The capital Luoyang, Dong Xiangfu

At first, Dong Zhuo listened to the battle report every day, and his son Lu Bu was defeated by the Zhongshan Army, and his heart was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, and he slept restlessly for several days.

Then, the Kwantung Coalition Army was seriously strooped, and even suppressed the up-and-coming powerful vassal princes, Dong Zhuo learned the reason through the fine work, put aside his inner worries, and continued to indulge in the happiness brought by power.

It's a pity that Dong Zhuo is an old man after all, his eyes were once as sharp as those of an eagle's falcon, but in the consumption of alcohol and beauty, he gradually became old and dizzy, and his agile body began to be bloated and degenerate.

Only Dong Zhuo's power, leading the heroic warriors in the bitter cold land of the border, stepped into the prosperous capital Luoyang and enjoyed the experience freely, brought him high prestige, whether it was the heroes of the Han and Qiang tribes, or the soldiers of the two states of Liang and Liang, they all regarded him as the co-master, and were willing to run under his command, willing to work as dogs and horses.

However, Dong Zhuo is still old, with decayed black old age spots on his face, and a dying and decrepit twilight in his bones, if it weren't for the appearance of the prime minister, the travel is comparable to the honor guard of the Son of Heaven, and the people who threw him on the road thought he was just an ordinary old man.

Dong Zhuo's mentality is no longer the ambition of serving as the assassin of Liangzhou, perhaps it is the countermeasure of the dragon's qi, or the decadence of the military spirit of the Xiliang army, he began to become suspicious and suspicious.

He recalled that when he first entered Luoyang City, the poisonous arrows shot from the oblique stab, if it weren't for the crotch of the god horse Chitu to protect the lord, he would have been a dead corpse a long time ago, and he had no chance to wave the army into Beijing, go to the palace with his sword, control the government, and take the power of life and death.

The impressive dark arrow was soaked in the cold and bitter killing intent, which shows that there are still some far-sighted people in Luoyang City, who can foresee a series of evil consequences brought about by his army entering Beijing, so they made countermeasures.

Dong Zhuo began to be afraid, standing alone at the peak of power, looking down on the earth, he couldn't help but feel lonely, lonely in a high place.

As the saying goes, the wind rises at the end of Qingping!

When Dong Zhuo's heart was caught by some kind of emotion of "there are always Diao people who want to harm me", he felt that the huge Luoyang City had no sense of security at all, otherwise he could enter the palace alone, instead of hundreds of people hugging him, after all, he still subconsciously felt that there would be righteous people who would risk assassination, and he was finally afraid.

Li Ru, the "strategist" who is most familiar with Dong Zhuo's temperament, knows all about the changes in his mentality, but Li Ru has long been disappointed in him, after all, Dong Zhuo is too stubborn and self-serving, can't listen to advice, and doesn't respect the old man in the past enough, and has a very tough attitude, like a naughty boy who doesn't listen to persuasion.

Therefore, Li Ru, who is wise enough to protect himself, chooses the strategy of not confronting and not admonishing. Whatever Dong Xiang said must be implemented, no matter whether the consequences are good or bad, and whenever Dong Xiang's decision-making mistakes lead to a series of evil consequences, no matter whether the impact is big or small, Dong Xiang will be said to be wise.

Li Ru, who mastered the secret spy system in the army and held the position of the prime minister's governor Shi and had a good hand and eyes, wanted to deceive Dong Zhuo with all his heart, but it was really easy. However, he didn't do anything, obviously completely disappointed in Dong Zhuo.

The battle reports that reported good news but not bad news were all handed over to Dong Zhuo's desk through Li Ru's hands. The defenders of Tiger Prison Pass have accumulated small victories into big victories, and the situation is very good, not ordinarily good, but unprecedentedly good.

Unexpectedly, after several months of concealment, the Kwantung Coalition Army collapsed on its own due to the lack of food and grass, and the princes ate their own food, and the so-called Dong Alliance became a complete joke.

Li Ru's carefully prepared lies, originally expected to be exposed one day, how should he deal with it, but he didn't expect that the opponent was so bad that he couldn't support it first, and sneaked away.

This pie that fell from the sky smashed to the ground Li Ru was dizzy, and he felt that his brain was not enough, but after this trouble, he also realized that Luoyang, the capital, was indeed not a place to stay for a long time.

Although there are several Xiongguan passes in the world such as Tiger Prison Pass and Bishui Pass that can resist the enemy, the foreign world is not convinced by Dong Zhuo's heroism. Just Cao Cao, the captain of the Xiaoqi Academy, came forward, and he could take advantage of the situation with his back against the gate valve to set off a huge storm against Dong.

There is not enough buffer zone, the Xiliang army is still staying in the capital Luoyang, sooner or later one day will be caught in the urn and killed, only to retreat to Chang'an, occupy the fertile Guanzhong, with Hangu Pass as the boundary, sitting on the strong capital of Daqin, closed the door for several years, and accumulated enough strength to be able to go out of the customs and swallow the world.

