In the end, with the help of the major princes, Dong Zhuo's soldiers and horses were finally repulsed.

However, in this battle, the combined forces of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu suffered heavy casualties.

Originally, there were more than 50,000 people in the two-man alliance, but after yesterday's battle, there were only more than 30,000 left.

After this battle, Yuan Shao had already had the idea of retiring.

It's hard to say whether Dong Zhuo can be destroyed, but if he continues to fight, he will be destroyed first.

Of the princes of the Eighteen Roads, only Lu Bufang was the least injured, and there were almost no casualties.

But in the face of Lu Bujun's performance, no one can say anything.

Because yesterday, Lu Bu's front army dragged Li Dao to a full 20,000 troops with 5,000 men, and killed thousands of Li Dao's soldiers and horses, this record is enough to be proud.

……

Dong Zhuo even had the idea of retreating.

Because in Luoyang City, hundreds of officials are ready to move, and the big families are already preparing how to cooperate with the alliance of princes outside.

There are really many wealthy families in Luoyang City, and these families have military power.

These people are quietly uniting, preparing to cut off Dong Zhuo's power in Luoyang City.

After getting the news, Dong Zhuo was shocked and angry.

Now there are coalition forces outside and wealthy families inside, and Dong Zhuo's forces are in danger.

At this time, Li Ru persuaded: "Father-in-law, now there is a rebellion and siege outside, and there are wealthy families making trouble inside. The son-in-law thought that it was better to lead the soldiers and horses back to Luoyang and move the capital to Chang'an in response to the nursery rhyme. ”

"Recently, there is a nursery rhyme on the market: a sweat in the west, a sweat in the east. When the deer enters Chang'an, there is no difficulty. A Khan in the west, Ying Gaozu was in Chang'an, the western capital, and passed on the 12 emperors; A Khan in the east, Ying Guangwu was born in the eastern capital of Luoyang, and also passed on the 12 emperors. Now that the prime minister has moved back to Chang'an, he can be safe! ”

Dong Zhuo listened to it and thought so, and then led the army back to Luoyang, leaving only a small force of troops and horses to defend Surabaya City and Tiger Pass.

If Yuan Shao and other 18th Route Coalition troops continue to attack the city fiercely at this time, I believe that they will be able to break through the Tiger Prison Pass in a few days.

It's a pity that Yuan Shao gave up the siege because of the heavy casualties of himself and the Yuan Shu coalition army, and only surrounded these two passes, in fact, he had already begun to retreat.

……

After returning to Luoyang, Dong Zhuo said to the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs in the court: "Now my Han Dynasty has been in Luoyang, the eastern capital, for more than 200 years, and the dragon qi is declining. After more than 200 years of cultivation, the western capital of Chang'an has a strong dragon spirit, so it is imperative to move the capital to Chang'an! ”

Situ Yang Biao persuaded: "Now Chang'an has been defeated very miserably, and if you move the capital immediately, it will make the people fall into fire and water, and you can't move lightly!" I hope the prime minister will think twice! ”

Dong Zhuo said angrily: "Do you dare to block the country's plans? ”

Taiwei Huang Wan also said: "What Yang Situ said is very reasonable, when Wang Mang usurped and rebelled in the past, the Red Mei Army rebelled, burned Chang'an, and burned Chang'an to a ruin. ”

"At that time, only one or two people in a hundred people could survive. Now that the capital is going to be moved, it's really not a blessing for the people! I hope the prime minister will think twice! ”

Then many civil and military officials came to persuade Dong Zhuo to make fun of the idea of moving the capital.

However, Dong Zhuo's perspective on the problem is fundamentally different from theirs.

These ministers are thinking about the life and death of the common people, while Dong Zhuo is thinking about the terrain of Chang'an.

Chang'an is in danger of being in danger, and after moving the capital to Chang'an, the coalition forces have no way to deal with him.

Therefore, Dong Zhuo was angry and demoted Yang Biao, Huang Wan, Xun Shuang and others to commoners.

At this point, the matter of moving the capital has been decided.

