After all, there are more than 100,000 soldiers and horses fighting outside the city, and Luoyang City is only a stone's throw away, and there are very few soldiers and horses in the city, in case a wave reaches Luoyang, it will be bad. And some families and wealthy families who were afraid of chaos in the world also began to bring their own family soldiers and generals to fight in the streets and alleys of the city, because the dead people really had a great connection with some families and wealthy families. Even the people who supported the Yuan clan from various families and wealthy families quickly divided into two factions, one supporting Yuan Shu and the other supporting Yuan Shao, and these people fought to the death near the Upper East Gate. Worse still, they tried to rush out of the city gates to help the people outside in battle. If it weren't for Zhu Jun's early request for Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song, and Gai Xun to garrison the other three gates, no one would be allowed to enter or leave Luoyang City, I am afraid that as soon as the city gate is opened, the soldiers outside will enter the city.

Now there is chaos in Luoyang City, and there is also chaos outside Luoyang City, and the people in the city are hiding at home and dare not go out, because the streets are full of dead people. Only the Shisun Mansion in the southeast corner was quiet, Shisun Rui had already discussed with Lin Nan, and also did a good job of defense, and convened the ten wealthy merchants in Luoyang City to jointly control the southeast and southwest of Luoyang City, and did not allow outsiders to enter, so that thousands of people scattered in the periphery to protect the people in these two places. The top ten wealthy businessmen were rich and wealthy, and they didn't want to be affected by this turmoil, so under the mention of Shisun Rui, they immediately screwed together and waited for Lin Nan to lead the troops.

The chaotic sound of horses' hooves sounded outside the Great Xia Gate, and Gai Xun saw a pure cavalry coming towards the Great Xia Gate, and he saw Lin Nan taking the lead from a distance, and the big stone in his heart could also be put down.

Lin Nan galloped to the outside of the Great Xia Gate, and saw that it was Gai Xun who was guarding the door, so he hurriedly stopped the soldiers and horses behind him. Riding forward, he shouted loudly: "Brother Gai, please open the city gate and let me in, there is already chaos outside the city." ”

Gai Xun was hesitating to open the city gate, when he saw a man running up panting. Breathless, he saw that the person he had sent to inquire about the news in the city, so he hurriedly asked, "How is the situation in the city?" ”

"Lord Qiyu, the ten wealthy merchants joined forces to defend the enemy, and used the thousands of men they raised to defend the southeast and southwest, and the rest of the families and wealthy families are still fighting in the area of the upper east gate, where the people have all fled to the relatively stable south of the city, and some people near the west gate wanted to go out, but were forced to retreat by Lord Lu. The south gate was normal, and Lord Zhu was observing the scuffle outside the city. ”

After hearing this, Gai Xun pondered: "There are very few soldiers in the city, just defending the city is hard enough, and there is also a strict weapon fight in the city, this situation has been chaotic, if it is not stopped in time, once it reaches the south of the city where the ten rich merchants live." I'm afraid it will evolve into a more powerful fight......"

Lin Nan saw that Gai Xun was hesitating, so he said loudly: "Brother Gai." Since there is also a fighting at the city gate, it must be stopped, my subordinates can completely quell the fighting in the city, and can also help defend the city, you quickly open the city gate and let me in. ”

Gai Xun thought about it for a long time. Still decided to open the city gate, and immediately ordered: "Open the city gate and let General Lin enter the city!" ”

These soldiers were originally persuaded by Shisun You to take refuge in Lin Nan, but because Lin Nan had given an order, they should not be rude to the court officials. That's why I've been listening to these people, or I would have opened the gates of the city a long time ago. As soon as they heard that the gates were opened, they left without saying a word, and opened the gates.

Lin Nan led the troops into the city, 5,000 cavalry rushed in, and after entering the city, Lin Nan didn't have time to greet Gai Xun, so he took the troops to quell the fighting in the city. Anyway, he also picked it up first, but at that time he calculated well, if Zhu Jun didn't appear, Yuan Shao and the others would completely die in the palace, and there would be no chance to get out at all. Perhaps, he could also take the opportunity to annex the soldiers and horses of these princes, and expand his power to the Gyeonggi area in one fell swoop, so as not to cause such a big scuffle. However, because of Zhu Jun's unintentional mistakes, his plan was ruined, and it also caused this big scuffle.

