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 the fight was brutal, it did not last long. The Kwantung Allied Forces had high morale due to the victory of the generals, while Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Army had been honing its combat effectiveness at the border for a long time. Both sides had their own advantages.
After finding that they could not overwhelm the other side, Dong Zhuo and the Kwantung Allied Forces tacitly chose a temporary truce. After all, if the fight continues like this, it will only weaken the strength of both sides, and it will not have the slightest decisive effect on the battle situation.
However, although the fighting lasted only a short time, the generals on both sides suffered a lot. Most of them were casualties caused by the melee between Xing Tian and Wu Wenming, and a small number of them died in the fighting just now.
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 Benzhen, 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. At this point, Zhu Yuanzhang had already died in battle against two generals, Gao and Chen Wu, in the battle against Dong, but Zhu Yuanzhang felt 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, Kong Rong suffered the heaviest losses in this battle, and three generals, Li Ying, Du Xing, and Sun Xin, died on the battlefield. These three people were unlucky to face the peerless Shi Wansui. As a result, with four enemies against one, only Sun Li, the strongest, could barely escape with his life.
Sun Jian also lost a general in this battle. Huang Xin, who was in Zhensanshan, charged too hard when the two armies were fighting, and instead fell into the siege of Dong Zhuo's army. In the end, two fists were no match for four hands. By the time Sun Jian's rescue arrived, he had been seriously injured and had no way to save himself.
Not only that, this battle also caused losses to Li Xiang's subordinates. After waiting to fight together, Li Siyuan, Li Kerang, and Li Kexiu chased the injured Lu Bu. They wanted to avenge Li Conghou and Li Congcan who had died in the battle before, but they unexpectedly ran into Yu Juluo and Li Congcan who came to support them. Wu Bao and Wooden.
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. Being surrounded by three people, 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 the three Yu Juluo were frightened away. How could Yu Juluo and the others dare to challenge this formidable enemy who could even shoot and wound Lu Bu so easily, not to mention that Li Siyuan and the others had not been completely eliminated before this!
Although the cooldown time of Xue Rengui's three-arrow skill has not completely passed, it is not unreasonable to just exert the power of the second arrow.
You know, although Li Kerang and Li Kexiu, who died in the battle, did not appear prominently in the Bingzhou Army, they could still be called Li Xiang's uncles in name. Therefore, in order to keep Yu Juluo and the others alive, Xue Rengui even used the cloud-penetrating arrow again, which he only used when facing Lu Bu.
Under Xue Rengui's magic arrow, Wu Bao and Wu Deng were killed in one blow. Only the strongest Yu Juluo escaped with injuries.
And 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 permanently.
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 the most powerful pass in the world and is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Therefore, 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 was furious at first, 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, but do you have any clever strategies to repel those traitors?" Dong Zhuo immediately asked anxiously 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 21, and they have raised troops to rebel against the Prime Minister's country, just for profit, power, or fame. But the 21 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 become chaotic on their own without the Prime Minister taking action. "
"Okay, what a brilliant idea! Wen You, based on what you have seen, who do you think can be bribed?" Dong Zhuo nodded in agreement.
"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 spreads, it will inevitably cause discord between Li Zifeng and other traitors in Guandong!" Li Ru stood up after thinking for a while 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 can also win over one or two!" Qin Hui added at the side, "As for the other princes, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu will not be Bribery, but others can still give it a try. If it succeeds, everyone will be happy, and even if it fails to become the Prime Minister, the country will not lose anything!"
"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 big wave of his hand.
"Promise! I will live up to the trust of the Prime Minister." Li Ru and Qin Hui replied respectfully.
