Chapter 20 Dong Zhuo abandoned the customs and moved the capital Zhao Xu angrily scolded Yuan Shu
However, it was said that Dong Zhuo's army and horses were defeated by the allies, and even Dong Zhuo was injured and retreated. It turned out that Dong Zhuo was shot by Huang Zhong with an arrow, broke two front teeth, and bled nonstop, Li Ru hurriedly asked a doctor for treatment.
The allied Yuan Shao will meet the princes of the Eighteen Roads, and feast Liu Bei, Zhao Xu, Guan Yu and others to celebrate. During the banquet, all the princes were half-drunk, Sun Jian looked at Yuan Shu and other princes drinking and having fun, and unconsciously remembered that Yuan Shu did not give out food and grass, which caused him to lose at the hands of Hua Xiong and almost die, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became.
Pulling out the sword at his waist and standing up, he took Yuan Shu directly, all the princes were shocked, and hurriedly persuaded Sun Jian, and Yuan Shu was also frightened. Sun Jian put his sword on Yuan Shu's table and scolded: "Dong Zhuo and I have no enmity, but now I am desperate to brave the rain of arrows to fight to the death with Dong Zhuo, for the sake of the country, and for the private interests of your Yuan general's family; And you listened to slander and did not give me grain and grass, which caused me to be defeated in battle and damaged nearly 10,000 of my children in Jiangdong, what face do you have to stand here? ”
Yuan Shu was frightened, and hurriedly apologized and said: "The art is stupid, listen to slander, I'm sorry Brother Gongtai, my heart is really uneasy, I will kill this villain, apologize for Brother Gongtai's soldiers, and calm my anger, and calm my anger." Zhao Xu saw the villain portrait of Yuan Shu, and couldn't help but want to slap him a few times, he was really a villain. Yuan Shao also urgently persuaded Sun Jian to calm his anger.
He immediately ordered to behead the slanderer to thank Sun Jian. If Sun Jian is not given food and grass, it is most likely the conspiracy of the two brothers, and this pretense is actually just finding a scapegoat. Zhao Xu thought in his heart when he must humiliate the two of them.
Sun Jian saw Yuan Shu explain the apology and wanted to argue something, but all the princes came to persuade him, and it was not easy to have a seizure, so he returned to his seat sullenly, just drinking, Yuan Shu and several princes who had some friendship with Sun Jian also went to accompany Sun Jian to drink and apologize.
……
"Smack!" At this time, when the tiger prison was closed, the sound of a porcelain falling to the ground sounded.
"These thieves, I, Dong Zhuo, will definitely break them into pieces one by one!" Dong Zhuo covered his mouth with one hand and scolded at the same time.
"My father-in-law is angry, and when I recover from my injuries, I will definitely avenge my father-in-law. Hmph, that Zhao Xu deceived me with the advantage of the sword, and the next time I bumped into him, he would definitely be crushed to ashes. Lu Bu covered the wound on his chest with one hand, originally to persuade Dong Zhuo, but thinking of being besieged by Guan Yu and others, and thinking that Zhao Xu had injured himself with a sword, it was an unprecedented defeat in his life, and he couldn't help but be angry, gritted his teeth, and looked like he was going to kill, which was very terrifying.
Li Ru persuaded: "Now that Wenhou has been newly defeated, the soldiers have no desire to fight. It is better to lead the troops back to Luoyang, and recently there are rumors among the street boys: 'There is a Han in the west and a Han in the east. When the deer enters Chang'an, there is no difficulty. The minister pondered this: 'The first Han in the west' is the 12 emperors that should be passed on to Gaozu Wang in Chang'an, the western capital, and the 12 emperors are passed on today. It is better to move the capital to Chang'an, in response to the nursery rhyme, and Shang's father will move back to Chang'an. ”
Dong Zhuo was originally from Longxi, Chang'an was close to Longxi, and the capital was moved to Chang'an, wouldn't he completely grasp the Son of Heaven in his hands, Li Ru's plan was very much in line with Dong Zhuo's mind. Dong Zhuo was overjoyed, so he led his troops back to Luoyang in the starry night to discuss the relocation of the capital.
The next day, the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs went to court, and on the way, Wang Yun said to several important ministers: "I got the exact news, in the battle of Tiger Pass, Dong Zhuo's old thief was defeated, and he was shot under the car with an arrow, and his life and death are unknown." ”
"Good! Life and death are unknown, it must be dead, God bless my big man! Situ Yang Biao sighed.
