"Ah...... Moving the capital? ”

Dong Zhuo exclaimed and looked at Li Ru.

The move of the capital was a big deal, and he had never thought about it.

"Yes, move the capital." Li Ru nodded, and then paced to Dong Zhuo and analyzed: "Chang'an is a vast land with abundant people, and it is located in the eastern part of the country, and it is also the place where the granaries were built, and it is also the place where the emperors of the past dynasties built their capitals. In addition, the lord has been operating there for many years and has a strong foundation. To the northeast is the Peach Forest Fortress that only needs a thousand people to defend, and to the east is the Hangu Heavenly Insurance, which is a man who can not be opened. You can avoid the front of the masses, and you can defend it with danger. Hasn't Ming Gong heard such a nursery rhyme? ”

"Nursery rhymes?"

Dong Zhuo was puzzled.

He lives in the palace, and he hasn't even returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion recently, how can he listen to nursery rhymes?

"Today's Luoyang market nursery rhyme: a Han in the west, a Han in the east, the deer into Chang'an, there is no difficulty!"

Li Ru asked Dong Zhuo rhetorically.

"What do you mean?"

Dong Zhuo was puzzled again.

"The first Han in the west should be Gaozu Wang in the western capital of Chang'an, to Emperor Ping, and to pass on the twelve emperors. The first Han in the east is Ying Guangwu Wang in the eastern capital of Luoyang, at least the emperor, but also the twelve emperors. If the fortune of heaven returns, if the Ming Duke moves back to Chang'an, he will be safe. ”

Li Ru explained to Dong Zhuo in a colorful voice.

"If it's not yours, I really don't understand! Nursery rhyme, meaning providence, good! Send someone to inform the soldiers of the Tiger Prison and the Revolving Gate Pass to return to Luoyang in the starry night to discuss the relocation of the capital. ”

Dong Zhuo ordered left and right.

"The tiger prison withdraws its troops, and the enemy will chase after it. can make Xu Rong ambush next to the mountain dock west of Chenggao, which way the princes pursue, give him a head-on blow, and the princes of all walks of life will not dare to chase again. ”

Li Ru offered advice to Dong Zhuo again.

Dong Zhuoyi summed it up and felt reasonable, so he listened to Li Ru's strategy.

Two days later, only a small number of soldiers were left in the Tiger Prison Pass to guard the pass, and Lu Bu withdrew to the revolving gate with most of the rest.

Xu Rong, the general under Dong Zhuo, led 20,000 soldiers and horses, ambushed them, and waited for the princes from all walks of life who dared to pursue.

Above the court meeting, hundreds of civil and military officials arrived.

Dong Zhuo proposed to move the capital with a sword.

It was immediately opposed by the Minister of Civil Affairs and Military Affairs.

"The land of Guanzhong, facing the Qiang chaos, Han Sui and others are not peaceful, and it is really a dangerous place. Now there is no reason to donate the temple and 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 supervise. ”

Faced with the matter of moving the capital, Yang Biao, who has always been steady, did not hesitate to advise Dong Zhuo.

"Who dares to stand in the way of the country's plans?"

After Dong Zhuo heard this, he ignored the Son of Heaven behind him and pulled out his sword at once.

"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; Moreover, the people have migrated, and the people in Chang'an Sanfu are less than one-twelfth of Luoyang. It is not appropriate to abandon the palace and go to the wasteland today. ”

Taiwei Huang Wan also got up and said to Dong Zhuo, not afraid of Dong Zhuo's sword.

He vaguely understood why Dong Zhuo was in a hurry to move the capital? The fire of Kanto is getting closer and closer to Luoyang.

"Haha! This simplicity has moved all the people in the Sili area to Chang'an, and Chang'an is also no less prosperous than Luoyang. ”

Dong Zhuo laughed and said: "The thieves led by Liu Fan and Er Yuan in the Kanto region have sown chaos in the world. Chang'an has the risk of Kuihan, closer to Longyou, wood, stone, bricks and tiles, Keri can be done, palace construction, no need for more than a month. ”

"The prime minister wants to move the people, but he has thought that millions of people in the Sili area will be killed and injured because of the riots once they move." Sikong Xun Shuang admonished again.

"I plan for the world, how can I pity the small people? Thou shalt not say much, or my sword will not have eyes. ”

Dong Zhuo was furious. He waved his sword.

