Chapter 221: Ten Thousand Taels of Gold

The fire burned Luoyang, these four words suddenly popped out of Cao Xing's mind, and the whole person suddenly woke up in his sleep.

Cao Xuan sat up, wiped the sweat on his forehead, his eyes were a little flustered, he couldn't wait to slap himself twice at the moment, he went to drink every day for the past two days, his brain was drunk, and he forgot such an important thing.

Don't look at what Yuan Shao said well, he is already preparing soldiers and horses, but what Yuan Shao means is that he is ready to fight a good battle with Dong Zhuo, divide one superior, and bet on life and death, so whether it is food, grass and military supplies, as well as the distribution of soldiers, it is a big problem, and it will take several days to complete the distribution of hundreds of thousands of people.

However, Cao Xing, who has historical foresight, knows that Dong Zhuo will not fight with you at all, and directly led people to burn Luoyang, and ran to Chang'an, so Yuan Shao's preparation at the moment was undoubtedly wasting time, as soon as he thought of this, Cao Xuan immediately jumped out of bed, and Che Wu and Chen Hu were also awakened.

"Lord, what's wrong!" Che Wu and Chen Hu hurriedly ran over and asked.

"Go to Yuan Benchu immediately and ask him to send troops." After saying this, Cao Xing just wanted to leave, but when he just took a step, Cao Xing stopped, and then became anxious and paced back and forth in place.

First of all, it is not the leader of the alliance, and it has no right to ask Yuan Shao to do this, and secondly, Cao Xuan also knows that his relationship with Yuan Shao is not good, even if he states the pros and cons to Yuan Shao, what will Yuan Shao believe in him, so Cao Xuan estimates that Yuan Shaoli will not pay attention to him this time.

Cao Xuan paced anxiously in place, and after a while, Cao Xuan finally looked at Che Wu and Chen Hu, and said to them, "Go find Meng De and Wentai." ”

If you ask Cao Xuan why he only looks for Cao Cao and Sun Jian, the reason is very simple, just because Cao Xuan knows that the princes of the Nineteenth Road have ghosts in their hearts, and no one wants to use their own strength to fight Dong Zhuo, because in this way, it is undoubtedly weakened by their own strength, but there are two exceptions, one is Sun Jian, and the other is Cao Cao.

Although Cao Cao was called a traitor in troubled times by later generations, others at least for the time being, wanted to be a loyal minister of the Han family, otherwise he would not have issued a document against Dong Xuan, as for Sun Jian, he was even more brave.

All the checkpoints leading to Luoyang were beaten down by someone else, Sun Jian alone, if it weren't for the back, Sun Jian was overshadowed by Yuan Shu's guy and lost his morale, otherwise he would definitely shine.

In the middle of the night, Sun Jian and Cao Cao were both asleep in a daze, but they were forcibly pulled up by Cao Xing, Cao Xuan told them that Dong Zhuo was going to burn Luoyang, Cao Cao was so shocked that he didn't know what to say, and Sun Jian's temper was even hotter, and he slapped the table and said loudly, Dong Zhuo, that dog thief, does he dare to do this?

Luoyang is the capital of the Han Dynasty, Dong Zhuo burned Luoyang with a fire, wouldn't that be the enemy of the entire Han Dynasty?

However, under Cao Xing's repeated explanations, both Sun Jian and Cao Cao felt that Dong Zhuo, who was already at the end of his rope, might really be able to do this, and if he really let him burn Luoyang, it would be troublesome, so the two of them finally agreed with Cao Xing's statement and went to find Yuan Shao together.

Yuan Shao can ignore any of the three of them, but now that they are three people, and then explain to Yuan Shao the seriousness of the need to send troops immediately, in other words, the three of them are no longer asking Yuan Shao for instructions, they should be forcing the palace.

Seeing these three guys so rampant, Yuan Shao was angry, especially when he learned that this matter was still provoked by Cao Xing, he gritted his teeth with hatred, and finally Yuan Shao also waved his hand and said directly to Cao Xing and others.

"Now the army is still in the preparation stage, you can't go out at will, if you are in a hurry, you can send troops now, then take your own troops to Luoyang!"

Now that Yuan Shao had agreed, Cao Xing and the others no longer hesitated, and took their soldiers and horses to Luoyang.

