Dong Zhuo was very shocked that Liu Zhang had already thought so far and allowed himself to poison Luoyang!
What on earth was Liu Zhang thinking? What's the purpose? Was the loyal and patriotic Liu Zhang just faking it, or has Liu Zhang really changed?
Dong Zhuo thought about it, but still couldn't figure out why Liu Zhang changed so quickly!
Since the day Liu Hong died, Liu Zhang's whole person has changed and he has become a stranger to everyone!
However, Li Ru didn't think so much. He felt that since Liu Zhang could propose moving the capital, he would naturally recognize a series of consequences brought about by moving the capital!
"Dong Xiangguo should continue to break up and suffer chaos! When Bai Bo's army rushes into Sili and Yuan Shao divides his troops to attack the Luoyang passes, it will be too late to move the capital!"
Dong Zhuo fell into the old habit of being indecisive again, and Li Ru couldn't help but urge him. In his opinion, relocating the capital has no harm at all!
"General Wei, we have no objection to moving the capital, but moving the capital will definitely take a certain amount of time. What should we do about Hulao Pass? Who will stop Yuan Shao's attack?"
Liu Zhang frowned, showing a hint of displeasure, but did not answer the question.
Dong Zhuo was afraid that Liu Zhang would not be angry, so he quickly explained to him.
"General Wei, it's not our family that is complaining. Think about it, the Baibo Army needs our family to take care of it, right? Moving the capital requires moving the people, so the people also need soldiers to look after them, right? There are also some garrison troops that need to be left in various places. In total, this is what is needed There are many soldiers and horses!”
"Now that things have happened, our family no longer hides from you. The entire Xiliang Army plus the Bingzhou Army is only over 50,000!"
Of course Liu Zhang knew these situations, and he also made this posture deliberately! Even if he agreed to send troops to guard Hulao, he would definitely not be so willing.
"Dong Xiangguo, I understand your difficulties. How about this, I leave some soldiers to garrison Hulao Pass, and you leave a general to continue to intimidate Yuan Shao and others under our banner?"
Dong Zhuo nodded quickly and agreed, fearing that Liu Zhang would regret it.
"Just General Yiwei! Just General Yiwei!"
"I have one more condition. Dong Xiangguo must agree to this."
There are still conditions! Dong Zhuo's smile froze in mid-air.
"General Wei, please speak."
"I will not participate in the matter of moving the capital of Dong Xiangguo. I will take my troops back to Hanzhong. After all, I am still serving as the prefect of Hanzhong."
Dong Zhuo was stunned by Liu Zhang's conditions, his mouth opened slightly, and he even suspected that he heard wrongly!
Is there such a good thing? Liu Zhang actually asked to leave the capital!
Dong Zhuo had just thought about how to drive Liu Zhang away after arriving in Chang'an! I didn’t expect him to bring it up so soon!
To prevent him from dreaming, Dong Zhuo even pinched his thigh! It wasn’t until the pain hit that it was final!
"Dong Xiangguo, is there any problem?"
"No! No! General Wei, please!"
No matter what problem Dong Zhuo had, he always wanted to thank Liu Zhang for his kindness!
"Then the matter is settled! I will go back and make arrangements right away!"
"Okay, leave everything to General Wei!"
Dong Zhuo was afraid of long nights and many dreams, and Liu Zhang was even more afraid!
Now that Liu Zhang has gotten everything he wants, it would be a waste of time to stay here any longer.
Returning to Hanzhong immediately and then going all out to run Yizhou is the most urgent and needed thing at the moment!
Under the enthusiastic gaze of Dong Zhuo and Li Ru, Liu Zhang left the government office and went directly to the military camp to summon all his confidants.
"Generals, Dong Zhuo has decided to move the capital to Chang'an. There is no point in us staying here any longer. I have decided to set off tomorrow and return to Hanzhong!"
Dian Wei, Zhao Yun, and Tai Shi Ci were overjoyed, especially Dian Wei, who grinned and laughed.
"Okay! Master, it's time to go back! I've really had enough of this crappy place!"
Xun You was also very excited. No matter how much Sili does, it is not the goal of the plan after all. Only in Hanzhong can it be the platform for real performance!
"When we get to Hanzhong, we can show off our skills!"
Zhao Yun and Tai Shici clenched their fists slightly. They knew Liu Zhang's plan very well. When they arrived in Yizhou, every battle was related to the future, and it would be particularly important to them and Liu Zhang's group.
"Lord, what should we do with the soldiers under our command? There are many who may not be willing to go far away from Shu with us."
Zhang Liao stood up, raised his hands and asked Liu Zhang a question. When he recruited Han Xingying, he killed many people because he was willing to go to Hanzhong.
"It doesn't matter, you go and notify the whole army immediately, and we will set off for Hanzhong County tomorrow. Those who are willing to go with us can leave together tomorrow, and take their families with them when passing by Luoyang. If you don't want to go, there is no need to force it. Just let them and Dong Zhuo guard Hulao Pass."
A soldier's loyalty largely depends on whether his family members are under the rule of the monarch. If the soldiers are forcibly moved to Hanzhong, they will inevitably flee on the road! Rather than doing this, it is better to give up directly and only lead willing soldiers to Hanzhong.
Zhang Liao accepted the order with his hands raised, but the worry on his face did not diminish.
"My lord, if we leave the decision-making power to the soldiers, I'm afraid many of them will not be willing to follow us."
Liu Zhang now has an army of 40,000, including 10,000 Wufeng camp, 4,000 Hanxing camp and 1,000 Fall camp. These 15,000 people will definitely follow Liu Zhang, but the remaining 25,000 people are not necessarily sure!
These 25,000 people were originally composed of the Xiyuan Army and the Imperial Forest Army. They underwent a screening test and half a year of training! Although it cannot be called an elite soldier in hundreds of battles, it is definitely not comparable to ordinary soldiers!
Zhang Liao was very reluctant to give up these 25,000 men, so he reminded Liu Zhang.
But Liu Zhang didn't care. There was no point in taking these soldiers away by force. When he arrived in Yizhou, millions of people were waiting for him. How many troops did he want?
"Wenyuan, the troops are more elite than too numerous! They have also been fighting for us conscientiously for half a year, so there is no need to embarrass us too much."
Zhang Liao was moved in his heart. This is the true king of benevolence and righteousness!
"My lord has a broad mind, Wen Yuan admires him very much!"
Liu Zhang didn't know whether Zhang Liao was flattering or a compliment from the bottom of his heart, but it felt very comfortable to hear it.
"Haha, Wenyuan won the prize!"
"Generals, it's getting late. Get ready as soon as possible! Remember, everything must be packed early tomorrow morning!"
Zhao Yun and the other five stood up one after another and accepted Liu Zhang's military order.
"As you command!"
"Okay, the military advisor will stay here for a moment, and the others can get ready quickly!"
The five generals did not dare to delay and walked out quickly. Liu Zhang and Xun You were the only ones left in the tent.
"Gongda, how much food and grass do we have? Can we support our journey to Hanzhong?"
