Chapter 45: The Rabble

Moved the capital. Since ancient times, only one dynasty will move the capital five times, the most famous ones such as "Pangeng moved to Yin", "King Ping moved", so the matter of moving west is not impossible in Dong Zhuo's view, when the court will end, with the edict back to the emperor Fu Song, Gai Xun holy decree, an order to repair the Chang'an palace also came out, there is a big picture of the meaning of the decision.

But a simple command is not simple at all. The national capital, it is not only related to the government of a country, but also related to thousands of local people, imagine how the people of Luoyang, who have always regarded themselves as the people at the feet of the Son of Heaven, will feel when they hear the news of Dong Zhuo's decision.

Even if the nursery rhymes in the market are boiling, they have long been rumored to be scattered, and people who have foreseen them think of what may happen, but when they really appear, the people still can't accept it. It's a pity that everything was in vain.

Of course, not only the people, but also among the hundreds of officials, there are also Zhou Yu, who regarded themselves as Dong Zhuo's confidants, and Wu Qiong, the captain of the city gate, who met the next day to come to the door to speak, hoping to make Dong Zhuo change his decision in private.

It's a pity that they went at a very bad time, and it can be said that they think too highly of themselves. As soon as he saw the two of them, Dong Zhuo immediately remembered Yuan Shao, Han Fu, Liu Dai, Kong Ling, Zhang Shi, Zhang Miao and others who were currently raising troops, all of whom were the officials they had planned for in the first place.

In this way, the fate of the two can be imagined, and Dong Zhuo immediately decided that the collusion between the two and the Kwantung Coalition Army was his internal response. A call, the armor enters. Zhou Yu and Wu Qiong, who wanted to stand out for hundreds of officials, not only had different heads, but also died tragically, and their cars were torn apart.

Huang Wan and Yang Biao were dismissed in front, Zhou Yu and Wu Qiong were in the back, which can be described as killing chickens and setting an example, and those officials who wanted to change Dong Zhuo's heart all retreated, not wanting to be ghosts under the knife anymore.

Such a hundred officials dare not speak, and the matter of moving the capital can no longer be changed.

During the preparation for the relocation of the capital, on February 13, the two Huangfu Song and Gai Xun, who received the summoning decree, arrived in Luoyang smoothly without any refusal as Li Ru expected.

Arriving in Luoyang, Dong Zhuo was not embarrassed by Gai Xun, paid a visit to Lang, and entered the court to discuss government affairs. But Huangfu Songke was unlucky, not to mention his status in the army, Dong Zhuo had to be guarded, even the contradiction between the two when they worked together in Xiliang was also doomed to his tragedy.

Then Dong Zhuo instructed others to frame Huangfu Song and put him in prison, wanting to kill him, but he was glad that Huangfu Song's son Huangfu Jianshou had a good relationship with Dong Zhuo during the Xiliang War, and personally asked to see Dong Zhuo and intercede for his father. This made Huangfu Song proud to live, and then accepted the position of Lang.

Gai Xun and Huangfu Song were the last obstacles in the direction of Chang'an, and when they left, the city defense was taken over by Dong Zhuo's general Li Dao with the soldiers and horses of Fufeng County, and the west of Hangu Pass officially became Dong Zhuo's world.

Of course, Dong Zhuo didn't know, and it was thanks to Li Ru's prediction that in Chang'an, Jingzhao Yin Gaixun had secretly discussed with Huangfu Song and responded to connect with the generals of the Kwantung region to eliminate Dong Zhuo's forces. But Huangfu Song didn't listen and insisted on receiving the order, and Gai Xun had no choice but to be independent because of his weak soldiers, so he could only accompany him.

On February 17, Dong Zhuo, who no longer cared about it, immediately ordered the imperial court to start moving to Chang'an.

Although Luoyang is forced to move the capital, after all, it has been designated as a new capital, as the national capital, it must be prosperous, and to be prosperous, it must be popular.

It's a pity that even if the Son of Heaven has set off, the people who have lived in Luoyang for a long time refuse to go with the Son of Heaven.

The people refused to move to Chang'an, which was understandable, but Dong Zhuo did not agree, and immediately used the army to drive the people of Luoyang to accompany him, and a large number of people who did not want to leave home died under the scimitar. In the end, under the sword and axe, millions of people in Luoyang had no choice but to start the migration road.