Originally, Cao Cao and Sun Jian were still suspicious of what Cao Xuan said, after all, they now have almost only more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in their hands, and 10,000 people go to fight such a big city, isn't that looking for death?

It's just that when they didn't get close to Luoyang, they found that Luoyang was already full of flames, shouting and screaming, and it had become a mess, seeing this, Cao Cao and Sun Jian completely believed Cao Xing's words.

Now there are very few defenders defending at the head of Luoyang City, and their order is also chaotic, so Cao Xing and the three of them joined forces together and concentrated on attacking a city gate, and after a short time, the city gate was forcibly knocked open by them.

Cao Xing, Cao Cao, Sun Jian, and the three of them rushed into Luoyang City as soon as possible, but in Luoyang City, there were flames everywhere, and countless soldiers held torches, where they set fire to the residents' houses, and those people stood outside and kept wailing, begging the officers and soldiers to let them not burn their houses, but these officers and soldiers were ruthless and unreasonable, pushed these people away, and told them to go to the West City Gate immediately now, ready to move to Chang'an.

Seeing this, Sun Jian was completely blown up, he didn't say a word, he was furious, and waved his hand to directly shout to his subordinates: "Dong Zhuo, that bastard, dares to do such an angry thing, brothers follow me into the palace and take Dong Zhuo out of eight pieces!" ”

And Sun Ce behind Sun Jian is also a militant, seeing his father so angry, Sun Ce also responded, and then, Sun Jian's troops also aroused their fighting spirit, and they all followed Sun Jian and quickly killed the palace.

When Cao Cao saw this scene, he was a little worried and said: "Wentai is too reckless, Cao Xing, I will leave half of the soldiers and horses to you first, and I will go to support Wentai first!" ”

Cao Cao put down half of his soldiers and horses, and then took the other half of his soldiers and horses and rushed in Sun Jian's direction.

And when Cao Xuan saw this scene, he was also stunned in place for three seconds, watching those soldiers burn and loot, Cao Xuan only felt angry, and then waved his hand to Chen Hu, and asked Chen Hu to directly take the soldiers, kill all these inhumane soldiers, and help the people to extinguish the flames in the city.

Chen Hu took his Xuanhua big axe, and without saying a word, he quickly ran towards the two Xiliang sergeants, and then cut them to the ground with an axe, and the soldiers behind Chen Hu also followed Chen Hu's example.

There was a fierce battle at the Luoyang City Gate, and Cao Xing and Che Wu were also involved, how many people were on Dong Zhuo's side? This is not clear, after all, it is under the black light.

But what is certain is that the Dong Zhuo soldiers here now are not very high-minded, they are just burning, killing, captive and rape, and there is a sense of excitement, and when they meet Cao Xing's vital force, they immediately retreat.

What's more, this group of soldiers seemed to know that they were going to retreat to Chang'an this time, and it seemed a little uneconomical to throw their lives here, so these Xiliang soldiers did not make much resistance, and all retreated in the middle of the night.

At this moment, Cao Xuan was holding his broad-headed knife, standing in place covered in blood, looking at the people around him, many people were sitting on the ground and crying at this moment, and a sense of pity rose in Cao Xing's heart.

After Dong Zhuo came to Luoyang, he was indeed too reckless, and now he is alone in all this.

Although Cao Xuan wanted to help these people, but now all Cao Xuan has done is to help them repel the Xiliang soldiers, thinking of this, Cao Xuan sighed helplessly, and then looked at Che Wu next to him, and then said: "Remember the address I told you before!" ”

Hearing this, Che Wu nodded, and then Cao Xuan waved his hand to him, signaling that he could go, Che Wu immediately gathered two thousand cavalry and quickly ran in one direction.

And at this moment, Cao Xing was carrying his broad-headed knife like this, walking aimlessly on the street, and the people around him were already in a panic, everyone was dragging their families and running around on the street, and the whole scene looked messy.

Cao Xuan rode a horse like this, slowly walking aimlessly on the street, but as he walked, he seemed to see a weak figure, and at this moment, next to that figure, there was a huge carriage.

Because the street was so crowded, someone had already crushed the carriage, and a large pile of books poured out of the carriage at once.

