Chapter 143: Tie, Move the Capital
When Li Hu and Lu Bu fought for two hundred rounds, Lu Bu gradually showed fatigue, and in the face of Li Hu's stormy attack, he only had the ability to parry, but he had no power to fight back!
Lu Bu had just fought with Guan Yu and the others, and he had already consumed a lot of physical strength, and being able to fight Li Hu at this time was already very impressive!
Li Hu saw that Lu Bu was physically exhausted, so he had the idea of cherishing each other as heroes, and decided to let Lu Bu go, in Li Hu's opinion, Lu Bu was worthy of him!
It is worth mentioning that Lu Bu at this time is far from being as infamous as he was later, and now he has only a bad reputation as a traitor seeking glory at most, as for the three-surname slave, it is purely a loss of Zhang Fei's mouth, and the current Lu Bu is not a three-surname slave, and people follow Dong Zhuo wholeheartedly to eat and drink spicy!
This fight, no winner or loser! It ended in a draw!
Li Hu had the intention to let Lu Bu go, but Yuan Shao had no such plan, every time he thought of the Yuan clan who died under Dong Zhuo's butcher's knife, Yuan Shao almost wanted to go crazy!
Just as Lu Bu was retreating, Yuan Shao raised his sword high and decisively gave the order to chase and kill!
The allied soldiers covered all the way to the Tiger Prison Pass, and Dong Zhuo saw that something was wrong, so he hurriedly ordered someone to close the city gate and pull up the drawbridge.
Some backward Xiliang soldiers were locked up outside the Tiger Prison Pass, and finally became the souls of the allied soldiers without exception!
Lu Bu was defeated, the Xiliang army suffered countless casualties, Yuan Shao became complacent, and with a wave of his hand, he gave the order to withdraw the troops!
Cao Cao looked at Yuan Shao with a shocked face, then turned his head to look at the allied soldiers whose morale was like a rainbow, and couldn't help but sigh, and said secretly: "The army is like a bamboo, taking advantage of the situation to rush to the tiger prison, but the original plan is indecisive and misses the opportunity!" This time I will raise troops to rebel, I am afraid that it will be in vain! ”
Liaodong camp!
Li Yang and Li Hu returned to the camp hand in hand, and when they walked outside the tent, they saw a man in a Confucian shirt, who had been waiting here for a long time!
Li Yang looked at the visitor with a puzzled expression, frowned, and said, "Who are you?" ”
The person who came bowed and saluted: "Li Dao greets Anxiang!" ”
"Li Dao?" Li Yang was slightly stunned, looked at the person who came, and said quietly: "Why did Your Excellency come this time?" ”
Li Dao arched his hand at Li Yang and said, "I came by the order of the prime minister!" ”
"What did Dong Zhuo send you for?" Li Yang asked curiously!
"The only person respected by the prime minister is the monarch and the marquis!" Li Dao gave Li Yang a thumbs up and said, "Today, I will be sent to marry the prince!" ”
"Marriage?" Li Yang looked at Li Dao with an uncertain expression!
"The prime minister has a daughter who wants to marry the general's brother..."
Li Wei was halfway through his words, but was interrupted by Li Yang waving his hand and said, "Shut up!" ”
"Dong Zhuo is against the sky and bullying the royal family, I hate to punish his nine clans, to thank the world! Anken marries a traitor? The more Li Yang spoke, the more angry he became, and then knocked all the rare treasures brought by Li Dao to the ground, and scolded him: "Get out!" Get out of here! ”
Li Yang glared at Li Dao angrily and said, "Go back and tell the old thief, hurry up!" ”
Li Dao wanted to persuade him again, but when he saw Li Hu snorting coldly with an angry face, Li Dao was so frightened that he immediately stopped, and he didn't dare to say anything more!
"Give your life early! If you are delayed, you will be crushed! Li Yang said angrily!
Li Dao didn't dare to touch his edge, and after even claiming that it was, he shook his head helplessly and left!
Tiger Prison Inside!
Li Dao came to Dong Zhuo and said: "Li Yang is rude, frequently speaks wildly, the last general is incompetent, he has failed the prime minister's trust, and he asks the prime minister to punish him heavily!" ”
Dong Zhuo snorted coldly and said, "Don't retreat with me yet!" ”
Li Dao hurriedly left!
After Li Dao is gone!
