Mengjin Pass, Dong Zhuo Xingying.

It was late at night, and the majestic shadow of Mengjin Pass was reflected on the undulating waves under the pass, and the cool breeze outside the tent was blowing, and the waves were bursting.

Dong Zhuo looked at Li Ru beside him with an annoyed expression, and the irritability and anger in his heart became more and more numerous.

Li Ru did not go out with Dong Zhuo today, but just rushed from Luoyang. It's a pity that his arrival not only failed to save the rout of the Xiliang army, but even added fuel to the fire.

He brought two pieces of news, one about Xiao Pingjin and the other from the Revolving Gate.

Yuan Shu, Wang Kuang, Kong, Yuan Yi, Han Fu and Qiao Mao commanded 90,000 troops to point directly at the revolving door, and the generals under Yuan Shu's command even beheaded the two deputy generals Li under the revolving gate, Li was already unable to resist and was in danger;

Sun Jian, Bao Xin, Ding Yuan, Zhang Yang, Liu Dai and Zhang Chao waved 100,000 swords at Xiaopingjin, Sun Jian personally led his four generals to attack Xiaopingjin at the head of the city, and Xiaopingjin guarded the general Guo Yan in an emergency.

The roof leak happened to rain overnight, and the ship broke and encountered a head wind. In the next battle of Mengjin Pass, Dong Yue, Yang Ding and Hu Zhen were killed, which made Dong Zhuo feel quite depressed, but as soon as Li Ru came, Dong Zhuo already felt that the death of these three people in Mengjin Pass was nothing.

Compared with one unlucky thing, there are only two unlucky things, not to mention that these are three bad things!

Sure enough, it is a disaster, Dong Zhuo leaned on the Hu bed, his eyes were staring at a pair of copper bells, and he glared at Li Ru viciously.

The first battle was lost in the evening, but Chengguan was still in the hands of Dong Zhuo after all, and there were more than a dozen powerful generals under his command, tens of thousands of Xiliang Iron Cavalry and the Northern Colonel Fifth Army in Luoyang City, and he was still confident enough to block the Kwantung Coalition Army on the Yellow River.

However, once Xiaopingjin and Revolving Gate Pass are defeated, not to mention that Luoyang has been exposed to the vision of the Kwantung Coalition Army, it is difficult to say whether he Dong Zhuo can return to Luoyang alive. Still want to stick to Mengjin Pass? That's a joke!

Xiaopingjin and the revolving gate are like two swords of Damocles hanging high above their heads, and they are also like the last two straws that crush the camel.

Dong Zhuo only felt that his mouth was dry, licked his lips, and looked at Li Ru with a pant: "Now that the situation is critical, the Kwantung Coalition Army's three-way army is Kou Sanguan, what is the strategy for Mr. to retreat from the enemy?" ”

"The troops of the three passes are not strong, the generals who defend the city are stretched, and there are even fewer commanders who stand alone."

Li Ru spread his hands and sighed, suddenly saw the bloodshot in Dong Zhuo's eyes, and sighed leisurely in his heart: "Since ancient times, we have been inseparable. The first Qin Mugong and King Chu Cheng were married, and if the two gangs stumbled on marriage, they would resist the strong Jin. During the time of Emperor Yuan, in order to protect the border, the queen of the palace was given the title Zhaojun, and he was married to Hu Han Evil Shan Yu. Why not give it a try? ”

"Try? Try your sister! Dong Zhuo kicked over the small table beside him, pointed at Li Ru and scolded, "Are you a pig's brain?" Lao Tzu asked Li Yun to join forces with Sun Jian and marry the daughter of Lao Tzu's family to his son, but Li was scolded by him and returned. Do you want Lao Tzu to be ugly again! ”

Looking at Dong Zhuo's angry expression, Li Ru said stubbornly: "At the beginning, the Jiangdong sick cat refused the kindness of the lord, and it was his dog meat that could not be served. Confucianism means that Mo Ruo will marry the children of the lord to the son of Yuan Shu and Yuan Highway! ”

Belch? Dong Zhuo slightly restrained the anger on his face and looked at Li Ru suspiciously.

Li Ru then explained: "The lord, the fame of the Yuan family, the fourth generation and the third prince, does not disgrace the lord's daughter. Secondly, although Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao are brothers, they have many disagreements.

Yuan Shao was ambitious and the head of the Kwantung Coalition Army, Yuan Shu was rampant and forgot his righteousness, and he looked down on Yuan Shao but was quite jealous. If the lord can benefit Yuan Shu and marry him, the two Yuan will be evil, and the danger of the revolving door will be solved! ”

"Hmm!" Dong Zhuo stroked his beard and nodded, "Wen You's words are quite reasonable. But after all, Yuan Shu is far away in the revolving door, and the danger of Xiaopingjin and Mengjin Pass is imminent, and the far water can't save the near fire, what other strategies do you have? Take fire, for example

Attack? Digging a river? ”

Li Ru shook his head: "Lord, how to attack on the Yellow River?" Although the pontoon bridge under Mengjin Pass connects the two banks, the pontoon bridge has long been wet by the Kwantung Coalition Army, and it can only be ignited unless it is ignited with fire oil, but in a hurry, we can find so much fire oil there?

