Cao Cao and Lin Yuan sat holding candles. After hearing Cao Cao's words, Lin Yuan smiled lightly and said:

"The lord has been wary of Yuan Shao since the alliance was formed, right?"

"The military advisor was right, the coalition of princes had their own agendas."

Hearing Lin Yuan's words, Cao Cao's face lost its seriousness.

"My lord returns tonight with a great victory. I know that there is a gap in the coalition forces of the princes."

"It is inevitable that Yuan Shao and his lord will be in tit-for-tat, but Yuan Shao still hates his lord before he captures Luoyang."

"I will also pay attention to some methods. After all, everyone in the world is also watching this battle."

"Whether it was for his own reputation or the reputation of the Yuan family, Yuan Shao"

"Before the conquest of Dong Zhuo is over, he will not attack his allies."

Lin Yuan looked at Cao Cao and said with a smile.

He also knew something about Yuan Shao. This man values ​​reputation most.

This time, every move he makes when he becomes the leader of the alliance will be noticed by the world.

The battle tonight will soon spread throughout the world. In other cities, Yuan Shao has been defeated, causing dissatisfaction among the people of the world.

If he targets other princes, he will definitely be ridiculed by the people of the world. There is another person who is also the reason for Yuan Shao's fear, and that is Yuan Shu.

As a descendant of the Yuan family, Yuan Shu is still the legitimate son.

If Yuan Shao's reputation hadn't overtaken Yuan Shu's, Yuan Shu would have been the leader of the alliance at this time.

Once Yuan Shao had a problem, the Yuan family would have given full support to Yuan Shu.

Today, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are facing each other tit for tat, and Yuan Shu must be very happy.

Yuan Shu wishes that Yuan Shao would turn against Cao Cao. Take action, then he will have a chance to take over

"Meng De kept the military advisor's words in mind."

"Lu Bu's army has been defeated miserably. What do the military advisors think Dong Zhuo will do next?"

Cao Cao opened the map, pointed at the location of Hulao Pass and said

"The Lord thinks, can Dong Zhuo still hold Hulao Pass? Lin

Yuan did not answer Cao Cao's question, but instead asked Cao Cao whether Hulao Pass could be defended.

After hearing Lin Yuan's words, Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment and said:

"Although the coalition of princes was defeated by Lu Bu and suffered heavy losses, Lu Bu was attacked by Cao's army and suffered heavy losses."

"Lu Bu fled back to Hulao Pass with only a few thousand troops. At this time, the number of soldiers in Hulao Pass was greatly reduced."

"Although the soldiers of the coalition of princes suffered casualties, their overall number was still greater than that of Dong Zhuo's Xiliang army."

"Cao thought that Hulao Pass would definitely not be able to stop the cavalry of the coalition of princes."

Hearing Cao Cao's words, Lin Yuan nodded slightly.

Cao Cao was not dazzled by the victory, and his analysis of the problem was still to the point.

"The Lord is right, Li Ru originally wanted to use a trick to recapture Sishui Pass"

"It's a pity that he fell into the trap below, and the Xiliang army suffered a lot of casualties."

"Next, it will be very difficult for Hulao Pass to resist the coalition of princes."

"Li Ru would also have thought that Hulao Pass could not stop the coalition's cavalry."

Cao Cao heard Lin Yuan mention Li Ru and said:

"What kind of strategy did the military advisor think Li Ru would propose to Dong Zhuo?"

Lin Yuan fully unfolded the map and looked at the map marked on it.

"Since Hulao Pass cannot be defended, Luoyang will also be exposed to the princes."

"Once the princes enter Luoyang, Dong Zhuo's stranger will come"

"Li Ru would definitely suggest Dong Zhuo to move the capital!"

Lin Yuan said with a solemn look on his face. Luoyang is the ancient capital and the place where the emperor is.

Since Luoyang cannot be defended, the best way is to move the capital.

Hearing Lin Yuan's words, Cao Cao's eyes widened.

"Move the capital?"

