Chapter 23 Dong Zhuo moved west and burned Luoyang

Liu Bei, who understood the mind, did not show a wise and martial side.

On the contrary, after the princes expressed their willingness to accept Liu Bei's dispatch and change to a new mode to attack the Tiger Prison Pass, Liu Bei still let everyone fight separately.

In his words.

"You are all great talents in the world, and your ideas must have their own merits, and the wisdom of one person is not enough to withstand the wisdom of your great talents, so you will fight separately for the time being."

"If you believe me, if you fight for half a month, the enemy will naturally retreat."

Although everyone had doubts in their hearts, but Liu Bei swore so much, there was no way, and everyone could only continue to take their troops to continue to attack the Tiger Pass, but they couldn't see the hope of successfully capturing the checkpoint, and the princes began to relax and grind foreign workers.

"Sir, is it done?"

After finishing the princes' meeting, returning to his military tent, Liu Bei asked Chen Chen anxiously how things were going.

Although he trusted Chen Chen very much, the stalemate in the Tiger Prison now made him look uneasy.

If he doesn't enter Luoyang for a day, then he will not feel at ease for a day.

"Almost, just wait for the good news."

Chen Chen was quite relaxed, smiled, and comforted Liu Bei for a while, so that he didn't have to be too anxious.

What method did Chen Chen use to affirm that the Tiger Prison Pass would definitely retreat?

In fact, there is no special feature, that is, to spread the news that he has learned, which is used in the intelligence system that Chen Chen built in Luoyang back then.

Although the intelligence system has been damaged because of the turmoil in Luoyang, there is no problem in spreading rumors or something.

"There is a Han in the west and a Han in the east. When the deer enters Chang'an, there is no difficulty. ”

In his previous life, whether this rumor was spread by the princes' coalition or Li Ru, in fact, Chen Chen did not know, but after observing Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, who might do this kind of thing on the coalition side, he found that there was nothing abnormal about them, and Chen Chen concluded that this might be a means for Li Ru to achieve his ideas.

Li Ru hoped that Dong Zhuo would be able to move the capital to Chang'an.

Because Chang'an is closer to Longxi, it is easier to clean up the aristocratic families in Chang'an than to be able to be mastered by Xiliang, and it is of great significance for Li Ru to give full play to his talents and realize his dreams by establishing a new imperial court in Chang'an.

Dong Zhuo's westward move is not a bad thing for Liu Bei Group at all.

Therefore, Chen Chen naturally would not destroy Li Ru's plan, and even helped him in advance to help spread this nursery rhyme among the people.

This even later made Li Ru wonder if there really was such a causal fate.

"Wenyou, what do you say next?"

Dong Zhuo sat next to the table and looked at the map spread out on the table.

Actually, he's quite annoyed.

How long has he been in power, all the bulls, ghosts, snakes and gods have jumped out, and there are many people who have jumped up and down in Luoyang recently, in fact, Dong Zhuo wants Lu Bu and them to return to Luoyang.

But he knew that Tiger Prison Pass was the best place to defend the pass, and if they retreated to Luoyang, they might be surrounded on all sides.

Either defeat the alliance of princes, or be trapped in this Luoyang City.

Dong Zhuo didn't want to see this situation, because the hometown base camp he built for himself in Longxi was to be a bomb shelter for himself, and if he was cut off in Luoyang, then there would be no point in him coming to Luoyang.

"The rebels are cunning, with three enemies and one, Wenhou is newly defeated, and the Tiger Prison Pass has no heart to fight again, so it is better to lead the troops back to Luoyang, abolish Luoyang as the old capital, and move the new emperor to Chang'an, in order to comply with the nursery rhyme. Recently, nursery rhymes have spread widely in the market, and there is a saying, 'There is a Han in the west and a Han in the east.' When the deer enters Chang'an, there is no difficulty. The son-in-law thought about it again and again, and felt that in this statement, 'a Han in the west' echoed Gaozu's prosperity in Chang'an, the western capital, and inherited 12 emperors; ”

"There is reincarnation in the way of heaven, this is the will of heaven, and my father-in-law should comply with the will of heaven and move the capital to Chang'an, which is safe."

Li Ru gave his opinion, everything was going according to his plan, although he always felt that something was weird, but he had no way to find that point, so he could only give up for the time being.

Although Dong Zhuo supported Li Ru's plan, he was still a little greedy for the prosperity of Luoyang.

Although Chang'an is the old capital, it has actually been invaded and burned down many times, and it is not as prosperous as Luoyang today.

Seeing Dong Zhuo's somewhat sad face, Li Ru naturally knew the reason.

"Father-in-law doesn't need to worry, we just need to move this Luoyang to Chang'an, why worry that this Chang'an is not prosperous?"

"Moreover, we can't leave a prosperous Luoyang for the princes and rebels, just in the opinion of a son-in-law."

"We should remove what can be removed from the whole of Luoyang, and destroy what cannot be removed on the spot."

"Leave a black Luoyang, I believe the princes and rebels should like it, right?"

