The entire eight passes of Luoyang were filled with fireworks, and countless soldiers burned the houses they could see at all costs. Facing the cold swords and whips, they either moved the capital with their children or became corpses on the ground. Countless people cried and moved the capital towards Chang'an.

The time for moving the capital was too hasty. Although the news of moving the capital was released in advance, perhaps countless families in the capital were unwilling to leave Luoyang, and there were many rumors and opposition voices within the eight passes. The people were not really prepared to move the capital. Instead, they gathered together to resist because they knew about moving the capital in advance. Therefore, there were countless people who were killed and injured...

Dong Zhuo's attitude was extremely firm and the soldiers were not polite. After recognizing the reality, countless unarmed people could only cry and go westward. The migration team dragged on for two or three hundred miles. Even if Dong Hu had not witnessed it with his own eyes and did not know the harshness of moving the capital from the spies, he knew how much death and injury would be caused by Dong Zhuo's subordinates.

Even Dong Zhuo and his generals had never participated in the migration of hundreds of thousands of people. Even when the 200,000 to 300,000 Yellow Turban Army went north from Yuzhou to Jizhou, they only led the front army and the central army forward. On that day, the central army was all the Yellow Turban Army young and strong, and they existed like "army soldiers". The real old, weak, women and children gathered in the rear army, and were led by Dong Hu himself.

No one is willing to leave his hometown, whether it is the Yellow Turban Army or the current people of Yin County, Henan Province, but under the pressure of swords, the people can only be forced to migrate to another place.

After countless casualties and injuries on that day, the Yellow Turban Army had to migrate to Bingzhou to survive. After the soldiers burned Luoyang and killed some people who were unwilling to leave, the people of Luoyang had to bow their heads and migrate. At first, they would face an unselectable situation. Dong Hu knew that this kind of loss was inevitable.

There was no major migration in the Jiuzhou of You, Ji, Qing, Yan, Yu, Xu, Jing, Yang, and Yi, but how many people died in each state after the three kingdoms began?

If the people of Yin counties in Henan do not migrate and fight after a series of battles, how many people will be left?

For Dong Hu, although Dong Zhuo was living, although Guanzhong was more difficult, the people were not displaced due to war, and Dong Zhuo did not really slaughter the people violently. Until after his death, there was no one in the court who could control the situation. Only then did the Liangzhou army fight each other, and the three servants of Chang'an completely lost control.

No matter which classic, historical books record some evidence of Dong Zhuo's cruelty. There are four main sources of evidence. One is that many people died when moving the capital. The second is that Dong Zhuo turned the "five cents" of Wuzhu coins into "five cents" of small coins, causing prices to soar. As a result, countless people starved to death. The third is that Dong Zhuo killed some ministers. The fourth is that Xu Rong wiped out Sun Jian in the Battle of Liangdong. This battle not only captured Li Hao, the prefect of Yingchuan County, but also engaged in Zhang An and the more than 10,000 Yingchuan Army. Dong Zhuo not only killed all these prisoners, but also cooked Li Hao, the prefect of Yingchuan County, and Zhang An in the jar.

Moving is inevitable for military choices. There is the Baibo army to the west, and the Huns threaten the retreat route. There is the Henei prefect Wang Kuang stationed in Mengjindu to the north, and there are more than 100,000 soldiers eyeing him in the east. There is the Yuzhou governor Kong Yichang stationed in Yingchuan County in the southeast, and Yuan Shu in the south. Sun Jian lay in Luyang in Nanyang County. Two or three hundred thousand princes trapped Luoyang. There are many unstable factors inside. If Dong Zhuo did not move the capital, he would die!

The time for moving the capital was too hasty, and the princes of all walks of life did not give Dong Zhuo any preparation time. In such a hasty move, death and injury are inevitable.

The "five cents" copper coins are changed to "five cents" copper coins. This is the same as the sudden issuance of ten times. Prices will definitely soar suddenly. However, no matter how Dong Zhuo "issuances" currency, it is not paper money, but real hard currency copper coins, which will definitely not cause the 300 coins per stone to soar to 500,000 coins per stone. The reason why the grain price is more than a thousand times is the result of Dong Zhuo's sudden movement of the capital in February.