Not only the people died, but even the accompanying officials were not much better, the Son of Heaven, the Three Princes and the Nine Princes, the princes and nobles, maybe there were carriages and servants to serve, the way was not difficult, but those small officials who did not enter the stream were involved, even if they were not as hungry as the people, but they were usually pampered and used to it, how could they be so in a hurry, along the way, because they couldn't walk, there were no less than 100 people who were beaten to death by the soldiers of Xiliang.

Walking all the way, mourning everywhere, under the deterrence of the Xiliang soldiers, the people and officials were too busy to take care of themselves, and most of the accompanying things were scattered, not only the court documents, but also the valuable books hidden in Lantai, most of which were lost on the way.

The people left, and Dong Zhuo, who stayed in Luoyang, was not idle, in order to cut off the back roads of hundreds of officials and people, he then ordered to set fire to Luoyang and burn palaces, official mansions, and private houses. took the opportunity to loot the property, and the radius of 200 miles turned into ashes.

Later, it was like digging up the tomb of Emperor Liu Hong to get treasures, and the rebellious Dong Zhuo instructed Lu Bu to dig the tombs of emperors and ministers, and obtained countless treasures in the tombs.

It's not over yet, in February, perhaps in order to show military power to deter the world, Dong Zhuo sent troops to raid the most prosperous place in the world except Luoyang, Yangcheng, Yingchuan County, at this time Yangcheng is holding the annual 'February Society' rally.

The Xiliang Hu soldiers suddenly arrived, and the people were caught off guard and slaughtered. Later, Dong Jun claimed to the outside world that he was exterminating the traitors, and when he returned, he even distributed the looted women to the soldiers, and the whole process showed the state of a captive.

The place of Yingchuan, the place where the wang clan and literature gather, is full of poison, and the world is shocked, but for Dong Zhuo, who has a lot of debts, it doesn't seem to be a big deal. What's more, compared with moving the capital, the battle of Yingchuan was not so conspicuous.

The people who moved west stopped and stopped, and the mighty journey took more than 20 days before arriving in Chang'an. The hundred officials arrived, and Liu Xie then entered the Weiyang Palace. In the past, the Quartet came to congratulate the Weiyang Palace, and after more than 160 years, it finally ushered in a new monarch again, but unfortunately the Han Dynasty came to an end.

The Son of Heaven arrived in Chang'an, and the move of the capital was basically completed, but the hundred officials left, but Dong Zhuo did not accompany him, and at present, he did not give up Luoyang and left, and then stayed in Biguiyuan and mobilized elites to fight against the Kwantung coalition army.

For a time, Dong Zhuo's generals gathered one after another, Lu Bu, Guo Yan, Dong Min, Dong Yue, Duan Xuan, Xu Rong, Hua Xiong, Hu Zhen, Zhang Ji, Fan Chou, Li Meng and other armed horses, ready to go to war at any time.

Dong Zhuo's army was fierce and ready to meet the Kwantung coalition army at any time. But the rebels who stayed in Sour Jujube and Hanoi did not show the earliest aggressiveness.

Even when he first took the oath, Zang Hong's advocacy was impassioned and full of emotion, and the princes from all walks of life also swore to work together, so that the ministers would die and lose their heads. But when it comes to the end, no one wants to be the first bird.

Even the so-called alliance leader Yuan Shao has always been stationed in Hanoi and refused to cross the river, even if Cao Cao suggested more than once that as long as Yuan Shao led the Hanoi troops through the Mengjin Pass, the sour jujube generals would be stationed in Chenggao and occupy Aocang. Then set up camps in Yuyuan Pass and Taigu Pass to control the danger. Yuan Shu went from Nanyang to Dan and Xishui, and entered Wuguan to sneak attack Guanzhong, and the situation could be settled.

But the suggestion is beautiful, at the moment, for Dong Zhuo's elite division, everyone knows that the first to send troops must have suffered heavy losses, and it is likely that the soldiers and horses recruited with great effort will be clean in the first battle, in the troubled times, how can there be no selfishness.

Coming and going, no one is willing to send troops, drinking and going to feasts every day, leisurely, like a safari, even if the consumption of grain and grass is huge, but no one can do it. From this, it is very ridiculous to look at the so-called division of King Qin.

However, there is still a person who is dedicated to Han, Cao Cao, a small general who has no right to speak in the coalition army, seeing that he can't move the armies from all walks of life, he has no choice but to lead the headquarters of the people, preparing to march westward, attack Chenggao, and threaten the Tiger Pass, hoping to arouse the hearts of the princes to send troops.

