Although all the reinforcements of Hu Zhen were wiped out in this battle, Wen Chou and Sun Jian's soldiers also suffered a lot of casualties, which was also the most difficult battle since the dispatch of the troops, which shows the elite degree of Dong Zhuo's army.

At the end of the battle, the new soldiers who did not participate in the battle came up to clean the battlefield, and the soldiers who participated in the battle went aside to rest.

One after another, the wounded were carefully carried down from the battlefield by the new soldiers who cleaned the battlefield and gathered in one place.

Wen Chou, Sun Jian and others inspected the wounded camp, because it was a temporary building, the camp was very simple, there was no cover on the top, and there was very little bedding on the ground, only a circle of wooden fences was set up on the periphery, in order to separate it from the outside world, there were hundreds of wounded soldiers sitting in the open air and lying on the soil, the blood flowing from the wound stained the feet red, the light ones were wounded by arrows and knives, the heavy ones had broken arms and abdomen, some of the wounded were slightly injured, or the willpower was stronger, and it was better, but in a low voice, some of the injuries were more serious, the pain was unbearable, and they let out a piercing scream, What's more, the injury was too serious, the pain was unbearable, and he hadn't passed out yet, and he couldn't wait to roll on the ground, and two or three doctors couldn't hold it down.

There were a few scribes who came to the camp with Wen Chou to inspect the camp, and when they saw this, their faces turned pale, and the excitement generated by the big victory earlier had long since disappeared.

Soon after Wen Chou, Sun Jian and others finished their inspections, they returned to the Chinese army and began to discuss the next plan and strategy.

In my opinion, our army should play a triumphant song, take advantage of the victory and advance bravely, and after a day and a half of rest, we will pull out the camp and go straight to the Yique passes. to buckle the gate of Luoyang. Wen Ba said excitedly.

Yan Liang agreed with his suggestion and said: "Dong Bing is fierce, and the general has won consecutive victories, and we have won consecutive battles, and our morale is high, so we should make persistent efforts." This is less than a hundred miles to Yique Zhuguan, and I am willing to lead the troops first to open the way for the eldest brother. ”

Wen Chou turned to ask Sun Jian: "Brother Wentai, what do you think?" ”

Although Sun Jian is a fierce eagle, he has been on the battlefield for a long time, and he has seen the fierceness of Dong Zhuo's elite soldiers with his own eyes, so he does not agree with the optimism of Yan Liang and Wenba, he said: "Although our army has won consecutive victories, it is because most of the people who have fought in battles are veterans. The new pawn was just watching from the sidelines, because he was able to compete with Dong Bing and win several times. There are 30,000 Dong troops in the Yique Zhuguan, even if they are not all elite soldiers, but they can rely on the danger of the passes, and there are more soldiers and horses than me, and I am tired of soldiers under the battle. At this time, it is not the time to attack Yique. ”

Yan Liang asked, "In the general's opinion." What should our army do now? Withdrawn? Our army won two victories in three days, annihilated nearly 10,000 enemies, and morale was high. Although Yan Liang said that because of his ugliness, he had a lot of respect for Sun Jian. But it's not cowardly.

Wen Ba also said: "Yes, morale is available, it seems inappropriate to retreat at such a time." In my opinion, with it retreating. It's better to march,

Another lieutenant of Yuzhou also proposed: "I have won a series of victories against Dong Bing, thinking that Hu Zhen must have been frightened, and it is expected that he will never dare to go out of the customs to fight with me again, that is, as the general said, our army is tired of fighting, and the soldiers are tired, but there is no risk of Hu Zhen going out of the customs, our army can go outside the pass first, and then build a camp, and then calmly recuperate." ”

