After this battle, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, and Zhang Fei were in the limelight, and their fame was greatly enhanced, ranking among the good generals. But Lu Bu is not bad, although he is defeated, he is still glorious, and he sits firmly in the position of the world's first general.

It's just that no matter how good Lu Bu's personal expression is, it can't affect the overall situation of the war after all. Since the battle, Dong Zhuo has lost in a row, and Xu Rong, the only one who won two battles, has now been captured alive, regardless of the size of the loss, but the morale has fallen to the bottom. In particular, the destruction of the Seven-Star Beidou Array and the defeat of Lu Bu of the three armies of the Yongguan Champion were an unprecedentedly heavy blow to Dong Zhuo's army. Schemes, schemes are no match for the enemy. The battle array, the battle array was broken. Even the head-to-head duel was also defeated by the heroes. How else can this battle be fought?

Dong Zhuo was also born in the army, and he knew the military very well, and found that the entire strategic plan had failed, and he also had the intention of retiring from the army. There is no dangerous pass in the world that cannot be broken, and when people can no longer fight, no matter how steep the pass is, it cannot be defended. Waiting for the princes to carry the power of great victory, build all kinds of siege equipment, and face the soldiers who have no fighting spirit, which will only cause stricter consequences.

At this time, his son-in-law Li Ru stood up again and offered a plan. persuaded him to move the capital to Chang'an, avoiding the sharp edge of the princes, and also fabricated nursery rhymes indiscriminately, and found a long list of excuses to make the move of the capital justified. Dong Zhuo actually had the intention to do this a long time ago, but it was not easy to speak, as soon as Li Ru said this, of course, he was deeply satisfied, and immediately asked him to rush back to Luoyang first and prepare to move the capital.

In fact, purely strategically, Li Ru's construction is correct. If they don't withdraw from the Luoyang area, they will only lose even worse in the face of the fierce princes. But if the capital is moved to Chang'an, the situation will be different if it is guarded. If the alliance of princes wants to continue the expedition and fight to Chang'an, it is impossible to do without a stable rear, and this condition is obviously not available to all the princes......

On March 25, 190 AD, six days after Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, and Zhang Fei defeated Lü Bu, Dong Zhuo rushed back to Luoyang with Lü Bu and other cronies. By strong means. Forced the ministers of the DPRK and China to move the capital. Whoever does not listen. All of them landed on the ground, and even Wu Qiong and Zhou Bi, who were very important to Dong Zhuo before, were also killed because they opposed the relocation of the capital. These two had previously instigated Dong Zhuo to appoint Yuan Shao, Han Fu and others to guard all parties in the world, but as a result, all the people they recommended rebelled. Of course, he was not tolerated by Dong Zhuo at this moment, but he saw that Zhou Bi's father, Zhou Shen, had fought side by side with him. Instead, he left a whole corpse for Zhou Bi.

In addition, in order to make the relocation of the capital more prestigious, he also invited Zhu Jun, who pacified the Yellow Turban, to be a servant and perform the duties of the prime minister, second only to him. However, Zhu Jun resigned in a very clever way. Hidden in the home.

And the worst is the Yuan family. Because of his jealousy of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, Dong Zhuo was ruthless in his heart, and killed the Taifu Yuan Kui, the servant Yuan Ji and others regardless of it, and none of the more than 50 members of the Yuan family, including the baby, escaped.

Moreover, with the rich return of copying the Yuan family, Dong Zhuo became even more greedy. One does not do two endlessly. Directly ordered the arrest of the wealthy in Luoyang City and executed for crime. Property confiscated, and countless people died. At the same time, he asked Lu Bu to lead his troops to excavate the tombs of the emperors and the cemeteries of the ministers and hundreds of officials, and collect the treasures of the burial.

The common people were even less likely to be spared, and under the persecution of Sergeant Dong Zhuo's sword, millions of residents left their homes and reluctantly moved to Chang'an. Because of the lack of orderly arrangements, Dong Zhuo connived at the misdeeds of the soldiers, which made the migration extremely chaotic, with horses trampling on people, crowding each other, coupled with hunger and looting, hundreds of people continued to die, and corpses were piled up along the way.

However, Dong Zhuo himself was not in a hurry to leave, and after moving Luoyang to the air, he quickly withdrew the army on the front line and temporarily stationed in Biguiyuan. And ordered his subordinates to set fire to a qiē palace, government and people's residences, the fire burned for three whole days, Luoyang City is 200 miles away, a ruin, chickens and dogs are not left.

When the princes from all walks of life first found out that Dong Zhuo had withdrawn his troops, and there was not a single soldier in Hugao Pass, Revolving Gate Pass and other places, they were all overjoyed and rushed to settle in. And maybe Dong Zhuo was worried that the action would be too big and he would be discovered by the princes and follow the attack, so he didn't take away the grain, grass, materials, equipment, baggage, and even spare war horses.