"Well, now that the allied troops are coming to Luoyang City, we must quickly gather people and prepare for contingencies." The ministers said yes one after another.
During the discussion, Wang Yun's cronies came to report and said: Prime Minister Dong Cheng is in the main hall.
Wang Yun and the others were shocked, isn't this Dong Zhuo dead? looked at each other, speechless for a while, helpless, take a look first and then say, Wang Yun and the others thought in their hearts and hurried to the palace.
Seeing Dong Zhuo with a sword in the hall, the ministers hurriedly saluted the Son of Heaven, and then saluted Dong Zhuo, this is why many ministers saw Dong Zhuo break two front teeth, and couldn't help but want to laugh, but because of Dong Zhuo's prestige, they didn't dare to make a sound, only secretly happy in their hearts.
Dong Zhuo said: "Okay, okay, no courtesy." I was about to talk to you about it, but our family killed those princes and thieves in the Tiger Prison and returned with a great victory! ”
Wang Yun, Yang Biao and others secretly scolded in their hearts: Ahh
Dong Zhuo continued: "Our family watches the sky at night, Luoyang, the capital of eastern Han, has been in decline for more than 200 years. Guanwang is really Chang'an, and our family wants to be lucky. You should wait for each to promote. ”
The ministers were shocked, daring to love that Dong Zhuo was going to take the Son of Heaven away! Situ Yang Biao hurriedly said: "Guanzhong is broken and scattered; Now there is no reason to donate the temple, abandon the imperial mausoleum, for fear that the people will be alarmed; The world is easy to move, but it is difficult to be safe. I hope that the prime minister will inspect it. ”
Dong Zhuo said angrily: "What do you know, dare to obstruct the country's plans? Taiwei Huang Wan said: "Yang Situ's words are very true. In the past, Wang Mang usurped and burned Chang'an, which was all rubble; It is also the flow of people, which is unique. It is not appropriate to abandon the palace and go to the wasteland today. ”
Dong Zhuo said: "The thieves in the Kanto region are rising, and the world is in turmoil. Chang'an has the risk of Kuihan; Closer to Longyou, wood, stone, bricks and tiles, can be done on the same day, the palace is built, and a big palace city can be built again without more than a month. What the hell are you talking about? ”
Situ Xunshuang admonished: "If the prime minister moves the capital rashly, how will the minister of civil and military affairs arrange it, and how will the people in the city be resettled?" Prime minister! ”
"Our family has a thousand chariots, and the officials can just sit on it, as for those people, lowly people, they don't care if they live or die."
Shang Shu Zhou knelt down and said: "Prime Minister, if you move the capital rashly, it will definitely cause chaos in the court, absolutely not!" Dong Zhuo was furious: "I first heard that you used Yuan Shao, but now Yuan Shao's thief has rebelled, and you are designated as Yuan Shao's party." "Draw a sword and stab Zhou Bi to death, behead him, blood spattered in the court, the Son of Heaven and the ministers all changed color, they were terrified, and they didn't dare to say anything more, Dong Zhuo dismissed Yang Biao and others as commoners. Ordered the capital to be moved, and set off on the same day.
Dong Zhuo listened to Li Confucian's plan, sent an iron horse of 5,000, and went all over to arrest the rich households in Luoyang, a total of thousands, planted a flag on his head, and wrote a big book "Anti-Ministers and Rebels against the Party", all of which were cut outside the city to take their money. Millions of gold and silver.
ordered Li Dao and Guo Yan to drive millions of people from Luoyang to Chang'an. Each of the people had a team, and the army had a team, dragged each other and died in the ravines, which are innumerable. He also set up sergeants and men to take away people's food, and the sound of crying shook the heavens and the earth. If there is a person who is late, the three thousand troops behind him urge the superintendent, and the army holds a white blade, and those who dare to be late will be killed on the road. Dong Zhuo was on his way to teach Zhumen to set fires, burn residents' houses, and set fire to temples and palaces. The north and south palaces are connected by flames; The Changle palace is full of scorched earth. He also sent Lu Bu to excavate the tombs of the first emperor and his concubines and take their golden treasures. The sergeants took advantage of the situation to dig up the graves of officials and civilians. Dong Zhuo loaded thousands of cars with gold beads and satin, robbed the Son of Heaven and the concubine, etc., and actually looked at Chang'an. Eastern han dynasty
The capital city of more than 200 years was destroyed in one fell swoop.
