Chapter 265

On the side of Hulao Pass,

After capturing Hulao Pass, Su Xuan and his men rested for a day and then broke camp again to set off to kill toward Hulao Pass. (In this book, Hulao Pass and Hulao Pass are set as two different passes.)

Of course, the military equipment and spoils Su Xuan confiscated were also exchanged for 20, 00 gold from Lord Yuan Shu.

The number was already quite large.

Making Su Xuan feel happy inside.

Lord Yuan Shao is a good person!

Because he made a scene, I directly got an extra 20, 00 gold in revenue, a huge profit.

Lord Yuan Shao found out about this afterward and even went to Lord Yuan Shu, getting angry at him: "Lord Yuan Gonglu, are you stupid? Those are spoils of war, they should belong to all of us, why did you spend money to buy them?"

"Are you crazy?"

In fact, Su Xuan sent someone to find him first, but he was rejected.

Even, Lord Yuan Shao told the person who came that since Su Xuan had received the reward for this battle, these spoils of war should be confiscated.

As a result, unsurprisingly, the person Su Xuan sent refused directly.

Lord Yuan Shao had originally prepared to drag it out to make Su Xuan agree in the end.

After all, Su Xuan's side was mainly cavalry, and it wasn't convenient to carry so many military equipment and spoils.

Unexpectedly, Su Xuan turned around and sold the things to Lord Yuan Shu.

The key is that this idiot Lord Yuan Shu actually agreed.

Lord Yuan Shao simply didn't know what to say.

"You're the stupid one!"

Lord Yuan Shu heard Lord Yuan Shao's abuse and immediately didn't accept it, retorting directly: "Even if I were stupid, I wouldn't go and explore other people's secrets myself, and end up almost falling out with them;"

"Who stipulated that spoils of war should belong to the public?"

"Go and ask those lords, is there anyone willing to do that?"

"Everyone came for the benefits, not really to suppress the thieves;"

"You want to embezzle everyone's biggest benefit, do you believe that everyone will oppose you, or even pull you down from your position?"

"You don't really think that just because you became the alliance leader, you're something amazing, do you?"

Simply nonsensical.

"You..."

Lord Yuan Shao heard this, was speechless, and his face turned red with anger.

He was actually reprimanded and educated by Lord Yuan Shu?

The key is that he actually felt that the scolding made quite a bit of sense.

This made Lord Yuan Shao's self-esteem unbearable.

He flicked his hand and snorted coldly: "Hmph! Suit yourself! One day you will regret it!"

Saying this, Lord Yuan Shao walked away in a fit of anger.

"Tsk..."

Lord Yuan Shu looked at Lord Yuan Shao's somewhat embarrassed retreating back, curled his lips in disdain and said: "My general will not regret it! The one who should regret it is you, Lord Yuan Shao."

In Luoyang.

The news that Hua Xiong was killed and Hulao Pass was broken reached Dong Zhuo's ears in just 1 day.

"Bastard! When did Hua Xiong become this useless?"

"When did Hu Zhen become this useless?"

"One didn't even last a round before being killed by the enemy general, and the other didn't even guard for a day before losing Hulao Pass to me!"

"The most critical thing is that I also lost tens of thousands of troops;"

"Why don't they just go die?"

Dong Zhuo was furious, smashing things in the hall, roaring in vent.

Li Ru, who was beside him, wanted to say to Dong Zhuo: "Hua Xiong and Hu Zhen are indeed already dead!"

But he didn't dare.

He was worried that if he said this, Dong Zhuo would deal with him.

Therefore, he took a deep breath and said: "Father-in-law! Now is not the time to be angry;"

"Hulao Pass is broken, so the next ones to face the allied army will be Hulao Pass and Yique Pass and other places!"

"The most urgent task is to send reinforcements to support these two passes and block the enemy army outside the pass."

Hulao Pass cannot be lost now.

"Hmm?"

Dong Zhuo heard this and could only temporarily suppress the anger in his heart and asked: "Then in your opinion, how should we send reinforcements?"

