Chapter 317: Dong Zhuo withdraws
After returning to the camp of the Jiangdong Army, Sun Yang first arranged Zhao Yun under the tent of Dian Wei, Sun Yang wanted to give Zhao Yun a deputy general, but Zhao Yun refused, he hoped to rely on his ability to make meritorious contributions step by step, Sun Yang and Dian Wei were reluctant but Zhao Yun had to pinch his nose and admit it, but it was impossible to let him be a chief with Zhao Yun's ability, and he could only arrange Zhao Yun to become a hundred chiefs under Dian Wei.
Zhao Yun was very satisfied when he heard that he started as a centurion, but Sun Yang and Dian Wei were not so happy, they knew very well that with Zhao Yun's current ability, even if he was a general, it would not be too much, and a centurion was still a little condescending, but since Zhao Yun was willing to start from the bottom, then let him go, but it was foreseeable that Zhao Yun's promotion would be very fast!
Get Zhao Yun, Sun Yang is happy here, but some people are not so happy, such as Liu Bei!
On the second day after Sun Yang took Zhao Yun away, Zhang Fei wanted to get to know Zhao Yun first, but it turned out that Zhao Yun had already followed his uncle in the Jiangdong Army to defect to the Jiangdong Army yesterday! After Zhang Fei got the news, he was so angry that he beat his chest, but he didn't expect them to be a step slower!
After Zhang Fei told Liu Bei and Guan Yu the news, Guan Yu's performance was not much different from Zhang Fei, but Liu Bei was much better, after all, he had not seen Zhao Yun with his own eyes, and his impression of Zhao Yun was completely from his two brothers. Liu Bei didn't think much about it in his heart, but he just felt a little regretful, he will still have talents in the future......
When the coalition army was resting, Dong Zhuo had already left the Tiger Prison Pass at this time, and there were 10,000 Xiliang troops and Niu Fu Xu Rong and other generals who went with him, and the destination was naturally Luoyang City, but this time it was not so simple, Dong Zhuo brought this 10,000 Xiliang Army to empty the entire Luoyang City!
On the fifth day of the rest of the coalition army, Dong Zhuo returned to Luoyang City with an army of 10,000, and only one day later, Dong Zhuo gave an order that he was really spurned by the whole world, that is, within five days, the Xiliang Army would copy all the money and property of all the rich families in Luoyang City, and the ordinary people Dong Zhuo did not ask for it, but the cruel Xiliang Army also added this order to the ordinary people, and within five days, Luoyang City became a paradise for the Xiliang Army to burn and kill!
According to later statistics, within five days, the people of Luoyang who were killed by the Xiliang army alone were tens of thousands of people!
Dong Zhuo not only wants to rob Luoyang City, but also wants to force the people of Luoyang to move to Guanzhong! After robbing the people of Luoyang, the Xiliang army began to forcibly let the people of Luoyang pack up their things and follow them to the land of Guanzhong, and those who do not obey will be killed! So, as soon as this order was given, there was another scream in Luoyang City, and the people were killed and injured countless times!
Do you think that's the end of it? Dong Zhuo's evil deeds are far more than these, Dong Zhuo not only wants to rob Luoyang, he also wants to kill Luoyang! After all the people and property were moved out of Luoyang, under Dong Zhuo's order, under a fire, Luoyang, the most prosperous city in the world, the capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty for more than 200 years, was reduced to ashes!
Some people will say that Cao Cao is the first blatant tomb robber in history and started with stolen property, but in fact, before Cao Cao, Dong Zhuo was the first person! In order to make up for the deficit and savings in the past few years, Dong Zhuo even frantically instructed people to steal several imperial tombs of the Han family!
Although Dong Zhuo did this very secretively, but paper can't contain the fire, the news quickly spread all over the world, there is nothing in this world than being dug up his ancestral grave The most hateful thing in this world is that Dong Zhuo did this lack of virtue but caused a deeper rebellion among the elders of the Han family, Dong Zhuo is digging his own grave!
