Chapter 638 The Change of Luoyang

As the sky brightened, the Battle of Hulao Pass had come to an end. Although the Battle of Hulao Pass had some twists and turns in the process, it was finally defeated by the Dong coalition army according to the historical trajectory.

After Yuan Shao won the Hulao Pass, he was about to immediately raise an army to attack Luoyang, and caught Dong Zhuo off guard. He was not worried that Dong Zhuo would hurt the emperor. After all, the emperor is the last trump card in his hand. If this trump card is lost, Dong Zhuo would have no chance of survival when facing the Dong coalition forces.

However, at the moment when Hulao Pass was captured, most of the other princes were worried about gains and losses. They did not want to lose their power just like this, so they needed to rest in Hulao Pass for a day on the grounds that the fierce battle had been long and the army could not rest.

Indeed, what they said was not wrong. The army began to attack the city crazily until the early morning, and they did not get a rest. Their request for a day of rest was not too much. Yuan Shao had no choice. He also knew that if the entire army had not been dispatched, with the remaining tired soldiers, he would have rushed to Luoyang City, but he would have gone to fight the dog without returning. Even if there were other princes to help him, he would not be able to do anything to Dong Zhuo. Therefore, he had to stay in Hulao Pass. As for whether he would wait until the next morning to set off, only he himself would know.

...

After Dong Zhuo learned that Sishui Pass had been broken, he immediately summoned all the ministers to discuss matters under the name of the emperor. In fact, it was just announcing his decision, and this decision was to move the capital to Chang'an.

After Dong Zhuo expressed his thoughts, the little emperor sitting on the dragon throne did not react at all. In fact, this is exactly what he is smart. Knowing that even if he reacts, he will not have any effect except to arouse Dong Zhuo's resentment, so it is better to continue to pretend to be stupid.

But the ministers below didn't think so. Most of them did not agree with Dong Zhuo's move to the capital. Some did think about the country and the country, while others were because their families were all in Luoyang. The journey to Chang'an was long. If they moved the capital, there would inevitably be changes on the way, and no one could tell what fate they would be.

Among them, the most opposed ones were Situ Yang Biao and Taiwei Huang Wan. Both of them believed that the movement of the capital was more powerful than the great Han Dynasty, which shocked the people. The Han Dynasty would not be long before that time.

However, how could Dong Zhuo's idea change just by a few words from others? If this were the case, he would not have established a new emperor and stayed in the harem overnight. Therefore, he immediately scolded the two, removed their official positions, and drove them out of the palace gate.

The rest of the court's ministers were all very ardent. They knew that they were useless to say too much at this time, so they kept silent. This matter was settled. In order to prevent these officials from going out to incite trouble, Dong Zhuo prohibited them from leaving the palace, and asked Lu Bu to send people to bring all the families of these officials to the army, and took good care of them and moved to Chang'an together. Although this practice seemed to be to protect these families, were there any fools in the hall? Naturally, he knew that Dong Zhuo was threatening. Although he hated Dong Zhuo in his heart, he did not dare to show any dissatisfaction.

After Dong Zhuo issued a series of orders, the entire Luoyang City was in chaos, and all the people were driven out of their homes, and the food in their homes was looted by the army, saying that for the convenience of migration, all the materials were managed and distributed uniformly. But once this thing was in the hands of the other party, would it be distributed again? Who knows?

What's more, some soldiers in the army extended their magic grabs to those women who were powerless. When they resisted, they immediately attacked each other and killed them on the spot. Such bloody and violent behavior immediately filled the entire Luoyang City with a strong desolate atmosphere. Although there were hundreds of millions of people in Luoyang City, they had no ability to resist in front of the army with huge strength. After encountering bloody suppression, they began to follow the commands of the army and began to surge out of the city like countless ants. On the streets, crying sounds shook the sky, sobbing sounds constantly, and a bleak cloud.

For a whole day, hundreds of millions of people in Luoyang City walked out of the eight huge gates of Luoyang City and moved to the west. Under the escort of the army, although the team was huge, the speed was not slow. As long as the people who were left behind appeared, they would be killed immediately by the soldiers. This was an order issued by Dong Zhuo, and he did not want to put himself in danger for these people. The reason why he wanted to take all the people in Luoyang City was just to create a Chang'an City for himself that would allow him to continue to enjoy himself. Otherwise, with the current situation where Chang'an City was almost like a ruin, Dong Zhuo would not agree to move the capital to Chang'an.

Dong Zhuo did not walk in the front of the team, but was under the escort of Lu Bu's army and walked behind the team. As for other supplies and treasures plundered from Luoyang City, they were escorted by a special army, immediately following Lu Bu's army.

Until the early morning of the next day, the last army walked out of Luoyang City. They set fire at each city gate according to Dong Zhuo's instructions. Most of the buildings in the city were made of wood, and the fire immediately became out of control. These troops who set fire turned around and followed the large army as soon as possible.

...

At this time, Sun Jian was leading the army out of Sishui Pass and heading straight for Luoyang City.

"Lord, my subordinates just received news from a general lurking in Dong Zhuo's army that he was ordered to escort the treasures by Dong Zhuo. This general has a special ability, that is, he can infer the quality of the items through sensing. According to him, he sensed that there was a treasure with great luck in the baggage box that he was elegant, which must be extraordinary. From the perspective of my subordinates, although there are many treasures in this palace, there are not many treasures with great luck. It is very likely that there is something symbolizing imperial power in it." Cheng Pu, the general under Sun Jian, appeared beside Sun Jian and said to him.

When Sun Jian heard this, his face looked shocked. This was a great opportunity! No matter what this treasure was, just talking about the great luck it carries was evident. If he could get this treasure, then...

When Sun Jian thought of this, his heart immediately beat faster and immediately said to Cheng Pu: "Immediately send an order to the general, find a way to take out this thing, and then leave the army, find a place to hide, and find an opportunity to meet us."
