When Li Ru heard Dong Zhuo's words, his expression kept changing.

"If the palace cannot be taken away, just burn it down!"

After a while, Li Ru said this with a very ugly face.

Several counselors in Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu's hall were stunned when they heard Li Ru's words.

A few days ago, when Li Ru mentioned moving the capital, they were very shocked..

Now Li Ru not only wants to move the capital to Chang'an, but also burns down the palace in Luoyang.

Since Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty Liu Xiu established the Eastern Han Dynasty,

Luoyang has been the capital. For every generation of emperors after Liu Xiu, the palace has been in Luoyang.

It has been almost two years now. The century-old palace, Li Ru wants to burn it down with fire

"Sir, if you move the capital with the emperor's money and ministers, you don't need to burn the palace, right?"

Lü Bu looked at Li Ru, his voice trembling.

He had always been afraid of Li Ru, and Lü Bu was shocked that this man dared to poison the young emperor.

Now he not only persuades his adoptive father to move the capital, but also burns down the palace.

Once word spreads If you go out, you will definitely be scolded by everyone in the world.

"General Fengxian's words are reasonable. If you burn down the palace, you will be reviled by everyone in the world."

"As long as the emperor and ministers are under the control of the grand master, the palace does not need to be burned down!"

Several counselors in the hall also suggested not to burn the palace. They did not want to be insulted by the world in the future.

Dong Zhuo also hesitated after hearing what Lu Bu and several other counselors said.

In order to support Emperor Xian, he poisoned the young emperor before, which was also done in secret. He just doesn’t want to bear the reputation of regicide.

If he takes the emperor to move the capital now, the people of the world will definitely scold him. If he burns the palace again, Zhuo will be scolded by the people of the world. He still has some hesitations about burning the palace.

Li Ru looked at Dong Zhuo's face and knew that Dong Zhuo was still hesitant.

"Report to the Grand Master!"

"When the emperor and those ministers saw that the palace was burned down, they gave up the idea of ​​staying in Luoyang."

"In this way, the emperor and his ministers could only listen to the Taishi's advice and follow the Taishi to Chang'an."

"These princes came to Luoyang with their armies, but all they got was a burned-down palace and no benefits."

"When people in the world know that the palace was burned down, they will definitely scold these princes."

"After all, these princes invaded Luoyang and failed to protect the palace."

"The Grand Master has already been accused of moving the capital, so why not be accused of burning down the palace?"

26 Li Ru said with a sneer on his face.

He was always an unscrupulous person. In his opinion, everything Dong Zhuo did to dominate the world was worth it.

He personally did it to poison the young emperor, and moved the capital and burned down the palace. In his opinion, It’s not a big deal, I’ll just bear some infamy.

After hearing Li Ru’s words, Dong Zhuo lowered his head and thought for a moment, then raised his head and looked at the crowd and said:

"Just do what Wen You said and burn down the palace, leaving a ruin for people like Yuan Shao."

Dong Zhuo is also a cruel person, otherwise Li Ru would not assist him.

"Yes!"

Lü Bu, Li Ru and others took the order and left the Grand Master's Mansion one after another. Following Dong Zhuo's order, Luoyang City instantly became chaotic.

Lu Bu led his Xiliang army to the home of the minister in Luoyang City.

Looking at these Minister Lu Bu issued Dong Zhuo's order and took his family and property with him to Chang'an.

Some ministers were afraid of Dong Zhuo's power, so they took their relatives and money on carriages and left Luoyang City.

Some ministers insisted not to leave Luoyang City, and Xiliang Without saying a word, the army killed all these ministers and their families, and all their properties were confiscated by these Xiliang troops.

Throughout Luoyang City, carriages left Luoyang one after another.

Dong Zhuo was sitting on a specially made carriage, and there was someone wearing a yellow robe in the carriage. the young emperor

"The Prime Minister has arranged for soldiers to set fire to the palace!"

A soldier opened the curtain of the carriage and looked at Dong Zhuo and said.

Dong Zhuo, who was sitting in the carriage, had a smile on his face when he heard the soldier's words.

Once the palace was burned down, those ministers would only go to Chang'an with him obediently.

Hulao On the way from Guan to Luoyang, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and other princes rode war horses at the front.

Behind them were their generals, and at the back were their respective armies.

At the banquet at Hulao Pass, Yuan Shao and other princes learned that Dong Zhuo was going to move the capital..

