Chapter 114, planning to move the capital
"What's the explanation?" Dong Zhuo asked casually, and did not turn around, for Li Ru, Dong Zhuo regarded him as a confidant, his own study was important, and others did not have the privilege to enter at will, but Li Ru was not among them.
"The princes of the Eighteen Roads, the foundation is in the east of the country, the west side, only Ma Teng raised troops to respond, but Ma Teng only brought a few thousand people to respond in a hurry, the lord should not forget, we are stationed on the west side of a Han family heavy general, this person is in charge, there are no less than 30,000 elite soldiers under his command, how can the little Ma Teng be an opponent?"
"You mean the Emperor Fu Song?" As soon as he thought of this person, Dong Zhuo felt like a spike in his heart, and his eyes became a little fierce, Huangfu Song is really powerful, this person, Dong Zhuo is convinced, in the past, Huang Fu Song had made outstanding achievements, Ping Yellow Turban, Ping Kingdom Rebellion... For the Han world, Huangfu Song bowed to the best, it is indeed intimidating, and Huangfu Song was born in a famous family, not only in the court prestige, but also won the support of the three armies, in the past and Lu Zhi Zhu Jun and called the three famous generals in the late Han Dynasty, now Lu Zhi retired, Zhu Jun official worship Henan Yin, only Huangfu Song, still holds the military power, leading one side.
To Huangfu Song, Dong Zhuo is jealous, and jealous, Zhongping five years, Liangzhou Kingdom rebellion, Huangfu Song led the troops to quell the chaos, at that time Dong Zhuo was just a deputy general under the account of Huangfu Song, for the rebellious army, Dong Zhuo advocated the use of thunder means, quickly sent troops to clear the rebellion, but Huangfu Song advocated stationing in place to wait for the times to change, the two disagreed, disputed, Huangfu Song's eyes were vicious, resourceful, he expected that Chen Cang would not lose, sure enough, after more than 80 days of siege, Chen Cang was still solid, and at this time the kingdom of the rebellious army was tired and demoralized, Huangfu Song, who had been standing still, suddenly ordered a pursuit, but Dong Zhuo admonished and dissuaded, saying that he was poor and did not chase, Huangfu Song naturally ignored it, and finally Huangfu Song won a complete victory, annihilated the kingdom's chaotic army, and forced the kingdom to death.
The coach is wise, and Dong Zhuo, as a deputy general, is not only disrespectful, but resentful.
The following year, the imperial court was worried that Dong Zhuo would support the army and respect himself, so he ordered Dong Zhuo to hand over the military power and transfer him to Bingzhou to take office, Dong Zhuo refused to hand over the military power, and Huang Fu Song's nephew Huang Fu Li persuaded Huang Fu Song to lead the army to crusade against Dong Zhuo, Huang Fu Song did not listen to his nephew's persuasion, but just wrote to the imperial court, hoping that Dong Zhuo would be disposed of by the imperial court, and Dong Zhuo was even more resentful of Huang Fu Song.
After grasping the power, Dong Zhuo was intimidated by Huangfu Song's prestige at first, and did not dare to tamper with Huang Fu Song, but the resentment in his heart has never diminished.
This time, he felt that the opportunity had come, but he could use the matter of moving the capital to suppress Huangfu Song and get rid of this big trouble.
"Wenyou, what do you think of the relocation of the capital?" Dong Zhuo calmed the anger in his heart, turned to Li Ru and asked.