During this period, Luoyang, without Dong Zhuo, will definitely cause competition among the heroes of the Kanto region.

Li Ru, who had insight into the weakness of human nature, knew that driven by greed, the princes of various states would sooner or later attack each other, and when they exhausted each other's vitality and the people's financial resources were exhausted, it was the opportunity for the Xiliang army.

As for whether Dong Zhuo was in power at that time, it was not so important.

The Xiliang military and political group, which has both the heroes of the Han and Qiang ethnic groups, has had its own interests since the day it was born, and Dong Zhuo is just the spokesperson they pushed out, and the head figure who rampaged in the court.

Could it be that without Dong Zhuo, the Xiliang Army would have stopped advancing? Li Ru himself was the first to disbelieve it! He decided to start moving.

The next day, Dong Zhuo learned from the battle report that the Kwantung Coalition Army had disbanded and left on its own, and he slapped the table table excitedly, and did not stop until his palms were red and swollen and painful.

Later, Dong Zhuo asked his confidants and advisers, and Li Ru took the opportunity to sell private goods: "Wen Hou was frustrated by Liu Guan and Zhang Sanying, and his illness has not yet recovered, and the soldiers under his command have no fighting spirit at all. Our Xiliang Army has been guarding the pass for several months, resisting the attack of the Kwantung coalition army, and it is already exhausted, and it is urgent to choose a place to rest and replenish soldiers and weapons. Now that the Tiger Prison Pass is safe and sound, it is better to lead the troops back to Luoyang and move the capital to Chang'an in response to the market nursery rhyme. Recently, I learned that nursery rhymes are sung in the market: a Han in the west, a Han in the east. When the deer enters Chang'an, there is no difficulty. Chen Si said that 'there is a Han in the west', which should be passed on to Gaozu Wang in Chang'an, the western capital, and 12 emperors; 'A Han in the east' is to be the ancestor Guangwuwang in Luoyang, the eastern capital, and now it is also passed on to 12 emperors. The prime minister will be safe only if he moves the capital back to Chang'an. ”

Dong Zhuo was half happy and half sad when he heard this, Li Ru said that the move to the capital had to be sung from nursery rhymes, so he didn't dare to be negligent in the slightest. Although there is still nostalgia for the prosperous Luoyang, the study of the two Han Dynasty is quite important, especially the Guangwu Emperor of this dynasty once raised troops with Fu Rui Weiwei, and swept the world in just a few years before and after, and rebuilt the Han Dynasty.

After all, there was a precedent for Emperor Guangwu, Dong Zhuo didn't dare not believe it, nor did he dare not listen to it, so he pretended to be overjoyed at the moment, and said bluntly: "If I hadn't listened to you, I would have almost delayed the big event!"

Subsequently, Dong Zhuo ordered his son Lu Bu to lead the army back to Luoyang, and the generals of all armies came to the meeting to discuss the regulations for moving the capital internally.

Not to mention Lu Bu, who said that he couldn't afford to be sick, even Xu Rong, who was staying in the Shangqing Palace to recuperate from his injuries, was invited to the Prime Minister's Mansion by the personal guards sent by Li Ru. Of course, in order to guard against this Taoist general who is not a descendant of the Xiliang army, Li Ru personally arranged several highly respected Qiang wizards to protect Dong Xiang's safety.

In fact, Dong Zhuo, who controls the government and is also the core of the Xiliang Army, has ordinary Dao methods that cannot be used in front of him, although the black and red military qi is not as good as the dragon qi that can prohibit ten thousand laws, but it is also a high degree of blood power, and it has the power of its own law.

Dong Xiang's mansion, the left and right civil and military together, there is the world's first Lu Bu, the literary and immortal Li Ru, the generals of the Xiliang Army, all of them are the best people who have reached the top with their own skills, and the sergeants are the elite of the Han Empire, and they are really the first military and political group in the world.

At this meeting of internal unification, Li Ru was the first to stand up and elaborate, talking about the various benefits of moving the capital to Chang'an. With Dong Zhuo's support, most of the generals have no opinion, especially the heroes of the Qiang tribe, they have been away from their hometown for a long time, and they have already grabbed a large amount of gold and silver goods in the capital Luoyang, and they are about to return to the tribe to show off their military exploits, and they suddenly hit it off.

As for the other part of the generals, after months of fierce battles in the Tiger Prison Pass, they were already physically and mentally exhausted, and they didn't want to continue to stay in Luoyang, so they also nodded one after another.

After all, this military and political group started in Liangzhou, and since he followed Dong Zhuo all the way and won enough fame and wealth in the capital, it was time to go home.

Move the capital to Chang'an, the distance from Liangzhou's hometown is closer, and then there is the Hangu Pass, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, you can choose one of the guards at will, and you don't have to be like the Tiger Prison Pass, arranging heavy troops to guard against the Kwantung coalition army to break through.

Everyone nodded in agreement, Dong Zhuo was relieved to see this, he decided to throw the matter to the court and deal with the civil and military officials.

In other words, the matter is non-negotiable, it must be done immediately!
