Chapter 288 Moving the Capital to Chang'an

Chapter 188

"Although the general is sincere to them, I don't think they will be used by the general. Isn't the general worried about such a person staying with him?" At this time, Cao Xi suddenly asked.

"Ha ha, we are born to death, kill the enemy, and live a life of licking blood with a knife. Is there anything more to worry about than this? Besides, even if these two really can't be used for me, they can be used by people all over the world. Lv Bu said with a slight smile at the corners of his mouth.

In fact, Lv Bu already has an idea in his mind. Even if Xun Yu and Xun You are unwilling to give advice for themselves and be their own military advisors, Lv Bu can let them make some civil affairs suggestions. Can they refuse Lv Bu and help the suffering Han people? Just like a person like Tai Shici, even if he refuses to use it for himself, Lv Bu will leave him on the border and then give him an army. Naturally, he knows how to protect his family for the country. Is he afraid that Tai Shici will surrender to the foreign people? Whether it is to let Uncle Xun Yu and nephew deal with civil affairs or let Taishi protect his family and defend the country, Lv Bu will benefit from it. This is Lv Bu's idea, which is simple but practical.

"General Lv Bu, I'll go and see the two of them." With that, Tai Shici also went out. Among the people, only Tai Shici and Xun Yu had some friendship. At this time, when they saw Xun Yu saying such words and begged for death, Tai Shici also wanted to see them, so that they would not do anything else.

"There is Lao Ziyi to persuade them. Although I have some thoughts about the two of them, I am not malicious." Seeing that Tai Shici wanted to see Xun Yu and the other two, Lv Bu specially told him.

"General, Xun Yu and the two are not afraid, but it is expected that the general will not do anything to them. Why doesn't the general send someone to Xunjiabao to bring their families? At that time, they can only obey their orders obediently." Suddenly, Cao said viciously.

"I'm afraid it's not appropriate to do this. If the general wants to reuse the two people, he should know them and reach a consensus with them so that they can use me. How can he do such a thing and make them resentful?" After listening to Cao's words, Zhang Liao first objected.

"Well, don't talk about this matter anymore. At present, Cao Cao is defeated and will definitely lead troops. Xingyang is not a place to stay for a long time. Go down and prepare. Let's rest for one night and rush to the Tiger Prison Pass at dawn." Listening to everyone's comments, Lv Bu did not make a statement. It's not that Lv Bu didn't think about Cao Xing's proposal, but now Lv Bu feels that there is no need for it. At least now Lv Bu feels that he still has a chance to subdue Xun Yu. As for Xun Yu, he can't use it for himself for a while. Lv Bu is not anxious. Anyway, there will be It's time. As for controlling Xun Yu's family, Lv said that he hasn't thought about it yet. First, Xun Yu turned to Cao Cao in his heart. He thought that Cao Cao would not take action against Xun Yu's family. Second, Lv Bu had no place to settle down at present. Even if Xun Yu's family was picked up, it would be difficult to take care of. On the contrary, he would be threatened. This is what Lv Bu doesn't want to see.

"General? Don't we rectify the soldiers and horses in Xingyang and collect Dong Zhuo's defeated generals? After listening to Lv Bu's words, Zhang Liao suddenly asked.

"This time, that time. Now that we have met Xun Yu's uncle and nephew, and Tai Shici, it's meaningless to stay in Xingyang. Don't be too greedy. Lv Bu suddenly smiled and said. It can be seen that although Xun Yu and the two are not easy to tame, Lv Bu is still very concerned about getting Xun Yu and Tai Shici.

The next morning, Lv Bu took the people and horses to the Hu Prison Pass. Two days later, when Lv Bu arrived at the Hu Prison Pass, he happened to meet Hou Cheng who rushed from Luoyang.

"General, two days ago, the Prime Minister suddenly transferred Li Wei and Guo Wei from Yongzhou. At this time, Li Wei and Guo Wei had already led troops to Luoyang. General Gao Shun was a little worried, so he asked his subordinates to come to see the general with this news. As soon as we met, Hou Cheng brought a bad news to Lv Bu.

"How many soldiers and horses did Li Wei and Guo Yan bring?" Hearing the news, Zhang Liao asked.

"The two of them brought a total of 40,000 soldiers and horses." Hou Cheng thought about it for a moment before he said.

"It seems that Dong Zhuo still has a different mind about the general, so he transferred Li Yu and Guo Wei to support him." Zhang Liao said with a frown.

Zhang Liao's saying is not groundless. You should know that Dong Zhuo was defeated at this time, and there were not many 200,000 horses left, while Li Wei and Guo Yan only brought 40,000 soldiers and horses. If they want to use these 40,000 soldiers and horses to defend Luoyang and fight against the coalition forces of princes, they have no intention to make a drop in the bucket, but if these people and horses are added to Hua Xiong's hands, it is exactly It is enough to suppress Lv Bu's soldiers and horses, so that people can't help but guess.

"So what do you mean, what should we do now?" Seeing that Zhang Liao had guessed the general idea, Lv Bu turned around and asked.

"Well, everything under his hands is arranged by the general alone." Seeing Lv Bu's expression, Zhang Liao was shocked, but there was no good way.

"At this time, Dong Zhuo's strength is greatly damaged. I believe that Dong Zhuo will not turn against me at this time. As for the future, let's take it step by step." With that, Lv Bu turned to Hou Cheng and said, "Go back and inform Gao Shun so that he can't act rashly. I have my own arrangements."

