Indeed, that was the case, especially since Dong Zhuo was preparing to move the capital to Chang'an!
As for Tiger Pass, this perilous stronghold had already been pushed to the back of his mind.
In Luoyang City,
After Dong Zhuo issued the decree to relocate the capital, the forces of the Xiliang began urgent preparations.
In the Prime Minister's residence,
Li Ru bowed to Dong Zhuo and said, "My lord, our army lacks funds and supplies, while there are many wealthy households in Luoyang. We can confiscate their wealth."
"The wealthiest family in Luoyang is the Yuan clan, who have held high positions for generations. Moreover, Yuan Shao is now the leader of the allied forces. We can use this as a pretext to eliminate his faction, seize their assets, and obtain a vast fortune."
Upon hearing this, Dong Zhuo excitedly rubbed his chubby hands together.
Murder, arson, and robbery were his specialties! He had long held a grudge against the Yuan clan!
