Chapter 77

The Guandong aristocratic group had completely fallen out with Dong Zhuo.

But forced by powerful military pressure, the Guandong aristocratic group temporarily had no good way to deal with Dong Zhuo.

However, the Guanzhong region, especially the Three Metropolitan Districts area, had basically developed its potential to the extreme.

Compared to the vast land of Guandong, it ultimately appeared to lack stamina.

It was fine in the short term; no one in Guandong could defeat Dong Zhuo.

But what about five years later?

Ten years later?

Twenty years later?

If Guandong were integrated and unified, a powerful force would definitely be born.

At that time, if Dong Zhuo's army were defeated, everything would return to the original historical trajectory.

Regarding this, Li Ru appeared extremely worried.

"Mr. Wenyou, facing the current situation, perhaps we can consider moving the capital."

"Luoyang is ultimately a place of four battles, and there is no danger to defend nearby."

"The Lord's foundation is in Guanzhong; if we abandon Guanzhong and place the center of gravity in Luoyang, in the long run, it is not a good thing."

Gu Yi voiced the thoughts in his heart.

In reality.

The area where Luoyang was located was the core region of Guandong.

As the capital of the Han dynasty, the influence of the Guandong aristocratic group in the Luoyang area could be described as deep-rooted.

Historically, the reason Dong Zhuo moved the capital to Luoyang, besides fearing the power of the Guandong Coalition.

A more important reason was to avoid its sharpness and move the political center to a region where he had greater influence.

Chang'an, as the former capital of the Western Han dynasty, although it had declined in recent years.

But it was still a very important core city.

To the east of Chang'an, there was Hangu Pass to defend.

To the west, there was Tong Pass to hold.

The surrounding circle was even surrounded by the Qinling Mountains.

From a geographical location, it couldn't be more superior.

In comparison.

Although Luoyang was the capital of the Han dynasty.

But its position was on a protruding piece.

The surroundings were tightly surrounded by Guandong warlord forces.

To the north were Yuan Shao, Han Fu, Wang Kuang, and others.

To the east were Yuan Shu, Cao Cao, Bao Xin, Zhang Miao, and others.

These lands, Dong Zhuo could not occupy in the short term.

Even if occupied, under the boycott of the Guandong aristocratic group, it would only fall into endless rebellion.

Looking at it this way.

Luoyang, this Han capital, had become a chicken rib in Dong Zhuo's hands.

As the saying goes, "tasteless to eat, a pity to discard."

What was different from history was.

Nowadays, because Dong Zhuo's army defeated the warlord coalition.

The power was even more powerful than in original history.

But precisely because Dong Zhuo occupied Luoyang, the surrounding warlords dared not engage in internal strife, but instead huddled tightly together.

In other words.

As long as Dong Zhuo and his main army were in Luoyang for one day, these guys would not dare to fall into internal strife because of fear of Dong Zhuo's military edge.

This is like teaming up to fight a boss in a game.

If the boss is still there, the teammates will definitely cooperate to kill the boss first.

But if the boss dies, the internal interest distribution problem is enough to make the original teammates fight each other!