On the same day, Yang Biao, Xun Shuang, and Huang Wan were demoted to commoners by Dong Zhuo under the pretense of the will of the Son of Heaven.

Dong Zhuo had just returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion from the palace, only to see the two of them looking at the car.

Dong Zhuo saw that it was Shangshu Zhou Yu and Wu Qiong, the captain of the city gate.

"What?"

Dong Zhuo asked.

"Now I heard that the prime minister wants to move the capital to Chang'an, so I came to admonish him."

Wu Qiong arched his hand and said.

"I listened to you two at the beginning, and I used Yuan Shao; Now Yuan Shao has rebelled, it is a party such as you! Someone, dragged out and cut down. ”

Dong Zhuo disagreed and would order the two ministers to be killed.

Dong Zhuo's move also deterred other courtiers who opposed the relocation of the capital.

Then, in order to obtain a large amount of military money and food, Dong Zhuo named the rich households in Luoyang City as "trumped-up" crimes.

Dispatched five or six thousand iron horsemen to capture the wealthy households in Luoyang, a total of thousands. In the name of the party of rebels, they were all beheaded outside the city.

Then he sent people to search out all the grain, money, gold, silver and jewelry of these rich families and serve as Dong Zhuo's private property.

Li Dao and Guo Yan received Dong Zhuo's order. led soldiers and horses to expel the local people from Hou, Yanshi and other places.

Lu Bu and other soldiers and horses under the Tiger Prison expelled the local people from Chenggao and Gong counties.

South of the Yellow River, west of Xingyang, and north of Yuzhou, millions of people were expelled.

Anyone who does not obey the order will be dealt with by bloody means.

The road from Luoyang to Chang'an is not far, but it takes a month or even longer to drive millions of people.

One team for each people, one team for the middle army, dragging each other; The number of people who died in the ravines is innumerable. and sergeant *** female, snatching people's food; The sound of crying shook the heavens and the earth.

If there is a person who is late, the three thousand Xiliang cavalry behind him will urge the superintendent, and the army will kill people on the road with white blades in their hands.

Before Dong Zhuoxi entered, in order to cut off the thoughts of civil and military officials and the people, he taught Zhumen to set fire to the Luoyang Palace and the people's houses. and burned the temple as well.

The north and south palaces, the flames are connected, and the Changle palace is all scorched earth.

Dong Zhuo also sent soldiers and horses to Beibi Mountain to dig the tombs of the emperor, concubines and other tombs, and take their burial goods.

The Qiang and Di people of the Xiliang soldiers took the opportunity to dig up the cemeteries of the officials and the people.

Dong Zhuo loaded thousands of cars loaded with silk and satin, gold, silver and jewelry.

There were tens of thousands of carts loaded with food and money.

Its sky-high fireworks are clearly visible from hundreds of miles away.

Luoyang in the Eastern Han Dynasty is prosperous. A fire burned the city of Luoyang.

……

Before the Tiger Prison Pass, the Allies observed the movement in the Tiger Prison Pass with a nest car and immediately reported Liu Fan.

On top of the nest car, there is a watchtower to climb up to observe the enemy. The watchtower on the car is "like a bird's nest", hence the name.

This is a must-have for a regular siege.

The mobilization of the army of the Tiger Prison Pass was observed by the spies on the nest car.

Liu Fan got the news and knew that the time had come.

Tiger Prison Pass is the barrier of Luoyang. There is only one possibility for Dong Zhuo to give up the Tiger Prison Pass.

Move the capital!

He summoned a meeting of the princes and ordered another siege.

The princes from all walks of life, who didn't want to succeed, rushed to take the lead after receiving the news.

Everyone knows that at this time, the Tiger Prison Pass not only lost its main troops, but also lost its morale.

Xiongguan has become a dangerous city, and the order is to attack it, which can be broken overnight.

In the end, Cao Cao, Sun Jian, and Liu Bei took over this important task.

There were only 5,000 defenders left in the Tiger Prison Pass, and their hearts were sad.

On the first day, Zhang Fei, Sun Jian, and Cao Ren climbed the city wall first, and suffered heavy casualties, but did not capture them.

On the second day, Liu Fan sent generals Xu Huang and Xu Chu to lead the troops together, and by dusk, the tiger prison was broken.

The 300,000 troops under the leadership of Liu Fan all entered the Tiger Prison Pass.

That night, Liu Fan convened all the princes to discuss the march into Luoyang.