This really made the princes excited for a while, and they didn't care so much, and were busy distributing the spoils first.

But only two days later, before everyone's supplies could be counted, the latest information found out shocked everyone. Moving the capital, digging up the imperial tomb, burning Luoyang, any of them is enough to shake the entire Han Dynasty, not to mention all at once.

Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu cried even more, their immediate family members who were still in Luoyang were all killed, how could they not be sad. I didn't expect that Dong Zhuo was so cruel that he made up his mind to break with the people of the world.

Seeing this, Cao Cao immediately proposed to build a yì, hoping that the princes would immediately send troops to pursue Dong Zhuo. After all, the other party has so many people, as long as they take advantage of the situation to chase and kill, it is not impossible to turn the situation around. It's a pity that no one responded this time, and the princes from all walks of life heard that Luoyang was burned and the court existed in name only, and they were all disheartened, where did they still have the heart to chase Dong Zhuo. Even Yuan Shao, the leader of the alliance, shook his head and said nothing, his Yuan family was dead, even if he took revenge, what could he do? What's more, whether you can take revenge or not!

It can be said that as soon as the burning of Luoyang came out, the contradictions between the princes present had intensified instantly. They are all princes who are sitting on one side, how can they not even understand the most simple truth, when Luoyang became a ruin and the emperor was forcibly moved away by Dong Zhuo, the imperial court completely lost its prestige. Everyone is now thinking about how to go in the future, and it is completely meaningless to ask for Dong.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Cao Cao was immediately furious and asked everyone if they had the heart of the Han family. But in the face of the princes from all walks of life who had always been silent, he was helpless, looked up to the sky and sighed, and chased after him with his troops alone. Only Zhang Miao and Bao Xin respectively gave Cao Cao a piece of soldiers and horses, which can be regarded as friendly support. Of course, there are also two people who have raised troops to pursue, that is, Liu Bei and Sun Jian. It's just that now the shape has changed, the princes are scattered, and they all have some scruples about each other, worried about changes, so they are not on the same road.

Before leaving, Cao Cao also specially invited Wang Xu, hoping to go with him. But to the point where it has come to this point, the goal of becoming famous all over the world has been achieved, what is the point of going into danger to pursue Dong Zhuo? In the end, he could only shake his head and said slowly: "Mengde, I'm not like you. At this moment, the world has changed, if I continue to pursue Dong Zhuo, I am afraid that I will never be able to return to Jingnan! ”

Cao Cao is not a stupid person, think about it for a while. I already understood. He let out a long sigh. He didn't say anything more, and left.

Seeing the current situation, Wang Xu also knew that it was time for him to leave, but for the sake of safety, he was divided into two divisions to retreat. He ordered Song Qian, Guan Hai, and Han Meng to lead their respective troops back to Xingyang, and secretly escorted back to Jingnan all the war horses captured and exchanged since the fight against Dong, totaling more than 3,000 horses. and instructed the three. If he is interrogated or detained in Jingbei, it is important to say that Liu Biaozheng is with him, and then forcibly pass Guò as quickly as possible.

This is for the sake of throwing a mouse, after all, Jingbei doesn't know the situation on the front line for the time being, as long as the time is well grasped, he will definitely not dare to mess around. Wait for them to find out. After communicating back and forth with Liu Biao, Han Meng and the others had already returned to Jingnan safely. And the reason why I am so careful is that I can't help it. Liu Biaoke is also very greedy for war horses, and the shape has come to this point, it is difficult to say that he will not forcibly buckle it down.

In the following days, Wang Xu was still stationed as before, making the soldiers fanfare. He also drank and feasted with the princes every day, and did not show anything abnormal. In order to confuse Liu Biao. And his attention was completely on Liu Biao. For several days, the activities between Liu Biao and the princes were very close. I don't know what we're talking about, but I think it's about future cooperation.

But such days did not last long, on the sixth day of the first month of April, Cao Cao, who pursued alone in depth, really had no good results, and was ambushed by Li Ru, Lu Bu and others in the suburbs of Luoyang, and was defeated and returned. Seeing all the princes gathered together to talk, laugh, drink and feast, they were even more angry, and they brushed their sleeves away on the spot. Rushed back to Xingyang with his defeated soldiers, and after a day's rest, he gathered all the soldiers and logistics personnel, and was the first to retreat with the spoils of war.

A few days later, Sun Jian also rushed back. It's just that he was lucky not to crash into the ambush circle. It's just that they met Dong Zhuo's small army near the Otani Imperial Mausoleum in the south, and they won a beautiful battle. It's just that after hearing that Cao Cao, who was pursuing in the middle, was ambushed, he didn't dare to continue the pursuit, and repaired and cleaned the imperial mausoleum, palace and cemetery in Luoyang, and slowly retreated.

