The first thousand and forty-six chapters of various princes discuss Chu
It is conceivable that as the leading generals in the Xiliang army chose to run away one by one, the remaining soldiers were already demoralized and unsettled due to the impact of Dong Zhuo's death. As a result, they saw that their generals chose
Running away, all the soldiers who were still resisting suddenly gave up their resistance.
Even their own generals have given up resistance. Why are the soldiers fighting for their lives? Isn't it bad to live?
A large number of soldiers began to drop their weapons and kneel down to surrender. Without Chu Yi's instructions, Yan Xing, Xu Huang and other generals led the army to attack the Xiliang soldiers who were still forming formations to resist, and ordered some of their subordinates to start.
Gather those soldiers who surrendered.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that in this situation, the overall situation has been decided. Even if Dong Zhuo is resurrected, it will not be able to change the collapse of the Xiliang army.
Starting from noon and continuing until dusk, in addition to the tens of thousands of Xiliang troops who escaped, the remaining tens of thousands of soldiers were captured at least 30,000 soldiers aside from those who were killed at the beginning.
Seeing the groups of captured soldiers being escorted into the military camp, He Miao sighed and said to Chu Yi: "If it hadn't been for the Marquis of Pingze to take action this time, I'm afraid the capital would have been breached by now.
"
After all, He Miao was somewhat self-aware. He knew very well that Dong Zhuo's troops alone were already overwhelming for him, let alone Ding Yuan's troops.
That is to say, he asked Chu Yi for help immediately, otherwise, the capital would be captured as he said.
Of course, He Miao also knew in his heart that even if he did not ask Chu Yi for help, Chu Yi would not be able to sit back and watch the capital being breached. But if He Miao also knew, if he really did not ask Chu Yi for help, then what would happen to him
There is only one, and that is to be killed by a secret move laid by Chu Yi like Lu Bu.
After his death, Chu Yi could naturally stand up and take over the capital's army. At that time, except that he was killed in vain, the result would still be the same as it is now.
With a fierce general like Lu Bu who was placed next to Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo's life and death can be said to be in the hands of Chu Yi. Judging from the composition of the Xiliang army, once Dong Zhuo dies and the army rushes into the formation, Xiliang will
It is difficult for Liang Jun not to collapse.
Chu Yi glanced at He Miao and said: "General Chariot and Cavalry has done a great job in repelling the Xiliang army. General Chariot and Cavalry is indispensable. Your Majesty and the Queen Mother will definitely be generously rewarded..."
Hearing what Chu Yi said, He Miao suddenly showed a bit of shame on his face. He was still somewhat self-aware. He knew very well that he was able to win Wanqun in this battle because of Chu Yi, so He Miao's face was full of shame.
He said sternly to Chu Yi: "The Marquis of Pingze Township is joking. This is all thanks to the Marquis. What credit can He have to say!"
Here, He Miao and Chu Yi were discussing how to ask for credit from the imperial court. At the same time, like a lost dog, Guo Bang, Niu Fu and other generals of the Xiliang Army led their personal guards and finally got rid of the pursuit of the imperial army.
In a flat land dozens of miles away from the capital, the Bingzhou army fled for dozens of miles and finally stopped nearby.
Following closely behind the Bingzhou Jingqi were the troops led by Zhang Ji and Fan Chou who retreated first under the guidance of Li Ru.
Xiliang's tens of thousands of troops retreated intact, but Zhang Ji and Fan Chou's men totaled nearly ten thousand.
As for the generals such as Guo Si, Niu Fu, Xu Rong, etc. who were a step behind, they were unable to take away their own men under such circumstances, and could only take away hundreds of soldiers.
After struggling for a long time, Guo Si, Niu Fu, Xu Rong and others joined Zhang Ji, Fan Chou, and all the Xiliang generals, each of whom was more likely to escape.
But at this moment, all the generals looked heavy. Everyone was sitting in a simple tent, and the atmosphere seemed very depressing.
Compared with not long ago, everyone was full of high spirits and threatened to attack the capital, but now they are like bereaved dogs.
After a while, Niu Fu, who had a rather upright temperament, spoke first: "Everyone, Lord Dong was harmed by a villain like Lu Bu. We must avenge him."
As he spoke, Niu Fu looked up at Li Ru who was sitting there and said, "Wenyou, what do you think?"
Li Ru raised his head and looked at Niu Fu. His wise eyes seemed to be able to see through Niu Fu's thoughts, which only made Niu Fu lower his head with a guilty conscience.
But before Li Ru could speak, Fan Chou turned to Niu Fu and said, "I don't know what General Niu Fu means. Could it be that you want to command everyone?"
No one is a fool. Although Niu Fu didn't say it clearly, his meaning was unspoken.
It's just that Fan Chou was the first to express Niu Fu's thoughts. Seeing a crowd of people staring at him, Niu Fu puffed up his chest and said, "Who said I would command everyone? The Xiliang Army was developed step by step by my father-in-law. Now,
If my father-in-law dies, then the Xiliang Army must choose a commander, and this commander can only be a descendant of my father-in-law."
As he spoke, Niu Fu looked up at everyone and said with a clear conscience: "Is what Niu said wrong?"
I never thought that Niu Fu would say such a thing. Suddenly everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and everyone remained silent.
If there is really an amazing person among Dong Zhuo's descendants, it would be fine if everyone supports him as the leader of the Xiliang Army. The key point is that there is no talent at all among Dong Zhuo's descendants, let alone
He has enough prestige to overwhelm the generals and command the remnant army of Xiliang.
Li Ru sighed softly, waved his hand and said, "Just tell me which young master you want to support."
Niu Fu glanced at Li Ru and said: "The third young master has a mellow temperament and is quite capable of force. He is the best successor to my father-in-law..."
