Seeing that the battle ahead was going well, the defeated soldiers of the Dong army were about to collapse, and Wen Chou's victory was imminent, Xu Rong from Wen Chou's side came out and said: "Although the Dong soldiers are defeated, and Dong Zhuo is elite left and right, when he is at this end, he is bound to fight to the death, but the Dong soldiers in front of him are so easily defeated, there is something suspicious." ”

Wen Chou said, "Oh? What is the general's opinion? ”

"Dong Zhuo is cunning, or he won't be defeated in this army."

"If you are not in this defeated army, where can you be?"

"The roads around Luoyang are accessible, maybe he will flee to Mianchi and Xin'an from other places."

"In this case, what is the general's countermeasure?"

"Rong is willing to raise the soldiers and horses of the headquarters, and rush to Mianchi and Xin'an to search and intercept Dong Zhuo."

Wen Chou looked at the battle in front of him, and also felt that this defeated army was routing a little too quickly, maybe Dong Zhuo was really not among them, so he responded to Xu Rongzhi's request and said: "If you win Dong Zhuo, I will play in the court and invite 5,000 marquis for the general!" ”

Xu Rong received the order, turned back to the headquarters, and hurriedly went to the direction of Mianchi and Xin'an with 3,000 soldiers,—— and after surrendering Wen Chou, he collected the headquarters and got more than 2,000 people, Wen Chou fulfilled his promise and gave him 1,000 soldiers, which is based on his current total of 3,000 troops.

With the previous matter of deceiving and killing the Taigu guards, this time Xu Rong asked for an order to chase Dong Zhuo, but no one among the people around Wen Chou expressed doubts.

Mianchi and Xin'an are in the west and northwest of Luoyang, and they are the places where the Tao Jing goes from Luoyang to Chang'an, Dong Zhuo has soldiers and horses stationed in both places, Xu Rong invited himself to lead his troops to Mianchi and Xin'an to intercept Dong Zhuo, if Dong Zhuo is really not in the defeated army in front of him, and really escaped first, then it is the best, and if Dong Zhuo is in the defeated army in front, it doesn't matter, anyway, after destroying Dong Zhuo, Wen Chou and Sun Jian will go west to Chang'an sooner or later. This pond and Xin'an are the places where they must go.

Sun Jian led his troops to catch up from behind, and joined forces with Wen Chou, attacking back and forth, and beheaded or captured the defeated soldiers of this Dong army, and quickly wiped them out. The generals came one after another to report the results of the battle, and each had his own gains. And in the end, no one got Dong Zhuo.

Wen Chouxin said: "Xu Rong is not bad, Dong Zhuoguo is cunning, it seems that he escaped first!" ”

Not only did Dong Zhuo, such as Niu Fu, Wang Xi, Lu Bu, etc., none of the people who ranked in the Dong army have been found, these people should have either been on other battlefields, or followed Dong Zhuo's side, and fled with Dong Zhuo first.

By the time this defeated army was eliminated, it was already twilight, and some of the shouts and killings on the battlefields near and far had become smaller. Some are still huge. Wen Chou made people open the way, rushed to the front to see Sun Jian, and said to Sun Jian: "Although Dong Zhuo has not been obtained, and Dong Zhuo's army has been defeated, Wentai, you and I can divide our troops and send generals, all the way to Mianchi, Xin'an, and pursue Dong Zhuo." All the way to the battlefield over there. ”

Sun Jian thought so, and the two of them each ordered cavalry. He hurriedly went to the direction of Mianchi and Xin'an, searching along the way, in order to find out Dong Zhuo's whereabouts, and then, the two of them each took their own troops and went separately to help those battlefields that were still fighting.

Straight to fight all night. By the early morning of the next day, the battlefield was flat everywhere.

