"Move the capital?"
Another day passed after the battle.
In Mushui Pass, Sun Jian's generals were discussing their next strategy.
Listening to Baili Ming's analysis, Zu Mao couldn't help but stand up and say in shock,"
"Did you mean that Dong Zhuo might choose to move the capital?”
Although the others didn't have as big of a reaction as Zu Mao, their eyes were filled with shock.
The military counselor was really someone who would not rest until he shocked everyone!
It was really hard to accept that he had suddenly thrown out such a conclusion!
Facing everyone's surprise, Baili Ming, who was sitting on Sun Jian's right, smiled and said,"
"That's right. I dare say that Dong Zhuo will definitely choose to move the capital!”
"And it won't be too late. Perhaps it has already begun after the defeat!”
They had already started moving the capital!
Hearing this, everyone was shocked.
Sun Jian smiled bitterly and said,
"Military Advisor, Dong Zhuo only lost a Mushui Pass, why would he move the capital?”
"If that thief Dong really wanted to move the capital, why didn't our army chase after him? Why did they stop at this Mushui Pass?”
"Yes, please explain in detail, Military Advisor!"
The generals nodded in succession as they listened, wanting to understand the logical relationship between them.
Seeing this, Baili Ming stood up and said with a smile,"
"Since everyone wants to know, then I'll embarrass myself!”
After saying that, he came in front of the general map.
The current map was rather simple. Other than the main mountains, rivers, and general place names, there was no other information.
He casually glanced at it and pointed at the map."
"Let's talk about why Dong Zhuo moved the capital first!"
"Everyone, please look at the map. Dong Zhuo was born in Xiliang and started in the east of the river.”
"After entering the capital that day, we first mobilized our troops into the capital, then annexed Ding Yuan and integrated the West Garden Army. The total number of troops exceeded 250,000.”
"In addition, this person is on good terms with the Qiang Hu and has a portion of the Hu army under him.”
"On the other hand, the vassals have gathered many troops. The most are thirty thousand, and the least are ten or twenty thousand. Each of them has brought their civil and military officials, making a total of nearly three hundred thousand troops.”
"On the surface, the two armies are evenly matched. Therefore, everyone thinks that Dong Zhuo should not move the capital!”
"Yes and no?"
At this point, he looked around and saw that everyone nodded.
Even Sun Jian agreed.
Seeing this, he shook his head and smiled."
"If you really think so, then you're wrong, very wrong!”
"In my opinion, the two armies are not evenly matched in terms of military strength. Dong Zhuo is slightly better than the alliance army.”
"However, in all wars under heaven, military strength is far from the deciding factor.”
"Although Dong Zhuo has a lot of troops, he only occupies Guanzhong, Henan, Hedong, and part of Liangzhou.”
"As for the vassals of the world, from Nanyang in the south to Liaodong in the north, they are all over Jizhou, Youzhou, Bingzhou, Qingzhou, Yanzhou, Xuzhou, Yuzhou, and Jingzhou!”
"In the face of this situation, Dong Zhuonan will have to face Yuan Shu from Nanyang, Wang Kuang and Zhang Yang from the north, and Yanzhou and Yuzhou from the east.”
"Although Luoyang has an impregnable pass, it has fallen into an encirclement. The troops are scattered and difficult to concentrate.”
"Even if Dong Zhuo wins this time, in the future, the vassals will send troops every three months and invade the territory every five months. In just three years, his subordinates will be exhausted.”
"After a few years of development, the vassals will definitely grow. When the time comes, they will gather an alliance army to attack Dong Zhuo.”
"However, if Dong Zhuo takes advantage of the situation to move the capital, he can shrink the defensive line and use the Pre-Qin territory to defend Hangu Pass, Tongguan Pass, and Wuguan Pass.”
"Secondly, we can shrink our forces and attack from behind. We can first pacify Liangzhou and take Hanzhong and Sichuan in the south.”
"In this way, not only will Dong Zhuo be invincible, he can also sit back and watch the tigers fight, control the world, and watch the vassals fight for hegemony.”
"When there are changes in the world, we can continue the Qin Empire's hegemony and send troops to Hangu Pass. How can the world remain uncertain?”
"Therefore, to Dong Zhuo, moving the capital now is like risking death. I think Dong Zhuo has many wise men under him, so how could he not see the stakes?”
"Therefore, I dare to conclude that regardless of the outcome of this battle, Dong Zhuo must move the capital!”
After saying that, Baili Ming cupped his hands at Sun Jian and returned to his seat.
He was waiting for the generals to digest the information he had just said.
As someone from the later generation, he knew the necessity of Dong Zhuo moving the capital.
Moreover, after careful analysis, he was sure that Dong Zhuo's move to move the capital was not a stupid move, but a brilliant move.
