Chapter 373: Moving the capital to Chang'an
readx;
Tiger Prison Pass, Guan Lou "Zhang Ji, lead 50,000 troops out of the pass to collect the defeated army" waved his hand tiredly, Dong Zhuo, who had been watching the situation in the field, was a little disheartened, if the opponent was the alliance of the Kwantung princes, it would be fine, but now that even the northern Xinjiang has been involved, Dong Zhuo's confidence was suddenly seriously hit.

"No!" Among the generals, a middle-aged man walked out, the big man glanced at Dong Zhuo, didn't say anything, and withdrew directly from the building after receiving the order, and there was a young general who left with the big man, if this big man is Zhang Ji, then the accompanying young general must be Zhang Xiu, who is known as the king of guns in the north.
The strength of the Xiliang Army, no one knows better than Dong Zhuo, if it is still the 200,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry trained by Dong Zhuo himself when he was in Xiliang in the past, maybe Dong Zhuo still has the confidence to fight with the Northern Xinjiang, but after many wars, the original 200,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry has already been lost at this time, and now the so-called Xiliang Army, most of them are soldiers from Hedong, Dong Zhuo has no confidence, and he has no fighting spirit to fight with Northern Xinjiang.
"Father" saw Dong Zhuo's disheartened look, Lu Bu gritted his teeth and arched his hand in a thousand steps and said, Dong Zhuo has no children under his knees, and treats Lu Bu like a parent, compared to Ding Yuan, it can be said that there is a world of difference, although Lu Bu is notorious because he killed Ding Yuan, but Lu Bu does not regret it, at this time, seeing Dong Zhuo, who was originally high-spirited, became like this, Lu Bu's heart was suddenly extremely uncomfortable, who said that the god of war was ruthless?
"Let's all go out, Feng Xian and Wen You stay" Dong Zhuo glanced at Lu Bu, and found that Lu Bu's eyes were full of worry, and his eyes were a little moist, although Dong Zhuo was not a demon king, he also had affection, who was loyal to himself, no one knew better than Dong Zhuo, glanced around at the generals in the field, Dong Zhuo closed his eyes, and said in a majestic voice from his mouth.
Although defeated, Dong Zhuo is still Dong Zhuo, still the overlord who controls the imperial court, and still the soul of the Xiliang army, no one dares to disobey Dong Zhuo's intentions, and no one dares to say any more nonsense, the generals glanced at Lu Bu and Li Ru, who represented Xiliang Wenwu, sighed softly, and then walked out of the building.
After everyone left, Dong Zhuo opened his eyes, a fine light flashed in his eyes, looked at Lu Bu and said, "Fengxian, are you sure to defeat Zhang Fei, the general of Northern Xinjiang?" ”
"Yes!!" Hearing Dong Zhuo's question, Lu Bu did not hesitate at all, and shouted at Dong Zhuo, although on the battlefield today, Zhang Fei showed his majesty and even captured Hua Xiong alive, but Lu Bu did not think so, in Lu Bu's opinion, although it was a waste of time to kill Zhang Fei, it was not impossible to do it, and it could even be said that it was nine out of ten.
"En" Dong Zhuo responded inexplicably, so he didn't say anything more, but turned his head to look at Li Ru and said, "Wenyou, how are things going in Luoyang?" Are there enough carriages and horses? What about the progress of that imperial tomb?
Feeling that Dong Zhuo's situation was a little abnormal, Li Ru and Lu Bu glanced at each other, both confused, with Dong Zhuo's usual surname, although he was a little moody, but he was very refreshing, either fight or retreat, he would not be like now, could it be that Dong Zhuo was really frightened by the Heavenly Army?
"Father, late last night, Guo Yan ordered someone to report that the emperor's tomb has been fully processed, and all the gold and silver have been stored in a mountain range on the way back, and in Luoyang, Guo Yan also ordered people to reveal the intention of his father to move westward, and all the officials in the imperial court have already counted in their hearts, as long as the father goes back to make a decision." Li Ru looked at Dong Zhuo and said with a solemn expression, although it was a bit of a mistake to come to the Tiger Prison Pass this time, but after all, he was the chief military advisor of the Xiliang Army and Dong Zhuo's confidant, and he instantly said all the answers Dong Zhuo wanted.
