The Great Explosion of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 123 Tianshui sinks and plans to move the capital

In the next few days, the princes tried to call for a war, but Lu Bu kept holding up his exemption card. In addition, the enemy camp's fortifications were being strengthened every day, and the defenders who closed the Hulao were also staring at them, so that the princes did not dare to make casual moves.

During this period, Zhang Chao planned to detour the Qinling Mountains and attack Hulao Pass from the rear, but he was ambushed by Fan Chou and almost died.

So far, Wang Kuang's, Bao Xin's, Gongsun Zan's and Zhang Chao's troops have been directly disabled, leaving at most [-] soldiers under his command, and Zhang Chao, the worst, has only a dozen or so soldiers under his command.

However, the concept of bypassing the Qinling Mountains made Shi Hui's eyes shine. It was difficult for others to walk, but he didn't mind. He was good at mountain warfare and so on!Especially the soldiers under his command have a 50% speed bonus in mountain battles!

Speaking of both ends, Lu Bu's injury has actually stabilized in three days.One is that Dong Zhuo found him the best medical craftsman, and the other is that Lu Bu, as a warrior, is only 27 or [-] years old, which is the time when he is young and energetic.

Originally resting for three days, he had already planned to meet those princes again, but Dong Zhuo seemed to have a problem and ordered him to continue to close the camp, so he could only stand still.

"What's the situation over there in Tianshui?" Dong Zhuo was summoning a soldier at the moment, and that was Niu Fu, the son-in-law who stayed behind in Tianshui County, and sent a message.

Just today, Lu Bu has recovered, and he is planning to further consume the strength of the Allied forces, and then launch a general offensive.

Unexpectedly, Niu Fu sent someone over to inform Tianshui County of the fall.Not only that, the enemy has already moved towards Longxi County, and it is very likely that the most affluent counties in Liangzhou will fall.

"Ma Teng is just a rogue, with only three to four thousand troops under his command, why can he defeat your tens of thousands of defenders?" Dong Zhuo roared directly. With this comparison of strength, it is impossible to be easily defeated by the opponent.

"Ma Teng got the help of Shaodang Qiang, and he got an additional five thousand elite cavalry. He also had two sworn brothers, one named Han Sui, who was a celebrity in Jincheng County, with thousands of soldiers under his command; and one His name is Li Shimin, and he is a direct descendant of the Li family in Longxi, who sent [-] troops in Longxi.

Ma Teng and Han Sui went south from Jincheng County to attack Tianshui County, while Li Shimin raided our army's logistics from the rear.General Niu Fu didn't expect that there would be turmoil in the rear, and he was caught off guard.Almost all the food and grass were destroyed, morale was in chaos, Li Shimin joined the Ma and Han armies, and the two sides attacked, which led to General Niu's defeat. "The soldier replied in a panic.

"The Li family in Longxi has been quiet for many years and has kept a low profile. Why are they acting so high-profile this time? Don't they know that Liangzhou is my territory!" Dong Zhuo now wants to exterminate this old family.

This is a legendary family. It started from the pre-Qin general Li Xin, and then famous generals such as Li Guang and Li Ling appeared in the Western Han Dynasty.It's just that there was a problem with Li Ling's generation. The whole family kept a low profile and concentrated on business, and there were very few children who could enter the court as officials.

When Dong Zhuo served as the governor of Liangzhou, Li always behaved with his tail between his legs. It was at this time that he felt the beauty of power.What about the old family that has existed for more than 400 years?In the end, he didn't want to beg for mercy on him, a good family member!
It's like raising a dog, and then one day it turns out to help others bite yourself, this feeling is very uncomfortable.Dong Zhuo is more angry now, wishing to raze the Li family in Longxi to the ground!
"Father-in-law, as expected, Longxi County is probably in danger now. The enemy's power will grow rapidly, and Liangzhou will fall completely. It is only a matter of time! The most urgent thing is to return quickly instead of continuing to play with the princes in Sizhou! "Li Ru immediately stepped forward to remonstrate that Dong Zhuo's roots are in Xiliang, in Hedong County, but not in Henan Yin and Hanoi County.

