Chapter 424 Yuan Shao’s choice

On May 6, Yuan Shao personally led 130,000 alliance troops to the foot of Huangqiu Mountain, dividing the army into three groups, blocking all roads for Dong Zhuo's escape.

Liu Xin and Cao Cao came to Yuan Shao's military camp and reported to him the situation of Dong Zhuo's army on the mountain. Liu Xin saw that Yuan Shao had assigned tasks to all the princes, but he never mentioned himself.

"Alliance leader, I have ten armies to attack Huangqiu Mountain together. Each route has its own mission. I don't know what I need to do?" Liu Xin has done enough for this. He doesn't want to attack Huangqiu Mountain, but Yuan Shao never mentioned it.

He made Liu Xin a little angry.

"Yingcheng! This time, Yingcheng was indispensable for breaking through Hulao Pass, capturing Luoyang City, and besieging Dong Zhuo on Huangqiu Mountain. Now that the Xiandu Cavalry Company has been fighting for more than ten days, the rest can be left to other armies!

" Yuan Shao said.

Other princes also agreed. All the military exploits were Liu Xin's. They all formed an alliance to defeat Dong Zhuo and could not watch him perform alone.

Listening to the words of the princes, Liu Xin was extremely angry. He had seen everyone including Yuan Shao slowly take off their hypocritical masks, and now he was about to save the emperor, but he had to leave himself alone.

"Okay, since the alliance leader feels that I am no longer needed here, I will lead the Xiandu cavalry back to Luoyang first. The fire in Luoyang City is still not extinguished, and now we can save some areas by putting out the fire.

Everyone, I'll take my leave now!" Liu Xin saw that all the princes were disloyal, and he knew that the crusade against Dong Zhuo should be over.

He never thought about getting a reward from the imperial court, and he only joined the alliance to make a name for himself, and at the same time, let Henan Yin Shao save some blood.

Now that Dong Zhuo has moved all the aristocratic families in Luoyang City to Chang'an, Luoyang City is now of little significance to the princes. Everyone is thinking about earning some credit and fame in the end, so that they can get an extra bite of soup after Yuan Shao rescues Liu Xie.

Liu Xin remained silent as he rode eastward with the dangerous cavalry, and all the soldiers were very angry when they saw this.

Six thousand of the Xiandu cavalry left Hulao Pass. After many life-and-death battles, there were now less than five thousand left. As a result, when it came time to finally pick the fruit, they had no share.

"Don't be unhappy, everyone. We defeated the Xiliang cavalry, defeated Lu Bu, and besieged Dong Zhuo in Huangqiu Mountain so that he could not escape. These are enough.

After Yuan Shao kills Dong Zhuo and welcomes the emperor back to Luoyang, what kind of reward can he give us at that time? At most, it will be a false position!

Now that we have left, we have completed our mission and have not offended other princes, which is already very good.

All the grain from Henan was carried away by Dong Zhuo. The people left behind had no food to eat, and the city of Luoyang had become a burden.

Let's gather all the soldiers on the road! Otherwise they will become bandits in the future and make life more difficult for the people here.

It originally only took one day to reach Gucheng, but it took Liu Xin five days. He dispersed all Dong Zhuo's troops along the way, and escorted all the captives eastward. Some common people followed Liu Xin when they saw him.

.

Liu Xin has gained enough fame in Henan Yin in the past few months, and he knows that he has posed a problem for Yuan Shao. If Yuan Shao takes the emperor back to Luoyang now, Luoyang will be burned to the state it is. How much time and money will it take to repair it?

OK.

Moreover, Yuan Shao must continue to fight Dong Zhuo, so Henan Yin is now a big burden. Liu Xin wants to see how Yuan Shao makes his choice.

Besides, Liu Xin's biggest gain from this crusade against Dong Zhuo must be the captured prisoners. He captured more than 60,000 prisoners of war from Yingyang City and Hulao Pass, and Zhou Tai captured more than 30,000 prisoners in the Yin area of ​​​​Henan. Among them,

Including more than a thousand Bingzhou wolf cavalry and 20,000 Bingzhou elites, if Liu Xin can be recruited and surrendered, Liu Xin's military strength will be greatly improved this time.

Liu Xin saw that Gucheng was under the control of Zhang Yang's army. It was obvious that Yuan Shao did not want to grow bigger by himself. Liu Xin took more than 2,000 prisoners and did not stay in Gucheng for more. He sent the cavalry out to look for food and grass. It was already very difficult now.

It was later collected that many people had fled. He must return to the main force as soon as possible. There were only 80 tons of food left in his system space. Save what you can!

When he arrived outside Luoyang City, Liu Xin saw numerous large camps stationed in the west of the city. The coalition forces sent a large number of troops into Luoyang City to put out the fire. Sometimes they were lucky enough to plunder some food or property, so the coalition forces put out the fire in Luoyang City.

The enthusiasm was very high, and Luoyang City did not burn for three consecutive months like history.

Finding Zhou Tai's military camp outside Luoyang City, Liu Xin entered and found that there were only 3,000 men and horses taking care of more than 10,000 prisoners. There was a lot of food and grass in the camp, and some could be seen showing signs of being burned by fire. These were large households in the city.

The grain and grass stored in their own homes were eventually forcibly relocated by Dong Zhuo, and the grain and grass became the property of the Allied Army.

Leaving all the prisoners in the barracks, Liu Xin let the Xiandu cavalry rest in the barracks. At the same time, he persuaded all the prisoners to surrender and gave them ideological work. If these prisoners sincerely surrendered to Liu Xin, Liu Xin could send them to Shu County.

In the evening, Zhou Tai came back and told Liu Xin that 30% of the entire area of ​​Luoyang City had been submerged in fire, and it was very difficult to save it. The remaining areas with smaller fires had been extinguished. They had gained a lot in Luoyang City in the past few days, including light.

The value of gold, silver and jewelry exceeds hundreds of millions of dollars. The aristocratic families in Luoyang City are very wealthy. There is no one in the city now. They can find something if they search carefully in the aristocratic family compound.

Especially with more than 300,000 grains, it is hard to imagine that the Luoyang City family could still have so much grain storage at this time. If Liu Xin hadn't asked Zhou Tai to quickly enter Luoyang City to put out the fire, all of this grain would have been burned.

"There must be more food in Luoyang City. You Ping and you will lead your troops tomorrow to continue exploring. You must take away everything you can. Pay special attention to the various places where books are stored in Luoyang City. Those books are also treasures."

Liu Xin said.

All the princes have sent people to search Luoyang City, but no one is like Liu Xin, who carried out a blanket search of 50,000 people. Without the pressure of food, Liu Xin asked people to send all the food, property, and books to Yingyang City.

Go and tell Cheng Yu who is in Yingyang City to help the people and persuade the prisoners to surrender. All the three hundred thousand stones of food and grass must be used here, and nothing should be given to other princes.

Liu Xin searched Luoyang City for several days. He took people into the palace to experience the grandeur of the Han Dynasty. Many buildings in the palace burned slowly because they were made of wood, and the fires spread from the outer city, so the fire here was

Not big.
