Chapter 135: Moving the Capital
Outside the coalition camp, countless horses were arranged, filled with sharpened logs and all sorts of spears and hair. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
As a traditional defensive item, the horse rejection has a long history. In the third dynasty of the Xia Shang dynasty, there was an early rejection of horses, that is, the wooden pillars were cross-fixed into a shelf, and the shelf was inlaid with blades and thorns. It was used to block gates and prevent pedestrians from passing, and was later used in combat to stop and delay the movement of enemy horses, and to kill and injure the enemy.
The General Codex? Bing Wu" quotes "Wei Gong Art of War? Offensive and defensive war equipment": "Reject the horse gun, with a wooden diameter of two feet, the length is as follows, the cross chisel hole, the vertical and horizontal security check, the length is one zhang, the sharp end, you can plug the city in the door and alley to the road, people and horses are not allowed to gallop." "History of the Song Dynasty? Guo Zhi's Biography": "Kangding's westward expedition, consulting strategy, and offering a rejection of the horse pistol formation. β
In addition to rejecting the horse, in order to prevent the surprise attack of the Xiliang army, the coalition army even dug many deep ditches between the rejecting horses, but how useful it can be when it falls, I am afraid that few people know.
"Later, I will order someone to pour some well water on those rejected horses..."Pointing to those rejected horses, Yan Shao said to his subordinates behind him.
The few armorers behind them glanced at each other, nodded, and did not dispute the order. Now that the weather is cold, it doesn't take long to splash water on the rejection horse to completely freeze the rejection horse.
Although Lu Bu has just been repelled, the other party may not take advantage of the night to sneak attack, but it is always good to be cautious.
Knocked on the horse with his hand, and after looking at the deep ditches all over the ground, Yan Shao smiled.
Seeing him patrolling back and forth in the camp so leisurely, the armor soldier on the side couldn't help but ask. "Lord, now that the princes will ally crusade against Dong Zhuo, why is the lord patrolling the camp non-stop, so leisurely?"
Not only him, but in fact, other armorers have also wanted to ask for a long time.
After all, at the important moment of the alliance of the princes, Yan Shao patrolled the camp all day long, sometimes in his own military horses, and sometimes in the military camps of other princes, this kind of behavior was really a little too peculiar...
"What else can I do besides patrolling, the alliance leader is unwilling to enter the army, do you want me to spend all day drinking like those people?" Listening to the general's words, Yan Shao said with some disdain.
The others listened and looked at each other, but they didn't know what to say.
After repelling Lu Bu, it should have been the best time to supply to the Tiger Prison, but I don't know what Yuan Shao was hesitating about, so he actually ordered to stand by. For a while, the coalition army and the Xiliang army formed a confrontation situation, and the princes also had nothing to do, and they continued to drink and feast all day long, so that this meeting alliance was like a party.
Although Yan Shao was not very repulsed by this, he still made him a little unhappy after all, so he naturally dropped it and patrolled back and forth in the barracks all day long.
"And apart from that, where do you think Zilong came from? Zilong's martial arts are outstanding, even among the many heroes who are known for their martial arts, they can be called outstanding, they can be compared with Ziyi, second only to Lu Bu, and it is even very likely to be on a par with Lu Bu in the future, and this kind of character was originally just a pawn, but it is ridiculous that although Yuan Benchu came from a famous family, he didn't know anyone..."
The battle with Tai Shici against Lu Bu made Zhao Yun instantly famous among the coalition forces and became a first-class famous general.
At first, the princes were still envious of Yan Shao's fierce generals, except for a Tai Shici, there were such generals. But there is a saying that paper can't contain fire. Zhao Yun's previous performance was so brave, naturally there would be many princes to inquire about him, and soon understood that this young general turned out to be a pawn under Yuan Shao, but in the end, it was Yan Shaohui who knew Ying, and asked this person from Yuan Shao's account to ask for the past, and entrusted him with a heavy responsibility, and now he is fighting Lu Bu in front of the Tiger Prison Pass, and he has become famous!