"Yes or no." Li Ru's answer was ambiguous, which made Dong Zhuo stunned, "What do you mean by this?" ”
"If you don't fight before you are cowardly, you will definitely have an unstable army, not to mention that the move of the capital is a big matter, the hundreds of officials in the DPRK and China will definitely be dissatisfied, and the millions of Li people in the city will also be resentful, plus Chang'an has been abandoned for a long time... The lord can think twice, as for the feasible thing, the princes from all walks of life are besieged on three lines, menacing, nothing more than to seek to seize Luoyang, once the lord moves the capital to the west and retreats, Luoyang will become an empty city overnight, and the attempts of the allies will be self-defeating, and the lord will no longer have any worries, he can let go of his hands and feet and fight bloody battles with the princes of all walks of life, advance can be attacked, retreat can be defended, and there is no harm in all benefits. As he spoke, Li Ru put his finger on the position of Chang'an, and smiled at Dong Zhuo, "Chang'an is the imperial capital of the three dynasties, Zhou was born here, Qin rose here, the Western Han Dynasty was Longxing here, Guanzhong was fertile for thousands of miles, the land was fertile, and the land was fertile. ”
"What Wen You said is very good, and it coincides with me." Dong Zhuo listened, applauded and laughed, moving the capital is not Dong Zhuo's incompetent and mediocre performance, in fact, he has his own plan, if he does not move the capital, once the army is defeated, the whole plate will be lost, when the hundred officials are robbed, the Son of Heaven is taken away, and the foundation is lost, Dong Zhuo will no longer have anything to rely on, and move the capital, Dong Zhuo will no longer have to worry about the future, he can let go of his hands and feet to play a duel with the allies, even if he loses, he can retreat to Guanzhong and plan again.
"My lord, the falcon is back." While the two were talking, there was a gentle knock outside the door, and Dong Zhuo waved his hand, "Let him in." ”
The door was divided left and right, and a man in black walked in in a hurry, even Li Ru had never seen this person, Li Ru hesitated for a moment, and just wanted to turn around and leave, Dong Zhuo hurriedly stopped Li Ru, "Wenyou don't have to dodge, Falcon, things can be done smoothly." ”
"Back to the lord, the young master has taken over the Flying Bear Army, and at this moment, he must have passed the Bishan Mountain and bypassed the Wangwu Mountain and entered the Hedong territory. Here is a letter written by the young lord to the lord. The falcon bowed and saluted, and as he spoke, he took out an oil-sealed cowhide letter from his arms, and Li Ru on the side couldn't help but have a trace of doubt on his face after hearing it, "Flying Bear Army." ”
Dong Zhuo hurriedly explained, "I haven't had time to tell you about this matter, the Flying Bear Army is a heavy armored iron cavalry composed of loyal and brave soldiers selected by me from 100,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry, it has just been formed, as for the power, I don't know yet, when Yi Lang left Luoyang, there were only 200 soldiers around him, just as I was a father to see him off, stay by my side, but for life-saving purposes, give it to him, presumably it can come in handy, Yi Lang is brave and strategic, and he will not be weak in the name of Flying Bear." ”
"Hehe, I see, give it to Yilang, it won't live up to the lord's expectations." Li Ru hurriedly nodded yes.
The Flying Bear Army was born, and now Dong Yi has seen three elite divisions, Gan Ning's Jinfan Army, although it is a remnant soldier, but the combat power makes Dong Yi admire, Gao Shun's trapped camp, the formation is exquisite, and it is even more brave, and now the Flying Bear Army has also been handed over to his own hands, as for the future, it will naturally be with the elites under the command of the princes from all walks of life.
The Liberation Army, the White Ear Soldiers, the Wudang Flying Army, the White Horse Righteous Servants, the Euphorbia Warriors, the First Dead Soldiers, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry...... How many elites in the late Han Dynasty!
"Hehe... You see, a son is a son, and he agrees with me all the time, and the old man wonders, how can my son behave in a way that never coincides with the old man? Annoyed, Dong Zhuo threw the letter to Li Ru.
"Hehe... Yilang does not advocate moving the capital to Chang'an? After reading the letter in a hurry, Li Ru couldn't cry or laugh.
Dong Zhuo said angrily, "The old man knows that moving the capital is a big matter, and when the time comes, the people's grievances will inevitably boil, and millions of Li Shu will be transferred thousands of miles, there must be a lot of inconvenience, Luoyang, the capital of God, and it is not a good policy to give it up rashly, this rebel is jealous when he is ruthless, but he is only soft on the people, it is really hateful, his temper with wild words, he really has never restrained half a point, Wen You, do you really think there is a chance to win this battle?" ”
"My lord, look at the reverse of this letter." Li Ru suddenly spoke in a hurried tone, as if he had seen something incredible, and he was not lightly frightened.
"Huh?" Dong Zhuo was stunned for a moment, hurriedly turned around and walked to Li Ru's side, bowed his head, and stared at the back of the letter.
