Chapter 71 Dong Zhuo moved the capital to Chang'an

After hearing Liu Bin's words, Guo Jia couldn't help but smile bitterly. His lord was really a person who could only take advantage of the situation but not suffer losses. However, it was rare to see him lose his composure like this. If he had always maintained a calm attitude, then Guo Jia would have to doubt whether Liu Bin was a human being and whether he was really a god. Now when he saw that Liu Bin was still incompetent, he knew that Liu Bin was still alone. This was much more relieved. So he smiled and turned around to issue an order. He is now the military advisor of the army this time and the main person in charge of intelligence. What Liu Bin told was very important, so he naturally had to deal with it himself to avoid the information leak and affect the overall situation. Moreover, he was also the commander of the Military Intelligence Bureau, and only he could coordinate the overall situation. Others did not have this authority.

After Guo Jia went out, Liu Bin sat there alone and thought about it carefully. He felt that although the situation was a bit beyond his expectations, everything was still under his control. This battle in Youzhou may suffer considerable losses. The hard construction of Youzhou in recent years may be destroyed a lot. However, if the final result of the matter is carried out according to his own wishes, the harvest should be much greater than the losses. The counties in the north of Youzhou controlled by Gongsun Zan, the counties in Liaodong controlled by Gongsun Du, the places like Goguryeo and Xianbei still gained a lot of advantages. The most important thing is that it can solve all the problems. From then on, he can only focus on the battle situation in the Central Plains. The grasslands in the north and the northeastern regions will become his back garden. Thinking of this, Liu Bin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, sitting there quietly, waiting for the information in Hulao Pass.

Li Su pretended to be embarrassed and returned to Hulao Pass, found Dong Zhuo, said Liu Bin's words to him, and secretly told Lu Bu that the task he assigned to him was successfully completed. Lu Bu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. As long as His Highness King Jin did not feel resentful and disgusted with him, even if he couldn't stay in the Xiliang Army in the future, he wouldn't have to worry about not having a place to go. And it felt that the Youzhou Army seemed to be a good place to go, at least in a short period of time, the power of Youzhou would not be lonely.

When Dong Zhuo heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked and angry. Naturally, Liu Bin refused to ease his relationship with him, which made him a little worried and scared. He didn't know how to deal with it in the future. He was naturally angry by Liu Bin's arrogant attitude. But no matter how angry he was, he still had no choice but to deal with Liu Bin. Fortunately, he still remembered that Li Ru had another solution, so he asked Li Ru: "Son-in-law, didn't you say there is another way? Didn't you say it after the failure of the plan? Now the time has come, so let's talk about it."

Li Ru thought about it, organized the language, and said, "Wen Hou was defeated, and his army had no intention of fighting. It would be better to lead troops back to Luoyang and move the emperor to Chang'an to respond to the nursery rhyme. Recently, the nursery rhyme in the street market said: 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, "The Han in the west" is, and then the Emperor Gaozu was prosperous in the western capital Chang'an and spread 12 emperors; "The Han in the east" is, and then the Guangwu was prosperous in the eastern capital Luoyang, and now there are also 12 emperors. The fortune of heaven returns. The Prime Minister moved back to Chang'an, and there will be no trouble. Moreover, those princes were not one mind.

Yes, if the Prime Minister withdraws to Chang'an, their alliance will definitely have conflicts due to trivial matters. In addition, the princes of Guandong have left their garrison for a long time and are inconvenient to transport food and grass, and will eventually collapse. After the Prime Minister arrives in Chang'an, he can continue to reward these princes in the name of the court and let them fight each other. We will accumulate strength in Chang'an. When our power increases greatly, these princes may fight to the death and lose both sides. In that case, we can reap the benefits of the fisherman."

When Dong Zhuo heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed and said, "What the virtuous son-in-law said is so right. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't remember it. OK. Let's do it according to your plan."

Then he left some troops to hang high-level battle signs, and he took Lu Bu and others back to Luoyang overnight, summoning civil and military ministers overnight to discuss the move of the capital. Dong Zhuo said: "The eastern capital of the Han Dynasty, Luoyang, has been declining for more than 200 years. I think the prosperous energy is really in Chang'an, and I want to be lucky in the west. You all should promote your clothes. Let's set off overnight."

After hearing this, Situ Yang Biao stood up and said, "Guanzhong is ruined and scattered. Now I donate the ancestral temple for no reason and abandon the imperial tomb, for fear that the people will be alarmed. The world is very easy to move, but the peace is very difficult. I hope the Prime Minister will investigate."

Yang Biao and the others were not fools. Naturally, they knew that Dong Zhuo was moving the capital was not the reason he said, but because Dong Zhuo's Xiliang army was defeated in both Sishui Pass and Hulao Pass. His Highness's army had already arrived in Luoyang. Dong Zhuo wanted to avoid his sharpness. These people had been suffering from Dong Zhuo's oppression these days, so they naturally did not want Dong Zhuo to be happy. Besides, Chang'an has been devastated for a long time and is not suitable for being a capital. Naturally, they did not want to follow Dong Zhuo to Chang'an District and be wronged. They hoped that King Jin would rescue them from Dong Zhuo. So he naturally wanted to dispel Dong Zhuo's idea as soon as possible, and it was a high-sounding reason.

