Seeing that the Xiliang soldiers retreated one after another, Yuan Shao finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and hurriedly glanced around, Yuan Shao couldn't help but be afraid for a while, there were heavy casualties around him, and tens of thousands of horses trapped outside the city, after a tragic battle, there were less than 20,000 people left, and more than half of them fell.

Looking back at the city wall of Luoyang, just right, I saw Yuan Shu looking out of the city on the wall, the two brothers looked at each other, the scene was embarrassing, Yuan Shu felt ashamed, and hurriedly retracted his head, Yuan Shao shook his teeth vigorously, and glared at Yuan Shu fiercely, the bloodthirsty gaze was like a beast that wanted to choose people to devour.

He never dreamed that Yuan Shu would be so despicable and shameless, he didn't care about the life and death of these people, and closed the city gate, if it wasn't for Lu Zhuo to bring people in time, maybe Yuan Shao and these people would have to die under the iron cavalry of the Xiliang soldiers.

"Wait..."

Li Ru suddenly shouted, and he stared at Lu Zhuo with straight eyes, "Lu Zhuo, how can we believe that you won't coax us, people, we have already let us go, but my father-in-law has been coerced by you, I think, what you do is too unfair." ”

Dong Zhuo was also stunned for a moment, and he also chuckled in his heart, in case this guy waited for him to let people go, and suddenly regretted killing himself, then it would be too late to regret it.

Lu Zhuo shook his head: Don't worry, I, Lu Zhuo, mean what I say, as long as you let everyone go, I will never break my word.

"Never break your word? You are a nameless person, if you really break your word, how can we do you like this, can your life be worthy of the body of my lord's army? Li Ru sneered disdainfully.

What if Lu Zhuo wanted to exchange his life with Dong Zhuo? Li Ru was thoughtful, and he had to guard against this.

This is not a one-on-one exchange of hostages between the two armies: you put one of my people, I put one of yours, it is fair and reasonable, and neither side suffers!

Now, taking a Dong Zhuo in exchange for the lives of so many allied soldiers, the Xiliang soldiers have retreated hundreds of steps, but Dong Zhuo is still being held hostage, which is very unfair to Li Ru, if the princes are released, if Lu Zhuo suddenly repents and wants to die with Dong Zhuo, Li Ru has to defend this.

"So, I have a suggestion!" Just when the two sides were at a stalemate, Xu Shu walked over.

"Oh? What do you suggest? ”

Li Ru glanced at Xu Shu indifferently, he didn't have any impression in his mind, and couldn't help but sneer.

Xu Shu smiled and said, "You can first count the number of troops on our side, for example, 10,000, you will leave 8,000 on your side, and all the rest will be withdrawn far away, and then we will release Dong Zhuo, and everyone will be fairer." ”

Xu Shu's proposal was agreed by the allies. 10,000 to 8,000, there is no need to worry that the Xiliang soldiers will re-encircle the Allied forces, even if they fight again, the Allied forces will not be too passive.

wants Dong Zhuo to let the princes go in vain, it's not that Dong Zhuo is unwilling, but that the price on Dong Zhuo's side is not only too great, but also Dong Zhuo's life cannot be guaranteed, once Lu Zhuo repents and insists on killing Dong Zhuo, it is definitely not what Li Ru wants to see.

If Lu Zhuo is allowed to release Dong Zhuo now, Lu Zhuo will definitely not do it, because the Xiliang soldiers can continue to charge immediately, and the allies will be encircled again, because the advantage of the Xiliang iron cavalry is too obvious, especially in the open plain area, the cavalry goes back and forth, like a wind and clouds, no matter how far the allies flee, the cavalry can catch up with them.

Therefore, Xu Shu's proposal is very reasonable, that is, to reduce the comparison of the strength of the two armies as much as possible, otherwise, if Dong Zhuo is released, there will be no guarantee for the allies, if the princes are allowed to leave first, Li Ru and Dong Zhuo will obviously not agree, everyone is far away, just leave a Lu Zhuo, this kind of deal, who will agree?

"Ten thousand against eight thousand?" Li Ru smiled disdainfully: "You think it's beautiful!" ”

"I haven't finished speaking, on our side, it's the horse infantry army, and on your side, it's just infantry, so it's reasonable."

Xu Shu's words made the allied soldiers applaud again and again, if the allied army is 10,000 people on this side, and the other party is 8,000 elite cavalry, although the opponent's troops are smaller, but it still makes people very jealous.

Cavalry, on the battlefield, is far more advantageous than infantry, and elite cavalry, with one enemy of ten, is not an exaggeration at all!

"Hehe......" Li Ru smiled coldly, "Do you think I will agree to such conditions?" ”

"You don't need to agree, he just promises!" Lu Zhuo pointed at Dong Zhuo and suddenly interjected.

Dong Zhuo's eyes rolled a few times, and Lu Zhuo smiled in his ear, "You'd better think clearly, of course, if you feel that your life is worthless, I don't care, it's a big deal to send you on the road, and then fight to the death with your people, anyway, I will slaughter you, it's worth it!" ”

"Okay, the old man promises you."

10,000 against 8,000, Dong Zhuo immediately let his cavalry retreat, and Xi Zhicai hurriedly asked Xiahoudun to send scouts to keep an eye on the Xiliang cavalry along the way, and the two sides agreed that the other party's cavalry must be twenty miles away from here.

Although Lu Zhuo wanted to hold Dong Zhuo hostage and let him 'escort' everyone to leave safely, it was obviously unrealistic, and it was already rare for Dong Zhuo to agree to retreat the cavalry far away.

After all, although Dong Zhuo spares his life, he is not a fool, and his life is not guaranteed, so he will not nod in agreement.

"Yan Liang, immediately send someone to count the number."

"Yes..."Yan Liang agreed, Le's heart was overjoyed, and just about to go to the execution, Yuan Shao told again, "Remember, only count the people outside the city!" ”

"Understood!" Yan Liang comprehended, and did not forget to turn around and look at Yuan Shu coldly.

"Huh? What are they muttering? Yuan Shu stood on the high wall, far away, and couldn't hear what Yuan Shao was saying, but he found that the Xiliang cavalry had withdrawn.

Yuan Shu had already become a frightened bird, and he was still a little uneasy in his heart, and he didn't dare to open the door and leave the city as soon as possible, for fear that Dong Zhuo would have some traps or conspiracy. 、

"Highway, they seem to have already negotiated." Gongsun Zhan poked his head out and looked at it for a while, then turned back to Yuan Shudao.

Yuan Shu was still not at ease, and couldn't help but ask loudly at the soldiers under the city, "Hey... What are you doing? ”

It's a pity that Yuan Shu's question didn't respond at all, and no one paid attention to him.

Gongsun Chan came up and asked, Kong Rong couldn't bear it, and kindly sent someone close to the city wall to tell them about the negotiation between the two sides.

After hearing this, Yuan Shu was overjoyed, and couldn't help but clench his fists together fiercely, turned around, Yuan Shu hurriedly ran down the city wall, and while running, he excitedly ordered, "Open the city gate quickly!" ”
