Chapter 494: Moving the Capital Again
Prime Minister's Office.
Li Ru's steps were in a hurry, and above the figure that flashed, his face looked anxious. Li Ru quickly walked to the study of the Prime Minister's Mansion, stood in front of the door, and said.
"Father-in-law."
The situation was urgent, but Li Ru didn't dare to push the door away at the moment. As Dong Zhuo has been in charge of the government for a long time, his power is profound. Especially since Cao Cao issued the edict of the crusade, Dong Zhuo's temper has become more and more irritable.
Although Li Ru is an important minister and a confidant, he still doesn't dare to touch his brows at this moment. Dong Zhuo has changed during this period of time, and he has completely turned into a man-eating jackal.
As soon as he thought of this, Li Ru had a strange thought in his heart. As the saying goes, people don't kill the heavens and the earth for themselves, let alone people like Li Ru who do everything they can.
……
"Come in."
After a long time, Dong Zhuo's voice came, interrupting the thoughts in Li Ru's heart. When he came back to his senses, he pushed the door in.
"Squeak."
Closing the study door with his backhand, Li Ru's eyes flashed with a touch of solemnity, his lips opened and closed, and said, "Father-in-law, Yuan Shao led the army to break through Ping County."
……
"Xu Rong bastard, a small Pingxian can't hold it, what use do you want him to do!"
Hearing this, Dong Zhuo became angry. Pingxian is only ten miles away from Luoyang, and breaking through Pingxian means that the soldiers are coming to the city, and it also means that the good days of their power in Luoyang City are coming to an end.
As soon as he thought of this, Dong Zhuo couldn't wait to immediately send someone to kill Xu Rong, a waste.
……
Hearing Dong Zhuo's roar, Li Ru secretly rolled his eyes. Xu Rong is still known to Li Ru, compared to Li Su and other people who have slipped around and patted horses, under Dong Zhuo, Xu Rong is a rare good general.
Just relying on a small county town in Pingxian County and 20,000 soldiers, how could he stop Yuan Shao's 100,000 army. At this moment, Li Ru was even sure that even if the champion Hou was in person, he would not be able to stop it.
The absolute difference in numbers, such a huge gap is definitely not something that can be replaced by the walls of a county town.
"Father-in-law is angry, the matter has come to this point, it is no longer enough to blame Xu Rong, for the sake of today's plan, I also ask my father-in-law to make a quick decision and decide to stay in our army."
Although Dong Zhuo lost his mind and was in a state of rage, Li Ru did not at this moment. At this moment, Li Ru's mind is clear, and he knows the current crisis better than anyone else.
This huge crisis can survive if it is avoided. Once they can't escape, this time not only Dong Zhuo and the Dong family will die, but even themselves and others will not escape their responsibility.
"Whew."
Hearing Li Ru's voice, Dong Zhuo suppressed the anger in his heart in a few deep breaths, his eyes were as wide as a cow, and he said towards Li Ru.
"This prime minister is in a state of confusion at the moment, Wen You, in the face of the current situation, what do you think our army should do?"
The eyes are shining, shining like electricity.
Li Ru raised his head to meet Dong Zhuo's inquiring gaze, paused word by word, and said: "According to Confucianism, for the sake of today, our army should evacuate Luoyang and move the capital to Chang'an."
"Boom."
Hearing this, Dong Zhuo's heart was shocked. The idea of moving the capital had been discussed since the beginning of the war, but Dong Zhuo never took it seriously, and he never even imagined that there would be such a day.
Because once the relocation of the capital is implemented, it will inevitably lead to great turmoil in the world. Even the relocation of the capital had no less impact on the Han dynasty than the abolition of the emperor.
Although Dong Zhuo is absurd and shameless, he is also a generation of heroes, and he knows the current situation and the impact of moving the capital.
"Move the capital to Chang'an?"
muttering in his heart, Dong Zhuo hesitated. Because he knew in his heart that the Han Dynasty at this moment was already stormy and very fragile.
Once the news of the relocation of the capital spreads to the world, it will inevitably cause turmoil in the world. Because once the capital is moved, in the eyes of the people of the world, it is defeated by itself.
After Cao Mengde's earth-shattering blow, his prestige has seriously declined, and if he moves the capital, he will definitely make the people of the world dissatisfied and give the Kwantung princes a truth.
"Hmm."
Looking at the hesitation in Dong Zhuo's eyes, a touch of determination flashed in Li Ru's eyes. At this time, he knew in his heart that he should continue to suffer from it.
"Father-in-law, at this time, Yuan Shao has already led the army to break through Pingxian, and he can wave his army south and attack Luoyang City overnight. Moreover, when the other two enemy troops heard the news, their morale would be greatly boosted. ”
"Although there is a champion Hou Zhi's army competing with Cao Mengde under the Tiger Prison, once the sergeant of Luoyang City is exhausted, it will only resist Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu's brothers."
Li Ru's eyes were murderous, he looked at Dong Zhuo and hooked the corners of his mouth, and said: "So far, just don't do anything, copy the homes of hundreds of officials, dig up the emperor's tomb, and gather treasures as a military sound."
At the same time, a large army was sent to resist the Yuan brothers with the thick walls of Luoyang City. It only takes three days for our army to complete the final layout and carry the people of Luoyang west to Chang'an. ”
"Sss
Hearing this, Dong Zhuo's expression couldn't help but change. He looked at Li Ru, who was close at hand, and a touch of horror passed through his heart, these scholars were really too sharp and ruthless.
If you don't agree with each other, you will have to dig up your grave, and once this matter is done, this is a never-ending situation. The thoughts in his heart passed like water, and a touch of intention flashed in Dong Zhuo's eyes.
Chang'an is broken, and the people of Luoyang should be filled. Luoyang's grain and grass, the family's assets were all moved to Chang'an, even if the two brothers Yuan Shao broke through Luoyang, it would be useless.
As soon as he thought of this, Dong Zhuo's heart suddenly brightened. His eyes sharpened, and he pointed towards Li Ru and said, "Send 50,000 troops to defend the city, and at the same time, the whole of Luoyang will be under martial law."
"You are in charge of this matter, and immediately complete the raid on the three princes and nine ministers in the city, and at the same time send henchmen to dig up the imperial tomb."
"No."
……
Since Dong Zhuo's order, a commotion broke out in Luoyang City. You must know that this time Li Ru is not going to move the ordinary people.
As the three princes and nine kings of the Han Dynasty, each of them is an existence with strong family resources and deep heritage. Dong Zhuo moved at the moment, which caused an infinite backlash.
……
"My lord."
In the Tiger Prison Pass, Ying Fei sat on the top position, and Lu Bu, Guo Jia and others were listed one by one. After defeating Cao Cao, Ying Fei ordered the cleaning of the battlefield to end and entered the Tiger Prison Pass.
"Hmm."
Nodding, Ying Fei's eyes shot a sharp edge, he stared at Lin Feng, and said, "What's going on, you come together."
"No."
As soon as he made a promise, Lin Feng's expression became more and more respectful, and he turned towards Ying Fei and said, "Just now, the scout came with news that Yuan Shao had broken through Ping County, and he was already under Luoyang City at this moment."
"Sss
As soon as the words came out, everyone was shocked. However, Ying Fei was not the slightest surprised. If under his own indulgence, Yuan Shao can't break through the Pingxian soldiers in the city, which shows that he is really a straw bag.
As soon as the thought turned, Ying Fei's gaze became more aggressive, he stared at Lin Feng, and said, "Yuan Shaobing is coming to the city, what is Prime Minister Dong Cheng's action?"
