Chapter 376: Who's going to chase Dong Zhuo
Dong Zhuo's army slowly marched westward and marched towards Chang'an, and millions of people around were also driven to trek to Chang'an together, but the speed of the march was very slow due to the large number of people. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The movements of the Xiliang Army were too big, and coupled with the burning of Luoyang, billowing black smoke could be seen hundreds of miles away, filling the sky in the distance, so the coalition army got the news early.
However, the coalition army was jubilant at this time, holding a banquet, and was celebrating the great victory of Dong, anyway, Dong Zhuo retreated, they did not retreat, naturally it was a big victory, which was not wrong at all in the eyes of many princes.
"Haha, the battle of the Lord of the Yuan League, swept away the traitors, shocked China, and left his name in the annals of history, admired by thousands of people. This lamp should be honored by the alliance master. Yuan Yi said excitedly.
"The victory in this battle is not the work of Shao alone, thanks to the soldiers' lives, and the kings help each other, if not, only Shao alone, it is definitely difficult to defeat the old thief. This lamp, should be respected! Yuan Shao shirked.
At this time, Cao Cao walked in from outside the door, and saw everyone's almost profligate posture, and couldn't stop the anger in his heart for a while.
He snorted coldly, "Everyone, you still have the heart to drink here. didn't know that Dong Zhuo burned Luoyang with a fire, wrapped up millions of people in Luozhong, and went to Chang'an. ”
"Is that true?" Yuan Shao was taken aback when he heard this, and immediately stood up and asked.
"How can it be fake, the black clouds over Luoyang cover the sky, and they are still clearly visible hundreds of miles away." Cao Cao said angrily.
"Hiss~! The old thief is so vicious! Yuan Shao's face was furious, and he scolded angrily in his mouth, and his heart was even more mixed.
Yuan Shao is not an incompetent person, so he naturally knows what the impact of such a result will be on the coalition forces.
Luoyang was burned to ashes, which meant that the bridgehead for the coalition forces to attack Chang'an was gone. Yuan Shao has lived in Luoyang for a long time, so he naturally knows the situation very well, Luoyang's wealth exceeds any place in the Han Dynasty, occupying Luoyang, and the army's grain, grass, ordnance, etc., is not a problem at all.
His original intention was to force Dong Zhuo to withdraw from Luoyang, and then gain a foothold here, and then the grain and grass of the army would not need to be dispatched from Jizhou at all, and it could be used directly and locally, which could save a lot of time and manpower, and he would have enough energy to look west.
In addition, Luoyang is much closer to Hangu Pass than Chang'an is to Hangu Pass, so even if Hangu Pass falls into Dong Zhuo's hands at that time, his side will still have a big advantage.
Because of the initiative, it is completely in his own hands, and he can fight Hangu Pass whenever he wants, and Dong Zhuo must be slower to react than his own side because of the distance, and Dong Zhuo cannot station a large number of troops in Hangu Pass, thousands of miles away, and consume food and salary.
Therefore, Yuan Shao is very confident that he will win Hangu Pass and approach Chang'an, as for whether he can win Dong Zhuo next time, he at least does not think that he will lose.
Therefore, Dong Zhuo's act of burning Luoyang disrupted the steps in Yuan Shao's heart and caught him off guard, of course, all this is not important, the important thing is that the great cause of helping the world is gradually leaving him, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, the eyes of the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, the stars holding the moon, the opportunity to attract the attention of the world, is far away from him, this is the real opportunity to go down in history, just missed it, how to make Yuan Shao happy.
At this time, the hatred for Dong Zhuo in his heart was beyond measure, he really wanted to eat his flesh, sleep on his skin, and break his corpse into thousands of pieces, so he would be willing.
After all, Yuan Shao knew very well that the intact Luoyang was the key to his ability to continue to command the heroes, and without this as a foundation, the hearts of these people would soon disperse.
"Then I'll wait for the army to start and go to Luoyang immediately!" Yuan Shao immediately made a decision and wanted to go over to see if there was a way to recover.
"The tiger prison is still in the hands of the old thief, how can I go to Luoyang?" Yuan Shu said coldly.