He couldn't believe that Dong Zhuo dared to do this. He never thought that Dong Zhuo would choose to move the capital!

"Military advisor, will Dong Zhuo really take Li Ru's suggestion and move the capital with the emperor?"

There was a hint of hoarseness in Cao Cao's voice. He once also visited the Emperor in Luoyang Palace.

Now Dong Zhuo may have moved the capital with the Emperor. He couldn't believe it in his heart.

Once this matter spreads, it will shock the world.

"I know that it is difficult for my lord to accept this, but now Dong Zhuo can only guarantee his life by moving the capital."

Lin Yuan said with a wry smile on his face. Dong Zhuo would not care about the importance of Luoyang for the sake of his own life. He would definitely take Li Ru's suggestion and move the capital.

Cao Cao sat down for a while and looked at Lin Yuan:

"Since Dong Zhuo wants to move his capital, which city does the military advisor think Dong Zhuo will choose?"

He completely believed Lin Yuan's words. Since Lin Yuan said that Dong Zhuo would move the capital, he would definitely move the capital.

He just couldn't accept it for a while. Now that he knew about the capital move, he also needed to know which city Dong Zhuo would choose.

"Chang'an!"

Lin Yuan looked at the map in front of him and pointed at the location of Chang'an.

"Chang'an?"

Cao Cao saw Lin Yuan pointing to Chang'an on the map with a hint of surprise on his face.

Although Chang'an is also a large city, its prosperity is far from Luoyang.

He considered several cities Dong Zhuo chose to move the capital, but he did not expect Dong Zhuo to choose Chang'an

"Military Advisor, why did Dong Zhuo choose to move the capital to Chang'an?"

"The prosperity of Chang'an cannot be compared with Luoyang!"

Cao Cao looked at Lin Yuan and asked the question in his heart.

Since Lin Yuan said that Dong Zhuo would choose Chang'an, he believed that Dong Zhuo would choose Chang'an, but he wanted to know the meaning of choosing Chang'an now.

Lin Yuan smiled after hearing what Cao Cao said Laughed and said:

"If it were Dong Zhuo, he would definitely not choose Chang'an"

"After enjoying the prosperous Luoyang for so long, now go to the less prosperous city of Chang'an"

"Dong Zhuo must have been very resistant in his heart, but he had counselor Li Ru by his side."

"Li Ru will definitely let Dong Zhuo go to Chang'an. Li Ru knows that Chang'an is the most suitable place for Dong Zhuo."

"When Dong Zhuo did not come to Luoyang with the Xiliang army, he was an official in Liangzhou."

"It can also be said that Liangzhou is Dong Zhuo's hometown. Chang'an and Liangzhou are not very far apart."

"After Dong Zhuo moved his capital to Chang'an, it became easier to recruit troops and horses in Liangzhou."

Cao Cao nodded slightly when he heard Lin Yuan's words.

Liangzhou is Dong Zhuo's hometown. Chang'an is not far from Liangzhou, so it makes sense for Dong Zhuo to choose Chang'an.

Lin Yuan looked at Cao Cao and continued:

"Luoyang is connected in all directions, with only Hulao Pass as its base."

"If Hulao Pass is lost, Luoyang will be undefeated."

"This is also the reason why Dong Zhuo moved the capital. Since he wanted to move the capital, Dong Zhuo would definitely not choose Luoyang again."

"Of the cities that are surrounded on all sides, he will choose a city that is surrounded by barriers that are easy to defend and difficult to attack."

"Chang'an is the best choice to move the capital. Chang'an is surrounded by Tongguan and other passes."

"Even if the princes want to conquer Chang'an, it will be difficult to accomplish it."

"Li Ru also knew this, so he would choose to let Dong Zhuo move the capital to Chang'an."

Cao Cao had a look of admiration on his face when he heard Lin Yuan's words. He very much agreed with what Lin Yuan had just said.

Chang'an is indeed the best city to move the capital to, and Dong Zhuo will definitely choose to move the capital to Chang'an.