What's more, the Kwantung Coalition Army has already sent heavy troops to protect this pontoon bridge, and we have no chance to attack at all.

In the same way, the plan of digging up the river described by the lord is not advisable.

First, Mengjin and Xiaopingjin are both under the noses of the Kwantung Coalition Army, and if this is the case, it must be seventy or eighty miles upstream to not be easy to wipe; Second, the Yellow River is turbulent and about 100 zhang wide, and it cannot be done without hundreds of thousands of people for tens of days or even months. ”

"This can't be, it can't be anything, do you want to let the original appearance wait for death here!" Li Ru vetoed Dong Zhuo's intention, and Dong Zhuo stood on the verge of going berserk again, eager to tear Li Ru into slices of meat immediately.

Li Ru closed his eyes and pondered for a long time, then suddenly opened his eyes and stared at Dong Zhuo intently: "It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and if you want to solve the danger of Xiaopingjin and Mengjin Pass, your subordinates are stupid, and there is really no other way." But to solve the danger of the lord, his subordinates still have a plan! ”

"What's the plan?"

"Thirty-six plans are the best plan!"

"You mean to let Benxiang leave Mengjin Pass?"

"Nope! Not to leave Mengjin, but to leave Luoyang! ”

"Leaving Luoyang? You let Ben Xiang avoid the edge of the Kwantung Coalition Army and move the capital elsewhere? ”

"Exactly!"

"Do you know that although Luoyang can go down in the morning and dusk, it has been in the capital for more than 200 years, and the matter of moving the capital can be said to be very important, like a mud boat crossing the river, and a little carelessness will be imminent!" Dong Zhuo's eyes lifted out of the corner of his eyes, his gaze was like a torch, firmly locked on Li Ru.

"My subordinates know!" Li Ru looked at Dong Zhuo categorically and nodded, "And the subordinates also know: Luoyang is located in the Central Plains, Baguan Duyi is surrounded by mountains on all sides, and the five rivers and mountains are arched around the city.

The people who rely on it are none other than the steepness of Songyue in the Qinling Mountains, the steepness of Yique barberry, the danger of the Yellow River and the solidity of the Eight Passes. Now the three passes are in danger, once the coalition forces detain the pass, the 300,000 troops in the eastern part of the Kwantung will pass through Juexian, Yanshi, and Pingxian to Zhikou Luoyang.

Although there is a towering ancient wall Jincheng soup pool, there is no help of Qinling Songyue and no guard of the Yellow River, and it is still precarious. Therefore, in my opinion, Xiaopingjin and Mengjin Pass cannot be defended, and Luoyang must not be defended, so why don't you simply jump out of Luoyang and return to the base camp of our Xiliang army! ”

"Chang'an?"

"Exactly!"

"Must Chang'an?"

"It has to be Chang'an!"

Li Ru nodded, simply stood up and pointed to the map on the desk, and explained: "In the Western Zhou Dynasty, King Wen set up Fengjing in Xiqi, and King Wu ascended the throne and set up Hojing. In the pre-Qin period, Qin Xiaogong built the capital Xianyang. Until I rejuvenated the Han Dynasty and built the capital Chang'an again, it can be said that it was prosperous for a while!

Chang'an is located in Guanzhong, there are not only the fertile fields of Longshu, but also the convenience of animal husbandry of Qianghu, and the Weishui extends in all directions, which can be described as a thousand miles of Jincheng and the country of abundance. I have built the capital of the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years, after Emperor Jing, Emperor Wu and Emperor Guangwu repaired several times, Chang'an City has been dozens of miles in radius, and there are many palaces in the city.

Although Chang'an was also destroyed by Wang Mang and Emperor Gengshi, Changle Palace, Weiyang Palace, Gui Palace, North Palace, Jianzhang Palace and Mingguang Palace are all there, and Shanglin Garden and Kunming Pond coexist. If the capital is moved here, we only need to repair it slightly, and we don't need to make a big move.

Second, the mountains and rivers in the world, but Qin medium is dangerous. Qinguan 1 is as dangerous as a letter, guarding the throat of Kuohan, according to the plateau in the west, bordering the absolute stream in the east, connecting the Qinling Mountains in the south, and Sai the Yellow River in the north. According to the danger of one hundred and two rivers and mountains, it can tower the hope of the princes, lift the world's shape and victory, and it is a must pass through the fortress from Luoyang to Chang'an.

During the period of Emperor Wen, Fu Jiayi, the prince of Changsha, wrote in "On the Passage of Qin": So the people of the Six Kingdoms... Taste ten times the land, millions of people, knock on the pass and attack Qin. The Qin people switched extended

The enemy, the division of the Nine Kingdoms, patrolled and did not dare to enter. If the main army is far away, why worry about the Kwantung coalition army?

