Two hundred and one: disaster
The Huwei Army Engineering Battalion is a specially selected and trained engineer, and the construction of fortifications can be said to be their specialty, so the pace of progress is unusually fast.
Niu Fu saw it in his eyes when he closed it, and he was afraid in his heart. After many years of fighting, he also knew very well that if the Huwei army was ready to attack from top to bottom, the Tiger Prison Pass would definitely not be able to hold it. A few days ago, he almost stoned Zhu Dawang to death, and the shadow was still wandering in his heart, and now the morale of the three armies was completely gone, and the soldiers had no heart to fight, if the Huwei army came in, the consequences would be unimaginable.
But without Dong Zhuo's military order, no one dared to withdraw, and Niu Fu was in a hurry. Three emergency side reports were issued in a row, describing the offensive of the Huwei Army, and Dong Zhuo was even more frightened when he saw it.
gathered these henchmen under his command to discuss, "Ladies and gentlemen, now that the rebels from all walks of life are approaching the pass, the momentum is huge, and the Tiger Prison Pass is probably in danger. If the Tiger Pass is lost, Luoyang will no longer exist. Do you have a solution? ”
Li Ru replied: "Taishi, the current situation, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to hold on to the rebels outside the Guanwai. If you don't ...... It is better to move the capital to avoid its front. Give Luoyang to the rebels, as a bait, and let the rebels fight for themselves".
Dong Zhuo looked at Li Ru, "Move the capital?" Where to move? ”
"According to the opinions of his subordinates, Chang'an is the most suitable. Chang'an is the old capital of the Han Dynasty, and it is reasonable to move the Son of Heaven back to the old capital. In addition, Chang'an is backed by Xiliang, which is where the foundation of the lord is located, and there are Hangu Pass and Tongguan Pass that can be guarded, and the rebels do not dare to invade it. ”
When Li Ru said this, some people immediately objected, "No, no!" Chang'an was already dilapidated when Wang Mang usurped and rebelled, the palace was abandoned, and the population was scattered. ”
Dong Zhuo thought about it and felt embarrassed, Chang'an was broken, and he also knew that he didn't want to live in such a place, so he asked Li Ru again: "How is this good?" ”
Li Ru smiled treacherously and replied to Dong Zhuo: "Taishi doesn't need to worry, Luoyang City has hundreds of thousands of household registrations, gathering the wealth of the world, and rebuilding Chang'an, what's the difficulty?" ”
In fact, Dong Zhuo originally planned to leave a ruined city for the princes outside the Guanwai, but when he heard what Li Ru said, it was exactly what he wanted, he laughed, and immediately discussed it with Li Ru.
Li Ru's thing is definitely the one with sores under his feet and pus on the top of his head, and he picks on the things that cut off his children and grandchildren. When he met Dong Zhuo, a heinous master, he liked Li Ru's ideas.
After listening to Li Ru's arrangement, Dong Zhuohao, who was happy, jumped up in suspense, and immediately sent someone to arrange it, secretly transferred Niu Fu, Lu Bu, and Hua Xiong back to Luoyang, and left Yang Feng to lead 10,000 soldiers and horses to guard the tiger prison.
Niu Fu and the others returned to Luoyang and exaggerated the situation in the Tiger Prison several times to Dong Zhuoyi, and it felt as if the Tiger Army was about to enter the country.
Dong Zhuo is a person who is extremely afraid of death, and his face turned green when he heard these words. Thinking about the military strength of Gao Yunhu's mighty army when he was fighting against the Black Mountain Army, he instantly felt a little chill in his back.
Dong Zhuo couldn't stay for a moment, so he asked Lu Bu to order troops overnight and escort himself and the puppet little emperor back to Xiliang first. Everything else will be handled by Li Ru and Niu Fu.
Niu Fu is a military general in the end, and he is not Li Ru's opponent. Li Ru was afraid that he would get in the way, so he used the excuse of escorting the ministers to let Niu Fu lead the soldiers and horses to escort the ministers with higher official positions in the court to set off first.
In this way, Luoyang fell into the hands of Li Ru, and if you want to say that it is fierce and vicious, Li Ru will never lose to Dong Zhuo. What Gao Yun was most worried about finally happened.
As the imperial capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty for nearly 200 years, Luoyang is the most prosperous place in the Central Plains. It has gathered countless wealthy businessmen and magnates, and its wealth is the first in the world. This is also one of the reasons why the princes of the world are gathered.
