Three Kingdoms

In the hall, a gust of night wind passed through, causing the candlelight to sway and causing the shadows on the surrounding beams and curtains to move around like ghosts, creating a gloomy and terrifying feeling.

On the chessboard, the black and white chess pieces are crisscrossed and strangled each other in an extremely tragic manner. Now there is not much space left on the entire chessboard. The entire chess game has entered the final stage. Just look at the last ten pieces. Several moves, even within a few moves...

Especially at the end, the gap between the first move and the second move can simply overturn the entire chess game...

Yuan Wei stuck a chess piece and tapped it gently on the edge of the chessboard, making a clicking sound.

Although Yuan Wei was silent about the proposal to move the capital at the court meeting, it did not mean that he agreed to move the capital. To be precise, if only Emperor Liu Xie and Prime Minister Dong Zhuo moved to Chang'an, Yuan Wei would immediately support it with both hands, and would even immediately cooperate to give him what he asked for, even if the treasury was emptied.

The richness of Heluo does not mean how rich the treasury in Luoyang City is, but that the entire Heluo area has been accumulating wealth since Emperor Guangwu established Luoyang as the capital. Here is the most fertile land, here is the most complete water conservancy, here is The most numerous noble clans...

It has to be said that this move by Dong Zhuo or Li Ru was indeed completely unexpected by Yuan Wei. Yuan Wei really never thought that Dong Zhuo would have such courage to move the capital.

Moving the capital is a very important matter in any dynasty and at any time...

Liu Bang originally planned to make Luoyang his capital, but in the end he chose Chang'an as the capital because although the Qin Dynasty was destroyed at that time, there were still many Qin Dynasty troops resisting the Huns on the border. If Liu Bang did not guard Chang'an, it would be slow. Slowly digesting the problems left by the Qin Dynasty, what if the Kansai people find another Qin Fourth or Qin Fifth?

Another reason is that Liu Bang's regime was not stable at that time. The feudal princes from various places and the remaining local aristocrats from the Warring States Period were still very powerful, so choosing Luoyang, which is connected in all directions, was not a good choice.

Although Luoyang is the center of the country, it also means that it may be attacked from all directions anytime and anywhere. It would be better to choose Chang'an as the capital in Guanzhong, which is difficult to defend and easy to defend.

And the most important thing is that this move forced many Shandong nobles who followed Liu Bang to stay away from their homeland and go to Chang'an to hold official positions, breaking away from their original roots and ensuring that Liu Bang's fragile regime could gradually grow in the Guanzhong area...

And Liu Xiu established his capital in Luoyang - Liu Xiu believed that the Han Dynasty had a virtue of fire and avoided water, so he changed "Luo" to "Luo", so it was also called Luoyang - because Liu Xiu was able to conquer the world at that time, and with Nanyang Imperial Township, These two basic support areas in Longxing, Hebei are inseparable from each other. In addition to the Green Forest Army, the armies that opposed Wang Mang at that time also had the remnants of the Red Eyebrow Army supported by the Guanxi gentry who were still in the Guanzhong area, and even in Longzhong, Shuzhong, and Hexi. , Qingzhou, Xuzhou and many other areas still have powerful local governments that have not completely surrendered, so it is irrational and unrealistic to rashly leave the two major support areas and build a severely damaged Chang'an, so it has to be determined All in Luoyang.

However, it was precisely because Liu Xiu established his capital in Luoyang that the political center of the Han Dynasty moved eastward. Therefore, the Eastern Han Dynasty's control over the Hexi Corridor was not as strong as that of the Western Han Dynasty. As a result, the Qiang and Hu issue in the Yongliang area has always troubled the emperors and ministers of the Eastern Han Dynasty. , until Dong Zhuo also rose to power in Yongliang due to the rebellion against the Qiang and Hu...

A peck and a drink are all destiny.

It turned out that Yuan Wei had been playing chess around the political situation in Kyoto. Unexpectedly, Dong Zhuo and Li Ru openly wanted to start a new game of chess and stopped playing on the chessboard in Luoyang with Yuan Wei.

At this point, Yuan Wei admired Dong Zhuo and Li Ru very much.

Only with this kind of strategic vision and skill can you be worthy of being an opponent!

But...

Do you really think you can do it?

Now Dong Zhuo wants to move the capital to Chang'an. In Yuan Wei's view, he just wants to follow Liu Bang's old path and break away from the control of the Guandong gentry, especially the influence of the Nanyang and Hebei gentry, and re-establish an independent and free political system.

Regarding this issue, when Yuan Wei suddenly heard Li Ru raise it at the court meeting, he was actually very conflicted in his heart, so he remained silent and did not express any opinions.

On the one hand, Yuan Wei believed that moving the capital was not a good thing, especially for the entire country, but there seemed to be another voice in his heart. When Emperor Liu Xiu came from Nanyang, wouldn't there be a second emperor in the future? indivual?

Even further…

This voice carried a terrifying allure, which caused Yuan Wei to think and weigh constantly during the entire court meeting, and even after returning to the Yuan Mansion, he kept thinking about it.

After all, the matter is too important and all aspects must be considered to be more secure.

The Yuan family has been operating for so many years, and now it seems that it is time to harvest. With an order, the Kwantung Allied Forces gathered under the banner. This kind of strength was not even possible for Liu Xiu back then, but the Yuan family has achieved it now...

Now for the Yuan family, moving the capital may not be entirely a bad thing. It would be even better if they could only move half of it.

Now the current game of chess is coming to an end. If you want to start a new game, haha, Yuan Wei sneered, you have to finish the game in front of you first!

The Yang family is now secretly working together to get many low-level government officials to resign and slow down the entire process of moving the capital. The Yuan family might as well get involved and muddy the waters!

This is the first step!

Yuan Wei raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a gloomy smile, and patted the chess piece in his hand. This move was the Yuan family's first move, so he must take it first!

Then, Yuan Wei slowly stuck another chess piece and slapped it on another important place on the chessboard...

Let Yuan Shao lead the army from Jizhou and look for opportunities to advance from Hanoi. They can cross the river from Mengjin and cooperate with the Kwantung Allied Forces of Suanzao to attack the back of Chenggao Hulao Pass, or they can cross the river from Xiaopingjin to directly attack the north of Luoyang!

——This is the second step, and it is also the first step for the Yuan family!

Then Yuan Wei took out a chess piece again and slapped it on the chessboard!

Let Yuan Shu attack the southeast of Luoyang along the line east of Liang. If necessary, he can even break through Wuguan and kill Tongguan to cut off the westward route of moving the capital!

——This is the third step, and the first mover here cannot be given up!

Finally, Yuan Wei picked up the last chess piece and pointed it at the eye of the dragon he wanted to strangle...

——Let the Kwantung Allied Forces of Suzhou Jujube attack Luoyang head-on!

Yuan Wei twirled his beard slightly, and a cold smile appeared. Now that the chess pieces have been laid out, it's time for the final showdown. Let's see how Dong Zhuo responds and how he can escape from this strangulation!

Besides, there is still one chess piece left in my hand...

In the past, ancient people often dropped their chopsticks to look at the three-inch golden lotus under a beautiful woman's skirt when drinking... Then, ahem, Uncle Liu Huang dropped his chopsticks...
