Cao Cao, Liu Bei and others saw that the strength of the imperial court was already twice that of Dong Zhuo, plus Ding Yuan's annexed state army, so they wanted to use force to pressure Dong Zhuo to retreat to Liangzhou, and then slowly plot.

Leading troops in the prosperous Central Plains is definitely an unbearable loss for the Han Dynasty. The Central Plains had a large population, and if the war reduced grain production and caused famine, it would be impossible to say that a peasant revolt would occur. The lessons of the Yellow Turban Rebellion are vivid. But as long as there is room for reluctance, the imperial court is unwilling to start a war under Luoyang City.

But Cao Cao and the others didn't expect that Han Sui and Ma Teng acted too much, and directly cut off the back road of the Xiliang people, making it difficult for Dong Zhuo to ride the tiger, and he couldn't return to Xiliang, only Luoyang had a decisive battle.

With lightning speed, the imperial court swept away the Xiliang army that remained in Luoyang City, and completely mastered the defense of Luoyang City. Dong Zhuo began to negotiate and let Dong Zhuo lead the Western Liang army back to Liangzhou. There is no point for Dong Zhuo to stay in Luoyang any longer.

Dong Zhuo took the opportunity to pretend to agree, saying that he wanted to comfort his subordinates, and asked the imperial court to prepare the grain and grass for the retreating troops. The imperial court thought that Dong Zhuo was retreating in the face of difficulties, and the current situation was the best choice for Dong Zhuo to retreat.

If the imperial court can spend some money and food to let Dong Zhuo withdraw from the army, it is still worth it to save the agricultural areas around Luoyang from being looted by soldiers. Besides, no one was willing to fight against the Xiliang cavalry in the plains, the tiger and leopard cavalry were unwilling, the first camp was unwilling, and the Wuhuan people were even more unwilling. The Wuhuan people just keep their faces open and obey the dispatch of the Han, so let the Wuhuan people fight a tough battle.

Cao Cao, Liu Bei and others were still waiting for Dong Zhuo's reply, but they didn't know that Li Ru had quietly left the camp in Xiliang and went to Chang'an. In Li Ru's intelligence, Chang'an has a figure who can solve the problems in front of him.

"Mr. Qiu, it's a good luck. Unexpectedly, Mr. Qiu Lijuqiu, who was in Youzhou, was like a lost dog, living in this Chang'an City. Li Ru led people to get rid of the guards guarding Qiu Liju and faced Qiu Liju directly.

Qiu Liju has been detained by the imperial court in Chang'an, and few people know about this matter. Zhou Yi didn't know, and thought that he was being detained in Luoyang or had been secretly executed. Li Ru didn't know where to find out where he was looking at Qiu Liju.

"Qiu is just a guilty person, living here in seclusion and not asking about the world. I'm afraid I'm going to be disappointed, sir, so please go back. "More than a year of imprisonment has made Qiu Liju a lot more elegant.

"Mr. Qiu is really free and easy, I don't know that the Wuhuan tribe will be wiped out. If Mr. Qiu doesn't care about such a thing, then Li will come for nothing. Li Ru laughed loudly.

"Mr. Qiu's words don't understand." Hearing the disaster of extermination, Qiu Liju could no longer be calm, and he had to pretend to be very calm.

"Li Mouming doesn't say secret words, Wuhuan Iron Cavalry obeys the dispatch of the imperial court, and has been fighting in the south and north for more than a year. The number of people has been sharply reduced from 10,000 to 6,000 or 7,000, and if this continues, 10,000 will not be long before the entire army is annihilated. If all the 10,000 cavalry are lost in the Central Plains, and the men in the tribes on the grassland do not grow up, it will be the end of the extermination. Li Ru intimidated Qiu Liju, but Wuhuan still suffered three percent of the battle losses.

"Isn't there still a big man? At the beginning, the imperial court guaranteed the livelihood of the tribes on the grassland. Qiu Liju asked rhetorically.