Such a fierce general, who was originally just a small pawn, and had to let others discover it, instantly made Yuan Shao a laughing stock among the princes. Even if no one dares to talk about this matter in front of Yuan Shao, there are never fewer people who talk about this matter behind their backs, in fact, Yan Shao's reluctance to go to the princes to drink and have fun has something to do with this.
It's a pity...
"Why can't I find any eye-catching talents everywhere..."Glancing at the sergeants who were training in the camp next door, Yan Shao sighed, and even gently kicked the ground next to him with his boots.
During this time, although he has been running around, hoping to find a talent who can compete with his subordinate generals, the reality is still very skinny after all.
It's not that during this time, no one who can be called a talent has not noticed it, but those talents are too ordinary. If you use the values in the game, most of them are around 60, and only a few can reach the level of about 70.
In fact, this number is already good, you must know that the unknown generals or the famous generals in Hanoi who were beheaded by Lu Bu before are basically at the level of 6 or 70. And with ordinary princes, this level can already be selected to lead a team of soldiers and horses.
The problem is that there is really no shortage of such generals under Yan Shao, not to mention super-first-class generals such as Tai Shici or Zhao Yun, even Guan Hai, Zhou Cang, Wu Anguo and even Sun Guan are all first-class brave generals.
To be honest, now under Yan Shao's command, Sun Guan is already one of the worst in martial arts, if it weren't for the fact that he was the first person to follow Yan Shao, plus he also has a certain number of generals, I am afraid that he has been eliminated at this time.
If this level were to be in other princes, it might be called an unexpected joy, but here in Yan Shao, it is really just a small harvest, and it can only be regarded as a miscellaneous fish.
Therefore, Yan Shao does not regard this level of talent as a harvest at all. What's more, a considerable part of them are actually characters under the command of other princes, if it is similar to Zhao Yun, maybe Yan Shao can run to others to ask for it in person as beforeββββββ of course, after Zhao Yun's example, will there be anyone willing to nod and agree, this is really difficult to say.
But...
One thing is certain, that is, such a 'talent' is not worth Yan Shao's personal visit...
However, there is one thing that Yan Shao does not know, that is, since he discovered Zhao Yun, a so-called talent, almost all the princes have searched under their own accounts, and they have really found many brave warriors.
6 and 70 aside, even if it is 80, that is, a hero who has reached the first-class general, has also been found three or two.
It's not surprising, after all, this is a troubled time, and the most important thing in the troubled times is Haojie. I don't know how many buried talents like Huang Zhong have been buried in history, and not every one of them can stand out with the same luck as Huang Zhong. The soldiers and horses who came to crusade against Dong Zhuo this time were more than 100,000 or 200,000, and it was not impossible to find a few buried talents from them.
It's just that...
Among them, those who can reach the level of Zhao Yun or Tai Shici are not...
However, the actions of the princes have also become an indirect reason why Yan Shao has not been able to gain anything, which he doesn't know...
"Ha..." Raising his hands in front of him, Yan Shao gently sighed towards the position of his palm, let his palm warm up a little, and looked at the gray sky. Forget it, in this weather, I'd better go back to the camp as soon as possible......... Maybe there's really no talent worth discovering..."
How could the armor behind him veto, and immediately replied in a low voice.
There was no even need for any orders, there were already more than a dozen armor soldiers walking in the front to clear the way for Yan Shao.
It's just that...
Just when everyone had not left, they saw a few sergeants running towards this side in a hurry, as if they were still heralds.
Subconsciously, Yan Shao already knew that these people were looking for him, so he immediately stepped forward to ask.
"Except for what?"
When those people saw Yan Shao, their hearts were also dark, especially the person who was the leader, and they hurriedly saluted.
"Lord, the big thing is not good, a spy came to report that there was a big movement in Luoyang, and it is very likely that Dong Zhuo wants to move the capital to Chang'an!"