Moving the capital in February means that hundreds of thousands of people must give up all the wheat within the eight passes of Luoyang. In other words, hundreds of thousands of people are in a famine situation for half a year from February to autumn grain. If the treatment is not done properly and summer planting is not carried out in time, if the autumn grain is not obtained, it means that there will be famine for more than a year from February to May next year when the wheat matures.

How many people will starve after such a long famine? How many people will starve to death from such a long period of time? How can the price of grain not soar? Even if the price of grain soars more than a thousand times, how can we buy food?

Dong Hu could figure out why Dong Zhuo changed from big money to small money, prices rose rapidly, and the military pay of soldiers also rose. At this time, the Han soldiers did not say that they were in the military farm. The first person to farm in the Han Dynasty was Cao Cao, who used prisoners to farm after capturing a large number of prisoners of the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou.

The root of changing large money to small money is because of the migration of capital. It is because of the huge famine caused by hasty migration, and soaring prices, like wild horses that broke away from the reins. This situation not only happened in Guanzhong. After the battle between various princes, copper coins trading basically became a decoration. The whole world entered the era of bartering. Even in the Cao Wei period, this state was not changed. It was not until the Jin Dynasty that the Wuzhu Coin Age was restored again.

Under the war, the economy suffered serious damage, and the price per day was one price. The essence of money was just to maintain the equal value of goods. However, under the war, the materials were poor, and the prices of various goods fluctuated greatly, and copper coins lost their original role, which had nothing to do with changing large money to small money.

Dong Zhuo killed the ministers. If Dong Hu were replaced, he would kill more ministers!

As for the killing of Li Hao, the prefect of Yingchuan County, he worked in Zhang An and killed all the prisoners of Yingchuan County. Cao Cao killed prisoners for fifteen years, and from the second to the seventeenth year of Jian'an, he killed prisoners for fifteen years. Among the three kingdoms, the only one who did not kill prisoners was Liu Bei.

According to Dong Hu's understanding of Dong Zhuo's temperament, killing prisoners in Yingchuan County meant to shock others, but not just that. The bigger reason was that he was extremely angry with Kong Yichang, the governor of Yuzhou. Before Dong Zhuo became the prime minister, Kong Yichang was just a civilian. Although he was famous for his reputation, he was a civilian. Dong Zhuo promoted him from a civilian to a state governor. But he did not expect that Kong Yichang actually rebelled and stationed troops in Yingchuan County, and directly threatened Luoyang through the Qiyuan Pass. If anyone changed him, he would be extremely angry.

Dong Zhuo promoted Liu Fu, the governor of Jizhou, who was from Yingchuan County. If Liu Fu did not betray him, Yuan Shao would not dare to rebel at all. Even if he rebelled, he could easily suppress him. If Jizhou did not rebel, Yanzhou would be attacked by Jizhou's flanks.

Dong Zhuo promoted three major officials in total, including Liu Fu, the governor of Jizhou, Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, and Kong Yichang, the governor of Yuzhou. They all rebelled. If anyone else had changed, they would probably be mad. If they didn't kill some people, how could he relieve him?

This is an era of bad luck. After Dong Zhuo moved the capital, as long as he did not consciously slaughter the people, Dong Hu would not be prepared to continue to ask about his affairs. No matter whether there were or not Wang Yun or Lu Bu conspired to kill him, he would not be prepared to continue to ask about it.

Dong Hu knew very well that after Dong Zhuo's death, Dong Min and Dong Mao's uncle and nephew could not control the generals of Liangzhou. As long as they entered Guanzhong at the appropriate time, Guanzhong would still be stable, and the people who moved in could be spared from the suffering of war.

Dong Hu did not object to the capital movement, or even supported it, but he knew that Dong Zhuo and his generals did not have the experience of migrating hundreds of thousands of people, nor did he think about how to minimize the losses. All they could use was to drive away by force, and even the soldiers below would deliberately kill some people to plunder the wealth of the wealthy people, even if these wealthy people were just a little better than the beggars who had nothing to do.

