Chapter 227: Lu Bu blocks the way

Luoyang.

Outside the Tiger Prison Pass and the Hangu Pass.

The princes of the Eighteenth Route were still attacking these two natural dangers unhurriedly, until the heads were thrown off the city wall by the Liangzhou army, and these princes were finally all angry.

It turned out that almost all of the heads thrown down were the relatives of these princes in Luoyang, and they were all brutally beheaded by Dong Zhuo, even the old and weak children were not spared, how could such a tragic massacre not arouse the anger of many princes?

Especially the alliance leader Yuan Shao and the deputy alliance leader Yuan Shu, looking at the heads of their father Yuan Feng and uncle Yuan Kui, the two of them cried bitterly, hating Dong Zhuo in their hearts.

Now that his father Yuan Feng and uncle Yuan Kui have been killed by Dong Zhuo, I think that those relatives of the Yuan family in Luoyang must have been murdered!

"I, Yuan Shao, hereby swear that I must take off Dong Zhuo's head to worship my father and my uncle!" Yuan Shao directly cut his palm and wrote a blood oath.

"I, Yuan Shu, are the same, I vow to take Dong Zhuo's head!" Yuan Shu also swore with a sad face.

Although Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao did not agree, his uncle Yuan Kui treated the two of them very well, and now that his father and uncle were killed by Dong Zhuo, they naturally wanted to seek revenge from Dong Zhuo.

"We will listen to the orders of the alliance leader!" all the surrounding princes replied with sad faces.

After several generations of hard work and more than 1,000 years of development, the Yuan family has become the first scholar family of the Han Empire, with protégés all over the world and a particularly wide influence.

Even Han Fu, the assassin of Jizhou and Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei, among the princes of the Eighteen Roads this time, were once protégés of the Yuan family, and among the people killed this time, there were many relatives of the princes, so everyone was unusually united at this moment, and they didn't plan to hide it privately, and they were ready to break through the tiger prison in one fell swoop, and take Dong Zhuo's head to avenge the dead relatives.

beheaded the relatives of the same clan of these princes, and cut off the heads to show off, I have to say that Dong Zhuo really did the stupidest thing, and Li Ru was busy moving the capital to Chang'an during this time, and it was too late for him to know!

"Father-in-law, you are confused! Didn't I say that the relatives of those princes would be killed in the end, why did you do it in advance? Moreover, you killed them and threw the heads of these people to those princes to show off, aren't you provoking hatred?" Li Ru said angrily to Dong Zhuo.

He felt extremely bitter and helpless in his heart, feeling that he was unladylike when he met someone! This Dong Zhuo was already confused and arrogant and incurable!

Dong Zhuo's approach has completely disrupted his plan, Li Ru knows that this time the princes of the Eighteenth Route will definitely show their real strength, and will go all out to attack the Tiger Prison Pass and Hangu Pass, and the indulgence of this period of time has made the Liangzhou army a little floating, Li Ru estimates that Luoyang is in danger!

"What's this, I just think that these princes are blocked in the tiger prison day by day, which affects my mood, and killing their relatives is a warning to them!" Dong Zhuo said disapprovingly.

Li Ru's heart became even more bitter, Dong Zhuo is warning the princes, it is simply a hornet's nest, it is strange that those princes are not angry?

Since ancient times, a law has been formed, the two armies do not kill each other, and do not involve family members, but Dong Zhuo has now openly violated this law, Li Ru can even imagine how these princes and the world will treat Dong Zhuo's family after Dong Zhuo's army is defeated! Thinking of this, Li Ru couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart!

"Father-in-law, there is no time now, we need to evacuate Luoyang immediately! Otherwise, it will be too late!" Li Ru said anxiously.

"As for being so nervous, how could those princes break through the Tiger Prison?" Dong Zhuo said disapprovingly.

Li Ru was angry and anxious, he was already completely disappointed in Dong Zhuo, but as Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, Dong Zhuo was not thin on him, and he helped him when he was most down.

And now that he and Dong Zhuo are grasshoppers on the same boat, he can't ignore Dong Zhuo no matter what, he only hopes to retreat to Chang'an smoothly and leave Luoyang, a place of right and wrong.