Although Xun Yu's words were unpleasant, they reminded Lv Bu that Lv Bu's previous killing of Ding Yuan had ruined Lv Bu's reputation. Therefore, although Dong Zhuo has doubts about Lv Bu now, Lv Bu can't easily do rebellious things, otherwise Lv Bu's reputation will be really irreparable. It is. As for power, Lv Bu feels that he has established an advantage over other princes. What is worse now is his reputation. As long as he can find an opportunity to correct his reputation, he is really qualified to compete for hegemony.

"General, don't worry. When he came, General Gao Shun also explained that he hoped that the general would put the overall situation first and not be grudged because of the Prime Minister's approach." After listening to Lv Bu's answer, Hou Cheng was overjoyed and said Gao Shun's meaning at the same time.

"Ha ha, General Gao, who knows me, you can go back and tell General Gao Shun to reassure him." Knowing that Gao Shun also had the same mind as himself, Lv Bu smiled and his face eased a lot. It must be that some generals may not be able to accept what Lv Bu is doing now, but with Gao Shun's words, Lv Bu is much more relieved.

At the same time, in the Luoyang Palace, Dong Zhuo looked at the dancing maid in front of him, but his face was full of displeasure.

"How could this happen? Is it true that I, Dong Zhuo, really can't compare with that hateful Yuan Shao? If I had known today, I should have killed Yuan Shao at the beginning, and there would have been no today's predicament. Thinking that he had just joined Luoyang and was thinking about recruiting Yuan Shao, Dong Zhuo was furious.

"Your Excellency, Yuan Shao is just relying on the prestige of his ancestors, so that he can unite with the princes. Speaking of strength, the Prime Minister is still a well-deserved first prince in the world. Please be patient for a while. The princes are only scattered. Sooner or later, they will part ways. At that time, the Prime Minister will be thunderous. The momentum sweeps the world, and it will definitely sweep the princes and determine the world. Seeing Dong Zhuo's depressed appearance, Li Ru quickly persuaded him.

"Your Excellency, the big deal is not good. There are some Sun Jian's soldiers and horses around Luoyang. It is likely that the princes and soldiers have infiltrated Luoyang. At this moment, Niu Fu rushed in in a panic and reported to Dong Zhuo.

"What? How could this happen? What's wrong with this?" As soon as he heard that the princes and soldiers appeared near Luoyang, Dong Zhuo suddenly panicked. Since the failure of the Zhongmou War, Dong Zhuo has been in a trance, but the two days after returning to Luoyang have reached a little peace of mind, but he did not think that the soldiers and horses of the princes had penetrated around Luoyang.

"Your Excellency, now that the princes and horses are strong, it is difficult for our army to resist, but it is better to move the capital to Chang'an. Chang'an is the land of Longxing of the Han Dynasty, and the blessing is rich. The Prime Minister is in charge of the Han Dynasty, and it will definitely rise in Chang'an. Moreover, Qiangqin has a place of three assistants and looks at the world. Now the war in Luoyang has begun to decline. The prime minister is not as good as moving the capital to Chang'an, which will definitely ensure the safety of one side. Seeing that Dong Zhuo was panicked, Li Ru also felt that the general trend was gone, and Luoyang could not last long, so he proposed to Dong Zhuo about moving the capital.

"Yes, you're right. I've had the intention to move the capital for a long time. However, the capital city has been in Luoyang for a long time. It's not easy to propose. At present, thieves are pressing in. In order to protect the Han Society, we should indeed move the capital." Hearing Li Ru's suggestion, Dong Zhuo moved and suddenly felt that this was a good way to get rid of the pursuit of the princes. Although Luoyang is good, it is not easy to defend, especially the direction of Wancheng is a difficult problem. In contrast, Chang'an is much more stable. As long as the gate is guarded, even if the strength is greatly damaged at this time, it is difficult for the princes and soldiers to attack.

"The Prime Minister's move, in accordance with the fate of heaven, will definitely get a response from the people of the world. It's just that this prosperous and rich Luoyang City can't be left to the princes to spoil it. Please ask the Prime Minister to make arrangements as soon as possible. Seeing that Dong Zhuo agreed, Li Ru suggested again.

"Well, Yuan Shao, a traitor, wants to occupy Luoyang. How can there be such a cheap thing in the world? After the order, all the people of Luoyang went to Chang'an with the army. Anyone who did not obeyed was killed on the spot. When the army set out three days later, it set fire to the city, and a family would never leave a tile for Yuan Shao. Dong Zhuo said fiercely.

At the same time, many soldiers are quietly hiding here in a valley a hundred miles away from Luoyang City.

"General, I have inquired about it. Two days ago, Dong Zhuo suddenly transferred Li Wei and Guo Wei from Yongzhou to strengthen the defense of Luoyang. It seems that it is not easy for our army to attack Luoyang." Cheng Pu just came back from outside the valley and reported to Sun Jian as soon as he came back.

"Have you transferred soldiers and horses from Yongzhou? Is Dong Zhuo still thinking about a war in Luoyang? Sun Jian said with a frown.

"This is not like this. Li Wei and Guo Li brought more than 40,000 horses this time. Now there are only 70,000 to 80,000 soldiers and horses in the whole Luoyang City. How can such soldiers and horses really save the war situation? Moreover, even if Dong Zhuo wants to save the war situation, he should send more troops to Hulaoguan and Wancheng, instead of stationing troops in Luoyang. After listening to the news brought by Cheng Pu, Huang Gai analyzed.
