Great Wei Nengchen

"That's right, that's right!" Xiao Yi nodded expressionlessly. Although Dong Zhuo has a small structure in his chest, he can only dominate one side and cannot unify the world, but when it comes to cruelty and easy killing, he is unparalleled in the world. What he can't get will not be left to others even if it is destroyed, and the same is true for Luoyang City.

"What should I do?" Liu Bei couldn't hold the wine glass in his hand, trembling so badly, Luoyang City is not only the capital of the great Han, but also the mausoleum of the emperors of the Han Dynasty in Beiman Mountain outside the city, that is their old Liu's family The ancestral grave!

"I'm afraid, there's nothing I can do...

[-]-word chapter, please do your best, please give me a reward!

236. Chapter 236 One word, dig!

Knowing that his family's ancestral tomb is difficult to protect, Liu Bei has no intention of staying any longer. As a member of the Han family, he must do what he can. Now, if he wants to keep Luoyang City and the imperial tombs in Beiman Mountain, there is only one way , Let the princes march quickly, at all costs, even if it is to pile up corpses, they must pile up the tiger prison pass, and then march to the city of Luoyang. Only in this way can the ancestral dragon veins of the Han family be preserved before Dong Zhuo makes up his mind!

But Liu Bei knew in his heart how difficult it is to let the princes enter the army. Eighteen princes, eighteen hearts, everyone is doing everything possible to preserve their strength. In troubled times, strength has everything, and no one will give it to others in vain. Make a wedding dress.

Knowing that it can't be done but he has to do it, even if there is only one ten-thousandth hope, Liu Bei will give it a try. This is his responsibility and obligation as a clan member of the Han family. For the first time, Liu Bei discovered that the "surname Liu" turned out to be Not all good things!

After getting out of the big tent, I saw more than a dozen carts parked outside. Each cart was driven by two strong draft horses, and the carts were bulging full of goods. The horses kept spraying white water from their nostrils. Just by looking at it, the goods pulled above should be very heavy.

"Hehe, this is a small gift for Duke Xuande, one thousand stones of corn, three hundred pairs of armor, one thousand spears, five hundred ring swords, two hundred sets of bows and arrows, I hope you can accept it!" Xiao Yi pointed his finger Vehicles, talking about the list of these goods.

"Such a generous gift, how dare you take it, Commander Xiao is so righteous!" Liu Bei was very surprised. He and Xiao Yi had never had any contacts, and even the number of times they met was very small. Today is the first time to visit. In the end, I gave a wild boar as a meeting gift in a very poor way, but they returned more than a dozen carts of precious ordnance, one in the sky and one underground!

"I have been friends with Duke Xuande for a long time, seeing him today is enough to comfort my whole life, it is just a little gift, there is no need to refuse!" Xiao Yi would not say that he had been friends with Liu Bei in the TV series "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" for a long time, However, he does have a vague fondness for this big-eared 'Ah Fu', and helping this 'hidden dragon' as much as he can can be regarded as fulfilling one of his childhood dreams!

"Thank you so much, Commander-in-Chief, I will allow Liu Bei to repay you in the future!"

"Haha, dare not! Don't dare!" Hearing Liu Bei say that he would 'repay' him generously, Xiao Yi's heart tightened in fright. With his limited historical knowledge, it seemed that anyone who was rewarded generously by Liu Bei was not good. As a result, for example - Lu Bu, Liu Biao, Liu Zhang...

A hero in troubled times, you have to guard against it!

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………

After arriving at the gate of the camp, Liu Bei took Guan and Zhang with a dozen cars and flew to leave with a windfall. Everything that happened tonight made them still in their dreams. There are many legends about Xiao Yi in the coalition army, but most of them are The comments of 'arrogant and rude, bloodthirsty, treacherous and cunning, etc.', I didn't expect to see them today, it was not like that at all. The 'Ghost Face Xiao Lang' they saw was hospitable and generous. Even more courteous, it's really 'It's better to meet people than to be famous, rumors can't be trusted! '

"Brother, this man can be considered a hero. He has a unique view on the world's major events, and his conversation is even more extraordinary. Can you take it for your own use? If so, the elder brother will be a help?" Jin, since he can say such a thing today, it can be seen that he deeply approves of Xiao Yi in his heart.

