The coalition forces are still some distance away from Luoyang City, but the billowing smoke that soars into the sky and the flames that redden half of the sky are still so far apart that they are still clearly visible.

Can be imagined.

What a monstrous fire this is!
Yuan Shao and the others all looked horrified, and countless thoughts popped up in their minds.

The fire was burning in the direction of Luoyang City, and it was possible to create such a large-scale scene, so what exactly was burning.

Everyone had an ominous premonition in their hearts.

"Send the order, immediately change the formation, the vanguard clears the way, the left and right wings defend the two sides, the Chinese army runs forward, and the whole army marches up and down to Luoyang!"

After Yuan Shao hastily issued an order.

The army immediately rushed towards Luoyang City at the fastest speed. As the distance between the two sides continued to narrow, the black smoke in the sky became thicker and the fire became more and more intense.

And after he could vaguely see the outline of Luoyang City.

The scouts who were sent out to investigate ahead also rushed back at this moment.

Yuan Shao immediately ordered that the three armies rest in place.

"What happened in the front?!"

As soon as the scouts got off their horses, Cao Cao and the others could not wait to surround them.

The leader of the scout team, after hearing the inquiry, hurriedly bowed to everyone, and then said in a hurried tone.

"Reporting to the generals, I was running all the way forward. When I arrived at the city of Luoyang, I found that the city was ablaze, and the billowing black smoke seen in the distance was rising from the city."

"Based on our judgment, the place where the fire broke out should be located in the middle of Luoyang City."

"In addition, the four gates of Luoyang City are open, and there is no one walking around on the top of the city. I waited boldly and swayed in front of the city gate with a fast horse. I didn't hear much movement in the city. Such a big The intensity of the fire, and no one was there to put out the fire, really made the villain feel puzzled."

As this information continues to be revealed.

Everyone's complexion became more and more ugly.

The pro-Han faction and royalist faction headed by Cao Cao are even more ashen-faced at this moment.

The heroes present are not fools.

Relying on the phenomena detected by these scouts, they have already been able to analyze a lot of information.

In the middle of Luoyang City, where the North and South Palaces are located, such a monstrous fire was ignited, and after such a long time, it was still not extinguished, but it burned more and more vigorously, indicating that the fire could only be set by people.

At this time, who has the ability to set fire to Luoyang City and not allow others to save it?

Dong Zhuo!

And this guy couldn't possibly have set himself on fire in the palace, and the soldiers reported that there was no one on the top of Luoyang City, and there was no movement of firefighting in the city, as if the city was completely empty.

Under the combination of the two.

Many people have already guessed the truth.

Dong Zhuo probably led his troops to escape from Luoyang, and before leaving, he set off a monstrous fire, intending to burn the palaces of Luoyang to the ground.

thought here.

How could anyone be able to sit still!
They ordered the soldiers under their command to march as fast as possible without any delay.

……

And under the rush of the coalition forces.

More than an hour later.

The princes from all walks of life arrived at the shore of Luoshui, and saw the towering Luoyang City standing in front of them.

It's just that at this moment, this mighty city in the world has become a mess, and it will never be the same as it used to be.

The city gate really opened.

There was no one on the top of the city, and even the city gate flags scattered here and there could still be seen.

In addition to that is black smoke!

Everywhere you look is a black mist like thick ink.

This scene really made everyone who saw it stare with anger, and their hearts were shocked!
Too late to say so much.

The heroes from all walks of life immediately organized people to enter the city to fight the fire, and the fire must be cut off first.

Otherwise, if the fire continues to spread, the fire is likely to spread to the outer city, and the entire Luoyang city will be reduced to a mass of ashes at that time.

Fortunately, the city is adjacent to Luoshui.

There are plenty of soldiers.

He has the congenital fire-fighting conditions, otherwise he really can only watch outside the city, waiting for the fire to finish.

……

At the moment outside the east gate.

Cao Cao stared straight ahead with a gloomy expression.

Looking at the dark imprint on the city wall, and through the city gate, one can faintly see the crumbling corpses.

Listening to the creaking sound of wood being burned and broken from time to time in the city, and the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground.

Then I looked at the soldiers who were busy fighting the fire on the left and right, but it was still difficult to reduce the fire a little bit.

His eyes are tearing apart!
He clenched his fists with his hands and clenched his teeth, as if all the strength in his body had already burst out.

Full of anger rose from his chest, as if it was going to swallow him up in an instant and burn him up.

Dong Zhuo, you bastard!It's a real beast!
Cao Cao hates it!

I can't wait to eat his flesh and sleep on his skin. Even if the hatred is poured all over the world, it can't be washed away.

Burning the palace and leaving Luoyang City with the emperor and the princes of the Manchu Dynasty, this is definitely the most shameless, worst, and bottomless behavior in Cao Cao's view.

