Chapter 79

Facing the Guandong Coalition, whose military edge was flourishing.

Dong Zhuo did not want and did not hope to leave the intact Luoyang city to this group of guys.

Therefore, under Li Ru's suggestion, Dong Zhuo chose to set fire to Luoyang.

The century-old old capital was thus destroyed in one day.

And now.

Luoyang city was still in Dong Zhuo's hands.

If he just burned Luoyang for no reason like this.

Let alone the people of Luoyang and the civil and military officials.

Even Dong Zhuo himself would probably be reluctant!

However, as the saying goes.

If you are reluctant to part with the child, you cannot catch the wolf.

The Guandong warlords were not fools either.

If Dong Zhuo did nothing, they would definitely not be willing to take the bait.

Therefore, Gu Yi replied:

"Luoyang can only leave a small part of the garrison to guard it, and take away all those valuable things."

"As for Sishui Pass and Hulao Pass, send two generals to lead a small number of elite troops to station there."

"In this way, Luoyang will be like a chicken rib to the Guandong warlords."

"After all, to take Luoyang, one must first open up Sishui Pass and Hulao Pass."

"And these two passes are probably already nightmares in the hearts of the Guandong warlords."

"In this way, only a small number of elite troops are needed to guard these two passes."

"And after moving the capital to Chang'an, not only should the focus be placed on the Three Metropolitan Districts area."

"More importantly, it is to quickly obtain Liangzhou and Yizhou!"

Hearing this, Li Ru couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

Liangzhou was originally Dong Zhuo's place of origin.

But after entering the capital, Ma Teng and Han Sui and that group of guys took advantage of the Xiliang Army's focus not being in Liangzhou to occupy a large area of land.

If the capital is moved to Chang'an, Liangzhou is Chang'an's back garden.

How can the back garden tolerate this group of guys making trouble?

As for Yizhou.

It is known as the Land of Abundance and is a place easy to defend and hard to attack.

Back then, Liu Yan, that old fellow, proposed the system of abolishing the inspector and establishing the shepherd.

As a commendation, he successfully changed his appointment from the position of Youzhou Inspector to Yizhou.

Due to closed traffic, Yizhou became a country of its own.

Although there was communication with the Central Plains, it was not as frequent as other provinces.

It is no exaggeration to say that Liu Yan, this scoundrel, had become the local emperor of Yizhou.

Before the Guandong Coalition invaded, the spies Dong Zhuo's army sent to Yizhou had reported news.

It is said that Liu Yan, this scoundrel, secretly built many imperial carriages and vehicle tools that violated regulations.

Originally, these things could only be used by the emperor.

Although Liu Yan was a high official of the frontier and a member of the Han clan, what right did he have to build things used by the emperor privately?

From this, it can be seen that Liu Yan, this scoundrel's ambition was really not small.

Previously, Dong Zhuo's army had been busy dealing with the Guandong warlords and had not been able to spare time to deal with him.

But if the capital is moved to Chang'an...

Yizhou, as the Land of Abundance, should naturally be included in the territory!
