At the end of August 188, Dong Zhuo, who was in Luoyang City at the time, successively received the news that Hao Meng was killed in battle, Dong Min's army was defeated in Wugu, and Chen Cangcheng was besieged.

Dong Zhuo was frightened in his heart, and hurriedly discussed countermeasures with Li Ru, wanting to rescue Chen Cangcheng. However, there are only 30,000 people left in Luoyang City, which is already a drop in the bucket, and it is difficult to save the fire from far away!

Dong Zhuo had to give up the plan to rescue Chen Cangcheng, praying in his heart that Chen Cangcheng's army would be able to turn evil into good fortune and hold on for a little longer. After he defeated the Luyang Righteous Army and the Kwantung Coalition Army, he waved his army to save Chen Cangcheng.

On the eighth day of September 188, Chen Cangcheng was broken, and the news of the unknown fate of Dong Min, Lu Bu, Zhang Xiu and others, as well as the heads of hundreds of Qianghu captives, was transmitted to Luoyang City. When Dong Zhuo heard the news at first glance, he was shocked and angry, and almost lost his breath!

On September 11, the news that the Liangzhou army was stationed in Yixian, Meiyang, Wugong, and Haochou also reached Luoyang City. Dong Zhuo and Li Ru were shocked and frightened, and they were completely panicked.

September 16, 188, Dong Mansion in Luoyang City!

"Qi Dong Xiangguo."

Dong Zhuo's personal guards came to the hall and reported respectfully: "General Lu and General Zhang are asking to see you outside the mansion!" ”

"Quick!"

As soon as the guard's voice fell, Dong Zhuo, who was pushing the cup and changing the lamp with Li Ru, immediately came back to his senses and hurriedly shouted loudly.

After only a short while, Lu Bu, Zhang Xiu, and Gao Shun came to the hall under the guidance of the guards.

"The guilty generals Lu Bu, Zhang Xiu, Gao Shun, see Dong Xiangguo!"

When the three of them saw Dong Zhuo, they knelt down on the ground and replied in unison: "The subordinates defeated Chen Cang, resulting in the annihilation of the whole army, and I hope that Dong Xiangguo will forgive his subordinates for capital crimes!" Subordinates are willing to wear guilt and make meritorious contributions! ”

Dong Zhuo had a monstrous hatred in his heart and anger in his chest, but he still endured it stubbornly. Because, Lu Bu, Zhang Xiu, and Gao Shun are still useful!

"Chen Cang's defeat is actually because Li Mu's dog thief is too treacherous, not a crime. You three of you get up and talk back! ”

Dong Zhuo raised his hand and shouted in a deep voice.

"Thank you Dong Xiangguo for your innocence!"

Lu Bu, Zhang Xiu, and Gao Shun breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, and hurriedly replied.

"Why are there only three of you?"

Dong Zhuo suddenly remembered that his third brother Dong Min had not yet returned, so he immediately looked straight at Lu Bu and the others, and hesitated: "Where is the Marquis now?" ”

Zhang Xiu was shocked, and in just a moment, cold sweat was already on his back, and there was already a thin sweat on his forehead. Gao Shun was also shocked, secretly lowered his head, and was silent.

"I beg your lord's forgiveness!"

That night, the Liangzhou army secretly dug tunnels...... Storm the city. We wanted to protect the Marquis and break through from the south gate of Chencang City. ”

"I never thought about it...... For the sake of the army, the Marquis forced us to retreat first, and he took the brave men with him...... After breaking alone. ”

"If there is no courage of the Marquis, the three subordinates ...... I'm afraid I died in Chen Cangcheng! ”

"With the fierceness and loyalty of the Marquis, at this time...... Presumably has been ...... by Li Mu's dog thief Killed! ”

Lu Bu immediately knelt on the ground and replied in a solemn and sad voice.

"I respectfully ask Dong Xiangguo to forgive his sins!"

Zhang Xiu and Gao Shun hurriedly followed Lu Bu to kneel on the ground, and replied in unison: "My subordinates are willing to fight Li Mu's dog thief again and avenge the Hou Hou!" ”

Hearing Lu Bu's first sentence, Dong Zhuo was already uneasy in his heart. When he heard the back, Dong Zhuo was already full of hatred and anger, and he had completely lost his mind, how could he distinguish the truth from the false?

