Chapter 154 Dong Zhuo burned Luoyang, and the different intentions of the heroes were first revealed

The above book mentioned that Dong Zhuo asked Li Ru. Li Ru, the www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion, said a shocking plan, which caused Li Dao, Zhang Ji and others to be shocked on the spot. But I heard Li Ru say: "Lead the troops back to Luoyang and move the emperor to Chang'an." ”

"Wencai, Chang'an has been in ruins for many years. How could you think so? Fan Chou, Zhang Ji and others asked.

"You haven't heard the nursery rhyme in the market recently: 'There is a Han in the west, and a Han in the east. When the deer enters Chang'an, there is no difficulty. Li Ru refuted Fan Chou and Zhang Ji, turned to Dong Zhuo and said, "The son-in-law pondered that the 'one Han in the west' in this statement is that the 'one Han in the west' is the one who should be Gaozu Wang in Chang'an, the western capital, and the twelve emperors are passed on; Therefore, the fortune of heaven is combined. The prime minister moved the capital to return to Chang'an, in response to the nursery rhyme, so that he could be safe. ”

Dong Zhuo was overjoyed when he heard this, and said appreciatively: "If you are not a virtuous son-in-law, you really don't understand it for your father!" ”

Fan Chou, Zhang Ji and other generals originally received a lot of favors from Dong Zhuo, and when they saw Dong Zhuo's agreement, even if they had any objections in their hearts, they kept it alone. In addition, they have followed Dong Zhuo for many years and know that Dong Zhuo is a person, so several people immediately changed their faces and flattered Dong Zhuo and said: "The prime minister is clear!" A certain wish to go west with the prime minister! ”

Therefore, Dong Zhuo told Fan Chou, Zhang Ji, Li Dao, Guo Yan and other four people to strictly guard the Bishui Pass and the Tiger Prison Pass, so he took Lu Bu and Li Ru to Luoyang at night.

The next day, Dong Zhuo gathered the civil and military to discuss with each other in the court: "The capital of the Han Dynasty has been set up in Luoyang for a long time, and it is called the eastern capital. More than 200 years old, the number of gas has declined. I look at feng shui and see that the prosperity is actually in Chang'an. Therefore, I want to serve the west. You and others should be promoted. The words were harsh, forcing the officials to accompany him immediately.

Situ Yang Biao and Taiwei Huang Wan are all people close to Dong Zhuo at all times. But this time, they went to the rubble land of Chang'an, and they were all unwilling in their hearts.

Yang Biao said: "Guanzhong has been broken and scattered for many years. Now donate the temple for no reason and abandon the imperial mausoleum, for fear that the people of the world will be alarmed. The world is easy to move, but it is difficult to be safe! I hope the prime minister will think twice. ”

Dong Zhuo didn't expect that the first person to stand up against him would be one of the closest three princes on weekdays. He suddenly lowered his face and shouted, "You dare to obstruct the country's plans? ”

Seeing this, Huang Wan hurriedly came out and persuaded: "Yang Situ's words are true. 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. ”

When Dong Zhuo heard this, he was very disdainful: "The thieves in the Kanto region are rising, and the world is in chaos." Chang'an has the risk of Kuihan; Closer to Longyou, wood, stone, bricks, and tiles, Keri can be done, and the palace is built, without more than a month. Thou shalt wait and rest the nonsense. These words are quite docile, and it seems that they have given Huang Wan a lot of face.

Situ Xunshuang didn't see the level of his eyebrows, and still admonished: "If the prime minister wants to move the capital, the people will be in turmoil. ”

Dong Zhuo's expression had just eased a little, and when he heard this, he was furious and said: "I am for the world, how can I pity the small people!" Seeing that Huang Wan and Yang Biao seemed to have words, they ordered the guards to drive the three out and demote them to commoners.

He then ordered the capital to be moved, sent officials back to the house to reorganize, and limited the coming day; Dong Zhuo also took Lu Bu and Li Ru out of the court, boarded the car and wanted to leave, and found that two people were looking at the car from a distance.

