Chapter 226: Preparations for Each

Xiliang Army, camp. Bubble *book* bar ()

In Dong Zhuo's big tent, Dong Zhuo sat on the main seat, Li Ru sat on the left side, and Li Dao sat on the right side.

The other generals of the Xiliang Army were not present, and they were sent to stabilize the morale of the army and comfort the soldiers.

Dong Zhuo's face was gloomy, his eyes were cold, and he said in a deep voice: "In today's battle, I know the courage of the princes, although I barely have the upper hand in the battle with the princes, but Lu Bu was besieged by the four generals sent by Yuan Shao, and he couldn't get away from himself to kill the enemy generals, and the Flying Bear Army was dragged by the cavalry on the left and right flanks arranged by Yuan Shao, and he couldn't attack. The situation is deadlocked, if it goes on like this, I am afraid it will be difficult to win, if there is a change in the DPRK and China, it will be difficult to take into account internal and external troubles, it is difficult to take into account, Wenyou, childish, you two are resourceful, can there be a solution? ”

Li Wei pinched his short beard under his chin, shook his head and sighed, and said, "Taishi, the princes are powerful, and I am afraid it will be difficult to deal with." ”

Speaking of which, Li Dao did not continue.

Dong Zhuo has a short temper, but he is not an elm head, and he can hear Li Dao's voice. Li Dao's secretive speech was actually suggesting that Dong Zhuo withdraw his troops.

Li Dao was also afraid that Dong Zhuo would be angry, so he didn't dare to say it directly.

Dong Zhuo smiled coldly and asked: "Childish, if the army retreats to Luoyang, and the army of the princes approaches Luoyang and surrounds Luoyang, won't it become a turtle in the urn, and it will have to fight a decisive battle with the army of the princes." If this is the case, it is better to take advantage of the morale of the army and let the army fight with the princes, maybe there is still a chance to defeat the princes. ”

I have to say that Dong Zhuo's words have some truth.

If Dong Zhuo withdrew his troops and returned to Luoyang, and Yuan Shao led a large army to approach Luoyang, Dong Zhuo would have to fight a decisive battle with Yuan Shao.

In this case, Dong Zhuo's Xiliang army did not dare to fight with the princes' army because of its initiative to retreat, which would inevitably lead to low morale of the Xiliang army, and it was not as strong as the current decisive battle with the princes' army.

After Li Dao heard this, he was speechless.

Dong Zhuo is rude and domineering, unscrupulous, but his brain is very good, otherwise it would be impossible to dominate the world, and he will have fun with palace maids and concubines on the dragon bed every day.

The corners of Li Ru's mouth hooked, and he said with a smile: "Taishi, it's not impossible to withdraw the army. ”

Dong Zhuo was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately asked: "What is Wenyou's good plan, come quickly." ”

Dong Zhuo rubbed his hands, with an eager look in his eyes, now Dong Zhuo is in a high position, and he is very bold, he dares to sleep with palace maids and concubines, and dares to kill people in public in the palace, but with the rise of power, he is also more afraid of death. In other words, Dong Zhuo when he was young, he directly led the army to fight with the army of the princes, how could he consider retreating. has been in a high position for a long time, although the momentum and identity are different, but he is more life-sparing, and wants to live longer and enjoy more.

Li Dao also hurriedly asked, "Mr. Li, what is the best plan, let's talk about it quickly." ”

Li Rusen's cold gaze swept at Li Dao, and said slowly: "If you take the initiative to retreat, you can't return to Luoyang, because once you lead the army back to Luoyang, you will definitely be besieged by the princes' army, and Luoyang will be surrounded. Therefore, since he wanted to retreat, he should do it simply and decisively, coerce the emperor, hundreds of officials in the court, and concubines in the palace, and move the capital to Chang'an. ”

"Move the capital?"

"Move the capital to Chang'an?"

Li Dao and Dong Zhuo both exclaimed in surprise, and their eyes showed infinite surprise.

What is the concept of moving the capital, since Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty set the capital of Luoyang, it has not changed, and the current emperor has been twelve generations of emperors for more than two hundred years. If Dong Zhuo moves the capital to Chang'an, wouldn't it be that the national Zuo will be damaged, the royal family will be disgraced, and the royal temple and royal mausoleum will also be in Luoyang.