If it wasn't for Dong Zhuo's lack of strength, the situation at the end of the Han Dynasty wouldn't have been able to reach 30% of the world!
However, he was able to see through it so thoroughly because he knew the cause and effect.
For the generals, they still needed some time to digest it!
As expected, after a while, Zu Mao slapped his thigh and said,"
"Advisor Jun, you're right! Dong Zhuo, this bastard, might really want to move the capital!”
Then, the generals agreed.
Sun Jian also reacted and immediately said with a solemn expression,
"Advisor Jun, what are we waiting for?”
"Why don't we kill our way into Luoyang right now? Otherwise, Thief Dong will succeed in moving the capital and become a great disaster in the future!”
When the generals heard this, they also said one by one,"
"Yes, Military Advisor. Since Dong Zhuo wants to move the capital, why should we wait here?”
"Don't let him escape!"
"Let's charge into Luoyang in one go and capture that thief Dong!”
As everyone spoke, the atmosphere became lively.
But when Baili Ming saw this, he just smiled faintly and did not say a word.
Seeing this, Sun Jian hurriedly said,
"What do you mean, Military Advisor? What should our army do?"
Hearing this, everyone looked at Baili Ming with questioning eyes.
Faced with the crowd, the smile on Baili Ming's face disappeared."
"In my opinion, our army shouldn't join in the fun. We should take advantage of the situation to go north and attack from the east of the river!”
"This…"
When the generals in the hall heard this, they could not help but be shocked.
Luoyang was right in front of them, but they couldn't enter it. Why did they change their direction and head to the east of the river?
Wasn't this the opposite?
Sun Jian thought for a while, but he was still puzzled."
"Military advisor, the allied army has already entered the Si River and the decisive battle is approaching. Why should our army go in the opposite direction?”
Hearing this, Baili Ming smiled and shook his head.
"This battle is called a decisive battle, but I'm afraid the dukes might not be able to win!”
"My lord, think carefully. What is the composition of Dong Zhuo's subordinates?”
"Let's talk about the Western Liang Army first. Ever since Dong Zhuo raised his army, they have been fighting for many years.”
"Next is the Bingzhou Army. They have to fight against the Xianbei in the north and the Qiang Hu in the west. They have been fighting for years and their combat strength is not bad.”
"The worst of them all, the West Garden Army, is still the official army of the Imperial Court!”
"Even if there are many commoners who are absorbed later, they are only a minority.”
"On the other hand, other than my lord and Gongsun Zan, the majority of the alliance army are county soldiers, righteous soldiers, and commoners.”
"How can we fight Dong Zhuo?"
"Therefore, I dare to conclude that Dong Zhuo's invasion from the west will not result in a great defeat for the allied forces, but at least it will be difficult for them to win.”
"If our army stays here, not only will it be difficult to enter Luoyang, but it will also be difficult to advance!”
"At the same time, because our army opened a gap at the Si River, Dong Zhuo had to mobilize forces from other places to resist the main force of the alliance army.”
"To the south are the Great Valley, Yi Que, Wu Pass, and other checkpoints that are difficult to conquer.”
"In the north, we only need to cross the river to enter Luoyang!”
"So now is the best time for our army to go north!”
At this point, he stopped talking.
In fact, from the moment they conquered Mushui Pass, both history and the original plot of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms were no longer applicable.
Originally, Dong Zhuo's army was defending, so Lu Bu could challenge them alone.
But now, Dong Zhuo had both offensive and defensive abilities. On one hand, he had to prevent the alliance army from entering Luoyang, and on the other hand, he had to find an opportunity to counterattack at Mushui Pass.
Therefore, Dong Zhuojun would attack and defend with all his strength and caution!
Therefore, they would be at a strategic stalemate in the direction of Mushui Pass. Their only chance was to use the foresight of the vassals to attract the attention of the main forces and attack Luoyang from the north!
This was the best time to fish in troubled waters and strengthen himself!
He didn't believe that with Sun Jian's military strategy, he wouldn't be able to figure out the crux of this matter!
Sure enough, after a moment of silence, Sun Jian realized the key to this strategy.
This was clearly asking him to leave the dukes behind and do it alone!
Now that Dong Zhuo was going to move the capital, only Advisor Jun could see it.
Therefore, when they went north, the dukes would not notice anything unusual. They would only think that they were going north to attack Niofu and eliminate the enemy forces in the east of the river.
How could they realize that their goal was to charge into Luoyang?
Similarly, because of the existence of the alliance army, Dong Zhuo wouldn't notice the disappearance of their army!
Now that his strength had increased greatly, wouldn't it be easy for him to take this opportunity to attack Luoyang?
Thinking of this, Sun Jian stroked his short beard, his heart already extremely shocked.
He had thought that the military counselor would have some attainments in tactics at such a young age, but he did not expect him to be so amazing in terms of strategy!
He was indeed a natural genius!