This is throwing the face of the Han family surnamed Liu in the mud, and even trampling it with their feet, maybe even urinating on it.

After all, even the capital of a country was burned.

The entire central court has been taken over by one pot, and now it is unknown where it has been kidnapped. What kind of face is there for such a great Han Dynasty?

Thinking of this.

Cao Cao, who has always claimed to be a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty and loyal to the Han Dynasty, felt worse than death, as if there was an invisible knife in his heart, cutting off the flesh one by one.

Not to mention wantonly trampling and killing the people in the capital.

The surrounding area of ​​Luoyang is already empty, and along the way, there are almost no villages with living people. There are more bones and remains scattered on the ground than there are living people.

As for the excavation of the clan's tomb, there is no need to mention it, it is already considered a small crime.

There are many crimes like this.

Is it tolerable, which is unbearable? !
If Dong Zhuo stood in front of him now, Cao Cao would probably use the most cruel method in the world to execute Dong Zhuo to death, even if he cut him into pieces, it would be hard to vent his hatred!

Think about it here.

Cao Cao immediately turned around and walked quickly towards the temporary camp of the Chinese army.

……

In the tent at the moment.

The atmosphere was quite quiet.

Yuan Shao was sitting at the head seat, and the rest of the people were lined up on the left and right, and they were silent. Some people were already closed their eyes and meditating, and they didn't know what they were thinking.

And Cao Cao's footsteps.

It was in this situation that the atmosphere was broken.

"Shh!"

After opening the curtain, Cao Cao walked in from outside the tent. Following his figure, the dazzling sunlight from outside made everyone turn their eyes to him.

Cao Cao first bowed to everyone.

Then he walked quickly to Yuan Shao.

"Leader, right now Dong Zhuo is fleeing in a hurry, and our soldiers are in full swing. If we don't lead our troops to pursue him at this moment, when will we wait?"

These words immediately attracted everyone's attention.

But after Yuan Shao heard the words at first glance.

He raised his head to look at Cao Cao, and moved his lips, as if he wanted to say something, but after a while, he could only turn into silence.

Cao Cao saw this situation.

He frowned slightly.

But he still took a step forward and persuaded in an extremely sincere and earnest tone: "Thief Dong burned the palace and robbed the emperor and all the officials and officials. This is an atrocity that shocked the whole country and made people all over the world indignant."

"Now Luoyang is caught in the fire, and the emperor is also in his hands. If the thief cannot be eliminated and the emperor can be taken back, the subjects of the whole world may be terrified and do not know where to go. This will surely overthrow the country and the country!"

"At the beginning, don't stand still, order to send troops to pursue!"

Cao Cao's will is firm.

The words were impassioned.

It made it difficult for Yuan Shao to avoid answering.

After pondering for a while.

Yuan Shaocai forced a smile, and said with some difficulty: "Dong Zhuo set fire to the palace and robbed the emperor, this is what he was prepared for."

"Thief Dong may have already run quite a distance, and may even lay an ambush along the way, waiting for us to go after him."

"If you act recklessly and blindly lead your troops to chase after him, you will be calculating your intentions without thinking, and you may fall into the trap of Dong Bandit. Not only will you not be able to kill Dong Bandit at that time, but you may lose your troops and generals."

"So this matter must be discussed in the long run!"

……

Yuan Shao's refusal made Cao Cao a little impatient.

If it weren't for him alone, it would not be enough to fight against Dong Zhuo. Cao Cao might have already led his troops to chase him, so there is no need to persuade others here.

Right now, only by persuading Yuan Shao, and letting Yuan Shao command the heroes as the leader of the alliance, and mobilize the entire alliance army to go all the way westward, and continue to chase Dong Zhuo, will it be possible to kill the weeds in one go.

So after Yuan Shao vetoed.

Cao Cao paced back and forth a little irritably, and then spoke again.

"Why did Dong Zhuo flee Luoyang in a hurry? Isn't it because of worry and fear of our army's front?"

"The previous battles have already broken Dong Zhuo's courage. On the contrary, our army's morale is high. If we don't take this opportunity to destroy Dong Zhuo, if we wait for him to catch his breath, I'm afraid we will miss this opportunity!"

Speaking of it.

Cao Cao looked back.

Seeing the people on the left and right of Liezuo, their complexions changed slightly, but most of them were Gujing Wubo.

Can't help frowning deeper.

But he continued to persuade with a passionate tone.

"The reason why Bandit Dong burned the palace was to slow us down. From this, it can be seen that he is not too prepared."

"Besides, this thief is engulfing the Son of Heaven, hundreds of officials and ministers, and even many common people in Luoyang City. It is inconvenient to march along the way. The formation must be scattered and the marching speed is low."

