Chapter 37: Dong Zhuo's Faith
After Dong Liang successfully pushed Fu Shanxiang, he then asked Fu Shanxiang to help Yang Miaozhen deal with the internal affairs of the army. And Yang Miaozhen, the internal affairs of the army, is not very proficient in these. Because Yang Miao Allah is suitable for war, and Yang Miaozhen is not very good at logistics and finance in those armies and some daily internal affairs, so now Fu Shanxiang is also just right. Fu Shanxiang picked up the internal affairs of the army, which can make Yang Miaozhen feel at ease. And Fu Shanxiang is good at managing internal affairs, so he is very suitable for managing these military internal affairs.
"General Dong Zhonglang, now the imperial court will start a meeting, and then Lord Taiwei wants you to go too!" Immediately a soldier said.
"That's it!" Dong Liang said.
Dong Liang came to the palace, and then convened a meeting again, and this time it was going to discuss how to deal with the crusade of the princes of the Eighteenth Route.
Dong Zhuo heard that Dong Liang had brought back thousands of soldiers, and then immediately said: "Okay, since my nephew can defeat the two princes of Kwantung, then I will personally go out this time, and I must clean up all these clowns!" ā
"Taiwei, this time we have won and lost against all the princes. General Niu Fu's crusade against the White Wave Thieves did not succeed, but failed. And Dong Liangzhonglang successfully disabled Gongsun Zhan, and completely annihilated Sun Jian's department, which can be regarded as a blow to the Kwantung princes. And the Kwantung princes are actually vulnerable, they are just like chickens and dogs, so I also asked the Taiwei not to go to battle in person, and only need to send a general to easily clean them up. Jung Tae asked.
Zheng Tai said next that the Kwantung princes were not worth mentioning, as if the Kwantung princes could be defeated casually. And Zheng Tai tried his best to dissuade Dong Zhuo from personally leading the troops to the battle, and he seemed to care about Dong Zhuo. However, no one knew that Zheng Tai had ulterior motives in saying this.
"Hmph, this Zheng Tai is actually another traitor!" Dong thought in his conscience.
Dong Liang is relatively familiar with the history of the Three Kingdoms, so he naturally knows that this Zheng Tai is a super traitor, and he is an important celebrity recruited from Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo just entered Luoyang, and he recruited a group of celebrities to come out to serve, and then it seemed that everyone could see that he was the heart of buying celebrities. But this Zheng Tai used Dong Zhuo's conquest to harm Dong Zhuo. First of all, he built yƬ to canonize Yuan Shao as the Taishou of Bohai and used it to entrap Yuan Shao. However, his purpose is to provide a strength base for anti-Dong. And it can be said that now Yuan Shao can raise troops to rebel, and it is part of Zheng Tai's planning. Therefore, this Zheng Tai is in Dong Ying's heart in Han, so it is impossible to reuse it. I have to say that there are really a lot of moles around Dong Zhuo. And the person who can really care about Dong Zhuo after Dong Zhuo's death is Cai Yong.
And the reason why this Zheng Tai deliberately belittled the Kwantung princes as if they were worthless was actually hoping to make Dong Zhuo not personally send a large army to the battle. And Zheng Tai hoped that Dong Zhuo could slowly wait for the Kwantung princes to join forces in Luoyang City, and then attack together. If Dong Zhuo goes out to fight now, then the armies of the Kwantung princes have not been able to meet, and they are not Dong Zhuo's opponents on any way. Therefore, Zheng Tai naturally hoped to wait for the alliance of the Kwantung princes to merge before fighting, so that he could have a decisive battle with the Kwantung princes at one time and defeat them at one time.
As for Dong Liang, when he saw this situation, he immediately said: "Uncle, I think that the Kwantung princes are strong, and we should be able to move the capital to Chang'an as much as possible, so that we can temporarily avoid the edge, and then prepare for a counterattack on Luoyang in the future!" ā
Dong Liang took the initiative to move the capital, but in fact, he also had his own plans. After all, this Luoyang is not suitable for its own development as a base area, and only in Chang'an is it suitable for development. Therefore, he proposed to move the capital to Chang'an, so that he could strive to obtain a base for himself, and then develop step by step. When the time comes, you can take advantage of this time to build your own army, and then master the strength step by step. After Dong Zhuo was plotted by Wang Yun and them, he could take the opportunity to accept Dong Zhuo's "inheritance" in the name of avenging Dong Zhuo.
When the ministers heard this, Yang Biao immediately said: "No, Chang'an is already broken, how can it be compared with Luoyang?" What's more, Chang'an has experienced war and can no longer become the capital of a country, so it is better not to move the capital. ā
Huang Wan also said: "I can't move the capital, moving the capital is destroying the foundation of my Han Dynasty!" ā
"Huh? Don't move the capital? You guys want us to be all in Luoyang, waiting for the Kwantung princes to attack together! Dong thought in his conscience.
