Besides, Dong Zhuo's general Zhao Cen wanted to retreat after Li Jue and Guo Si left. Knowing that Dong Zhuo had abandoned Luoyang, he offered Sishui Pass. So Sun Jian was able to drive his troops into Sishui Pass, and sent someone to report that Yuan Shao and Dong Zhuo had moved the capital and fled, and he took the lead and entered Luoyang.
After the great victory, the allied forces of the princes were ready to go all out and pursue the victory. However, despite being challenged for days, Lu Bu refused to hold on to Dong Zhuo's orders. The princes had no choice but to let their soldiers and horses surround him at a distance, while he drank and caroused, thinking that he was sure of victory. Yuan Shao repeatedly asked the princes to march, storm Hulao Pass, and capture Dong Zhuo alive. But everyone was indifferent, especially Yuan Shu, which made people feel helpless. This is of course, no one wants to lose strength, and attacking a city consumes the most strength.
On this day, Yuan Shaozheng was discussing with Tian Feng, Zhao Yun and others about taking a detour to advance the army, because he knew that Dong Zhuo would burn Luoyang, move the capital and escape, but he didn't know the specific time. But now that we know it, we must find a way to stop it, so that we can live up to the name of a time traveler.
The generals didn't understand the detour to advance the troops. If we weren't fighting well now, why would we take a detour and take unnecessary risks?
Yuan Shao told everyone about Dong Zhuo's plan to move the capital to escape and the burning of Luoyang, saying that it was his own analysis.
They all didn't believe it, thinking that who would leave a powerful pass without guarding it, throw it away, and even burn it, wouldn't he be a fool?
Tian Feng felt that it might happen, and supported it by saying, "What the lord said is true. A dog will jump over the wall if he is anxious. Dong Zhuo is not like a human king. He will do anything to be just in case."
The generals were stunned and still doubtful.
During the discussion, Cao Cao was suddenly seen stumbling over, and he cried bitterly when he saw Yuan Shao.
"Benchu, something bad has happened. Dong Zhuo robbed the emperor and fled to Chang'an. He actually, dared to burn Luoyang. Doesn't he know what Luoyang is? It is the capital and the imperial capital. How dare he, how dare he do this?" , he bit his lip while crying and the blood flowed, which shows how angry Cao Cao was.
What, burning Luoyang, this is too brave, even Luoyang dares to burn. When they heard that the situation was as expected by their lord, all the generals were in an uproar. They all gritted their teeth and prepared to kill Dong Zhuo to satisfy their hatred.
Dong Zhuo did indeed do this. It seems that historical events will not be changed easily, no matter who you are. But it's okay, at least I know almost all the major events, so I can predict them in advance, seize the best resources, and crush everything.
Yuan Shao pretended to be surprised and said, "The old thief Dong Zhuo is so hateful, but he is so rampant. Meng De, don't panic, let's go together to gather the army, rush into Luoyang, and avenge the Han Dynasty."
Before Yuan Shao arrived, the princes got the news and gathered together. They didn't want to miss this great feat.
Yuan Shao didn't waste any time and led the army straight into Hulao Pass. There was no resistance along the way. The allied forces of the princes did not waste a moment and rushed into Luoyang to rescue him.
Before arriving in Luoyang, I saw from a distance that the flames of the capital were rising into the sky, black smoke was covering the ground, and for two to three hundred miles, there was no human habitation. Dong Zhuo had fled for a long time, and all that was left was the light of fire and thick smoke. It's true that they came here in good spirits and returned in disgrace. Everyone has begun to think about quitting.
Sun Jian arrived first and sent troops to put out the fire. When he saw the princes arriving, he came to greet them and recounted the previous events. He led the crowd to visit the ancestral temple of the Han Dynasty. They saw that it was getting late and the princes were camping on the wasteland to camp their troops and horses. However, he gathered in Yuan Shao's tent to discuss whether to send troops to pursue Dong Zhuo.
