The battle outside the city of Yiwu ended quickly, and the two armies that were exhausted were crushed in a blink of an eye under the impact of Liu Xin's regular army.

Although the Han infantry that came from Chang'an was only 30,000 men, they were at an absolute disadvantage in numbers, although they had also gone through a long journey in the torrential rain, and their bodies were also extremely tired, although their formation had been disrupted and was temporarily combined by soldiers from the first, second, and fifth legions, but the long-term strict training that was almost cruel not only allowed them to exercise a strong physique, but also gave them a tenacious will. Traveling and fighting in bad weather is one of their compulsory courses, and the impact of this rainstorm on them can be said to be minimal, but it gives them the advantage in the fight.

In the face of the wolf-like Han soldiers, the fierce Qiang soldiers and the Xiongnu soldiers and the once fierce Xiliang soldiers, there was almost no power to fight back, many people have given up resistance and chose to disarm and surrender, and the few diehards who were left to resist stubbornly were also fallen in a pool of blood one after another under the attack of the Han army, and there were countless steps to stop the advance of the Han army.

Dong Zhuo is obese, and he will be unbearable if he sits for a little longer, not to mention that it is even more difficult for a strong man to travel for a long time in the heavy rain, so even on the way to escape, he did not forget to take the huge carriage with the Qingluo umbrella cover, which was particularly dazzling in the chaos of the army.

Seeing that the guards around him continued to fall, when he was in danger, Dong Zhuo also reddened, grabbed a spear and picked it up, as the saying goes, the body is strong and does not lose, if you talk about brute force alone, these Han soldiers are really not Dong Zhuo's opponents, more than ten people were knocked to the ground by him in a row, Huang Zhong roared angrily when he saw this, and rushed forward with a Chixia treasure knife, Dong Zhuo didn't have time to think about it, he raised his spear and stabbed, he was already dragged by Huang Zhong, and with a backhand knife, Dong Zhuo's arm was unloaded, blood splattered out, Dong Zhuo screamed in pain, fainted,

This battle almost annihilated all the men and horses of the two sides who were still fighting to the death just now, captured Dong Zhuo, Li Ru, Niu Fu, and Beigong Boyu, captured more than 60,000 people, and captured as many as 100,000 horses.

At this time, the rain that had been falling for a whole day gradually stopped, Liu Xin looked at the soldiers of the Han army covered in mud and the prisoners who were also covered in mud, and sighed in his heart, this is really a timely rain, otherwise these soldiers of his can only rely on two legs, even if they can catch up with the enemy, it is not easy to defeat those cavalry, and even pay casualties that he can't afford, Liu Xin knows very well that Dong Zhuo's subordinates will definitely not be some die-hard people, and now that even Dong Zhuo has been caught, what reason do others have to continue to resist, As long as Dong Zhuo is escorted to the city of Yiwu, I believe that the guards in the city will immediately open the city gate and ask for surrender.

Thinking of this, Liu Xin turned his head to Huang Zhong and said, "Han Sheng, pick a few stronger captives and carry Dong Zhuo to Yi Wu." ”

Huang Zhong glanced back, and said with some embarrassment: "Lord, Dong Zhuo's house is too heavy, if you let people carry it away, I don't know when I will be able to reach Yiwu, it is better to cut him down, take his head to the city and shout, who dares to surrender the defenders in the city." ”

When Dong Zhuo fought with Beigong Boyu and Liu Bao just now, he also fought and retreated, it was less than five miles away from Yi Wu, although it was only a short five miles away, but if he wanted Dong Zhuo to walk through the muddy water by himself, it was impossible, not to mention that he was seriously injured now, even if he was in good limbs, it was also an difficult task to let a big fat man walk such a long way on a flat avenue, this was the first time Liu Xin met Dong Zhuo, according to his visual measurements, Dong Zhuo's weight was five or six hundred catties, It was already very difficult for a few strong young men to carry him, and he would definitely not be able to walk fast in the muddy water.

It is said that most of the wealth that Dong Zhuo has scavenged in recent years has been hoarded in Yiwu City, where there are countless gold and jewelry, these money and grain are very important for the reconstruction of Guanzhong and even the entire Sili region, the war that lasted for nearly half a year not only consumed a huge amount, but also the pension of the casualties and the subsidies for their families in the future will also be a large expense, Liu Xin can no longer draw a large amount of money from Jing and Yierzhou to invest here, Therefore, only to sacrifice the magic weapon of "black eats black" again, not only will he take away Yi Wu's money and grain, but in the next step, he will also send people to check the property of Dong Zhuoyu's party in Chang'an City.

However, Liu Xin couldn't easily behead Dong Zhuo on the spot, the scholars in the court had been divided into two factions, one remained in Chang'an, and the other followed Wang Yun to Luoyang, no matter which faction the scholars and ministers were, in fact, they were forced by Dong Zhuo to move out of Luoyang, so these people hated Dong Zhuo in their hearts.

