Just as Li Ru finished speaking, Dong Zhuo immediately became furious, "Ah," he said after smashing all the things around him, "Isn't Lu Bu said to be invincible?"
"Why can't he even defend a small Hulao Pass? Is it possible that he just has a false reputation?"
After Dong Zhuo calmed down after losing his temper, Li Rucai said: "Now we are not worrying about why Lu Bu failed to defend Hulao Pass, but we are trying to find ways to resolve this disaster."
"Otherwise, those coalition forces will definitely kill us."
Li Ru's persuasion was very important to Dong Zhuo, and Dong Zhuo had always relied heavily on Li Ru.
After calming down, Dong Zhuo said, "Then what should we do now?"
"Hulao Pass has been lost. It won't take long for the allied forces of the princes to reach Luoyang."
"However, there is no way we can make them retreat. Rather, they are originally coming for my head."
After Dong Zhuo finished speaking, he sighed.
Li Ru quickly said: "Nowadays, those coalition forces of the princes are numerous and powerful."
"With an army of hundreds of thousands, it is impossible for us to defend Luoyang without natural barriers and city gates that we can rely on."
"What's more, Luoyang is now an isolated city. For us, it has no role or significance."
Dong Zhuo: "There are only you and me here. Just say whatever you have to say."
"Besides, this defeat has become a certainty, and what we have to do now is to change this destiny."
Dong Zhuo also knew what kind of situation he was facing, if they insisted on defending Luoyang now. In the end, he was just a corpse. After all, Luoyang City was magnificent.
But it cannot be used as a fortress. Now he also knows that giving up Luoyang City is the best choice as Li Ru said.
Li Ru: "Now, we have no choice but to leave Luoyang City. Lead the young emperor to find another place. Maybe Mercury Yang is a good choice."
"Of course, we are not just bringing the Young Emperor inside. We are leaving Luoyang together with all the officials in the city and their families."
"After all, only the place where these civil and military officials are located can be regarded as the imperial court. Those princes will also recognize it, and only these people are the core of the Han Dynasty."
"As long as we leave with them, then where the young emperor is and where all the civil and military officials are, that's where the Han court will be."
"Moreover, the Han Dynasty's orthodoxy has always been in our hands."
Although Li Ru said this to Dong Zhuo, in fact, he never thought this way in his heart.
How could Li Ru not know that the Han Dynasty had already existed in name only? When Yuan Wei and Cao Cao left, Luoyang City and the Young Emperor controlled by Dong Zhuo were just puppets with no effect.
This time, the princes came to attack Dong Zhuo. It was just for his own selfishness. Not only did he find a suitable excuse for himself to raise an army, it was also the last song of the Han Dynasty.
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a reflection of the past, and Li Ru knows this better than anyone else. That's why Dong Bai was asked to take the jade seal and go to the person who he thought had the best chance of becoming the new king of the world.
This is also Li Ru's last resort. At least the last bloodlines of the Dong family and Li family can be preserved, and now Dong Bai has gone to Nanyang.
Dong Zhuo: "Okay, now send someone to inform the civil and military officials. Let them start preparations today, and they must set off before noon tomorrow."
"Also, let the soldiers rob the people in the city. No matter whether it is food or treasure, they will not let go, and 70% of it will be given to them."
"The remaining three achievements will be handed over to this Grand Master."
"As for those civil and military officials who disobey, first kill the chickens to scare the monkeys. If they are still unwilling to leave with me, then kill them all."
"Don't let them go, including their families and slaves. You give them orders now."
"We will set off for Mercury Yang before noon tomorrow."
As expected of Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo made a decision at once. And he is decisive enough and ruthless enough.
Li Ru had no doubts about what Dong Zhuo had ordered. After all, Dong Zhuo's cruelty and method of commanding soldiers would have been something that no one else would have dared to do.
But Dong Zhuo dared and raised a proud and powerful army, the Flying Bear Army.
Li Ru: "I'll do it right away!"
Soon, Dong Zhuo's order spread. At this time, Luoyang City was filled with mourning. There was burning, killing and looting everywhere. Of course, these soldiers were very wise and did not touch the homes of those ministers.
This was also explained by Li Ru in advance. They were afraid that all these civil and military officials would rather die than surrender. In this case, even if they successfully escaped from Luoyang, they would have nowhere to go.
At that time, not only the people of the world will not be able to tolerate them, but also the families, relatives and friends of those civil and military officials. When they get to that point, they will be unable to move forward, and they will be like rats crossing the street, with everyone shouting and beating them.
So, not until then. Li Ru didn't want to do this yet. After all, even today's big man is an empty frame and has no real power at all.
