Chapter 78

For the Guandong warlords at the current stage, land, cities, and population are the interests they want to fight for.

And Dong Zhuo undoubtedly played the role of the big boss in the game.

With Dong Zhuo sitting in Luoyang, the Guandong warlords would definitely be fearful at all times.

But if Dong Zhuo moved the capital to Chang'an, that meant Dong Zhuo gave up expanding eastward in the short term.

At least, in the eyes of the Guandong warlords, it was like this.

Just like the Warring States period, although the Six Heroes talked about cooperating to resist Qin in name.

But in reality?

Because Qin was located west of Hangu Pass, although the Six States feared Qin's military edge.

But in order to expand their own land and cities, the Six States would still attack each other.

The dead were countless.

Qin was not the most powerful country at the beginning of the Warring States period.

But after several years of development.

First it annexed the Bashu region, then occupied Xiliang, and its power was greatly improved.

Looking at the Guandong Six States?

They had been consuming internally.

Today's situation, compared to the past, had similarities.

But what was different was.

The strength of the Guandong aristocratic group was more than double what it was in the pre-Qin period!

If Dong Zhuo chose to continue staying in Luoyang, his development momentum would not only be greatly restricted.

What was even more hateful was that he would be subjected to endless attacks by the warlord coalition over and over again!

Without beating down Dong Zhuo, this boss, the Guandong warlords would absolutely not fall into internal war and strife first.

Moving the capital to Chang'an was actually the only way for Dong Zhuo's force to break through the development bottleneck period!

Of course, what was more important was.

Dong Zhuo, this lord who could hold down the fort, must live well.

If Dong Zhuo suddenly died, Dong Zhuo's army would inevitably split and separate due to falling into civil war.

History also proved this point.

Originally, moving the capital to Chang'an was a very exquisite move.

But Dong Zhuo's sudden death disrupted everything in the future.

Li Jue, Guo Si, and other Xiliang remnants, even if they inherited a part of the foundation left by Dong Zhuo, ultimately lost the ambition to go east out of Hangu Pass.

The glorious Xiliang Army ultimately became yesterday's yellow flowers.

Nowadays.

Due to Gu Yi's butterfly effect.

Dong Zhuo's army crushed the Guandong Coalition.

The matter of moving the capital to Chang'an, which would have inevitably appeared, therefore did not happen for a long time.

Therefore, when Gu Yi proposed the four words "move the capital to Chang'an,"

Li Ru was slightly stunned.

But with Li Ru's wisdom, he soon figured out the deep-seated reasons.

Immediately, Li Ru spoke:

"Moving the capital to Chang'an is indeed a feasible move."

"But... after moving the capital to Chang'an, how should the old capital Luoyang be handled?"

This problem had no other options for Dong Zhuo to choose from in original history.