Of course, Dong Liang is very aware of the small abacus of these officials, because when Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu established the Eastern Han Dynasty, the scholars helped him a lot, so he also took Luoyang as the capital, representing the close Hedong scholars. Since ancient times, China has also been related to the difference between Long and Hedong, because two groups have been formed in China's physical geography, the Guanlong Group and the Hedong Group. And Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu became the emperor because he used the Hedong Group, so naturally the Hedong Group held real power. The Eastern Han Dynasty and the Western Han Dynasty are completely two concepts, the foundation of the Western Han Dynasty is in the Guanlong generation, and the foundation of the Eastern Han Dynasty is in Hedong. Strictly speaking, the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Western Han Dynasty were completely two dynasties, although they both had a "Han", but in fact their ruling groups were no longer the same.
And the Hedong Group's exclusion of the Guanlong Group is also a reality. And Dong Zhuo was born in Guanlong, so he is naturally the representative of the natural Guanlong Group. And why did those princes of the Eighteenth Route crusade against Dong Zhuo, except for those who took the opportunity to make political and political capital, the vast majority of other people were against Dong Zhuo, the Guanlong group, to seize the central power. In fact, the crusade against Dong Zhuo is not Dong Zhuo's brutality, in fact, the core of the internal is actually the struggle between the two groups. And if Dong Zhuo moves the capital to Chang'an, it means that the center of the country is tilted towards the Guanlong Group, which is naturally not acceptable to those Hedong Group.
They absolutely want to oppose this relocation of the capital, after all, this is a matter of their vital interests. And the reason why Dong Liang wants to move the capital is actually to return to his Guanlong group's sphere of influence, so that he will not be interfered by the Hedong group. Luoyang is an important core of Hedong Group, and if it develops here, it will definitely be hindered a lot. Don't look at Dong Zhuo's strong army now, but the war and development are different, once he calms down and develops farming, it will inevitably be affected by the local forces. Therefore, in order to avoid the influence of this local strength, Dong Liang naturally wanted to move the capital. In history, the reason why Dong Zhuo moved the capital was probably not only to avoid disasters, but also to move the capital to his own territory.
The Tao in this, this is all analyzed by Dong Liang and Fu Shanxiang. Dong Liang told Fu Shanxiang about the original historical information, and Fu Shanxiang quickly analyzed this. And Fu Shanxiang is a talented woman, so she naturally understands the truth very well. Therefore, Fu Shanxiang told Dong Liang that if Dong Liang proposed to move the capital, it would naturally be opposed by those scholars. After all, those scholars wanted to leave Dong Zhuo in Luoyang, and then wait to be besieged, and then they even had to face the risk of those scholars making small moves in Luoyang. But if you go to Chang'an, those scholars are like sourceless water, and they can't turn over at all. So they will inevitably prevent the capital from being moved, and if the capital is moved, it will be very disadvantageous for them.
"Uncle, I think we must move the capital so that we can accumulate strength! If we can't continue our strength, then how can we counterattack? If you stay in Luoyang, I am afraid you will face a very huge danger! Dong Liang said again.
Dong Zhuo thought for a moment, and then said, "No, let's not move the capital first." If we move the capital as soon as people come, doesn't that mean that I, Dong Zhuo, are afraid of their Kwantung princes? When the time comes, where will we put our face? So we can't move the capital, so where will we put our face? Therefore, I must personally have a big battle with the Kwantung princes, defeat them at once, and let them see how powerful we Guanlong people are. ā
"Oops!" Dong scolded in his conscience.
Dong scolded in his conscience, and now history has changed. Originally, when the Kwantung princes did not go outside Luoyang City in history, Dong Zhuo had already ordered the capital to be moved to Chang'an, and then avoided the edge of the Kwantung princes. Originally, in history, Dong Zhuoqian actually had two Central Plains reasons, one was that Dong Zhuo's son-in-law Niu Fu led 30,000 troops to crusade against the white wave thieves, but the result was unsuccessful, and the white wave thieves grew stronger and stronger, making the north of Luoyang a threat. And then the Kwantung princes sent the Kwantung princes from the east, and the white wave thieves were in the north, and there were Yuan Shu and Sun Jian of Nanyang in the south, so that the north, the east and the south had enemies, and it seemed that there were enemies on three sides. And the only thing that is safe is the West. In this way, on the whole, only Chang'an, which moved its capital to the west, is the safest.
And the current history is different from the original, the current history is that Dong Liang successfully disabled Gongsun Zhan's white horse Yicong, and almost completely annihilated Sun Jian's more than 10,000 infantry, which also gave Dong Zhuo an illusion, as if the Kwantung princes were very weak and not terrible. And Dong Zhuo had the idea of underestimating the Kwantung princes, so he wanted to fight with the Kwantung princes once.
And this is a bit of a sabotage of Dong Liang's plan, Dong Liang does not want to lose soldiers in this campaign, and naturally does not want to fight with the Kwantung princes. And as long as the capital is moved to Chang'an, the Kwantung princes will fall apart by themselves, and then they will be disintegrated together, and they will not continue to crusade against Dong Zhuo. But now Dong Zhuo is actually unwilling to move the capital to Chang'an, and wants to fight them in Luoyang, which is similar to the trend in the novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