"The Imperial Court? The imperial court is now too busy to take care of itself, where can there be any time to care about the life and death of your tribe. Li Ru sneered, and then Li Ru explained the situation of the imperial court to Qiu Liju. Qiu Liju has been isolated from the world for more than a year, so he naturally doesn't know the situation outside.

"The court is chaotic, but there is still Youzhou Mu Liu Yuna? Liu Yu's personality is still reliable. "It was Liu Yu of Youzhou who made the promise on behalf of the imperial court.

"You said Liu Yu, Liu Yu is now promoted to lieutenant, and he is also trapped in Luoyang City. The current Youzhou Mu is Zhou Yi, the previous general of the Broken Prisoner, you should know. Li Ru laughed shamefully.

Zhou Yi, of course Qiu Liju hated it to the core, if it wasn't for Zhou Yi's horizontal insertion, how could he lose the duel with Gongsun Zhan. The Wuhuan tribe has fallen to this point, Zhou Yi is the culprit, and Qiu Lijuyan can forget it.

"The court is chaotic, but it is an opportunity for my generation. At present, Dong Dashuai and the Kwantung garrison will hunt in Luoyang, and Mr. Qiu is not willing to be lonely. Just take this opportunity to let the Wuhuan Iron Cavalry break away from the control of the Han Dynasty, return to the grassland, and regain its former glory. Li Ru encouraged Qiu Liju to go out of the mountain and take control of the Wuhuan Iron Cavalry from the beginning. Cut off the combat power that the Han relied on the most.

Li Ru's words undoubtedly made Qiu Liju very excited, but Qiu Liju still had his own ideas.

I want to lead my troops back to the grassland, but it is impossible for Dahan to quickly end the infighting. If the imperial court quickly stabilizes the situation, no matter who is in power, the first to use troops abroad will definitely be to attack me. I am a traitor to a great man, challenging the majesty of the imperial court, and the imperial court must kill me and make an example of me.

If the Han court is divided and caught in internal strife, then I can take this opportunity to sit on the grassland.

How can we make the Central Plains civil strife?

Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty had two sons, and if both sons inherited the throne and the brothers killed each other, the supporters of the two emperors would also be involved. This is the most influential force of the Han Dynasty, just like after the death of the Xiongnu's old Shan Yu, several sons each recruited a group of people for Shan Yu's position and went their own way.

The weakening of the court of the Central Plains Dynasty was due to the instability of the imperial throne, the division of local territories, and the struggle for power in the palace. The people of the Central Plains will fight for the emperor, and they will not give up if they do not distinguish the final winner. However, it is much more cruel than the grassland contention, and the most few forces in the big singles are not convinced, and they are just separated from each other.

Originally, the emperor of the Central Plains was inherited by his eldest son, and other princes had no chance. But now is a godsend, and various power groups are fighting for power in Luoyang.

If you add fuel to the fire, you may not be able to succeed. And once the Central Plains fell into infighting, it had no time to take care of things on the grassland.

Qiu Liju applauded his brilliant idea, and all that remained was to make the idea come true and slowly refine the plan.

"Mr. Qiu, how are you thinking about it?" Li Ru saw that Qiu Liju was silent for a long time, and couldn't help urging.

"Mr. Li, I can grant your request. But in the future, I will lead my men and horses back to the grassland, and you shall not hinder me. and provide us with weapons, food, and grass, and shelter. The other party is asking for help, and Qiu Liju took advantage of this to put forward his own request.

"This Mr. Qiu rest assured, Mr. Qiu and the Wuhuan cavalry are free, and the Wuhuan people should also have their own habitat, and they don't have to send people under the fence all the time." Li Ru made a guarantee, anyway, it's not his own territory, you can go wherever you want.

Li Rucai doesn't care about the interests of the court, as long as it is not his own, no one will write a blank check.

What Qiu Liju wants is an attitude, and the attitude of the ruler towards the Wuhuan people is given to him himself.

I have to say that Qiu Liju, a person who knows the political logic of the grassland and the Central Plains, is terrible, and has perfected his plan on the way to Dong Zhuo's camp.

