In Luoyang City, it is no longer prosperous, and many houses are empty.

Someone like Xu Shu and Cui Jun had already left one step ahead of schedule.

But more ordinary people were forced by Dong Zhuo to transfer to Chang'an.

As a 200-year-old Kyoto, Luoyang has a permanent population of 500,000.

Even before this, tens of thousands of people had fled, but in the end, 400,000 people were coerced by Xiliang soldiers to Chang'an.

From Luoyang to Chang'an, the road is tortuous, and it is almost a thousand miles away.

For the army, it is not a difficulty, but for ordinary people, this road is an ordeal.

They dragged their families, especially the elderly and children, and many died on the road.

Moreover, many of the family's belongings were robbed by Xiliang soldiers, and it was difficult to eat enough every day.

And even if they survive to Chang'an, they will have nothing, and they will have to start working again, and all the efforts of the previous decades will be in vain.

The hundred officials and the emperor and most of the people of Luoyang went first, and Dong Zhuo was still doing the final sweeping work in Luoyang at the moment.

Before, more than a dozen envoys were sent to say that Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were surrendered, but most of these envoys were killed by Yuan Shao.

After deciding to move the capital to Chang'an, Dong Zhuo didn't think about leaving anything for Yuan Shao and them.

He will take everything in Luoyang that can be taken, and destroy everything that cannot be taken.

Lu Bu is still in the Tiger Prison Pass for the time being, but Sun Jian is already thirty miles away from Luoyang City after all.

Dong Zhuo personally led Niu Fu, Duan Wei and others to stop Sun Jian in the imperial tomb.

At the same time, Dong Zhuo ordered the soldiers to dig up the imperial tomb and steal the treasures in the imperial tomb.

He wouldn't leave Yuan Shao with a single thing.

After stealing all the treasures in the imperial tomb, Dong Zhuo had almost taken away everything he could take.

In Luoyang City, the last group of people, also under the "escort" of the Xiliang soldiers, began to set off towards Chang'an.

Dong Zhuo was also evacuated from the imperial mausoleum.

Lu Bu of Tiger Prison Pass and Li Dao Guo Yan of Bishui Pass also received orders and began to evacuate with their men and horses.

Lü Bu didn't want to evacuate, but Dong Zhuo had already left Luoyang with his people and emptied Luoyang, if Lü Bu continued to stay here, he would only become a lone army, and in the end he was defeated by the alliance army due to lack of food and grass.

I really wanted to be able to continue fighting Zhao Yun, but Lu Bu still evacuated from the Tiger Prison Pass with his men and horses.

Sun Jian set off for Luoyang, which had become a sea of fire, as soon as possible.

Yuan Shao and other princes, after confirming that Lü Bu had retreated, also rushed into Luoyang with their men and horses.

Zhao Hui didn't expect that he had only been here for a while, and Dong Zhuo would retreat.

Luoyang City was in ruins, and there was nothing to fight for.

Yuan Shao and others rushed to Luoyang in a hurry, but Zhao Hui was the last.

Sun Jian's men were the first to rush into the still burning imperial city.

Although Dong Zhuo wanted to take everything he could with him. But there are still some omissions.

Yuan Shao and the others also entered with Zhen, and all of them began to search in the imperial city to find what they wanted.

And the fire is still burning, but no one has to save it.

After Cao Cao did not enter Luoyang, he did not stay for a long time, and he suggested that the other princes go together to pursue Dong Zhuo.

But Yuan Shao had already achieved his goal and was unwilling to pursue Dong Zhuo again.

The other princes were also busy searching in the imperial city, and they had no intention of caring about Dong Zhuo at all.

This is indeed a good opportunity to pursue Dong Zhuo, but Zhao Hui knows that Dong Zhuo has already arranged for someone to break off, and Cao Cao is doomed to fail when he pursues this time.

After guessing that Dong Zhuo would send someone to break off, there were not a few people who ambushed the pursuers.

Yuan Shao also told Cao Cao to be careful of being ambushed, but Cao Cao did not listen.

Even if he knew that Dong Zhuo would send someone to ambush, Cao Cao still had to go.

Timidity is not Cao Cao's style. When it is decided, he will not change his decision-making because of other people's speculation.

Zhao Hui naturally did not follow, if Yuan Shao was willing to lead all the princes to pursue Dong Zhuo together, there would definitely be no problem with this decision.

Dong Zhuo was coerced by hundreds of thousands of people, and the marching speed along the way would be very slow, Yuan Shao and the others could completely follow behind, constantly harass Dong Zhuo, and slowly eroded Dong Zhuo's troops.

However, Yuan Shao was unwilling to pursue, and only relied on Cao Cao and Zhao Hui's more than 10,000 people to pursue rashly, and the whole army was wiped out in an ambush.

Zhao Hui did not follow Cao Cao to pursue Dong Zhuo, but led people to extinguish the fire in Luoyang City.

Although under Dong Zhuo's persecution, hundreds of people left their homes.

But the hundreds of thousands of people in the city, after all, some are hiding, unwilling to follow to Chang'an.

The houses were burned, the belongings were taken from them, and the people who remained in the city were left with nothing.

Then some people either starved to death, or became homeless and wandered around.

In the war, the most innocent people are these ordinary people.

Just because Dong Zhuo didn't want to continue the fight with the coalition army and decided to move the capital, hundreds of people left their hometowns and their families were ruined.

Now that Zhao Hui has arrived in Luoyang, it is impossible to watch these people starve to death.

The duties of a soldier have long been engraved in their bones.

In the face of these homeless people, Zhao Hui will help them as much as possible.

Maybe just a glass of water can save a life.

The sooner the fire is extinguished, the more people will survive.

But for this fire, Zhao Hui only has 10,000 people, and it is impossible to completely extinguish it in the first place.

They could only bring water from the moat, and they couldn't even do it with a bucket.

Some people are fighting the fire with all their might, and some people are looking for the survivors in the city.

When Dong Zhuo left, the fire was set off very suddenly.

Groups of Xiliang cavalry rode through the empty streets on war horses, throwing torches in their hands into the surrounding houses.

And the people who were hiding didn't know that these Xiliang soldiers were setting fire to it at the beginning, and they didn't dare to show their heads at all when they heard the sound of horses' hooves outside.

By the time they noticed that the house was on fire, it was too late for many people to want to go out.

The fires of the houses were extinguished, and Zhao Hui could see a blackened corpse in the ruins from time to time.

Dong Zhuo's violence hidden in his heart for many years was completely released.

Maybe he already knew that there were no more valuable things in the palace, or maybe the ones that Dong Zhuo left out were now also snatched by the soldiers.

Yuan Shao and other princes finally ordered the soldiers to extinguish the fire and clean up the ruins first.

Zhao Hui gathered the people who had not yet died together and distributed food in a unified manner.

In Luoyang City, there are really not many people who survived, only a few thousand, which is not as many as the number of soldiers in the hands of those princes.

It's just that Zhao Hui can give them a bite to eat now, but how they should live in the future is the biggest problem.

Here in Luoyang, it is no longer suitable for human survival.