ββββββββββ Dividing Lineββββββββββ
Dong Zhuo accepted Li Ru's proposal and decided to move the capital to Chang'an, so he ordered someone to call back Lu Bu on the front line, and then gathered the civil and military ministers in the court and looked at the ministers below to directly explain their purpose. "Luoyang, the capital of eastern Han, has been in decline for more than 200 years. I look at the prosperity of Chang'an, and I want to drive the west. You and others should be promoted. β
Dong Zhuo's words caused a commotion among the ministers.
They didn't hear a little bit about what happened recently, after all, there is not a single minister in the court who does not hate Dong Zhuo. At present, almost all the ministers with a little status in the court are a little involved with the princes outside, and even a lot of information about Dong Zhuo was told to the princes by them.
It was also because of this that when the princes formed an alliance to crusade against Dong Zhuo, they were so happy that they almost wanted to sing, but what they didn't expect was. Dong Zhuo, who treats them very tyrannically on weekdays, is now very spineless in the face of the crusade of the coalition forces?
After looking at each other, Yang Ci was already the first to stand up. "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. β
The so-called Situ Wang Yun, the current position is actually not very high, so the position of Situ among the ministers is actually held by the original Yang Ci, which is why he will be the first to speakββββββ Sangong, since he is the head of the ministers, he must always have some responsibility.
Although he had long expected that someone would oppose it, when someone really jumped out to oppose it, Dong Zhuo couldn't help but say angrily. "You're obstructing the country's plans?"
I didn't want to be the captain next to him, Huang Wan, who actually agreed with Yang Ci's opinion. "Yang Situ's words are yes. In the past, Wang Mang usurped and rebelled, and when he began to bare his eyebrows, he 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. β
"The Kanto thieves rise, and the world is in turmoil. Chang'an has the risk of Kuihan, closer to Longyou, wood, stone, bricks, and tiles, Keri can be done, the palace is built, and there is no need for more than a month, and you will rest and talk nonsense. β
This time, Xun Shuang couldn't help but stand up. "If the prime minister wants to move the capital, the people will be in turmoil."
It can be said that almost none of the people here are willing to move the capital. After all, the Han family has been in Luoyang for a long time, and various families have a deep foundation in Luoyang, including various industries. If the capital is moved at this time, no matter how you look at it, it will affect the interests of various families.
What's more, the relationship between the family and Dong Zhuo is now in flames, even if there is no such series of reasons in it, it is impossible for them to agree with Dong Zhuo's proposal.
In front of him, almost none of the important ministers agreed with him, and everyone stood on the opposite side of him, Dong Zhuo was really annoyed this time. "I plan for the world, how can I pity the small people!"
On the same day, Yang Biao, Huang Wan, and Xun Shuang were dismissed as commoners, so that the three dukes were empty in an instant.
When the ministers saw it, although they were resentful in their hearts, they were helpless, and they could only hope that the coalition forces outside the gate could arrive earlier, and they and the Son of Heaven could be rescued from Dong Zhuo's clutches.
But Dong Zhuo walked out of the hall with a snort, and he didn't want to just get into the carriage, when he saw two people bowing down to him over there, Dong Zhuo took a closer look, and it was Shangshu Zhou Yu and Wu Qiongye, the captain of the city gate.
Dong Zhuo asked what was going on, but he didn't want the two of them to come to dissuade him.
Dong Zhuo was already very annoyed before, just because those three people were the third dukes, even with Dong Zhuo's tyranny, it was impossible to easily take the lives of the three dukes, so he could only find a way to demote their official positions and make them commoners. But for these two guys, Dong Zhuo can't be soft, let alone a new hatred and an old hatred, seeing that Dong Zhuo is already smiling.
"I first heard that you two protected Yuan Shao, but now Shao has rebelled, and it is your and other parties."
