Chapter 15: The Relocation of the Capital

Luoyang,

"What do you say now? The Tiger Prison Pass has been lost, Hua Xiong is dead, and the Kwantung Coalition Army has already killed it. ”

Dong Zhuo's face was extremely ugly, the matter of the Tiger Prison Pass being taken had already angered him, but fortunately, Lu Bu arrived to severely damage Sun Jian, so that the coalition forces were stagnant, his anger was reduced a lot, Hua Xiong died in battle, and his anger broke out again.

"There is no barrier from the tiger prison to Luoyang, otherwise we should evacuate as soon as possible!"

Guo Yan said nervously, facing the angry Dong Zhuo, don't say that he Guo Yan is Niu Fu, and Li Ru doesn't dare to be high-profile.

"Hmm...... Well! ”

Dong Zhuo slowly looked at Guo Yan, his eyes widened, and Guo Yan didn't dare to raise his head.

"Now that my Xiliang army has been assembled, we are not without the strength to fight with the coalition army."

Lu Bu still looked scrappy and had no intention of retreating.

"My son is heroic!"

Hearing Lu Bu's words, Dong Zhuo immediately burst out laughing.

"Look at what you're scared of, it's a bunch of rubbish."

Immediately afterwards, Dong Zhuo scolded Niu Fu, Guo Yan and others.

"Father-in-law, Li Ru thinks that the matter of moving the capital is already imperative."

Li Ru, Dong Zhuo's chief adviser and son-in-law, spoke.

"Why is that?"

Dong Zhuo raised his eyebrows, for Li Ru, Dong Zhuo can still be tolerant.

"Now that the Tiger Prison Pass has fallen into the hands of the coalition army, it may be more difficult to get it back than to ascend to the sky, there is no barrier between Luoyang and the Tiger Prison Pass, even if Feng first killed the coalition army this time, but what should be done in the future, the 400,000 army cannot always stay near Luoyang, Han Sui in Liangzhou, Ma Teng, and the Xianbei people in the north, these are all enemies, and the subordinates think that moving the capital to Chang'an is the best policy."

Li Ru said solemnly.

"When does Wen You think it's better to move the capital?"

After thinking about it, Dong Zhuo planned to adopt Li Ru's suggestion.

"Immediately, immediately, as soon as possible!"

Li Ru replied directly, without the slightest hesitation, it seemed that he would not be satisfied even if he moved the capital now.

"I'm afraid those old ministers in the court won't agree!"

Dong Zhuo frowned and said.

"If you don't agree, you have to agree, if they don't agree, then kill directly, once the Kwantung Coalition Army knows about our relocation of the capital, it will inevitably go crazy to Luoyang to kill, and even Fengxian may not be able to stop it at that time, the time is already insufficient, how can it continue to delay."

Li Ru said anxiously.

"Damn Hua Xiong, if he hadn't lost the Tiger Prison, how could this have happened."

After hearing Li Ru's words, Dong Zhuo was furious, and even threw the responsibility on the dead Hua Xiong.

"Guo Yan, you took someone to raid Huaxiong's house, and killed them all."

In anger, Dong Zhuo even put forward the idea of slaughtering Hua Xiong.

"Lord Xiangguo's anger!"

Li Ru hurriedly dissuaded.

"Lord Xiangguo, Hua Xiong has been with Xiang Guo for so long, and he has worked hard and worked hard, although he made a big mistake this time, his opponent is Sun Jian, and it is reasonable to lose, please also ask Lord Xiang Guo to show mercy to Hua Xiong's family."

"Okay, okay, spare them first, the most important thing now is to move the capital and resist the Kwantung coalition army."

Dong Zhuo said impatiently, I have to say that Sun Jian is very powerful, if Sun Jian didn't win the Tiger Prison Pass, how could Dong Zhuo fall into such a passive situation, and even moving the capital was difficult.

"Fengxian, this Xiangguo gave you 200,000 troops, you must block the coalition army for me."

Dong Zhuo looked at Lu Bu with a heavy face.

"Please rest assured that as long as Lu Bu is here, he will definitely not let them interfere in the relocation of the capital."

Lu Bu said with an oath.

"Okay, if you do this well, this Xiangguo will let His Majesty make you a marquis and make you a general of the chariot cavalry, what do you think!"

Dong Zhuo looked at Lu Bu with a smile.

"Thank you, father!"

Lu Bu was excited when he heard this, what did he follow Dong Zhuo for? Isn't it just to live well and be able to wait for the generals?

