0354:Relocation of the capital to Chang'an (2)
In a few days, under the persecution of the bright spears and sharp knives, the people of Luoyang and the surrounding counties and townships have embarked on the road of leaving their hometowns. Their faces were filled with misery, unwillingness, sadness, and ...... Uncertainty about the future.
With such a huge migration operation, it is naturally impossible to hide it from the coalition forces, but Dong Zhuo originally had no intention of hiding anyone, except for the impossible to hide, he didn't think that those coalition forces could do anything to him at all. After all, now that the coalition forces are still in a state of assembly, it is impossible to send troops to attack Sili.
Therefore, Dong Zhuo not only did not care about the movements of the coalition army, but also asked Xu Rong to lead the southern army to the Yangcheng area of Yingchuan County, Yuzhou, and continue to plunder the people. The area around Yangcheng is only more than 300 miles away from Luoyang, and even if you add the people, it won't take half a month to go back and forth.
Well, the most important thing is because Dong Zhuo wants to find a suitable excuse to transfer the southern army who is responsible for guarding the cemetery. Otherwise, how could Niu Fu lead people to dig the mausoleum?
"Bastard! That Dong Zhuo really has no one in his eyes! Yuzhou Thorn Shi Kong Ling roared angrily after getting the news. If Dong Zhuo sent troops to attack, it would be forgotten, and even Kong Ling would be complacent, thinking that Dong Zhuo was afraid of himself. But now, Dong Zhuo just sent people to rob the people? Isn't this a blatant disdain for yourself?
"Gather your troops now! Kill all those thieves with me! Kong Ling ordered loudly.
"Don't make it! Now most of the troops in the city have gone to Sujube to assemble, and there are not many troops available. Instead of giving orders to let the people take refuge in the city, let the counties be prepared. At the same time, it was the best policy to ask General Yuan in Nanyang for help. The chief bookkeeper, Xu Jing, objected loudly.
"Needless to say! I'll raise an army against thieves! Not only for the Han community, but also for the local people! Now the thief army is killing the people under my nose, if I ignore it, how will the world look at me?! What will the scholars say about me?! Kong Ling shouted.
Hearing this, Xu Jing shook his head and sighed, but he didn't persuade again, because when he heard the last words, he understood that he couldn't persuade Kong Ling. Face...... Sometimes once you lose it, you can never get it back.
Immediately, Kong Ling asked Xu Jing to guard Yangzhai, and he gathered more than 10,000 soldiers and horses and quickly rushed to Yangcheng. In his mind, Dong Zhuo's troops must have been scattered in various places to plunder the people at this time, and there would definitely not be many enemies he would need to face at that time.
It's just that...... Although it was true that he faced many enemies, he still lost. After Xu Rong learned the news, he personally led 2,000 elite people to ambush Kong Ling's inevitable path, not only defeated Kong Ling's army, but Kong Ling was killed by an arrow on the spot.
When the news came out, the morale of the coalition forces suddenly plummeted, and Cao Cao, Zhang Miao and others had to quickly contact the members of the coalition forces in the neighboring divisions and warned them that they must not send troops to meet the enemy without permission.
After all, before the war began, his side lost an ally first, and was defeated by the troops that plundered the people...... Although Cao Cao and others mourned Kong Ling on the surface, they didn't know how many times they cursed in their hearts.
However, there is still one brother who is very happy about Kong Ling's death, and that is the later general Yuan Shu. After all, if Kong Ling didn't die, it would be really difficult for him to install people in Yuzhou. But now...... He doesn't need to have so many scruples.
On the other side, Zhu Jun, who left Luoyang, went all the way north to Bingzhou. Yes, he finally chose Li Yi. After all, Zhu Jun is a famous general who pacified the Yellow Turban, and he was once worshiped as the general of the right chariot with 2,000 stones in the ranks, whether in terms of status or prestige, among the many members of the coalition army, only Li Yi can make Zhu Jun willingly surrender.
"What? Dong Zhuo moved the people around Luoyang to Chang'an?! Li Yi looked at Zhu Jun in shock, as if he didn't believe his words. However, looking at the expressions of the people around him, it was obvious that Li Yi was not the only one who was shocked.
"Yes! Moreover, Dong Zhuo also planned to move the capital to Chang'an, and for this reason, Huang Taiwei and Yang Situ and other opponents were all deposed. Zhu Jun said indignantly.
"How so?!" Li Yi thought anxiously in his heart. Since Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, Li Yi has been thinking about how to profit from the subsequent crusade against Dong Zhuo. Among them, moving the capital to Chang'an is the plan that Li Yi spent the most time planning. Bingzhou is sparsely populated, and if he can find an opportunity to take most of the people away when Dong Zhuo moves the capital, it will be of great benefit to Li Yi's future development.
And it's not just the population, Li Yike still remembers that Dong Zhuo took the opportunity to make a lot of money when he moved the people! If you can rob it......
But now, some plans are as shattered as a mirror, how can Li Yi accept it?!
"Alas, it's probably because of my existence......" Li Yi thought helplessly, he had already guessed why Dong Zhuo moved the capital directly before the war started.
Historically, Bingzhou was under the joint rule of the Huns, the Baibo Army, and the Montenegrin Army, which allowed Dong Zhuo to only consider the enemy forces in Jizhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou and other places. He could even contact the Huns, the White Polish Army, and even the Montenegrin Army to fight against the coalition forces.
But now, Li Yi's existence made him full of fear, even if he had sent people to guard Zuo Fengyi and Hedong County, Dong Zhuo still couldn't rest assured. After all, he didn't just have to face Li Yi.
At the same time, there was silence in the hall, everyone was digesting the news, and Li Yi was still silent, but he was considering whether there was any way to get those people and money in his hands in this situation.
It's a pity that he can't think of any way to think about it. In his plan, when Dong Zhuo moved the capital, he should at least invade Hedong County, but now, he is still staying in Bingzhou. Although with the speed of the flying cavalry, he could easily avoid the enemy troops in Hedong and Zuo Fengyi, and catch up with the millions of people who were migrating.
But the question is, even if he catches up, how can he persuade these people to go with him? And how to take those civilians under the siege of the enemy army? It's simply impossible, and it will lead you and the Flying Cavalry into a corner.
Giving up the idea of grabbing people with Dong Zhuo, Li Yi then couldn't help but sigh, "Alas, more than one million people, I don't know how many will be able to reach Chang'an in the end...... " Even in the future, more than one million people will migrate on foot, I am afraid that there will be countless casualties, let alone in this era.
"Yes...... Zhu Jun also sighed, but then, looking at Li Yi and saying with expectation, "Zikang, I believe that you will be able to defeat that Dong thief and revive the dynasty!" ”
