In April 190 AD, Dong Zhuo returned to Luoyang, and immediately ordered his generals Guo Yan, Xu Rong, Niu Fu and others to lead a large army to forcibly relocate the imperial relatives and concubines in Luoyang City.

The ministers Yang Biao and Huang Wan repeatedly dissuaded, but unfortunately to no avail, but it backfired, because he was irritable in Dong Zhuo's ears all day long, which angered Dong Zhuo, and Dong Zhuo was dismissed from important positions by Huang Wan and Yang Biao due to disasters.

Wu Qiong, Zhou Yu and others still thought that the capital could not be moved, so Dong Zhuo killed Zhou Yu and Wu Qiong and others who had recommended Yuan Shao, Liu Dai and others for promotion on the grounds of communicating with the enemy.

At this point, after Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, the character of the general scholars and the old ministers of the court collapsed instantly, everyone in the court was in danger, and no one dared to be close to Dong Zhuo, only Wang Yun was not afraid of nonsense and took the initiative to show favor to Dong Zhuo.

The matter of moving west was finalized, and Dong Zhuo first sent the Son of Heaven to the west by car. Millions of people from Luoyang were forced to Chang'an with infantry and cavalry, and the roads filled with people trampled to death, trampled to death by horses, starved to death, robbed and killed.

Dong Zhuo stayed in Luoyang Biguiyuan and ordered the arrest of the wealthy merchant clan, killing them on charges and confiscating their property, and countless people died.

Looking at the countless gold, silver and jewelry, Dong Zhuole couldn't close his mouth, and Li Ru admonished again: "Lord, I heard that there are countless jewels and jade in the emperor's mausoleum, and now that we are moving west to Chang'an, we can't cheapen the Kwantung coalition army in vain." ”

After Dong Zhuo heard this, like an artillery battle, he immediately sent Niu Fu and other relatives to dig up the tombs of the first emperor and the tombs below the ministers, and confiscate the treasures inside.

After Luoyang City was looted by Dong Zhuo, it became devastated, and it was no longer as good as it used to be, before leaving, Dong Zhuo simply set fire to the Luoyang Palace Temple, the official mansion, and the home, within two hundred miles of Luoyang, the buildings were all destroyed, and there were no chickens and dogs.

In mid-May 190 AD, Liu Xie, the son of Han Tianzi, arrived in Chang'an, and because Dong Zhuo did not arrive, he assisted Wang Yun, who was close to Dong Zhuo.

Due to the blockade of the road and the lack of information, Dong Zhuo moved west to Chang'an, and the Kwantung coalition army did not know at all, and they all thought that Dong Zhuo was still in Bishui Pass, so the coalition army was demoralized and unwilling to contribute.

At the end of May, Lü Bu took advantage of the night to withdraw from Bishui Pass, and at the same time Li Dao withdrew from Dahuai Mountain, and when the coalition army learned the news, Lü Bu and others had already run hundreds of miles, and they could not catch up.

Bishui Pass.

Yuan Shao convened all the princes to discuss sending troops to Luoyang, but before he could open his mouth to discuss the matter, a small colonel walked in, knelt down in the tent and said: "Qi Qi Yuan Che ride, the big thing is not good, Your Majesty has been hijacked by Dong thieves and moved west to Chang'an, Luoyang City was burned by Dong Zhuo, the fire burned for ten days and ten nights, and now Luoyang is already a scorched earth, there is no half a figure." ”

"Ah......h

Yuan Shao's face changed greatly, he beat his chest and pointed in the direction of Chang'an, and scolded: "Dong thief, the crime is extremely evil, and this general will crush you to ashes." ”

Now there are only two choices in front of Yuan Shao, either continue to go deeper, attack Chang'an, and rescue the Son of Heaven, or disband the coalition army on the spot, go back to their own homes, and find their own mothers.

Luoyang City has changed from what it used to be, it has become a dead city, and it is in vain to go, a Bishui Pass will make it difficult for the coalition army, and now Chang'an is even more dangerous, I am afraid that it will not be able to be captured in three or five years.

Just when Yuan Shao hesitated, Cao Cao stood up and said impassionedly: "Dong thief moved west to Chang'an, it happened suddenly, there must be a lack of checkpoints and fortresses everywhere, if there is no soldier at this time, once Dong thief relaxes his breath, we will not be able to rescue Your Majesty." ”

"Yuan Cheqi, the last general thinks that he should immediately send troops to chase and kill Dong Zhuo and rescue His Majesty."

Yuan Shao's face was stunned, and he looked up at Han Fu, the assassin of Jizhou, only to see Han Fu's eyes turn and make a look at Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao immediately understood, and said: "Meng De is not afraid of repeating the mistakes and encountering the difficulties of Dahuai Mountain again!" ”

Cao Cao's heart was sour, and he was speechless, and he no longer had the slightest admiration for his former eldest brother Yuan Shao, only full of complaints.

