Lu Bu fled into Hulao Pass in panic, but the 30,000 Liangzhou cavalry he brought out of the city were not so lucky, because Dong Zhuo was afraid that the coalition forces would rush into Hulao Pass, so after Lu Bu entered the city, he hurriedly ordered the city gate to close.

The coalition of princes wiped out more than 20,000 Xiliang troops who stayed outside Hulao Pass and won a great victory!

Looking at the Xiliang army who was so scared that they dared to open the city gate again, the three Liu Yu brothers and the princes laughed loudly, and the princes' coalition forces were full of morale. If they took this opportunity to attack Hulao Pass, there would be a great possibility of breaking the Pass.

However, Yuan Shao, as the leader of the coalition, did not do so.

"The whole army withdraws its troops!" Yuan Shao ordered.

Cao Cao was right next to Yuan Shao. He was shocked when he heard Yuan Shao's order to withdraw his troops at this time.

"Haha." Liu Yu also smiled, with a hint of joking expression. He had known this would be like this for a long time.

This time, the coalition of princes attacked Dong, except for Cao Cao who really wanted to destroy Dong Zhuo in one go, no other princes had no strength and had only planned to do their own interests. It would be strange if they could sacrifice their strength and destroy Dong Zhuo in one go.

The coalition of princes retreated, and the news that the coalition forces defeated Lu Bu in the Battle of Hulao Pass quickly spread.

...

Speaking of which, the coalition forces broke through the Sishui Pass, fought against Lu Bu at Hulao Pass, annihilated nearly 30,000 Xiliang troops. While winning one after another, Sun Jian had just gathered the remaining soldiers defeated by Hua Xiong. Seeing that less than three thousand troops were left, he heard that the coalition forces won one after another, and Sun Jian beat his chest and cried bitterly.

"Yuan Shu thief misled me!"

Sun Jian was also one of the nineteen princes, but he had no participation except as the vanguard of the coalition forces, he had killed Hua Xiong, broken the Si Shui Pass, fought against Lu Bu in Hulao Pass, etc. Besides, he was defeated by Hua Xiong and suffered most of the troops. His so-called tigers in Jiangdong were almost a laughing stock, and everything was because of Yuan Shu.

After returning to the coalition camp with less than 3,000 remaining soldiers who had been collected, Sun Jian took Cheng Pu and Huang Gai to question Yuan Shu angrily.

"Highway, I have no grudges with Dong Zhuo. Now I am desperate to fight to the death with my life. The upper part of the country is fighting the thief and the lower part of the general's family. However, the general believes in slander and does not send food and grass, which leads to me being defeated by Hua Xiong. How can the general feel at ease?"

Faced with Sun Jian's questioning, Yuan Shu was frightened and knew that he did something wrong. Although the result met his expectations and cheated Sun Jian halfway, he still had to give Sun Jian an explanation, otherwise Sun Jian would definitely not give up with him.

After thinking about it, Yuan Shu suddenly looked at the counselor beside him and pointed it at him angrily and said to Sun Jian: "It is this person who offered his advice and did not distribute food and grass."

The strategist was also a little clever and instantly realized that Yuan Shu was going to use him to pay Sun Jian's guilt. He immediately said in fear: "General, it's not all the intentions of villains."

"You dare to deny it!" Yuan Shu angrily rebuked, saying that it was your intention. Could it be that I would be punished even if I wanted me to be punished? Of course, you have to bear all the blame. The soldier guarding outside the tent said, "Come on, pull this person down and chop it down!"

Such a strategist was so scared that he fell to his knees and shouted for mercy: "General, please spare your life."

Unfortunately, why did Yuan Shu want to pay him a crime, but how could he spare his life?

Several soldiers rushed in, captured the strategist, and pulled him out and chopped him up, and presented his head to Sun Jian.

Sun Jian glanced at the head of the counselor who died with his eyes closed and sneered.

Yuan Shu walked up and bowed and claimed the crime, "I accidentally heard the villain's words, so please forgive me."

In order to get Sun Jian's forgiveness, Yuan Shu had a good attitude and respected Sun Jian and said "Master". In his opinion, this was enough face to give Sun Jian.

Sun Jian smiled, of course he didn't want to forgive Yuan Shu, but he defeated Hua Xiong and lost his troops. He asked Yuan Shu this question, and knew that it was hard to really help Yuan Shu. He said, "After General Yuan killed this person, he would untouch the misunderstanding. In the future, he should work together and not have any other thoughts."

"What Wentai said is very true." Yuan Shu said with a smile.

At this moment, a soldier suddenly came to report to Sun Jian: "General, if you have something to do in the village, please come back quickly."

"So, Sun Jian said goodbye." Sun Jian left Yuan Shu and returned to his army camp.

When he returned to the army camp, Sun Jian realized that the person who came was Li Jue, one of the generals under Dong Zhuo.

"Li Jue?" Sun Jian smiled shamelessly, but asked, "What are you doing here?"

Li Jie smiled and replied, "Come on the order of the Prime Minister."

Sun Jian was puzzled: "What's wrong with that guy Dong Zhuo sending you here?"

