With more than 1,000 soldiers, Xu Chu and Cao Cao parted ways and stepped into the avenue outside the palace.

When he first came to Luoyang, Cao Cao also personally explained to him which one was taken by the people of Qianshou and which one was taken by the ministers, but now as far as the eye can see, there is no trace of people, only some foxes and hares are running between the broken streets and houses.

Xu Chu clearly remembers that there were originally some bronze statues of nearly a foot tall on these streets, or bronze camels, or human statues, but now they are gone. I don't even ask, I know that it should have been taken by Dong Jun and melted into coins or weapons.

People in the team, such as Guo Jia and Xi Zhong, who had been to Luoyang, sighed in their hearts, and those who had not been here were also amazed that Luoyang, the capital of the gods, had become such a hell on earth.

"Zhicai, I came to Luoyang with you before, what a grand occasion it was at that time, with millions of households, crowds, and often teenagers gathering on the street, waving their sleeves into clouds, rubbing shoulders one after another. But now this prosperous god capital has become such a ghost! ”

Xu Chu stood with his hands in his hands, looking at the devastation, constantly shaking his head and sighing.

Continue to move forward, through the dilapidated palace gate into the palace city, there is no trace of popularity inside, and there are broken walls and ruins everywhere. Walking inside, you can see palace maids and waiters who have fallen to the ground at any time, and you can also meet some wild dogs and other beasts, lying on the rotting corpses and gnawing, and constantly barking at Xu Chu, Guo Jia and others.

Xu Chu was upset in his heart, and ordered someone to take a bow and shoot them to drive these wild dogs away.

Getting rid of these annoying beasts, Xu Chu couldn't bear to look at them, and left some soldiers to clean up the miserable situation in the palace, and then left the palace and went to Zongmiao and Sheji.

Zongmiao and Sheji are in the south of Luoyang City, out of Zhengyang Gate, it doesn't take long to walk, you can see it from afar.

The temple and the shrine, which symbolize the inheritance of the empire, are also dilapidated, and Guo Jia was shocked when he saw this: "This ...... Even though the Dong thief is tyrannical and impermanent, he even dares to destroy the temple and the society! In addition to the anger, a sad feeling jumped between his eyebrows.

Guo Jia and Xi Zhong are not Confucian scholars in the true sense, but before the sacred and majestic Zongmiao and Sheji, it is difficult for the two to restrain their emotions. That's right, both of them questioned the rules of this world, why the big families of the family have been able to enter the house for generations, but the children of the poor family have been waiting for the end of their lives. They also have no respect for today's son like Xun Yulai, and their feelings for the Han family are the same.

But no matter what, the two of them are the people of the Han Dynasty after all, that is a plot imprinted in the heart until death, how can you not be angry when you see the Sheji Temple being destroyed like the private houses and official temples on both sides of the street?

Sentimentality is not suitable for characters like Guo Jia and Xi Zhong, after they were sad for a while, they retracted their thoughts, pointed to the tragic situation in Luoyang City, and said: "The city is like this, it is not suitable for the army to be stationed, it seems that during this time, the soldiers can only temporarily live outside the city and wait for the news." ”

......

The news that Xu Chu and Cao Cao had recovered Luoyang in one fell swoop reached the world, and the princes were shocked.

They couldn't imagine that Xu Chu and Cao Cao could do this, let alone that Dong Zhuo's army was so 'vulnerable'.

Hanoi, Yuan Shao camp.

At this time, Yuan Shao had already rushed to the front line to watch the situation in person, but what he didn't expect was that the development of things would turn so quickly, so after receiving Cao Cao and Xu Chu's joint forces to recover Luoyang, his face suddenly changed.

Feng Ji, Xu You, Guo Tu, Xun Chen, Bao Xin, Chun Yuqiong and others are all present in the account.

At the moment when Yuan Shao's face changed, Guo Tu happened to stare at Yuan Shao, so at the moment when Yuan Shao's color changed, Guo Tu keenly captured the change in Yuan Shao's heart, and said in his heart: Okay, Xu Chu and Cao Mengde's invasion of Luoyang will definitely cause disgust from the riders.