Dong Zhuo drove over, and when he looked at it, it was Shangshu Zhou Yu and Wu Qiongye, the captain of the city gate!

Dong Zhuo asked the two if there was something wrong?

Zhou Yu stepped forward and said: "I heard that the prime minister wants to move the capital to Chang'an, so I came to admonish him. They thought that Dong Zhuo valued the two of them at the beginning, and this advice would be appreciated by Dong Zhuo. Where did you think that Dong Zhuo was brutal, and this time he gave the lives of the two of them.

When Dong Zhuo heard the intention of the two, he was angry, and shouted: "I listened to you two at the beginning, and I used that Yuan Shao; Now that Yuan Shao is rebelling, you are determined to be in the same party as Yuan Shao. Then he ordered the samurai to push out the capital and behead him.

Zhou Yu and the others shouted "wronged". It's a pity that Dong Zhuo is already crazy at this time, where will he forgive them.

Back in the house, Li Ru said again: "There is a shortage of money and food today, and there are many rich families in Luoyang, but they have not entered the government. But Yuan Shao and other subordinates, killing his sect and copying his family, will get a huge amount of money. ”

Dong Zhuo immediately sent 5,000 iron horsemen, arrested thousands of wealthy households in Luoyang, planted a big book on the head of the flag, "anti-ministers and anti-party", and beheaded them outside the city to take their money.

Li Dao and Guo Yan drove millions of people from Luoyang to Chang'an. 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 the soldiers persecuted their wives and daughters, and took food from them; The sound of crying shook 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.

Dong Zhuo was on his way to teach Zhumen to set fires, burn residents' houses, and set fire to the 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 carts of gold, beads, satin, and good things, robbed the Son of Heaven and the concubine, and went to Chang'an.

However, it was said that Zhuo's general Zhao Cen saw that Dong Zhuo had abandoned Luoyang, so he offered Bishui Pass and surrendered to Sun Jian. Sun Jian drove his troops into first. Liu Qian, Liu Bei, Dian Wei and Zhang Fei led troops into the Tiger Prison Pass, and the princes also led their own troops into Luoyang.

The fire in Luoyang City is soaring, black smoke is spread on the ground, and within two or three hundred miles, there are no chickens and dogs; Sun Jian first sent troops to fight the fire, and asked all the princes to lead their troops to garrison soldiers and horses on the wasteland.

Liao Hua sent a letter to report back, and Dong Zhuo led the army west. Liu Qian knew in his heart that the princes had no enterprising heart, let alone any intention of retribution. Turning around, he instructed Liu Bei, Dian Wei and Zhang Fei: "Ziman, Yide, you two lead the fifteenth battalion of spear infantry to pursue Dong Thief; Xuande, after you lead 5,000 archers to the palace, if the enemy has no ambush soldiers, you must not come forward. Xuan Gao, Wen Yuan and the generals followed me to lead the fifteenth battalion of sword and shield soldiers to the center. Dong Thief's escape must have been in response to the nursery rhyme, he and Li Ru were both scheming people, and there must be ambushes on the way. ”

Everyone was about to pull out, only to see Cao Cao coming.

"General!" Cao Cao shouted.

"Meng De came to ask a certain family to send troops to pursue Dong Thief?" Liu Qian asked.

"Exactly!"

"You go to the Yuan Alliance Lord to discuss this matter, and so-and-so will lead the headquarters to pursue! However, I am afraid that it will be difficult for you to go here! Liu Qian said with a playful smile.

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Cao Cao to answer, Liu Qian shouted an order, and the 30,000 army suddenly dispatched.

But when Cao Cao learned that Dong Zhuo was going, he thought that the princes would immediately chase after him and take advantage of the situation to eliminate Dong Zhuo's forces. Unexpectedly, all the princes were stationed in the pass and did their best to rest.

He was suspicious, and met Liu Qian halfway, and was said by Liu Qian, "I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to go here!" "It's even more confusing. When he arrived at Yuan Shao's camp, he walked into Yuan Shao's tent, only to see Yuan Shao and the princes drinking tea and tea, and he couldn't help but feel a cloud of anger in his heart.

