Volume 2: The Dragons Present Chapter 59 Moving the Capital

A famous Kwantung coalition army climbed onto the siege ladder one after another, holding his weapon in his mouth, and climbed step by step: "Damn, these damn guys are really endless, annoying, I can't even sleep well!" Li Su cursed tiredly.

"Lang'er will bring the rolling stones to the general, and smash these guys who don't know whether they are alive or dead!" Li urged the princes who were climbing along the siege ladder and shouted angrily, and suddenly one by one the Xiliang soldiers smashed the rolling stones in their hands along the siege ladder.

The Kwantung coalition army looked at the huge rolling stones, showed a look of horror and jumped towards the siege ladder, and some hesitant soldiers were crushed into meat cakes by the boulders.

"Damn! It's amazing that this guy is so tough! Cao Hong looked at Lu Bu, who was shrouded in a strong fighting spirit, and smiled bitterly in his heart.

"Zilian doesn't need to worry, a certain family will definitely leave this fang here this time!" The fierce light in Xiahoudun's eyes flashed, the long knife in his hand flashed with a touch of light, and he stepped on the back of the war horse under his feet and suddenly rose into the air with his strength, and slashed the long knife towards Lu Bu, meaning to split it in half in one fell swoop!

Lu Bu looked at Xiahoudun who was flying away, and his face suddenly sank, "Damn, boy, you are really arrogant!" The colorful tiger under the crotch jumped high and rushed towards the direction of Xiahoudun, the colorful tiger was more than twice as large as the ordinary big insect, and it was actually half a foot taller than Xiahoudun, and the Fang Tian painting halberd in Lu Bu's hand was a little red and cut off the head on his neck.

Zhao Yun on the side saw Lu Bu and the colorful tiger roaring in the air, and the gentian gun in his hand picked up his horse and rushed towards Lu Bu, and the gentian gun was extremely fast and stabbed at the tiger's belly.

Cao Hong looked at the three people who were fighting, and on a whim, blood surged upward, waving the long knife in his hand and killing Lu Bu again, and at this moment, the gate of the Tiger Prison Gate opened again.

"The thief will leave, and a certain Zhang Xiu has been waiting here for a long time!" I saw a white-robed military general galloping towards Cao Hong with a gun.

Cao Hong looked at Zhang Xiu, who was rushing to kill, and suddenly scolded in his heart: "Damn, at this time, such a bad star was killed, Yuan Rang and Zilong are both fighting with Lu Bu, and they must not be allowed to destroy this matter!" "Shouted" The thief Hugh is going to be rampant, a certain Cao Hong is here! The long knife in his hand slashed towards the door of Zhang Xiumian.

"Boom!" With a loud bang, Fang Tian's halberd collided heavily with the long knife, and the huge impact force smashed Xiahoudun to the ground.

For a while, a monstrous cloud of smoke and dust was raised, and the huge impact force made Lu Bulian take a few steps back with the tiger, leaving deep footprints one by one.

Not long after Lu Bu left his position, a silver spear suddenly flashed out of the position where he had just stayed, and if you look closely, it is not difficult to find that it is Zhao Yun's gentian gun.

Seeing this, Lu Bu suddenly became furious and clamped the tiger's belly, the colorful tiger roared again, and Fang Tian's halberd flashed in front of Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun looked at the menacing halberd and instantly retracted the gentian spear across his chest.

"Boom!" Split on the body of the gentian gun, the huge impact force made Zhao Yun and the horse fly out a few meters.

A breeze slowly blew the smoke and dust on the battlefield away, revealing a military general standing with a halberd, heroic and majestic, who is not Lu Bu?

Seeing this, everyone shouted "Wu Wen Hou is the first in the world, Wu Wen Hou is the first in the world, and Wu Wen Hou is the champion of the three armies!" The momentum resounded throughout the Tiger Prison and remained in the air for a long time.

"Damn, Lu Bu, this guy is too powerful, I'm afraid Zilong and the others are not his opponents, Ming Jin retreated!" Gongsun Zhan looked at Lu Bu, who was standing with a halberd, and shouted loudly with fear in his heart, and soon there were bursts of ringing gold on the battlefield, and Cao Hong, who was being forced by Zhang Xiu, was embarrassed, and his eyes suddenly lit up when he heard the sound of gold, and the long knife in his hand shook towards Zhang Xiu, and he immediately jumped out of the battle circle and said, "The green mountains do not change, the green water flows for a long time, and I will see you next time!" A puff of smoke rode his horse towards the phalanx.

