Chapter 140: Burning Luoyang

Zhang Xiu and everyone talked to everyone about being arranged by Dong Zhuo to break off, but they have not yet received Xu Rong's notice, and they have not yet learned how to arrange it, so they let everyone prepare before dissolving the meeting.

Early in the morning of the second day, before dawn, Xu Rong's messenger came to see Zhang Xiu, handed over the secret letter, Zhang Xiu looked at it, and then ordered everyone to go to the big tent to discuss matters.

I only heard Zhang Xiu say: "Everyone, General Xu Rong sent a secret letter just now, detailing the arrangements after the ambush was broken. After finishing speaking, he turned around and pointed to the map behind him and said: "The vicinity of Hongnong is the ambush site here," and after speaking, he pointed to a small hill near Hongnong and said: "This is the ambush place of General Xu Rong. Then Wenhou Lu Bu personally broke off. If the coalition forces pursue, Wen Hou will be the first to kill, and our army headquarters will be ambushed in the mountains and forests on the left, and General Huaxiong will also lead the army to rescue when he arrives. We only need to kill the enemy, and if the enemy retreats, General Xu Rong will cut off his way back, so that we can win a complete victory. ”

After finishing speaking, Zhang Xiu turned around and asked, "Can you understand the layout this time?" ”

Everyone nodded at the same time. When Zhang Xiu saw it, he said: "In this case, Hu Zhen, yesterday you ordered you to lead 8,000 soldiers to transport the books, the mountain road is rugged, and the transportation of the books is difficult, you will immediately lead the army out now, and you must arrive at Dehongnong before sunset." ”

Hu Zhen heard it and replied loudly: "No." Then he bowed and turned to go out of the account.

After that, Zhang Xiu said: "Uncle, and Hu Che'er led 5,000 soldiers to protect Jiaxiao and Mr. Cai's family to Luoyang. ”

Zhang Ji smiled bitterly and said, "Bo Yuan is too old to be used?" ”

Zhang Xiu said with a smile: "That's not the case, this battle has Wen Hou and General Hua together, and it is an ambush for the enemy, it is not a tough battle, just uncle and aunt." ”

Zhang Ji snorted lightly when he heard this: "Okay, forgive you kid for being reasonable." ”

After that, Zhang Xiu said to Xu Huang: "Gongming, General Xu Rong has no general, and you will lead 5,000 soldiers and horses to General Xu Rong to help him." General Xu Rong is talented, and his training and command of the army are second among the generals in Xiliang, and Gongming's trip is just right to see it. ”

After hearing this, Xu Huang responded: "Thank you for the cultivation." ”

In the end, Zhang Xiu said: "In this way, the remaining 30,000 soldiers and horses will be led by the general, and the army will go to Hongnong after it is ready." ”

……

Not to mention that after Zhang Xiu's army was rectified, they all rushed to Hongnong. However, he said that yesterday Lu Bu was ordered by Dong Zhuo to leave Luoyang City in a hurry, but in fact, he went to gather soldiers and generals, and looted the tombs of the first emperor and concubine near Luoyang overnight, and all the gold, silver, treasures and other things that accompanied the burial into the cart.

Here, Li Dao, Guo Yan and others saw that they also followed the same example, and led a group of Xiliang soldiers to visit all the mausoleums of nearby officials and people, except for some remote ones who escaped, almost all the mausoleums in the suburbs of Luoyang were dug up.

In addition to digging the mausoleum at night, the Xiliang army also kept rushing into the houses in Luoyang City to loot property, although the rich were ordered by Dong Zhuo to copy all the homes, but the ordinary people living in Luoyang City were still richer than the people in other places, so it provoked the patronage of the Xiliang Army.

Fortunately, because Zhang Xiu informed the people of Luoyang in advance, many people left in advance, but the casualties were fewer than in history. But naturally, there are some people who did not listen to Zhang Xiu's advice and did not leave, and were killed by the Xiliang army, made family fortunes, and had wives and daughters, and there were many of these people, but Zhang Xiu couldn't take care of them, so he could only write down this account first, and find Li Dao, Guo Yan and others to calculate it in the future.

The entire city of Luoyang was in fear all night, with shouts of killing, screams, and helpless cries rising and falling. It wasn't until early in the morning that the Xiliang army, which had done evil all night, got the military order to prepare firewood, grass and flammable materials and spread them all over Luoyang City. After noon, the Xiliang army drove a large number of ministers and ministers and pushed the property looted last night to leave Luoyang City, but before leaving, they set a fire, burning the century-old imperial capital to ashes, and then walked away.

Luoyang was on fire, and the soldiers stationed in Bishui Pass and Tiger Prison Pass knew that Dong Zhuo had abandoned Luoyang and left, and now it was a general under Guo Yan who was guarding Bishui Pass. It was Sun Jian and his subordinates who sat in the camp of the coalition army in front of Bishui Pass, and they were given the pass by Guo Yan's subordinates, and they saw the fire in Luoyang, Sun Jian couldn't take care of much, and led Cheng Pu and other generals and soldiers to rush to Luoyang, during which they extinguished the fire, and got the jade seal of the country in the palace.

On the side of Tiger Prison Pass, because the defender is Dong Zhuo's confidant, he is unwilling to surrender the pass and the coalition army. The coalition forces had no choice but to fight to tackle the key problems, after all, whoever arrived in Luoyang first would have a great reputation, so this time the princes attacked without fear of the loss of the soldiers. When they saw the fire in Luoyang, they guessed that Dong Zhuo had given up on them, and the coalition army was attacking urgently. The entire Tiger Prison was closed except for the guards who were unwilling to surrender due to Dong Zhuo's henchmen, and the rest were up to the generals. Down to the ordinary soldiers, they all wanted to surrender to the coalition forces. Therefore, after the coalition army attacked for half a day, the Xiliang soldiers on the Tiger Prison Pass mutinied, killed Dong Zhuo's henchmen, and then dedicated the Tiger Prison Pass to the coalition army, but it was Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei who led the army to attack during this period of time who happened to accept the surrender.

The coalition army here won the Tiger Prison Pass, and after a little tidying up, the princes hurried to Luoyang with their troops, but it was already night at this time, and Sun Jian's army had arrived in Luoyang for several hours. So Yuan Shao built a large camp outside the ruined city of Luoyang, and set up a banquet to celebrate the defeat of Dong Zhuo by the coalition army.

Cao Cao went to the banquet as promised, he thought that Yuan Shao would discuss the pursuit of Dong Zhuo in addition to celebrating, how did he know that Yuan Shao and the princes were drinking and celebrating all night, not mentioning the pursuit of Dong Zhuo, but Cao Cao couldn't help but say: "Now that Dong thief is going west, he can take advantage of the situation to pursue; Why not move at the beginning? ”

Yuan Shao heard this, and replied drunkenly: "The army is tired, and it is useless to enter. ”

Cao Cao heard it and said, "Dong thieves burned the palace, robbed the Son of Heaven, the sea shook, and I didn't know where to go: when this day died, the world was decided in a war." Why don't you doubt? ”

When the princes heard this, they said secretly: "Now that Luoyang has been won, Dong Zhuo, these Guanxi barbarians, have been driven back again, what are they chasing after them?" So they all said that they should not be moved.

Cao Cao said angrily: "The erector is not enough and conspiracy! After saying that, he brushed his sleeves and left.

After the account was released, Cao Cao led more than 10,000 troops and his generals to chase after him overnight.
