"Doctor Ling is right. If we abandon Hulao Pass, Luoyang will be defenseless.”Dong Zhuo said.
After Tiger Cage Pass, there was a wide stretch of flat land with no danger to defend. This was also why Dong Zhuo could only hesitate there even though he wanted to retreat.
Chu Tian smiled and shook his head.
"If we can abandon Tiger Cage Pass, we can naturally abandon Luoyang!”Chu Tian said in a clear voice, like a warning bell.
"What? Abandoned City? Absolutely not!"
"We are willing to fight to the death here and coexist with Tiger Cage Pass!”
"Sikong, you must not abandon the capital!"
"This fellow, please think twice before sending someone over!”
As soon as Chu Tian finished speaking, the entire meeting hall exploded. According to Chu Tian, this was a move of the capital, which was absolutely unacceptable to these generals.
"Bang!" Dong Zhuo smashed his wine glass on the table.
"Humph, Fengxian, for your sake, I won't kill him. Let him go.”Dong Zhuo was also displeased. Even Dong Zhuo could not accept Chu Tian's words.
"Sikong, the ancients have a saying that a strong man loses his arm. Now that we are defending this place to the death, our army has suffered hundreds of thousands of casualties.”Looking at the people who had a violent reaction, Chu Tian continued," Besides, has Sikong ever thought that if the capital is moved to Chang 'an, there will only be one pass between Chang' an and Luoyang. If we station our troops here, what use would it be no matter how strong the enemy is?”
Although they could take a detour to Tongguan from Luoyang to Chang 'an, the distance was too far and it was too easy to guard against, so it could be ignored.
"We would rather die in battle than retreat!”
Chu Tian's heart was filled with mockery. The dignity of a warrior? It was really funny.
"Sikong, I think what the lieutenant said might work.”Fanning himself with the feather fan in his hand, Li Ru squinted at Chu Tian for a long time before he turned around and said to Dong Zhuo.
"Oh? What do you think, Doctor Ling?" Dong Zhuo, who was about to get angry, looked at Li Ru and asked.
Li Ru was Dong Zhuo's number one wise general. His words were much more trustworthy than a young man he met for the first time.
Chu Tian did not expect Li Ru to speak up for him. Indeed, a civil official with a mental strength of over 90 was much smarter than a group of martial artists.
" Our Han Dynasty originally built Chang 'an as its capital. However, due to some reasons, we moved the capital to Luoyang. Now that we're moving back to Chang' an, we can tell the world that our Han Dynasty has regained its former glory and pacify the hearts of the people.”Li Ru's voice was indifferent as he continued,
" Moreover, Luoyang is located in the middle of the world and is not a good place to defend. There are many inconveniences. Chang 'an is impregnable and easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is the best place to establish a capital.”
These two points could not be refuted. A capital city did not need to be accessible in all directions. What it needed was absolute safety.
"But if we move the capital, will we hand over the entire Luoyang City to this mob?”Hearing Li Ru's words, Dong Zhuo was moved.
"Sikong, you can rest assured that the people of Luoyang will be moved away together with their supplies and valuables within the next day. As for the remaining Luoyang City, what can the alliance army get after setting it on fire?”A trace of viciousness flashed across Li Ru's eyes. No one knew what he was thinking.
“…………”
For a moment, everyone was silent. What Li Ru said was not wrong at all. Rather than fighting to the death here, moving the capital to Chang 'an and defending the Jiayu Pass was definitely a better choice.
Chang 'an was the ancient capital of the Han Dynasty, so there was nothing wrong with moving it back to Chang' an.
"Allow me to think twice and see how I should deal with it.”Dong Zhuo paused Li Ru's words and pondered for a moment before saying," Let's end the discussion here today. You may leave."”
Everyone bowed and left the meeting hall.
Outside the hall.
"Brother, please wait!"
A shout came from behind. Chu Tian, who was walking with Lu Bu, turned around.
The person who spoke up was none other than Li Ru, who had spoken up for him just now.
"Mister Poison, what's the matter?" Before Chu Tian and Li Ru could greet each other, Lu Bu had already placed the Heavenly Halberd in front of Li Ru and himself.
" General Fei is too serious." Li Ru's expression did not change at all because of Lu Bu's Heavenly Halberd. He fanned himself and looked at Chu Tian. He continued," The words you said just now were very wise and enlightened. I just don't know your name. I'll be able to pay you a visit after Chang 'an."”
"I'm Chu Tian.”Chu Tian returned the greeting with the Heavenly Halberd between them.
"Brother Chu, I still have something important to do today, so I won't disturb you. I'll definitely meet up with you in the future.”Li Ru cupped his hands and fanned himself before leaving, leaving only Lu Bu and Chu Tian behind.
"General Lu, how is this person?" Chu Tian asked after Li Ru left.
"You can't be with a vicious person." A cold voice rang out from Lu Bu's mouth. It seemed that Lu Bu didn't have a high opinion of Li Ru.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" At this moment, a shout came from afar!