Zhao Yun and Xiahou Dun, who were fighting with Lu Bu on the side, couldn't help twitching the corners of their mouths when they saw this, and they also ran towards their own camp with a false move.

On the Tiger Prison Pass, Li Ru looked at the group of troops that were being assembled, and suddenly his face was ugly, "Father-in-law, I'd better give up the Tiger Prison Pass!" ”

"What do you mean by this, you obviously have a complete advantage, the old man has a son-in-law and Fengxian here, and those Kwantung rebels can't take the Tiger Pass!" Dong Zhuo looked at the other party with a displeased face, waiting for his explanation.

"Father-in-law, those are just in front of you, if it takes a long time, I'm afraid it won't be like this, father-in-law, look!" Li Ru stretched out his hand and pointed to the Kwantung coalition army that was gathering in the distance, "Is there anything wrong with my son-in-law, isn't it just gathering troops?" Dong Zhuo looked at the other party with a puzzled expression.

"Father-in-law, you can become aware that the troops that attack each time are not the same troops, that is to say, the current Kwantung Coalition Army has eight princes, but we are all the way, even if there are peerless generals like Wu Wenhou, they can't stand the enemy's wheel war, and when we and others are sleepy and tired, it is also the time when the tiger prison is broken!" Li Ru's face was solemn and he said word by word.

"How could this be?" Dong Zhuo was shocked when he heard this, "Father-in-law, I'm afraid this is the case, if not, there would be no previous attack, just an attack by the princes all the way!" Li Ru showed a helpless look.

"Does your son-in-law have a plan to break the enemy?" Dong Zhuo thought about the method that he couldn't crack for a long time, and asked Li Ru at the moment.

"At present, there is no natural barrier to defend in Luoyang, and it is appropriate to move the capital to Chang'an for the sake of safety!" The fierce light in Li Ru's eyes flashed, and he proposed to Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo didn't expect his son-in-law Li Ru to have such thoughts, and looked at the other party in surprise, "The matter of moving the capital is extraordinary, if it is just because Luoyang has no natural barrier, it is not necessary." With the strength of our Western Liang army, it is enough to resist double the Kwantung soldiers and horses. ”

Li Ru shook his head and chuckled: "Father-in-law, there are two major advantages to moving the capital to Chang'an, one is to avoid entanglement with Yuan Shao and others, and the other is that as soon as we leave, the Kwantung princes will lose their opponents, because some interests will inevitably cause contradictions, and they must break up." Because according to a certain family, although the Kwantung Coalition Army is numerous, it is composed of many people, and they are actually wary of each other, each with its own intentions. If there are many people who are not aligned, how can there be a long-term alliance?"

After listening to Li Ru's words, Dong Zhuo's eyes flashed and he nodded his acquiescence slightly, not to mention that Chang'an was originally the base of the Liangzhou Army, and it was more advantageous for him to move the capital to Chang'an, so he agreed to Li Ru's suggestion, and led everyone to Luoyang, the eastern capital, overnight.

In the Kwantung camp in the distance, Zhou Qi looked at the starry sky, a relatively faint star, and muttered, "It seems that Dong Zhuo probably agrees with Li Ru's opinion and moves the capital to Chang'an!" ”

It is said that on the second day after Dong Zhuo led the people and horses to return to Luoyang in the starry night, he summoned the three princes and nine kings and looked at the people in the hall: "My Han is declining day by day, and the old man wants to move the capital to Chang'an to revitalize my Han country, what do you think?" "None of the ministers expected that there would be a move to Chang'an, and they couldn't help but be stunned.

Situ Yang Biao blew his beard and glared at him, objecting: "How can this work?" Luoyang has been the capital for many years, and the officials and the people are all adapted, once the capital is moved, it will inevitably alarm the government and the opposition, but it is not conducive to the stability of the people's hearts, it is better not to move!"

Dong Zhuo held his stomach and pointed at Yang Biao, "Moving the capital is a national plan, do you dare to obstruct it?" ”

Seeing this, Taiwei Huang Wan hurriedly stepped out and added, "It is precisely because moving the capital is a national plan that Yang Situ said justly and bluntly, it is better to ask the Taishi to consider more!" Dong Zhuo was speechless for a while, staring at Huang Wan with a pair of big eyes.