He couldn't tell who was right and who was wrong, and the top priority was to quickly quell the fighting inside the city, as for the melee outside the city, he didn't have that ability for the time being.

"Zhao Yun, Tai Shici, Wen Ping, Chen Dao, you each led a thousand people to search in the northern city, and if you encounter anyone who has a weapon to fight, you will drive them all to the square located in the middle of Luoyang City, if there are those who do not obey, you can kill chickens and monkeys." Lin Nan immediately commanded.

"No!" The four of them replied together and left.

"Wait!" Lin Nan suddenly remembered that Tai Shi Ci liked to kill prisoners, so he hurriedly said, "Old General Huang, you replace Tai Shi Ci and let him follow me!" ”

Tai Shi Ci said puzzledly: "Lord, why is this? ”

Lin Nan said: "You have the bad habit of killing prisoners, I don't feel at ease with you, you go with me, go to the south of the city to Shisun Rui." ”

Tai Shici turned over and dismounted, knelt down on his knees, and shouted loudly: "Lord, Ziyi has changed, and he will not kill prisoners casually, and ...... And these people are not soldiers at all, so I have no reason to kill them. I promise I won't kill anyone casually, so please believe me this time! ”

Huang Zhong, Chen Dao, and Wen Ping have just arrived, and they have no friendship with Tai Shici, so they don't know the inside story, and they don't want to intervene casually. Seeing this, Zhao Yun hurriedly persuaded: "Lord, please believe Ziyi once!" ”

Lin Nan thought for a while, then said, "Okay, if you kill another random person today, I'll cut off your head." ”

Tai Shi Ci hugged his fists and said: "Please rest assured, Ziyi will not kill anyone casually." ”

Lin Nanyi turned his head and said to Huang Zhong: "Old general, you come with me, let's go to Shisun Mansion." ”

Huang Zhong nodded, and then followed Lin Nan with a thousand people to gallop directly along the avenue in the city towards the south of the city, while Zhao Yun, Tai Shici, Chen Dao, and Wen Ping each led a thousand people to scatter.

Everywhere Lin Nan passed, all the doors and windows were closed, and there were a lot of blood stains on the streets, and the further he went, he could see many corpses, most of which had been beaten to death with sticks. Although everyone in Luoyang City is a private soldier, for the sake of Luoyang's public security, private soldiers are never allowed to carry weapons such as knives, guns, swords, halberds, etc., at most clubs, and if you want to hold a sword, you must report to the relevant departments for review, just like a gun license. Luoyang is Gyeonggi. The people in the city are more strictly controlled, and if everyone can hold a sword, then in case of rebellion, it will be repaid. Therefore, except for the army and officials, the common people were generally not allowed to possess weapons.

It didn't take long for a while. Lin Nan came to the south of the city and saw that the people were flocking to Shisun Mansion for refuge, which made him look at Shisun Rui differently.

The family members of the Shisun family all knew Lin Nan, and Lin Nan did not stop him when he came with soldiers and horses, and put him in directly, and then held a stick to guard the intersection.

As soon as he arrived at Shisun Mansion, Shisun Rui hurriedly greeted him and said, "General Lin, you are here." I've been waiting for me to death. ”

Turning over and dismounting, Lin Nan stared at the people around Shisun Mansion who had come to take refuge, and said to Shisun Rui: "Lord Shisun, this matter is beyond the scope of my control, who would have thought that a Zhu Jun would be killed halfway through, and it would disrupt my entire plan." Lord Shisun, are you ready? ”

Shisun Rui said: "General Lin, my son Shisun Youdu has already told me about the matter. At this point, I can only walk away. I have ordered someone to load all my family property, and go with General Lin along with the ten wealthy merchants, but it is a pity that my Shisun family has worked hard in Luoyang for a hundred years......"

