Chapter 476: Abandonment
Dong Zhuo in Luoyang City is ready to go, the mighty carriages and wagons can stretch for five miles, Lu Bu's army has withdrawn into Luoyang City to guard the east gate and south gate, Cao Cao and Sun Jian are a little small in number and dare not approach Luoyang too much, Zhou Yu is waiting for Luoyang to catch fire when it is the best time to pursue Dong Zhuo, he didn't rush in time, but he didn't have Cao Cao and Sun Jian together, everyone knew in their hearts that breaking Luoyang could only rely on their own ability, If you want to quickly pursue Dong Zhuo, the best and most direct way is to pass through the city directly, Lu Bu is to patrol the city to ensure that Dong Zhuo's brigade evacuates first, and Xu Rong of Hangu Pass also sent men and horses to respond, but Dong Zhuo left a military order for Lu Bu before leaving, that is, to burn Luoyang, and not to leave a complete imperial capital for these Kwantung coalition forces.
"General-Lord Xiangguo has an order, now they have left Luoyang for twenty miles, so we can set fire to the city!" It was Li Su who spoke, Bishui Pass and Tiger Prison Pass were thrown away again and again Li Su's face really had no brilliance, this time the task after the break was still handed over to Lu Bu and Li Su, Li Su didn't say anything in his mouth, in fact, he was already muttering in his heart, anyway, Lu Bu is also Dong Zhuo's righteous son, and he is an invincible general in the world, but now it is used to break the queen, and the soldiers and horses left for them are those old soldiers in the Royal Forest Army, looking at the fierce Guandong princes outside the city, he really has no idea of defending, However, he couldn't tell Lu Bu that Lu Bu was just a dead eye, thinking that Dong Zhuo was reusing him.
In history, Lu Bu can be said to be loyal to Dong Zhuo, and later Wang Yun constantly transferred Lu Bu, and used Diao Chan to constantly lure Lu Bu, so that Lu Bu would be carried away by the beauty and kill Dong Zhuo, if there was no Lu Bu to make a move, those officials in the court would not be the opponent of the Xiliang Army at all. So now Lu Bu wouldn't have thought that Dong Zhuo would use him as cannon fodder, how could Dong Zhuo, who could give him Maxima Chitu, be willing to let him die? He kept Dong Zhuo to keep his glory and wealth. Originally, Dong Zhuo didn't want Lu Bu to stay and break the queen, but Lu Bu still had to take the opportunity to kill a few thieves, he now knew that he couldn't beat the opponents of Dian Wei, Huang Zhong, and Zhou Yu, but if he wanted to kill the others, it was like slaughtering chickens and killing dogs.
"What time is it?" Lu Bu deliberately asked Li Su, he saw that the banners of the princes of the Eighteenth Route of Kanto outside the city were already in sight, and his hands were really a little itchy, and he wanted to go out of the city to fight back and frustrate their spirit.
"It's just three o'clock in the morning, shouldn't General Fengxian start setting fire? All the fire oil in the city has been prepared-" Li Su wanted to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible, and the civil and military officials in the court, including their families, had been coerced by 100,000 Xiliang troops towards Hangu Pass, and his family members were inevitably a little uneasy in their hearts.
"Li Su and I intersected, you and Wei Xu led an army of 3,000 men and horses to start setting fire from the east and west of the city respectively, I and Hou Cheng and others guarded the city pass, just wait for the fire together, then we will start to retreat, otherwise the fire in the city has not started, it will be against the order!" After Lu Bu sent Li Su down, he led 500 cavalry alone to open the city gate and leave the city pass.
"Report - the thief will fight Lu Bu outside!" Tanma reported that Lu Bu came to challenge, Zhou Yu felt that it was really unscientific in his ears, and now that Dong Zhuo had begun to retreat, Lu Bu must have wanted to frustrate the spirit of the Kwantung princes when he went to war now. Today he made up his mind not to make a move, and now he really has no sense of accomplishment in defeating Lu Bu.
Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu saw that no one came out, even Cao Cao and Sun Jian, who liked to actively fight, did not say anything, as for Zhou Yu, they squinted their eyes and took a nap, looking at Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu's teeth itching, and finally they locked their eyes on Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei. ”
Everyone present, including Liu Bei, knew that Yuan Shao counted Liu Bei as the nineteenth road at this time, but Liu Bei was finally able to sit on an equal footing with these people, and after he took the lead in getting up and thanking Yuan Shao, he took the initiative to ask Ying to take Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to fight against Lu Bu.
The original version of the Sanying Battle against Lu Bu was not staged outside the Tiger Prison Pass, and there was another duel outside Luoyang City, but what Zhou Yu saw was the thick smoke billowing in Luoyang City, and the east and west ends began to diffuse, and it seemed that the Xiliang Army had begun to set fire to Luoyang. Lu Bu fought with Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei for a hundred rounds without winning or losing, and the three brothers outside the Tiger Prison suffered a big loss and pondered fiercely for a long time, but they were still not Lu Bu's opponents.
There was a sudden sound of singing gold in the city, although Lu Bu was still unsatisfied, but he still forced Liu, Guan, and Zhang back to the city with one move, turned the horse's head and returned to the city, as soon as he returned to Luoyang City, Lu Bu saw that the fire in the city was unstoppable, and even inside and outside the palace were full of smoke, and the people in the city did not dare to talk nonsense to the Xiliang Army even if they were crying fathers and mothers.
Half an hour later, the Xiliang army all withdrew from Luoyang City, and the Kwantung princes stationed outside the south gate saw the banner under the city fall, only then did they realize that they had missed the opportunity, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu could order the whole army to attack the city, and after everyone worked together to open Luoyang City, Zhou Yu and Cao Cao went directly through the city to pursue Dong Zhuo, but Sun Jian was the first to go to the palace.
"Gong Jin - why don't you go and occupy the Luoyang Palace? These are all things that Zhongde and I don't understand, even if we catch up with Dong Zhuo at this time, what can we do? It's better to occupy Luoyang first - this place is a strategic place, and it's a pity to lose it! "Guo Jia and Cheng Yu both think that even if Luoyang City is burned, but he is a symbol of the death of the Han Dynasty in the eastern capital of the Han Dynasty, and occupying this place is also a good fortress, and now in terms of military strength, the Yangzhou army has a great chance of winning.
"Haha—if I say I know divination, are you new?"
