On the vast battlefield, the blood under the sunlight is particularly dazzling. Broken arms and limbs, bloody heads, still bleeding corpses, and mourning horses record the brutal fighting that just happened here.
Although this fight was brutal, it actually did not last long. The Kwantung Allied Forces had high morale due to the victory of the generals, while Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Army was stronger because it had been honing its combat effectiveness at the border. Each side had its own unique characteristics.
Advantage.
After finding that they could not overwhelm the other side, Dong Zhuo and the Kwantung Allied Forces tacitly agreed to a temporary truce. After all, continuing to fight like this would only weaken the strength of both sides and would not have any decisive effect on the outcome of the battle.
However, although the fighting lasted only a short time, the generals on both sides suffered a lot of losses. Most of them were casualties caused by the melee between Xing Tian and Wu Wenhua, and a small number of them died in the fighting just now.
among.
Among them, on the side of the Kwantung Allied Forces, Zhao Yun beheaded Hua Xiong, Nangong Shi beheaded Wang Pingfan, Guan Yu beheaded Xue Renyue, Gao Yanping beheaded Liang Hulang, Fan Kuai beheaded Li Benshen, and Xing Tian captured alive Deng Qiang, an enemy of ten thousand people.
As for Dong Zhuo's army, Xue Rengao killed Zhang Hu of the Jingzhou army, and brothers Wu Yunzhao killed Chen Sheng of the Jingzhou army and Chen Wu of the Jiangdong army respectively. So far, Zhu Yuanzhang had died in battles against Gao and Chen Wu one after another in the battle against Dong.
The two generals made Zhu Yuanzhang feel distressed for a while.
You know, although Zhu Yuanzhang is no longer in the early stage of starting a business, he still doesn't have many generals at his disposal. Losing two in a row is already a big loss for Zhu Yuanzhang.
Of course, the heaviest casualty in this battle was Kong Rong, and Li Ying, Du Xing, and Sun Xin died on the battlefield. These three people were unlucky and faced the peerless Shi Wansui. The result was that
There were four enemies against one, but only the strongest Sun Li could barely escape with his life.
Sun Jian also lost a general in this battle. Huang Xin of Zhensanshan charged too hard when the two armies were fighting, and instead fell into the siege of Dong Zhuo's army. In the end, it was difficult for him to defeat four hands with two fists.
When Sun Jian's rescue arrived, he was seriously injured and could not save himself.
Not only that, this battle also caused losses to Li Xiang's subordinates. After fighting together, Li Siyuan, Li Kerang, and Li Kexiu chased the injured Lu Bu, hoping to save Li Conghou and Li Congcan who had died in the previous battle.
The two took revenge, but unexpectedly bumped into Yu Juluo, Wu Bao and Wu Deng who came to support them.
Under Yu Juluo's critical attack, Li Kerang and Li Kexiu, who were caught off guard, died tragically immediately. Although Li Siyuan had already reacted, he was already on his own when all his helpers were killed. After being beaten by the three
Under siege, Li Siyuan could only hold on for a few seconds, but he was already covered in bruises.
Fortunately, Xue Rengui came to the rescue in time, and Yu Juluo and the others were frightened away. How could Yu Juluo and the others dare to fight against this formidable enemy who could even shoot and wound Lu Bu so easily, not to mention that Li Siyuan and the others had not yet completely
Solve it!
Although the cooldown time of Xue Rengui's three-arrow skill has not completely passed, it is not unreasonable to just unleash the power of the second arrow.
You must know that although Li Kerang and Li Kexiu who died in the battle did not appear clearly in the Bingzhou Army, they could be called Li Xiang's uncles in name. Therefore, in order to keep Yu Juluo and others
, Xue Rengui even used the cloud-piercing arrow again, which he only used when facing Lu Bu.
Under Xue Rengui's magic arrow, Wu Bao and Wu Deng were killed immediately with one blow. Only the strongest Yu Juluo escaped with injuries.
Yu Juluo's escape also means that Xue Rengui has lost one of his cloud-piercing arrows. There are only ten cloud-piercing arrows. Although each arrow can be used multiple times, if it cannot be recovered after being shot, then the arrow will naturally be lost.
is permanently lost.
When Dong Zhuo discovered that the coalition forces of the Kwantung princes could not be defeated by relying on soldiers to fight head-on, and that his own generals did not seem to be strong enough, and many of them had been killed or injured, Dong Zhuo simply gave up his plan to conduct a field battle.
, retreated into the Hulao Pass, and no matter how many princes called for formation, they did not go out to fight!
Hulao Pass is also the most powerful pass in the world, easy to defend but difficult to attack, so the coalition forces of the princes also began to retreat back, set up camp, and confronted Dong Zhuo's army in Hulao Pass.
…
In Hulao Pass, Dong Zhuo first started to get angry, and then sighed with a hint of helplessness, "These Guandong thieves are really ungrateful, but these people are also a big trouble. After gathering together, they can threaten our family!"
"
"Prime Minister, don't worry. With Hulao Pass, the most powerful pass in the world, those Guandong rebels can't do anything to us. Prime Minister, don't be angry. We will fight again in the future." Li Ru, Dong Zhuo's chief adviser, hurriedly comforted Dong Zhuo.
"Wen You, you are my wise man, do you have any clever strategies to repel those traitors?" Dong Zhuo asked urgently after hearing the voice of his confidant.
Li Ru rolled his eyes, touched his short beard with one hand, and said with a smile: "Xiangguo, these rebels from Guandong are indeed a big threat when they get together, but what if they become a piece of loose sand? Except for the dead Qiao Mao, there are still rebels outside Guanxi.
There are as many as twenty-one princes. They raised armies to rebel against the prime minister's country, just for profit, power, or fame. But the twenty-one princes may have their own evil intentions in their hearts. We don't need to forcefully send troops to fight with them. We can send
People bribe those governors and governors, divide and disintegrate their alliances. As long as they are not united and fight among themselves, hehe, they will be in chaos without the Prime Minister having to take action himself."
"Okay, what a brilliant idea! Wenyou, based on what you have seen, who do you think can be bribed?" Dong Zhuo nodded in agreement.
"The Prime Minister, General Wei, and Hanoi Prefect Li Xiang have a sworn friendship with the Prime Minister. This person should be roped in first. Even if the wooing fails, if this matter is spread, it will inevitably cause discord between Li Zifeng and other traitors in Guandong!"
Li Ru pondered and then stood up and said.
"Prime Minister, Cao Mengde, the prefect of Chenliu, and Sun Wentai, the prefect of Lu County, still have friendship with the prime minister during the Yellow Turban period. These two people can also win over one or two!" Qin Hui added at the side, "As for other princes, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu will not be
You can buy it off, but others can still give it a try. If it succeeds, everyone will be happy, and even if you fail to become the Prime Minister, the country will not suffer any losses!"
"Okay, Wen Youzhen is worthy of being the official minister of our family. Now I'll leave it to you two!" Dong Zhuo said excitedly with a wave of his hand.
"Promise! I will live up to the trust of the Prime Minister." Li Ru and Qin Hui replied respectfully.
