There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

Dong Zhuo was expressionless, and said: "I'm not crazy. Luoyang is located in the middle, surrounded by mountains, surrounded by three passes as barriers, and the Han Dynasty has established a foundation for 200 years here. It is the largest city in the world! Such a prosperous place, you let the old man give it up to the princes? It's ridiculous!"

Li Ru shook his head and said: "Although Luoyang is a treasure land, it is close to Henan. But it is far away from the Xiliang base camp that Xiangguo has run for many years! Such a land surrounded by wolves, no matter how prosperous it is, how can it last for a long time?"

Dong Zhuo was silent when he heard the words, stood up, went to the big Pitu hanging in the hall and frowned for a long time, before slowly saying: "You mean to move the capital?"

Li Ru said in a low voice: "It's good to move the capital! Leave Luoyang to the princes, hehe, if the number one city in the world falls into the mouths of these mad dogs, how will they divide the food? Is it evenly divided? If divided Food is uneven, I wonder if these vicious dogs will bite each other?"

"Hahahahaha!" Dong Zhuo finally understood Li Ru's meaning at this moment, and laughed loudly: "Okay! Very good! It really is a wonderful strategy, and Qing is indeed my son-in-law!"

After the laughter, Dong Zhuo hesitated again: "But if you move from Luoyang, where should I live?"

Li Ru said with a smile: "Don't worry about this, Mr. Dong. There is a folk song that said: There is a Han in the east and a Han in the west. Only when the deer enters Chang'an can the world be as difficult as it is today. It can be compared with Luoyang." , that is naturally the western capital of Chang'an!"

"Chang'an?" Dong Zhuo touched his chin with a thick and secretive beard, and nodded while thinking: "This statement makes sense."

Li Ru's forehead: "Xiangguo wants to understand? Chang'an is also the old capital of the Han Dynasty. Its scale is not inferior to Luoyang. To the west of Chang'an is the fertile fields in Guanzhong. The Lord raised his troops here and united with our Liangzhou in the west. To the east, you can rely on Tongguan Hanguguan Hongnongheng mountains to resist the princes, it is really the place where the dragon thrives and the place of bravery!"

Although Dong Zhuo has many faults, he also has many advantages. The most obvious one is that he should be broken when he is ready.

Hearing Li Ru's suggestion at this moment, Dong Zhuo had no hesitation in his heart. He slapped the table hard and said, "Okay! I will move the capital to Chang'an and use Guanzhong as a barrier to defend it! Leave Luoyang to the princes, and the old man will be here Xizhou, sit and watch how they fight among themselves! How dogs bite dogs!"

Li Ru bowed slightly: "Xiangguo has a good opinion!"

Dong Zhuo decided to move the capital to Chang'an. He moved very quickly. He ordered the generals under his command to set up his own banner at Hulaoguan, and echoed it from a distance. The capital was moved to Japan.

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were all shocked when they heard the news, and hurriedly appealed to dissuade them!

Dong Zhuo was pressed for time, and he didn't have time to argue with them. Whoever dared to speak up would be killed without mercy.

At that time, Dong Zhuo held the emperor and court ministers hostage in Luoyang City, and ordered the soldiers to relocate the people of Luoyang forcibly, and went straight to Chang'an!

Before leaving, Dong Zhuo ordered the most precious gold jewellery, cultural relics and books in Luoyang to be forcibly removed!For a time, the avenue from Luoyang City to the west of the city was crowded with people and carriages that migrated. Due to the lack of food due to the hasty migration, countless people were injured and died due to the starvation and crowding and trampling each other.

Due to the chaos, Dong Zhuo allowed soldiers and horses to rob people by force, resulting in a lot of looting and brawls, and corpses scattered all over the road, which was a very miserable scene.

Even so, Dong Zhuo was still not satisfied. In order to disgust the princes who wanted to enter Luoyang, Dong Zhuo ordered Xiliang soldiers to burn Luoyang.

With an order, the palaces, mansions, and private houses in Luoyang City were all burned to the ground, and a radius of two hundred miles was turned into scorched earth. The once prosperous Luoyang City turned into a bloody hell within a few days.

The generals under Dong Zhuo, led by Li Jue, Guo Si, Zhang Ji, Fan Chou, etc., smashed the tombs of emperors and ministers outside Luoyang City, and transported all the gold, silver, jade and all the treasures excavated to Chang'an.

Such a shocking scene, like Shura's hell, can only be directed by Dong Zhuo in the world.

The news of Dong Zhuo's relocation of the capital was released, and was quickly reported to the alliance of princes outside Xingyang Pass by Kuai Ma.

After the battle against Lu Bu outside the Hulao Pass, the princes suddenly set up troops and horses for no reason. Haw responded with no actual action, and none of the princes stood up to respond to Cao Cao.

The pottery merchant knew in his heart that this was because the princes were getting closer and closer to Luoyang City.

The so-called sharing weal and woe but not sharing wealth and honor is talking about the group of people in front of us.