"Father-in-law, Li Ru thinks that it is not enough to rely on Feng Xian and the 200,000 army, even if Feng Xian can block the coalition army, our army will suffer heavy losses, and it is not suitable in the future."

Li Ru said in a deep voice.

"What do you think?"

Dong Zhuo looked at Li Ru expectantly.

"Attacking the city is the bottom, attacking the heart is the top, in addition to Fengxian and the 200,000 army, we can also secretly destroy the Kwantung coalition army from the inside."

Li Ru said confidently.

"Wen You, talk about it!"

Dong Zhuo was a little impatient.

"The Kwantung Coalition Army is not monolithic, it can be seen from the fact that they let Sun Jian's soldiers and horses be the vanguard, and their subordinates thought that they could use the name of the little emperor to divide the princes and mess with the minds of the princes."

Li Ru replied calmly, the more he thought about it, the more confident Li Ru became, and he couldn't see any panic at this time.

"How?"

Dong Zhuo continued to ask.

"Feng Wang, Feng Hou Feng Guan, what is the purpose of the Kwantung Coalition Army's attack on Luoyang? Isn't it just for fame and fortune, there are few who really want to support the imperial court, as long as we give them enough fame and fortune, they will naturally hesitate. ”

Li Ru sneered.

"I think Wen You already has a plan, so this matter will be handed over to Wen You, and the little emperor will let him cooperate."

Dong Zhuo was naturally not stupid enough to let Li Ru tell all the plans now.

"Thank you father-in-law for your trust!"

Dong Zhuo's trust in him was as good as ever, and Li Ru was naturally happy.

"Niu Fu, Li Dao, Guo Yan, you immediately arrange the matter of moving the capital, and the imperial court will solve it by the Prime Minister."

Today's Dong Zhuo has not reached the point of mediocrity.

"No!"

"Fengxian, your task is the heaviest, don't let Benxiang down!"

In the end, Dong Zhuo told Lu Bu again.

"The child understands!"

Lu Bu hurriedly replied.

……

After the discussion, Dong Zhuo directly took people to the palace, and it was because he went to the palace that the major officials in the court were summoned into the palace.

"The rebels have taken the Tiger Prison, and the prime minister proposes to move the capital to Chang'an."

Dong Zhuo said solemnly, looking like a loyal minister.

"No, never!"

As soon as Dong Zhuo's words fell, he was opposed by the ministers of the DPRK and China.

"Why not?"

Raising his eyebrows, Dong Zhuo was a little dissatisfied.

"Luoyang is the capital of my Han Dynasty, and it is the foundation of a country, so how can I move the capital at will."

It was Situ Yang Biao who answered Dong Zhuo.

"The rebels have already killed outside Luoyang City, if they don't move the capital, I am afraid that the city will be broken, and Your Majesty and all of you will be in danger."

Dong Zhuo frowned and said,

"Lord Xiangguo has hundreds of thousands of iron horsemen, but he can't stop the rebels, and even if he can't stop it, the matter of moving the capital can't be a child's play."

Yang Biao said righteously, in addition to being Situ, Yang Biao is also the patriarch of the Hongnong Yang family, a well-known family in the world, of course, this is not the most important reason why he opposes the relocation of the capital.

Like many officials, he hoped that Yuan Shao's coalition army would enter Luoyang City and destroy Dong Zhuo, and how could he agree to move the capital and leave.

"Your Excellency, Your Majesty, do you also think that the capital should not be moved?"

Dong Zhuo glanced at the rest of the officials, and his last gaze fell on Liu Xie, who was less than ten years old.

"I think the matter of moving the capital needs to be considered in the long run."

Several officials said at the same time, but they didn't dare to speak as righteously as Yang Biao.

"Xia Guan thought that the matter of moving the capital was not impossible, but now that the rebels are coming, Luoyang is in danger, and some things should not be taken care of so much."

The one who spoke was Cai Yong, a celebrity, who was also a highly respected person in this big man.

"Lord Cai's words are wrong, Luoyang City is high and deep, there are hundreds of thousands of elite Xiliang iron cavalry, and the world's first fierce general Lu Bu, it is not impossible to block the rebels, and there is still time to discuss the matter of moving the capital."

Yang Biao said solemnly.

"Since there is a disagreement, let's use the simplest way to decide, the less obeys the more, those who support the relocation of the capital stand behind the prime minister, and those who support not moving the capital stand behind Lord Situ."