Not to mention how big the impact is, it is impossible for the important ministers of the court alone to agree.

Li Dao said: "Mr. Li, you have to be cautious about such an important matter as moving the capital?" ”

Dong Zhuo was not afraid, and after exclaiming, a happy smile appeared on his face, and said: "It's still Wenyou who is resourceful, and when he speaks, Lone's eyes suddenly brighten, and he will no longer be covered by the fog." Chang'an is blocked by Hangu Pass, and it is close to Longyou, and it is closer to Xiliang, and our Xiliang army can raise troops to support at any time. Well, although the palace of Chang'an was burned down by Wang Mang, it can also be repaired quickly, as long as you retreat to Chang'an and occupy the danger, even if the army of the princes is menacing, you don't have to worry. ”

Dong Zhuo is not a person who is afraid of things, after listening to Li Ru's words, he immediately figured out the subtleties.

With Dong Zhuo's arrogant and domineering character, the opposition of the important ministers of the DPRK and the central government is just a problem that he can solve with one sentence.

No one would doubt that Dong Zhuo's knife was not good.

As long as there is an army, as long as there is power, Dong Zhuo is not afraid of opposition from courtiers.

Li Dao was still a little worried, and said, "Master, this matter is too important, please ......."

Dong Zhuo's smiling face suddenly became gloomy, and he shouted: "Li Zhiran, after entering Luoyang, has your courage become smaller?" ”

In a word, Li Dao broke out in a cold sweat.

Most of the generals under Dong Zhuo's command were unruly and bold. Dong Zhuo said this about Li Dao, which made Li Dao's heart hang up immediately, and he was worried and uneasy, afraid of Dong Zhuo's punishment. After thinking about it, Li Wei suddenly stood up from his seat, walked to the center of the big tent, knelt on the ground with a bang, and said, "Taishi, the last general is just ......."

Dong Zhuo shook his head and said, "Okay, get up, don't be afraid of death just because the official is big, isn't it just an important minister in the court, what is there to fear?" ”

Li Dao thought that Dong Zhuo would be angry, but he didn't expect Dong Zhuo to not pursue it, and he was relieved in his heart.

Dong Zhuo ignored Li Dao and asked: "Wen You, if my army retreats, it will definitely be discovered by the princes, if the princes' army pursues it like a mad dog, it will definitely affect the retreat of our army, so if you want to withdraw all the army to Chang'an, you must drag out the princes' army, what advice does Wen You have?" ”

After Li Ru heard this, he suddenly fell silent.

After a long time, Li Ru said: "Taishi, if you want to retreat safely, tomorrow I will continue to let Duting Hou Lu Bu lead the army to fight, drag the princes' allies, and let the princes think that our army has not left." As long as Lu Bu dragged the princes for two days, Taishi could lead the army to retreat to Chang'an. After the Taishi retreats, Lu Bu will also follow, so it is necessary to order Xu Rong to lead the soldiers to ambush on the way back to Luoyang, and when the pursuers come, Xu Rong will let the pursuing soldiers go, and Li Dao will lead the Flying Bear Army and Lu Bu to the palace, responsible for defeating the army that came to pursue, and when the defeated army escapes, you can let Xu Rong's army attack and completely defeat the pursuers. ”

After Dong Zhuo heard this, he applauded loudly.

The matter of retreat was thus decided.

……

The princes' camp, the princes of all walks of life returned to their camps and began to count the soldiers and treat the wounded.

After Yuan Shao returned to the camp, he immediately convened Xu Yu and Feng Ji to discuss the matter.

As for Xun Yu, who was with Yuan Shao, he didn't know where he had gone for a long time, and Yuan Shao didn't ask Xun Yu's whereabouts and let Xun Yu leave. Yuan Shao had a dark face and said in a deep voice: "Ziyuan, today is fighting with Dong Zhuo, regardless of victory or defeat, it is difficult to defeat Dong Zhuo, what is Ziyuan's best strategy to defeat Dong Zhuo?" ”

Xu You stroked his long beard and asked with some surprise: "Lord, in addition to Wang Can, there is also the army of the princes of the Eighteen Routes, can't you defeat Dong Zhuo?" ”

