Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 427
Dong Zhuo's voice was very loud. As soon as his voice came out, everyone in the hall heard it, and all the generals became silent when they heard it. They looked around and looked at each other, but their expressions did not seem surprised.

The result of the Mu clan's army counterattacking Luoyang was what they expected.

After all, the Xiliang army's mutiny this time was equivalent to a stabbing in the back of the Mu family's army. They controlled Luoyang and finally killed his father. Now that Mu Longtu leads the army to kill him, that is also a normal thing.

"What fear do the soldiers and horses of the Mu Clan have?"

"When they come, we dare to fight!"

"The shepherd thief is already dead, just a child with a yellow mouth, not worthy of our fear!"

After a while, all the rebellious Xiliang generals spoke one after another.

The elite soldiers from Hedong have all been dispatched to Luoyang. The Xiliang Army's current strength is as many as [-] to [-], even if it is not [-].

"My lord, we should not fight head-on with the Mu Clan's army in this battle!"

Li Ru stood up suddenly, he took a step forward and said with cupped hands.

"why?"

Dong Zhuo raised his head slightly when he heard the words, looked at the confidant counselor, and asked in a deep voice.

He was very convinced of Li Ru's ability.

Especially this planning.

Li Ru planned this mutiny under Mu's eyes, and let him destroy Mushan in one fell swoop, and replace him as a powerful official of the Han Dynasty, who is under one person and above tens of thousands.

If Li Ru hadn't planned for him, he wouldn't be in his current position at all.

"My lord, in today's situation, fighting hard is not a good strategy for us. It's not that we can't defeat Mu Clan, but that we can't fight. Several soldiers of Mu Clan are in anger, and Mu Longtu has something to do with us. Father's revenge, he will definitely fight us at any cost, and fight us endlessly, even if we rely on Luo Yang as the line of defense, if we fight hand-to-hand, I'm afraid we will have to pay huge casualties!"

Li Ru said indifferently: "If it's just them Mu's soldiers and horses, it's not enough to cause trouble, but my lord, don't forget that behind them, there are also the Guandong Allied Forces. The Guandong Allied Forces are hundreds of thousands. Their strength is still there, if we have a bloody battle with the soldiers of the Mu Clan, I am afraid they will be the ones who will laugh the happiest!"

"Ben Xiangguo has forgotten this!"

Dong Zhuo's swollen mood these days has calmed down quite a bit now, he squinted his eyes, and his face showed a shrewd look: "Although the Kwantung Allied Forces seem to be overwhelmed by the Mu family, they still have strength. Whether it's Mushan or Benxiang Kingdom, I'm afraid they won't be able to catch their eyes, and if they can clear Guanzhong, I'm afraid they won't worry about our position!"

"That's right!"

"That's what the lord said!"

"This battle can't be reckless!"

"If the fishermen of the Kwantung Allied Forces benefit from it, wouldn't we be doing it for nothing!"

When the generals heard the words, they all looked at each other, expressing their agreement with Li Ru's statement.

"Wenyou, you are right, but Mulongtu is coming in menacingly, how should we deal with their overwhelming army?" Dong Zhuo raised his head, fixed his eyes on Li Ru's face, and asked gently.

"My lord, at this point, we have no choice but to give up on Luoyang!" Li Ru said in a deep voice.

This was a countermeasure he had already thought of.

The reason why he took the risk at the beginning was because he believed that the Xiliang army still had a way out, so he would spare no effort to take down the court, turn against the Mu clan, and plan to ambush Mushan.

This way is to give up Luoyang.

But he proposed to Dong Zhuo more than once, but Dong Zhuo has been slow to agree. If you agreed earlier, you are now ready to withdraw your troops. Perhaps in Dong Zhuo's heart, only Luoyang as the capital of the Han Dynasty can be justified. If you leave Luo Yang, he supported King Chen Liu, but the people of the world may not be convinced.

