Chapter 304 (1/2)

Dong Zhuo sat motionless on the ground, his expression suddenly aged a lot.

His lips trembled, and Dong Zhuo suddenly said, ”Wenyou, have we done something wrong to support our troops to Beijing?”

Li Ru sighed at Dong Zhuo's loss of confidence, but did not show it.

”What did the prime minister say? In the past, King Wen was imprisoned in Chaoge City, and his life and death depended on his jailer's hand. Later, the Zhou tribe established his country for 800 years through Muye war. Gaozu was granted Nanzheng by King Xiang, and Zhang Han and other people were the three kings of Qin. In the end, King Xiang committed suicide in Wujiang. How can the prime minister belittle himself

Li Ru solemnly said: ”although our army has failed in succession, at least there are still a large army of 100000 people sitting in Bingzhou. They can retreat temporarily and plan it slowly.”

Dong Zhuo finally had some spirit: ”Oh?”

Dong min and Xu Rong died one after another, and fan Hou was in a hurry. Liu Ye and Yuan Shu joined forces to March eastward with 100000 troops. It was said that Yuan Shao in Hanoi was also ready to move. Dong Zhuo was exhausted physically and mentally, and did not know what to do.

Li Ru said: ”our army occupied Binzhou before, but if we withdraw from Luoyang, we will get nothing at most. Besides, the emperor is still in our army's hands. Liu Ye and Yuan Shu are traitors. Can't we worry about the safety of the emperor?”

Quit Luoyang?

Dong zhuopo was a little reluctant. It happened that he Jin was against the ten constant attendants. He seized the opportunity to enter Luoyang, but now he has to retire in disgrace.

Li Ru also advised: ”prime minister, before our army leaves, we can move the people in the city to Bingzhou, blackmail the rich and powerful people in the city, excavate the imperial mausoleum and enrich the military posture. Nowadays, all the heroes in the world are together. Our army is sitting in Bingzhou and watching the battles among the heroes in the world and waiting for the opportunity to send troops. Even if we can't achieve the imperial career, it will not be a problem for us to be a king.”

After some meditation, Dong Zhuo nodded.

”Good! Lv Bu was ordered to return to Hulao pass to prevent Yuan Shao from going south. Fan Hou insisted on Guarding Hangu pass, and he could not attack easily. If he kept Hangu pass, there would be many awards. ”

”Let Li and Guo Si lead the bear army to plunder the rich and powerful families in the city, order Zhang Ji to excavate the imperial mausoleum overnight, move the people in the city, and immediately withdraw to Hexi, and order Duan simmer to lead the army to meet him!”

Seeing that Dong Zhuo finally recovered from the gloom, Li Ru was relieved and agreed.

”Don't worry, the prime minister. I'll go down to supervise it now.”

Liu Ye's successive victories in Guanxi finally aroused Dong Zhuo's strong uneasiness. With Liu Ye and Yuan Shu's two-way coalition forces pressing down on Hangu pass, Dong Zhuo was finally unable to support him and was determined to get out of the mire of Luoyang.

Dong Zhuo first gave orders to fan Hou and Lv Bu, and ordered them to stick to Hangu pass and Hulao pass respectively. Although fan Hou was afraid of Liu Ye and Yuan Shu's ”100000 army”, he was Dong Zhuo's direct general after all, so he still stuck to Hangu pass.

But Lv Bu did not agree with Dong Zhuo's orders, and he still stayed in Yanzhou. However, as Dong Zhuo's words became more and more severe, he wanted to cut off the supply of grain and grass to Lv Bu. Lv Bu had no choice but to withdraw from Chen Liu and retreat to Hulao pass. Although Dong Zhuo successfully restrained Lv Bu, he also planted the seeds of discord between them.

April 23 is destined to be an unusual day.

On this day, almost all the rich and powerful families in Luoyang City were ransacked. Li and Guo Si went door to door with the flying bear army. However, all the rich people with names and surnames were found in Luoyang.

This group of flying bears killed civilians in Luoyang on weekdays without authorization. Because of their status, they could not fight against big families. However, Prime Minister Dong gave an order, and two generals Li Guo led the team in person. Naturally, his subordinates showed no mercy.
