After Lu Bu fought Xiao Yu to a draw again, Dong Zhuo could no longer keep calm and scolded Lu Bu. Dong Zhuo quickly summoned Li Ru to discuss strategies!
Li Ru looked at the furious Dong Zhuo and said cautiously: "Father-in-law, judging from the current situation, Luoyang can no longer be defended."
"What? Can't defend anymore? Wen You! How long have you been staying in Luoyang? Are you going to retreat just like this?" Dong Zhuo was rarely dissatisfied with Li Ru's suggestion.
"My father-in-law, I have suffered a series of defeats for you, and my military morale has fluctuated. The Kwantung Allied Forces have been winning battles one after another, and their arrogance is high. They really shouldn't defend Luoyang anymore. Please listen to my son-in-law and abandon Luoyang as soon as possible! In addition, move the capital. Chang'an has two major advantages. One is that we can avoid entanglements with Yuan Shao and other coalition forces, and the other is that if we leave and the princes outside the pass lose their opponents, there will inevitably be internal fighting. By then, they will have to break up. As far as I know, outside the pass Although the coalition is large, it is composed of many people. In fact, they are wary of each other and have their own intentions. With many people and disunity, once they lose their common opponent, there is no reason for a long-term alliance."
Although Dong Zhuo was becoming increasingly sluggish, if he thought about it carefully, he knew that Luoyang would be captured sooner or later. He sighed dissatisfiedly. Asked: "Wen You, where should we retreat?"
"Father-in-law, haven't you heard the rumors?"
"Rumors? Never heard of it?"
"Children in the community sing that there is a Han in the west, a Han in the east, and the deer walks into Chang'an. It is not that difficult!"
"This" Dong Zhuo pondered for a long time after hearing this, and he was very worried about the gain and loss of the talisman: Luoyang is in a valley surrounded by all sides, although it is guarded by the Hulao Pass, the first pass in the world. But unlike Guandong, Luoyang relies entirely on the eastern Henan Plain for food and grass supplies. According to the current situation, if I try my best to defend Hulao Pass, it will most likely lead to a protracted battle! And its Kwantung Allied Forces have more troops than I do. With such a large population in Luoyang, food supply has become a big problem! Alas, there seems to be no other option but to move the capital!
Thinking of this, Dong Zhuo said sadly: "In this case, Wen You will be responsible for moving the capital!"
The next day, Dong Zhuo ordered the people in the court who disagreed with the move of the capital to be killed and those who were difficult to deal with were killed. Arrangements were made, and then he issued an order to move the capital within a time limit. He ordered all the more than one million residents of Luoyang to be forced to move to Chang'an. For a time, the road from Luoyang to Chang'an was crowded with migrating people, carriages and horses. Coupled with the lack of food, countless people died of starvation, injured and robbed and fought with each other, and corpses were strewn along the road. It was really a shocking and miserable picture of hell.
In order to prevent the Kwantung Army from occupying Luoyang, Dong Zhuo ordered the city to be set on fire. All palaces, official residences, private residences, etc. in Luoyang were completely burned down. An area of ??two hundred miles was turned into scorched earth, and no chickens or dogs were left.
Dong Zhuo also thought that there were many tombs of emperors and ministers outside Luoyang City, so he asked Lu Bu to lead a team to dig up all the big tombs, and transport the gold, silver, jade and all the treasures dug out to Chang'an
Before leaving, Dong Zhuo did not adopt Li Rudai's suggestion to order Xu Rong to guard Hulao Pass, but instead asked Lu Bu, who was waiting for crime, to guard Hulao Pass for a while!
Outside Hulao Pass, Lu Bu was fighting with Xiao Yu. "Brother Xiao, what you said is indeed true. Dong Zhuo has followed Li Rudai's suggestion and moved the capital to Chang'an. I'm afraid it's on the way now. Tonight, he will light a fire at the gate of the city as a sign. The credit for breaking Hulao Pass goes to you. "
"Brother Lu! You"
"Don't say any more, we will take action tonight. I have ordered Zhang Liao to guard the collection of books in the east view of the palace. You can go get them yourself!"
"Xiao Yu has remembered Brother Lu's friendship."
After saying that, the two fought for about 400 more rounds and then went back to camp.
Back to his base camp, Xiao Yu summoned all the soldiers to discuss the matter. When Zhang Fei heard this, he questioned: "Brother, can you believe what those three slaves say? What if it's a trap? Isn't it dangerous, brother?"
"Yes, brother. It's better to be more careful!" Zhao Yun also said anxiously.
Tai Shici who was standing aside looked at Xiao Yu and said anxiously: "My lord, this matter cannot be taken lightly!"