It took only two days to adjust the troops and lead the army to Luoyang.

"Brother Meng De came to Luoyang this time and met the emperor. You are a great hero!"

Yuan Shao looked at Cao Cao beside him with a smile on his face.

"You all have made great contributions to Luoyang this time. Your Majesty will definitely reward you greatly."

"It is not that easy for Dong Zhuo, a thief, to take the emperor out of Luoyang City."

"Rescue the emperor and get promoted to a noble position!"

With a smile on their faces, several princes immediately led the army into Luoyang City. Everyone was very excited.

Although Dong Zhuo wanted to move the capital with the emperor, they thought Dong Zhuo would not be so fast.

They even thought of rescuing the emperor. The emperor Sitting on the throne, they were rewarded.

Soon the army came to Luoyang City. Everyone was stunned when they entered Luoyang City.

The streets were in chaos, with discarded debris everywhere.

Some houses along the road were burned to ashes. , Everywhere they went was miserable.

Soon the princes rode their war horses to the location of the palace. They were stunned when they saw the scene in front of them. There were hundreds of soldiers wearing black clothes standing in front of the palace. In front of the soldiers was a black figure. The young man in clothes holds a silver gun in his hand

"According to the lord's military advisor, dozens of villains outside the palace who were preparing to set fire to fire have been killed by the general!"

Zhao Yun looked at Cao Cao and Lin Yuan and bowed his hands.

Lin Yuan looked at the intact palace in front of him with a smile on his face.

Sure enough, luck was still on his side, after Hulao Pass was captured.

He knew that Li Ru Knowing that Hulao Pass had been captured, Dong Zhuo would definitely move the capital immediately.

Once the capital was moved, Li Ru would also arrange for soldiers to burn the palace.

Lin Yuan sent Zhao Yun with hundreds of well-trained soldiers to ambush outside Luoyang City.

Once it was discovered that Dong Zhuo was moving the capital with the emperor, he immediately led his soldiers into Luoyang City.

Lin Yuan had only one task for Zhao Yun, which was to save the palace while ensuring his own safety.

He didn't know whether he could save the palace, so he could only do his best to listen to the personnel. Destiny!

Now it seems that Zhao Yun saved the palace, and Li Ru's plan to burn the palace failed to come true.

"Meng De, Lin Yuan, why is this?"

Yuan Shao looked at Zhao Yun and the black-clothed soldiers behind him with a hint of doubt on his face.

The other princes looked at these soldiers with doubts on their faces.

"Since Dong Zhuo wants to move the capital, he will definitely not leave any money or food for you."

"My military advisor believed that Li Ru was likely to burn down the palace and arranged for soldiers to ambush outside Luoyang City in advance."

"Once Dong Zhuo began to move the capital, these soldiers sneaked into Luoyang City to ensure that the palace did not burn down."

Cao Cao looked at Yuan Shao and other princes and told the reason of the matter.

Everyone heard a trace of cold sweat on the back of their necks after hearing Cao Cao's words. Li Ru actually wanted to burn the palace.

Once the palace was burned, the news spread throughout the world, and they princes also had It is an unshirkable responsibility to be reviled by everyone in the world.

Thinking of this, everyone looked at Lin Yuan with a hint of gratitude in their eyes

"Military Advisor Lin Yuan is indeed very resourceful and we admire him."

"Thanks to Military Advisor Lin Yuan for saving the palace"

"Everyone in the world admires the righteousness of military advisors!"

The princes looked at Lin Yuan and began to praise him. Lin Yuan's strategy saved them princes from being scolded by the people in the world.

Cao Cao also looked at Lin Yuan with a trace of gratitude in his eyes.

"Report to the leader!"

"The homes of all the ministers in Luoyang City were empty, leaving only empty houses."

A soldier came to Yuan Shao and saluted with his hands raised.

"In addition to holding the emperor hostage, Dong Zhuo also took away all the ministers."

Yuan Shao thought for a moment and said in a cold voice.

"My lord, it’s time to take action!"

Lin Yuan looked at Cao Cao on the side and whispered in his ear.

Hearing Lin Yuan's words, Cao Cao reacted.

Just now, he was only thinking about the palace and forgot about what Lin Yuan told him.

"Leader Yuan, judging from the traces of entering Luoyang City"

"Dong Zhuo left Luoyang City not long ago. Dong Zhuo moved slowly with his money, food and ministers."

