Chapter 329: Li Ru's advice on moving the capital

As for this failure, Lu Bu felt that it was not of no benefit to him. At least he had experienced a failure, and this was the best. In Lu Bu's opinion, no one would be undefeated, and he would naturally be no exception. Although he was indeed unwilling to accept this, the facts were facts, and this could no longer be changed.

Lu Bu continued to say to Zhao Cen: "Tomorrow, Bu will leave Sishui Pass and return to Luoyang. It will take Zhao's general to work hard here!"

When Zhao Cen heard this, he thought, "You are just coming and going back?" It turns out that you are fighting with a few generals of the other side, and then retreating! He was about to ask General Lu how to communicate with the lord, but then he thought that this matter was the matter of Lu Bu and Lu Fengxian and his lord, and it had nothing to do with him. He asked what he did. Anyway, since Lu Fengxian is going to return to Luoyang, he must have his own words, and he doesn't have to worry about those. It's just a pity that Hua Xiong's revenge is, and I don't know if there is still a chance to avenge him.

In fact, Lu Bu had no choice. Anyway, he had no desire to fight now. Moreover, he took a special look at his direct troops and soldiers of the Bingzhou Army. They were not much different from him, and his morale was sluggish. To say that his master was defeated, this would be a big blow to them. After seeing this, Lu Bu immediately made a decision and could no longer fight with the coalition forces of the princes at Sishui Pass. There were so many people under his lord, so he might not have to do anything. It is understandable that he was like this. After all, he had no intention of fighting, so why would he fight with others?

In fact, for the soldiers of Bingzhou soldiers under Lu Bu, the Sishui Pass and Luoyang have nothing to do with them. Their relatives are all in Bingzhou, but this is the place of Sili. Of course, there is nothing to do with them. The only ones that are really related to their lord generals, Lu Bu and Lu Fengxian, and those generals of the Bingzhou division. But now the main generals are defeated, and their morale is not much. In their eyes, their lord will not be defeated, but now they are really defeated. So who is still interested in fighting with the lords' coalition forces at Sishui Pass, and has no intention of that.

Zhao Cen didn't ask Lu Bu what the specific reason was. After all, although he was the garrison of Sishui Pass and Lu Bu was the reinforcements sent by his lord, he was still weak in front of him, Lu Bu and Lu Fengxian. Lu Fengxian was the strong. It was useless to ask whether he asked or not. Anyway, Lu Fengxian decided to let him go.

"General Lu, please rest assured that Cen will definitely guard Sishui Pass to the death and prevent the coalition forces of the princes from stepping into this Sishui Pass!"

Zhao Cen said firmly, while Lu Bu nodded slightly. His attitude towards Zhao Cen can be said to be very satisfied with Zhao Cen. He also knew some of Zhao Cen's deeds. He could go from a small soldier to a guard at the pass today. It can be said that if he had no real ability, his lord would not trust him and let him guard such an important Sishui Pass. Although Lu Bu may not be polite with others in normal times, he was still pretty good to Zhao Cen.

On this day, after the battle between the princes and Lu Bu, there was no more action. On the second day, Lu Bu brought Bingzhou Army back to Luoyang. Zhao Cen thought to himself that reinforcements came, but he went back after staying for a day. This was not much different from not coming. However, Lu Fengxian fought against the four generals of the princes and coalition forces. He was deeply impressed by this himself.

Lu Bu led his troops back to Luoyang. After seeing Dong Zhuo, he hurriedly apologized: "Bu brought troops back to Luoyang privately, and ask the lord to punish him!"

Originally, when Dong Zhuo saw that Lu Bu was back so soon, he didn't think that Lu Bu could destroy the coalition forces of the princes in one day, and he was not like this. He thought that the Sishui Pass was lost, but he was shocked. If the Sishui Pass was lost, it would not be a trivial matter, but a huge matter. Fortunately, it was not the case. Dong Zhuo's heart was finally relieved. However, when Lu Bu said that he would lead troops back to Luoyang privately, he was very dissatisfied with Lu Bu. He dared to lead troops back to Luoyang privately. Who gave you the power of Lu Fengxian? This is not too unfair to take his lord seriously.

"Fengxian, what's the matter?"

Even if he is dissatisfied, Dong Zhuo, as the lord, still has to ask first what special circumstances are there? Lu Bu is like this.

As a result, Lu Bu did not hide it and told Dong Zhuo everything that happened. When Dong Zhuo heard it, his brows frowned and could not stretch.

Can he not frown? Now even Lu Bu, who is known as the "No. 1 in the world", has been defeated. In other words, whoever he sends to fight the generals may fail in the end. So if the generals fail, then there will be only the fighting soldiers. It is hard to say when Zhao Cen can defend the coalition forces of the princes at the Sishui Pass. It is not that Dong Zhuo has no confidence in Zhao Cen, but that he has more concerns about the coalition forces of the princes. After all, even the flying general Lu Bu has been defeated, so there will definitely be no shortage of wise men in the coalition forces of the princes. If such a person takes action, Zhao Cen is definitely not his opponent.