Seeing this, Li Ru on the side slowly walked out, looked around at everyone and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, there is a nursery rhyme in the market recently, saying that there is a Han in the west and a Han in the east. When the deer enters Chang'an, there is no difficulty. Chen Si said that "a Han in the west" should be Gaozu Wang in the western capital of Chang'an, and passed on the 12 emperors; "The first Han in the east" should be Guangwuwang in the eastern capital Luoyang, and now it is also passed on to the 12 emperors. Fortune is back. The prime minister moved back to Chang'an, so that he would be safe. I wonder what the ministers think? With that, a famous sword and shield hand broke in from outside the palace gate.

Seeing this, Wang Yun hurriedly came out of the round, "It's a good plan to move the capital, didn't Han Gaozu take Chang'an as the capital teacher, but the Taishi doesn't have to worry about Yang Situ and Huang Taiwei's wrong words, isn't it completely up to you to make the final decision?"

Dong Zhuo was a little angry, but immediately dismissed Yang Biao and Huang Wan and made every effort to prepare for the westward move.

Wu Qiong, the captain of the city gate, and Shangshu Zhou Bi all scolded Wang Situ for only knowing flattery and having no backbone. The two of them decided to risk their lives to persuade Dong Zhuo not to let him move the capital.

Dong Zhuo frowned when he saw that it was him, and said, "At the beginning, you two persuaded the old man to reuse the celebrity, and Yuan Shao was used to be the old man of Bohai, so he relied on you." The person you recommended became a Taishou and a thorn, how did you repay the old man? He sent troops to beat the old man, and you still wanted to do something for him, and forced the old man to be beaten here. It's completely you two, I'm sorry, the old man is not me, Dong Zhuo is sorry for you. This time, you don't blame the old man for being ruthless! ”

Dong Zhuo shouted, and a large number of people poured out to arrest Wu Qiong and Zhou Bi and put them in prison. The next day, he was convicted of a crime and put to death.

Huang Wan, the former lieutenant who had been dismissed, and Yang Biao, the former Situ, were also terrified when they saw that Dong Butcher was killing again. For the safety of themselves and their families, the two hurriedly ran to the Taishi Mansion to kneel down to Dong Zhuo again to admit their mistakes.

Dong Zhuo laughed out loud when he saw this, and seemed to get some kind of satisfaction, not only forgave Huang Wan and Yang Biao, but also recommended Emperor Han Xian to appoint the two of them as Guanglu doctors.

Before moving the capital, there were still two people in Dong Zhuo's heart. One is the left general Huangfu Song, and the other is Henan Yin Zhujun. Both of them were Dong Zhuo's bosses and were quite famous among the scholars and bureaucrats, so Dong Zhuo was a little suspicious of them.

On this day, Zhu Jun suggested to Dong Zhuo that he make a plan for defensive deployment in Luoyang, but Dong Zhuo did not listen, and Zhu Jun dismissed the official in anger. Dong Zhuoba was not happy to leave, so he did not stop him.

"Hehe, now there is only one Huangfu Song left, as long as he is playing a trick, transfer the old guy Huangfu Song to the Beijing Division to be a city gate captain, and then kill him by a trivial matter!" I thought to myself

Contrary to his wishes, Huang Fu Song's son Huang Fu Jian seemed to be aware of Dong Zhuo's ambition and behaved unusually well-behaved, Dong Zhuo was in a good mood when he saw this, so he didn't kill Huang Fu Song, but let him be a councilor.

Dong Zhuo, Li Ru and others killed these difficult people, arranged the arrangements, and then issued an order to move the capital within a time limit.

Under the order, more than 1 million residents of Luoyang were forcibly relocated to Chang'an in Xiliang.

For a time, the avenue from Luoyang to Chang'an was crowded with migratory people, cars and horses. From time to time, soldiers would molest women, and in addition to the lack of food, the starving dead, the wounded and the dead would be plundered by each other, and the corpses would be strewn all over the avenues, which was really a shocking and miserable picture of hell.

Dong Zhuo was worried that the Kwantung princes would occupy Luoyang, so he ruthlessly ordered the city to be set on fire, and all the palaces, official residences, and private houses in Luoyang were completely burned. The radius of two hundred miles suddenly became a scorched earth, and the chicken dog was not left.

Li Ru on the side bowed his head in Dong Zhuo's ear, "Father-in-law, outside Luoyang City, there are many tombs of emperors and ministers, so I asked Wu Wenhou Lu Bu to lead a team of men and horses to dig up all those big tombs, and transport the gold, silver, jade and all the treasures to Chang'an..."
