Dong Zhuo is still gathering the defeated troops at this moment. Nearly 30,000 people have already returned to the army. The rest must have fled too far and will not be able to return for a while.
"Zhang Yue, we already have more than 20,000 soldiers. Go quickly to support Captain Liu!"
Dong Zhuo did not agree, but looked hesitant on his face. He didn't want to go to support Liu Zhang.
"My dear son-in-law, there are more than 20,000 soldiers this time. How about we return to the camp temporarily to regroup our morale and fight Zhangjiao again?"
Dong Zhuo's idea was very simple. Although he had been defeated before, tens of thousands of troops and horses were still there, and the court still had room for relaxation.
If they support Liu Zhang, they are likely to be defeated again, and then there will really be very few of these tens of thousands of troops left!
When the court blames him, he will not be forgiven easily, and he may be chopped off his head!
When the young scribe heard this, he was very worried. How could Dong Zhuo, who was so good at martial arts, change his mind?
"Master-in-law, didn't we just agree? Liu Zhang only has 2,000 men. If he doesn't support him, he will definitely be in trouble!"
"I think it's better to withdraw our troops and return to the main camp temporarily."
Dong Zhuo still insists on his own ideas. Now he has no desire to make meritorious deeds. As long as he doesn't make any more mistakes, he will be thankful!
Dong Zhuo learned from every experience. If he hadn't been eager to make meritorious deeds before, how could he have fallen into Zhang Jiao's scheme?
Just when Dong Zhuo was about to give the order to return to the camp, Liu Zhang galloped towards him with his cavalry.
"No, Liu Zhang has been defeated. Retreat quickly!"
Dong Zhuo was so frightened that he trembled. Liu Zhang must have been defeated if he ran towards him so quickly!
The young scribe looked at Dong Zhuo in despair, where has the iron-blooded man who bravely fought against foreign races gone? Now he is so greedy for life and afraid of death!
"This Liu Zhang is so calm, he doesn't look like he is returning in defeat! My father-in-law, please don't panic!"
Dong Zhuo did not escape directly because of his son-in-law's strong request.
Facts proved that he was right not to leave, and Liu Zhang returned victorious.
"Dong Zhonglang, fortunately you have lived up to your command. Kill Zhang Jiao and return!"
"What!"
Dong Zhuo and the scribes were shocked and looked suspicious.
"What did you say? Who did you kill?"
"Bring it up!"
Liu Zhang waved his hand, and then Zhang Jue's head was presented.
It turned out to be Zhang Jiao’s head!
Dong Zhuo and Dong Zhuo looked at each other and saw horror in each other's eyes.
"How did General Liu do it?"
Liu Zhang told the story in a leisurely manner without adding any extravagance.
Dong Zhuo pinched his thigh hard, and the severe pain told him that he was not dreaming.
This young man who has not yet reached the crown is really so amazing!
Face tens of thousands of enemy troops without fear! With a little trick, Zhang Jue and Zhang Bao were fooled around, and even cut off Zhang Jue's head himself!
It seems that it was not luck that caused Zhanbo to break the Yellow Turban.
What a young hero!
Liu Zhang no longer felt anything about the horrified expressions of Dong Zhuo and Dong Zhuo.
He had seen this look too many times.
First it was Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song, and later it was Lu Zhi.
"Why is General Dong being chased by the Yellow Turbans?"
"Why!"
Facing Liu Zhang's questions, Dong Zhuo turned slightly red, shook his head and sighed.
He held an army of tens of thousands and fled in embarrassment after being chased by Zhang Jiao. Liu Zhang only had 2,000 troops, but he killed Zhang Jiao and returned!
This achievement is really a world of difference!
"I regret not listening to my wise son-in-law!"
"oh?"
Liu Zhang was very curious about this son-in-law, pointed at the young man and asked: "Who is this?"
The young scholar bowed his hands to Liu Zhang and replied:
"My Excellency, Li Ru, is currently General Dong's military advisor and also his son-in-law!"
Sure enough it was him!
Li Ru!
Liu Zhang couldn't help but look at this frail young man again. This man poisoned the young emperor and was the instigator of the demise of the Han Dynasty!
Li Ru is inconspicuous, with a very thin build, a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, and small eyes. He really does look like a vicious person!
"General? Has General Liu seen me?"
Liu Zhang's gaze made Li Ru very awkward. He was sure that he did not recognize Liu Zhang.
Liu Zhang calmed down and showed an apologetic smile.
"No, please speak, Commander Li."
Li Ru nodded and told the story of Dong Zhuo's defeat.
It turned out that Dong Zhuo had besieged Guangzong City for more than a month, and his attacks were repeatedly frustrated without any success.
Thinking of Lu Zhi's fate, Dong Zhuo wanted to attack elsewhere.
It happened that the scouts caught a spy and learned that Guangzong City was running out of food and Zhang Jiao wanted to escape to his brother Zhang Bao. The route and time agreed upon by the two was learned by Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo felt that this was a God-given opportunity to catch both of them in one fell swoop and achieve immortality. Proposed to ambush Zhang Jiao.
Li Ru felt that things were too abnormal and must be Zhang Jue's plan to lure Dong Zhuo there. If Dong Zhuo went to ambush Zhang Juozheng, he would definitely have fallen into Zhang Jue's plan.
But Dong Zhuo refused to listen. Relying on the tens of thousands of troops in his hands and his own strength, he refused to listen to Li Ru's earnest words and insisted on ambushing Zhang Jiao.
It went very smoothly at first, and Dong Zhuo got his wish and waited until Zhang Jiao. As soon as the ambush came out, the Yellow Turban Army was immediately in chaos. Zhang Jiao began to flee when he saw this.
How could Dong Zhuo let a cooked duck fly away? He pursued desperately and vowed to capture Zhang Jiao.
Zhang Jiao retreated while fighting, always attracting Dong Zhuo to pursue him. Unexpectedly, Zhang Bao was leading his army not far away to ambush Dong Zhuo.
The result can be imagined. Dong Zhuo pursued madly, and the soldiers fell behind seriously. In addition, their physical strength was severely exhausted. As soon as Zhang Bao's ambush troops came out, the officers and soldiers were immediately in chaos.
Dong Zhuo was unwilling to fail and forced himself to fight Zhang Bao. Not long after, the Yellow Turban Army came from all directions, and Dong Zhuo was attacked from both sides.
Seeing that the situation was irreversible, Dong Zhuo fled for his life alone, no longer caring about the life or death of his soldiers.
