"What?" Guo Yan, who has always thought that he is ruthless, exclaimed again after hearing the words.
"Actually, there is a reason for the Taishi to be like this.
First of all, Luoyang has been the capital of the Han Dynasty since Guangwu, and the wealth it has accumulated over the past hundred years can be said to be innumerable, if all of them fall into the hands of the alliance of Yuan Shao's princes, this will undoubtedly greatly enhance their own strength.
And more importantly, only by doing so can we delay the attack of the princes' coalition forces, so as to win enough time for us to calmly leave Luoyang and move to Chang'an, and then lay a solid foundation for the future comeback of the Taishi.
Ladies and gentlemen. Although the Taishi's decision this time is a bit biased, this is also a last resort, so immediately follow the Taishi's instructions to act separately!
Now the situation in front of us in Luoyang is extremely critical, and time is extremely precious for us, so buying a little more time for us will provide enough guarantee for us to leave Luoyang calmly! Li Wei, who seemed to be looking for an excuse for what was going to happen next, quickly said to Xu Rong and the others.
When Xu Rong and the others heard this, they were silent for a long time.
……。
"Click!" With a loud bang, the originally magnificent vermilion lacquerware gate was smashed into pieces.
"You...... What are you doing here? The old man who woke up from his sleep, who was still a little disorganized and dressed in a foreign robe, looked at what was happening in front of him, and some of his rich figures trembled slightly, and the look on his face was even more frightened and asked.
Looking at the uninvited visitors who stood in front of the old man and forcibly broke into the door in the middle of the night, I saw that there were hundreds of people, and these hundreds of people were all heavily armed soldiers holding torches and looking at him coldly.
It's no wonder that the old man looked so frightened when he saw this.
"Outside, someone reported that you had secretly harbored the rebel of the imperial court-Wang Yun, and I came to arrest you and others tonight on the order of the Taishi!" A sergeant said with a false face, his face not red, and his heart did not beat.
"Your Excellency! The old man's family are honest businessmen, how dare they harbor the court repeat offenders, and I hope the adults will see it! The old man cried.
However, after all, the old man has been in business and prostitution for many years, although he has not participated in politics, he has been in the eastern capital of Luoyang almost all his life, plus the ** of the court bureau in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and some officers and soldiers have staged such things before, but there is no such a big formation.
"My lord, it is really hard for you to arrest the felons late at night, and the old man gave him a hundred taels of gold to show his gratitude.
I hope you can laugh at it! The old man quickly took out two ingots of gold and said with a smile.
When the officers and soldiers led by the leader saw the two ingots of gold, their eyes showed an extremely greedy look, and suddenly remembered in their minds what they had explained above, if they messed up, then ...... would sober up in an instant.
"You dare to bribe General Ben, I think you are impatient!
Don't talk nonsense, quickly hand over the traitor Wang Yun, otherwise you won't be able to eat and walk around! The sergeant reprimanded him for being arrogant and unreasonable.
"My lord, the villain really didn't harbor the prisoner!
Wronged! It's really wronged! "Outside of the old man, he never thought that the tried and tested methods before would not work this time, and he was really dumbfounded now.
And he didn't harbor Wang Yun at all, how could he hand it over now, so he had to cry.
This Dong Zhuo is a pre-formulated wording excuse for grafting Wang Yun, how could they hand over Wang Yun.
"It seems that you people are toasting and not eating.
Come on, these people harbor the traitor Wang Yun and refuse to hand it over, so it will be regarded as an attempt to rebel, and these people, regardless of men, women, and children, will be killed on the spot! The sergeant continued to accuse himself.
Now the felony of "intent to rebel" has been added.
"My lord, I am wronged! The little one is really wronged! ”
"Flutter!" "Ah......h The old man screamed outside and watched the sharp blade inserted into his chest.
"Hmph, I'm sorry for the outsider, who is to blame for making you so rich?
Ha ha......! The sergeant said in his ear as he was dying.
With the blood-stained blade pulled out of the outsider's body again, the old man's body on the side of Luoyang Fujia fell to the ground, causing the old man's eyes to widen.
seems to be angrily denouncing these "robbers" who do nothing evil, as if they are silently terrorizing Dong Zhuo's atrocities, and as if they are telling outsiders about his grievances,......。
The women who were helpless could not have escaped the slaughter of these soldiers.
