Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 121 Moving the Capital to Chang'an 1
Due to the fact that Lu Bu led the troops to break up, and the allied forces had been fighting hard for a whole day, the sergeants were exhausted.Yuan Shao didn't send anyone to continue the pursuit. Although Cao Cao repeatedly asked to march, Yuan Shao believed that his goal had been achieved and there was no need to waste his troops.

Furthermore, Cao Cao's actions had angered Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao believed that he was the leader of the allied army, and it was not Cao Cao's turn to direct what the allied army should do.

The weird retreat of the Xiliang army aroused Gongsun Xu's suspicion, but now it was getting dark, and it was impossible for Gongsun Xu to lead the army to continue the attack. For safety's sake, Gongsun Xu had to retreat back to the camp. He was going to go back and talk to his subordinates After discussing with others, they decide what to do next.

In the evening, the allied army camp naturally held a celebration banquet again.This was Yuan Shao's first real proof of repelling Dong Zhuo. Although the allied forces lost a lot of people, Yuan Shao didn't care. He had gained the capital to fight for fame. Now, all he had to do was to publicize it.

However, what is surprising is that not only Gongsun Xu did not attend the celebration banquet, but even Cao Cao made excuses to decline.Originally, Dong Zhuo was so eager to retreat today that Cao Cao felt suspicious. He thought that as long as he continued to attack, he would definitely be able to capture Hulao Pass, but Yuan Shao suppressed Cao Cao as the leader of the alliance, which made Cao Cao feel very uncomfortable.

And Gongsun Xu, at this moment, is holding a military meeting in the big tent. All the generals under Gongsun Xu are in the tent, and Jia Xu, the only military adviser, is also listening to Gongsun Xu's analysis in the tent at this moment.

Gongsun Xu sat on the main seat and looked at the crowd. He said slowly: "Today's battle, I feel very suspicious. Even if Dong Zhuo won, there is no need for him to retreat in such a hurry. The more I think about it, the more I feel wrong. Think about it, is there something going on here?"

Zhang Fei couldn't bear the impatience in his heart, and took the lead to speak: "Could it be that Bandit Dong saw that it was getting dark, and he wanted to go back to rectify the troops and horses, and prepare for another battle tomorrow."

The other generals nodded their heads. This might be true. After all, the soldiers on both sides were indeed tired after fighting so hard today. If the battle continued, it would not be of any benefit to the Xiliang Army. Therefore, it was reasonable for Dong Zhuo to retreat because of this.

Gongsun Xu shook his head, and then continued: "It's not that simple, Dong Zhuo is not the kind of reckless man you imagined, on the contrary, this person is also very good at intrigue, and with Li Ru by his side, I believe he is more suitable The reason for the retreat, what do you think? Mr. Wen He."

Jia Xu opened his eyes slightly at this time, and then slowly said: "If the Lord has an idea in his heart, why not tell it out for everyone to hear."

Gongsun Xu couldn't help laughing when he heard this, he vaguely guessed why Dong Zhuo retreated, but he was not sure now, so he called everyone to discuss, especially Jia Xu was here, he believed that Jia Xu would definitely give a reasonable answer.

However, Jia Xu's evasion like this shows that he also has an idea in his heart.Gongsun Xu was now more sure that his thoughts were correct.

"It seems that history has not changed." Gongsun Xu sighed inwardly.

"My lord, what is it?" Zhao Yun asked puzzled.

Gongsun Xu looked up at the crowd, then sighed and said, "I guess Dong Zhuo is going to run away."

"Run? Where are you going? Will you be in Luoyang?" Zhang Fei asked eagerly.

Gongsun Xu shook his head, then turned to Jia Xu and said, "Come and tell them where Dong Zhuo will go."

Jia Xu stood up and first bowed to Gongsun Xu, saying: "My lord is really clever, I just thought of it just now, but my lord has already come to a conclusion."

Then, Jia Xu turned his head and said to everyone: "If there are no accidents, Dong Zhuo may lead his army back to Luoyang in the next two days. He should be planning to give up Hulao Pass and Sishui Pass. Moreover, I suspect that Luoyang , Dong Zhuo should have been prepared long ago.

As long as Dong Zhuo's army returns to Luoyang, I am afraid that Luoyang will usher in an unprecedented disaster. "

Zhao Yun and the others were still puzzled after hearing this, and they still couldn't figure out the key point. Seeing the expressions of these generals, Jia Xu had no choice but to continue to explain: "The Kwantung coalition forces are pressing every step of the way, and Yuan Shao and Dong Zhuo are dead again. Qiu, if Dong Zhuo continues to fight Yuan Shao to the death, there will definitely be no benefit.

However, the Allied forces are not monolithic internally. It is only because of Dong Zhuo that the Allied forces can still be united externally for the time being.If Dong Zhuo is not there, or if someone on the Allied side has earned enough what he wants, I am afraid that the Allied army will be defeated by then, and Dong Zhuo will be able to preserve his strength. "

"Then, what does the military division mean?" Zhao Yun asked.

"Dong Zhuo should be planning to avoid the front for the time being, and then attack one by one." Jia Xu replied seriously: "So, Dong Zhuo is going to retreat, and it is still a big retreat."

Zhang Fei still felt confused after hearing this. Although he is very smart, he doesn't like playing charades with people like Jia Xu, especially when Jia Xu said halfway and refused to continue, Zhang Fei was even more anxious. , So Zhang Fei asked anxiously: "You guys, just tell me what Dong Zhuo wants to do?"