Li Jue said: "Among the princes, the only one who the prime minister respects is the general. Now I am a special envoy to marry the general."

"Get married?" Sun Jian was stunned. He never expected that Dong Zhuo sent Li Jue to see him because of this kind of thing. He came to his senses, but Sun Jian snorted coldly.

Li Jue's heart skipped a beat and immediately said, "The Prime Minister has a daughter who wants to be worthy of the general's son..."

"Stop!" Sun Jian interrupted without waiting for Li Jue to finish his words. How could he not know Dong Zhuo's plan? But how could he be fooled? You must know that Dong Zhuo's Western Liang army was defeated in succession, his morale was low, and the coalition of princes was full of morale. Isn't it the same as seeking death when getting married to Dong Zhuo at this time?

"Dong Zhuo is against the will of heaven and unjust and bullies the royal family. I wish I could not defeat the nine tribes and thank the world, so that I could marry the thief." Sun Jian angrily scolded.

"General, this..." Li Jue wanted to persuade him, but Sun Jian didn't give him a chance.

Sun Jian shouted loudly: "Get out, don't get out, let your head fall to the ground. Go back and tell the old thief, let him offer his pass quickly, give him a pass early, and spare your life. If you are delayed, you will be crushed to pieces!"

"Get out!" Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and other generals under Sun Jian also held the hilt of the knife in their hands and angrily shouted at Li Jue, as if they were about to put on their swords in the next moment and cut Li Jue into pieces.

Li Jue was so scared that he ran away with his head in his arms and fled back to Hulao Pass.

Li Jue informed Dong Zhuo of the matter and portrayed Sun Jian's rudeness.

Dong Zhuo scolded angrily: "Hmph, damn Sun Jian, I don't know the current affairs!"

After scolding him angrily, Dong Zhuo became worried again and asked Li Ru: "If you can't marry Sun Jian, what can you do?"

In fact, the purpose of wanting to marry Sun Jian was to win over Sun Jian, attack the coalition of princes, and enhance his own strength. As for why Sun Jian was attracted, not other princes, especially the three Liu Yu brothers who killed Hua Xiong and defeated Lu Bu.

Because Dong Zhuo and Li Ru knew that Sun Jian was plotted by Yuan Shu to lose his troops and generals. They thought that Sun Jian would hold a grudge against the Yuan Shu brothers, and it was the easiest to win over Sun Jian. In addition, Sun Jian was known as the tiger in Jiangdong, and he was a powerful general, which could increase his strength in the Western Liang army.

Li Ru sighed, but he failed to do one plan and another one came up with another.

Li Ru walked up to Dong Zhuo and said to Dong Zhuo: "Lord, Mr. Wen is defeated and has no desire to fight. He may find it difficult to repel the coalition forces of the princes. It is better to lead the troops back to Luoyang and move the capital to Chang'an."

"Move the capital?" Dong Zhuo was stunned.

Li Ru nodded and said, "Yes, move the capital. Chang'an is vast and rich in people. It is the place where emperors of all dynasties built their capitals. Besides, the lord has been there for many years, with a strong foundation, and with the natural danger of Tongguan, you can avoid the heroes and be protected by danger. Haven't the lord heard of such nursery rhymes?"

Speaking of this, Li Ru also kept it a secret.

"Cannual rhyme?" Dong Zhuo was immediately aroused of curiosity.

Li Rudao: "There is a Han in the west and a Han in the east. Only when the deer walks into Chang'an will it be difficult. I think this saying, "There is a Han in the west" is that Emperor Gaozu was prosperous in the western capital Chang'an and spread 12 emperors; "There is a Han in the east" is that Emperor Guangwu was prosperous in the eastern capital Luoyang, and now he is also spread 12 emperors. The fortune of heaven returns. Only when the Prime Minister moves back to Chang'an can he be worry-free."

After hearing this, Dong Zhuo laughed and said, "It's not that you said, I really don't know the reason."

"The nursery rhyme means God's will, good, good, this is God's will!" After laughing, Dong Zhuo's eyes flashed with sharp expressions and decided to say, "Send an order to return to Luoyang at night to discuss the matter of moving the capital."

Nearly 200,000 Xiliang Army and Dong Zhuo returned to Luoyang overnight, and Dong Zhuo summoned all civil and military officials to the court overnight, and announced the relocation of the capital.

All the civil and military officials were shocked and some people jumped out to object.

Dong Zhuo angrily killed several people to establish his authority, and demoted Yang Biao, Huang Wan, Xun Shuang and other important officials to common people, which scared other civil and military officials.

Dong Zhuo moved the capital very quickly, and only gave other civil and military officials a midnight time, and he had to move the capital early the next morning.

While moving the capital to Chang'an, Dong Zhuo also sent troops to plunder all the wealthy families in Luoyang, rob their property, food and grass, and drove hundreds of thousands of people in Luoyang to Chang'an together, burning palaces, government offices, ancestral temples, private houses, etc., leaving only one ruin for the princes.

For a moment, Luoyang was in full swing, and cried everywhere, which was a terrible sight.