Just as he sat down, Cao Cao was fully armed and was the first to say, "Dong's thieves burned the palace and robbed the emperor. The sea was shaken and he didn't know where he was going. This is the time when heaven is destroyed. One battle will end the world. Why do you have no doubts and don't advance?" "
Yuan Shu has long wanted to return to his hometown to take over everything from the Yuan family, so why not leave while he takes advantage of this opportunity.
Angrily, he answered, "The soldiers are tired, so it may be useless to advance."
Yes, Dong Zhuo has escaped, and he doesn’t know where he is now. Besides, Luoyang has been burned down, and there is no benefit. Why go after Dong Zhuo? Otherwise, he will lose his troops. It is better not to move, and it is better to withdraw early. All the princes said not to move lightly.
Cao Cao saw that all the princes had their own selfish intentions and were not trustworthy. Looking at Yuan Shao, he asked expectantly, "Today Thief Dong is heading west, and we can take advantage of the opportunity to pursue him. Why is the leader of the alliance standing still?"
Yuan Shao smiled and said, "It's too late for sex today, let's discuss it someday."
Cao Cao thought that Yuan Shao was evading and said angrily, "Shu Zi is not enough to make plans!".
Then he led more than ten thousand troops, taking advantage of the darkness of night to lead Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Li Dian, and Le Jin to drive away Dong Zhuo at starry night.
The princes and others had nothing to say and left unhappy.
After Yuan Shao sent away the princes, he ordered Yan Liang to beat the drum and gather the generals to discuss sending troops.
Yan Liang took the order and finished playing the drums. All the generals were neatly dressed and went to the commander's tent to wait for the Lord's orders.
Yuan Shao was very satisfied when he saw that the troops were in good order, and without any nonsense, he gave the order directly.
"Where is Zhao Yun?"
"The general is here," Zhao Yun said in response.
"Mengde's departure here is very dangerous. I order you to lead five thousand troops to meet Cao Cao first. I will arrive soon."
"Zilong takes the order." Zhao Yun accepted the order very excitedly.
When the generals saw that Zhao Yun had a mission, they all looked at their lord expectantly. Yuan Shao did not disappoint them and continued to give orders.
"Where are Zhang Liao and Zhang He?".
The second general walked out of the battle line excitedly and responded.
"Dong Zhuo robs the people, but he will not be able to get far. You and I, lead 15,000 people and march under the stars at night. Regardless of fighting, go and rescue the people. As many as you can rescue. Remember not to be greedy for credit."
"I will obey my Lord's orders."
The lord really cares about the people, so such a big thing will definitely come true, the two of them gratefully accepted the order.
"Yan Liang and Wen Chou led the remaining soldiers and horses and joined me to support Zilong."
"yes"
"yes"
Two angry responses came from behind the second general.
"The Shadow Camp leaves Yuan Hao and Ziyuan as guards," Yuan Shao then ordered.
"Yuan Fang accepts the order," Yuan Fang promised.
Tian Feng was very grateful when he heard that Yuan Shao had arranged this. He interjected, "My lord, you don't have to be like this. Now is the time to employ people. General Yuan Fang should be allowed to protect your lord. Don't worry about us."
After saying that, he bowed to the ground and asked the Lord to take back his life.
Tian Feng is indeed loyal, but in comparison, Xu You is far behind. This guy has been worried about who will protect him when Yuan Shao sends troops. After hearing Yuan Shao's arrangements, he breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing Tian Feng like this again, he immediately lost his composure and complained a little bit about him. Yuan Shao saw this.
"Sir, there is no need to be like this. I have made a plan. Don't worry, sir. If I win and you lose, what's the point? In my opinion, your value is far higher than anything else." Yuan Shao stepped forward and hurriedly Help Tian Feng up.
These words made Tian Feng burst into tears and shed tears of gratitude. The soldier died for his confidant, secretly vowing to break his body to pieces in order to repay his lord's great kindness. All the generals were grateful and felt that they had followed the wrong lord.
The generals followed the order and left. Zhao Yun and others advanced first, followed by Yuan Shao, and Tian Feng and others stayed behind at the camp. It was a bright moonlit night, so they were ready to fight.