But not long after Sun Jian came back, a thrilling scene of competition was suddenly staged.

At the beginning, the ten permanent servants killed He Jin, and were forced by the generals of the capital to hold the young emperor hostage and leave the palace, and took away the emperor's six seals. These six seals are symbols of imperial power, each with different functions, and among them, the jade seal of the country is the most important, but it was lost in the chaos and has never been recovered. This time, Sun Jian entered Luoyang and kindly cleaned the palace that was almost in ruins, but he was blessed and found the heirloom jade seal that was hidden by the ten permanent servants.

But who knows, among the soldiers present, there is one person who is greedy for wealth and wealth, and informed Yuan Shao of this matter in advance.

Therefore, as soon as Sun Jian came back, he happily didn't say a few words to everyone, but Yuan Shao had already stepped forward and asked coldly.

The current general trend of the world, the blind can also see it, how can Sun Jian not know. Of course, he refused to tell the truth, and refuted sharply that there was no such thing.

Seeing that he did not admit it, Yuan Shao was immediately furious and immediately called the sergeant out to testify.

Seeing that he was betrayed by his subordinates, Sun Jian was of course furious, and suddenly pulled out his waist knife, and wanted to behead this person. It's a pity that Yuan Shao's reaction was also very fast, he drew his sword to block it, and shouted angrily: "You want to kill your mouth? ”

"Such a villain who betrays the master, he should be killed!" Saying that, Sun Jian shook his head abruptly and said: "I did find the jade seal of the country, but this is the important treasure of the country, when the world is stable, it will be returned to His Majesty, why do you need to ask!" ”

"Bold! Privately possessing jade seals, are you still reasonable? Yuan Shao was also not to be outdone, and shouted against each other.

Seeing that the two of them were tense, and the generals behind them also pulled out their swords, all the princes present couldn't help but step forward to advise and pull them away. In fact, everyone knows very well that this heirloom jade seal is really useless now, and Yuan Shao just has another plan to get it. He invited everyone two days ago, intending to establish Youzhou Mu Liu Yu as the emperor, and with this heirloom jade seal, Liu Yu is a close relative of the emperor of the dynasty, this matter can be logical. When the time comes, Yuan Shao will have meritorious service, and there is no need to say much about the wonders.

After being separated, Sun Jian glared at Yuan Shao angrily, and didn't want to say more, arched his hand at everyone, and directly turned around and left with the generals behind him. Although Yuan Shao had the intention to stop it, after all, in front of so many people right now, he couldn't clash head-on, so he just clenched his fists fiercely.

After this incident, the ambition of the group was even more dispersed. Wang Xu estimated that Han Meng and the others should also arrive in Jingnan with their war horses at this time, and they were worried that something would happen again, so they quietly raised troops and went south that night......

The army marched through the darkness of the night, without the slightest noise, only the sound of hurried and neat horses' hooves. But Zhou Zhi suddenly urged the horse to Wang Xu's side, and opened his mouth to break the silence. "Boss, there is something I don't know whether to say or not!"

"What's the matter?" Wang Xu frowned and asked.

"That Liu Biao hasn't seen anyone in the past few days, although his troops are still there, but he hasn't seen anyone." Saying that, Zhou Zhi shook his head suspiciously, and then opened his mouth again: "The boss also knows, I like to make friends everywhere, but when I went to Liu Biao's camp recently, they didn't let me in." said to meet Liu Biao, they also said that they were busy, I don't think this is right, and I suspect that Liu Biao is no longer in the army. ”

"What?" Hearing this, Wang Xu was suddenly shocked and said hurriedly: "When did it happen?" ”

"It seems to have started the day before yesterday!" Zhou Zhi looked up and thought about it.

Hearing this, Wang Xu also frowned and recalled, only to find that it seemed that he hadn't seen Liu Biao for two days. It's just that his generals and soldiers are still here, and they often show up, so they don't pay attention. Immediately, he couldn't help but blame: "Zhou Zhi, why didn't you say such an important thing until now?" ”

"No, I also thought about it after I went on the road just now, and I realized that it was wrong." As he spoke, Zhou Zhi couldn't help but wink at Wang Xu innocently.

I didn't expect Liu Biao to use this kind of golden cicada to get out of the shell, he must have seen through the fact that Han Meng and they had gone back first with the loot, so he did this. And this is enough to show that he is indeed uneasy and kind, otherwise why bother?

Thinking of this, Wang Xu couldn't help but sigh and said with a wry smile: "Hey! It may not be easy to return to Jingnan......" (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log on to http://www.biquge.info.)