"It's good to be ready" A bloody smile hung on the corner of Dong Zhuo's mouth, and then he looked at Li Ru with sharp eyes and said: "Order, no matter what, all the people around Luoyang must be moved into the Guannei, and in the future, the Sanfu region will be the foundation for the rise of our Xiliang Army again, and there must be no mistakes." ”
"And the people are the key to success or failure in the future, over the years, although Si Li has suffered a lot from swords, but the number of people is still as many as one million, since Luoyang is going to be given up by the prime minister, these people don't need to stay, what the prime minister can't get, no one can think of it, hum!" Dong Zhuo's eyes were cold and he said, in one sentence, it will determine the survival of the people of Sili, Henan Yin and Hongnong County are not only millions of people, Dong Zhuo's words, the reason why he said millions, is because, in Dong Zhuo's opinion, there are at least one million people who can go to Chang'an.
In fact, before the northern Xinjiang, Dong Zhuo has always not valued the people, in Dong Zhuo's view, the more people die, the better, in this way, there can be a lot less food supply, but the northern Xinjiang has been moving the people to Hebei over the years, this kind of move is worth making all the princes think carefully, from which, the princes can find that the reason why the northern Xinjiang is so powerful, the reason why the soldiers are inexhaustible, is because the northern Xinjiang has a huge population base, if these princes have tens of millions of people under their rule, who can't recruit a million heroes?
After knowing the important surnames of the people, the princes also strictly forbade the people to move to Hebei again, and helped the people to resume production as much as possible and retain the hearts of the people, so that the original tragic situation in the Central Plains has also recovered a lot, at least most of the people can have a bite to eat, and all this is just because of a word from the princes.
"Millions of people have moved west, this way" Li Ru gasped, and looked at Dong Zhuo incredulously, in Li Ru's opinion, the important surnames of the people are not as big as money and food, after all, Li Ru is just a staff member, but thinking that if Dong Zhuo really migrates on such a large scale, the people who died along the way will be piled up.
"Don't worry, the prime minister will not do things absolutely, from now on, slowly move the people to the pass, the prime minister will let Zhang Ji and Fan Chou command 100,000 troops to sit in the Tiger Prison Pass to stop the Kwantung Army from advancing westward, the Tiger Prison Pass is in danger of leaping into the sky, the Kwantung Army is absolutely impossible to break through without more than a month, and during this time, the Prime Minister is going to entertain the gate lord clan of the Si Li, hum, since they want to unite to crusade against the Prime Minister, then the Prime Minister will let them die without a place to bury!!" The corners of Dong Zhuo's mouth hung a cruel smile, the appearance of the Kwantung Coalition Army, it can be said that a lot of credit is due to the Sili Gate Valve, since the Sili Gate Valve is unjust to Dong Zhuo, then Dong Zhuo can't be unkind?
"Father, do you mean to let the cloth escort the people to the Guannai?" Lu Bu asked a little puzzled, if Dong Zhuo really did this, wouldn't it be a bit overkill? With Lu Bu's ability, he can completely guard the Tiger Prison Pass alone, and the effect is dozens of times better than Fan Chou and Zhang Ji.
"No, no, no, no" Dong Zhuo smiled at the corner of his mouth, shook his head and said: "The original appearance is about to return to the dynasty, and Feng Xian has the courage to conquer the world, how can he succumb to the tiger prison?" The first task of my Xiliang Army before was to eradicate the gate lord clan and move the Son of Heaven to Chang'an."
Lu Bu opened his eyes wide and was a little speechless, all along, Dong Zhuo and Li Ru did not reveal a clear meaning, even if they excavated the emperor's tomb, it was a bit vague, Lu Bu didn't like to drill the tip of the horns, so he didn't know what Dong Zhuo and Li Ru were doing, but at this moment, Lu Bu understood, completely understood, it turned out that Dong Zhuo was planning to move the capital, why did he want to move the capital? Naturally, it is to avoid the edge of the Kwantung Coalition Army.
In 190 AD, the first year of the early peace of the Han Dynasty, it took five days to go on February 25, and it took five days to return to Luoyang, Dong Zhuo spent another five days, and not long ago Dong Zhuo led the army to crusade against the princes' ambition is still vivid, and at this time he returned to Luoyang, but he was a little depressed.
Of course, Dong Zhuo is not a person who is used to being weak, he will be defeated if he loses, what is the big deal, in Dong Zhuo's opinion, he still holds the land of Luoyang, Sanfu and Xiliang in his hands, and the territory he has is not much smaller than that of Hebei Sizhou, although he lost this time, as long as there is enough money, food, and population, there is still a chance to make a comeback.
After arriving in Luoyang, Dong Zhuo immediately ordered the Xiliang soldiers under his command to loot the wealth of the gate valve, and revealed for the first time in the court that they wanted to move the capital to Chang'an, as Dong Zhuo expected, the courtiers' reaction was very fierce, as long as it was an imperial party figure, none of them agreed to move west to Chang'an, most of these officials were Kwantung people, and the Kwantung coalition army could be said to be inextricably linked, seeing that the victory was imminent, how could they agree to flee to Chang'an with Dong Zhuo?