"Military advisor, do you want to tell the other princes about Dong Zhuo's move of the capital?"

Cao Cao looked at Lin Yuan and said.

Now that he knew that Dong Zhuo would move the capital to Luoyang, he was wondering whether to tell other princes about it.

"hehe! Lin

Yuan shook his head helplessly:

"The Lord is on the city wall today and tells other princes that Lu Bu has an ambush outside Sishui Pass. The princes didn’t believe it either!"

"Moving the capital is a big deal. Even if the lord and other princes explain it, these princes will not believe it."

"Yuan Shao originally hated his lord, and would even use the excuse of moving the capital to spread the word that his lord cursed the emperor and the Han Dynasty."

Hearing Lin Yuan's words, Cao Cao gave up the idea of ​​telling the other princes.

The impact of moving the capital was indeed very great, and few people could do such a thing.

Only a cruel man like Dong Zhuo and a poisonous man like Li Ru could do it. Dare to make the decision to move the capital

"Lu Bu has been defeated, Hulao Pass is in danger"

"As I expected, Dong Zhuo has returned to Luoyang overnight with Li Ru and others." (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"Prepare to move the capital to Chang'an before the princes break Hulao Pass."

Lin Yuan looked in the direction of Hulao Pass with a hint of sigh in his voice.

Although Cao Cao has become stronger with his assistance, he can still only watch many things.

Dong Zhuo will not leave Luoyang so easily. He would not leave the prosperous city of Luoyang to the princes.

He would definitely send people to destroy Luoyang and burn the palace with fire.

Even if Lin Yuan knew this, he could not stop him and told the other princes.

Not only would the other princes not believe it, Yuan Shao would even give He accused a big man of cursing

"It seems that this expedition against Dong Zhuo failed to save the emperor in the end."

There was a hint of emotion in Cao Cao's voice. Although he had some ideas, he was still a Han official. Otherwise, how could he have accomplished the feat of assassinating Dong Zhuo?

"Don't worry, my lord, all the princes have their own cities and forces."

"Once all the strength of the great man is exhausted, the world will soon be in chaos."

"What the lord has to do is to improve his strength"

"Otherwise, it will only be wiped out by other princes in the end and become a thing of the past."

Lin Yuan looked at Cao Cao and saidcomfort.

The two battles at Hulao Pass quickly spread to other cities.

Both the princes and the people in the city were shocked to hear the news.

Yingchuan County! A relatively large pub.

The tavern was almost full of guests, most of whom were scholars.[]

At this time, these scholars were holding a bamboo slip in their hands, with excitement on their faces.

"Have you heard that the eighteen princes conquered Dong Zhuo, and the Xiliang army under Dong Zhuo lost many troops?"

"The eighteen princes are attacking the treacherous minister Dong Zhuo, and his death is not far away."

Two scholars, drinking wine and talking loudly.

Eighteen princes are attacking Dong Zhuo, and everyone in the city knows the news.

Everyone is paying attention to this war, and they scholars are also paying attention to this war.

"That's not what you said. I heard that the eighteen princes were ambushed by Dong Zhuo's adopted son Lu Bu outside Sishui Pass."

"The allied forces of the princes were defeated steadily by Lu Bu, and several princes died on the spot."

A scholar holding a folding fan watched the two men tell the news he had heard. When the people around him heard the scholar's words, they had a look of surprise on their faces.

They did not expect that the eighteen princes were defeated by Lu Bu and died in battle. Several princes were killed.

Is Dong Zhuo really so powerful? Even the eighteen princes could not do anything to him.

The atmosphere in the tavern instantly became depressed, and some scholars drank in silence with gloomy expressions.

The scholar holding a folding fan in his hand looked at the other scholars, Continued:

"There is a reason why the eighteen princes were defeated by Lu Bu!"

After the scholar finished speaking, everyone else's eyes turned to him.

"Please tell me why the eighteen princes were defeated!"

