Chapter 330: Li Ru's Advice on Moving the Capital (continued)

Dong Zhuo looked at it like this, why when it came to moving the capital, everyone was there thoughtful at this time, but no one spoke. So he said again: "I hope you can speak freely, don't take it into account, today is just expressing your own opinions, this matter has not yet been decided!" ”

In fact, for Dong Zhuo, the matter of moving the capital is actually a big deal, so it is necessary to discuss it with his subordinates first. Then after they have all discussed, they will go to the civil and military ministers of the court and the little emperor, and then they will say so, anyway, they have to agree and agree, and they have to agree if they don't.

"My lord, my subordinates think that moving the capital at this time is indeed a superior policy!"

When Li Ru heard this, he saw that the person who spoke was Guo Yan. Xin said that no matter what the lord said now, he Guo Yan was basically the first to jump out to express his support and approval. is really a villain, over time, sooner or later, the lord will be misled by others.

When Dong Zhuo heard this, he smiled, "Yes, yes, I think the same way!" But I don't know what you think? ”

"My lord, my subordinates think this matter is inappropriate!"

Dong Zhuo saw that the person who spoke was his subordinate Zhang Ji, "Oh? What's wrong? ”

Although Dong Zhuo was dissatisfied with Zhang Ji's opposition, he didn't show anything directly. After all, everyone is discussing together, and they have already said that they are expressing their own opinions, anyway, as long as they can express their own opinions.

"My lord, now the princes of all walks of life are fighting with our army outside the Bishui Pass, and the top priority of our army at this time is to increase the troops at the Bishui Pass and defend against the enemy. And moving the capital is a big deal, but don't make a rash decision on this matter! ”

When Li Ru heard this, he couldn't help nodding in agreement, and said in his heart that Zhang Ji was a good word, and if the lord listened to the words of a villain like Guo Yan who would make a sycophant, it would be a big delay.

After Dong Zhuo heard this, he thought about it carefully. Zhang Ji's words are also reasonable. It's just that you really have to fight with the allied forces of the princes, retreat to Chang'an by yourself, and don't you fight them.

So he said: "This, over the years, the world has been in constant turmoil year after year, and the people are miserable!" 'Heaven has the virtue of a good life', and I can't bear to be displaced, and the world is empty. Therefore, although my army is not afraid of their princes' alliance, I don't want to confront them like this anymore, so I want to discuss with you about moving the capital now. That's why. If we and the allied forces of the princes have been fighting outside the Bishui Pass for a long time, and the princes' armies are all blocked outside the Bishui Pass, then the people who will suffer will be the people of Luoyang and the surrounding counties! And I really can't bear the people because of the battle between the two armies! ”

Li Ru listened to what his lord said, as if he was knowing his lord for the first time. He thought that Dong Zhuo would never be able to say such a thing in his life, but he didn't expect it. I really didn't expect that today, who would have thought that his lord would say such a thing. Alas. Li Ruxin said. Could it be that this kind of comfort and pleasure can really make such a difference? Where is the former lord, God, this is really good luck and fate!

The others are also similar to Li Ru, and it is as if they are meeting their lord for the first time. No one expected that his lord would say such things because he wanted to move the capital. You must know that almost everyone has followed Dong Zhuo for many years. But it's really that I've never heard Dong Zhuo say anything like this, the first time in my life, the first time. Uniquely, only once.

That's all. After Dong Zhuo finished speaking, everyone was stunned for a full five minutes, and the audience was silent, and there was only the sound of panting, which was clearly audible.

"My lord, the alliance of princes will not necessarily fight with our army for a long time!"

Dong Zhuo saw that the person who spoke was Lu Bu, who had just returned with his troops, and he immediately asked, "Fengxian, how can this be seen?" ”

Li Ru listened to what Lu Bu said, he was also interested, and said in his heart Lu Fengxian, why did he say this? Let's see what he has to say.

Lu Bu smiled: "The lord should know that the alliance of princes is actually not monolithic, but there are still some things among them that are not known. For example, when Sun Wentai attacked Huaxiong at night for the first time before, the reason why Huaxiong and Zhao Cen were able to take precautions was precisely because someone in the princes' alliance wrote them a secret letter to inform them of the incident, so they took precautions early afterward, and even ambushed Sun Wentai after the most attack, so that he was defeated and returned! ”

When Dong Zhuo heard this, he said in his heart? I don't know how to do it, look at the performance of everyone, obviously other people don't know this either. It turned out that it was not that he didn't know it, but almost no one knew it, Dong Zhuo was balanced this time. Originally, he thought that Lu Bu knew about the Dao, and others might also know the Dao. As a result, as soon as he looked at everyone's expressions, he understood that it turned out that only Lu Bu knew the Dao, and no one else knew the Dao.

After Lu Bu finished saying these few sentences first, he told Zhao Cen to him again, and he told everyone again. When Dong Zhuo heard that there was still evidence, he asked Lu Bu: "Where is the secret letter now?" ”

Lu Bu was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I think it should still be at General Zhao's place!" ”

Dong Zhuo nodded, he decided to send someone to Bishui Pass to retrieve the secret letter in a while. Although Zhao Cen said that it was written with his left hand to prevent being recognized, after all, it was the only real evidence, and he might be able to find out something useful from it.

At this time, Li Ru narrowed his eyes and said in his heart, after bringing the secret letter, he might be able to use it to use some means to deal with the alliance of princes. This is a very good piece of evidence, and it can exceed tens of thousands of troops if used well.

Dong Zhuo looked at it, and said in his heart that this matter was over first, but Feng Xian didn't talk about moving the capital, so he continued to ask: "I don't know what Feng Xian thinks about moving the capital?" ”

"Lord, now the princes' coalition forces are forcibly attacking outside the Bishui Pass, but they have not yet captured the Bishui Pass, and at this time, is it a little early to talk about moving the capital?"

