Chapter 287

The messenger immediately replied: "They suspect that Luoyang is on fire! At this time, I'm afraid it's already a sea of fire."

"What?"

"This is impossible!"

The warlords present listened, and their faces changed drastically.

They couldn't care about anything else, and climbed onto the city wall on the west side of Hu Lao Pass, looking toward Luoyang.

As a result, they really saw red light filling the sky there, as if half the sky had been dyed red.

"Hiss! It can't be wrong, it's on fire!"

"No! It's not on fire, it's Dong Zhuo deliberately setting fire! He is going to destroy Luoyang city!"

"How dare Dong Zhuo? That is the imperial capital!"

"Traitor! Dong Zhuo, this traitor, is simply not a human!"

"It's over! The foundation of the Great Han is afraid it's going to be finished!"

"What a ruthless and poisonous scheme!!"

"....."

A group of warlords saw all this, gasped one after another, and then criticized angrily.

No matter how happy they were in their hearts, on the surface, they were all in the same boat.

Those who didn't know would think they were all defenders of the faith, loyal subjects of the Great Han.

However, the facts were not like that at all.

If they really cared about the life and death of the Great Han, they wouldn't have been unable to break Hu Lao Pass for so long.

Even Liu Bei just swept a cold glance at the warlords at this time, feeling disgusted by the hypocrisy of these people.

But why didn't he have a trace of excitement in his heart?

Admittedly, Luoyang being burned down was a huge blow to the prestige of the Great Han, indicating that the true chaotic world had completely arrived.

It could never be recovered.

And why wasn't this his opportunity?

"The ancestors of the Great Han are above, I, Liu Bei, swear here today, I will definitely learn from the Gao Zu, support the world, learn from the Shi Zong, sweep away the chaotic world again, set the world, and revive the Great Han three times. Please protect me, ancestors!"

Liu Bei thought so in his heart.

"We can't delay here any longer! Quick! Immediately pass my order, all coalition forces, set off immediately, advance to Luoyang, no mistakes allowed!"

At this time, Lord Yuan Shao reacted and ordered in a deep voice.

"Yes!"

The warlords listened, bowed to Lord Yuan Shao, and then left quickly.

Even if Lord Yuan Shao didn't order, they would do the same-.

For the sake of fame and profit, at this time they should naturally go to Luoyang as fast as possible to put out the fire, save Luoyang city, and rescue the Son of Heaven!

What? You say the Son of Heaven is probably not in Luoyang at this time, but was taken to Chang'an by Dong Zhuo?

What does that have to do with anything?

This doesn't affect their competition for merit and profit at all!

A few hours later, hundreds of thousands of coalition forces set off from Hu Lao Pass in a mighty manner and rushed to Luoyang.

At the same time, Su Xuan had already successfully arrived five miles south of Luoyang.

Looking at the Luoyang city shrouded in rolling heat waves, looking at the firelight rushing into the sky, Su Xuan was also full of emotion: "Who would have thought that the magnificent Luoyang city seen back then would be burned to the ground today?"

"It can only be said that Dong Zhuo is really a ruthless person!"

"What he can't get, he would rather burn than leave it to the warlords!"

This is Dong Zhuo.

Look at the things he did.

Deposing the Son of Heaven, poisoning Empress He and the King of Hongnong Liu Bian, causing chaos in the imperial palace, beheading Lord Yuan Kui's whole family, relocating the capital to Chang'an, plus the current burning of Luoyang city.

This is definitely a ruthless person who does big things.

Without considering the consequences at all.

Making Su Xuan admire Dong Zhuo's ruthlessness and decisiveness.

As if there was nothing he dared not do.

"Uh!"

At this time, Guo Jia on the side was puzzled; "Dong Zhuo burning Luoyang city, isn't it to further strike the Qi Luck of the Great Han and reduce the intensity of his own backlash?"

He had been using the Qi-Watching Technique along the way to check the Golden Dragon of Great Han Qi Luck moving westward.

Watching it being slimmed down all the way.

Especially after Luoyang was ignited, the Golden Dragon of Great Han Qi Luck slimmed down really fast!

No matter how awesome the weight loss product is, it can't compare to this.

Dong Zhuo is simply a master in the weight loss world.

"This is naturally the main reason!"

Su Xuan nodded affirmatively, and said: "But Dong Zhuo not wanting the warlords to get an intact Luoyang city is also a key factor;"

"He just wants the warlords to have their efforts come to nothing. Even if they break Hu Lao Pass and take Luoyang, what they get is a piece of white land!"

Guo Jia, Zhao Yun, and others nodded knowingly.

"Alright! No more talk! Quickly advance westward to pursue, and intercept some common people and Dong Zhuo's wealth and grain for me!"

"Whether there will be a harvest depends on this time!"

"You all read the intelligence from the dark guards first, don't be careless later! Dong Zhuo still has a big gift waiting for us!"

Saying this, Su Xuan handed the latest intelligence sent by the dark guards to Zhao Yun and others, letting them read it.

"Set off!"

Then, he led the army westward.

With the speed of Su Xuan's army, in less than half a day, Su Xuan had already caught up to the tail of the relocated common people's team.

"Not good! It's the coalition forces, they are chasing!"

The Xiliang army responsible for escorting and maintaining order saw it, and their faces changed drastically, directly abandoning this part of the common people and starting to flee.

As for resistance?

Are you kidding?

That's 10, 00-plus iron cavalry, with their few people, what can they use to resist?

Use their heads to resist?

And those common people saw this scene, and were a bit confused and at a loss.

At the same time, there was fear of Su Xuan's army.

After all, they didn't know what their final fate would be if they fell into the hands of Su Xuan's army.

"Guo Fengxiao, you take 1, 00 cavalry to stay, gather and appease these common people abandoned along the way, wait for Old Dian Wei to catch up, and help you together;"

"We continue to pursue here! Pay attention to your own safety!"

"Yes!"

Guo Jia immediately took the order: "My lord, then rest assured and leave it to me! My martial arts over the years have not been practiced in vain. I have at least the cultivation of the peak of the Dark-Qi realm, plus 1, 00 iron cavalry, ordinary people are not my match!"

Although he was a civil official and strategist, he also understood the method of military formation.

He could even form a military formation with these 1, 00 iron cavalry to face the enemy. Even if Dan-Qi or even Gang-Qi fierce generals came, without enough troops, they wouldn't want to defeat him.

Not to mention, there would be the 10, 00-plus army brought by Old Dian Wei later.

"Very good! Huang Hansheng! Separate 1, 00 Xuanjia troops for Guo Fengxiao, we continue to pursue!"

"Yes!"

Su Xuan ordered Huang Zhong, Huang Zhong acted according to the order, and immediately separated 1, 00 troops for Guo Jia.

Then, followed Su Xuan to start chasing and killing those fleeing Xiliang troops.

Running wildly for more than a hundred miles, killing more than 5, 00 Xiliang troops, and even forcing 10, 00-plus Xiliang troops to surrender.

In order to control these surrendered troops, Su Xuan had to separate thousands of troops again to escort these surrendered troops and gather the common people along the way.

In these hundred-plus miles, just the common people intercepted by them exceeded 300, 00.
