As soon as he heard that someone was opposing him, and when he saw that it was Yang Biao, a guy he usually didn't deal with very well, Dong Zhuo immediately said angrily: "What do you know, how dare you stop the country's plan?"
Dong Zhuo had just scared off Yang Biao, but then Huang Wan stepped forward and said, "What Mr. Yang said is true. In the past, Wang Mang usurped and burned Chang'an, turning it into a land of rubble; and the people moved away, leaving nothing One or two. It is not appropriate to abandon the palace and go to the wasteland. I hope the prime minister can carefully consider the matter of moving the capital!"
Hearing that people were opposing him one after another, Dong Zhuo's expression became obviously unhappy, and he said impatiently, "The thieves in Guandong are rising, and the world is in chaos. Chang'an is in danger of Weihan; closer to Longyou, there are wood, stone and brick tiles, which can be eliminated. It won't take more than a month to build the palace. You are important officials of the imperial court, so stop talking nonsense."
Another three princes, Xun Shuang, came forward to admonish, "Prime Minister, if you move the capital rashly, how will the ministers of civil and military affairs arrange it, and how will the people in the city be settled? Prime Minister!"
"Hmph, our family has thousands of chariots. All the officials can ride on them. As for the common people, you don't care whether they live or die." Dong Zhuo curled his lips and said disdainfully.
Indeed, for a person like Dong Zhuo, only himself and even the military power of his men who can be used to maintain his status are the most important. As for the civilians, no matter how much they lose, Dong Zhuo will not have anything in his heart. fluctuation.
Shangshu Zhou Yao knelt down and said: "Xiangguo, if you move the capital rashly, it will cause chaos in the imperial court. You must not do it!"
After being opposed by others one after another, Dong Zhuo could no longer contain his anger and said angrily, "I heard you protect Yuan Shao at first, but now that Yuan Shao's traitor has rebelled, you are determined to be Yuan Shao's party."
After saying that, he drew his sword and stabbed Zhou Ao to death, beheading him and causing blood to splash in the court. The emperor and ministers all became pale, frightened and did not dare to speak any more. Although he killed one person, Dong Zhuo seemed not to be relieved yet, and even dismissed Yang Biao, Xun Shuang and other people who had just opposed him as common people.
This time we talked about moving the capital again, but no one dared to object. Not only did no one dare to object anymore, there was even a chorus of approval in the court.
Seeing this situation, Dong Zhuo sneered disdainfully in his heart, "What a bunch of cheap people. They have to wait until they see blood before they know how to listen to us!"
In this way, Dong Zhuo embarked on a journey to move the capital. The young emperor Liu Xie and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty had no choice but to follow Dong Zhuo's force, even if they were reluctant.
Although Dong Zhuo had already left first, the matter in Luoyang was not over yet.
The wealth of Luoyang is not comparable to that of Chang'an today. Moving the capital is easy to say, but when it comes to Chang'an, all expenses of the court require real money. The land of Xiliang is famous for its barrenness throughout the Thirteen Prefectures of the Han Dynasty. It is well known to everyone that there is not so much money to support Chang'an.
Not only is the economy backward, Chang'an's current population is also quite scarce. Therefore, in this case, someone must stay. In addition to commanding the army, the only thing left is to collect money crazily and drive the people westward.
This move can be described as ruthless, at least if the coalition forces of the Kwantung princes capture Luoyang, Luoyang will become an empty city by then.
As for the means of making money, one is to empty everything in the palace. Of course, the imperial tombs will inevitably be invaded. Secondly, of course, we want to launch troops to plunder!
After Dong Zhuo thought about it, Qin Hui and Lu Bu were temporarily left behind, and they were left to complete the follow-up matters. Of course, Qin Hui is mainly responsible for making suggestions from behind, and it is Lu Bu who really does the work from the front.
Dong Zhuo didn't believe it. This Lu Bu first ransacked the Yuan family, then excavated the imperial tombs, and looted the imperial capital. Even if Lu Bu had rebellious intentions, who would dare to take him in?
But Lu Bu obviously didn't realize Dong Zhuo's evil intentions in leaving him behind. After Dong Zhuo left, at Qin Hui's suggestion, he immediately ordered five thousand cavalry to go around Luoyang to capture thousands of rich households in Luoyang and plant flags. On the top of the book, there was a big book "Rebel against ministers and against the party". They were all killed outside the city and their money was taken. Get millions of gold and silver.
Lu Bu also sent out a group of soldiers and drove millions of people from Luoyang to Chang'an. There was one team for each civilian and one team for the army. They dragged each other and died in the ravines, countless of them.
He also manipulated the soldiers to seize people's food, and their cries shook the heaven and the earth. If anyone is late, three thousand troops behind him will rush to supervise him. The soldiers hold white swords in their hands. Anyone who dares to be late will be killed on the road.
After receiving Dong Zhuo's instructions, before leaving, Qin Hui immediately hinted to Lu Bu and asked him to set fire to various gates, burn residents' houses, and set fire to ancestral temples and palaces. The northern and southern palaces were connected with flames; the Changle Palace was all scorched earth. After excavating the tombs of the late emperor and his concubines and collecting their treasures, the army sergeants took advantage of the situation and dug up all the tombs of officials and civilians.
As a result, Luoyang, the originally luxurious imperial capital, turned into a hell on earth.
Just when Lu Bu finished setting a fire in Luoyang and was preparing to set off with the gold and silver treasures collected through various channels, a small group of defeated soldiers from the Xiliang army suddenly caught up.
"General Yang, what happened? How could you be like this..." Qin Hui asked in shock as he looked at the bloody and embarrassed veteran Yang Lin.
"Hey, Mengjinguan was breached by Li Zifeng's Bingzhou Army. I'm afraid it won't be long before the enemy's pursuers arrive!" Regardless of the fatigue on his body, Yang Lin immediately summarized what happened in the past few days. For a moment.
After Yang Lin's explanation, Qin Hui and Lu Bu finally understood roughly what happened.
Bao Xin's army and the army left behind after Qiao Mao's death attacked Mengjin Pass for several days. Although they still failed to break through the Mengjing Pass under the guard of Yang Lin after several consecutive days of strong attacks, they caused increased casualties to the defenders of Mengjing Pass, and the soldiers guarding the pass were exhausted from days of fighting.
On the last day, Li Xiang finally used the elite main force of the Bingzhou Army instead of Bao Xin or Qiao Mao's troops.
The suddenly fierce attack caught Yang Linlin off guard, and several loopholes appeared in the defense.
It was also Yang Lin's bad luck. There happened to be two very special figures in the Bingzhou army responsible for the attack this time, and these two people were Bai Qi and Yuwen Chengdu. It was the existence of these two people that made The Bingzhou army successfully captured Mengjinguan.
Even gold will shine! Although Li Xiang had not had time to specifically promote Bai Qi and Yuwen Chengdu after they were summoned, the two of them had already shined in this battle. Each of them took the lead in setting a path for themselves. A big credit!