Fortunately, although Cao Cao did not say that all the princes were moved, Zhang Miao and Bao Xin were his friends, and then gave it to this, Zhang Miao asked Wei Zi to accompany him, and Bao Xin and his brother Bao Tao led troops to help.

It's a pity that confidence is good, but the reality is too cruel, a group of nearly 10,000 horses, before they arrived in Chenggao, they suddenly encountered Xu Rong's army in Xingyang, which was ordered by Dong Zhuo to prepare a sneak attack on sour dates.

In an encounter, Cao Cao was caught off guard, coupled with the fatigue from afar, only one confrontation, Cao Cao's righteous army suffered heavy losses, and in the ensuing melee, the quality of the two armies was even more determined. After all, these rebels are all newly recruited troops, how can they be the opponents of the forged soldiers in the bloody battle of Xiliang.

Then the encounter turned into a one-sided massacre, the two sides fought fiercely for a day, even if Cao Cao was not afraid of life and death, but he could not turn the tide, but he was shot by an arrow and fell off the horse, but fortunately there was a heroic subordinate brother Cao Hong beside him, let go of the war horse, and finally crossed the Bianshui before escaping his life.

Not as lucky as Cao Cao, his friend Wei Zi died in the chaos.

Even Bao Xin was seriously injured, and he was only able to get rid of it under the sacrificial protection of his brother Bao Tao. As for Bao Tao, he died in the battle after the break.

may be able to comfort Cao Cao, but Xu Rongbu was also traumatized and could only be stationed in Xingyang, and would not easily send troops for a while.

It's just that Cao Cao can't accept it, he originally wanted to use a victory to arouse the morale of the allies, and he didn't want to wipe out the whole army in just one battle, and there was still a servant left by his side.

With a fiasco, he can also imagine that realizing the combat power of the Xiliang army, the allied forces with sour dates will not fight easily.

But the coalition army does not fight, it does not mean that Dong Zhuo will be idle, Xingyang completely annihilated Cao Cao's troops in the first battle, Xu Rong did not go to him, but Cao Cao blocked the disaster for the sour jujube coalition army.

The attack on Hanoi County, Yuan Shao and Wang Kuang, was not so lucky.

For example, today's anti-Dong coalition army is divided into three divisions. One is Hedong, the other is sour jujube, and the third is Luyang. Unlike Jingzhou Luyang, which is far away from Luoyang, there are many Chen Liu's jujube coalition forces. Hanoi, which is only a river away from Si Li, is naturally Dong Zhuo's most troublesome enemy at the moment, and he may suddenly enter the army one day.

What's more, as the leader of the proposed alliance, Yuan Shao is naturally a thorn in Dong Zhuo's side, if he wants to show his military strength and suppress Xiaoxiao, it is better to take Hanoi.

Of course, Yuan Shao and Wang Kuang, who were stationed in Hanoi, also had this awareness, especially Wang Kuang, the Taishou of Hanoi, who began to deploy defense as soon as he raised the banner of righteousness. He also sent his most elite "Taishan soldiers" to Heyangjin to garrison to prevent Dong Zhuo from crossing the river.

However, Dong Zhuo, who had been in the army for many years, gave it in vain, and then listened to Li Ru's suggestion to bluff, so that the Hanoi coalition army mistakenly believed that Dong Jun would cross the river from Pingyin County and defend the riverbank.

It was then used for the elite, crossed the river through Koheima, and went around to attack behind it. In the face of a surprise attack, Wang Kuang's garrison was much worse than Cao Cao's, and was almost completely wiped out.

The world was shocked by the heavy blows to the two coalition forces one after another, and the people who were still counting on the righteous army to work hard only saw the situation clearly, and they couldn't help but be a little discouraged.

On the contrary, Dong Zhuo, who has won victories one after another, is arrogant again, and he completely understands what a rabble is, and the world is still his.

Immediately, in order to show his prestige and prevent himself from being attached to the hearts of the people in Xindu, Dong Zhuo instructed him to collude and plot treason, and in mid-March, he arrested Yuan Kui, the Taifu of the Yuan clan, and Yuan Ji, the servant, and exterminated the clan.

The deaths of Yuan Kui and Yuan Ji were affected by Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, and their fate seemed to be doomed from the escape of the two brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu from Luoyang, but it was too cruel to be exterminated.

The death of Eryuan, Chang'an was frightened, originally thought that he could survive by being obedient, but in the face of Dong Zhuo, who was fighting, no one dared to take chances. Subsequently, the generation led by Wang Yun secretly united.