"Move the capital." Gongsun Xu and Jia Xu said at the same time.After finishing speaking, Gongsun Xu nodded to Jia Xu, signaling him to continue talking.

Jia Xu did not delay, so he continued: "Only by leaving Luoyang can Dong Zhuo avoid the allied forces, and among the allied forces, the princes will no longer pursue Dong Zhuo for their own benefit. , the Allied forces will definitely stop in Luoyang, and Dong Zhuo's danger will be gone."

All the generals nodded when they heard this. After Jia Xu's explanation, they finally figured it out.

"It seems that Dong Zhuo is really going to retreat." Zhang Fei sighed: "In other words, we have a chance to occupy Luoyang, that's just right, Luoyang is so rich, and the geographical location is so important, our army can just occupy the army in advance Luoyang, and then find a way to get in touch with Bingzhou and bring Luoyang into our scope."

Zhang Fei said happily alone, but Zhao Yun noticed that Gongsun Xu shook his head. Zhao Yun couldn't help opening his eyes wide after thinking about it carefully, and then said, "My lord, you said that Dong Zhuo retreated. Could it be that he can't do it anytime soon?"

Gongsun Xu nodded, and then said: "I guess, it's not just about moving the capital. The people of Luoyang, all the wealthy families, have to follow Dong Zhuo to leave. What we can get at that time is just an empty city, and Dong Zhuo just wants to use it." This empty city is holding us back."

"What?" Zhang Fei yelled, "The people of Luoyang are about to suffer, Dong Zhuo is so cruel."

"Dong Zhuo will not give the enemy the slightest chance. As long as he is willing to retreat, Yuan Shao will be satisfied." Gongsun Xu continued: "At that time, the entire Allied army will face the danger of disintegration, and Dong Zhuo can just sit on the mountain and watch. Fighting tigers. As for the people of Luoyang, they are indeed going to suffer."

Zhao Yun and others nodded their heads to express their understanding. If this is the case, then Dong Zhuo is really ruthless.

Gongsun Xu looked at the preoccupied faces of everyone, and he couldn't help laughing: "Why, why are you unhappy when you hear that Dong Zhuo is about to retreat?"

Zhao Yun and the others looked at each other, and then shook their heads. Seeing that no one was speaking, Zhao Yun had no choice but to stand up and say, "My lord, Dong Zhuo withdrew, and the allied forces were about to collapse, but the people of Luoyang might be in deep misery. We were originally fighting to save the people of the world, but we never thought that we would become accomplices in pushing the people into the sea of ​​suffering."

After speaking, everyone shook their heads, and Gongsun Xu laughed even louder after hearing this.

Seeing everyone's puzzled looks, Gongsun Xu laughed and scolded: "What? If Dong Zhuo really withdraws, do you think I will just sit and wait for death?"

"Huh?" Everyone turned their heads to look at Gongsun Xu, and they heard other meanings from Gongsun Xu's words.

Gongsun Xu didn't hide any more at the moment, but continued to say: "Early before sending troops, I ordered Huang Zhong and Yan Liang to mobilize their troops. Thinking about it, they should have gathered in Bingzhou. If Dong Zhuo withdraws by then, and Yuan Shao's side If it falls apart again, our Youzhou army will be able to fight Dong Zhuo with all our strength."

Everyone seemed to have heard some great news all of a sudden, and Zhang Fei couldn't help asking: "Then, what does my lord mean?"

"Actually, if Dong Zhuo doesn't withdraw his troops, I really don't know how to deal with him." Gongsun Xu said with a smile, "However, once he leaves Luoyang and coerces the people at the same time, we can just cut off his troops and Find a way to save the people of Luoyang.

However, Dong Zhuo will definitely not wait for death. If we want to seize food, we may have to fight hard. I am afraid that our relationship with other princes will be difficult to handle, especially Yuan Shao, who is now the leader of the alliance. "

Jia Xu laughed and said, "Your Majesty, I must have already made a fuss in my mind, why don't I let everyone listen to it, I can also refer to it later."

"Hahahaha, you old fox." Gongsun Xu scolded with a smile: "You should have done such brain-intensive things, but you are lucky to have pushed it directly on my head. It seems that I am too cruel to you." Forgive me."

Jia Xu didn't blush, her heart didn't beat, she continued to listen to Gongsun Xu, but Gongsun Xu had no choice but to explain: "I'm going to order Yan Liang and Huang Zhong to lead an army to ambush on the way of Dong Zhuoqian's withdrawal. Find a way to save the people of Luoyang. If they can, they might make a fortune.

As for us, we cannot leave Dong Zhuo's sight. We must continue to pursue Dong Zhuo. It is best for Dong Zhuo to think that we are under his control.Only in this way can Dong Zhuo be paralyzed.After Yan Liang and the others succeed, we can take the opportunity to attack Dong Zhuo's follow-up troops. "

After Zhao Yun and others heard this, they all knew that Gongsun Xu had already made a comprehensive plan, so they all knelt down and said, "Please tell me, my lord, the last general will go through fire and water, and I will not hesitate to do so."

Gongsun Xu looked at the faces of the crowd, and couldn't help laughing: "Okay, let's discuss the details together. Dong Zhuo is not a good person, and we have to make a good total. Dong Zhuo must bleed profusely."