Although the war has burned outside the Tiger Prison Pass, the people of Luoyang are still busy, the streets and alleys are full of people, and the excitement just after the Spring Festival continues. No one could have imagined that a catastrophe was coming.
After Niu Fu escorted the old ministers of Chaoli away, Li Ru's cruel and tyrannical nature was completely exposed, and he sent troops to block Luoyang within 270 miles, blocking all the ways out, and began a tragic burning, killing and looting.
A large number of officers and soldiers, holding butcher knives, drove the people of Luoyang out from all directions, and those who resisted a little were killed on the spot. The wives and daughters of the common people were arbitrarily ** by these officers and soldiers; The elderly, the young, the sick and the disabled with limited mobility were beheaded and disemboweled, and even more brutally killed. Luoyang, which was prosperous in the past, suddenly became a purgatory on earth, with the wails of children and the cries of adults joining together, and the city was full of sorrows; The streets and alleys were full of corpses chopped up with knives and axes, children with toys in their hands, gray-haired old people, and women in tattered clothes, who were casually killed in the streets. Blood, everywhere.
The tragedy lasted for four days and four nights, and more than 400,000 people were driven to the outskirts of the western part of Luoyang City, where a large number of officers and soldiers guarded them. The sudden disaster caused many people to go insane, and from time to time you could see crazy men and women running out of the crowd. Then the officers and soldiers would laugh and laugh and cut the necks of the men and women with knives, chop off their heads, or stick guns into their chests.
Malignancy, like a virus, spreads. "King Wu is a good swordsman, and the people have many wounds; The king of Chu has a thin waist, and he starves to death in the palace." These Xiliang soldiers have been with evil masters like Dong Zhuo for a long time, and they have slowly lost their humanity.
Li Ru asked the soldiers and horses to escort these hundreds of thousands of people and forcibly moved to Chang'an. Along the way, these defenseless people became the targets of these evil pawns. Killings, abuses, and devastation are staged anytime and anywhere. Of the 470,000 people, less than half were driven to Chang'an alive. More than 200,000 lives were slaughtered on this road.
Luoyang became an empty city, except for a part of the official court, only those bloody corpses were left within a radius of 270 miles.
These families of eunuchs who survived, except for the family members of the ministers who left with Dong Zhuo before, most of the rest were people that Dong Zhuo cared about a little, and Li Ru did not dare to kill them. According to Dong Zhuo's meaning, Li Ru combined these family members and eunuchs into one way, sent troops to escort them, and moved to Chang'an.
At this time, there was no one in Luoyang City except Dong Zhuo's troops. Li Ru asked Hua Xiong and one of his henchmen to lead 5,000 soldiers each, and began the sacking of Luoyang. Needless to say, the palace, the house, and the people's homes, even the dead have not escaped this catastrophe. Within a radius of more than two hundred miles, all the graves, old and new, and whose they belonged were all opened. These people not only dig graves and dig graves, but also open coffins and kill corpses, and even the dead are scourged, which is heinous and outrageous.
Luoyang City is the richest place in the world, and the wealth accumulated is unimaginable. Even the money of the living brought the wealth of the dead, gold, silver, jewelry, money, grain, and baggage, large and small vehicles, more than 100,000 vehicles. To say that Li Ru and Hua Xiong are really loyal to Dong Zhuo, they can run away with another person. Because this wealth is enough for them to recruit troops and dominate the side.
Dig Luoyang three feet into the ground and loot it, it should be said that you can stop. But Li Ru did not stop, and sent four thousand evil pawns, lit more than 100 fires inside and outside Luoyang, and lit the four gates, watching the fire all over the city, Li Ru got on the horse with satisfaction, and together with Hua Xiong, pressed the endless convoy and threw it west.
The two-hundred-year-old imperial capital disappeared like this. This fire also officially announced the end of the more than 600-year-old dynasty of the Han Dynasty.
At this time, the most fearful and uneasy person was Yang Feng, the guard of the Tiger Prison. As early as when Niu Fu and Lu Bu left with their troops, Yang Feng knew that Dong Zhuo was going to run away. Naturally, he would not be stupid enough to be a substitute for Dong Zhuo, and when Niu Fu and Lu Bu left, Yang Feng arranged for his henchmen to go to Luoyang to keep an eye on him.
Everything that happened in Luoyang City, Yang Feng was clear and had already made preparations. Li Ru set fire to Luoyang with his front foot, and Yang Feng quietly fled with his henchmen on his back foot.
