As the sun sets, corpses are strewn across the field. No one paid attention to these soldiers who died on the battlefield. Wow wow! A few crows chirped in the distance, echoing in the sky.

Dong Zhuo said with a depressed face: "It's so hateful! I was actually defeated by the Kanto rats! The generals also looked dejected.

Li Ru frowned and said: "The Kwantung princes have many generals, and our army is less than half of it!" It's hard to beat! Glancing at Lu Bu, who was standing on the opposite side as if thinking about something, "Although Fengxian is brave and invincible!" However, the brave generals of the other side today are not inferior to Feng Xian! Shaking his head and sighing, he said: "There is a huge difference in the strength of the enemy and us, and the grain and grass of our army cannot last!" I'm afraid this tiger prison can't be held! ”

Dong Zhuo asked worriedly, "What should I do?" If the Tiger Prison Pass is lost, won't Luoyang be unable to hold it? ”

Li Ru pondered for a moment, hugged his fist at Dong Zhuo and said: "Enxiang, for the sake of today's plan, I can only give up Luoyang and retreat to Chang'an." Shaanxi is a land of four stops, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and close to the west, according to the base of the Kwantung princes and far away! The Kwantung princes simply can't afford to invade the west! In the future, when the Central Plains changes, Grace will send a strong team to the east again, and the great cause can be accomplished! ”

Dong Zhuo stroked his palms with great joy, "This plan is wonderful!" That's it! Glancing at everyone, "Pass the order, and the army will return to Luoyang on the same day!" ”

"No." Everyone clenched their fists and promised.

Zhang Lang took Zhang Liao Gaoshun back to his residence, Xiaowei saw him, was overjoyed, and hurriedly trotted up to greet him, and saluted, "General, are you back?" ”

Zhang Lang nodded. Go straight to the top of the hall and take a seat. Zhang Liao and Gao Shun are separated on the left and right.

Xiaowei brought the tea, and then quietly retreated.

Zhang Lang said to the two: "Don't stand, sit down." ”

The two of them hugged their fists and sat down.

Zhang Lang asked Zhang Liao: "Wenyuan, how many casualties did our army suffer today?" Zhang Liao's expression was gloomy, and he hugged his fists and said: "General Hui, our army has lost nearly half of it today!" ”

Zhang Lang was taken aback, "So many?!" Zhang Liao nodded and explained: "Since our army is fighting the enemy head-on, the casualties are the greatest!" Zhang Lang frowned, "What about the casualties of the Xiliang Army?" Zhang Liao thought for a while, "It's only two or three thousand." Zhang Lang hated so much that he couldn't help but scold: "Holy shit! Use Lao Tzu as a gunman! Zhang Liao and Gao Shun couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and exchanged a surprised look, they felt that the general seemed to be very different from the past!

Zhang Lang glanced at Zhang Liao, "How many soldiers are there in me?" ”

"More than 23,000, of which more than 1,000 are useless!"

"Wen Yuan, you will go to the prime minister to ask for a pension later!"

Zhang Liao Gaoshun looked at Zhang Lang stupidly. Zhang Lang asked puzzledly, "What's wrong?" What are you looking at me like that? Gao Shun hugged his fists and said, "Did the general forget?" There has never been a so-called pension! We are like that, and so are the Kwantung princes! ”

Zhang Lang was stunned for a while, then frowned and said, "How can this work?" When soldiers lose their lives on the battlefield, they have to take care of their orphans and widows! How can you ignore it? ”

Zhang Liao and Gao Shun are even more stupid, they never knew that their generals were so humane!

Zhang Lang looked at Zhang Liao and asked in a deep voice, "Is there no one to collect the bodies of the brothers who died in battle?" Zhang Liao nodded.

Zhang Lang was annoyed, "Bastard! Zhang Liao and Gao Shun were terrified.

Zhang Lang stood up, and Zhang Liao and Gao Shun hurriedly stood up as well. "Wen Yuan, you go with me to see the prime minister." "Yes." "Gao Shun, you immediately take people out of the customs to collect the bodies of the brothers, and after cremation, they are packed separately. They are all brothers in life and death, and they can't be allowed to be in the wilderness! Zhang Liao Gao Shun's heart trembled, and Gao Shun hugged his fists and promised.

……

The crescent moon had already hung up on the treetops, and the soldiers on the tower of the city gate could not help but wonder when they saw a group of thousands of soldiers and horses with hundreds of carriages leaving the city. Then they were amazed to see them rummaging through the corpse-strewn battlefield and loading the corpses of their own. One soldier asked his companion in confusion, "What are they doing?" The companion said: "I heard that it was General Lu Bu who asked for the burial of all the brothers who died in battle!" Hearing this, the soldiers were puzzled, and one veteran asked, "Why is that?" The soldier said, "General Lu Bu said, 'They are all brothers in life and death, and they can't be allowed to be in the wilderness!'" The hearts of all the soldiers were touched violently.

Zhang Lang took Zhang Liao to Dong Zhuo's camp. Dong Zhuo, who was hugging two delicate singers and preparing to go to bed, heard the report and thought that something big had happened, so he hurriedly put on a brocade robe and came out.

Seeing Zhang Lang and Zhang Liao standing under the hall, he hurriedly asked, "Fengxian, what happened?" ”

Zhang Lang moved Dong Zhuo to clench his fists, "Prime Minister, in today's battle, many of my soldiers have been killed, and I hope that the Prime Minister can give me a sum of money as a pension." ”

Dong Zhuodeng was annoyed, "Feng Xian! You're going to come to see me all night for such a trivial matter? "A trifle? Zhang Lang frowned, suppressed his anger, and clenched his fists and pleaded: "I hope the prime minister can agree!" ”

Dong Zhuo said angrily: "This person is dead!" What am I spending that money for? It's useless! He glanced at Zhang Lang and said with a strange expression: "Fengxian, what's going on with you today?" Actually pestering me for those dead creeps? You're not usually like that! ”

Zhang Lang continued to plead.

Li Ru, who was standing on the side, looked at Zhang Lang, smiled clearly, came out and hugged his fists and said, "Enxiang, I will agree to Feng Xian." Dong Zhuo was stunned for a moment, and said unhappily: "Why do you say that?" ”

Li Ru walked to Dong Zhuo's side and said in his ear: "Enxiang, I think Feng Xian is because you didn't give a reward after today's battle, so you changed the law to ask for a reward!" Dong Zhuo suddenly realized. Li Ru stepped aside. Dong Zhuo stood up, moved Roshan to Zhang Lang, helped Zhang Lang, and said with a smile: "Since Feng Xian has spoken, this matter is easy to do!" ”

……

Gao Shun's action of leading the soldiers and horses to collect the corpses inevitably attracted the attention of the princes, and the princes' armies immediately became vigilant.

The princes rode their horses to the front of the village and looked down at the pass. Because the sky was dark, I saw the figure longingly, but I couldn't see it really. Gongsun Zhan asked Cao Cao, "Brother Meng De, what are they doing?" Cao Cao frowned, "Those people must be suspicious soldiers who want to lure us over." If my guess is correct, there must be an ambush around us at this moment, and as long as we send troops, we will inevitably fall into their trap! Glancing at the crowd, "We should stand still!" The crowd nodded approvingly.

Gao Shun and the others were busy until the second half of the night before returning to the city. In the second half of the night, the fire was lit up after the Tiger Prison was closed. The princes were so worried that they didn't sleep well all night.
