The questions raised by Liu Zhang clearly reached Dong Zhuo's blind spot in knowledge. He only knew where the enemy attacked and he defended it. Why did he think so much?
Dong Zhuo looked at Li Ru, but Li Ru was also confused and didn't understand what Liu Zhang meant.
"Although Dong Xiangguo, Brother Wen You, and Wang Kuang have stationed troops in Hanoi to threaten Meng Jin at all times, their troops are so sparse that they are not a cause for concern. If Yuan Shao's army of more than 100,000 soldiers is divided into various directions and threatens Luoyang's main road at the same time, Yuan Shu will order Nanyang again. What if the crowd leaves Wuguan and enters the middle of the pass to threaten Dong Xiangguo's retreat?"
Dong Zhuoguo became more and more shocked when he heard this, and sweat began to pour out of his forehead.
"If Yuan Shao really does this, our family will have no choice but to flee back to the northwest..."
Liu Zhang breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Dong Zhuo was not stupid and understood what he meant.
"Dong Xiangguo, not everyone in the coalition army is a loser! For example, Sun Jian and Sun Wentai, if Yuan Shu hadn't cut off their food and grass, it's hard to say whether Daguguan would be safe and sound now!"
Dong Zhuo nodded. He knew the situation at Dagu Pass. He could defeat Sun Jian only because of Yuan Shu's help!
"Yes, does General Wei mean that there are people in the coalition forces who will come up with such an invasion strategy?"
Dong Zhuo was extremely smart today and got to the point directly!
"Someone can definitely think of it, and it has been proposed a long time ago! It's just that Yuan Shao didn't adopt it."
Dong Zhuo's face became even more melancholy. It would be quite dangerous for someone to think about it. Now the defense at every level is ineffective!
"Why doesn't that traitor Yuan Shao use it? If they follow this method to advance the army, won't their wishes be realized immediately?"
"I understand, Yuan Shao's thoughts are not on entering Luoyang at all!"
Li Ru exclaimed and figured everything out in an instant!
"Yes, but what Brother Wenyou said is not comprehensive. The thoughts of all these heroes of Guandong are not in Luoyang!"
Liu Zhang smiled and nodded. It was very easy with Li Ru guiding him.
"The heroes of Guandong seem to be holding high the banner of justice and marching to Beijing to serve the king, but in fact they are all trying to fight for power, support their own troops, and expand their territory! The coalition suffered more than 20,000 casualties before, which made the heroes cherish their own troops even more! Maybe Yuan Shao It’s not that he doesn’t want to attack Hulao, it’s that he can’t command his troops, and he also doesn’t want his troops to suffer excessive losses!”
Dong Zhuo wiped the sweat off his forehead and finally felt relieved. According to what Liu Zhang said, there was no danger!
"Our family has long said that both Yuan and Yuan are mediocre, and the heroes of Guandong are all rabble, so there is nothing to worry about!"
Liu Zhang walked up to Dong Zhuo and waved his hand gently.
"Dong Xiangguo, have you ever thought about a problem? The gathering of Yuan Shao's coalition forces is always a disaster. Who can guarantee that they will never work together? Just like the current crisis, once the Baibo army attacks Sili, what will happen to Yuan Shao? Will we miss this opportunity? It’s hard to say!”
Liu Zhang's few words directly knocked Dong Zhuo from heaven back to hell.
"Damn it! It's all because of this good-for-nothing Niu Fu that our family is so passive! General Wei, you are so resourceful, please come up with a solution for our family!"
Dong Zhuo could only scold his son-in-law angrily while praying to Liu Zhang for a countermeasure.
Of course Liu Zhang had a plan and had been waiting for Dong Zhuo to ask him.
"Dong Xiangguo, the coalition forces can gather together and falsely shout about the righteousness in their mouths, just because they have a unified goal! If this goal is gone, can they still gather righteousness? I am afraid that by then, will they be able to live in peace? It’s all a luxury, right?”