"Dog thief Li Mu! Our family swears to break your body into pieces! ”

"Third brother...... Shu Ying! Where are you? ”……

As soon as Lu Bu's words fell, Dong Zhuo lifted a few cases, and his eyes like copper bells were full of bloodthirsty scarlet. Dong Zhuo took out the sword at his waist, hissed and shouted, and slashed at the furnishings in the hall.

Li Ru's eyebrows were deeply locked, and he was thinking about Lu Bu's words. Li Ruxin said: Although Dong Min is rude and arrogant, and no one is in his eyes, he is also a complete coward. Between life and death, Dong Min will give up his life to achieve what so-called righteousness? It's incredible!

Li Ru saw that Dong Zhuo was almost venting, and when he was about to step forward to comfort him, he happened to see a strange smile on the corner of Lu Bu's mouth.

Li Ru was stunned in his heart, it seems that there is still something strange about Dong Min. However, there is no hurry, the fox will always show its tail, and things will always fall into place.

"My lord! The matter of the Hou Hou still needs to wait for time! ”

Li Ru glanced at Lu Bu with a smile, and then stepped over to Dong Zhuo, and said with a sincere expression: "The top priority is now...... It's a move to the capital! ”

"Move the capital?"

Dong Zhuo came back to his senses, stared at Li Ru deadly, and shouted in a deep voice: "The king of Luoyang City is bathed...... Why did our family move the capital? Where to move? ”

"Lord!"

Li Ru bowed to Dong Zhuo and said in a deep voice: "If Chang'an City is owned by Li Mu's dog thieves, Luoyang City will be in danger!" ”

"Wen You means...... Moving the capital to Chang'an? ”

Dong Zhuo paused, the anger in his eyes dissipated a lot, and then hesitated.

"Lord Shengming!"

Li Ru nodded, and said loudly: "A few days ago, my subordinates were wandering around Luoyang Street and heard a nursery rhyme 'A Han in the west, a Han in the east, and a deer walking into Chang'an, there is no difficulty!'" ’”

"Oh......"

Dong Zhuo paused again, and then hesitated: "As far as Wenyou can see, this is ...... What's the explanation? ”

"Qin lost its deer, the world chased it, and Han finally got its deer. This deer is really ...... The world is also a society! ”

"Gaozu founded the country and built the capital in Chang'an; Guangwu Zhongxing, fortunately in Luoyang. Luoyang City is in the east of Chang'an City, and the Han in the west and east is naturally self-evident! ”

"The Han dynasty in the west, starting from Gaozu, has a total of 12 emperors. The Han in the east, counting from Guangwu, is now the Son of Heaven who happens to be the twelfth emperor! ”

"The reincarnation of heaven, the number of fates is determined! The sheji of the Han Dynasty, the hegemony of the lord, should flourish in the west, and should start in Chang'an City! This is the interpretation of the last two sentences of the nursery rhyme! ”

"Moreover, the lord's hometown is in Liangzhou, and it is also in the west of the Han Dynasty, so it is up to the lord to order the world and take the helm of the Han Dynasty's Jiangshan Sheji! The lord's hegemony is self-proclaimed in the West! ”

Li Ru saw that the murderous aura on Dong Zhuo's face had faded a lot, and he was willing to listen to his words, and his heart was happy, and then he said loudly.

"Hahaha......"

Dong Zhuo was overjoyed, laughed wildly a few times, and then said suspiciously: "Is this really the case?" ”

"Don't doubt it, my lord!"

"Chang'an City is easier to defend and difficult to attack than Luoyang City, and moving the capital here will benefit and harmless!"

"Moreover, after observing the sky at night for several months, the emperor star is dim and bleak; And the crape myrtle star rises in the west, and the tigers and ministers arch each other, coming from the east, wanting to stand on Chang'an! ”

"And then there'...... Half a moon ago, the true dragon appeared in the west, and the sword of the Son of Heaven rushed to the sky! ”

Li Ru gave a salute and said with a straight face.

"Good! As far as Wenyou said! ”

Dong Zhuo was overjoyed and laughed wildly.

Lu Bu remembered what happened half a month ago, and he was shocked!