This kind of thing will not only happen to the people, but also in the army. A five-zhu coin is about 4g, and a thousand-yuan coin is sixteen kilograms (actually 8 kilograms). Some soldiers guard the border for a longer time, dozens of kilograms or hundreds of kilograms of copper coins cannot be carried with them, so they will be stored in the hands of the money and grain officials.

The war will be kept in the hands of the money and grain officials. The more frugal the soldiers, the more money they save, and this means the more dangerous it is. The general will send the soldiers who save more money to the front line and use normal means to let the soldiers die on the battlefield. After the rich soldiers die, the money on the books becomes the general.

Not only money, but also the family members of soldiers. The soldiers guarding the border often carry their families. Once the soldiers die, most of the soldiers' wives and daughters will be rewarded to meritorious soldiers. Almost as if they were sinners in the army, this kind of thing existed during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, but no one would say it.

This is how it treats soldiers, what about the people?

As a commander of the army, Dong Hu didn't need to look at it with his eyes, and he knew how many innocent people would be killed or injured, but he couldn't intervene.

At the beginning of the chaos in the world, the people of the Central Plains were quite energetic. Even if Dong Hu killed Dong Zhuo, he successfully suppressed Niu Fu and others. From the officials in the court to the people below, they would not be honest and obedient, and would not be in the same mind as him. This is different from Liang and the people.

Liangbing is in the border area and may face wars and turmoil at all times. The people will learn reality and bow to the strong. If they do not, they will die. As long as Dong Hu is extremely powerful, Liangbing people will bow their heads and surrender until you lose your strength. But the people in the Central Plains are different. The Han Dynasty has been strong for hundreds of years and has fought all over the world for hundreds of years. The Huns moved west by the Han Dynasty. The Qiang of Liangzhou rebelled again and again and again and again, and bowed their heads... The Han Dynasty used countless wars to prove its invincible strength and cultivated the pride of the people in the Central Plains, especially the pride of various major families.

There have been countless powerful ministers in the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years, so what in the end? No powerful minister has a good ending. Today, whether it is Dong Zhuo or Dong Hu as powerful ministers, the ministers, the people of Luoyang seem to have lowered their heads with swords, and they will never be convinced.

He sympathized with his heart, but reason told himself that he could not interfere. As a border land in Liangzhou, Dong Hu knew very well that only by letting the people truly recognize the cruel reality and only by using the cruel reality to smash the pride of the people in the Central Plains can he win the hearts of the people with gentle policies.

When Dong Zhuo started to move the capital, Dong Hu was paying attention silently and the people gradually became silent. In the end, he was even unwilling to read the letters sent by the spies, locking himself and his children in the courtyard, dividing the fields, and throwing all the troubles of farming to Cai Yan. Liu Bian ignored them. What he didn't know was that when Cao Cao saw Xu Rongqiang moving the people of the counties east of Hulao Pass, he finally couldn't bear it. He quarreled with Yuan Shao for several days, hoping that more than 100,000 troops from the Sour Date Alliance would defeat Dong Zhuo in one fell swoop when the Luoyang relocated the capital. But...

Cao Cao was extremely angry in his heart. He looked at Yuan Shao and the princes sitting one by one, then suddenly shook his sleeves, turned around and left...

"Meng De, you..."

Yuan Shao spoke, Cao Cao paused, but he did not turn back.

"At the beginning, you and I know very well that Dong's thief moved the capital before fighting. As long as our army's 200,000 troops crossed the Bian River, the Dong's thief's army will collapse. Our army can regain Luoyang in one fell swoop and eliminate Dong's thief!"

Valley

"This is the best time to eliminate Dong's thief in one fell swoop. If you cherish your troops and don't want to fight first...you are willing to be your pioneer!"

"snort!"

After saying that, Cao Cao was about to leave, and the prime ministers of Jibei Bao Xin and Wei Zi stood up at the same time.

"Meng De, wait!"

