Yuan Shaojun, who was originally parallel to Liu Zhang's army, immediately overwhelmed Liu Zhang, and after a while, he disappeared in front with Gongsun Zhanjun; Not long after, even Liu Dai and others, who were desperately chasing behind, caught up with Liu Zhang, and Liu Dai also invited Liu Zhang to advance together, but he refused on the grounds that the troops were tired and could not speed up the gallop.

Seeing the crowd sweeping away the sweat, their faces were pale, and the staggered friendly troops surpassed Liu Zhangjun in batches, Dian Wei and the others were very puzzled and raised questions.

Liu Zhang said: "What's the hurry? Even if it is advanced, what can Luoyang do? Luoyang is the capital of my Han Dynasty, and every grass and tree in it is a holy thing, can it be that those who advance the city can collect loot on a large scale? So what kind of rebels are we? What's the difference with banditry? ”

Dian Wei said: "Didn't the prince say that Dong Zhuo would hijack and flee to Chang'an?" The saints are no longer in the capital......"

"The saint is just leaving temporarily, and he will return to Luoyang after our army defeats the Dong thief! What's more, you see, the flames are soaring in the direction of Bishui Pass, it is obvious that this is the enemy's plan to replace the soldiers with fire. Liu Zhang said: "Besides, if the Dong thief burns the pass to block my allies, won't he burn Luoyang?" In that year, Xiang Ji burned Afang Palace, and the fire continued for three months! If the fire in Luoyang starts, when will it be extinguished? The allies are all loyal to the Han family, and they will never bear to be burned to the ground, so they will inevitably send troops to extinguish the fire, so how long can the Dong thief fight for his retreat? ”

Speaking of this time, Liu Zhang suddenly thought that the first city he lived in this era, the imperial capital of the Han Dynasty, one of the most prosperous cities in the world today, was about to be destroyed by war, and then thought that Dong Zhuo had moved all the people before retreating, killing wantonly on the way, and countless innocent people were unjustly killed...... Liu Zhang's mood suddenly became heavy.

Seeing that Liu Zhang was in a low mood, everyone didn't say a word and buried their heads in the march.

Nearly half of the previous run had been taken, and the remaining half had arrived in more than an hour, even at a normal marching speed.

From a distance, I saw a black earth in front of the pass, and when I got closer, I realized that it was not black land, but the verdant grass was full of allied soldiers in black clothes and black armor, these people after a long run, one by one almost exhausted, when the general ordered to rest, immediately fell into a piece, many of them fell down and foamed at the mouth, dozens of them never got up again!

Seeing the appearance of the friendly army, Dian Wei and Xu Chu secretly laughed directly, if it wasn't for Liu Zhang's wisdom, maybe their own soldiers and horses would also have the same virtue as them!

The only decent teams were Sun Jian and Yuan Shao, whose soldiers and horses came the earliest and had the most time to rest, and at this time they had already breathed a sigh of relief; Gongsun Zhan's soldiers and horses are also very neat, but they have traveled dozens of miles long distances, and they have no horses, and they control the horses purely with the power of their legs, which is also a difficult task for the riders, but they are still much better than the infantry, and they have recovered at this time.

Liu Zhang's neat appearance appeared next to the allies, and some people immediately hated him, it was obvious that this kid knew that Dong Thief set fire to the pass, but he didn't tell everyone, and everyone was busy for a long time!

After more than an hour, the allies had eaten dry food, and the fire on the closed area gradually began to weaken, and Liu Dai immediately ordered the princes to send 2,000 soldiers and horses to fight the fire.

Liu Zhang looked at it, every general he saw lowered his head, obviously, for the militants, they are on call to fight, but let them go to fight the fire, they feel a bit "not doing their job", and the firefighting, one by one, will inevitably be disgraced, in this way, is it a little lost face in front of other generals?

Liu Zhang looked at it, and finally handed it over to Liao Hua, who has always worked hard and complained.

