Luoyang, located in the north of Luoshui, the north of the water is called "Yang", so the name Luoyang.

Luoyang is located in the Central Plains, the mountains and rivers in the territory are vertical and horizontal, and there is the danger of the Yellow River, and Luoyang is based on the Tiger Prison Pass in the east, Hangu Pass in the west, Funiu Mountain in the south, and Pishan Mountain in the north, surrounded by mountains, Xiongguan stands in a forest, and it is very strategic.

Now, Dong Zhuo has given up Luoyang and headed west to Chang'an.

When Wang Lei, Cao Cao and others arrived in Luoyang with their troops, Dong Zhuo had already left. Everyone entered the city, and their hearts gradually became heavy. The city's prosperity is gone, replaced by a sense of devastation. Looking at it, it is lonely and dashing, desolate and cold, giving people a feeling of endless sadness, like a bleak autumn wind, and like a withering winter.

Pedestrians are rarely seen on the streets, and even when they do, they are ragged people dragging their tired bodies along.

The whole Luoyang is full of endless fatigue.

Such a state made Wang Lei's heart tight.

Wang Lei's brows furrowed into a Sichuan character, and he rode forward slowly, looking at this thousand-year-old capital as he walked. The majestic city tower has scorch marks, and the top is even more pitted, full of vicissitudes and desolation. Many of the houses in the city have also been burned or damaged, and they are no longer in good condition.

Everything is desolate.

"The great national capital has become like this, Dong thief should be killed!"

Cao Cao had an indignant look on his face and clenched his fists.

When Dong Zhuo left Luoyang, Dong Zhuo not only took away the food and equipment in Luoyang, but also excavated the tombs of the first emperors of the past dynasties, and took away all the gold and silver jewelry and other valuable things that accompanied the funeral.

When the group came to the outside of the palace, everyone stopped and stood.

At this moment, everyone held their breath, because what came into view was a scorched earth.

Cao Cao turned over from the war horse, walked step by step to the burned palace, looked at the palace that had become a scorched earth, suddenly, Cao Cao knelt on the ground, knocked his head on the ground, and his hands were lying on the ground, choking and said: "Dong thief is so arrogant, but the minister is helpless, the minister Cao Cao is ashamed of the first emperor, the minister is incompetent......"

At this moment, Cao Cao was lying on the ground and crying.

In the voice, there is endless desolation.

Wang Lei turned over and dismounted and helped Cao Cao up, he could feel Cao Cao's body trembling constantly, because the Son of Heaven was in trouble, because the royal family was robbed. At this moment, Cao Cao, the future traitor, is still dedicated to the country, and the opportunities in life are indeed wonderful, such a person who is loyal to the Han Dynasty has gone to the opposite side of the court in the future.

Wang Lei patted Cao Cao on the back and sighed lightly: "Brother Meng De, crying is useless, if you are a man, you will stand up, use your useful life for the benefit of the country, and strive to pacify Dong Zhuo as soon as possible." ”

"Yes, yes, we will immediately move our army westward and attack Dong Zhuo!"

Cao Cao wiped the tears from his eyes, calmed his excited heart, and his eyes were full of fighting spirit.

"Alas......"

Wang Lei sighed lightly, with helplessness in his eyes.

Cao Cao chuckled in his heart and asked, "What's the matter, why is the virtuous brother sighing?" ”

Sun Jian was also quite puzzled, in Sun Jian's eyes, Wang Lei was a talented and capable young boy. Not only that, Wang Lei often smiles, his face is not worry-free, he is an optimist. Wang Lei was suddenly like this, and Sun Jian immediately had a bad premonition in his heart, thinking if something had happened?

Sun Jian was worried in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "Brother Xian, what happened?" ”

Wang Lei sighed lightly: "The alliance leader has sent a message asking me to withdraw my troops immediately!" ”

"What?"

Cao Cao and Sun Jian were surprised at the same time, with an incredible look in their eyes.

Cao Cao asked again, "Why?" ”

Wang Lei's expression was solemn, and he said slowly: "The alliance leader said that Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu had withdrawn their troops privately, and the alliance leader wanted to persuade the two to stay, but he couldn't persuade them." After Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao withdrew, one after another, Sun Zhan, the Taishou Gonggong of Beiping, Tao Qian of Xuzhou, Liu Dai of Yanzhou, Wang Kuang of Hanoi, etc., all the princes have withdrawn. Now, there are only one or two people left, only the three of us are still fighting, and the rest are busy with their own affairs. ”

"Bastard, stupid, how can he withdraw his troops? Ahhh......h

Cao Cao shouted angrily and beat his chest.

Sun Jian's face was pale, and his expression was cold.

Wang Lei knew that this news would hit Cao Cao and Sun Jian hard, but this was indeed Han Fu's order.

By now, Han Fu had discovered that something was wrong with the situation in Jizhou.

After Cao Cao vented, with a look of hope in his eyes, he said expectantly: "Brother Xian, you send a message to tell the alliance leader, just say that if you give us a little more time, we will definitely be able to go west to Chang'an and defeat Dong Zhuo." He looked at Sun Jian and asked expectantly, "Wentai, what do you think?" ”

Sun Jian nodded and replied, "I agree!" ”

Cao Cao was overjoyed in his heart and said, "Brother Xian, what about you?" Do you dare to fight with us? ”

Wang Lei said: "Brother Mengde, I can't fight with you!" ”

"What...... You, you, you...... Why? Can't you just let it go for the sake of the country? ”

Cao Cao was anxious and said loudly: "During my time in Luoyang, Dong Zhuo was extremely arrogant, unscrupulously killed the queen mother, and killed the prince. After Dong Zhuoli became today's son, he was even more bold, often entering the palace to defile the palace concubines and palace maids, and did not take the royal family in his eyes...... Up to now, Dong Zhuo has taken the Son of Heaven west to Chang'an, burned the foundation of the Han Dynasty, and excavated the imperial tombs of the previous emperors. Shouldn't such a person be killed? Isn't such a person worthy of your Wang Lei's sacrifice? ”

Cao Cao was crazy, with a deep disappointment in his eyes.

In Cao Cao's heart, he has always treated Wang Lei as a confidant. Because after he fled from Luoyang, he wanted to contact the princes of the world to crusade against Dong Zhuo together, but Han Fu, who was the first to find him, ruthlessly rejected him, which made Cao Cao desperate. At that time, it was Wang Lei who gave him hope, it was Wang Lei who pointed out the way to the future, and Cao Cao rose up, so that today's princes are begging for Dong.

When crusading against Dong Zhuo, he and Wang Lei fought side by side, like brothers.

At this time, Wang Lei wanted to quit.

In this way, it is tantamount to a sharp knife suddenly inserted into Cao Cao's heart, making Cao Cao feel the pain of piercing his heart.

Obviously the person who is most likely to help, but they have to part ways.

Wang Lei was very calm, and asked lightly: "Brother Meng De, I know that your ambition is to help the society, but do you know my situation?" Do you know about me? You can go out for the sake of crusading against Dong Zhuo, you can go out for the sake of righteousness, that's because after you go out, you still have a strong backing behind you to rely on. But after I get out, who will give me a strong backing? I'm all backed by a group of people, I can't fall, I only have to rely on myself, no one gives me shoulders. ”

"Boom!!"

A blast of thunder rang out, and dazzling lightning swept by, shocking people's hearts.

"Whoa!!"

The pouring rain fell, and the bean-sized raindrops fell on Cao Cao and Wang Lei, wetting their clothes and their hearts. Two people who know each other are in a particularly complicated mood at the moment.