Third, the lord got up and the state was strong in Liangzhou, and the west was Liangma, rampant in the world. There are many heroes and elite soldiers among Qianghu, and there are many warriors in Liangzhou under the command of Xiangguo. Niu Fu sat in Sanfu, and Han Sui and Ma Teng soldiers in Liangzhou.

Once the war in the northwest starts, the lord can recruit the warriors of Xiliang, Qianghu and Haohan, with millions as pawns, and lead Han Sui and Ma Teng as reinforcements to each other's horns, even if the Kwantung coalition army is million, what is there to fear? ”

Dong Zhuo got up and paced back and forth a few steps, and his heart was also full of will, but his face was still sad, and his brows were tightly condensed into a Sichuan character: "What Mr. said is good, but the ministers and lords of the central government will definitely oppose the sudden relocation of the capital, so how should they deal with it?" ”

A trace of cunning flashed from Li Ru's eyes, and he arched his hand and said: "When my subordinates were in Luoyang a few days ago, I heard that the children in the market sang a song of Wei Wei everywhere, and my subordinates thought that this Wei Wei was in line with the body of Xiangguo. ”

"Huh? What's the weft? ”

"There is a Han in the west and a Han in the east. When the deer enters Chang'an, there is no difficulty. Speaking of Yu Wei, Li Ru's face seemed to glow, "The subordinates have thought about this in private, and the first Han in the west should be Gaozu Wang in the western capital of Chang'an." The first Han in the east is fulfilled in the Guangwu Emperor Wangyu in the eastern capital Luoyang. Thirteen generations of emperors, the round of heavenly fortune.

And when Emperor Wu was in charge, he looked around and said: Han has six or seven misfortunes, and the law should be ordered again, who should be the descendants of the clan? Six, seven, and forty-two generations of Han, when Tu Gao also. The misfortune of the former Han Dynasty was Wang Mang's usurpation, and the descendants of the clan, Emperor Guangwu, revived the Later Han Dynasty, and who should be the misfortune of the Later Han Dynasty?

The surname of the lord comes from the descendants of Emperor Zhuan of the Gaoyang clan, Zhuo, high and straight; Dong, Gaoyang also, Chang'an Imperial Palace, the imperial capital of the Han Dynasty on the Guanzhong Plain. Shouldn't the misfortune of the six or seven years of the Later Han Dynasty happen to be on the lord? The lord moved the capital to Chang'an, which is in line with the number of days. ”

Dong Zhuo shook his sleeves and snorted coldly: "Hugh is talking nonsense, I deeply feel that the first emperor Longen and the first emperor and the empress dowager Dong are of the same clan, today's son is young and does not know the government, so he is the herdsman of heaven, and once the son of heaven grows up, he will return to power." Such a great rebellion, and no more lies!

However, the relocation of the capital is really urgent, so let's do as you say. Tomorrow, you will return to Luoyang with your own picture and start to handle it immediately! ”

Li Ru nodded and asked, "Lord, if you return to the capital tomorrow, who should you hand over to the defense of these three levels?" ”

Dong Zhuo sighed and raised his head, and a gleam flashed from the bottom of his eyes: "I got up and went to Xiliang, and there are countless brave people under my command, but now that Dong Yue, Hu Zhen, and Yang Ding have died in battle, there are not many generals used to guard Mengjin Pass."

Xu Rong is deeply strategic, and the mechanism changes, although he was folded in the hands of the Kwantung Coalition Army in the past, he is not a crime of war, and he can be the commander of Mengjin. Zhao Cen is familiar with the army, Li Meng is brave and good at fighting, and the two can be his deputy commanders.

Huaxiong bravely crowned the three armies, experienced battles for a long time, and Jiangdong Tiger Sun Jian fought many times, knowing himself and the enemy, he could be transferred to Xiaopingjin to replace Guo Yan, and let him be the commander of Xiaopingjin.

Back then, Liangzhou Sanming was powerful and Qianghu, and Duan Xuan was the younger brother of the Liangzhou Sanming Duan clan, which was quite popular with Duan Shenchuan, and he was also skilled in arching and horses. Simmer to the revolving door, as the commander of the revolving door. The rest of Dong, Fengxian, Guo Yan, Li, Zhang Ji, Fan Chou, Zhang Xiu and others returned to Jingshi Town to guard Luoyang with their own ministers! ”

This? The lord is really still suspicious of the generals, but poor Duan Xuan is only because he is not the lord's henchman, and he has followed him to the eighth lifetime!

That's it, anyway, it's a dead friend who doesn't die and a poor man!

A slight chill flashed in Li Ru's heart, but his face became more and more respectful, and he hugged his fists and bowed deeply: "Then the revolving door is closed to Yuan Shu?" ”

"Even if this matter doesn't work out, it's disgusting and disgusting to the two children of the Yuan family, it's good for me to wait for a good show of brothers staring at the wall from a distance!" Dong Zhuo waved his hand, looked at Li Ru cunningly, and got rid of an old fox who had become a spirit for thousands of years!