"Could it be that a spy appeared among the eighteen princes?"

"Perhaps Dong Zhuo bribed some princes to be so defeated!"

Several scholars around were discussing and expressing their thoughts.

The scholar holding a folding fan looked at him when he saw it.

With a smile on his face, he said:"This great defeat of the Eighteenth Route Princes was all because of the leader Yuan Shao."

"Yuan Shao followed the advice of his counselors and led the princes out of the city to ambush Lu Bu."

"Unexpectedly, Lu Bu had already ambushed outside Sishui Pass. Yuan Shao and other princes fell into Lu Bu's trap after leading their army out of the city."

"This time the eighteen princes were defeated, and the leader Yuan Shao must bear the responsibility."

The scholar's words fell, and there was a hint of surprise on the faces of the people around him.

Yuan Shao is the leader of the eighteen princes, and they know it.

They also feel that Yuan Shao deserves to be the leader of the alliance. After all, he is followed by the Yuan family of the fourth generation and the third prince.

Again In addition, Yuan Shao himself also has a resounding reputation, and several of them are thinking of joining Yuan Shao.

Unexpectedly, they heard such news now. The coalition was defeated because of Yuan Shao.

"This dear friend, the fourth and third prince of Yuan Shao, is even more famous."

"I don’t know if what my dear friend said is true."

A scholar came to the scholar who just spoke, with a trace of ugliness on his face.

"I have an elder who served as a lieutenant under a prince, and he personally experienced this battle."

"What is said below is completely true."

As soon as the scholar with the folding fan finished speaking, the expressions of the people around him changed drastically.

I didn't expect that the battle situation would be like this. Dong Zhuo, the traitor, actually defeated the eighteen princes.

"I just heard a few days ago that Sishui Pass was captured by the coalition forces and won a great victory. I didn't expect that the coalition forces of the princes were defeated by Dong Zhuo in just a few days."

"The thief Dong Zhuo has brought chaos to the government, should we just watch this thief continue to be rampant?"

"Yuan Shao had an empty reputation, but he was defeated by Dong Zhuo despite gathering seventeen princes."

"It seems that the reputations of the Four Generations and Three Dukes are not necessarily all capable people."

There was a trace of anger on the faces of several scholars, and they denounced Yuan Shao, who caused the defeat of the coalition forces. The eighteen princes attacked Dong Zhuo, and they were very excited.

They thought they could see Dong Zhuo being overthrown by the princes, and the great man had recovered.

Now The allied forces of the princes were defeated, and in their opinion the Han Dynasty was in danger. In a relatively remote location of the tavern, there was a middle-aged man sitting there drinking alone.

He did not talk to other scholars in the tavern, and he heard everything those scholars said just now.

At this time, the corners of the middle-aged man's mouth slightly raised. This person was Xun Yu, Xun Wenruo, a layman in Yingchuan. Before Dong Zhuo did not control the government, he was also an official.

Later, Dong Zhuo led his troops into Luoyang and after taking control of the government, Xun Yu resigned and returned. He arrived in Yingchuan and lived in seclusion here.

Some time ago, Xun Yu was very excited when he heard that the eighteen princes were conquering Dong Zhuo.

He originally wanted to take refuge under a prince and do his part to conquer Dong Zhuo.

I know. After the leader of the alliance of princes was Yuan Shao, he originally planned to join Yuan Shao.

After all, Yuan Shao was the fourth and third prince, and his reputation was even better known.

Xun Yu thought that under Yuan Shao's command, he would be able to fulfill his ambitions. He just heard what the scholar said, he He knew that Yuan Shao was not very useful.

Even the eighteen princes with him could not defeat Dong Zhuo. He did not bother to assist such princes.

"You don’t need to be disappointed, here is another good news!"

Xun Yu drank a glass of wine, and the voice of the folding fan scholar came to his ears again.

Everyone looked at the scholar, with a smile on his face:

"Everyone, although the coalition of princes was defeated by Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo's army also suffered heavy losses."