Dong Zhuo shook his head slowly, and said to Lu Bu and to everyone: "Actually, it's not too early, if we really wait for the Bianshui Pass to break through and the princes' alliance forces to kill Luoyang, then we will be too late." After all, moving the capital is not a trivial matter, and it has to be dealt with a lot, and it cannot be completed in one or two days! ”

Lu Bu nodded, he naturally understood what his lord meant, but now that the princes' coalition forces have not broken through the Bishui Pass, the people on his side have all gone to Chang'an. I don't know if this makes the world laugh. In this way, what will people in the world say, they will say that after Dong Zhuojun saw the alliance of princes, he didn't fight a few battles, but he was scared away, and he ran to Chang'an in one breath. Lu Buxin said, if someone says this, it will be a great shame, how can it be so?

Li Su said at this time: "The lord is wise, Su once listened to the nursery rhymes of Luoyang. 'One Han in the west, one Han in the east. When the deer walks into Chang'an, there is no difficulty'! ”

When Dong Zhuo heard this, he immediately became interested, and asked, "What is the meaning of this nursery rhyme?" ”

Li Su listened. I really didn't make up such a nursery rhyme in vain, didn't the lord already have an interest in asking himself?

Li Su smiled and said, "My lord, please think." This 'one man in the west'. Naturally, it refers to Gaozu Wang in Chang'an, the western capital, and passed on to the 12th emperor. And this 'Han in the east' is Ying Guangwu Wang in the eastern capital of Luoyang, and now it is also passed on to the 12th emperor. The so-called fortune of heaven is back, and the lord should move to Chang'an, the western capital! ”

Li Ruxin said, Li Su mistook the lord. As a result, the lord will definitely believe this. And why haven't I heard of such a nursery rhyme on the streets of Luoyang, and I don't know if Lu Dao was made up by him Li Su himself.

Dong Zhuo nodded approvingly and said, "If it's not your words, I don't know this yet!" Reasonable. Reasonable! It seems that moving the capital is the will of heaven that cannot be violated, and it cannot be violated! ”

As soon as the others heard this, most of them agreed and didn't say more, Li Ru looked at it like this, and said in his heart that it was not good, but now it can't be like this. He knew that if he didn't speak at this time, then he might not have the opportunity to speak today.

"Lord, Confucianism has something to say!"

Dong Zhuo saw that it was Li Ru, "Okay, Wen You has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it!" ”

Li Ru is his confidant and think tank, and he used to ask him for advice on many things, although he rarely asks him anything now, but for Li Ru, Dong Zhuo still values it. Not only because he is his son-in-law, but also because he is indeed a great talent, which is recognized.

"Lord, Confucianism thinks that now we should prepare with both hands!"

"Oh? What are the two hands to prepare? ”

In fact, Dong Zhuo had already thought of it, but he just asked Li Ru again to make sure.

Li Ru then said: "This first hand is what the lord said about moving the capital, and when the lord and His Majesty and the Chinese Wu of the DPRK decided on this matter, it should be implemented." And the second is to increase the troops of Bishui Pass, the lord please think, if Bishui Pass is broken on the same day, then where do we still have the time to move the capital? Therefore, we must increase the number of troops at Bishui Pass, which is the guarantee for us to move the capital! ”

In fact, this is what Li Ru wants to say, but he has already seen that his lord has already made a decision on moving the capital, and no one can change it, so now he can only let Bishui Pass lose it later. And if you can resist for a little longer, you can resist for a little longer, after all, it will take a long time to deal with the matter of moving the capital.

Dong Zhuo heard it, yes, that's what happened. If you are moving the capital here, and as a result, the princes' coalition army broke through the Bishui Pass and killed Luoyang, and moved everything, maybe the most difficult thing is to let people run away.

"Not bad, not bad! As far as Wenyou said! I don't know who is willing to lead troops to reinforce Bishui Pass? ”

As a result, when Dong Zhuo asked, he was silent again for the time being. Ask him anything, they can still say a few words, but when it comes to the real thing, no one will. After all, more than 200,000 people of the princes' alliance army are outside the Bishui Pass, eyeing them, and ordinary people are really unwilling to face them. You see, except for Zhao Cen who is still good, Huaxiong was the first to go to reinforcements, but he was killed in battle. And Lu Bu and Lu Feng went to reinforcements first, but what was the result, it was not also defeated. So the third one who goes to reinforce again, can there be any good results, anyway, everyone doesn't believe it.

Li Ru looked at Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu's uncle and nephew, to say that among the people present now, he felt that these two people had good skills, and they were still able to take on this great responsibility. Zhang Ji also met Li Ru's gaze, and he understood the meaning of this article.

So he said: "The last general is invited to fight!" Please ask our uncle and nephew to go to reinforce Bishui Pass! ”

Dong Zhuo was satisfied at this time, and the previous dissatisfaction with Zhang Ji had long since dissipated, "Okay, in this case, there will be two Lao!" ”

"No!"

Zhang Xiu was happy in his heart, he actually wanted to go for a long time, but because his uncle was there, he didn't want to say anything first. And this time, it's okay, my uncle went to Bishui Pass, and by the way, he also brought himself along, so it was in his own arms.

"No! The last will not be subject to the lord's wishes! Defend the water pass! ”

Zhang Ji said, in fact, he doesn't have much confidence to keep the Bishui Pass, but now he can't be discouraged, he still has to add some confidence to himself.

Li Ru saw that the two of them were like this, and he was satisfied, and there was only so much he could do now. (To be continued......)