And when the weak figure saw this scene, the whole person was almost crying, only to see her hand quickly pick up the books, and then hold them in her arms.

There were just too many books scattered on the ground, and countless people's feet stepped on them, making the books muddy, and the girl could only cry and scream for the people around her not to pay attention to these books.

When Cao Xuan saw the girl clearly, he couldn't care so much, and directly Pegasus crashed into the pedestrian, and then came to the girl's side, and helped him up The girl was none other than Cai Yan.

Cao Xuan immediately came up as soon as he waved his hand, and Chen Hu immediately surrounded this place, and he was not allowed to let the people around him trample on the books here.

When Cai Wenji saw Cao Xing for the first time, she was stunned for a moment, and after she confirmed that the person in front of her was Cao Xing, she cried out and fell into Cao Xing's arms.

Looking at Cai Yan's weak and helpless appearance, Cao Xing's hands couldn't help but gently pat Cai Wenji's back, touched his hair, and signaled Cai Wenji not to be afraid, and to say something slowly.

Cai Yan finally stopped crying, and then told Cao Xuan what happened.

As Cao Xing expected, Dong Zhuo ordered Luoyang to be burned, not only letting his soldiers rob the people everywhere, but even letting his subordinates hijack all those who had status and fame in the court. So Dong Zhuo naturally won't let go of these people.

That night, there were more than a dozen soldiers who were five big and three thick, forcibly kicked open the door of Cai Yan's mansion, and then went in to arrest Cai Yong. Only Cai Yan was left crying helplessly in the back.

Although the current turmoil made Cai Yan afraid, he also remembered in a trance what he had said, she must be strong now, and now her father has been arrested by Dong Zhuo, but Cai Yong's status is very high. Even if he is caught by Dong Zhuo, there should be no danger. So Cai Yan doesn't have to worry about it now.

Cai Yan first called the family members in his house, went out to take a look at the outside world, and found that those officers and soldiers were burning, killing and looting everywhere, Cai Yong also immediately decided to abandon all the things in the house, but there is one thing that must not be lost, that is, books.

Cai Yong was in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and the collection of books at home has tens of thousands of volumes, which can be said to have gathered the handwriting of the world's scholars.

That is the accumulation of Cai Yong's life, and it is also Cai Yong's most valuable wealth, Cai Yan also regards this kind of wealth as his own life, so he immediately pulled a carriage and loaded all these books into the carriage, no matter what, she must keep these books and not let these books be lost.

But the current situation is too chaotic, Cai Yan's strength is too weak, so that it has led to the current situation, looking at a large number of books on the ground, Cao Xing's heart is also extremely emotional.

However, he still looked at Cai Yan and said, "Wen Ji, don't panic, you must be strong!" ”

After hearing this, Cai Yan also showed a smile on his face and wiped the tears on his face. Then he looked at Cao Xuan and said, "Master Cao, I have something I want to entrust to you!" ”

Cai Yan pointed to the carriage of books and said to Cao Xing: "Dong Zhuo is extremely arrogant, now, I want to forcibly arrest my father to Chang'an, although I also want to transport all the books at home to Chang'an, but I estimate that it backfires, and I can't leave my father's side for too long, after all, he is now old, so I want to ask you to accept all these books!" ”

Cao Xing heard these two thoughts, the first of all, Cai Yan actually wanted to go to his father Cai Yong in such a chaotic situation, is it a little dangerous? However, Cao Xing thinks about it, it is said that after Cai Yong arrived in Chang'an, life was not very good, under Dong Zhuo's strong persecution, he still had to obey Dong Zhuo, and finally Dong Zhuo was boiled to death, Situ Wang Yun controlled the power of the court, and Cai Yong died depressed under the control of Situ Wang Yun.

Therefore, Cai Yong does seem to need Cai Yan's company now, and Cao Xing also feels that if he guesses correctly, at this time in history, Cai Yan should have married Wei Zhongdao, but because of his arrival, Wei Zhongdao is completely out of play, so he has to help Cai Yan in both public and private.

Cao Xuan looked at the stack of books, and to be honest, he really felt a little excited in his heart. It is because in this era when education is not popular, this stack of books and Janes can be compared to ten thousand taels of gold.