Although Dong Zhuo divided his troops into various places, there were not many soldiers and horses left in Luoyang, but there were also 20,000 or 30,000 people, and most of the generals who led the troops were fierce generals such as Niu Fu, Li Dao, and Guo Yan. Therefore, although Wen Chou and Sun Jian won a great victory in this battle, they failed to annihilate all the Dong troops, calculating the results, the two armies together killed more than 10,000 Dong soldiers, and the number of Dong soldiers who were escaped was also here.

To be honest, Wen Chou and Sun Jian's attack on Luoyang this time was originally prepared for a hard battle, but neither of them expected that the victory would come so quickly and so easily.

Facing the rising red sun, Wen Chou and Sun Jianfu met again, and the two met each other, looking at each other's dusty faces, looking at each other and smiling.

However, although this battle was won, the entire battle against Dong was not over.

Wen Chou said: "Dong Zhuo may have fled far away, and it is difficult to capture him for the time being. Wentai, you and my troops marched in a hurry for a day and a night, and before they could rest, they fought fiercely with Dong Bing for a day and a night, and the soldiers were tired, so they should take a rest. You and I might as well order the three armies to find a place to station, and you and I will enter Luoyang first, how about it? ”

Sun Jian nodded and said: "I heard that when Dong Zhuo was in Luo, he excavated the tombs of the emperors, burned down the palaces of the imperial city, all kinds of contradictions, it is difficult to describe, yesterday and last night, the battle has aggravated the destruction of the tombs of the emperors, you and I can take advantage of this opportunity for the three armies to recuperate, first enter the city, remove the temple, level the tombs, and then wait to find out where Dong Zhuo goes, and then attack Hangu in the west, seek Chang'an, and welcome the Son of Heaven back." ”

Hangu Pass is also one of the eight passes around Luoyang, if you want to take Chang'an, this level must be taken down first. If Dong Zhuo died in this battle, Wen Chou and Sun Jianjian could muster up the remaining bravery, and then go to attack Hangu again, but now Dong Zhuo's whereabouts are unknown, and Wen Chou and Sun Jian's troops have been fighting so far, and they are all tired, but they obviously can't continue to fight, and they need to take a break.

Wen Chou said: "Qing Yan is very true. You and I will go into the city!" ”

Wen Chou and Sun Jian ordered the three armies to be stationed and rested, each with a thousand guards, and galloped into Luoyang City.

When I arrived in the city, I saw that there were broken ruins and ruins everywhere, and as far as the eye could see, there was a huge Shenjing Luoyang, but now I couldn't see the slightest human population, and the hares and foxes were jumping between the dilapidated houses everywhere, and the wind blew, making people feel desolate and infinite.

Further forward, to the imperial city, the north and south palaces of the palace gate is broken, into the palace, and the same as the outside of the palace, only to see the ruins and broken walls, not a single figure. In the broken palace walls and palace buildings, you can sometimes see the palace maids and palace ministers who have fallen to the ground, and the deaths are very miserable, some have rotted to the point that they are not human, and from time to time there are wild dogs and the like barking at Wen Chou, Sun Jian and others on the side of these dead corpses.

Sun Jian and Wen Chou couldn't bear to look at it, so they ordered some soldiers to stay left and right to clean up the tragic situation in the palace, and the two of them folded out of the palace with their subordinates and went to the temple again.

Zongmiao, Sheji are outside the Zhengyang Gate in the south of the city, Wen Chou and Sun Jian are the city that enters from the west of the city, and the north and south palaces of the imperial city are in the north of Luoyang City.

This street is named after the copper camel because there is a nine-foot-high copper camel on each side of the street, and now, the whereabouts of these two copper camels are unknown, and there is no need to ask, they are obviously moved by Dong Zhuo's troops, or smelted into weapons, or melted into coins.

After the copper camel street and then forward, the east of the road is successively the Baijun Mansion, the three princes' mansions and other official temples, in the past, these official temples in front of the car like a flowing water horse like a dragon, but now there are only broken bricks and tiles, where is there still a little popularity?

The two of them entered the city from the west of the city, to the north and south palaces, and then to the Zhengyang Gate in the north of the city. (To be continued.) )
