Chapter 304

Dong Zhuo sat motionless on the ground, his expression suddenly aged a lot.

His lips trembled, and Dong Zhuo suddenly said, "Wenyou, have we done something wrong to support our troops to Beijing?"

Li Ru sighed at Dong Zhuo's loss of confidence, but did not show it.

"What did the prime minister say? In the past, King Wen was imprisoned in Chaoge City, and his life and death depended on his jailer's hand. Later, the Zhou tribe established his country for 800 years through Muye war. Gaozu was granted Nanzheng by King Xiang, and Zhang Han and other people were the three kings of Qin. In the end, King Xiang committed suicide in Wujiang. How can the prime minister belittle himself

Li Ru solemnly said: "although our army has failed in succession, at least there are still a large army of 100000 people sitting in Bingzhou. They can retreat temporarily and plan it slowly."

Dong Zhuo finally had some spirit: "Oh?"

Dong min and Xu Rong died one after another, and fan Hou was in a hurry. Liu Ye and Yuan Shu joined forces to March eastward with 100000 troops. It was said that Yuan Shao in Hanoi was also ready to move. Dong Zhuo was exhausted physically and mentally, and did not know what to do.

Li Ru said: "our army occupied Binzhou before, but if we withdraw from Luoyang, we will get nothing at most. Besides, the emperor is still in our army's hands. Liu Ye and Yuan Shu are traitors. Can't we worry about the safety of the emperor?"

Quit Luoyang?

Dong zhuopo was a little reluctant. It happened that he Jin was against the ten constant attendants. He seized the opportunity to enter Luoyang, but now he has to retire in disgrace.

Li Ru also advised: "prime minister, before our army leaves, we can move the people in the city to Bingzhou, blackmail the rich and powerful people in the city, excavate the imperial mausoleum and enrich the military posture. Nowadays, all the heroes in the world are together. Our army is sitting in Bingzhou and watching the battles among the heroes in the world and waiting for the opportunity to send troops. Even if we can't achieve the imperial career, it will not be a problem for us to be a king."

After some meditation, Dong Zhuo nodded.

"Good! Lv Bu was ordered to return to Hulao pass to prevent Yuan Shao from going south. Fan Hou insisted on Guarding Hangu pass, and he could not attack easily. If he kept Hangu pass, there would be many awards. "

"Let Li and Guo Si lead the bear army to plunder the rich and powerful families in the city, order Zhang Ji to excavate the imperial mausoleum overnight, move the people in the city, and immediately withdraw to Hexi, and order Duan simmer to lead the army to meet him!"

Seeing that Dong Zhuo finally recovered from the gloom, Li Ru was relieved and agreed.

"Don't worry, the prime minister. I'll go down to supervise it now."

Liu Ye's successive victories in Guanxi finally aroused Dong Zhuo's strong uneasiness. With Liu Ye and Yuan Shu's two-way coalition forces pressing down on Hangu pass, Dong Zhuo was finally unable to support him and was determined to get out of the mire of Luoyang.

Dong Zhuo first gave orders to fan Hou and Lv Bu, and ordered them to stick to Hangu pass and Hulao pass respectively. Although fan Hou was afraid of Liu Ye and Yuan Shu's "100000 army", he was Dong Zhuo's direct general after all, so he still stuck to Hangu pass.

But Lv Bu did not agree with Dong Zhuo's orders, and he still stayed in Yanzhou. However, as Dong Zhuo's words became more and more severe, he wanted to cut off the supply of grain and grass to Lv Bu. Lv Bu had no choice but to withdraw from Chen Liu and retreat to Hulao pass. Although Dong Zhuo successfully restrained Lv Bu, he also planted the seeds of discord between them.

April 23 is destined to be an unusual day.

On this day, almost all the rich and powerful families in Luoyang City were ransacked. Li and Guo Si went door to door with the flying bear army. However, all the rich people with names and surnames were found in Luoyang.

This group of flying bears killed civilians in Luoyang on weekdays without authorization. Because of their status, they could not fight against big families. However, Prime Minister Dong gave an order, and two generals Li Guo led the team in person. Naturally, his subordinates showed no mercy.