"This time, Dong thief went west, and he could take advantage of the situation to pursue him; But you are here to drink tea and tea, and you are not moving, so why? Cao Cao asked.

Yuan Shao said with a disdainful face: "Why does Meng De need to be so arrogant? Thou shalt not see that all the princes and the soldiers are tired and sleepy, and it is useless to march in this way! ”

Cao Cao argued: "Dong thieves burned the palace and robbed the Son of Heaven, and the sea was shocked and did not know where to go." This is the time of the death of the heavens, and the world will be settled in a war. What are you worried about when you are delayed? ”

The princes replied, "The army is tired, and you must not rush forward." "Among these people, most of them are from the Yuan family, and there are even Tao Qian and Kong glaze who mediate from them.

Cao Cao was furious when he saw this, and said: "The erector is not enough and conspiracy!" After speaking, he returned to his army angrily.

Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Li Dian, Le Jin and others all stepped forward to inquire when they saw Cao Cao's return. Cao Cao waved his hand and said: "These people are all looking forward to Yuan Shao's horse, it seems that this crusade against Dong Zhuo has created Yuan Shao's power." However, the expedition to the west has already led the army to catch up, and we will lead the troops to go now to help the expedition to the west, if we save the Son of Heaven, we will also be a great merit! ”

It turned out that Cao Cao still wanted to fight for merit. When Xiahou Dun and the other six people heard this, they immediately gathered their soldiers and horses.

Cao Cao ordered more than 10,000 soldiers under his command, and with the six generals following, Starry Night chased in the direction of Dong Zhuo's escape.

Press Liu Qian and Cao Cao to chase after Dong Zhuo. It is said that all the princes separately stationed troops in Luoyang, and each sent troops into the city to search for treasures. Sun Jian entered the city first, took the advantage, led the army to camp troops in the Jianzhang Palace, and set up a tent on the foundation of the collapsed Jianzhang Palace. ordered his soldiers to clean the rubble of the palace one by one, but all the royal tombs dug by Dong Zhuo were covered.

On the foundation of the temple, he hurriedly built three halls, so that the princes were invited to set up the gods of the emperors in the previous dynasty, and slaughtered the prison and sacrificed to it.

When the sacrifice was over, all the princes dispersed.

Zhang Yang, Yuan Yi, Bao Xin, Kong Glaze, Yuan Shu, Han Fu and others all followed Yuan Shao to Yuan Shao's Chinese army tent to discuss the current matter.

"At the beginning, this time Cao Cao and Liu Shengju went to chase Dong Zhuo with the troops of the expedition to the west, if they really welcomed back the Son of Heaven, then wouldn't we fall short?" Bao Xin said after everyone sat down.

Dong Zhuo had not yet shown his defeat, so he burned Luoyang and went to Chang'an. There are still nearly 200,000 military horses under his command, how can 350,000 military horses be able to resist? A strategist beside Yuan Shao said disdainfully. This person was Zhang Fei and Dian Wei who led troops together with Yan Liang and Wen Chou when they fought against Lu Bu, and his surname was Gonghe, and he was Yuan Shao's first strategist. This time it was his idea not to let the troops enter.

"What should I do if Zhengxi is defeated this time and comes back to anger us?" Yuan Yi asked.

"Whether Zhengxi will lose this time, there is no need to guess! Definitely lost. He is a relative of the emperor, and the Son of Heaven has been robbed, how can he do nothing? If he fails this time, he will definitely return to Shu to raise troops and fight Dong Zhuo again. If you have time to come to me and wait! "This is a good opportunity," he replied. The Son of Heaven has been robbed, and there is no owner in the world, so wouldn't the princes be happy? ”

When the princes heard this, they laughed one after another.

Gongsun Zhan said on the side: "I'll wait here for the time being for the news of Cao Mengde and Zhengxi, and by the way, I will search here for anything valuable, and when the war booty is brought back, it will not be in vain to send troops once." ”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

When the princes arrived, they returned their accounts and instructed their soldiers to search everywhere in order to reap the benefits.