"If our army marches in a hurry to catch up, we will be able to catch up with Dong thief before dark, and we can catch him by surprise, and we will definitely win a big victory!"

"At the beginning, there are also generals, everyone may wish to think about it, the words are really sincere!"

Cao Cao's words are sincere.

But everyone remained indifferent.

Only the people who formed the alliance in Chenliu back then stood firmly with Cao Cao, and they still showed a little fighting spirit at the moment, but with the strength of these few people, it was useless to add up.

If there is no help from the two Yuan family sons.

It is useless to catch up with Dong Zhuo.

So Cao Cao hoped that Yuan Shao would agree.

However, League Leader Yuan's next words completely stifled the hope in Cao Cao's heart.

……

"Meng De, please sit still!"

"Our army has marched all the way from Yanshi County. After repeated marches, the troops have already been exhausted, and all the generals and schools are exhausted."

"Besides, after several battles in succession before, all the troops present here have been damaged, and morale is not only low, but rather low."

"Even if I give the order to pursue Dong Zhuo, I'm afraid it will cause resentment among the three armies. Even if I catch up, they probably won't be able to fight against him."

speak here.

Yuan Shao pointed at Luoyang City, where the camp is facing, and then persuaded him patiently.

"Currently Luoyang is being burned by the fire. The most urgent task is to extinguish the fire and rescue the remaining places that have not been affected by the fire."

"As for the pursuit of Dong Zhuo, we can discuss a proper solution after our army rests. It's not too late then!"

Yuan Shao said a lot.

But the core meaning is one.

We can discuss other things, but let's go after Dong Zhuo, sorry, we don't have this plan.

Such an attitude made Cao Cao anxious.

Just haven't waited for him to say anything.

Wang Kuang, the prefect of Hanoi, stood up and walked quickly to Cao Cao. He first bowed his hands to him, and then persuaded him in the same way.

"Meng De, the leader's words are not bad. Regardless of others, just talking about myself, the thousands of elite soldiers have already lost more than half of their casualties, and there are very few people left to fight. How can we go after Dong Zhuo with such a wounded situation?"

Liu Dai, governor of Yanzhou, also held the same attitude.

"It's not that I didn't do my best. I just chased blindly. Not only would it not be effective, but it would also damage my troops. It's not a wise move!"

The people who were silent at first started to speak at this moment, one after another, one after another, trying to persuade Cao Cao.

For a while, except for Zhang Miao, Bao Xin and others.

The rest of the people all held the same attitude as Yuan Shao.

……

Such a situation.

Seeing Cao Cao felt a chill in his heart.

He is also a member of the coalition forces, and he knows better than anyone else what state everyone is in now.

Take Hanoi prefect Wang Kuang as an example.

What do you mean most casualties?

Such words are fooling ghosts!
The entire coalition had at least [-] troops at the time of the alliance, and after various losses along the way, it still has nearly [-] troops.

And Dong Zhuoman will not exceed this number with all his calculations.

As long as you dare to send troops to pursue.

Then you must have an advantage.

But right now, everyone doesn't consider this at all, and refuses with various excuses.

Cao Cao knew a little bit.

No matter how much I persuaded myself, it was useless.

It's not that everyone doesn't understand the benefits and necessity of chasing Dong Zhuo, but that you don't want to continue to expand your losses, and feel that driving Dong Zhuo out of Luoyang is almost enough.

Never wake up a person who pretends to be asleep.

for a while.

Disappointment filled Cao Cao's heart.

It made him feel a little sad.

When the evil blood was an alliance, each other's words were convincing, and they all said that they would work together to help the Han Dynasty.

However, until now, the original intention has been forgotten.

All of them only cared about their own one-third of an acre of land, and only wanted to preserve the strength in their hands.

As for the oath of the covenant, it has long been forgotten, which really made Cao Cao feel cold.

Actually before today.

Many encounters along the way.

It has already made Cao Cao understand that although everyone is in the alliance, they are not of one mind, but have their own calculations and plans.

Personal interests are still higher than public interest.

But he always believed that it was because Dong Zhuo was very strong. Once Dong Zhuo appeared to be weak, everyone would still rush to kill Dong Zhuo.

Now it is obvious how wrong he was.

Hang out with such a group of people.

There is really nothing to say.

Cao Cao looked at Yuan Shao, who was still like a statue, and then glanced behind him, still trying to persuade his heroes one after another.

He waved his sleeves involuntarily.

Then he walked quickly to the outside of the tent.

Just the moment he lifted the curtain.

Cao Cao paused.

Then he turned around suddenly and shouted angrily at everyone.

"Shuzi is insufficient and conspiracy!"