But said that when the princes heard that Dong Zhuo was shot off by Huang Zhong's front teeth with an arrow, they were overjoyed, and said that it was a pity, Zhao Xu also felt very sorry that he failed to kill Dong Zhuo, the old thief, Huang Zhong beat his chest and paused, Zhao Xu comforted Huang Zhong and said: "If it weren't for the distance, Dong Zhuo's old thief would have died at the hands of Brother Han Sheng, this Dong Zhuo's life should not be extinguished, and it was not Han Sheng's fault." Huang Zhong listened to Zhao Xu's persuasion before stopping.
After a while, all the princes were overjoyed when they heard that Dong Zhuo had abandoned the customs and moved the capital. Sun Jian drove the troops first, Liu Bei, Zhao Xu, Guan Yu and others then led the troops into the Tiger Prison Pass, and the rest of the princes led their troops in.
Sun Jian, Liu Bei, and Zhao Xu rushed to Luoyang, looking at the flames in the distance, black smoke covering the ground, two or three hundred miles, and there were no chickens and dogs. The first troops extinguished the fire, and ordered the princes to camp their horses on the wasteland. Zhao Xu looked at the current scenery of Luoyang, and couldn't help but sigh, the war was really the most cruel.
On the same day, Liu Bei summoned Zhao Xu and others to discuss, and Zhao Xu said: "Now that Dong Zhuo has abandoned the pass and fled, we can hunt down Dong Zhuo and rob the Son of Heaven." ”
"What Boxiong said is very true, I will go and talk to Yuan Shao immediately."
Suddenly, the small soldiers reported that Cao Cao was coming to see Liu Bei, Liu Bei and others immediately went out of the tent to greet him, seeing Cao Cao's anxious face, Cao Cao saw Liu Bei coming out, and said: "Today, Dong thief is going west, and we can take advantage of the situation to pursue." But the original order was not moved, can Xuande persuade him with me? Liu Bei said: "A certain is about to say that he is chasing Dong Zhuo with the beginning. Cao Cao was overjoyed, took Liu Bei's hand, and went to find Yuan Shao.
When everyone arrived, they saw that Yuan Shao and the princes were setting up wine to celebrate, and Cao Cao was furious. Yuan Shao saw Liu Bei and Cao Cao coming together, and said, "I was about to send someone to invite you two, but I didn't think that Xuande and Meng De came first." ”
Liu Bei ignored him, that is, he said about the army. Yuan Shao said, "The princes are tired of soldiers and horses, and it may be useless to march. Cao Cao said: "Dong thieves burned the palace, robbed the Son of Heaven, the sea shook, and I didn't know where to go: when this day died, the world was decided in a war." Why are you suspicious? Missed opportunities. "All the princes said that they should not be moved.
Cao Cao was furious, and was about to speak, when Zhao Xu scolded: "You are only for your own selfishness, just to save your own soldiers and horses, it is really not enough to be a husband and a man!" Where did Yuan Shu hear Zhao Xu being so insulted, he slapped the case and shouted: "Our princes are discussing, where is your turn to speak." ”
Zhao Xu pulled out the giant sword and took Yuan Shu directly, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and others were unhappy with Yuan Shu, and they all drew their swords out of the sheath, and Ji Ling and several other personal soldiers behind Yuan Shu drew their swords to meet Zhao Xu, Zhao Xu cut off the sword in Ji Ling's hand with a sword, and instantly a sword was already on Yuan Shu's neck, and with a little force, Yuan Shu's head fell to the ground.
Yuan Shao and the princes hurriedly got up to persuade each other, Liu Bei was a benevolent and righteous person after all, and he couldn't bear Yuan Shu to die of his life, so he hurriedly grabbed Zhao Xu and said, "Boxiong Mo is as knowledgeable as this person." Zhao Xu saw that the lord had spoken, and it was not easy to start, so he put away the giant sword.
Cao Cao heard Zhao Xu scolding Yuan Shu, which was very much in line with his own heart, and responded: "Boxiong is a true hero, and it is not enough to plan for a master, so don't be familiar with them." Holding Zhao Xu's hand with one hand, he took Liu Bei's hand with the other, turned around and left, and shouted "Farewell!" ”
None of the princes dared to stop them, and they had to give them away when they saw a few people go away.
Yuan Shu escaped death, he couldn't speak for a long time, and Yuan Shao also scolded in his heart: Who made you speak without knowing the severity, you deserve it.