When Dong Zhuo heard this, he couldn't help but be furious. He naturally knew what these people were thinking. The destruction of Chang'an was just a superficial reason. In fact, they had not seen their great defeat. The King of Jin and the soldiers of the princes had arrived. They began to think about it again. They wanted to get rid of their control and did not want to follow him to Chang'an to endure hardships. So Dong Zhuo was furious and said, "You actually did major national affairs?" After hearing this, the Secretary of the State Huang Wan stood up and said, "Yang Situ's words are the words. In the past, when Wang Mang usurped the rebellion and changed the red eyebrows, he burned Chang'an and became a land of rubble. Moreover, the people moved, and there was no one or two. Now the palace was abandoned and the wasteland was not suitable. Please think about it."

Dong Zhuo snorted coldly, naturally knowing that these are excuses for them not to go to Chang'an. Besides, Chang'an was originally the capital of the Han Dynasty, so how could so much nonsense come from? Since you don't mention the affairs of the princes of Guandong, then let me explain. So he said: "The thieves in Guandong will rise, and the world will be in chaos. Chang'an has the danger of huhan; it is closer to Longyou, and the wood, stone, bricks and tiles can be handled every day, and the palace will be built without more than a month. Don't talk nonsense again."

Situ Xunshuang advised: "If the Prime Minister wants to move the capital, the people will be in turmoil."

Dong Zhuo was even more furious when he heard this. What was the people in his eyes? He didn't even give in to a horse or a dog. And Dong Zhuo also knew that most of these ministers were from aristocratic families. When they were in charge of their own affairs, they only considered the interests of their own families and when did they consider them. Now they actually used these people as excuses, which was really outrageous. So he said, "I am thinking about the great affairs of the country and the world. How could I delay the great affairs of the country because of a pity that those who promoted the common people."

Yang Biao, Huang Wan and Xun Shuang will be the common people today. Let them get out.

Then he returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion and prepared to order people to start robbing money in Luoyang to lay the foundation for future development in Chang'an. As soon as Dong Zhuo got on the car, he saw two people saluting towards his car. Dong Zhuo looked carefully and found that it was Zhou Wei, the Minister of the Shang Gate, and Wu Qiong, the captain of the city gate. So Dong Zhuo rushed back and asked someone to arrange the matter, so he asked impatiently: "What's the matter with you two?" The two said together: "I heard that the Prime Minister wants to move the capital to Chang'an, so I came to advise him."

When Dong Zhuo heard this, he couldn't help but be furious and pointed at the two of them and said, "I first heard you two, so I will use Yuan Shao; now Shao has rebelled, so it's your party."

The warrior Chi led the capital to behead him. Then he returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion and ordered the capital to be moved, and he could only go there in the next day.

After hearing this, Li Ru said, "Now there is a shortage of money and food. There are many wealthy families in Luoyang, so they can be detained as officials. However, if Yuan Shao and others kill their clans and confiscate their wealth, they will definitely get a huge amount of money."

Dong Zhuo was overjoyed when he heard this. He sent 5,000 iron cavalry to capture the wealthy families in Luoyang, with thousands of families in total. He put a big book on the head of a flag and wrote a big book to "rebel against ministers and rebels" and killed them outside the city to get their gold and gold. The Xiliang Army had done a lot of these things before, and they were already skilled in the workplace, so they naturally became easy and skillful. Dong Zhuo also ordered Li Jue, and Guo Si to drive all the people from Luoyang to Chang'an to make up for the shortcomings of Chang'an's population. Li Jue and Guo Si ordered each people to have a team, a team of troops, and to drag each other; those who died in the ravines,

There are countless. They also let soldiers lew their wives and daughters, and seize people's food; the crying sounds shake the world. If there are those who are late, three thousand troops behind them will urge them to supervise them, holding white blades in their hands, and killing people on the road. The Xiliang army has always regarded the common people as human beings, and treated them as livestock, and drove them at will. In ancient times, especially in troubled times, human life was even worse than a dog's life. Not only Dong Zhuo, the already cruel army, but also the so-called rebels. This is why the saying "It is better to be a peaceful dog than a person in troubled times."

Before leaving, Dong Zhuo taught the doors to set fire, burn the houses of residents, and set fire to the ancestral temples and palaces. The north and south palaces were connected, and the flames were connected; the Changle palace court was scorched earth. Lu Bu was also sent to excavate the tombs of the late emperor and the concubines and take their gold treasures. The soldiers took advantage of the opportunity to dig out all the tombs of officials and the people. Dong Zhuo loaded thousands of chariots of gold beads and satin, and robbed the emperor and concubines, and even looked to Chang'an. Luoyang, the largest metropolis in the world in the past, had a population of millions, and became a scorched ruin. Dong Zhuo's idea was very simple. Since this prosperous and beautiful Luoyang could not be obtained, he could not leave it to the princes. He would rather burn this fire than to the princes. What he could not get, others should not think of it. This is Dong Zhuo's idea. It is also Dong Zhuo's way of dealing with people and things. From this point of view, he had some similarities with Liu Bin.