"Lord Shisun, please rest assured, what you have in Luoyang, I will compensate you twice as much after arriving in Jicheng. Now that the heroes have begun to fight, Luoyang will be affected sooner or later. In the future, it will be the most loyal of the princes, although Luoyang is full of flowers, this is also the credit of you rich businessmen, as long as you go together, no matter where you go. can make that city as prosperous as Luoyang. ”

"The general is right, my Shisun family has been passed down to me for the fourth generation, and they have been doing business for generations, making Luoyang full of prosperity. As long as my Shisun family goes, I can make it rich. General Lin, don't say anything, I will inform the other nine wealthy businessmen to go with me and follow General Lin to Youzhou. ”

Lin Nan courtier Sun Rui arched his hand: "It's hard work, take these people away, you prepare here first, and when the fighting in the city stops for a while, I will send someone to inform you, and I will leave first." ”

On the square of Luoyang City, at this time, many families who were driven over had gathered, under the care of Lin Nanjun, divided into two groups, just like the heroes who were fighting outside the city, various families and wealthy families, all represented by Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, fought in the city, killing and wounding many people, if Lin Nanjun did not arrive in time to stop this fight, it is likely to affect the entire Luoyang City.

More than 4,000 people dressed in various clothes were divided into two columns, separated by the cavalry of Lin Nanjun's army in the middle, and there were still cavalry guards on the periphery, and anyone who did not stop talking would be immediately executed. Most of these family members, generals and the like are ruffians and hooligans in the Luoyang area, and fights and brawls are common, because they are all disciples raised by the imperial court, so few people deal with these things fairly.

Lin Nan took Huang Zhong from the south of the city to the square, and saw so many people in the square, many of them were injured, he didn't say a word, and immediately asked Zhao Yun and Tai Shici to drive these people to the yamen of the captain of Si Li, and put them all in prison, and these people in the province came out to make trouble again.

More than 4,000 people were unarmed, and the sticks in their hands were confiscated, and they were very good at fighting, but they still had no confidence when they were really compared with the soldiers, so they could only be driven away and put in prison.

After dealing with these things, Lin Nan asked Chen Zhi and Wen Ping to go to the south of the city to help Shi Sun Rui and others, and then led his troops back to Daxiamen.

Gai Xun at the Great Xia Gate had already received the news, and he was relieved that the fighting in the city had stopped. As soon as he saw Lin Nan coming, he hurriedly greeted him: "General Lin, thanks to you this time, otherwise, there will be no one to manage the city, and those people may not be able to make trouble?" ”

Lin Nan jumped off the horse, clasped Gai Xun's hand, and said to Gai Xun: "Brother Gai, Luoyang can't stay for a long time now, the heroes led by Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are fighting fiercely outside the city, if you don't evacuate now, once the two groups of people start Luoyang's idea, then Luoyang will not be able to hold it." The ten wealthy merchants in the city have already discussed and are ready to go out of the city with their families, and the people will also follow out of the city, and the north gate is the only safe place after all, I hope that Brother Gai can open the city gate and let them out of the city. ”

Gai Xun didn't think about it, he immediately agreed, and then said: "General Lin, what else needs to be done by Gai, despite the order, it has now reached this juncture." His Majesty is not in Luoyang, and many people in the Three Princes and Nine Emperors have engaged in armed fights, and this situation cannot be cleaned up, so they can only transfer as many people in the city as possible. ”

"Dong Zhuo has been killed by Ma Teng, and His Majesty is unhindered, and he is protected by Ma Teng and retreats to Guanzhong. Brother Gai, don't worry about the situation over there. Now that Lu Bu is carrying Dong Zhuo's head, he is back with Gongsun Zan and Tao Qian's soldiers and horses, maybe they can stop the chaotic situation, or maybe they will join the melee, Cao Cao has returned to Yanzhou, I also want to take advantage of this time to go back to Youzhou, I don't know if Brother Gai is willing to go back to Youzhou with me? ”

Gai Xun thought for a moment and responded: "Since Your Majesty is fine, my heart should also be put down." Ma Teng was loyal to the Han family and might be able to protect His Majesty from harm. My family has all moved to Luoyang, and judging from the current situation, Luoyang is likely to become an important place for the competition among the heroes, and if I continue to stay in Luoyang, it will definitely be affected. General Lin, I'll go back to Youzhou with you, and I, Gai Xun, don't have any great talent. I can do it in charge of the local area or in the war. ”

Hearing Gai Xun's words, Lin Nan was grateful. He and Gai Xun are good friends, and it seems that this friend is not in vain. He hugged Gai Xun and said slowly: "Brother Gai, Luoyang City is the largest city in the entire Han Dynasty, accommodating 200,000 people, and these people must be transferred out within these two days. Stay away from the center of the war for the time being, and then return to Luoyang after the war subsides, and the grain can be opened in the official warehouse in the city and distributed to the people. Brother Gai has good connections in Luoyang City, and I want to ask Brother Gai to come forward. Mobilize the whole city to evacuate in batches, and I brought 5,000 soldiers this time, and it is precisely for this reason that I came. ”