But as long as the name of Dahan lasts for a day, the world will still be called Dahan.
Even though the young emperor knew what happened at this time, he was unable to do anything. After all, there are only a few young eunuchs around him now, so what can he do?
At this time, Dong Zhuo walked in from outside and said: "Your Majesty, prepare to move the capital!"
"I have asked all civil and military officials to start preparations. We will start moving the capital and leave Luoyang at noon tomorrow."
"I'm here to tell His Majesty. I hope Your Majesty will make preparations early."
After all, the young emperor was still just a child, and Dong Zhuo's words had already frightened him. All I could do was stumble and say: "Everything is as the Grand Master said, I have nothing to prepare."
"As soon as the time comes tomorrow, we can set off directly."
Dong Zhuo: "Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty!"
However, Dong Zhuo's heart: It seems that this puppet is quite obedient.
Moreover, the disobedient guy did not expect to be killed by bandits after he escaped.
If not, there might be two big men now.
After the young emperor agreed, Dong Zhuo went back. He has no interest in taking care of a puppet's emotions. As for what the other person thinks, it has nothing to do with him.
After all, he, Dong Zhuo, just needs an obedient puppet.
At the same time, Lu Bu also went to Li Ru and said, "Didn't the Grand Master blame us?"
Li Ru: "Don't worry, Marquis Wen, now that it has happened."
"The Grand Master is naturally not such a stingy person. What's more, Marquis Wen was willing to take refuge in the Grand Master regardless of previous grudges. So how could the Grand Master be so unkind?"
"Moreover, Marquis Wen is here. If you can protect the Grand Master from worry, he will naturally not vent his anger on Marquis Wen."
Lu Bu didn't expect that Dong Zhuo didn't blame him at all. Naturally, he didn't really think that Dong Zhuo was merciful.
After all, Lu Bu had already heard about Dong Zhuo's ferocity and cruelty.
Lu Bu: It seems that the reason why Dong Zhuo did not blame me this time is simply because he still needs my strength.
After thinking about everything clearly, Lu Bu said to Li Ru: "I didn't expect that the grand master would treat me so kindly. From today on, Bu is willing to go through fire and water for the grand master, and I will never complain."
What Lu Bu said was sincere, and even Li Ru believed that Lu Bu was really influenced by Dong Zhuo. But only Lu Bu knew that this was just his own expediency.
After all, saving one's own life is the only way to go now.
Li Ru: "With the words of Marquis Wen, the Grand Master will have no worries during this trip."
By the way, there is another big shot in Luoyang City. That is to say, Wang Yun is still in Luoyang City. Since Dong Zhuo has strengthened his control over Luoyang, even Wang Yun has no way to leave Luoyang.
He has been trapped inside. At this time, after he heard the message from the soldiers sent by Li Ru, he also knew that all this was out of his control.
Besides, his wife, children, and children are all here. Even if you want to escape, there is no way.
What's more, since Cao Cao failed to assassinate Dong Zhuo. He was even under strict supervision by Dong Zhuo. This alone made Wang Yun live on tenterhooks these days.
Wang Yun: "Go ahead and start packing your luggage immediately."
"Lock up all your valuables and put them in the guest room in the backyard."
"Take away all the money and clothes you use for daily use. No matter whether you are a female family member or a madam, you are not allowed to wear gorgeous clothes."
"This includes myself. This time it's not just about moving the capital. It's about fleeing. We must reduce our presence and goals as much as possible so that we can survive."
Everyone obeyed Wang Yun's instructions without a doubt. But late at night, Wang Yun and all the men of the Wang family gathered in the backyard.
Then it took two hours to store everything in three basements, which were hidden in the rockery, woodshed and ancestral hall.
Only the Wang family themselves know about these places, and it is impossible for the servants to know about them. After all, the construction of these places was all done by the ancestors of the Wang family themselves.
After everything was moved, everyone gathered together. Wang Yun said: "From today on, there is no distinction between direct and collateral lines in the Wang family."
"All of you, including me. No matter who survives in the future, it's better to go somewhere anonymous."
"It doesn't matter what happens, but remember that you are the Wang family. This will also be the place where our Wang family will make a fortune again."
"What happened today will not be mentioned to anyone except my own family in the future. Are you clear?"
Everyone in the Wang family: "Clan leader, it's all clear!"
After getting their affirmative answer, Wang Yun let them go back.
Wang Yun: I don’t know what the future will be like. Maybe the big man’s fate is over now. Where should I, Wang Yun, go?
This is what Wang Yun asked himself in his heart.
