"Relocate the capital?"

Dong Zhuo glanced at Li Ru in horror, this move of the capital is not a joke, how can it be said that the capital is moved?

Li Su reminded: "There are nearly a million people in Luoyang. Once the capital is moved, will these people be sent to the princes?"

Dong Zhuo didn't care about these people, he cared about those old bones in the court, these people would never agree to move the capital.

"Of course these can't be cheap. The princes, since they want to move the capital, they have to take everything away."

Dong Zhuo asked, "Is this going to be too exciting?"

Li Ru explained: "In Luoyang a few days ago, there was a nursery rhyme, alluding to the move of the capital to Chang'an, which will ensure that the Xiangguo will soar into the sky."

"What nursery rhyme?"

Dong Zhuo couldn't wait to look at Li Ru.

"There is a Han in the west, and a Han in the east. It will be easy for the deer to walk into Chang'an."

"What do you mean?" Dong Zhuo was at a loss!
"The first Han Dynasty in the west is in response to Gaozu's prosperity in Chang'an, the western capital, and passed down the 12 emperors."

"The first Han Dynasty in the east was born in Luoyang, the eastern capital of Ying Guangwu, and it was also said that there were 12 emperors."

"Fortunate reincarnation, the prime minister moves back to Chang'an, so there will be no danger. Luoyang, the eastern capital, has declined, while Chang'an, the western capital, has revived the dragon spirit. It is Xiangguo's dragon spirit that is added to him..."

Li Ru didn't continue talking, but gave Dong Zhuo a look that could only be understood but could not be expressed in words.

Dong Zhuo rubbed his palms together and said urgently: "Okay, then move the capital, and we'll go back to Luoyang!"

"Li Su, tell Fan Chou and Zhang Ji that Luoyang will not be lost for ten days no matter what!"

"promise!"

Dong Zhuo left Fan Chou and Zhang Ji with [-] Flying Bear Guards and [-] infantry to defend Hulao Pass, and selected [-] Xiliang cavalry as needed.

So he took Li Ru, Li Su and others back to Luoyang.

Summon all the ministers to the palace, and said in a deep voice:
"I watched the sky at night, and saw that Luoyang's dragon energy was gone, and the emperor's energy was flourishing in Chang'an, so I decided to protect Xixing and move the capital to Chang'an!"

All the ministers were terrified, how could this move of the capital be done at will?
Sikong Yang Biao persuaded: "Xiangguo, since the Yellow Turban Uprising, Chang'an has suffered years of wars and has been dilapidated. Isn't this abandoning the palace and turning it into rubble?"

Dong Zhuo said: "Chang'an has a lot of woods and stones. There are dangerous places such as Tongguan, Wuguan, Hanguguan, etc., and it is surrounded by Longshan Mountains. Who can break through? I can guarantee that it will take less than half a month to build a palace. It is definitely much more majestic than Changle Palace."

Taiwei Huang Wan asked: "Xiangguo, how to arrange the civil and military officials in Luoyang who moved west to Chang'an, Luoyang has millions of people, how to raise chariots and horses?"

Dong Zhuo explained: "I have chariots and horses. Just let the civil and military officials sit on them. As for the people in the city, let them follow us. They are a group of untouchables anyway. Do I need to prepare chariots and horses for them?"

Wang Yun observed for a while, and found that Dong Zhuo had already made up his mind to move the capital. If he continued to stop him, his life might be in danger.

Quickly asked: "Since Xiangguo's plan to move the capital has been decided, should we leave for Chang'an?"

Dong Zhuo praised: "See, this is what you should care about."

"I've always acted swiftly and resolutely. The ninth day of the lunar new year is a good day. The relocation of the capital is today. Hurry up and get ready."

Zhou Yan hurriedly persuaded: "Xiangguo, move the capital rashly, abandon the ancestral temple and the imperial tomb, it will cause chaos in the court, absolutely not!"

Wu Qiong also agreed: "Xiangguo, the relocation of the capital is a waste of people and money, it is against the law of heaven, and it will be punished by the gods. It must not be done!"