Gai Xun didn't say a word, and immediately arched his hand: "General Lin, don't worry, for the safety of the 200,000 people in Luoyang City, I will mobilize the people of the whole city to evacuate, please General Lin borrow me 500 cavalry, and after an hour, I will definitely organize the people to evacuate in an orderly manner." ”

Lin Nan said: "Well, out of the Great Xia Gate, twenty miles to the north is Beibi Mountain, which can be used as a temporary habitat for the people. In addition, if you are willing to go back to Youzhou with me and stay away from this place of right and wrong, please leave Brother Gai separately. ”

Gai Xun grinned and said, "General Lin, you are really a shrewd person, at this juncture, you have not forgotten to increase the population of Youzhou, you are more suitable to be a state pastor than Liu Yu, the pastor of Youzhou." ”

Lin Nan also laughed, and arched his hand towards Gai Xun and said, "I'm here waiting for Brother Gai's good news!" ”

Gai Xun hugged his fist, and then took the five hundred cavalry assigned to him by Lin Nan, and returned to Luoyang City.

"Old general, you are stationed here at the city gate, and I will take two hundred cavalry to the city to have a look." Lin Nan said to Huang Zhong.

Huang Zhong said: "Don't worry, the old man will definitely guard this door." ”

Lin Nan turned over his horse and went straight to the treasury with 200 cavalry, since he was leaving, he did not loot the treasures in the treasury before leaving.

After galloping in the city for a while, he returned to the treasury near the North Palace, and at this time there were only a few dozen people in charge of guarding, and they were Zhu Jun's subordinates. When this group of people saw Lin Nan coming with soldiers and horses, they all saluted Lin Nan.

"Open the treasury!"

Under Lin Nan's order, these guards did not dare to disobey, after all, Lin Nan was a powerful man, and his official position was also high, so he could only do so.

The moment the treasury was opened, Lin Nan galloped into the treasury, and as soon as he entered the door, Lin Nan was surprised that the treasury was empty, and there was nothing left.

"What's going on? And what about what is in the treasury? Lin Nan rode out of the treasury, pointed to the empty treasury, and asked sharply.

When the soldiers knew that the treasury was empty, they knelt down and begged for mercy.

Seeing that these soldiers didn't know, Lin Nan suddenly had a thought in his mind, and said in a lost voice: "Could it be that Dong Zhuo took all the things in the treasury with him when he left?" Not good! ”

"Go to Luocang!" Lin Nan rode his horse and whipped up, shouted loudly, and galloped out.

Two hundred cavalry followed Lin Nan and ran towards the southwest, where there was a grain market, and behind the grain market was Luocang, where the grain was stored in the entire Luoyang City. Aocang is the grain of the whole Sili, and the grain in Luocang is from Aocang, basically every six months from Aocang to Luocang Tongguò water transport and send grain, in order to supply the food needs of the entire Luoyang City. As soon as Lin Nan saw that the treasury was empty, he immediately remembered the grain and grass, and was afraid that if Luocang was empty again, the 200,000 people in Luoyang City would go to drink the northwest wind.

Finally galloped to Luocang, and saw that more than 2,000 people in Luocang were carrying grain to the carriage, and although the people carrying the grain were wearing the clothes of the Han army, they were Shisun Rui's subordinates. Only then did he know that Shi Sun Rui had already secretly controlled Luocang. Those soldiers were also raised by him, and after he saw this scene, he understood the horror of money in his heart, and secretly congratulated himself that he tried his best to win over Shisun Rui, otherwise, this would be a big deal. He really couldn't do it.

He was also thinking about another question in his heart, for the rich Shisun family, how should he deal with it, and after arriving in Youzhou, whether to unload the mill and kill the donkey, or continue to use it. In the end, he made his own decision, or to use the financial resources of the Shisun family for the time being, to pave a way for him in politics and military. Because what is fought in a war is the strength of the country. If there was such wealth as the Shisun family, the war would be much simpler.

When his fears were put down, he asked the men in charge of transporting the grain to do everything he could, and then let them transport the grain directly to the north gate and from the north gate out of the city, while he galloped back to the north gate with two hundred cavalry.

