Chapter 468 Dong Zhuo Moves the Capital to Chang'an
Qing Cang led 20,000 Chinese troops toward Huaxia City. All the people he carried were in squads. There were no musketeers. He left all the musketeers in the Huns because musketeers were needed there. Moreover, he also established gunpowder manufacturing sites in Shangjun City and Sheting City, and at the same time produced bullets to cope with the increasing consumption.
It was just this time. After this period, when the entire Huns were divided into five parts, the role of the musketeers would become lower. He also thought that when the Huns were in trouble, they would be withdrawn back to Huaxia City after the railway was built. After all, they were needed even more. More than 100,000 troops, a strengthening army's military strength could not be placed for a long time.
On that day, Qingcang brought 20,000 people across the Yellow River and arrived ten miles outside the west gate of Huaxia City. At this time, the soldiers of Huaxia City had already come out to greet him.
Zhang Liao led his Tiger Army to more than 200,000, and a large number of defenders in the city were among the top.
Xun Yu and Guo Jia arrived outside the Shili Pavilion to greet him to show their respect for Qing Cang.
Qing Cang took Zhao Zilong off the horse. Before leaving, there were 200,000 people, but when they came back, there were 20,000 people. All the division commanders were arranged to guard the Huns to supervise everything there. Those who didn't know thought Qing Cang had failed.
The two in charge said: "Meet the commander"
Qing Cang said: "Thank you two to Huaxia City these days."
Guo Jia said: "We have regarded building Huaxia City as our own career, and there is no word of hard work."
Xun Yu also said: "Yes, that's it."
"Well, I'm very pleased that you have this kind of heart. I want to know what big things have happened in the world recently?"
Although Qing Cang had telegrams, the things he received were fragmented and there was no dedicated person to organize them. He was usually in the marching procession, so he had no way to receive quite a lot of information at all times.
Guo Jia looked a little solemn, and he said: "A few days ago, Dong Zhuo ordered the Han army to move the entire capital to Chang'an."
Chang'an is now Xi'an, more than 300 kilometers west of Luoyang. Chang'an and Luoyang are the places with the most capitals in ancient China. They are the most famous ancient capitals and were called the Two Capitals in ancient times.
Chang'an is located in the west, at the junction of the mainland and the border. Luoyang is located in the world, with well-connected connections and Luoyang has an advantage in convenient transportation. Chang'an lives in Guanzhong, with the Guhan natural danger in the east, Wuguan in the south, Sanguan in the west, and Xiaoguan in the north, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Once there is an accident in the east, you can sit in Chang'an, attack and defend when advancing.
Dong Zhuo had also considered moving the capital to Chang'an. He could attack and retreat but defend, unlike Luoyang, who would seek a pass if he was attacked by the enemy.
Zhao Zilong was also thinking a little, and they didn't expect Dong Zhuo to be so quick.
"Is it so fast? I see that the face of Staff Guo is wrong, why is that?"
Guo Jia said: "Many intelligence personnel died in Luoyang, all of which were killed. We were unexpectedly expecting that the entire Luoyang had been burned to ruins."
Qing Cang asked, "Oh? They were exposed?"
Xun Yu interrupted, "No, it's not exposed. Before leaving, Dong Zhuo arrested several wealthy families in Luoyang, and calmed him for false charges, and used their property as a public servant, causing them to be punished by the death penalty. He also instigated the soldiers to burn, kill and rape the robbers and seize people's food. For a while, the entire Luoyang City was like hell, and most of our intelligence personnel failed to escape this disaster. It was really a loss to my Huaxia City."
After hearing this, Qing Cang felt very sorry. He observed silently for the dead, after all, they were doing things for themselves.
Zhao Zilong asked, "Why is there any situation in the coalition forces?"
Xun Yu said again:
"Cao Cao led a large number of coalition forces to advance straight in, fighting all the way until Dong Zhuo's army was invincible, but suddenly there was no follow-up. At the same time, something big happened at this time."
"Oh? What's the big deal?"
Xun Yu said again:
"Sun Jian hid in the place to catch the jade seal, trying to make a mistake. Later, he almost fought with Yuan Shao. At the same time, the coalition forces also announced their disintegration due to Sun Jian's unfaithful intentions. Now they have dispersed. This is equivalent to giving Dong Zhuo a chance to breathe."
The historical saying is that when Sun Jian was extinguishing a fire, he encountered a well and took out the jade seal and a woman from it. Later, Yuan Shao asked him to hand it over, and he vowed that he had never seen it. Yuan Shao didn't believe it, so the two fought and were persuaded by the coalition forces. At the same time, Sun Jian also went back to his Eastern Wu. Someone left, and the entire eighteen princes were useless and naturally collapsed.
Guo Jia made a statement: "Why don't we take this opportunity to kill Dong Zhuo?"
Qing Cang had his own considerations, and he said: "You can consider it. Plan this for a long time. Maybe you can consider it when our railway is built near them. It will only take a few days to clean them up."
When the distance is closer, who will be conquered? Isn’t it a matter of several cannons?
"If the commander has his own ideas, it is the best. I saw that Chang'an's foundation is unstable at this time, and it is a good time to start."
"Staff General Guo, you are right. Now you are trying to get the people and lose money. What can we get? Just to eliminate Dong Zhuo's words, then this benefit seems to be insufficient to send troops. Moreover, it is too far away from Huaxia City, and it takes too long to go back and forth. If soldiers are sent to guard it, it is equivalent to splitting the soldiers in Huaxia City. It is difficult to guarantee that we will not be attacked by those who are interested. If our technology is obtained by others, it will be a big loss for us."
Qing Cang said a lot, and every reason made Guo Jia very reasonable.
Guo Jia then said, "That's because I'm too anxious."
"This kind of thing can be discussed, there is nothing right or wrong."
"Yes, the commander said yes."
Qing Cang asked again: "What else is there?"
Xun Yu asked: "I think the commander brought back this time seems to be less than 50,000 troops? What's going on?"
Zhao Zilong said:
"Staff General Xun, let me answer on behalf of the commander. We will keep the 180,000 troops in the Huns until the Huns are divided into five. When they return, it depends on the commander's meaning."
The two men's staff officers suddenly realized.
"So that's it, the commander thoughtfully."
"Well, okay, let's go back to Huaxia City. I guess there are a lot of things waiting for me to deal with now!"
"Yes, commander!"
"please!"
The group of people left Shiliting before they left. Their return was welcomed by many soldiers, and a large number of people also spontaneously expressed their welcome.
Qing Cang went on a war for China, and China was their home, so Qing Cang went on a war for them.
There are still more than 600,000 troops in the entire Huaxia City. The city has become very huge and can accommodate tens of millions of people. However, the population of them has not yet reached this number. I believe it will definitely be able to reach it in the near future.