"Let's go together!"

Bao Xin and Wei Zi no longer clasped their fists with Yuan Shao, and walked to Cao Cao with great strides. The three of them looked at each other and laughed.

"Ha ha……"

"Happy—"

"Ha ha……"

...

Seeing the three of them laughing and leaving, Dongjun Prefect Qiao Mao looked at Yuan Shao who was frowning and unhappy, and stood up and looked at everyone.

"Is this inappropriate? I heard that Xu Rong has been following Dong Zhuo for the longest time and has more than 10,000 elite soldiers in his hands. Just by Meng De and his two thousand soldiers..."

"If Meng De and the others win, wouldn't it be fine if they win. If they are defeated, wouldn't they kill the thief and defeat our army's morale?"

After Qiao Mao said that, everyone agreed in a low voice. After Yuan Shao glanced at the people, his eyes suddenly turned on Gongsun Zan.

"What do Bo Gui thinks?"

Gongsun Zan stood up, clasped his fists coldly and said, "What Meng De said is some truth. If our army's 200,000 troops attacked with all their strength, Dong Zhe would be afraid and fled, but if there were only 20,000 soldiers... Zan thought he should be cautious."

Yuan Shao was overjoyed, but he was extremely solemn on his face and nodded, "Twenty thousand soldiers are indeed not safe enough. Can Bo Gui be willing to fight with Dong Zhe?"

Gongsun Zan felt annoyed in no time and said coldly: "Our army has only 5,000 soldiers. Even if we count the 20,000 soldiers and the others, there are only 25,000 soldiers. Please be careful with the leader Yuan!"

"snort!"

Gongsun Zan snorted coldly and sat down. When everyone saw this, they shook their heads secretly. Gongsun Zan was named "General Fenwu". This title was the title of Emperor Liu Hong before he died of illness. He was a serious general in the Han Dynasty. However, Yuan Shao used his self-proclaimed "General Fenwu" to make Cao Cao a "General Fenwu". Isn't this too bullying?

It would be fine if General Fenwu, who took Gongsun Zan, had to let him and go with Cao Cao and let him, the real general, obey the fake one?

Gongsun Zan snorted coldly and everyone shook their heads secretly. Yuan Shao was overjoyed, but his face was nothing unusual.

"Are anyone else willing to fight?"

Everyone looked at me, and I looked at you, and they were all in a situation where no one was willing to speak on their own initiative, fearing that they would be the first to rush forward to die as soon as they spoke...

"Brother Liu can lead the army to fight?"

Seeing that everyone was not speaking, Yuan Shao glanced at the crowd for a long time, and finally fell on someone else. It was Liu Sheng, the prince of Qinghe County, and the old Liu in Dong Hu's mouth. As Dong Hu expected, this guy also became a prince in the "Guandong" under the pressure of Liu Fu, the governor of Jizhou and the third master Yuan family of the fourth generation.

Liu Sheng looked around and looked around, as if the "Old Liu" in Yuan Shao's mouth was not him. Seeing that he was so timid, everyone showed disdain.

"Brother Liu."

Yuan Shao spoke again, and Liu Sheng had no choice but to get up and hold his fists.

"Liu thinks... Dong Thief is extremely cunning, so it's better to be cautious."

"oh?"

Yuan Shao seemed to know that he would say so, and slapped his armrests with his big hand and leaned forward slightly.

"Brother Liu has been in Lintao for a long time and has a close relationship with Dong Zhe and that tiger baby. Could it be...Isn't he unwilling to fight with the Zhe?"

Everyone looked at each other, and Liu Sheng's expression turned pale in an instant. At this moment, Gongsun Zan spoke unhappily.

"What does Alliance Leader Yuan mean? Brother Liu led his troops to help the war, but he became a thief who surrendered to the enemy? If this is true, how will the people in the world view us?"

Gongsun Zan stood up with anger on his face.

"snort!"

"If the morale of Dong thief collapses, Meng De's 20,000 troops will be enough to defeat Xu Rong. If Dong thief was prepared, our army must fight with all its might!"