"But Luoyang is the imperial capital after all!"

When Dong Zhuo heard this, a wry smile rose from the corner of his mouth, still a little unwilling: "If we leave Luoyang, will the world still recognize the emperor we support?"

"My lord, it doesn't matter whether they recognize the emperor or not now!"

Li Rudao: "Since the death of Emperor Ling, the Han Dynasty has been troubled, the court has no name, and the name of the Son of Heaven is no longer enough to be recognized by the princes of the world. Although we leave Luoyang, although we have lost something, it is most in line with our current strategic deployment. The only way is to leave Luoyang." Luo Yang, we can get out of the battlefield!"

Luoyang is a battleground for military strategists.

Withdrawing from Luoyang at this time will not do any harm to the Xiliang army.

It took time for them to support King Chenliu as emperor.

In addition, if Luoyang is released, it will be occupied by the Mu's army. How can the Kwantung Allied Forces let the Mu's army go, and the Mu's will naturally become the target of public criticism.

"Give up the battlefield?"

Dong Zhuo muttered to himself, feeling something changed in his heart.

"My lord, although Luoyang is the capital of Han Dynasty, my lord, don't forget that this is only the capital established by Emperor Guangwu, and the former capital of the Han Dynasty was not Luoyang, but Chang'an!" Li Ru added a fire: "Move the capital to Chang'an!" , without losing orthodoxy, but it will allow us to win the space and time to accumulate strength. When we give up the land of Luoyang, they will definitely let them fight more than ever. In the land of the three assistants, if you regain the soldiers of Xiliang, you can break through the gate and go out, and you can sit on the world!"

This is a broad road that he paves the way for Dong Zhuo.

The Mu family is already on the verge of setting sun.

Mu Longtu is not a simple boy, but he is young after all. The death of Mu Shan has caused the unity of the Mu family to fall apart. As a young man, it is impossible for him to turn the tide. Even if he has more than a hundred thousand elite soldiers, Falling into a desperate situation, he must have become a public enemy of the world, and there is no chance of turning around. Whether he occupies Luoyang or breaks out, he will be besieged and killed.

Not enough!

As for the Kwantung princes?

It seems that they are the soldiers of the king, the army of justice, but how many people have hidden ambitions in their hearts. If Luoyang is not broken, they still have the idea of ​​loyalty to the court, but once Luoyang is broken, they will lose their thoughts, and there will be civil strife.

As long as they firmly control the land of Sansuke, and then step by step to clean up Xiliang and incorporate Guanzhong into the territory, great things can be accomplished.

"it is good!"

Although Dong Zhuo was not reconciled, he was not an indecisive person, he was very courageous, and he agreed without thinking for a long time: "Wen You, I will leave this matter to you to arrange, but I have two requests. First, Luoyang officials must go south with them. If there are no officials to rely on, the court will not be able to command the world. Second, although the third area is in Guanzhong, it is close to Xiliang and the population is sparse. We will send the people of Luoyang Go south!"

"Subordinates take orders!"

Li Ru nodded.

He also had this intention, how could he be reconciled if he didn't evacuate Luo Yang.

……

The next day.

There is a Tongyan on the street: "There is a Han in the west, and a Han in the east. The deer walks into Chang'an, and nothing is difficult!"

Li Ru's methods are very sharp. He has not been preparing for a day or two. He has been preparing for this plan since the beginning, so this child's rhetoric spread quickly, and countless children sang it, not only among the common people. It was also quickly spread among the civil and military officials of the imperial court.

"What's the meaning of this child's words?"

Countless ministers secretly discussed.

"There is a Han Dynasty in the west, in response to Gao Zu's prosperity in Chang'an, the western capital, and passed on the twelve emperors!"

"The first Han Dynasty in the east was born in Luoyang, the eastern capital of Ying Guangwu. Today, there are also twelve emperors!"

"Fortunately, entering the capital of the Han Dynasty, the only way to be safe is to move back to Chang'an!"