A moment later, after slaughtering all the people of the family, the sergeant said, "Confiscate all the gold and silver of the family!" ”
After these "robbers" returned with a full load, only broken broken arms were left everywhere, and there were corpses everywhere where blood was still flowing, and some were even convulsing,......。
Originally, a happy and prosperous family was wiped out in an instant, leaving only this tragic tragedy.
"Come on, burn all these houses and corpses to me!" Still refusing to spare these innocent civilians who had died or were still teetering on the brink of painful death, the sergeant gave the order again.
This is clearly destroying the corpses and destroying the traces to cover up the heinous crimes they committed in the dark night.
However, such a human tragedy is not only this wealthy family, tonight almost all the big families in Luoyang, without exception, were slaughtered by the soldiers under Dong Zhuo's command, and the corpses were destroyed in the same way.
The calm Luoyang was "boiling" in an instant, and there was a firelight everywhere, and there was a burning and unpleasant smell wafting in the firelight.
The sky was already covered by dark clouds, but at this time, a breeze suddenly hung up, the wind helped the fire, and the fierce fire quickly began to spread to other surrounding houses, and in the blink of an eye, the whole Luoyang seemed to be plunged into a sea of fire.
And in the depths of this sea of fire, from time to time there were the screams of men and women, the sound of children crying, and the sound of running in a panic,...... intertwined with each other.
……。
"It's not good, Dong Zhuo actually ordered the entire Luoyang to be burned, and did such a heinous crime that lost the anger of the gods and gods!" Seeing that Luoyang, which was originally calm, suddenly fell into a sea of fire, the princes who were still quietly watching the progress of the siege outside the city exclaimed in disbelief when they saw the situation in front of them.
There was anger in everyone's eyes.
And Wang Tianjie, who was sitting on Hongyun, watched the tragedy that happened in front of his eyes, and his tall body couldn't help but tremble slightly at this time.
It was precisely because he knew that Dong Zhuo would make such a tragedy in history that he would burn Luoyang with the anger of the gods and gods, and prompted Wang Tianjie to forcibly break through the Luoyang defense line on the basis of exposing his own strength, the purpose was to capture Dong Zhuo in the fastest speed and shortest time, so as to avoid this tragedy, but he did not expect that it still did not change the ending of Luoyang being burned.
Facing Wang Tianjie's powerlessness as he watched the entire Luoyang fall into a sea of fire.
In fact, the occurrence of this tragedy was premeditated by Dong Zhuo, as early as after Huaxiong was killed by Guan Yu, Dong Zhuo at that time realized that it was faintly bad, in order to prevent Luoyang from being forcibly broken by Yuan Shao's princes' coalition forces, Dong Zhuo had already begun to make secret preparations for this operation just in case.
When Dong Zhuo knew that Wang Yun had rebelled and Wang Tianjie had joined the camp of Yuan Shao's coalition army, this tragedy was destined to happen.
"Dong Zhuo, this is clearly to stop the advance of our coalition army by burning Luoyang, so as to buy time for him to calmly escape from Luoyang!" In Luoyang, where the viewer fell into the sea of fire, Zhou Yu, who was beside Sun Jian, gritted his teeth and said.
"The alliance leader must not let Dong Zhuo escape this time, otherwise we will fall short this time.
Please also ask the alliance leader to immediately order the pursuit of Dong Zhuo! Yuan Shu, who heard the words on the side, immediately proposed.
And the princes like Yuzhou Thorn Shi Kong Ling, Jizhou Thorn Shi Han Fu, and Shangdang Taishou Zhang Yang also spoke out one after another in line with Yuan Shu's proposal, because Dong Zhuo caused too much psychological threat to them, if Dong Zhuo was let go, it would undoubtedly be "letting the tiger return to the mountain", once Dong Zhuo regrouped and made a comeback, the consequences were unimaginable, and now it is hard to see the opportunity to eradicate Dong Zhuo in one fell swoop, and they will not let it go.
"Alliance leader, don't ......!"
