Invincible Three Kingdoms System

Chapter 131 Dong Zhuo Burns the Golden Tower

Inside Sishui Pass, Li Jue, Guo Si, and Zhao Cen gathered together, their faces were heavy, and they could tell at a glance that something big was happening.

Li Jue glanced at the two of them, coughed lightly, and said to Zhao Cen: "General Zhao, the Grand Master has ordered me and General Guo to lead our troops back."

"What?" Zhao Cen was taken aback, "The two generals left with the army, how should I deal with the princes outside the pass?"

Li Jue smiled slightly and said, "General Zhao, please rest assured. The Grand Master said that you only need to stay here for ten days. After ten days, General Zhao can lead the army to Chang'an."

"This?" Zhao Cen was very reluctant, "General Li, can I show you the grand master's military order?"

Li Jue's complexion changed, and he said displeasedly: "What? General Zhao can't trust me, or the Grand Master?"

Guo Si also said at the side: "General Zhao, it is a great achievement to guard Sishuiguan. This general also wants to stay here and fight side by side with General Zhao. However, the order of the grand master must not be disobeyed. I hope the general will think about it."

Zhao Cen secretly rolled his eyes. Although Guo Si's words sound nice, he can still hear the threat in them.

Li Jue and Guo Si were Dong Zhuo's favorite generals, and with so many soldiers under his command, Zhao Cen had no power to resist, so he had to obediently agree.

Li Jue and Guo Si assembled their teams and were ready to go. Li Jue said: "General Zhao, I will leave the Sishui Pass to you. I hope that I will live up to the entrustment of the Grand Master."

"General Zhao, we will wait for you in Chang'an, and when the time comes, you will be crowned as a Marquis, don't forget to be here," Guo Si said.

Afterwards, without any nonsense, Li Jue and Guo Si led the army to leave Sishui Pass and retreat towards the west with a hasty march.

Zhao Cen came to Sishui Pass and watched the alliance army's battle in the distance, which stretched for tens of miles, and his heart trembled.

However, fortunately, except for the beginning, after Sun Jian attacked several times as the vanguard, there was no movement for several days.

It would be great if it could last for ten days.

However, the sky failed as people wished, and just when Zhao Cen was whimsical, there was movement in the alliance barracks in the distance.

In a short while, an army of tens of thousands was assembled and headed towards Sishui Pass.

Zhao Cen was terrified at the moment. Hu Zhen, who had a good relationship with him, was killed by the coalition army long ago. If he continued to resist, he probably would have to see his old friend.

Thinking of this, Zhao Cen made up his mind to surrender!

Here Yuan Shao approached Sishui Pass with nine other princes, and decided that he must conquer this pass today.

Just when Yuan Shao made proper arrangements and was preparing to attack the key, Sishui Pass was closed and opened, and Zhao Cen, headed by Zhao Cen, left the pass to surrender.

Yuan Shao was very happy, and immediately led his army into Sishui Pass, replacing Zhao Cen's soldiers with his own soldiers, and took control of the entire Sishui Pass.

At this moment, a messenger came to report: "Sign up to the lord, the Hulao pass has been breached, Fan Chou is dead, Zhang Ji surrenders!"

Yuan Shao laughed out loud when he heard it, took the battle report, and said with a smile: "Masters, today can be said to be a double happiness. Now that Luoyang is approaching, victory is in sight. It all depends on the strength of you!"

All the princes were very happy. Han Fu stepped forward and said, "The lord of the alliance is popular in the country. It is a great kindness to subdue the enemy's soldiers without fighting."

Cao Cao frowned, stepped forward and said, "At the beginning, if we take advantage of this victory, the army will invade Luoyang, and the bandits Dong will be captured!"

But Yuan Shao waved his hand and said: "Meng De, don't be in a hurry, these days all the princes are rushing to attack the pass, the soldiers are tired, they should take a rest."

"But Dong Zhuo is close at hand, if you don't pursue him, I'm afraid something will change!" Cao Cao said anxiously.