Then, Li Ru said to Dong Zhuo: "Father-in-law, when the Eighteenth Route rebelled against Luoyang, the rich people in Luoyang City were ready to move. Now we are ready to move the capital, but the military rations are insufficient. With the son-in-law, it is better to loot those rich people, and you will get amazing wealth! ”

Li Ru's suggestion, Dong Zhuo thought so, and ordered his 5,000 soldiers to go and arrest the rich in Luoyang.

There are thousands of wealthy families in a huge Luoyang City, and they have all suffered at this moment because of Dong Zhuo's words.

Five thousand iron horsemen arrested all the rich households, regarded them as anti-ministers and rebels against the party, pulled down Luoyang outside the city and shot them, and beheaded them.

For a while, the head rolled to the ground.

And countless riches were scavenged from the homes of these rich families, which were enough to load thousands of carts and horses.

Seeing these riches, Dong Zhuo couldn't help but be overjoyed.

With these riches, it is enough to support the military needs of the army for twenty years!

It seems that the big families in Luoyang City are really rich!

Li Dao and Guo Yan expelled millions of people in Luoyang City from their homes and lined up in a queue.

In the midst of each of the people, there was an army, dragging each other down.

Those young and strong are enough, and they can still keep up with the rhythm of the army.

Those women, children, old and young, could not keep up with the march of the army, and as soon as they were transferred from the ranks, they were beheaded and beheaded.

Dong Zhuo's army left Luoyang, and along the way, there were countless casualties.

After leaving Luoyang City, in order to prevent the princes of the Eighteenth Route from catching up, Dong Zhuo ordered his subordinates to set fire to the people's houses and pavilions.

For a time, thick smoke billowed from Luoyang City, and many places were turned into ruins.

……

At this time, on the side of the princes of the Eighteenth Road, because of the confrontation between the two sides, they could not attack for a long time, and Yuan Shao had already had the idea of retreating.

However, at this moment, everyone saw that the smoke was suddenly billowing in Chang'an City, and the flames were everywhere.

Everyone was shocked, not knowing what was going on in Chang'an City.

And Dong Zhuo's subordinate Zhao Cen was ordered by Dong Zhuo to guard the Bishui Pass and not let anyone in.

As a result, Dong Zhuo, the old thing, ran away with gold and silver treasures, leaving him to fight with the coalition forces at Bishui Pass.

This old thing, it's not a thing anymore!

Zhao Cen was furious, so he sacrificed Bishui Pass and surrendered to the coalition army.

Then the coalition army drove straight in, entered the Tiger Prison Pass, and went straight to Chang'an.

After entering Chang'an, I only saw thick smoke billowing out, and there were no people in sight from a distance of one or two hundred miles.

The coalition forces entered Chang'an City and arranged for men to extinguish the fire.

Then he found that the entire Chang'an City was almost empty, and it seemed that all the people had been taken away by Dong Zhuo.

After extinguishing the fire, almost all the princes entered the palace with their troops.

Cao Cao couldn't help but ask Yuan Shao: "Alliance leader, now that Dong Zhuo's thieves are fleeing westward, we are now taking advantage of the situation to pursue and defeat the enemy in one fell swoop!" Why did the alliance leader stand still now? ”

Yuan Shao said: "Now we are very tired, besides, the art of war is cloudy, and the poor don't chase it!" ”

Cao Cao said angrily: "Now Dong Zhuo is burning the palace and holding the Son of Heaven hostage, and the four seas are shaken. People and gods are angry, heaven and earth are intolerable, this is even God wants to let him perish! Now chase and kill, a battle can be decided! Why don't you catch up? ”

Then the other princes said, "Do not act rashly."

Cao Cao was furious, looked at Lu Bu and asked, "Fengxian, what do you say?" ”

Now, the only person Cao Cao values is Lu Bu.

Lu Bu said: "My military horse is tired, I am ready to rest for a day, and I will chase it tomorrow!" ”

Cao Cao said angrily: "Hmph! The shaft is not enough and conspiracy! ”

After speaking, Cao Cao took his more than 10,000 soldiers and horses and chased them from behind.