Li Ruru smiled elegantly and casually, his suggestion opened up a new angle for Dong Zhuo, which is not bad, directly transplanting the prosperity of Luoyang to Chang'an, maybe not letting Chang'an directly reach the level of prosperity of Luoyang, but it is enough for Dong Zhuo to enjoy himself.

Unconsciously, the theme of Dong Zhuo's life began to shift to pleasure.

Why, because Dong Zhuo found a book in the palace, which recorded all kinds of plans for human pleasure, this book was compiled by Liu Hong, perhaps after Dong Zhuo, a native bun in the countryside, saw the happy days of people in the city, he embarked on this road out of control.

"Then I'll leave this matter to you."

Dong Zhuo waved his hand, but Li Ru did not retreat.

"This matter will definitely be blocked, I don't know ...... father-in-law"

"If there is a violation of the order, you have full discretion."

"Now there is a shortage of money and food in Luoyang, and there are still a lot of assets waiting to be seized by the Yuan family and other doors, and there are some old friends of the Yuan family who are side by, not as good as us?"

Li Ru made a move, Dong Zhuo glanced at it, then nodded and acquiesced.

The smile on his face was even stronger, and Li Ru left the Dong Mansion satisfied, he was going to do a good job in Luoyang.

For those high-ranking families, he finally has a reason to wield his butcher's knife unscrupulously.

After eliminating the control of these families over the imperial court, and then experiencing the reshuffle of power after moving westward to Luoyang, Li Ru believed that he would definitely be able to control Dong Zhuo's system and completely control the government.

When the time comes, with the backing to rush to the aid, sit in Chang'an, give the Central Plains to these greedy princes, watch them fight and fight internally, wait for a long time, and then come out to clean up the mess.

In fact, Li Ru's idea is also to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes.

And his idea of moving west to Chang'an was also to give up the central plot of the Han Dynasty occupied by Luoyang, so that these princes who were united could fight.

The story of two peaches killing three soldiers is still fresh in his memory.

A dilapidated Luoyang with no practical value, how many princes can be killed?

Li Ru is still looking forward to it.

In fact, Li Ru is the real poisoner.

He does what he says, and he is ruthless and merciless.

Under his orders, the 5,000 iron horsemen of the Xiliang Army went to the streets day and night to search the streets, going everywhere to see which family had money, and the rich families in Luoyang who had slightly more money were all looted and killed by them.

A flag of "anti-ministers and anti-party" was planted on their backs, and all of them were pushed outside Luoyang City to be beheaded.

And these rich businessmen and wealthy families who were killed, all their property was confiscated and became the military capital of the Xiliang Army.

In this killing feast in Luoyang, no one's crime needs to be proven, and no one's death needs a reason.

The people of Luoyang were driven out of their homes by the Xiliang army, and were forced to bring their belongings and follow the Xiliang army to move west to Chang'an.

And the Western Liang army are all murderers from Liangzhou, and on the way, in Luoyang City, there are rapes, burning, killing and looting everywhere.

These things are not only done by the Xiliang army, but some mobs who saw the situation in this way also participated in this feast.

They are killing people they are not used to seeing on weekdays, occupying the wives who have been coveted for a long time on weekdays, and robbing other people's food and property.

It's a carnival of looters, it's a festival for criminals.

But it is the pain of the city of Luoyang, and it is also the day of its death.

In addition to the humiliation of the people, the royal tomb was also excavated by Dong Zhuo to collect the jewelry wealth that accompanied the burial.

This time, Lu Bu was Dong Zhuo's real confidant, son-in-law, and general in command, so Dong Zhuo did not leave the lack of virtue such as digging the emperor's tomb to Lu Bu.

However, Lu Bu was still responsible for burning the entire Luoyang in the end.

There was no general in the Tiger Prison Pass, and those defenders couldn't stop the princes' coalition for long.

But when the princes' alliance took the Tiger Prison Pass and rushed to Luoyang, the entire Luoyang had fallen into a sea of fire, fortunately, there were still many buildings and mansions without open flames, Liu Bei also organized everyone to actively rescue this ancient capital, with Liu Bei's command, as well as the strict military discipline of the state army, this time the princes' alliance army was a lot more honest, everyone searched for resources and people according to their respective designated areas, and there were not too many people who wanted to make trouble.

First, the ruined city of Luoyang is no longer worth it.

Second, no one thinks that they have generals under them who can beat those fierce generals under Liu Bei's account.

The rescue work in Luoyang was carried out in an orderly manner, but when Liu Bei stepped into the palace and the royal mausoleum, he was still shocked by Dong Zhuo's audacity.

"How dare he dig up the imperial tomb? Burn the palace? ”

Although Liu Bei was shocked, there was a high probability that it was not his ancestor lying in the imperial tomb, so he was just frowning.

"Meng De is going to pursue Dong Zhuo, let's go too, and by the way, take revenge for their burning of Luoyang."

Chen Chen rubbed his eyes, and when he really arrived at the scene, he knew how immoral Dong Zhuo was, digging people's ancestral graves......