"All the princes are the courtiers of the Han Dynasty, and now Your Majesty is in prison, when you rush to the rescue, you are hesitating, it is really against ethics, Cao disdains to be with you!"

Cao Cao threw down his cruel words, threw out his sleeves, and officially opened the situation of the dispersion of the Kwantung coalition army.

The court discussion broke up unhappily, and everyone dispersed, but Han Fu stayed.

"Yuan Cheqi, now Your Majesty is young, and he is controlled by the traitor Dong Zhuo, and he is separated from each other, and I don't know what happened to His Majesty?"

Han Fu said in a deep voice.

Yuan Shao immediately looked sad and sighed: "Now that the bones of the first emperor are not cold, Your Majesty has been held hostage by Dong thieves, and the Han Dynasty has become a country. ”

"What Yuan Cheqi said is very true, Liu Yu, the assassin of Youzhou, was originally a relative of the Han family, and he was based in Youzhou to control Liu Yi in Liaodong, so it is better to set up a new emperor and elect Liu Yu as the son of heaven to restrain Dong Thief."

After Han Fu finished speaking, he took out a jade seal from his sleeve, solemnly placed it in front of Yuan Shao, and whispered: "Yuan Che rides, this is a jade seal!" ”

Jade seal?

Yuan Shao was shocked, and hurriedly took a closer look at the jade seal, but it was not a real heirloom jade seal, but a counterfeit, because this heirloom jade seal had no missing corners and was not inlaid with gold.

The real heirloom jade seal was in the late Western Han Dynasty, when the relative Wang Mang usurped power, and the widow Liu Ying was young, and the seal was hidden in the Queen Mother of Changle Palace. Wang Mang sent his cousin Wang Shun to ask for it, and the queen mother was angry and scolded him, and threw the seal on the ground, breaking a corner of it. Wang Mang ordered the craftsmen to make up for it with gold.

"My lord, this jade seal is ......"

Without waiting for Yuan Shao to finish speaking, Han Fu said bluntly: "Yuan Che rides, the jade seal of the country has long been missing, and the world does not know its true or false, the general said that it is true, and he is true." ”

In the sixth year of Emperor Ling's reign, Yuan Shao entered the palace to kill the eunuchs, Duan Jue fled with the emperor, and the jade seal disappeared, which Yuan Shao knew very well.

Yuan Shao thought about it for a while, and instructed his cronies outside the tent: "You go and pass Zhang Qi over immediately." ”

After a while, a man dressed as a scribe walked in and said to Yuan Shao: "Subordinate Zhang Qi, see Yuan Cheqi." ”

"Zhang Qi, there is a major matter entrusted to you to handle today, if the matter is done, the general will reward a thousand gold and seal the guard of a county."

Zhang Qi was overjoyed, and hurriedly patted his chest and promised: "My subordinates will not disappoint the general of the Che Cavalry." ”

At that moment, Yuan Shao whispered to Zhang Qi, after Zhang Qi heard this, instead of being timid, he seemed very excited, he had already smelled infinite fame and fortune from it, if it was done, he would be a great hero.

Zhang Qi received the order and went to Liu Yu's military camp alone, after saluting, Zhang Qi made his intention clear, and said bluntly: "Liu Zhoumu, if there is chaos today, Your Majesty's life and death are unknown, Dong Thief is bullying the government again, and the country is in great misfortune. ”

Liu Yu immediately shouted at Zhang Qi angrily: "Today is in chaos, and the Lord is covered with dust." I was greatly grated, and I failed to clear the shame of the snow country. All the kings should work together according to their states and counties, devote themselves to the royal family, and counter the rebellion and conspiracy, and mislead the evil with dirt! ”

Zhang Qi repeatedly persuaded him, Liu Yu insisted on not accepting it, Zhang Qi was disappointed to return to Yuan Shao, Han Fu and others wanted to ask Liu Yu to lead the book, but Liu Yu still refused, and even killed Zhang Qi, the messenger, and Yuan Shao stopped.

Cao Cao returned to the camp angrily, and immediately ordered his men to pack up and prepare to return to Chenliu County.

"Report, General Zhengbei has arrived outside the camp!"

The soldiers hurried in and said to Cao Cao.

"Hurry up, please!"

Cao Cao said casually, and then said urgently: "Wait, General Ben will personally go to greet him!" ”

Cao Cao came to the camp and saluted Liu Yi with a decadent look.

Liu Yi pointed to Sergeant Cao who was packing his bags, and asked thoughtfully, "Meng De, what are you doing here?" ”

"General, Cao is incompetent, so he can only retreat one step ahead of time."

Liu Yi shouted: "Meng De is willing to send troops with me to pursue Dong Thief, no matter what the outcome is, but it also fulfills the loyalty of being a courtier." ”

Cao Cao's heart was clustered, and he immediately hugged his fists and said: "Willing to be the front!" ”

When the two were entering to discuss, Bao Xin and Zhang Miao also walked in, both willing to send troops to respond, and at that moment, four people, a total of 8,000 people, broke away from the coalition camp and headed for Luoyang.
