Chapter 255: Pursuit

The distance between Tiger Prison Pass and Luoyang was not far away, and Li Yang and the others were all riding horses, and Cao Cao took the lead in marching at full speed, so in less than an hour, Li Yang saw the fire in Luoyang City.

Li Yang and the others did not continue to approach Luoyang, but stopped ten miles away from Luoyang City, not that they didn't want to get close, but they couldn't get close at all.

Since seeing the red sky, the closer Li Yang and the others got to Luoyang, they felt that the temperature had increased by a point, and now they were ten miles away from Luoyang, as if they were in an oven, if they got closer, I was afraid that they would die of dehydration directly.

Li Yang looked at the fire in the distance that was higher than the city wall of Luoyang, and at the same time, he couldn't help but feel a little exaggerated, even if all the houses in Luoyang City were piled up together to burn, it was not necessarily possible to produce such an exaggerated fire!

Li Yang thought to himself: "I'm afraid this is also a kind of tribute to the demise of this thousand-year-old imperial capital and the disappearance of the last bit of majesty of the Han Dynasty!" Fortunately, I asked Dong Fatzi to sell all the properties in Luoyang early, otherwise, I am afraid that there will not be even scum left now! ’

Li Yang knew the mystery and slowly recovered from the shock, but Cao Cao and the soldiers he led were not so easy to relieve, their faces have been constantly changing in shock and anger, for Cao Cao, who is still loyal to the Han family, the emperor was burned in front of them, which is also a great shame.

Cao Cao also wanted to organize people to fight the fire, but after trying a few times, he found that he couldn't even connect to Luoyang, let alone fight the fire, which made Cao Cao feel sad and frustrated, he stared at Luoyang City in the distance, and was stunned for a while.

Li Yang looked at Cao Cao, who was looking at the fire in Luoyang uprightly, and couldn't help but sigh a little differently, and instead accompanied Cao Cao and the others to look at Luoyang City, which was slowly dying.

20,000 people stared at Luoyang for nearly an hour, but Li Yang also knew that this was not the way, so he proposed to Cao Cao to camp first and wait for the arrival of the large army.

Yuan Shao and other large troops, the speed of march was naturally very slow, until the early morning of the second day Yuan Shao and others led the large army of the coalition army to the outside of Luoyang City.

Looking at Luoyang, which was in a sea of fire in the distance, the coalition forces naturally caused a considerable commotion, and even the players who knew that Luoyang would be burned couldn't help but let out exclamations.

After Li Yang discovered the large forces of the coalition army, he did not go to see Yuan Shao and them, because he found Zhang Liang and Xu Chu, so he went directly to find them.

When Li Yang and Zhao Yun led Yanyun Iron Cavalry to the Tiger Prison Pass, they once instructed Zhang Liang to let him pack up the materials of Bishui Pass, and then directly rushed to Luoyang City with the troops.

After Li Yang found Zhang Liang, he directly pulled him to a secret place.

Yuan Shao also brought the rest of the princes to Cao Cao at this time and asked about the specific situation, and naturally there were soldiers here who told him what he knew.

"The hateful Dong thief, you will be broken into pieces!" After listening to the general situation of the soldier, Yuan Shao angrily pulled out the sword at his waist and casually cut down a thigh-thick tree next to him.

Luoyang is the imperial capital after all, and these princes have been here countless times, and they are all very familiar with Luoyang, so they naturally began to curse Dong Zhuolai, and all kinds of swear words flew everywhere for a while.

Cao Cao, who had been staring at Luoyang City without any reaction before, may have been awakened by the scolding of the princes, or perhaps he suddenly figured it out, and suddenly turned to Yuan Shao and said.

"Lord Yuan, when Cao came, he found that the gate of Luoyang City was opened, the city was on fire, but there was no one fleeing around, Cao guessed that Dong Zhuo moved to Chang'an and took away all the people in Luoyang City, so they must not have gone far now, as long as we speed up our pace, we will definitely be able to catch up, and then we can work together to kill Dong Zhuo and welcome back Your Majesty."

After Cao Cao finished speaking, the rest of the princes showed reluctant expressions, everyone knew that if they pursued, they would definitely be ambushed, but it was Yuan Shao who made the final decision, so everyone looked at Yuan Shao.

When Yuan Shao cursed Dong Zhuo among the princes, his eyes began to stare at Luoyang City in the distance, as if he was remembering the thousand-year-old capital of the Han Dynasty that was about to die, and as if he was thinking about some profound question.

After being interrupted by everyone, Yuan Shao did not make a decision immediately, but first thought in his mind about how to maximize his interests.

Yuan Shao thought to himself that Dong Zhuo must have been prepared for moving the capital, so even if he led the coalition army to continue to chase Dong Zhuo, in addition to recovering some people and killing some Xiliang troops, it was impossible to make any achievements, but would cause his troops to be damaged again, which would not outweigh the losses at all.

And by now, Yuan Shao himself has gained enough prestige and merit, and there is no need to do such a laborious thing as chasing Dong Zhuo at all.

If their army chases, if they can kill Dong Zhuo to avenge his Yuan family, Yuan Shao is also willing, but this is obviously impossible.

After thoroughly understanding this, Yuan Shao slowly turned his head to look at the princes and Cao Cao, as if he had just recovered from the sadness of the emperor's burning capital.

Yuan Shao looked at them and said to them slowly: "Luoyang is the thousand-year-old imperial capital of my Han Dynasty, I can't bear it, and I can't bear to see it burned cleanly, so the leader of this alliance plans to lead the troops to stay and put out the fire."

"Yes! Oh, yes! You can't just watch Luoyang being burned! ”

"Well, you can't just look at it, be saved, you have to be saved! A certain person immediately arranged for manpower to put out the fire. ”

What Yuan Shao could figure out, even if the rest of the princes couldn't think it all through, they didn't want to do anything laborious, so they hurriedly agreed.

According to Cao Cao's own ideas, it should be imperative to chase Dong Zhuo now, after all, the purpose of their alliance of nineteen princes is to kill Dong Zhuo and save Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, so Cao Cao thinks that Yuan Shao will definitely agree to his proposal.

However, he didn't expect that his proposal would be rejected like this, and Cao Cao found that the rest of the princes also agreed, so he stayed where he was for a while.

But in an instant, Cao Cao came back to his senses, looked at the surrounding princes with an angry face, and finally looked at Yuan Shao and said, "The erection is not enough and the plan!" With that, he turned around and walked behind him.

At this time, I discussed it with Zhang Liang, and Li Yang, who walked back from the side, happened to hear this classic 'line'.

Although he wasn't there before, after he heard this classic scolding, he instantly understood what had just happened, and hurriedly walked briskly towards Cao Cao, who was about to leave, and shouted, "Brother Mengde, Li will go with you." ”

When Cao Cao heard Li Yang's shout, he couldn't help but stop, looked at Li Yang with some surprise, and then said with relief: "Okay, Brother Zikang, let's go together."

After Cao Cao finished speaking, he turned his head and snorted coldly at those princes, and then walked towards his troops with Li Yang, and Li Yang did not look back at Yuan Shao and the others from beginning to end.
