Seeing that the battle ahead was going well, Dong's defeated soldiers were about to collapse. Wen Chou was about to win. Xu Rong, who was beside Wen Chou, stepped out and said: "Although Dong's soldiers were defeated, Dong Zhuo's left and right were elite. When he was at a loss, he would definitely fight to the death. The Dong soldiers in front of him were so easily disastrous that it was suspicious."

Wen Chou said, "Oh? What are the general's opinions?"

"Dong Zhuo is cunning and may not be defeated in this stock."

"Where can it be if you don't lose this stock?"

"The roads around Luoyang are open, maybe he will escape from another place to Mianchi and Xin'an."

"So, what are the general's countermeasures?"

"Rong is willing to raise troops from our headquarters and hurry to Mianchi, Xin'an and search for Dong Zhuo."

Wen Chou looked at the war ahead and felt that the defeated army was in chaos too quickly. Maybe Dong Zhuo was not included in it. So he responded to Xu Rongzhi's request and said, "If Dong Zhuo is obtained, I will submit a report to the court and invite five thousand marquises for the general!"

Xu Rong received the order, turned back to the headquarters, and rushed to Mianchi with three thousand soldiers and headed towards Xin'an. After surrendering Wen Chou, he gathered the headquarters and obtained two thousand people. Wen Chou fulfilled his promise and added another thousand soldiers to him. Therefore, he now has a total of three thousand troops.

With the incident of cheating and killing the Taigu guards before, Xu Rong asked for an order to chase Dong Zhuo, but no one among the people in Wen Chou expressed doubts.

Mianchi, Xin'an is in the west and northwest of Luoyang. It is the Taoist place from Luoyang to Chang'an. Dong Zhuo has troops stationed in both places. Xu Rong asked to lead his troops to Mianchi. Xin'an intercept Dong Zhuo. If Dong Zhuo is not in the defeated army in front and really escaped first, then it is the best. However, if Dong Zhuo is in the defeated army in front, it is okay. Anyway, after destroying Dong Zhuo, Wen Chou and Sun Jian will go west to Chang'an sooner or later. This Mianchi, Xin'an is a must-see place.

Sun Jian led his troops to catch up from behind, worked with Wen Chou, and attacked the defeated soldiers of the Dong army, killing or capturing them. They were soon wiped out. The generals came to report the results of the battle, and each had their own achievements, but none of them won Dong Zhuo in the end.

Wen Chou said in his heart: "Xu Rong said it well, Dong Zhuoguo is cunning. It seems that he escaped first!"

Not only were there no Dong Zhuo, but none of the people who were listed in Dong Jun, such as Niu Fu, Wang Xi, Lu Bu, etc., who were among the top names, were discovered. These people should have either been on other battlefields or followed Dong Zhuo and escaped with Dong Zhuo first.

By the time the defeated army was eliminated, the sound of shouting and killing on the battlefields far and near were smaller, while others were still very loud. Wen Chou sent people to open the way, and rushed to the front to see Sun Jian, and said to Sun Jian: "Although Dong Zhuo has not been captured, Dong Zhuo's army has been defeated. Wentai, you and I can divide the troops and send troops to Mianchi and Xin'an to pursue Dong Zhuo. We will go all the way to help the battlefield over there."

Sun Jian believed it, so the two of them ordered their cavalry and ordered them to go to Mianchi and Xin'an, searching along the way to find Dong Zhuo's whereabouts. Then, the two of them led their troops to help those battlefields that were still fighting.

After fighting all night, the next morning, the battlefields were all flat.

Although Dong Zhuo divided his troops in various places, there were not many soldiers left in Luoyang, but there were also 20,000 to 30,000. Most of the generals who led the troops were powerful generals like Niu Fu, Li Jue, and Guo Si. Therefore, although Wen Chou and Sun Jian were a great victory in this battle, they were unable to wipe out all the Dong troops. The results of the battle were calculated. The two armies joined together and killed about 10,000 Dong troops. Dong troops were also counted here.

To be honest, Wen Chou and Sun Jian rushed to Luoyang this time. They were originally prepared for a hard battle, but neither of them expected that victory would come so quickly and so easy.

Facing the rising red sun, Wen Chou and Sun Jian met again. The two met, looked at each other and smiled at each other.

However, although this battle was won, the entire battle against Dong was not over yet.

Wen Chou said: "Dong Zhuo may have fled far away and it is difficult to capture him for the time being. Wentai, your troops marched for a day and a night. Before we could rest, we fought fiercely with Dong Bing for a day and a night. The soldiers were tired and should have some rest. You and I might as well order the three armies to find a place to station, and you and I will enter Luoyang first, how about it?"

Sun Jian nodded and said, "I heard that when Dong Zhuo was in Luo, he excavated the tombs of the emperors and burned the palaces of the imperial city. All kinds of violations are difficult to describe. Yesterday, the battle last night further aggravated the destruction of the tombs of the emperors. You and I can take advantage of the opportunity of resting the three armies and entering the city first, eliminate the ancestral temples and pacify the tombs of the sects, and then wait for Dong Zhuo to go west to attack Hangu, seek Chang'an, and welcome the emperor back."

Hangu Pass is also one of the eight passes around Luoyang. If you want to seize Chang'an, this level must be captured first. If Dong Zhuo died in this battle, Wen Chou and Sun Jiangu could pluck up the remaining courage, and then attack Hangu. However, Dong Zhuo's whereabouts are unknown, and Wen Chou and Sun Jian's troops have been exhausted until now, but they obviously cannot continue to fight and need to rest.

Wen Chou said, "You are so kind. You and I will go into the city now!"

Wen Chou and Sun Jian ordered the three armies to station and rest, and each brought a thousand guards to enter Luoyang City.

When I arrived in the city, I saw broken walls and tiles everywhere. Looking around, I saw a huge temple in Luoyang, but now I can’t see any people. The rabbit and fox leaped in the broken houses everywhere. The wind blew, making people feel desolate.

Going further forward, when you arrive at the imperial city, the palace gates of the north and south palaces are incomplete. When you enter the palace, just like in the outside of the palace, you can see broken walls and no one can see. In the damaged palace walls and palace halls, you can see the palace maids and ministers who fell to the ground, and the deaths are very miserable. Some are rotten to the point of becoming human. From time to time, wild dogs and other people bark at Wen Chou, Sun Jian and others next to these dead bodies.

Sun Jian, Wen Chou couldn't bear to see more, so he ordered some soldiers to stay behind to clean up the tragic situation in the palace. The two of them broke out from the palace with their troops and went to the ancestral temple.

The ancestral temple and the country are outside Zhengyang Gate in the south of the city. Wen Chou and Sun Jian entered the city from the west, and the imperial palaces in the north and south of the city are in the north of Luoyang City. At this time, they came out of the palace and walked not far, and they went to Tongtu Street, which ran across the east and west of Luoyang.

This street is named after the copper camel because there is a nine-foot-high copper camel on both sides of the street. Now, these two copper camels do not know where to go, so there is no need to ask. It is obviously moved away by Dong Zhuo's troops, either melted into weapons, or melted into coins.

After passing Tongtuo Street, the east side of the road was followed by the hundreds of county residences, the Sangong Mansion and other official temples. In the past, the cars in front of these official temples were like flowing water and horses, but now there are only broken bricks and tiles, so where is there any popularity?

The two of them started from the west of the city to the north and south palaces, and then to Zhengyang Gate, which was all the way out. All they could see was the countless dead bodies hidden among the broken tiles or simply thrown on the road. (To be continued.)
