Chapter 69 Dong Zhuo Prepares to Move the Capital to Chang'an
Chapter 69 Dong Zhuo prepares to move the capital to Chang'an
What's more, Hulao Pass is a naturally dangerous place. Even this kind of pass can be broken through in such a weird way. If it were another pass, other generals probably wouldn't be able to defend it.
Even Li Ru's talent couldn't figure out how to break Hulao Pass. The only thing he could think of was that the gate of Hulao Pass opened and Lu Bu smiled and welcomed the princes in.
But obviously, this is absolutely impossible.
This gave him an incomparable sense of crisis. There might be an expert behind these princes!
Seeing Xu Rong's continued description in front of him, he felt even more powerful. Even Li Ru, who was extremely careful and did not believe in ghosts and gods, was slightly frightened.
If he were present, he probably wouldn't be able to break the situation, and Xu Rong can't be blamed for this.
After a short conversation, the few of them let Xu Rong go back to rest.
Then, Dong Zhuo's eyes flickered, and he was slightly worried.
"Wen You, now that Hulao Pass has been broken, how should we deal with it?"
Luoyang now has no safety barrier and is easy to attack and difficult to defend. If you stay here, it will be a dangerous place that can be conquered at any time.
And Luoyang is the capital of the country, so there is no way at all.
Hearing Dong Zhuo's inquiry, Li Ru also sighed. It would be fine if he could be alone now, but Dong Zhuo obviously would not give up on Han Xian Emperor Liu Che.
Then Li Ru's eyes flashed with a hint of ruthlessness: "Why don't we move the capital to Chang'an!"
"Not only is it our territory in Liangzhou, but we can also control the entire government and opposition in our hands!"
This is the only way now.
Dong Zhuo frowned slightly. Moving the capital was no small matter. Not only did it require the civil and military forces of the dynasty, but it also required a gimmick reason.
But considering that there is no better way now, Dong Zhuo can only nod and say: "How to move the capital?"
Li Ru smiled and said with a familiar face: "This is not simple. When the time comes, it will be said that Luoyang's luck is weak and it will affect the destiny of the country!"
"Then I spread some nursery rhymes in Luoyang City, saying that there is a Han in the east and a Han in the west. I made up nonsense, and those ignorant people will naturally believe it."
Dong Zhuo's eyes lit up when he heard this. Sure enough, asking Li Ru was the best choice at this time. However, he still had many doubts in his heart and continued to ask:
"If I bring up moving the capital, the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty will definitely oppose it."
When he heard this, Li Ru smiled and said, "Master Xiangguo, it's not your character to be so kind."
Hearing this, Dong Zhuo also smiled, with a sinister look in his eyes.
"I'm in a panic. I'll just kill a few of the leading ones when the time comes!"
The two looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.
The next day, morning.
Although Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was in court, the civil and military officials had to wait for Dong Zhuo to arrive before they could start the court meeting.
But at this moment, no one was impatient at all. The officials even had a hint of joy on their faces and were whispering underground.
Naturally, they all received the news of the great victory of the princes.
Dong Zhuo brought trouble to the government and relied on his military power to allow his soldiers to rob wealthy households and loot property in Luoyang City, committing all kinds of evil.
Who among the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty could be optimistic about Dong Zhuo?
At this moment, the civil and military officials in the court wished that the princes would rush into the palace and chop off Dong Zhuo's head!
Countless people looked happy. They had been waiting for this day for too long. Nowadays, people in Luoyang are in dire straits, and they are not as prosperous as in the past.
Just as everyone was whispering with joy, Dong Zhuo walked into the hall with a gloomy face.
In an instant, the scene became much quieter. Many people were staring at Dong Zhuo on the stage. Countless people's eyes flickered as they looked at Dong Zhuo.
Hulao Pass has been broken, how long can Dong Zhuo continue to be arrogant?
Dong Zhuo smiled slightly. He had already had the privilege of entering the court and going to the palace with a sword, but he had never drawn a sword in this hall.
Looking at everyone, Dong Zhuo smiled lightly and said the words he had prepared.
"Yesterday I saw that Luoyang's luck was exhausted. If we continue to make the capital here, I'm afraid it would affect the fate of the country. Now that Chang'an's luck is like a rainbow, I decided to move the capital to Chang'an!"
"What do you think?"
As soon as these words came out, Manchao Wenwu's expression changed instantly. He originally thought that the thief had reached the end of his life, but he didn't expect that he would make such a plan.
Wang Yun and Cai Yong also looked at each other, looking at Dong Zhuo fearfully and not daring to speak.
However, with so many people in the civil and military dynasties, there were also many people with extraordinary courage.
"I don't agree!"
"Absolutely impossible!"
"I, the Han Dynasty, have been here since ancient times, so there is no reason to move the capital!"
As long as one person stood up to speak, other officials immediately echoed, and countless people began to speak.
Looking at the situation in front of him, Dong Zhuo was not surprised. Instead, he smiled, drew out the sword from his waist, and
With a flash of sword light, the official who raised objections fell to the ground covered in blood. He made no sound and was too dead to die.
Dong Zhuo looked at everyone with a smile and asked, "Is there anyone else who objects?"
For a moment, there was complete silence, no one dared to make a sound.
"Since you all have no objections, we have decided to withdraw from the court!"
After taking a look at everyone, Dong Zhuo left with a smile. The others looked at each other in the hall, at a loss.
Luoyang, things are about to change!
In Prince Situ's palace, Wang Yun returned with a gloomy face and twinkling eyes. He had even had a big quarrel with his friend Cai Yong before he came up with this plan.
His adopted daughter Diao Chan had already agreed, but Lu Bu, who had returned early, was nowhere to be seen.
This made his plan completely useless.
"We absolutely cannot let that traitor Dong move the capital!"
Wang Yun slapped the table hard, making the maids beside him startled.
Looking at the panicked maid, Wang Yun was already upset, waved his hand and said: "Go down."
Although he shouted that Dong Zhuo could not move the capital, he really couldn't think of any solution in his mind.
Walking in the courtyard, Wang Yun tried to find some inspiration for himself and maybe think of a clever plan.
However, as soon as Wang Yun entered the courtyard, he heard the children next door shouting some nursery rhymes.
If you listen carefully, it turns out that it is shouting: "One Han in the east, one Han in the west, and the road will go into Chang'an, and there will be no such difficulties!"
Wang Yun's face turned even paler. This thief Dong actually spread such rumors!
However, after Wang Yun heard the nursery rhyme, all thoughts in his mind disappeared instantly, and the same scene happened everywhere in Luoyang.
This nursery rhyme was being chanted throughout Luoyang, causing countless officials to despair!
At the same time, in Hulao Pass, Zhao Feng's eyes flickered and he was reading the message sent by Tongque in advance.
As he expected, once Hulao Pass was broken, Dong Zhuo would definitely start moving the capital.
Looking at Zhao Feng's face, Cao Cao couldn't help but ask: "Military advisor, what's wrong?"
Zhao Feng handed over the secret letter and said: "Dong Zhuo is preparing to move the capital to Chang'an."
Everyone is still repairing at Hulao Pass. If they face Dong Zhuo's hundreds of thousands of troops, Cao Cao's strength alone will not be enough.
Cao Cao received the secret letter and his expression changed.
If we really let Dong Zhuo return to Chang'an, it would be difficult.