Only Guan Hai stroked his beard secretly and remained silent.
Seeing that everyone was opposed, Xiao Yu had no choice but to ask Guan Hai for his opinion, "Second brother, what do you think? Can Lu Bu believe it?"
"Brother, Hai thinks it is credible!"
Zhang Fei quit as soon as he heard this. Lu Bu had already killed his adoptive father with his own hands. How could he believe it so easily? "Second brother, Lu Bu can even kill his own adoptive father. What if the eldest brother falls into the trap?"
"No! In the past three days, the eldest brother has fought with Lu Bu for more than 2,000 rounds! I heard that Lu Bu is very skilled in martial arts, and his archery skills are even more mysterious. But he did not use archery! Besides, the eldest brother has been fighting many times. Falling into danger,??Lu Bu did not take the opportunity to make a sneak attack. From all aspects, Lu Bu does not look like a repetitive villain! But we must be on guard against others. Big Brother and Little Brother are willing to lead a pair of sergeants to prepare outside the city gate, in case it is a trick, so that we can rescue them in time! "
Xiao Yu looked at Guan Hai with a smile on his face. Guan Hai was really becoming more and more like a general! And he is not as overbearing as Guan Yu. "Okay! Second brother's analysis is reasonable! Tonight, second brother is preparing 2,000 soldiers and horses to rescue outside the city. The rest of the brothers will follow me into the city."
Seeing Xiao Yu give the order, Zhang Fei was about to say anything, but Xiao Yu glared back. Nuosheng had no choice but to go and prepare.
At night, Xiao Yu took advantage of the rest of the other princes to take advantage of the fact that Xiao Yu was responsible for the defense of the coalition forces at night. Xiao Yu led his troops to the gate of Hulao Pass secretly. He saw that a torch had been lit at the corner of the city wall and quietly Come to the city gate.
¡°Hum¡ª¡ª!¡± A rubbing sound came, and the gate of Hulao Gate was gradually opened. Lu Bu walked out slowly on horseback. He whispered: "Brother Xiao, you are ready, just come in!"
Seeing Lu Bu's boldness, Xiao Yu no longer acted pretentiously, and rode his horse to enter the city under the escort of Zhang Fei and others.
"Brother Xiao, this Hulao Pass will be handed over to you. Bu is gone, please take care of yourself! Sigh" After handing over the defense of Hulao Pass, Lu Bu said to Xiao Yu on his horse, cupping his hands.
"Brother Lu will keep his kindness in mind. If Xiao is useful in the future, please don't be polite. Brother Lu will try his best to repay Brother Lu for his kindness today!"
"It's easy to say. Now that Lu has taken note of your words, he might really want to take refuge with you in the future! Bu Duo said, let's go and say goodbye!"
"Brother Lu, take care!"
After Lu Bu took a deep look at Xiao Yu, he cupped his hands and led his troops towards Chang'an without looking back. "Take care of yourself!"
Xiao Yu came back to his senses and ordered to the people behind him: "Ziyi leads the men and horses and his second brother to station at Hulao Pass. Yide, you go to the east view of the palace to protect General Zhang Liao. We will collect all the books and transport them back to Tianshui overnight. !¡±
"yes, Sir!"
"Zhou Cang, you lead the bodyguards and follow me to do another thing!"
"Yes, lord!"
When I arrived at the entrance of the palace, I couldn't help but sigh when I saw that the magnificent building that once shocked Xiao Yu's soul had turned into ruins. "Zhou Cang, order all your men to search for the wells in the palace. If you find any, come and report to me. Remember to act in secret and never reveal any information! And if you find anything valuable, take it all away. Don¡¯t stay!¡±
"Yes, lord!" After saying that, he went down and told everyone to look for the well. Xiao Yu walked alone in this dilapidated palace, admiring the last glory of this big man!
¡°Sure¡ª!¡± Xiao Yu opened the door and walked into the palace where hundreds of officials had gathered before the court.
Walking onto the site where twelve emperors of the Eastern Han Dynasty sat, it has now become a filthy dragon case. Xiao Yu put down the Overlord Halberd in his hand and slowly sat down on his knees. "Alas In prosperity, the people are suffering; in death, the people are suffering. What can we do to prevent war and chaos at this time? What can we, the Han people, do to dominate the world's nations? Alas" Holding his hands on the dragon case, he looked at the changes in the hall. Xiao Yu frowned and whispered in the dilapidated hall.
¡°Clang¡ª¡ª!¡± There was a sound of a wooden case falling to the ground. A thin figure fell to the ground.