Yuan Shu beside him laughed, and said: "Don't worry about Meng De, now that the two barriers have been broken, Luoyang's gate has been opened, and Dong Zhuo has no danger to defend. When our soldiers rest well, we can take it in one fell swoop!"

"The words of the road are very good!"

All the princes agreed with Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, but no one stood with Cao Cao.

Yuan Shao glanced at Cao Cao impatiently, and said, "Meng De, why are you so impatient like Zhao Qian, how can you make a big deal?"

Upon hearing this, Cao Cao knew that there were other contents in the battle report, so he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with General Zhao?"

"General Zhao is the same as you. He led his troops to Luoyang. Alas, Dong Zhuo still has 20 troops!" Yuan Shao said with a sigh.

Cao Cao's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands and said, "Ziyuan is worthy of being a true hero. At the beginning, I also led the army to Luoyang to meet Ziyuan!"

Let's talk, regardless of Yuan Shao's dissuasion, lead our troops and horses, lead Xiahoudun, Xiahouyuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Li Dian, and Lejin, and rush from Sishuiguan to Luoyang.

Let’s say that Dong Zhuo returned to Luoyang, hurriedly summoned his group of ministers to the hall, and said: "I look at the sky, the Luoyang king's energy is exhausted, and the prosperous energy is in Chang'an. If you want to drive westward, you should prepare quickly and go on the road immediately!"

Situ Yang Biao stepped out of the class and said: "Chang'an has long been dilapidated, and now the ancestral temple is abandoned innocently, fearing that the world will be disturbed. It is easy to move the world, but difficult to secure it. Go to the Grand Master to see clearly."

Taiwei Huang Wan also came out and said: "Yang Situ's words are true. In the past, Wang Mang usurped rebellion, red eyebrows rebelled, Chang'an was burned, and the people were destitute. It is not appropriate to abandon east and west."

Dong Zhuo said impatiently: "Thieves from the east of the Guandong have risen and are approaching Luoyang. Chang'an has the danger of Weihan, which can be blocked; as for building a palace, it will not take more than a month, and it can be done in a few days! Don't talk about it!"

Immediately, he stopped listening to the advice of all the officials, ordered the soldiers to supervise, and went back to the mansion to rectify, and those who did not obey were beheaded.

Dong Zhuo followed Li Ruzhi's words and killed and deprived many wealthy households in Luoyang on the charge of "Yuan Shao's party", and took their funds.

After Li Jue and Guo Si returned to Luoyang, Dong Zhuo ordered them to drive away the people of Luoyang and go to Chang'an.

Li Jue and Guo Si indulged in soldiers, burned, killed and looted like robbers. For a while, the sound of people wailing shook the world.

However, despite the urging of three thousand soldiers, no one dared to resist, and even went a little late, so they killed them and threw their corpses by the roadside.

Dong Zhuo ordered people to enter the forbidden palace, robbed the emperor and concubines, excavated the imperial tomb, took its treasures, burned the palace, and left.

Before leaving, Dong Zhuo thought of Empress He's son, Liu Bian, King of Hongnong, and thought it was useless to keep him with him, so he ordered Li Ru to feed him poisoned wine.

Dong Zhuo's army was in front, Lu Bu led the army to protect the emperor and concubine, Li Jue and Guo Si were responsible for escorting the people and officials, and there were countless casualties along the way.

When Zhao Qian led his army to Luoyang, there was already a sea of ​​flames. Zhao Qian quickly ordered to put out the fire and rescue people.

Luoyang City was basically empty, but Zhao Qian still found a person, and after questioning, he learned that it was Sikong Xun Shuang's servant.

After questioning, he learned that Dong Zhuo had burned the palace, looted the emperor, officials and Luoyang people.

Zhao Qian was furious and ordered: "Zilong, Zihu, and Mr. Gongda lead troops to garrison Luoyang and put out the fire. All survivors must be treated!"

"Order!"

"Yide, Zhongting, follow me and continue to pursue the old thief Dong Zhuo!"

"Order!"