When I returned to the north gate again, I met all the people of Luoyang along the way with their families and mouths, packing up and saluting. Among them, many civil and military ministers and wealthy families who did not participate in the armed struggle were persuaded by Gai Xun to send their own families to maintain order in the city, under the command of Situ Yang Ci, Taizhong Doctor Xu Jing, and Dasi Nong Chen Yu, who had extremely high prestige in Luoyang City and even the entire Han Dynasty. The evacuation of the population began.

The north gate has been opened, and the people closest to the city gate have evacuated first, and under the maintenance of Gai Xun and Huang Zhong, they have left the city from the Great Xia Gate one after another, and a great migration has begun......

On the first day of September, autumn is crisp. It was an extraordinary day, as the 200,000 people living in Luoyang City began to evacuate from Luoyang City and headed towards the North Mountain, far away from their homes for the first time.

At noon, the streets of Daxiamen were crowded. The orderly evacuation that began to be orderly has now begun to become a bit chaotic, but fortunately, Lin Nan, Gai Xun, and Huang Zhong have tried their best to maintain it by the city gate, so that there is no stampede. Yang Ci, Xu Jing, Chen Yu and others also migrated their families one after another, mixed in the ranks of the evacuated people, forming a human dragon.

Daxia Gate is the largest city gate in Luoyang, but the people who cope with these evacuations are still not enough, and they have no choice but to open all the gates of the north gate, which speeds up the evacuation of the people. By noon, the people in the north of the city had almost evacuated, and as soon as they heard that they would be affected by the war, they began to evacuate one after another. In addition, Lin Nan also specially sent people to more than a dozen cities near Luoyang City to notify them and prepare them to evacuate.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, a scout came to report that Lu Bu, Gongsun Zhan, and Tao Qian's soldiers and horses had returned, and Liu Yu had also come with soldiers, and the melee came to an end temporarily under the mediation of Liu Yu.

Immediately afterwards, another scout came to report, saying that Lu Bu heard that Yuan Shao had killed a lot of soldiers from the state, so he began to attack Yuan Shao with the victorious division, Yuan Shao recruited Gongsun Zan to resist Lu Bu, Yuan Shu and Liu Biao fought again, Tao Qian said that he was neutral, and when he saw that the melee continued, he withdrew his troops back to Xuzhou.

Lin Nan was busy evacuating the whole city, where could he take care of these things, after knowing the situation, he scouted and continued to investigate, as long as those people did not come to the north gate and did not affect the evacuation of the people, he would not make a move.

However, after a while, the scout reported again, saying that Liu Yu invited Zhu Jun and Huang Fu Song to mediate together in order to persuade the two sides to stop fighting, but the result angered both sides and killed Liu Yu, Zhu Jun, and Huang Fu Song together.

The scout here has just finished the report, and Tian Chou under Liu Yu's tent over there was covered in blood and ran to Lin Nan's camp with more than 8,000 infantry under Liu Yu's subordinates, praying that Lin Nan sent troops to avenge Liu Yu.

"Lord...... Lord ......"

Lin Nan was directing the people to evacuate, when he suddenly heard Jia Xu's shout, and when he turned around and saw Jia Xu coming on horseback, he asked Huang Zhong and Gai Xun to continue to maintain law and order, and he greeted him.

"Strategist, you didn't guard the camp well, why did you come here?"

Jia Xu turned over and dismounted, and before he had time to salute, he opened his mouth and said: "Liu Yu is dead, and his subordinate Tian Chou came with more than 8,000 subordinates to attach himself to the lord, praying that the lord would send troops to avenge Liu Yu." ”

Lin Nan had already heard the scout's report, or rather, Liu Yu's death was indirectly killed by him, and he knew Liu Yu's character, but he didn't stop it. His face was calm: "Well, I know everything, I just want to know, who did Liu Yu die at?" ”

