The princes from all walks of life came to Luoyang with anger, but were shocked by the sight before them.

Before arriving in Luoyang just now, I saw thick smoke billowing in the direction of Luoyang from a distance.

Even though it's daytime, you can still feel the red light of the fire.

When Liu Feng saw it from a distance, he knew that Dong Zhuo must have set fire to the city.

Originally, Liu Feng knew that Dong Zhuo set fire to the city of Luoyang when he moved the capital to Chang'an, but he did not know what it was like.

He always thought that Dong Zhuo just burned the palace, so he didn't know why he was reviled by everyone in the world, and why he was always burdened with such a heavy crime for future generations.

After destroying Qin, didn't Xiang Yu also burn down Epang Palace?

But now, he finally saw why Dong Zhuo had been reviled for thousands of years.

Instead of just burning the palace, he burned down the ancient city of Luoyang that had been built for hundreds of years!

The entire city of Luoyang and all the palaces, temples, treasury and other large buildings within a radius of 200 miles were burned down, leaving no intact house.

The once prosperous capital city was reduced to ashes in the blazing fire.

Looking around, there was black smoke everywhere, filling most of the sky.

The princes from all walks of life looked at the scene in front of them, and all of them made those who were nostalgic feel sad.

Under Dong Zhuo's wanton destruction, the entire city of Luoyang became devastated, with ruins and broken walls everywhere you could see.

And among the constantly jumping firelight, countless poor people can be vaguely seen, maintaining their last postures in life, but they will never wake up again.

Dong Zhuo moved the capital to Chang'an and took away a large number of people from Luoyang. However, as the capital, Luoyang has a population of nearly one million and is the most populous city in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Naturally, it is impossible for everyone to follow Dong Zhuo and move to Chang'an.

Moreover, Dong Zhuo forced the people to go to Chang'an with him in order to build a capital palace for him in Chang'an. Naturally, only young men and some nobles from Luoyang families came with him.

As for women, young and old, no one cares about their life or death at all.

Those who could escape did so, and those who could not escape would naturally have to be burned alive in Luoyang City.

People's hearts are made of flesh. If before coming to Luoyang, some princes were very dissatisfied with Yuan Shao for asking Liu Feng to march to Luoyang as soon as he heard that his uncle was killed, then no one would think so now.

Seeing Luoyang, which was like a hell on earth, everyone was holding fire in their hearts and wanted to cut Dong Zhuo into pieces.

At this time, another scout came to report that Dong Zhuo's army had been found hundreds of miles west of Luoyang, and was heading towards Chang'an with a large number of civilians and officials.

Hearing the words of the messenger, Cao Cao clenched his fists and said to Liu Feng:"Alliance leader, Cao Cao thinks that the traitor Dong must want to move the capital to Chang'an.

We should fight while he is still on the road, with no danger to defend and with a large number of people and inconvenience. He quickly pursued and killed the Dong thief on the road.

If he waits until he reaches Chang'an, it will be difficult to attack him."

As soon as Cao Cao finished speaking, Yuan Shao spoke:"King side by side, my uncle was killed by the Dong thief. Shao wanted to kill the Dong thief and cut him into thousands of pieces.

However, his uncle's body was still hanging on the city wall before his bones were cold, and he could not live in peace even after he died. Shao had no choice but to ask King Bingjian and Meng De to stop the Dong thief first. Shao still needed to kill the Dong thief. The uncle's body was removed and brought back to Runan, where he was laid to rest.

As for the Dong thief, Shao was unable to pursue him for the time being, so he had to get rid of his sidekick Wang and help Shao kill the Dong thief in order to avenge Shao's uncle's death."

Yuan Shao said. After speaking, Yuan Shu also said that he and Yuan Shao would transport Yuan Wei's body back to Runan and could not continue to march to pursue the Dong thief.

As soon as Yuan Shu finished speaking, a scout ran into the Chinese army's tent and reported to Gongsun Zan:"Report to General Gongsun that Liu He, the son of Liu Yu, the former Youzhou Shepherd, is leading Liu Yu's old troops to attack Youbeiping.

Now Baima Yicong I am struggling to support myself, so I sent my subordinates to ask for help from my lord."

When Gongsun Zan heard that his hometown was being attacked, he immediately became anxious.

He hurriedly said:"King Bingjian, You Beiping is Zan's home base. Once You Beiping is lost, Zan will have nowhere to go, so Zan decided to return to You Beiping first." Before

Liu Feng spoke, Sun Jian, who had been silent, spoke. :"King side by side, Dong Zhuo has fled to Luoyang. Although he has no brains, his son-in-law, Li Ru, is very cunning.

With Li Ru's plan, it is impossible to be unprepared during the retreat, so now we are chasing the Dong thief It must be very dangerous.

Moreover, now that there is a fire in Luoyang, hundreds of years of relics are about to be burned.

Therefore, I believe that we should put out the fire first and try to save the existing items in Luoyang that have not been burned. Besides, there may be surviving people indoors, who are Waiting for rescue."

In just a short moment, four different views appeared.

In this regard, Liu Feng first said to Yuan Shao:"Brother Ben Chu and Brother Qiu are both filial sons. Now that Yuan Situ has gone, it is natural to take him back to Runan to bury him in peace. You should go back quickly."

Then Liu Feng looked at it again. Xiang Gongsun Zan said:"Brother Bogui, since Liu He has rebelled, you should rush back to Youbeiping to suppress it.

After all, if I want to return to Liaodong, I need to pass through Youbeiping."

Gongsun Zan said:"In this case, I will tell you later He left directly, but Xuande and the other three are very skilled in martial arts, so let them stay in Luoyang to help King Bingjian."

Liu Feng nodded, and then said to Sun Jian and Cao Cao:"As for whether to chase or put out the fire, I think both are good. They are important and do not conflict with each other.

Brother Wentai and Grand Administrator Kong Rong, please lead a few more princes to stay in Luoyang to put out the fire. It would be even better if you can rescue the people.

As for Brother Mengde, I also ask you to be the vanguard. We will pursue Dong Zhuo first, and I will lead the rest of the princes as the central army, and we will arrive later."

After Liu Feng finished speaking, he remembered that Cao Cao went to pursue Dong Zhuo in history, but was ambushed by Xu Rong and almost died.

Now that Xu Rong was serving under his command, he didn't know whether Cao Cao would fall into an ambush again, so he said to Cao Cao:"Brother Meng De, you must be careful, Li Ru is very likely to send an ambush."

​​Cao Cao was very satisfied with Liu Feng's decision. , then nodded and said:"Don't worry, King Xiang side by side, we will definitely fulfill our mission."

After Liu Feng made arrangements, he said to Tao Qian:"Prince Tao, Brother Meng De is the vanguard to pursue Dong Zhuo, and the task of transporting grain to the rear will be left to me. You. I think Governor Tao already knows the importance of food and grass, so I won’t say more."

After arranging the division of labor among various princes, Cao Cao led his troops in a hurry towards Chang'an.

However, Cao Cao did not expect that Li Ru actually left an ambush halfway.

In a canyon, Li Jue led his army to attack and took advantage of the terrain to ambush Cao Cao. Cao Cao suffered heavy losses. Fortunately, Cao Hong arrived in time and saved Cao Cao's life.
