Chapter 233: Burning Luoyang
Jia Xu said: "Prime Minister, you should withdraw from Luoyang immediately." ”
Dong Zhuo nodded his head, this time he didn't hesitate.
At this point, if you don't withdraw, just wait to be dragged to death by Xu Ding and others.
However, he still asked: "It's just that at this time, Xu Ding and the others have entered the city, and it is difficult for us to withdraw, as soon as they withdraw, they will bite up, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to retreat safely to the pass." ”
Once they catch up, not to mention the loss of soldiers and horses, those treasures and grain and grass are what Dong Zhuo cares about the most, and these things must not be left behind.
Jia Xu smiled and said: "Prime Minister, this is simple, since Beigong can't be owned by us, it's better to set it on fire, and use the fire to block the advance of the coalition army to the south of the city." ”
"Wonderful! Wen and this plan is very good! Dong Zhuo stood up and stroked his palms and laughed.
Jia Xu's plan is really simple and effective.
So Dong Zhuo immediately sent someone to order the fire, he not only wanted to burn the North Palace, but also the Yonghe Palace to the east of the North Palace and the Maolong Garden to the west.
In short, all the places where the North Nom noodles were set on fire, whether it was the palace or the mountains and forests, were all burned.
If you want to do it, you have to do it ruthlessly.
At this time, Li Ru said: "Prime Minister, it will take at least a day or two for the fire to be extinguished, we can take the opportunity to withdraw some soldiers and horses, take away some people's strength and grain and grass, and the rest, after the fire in Beigong is extinguished, we will ignite Nangong and the entire Luoyang City, and by the way, drive all the people who refuse to go with us in, and see if Xu Ding and others are saving the people or saving the little emperor." ”
Set fire to Luoyang City, this was planned by Li Ru a long time ago, and Dong Zhuo also agreed.
Therefore, Li Ru's Dong Zhuo unconditional support.
Dong Zhuo is also looking forward to how Xu Ding, Cao Cao and others choose.
Is it to choose loyalty, or to choose benevolence.
Just do it, Dong Zhuo immediately arranged manpower.
That night, he personally commanded his troops and horses, and went away with all the treasures he had excavated.
After dawn, Guo Yan and Li Wei escorted the princes and ministers and the second batch of Minzhuang to leave.
Then, after nightfall, Li Ru, Fan Chou, Zhang Ji and others took the little emperor Liu Xie and some civilians away.
Lu Bu and others took cover in the back.

"Damn, Dong Zhuo actually set fire to the North Palace." Xu Ding angrily scolded Dong Zhuo for being shameless, and then ordered his subordinates:
"Go and inform the others, retreat to the valley gate, and at the same time push all the buildings within a thousand steps south of Taicang and the arsenal, to get out of the fire belt, the others and I will put out the fire first, it is best to delay."
Then Xu Ding led people to extinguish the fire, and at the same time asked people to carry the archives and classics hidden in the Beigong Palace.
These are all valuable materials, extremely precious, and it is a pity to burn them.
"Dong Zhuo's old thief is too vicious, he will be punished." Zhang Miao cursed a few times, and then retreated to the valley gate with his men.
Cao Cao looked at the burning fire and sighed in his heart.
The dignified imperial capital palace burned down like this.
Dong Zhuo is really a hero, and he does everything.
If it weren't for Xu Ding, Cao Cao really wanted to shout a few times, and would rather call me to bear the people of the world than to let the people of the world bear me.
It's just that because of the appearance of Xu Ding, there are too many things that have changed.
Many people have been greatly affected, and the current Cao Cao can't say this.
After rescuing the information, in the end, Xu Ding also led his troops to retreat to the vicinity of the valley gate, and his face was blackened a lot.
The fire in Beigong burned for a day and a night, and the fire weakened in the evening of the next day.
It took another whole night before it gradually died out.
At this time, Xu Ding and the others were preparing to attack south from the ruins, but a worse situation happened.
Nangong also caught fire, and the raging fire engulfed the beams and pillars of the wooden structure.
Nangong is newly repaired by Spirit Emperor Liu Hong, and it hasn't been a few years yet.
spent hundreds of millions of dollars on him, and his heart hurt so much that his liver hurt.
What's worse is that there will be smoke all over Luoyang City next.
