014 Covert Operations

Dong Zhuo's army was defeated, and Yuan Shao immediately passed on Sun Jian and ordered him to enter the army. However, Sun Jian was defeated in the previous battle, and he actually led his troops to Luyang.

When the tiger prison was closed, Dong Zhuo was worried when he saw Lu Bu's defeat, so he recruited Li Ru to ask for advice.

Li Ru said: "Wenhou Lu Bu has just been defeated, and our army's morale is low, and the soldiers have no heart to fight. For today's plan, it is better to lead troops back to Luoyang and move the Son of Heaven and his ministers to Chang'an in response to the nursery rhyme. Recently, the nursery rhyme in the market said: There is a Han in the west and a Han in the east. When the deer enters Chang'an, there is no difficulty. Chen Si said that 'the first Han in the west' should be Gaozu Wang in the western capital of Chang'an, and passed on the 12 emperors; 'The first Han in the east' should be Guangwuwang in the eastern capital Luoyang, and now it is also passed on to the 12 emperors. Fortune is back. If the prime minister moves the Son of Heaven back to Chang'an, he will be safe. ”

Dong Zhuo was overjoyed and said: "Without your reminder, I really can't think of it!" At that moment, he and Lu Bu led the army back to Luoyang in the starry night, gathered the civil and military forces in the court, and discussed the relocation of the capital.

Facing up, Dong Zhuo came out of the class and said: "It has been more than 200 years since I built the capital of Luoyang, and my qi has declined. I think that the current prosperity of the world is actually in Chang'an, and I want to welcome the Son of Heaven to Chang'an. Go back and pack up and get ready. ”

None of the ministers expected that the capital would be moved, and when they heard this, they were all stunned, and Situ Yang Biao immediately objected: "How can this be done?" Luoyang has been the capital for more than 200 years, and the officials, businessmen, and people are all adaptable, and once the capital is moved, it is bound to alarm the government and the opposition! It's not good for people's stability! The world is easy to move, but it is difficult to be safe. I hope that the prime minister will think twice, or not move to the better! ”

Dong Zhuo glared at Yang Biao angrily: "Moving the capital to the country's stability plan, do you dare to obstruct it?" ”

Taiwei Huang Wan also came out of the class to object: "It is precisely because of the national plan to move the capital that Yang Situ bluntly advised, in the past, Wang Mang usurped and rebelled, and the red eyebrows caused chaos in Chang'an, but now where is the rubble, the palace is broken, and then there is the displacement of the people, there is not one in ten, it is really not a good place to move the capital, please think twice! ." ”

Dong Zhuo was speechless for a while, stared at Huang Wan with a pair of big eyes, waved his hand and said unhappily: "The Kwantung thieves rebelled and spread turmoil in the world, Chang'an has the danger of Kuihan, which is enough to resist the rebel soldiers, and it is close to Longyou, wood, stone, bricks and tiles, there is no shortage of everything, and it only takes a month to build the palace!" Stop talking nonsense! ”

Unexpectedly, as soon as Dong Zhuo's voice fell, Sikong Xun Shuang came out of class and said bluntly: "If the prime minister insists on moving the capital, I'm afraid that millions of people in Luoyang will be in turmoil." ”

Dong Zhuo drew his sword angrily and said: "I am doing this for the great affairs of the world, how can I count the people because of this?" Xun Shuang, aren't you afraid of death? ”

Wang Yun came out at this time and said: "The anti-thieves in the eastern part of the country are huge, and moving the capital is indeed the best policy, did Gaozu decide to make the capital Chang'an soon after?" It's just that the prime minister doesn't have to worry about Situ and Taiwei, and isn't it up to you to decide the matter of moving the capital in the end? Dong Zhuo was discouraged, but he still dismissed Yang Biao, Huang Wan, and Xun Shuang as ordinary people on the same day.

The captain of the city gate, Shangshu Wu Qiong, and Zhou Yu all scolded Wang Yun for being spineless, and decided to persuade Dong Zhuo after the court meeting.

Unexpectedly, Dong Zhuo was furious when he saw these two people: "It was the two of you who persuaded me to reuse celebrities and scholars to protect Yuan Shao as the Taishou of Bohai; The people you elected were too shou and assassinated, and one by one they didn't know to serve me, so they actually sent troops to rebel! You are the same party of the anti-thief, do you still want to do internal response now? After scolding, the samurai pushed out the capital and beheaded.