Jia Xu hurriedly said: "According to Tian Chou. At that time, Liu Yu, Zhu Jun, and Huangfu Song set up a big tent to entertain Lu Bu, Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, Liu Biao, and Gongsun Zhan. Gongsun Chan and Liu Yu had long had a disagreement, so they took the opportunity to kill Liu Yu. Liu Biao was shocked at the time, and as soon as he saw this situation, he immediately fled, and after returning to the barracks, he withdrew his troops back to Jingzhou. Xian Yuyin and Tian Chou were present at the time, Gongsun Yue killed Xian Yuyin, and when Yan Gang wanted to kill Tian Chou, Tian Chou escaped with his life. He led 10,000 soldiers to attack Gongsun Zhan, but his soldiers were all infantry, and he couldn't defeat Gongsun Zhan's white horse righteous servant, so he took the remnants of the soldiers to defect to the lord. ”

Lin Nan pondered for a moment and said to Jia Xu: "You go back to sue Sù Tianchou, this revenge must be avenged, but not now, you must rush back to Youzhou in front of Gongsun Zhan." You ask him to bring a few relatives back to Youzhou. Spread the news that Liu Yu was killed by Gongsun Zhan, and asked him to go back to Zhang He and Xian Yufu. Raise troops together to attack Youbeiping, and Gongsun Zan must not be allowed to return to Youzhou. ”

Jia Xu turned around and left, got on his horse and galloped out.

Lin Nan secretly thought in his heart at this time: "The heroes of the world, most of Luoyang died in a scuffle, and now the only ones who have strength are Cao Cao, Ma Teng, Lu Bu, Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, Liu Biao, Sun Jian, Liu Xuan, Gongsun Zhan, Tao Qian, Han Fu, Liu Yan and others, it seems that they will fall into a real struggle for hegemony in the future." I have to go back to Youzhou as much as possible. ”

Along the Luoshui River in the south of Luoyang City, corpses were scattered all over the place, and blood flowed like rivers. Luoshui runs east-west, and after entering this section of Luoyang, the river turns a corner. A north-south trend has been formed. As a result, the soldiers and horses of Lü Bu and Yuan Shu were on the west bank, and the soldiers and horses of Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan and Liu Biao were on the east bank. Liu Biao was afraid because Gongsun Chan killed Liu Yu, so he took the initiative to withdraw his troops back to Jingzhou, which caused Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zhan, Lu Bu, and Yuan Shu, who originally had a great advantage, to form a confrontation and temporarily stop fighting.

At dusk, when the sun was setting, a fiery red sunset appeared in the sky, shrouding the entire Luoyang City in a bloody color.

In Lu Bu's camp, Lu Bu and the generals were all discussing, and the temporary truce allowed these tough men to get a certain rest.

"Uncle Zhi, what the hell is going on? Why did our soldiers and horses fight with Yuan Shao and them? As soon as Lu Bu came back from Hangu Pass with Dong Zhuo's head, he heard that Yuan Shao was attacking his subordinates, and without saying a word, he immediately started the battle, but from noon to night, he still couldn't figure out what the battle was for, because he didn't have the opportunity to ask, and he didn't even figure it out when Liu Yu mediated.

Zhang Yang couldn't answer squeakily, and his face was a little embarrassed.

At this time, Chen Gong, who came to take refuge with Zhang Miao's subordinates, stood up and arched his hand towards Lu Bu and said: "General, when the incident happened suddenly, I only know that all the princes were fighting for the jade seal in the palace, and as a result, the princes fought in the palace, which led to this melee. ”

"Are you...... Chen Gong under Zhang Miao? Lu Bu saw the man sitting at the end, so he asked.

Chen Gong nodded and said, "However, from today onwards, I will follow the general." The general's soldiers are brave and good at fighting, and they are extremely brave, but the only thing missing is a strategist, if they can get my assistance, the general will definitely be able to dominate the world! ”

Zhang Yang hurriedly said: "Yes, Fengxian, when you were not there, fortunately, there was a public platform here, and under his strategy, we and the state soldiers reduced a lot of losses." ”

Lu Bu glanced at Chen Gong and said with a smile: "Okay, then you can stay." You just said the jade seal, but is it the jade seal of the country? ”

Chen Gong nodded, and Zhang Yang also agreed.