"Now lead the army to pursue Dong Zhuo, and you will definitely be able to catch up."

Cao Cao looked at Yuan Shao with a serious face.

There was a trace of hesitation on Yuan Shao's face when he heard Cao Cao's words. He led the army into Luoyang and no longer wanted to pursue Dong Zhuo.

The palace was intact here, and he could be regarded as defeating Dong Zhuo and successfully entered Luoyang.

What's more, Even if Dong Zhuo left Luoyang City, he would still have a large number of Xiliang troops around him.

If he brought a large army to fight with the Xiliang troops, he would only lose his troops.

When the other princes heard Cao Cao's words, they did not speak.

After entering Luoyang, they did not want to They were chasing Dong Zhuo.

They still had some fear in their hearts towards Dong Zhuo's Xiliang army.

Looking at the expressions of Yuan Shao and other princes, Cao Cao sneered in his heart.

Sure enough, as the military advisor said, these princes would not be there when entering Luoyang City. Led a large army to pursue Dong Zhuo.

Even if Luoyang turned into an empty city, these princes would not be willing to part with the victory.

"Brother Meng De, this time the princes conquered Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo escaped from Luoyang with his army, which has already made a great contribution."

"Dong Zhuo is now protected by the Xiliang army. Even if he catches up, he will not be able to save the emperor, and will also cause casualties to the army."

"Why not just stop here and hold a celebration banquet for all the heroes in Luoyang?"

Yuan Shao looked at Cao Cao and said with a smile on his face. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Although the emperor was not rescued and Luoyang City became an empty city, at least Dong Zhuo was forced out of Luoyang.

Yuan Shao believed that the princes It’s still meritorious, so it’s not an exaggeration to celebrate.

"Yes, Brother Meng De, you did a great job in capturing Luoyang. You must have a few more drinks."

"Dong Zhuo has escaped from Luoyang and will not become a great weapon. Brother Meng De does not need to worry."

When other princes heard what Yuan Shao said, they also tried to persuade Cao Cao.

They had the same idea as Yuan Shao. They had already won a great victory after entering Luoyang City, and pursuing Dong Zhuo again was futile in their opinion.

"Since you all feel that you have achieved meritorious service by entering Luoyang, let's hold a celebration banquet here!"

"Cao will lead his army to pursue Dong Zhuo. I'm sorry that Cao can't accompany him!"

Cao Cao said as he mounted his horse and was about to leave.

When the princes saw this scene, they had a look of surprise on their faces.

They didn't expect that Cao Cao actually went after Dong Zhuo and did not choose to stay to celebrate.

Yuan Shao looked happy when he heard Cao Cao's words. , pursuing Dong Zhuo now is tantamount to seeking death.

Cao Cao is going to pursue Dong Zhuo now, which is a good thing for him.

Once Cao Cao's army fights with the Xiliang army, he believes that Cao Cao's army will inevitably suffer casualties.

"Brother Meng De is indeed a loyal minister in governing the world and a role model for us."

"Since Brother Meng De is going to pursue Dong Zhuo, Yuan will not stop him"

"Yuan prepared celebratory wine and waited for Brother Meng De's triumphant return."

Yuan Shao looked at Cao Cao and saluted with clasped fists.

"If Brother Meng De takes action personally, he will definitely be able to rescue the emperor."

"Dong Zhuo met Brother Meng De and died."[]

"Brother Meng De is a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, and we are convinced of him wholeheartedly."

Several princes looked at Cao Cao and kept praising him. When

Lin Yuan saw this scene while riding a war horse, there was a trace of ridicule on his lips.

Guarding an empty city, these princes' abilities were limited to this.

"Brother Meng De, I will accompany you to pursue Dong Zhuo!"

Sun Jian rode his horse to Cao Cao, smiled at Cao Cao, and turned to look at Yuan Shao and others with a hint of contempt in his eyes.

Cao Cao wanted to lead an army to pursue Dong Zhuo, and military counselor Lin Yuan did not stop him.

Sun Jian passed through Sishui Pass and Hulao Pass, has tasted the sweetness, and must follow Cao Cao to pursue Dong Zhuo.

Lin Yuan saw Sun Jian coming out, with a smile on his face. Sun

Jian, the fierce tiger, is well-deserved. No matter what the reason is, he is worthy of admiration for coming out to pursue Dong Zhuo now.