Sun Jian disagreed, and felt that Yan Liang, Wenba, and others were too blindly optimistic and said, "In the past, I was in the army from the late Tai Lieutenant Zhang Gong, Han Sui, and Dong Zhuo, although the camp was not in one place, but I have also seen Hu Zhen, although this person is difficult to compare with me and Zixiao, but he is also a veteran on the battlefield, how could I not expect that our army will fight in succession, and the soldiers and horses are tired?" If our army marches into the Yique Pass now, under his successive defeats, in order to boost morale, he will inevitably send elite soldiers to counterattack, and with our soldiers in battle, and travel nearly a hundred miles, once attacked, it will be defeated,...... Don't march at this time! ”

Wen Chou first said to Yan Liang, Wen Ba and others: "What the two virtuous brothers and Captain Zhang said is good, and the morale of our army is currently high. He also said to Sun Jian, "What Brother Wentai said is also true, our army has become a tired soldier under the continuous battle, and it is not allowed to advance." Wen Chou adopted the golden mean.

Yan Liang and Wen Ba were very convinced of Wen Chou, Yan Liang said: "So, what should I do now, big brother?" Withdrawal? ”

"This time to attack Dong, not only I waited all the way, but Meng De and Ben Chu also went all the way. Now that our army has opened the road to Yique, in my opinion, there is no need to be anxious for the time being, but we can send a horse to Mengde and Benchu to see what the current situation of the two roads is, and where they have entered, and after finding out clearly, we can discuss the matter of attacking Yique. ”

When Wen Chou said this, he thought to himself: "I remember that in the original history, Meng De seemed to be unfavorable in attacking Dong and was in danger of being defeated and dying, and if he was still almost killed in battle like the original historical process, then it would be difficult for me and Ben Chu to win." ”

Yuan Shao only sent 8,000 people to Mengjin, not to mention the small number, it was still quite far from Wen Chou, Wen Chou couldn't mean that he would come to help along the way, but the only one who could count on was Cao Cao's way.

If the course of history was changed because of his own participation,—— Wen Chou vaguely remembered that in the original history, Yuan Shao did not seem to send troops to fight at all, and now although there are few, he still sent 8,000 people to fight, which should be regarded as changing the course of history a little because of his arrival, so will Cao Cao's fate in the original history also be changed a little because of this? No more defeats? If it will, Cao Cao is not defeated this time, then he has resisted Xu Rong in the area of Xingyang and Yuyuan Pass, and at the same time diverted part of the attention of Dong Zhuo, who was sitting in Luoyang, Wen Chou and Sun Jian could attack Yique and try to see if they could win, but if Cao Cao was still defeated as the original historical process, Wen Chou thought to himself: "I have no choice but to retreat immediately." ”

"There is only one way to retreat", this is not because of Wen Chou's cowardice, but because of the situation.

If Cao Cao is not defeated, he can drag Xu Rong's people on the one hand, and on the other hand, he can also distract Dong Zhuo's attention, but if he is defeated, on the one hand, Xu Rong's Dong soldiers will be vacant, and on the other hand, Dong Zhuo can no longer consider the safety of Yuyuan Pass, but can concentrate on dealing with Yuan Shao and Wen Chou.

Yuan Shao sent only 8,000 soldiers and horses, and it was on the other side of the Yellow River, so the threat to Luoyang was really not great, and Dong Zhuo would deal with Wen Chou first.

Because it is now being attacked on three sides, Wen, Cao, and Yuan have not long since the beginning of the three routes, and the battle situation on the battlefields has not yet been understood, so Dong Zhuo's elite who stayed in Luoyang has not yet been dispatched, and is waiting to see the changes, Li Dao, Guo Yan, these Dong Zhuo's cronies, do not need to say more, just say that Lu Bu, although Lu Bu's integrity is not very good, but he is a strong enemy on the battlefield, "Red Rabbit in the horse, Lu Bu in the people", he brought the state soldiers, the degree of strength is by no means under the Liangzhou soldiers, his own martial arts are even more outstanding, and there are Gao Shun, Song Xian, Wei Xu, Hao Meng, Cheng Lian, Wei Yue and other warriors are all known as strong generals, far from being comparable to Yang Ding's generations.