Someone in the court began to analyze it.

"Moving the capital to Chang'an?"

Countless surprises.

Moving the capital is a big event in the eyes of many people.

"Chang'an is the former imperial capital, so it's okay to move it!"

"My Great Han Dynasty, since the Yellow Turban chaos, there have been many disasters. Maybe the Luoyang dragon veins have lost the glory of our Han family. At this time, it is a good way for us to move the capital back to Luoyang!"

At this time, there are not a few officials who stand up and support.

Therefore, the memorandum that proposed to move the capital soon has already come up.

"Moving the capital to Chang'an?"

Wang Yun was surprised. He had been thinking about how to deal with the Mu clan's soldiers. He had expected the Xiliang army to fight for a while, but now he suddenly understood that the Xiliang army never thought of fighting the Mu clan's soldiers. , so the proposal to move the capital was put forward at this time.

Moving the capital to Chang'an seemed absurd, but he began to think about it.

Perhaps, this is a good proposal.

"Lord Situ, what do you think of the idea of ​​moving the capital?" Emperor Liu Xie was unwilling to be a puppet. He absolutely opposed the idea of ​​moving the capital. Once he moved to Luoyang, he might become a puppet for the rest of his life, but he knew very well , He has no right to speak at all.

"Your Majesty, there are more than [-] Mu Clan rebels, and now they have broken through the Sishui Pass and are approaching Luoyang. If we forcefully fight, Luoyang may be lost again!"

Wang Yun gathered his words, and then said: "For this matter, it is the best policy for us to move the capital to Chang'an. After the allied army of hunting bandits defeats the Mu clan's rebels, we can return to Luoyang."

"But..." Liu Xie was still unwilling.

"Your Majesty, my Han family has suffered too many catastrophes. I am afraid that Your Majesty will be safe. Your Majesty must not...show your edge!"

Wang Yun said suddenly.

"I understand!"

Liu Xie became dejected at the moment, he knew very well that Wang Yun was doing it for his own good, why did Liu Bian die because he was too smart, so smart that neither Mu Shan nor Dong Zhuo could control him, Dong Zhuo would strangle Mu Shan together Kill him, and then put the blame on Mushan.

If he didn't look a little clumsy, I'm afraid Dong Zhuo would not attack Mushan even if he did it. After all, a righteous emperor would be better at commanding the world than a dishonest emperor like him.

A nursery rhyme sparked a three-day discussion in the court.

The court discussion was very intense, with some opposing and some agreeing.

After maintaining the political discussion for three days, the emperor directly issued an imperial edict ordering the Han Dynasty to move the capital.

The matter of moving the capital was officially put on the agenda. The Xiliang Army had already made preparations, and Luoyang also started to move. From the civil and military officials to the small soldiers, no matter whether they were willing or not, they were all rejected. Taking hostage south...

……

……

At night, the moon is bright and clear, the starry sky is brilliant, and the moonlight pours down, reflecting on the surging Luoshui River.

Huangting Ferry.

This ferry is Luoshui Ferry, less than a day's journey from Luoyang City, and it is already close at hand.

On the south side of the ferry, on the plain, there is a company camp of the army, and the plain for more than ten miles is full of tents one after another.

The main account of the Chinese army.

Mu Jing was using a rag to wipe the Panlong lance in his hand. This horse lance was his weapon, and he didn't really like it very much. Maybe it was because he didn't like the battlefield, so he also rejected weapons.

But now, he knows very well that this will be his future reliance.

The trend is irreversible.

Chaos is unstoppable.

In a chaotic world, there is only war.

"Are you still free here?" Xi Zhicai opened the door curtain and walked in, looking at Mujing with bright eyes.

"what happened?"

Mu Jing put down the dishcloth in his hand, then handed the Panlong lance to Huo Shao, looked at Xi Zhicai, and said calmly.

His emotions have calmed down.