"What the second brother said is very true. I think that Xiao Yi's character is first-class in martial arts, he is good at leading troops in battle, and he has a good capacity for alcohol. It really suits his appetite..." Zhang Fei on the side also raised his hands in agreement. A drinking buddy is with him every day, that's a bliss!

If others hear the conversation of the three brothers, they must think they are crazy. A small sesame official of the Pingyuan Order wants to subdue the famous "ghost-faced Xiao Lang", but even big figures like Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao can't. He did it, and Zhang Yang, the governor of Bingzhou, was worrying all day long--the tail is too big, only Guan and Zhang know that although his eldest brother is in a humble place now, he has good plans and great ambitions, and there will be a time when he will soar into the sky in the future!

Before Qianlong took off, who knew it was a dragon?I probably thought it was a cauliflower snake!

All that is missing is wind and cloud!

"It's difficult! The two virtuous brothers don't know something. Xiao Yi looks humble, but he is extremely proud in his bones. He doesn't even pay attention to Mr. Yuan, the four generations and three princes. One can imagine how big his heart is." Such a character is comparable to the ancient Baiqi, decisive in killing and ruthless in iron and blood. If he wants to use it for himself, he must be an eternal emperor like "Qin Huang Han Wu". As for others, he can't afford it, and he can't use it! "

Liu Bei shook his head. In fact, from the time when Xiao Yi "warmed the wine and killed Hua Xiong", he started to make friends and subdue him. After observing for a while, he found that Xiao Yi's killing spirit was too heavy, like a double-edged sword Sword, if you don't control it well, it will not only hurt others, but also yourself. He really doesn't have that confidence. Moreover, Liu Bei has always been known for his "loyalty, benevolence and righteousness" and walks the line of being close to the people, while Xiao Yi is full of The fierce and notorious reputation of the two people, the two have different ways and do not conspire with each other!

…………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………………………………………………

In Hulaoguan, Dong Zhuo has been living like a year lately. He has already killed more than a dozen innocent attendants in a row because of his bad temper. He was so frightened that even the guards around him dared not approach him. The crazy tiger in the cage will eat anyone who comes close!

"Hey, Hulao Pass, Hulao Pass, is this place really against the old man's fate?" When Dong Zhuo was young, he asked a wizard in Xiliang for a fortune-telling calculation, and the result he got was "the evil tiger is coming, The world is in chaos! '

The Lord of Life kept killing and cutting, everywhere he went, corpses littered the fields, blood flowed like rivers, no one could stop him!But there is a catastrophe in the hit, which is the image of 'two tigers fighting for food', that is to say, there will be another tiger threatening him. Dong Zhuo once doubted, "Who is this tiger? Yuan Shao? Sun Jian? And Or that Cao Cao..."

Although the theory of fate is illusory, the current situation is really not good for him; the allied forces of the princes outside the pass are like a sharp sword hanging above their heads, which may fall at any time. He took all the Xiliang army to Hulao Pass. I thought it would be a quick battle, but I didn't expect that after a great battle, the adopted son Lu Bu was defeated and lost tens of thousands of horses. Now the morale of the army is low, and the Luoyang city behind is extremely empty. He knows the thoughts of the civil and military officials in the court very well. However, as long as the allied forces of the princes appear outside Luoyang City, they will immediately fight back, and when the time comes, they will be attacked by the enemy, but it will be very bad!

"Where do we go? Where do we go?" At this point, Dong Zhuo had no choice but to think about retreating!