Dong Zhuo was confused after hearing this and still didn't understand what Liu Zhang meant.
"Target? What target? Just tell me, General Wei! Our family is too stupid to react!"
Liu Zhang did not speak, but looked at Li Ru. Unexpectedly, Li Ru was also looking at him!
"General Wei, do you mean to move the capital?"
Liu Zhang raised the corners of his mouth slightly, but did not admit it.
"Brother Wenyou, this is what you meant."
Li Ru nodded understandingly, and then couldn't help laughing.
"Hahaha, I understand, I understand!"
Dong Zhuo couldn't understand a word Liu Zhang and Li Ru sang in harmony.
"What are you two talking about? Stop playing riddles! Tell us now!"
"Dong Xiangguo, as long as we move the capital and take His Majesty away to Chang'an, the coalition forces will lose their goal and they will definitely disperse!"
Dong Zhuo nodded lightly. It was no big deal for him to move the capital, not to mention that Sanfu was his home base.
"There is no problem in moving the capital, but can't traitors like Yuan Shao attack Chang'an?"
Li Ru had already thought of Dong Zhuo's worries and stroked his beard proudly.
"Don't worry, Xiangguo Dong! Guanzhong is not like Luoyang. It is protected by Mount Wei, Mount Hua, and the Yellow River. It has a strong strategic depth! And after we retreat into Guanzhong, if Yuan Shao and others continue to pursue us, we will definitely be stretched. Their supplies! As time goes by, the thieves will disperse!"
Dong Zhuo fell into deep thought. Luoyang was so prosperous that it was a bit reluctant to give up Dong Zhuo!
"Then how can we convince the ministers? Moving the capital is a big move!"
The corners of Li Ru's mouth rose, still looking very proud.
"Dong Xiangguo, have you heard a nursery rhyme?"
"What nursery rhyme?"
"With a Han in the east and a Han in the west, it will be easy for a deer to walk into Chang'an!"
How could a rough guy like Dong Zhuo know this? He looked at Li Ru doubtfully.
"What do you mean? Please explain it clearly to our family!"
Li Ru smiled, nodded, and explained to Dong Zhuo.
"The Han Dynasty in the west corresponds to Gaozu's prosperity in the western capital Chang'an, and the Han Dynasty in the east corresponds to Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu's prosperity in Luoyang, the eastern capital! Now that the Han Dynasty is in danger of survival, does it not correspond to the present His Majesty? When the Han Dynasty is revived again? If the capital can be moved to Chang'an again, the Han Dynasty will definitely be revived!"
Liu Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, for he was afraid that Li Ru would say something like the Twenty-Four Emperors of the Two Han Dynasties!
"Hey! It's okay to move the capital, but this great Luoyang should be left to thieves like Yuan Shao! It's really hateful!"
Luoyang is a metropolis with a population of one million. If it is left to Yuan Shao and others, their strength will definitely increase greatly! This is also something Dong Zhuo is extremely worried about.
"Dong Xiangguo, why should we leave it to traitors like Yuan Shao?"
Dong Zhuo didn't understand what Li Ru meant and sighed helplessly.
"Hey, what if we don't leave it to Yuan Shao? Can we still destroy it?"
"That's right! Just destroy Luoyang!"
Li Ru put away the smile on his face, and there was a hint of ferocity in his eyes.
"Destroy Luoyang!"
Dong Zhuo exclaimed and subconsciously looked at Liu Zhang.
After all, Liu Zhang is a clan member of the Han Dynasty and the princess's consort! Maybe he can ignore Dong Zhuo's misbehavior, but he may not be able to let Dong Zhuo destroy Luoyang!
Liu Zhang didn't seem to hear it at all. He didn't get angry at the words "ruined Luoyang", but instead smiled.
"Dong Xiangguo, you do extraordinary things in extraordinary times! Naturally, I will not have any objections!"