It doesn't matter if you don't agree, Dong Zhuo doesn't mind, I really don't mind at all, it's very simple, if you don't agree, you can send it directly to see the king of Hades, of course, the people who were really beheaded by Dong Zhuo were just some small people, among them, Huang Wan and Situ Yang Biao, who were appointed by Dong Zhuo as captains, had a fierce sense of resistance, and were dismissed by Dong Zhuo on the spot, swept out of the court, and ordered that the two of them would not be hired by the court for life.
Although it looks a bit ruthless, it is the lightest punishment, in the current situation, even if you kill these two people, it doesn't matter at all, of course, Dong Zhuo is not easy to start, because these two people are the ribs of the Han Dynasty, if it is easy to move, in case all the officials of the court are united, Dong Zhuo will not have good fruit to eat.
Of course, there is one person who cannot be left unmentioned, that is, Wu Qiong, the captain of the city gate, Wu Qiong first heard that Dong Zhuo wanted to move the capital to Chang'an, he showed a very indignant expression, Dong Zhuo just entered Luoyang, he had already begun to prepare to assassinate Dong Zhuo, as we all know, officials in the court are not allowed to bring swords into the house, although Dong Zhuo has privileges, but Dong Zhuo's subordinates have no privileges, so Wu Qiong secretly hid a dagger and openly assassinated Dong Zhuo in the court.
However, Wu Qiong may have forgotten that the reason why Dong Zhuo made a fortune is also because of his strong force, although he has been a little lax over the years, but it is not something that a small Beijing official Wu Qiong can deal with, so Wu Qiong failed miserably, and he also affected his family and wiped out his family!
Taiwei and Situ were dismissed at the same time, even during the period of Emperor Ling, there had never been such a ridiculous thing, of course, the situation at this time was a little different, after the removal of the two, Dong Zhuo appointed Guangluxun Zhao Qian, who was closer to the Xiliang Army, as the Tai Lieutenant, and Wang Yun, the servant, as Situ.
Zhao Qian's word Yanxin, a native of Chengdu, Shu County, used to be the Taishou of Runan, after being defeated by the Yellow Turban thief, he was escorted into Beijing to ask for the crime, Emperor Ling died, Dong Zhuo brought Zhao Qian out of the prison, and appointed his Wei Guang Luxun, because Zhao Qian respected Lao Tzu's way of doing nothing, and there was the grace to save his life in front, so he never interfered with Dong Zhuo's domineering behavior, Dong Zhuo valued Zhao Qian very much, at this time Huang Wan had just been deposed, and Zhao Qian was promoted to the position of the third duke, and Zhao Qian did not have the slightest opinion, and did not say a word about Dong Zhuo's move to Chang'an, and kept a consistent silence.
However, although Zhao Qian is valued by Dong Zhuo, there is a very serious problem that restricts Zhao Qian's development, that is, Zhao Qian has been suffering from a stubborn illness for many years, and he will be bedridden at every turn, and he belongs to the kind of existence that wants to die and immortal, if it were not for this reason, maybe Dong Zhuo would not have handed over such an important position as Taiwei to Zhao Qian.
As for Wang Yun, most people know that he belongs to a set of characters on the surface and a set behind his back, in front of Dong Zhuo, Wang Yun has always been respectful and respectful, and he does not dare to be disrespectful, and he can even be said to be groveling, and behind his back, he scolds Dong Zhuo, and the beauty trick that has been passed down through the ages is not from Wang Yun's hand?
From the servant to the position of Situ, Wang Yun did not wait for a long time, this can be regarded as a leap to the post, all thanks to Wang Yun's fawning over Dong Zhuo, in fact, Dong Zhuo understands Wang Yun's mind very well, but after all, Wang Yun has no soldiers and horses in hand, and he can't threaten his position, Dong Zhuo will go with him, if Wang Yun has any spearhead in recruiting private soldiers, I believe that Wang Yun will die faster than anyone else.
In fact, about the beauty plan, Wang Yun really has this idea, but because there is no good beauty, it has been delayed, since ancient times heroes love beauties, although Dong Zhuo is brutal, but he is a hero, and the beauty plan can not be used by ordinary means, after all, Dong Zhuo has more women, but if he doesn't play cards according to common sense, then how to go? Wang Yun is still confused
In 190 AD, the first year of the Han Dynasty, February 26, Dong Zhuo wore armor and ordered Lu Bu to enter the Luoyang Palace with 500 elite soldiers.
