Tongguan and Wuguan nearby that can block thousands of troops. It is also close to Liangzhou, so this place is the best choice for him to move the capital!"
Cao Cao's heart beat wildly when he heard that moving the capital was a big deal, and as Wen Han said, with Dong Zhuo's character, if he really wanted to move the capital, he would definitely commit a lot of heinous crimes.
"It's extraordinary, you can be sure of this!"
"There is not even 100%, but there is also 70%!"
Cao Cao clenched his steel teeth, his eyes kept shrinking, and his whole body seemed to be exerting force, but he felt like he was unable to use up his strength.
"Bufan, what do you want Cao to do to stop Dong Gou from committing great crimes and harming the people!"
Wenhan's expression condensed, and he suddenly said something that Cao Cao would never forget in his life. - Didn't finish reading?