The former Taiwei and Situ who were dismissed from their posts also became frightened when they saw Dong Zhuo killing several ministers so without scruples, and the two hurriedly ran to Dong Zhuo's mansion and knelt down to Dong Zhuo to admit their mistakes.

Dong Zhuo laughed, not only forgave the two, but also recommended the two to Emperor Xian to be Guanglu doctors.

Subduing the different voices in the court, Dong Zhuo turned his target to the army again, and there were two troubles that he did not remove, and he was not at ease about moving the capital.

One of these two people is the left general Huangfu Song, and the other is Henan Yin Zhujun, both of whom were Dong Zhuo's bosses and have a good reputation among the bureaucratic family.

At this time, Zhu Jun was reporting the plan of defensive deployment to Dong Zhuo, and as soon as Dong Zhuo mentioned moving the capital, Zhu Jun was immediately furious and left angrily.

Dong Zhuo didn't stop him, and he was secretly happy.

As for Huangfu Song, Dong Zhuo found a reason, demoted him to Yilang, transferred him from the center, and then ordered the capital to be moved, and made every effort to prepare for the westward move.

Li Ru offered another strategy: "Today, there is a shortage of money and food, and there are many rich households in Luoyang, so they can be copied and confiscated into the official." ”

Dong Zhuo immediately sent 5,000 iron horsemen to arrest the rich families in Luoyang, arrested thousands of families in total, framed them for the crime of collaborating with the enemy and plotting rebellion, and beheaded them all outside the city, looting all the goods and goods in their homes, and obtaining thousands of carts of gold, silver, money, and goods!

These, Dong Zhuo ordered Li Dao and Guo Yan to drive more than 1 million people from Luoyang to Chang'an. For a time, the road from Luoyang to Chang'an was crowded with migrating people, cars and horses, and due to the shortage of food, there were countless people who starved to death, collided with the injured and died, and robbed each other to death along the way. The corpse was dissatisfied with the ravines along the road, and at this time, the Xiliang soldiers were sloppy again, the sergeants were obscene and the women were snatched from people's food, and the crying of the people shook the heavens and the earth. And Dong Zhuo didn't care about this, and the brigade then ordered Li Dao to lead three thousand sergeants to urge all the way, everyone held a white blade, and if they were a little slow, they would kill people!

And Dong Zhuo, in order to prevent the Kwantung coalition army from occupying Luoyang, before leaving, ordered the sergeants to set fire to the city, and all the palaces, official residences, shops, and private houses were all burned! Within a radius of 200 miles, it was turned into scorched earth, and there were no chickens and dogs left! Barren!

In addition, Dong Zhuo didn't even let go of the emperor's tomb outside Luoyang City! Ordered Lu Bu to lead a team of men and horses to dig up all these graves! All the gold, silver, jade and other treasures in the tomb were dug up, and the soldiers also took advantage of the situation to dig up the graves of officials and civilians, carrying a total of thousands of carts such as gold, beads, satin, etc.! Ordered his son-in-law Niu Fu to rob the Son of Heaven and the concubine, etc., went to Chang'an, and the self-unified army sat in the western suburbs of Luoyang, and rejected the Kwantung coalition army.

All these are enough to prove the barbarism and ferocity of Dong Zhuo's warlords!

However, it was said that Zhuo General Zhao Cen, seeing that Zhuo had abandoned Luoyang, abandoned the Tiger Prison and returned to the west.

The news reached the camp of the former army, and the army went straight to the Tiger Prison Pass and stationed. At dusk, Wen Yuan ordered Wang Li to guard the big tent and called Zhang Jaw into the tent.

Wen Yuan changed his calm expression in front of everyone in the past, and said with a smile: "There is a big event that I want to entrust with today. ”

"My lord commands!" Seeing the solemnity of what Wen Yuan said, Zhang Jaw immediately didn't dare to be careless, and listened quietly.

"If I need to go out of the customs tonight, I will be able to come back in five days at least or ten days at most, Junyi is my humerus, after I leave, all affairs in the army will be in charge of you!"

"My lord, this is going to ...... Well, the Admiral has lost his word. Zhang Jaw couldn't help asking, it can be seen that Wen Yuan is so serious, and he hurriedly closed his mouth.

Wen Yuan nodded and smiled: "I know that Junyi has always been heavy, so I entrust the heavy responsibility, but my travel is very important, if I can't succeed, it is useless to say it, if I have gains, I will definitely tell Junyi!" ”