How could those two people have thought that they are just here to advise now, and they will actually cause a big disaster, but how could Dong Zhuo listen to their defense, there are already armor soldiers who have pushed them out of the capital gate and beheaded them.
ββββββββββ Dividing Lineββββββββββ
The deaths of those two finally suppressed the opposition of the ministers a little.
It's not surprising that those who dare to blatantly fight against Dong Zhuo at this time are either dead or in the coalition army, and the rest may be extremely resentful of Dong Zhuo, but let them jump out and really fight against Dong Zhuo, they really don't have the courage to test whether their necks are hard.
But this is not important, the most important thing is that after the next dynasty, Li Ru came to Dong Zhuo's room and offered a very bad plan.
"There is a shortage of money and food today, and there are many rich households in Luoyang, but they have not entered the government. But Yuan Shao and other subordinates, killing his sect and stealing his family assets, will get a huge amount of money. β
When Dong Zhuo heard this, he immediately sent his iron cavalry to arrest the wealthy households in Luoyang, a total of thousands, planted a flag on the head, and wrote "anti-ministers and anti-party", all of which were cut outside the city and their funds. Li Dao and Guo Yan drove millions of people from Luoyang to Chang'an. One team for each people, one team for the army, dragged each other and died in the ravines, and there are too many to die. and sergeants and women, snatching people's food, crying, shaking 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 in his hand and kills people on the road. Zhuo Linxing taught 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, and robbed the Son of Heaven and the concubine...
On the way to Chang'an, Emperor Xian saw everything that happened along the way, and he could only cry with his head in his arms, and the other ministers were also in tears...
However, how could such a big movement be hidden from others?
After learning that Dong Zhuo had fled Luoyang and fled to Chang'an. Zhao Cen, who was in charge of guarding the pass, directly dedicated the Bishui Pass. It's no wonder that he will be so decisive, but after Dong Zhuo went to Chang'an, there was no one behind him, which meant that he would have to face the crusade of the coalition forces alone.
You must know that there are more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in the coalition army, and how many soldiers and horses can he command? Dong Zhuo moved the capital to Chang'an, it is definitely impossible to leave all the soldiers and horses to him, and he will only take most of them with him...
At this time, if he doesn't hurry up and give up the pass, I'm afraid that he will be a real fool and a fool...
On the other hand, when they learned that Dong Zhuo had actually done such a tyrannical act, everyone was shocked and sent troops into Luoyang one after another.
Even the generals under Yan Shao's account were shocked when they learned about it.
"Dong Zhuo, a national thief, dares to do such a thing, isn't he afraid of retribution..."Looking at the scorched earth under his feet and the naked female corpses on the side of the road, Zhao Yun clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.
The other generals around him were also angry, even if they were all accustomed to seeing bloody characters on the battlefield, but they had never seen such a bloody scene. Especially after seeing the brutal evidence of the crime in the corner of Luoyang, he couldn't wait to kill Dong Zhuo with his own hands...
However, after listening to Zhao Yun's words, Yan Shao couldn't help but smile bitterly. "Retribution, what bad person in this world died because of retribution? The only one who can give him retribution is us, but most of the princes are rabble, and they don't have the same heart, and it is too difficult to rely on them to repay Dong Zhuo..."
The other generals were silent, and they were not unclear about the situation of the princes, with those loose soldiers and horses, it was indeed difficult to deal with Dong Zhuo.
However, after listening to Yan Shao's words, Zhao Yun was a little excited. "But there are still us in the coalition army, as well as the Lord of the Yuan League, and there are heroes like General Gongsun and General Sun, as long as we and other loyal people work together, it is not without the power of a battle!"
However, after listening to his words, the wry smile on Yan Shao's face became even stronger.
"General Sun? In a little while, you'll know everything..."
The generals looked at each other and didn't understand what he said, but Yan Shao just looked at Luoyang, which had been burned to the ground, and didn't say a word... (To be continued.) )