When everyone heard this, they all looked at Niu Fu strangely. How come they didn't know that the third young master Niu Fu mentioned was just a half-grown child who was just ten years old. It was unreasonable for everyone to support such a half-grown child.
It would be better to say that Niu Fu wanted to take over the remnants of the Xiliang Army under the banner of Third Young Master.
With a cold snort, as one of the people with the largest number of soldiers and horses under his command, Fan Chou just rolled his eyes at Niu Fu and said, "I don't agree!"
Niu Fu couldn't help but said anxiously: "You... your father-in-law's spirit is not far away in heaven, but you actually want to betray the Xiliang army?"
Fan Chou couldn't help but sneer after hearing this: "If you are dedicated to serving the public, that's fine, but don't everyone know what you are thinking about? Don't think that you are the only smart person, everyone is a fool.
!”
At this moment, Zhang Ji also expressed his position: "Zhang also doesn't agree!"
This is a good time. Zhang Ji and Fan Chou have tens of thousands of troops under their command, which can be said to account for 90% of the soldiers who escaped from Xiliang. If they don't agree, the so-called leader of the Xiliang army will naturally be
A joke.
As he spoke, Zhang Ji looked at Li Ru, who was sitting there with a dejected look on his face, bowed his hands slightly and said, "Mr. Wen You, you have always been resourceful. Now where do you want to go? I hope you can show us a clear path."
"
Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard this. Compared to the ambitious Niu Fu, everyone was more willing to believe in the resourceful existence of Li Ru.
After all, Li Ru did not command troops in the army. He always served as Dong Zhuo's military advisor and advised him. Everyone knew Li Ru's ability, so they would rather believe Li Ru than Niu Fu at the moment.
Both Dong Zhuo's sons-in-law, Li Ru and Niu Fu, were both civil and military. But at this moment, the generals showed two completely different attitudes.
When Niu Fu saw this, he couldn't help but angrily pointed at everyone and said: "You..."
However, no one paid attention to Niu Fu, but looked at Li Ru.
Li Ru's eyes swept over the group of people, and he muttered: "I have two strategies for everyone."
It can be said that everyone is at a loss at this moment and is even more confused about the way forward, but they did not expect that Li Ru would give everyone two suggestions.
The generals were shocked and looked at Li Rudao: "Sir, please speak quickly!"
Li Ru stroked his beard and said: "The first is for everyone to pack up their things, immediately order their troops and horses, and return to Xiliang non-stop, and then write to the court, begging the court to accept it. From a certain perspective, Chu Yi will not kill everyone.
It’s a way to survive.”
Everyone looked at each other. Although they were a little reluctant, they had to admit that Li Ru's strategy was indeed a life-saving strategy. It was just that they chose to surrender to Chu Yi, who was still chasing them not long ago. There was always a slight change in their psychology.
But come and bend.
Seeing everyone's reaction in his eyes, Li Ru said again: "The second is that the generals defected to Yuan Benchu and made him the leader!"
"What!"
If they could accept the first strategy, then the second strategy mentioned by Li Ru was simply beyond their imagination.
Even if they were dreaming, no one expected that Li Ru would suggest that they go and seek refuge with Yuan Shao.
Of course, everyone knows about Yuan Shao. He was born in the fourth generation and the third generation of the Yuan family. He is one of the most handsome young men in the world today and can be regarded as a man of great influence.
But asking them to go and seek refuge with Yuan Shao would cause even greater psychological discomfort.
Li Ru said slowly: "From my perspective, the foundation of the Han Dynasty has been severely damaged since the Yellow Turban Rebellion. The late emperor also established the state pastoral system, which can be said to have planted the seeds of chaos in the world. Now the imperial court is too weak to suppress the world, and the heroes are scattered.
All parties, the world is in chaos. Yuan Benchu should be a hidden dragon. He may not be able to take advantage of the trend and rise up in the future. The dragon will fly to the sky..."
After listening to what Li Ru said, everyone was silent for a while. They had to admit that what Li Ru said made sense.
Slowly getting up, Li Ru walked out of the tent and said, "Now that I have said that, it is up to you to choose where to go."
Li Ru's figure disappeared among the army, and there was silence in the camp. It was obvious that all the generals were thinking about their future.
There was a noise of people and horses not far away. It was Bingzhou Jingqi who retreated first under Yuan Shao's suggestion.
The scene of the Xiliang army's defeat and collapse was naturally discovered by Ding Yuan and Yuan Shao. When they saw the miserable scene of the Xiliang army's defeat, they felt sad in their hearts.
After all, they were also responsible for the defeat of the Xiliang Army. If they could have used all their troops to help the Xiliang Army at that time, even if it was a defeat, it would not have been such a disastrous defeat.
However, Ding Yuan now looked at Yuan Shao with admiration and said, "If it weren't for Benchu this time, maybe our Bingzhou Jingqi would also suffer heavy losses. I wonder if Benchu would be willing to be in our army..."
When Yuan Shao heard Ding Yuan's solicitation, he couldn't help but feel moved in his heart. However, he quickly gave up his thoughts, shook his head slightly towards Ding Yuan, and said to Ding Yuan with a serious look on his face: "My lord, please give me your kind regards."
I can only accept it with my heart.”
He looked at Yuan Shao in surprise, only to hear Yuan Shao say solemnly: "Now that the eunuchs are in power, Yuan should follow the general's legacy, hold high the banner of the Qing Dynasty, eradicate the eunuchs from the imperial court, and restore order to the Han Dynasty.
"
Ding Yuan's face was full of surprise when he heard this, and he praised: "I have good ambitions at first, and I am one of a certain family."

Where will your future go?