"And who should be sent?"

Li Ru immediately said: "Hulao Pass is the main force of the allied army, not to be underestimated. Even a fierce general like General Hua Xiong was easily killed, so I think there must be experts among the enemy army!"

"Therefore, for this route to Hulao Pass, Lu Bu must go to support~!"

"As for Yique Pass, just send General Zhang Ji."

"In addition, Father-in-law, we should put the matter of moving the capital on the agenda as soon as possible;"

"Judging from the current situation, it is difficult for us to hold Luoyang in Sili;"

"As long as we are still here for one day, those allied lords will not retreat;"

"Only by moving the capital and retreating into Guanzhong, moving the capital to Chang'an, and using Hangu Pass as a natural barrier to block the allied army, can we truly be stable."

This was not the first time he had mentioned this.

He had mentioned it to Dong Zhuo twice before.

But Dong Zhuo didn't agree.

Because he was unwilling and reluctant to give up Luoyang and Sili just like that.

But now, seeing that the situation was a bit unfavorable, Dong Zhuo also had to fall into deep thought, seriously thinking about the gains and losses.

After a while, he raised his head and looked at Li Ru and asked: "Can moving the capital really disintegrate the coalition of lords and make them retreat?"

"You know, we are prepared to take the Son of Heaven with us;"

"They claim to be here to rescue the Son of Heaven, if they don't rescue the Son of Heaven, how can they be willing?"

"No, no!"

Li Ru shook his head with a smile: "Father-in-law overestimates these lords!"

"These people are very selfish;"

"Talking about rescuing the Son of Heaven, in fact, they are all for private interests!"

"Otherwise, Sun Sun Jian wouldn't have been defeated by cutting off supplies, and Hulao Pass should have been captured long ago!"

"But judging from the information we have received so far, Lord Yuan Shao and the others don't remember capturing the pass or capturing Luoyang at all."

"Their real purpose is just to make a name for themselves and to get benefits!"

"As long as we retreat into Guanzhong and hold Hangu Pass, even if they have more troops, they won't be able to break into Guanzhong and defeat us for a while;"

"When the cost and benefits don't match, they will inevitably retreat."

"There are many contradictions within these lords."

As long as there is no unified goal, these lords will soon fall apart due to internal contradictions, and even start to become hostile.

And this is what Li Ru wants.

"Hmm!"

Dong Zhuo nodded and said; "Since you've said so! Then I'll listen to you!"

"Next, the matter of moving the capital is up to you!"

"This time I am prepared to lead the army in person, and I will command 200, 00 Xiliang troops to support Hulao Pass, and have a good meeting with the lords;"

"Otherwise, I won't feel comfortable;"

"Let Zhang Ji go to Yique Pass!"

"As for the affairs of moving the capital, I'll leave it to you, Wenyou!"

"Also, this time it's also a good opportunity to test how many public officials and aristocratic clan members in Luoyang are secretly planning to rebel against me;"

"If I don't leave, they probably won't dare to act rashly;"

"But after I leave with the main army, these people will definitely jump out!"

"This is an opportunity, an opportunity to wipe out all those who oppose me!"

"Anyway, I have no patience to continue playing with them, if they don't cooperate, just go die!"

"I no longer expect them to accept me!"

"I've seen it, they never thought about accepting me;"

"No matter what kind of power I have obtained, in the eyes of these people, I am always that border general, a reckless man, who can't be on the stage."

"This matter is also left to you! Wenyou! Do it beautifully for me! You must wipe them all out, understand?"

He wants to have a wave of fishing enforcement to kill the prestige of these public officials.

At the same time, clean up these public officials.

To reduce the obstacles to moving the capital later and reduce the number of people in the court who oppose him.

At the same time, vent the anger he has suffered from these aristocratic clan public officials over the past six months.

He was really disgusted by the faces of these people.

Once, he thought that by relying on his own strength to achieve his current achievements, he could get the recognition of these aristocratic clan public officials and integrate into their circle.