Treasure, silk and satin, all taken away. Women, old and young, no matter whether they have been married or not, they are all taken away.

As for Zhang Ji's work, it is even more indignant. The Han Dynasty was divided into the eastern and Western Han Dynasties by Wang Mang's rebellion, and their capitals were respectively set in Luoyang and Chang'an. Naturally, the tombs of the emperors of the two Han Dynasties and more than 20 dynasties were of their own.

Zhang Ji, with Dong's cavalry, went directly into the Royal Cemetery. All the more than ten Imperial Mausoleums of the Eastern Han Dynasty were excavated. The corpses were exposed in the wild, and all the objects buried with them were excavated.

Lu Zhi, a great scholar of the imperial court, was furious: "Dong bandits who dug up the tombs of the previous emperors are rogue officials and thieves. What is Wang Mang's comparison?"

The court ministers loyal to the Han Dynasty naturally burst into tears, but Dong Zhuo was not moved. It can be said that Dong Zhuo was bold.

After robbing the rich and powerful families in the city and excavating the funerary objects in the imperial mausoleum, Dong Zhuo finally took out his assassin's mace.

Move the capital!

In the palace, Dong Zhuo said to the little emperor Liu Xie Nian: "the traitors Liu Ye, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others have no son of heaven. They gather all the thieves to besiege the imperial capital. Luoyang is in a precarious state. The minister suggests that his majesty move the capital of Jinyang and preserve the ancestral temple."

Ancestral temple? Didn't you dig the grave long ago?

Liu Xie was young and was a puppet emperor. Naturally, he agreed with all of them.

After Dong Zhuo played, he forced the emperor, civil and military officials, and more than 400000 people around Luoyang City to move to Bingzhou, and then set a fire to Luoyang City.

After seeing the smoke and fire in Luoyang, fan Hou and Lu Bu, who were stationed in Hangu pass, immediately led their troops to retreat and chase Dong Zhuo.Yuan Shao, who was stationed in Hanoi, saw Dong Zhuo fleeing, and immediately set out to pursue him. However, he did not realize that he was just caught in the plot of Li Ru. Lu Bu ambushed on the way, and when Yuan Shao, the leader of the army, came, he suddenly killed him.

Lu Bu's reputation is far-reaching. When the Hanoi allied forces saw Lv Bu suddenly killed, he was killed by Bingzhou iron cavalry for a while, and immediately broke down.

However, Lv Bu's troops were limited, and he didn't want to damage them too much. After all, the reason why Dong Zhuo attached so much importance to him was that he mainly valued the 20000 troops under his command. If the 20000 troops were damaged too much, could Dong Zhuo still pay attention to him?

Therefore, Lu Bu withdrew after a while, and the Hanoi coalition forces fled for a while. Yuan Shao gathered up the defeated generals and stationed in Hanoi again. He did not dare to act rashly, but watched the situation.

Fan Hou withdrew his troops from Hangu pass, leaving only a group of old and weak men behind.

Seeing this, Liu Ye immediately orders Zhang jaw to make a tentative attack. As a result, he attacks all at once.

After closing the old, weak, sick and disabled, he inquires about fan Hou's whereabouts. Knowing that Dong Zhuo has fled, Liu Ye makes a decision to join Yuan Shu and kill him in Luoyang.

Fifty thousand troops rolled forward without stopping. When they arrived in Luoyang, they could only see the smoke billowing and the flames smoldering in the sky.

Luoyang is the capital of a hundred years old. After seeing this, Liu Ye and Yuan Shu were naturally surprised and rushed to command the army to put out the fire, especially the direction of the imperial palace.

Fortunately, Liu Ye and Yuan Shu arrived quickly, and 50000 troops tried their best. Although the fire in Luoyang City was very big, after a whole day's work, the fire was finally under control. However, half of Luoyang City was destroyed, and the common people were in a desperate situation.

Seeing this, Liu Ye immediately decided to provide relief to the people with military food, and at the same time allocated a large amount of grain and grass from the direction of Guanzhong.