"Is the grand master worried about the current situation?" When Dong Zhuo was restless, only counselor Li Ru dared to approach him, because he was the only one who knew Dong Zhuo's thoughts best.

"That's right! Now that I'm in a dilemma, I really don't know what to do!" Seeing that it was Li Ru, his chief adviser, Dong Zhuo's anxious heart calmed down a little, "Is there any good way to help this old man out of this predicament?"

"Now it's a difficult situation. The subordinates are not talented. If you have two strategies, please make your own choice!" Li Ru showed a confident look on his face. It was obvious that he had been thinking about the way to break the situation for a long time.

"Oh, there are two strategies, let's talk about it!"

"The best strategy is to burn all the stored food in the city, and send all the soldiers and horses out of the city to form a formation. The grand master will personally supervise the battle, reward the former bravely, kill those who take a step back, and fight to the death with the princes of the Kanto region!" Li Ru raised his hand. The saber in his hand signaled to Dong Zhuo that the critical moment had come. Instead of sitting here, he might as well go all out and fight!

"Break everything, fight to the death?" If it was Dong Zhuo who just arrived in Luoyang a year ago, he would definitely take this suggestion without hesitation. And the extravagant enjoyment has slowly worn away his fighting spirit. Those Xiliang iron cavalry under his command are now softened to the bone, and they no longer have the courage of the past. Otherwise, how could they be defeated in the battle of the past few days? What a tragedy, more than 3 elites, just surrendered...

If he had just arrived at Hulao Pass, he would have had a [-]% chance of winning with his vigor, but now that his adopted son Lu Bu has lost the battle, and the soldiers have lost their fighting spirit. Well, he, Dong Zhuo, can't afford to gamble, because now he is not that penniless Xiliang ranger, he is the grand master of the dynasty, he has great power, and he has countless beautiful wives. To put it bluntly, he is afraid of death... …

"Let's talk about the worst strategy?" Dong Zhuo's expression changed several times, and he finally gave up the best strategy. People are like this. When the poor have only one life left, they are not afraid of anything. Even if there is half a chance, they dare to risk their lives, but Once you become rich and honored, you will cherish your life so much that you are [-]% sure that you will not dare to try it.

"Hey! The lord's heroic ambition is gone!" Li Ru secretly sighed in his heart. He knew that Dong Zhuo was no longer as bold and fearless as before, and the tiger's minions had become dull. Heroic!

"The best strategy is for the grand master to immediately lead the troops back to Luoyang, and then kidnap the emperor and all civil and military officials, move the capital to Chang'an, and temporarily avoid the edge of the coalition forces!" Li Ru quickly adjusted his mentality. As a counselor, no matter what changes the lord has, He has to do his best to assist, this is the ethics of counselors in this era.

"Chang'an is close to Xiliang, which is the basic place for the grand master. It is extremely convenient to replenish food, grass, and soldiers. There is also the natural danger of Hangu Pass as a barrier. One man guards the pass, and ten thousand men cannot open it!...The coalition forces of the princes are mostly The Guandong soldiers and horses have a long journey westward, which can greatly lengthen their supply lines. Moreover, the princes have their own calculations, and they are unwilling to stay away from their bases for fear of being copied by others. Those who dare to go deep into the Guanzhong alone can keep our army safe!"

"Okay, wonderful strategy, wonderful!" Li Ru's words were speaking to Dong Zhuo's heart. Moving the little emperor to Chang'an would not only avoid the sharp edge of the allied forces of the princes, but Dong Zhuo could continue to be his grand master. It is really a good plan to kill two birds with one stone, the prosperity and wealth are not damaged at all, "However, the capital is the foundation of a country, and moving the capital is such a big event, is there anything to worry about?"

"Yes, if you want to move the capital to Chang'an, from the humble point of view, there are three things that must be done before you can succeed!"

"Oh, those three? Tell me!"