Dong Zhuo weighed more than 300 pounds. At this time, he stood up with his hands on the table and walked for two steps. He thought to himself that the proposal of those people yesterday should be time to think carefully about it. At this moment, he suddenly realized that he seemed to have disgusted with the wars that had been fought, but he just wanted to settle down and continue to enjoy all the things he has now.

In fact, someone had already written a letter yesterday to propose moving the capital. Although several of them were his confidants, Dong Zhuo ignored anything. But when Lu Bu came back today, he was really moved by what Lu Bu said. Perhaps moving the capital to Chang'an was the best solution now. Dong Zhuo thought it was actually very simple. Didn't the coalition of princes come to attack him? Then he would let them attack him. If he was defeated and retreated to Chang'an, their goal was achieved, and they would eventually occupy Luoyang. At that time, they would probably not advance again, and they would stay in Chang'an and continue to enjoy themselves. This was really the best of both worlds, so why not do it?

When Dong Zhuo thought of this, he didn't care how to punish Lu Bu severely. He only heard him say, "Bongxian privately brought his troops back to Beijing this time. Although it was a reason and it was understandable. However, he violated the military order and was fined for half a year. After returning to the house for three days, he would not be the case!"

"Thank you, lord!"

Dong Zhuo nodded, "But at this time, you have to summon the generals first and let them come here to discuss matters together! After the discussion, you can go behind closed doors and think about your mistakes!"

"promise!"

Lu Bu took the order and left. Today, his lord didn't punish him much, so this was the best result. The lord was anxious to summon the generals to discuss matters, and it seemed that it was still the matter of Sishui Pass.

After a while, everyone arrived. Dong Zhuo said, "Everyone, please come today because you want to discuss the relocation of the capital!"

When everyone heard this, they moved the capital? They could only move from Luoyang to Chang'an. A few people thought it was OK. If they moved, they would no longer have to fight with the coalition forces of the princes.

When Li Ru heard this, he frowned and thought to move the capital. Who had the idea? He could have thought of it? He had just fought a few battles with the princes and was about to move the capital? Back then, the Yellow Turban rebels were rampant, gathering millions of people, and the world was full of wars, and Liu Hong did not move the capital. But why did the hundreds of thousands of princes and coalition forces scare some people like this today? Humph, it was just for his own interests.

In his opinion, although hundreds of thousands of coalition forces of the princes were preparing for war under the Sishui Pass, they looked very loud, but Li Ru did not think they were powerful. Because he had actually had a way to deal with it, but his lord didn't ask him much. The key was that even if he said it, his lord couldn't listen. And today he was going to move the capital, and he had no choice.

Li Ru has always thought it very clearly. He is a wise man. The banner of the lords' coalition forces is to deal with their lords and to clear the king. Indeed, on the surface, the eighteen princes all came for the Han Dynasty for the sake of justice, but there are still only a few people who really do it for the sake of the Han Dynasty, and more of them come for their own interests.

Then this is not difficult, because as long as they can give them enough benefits, they will naturally withdraw their troops. This is simple. So as long as they compromise with them, it is actually OK. Now his lord is going to move the capital, which is to give Luoyang out and give it to the coalition forces of the princes. This is a kind of compromise, because they gave the interests to them. But Li Ru felt that this was not what he should do the most. In fact, he had a better way to deal with the coalition forces of the princes.

That is, increase troops to Sishui Pass and strictly guard Sishui Pass. Now the coalition of princes is all in Sishui Pass because it is a must-pass place for entering Luoyang east and the gateway to Luoyang. Although Luoyang is not only a pass like Sishui Pass, it has to be said that the most important one is this Sishui Pass. Li Ru did not expect Sishui Pass to be broken, but just delayed the coalition of princes.

If they were at the time when their troops were at Luoyang City, Li Ru would not think that they would dare to attack Luoyang City directly. At that time, as long as the young emperor Liu Xie was placed on the top of the city and asked him to tell the princes to withdraw their troops, Li Ru would not believe that they would not withdraw their troops. The main reason was the interests. Li Ru believed that as long as they were given enough benefits, and then with Liu Xie's order, all the princes should withdraw their troops. Then this would basically be solved, but now his lord was actually moving the capital to Chang'an and giving up Luoyang, which Li Ru really couldn't understand.

If Luoyang is given up, the side will lose a lot. Originally, Sili was already the sphere of influence of his lord in this year, but now all the princes have invaded and entered Sili. Now that Luoyang is given to them, the lord's sphere of influence will only be the few places in Chang'an. Although not all the 400,000 people on his side are in Luoyang, Luoyang still has more than 100,000 people. Even if he really fights with the lords' coalition forces, can he say that he is still afraid of his lords' coalition forces?

In fact, it is the same thing that Li Ru felt that his lord had changed and had become too many. If it were the past, his lord would have personally led his troops to Sishui Pass, and he could not think about it. But now, alas...
