Chapter 105: The first proposal to move the capital

Liu Wei successfully crossed the Yellow River, and LΓΌ Bu returned to the Tiger Prison Pass again. The Kwantung Coalition Army, which had already dispersed, learned that Liu Wei was still alive and had been to the area of Sujuju, and had also broken through the news of the Tiger Prison Pass, Qiao Mao, Yuan Shao and others hurriedly returned to the army, and tried their best to promote the princes from all walks of life to return to the area of Suojube.

Knowing that the coalition forces had returned to Sujube for the second time, Liu Wei, who had returned to Woniu Mountain and was discussing the next step with Zhou Cang and others, only twitched the corners of his mouth slightly, and waved his hand noncommittally at the soldiers who came to report the news.

"Your Highness, the coalition forces have returned to the sour jujube again, and I will wait for ......" As soon as the soldiers who reported the news withdrew from the city, Zhou Cang, who was sitting at the bottom of the hall, turned his head to look at Liu Wei and put forward the idea of returning to the sour jujube.

In addition to Zhou Cang, there were also Dian Wei, Zhao Yun, and Pei Yuanshao, who had not yet recovered from his injuries. When Zhou Cang proposed to return to the sour date, everyone turned their eyes to Liu Wei's face.

"No!" Liu Wei shook his head and said to everyone very resolutely: "A few days ago, I and others had been to sour jujubes, and before that, I still had a trace of illusion about the coalition army, but General Zhao did not go, and I did not see the scene of that day. Dian Wei and Zhou Cang crossed the Yellow River with the king, and they also saw that the coalition army was just a group of rabble, even if the king went to find them, he would not be able to achieve great things! ”

"What does Your Highness mean ......?" Liu Wei expressed his intention that he would not return to the Tiger Prison Pass, and Zhao Yun said to him again: "There are only 2,000 soldiers and horses in the mountains, and I am afraid it will be ...... to deal with Dong Thief with 2,000 soldiers and horses."

"Luoyang City is high and deep, and two thousand soldiers and horses can't do anything!" Liu Wei smiled slightly, raised his hand, blocked Zhao Yun's next words, and said to everyone: "I will wait for Keri to go down the mountain, Pei Yuanshao is seriously injured and has not recovered, and he is still guarding Woniu Mountain, Dian Wei Zhou Cang should respond to the Chinese army, Zhao Yun took five hundred soldiers and horses as the vanguard, remember not to collide with the main force of the thief army, we will only fight their supplies!" ”

Liu Wei knew very well that with the strength in his hands at the moment, he was not capable of confronting Dong Zhuo head-on.

Although he has two fierce generals under his command, Dian Wei and Zhao Yun, but under Dong Zhuo's account, he is even more fierce generals, especially Lu Bu, who has the title of the first fierce general of the Three Kingdoms. Once the two sides started a large army battle, Liu Wei's power was wiped out in an instant, which is definitely an indisputable fact.

There is a huge disparity in the strength of the two sides, and it is not at an equal level at all, what Liu Wei can choose is only a way of playing that will not pose too much threat to Dong Zhuojun, but can give them a headache and be exhausted in a small range.

"Your Highness, only supply ......" After listening to Liu Wei's plan, Zhou Cang hesitated for a moment, and then asked him as if he had made a lot of determination: "I'm afraid it won't cause too much trouble to Dong Thief, but it will expose us to Dong Thief and face encirclement and suppression." ”

"What Yuanfu said is not bad!" Liu Wei nodded, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and said to Zhou Cang and the people seated: "It is true that the supply cannot cause too much trouble to Dong Zhuo, but it can increase the number of victories of our army, and it can make our army fully armed, as long as we are attached to the mountain, it is not so easy for Dong Zhuo to encircle and annihilate our army!" Moreover, choosing the Luoyang area to defeat the thief army is also a great improvement to our reputation! ”

Everyone in the audience looked at each other and nodded silently.

"You wait and go back, prepare your own preparations, seven days later, prepare your troops and horses, and go down the mountain to Luoyang!" Seeing that everyone was no longer talking, Liu Wei waved his hand at them and gave the order to send troops in seven days.

At the same time, Luoyang City Xiangguo Mansion.

Dong Zhuo knelt in the main hall of Xiangguo Mansion, bowed his head on his left and right sides, and knelt down in two rows of civil and military officers in the court.

Since the crackdown on Dong Zhuo's rebellion, some officials in the DPRK and China dared to resist him at first, but with the inexplicable assassination or suicide of these officials, fewer and fewer people dared to speak.

Kneeling in the hall are all officials that Dong Zhuo usually regards as confidants.

"Everyone!" Dong Zhuo looked around at the people seated, frowned slightly, and said to them loudly: "I think you have heard about King Hongnong's visit to sour dates. The rebels from all walks of life have dispersed, but after this incident, the rebels gathered again in Suojube, intending to break through the Tiger Prison Pass and take Luoyang directly! What do you think about this? ”

The court ministers who knelt in the hall lowered their heads one by one, and after Dong Zhuo asked, no one proposed a suitable solution.

Now that the government is in the hands of Dong Zhuo, except for those officials who have sworn allegiance to Dong Zhuo on the surface, those who are officials in Luoyang City are in danger of themselves.

The previous time the alliance of princes besieged Tiger Prison Pass, the city had been cleaned, and those who had more or less anything to do with the coalition army were all cut off by Dong Zhuo.

Yuan Shao's eldest brother, Taifu Yuan Kui, was wiped out by Dong Zhuo because of Yuan Shao's army. Now that the princes and the alliance are trapped in the tiger prison, if they don't have the intention of Dong Zhuo in what they say, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not cause the disaster of annihilation.