"First, let people create rumors in the army and Luoyang, and say, 'There is a Han in the west, a Han in the east, and the deer walks into Chang'an, so there will be no difficulties!' It's God's will!" Li Ru is very aware of the importance of public opinion, besides, the Han Dynasty has always had the tradition of governing the country with "picture prophecy", which was played by "Wang Mang usurping the Han" back then, and now it is just borrowed.

"Second, put more flags on the Hulao Gate, let the soldiers shout and practice every day, create the illusion that we have been adding troops to the coalition forces of the princes, so that they dare not act rashly, so as to buy enough time. The men and horses returned to Luoyang overnight, hijacked the emperor and all the officials, and forcibly announced the move of the capital, and anyone who dissatisfied will be killed!"

"Okay, these two strategies are very good, what's the third one?" Seeing that Li Ru suddenly fell silent after saying two strategies, Dong Zhuo first praised him, and then began to ask questions.

"Is this the third and most difficult item, and that is money!"

After hesitating for a while, Li Ru still said, "Moving the capital to Chang'an, re-building the palace requires money, relocating hundreds of officials and setting up a separate court requires money, the most important thing is to appease the morale of the army, so that Xiliang soldiers and horses can continue to follow the grand master. need money!"

Since ancient times, if you want to achieve great things, you have to pave the road with gold, and make walls with grain and grass. Without money, it is absolutely impossible, but the problem is that there is no money in Luoyang's treasury!

The national treasury is empty. Dong Zhuo cannot be blamed for this, because before they came to Luoyang, the national treasury was empty. Emperor Han Ling was a master who could spend money. Over the years, he built palaces, held beauty contests, and squandered the money saved by the Han Dynasty. After the new king's enthronement ceremony, Dong Zhuo frantically recruited troops, expanded his army and prepared for war. It was not like spending money like running water, but the state shepherds of the Han states had already withheld all the local taxes, and none of them were handed over to Luoyang. There was no tax. Source, now the empty state treasury can starve to death mice...

"Yes! It's hard to do things without money. If you don't have money, you can't gather troops!" Dong Zhuo understood that if he didn't have enough money and food, he might not be able to last long even if he stayed here, let alone moving the capital to Chang'an. With a 10,000+ army, the daily expenses are countless. , the soldiers risked their lives to follow him to fight the world, Dong Zhuo must feed these 10,000+ mouths, if the army is hungry enough, it will eat people!

Once the rebellious soldiers rise up to make trouble, even Dong Zhuo will be smashed to pieces. Since ancient times, there have been few mutinies due to arrears of food and wages?Thinking of this, Dong Zhuo couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, no matter what, he must avoid such a thing from happening, so he must get money, a lot of money, "Is there any good plan, but it doesn't matter, even if it is murder and arson, the old man will do it too!"

"Actually, it's not that Luoyang City doesn't have money, it's just that the money is hard to get out!" Li Ru hesitated now. He knew that once this strategy was implemented, no matter what the future success or failure would be, he would be infamous forever. There is no day to stand up.

"Where is the money?"

"underground!"

Gritting his molars, Li Ru uttered these two words with difficulty. Li Ru sat on the ground like a deflated ball, sweating profusely, unable to utter another word.

"Underground?" Dong Zhuo thought for a while, and suddenly understood that the twelve emperors of the Han Dynasty were buried outside Luoyang City, and countless gold and silver were buried in the emperor's mausoleum. Those twelve imperial tombs are twelve treasuries, and there are a large number of tombs around the imperial tombs where concubines and ministers are buried. If you can get these things out of the ground, you will get hundreds of millions of money, so there will be no worries about military expenses!

But digging other people's graves has been a taboo since ancient times, not to mention that the one to be dug is the emperor's tomb!

For ghosts and gods, the Chinese nation has a kind of respect, and they have always regarded death as life. No matter how poor the poor are, they will not cut off the blood, food and incense of their ancestors, unless they cut off their children and grandchildren!