"It's strange, the little emperor is obviously in Ma Teng's hands, why did he even forget to bring the jade seal of the country." Lu Bu couldn't figure it out, so he hurriedly asked, "What about the jade seal?" Where is it now? ”

Zhang Yang said: "I went to fight, but I didn't grab it, I only know that the last people to come out are Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao, as for whose hands the jade seal is, the two Yuan both accuse each other, and they both say that it is in each other's hands, but in whose hands it is, no one knows." ”

Lu Bu suddenly said angrily: "So many people died, just to grab the jade seal, but until now I don't even know whose hands the jade seal is, what kind of battle are you fighting, if the jade seal is in Yuan Shu's hands, then wouldn't we fight with Lu Bu in vain?" Wang Kuang was killed by Liu Biao, and now that Liu Biao is gone, it will be in vain for us to continue fighting. Don't forget, you killed Yuan Yi, then Yuan Yi and Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao are brothers. Now Yuan Shu is friendly to us on the surface, but who knows if this person will hack us. Yuan Shu even wants to kill his own brothers, let alone us. Pass my order, withdraw the troops, return to the state, whether you want the jade seal or not is not a big problem for me. If I really want to be the emperor, I can still be an emperor without a jade seal. ”

Chen Gong hurriedly said: "The general's words are reasonable, such as among the heroes today, Sun Jian, Liu Xuan, Cao Cao, and Lin Nan did not participate in the war, and Liu Xuan, Sun Jian, and Cao Cao have all withdrawn their troops and gone back, we should also evacuate here as much as possible, return to Bingzhou to recuperate for a period of time, recruit troops, and then make another plan." ”

"That's it. The whole army set up camp overnight and let Eryuan fight here. My father's revenge has been avenged, and I have nothing to worry about. My father-in-law said that although Luoyang is good, it is not a place where I should stay for a long time, so let's go back to Merge State. Lu Bu said very resolutely.

After the order was issued, the remaining 20,000 people of Lu Bu's army pulled out the camp overnight and quietly retreated.

At the same time, in the city of Luoyang. The people are still evacuating, and the families and wealthy families who have an affair with the Yuan family come out. was immediately temporarily charged and prevented from letting them report to Eryuan, and as soon as Zhu Jun died, Shisun You took Zhu Jun's place and led the soldiers to guard the south gate. Lu Zhi knew that after Lin Nan secretly evacuated the people, he also joined the ranks of directing the people to evacuate.

sub-hours. The ten wealthy merchants took all their possessions in an orderly manner, pulled the carriage with mules, and transported all their belongings out of Luoyang City.

By the time of the second day of the first month, Luoyang City had become an empty city, and Lin Nan also ordered the withdrawal of troops back to Youzhou. And announced that those who were willing to follow him back to Youzhou would follow, and those who were unwilling to leave would stay, and in the end, in addition to the ten rich merchants, there were more than 30,000 people who were willing to follow.

Shisun You evacuated the soldiers in the city, and together with Lin Nan's subordinates and the disciples of the ten wealthy merchants, he took on the escort mission, and withdrew towards the north. Before leaving, Lin Nan also deliberately released the scouts of Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Gongsun Zhan and other princes who had come to inquire about the news.

With a crooked road and a long way home, Lin Nan began to embark on the return journey with ten wealthy merchants, more than 300 people, and more than 26,000 soldiers. In addition, there are officials like Gai Hoon and Roh Sik who are tired of living in Gyeonggi.

Lin Nan rode on horseback, looked at the long dragon of people, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "I came to crusade against Dong Zhuo, but I didn't expect it to become a migration when I went back, with the wealth of the ten rich merchants as the pillars, the day of dominating the world will not be too far away." ”

Soon after Lin Nan left, Luoyang suddenly caught fire, and the flames soared into the sky, enveloping the entire Luoyang City, turning Luoyang City into a scorched earth......

Lin Nan stood on the bank of the Yellow River with a single horse, looking at the surging Yellow River, and his heart was melancholy. Looking back, looking at the people who were struggling to take steps under the protection of the soldiers, I felt a little more responsible.

A fire in Luoyang left more than 100,000 people hiding in the Beibi Mountains homeless, and the Eastern Han Dynasty, which had been founded for more than 100 years, completely came to naught.

It's been a day, and the fire in Luoyang is still burning, and the two palaces in the north and south, as well as the official residences, are all burned out under the devouring of the fire dragon. More than 100,000 people in Luoyang City began to flee one after another, and about 50,000 people followed Lin Nan's footsteps closely, willing to follow him to Youzhou and Jizhou to avoid chaos.

