Imperial Power Of Han Dynasty

Dong Zhuo sat motionless on the ground, his expression suddenly getting older.

With a trembling of his lips, Dong Zhuo suddenly said: "Wenyou, we have brought soldiers into Beijing, did we do something wrong?"

Seeing Dong Zhuo's loss of confidence, Li Ru sighed in his heart, but did not show it on his face.

"What did the prime minister say? In the past, King Wen was imprisoned in Chaoge City, and his life and death were at the hands of the jailer. In the future, the Zhou tribes and Muye fought to establish the country for eight hundred years; the emperor was entrusted to Nanzheng by King Xiang, with Zhang Han and others as three King Qin, the struggle for hegemony between the Chu and Han Dynasty ended in King Xiang’s suicide on Wujiang. How can the prime minister belittle himself?"

Li Ru sternly said: "Although our army has failed one after another, there are still hundreds of thousands of troops sitting on the combined state, so they can retreat temporarily, slowly."

Dong Zhuo finally had some spirit: "Oh?"

Dong Min and Xu Rong died one after another. Fan Chou was in a hurry. Liu Ye and Yuan Shu joined forces to march eastward with an army of 100,000. Hearing that Yuan Shao in Hanoi was also about to move, Dong Zhuo was immediately exhausted physically and mentally, and he didn't know what to do.

Li Rudao: "Our army used to occupy Bingzhou, and now if we withdraw from Luoyang, at most nothing will be gained. Moreover, the emperor is still in the hands of our army. Is it possible that Liu Ye and Yuan Shu rebels are not worried about the safety of the emperor?"

Exit Luoyang?

Dong Zhuo was quite unwilling. It just happened that He Jin and Shi Changshi were facing each other. He seized the opportunity to enter Luoyang, but now he wants to retreat in a desperate manner, which is too embarrassing.

Li Ru persuaded: "Prime Minister, before our army leaves, we can move the people in the city to Bingzhou. By the way, we can blackmail the rich and powerful people in the city and excavate the imperial mausoleum to enrich the military posture. Just like today, our army will sit in Bingzhou and watch the world fight. , Waiting for the opportunity to send troops, even if the emperor's career cannot be achieved, it will not be a problem to separate the rule for the king."

After some thought, Dong Zhuo nodded.

"Okay! Order Lv Bu to return to Hulao Pass to guard against Yuan Shao going south. Fan Chou defends Hangu Pass and must not attack easily. He will be rewarded by holding Hangu Pass."

"Let Li, Lao and Guo Pun lead the flying bear army to rob the rich and powerful in the city, order Zhang Ji to excavate the imperial mausoleum overnight, move the people in the city, the dwelling house will immediately withdraw to Hexi, order Duan Yan to lead the army to greet!

Seeing Dong Zhuo finally recovering from the gloom, Li Ru finally breathed a sigh of relief and agreed.

"Don't worry, the prime minister will go down to supervise it!"

Liu Ye's consecutive victories in Guanxi finally aroused Dong Zhuo's strong uneasiness. With Liu Ye and Yuan Shu's two-way coalition forces pressing down on Hangu Pass, Dong Zhuo finally couldn't support it, determined to get out of Luoyang's quagmire.

Dong Zhuo first gave orders to Fan Chou and Lu Bu and ordered Fan Chou and Lu Bu to defend Hangu Pass and Hulao Pass respectively. Although Fan Chou was afraid of Liu Ye and Yuan Shu's "One Hundred Thousand Army", after all, he was Dong Zhuo's direct line general, so he still clung his teeth to Hangu Pass.

However, Lu Bu was somewhat noncommittal about Dong Zhuo's orders and remained in Yanzhou. However, as Dong Zhuo's words became more and more severe, he wanted to cut off Lu Bu's food supply. Lü Bu had no choice but to withdraw from Chen Liu and retreat to Hulao Pass. Although Dong Zhuo succeeded in restraining Lü Bu, he also planted the seeds of discord between the two.

April 23 is destined to be an unusual day.

On this day, almost all the rich and powerful people in Luoyang City were ransacked. Li, Guo, and Guo Bang brought the flying bear army to door to door, and all the rich and famous in Luoyang City were found.