In fact, even if you have an opinion, what can you do? Don't you see Lu Bu, who is holding Fang Tian's painting halberd, standing in front of the palace gate? Accompanied by five hundred Xiliang elites who killed people without blinking, these officials are not impatient to live, what else do they dare to say? The relocation of the capital is a foregone conclusion!
When he said, Dong Zhuo, who received the emperor's holy decree, happily ordered all the people to forcibly take the people to Chang'an immediately, of course, this time the forced abduction is different from history, because Dong Zhuo understands the important surname of the population, and it is impossible to kill at will, and in order to let the Xiliang soldiers and soldiers take care of their hands and feet, Dong Zhuo also issued a number of strict orders, all those who wantonly kill the people will be killed!
Tyrant Dong Zhuo's order, no one dares to disobey, even the Xiliang army, which is famous for its arrogance, does not dare to slack off, after all, Dong Zhuo's brutality is not only external, but also very terrifying internally, the soldiers understand that if they annoy Dong Zhuo, not only will they die, but their families in Xiliang will die without a place to be buried!
Dong Zhuo in the relocation of the capital, but also let the emperor give an inexplicable holy decree, this holy decree was given to Liu Tai, the content is also very simple, sealed, sealed to Liu Tai, and gave Qingzhou in the hands of Han Fu to Liu Tai, this holy decree is inexplicable, in fact, Dong Zhuo's move is to hope that Liu Tai can let go of the Xiliang army, the scale of the relocation of the capital is huge, not a moment and a half will be completed, and Hanoi County, which is adjacent to Luoyang, has tens of thousands of garrisons in the north of Xinjiang, in case Liu Tai goes south at this time, then Dong Zhuo
With a little bit of a holy decree begging for mercy, although a little groveling, but it can also be seen that Dong Zhuo is helpless now, the Kwantung princes have dragged down 100,000 soldiers and horses in Xiliang, if Hebei goes south again, Dong Zhuo will have no one to send except for sending Lu Bu, but the problem is that as soon as Lu Bu left Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo felt uneasy, because Liu Tai, the famous Three Heroes Battle Lu Bu did not happen, and Lu Bu did not become the myth of a warrior and did not become the focus of the world, maybe this is the best process for Lu Bu.
Dong Zhuo moved the capital Although Dong Zhuo ordered it to be deliberately concealed, the Kwantung Army outside the Tiger Prison Pass knew the news through various channels, but the Tiger Prison Pass was like a tiger in front of the princes, what could the princes do?
The only way is to storm and attack to the death, before the Xiliang army enters Hangu Pass, break the Tiger Prison Pass, which is a difficult task, but the princes did not say anything one by one, if Dong Zhuo really entered Chang'an with Emperor Xian, then this alliance of princes may be over, and no credit can be gained, this is not the result that the princes want to see.
In fact, the princes still have another thought, that is, to rebuild the imperial court, since Dong Zhuo can abolish the young emperor and set up the emperor, why can't the alliance of princes representing most of the forces in the world can? But the problem is, there are no good candidates in front of you.
Some princes proposed to simply set up Liu Tai, the god king of northern Xinjiang, as the emperor, but Liu Tai is too strong, how can it be that the princes can influence it, if Liu Tai is established, then all the forces in front of the princes will be taken back by Liu Tai, this is an impossible thing, even if the good man Tao Qian will not willingly give up Xuzhou, and those who have the right want to let go again, it is not so easy.
In fact, to establish Liu Tai as the emperor, there is a greater factor blocking the princes, that is, the policy implemented by Liu Tai, recovering land and restricting the gate valve! Which of the princes present was not from the gate valve? If the land is repossessed and the private army is disbanded, will not all the privileges of the princes be lost? Unwilling, unwilling!
Of course, when the princes put forward this opinion, Zhao Yun immediately eliminated the idea of the princes on behalf of Liu Tai, and revealed that before the expedition, the god king Liu Tai had already explained that no matter what the son did wrong today, the Son of Heaven was the son of the first emperor, and it was said that the first emperor Liu Hong had great kindness to Liu Tai, and everything about Liu Tai was given by Liu Hong.
Liu Tai refused to inherit the throne, but did not say that he would not allow the princes to elect a new emperor, the princes who understood this meaning, gave up the intention of supporting Liu Tai for the first time, and turned to other qualified vassal kings. Liu Pet has made great contributions to Sheji in the past, and the hundreds of thousands of troops under his command are even more battles. This proposal was immediately approved by the majority of the people.