At this time, a personal soldier hurried over with a piece of information, and when he saw Dong Zhuo, he immediately saluted: "Your Excellency, urgent information on the front line!"

Li Ru had a bad premonition at this time, he hurriedly took the information from his own soldiers and took it apart and looked at it, his face changed slightly.

"Father-in-law, take a look, this is the alliance of princes who are vulnerable in your eyes!" Li Ru handed over the information to Dong Zhuo with a calm face.

"What, how did this alliance of princes become so powerful?" Dong Zhuo muttered in disbelief after reading the information.

According to the intelligence, in just two days, in the face of the frantic attack of the princes' coalition forces, more than 60,000 troops have been lost in Hugao Pass and Hangu Pass, and countless people have been injured.

You must know that the previous months of attack by the alliance of the princes had only caused the defenders of Tiger Prison Pass to lose more than 60,000 troops, but now in just two days, they have lost so many troops, how can Dong Zhuo bear it?

Only then did he remember what his son-in-law Li Ru had said before, and knew that it was indeed his fault, he shouldn't have killed the relatives of those princes so early, and took them out to show off!

"Wen You, what should I do now? It's true that I'm confused, I shouldn't have killed those people so early!" Dong Zhuo suddenly panicked, and looked at his son-in-law Li Ru anxiously and asked.

In the past nearly a year, Dong Zhuo has lost too many things, and now he is very desperate for his life and greedy for power.

"Father-in-law, we need to immediately increase our troops at Tiger Prison Pass and Hangu Pass, we can't let the alliance of princes attack in, and then quickly move the capital to Chang'an, there can be no delay!" Li Ru said solemnly.

"Okay, I'll send Hua Xiong to reinforce immediately! Wen You, you arrange the relocation of the capital as soon as possible!" Dong Zhuo is not a simple person, and immediately began to arrange it after a period of panic.

When Dong Zhuo and Li Ru quickly prepared everything and prepared to quietly evacuate Luoyang with the vanguard army.

As soon as the army reached the west gate, countless Bingzhou iron horsemen rushed over with a "boom", blocking Dong Zhuo's way out of the city.

"Where are you going, Prime Minister?"

I saw Lu Bu riding a red rabbit horse and slowly walking forward with the support of the army.

"Lu Bu, you are so bold, you dare to intercept the Prime Minister!" Li Ru reprimanded Lu Bu loudly.

"Hmph, aren't you planning to evacuate Luoyang quietly?" Lu Bu looked at Dong Zhuo and Li Ru with sharp eyes.

"Lu Bu, let me tell you the truth! I am indeed preparing to evacuate Luoyang, I am ready to relocate all Luoyang to Chang'an, and use Chang'an as the imperial capital, you can go with us!" Dong Zhuo looked at Lu Bu and said seriously.

He was originally going to transport a large amount of money and some treasures to Chang'an first, and then have a showdown with Lu Bu, but when Lu Bu disagreed, he couldn't do it, because he had made all the preparations for the burning of Luoyang, and Lu Bu could only follow him to Chang'an.

"Dong Zhuo, you didn't tell me about such a major decision until now, if I hadn't just stopped you today, wouldn't you have told me all along?" Lu Bu said coldly.

"Fengxian, you misunderstood, I also made the decision to move the capital to Chang'an, today I just planned to see the road conditions, I was about to tell you, I didn't expect you to appear!" Dong Zhuo said nonsense with his eyes open.

"Old horseman, are you blind to me, Lu Bu, do you need to bring so many troops to survey the road conditions, do you need to bring so many supplies?" Lu Bu shouted angrily.

Lu Bu was extremely angry, if it weren't for Xiao Yun quietly telling him that Dong Zhuo might move the capital to Chang'an and might burn Luoyang City, he would have secretly observed Dong Zhuo's recent actions and determined that Dong Zhuo really wanted to move the capital.

Then with Jia Xu's help, he also began to arrange everything, otherwise he would definitely be pitted by Dong Zhuo and Li Ru!
