Chapter 158: Dong Zhuo moves the capital, Cao Cao pursues fiercely

On Hulao Pass,

Dong Zhuo's brows were tightly locked.

"Li Ru, now that the rebel army is powerful and I have stayed in Hulao for a long time, I fear Luoyang will change!"

Li Ru cupped his hands.

"My Lord, the Allied forces have had their morale greatly boosted since Liu Bei defeated Lu Bu; it will be difficult for us to defeat them in the short term."

Dong Zhuo slapped the desk fiercely.

"Damn Big-Eared Thief, repeatedly opposing me. I should have killed this rebel back then!"

Li Ru's eyelids twitched; it was he who had suggested Dong Zhuo win over Liu Bei with virtue back then.

"My Lord, Liu Bei's martial arts are extremely high, and Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun are all fierce generals of the era. In a head-on conflict, Lu Bu is no match."

Dong Zhuo thought it was true; he should be glad he escaped with his life from Liu Bei's hands.

He frowned.

"Li Ru, I intend to move the capital to Chang'an; what do you think?"

Li Ru praised him and took the opportunity to change the subject from Liu Bei.

"My Lord, this plan is excellent! Luoyang is now the target of everyone; the Guandong warlords won't leave until they break it. If you move the capital to Chang'an and defend it by relying on the dangerous terrain, these warlords, who have different agendas, will inevitably turn their spears against each other to fight for territory!"

Dong Zhuo rose to his full height.

"Good, arrange for the capital to be moved starting today. When the Guandong warlords are fighting among themselves, I will send troops to wipe them out one by one! Especially that Big-Eared Thief!"

A few days later,

The Allied warlords were still drinking in the main tent; no one wanted to risk their lives to attack the city, and everyone was just wasting time under Hulao Pass.

"Report! ~"

A scout entered the tent.

"Report to the Alliance Leader, the four gates on the west side of Luoyang are all open, and the Xiliang soldiers are driving the people of Luoyang toward the west in a mighty procession!" ===== CHAPTER 159 =====