When Dong Zhuo moved the people of Luoyang. The coalition army has also finished recuperating and started a strong attack again, but the effect of this attack is far less than that of the first strong attack, and there are many reasons for this result, one is that the morale of the coalition soldiers who have not been able to attack for a long time has been greatly affected, and the attack is naturally unfavorable; Second, the daily consumption of the 300,000 army is naturally a lot, and now the food and grass of the coalition army have begun to run out, and the soldiers can't eat their stomachs, so what strength can they have to fight?
Encountering this situation, there are also different voices within the Kwantung princes, since they can't attack for a long time, it is better to withdraw the army, and when they recover their vitality in the coming day, it is not too late to do this again!
There is no way, the attack is unfavorable, Yuan Shao also temporarily stopped the strong attack and began to stabilize the army's heart, Yuan Shao knows very well that if the army is withdrawn at this time, it will undoubtedly give Dong Zhuo a chance to breathe, if he comes again in the future, I am afraid it will not be so smooth, Yuan Shao is unwilling to withdraw the army in his heart, even if he wants to withdraw the army, at least he must take Luoyang before he can withdraw the army!
The coalition army stopped attacking, the happiest is the two people who defended the city, Lu Bu and Hu Zhen, you must know that they are now under a lot of pressure, after Dong Zhuo took away more than 10,000 people, at this time the number of troops in the Tiger Prison Pass is less than 50,000 people, and the morale is even more low, if it is not for Lu Bu and other generals to take the lead, I am afraid that the Tiger Prison Pass will be lost!
On the third day after the coalition forces stopped attacking, Lu Bu and Hu Zhen decided to withdraw their troops, because Dong Zhuo had already taken the people of Luoyang to Tongguan at this time, and their cover task was over.
So, taking advantage of the night, the remnants of the army in the Tiger Prison Pass withdrew from the Tiger Prison Pass overnight, and kept moving towards Tongguan, only after entering Tongguan, they could really come down safely!
The news that the Tiger Prison Pass had become an empty city was not discovered by the coalition forces at the first time, and it was not until the third day after Lu Bu and others retreated that the coalition finally realized that something was wrong, and they hurriedly sent people to the Tiger Prison Pass to check, which was to find that the Tiger Prison Pass had become an empty city, and the night coalition army was stationed in the Tiger Prison Pass.
The sudden withdrawal of the Xiliang Army also aroused the vigilance of the coalition forces, and Yuan Shao sent dozens of scouts to the land of Luoyang to investigate, he wanted to find out, what Dong Zhuo wanted to do, once the tiger prison was lost, could Dong Zhuo in Luoyang still be able to hold it?
A few days after the coalition forces were stationed in the Tiger Prison Pass, the scouts also sent the news of Luoyang back, but this news caused an uproar among the coalition forces! The huge Luoyang City was destroyed by Dong Zhuo overnight! Now the entire Luoyang City is empty, and the surrounding villages and towns are also empty!
After reacting from this news, a practical question is that it is in front of the coalition forces, at this time Luoyang has been destroyed, Dong Zhuo has retreated to Tongguan, is it still meaningful for them to march into Luoyang at this time? Do they still want to attack Tongguan?
Obviously, it is impossible to attack Tongguan, even if they have this intention, they don't have this ability! In addition, after several months of fighting, the soldiers began to miss their homeland, so most of the princes in the coalition began to propose to withdraw their troops, and this time Yuan Shao couldn't hold it back!
After a simple notification to Yuan Shao, in just one day, the princes of the coalition army withdrew more than half of the troops, and the last people who stayed were either still holding a wait-and-see attitude, or holding the opinion of continuing to attack, of course, those who insisted on continuing to attack, in addition to Cao Cao and Sun Jian, even Yuan Shao began to wait and see!
It is impossible for Cao Cao and Sun Jian to continue to stay here, and at this time, this alliance is already in name only, the two of them just reported to Yuan Shao, they gathered the army and marched towards Luoyang, their idea is that even if they can't capture Tongguan, they must not let Dong Zhuo retreat so easily!