Seeing that the officials were like gourds with sawed mouths, and they didn't even dare to say a word, Dong Zhuo's brows were twisted even deeper, and he asked them: "You were born as an important minister of the court, and now the court is in danger, but you are silent, how can it be done by loyal ministers and benevolent sons?" ”

"Xiangguo!" As soon as Dong Zhuo's words fell this time, a minister who was nearly fifty years old stood up, walked to the middle of the hall, hugged his fists and gave Dong Zhuo a deep salute and said: "King Hongnong is just a yellow-mouthed child, Xiangguo doesn't need to worry too much, now he just needs to wait for Wen to strictly guard the tiger prison, don't let him go to the sour jujube for the second time and join Yuan Shao and others!" ”

The speaker was a minister in his fifties. The minister had a white beard on his chin, and his two slender eyes, though small, shone with a sparkle of wisdom.

This person Dong Zhuo recognized that it was the servant Wang Yun. Seeing that Wang Yun was the first to go out of class to speak, Dong Zhuo nodded, sighed lightly and said: "The society is about to fall, and everyone is silent, but the prince's servant dares to speak out of class, which can be described as great loyalty and righteousness!" ”

"Xiangguo!" As soon as Dong Zhuo's words fell, another person stood up among the ministers, clasped his fists and said to him: "The little son-in-law is just thinking about it, the thief army is stationed in the sour jujube and confronts the heavenly army. General Xu Rong defeated Sun Jian in Liangdi, and the rebel king Kuang was in the area of Heyangjin, and the whole army was almost wiped out! The official army of the Han Dynasty triumphed all the way, and the thief army was not an opponent! Although Liu Wei has escaped repeatedly, there are no more than 1,000 soldiers and horses under his command so far, so there is nothing to fear. What really threatens Luoyang is the Northland Baibo Army! ”

It was none other than Dong Zhuo's son-in-law Niu Fu who stood up and spoke.

Niu Fu is a rough man, he is brave and unscrupulous on weekdays, and the ministers present all know that he can't say this with his ability, and someone must be pointing behind his back.

But none of the ministers were fools, Niu Fu stood up and spoke, it must be that Dong Zhuo had already calculated, before Dong Zhuo said the plan, he took the liberty of speaking, it was very likely to cause death, so everyone lowered their heads and waited silently for Dong Zhuo to speak.

"What General Niu said is true!" Dong Zhuo nodded, sighed lightly, and said to the ministers sitting with an entangled face: "The prime minister has been thinking about it recently, and he will discuss it with everyone!" ”

Everyone sitting in the hall knew that the main topic was coming, and they all turned their faces to Dong Zhuo, waiting for him to continue talking.

"I think that now that the thieves are in the realm, there is only one pass in front of the Tiger Prison Pass, and it must not be a complete strategy to defend Luoyang!" Looking around at the crowd, Dong Zhuo frowned slightly and said: "Today's plan, the only way to move the capital can we ensure the integrity of the imperial court!" ”

"No!" Since occupying Luoyang, Dong Zhuo has always adopted a high-pressure policy, and those who dared to resist him were executed by him openly or secretly, and he thought that the matter of moving the capital was proposed, and the ministers would not dare to openly oppose it, but he had just shown his intention to move the capital, and a minister stood up, hugged his fists and said to him: "Guanzhong is broken and scattered, and the people's livelihood is withering. It is easy to move the capital, but it is extremely difficult to stabilize the people's hearts! It can be seen that moving the capital is a fundamental matter that causes chaos in the society, and the country must not do it! ”

The man who stood up and spoke was only forty years old, short in stature, thin and thin, especially the skin on his face, which was slightly yellowed, so that when people saw him, they would feel that he was like a seriously ill sick man.

Dong Zhuo didn't expect that someone would dare to oppose his relocation of the capital in person, let alone that the first person to oppose his relocation would be Situ Yang Biao.

He furrowed his brows deeply, glared at Yang Biao viciously, and almost gritted his teeth and said, "Didn't Yang Situ Mo dare to obstruct the country's plan?" ”

Saying this sentence shows that Dong Zhuo has made up his mind to move the capital, and he mentions it here just to get the support of everyone, if anyone dares to oppose it, he will not be able to get along with him.

As soon as Dong Zhuo drank this, the ministers lowered their heads one after another, but Yang Biao stood upright and looked at Dong Zhuo angrily.

The hall was silent, so quiet that even the gasping could be heard clearly, and the atmosphere was so dull that everyone was almost dizzy.

"Xiangguo!" Everyone who had a depressed atmosphere felt a cold chill jump up their spines, and another minister stood up, clasped his fists and said to Dong Zhuo: "What Yang Situ said is true! Since Wang Mang usurped and rebelled, the red eyebrows invaded Chang'an, Chang'an City has been left with only a ruined wall, although it has been repaired for hundreds of years, but the emperor's spirit has disappeared, and it is not the place to establish the capital. If the capital is moved to Chang'an, the population must be moved from Luoyang to ensure the prosperity of Chang'an. The people of Luoyang live here, and if they want to leave their hometown, I am afraid that among the hundreds of people, there will never be one or two people who agree, and the difficulty of moving the capital can be imagined! It is really unwise to abandon Luoyang, which has been operating since the beginning of Emperor Guangwu, and choose the withered and dilapidated Chang'an as the capital! ”

Helping Yang Biao speak was another high-ranking official, Huang Wan, who was ranked as the third duke.

Seeing that Huang Wan also openly opposed the relocation of the capital, Dong Zhuo knelt up, his eyes wide, glaring at him and Yang Biao angrily, and the beard on his mouth trembled slightly because of anger.