"Niu Fuye has already traveled west, and he should have been ordered to keep the letter to Guguan." Cao Cao shook his head and said.
"In this way, there is no obstacle between Luoyang and us?" Kong Rong's eyes lit up, he didn't have much concept of burning Luoyang, in his impression, it was just a fire, burning dozens of hundreds of houses, it was amazing.
"Not bad."
"Without further ado, I'll leave now." The anxiety in Yuan Shao's heart was better than anyone else's.
But there are not a few other princes, like Kong Rong, who can support Luoyang, this is a big event that can and is famous all over the world, and now this kind of good thing is in front of them, how can they not be happy.
Therefore there was no point in all of them, and they unanimously agreed to set off at once, and immediately they lost the mind to drink, and each returned to the camp and set out on the road.
Cao Cao looked at the backs of everyone, sneering in his heart, what was going on in their heads, Cao Cao could naturally guess that these fools must have been disappointed when they arrived in Luoyang, this raging fire in Luoyang was afraid that it would really burn the entire city to ruins.
Changtian nodded at Cao Cao, and also returned to the camp to lead the army to set off, he was not much interested in Luoyang, which had become a ruin, but was a little interested in excavating the royal tombs, but presumably the tombs of the first emperor of Luoyang, the concubines, and even the princess had been excavated by Dong Zhuo, and he would not be able to reap the benefits of going again.
――――
A few days later, Luoyang City.
"Ah, Dong thief! I don't share the sky with you! Yuan Shao looked at the Luoyang Palace, which had been burned to the ground, and scolded angrily, the little hope in his heart was ruthlessly destroyed again.
"Burning Luoyang, burning Jinque, desecrating the first emperor, excavating the imperial tomb, such evil deeds, heaven and man are also !! angry" Kong Rong cried out as if he was heartbreaking, as a pillar of the Han family, the appearance of a loyal and loyal minister was fully revealed, of course, only he knew what he was thinking.
All the princes scolded Dong Zhuo, atrocity and ferocity, heinous crimes, crimes should be punished, forgiveness is unforgivable, and they are also scolding Dong Zhuo in their hearts, this bastard completely ruined their opportunity to go down in history.
Yuan Shao slammed his golden helmet to the ground.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the old thief is so tyrannical that there is nothing to be done, and everyone will be punished! Do you have a good plan to destroy the old thief? Yuan Shao asked the princes loudly.
A cadre of people looked at each other and begged to destroy the old thief? What do you ask for? Let's do it again? This Dong Zhuo has already burned Luoyang, and he has not gained any benefits, you still want to hit Chang'an and force Dong Zhuo to burn Chang'an again? Thankless work, who would want to do it.
Basically, no one is willing to stand up and speak, except for Cao Cao.
"Old thief, the army is moving westward, and there are millions of displaced people, the speed of travel must be very slow, if we wait for the army to do our best, we will be able to catch up with the old thief, what did I think at first?" Cao Cao said.
"Good!" Yuan Shao was overjoyed when he heard this, and then he wanted to agree to Cao Cao on the spot, he looked at the other people's expressions, his brows were furrowed, he could see that these people were not willing to chase Dong Zhuo.
He saw Xu Yu again, and he was also hinting at himself, which meant that he should not agree, Yuan Shao hesitated, but before, the word 'good' had already been said, and he was unwilling to change his words again.
Then he looked at Changtian and asked, "What does General Right think of what Meng De said?" ”
As long as this Changtian agrees with Cao Cao, then he will take advantage of the situation and ask him to accompany Cao Cao to chase Dong Zhuo, presumably there will not be too good results, otherwise Xu You will not let himself reject Cao Cao, if he does not agree, then it is better, Cao Mengde and this stranger are too close, it is better for them to be a little conflicted.
So everyone set their eyes on Changtian.
Changtian said casually without hesitation: "Okay, let's kill Dong Zhuo and Kuang Fu Sheji, isn't this a good opportunity for you to live forever?" We wait for the blood to be an alliance, share weal and woe, and never give up. Now the immortal deeds are in front of you, how can such a good thing be monopolized by Meng De alone, and when he is willing to do so, he will go! ”