With the help of Dong Zhuo, Qiu Liju secretly got in touch with the Wuhuan Iron Cavalry and commanded the Wuhuan people to carry out the operation.

Of course, he didn't act according to Dong Zhuo's intentions, but chose the plan he thought of on the road.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the young emperor to go to the temple, the Wuhuan people launched a riot, kidnapped the young emperor Liu Wei, broke through the west gate of Luoyang, and rushed out of the city. Also out of the city were several princes and ministers who supported Dong Zhuo. When Cao Cao and the others arrived, they were already sighing with admiration, and the whip was beyond their reach.

Not to mention how the people in Luoyang City were annoyed, Dong Zhuo was furious at this time:

"Mr. Qiu, I asked you to cooperate with the Xiliang Army. It's good that you took matters into your own hands, kidnapped the emperor, and trapped me in an unkind and unjust place. ”

"Dong Dashuai, you still have benevolence and righteousness. The imperial court is already hostile to the Xiliang army, and the emperor is in their hands, and sooner or later he will turn around against you. Now that the emperor is in our hands, they have no leader, and it is the time for the people of Xiliang to show their skills. Master Dong, I'm here to help you. Qiu Liju replied loudly. With the Wuhuan tribe as a backer, Qiu Liju was not afraid of Dong Zhuo.

Does Dong Zhuo still dare to go to war? Let's consider the situation at hand. The imperial court will definitely fight to regain the emperor, and the next war is what Dong Zhuo has to consider.

Dong Zhuo was speechless angrily, and Qiu Liju walked away. But before leaving, I would like to leave one sentence:

"Lord Dong doesn't have to worry about this, Qiu has already thought about removing it for Lord Dong, it is better for Lord Dong to take the emperor west to Chang'an and set up another court. At that time, Lord Dong will have the skill of following the dragon, hahahaha......"

I have to say that Qiu Liju's words are indeed the best choice for Xiliang Group.

Originally, it was not to the point of last resort, and no one would re-establish the emperor and move the capital, and the Central Plains paid attention to the inheritance of the throne. However, Qiu Liju pointed out the way for Dong Zhuo with the usual practice on the grassland, of course, it was a road of no return, but it was also the only path that Dong Zhuo was willing to take.

Let Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao and Liu Bei talk peacefully, how is it possible? Now it is a never-ending situation.

If you can't capture Luoyang, you can't go back to Xiliang, it's better to go west to Chang'an, anyway, the emperor is in our hands, and we have the final say.

Occupying the Qin land and commanding the world is a great temptation for Dong Zhuo.

The king of Qin swept Liuhe, and looked at He Xiongzai.

Swing your sword to break the clouds, and the princes will come to the west.

It's exciting to think about.

No one in the Xiliang Group will oppose Dong Zhuo at this time, and the path taken by Dong Zhuo is also the best choice for the Xiliang Group.

Dong Zhuo pushed off the negotiations with the imperial court as much as he could, delayed time, and sent Hua Xiong and Xu Rong to Chang'an.

When the Xiliang army took Chang'an (there was no resistance to Chang'an), Dong Zhuoshuai's troops abandoned Luoyang and went straight to Chang'an. At this time, Liu Bei and Cao Cao knew Dong Zhuo's plan.

In fact, this is not to blame everyone, no one would have imagined the perennial mindset that Dong Zhuo would coerce the Son of Heaven to Chang'an.

This is a great rebellion, and no one in the Central Plains will do this.

However, Dong Zhuo's thinking logic is obviously different from that of the Central Plains, as long as it is temporarily beneficial to him, he will do it.

Qiu Liju saw that Dong Zhuo really took the young emperor to stay in Chang'an, and knew that the big thing had been accomplished. Led the Wuhuan people to rob all the way and returned to the Wuhuan station. If it weren't for the fear, Youzhou got the news and sent troops to intercept it, Qiu Liju really wanted to rob it in the Central Plains.

Unexpectedly, the river of history turned around and still went in the established direction.

But can one step into the same river twice?