Yuan Shao nodded with difficulty and said, "Well, Dong Zhuo's soldiers are strong and brave, and they are difficult to defeat." ”

Xu You said: "My lord, since this is the case, my lord will not move for a while, and see how the other princes react." If the other princes can fight together to defeat Dong Zhuo, then the lord will also send troops to denounce Dong Zhuo with the flow, if the other princes don't want to resist Dong Zhuo, the lord doesn't need to contribute, he just needs to stand still like all the princes. ”

Yuan Shao showed his unwillingness and said: "But Luoyang is close at hand, wouldn't it be a waste of a great opportunity not to approach Luoyang." ”

Xu You shook his head and said: "Lord, as the leader of the princes' alliance, you already have the merit of conquering the Tiger Prison Pass and defeating Lu Bu, and your reputation is also all over the world, whether you can capture Luoyang or not is the same for the lord." The lord has the title of the lord of the princes' alliance, and with a wave of his arms, there must be countless talents and generals attached, which is what the lord needs most, and since this goal has been achieved, the lord does not need to care about other gains and losses. ”

Interests, what Xu Yu values is tangible interests.

Compared with entering Luoyang, Xu You is more inclined to Yuan Shao to dominate one side, without losing being constrained by those bad things in the imperial court.

Yuan Shao wanted to follow Huo Guang's path and finally take Wang Mang's path, but this matter naturally couldn't be said to Xu You, he sighed and said: "Looking at today's situation, the princes from all walks of life have different thoughts, and their hearts ache that the soldiers under their command have been hit hard, and they will definitely refuse to send troops." Since this is the case, then hold your ground, Dong Zhuo is a fierce tiger, if he can't be killed, he won't be provoked. ”

Xu Yu and Feng Ji said at the same time: "The lord is wise! ”

Yuan Shaoxin said that he couldn't even attack Luoyang, so how could he be wise.

With a wave of his hand, Yuan Shao sent Xu You and Feng Ji away, and sat alone in the camp tent, alone in a daze.

……

Wang Can camp.

After Wang Can returned to the camp, Xun You and Guo Jia rushed to Wang Can's camp to inquire about the situation.

Wang Can told the process of the battle between the princes' army and Dong Zhuo, and finally said: "Gongda, this battle and Dong Zhuo fought a decisive victory, Dong Zhuo did not take advantage of the slightest advantage, and the princes' allies are also half a catty, I am afraid that there will be no new movements in a short time, so that the soldiers can settle down and do not need to set off with the whole army for the time being." ”

Originally, Wang Can expected defeat or victory, but now it has become a stalemate.

After Guo Jia heard this, he shook his head and said, "Lord, Dong Zhuo took the initiative to withdraw his troops, I am afraid that he is worried in his heart, and Dong Zhuo is likely to take the initiative to retreat." ”

Wang Can asked, "Fengxiao, why is this?" ”

Guo Jia said: "My lord, Dong Zhuo led the army to the battle, Luoyang was empty, and the ministers of the court and central government lost Dong Zhuo's pressure, maybe they would do something surprising to give Dong Zhuo a counterattack." Therefore, Dong Zhuo is not only facing the attack of the princes' allies, but also the resistance from the important ministers of the court, internal and external troubles, Dong Zhuo cannot lead the army to be outside for a long time, once a stalemate is formed, Dong Zhuo can only withdraw the army, otherwise the army will be dragged down, Luoyang may change, Jia speculates that Dong Zhuo will withdraw the army in a few days. ”

Wang Can pondered for a moment, his eyes lit up, and he laughed and said, "Feng Xiao Gao Jian!" ”

Guo Jia smiled and didn't speak, he was Wang Can's advisor, and his duty was to give advice to Wang Can.

At this time, Pei Yuanshao strode in, saluted Wang Can, and said, "Lord, Cao Cao is visiting." ”

Wang Can raised his eyebrows and said, "Let him come in." ”

Pei Yuanshao got the order and turned to leave. After a while, Cao Cao came to the camp. Wang Can got up to greet him and said, "Brother Meng De, I just returned to the camp, and the unstable military spirit came to my camp instead, is there anything important?" ”

Cao Cao looked serious and said, "Come for the future of the allies!" ”

The tone was low and very solemn.
