The officials only hoped that nothing big would happen today.
The banquet began, and the entire Dong Residence was filled with singing and dancing. The officials drank with each other and chatted happily. These officials had a tacit understanding that most of their enthusiasm was just for the Grand Preceptor Dong to see. Attending Dong Zhuo's banquet was actually the most terrifying thing. Who knew how many vengeful souls were buried in this hall? They didn't even want to stay here any longer. However, due to Grand Preceptor Dong's power, they could only act as if nothing had happened. It would not be good if Boss Dong caught them.
Ye Tian drank a lot, mostly from someone else, but with his True Qi, he didn't refuse.
After three rounds of wine, Dong Zhuo looked at everyone and said,"Everyone, quiet down and listen to me.”
As soon as Grand Preceptor Dong opened his mouth, no one dared to say anything. As a result, the entire banquet hall seemed to have agreed on it and instantly fell silent.
"Back then, after I occupied Luoyang, I conferred titles to the kings and rewarded the three armies. I didn't expect them to be so ungrateful. Now they've joined forces to attack me, saying that I'm rebellious and cruel. Bohai Governor Yuan Shao, General Yuan Shu, Jizhou Governor Han Fu, Yuzhou Governor Kong, Yanzhou Governor Liu Dai, Hanoi Governor Wang Kuang, Chenliu Governor Zhang Miao, Guangling Governor Zhang Chao, Dongjun Governor Qiao Mao, Shanyang Governor Yuan Yi, and Jibei Minister Bao Xin have formed the Guandong Army and want to march west to capture Luoyang. This group of ungrateful villains was truly detestable. Now that the Guandong Army is about to arrive at the city, I wonder if you have any good ideas?”
The ministers had long heard about the Guandong Army. This force was aiming to capture Luoyang and overthrow Grand Preceptor Dong.
Minister Yan Chang bowed and replied, In my humble opinion, the Guandong Army will not really attack Luoyang. They are just testing the Grand Preceptor.”
"Why do you think so?" Dong Fangzhuo smiled.”
" Although the Guandong Army is large in number and fierce, the soldiers they have are too complicated. They belong to different forces and are scattered on the battlefield. They don't have much combat strength at all.”Yan Chang said," Besides, Luoyang is a century-old city. It's not an exaggeration to say that the city walls are impregnable. I'm afraid it won't be easy for them to break through."”
"Grand Preceptor, Yuan Shao's subordinates are just a motley crew. If you give me fifty thousand soldiers, I will definitely kill them all!”Lu Bu also stood up. After staying in the Dong Residence for so long, it was time for him to make a name for himself.
"Hehe, Fengxian, don't be anxious. There will be a time for you to show off your skills in the future.”Dong Zhuo gestured for Lu Bu to step aside before turning to Ye Tian and asking,""What can I do for you, Carefree?"
"Replying to Grand Preceptor, I wouldn't dare to." Ye Tian bowed and replied," Grand Preceptor Tian Zong is a wise and far-sighted man. He sees things a hundred times better than us. This humble official thought about it, there are benefits to war and benefits to peace, so he couldn't make up his mind. I'm stupid, please forgive me. However, the Grand Preceptor was meticulous, meticulous, and meticulous. What the lords thought of was probably already within the Grand Preceptor's expectations. No matter how good the plan that we think of, it can't be better than the Grand Preceptor's guidance. We only need to listen to the Grand Preceptor's instructions. Whatever the Grand Preceptor says, we will do it with all our heart and with all our might. In the end, we will be blessed with good fortune and everything will go well.”
When the officials heard this, they were all extremely impressed. No one in the court could compare to this guy in terms of official skills. This person's bootlicking skills were very good, and he was wondering if he should acknowledge him as his master.
"I'm here to ask you to think of ideas, not to listen to your praises." Dong Zhuo chuckled.”
Ye Tian cupped his hands and continued,""Grand Preceptor, this humble official is not singing praises. After listening to the Grand Preceptor's words, I thought for a long time about how to deal with it. If there is a need to use troops, how to mobilize troops and generals. Only then will there be a way to win. I have to make the Grand Preceptor not worry at all. But after thinking about it, it is really too wise and wise, and we are too weak. The plan that we have painstakingly thought of is definitely not as good as the Grand Preceptor's casual idea. The Grand Preceptor is the descendent of the Crape Myrtle Star from the heavens, and the emperor's purple aura is on his body. Naturally, an ordinary person like me can't compare to him. Therefore, I thought that as long as the Grand Preceptor gave the order, it would definitely be good. Even if you don't understand it for a moment, as long as you put in your heart, you will finally understand it later.”
When the officials heard this, they secretly cursed him for being shameless and flattering in public, but they could only agree.
Cai Yan glanced at Ye Tian, finding himself unable to see through him. Was this still his son-in-law?
Dong Zhuo laughed heartily at Ye Tian's words, sweeping his gaze over the crowd.""The Guandong Army is aggressive and strong. It's the worst policy to fight them head-on. Therefore, I plan to give up Luoyang and move the capital to Chang 'an.”
"Humph! I'm not that generous!" "Leaving them an empty city is already a blessing for those ungrateful villains!" Dong Zhuo sneered.”
Hearing Dong Zhuo's words, the officers were as silent as cicadas in winter.
What was an empty city?
No one, no food, no property. It was just like Tianben's three-light policy when they invaded the East-kill, burn, and rob.
All the officials were pondering over the meaning of the word 'empty city'. When they gradually understood, everyone's expressions changed-Luoyang City! Things were really going to change!
"Yes, Grand Preceptor, if we move the capital to Chang 'an, what will happen to the people of Luoyang?”
