Chapter 84 Burning Luoyang
Lu Bu didn't even know that the person who jumped over the river was Cao Cao. For him, the biggest regret was the war horse that Cao Cao sat down. After lingering by the river for a while, Lu Bu took Dian Wei back to the front battlefield. The people Cao Cao brought over there were already defeated by Gao Shun and Xu Rong. I really don't understand why these people were chasing him?
Just sending death?
It feels like he is here to die, but Lu Bu always feels that it is not that simple. These coalition forces are not good at fighting, but they are proficient in conspiracies and tricks. Who knows that this time, the real purpose of shooting such a man to die is?
After reorganizing their respective troops, Lu Bu and Xu Rong entered Luoyang City one after another, and then burned Luoyang. Looking at this city that had not been there for too long, the once prosperous streets and alleys are now empty, and there is a faint sense of bleakness. Lu Bu did not feel much, but felt that it was a pity that the former imperial capital had burned like this.
"June, how about you and I ignite from the north and south?" Xu Rong was naturally a little moved. As for whether he was a little sorry for this capital like Lu Bu, it was unknown, but he just clasped his fists with Lu Bu.
"Okay, I'll go to Beigong, you go to Nangong." Lu Bu nodded. There is no need to be humble in setting fires.
The Luoyang Imperial Palace is divided into two palaces, the Nangong is the place where the emperor and his ministers discuss matters, and the Beigong is the place where the concubines in the harem live. He had no chance to come before, but this time Luoyang was empty. Lu Bu took the opportunity to see what the Beigong looked like?
However, after entering the Beigong, Lu Bu was somewhat disappointed. The place where the emperor lived seemed to be not very different from other places. In terms of magnificence and style, it was even worse than that of Nangong.
Lu Bu asked someone to go to various palaces to attract fire, and the huge palace was burned to death. If the world was peaceful in the future, I didn’t know how much money or how much manpower and material resources were spent.
As a wounded man, after Lu Bu gave the order, he took Dian Wei around. Gao Shun was responsible for the specific implementation. This setting fire is also a science, and he must stand at the right direction of the wind, otherwise he might burn himself. As for the fire, there is no problem. The palaces here are mostly wooden structures, which are easy to ignite, and it is not necessary to burn it clean. That's all, it's not a good thing after all, and there is no need to keep making progress.
"What does it taste?" Outside Jianzhang Hall, Dian Wei suddenly pinched his nose and frowned.
Lu Bu also smelled the smell of rotten corpses. He rode his horse back and forth for two steps, pointed to a well and said, "Salvage here."
Jianzhang Hall is not big, and the only place where the body can be hidden is this well.
My personal guard came forward to deal with it. After a while, a completely decayed female corpse was salvaged. It was a palace maid in costume.
"Lord." A personal guard took out a jade seal from the package in the arms of the palace maid. He found nothing else except that, so he stepped forward and handed the jade seal to Lu Bu.
"This jade looks really good, and I don't know how valuable it is?" Dian Wei glanced at the jade seal. Even an outsider could feel that the jade was valuable. It was shining and crystal clear without any trace of variegated color. Unfortunately, a corner was missing. Although it was made up with gold nuggets, it was still a little bit bad.
Lu Bu was naturally not as unaware as Dian Wei. The moment he saw the jade seal, he felt familiar. He took it and looked at it carefully for a while, then turned it over and took it to see that the eight big words "Tianjishou Yongchang" on it made Lu Bu's heart beat a little more violently.
Dong Zhuo has been looking for this thing before. If he presented it, it would be another contribution. However, he had just been promoted to General Zhendong. Although it would be beneficial to offer it at this time, it would definitely not be great. It would be better to wait for some time before offering the jade seal, and perhaps he could go further!
"Priceful!" Lu Bu took off his battle robe, carefully wrapped the jade seal, and looked at everyone and said, "No one should spread this matter, otherwise don't blame someone for being merciless!"
"Here!" All the guards of Lu Bu were present, so they agreed, and continued to wander around the palace with Lu Bu until Gao Shun was ready and sent someone to inform him. Only after Lu Bu took Dian Wei and his guards away from the Beigong.
A cluster of flames rushed up and spread rapidly with the wind. In just a moment, it turned into a huge fire, covering a large number of buildings. The red rabbit sat down and dived the horse's hooves uneasily. Even from a distance, he could feel the heat waves coming.
On the other side, a big fire was also lit in the direction of Beigong. This season is mostly east wind. At this moment, the fire took advantage of the wind. Soon, half of Luoyang fell into the sea of fire.
Lu Bu and Xu Rong each led their troops out of the city, looking at the turbulent flames of Luoyang City, a place that brought them too many different memories, was left with only a piece of ruins after today.
"Let's go~"
The setting sun sets west, and the sky is full of rays and the fire in Luoyang City seems to be printed together. Lu Bu will ride his horse to the mountain in the west and forget this scene. Under the sunset, the Western Liang army slowly passes by. Lu Bu stands on the mountain with setting sun behind the sunset. In front of him is the fire in Luoyang, as if the whole world is burning...