At this moment, he is not as manic as he was at Sishuiguan a few days ago, which stabilized the morale of many people in the army.

"Don't say you don't know about the Southern Army?" Xi Zhicai said angrily.

"Mother is going to get married, and it's going to rain, who can stop it!"

Mu Jing remained calm and indifferent.

These days, the news of Mu Shan's death has already spread, and the morale of the troops under the Mu Clan's command was shaken, and a feeling of despair and sorrow reverberated in the army, which naturally triggered a frenzy of deserters.

Among them, the southern army was the most serious.

The Southern Army was originally reorganized from the Nanyang Army, gathering the former imperial guards, and before the war, recruited tens of thousands of young and strong people from Guanzhong, occupying half of the Mu clan's troops.

If it is said that the battlefield continues to maintain the momentum of victory, there is no problem. With Huang Shao's power, he can command this army.

But Mu Shan died in the capital.

The Mu family's lord is dead, and the Mu family will be caught in the pincer attack of the Xiliang Army and the Kwantung Allied Forces. Under the influence of this kind of defeat, the Southern Army will naturally be the first to collapse.

In the past few days of the Southern Army, the number of deserters has reached as high as [-]%.

"Don't you care at all?" Xi Zhicai narrowed his eyes, looking at Mujing in front of him, he seemed to feel it was very strange, such Mujing had an indifference that made him shudder.

"Tell Huang Shao and Hu Zhao that there is no need to use harsh punishments to keep people. Since they can't keep their hearts, let them leave!" Mu Jing waved his hands, and instead of answering his question, he said directly.

"Do you know that emotions can be contagious. Once the emotions of the deserters from the Southern Army infect all the soldiers and horses, we will be in trouble. Where did the troops come to attack Luoyang?"

Play Zhicai.

"I have confidence in Jingping's army and Violent Bear's army. As for Baibo's army, I believe in Huang Hansheng's ability. If he can't hold on, it's useless to keep him!"

Mujing shrugged, and a sneer sneered at the corner of his mouth: "This is just the beginning, we haven't fallen into the final despair, and we can't keep people at this time, then if we reach a desperate situation and want to integrate the army and fight out , and no one will follow, and it will affect morale instead, so why should I keep them!"

"What about Luoyang, how can we attack Luoyang if we don't have enough troops?" Xi Zhicai asked again.

"Luo Yang can't fight, it's still unknown!"

Mu Jing shook his head, and suddenly shouted: "Huo Shao!"

"exist!"

"Pass in my military order. In view of the bad mood of the lieutenant officers and soldiers, camp on the spot for three days!" Mu Jing ordered.

"promise!"

Huo Shao took more than ten personal guards to each camp to deliver the military order.

"You never thought of fighting the Xiliang army, did you?"

Xi Zhicai suddenly understood that Mu Jing rested repeatedly to give enough time for the Xiliang army to leave Luoyang, he stared at Mu Jing's profile with vivid eyes: "Can you let go of the revenge of killing your father? "

"Can't let go!"

Mu Jing clenched his fists, took a deep breath, suppressed the burning flame in his heart forcefully, forced himself to calm down, and said coldly: "But I am not alone now, my father is dead, and no one will hold up the sky for me anymore. Allowing me to do whatever I want, to be unscrupulous, like a strike, I have pinned too much hope on you, the Violent Bear Army, Jingping Army, Baibo Army, and even some generals of the Southern Army, they all trust our Mu clan, and they belong to the Mu family. Under the door, I want them to live!"

He stood up, looked at the sky, and said faintly: "One person has too many burdens, and there is no choice. I, Mulongtu, can be sad, angry, or even desperate. I can die in battle for revenge, but I can't let them go." Funeral!"

(It’s always a little bit stuck, and I can’t hold back a chapter for a long time. I’m not satisfied. Although the plot is well thought out, this wonderful turning point has not been written well, so sad!)
