After dawn, the coalition army also found that the Xiliang Army on the Tiger Prison Pass had withdrawn, and Sun Jian's Jiangdong Army was also missing, and according to the spy intelligence, the Jiangdong Army set off overnight last night, obviously got the news of the withdrawal of the Xiliang Army, and was ready to go to fight for the first merit, so Yuan Shao immediately ordered the army to pull out, ready to enter Luoyang, and meet the Son of Heaven!

Dong Zhuo had already led the army out of the Tiger Prison Pass three days ago, and after returning to Luoyang, he immediately ordered to prepare to move the capital, and Luoyang has been the capital of the Han Dynasty for nearly two hundred years, and it was moved after Emperor Guangwu restored the Han Dynasty.

Dong Zhuo naturally would not listen to the words of these ministers in order to save his life, he dismissed several of the most prestigious officials in the lead, demoted them to concubines, and ordered the execution of several officials who still had to be admonished.

At this time, after two hundred years of construction in Luoyang, a large number of people moved from the old capital Chang'an City, more than 100,000 households in the city, nearly a million people, the Xiliang army organized them into a team of 100 people, ready to wait until the road if the coalition army pursued to block the coalition army, and as for the merchants in Luoyang City, Dong Zhuo could not take them away, so he ordered the Xiliang army to raid all these merchant families in various names, and after they were put to death for any crime, they were all plundered of their property.

And Dong Zhuo's lust is well known to the world, he made people break into the harem, and kidnapped many concubines and beautiful girls in the palace to the army for his enjoyment.

The Xiliang army was wrapped in hundreds of thousands of people, forming a mighty team towards the ancient capital of Chang'an in the west, and the Xiliang army in charge of the palace according to Dong Zhuo's instructions, burned the city of Luoyang, which was empty, and the fire of Luoyang City together, Li Su and Xu Rong, who were responsible for the palace and ambush work, immediately led troops to chase the main force of the Xiliang army.

Sun Jian was the first to send troops, but he didn't expect Dong Zhuo to set fire to Luoyang, and when he came to Luoyang City, the fire in the entire city was almost burned, Sun Jian could only send troops to extinguish the fire, while sending someone to inform Yuan Shao of the movements of the Xiliang army, so as to wait for the next arrangement.

Luoyang City was still burned down, which made Liu Zhi, who stood in the east of Luoyang City, feel very sad and regretful, although he had long known that there would be such a scene, but when he stood in front of the devastated ancient city in the north, he still felt a deep shock, he couldn't help but think of the Yuan pronoun Zhang Yanghao's "Tong Care Ancient", in front of the rolling wheel of history, it is really: Xing, the people are bitter; Death, the people suffer.

According to the records in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the princes of the Eighteenth Road asked Dong Zhuo, after attacking Luoyang, everyone had a disagreement, and finally broke up unhappily, and finally returned to their own territory, this time the alliance ended here, and failed to welcome back the emperor, which made the centralized system of the Han Dynasty completely collapsed, the influence of the Son of Heaven was greatly reduced, and countless battles broke out among the princes for the territory, and the population of the Eastern Han Dynasty dropped sharply from more than 40 million to 6 million at the end of the Three Kingdoms. During this period, I don't know how many families were broken, and I don't know how many skeletons lay in the wilderness.

Liu Zhi was thinking that he might really be just a passerby, and after he figured out the secrets on the compass, he might have to return to the era he came from, but before that, could he do something to change the current pattern of this world?

Since Luoyang City was in ruins, and the Xiliang army fled westward, the princes of the Eighteenth Route could only camp in the open space outside the city, and at this time, there were some disagreements within the coalition army.

Sun Jian, Cao Cao and Liu Bei and others advocated marching westward, pursuing the fleeing Xiliang army, and welcoming Emperor Han Xian back, Luoyang is more than 700 miles away from Chang'an, and the road is far away along the way, and the road is not very easy to walk, plus there are hundreds of thousands of people in the ranks of the Xiliang army, their speed will definitely not go fast, if the army is pursued at this time, it will definitely be able to catch up.

It's just that most of the princes don't have the desire to continue to march, they came to the alliance, the original intention was to fight for interests, not only did not see the interests at the moment, but also time-consuming, labor-intensive and wealth-consuming, not only Luoyang became a ruin, and the Xiliang army also ran, let them continue to catch up, everyone was unwilling, a long way to come, some of the princes were far away from Chang'an, such as Kong Rong in Beihai, Yuan Shao in Hebei, Yuan Shu in Nanyang, and some were worried that if the time dragged on a little longer, I'm afraid that their own territory will be encroached upon by others, and the princes of the Eighteenth Route have their own ghosts, each calculating their own interests, and it is absolutely impossible to continue to march westward, not to mention how much time it will consume to go west, even if they catch up with the Xiliang army, whether this battle can be won or not, everyone has no confidence in their hearts.

Yuan Shu, as the head of the army's grain and grass, was the first to pour bitter water at this time: "Alliance leader, it's not that we are unwilling to send troops, but the supply of grain and grass in logistics is really unable to keep up, when the army met the alliance, I asked people to count, the grain and grass brought by the princes from all walks of life is only enough for us to support a month, and now more than half of the time, this road to the west, I don't know when it will be, not to mention whether our grain and grass are enough, if Dong Zhuo sends cavalry to cut off our grain route, then we will be in trouble, At that time, more than 500,000 mouths will be afraid of the northwest wind. ”

Yuan Shao actually didn't want to continue the pursuit, but he was the leader of the coalition, and he couldn't express his stance on this matter, otherwise the people of the world, especially those scholars, would say bad things about him later.

Yuan Shao made a difficult choice, in fact, he was also worried about his territory in Hebei, he had fought several battles with Gongsun Zhan's Youzhou army before he came, and although Gongsun Zhan brought the White Horse Yicong this time, but his main force can still stay in Youzhou, but Yuan Shao also left several of his generals, including Yan Liangwen and Chou, in Hebei, there is no problem in a short time, but if it is a long time, I am afraid that it will change, and there are not only hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban Army remnants on the border of Hebei at this time, Moreover, there are alien races like Wuhuan on the side, and there is a powerful Black Mountain Army in the west, the situation is very complicated, and Yuan Shao does not want to drag it down here in Luoyang.