Yuan Shao Seeing Sun Jian come out, he was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile on his face:

"Since Brother Wen Tai was also going to pursue Dong Zhuo, Yuan naturally prepared fine wine and waited for the two of them to return in triumph."

"Farewell, everyone!"

Cao Cao and Sun Jian led the army to the direction where Dong Zhuo left, and Yuan Shao led other princes to prepare a celebration banquet.

"It was really unexpected for Cao that Brother Wentai could come to pursue Dong Zhuo with Cao."

Cao Cao rode his war horse and looked at Sun Jian beside him and said with a smile.

"My general and Brother Meng De captured Hulao Pass together. Brother Meng De wants to pursue Dong Zhuo, so naturally I will go"

"Celebrating victory with these princes, this general doesn’t even bother to do it!"

Sun Jian said with a hint of disdain on his face.

This time the princes gathered together, there were only a few people he could take notice of. 697 Cao Cao and Lin Yuan were the two people he truly admired.

"My general and Brother Meng De's army are chasing Dong Zhuo. The army has difficulty moving."

"This general leads an army to attack from the left. Brother Meng De, military advisor, take care!"

Sun Jian said and led the army to the left direction.

Cao Cao and Lin Yuan stopped their horses and looked at the direction Sun Jian left.

"Will it be okay if military advisor Sun Jian goes to pursue him?"

Cao Cao looked at Lin Yuan with a hint of worry on his face.

Although they were both princes, Sun Jian's character really made him admire him.

"Don't worry, my lord, Dong Zhuo has set up suspicious soldiers on the left."

"General Sun Jian's army will have nothing to lose and nothing to gain."

Lin Yuan looked at Cao Cao and smiled.

There is only one advantage. Lin Yuan will naturally leave it to Cao Cao.

From this moment on, the coalition of princes can be said to be completely broken up.

Dong Zhuo took the emperor hostage and moved the capital to Chang'an, and the world began to be in chaos.

From now on, all princes will be the enemy of each other. Enemies, Cao Cao must become opponents of these princes if he wants to achieve hegemony.

Similarly, if these princes also want to dominate the world, Cao Cao will also become their opponents.

"Chase Dong Zhuo!"

Cao Cao shouted, and the army continued to chase Dong Zhuo with Cao Cao.

Lin Yuan and Cao Cao rode at the front of the army. When they passed by a mansion, they heard the sound of broken earthen jars coming from inside.

"Stop!"

Cao Cao reined in his horse and stopped, and the army stopped moving forward.

"The residence of the military advisor should be the residence of a certain minister. These ministers have been coerced by Dong Zhuo to leave Luoyang City."

"Why were there still sounds in the mansion? Could it be that some ministers were hiding and did not leave with Dong Zhuo?"

Cao Cao dismounted and was about to enter the mansion. Lin Yuan dismounted and stopped Cao Cao.:

"It's important for my lord to pursue Dong Zhuo, so I'll go and inspect the mansion."

"If there are ministers of the DPRK and China in the mansion, I will arrange them properly."

Hearing Lin Yuan's words, Cao Cao nodded slightly and said:"The military advisor is right."

"Zhao Yun, you stay with five hundred elite soldiers to protect the military advisor!"

"Yes!"

Zhao Yun got off his horse, cupped his hands and said

"Lord, don’t forget what I said below, as long as you can get some money"

"Don't pursue in depth, Li Ru will definitely set an ambush on the road."

"Once the pursuit goes deep, the lord and the army will ambush you."

Lin Yuan looked at Cao Cao with a serious look on his face.

Since Dong Zhuo has withdrawn from Luoyang City, Lin Yuan believed that Li Ru would definitely set an ambush on the road.

If there are princes pursuing him, he will step into a trap. If there are no princes pursuing Dong Zhuo, Arrive in Chang'an safely.

As for Lin Yuan himself, Cao Cao and the army are enough to pursue Dong Zhuo. He can't help much if he rides a war horse, and he has to have soldiers protect him.

"Don't worry, military advisor!"

After Cao Cao finished speaking, he led the army and left Luoyang City.

"Zhao Yun and I went in to see which minister was hiding at home."

Lin Yuan handed the war horse to the soldiers on the side and headed to the mansion in front of him.

Zhao Yun handed the spear to the guard on the side, pulled out the sword from his waist and followed Lin Yuan.

What he has to do now is to ensure Lin Yuan's safety..