"Hmph, this is the Zhongxing Han Dynasty, continuing the century-old foundation of the Han Dynasty. What is your intention to dissuade you? Are you the spy of Yuan Shao, Cao Shuo and others?"

"Oh, I remembered. The two of you who recommended Yuan Shao, Liu Dai, Tao Qian, and Cao Shuo must be their spies to thwart my plan to move west."

"Today I will kill both of you!"

Dong Zhuo drew out the sword in his waist, one sword at a time, and chopped the two of them to the ground.

Dong Zhuo stared at the crowd, and said in a deep voice:

"Anyone else have any good advice?"

All the ministers kept silent, they didn't want to touch this bad luck.

"Since there is no objection, what are you waiting for? Go back and prepare!"

After the civil and military officials left, Li Ru suggested: "Xiangguo, we might as well appoint a few ministers to guard one side to contain the princes."

"Oh? Who do you think is suitable?"

"Gongsun Du is the prefect of Liaodong, and he can contain Gongsun Zan, Cao Shuo, and Liu Yu!"

"Liu Biao is the governor of Jingzhou, so he can contain Sun Jian, Yuan Shu and Yuan Yi!"

"Okay, this plan is very good!"

Although these two are not his subordinates, they are both ambitious people.

If they have military power, they will definitely expand. Taking advantage of the emptiness of the Eighteenth Route princes' garrison, they will disrupt their plans behind their backs, and they will not be able to attack Luoyang wholeheartedly.

"Xiangguo, Lu Bu has been in Hedong County for several days, and I'm afraid he won't be able to return to Luoyang!"

"What does Lu Bu mean by this?"

Dong Zhuo didn't understand what Lu Bu was doing, so he promised to go back and stagnated at Jiguan again.

"Presumably Lu Bu is waiting for Xiangguo's sincerity. Why don't you send his family to Hedong County, pretending that he is the governor of Hedong County, and sign an alliance with him to let him wipe out the Yellow Turban Army in Hedong County first."

"I'm afraid this won't satisfy Lu Bu's appetite!"

"Xiangguo can let him know first. As long as he wipes out the Yellow Turban in Hedong County, he will be allowed to assassinate Bingzhou, and Bingzhou will occupy the southern Huns and Xianbei. For a while, he will not care about the north. In this way, the Yellow River There is nothing to worry about in the north."

"it is good!"

Dong Zhuo thought for a while, and finally agreed with Li Ru's suggestion. As long as Lu Bu can help him guard the north bank of the Yellow River, it doesn't matter if he doesn't work for him.

On the ninth day of March in 190 A.D., Dong Zhuo coerced Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty and hundreds of civil and military officials to move their capital to Chang'an, and forced millions of people in Luoyang to travel with them.

Dong Zhuo also allowed the army to plunder and trample on the people. The people were hungry and tired, and countless people died!
He personally led the army to garrison Luoyang, while dealing with the [-]th princes, while stealing the imperial tomb, and ordered to burn down all the palaces, government offices, and private houses in Luoyang, turning them into ashes in a radius of [-] miles.

"Old thief Dong Zhuo, I swear to kill you!"

"Rebel, I will take your dog's head!"

The three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang, who had just attacked the top of the city, cursed one after another when they saw the raging fire in the direction of Luoyang.

"kill!"

The city was occupied, and the Xiliang Army at Hulao Pass quickly lost their advantage.

Cao Shuo led [-] cavalry and stood outside Hulao Pass, watching the allied troops flocking desperately to Luoyang City, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

At this time, Dong Zhuo should have not retreated. If he encounters Dong Zhuo's cavalry, they may suffer heavy losses.

However, Luoyang lost the barrier of Hulao Pass, and Dong Zhuo would not love to fight. He would retreat to Hangu Pass after a small victory.

"kill!"

Hundreds of thousands of troops fought to the death outside Luoyang City. Dong Zhuo resisted for less than two hours.

"The dog thief actually burned the imperial capital!"

"The traitor actually stole my Imperial Mausoleum of the Liu family!"