He got up and left the table, deliberately pretending to be very happy, and said to Yuan Shao: "Congratulations to the general!" ”

Yuan Shaoqiang smiled and said to Guo Tu: "What are you happy about? ”

Guo Tu shook his beard and said: "Cao Mengde and Xu Zhongkang joined forces to break the big valley and collect Luoyang, Luoyang is both Ke, Chang'an is in sight, and welcoming the Son of Heaven is just around the corner, and the world is happy for it, isn't this a great joy?" ”

Yuan Shaoxin said: This is the credit of Cao Cao and Xu Chu, what does it have to do with me. His face remained silent and said, "What the public said is that it is indeed a great joy. ”

"Besides, this time to discuss Dong, it is still mainly based on the general, and the credit of Cao and Xu is also the credit of the general, which can really be described as double happiness!"

Yuan Shao smiled, pointed at Guo Tu and scolded with a smile: "Am I the one who takes the credit from others? Don't laugh at the public. ”

Guo Tu said: "The general is tolerant and humble, and the subordinates admire him to the extreme. With that, he returned to his seat and sat down as if he had said nothing.

Guo Tu's performance fell in the eyes of Xun Chen and Bao Xin, and both of them thought: How much hatred Xu Hou has with Guo Tu, making him so provoking the relationship between Yuan Cheqi and Xu Hou.

Yuan Shaogui was the leader of the coalition army, but he did nothing in the battle against Dong, except for Wang Kuang's defeat, he only sent troops to the river twice and made a gesture. Compared with Xu Chu and Cao Cao, Yuan Shao really has no credit at all, but now he is still being congratulated by Guo Tu in a weird way, you can imagine what Yuan Shao feels like in his heart.

In addition to Xun Chen and Bao Xin, Wang Kuang has a big opinion on Yuan Shao recently. He was loyal to Yuan Shao, and took the initiative to ask to go to the front line to fight against Dong Jun Fengrui, but after the war, Yuan Shaoyi did not respond and sent troops to reinforce him in time, and second, after his defeat, he actually only said a few words of relief, neither funded his troops, nor allowed him to send troops to shame, which made Wang Kuang very cold. Now seeing Guo Tu's words to provoke the relationship between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao and Xu Chu, Xu Chu is okay, Cao Cao's relationship with him and Yuan Shao is very good, but looking at Yuan Shao's expression, it seems that he has been moved by Guo Tu's words, how can such a person be the master? At that time, he had the intention of leaving Yuan Shao to stand on his own.

Wang Kuang glanced at Xun Chen secretly, but when he saw Xun Chen bowing his head and pondering, he couldn't help but smile secretly: Xun Wenruo Wang Zuozhicai was squeezed out by Xu You, Feng Ji and others, and Yuan Benchu was not allowed to reuse it, but he Xun Youruo, although he was also talented, was slightly inferior to Xun Wenruo, and was not secretly forced away by Xu You, Feng Ji and others...... But looking at his expression, it seems that he also has the intention of leaving Yuan and returning to the county? It's ridiculous that Yuan Benchu is the fourth and third dukes, and everyone expects to return, but it makes his ministers want to run away one by one.

Wang Kuang was right, Xun Chen did have the idea of leaving Yuan Shao, but he was different from Xun Yu, after Xun Yu returned home, he didn't know what his intentions were, but Xun Chen thought about it, if he could return to the county this time, he would go to Cao Cao to recommend himself.

Before the discussion of Dong, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were the most powerful, Liu Dai, Zhang Miao, Wang Kuang and others, Xu Chu and Cao Cao were all congenitally defective princes, and they could not be compared with these people, but now the situation has begun to change.

Especially Cao Cao, after defeating Dong Zhuo and recovering Luoyang, it is foreseeable that his name will be able to shake the world soon after, and he will be able to stand out among the princes of Shandong with this merit alone, and then rely on his accumulated contacts and fame to make a big difference. You must know that Cao Cao had no territory before, and now he not only has Yingchuan as his foundation, but also has a reputation for begging Dong, and the shishu in the county must be very supportive of him.