When Luoyang City was still thousands of miles away, the princes were united, positive, upward, and progressive, and sacrificed for the people of the motherland with blood and tears.

However, once the desired goal is close at hand, the emotion of how to share the fruits of benefits will naturally overwhelm the emotion of contributing to the country. It is human nature, and potters can understand it very well.

But now that Dong Zhuo has moved his capital to Luoyang, the princes still adopt a wait-and-see attitude. This is somewhat unreasonable, and some people must not be able to bear it.

The first one who couldn't stand it was Cao Cao!

Chapter 49 Insufficiency and conspiracy

Others can wait, but Cao Cao can't.

Others pursue it for profit, but Cao Cao cannot.

Others stop with silence, but Cao Cao wants to take advantage of the victory to destroy the thief!

A hero in troubled times, whether he is loyal or treacherous, how can he be like others?

In the tents of the princes, the scouts had just finished telling Dong Zhuo the situation of burning Luoyang, when Cao Cao stood up.

In an instant, the eyes of all the princes looked at him one after another.

"Meng De, what do you mean?"

Seeing Cao Cao staring at him with piercing eyes, Yuan Shao couldn't help feeling a little guilty, and turned his head to the other side unconsciously.

He knew this childhood friend too well, so he just unconsciously turned his head and changed the subject.

Cao Cao looked at Yuan Shao silently for a while, before he said: "Dong Zhuo burned the houses in Luoyang for more than [-] li, and then moved the whole city of Luoyang with a population of one million to go straight to Chang'an. All right! The people accompanying the army must be panic-stricken, and the generals under his command must also disperse. This is the time when their forces are weakest. If you don’t take this opportunity to chase and kill Dong Zhuo, when will you wait!?”

"Sure enough!" Yuan Shao knew Cao Cao too well. From the moment Cao Cao stood up, Yuan Shao roughly understood what Cao Cao meant.

But at this moment, the relationship between the princes in the allied army is extremely delicate, and Yuan Shao, as the leader of the alliance, must make overall arrangements.

Yuan Shao showed a look of embarrassment, and said: "Meng De, although Dong Zhuo was defeated in Hulao Pass for a while and Hua Xiong in Yangren County, his own strength did not suffer much. It's all here! You should know that Xiliang iron cavalry and Bingzhou wolf cavalry are both good at fighting in the plains. If they chase at this time, how can the old thief not send a strong army to break the rear? Field battles in the plains, our troops may not necessarily be the elite cavalry under the command of old thief Dong Opponent."

Cao Cao shook his head heavily, stomped his feet and said, "At the beginning, you are so confused! The old thief Dong Zhuo moved the whole city of Luoyang to Chang'an. There are no less than one million people, plus the supplies, how long does this team have to be? If it is to succeed When moving into Chang'an, his soldiers and horses must be supervised all the way. At that time, there will be public complaints along the way, and the long-distance migration front will inevitably lose sight of one thing and lose another. How can you let go of this great opportunity?"

Yuan Shao heard the words and did not express his opinion to Cao Cao, but turned to look at the princes.

"The matter is so important that Shao dare not make a judgment on his own. Dare I ask you what you think?"

All the princes heard the words and whispered to each other. The potter sat at the bottom, just watching from left to right, remembering everyone's expressions and expressions.

"Meng De's words are wrong!" Yuan Shu agreed with Yuan Shao this time, and said, "Dong Zhuo has experienced many battles and is good at using troops. Didn’t you tell us to divide the troops in three ways to attack Luoyang? Didn’t they all be seen through by the old thief? This pursuit is too risky, you’d better stay calm. Don’t lose your reputation just for a while.”

"Is the road more important to the Son of Heaven and the country, or our reputation?" Cao Cao replied dissatisfied.

Yuan Shu stopped talking, frowned, and his expression was quite annoyed, obviously dissatisfied with Cao Cao's verbal confrontation.

"Of course the emperor is important, but you can't act recklessly! Otherwise, instead of saving him, you will put the emperor in danger!" Yuan Shu fought back without showing any weakness.

Beihai prefect Kong Rong said: "Why is Meng De like this? Benchu ​​and Dalu are also thinking about the overall situation. The current situation is unclear. Our coalition forces are not as powerful as the other army. If we do not make a good move, it will easily lead to a disaster for the overall situation. "

Shangdang prefect Zhang Yang also got up: "Meng De, think twice!"

Hearing this, Cao Cao took a deep breath and looked around at the princes from all walks of life. After a while, he said quietly, "Do you all think so?"

All the people in the tent were silent.

"None of them have the same idea as Fuck?"

The tent is full of people, and they don't say a word.

"Good! Good! Good! Very good!" Cao Cao stepped back to the edge of the tent step by step, he sneered, and his sharp eyes scanned everyone like knives. Those eyes were like a scraper that pierced through the bones. Whoever looked at him couldn't help it a chill.

"Shuzi is insufficiency and conspiracy!!"