Dong Zhuo asked Li Ru and said, "If you can't get married, what can you do?" ”
After pondering for a while, Li Ru got up and came to Dong Zhuo's approach, saluted and said: "Fengxian is newly defeated, and the soldiers have no heart to fight, it is better to lead the troops and Luoyang, and move the capital to Chang'an!" ”
Dong Zhuo was shocked, looked up at Li Ru, and said, "Move the capital?" ”
"Yes, move the capital!" Li Ru nodded solemnly, and said eloquently: "Chang'an is a vast land with abundant people, and it is the place where the emperors of the past dynasties built their capitals. ”
Li Ru smiled slightly and said, "Hasn't the lord heard such a nursery rhyme?" ”
"Nursery rhymes?" Dong Zhuo's face was unknown!
"There is a Han in the west and a Han in the east. When the deer enters Chang'an, there is no difficulty. ”
Dong Zhuo didn't understand what he meant, and said, "What do you mean?" ”
Li Ru patiently explained: "The first Han in the west is Ying Gaozu Wang in the western capital Chang'an, passing on the 12 emperors, and the first Han in the east is Ying Guangwu Wang in the eastern capital Luoyang, and it has also passed on the 12 emperors. If the prime minister moves back to Chang'an, he will have no worries. ”
"If you hadn't said it, I wouldn't have understood what it meant!" When Dong Zhuo heard this, he stroked his palms and laughed, and said: "Nursery rhymes, allegorical to heaven's will..."
"This matter is decided!" After Dong Zhuo pondered for a moment, he immediately decided: "Return to Luoyang in the starry night to discuss the matter of moving the capital!" ”
After Dong Zhuo led the army to return to Luoyang day and night, he entered the palace overnight, went straight to the bed of the Son of Heaven, and under Liu Xie's ignorant expression, he forcibly pulled him up and coerced him to hold a court meeting overnight to discuss the matter of moving the capital to Chang'an!
During the court discussion, Yang Biao and Huang Wan repeatedly dissuaded Dong Zhuo from moving the capital, and asked Dong Zhuo to think twice before acting, but Dong Zhuo dismissed Huang Wan, Yang Biao and others from their posts on the grounds of natural disasters.
Wu Qiong and Zhou Bi still thought that they could not move the capital, but Dong Zhuo did not hesitate to sacrifice the butcher's knife to him, and finally brutally killed Zhou Bi and Wu Qiong, who had recommended Yuan Shao, Liu Dai and others, on the grounds of collaborating with the enemy.
After the deaths of Zhou Yu and Wu Qiong, Dong Zhuo was forced to re-appoint Huang Wan and Yang Biao under pressure.
Before moving the capital, Dong Zhuo sent Li Rulu to kill the deposed emperor Hongnong Wang Liu Bian, and discussed with his ministers to send a large army against the Kwantung coalition army, but was finally dissuaded by Zheng Tai.
Dong Zhuo appointed Liu Biao as the assassin of Jingzhou, and appointed Gongsun Du as the Taishou of Lelang, in order to contain the anti-Dong forces, the former can play a role in containing Sun Jian, and the latter can play a role in containing Li Yang, which is not a bad move to kill two birds with one stone.
Thinking of Dong Zhuo's various evil deeds when he moved the capital, Li Yang was angry, why is Luoyang innocent? How innocent are the people?
In order to avoid the recurrence of the tragedy in the world, Li Yang decided to personally lead the Liaodong Iron Cavalry to go deep into Luoyang to save the people from fire and water!
Meanwhile!
In the Allied camp, there is a heated discussion on the matter of sending troops to Luoyang!
Cao Cao looked at Yuan Shao, who was sitting in the middle, and said anxiously: "At the beginning, Dong Zhuo burned the palace and robbed the Son of Heaven, causing the sea to shake, and he didn't know where to go. ”
Yuan Shao sighed lightly and was unmoved!
Cao Cao hated that iron could not become steel: "That Dong thief is intimidated by the momentum of the princes of the Eighteenth Road, in order to avoid the edge, there is a move to move the capital to the west, the battle of Tiger Prison Pass, Lu Bu was defeated, the soldiers have no heart to fight, our army's morale is flourishing, at this time, the world can be determined!" How can we be suspicious and miss the opportunity? ”
Yuan Shao sighed helplessly, gritted his teeth and argued: "The princes, soldiers and horses are already tired, and it is useless to enter the army. ”
"yes, yes!"
"Don't move!"
Everyone said!
Cao Cao and Yuan Shao glanced at each other, and saw all kinds of helplessness in Yuan Shao's eyes, Yuan Shao, as the leader of the alliance, only has the right to mediate in the middle, but he has no right to mobilize the army, and he is powerless in many things!
Cao Cao's gaze swept over the faces of the princes one by one, and said angrily: "The erection is not enough and the plan!" "Anyway, go away in a rage!