Seeing this situation, Lin Nan suddenly came up with the scene of Liu Bei crossing the river with his people, the difference was that he did not chase the soldiers, but faced the turbulent Yellow River. There were very few boats at the wharf that could cross the river, blocking Lin Nan's footsteps from crossing the river, and in desperation, Lin Nan had to order a temporary stationing on the bank of the Yellow River and order the soldiers to step up the construction of ferries.

"Gotta ......"

A fast horse came from the bottom of the hillside, and the knight on horseback turned over and dismounted, hurriedly climbed to the high post where Lin Nan was, and said with his fists clenched: "Lord, the scout has already found out the news, it was Yuan Shu who set the fire." ”

"Yuan Shu? This damn bastard, Lao Tzu worked hard to save the people of Luoyang from fire and water, but he burned Luoyang City, Lao Tzu ......" Lin Nan's face was already flushed with anger, and the anger that he had endured for a long time completely exploded at this moment, and he kept cursing Yuan Shu in his mouth.

The knight who came to report the news was Lin Yang, he was half-kneeling on the ground, his hands were clenched into fists, and he looked at Lin Nan with a very surprised look, it was the first time he had seen Lin Nan so angry.

Lin Nan scolded indiscriminately, as long as the foul language he thought of was used in the pie, when he finished scolding Yuan Shu out of breath, he looked down and saw Lin Yang's expression of surprise, and then he realized his gaffe. He calmed down, calmed the anger in his heart, and asked, "What else is going on in the direction of Luoyang?" ”

Lin Yang said: "Lu Bu withdrew, it was Mengjin who left, and he didn't tell Yuan Shu when he left, so that Yuan Shu was defeated by the coalition forces of Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan, and had to retreat, and went in the direction of Nanyang. Now Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan are temporarily stationed in the southern Hebei City, and their two soldiers and horses are also seriously injured, and it is estimated that they will have to be repaired for a while. ”

"Got it, let Li Tie continue to closely monitor the movements of Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan, we are now blocked by the Yellow River, and 50,000 new people have come to take refuge, and without a day's effort, we can't ferry nearly 100,000 soldiers and civilians to the north bank of the river."

"No!"

"By the way, you go and call Jia Xu, Xun You, and Guo Jia to call over, I have something to tell them."

"No, my subordinates will call the military advisor and a few gentlemen."

Lin Nan turned over and dismounted, the wind was whistling in his ears, and there was a depression in front of him, Zhao Yun and Tai Shici's soldiers and horses were stationed on both sides of the road, Huang Zhong led people to camp on the bank of the Yellow River, Chen Zhi and Wen Ping took soldiers and craftsmen recruited from the people to cut down a dense forest to build a ferry, Gai Xun, Lu Zhi, Xu You, Cui Yan, Zhong Xuan, and Xun Chen pacified the people, and Shi Sun Rui, Shi Sun You and the ten wealthy merchants were responsible for distributing food, and they were all so busy.

Not long after, Jia Xu, Xun You, and Guo Jia arrived one after another.

Lin Nan saw that everyone had arrived, and he didn't pay attention to it so much, so he sat on a big rock and said to the three people in front of him: "The fire in Luoyang has not been extinguished until now, and the people in the city have fled to the surrounding counties one after another, and now 50,000 people have followed us, this number is beyond my imagination, after crossing the Yellow River, we must first find a place to settle down for a rest." On the other side of the river is Wen County in Hanoi County, I want you to cross the river first, go to Wen County, persuade the county order, and prepare a wide foothold for us, which of you would like to go? ”

Guo Jia preemptively said: "Lord, Xiao Ke is willing to go." ”

Jia Xu shook his head and said, "Let's go, I heard that there is a Sima clan in Wen County, a talented person, I will visit the Sima clan by the way, if I can persuade them to submit to the lord, it will be of great benefit to the lord to govern Youzhou." ”

A smile appeared on Xun You's face, and he habitually stroked the green beard on his chin, and said slowly: "I see that you all don't fight, leave this matter to me, Hanoi Sima and I have old friends, Sima Fang once served as Jing Zhaoyin, and I had several encounters when I was the Huangmen squire." I heard that when Dong Zhuo entered the army and the third auxiliary, Sima Fang would rather die than surrender, Dong Zhuo felt that he had integrity, so he did not kill him and let him go. Sima Fang returned to his hometown in Wenxian County. And the county order of Wen County is Sima Fang's brother, and if he wants to persuade Sima to take refuge in the lord, this matter is none other than me. (To be continued......)