Liao Hua respectfully accepted the general's order, and led the two thousand elite soldiers under his command to begin to extinguish the fire.

After more than an hour of hard work by 30,000 soldiers carrying water and soil, the fire on the gate was finally suppressed, and the passage of the city gate was cleared.

Although the princes complained, but thinking about it, Bishui Pass is like this, I am afraid that I will not be able to get any benefits when I get to Luoyang, so I will not make it difficult.

The fire of Bishui Pass was not completely extinguished until the evening, and the city gate was destroyed in the fire, Liu Zhang led the strategists and generals to step on the charcoal soaked in the water, looking at the wisps of green smoke rising up and down the city and the wolf all over the ground, and walked into the former Xiongguan Pass! The glorious Xiongguan of the past no longer exists, leaving everyone with ruins and ruins, only the Songshan Mountain and the Yellow River in the distance are still verdant and majestic, surging!

Liu Zhang immediately ordered the whole army to eat dry food on the spot, and then immediately advanced to Luoyang.

After a short time, the soldiers began to advance to Luoyang after being fed, and although the princes were greatly interested, they did not want to be left behind, so they led their troops to Luoyang.

The next day and night, the princes arrived at the sacred, * land of the Han Dynasty! It's a pity that Luoyang at this time is almost an empty city, Dong Zhuo after a burning, killing and looting, the people of the whole city are like cattle, tied up and embarked on the road to Chang'an, he is not willing to give a complete city to the allies, so he ordered a burning city! Fortunately, in addition to his orders issued to the Xiliang Army, he also gave them to the Luoyang Old Army, these Luoyang Old Army was originally the elite soldiers of Chaoyan, and the duty was to guard Jinggi, and they who had been stationed in Luoyang for a long time had a lot of feelings for Luoyang City, and they couldn't bear to see her burned down, and many officers and soldiers' homes were in Luoyang City, and they were even more reluctant to see their homes burned down, maybe one day they could return to Luoyang! Therefore, they disobeyed Dong Zhuo's order to burn the city, prepared sufficient fireworks, but secretly soaked them in water, and poured water on the fires in advance, making it difficult for the fire to spread...... It was their selfishness and righteous deeds that made Luoyang City escape the catastrophe, well, only half of it! The Xiliang Army faithfully carried out Dong Zhuo's order, and they didn't feel sorry for it! However, Luoyang City is too big, although there are many fires, but they cannot immediately spread to the whole city, and Sun Jian's army arrived in a very timely manner, under the command of Sun Jian, thousands of soldiers and horses joined the ranks of rescuing the capital, and many people who were lucky enough to escape Dong Zhuo's search and arrest were not willing to live a homeless life after that, and joined the ranks of firefighting under Sun Jian's persuasion!

The princes set up a camp in the west of the city, and the princes went to discuss the matter on the orders of Liu Dai, only Sun Jian was still in the city to extinguish the fire, and there was no time to separate.

As soon as Cao Cao arrived, he proposed to pursue Dong Thief in order to save the holy driver, civil and military officials and the people, and Yuan Shao and others immediately proposed that the army had entered the long march and was physically exhausted and could not fight.

Cao Cao said angrily: "Raise righteous people to punish the riot, the public has been united, why do the princes doubt? Now that Dong thieves have fled westward, how dare I speak hard as a Seoul? If I can't save the car and return to the capital, my generation is worthy of being a subordinate? ”

Kong Rong said: "If we chase too much, forcing Dong Thief to jump over the wall and hurt the Son of Heaven, how can we explain to the world?" ”

Yuan Shao also said: "Wen Jugong's words are reasonable, not to mention that at this time, Luoyang City is on fire on all sides, if it can't be extinguished, the imperial capital will be deserted, and the people will be displaced. It's better to extinguish the fire in Luoyang first, and then discuss the rescue in the long run! ”

Yuan Shao and Kong Rong's words were immediately responded to by the princes, and Cao Cao was furious: "The erection is not enough to plan!" "Then you will be out of the bill.