Li Ru knew it well, and Dong Zhuo knew it better, but now the princes have been consumed by him a lot.Seeing that after a while, it might not be impossible to defeat him, but now he has to retreat, how reconciled he is.

Especially if something goes wrong at Hulao Pass, then the princes will drive straight into Luoyang, and there will be no danger to defend.Even if Luoyang's city walls are strong and thick, once it is surrounded, it will fall into desperation.

"Father-in-law, my son-in-law heard a folk song saying, 'There is a Han in the east and a Han in the west, and it will be easy if the deer walks into Chang'an'. Sizhou is not the father-in-law's territory, and Guanzhong is the foundation. The son-in-law suggested, Move the capital!" Li Ru also knew what Dong Zhuo's stomach was hurting, so he immediately came forward to suggest.

"Move the capital? Move the capital...move the capital!" Dong Zhuo heard the words first, and then he couldn't help thinking. After a while, he suddenly raised his head and said firmly.

Dong Zhuo made a decisive decision and immediately sent Fan Chou to go back to make preparations. At the same time, he ordered Xu Rong and Lu Bu to stay in the rear, and finally led the army back to Luoyang himself.

The next day, he went directly to the court and announced the news of moving the capital. Naturally, it was also opposed by many ministers, and the most vocal opposition was Yuan Wei's family.

"Hmph, you old man, your two sons are making trouble here, and you are here to obstruct the court's affairs. Do you really think that the fourth generation of the Yuan Clan and the third prince are great? Come and take Yuan Kai down!" Dong Zhuo already hated After seeing through the Kwantung Allied Forces, now that Yuan Kai persuaded him like this, he immediately became furious.

Immediately, many people stepped forward to persuade Dong Zhuo, which only made Dong Zhuo even more angry, and directly took down all the courtiers who had relations with the princes of the Guandong. Close it firmly.

Li Ru really wanted to say that it is best not to break faces with the princes of the Guandong, but Dong Zhuo was furious and would not listen to persuasion.After an hour, the heads fell to the ground one by one, and it was too late.

Immediately, he didn't bother to continue persuading, but just arranged for the relocation of the capital.Dong Zhuo felt that Luoyang should not be allowed to take advantage of the Guandong princes, so he immediately ordered to drive the people of Luoyang to Chang'an.Not only Luoyang, but the people of Yin, Henan, must be driven to Chang'an.If you don't want to leave, just kill it!
The Xiliang army is not a good guy. They immediately started burning, killing and looting after receiving the order. Many wealthy households, no matter whether they want to leave or not, just pretend that they don’t want to leave, and directly ransack their homes. Silver treasures were divided up directly.

For a time, Henan Yin's side was full of mourners, and the people had no choice but to be driven to Chang'an by Dong Zhuo.

At the same time, the princes discovered one day that the gate of Hulao Pass was suddenly opened, and Lu Bujun entered the pass from the camp outside to guard it.Before he understood why, he received a message from Ma Teng.

"Haha, Ma Shouguo is really good. He has captured the three counties of Jincheng, Tianshui and Longxi, and is leading the army to attack Anding County. At the same time, his two righteous brothers are attacking Wuwei County and Wudu County respectively. The recovery of Liangzhou is just a matter of time." It's a matter of time." When Yuan Shao received the news, he laughed and shared it with everyone.

"Li Shimin...has become Ma Teng's brother-in-law? Did he join Ma Teng's command, or did he retreat behind the scenes as the actual person in power?" When Shi Hui heard this name, he couldn't help being surprised. He didn't expect Li Shimin to come out of the mountain after all. .

　As mentioned earlier, Li Shimin joined Ma Teng's command, so the setting is like this.There will be other arrangements in the future, but the point of standing on Ma Teng's side will not change.

　　It will be mentioned occasionally in the future, or there may be one or two transitional chapters, but it will not be described, and the main line is still dominated by the protagonist.

　　Ask for collection, ask for recommendation!