That part of the scholars who went to Luoyang with Wang Yun, Liu Xin can't control them for the time being, those people are more loyal to Liu Xie, but except for Wang Yun and a few other masterminds, most of the other people's families and property are still in Chang'an, and Liu Xin has time to deal with them slowly.

And Yang Biao and Huang Wan, the people who stayed in Chang'an, can imagine that they are just forced to be helpless now, and they are obedient to Liu Xin on the surface, but they will not be convinced behind the scenes, and many of these people are together with the Hedong Wei family, spreading rumors about Liu Xin everywhere, Liu Xin has set up a cabinet and six ministries in Xiangyang, the existence of these ministers, both public and private, has become a little redundant, but Chang'an is newly attached, people's hearts are unstable, Liu Xin also has to give them some sweetness when he takes back the power of these people, In addition to keeping their fortunes unchanged, and even increasing, a living Dong Zhuo is also one of the gifts that Liu Xin is going to give them, Liu Xin is ready to hand over Dong Zhuo to Yang Biao and Huang Wan for interrogation, sentencing, and beheading, so naturally he can't be killed now.

Liu Xin was originally just a big thief, and there was a cruel side hidden in the depths of his surname, and from time to time some violent thoughts would burst out, seeing Dong Zhuo, who had lost an arm and was still unconscious, Liu Xin's eyes flashed a strange look again, and he sneered and said: "Since you can't lift him, then drag him away." ”

Left behind in Yiwu is one of the four captains under Dong Zhuo Fan Chou, he originally had three thousand flying bear army in his hands, the flying bear army was transferred by Lu Bu and replaced with three thousand Luoyang old army, these Luoyang old army combat effectiveness and the flying bear army are naturally not the same, and the military discipline is lax, just do some things to steal chickens and dogs, and some people openly tease Dong Zhuo to keep those beautiful girls in Yiwu City, in order to rectify and manage these Luoyang old army, Fan Chou has not slept peacefully for many days,

The rain poured outside, and the defenders in the city were much more honest, and they stayed in their barracks, or slept with their heads covered, or gathered to gamble money, but also saved Fan Chou a lot of worries, who expected that in the afternoon, there was a faint sound of shouting and killing in the distance, although the "booming" rain did not understand under the cover, but Fan Chou did not dare to take it lightly, and quickly sent his cronies to investigate in the rain,

After learning that it was Dong Zhuo and Beigong Boyu and Liu Bao who were fighting ten miles outside the city, Fan Chou made a difficult decision and did not move, he knew very well that these soldiers under his command could be regarded as a good hand if they were asked to charge into battle, it would really be a little difficult for them.

However, he didn't move but didn't stop others from moving, the shouting and killing was still getting closer and closer, and as the rain decreased, it became clearer and clearer, until dusk, when the sky began to brighten, the shouting and killing outside the city suddenly disappeared, and Fan Chou knew that the battle there was over,

After the first batch of outposts returned, Fan Chou did not continue to send spies, so he didn't know who won and who lost in this battle, Fan Chou's heart was actually very conflicted, as Dong Zhuo's right-hand man, it stands to reason that he should hope that it was Dong Zhuo who would win, but Fan Chou does have a little hope now that it is Beigong Boyu and Liu Bao who finally appear under the city of Yiwu,

Fan Chou knows Dong Zhuo's surname very well, if he knows that Dong Zhuo is fighting fiercely with Beigong Boyu and Liu Bao, and the news of not sending reinforcements reaches Dong Zhuo's ears, there is only one end for him, that is, to die, and he will die ugly, which is also the main reason why Fan Chou did not continue to send outposts, his current approach is a bit like covering his ears and stealing the bell, trying his best to hide the fact that he knows that they are fighting outside the city, and even the first few spies sent out have been quietly solved by Fan Chou, He even regretted that he couldn't wait to send out a sentry after hearing the shouts of killing.

There is no longer a little shouting and killing outside the city, but Fan Chou's heart is in his throat, he is anxiously walking around the city, and from time to time looking in the direction of the shouting and killing sound, the more at this time, Fan Chou is more and more nervous, he has begun to look forward to the appearance of Beigong Boyu and Liu Bao under the city, the big deal is that the city gate will be opened wide at that time, and they will be welcomed in, maybe these two people will be happy, and they will reward a part of the gold and silver beauties in the city to themselves,

The tranquility outside the city was soon broken, and the sound of neat footsteps came one by one, as if someone was holding a small mallet beating Fan Chou's heart, he felt that he was about to suffocate, far away, he could already see the banner waving in the wind, the big "Han" character in the middle looked particularly eye-catching in Fan Chou's eyes, Fan Chou's heart was tight, could it be that Dong Zhuo had won,

Fan Chou was thinking about how to explain to Dong Zhuo in his heart, and when he looked up, the black pressure of people and horses swept in the distance, under the trampling of his combat boots, the water splashed, and he could vaguely hear the sound of wailing.