This group of flying bears committed suicide in Luoyang on weekdays and killed civilians. Due to their status, they could not do anything to the big family. However, Prime Minister Dong gave the order and two generals, Li Guo, led the team personally. Naturally, his men were not merciful.

Treasures, silk and silk, all taken away. Women, young and old, whether they were married and murdered and did not come out of the cabinet, they all snatched them away.

As for Zhang Jigan's matter, it is even more angry. The Han dynasty was divided into the Eastern and Western Han dynasties by Wang Mang's Rebellion, and their capitals were set in Luoyang and Chang'an respectively. Naturally, the tombs of the two Han dynasties of more than 20 generations were also half of each.

Zhang Ji led Dong Jun’s cavalry directly into the royal cemetery, dug up all the more than ten royal cemeteries of the Eastern Han Dynasty, exposed the corpse in the wilderness, and dug up all the funerary items.

The great scholar Lu Zhi was furious: "Dong thief excavated the tombs of the first emperors in the past dynasties, but he is a chaotic courtier and thieves. How does Wang Mang compare?"

The court ministers who were loyal to the Han Dynasty naturally wailed, but Dong Zhuo was unmoved. It can be said that Dong Zhuo is already bold.

After looting the rich and powerful people in the city and digging up the funerary objects in the tomb, Dong Zhuo finally came up with his assassin.

Move the capital!

Dong Zhuo was in the palace and said to the little emperor Liu Xienian: "The rebels Liu Ye, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others have no eyes on the emperor. They gathered the thieves to besiege the imperial capital. The Luoyang dynasty did not guarantee the night. The minister proposed that his majesty move the capital to Jinyang and preserve the ancestral temple.

Jongmyo? You Dong Zhuo dug your grave soon?

Liu Xie was a young puppet emperor, and naturally "agreed with everything."

After Dong Zhuo played, the emperor and the hundreds of civil and military officials, as well as the more than 400,000 households around Luoyang City, were forcibly moved to Bingzhou, and then a fire was set off to Luoyang City.

Fan Chou, who was stationed at Hangu Pass, and Lu Bu, who was stationed at Hulao Pass, saw the smoke and fire in the direction of Luoyang, and immediately led their troops to retreat and chased in the direction of Dong Zhuo.

When Yuan Shao stationed in Hanoi saw Dong Zhuo fleeing, he immediately swung his troops to pursue him, but he did not expect that he was hit by Li Ru's scheme. Lu Bu set up ambush halfway, and when Yuan Shao led his troops arrived, he suddenly shot out from the side.

Lu Bu was so prestigious that the Hanoi coalition forces saw Lu Bu suddenly attacked, and was rushed by the Bingzhou cavalry.

However, Lu Bu's military strength is limited, and he is not willing to compromise his military strength too much. After all, the main reason why Dong Zhuo attaches so much importance to him is the 20,000 troops under his command. If the 20,000 army is damaged too much, Dong Zhuo can still put his Lu Bu in his eyes?

Therefore, Lu Bu withdrew after a while and the Allied forces in Hanoi fled for a while. Yuan Shao packed up the defeated soldiers and stationed in Hanoi again. He did not dare to act rashly, but waited and watched the situation.

Fan Chou withdrew his troops from Hangu Pass, leaving only a group of old and weak.

Upon seeing this, Liu Ye immediately ordered Zhang Jai to tentatively attack, but he did not expect to attack in a rush.

He asked about the whereabouts of Fan Chou from the mouth closed on the old, weak and sick. Knowing that Dong Zhuo had escaped, Liu Ye made a decisive decision, joined Yuan Shu, and slammed towards Luoyang.

The fifty thousand army rolled forward without stopping, and when they arrived in Luoyang, there was only a thick smoke and fire.

Luoyang is a century-old imperial capital. Liu Ye and Yuan Shu were naturally taken aback after seeing this, and hurriedly directed the army to fight the fire, especially in the direction of the imperial palace.

Fortunately, Liu Ye and Yuan Shu came quickly, and the fifty thousand army made their best effort. Although the fire in Luoyang City was very strong, after a whole day of work, the fire was finally controlled. However, half of Luoyang City was ruined. As for the people, it was ten. Room nine empty.

Upon seeing this, Liu Ye made a decisive decision to help the people with military food, and at the same time allocated a large amount of food and grass from Guanzhong.