"Not good! Dong Zhuo wants to run, he wants to burn the whole of Luoyang. ”
On the tower of the valley gate, seeing the smoke constantly rising from the city, Xu Ding's heart suddenly burst.
"Xiaoliu is offline, Xiaoba is online immediately!"
As early as when the sneak attack was closed, Xiao Ba, who was on the line by lot, was replaced by Xiao Si.
So Xu Ding hurriedly asked Xiao Liu to change to Xiao Ba, and let Xiao Ba go to this free place.
"Ding! Xiaoliu began to go offline, and Xiaoba will serve the master below! ”
"Ding! Xiaohachi has successfully launched the line, and the following is served by Xiaobachi as the master! ”
"Ding! Your friend Dong Zhuo made a speech......"
"Ding! Your friend Yuan Shao made a speech......"
Sure enough, Xu Ding opened a little, and Dong Zhuo really ran away.
"Hahaha, Xu Ding thief, I thought I had arrived at Hangu Pass, you came to chase after you, and if you can catch up with Prime Minister Ben, you will win."
Dong Zhuo's can't say one, there is another one below;
"Xu Ding, Cao Cao, Sun Jian, you bastards, what Lao Tzu can't get, you can't think of it, Li Ru is behind the little emperor, I want to see if you are saving the little emperor?" It's still those mud legs who saved Luoyang City. ”
This story is accompanied by two sets of pictures.
One of the groups was full of old and weak women and children who had been imprisoned in the house by the Xiliang army, and they were facing the engulfment of the fire and began to cry and wail!
There is also a group of little emperor Liu Xie, Liu Xie is crying in the east, showing helpless, pitiful and expectant eyes, probably waiting for Xu Ding, Cao Cao, Sun Jian and others to rescue him and be a real Ninety-Five.
"Meng De, Wentai, Meng Zhuo, Li Ru is behind with the Son of Heaven, and there is a high probability that the Son of Heaven will be able to welcome back the Son of Heaven at this time, and at the worst of all, he will be able to bite Dong Zhuo's 120,000 soldiers and horses." Speaking of this, Xu Ding closed his eyes, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Cao Cao and Sun Jian glanced at each other, a little nervous.
However, seeing that Xu Ding didn't move, he didn't squeak either, waiting for his next step.
Xu Ding saw that the three of them didn't move, so he opened his eyes and said to the south: "However, there is no need to worry about the safety of the Son of Heaven, Dong Zhuo didn't dare to kill him, so ...... I want to fight the fire, Xing, all kinds of suffering, death, all kinds of suffering, this time I want to be unfaithful......"
After speaking, Xu Ding got down to the city tower and took everyone to fight the fire and save people.
Cao Cao's hearts were fierce for a while, and Sun Jian looked at Cao Cao.
Then Cao Cao also sighed, pushed the sword into the scabbard and said: "The rise and fall of the people are bitter, I have always felt that what Bo Kang did was right, this time, I Cao Cao is also disloyal......"
Cao Cao took people to fight the fire and save people.
As soon as Cao Cao left, Zhang Miao was also anxious to say: "I always feel that Meng De is doing the right thing, I ...... I'm not faithful ......."
Zhang Miao didn't have a few soldiers left, of course, he was the head of Cao Cao's horse and followed him. strand back.
Sun Jian glanced at the west, then at the east again, and also pushed the sword into the sheath and scolded: "Niang Xipi, this battle is really Niang Xipi, go, put out the fire......"
"Uh......!" Sun Ce's face twitched on the side, his father hadn't said this swagger for more than ten years.
Fortunately, this time Dong Zhuo, Li Ru and others set the fire in a hurry, and Xu Ding and others were in the city, and they used the fastest speed to put out the fire, and the loss was not as big as in history.
However, because there were more people to save than in history, it was still impossible to stop the spread of the fire, and in the end, there were still as many as four people and three people in the entire Luoyang City who were burned into ruins.
"Lord, we found a dry well when we were fighting the fire in Nangong, and we heard someone calling for help, and when we rushed over, we found that there was an official girl under the well, and when we rescued her, she seemed to have fainted and lost her breath, according to what you said before, it is likely that she fainted to death by suffocation."
Suddenly, someone came to report to Xu Ding, who was fighting the fire in a nearby palace.
