Xiliang soldiers and horses have been in battle for a long time, and their combat effectiveness is very elite, how could they be beheaded by someone just after the battle started this time, Hua Xiong, the supreme commander of the vanguard army, was beheaded, not only the morale was greatly hit, but also Hua Xiong's death caused the command to fall into chaos.

And the combined army of the princes is not only imposing, but also occupies an overwhelming advantage in terms of troops and generals, frantically slashing and slashing in the face of the panicked enemy army.

A battle was fought from noon to dusk, and only more than 20,000 remnants of the Xiliang army were left and fled in a hurry.

Xiao Qiuyu's clothes and armor were already covered with blood, but the Soul Shattering Scythe in his hand was still pale, no matter how much armor was torn and how many lives were harvested, the knife was never stained with half a drop of blood.

The blood beads that splashed on the Soul Shattering Scythe would slide off with the curves on the scythe, and not a drop would condense on it, not even a single color.

After returning from the victory, Xiao Qiuyu triumphantly carried Hua Xiong's head back to the big tent, he threw Hua Xiong's head directly to the ground, and said, "Fortunately, I am not dishonored!"

Yuan Shao laughed, waved his hand, and said, "Come on, give wine!"

Although Xiao Qiuyu maintained a good habit of not drinking, since it was the commander of the three armies who gave him wine, he didn't dare not give this face, so he had to raise his head and drink it.

I have to say that the ancient wine-making technology is very rude, even if it is the wine drunk by one side of the thorn history, it is much worse than the miscellaneous wine that costs more than ten yuan a bottle in modern society...... However, for a mediocre person like Xiao Qiuyu, just drink it, anyway, he can't feel any other taste except spicy.

Yuan Shao said again: "General Pan has won the banner and made great contributions to our army, and this time he will definitely be rewarded...... Come, give me a hundred taels of gold and ten pairs of white bi!"

On the earth, his business covers six continents, and he even keeps looting gold and silver treasures, calligraphy, paintings, and antiques from Zhao Ji in the other world, with his financial resources, he doesn't bend down to pick up such a small amount of money when it falls on the ground.

But since it was given by the commander, he can only be grateful!

After this great victory, the princes immediately held a grand banquet to celebrate, Xiao Qiuyu beheaded Huaxiong, which greatly boosted the morale of our army, and naturally became a great hero of this war, so people frequently toasted him......

If you don't drink it, you look down on others, and if you drink it, your own body can't stand it...... After three or four cups, he only felt dizzy and red, so he left the banquet under the pretext that he had been injured in the fierce battle and needed to rest and recuperate as soon as possible.

……

In Luoyang City, in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

At this time, it was already late at night, and Dong Zhuo suddenly summoned many of his advisers and generals to a meeting in the Prime Minister's Mansion...... These people were sleeping soundly, but they were suddenly woken up, and they naturally had some complaints in their hearts.

But after coming to the Prime Minister's Mansion, they saw Dong Zhuo's gloomy face, and they didn't know why Dong Zhuo was suddenly angry, and they didn't dare to speak, lest he vent his anger on himself.

After glancing around, Dong Zhuo snorted and said, "Half an hour ago, news just came from the front line that Hua Xiong had been beheaded, and the army under his command had also been slaughtered, and all of them retreated to the Tiger Prison Pass...... Now the Eighteenth Route has gathered outside the Tiger Prison Pass, and is planning to attack the city."

"What ......" Everyone was shocked, Hua Xiong had followed Dong Zhuo Nan to fight in the north for decades, and they were very clear how strong his force was, even the invincible Sun Jian was defeated by Hua Xiong...... I can't believe that he has already been defeated.

It is no wonder that Dong Zhuo will summon them overnight, so the military situation is indeed very urgent.

"This ...... The Tiger Prison Pass is only more than 50 miles away from Luoyang, and if the Tiger Prison Pass is breached, the traitors may send troops to Luoyang City at any time, so they must send male soldiers to support the Tiger Prison Pass as soon as possible and defend the pass to the death."

Luoyang was the capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and once the capital was breached, they were finished.

It was Li Ru, a general under Dong Zhuo, who was not good at force, but he was quite good at leading the army to fight, so he also became a general under Dong Zhuo.

"Don't worry, father" Lu Bu, who was wearing heavy armor, walked out and said, "The princes outside the gate are just a group of miscellaneous cultivators, and the ministers are willing to mention the army of tigers and wolves, behead them, and hang them in the capital gate!"

Dong Zhuo was overjoyed, and laughed: "I have Fengxian, but I can sit back and relax."

"Li Dao Guo Yan"

"The minister is here!" Two armored generals knelt on one knee.

Dong Zhuo gave the order: "The two of you lead 50,000 troops, take the first step to rush to the Tiger Prison Pass, remember to defend to the death, and don't go out of the pass to fight!" When my army arrives, we will wipe out the princes of the eighteen towns!"

The two generals said in unison: "The minister takes the order!"

……

Five days later, Dong Zhuo had already led more than 200,000 of the most elite troops of the Xiliang Army to rush to the Tiger Prison Pass, and the four major generals under his command, Lu Bu, Li Dao, Guo Yan, Xu Rong, etc., were all sent to the battlefield.

In addition to these four commanders, Dong Zhuojun also has Wei Xu, Niu Fu, Gao Shun, Li Ru, Li Su, Jia Xu, Zhao Cen, Fan Chou, Zhang Ji, Zhao Cen, Zang Ba, Zhang Liao, Lu Lingqi and countless other generals.

Among them, Zhang Liao later returned to Cao Cao, shined in Cao's camp, and was the number one general in Cao Wei's camp!

Although Zhang Liao's current position is not very high, it is purely a matter of career development, and his position and strength are completely different things...... And because Xiao Qiuyu robbed Huaxiong's head (it's really TM to rob the head.) So Guan Yu is still unknown.

In this battle, Dong Zhuo personally sat in the Tiger Prison Pass, and he did not choose to concentrate all the soldiers and horses in the Tiger Prison Pass to defend here, but ordered Li Dao, Guo Yan, Xu Rong and other three generals to pull the main force outside the pass to fight with the princes' coalition forces, and he himself only took 40,000 troops to defend the Tiger Pass.

The most powerful force of the Xiliang Army is the tens of thousands of war horses, and the cavalry can only break out enough advantages when fighting on the plain battlefield, and the cavalry is like a waste in the city defense operation.

Moreover, Dong Zhuo's plan was not to defend the Tiger Prison Pass, but to launch an attack and kill all the princes of the Eighteenth Route in one go......

The reason why he was willing to abandon his geographical advantages to fight a decisive battle in the field was because Dong Zhuo knew very well that there were not many generals brought by the princes of the Eighteenth Road, and if they relied on the city defense to conduct a war of attrition with them, they could indeed completely consume them, but in a year and a half, they would form an equally large army.

Dong Zhuo, who only had Xiliang as the foundation, could not afford it, so he could only choose to go out of the pass to face the battle, defeat the enemy in one go, capture all the princes back, and then escort him back to Luoyang to behead the public, so as to deter other people who dare to rebel.
