Li Ru knew very well what would be the result of killing the vanguard general in this kind of encounter of several thousand people.

They were defeated.

Without the command of the main general, the army's combat strength cannot be condensed into a rope, and if it continues to fight, it will only lose even worse, so Dong Zhuo can't be allowed to go into battle in person, right?

In case the lord of his own family is also killed, it will be more than worth the loss.

Maybe Dou will be a bad decision.

Dong Zhuo had always obeyed Li Ruyan before, but this time he hesitated.

"In this way, wouldn't Luoyang and the Yulin Army be handed over?"

Li Ru smiled confidently: "Don't worry, my lord, even if Liu Bei is allowed to get Luoyang first, he will never dare to call the Yulin Army easily." ”

"Why?"

"It's not easy to let the army return to the heart, as far as I know, now that He Jin and Jian Shuo are dead, the Yulin Army and the Bingzhou Army will not be so easy to integrate."

Dong Zhuo suddenly realized that he was also the one who led the troops, and naturally knew that it was difficult for a new force that had just joined to quickly integrate into the main force.

Because no matter where you put it, you have to worry about his mutiny, and if there is an accident, the tide of the battle will be reversed in an instant.

Previously, both sides were fighting for the position of the Yulin Army, but now Liu Bei's side calculated He Jin and Jian Shuo to death, which is equivalent to lifting the table.

In other words, in the end, it was the Bingzhou Army and the Xiliang Army that decided the victory, and the winner was eligible to enjoy the fruit.

Li Ru looked up into the distance, and Guo Jia in the distance was also looking at the night.

The two were far away, and they were separated by the thick night, but they both seemed to feel each other's presence.

Guo Fengxiao, is that you?

Li Ru deduced from the various changes in Luoyang City that this was Guo Jia's method, because Liu Bei was the only one under his command who liked to go off the rails.

Dong Zhuo said in a deep voice: "Pass my general order and slowly withdraw from the army." ”

Although the Xiliang Army was at a disadvantage because of Hua Xiong's death, Dong Zhuo was still there, and he would not be defeated, and after paying a certain amount of casualties, he slowly withdrew from the battlefield.

"General, the Xiliang army has retreated, do you want to take advantage of the victory to chase and kill?"

Guan Yu's subordinate Song Xian noticed that the Xiliang army was beginning to withdraw, so he stepped forward to ask.

Guan Yu groaned: "Chase, but don't be reckless, so as not to be ambushed." ”

The Xiliang army is very strong, and the combat strength of the two sides is almost equal, if it is not for him to kill the enemy general, this victory is unpredictable. Although the enemy has now retreated, it has not yet reached the point of being defeated.

If you rush to pursue, not only will you not be able to eat this army, but you will be easily surrounded by the Xiliang army that is coming from behind.

He only needed to drive the other party out of the range of dozens of miles from the capital division and maintain this victory.

Guan Yu looked at Zhao Yun: "What does Zilong think?" ”

Zhao Yun nodded: "Good!" ”

The white clothes are stained with blood, and the demeanor is still the same.

Xiliangjun is indeed different from all the opponents he has faced in the past, this is a hard bone to gnaw, and it is easy to bite his teeth if he is too anxious.

After several hours of fighting, the Xiliang army suffered nearly 800 casualties, and the Bingzhou army also paid more than 500 casualties, which can only be said to be a small victory.

——

"Your Majesty's whereabouts have been found, it's just ...... The Xiliang Army and the Bingzhou Army have arrived, and the two sides have fought in the Beibi Mountain, and most of them have already divided the victory and defeat at this time. ”

At this time, it was almost early in the morning, but Yuan Shao and his henchmen stayed awake all night, and Xu You informed him of the news he had received.

He hesitated for a moment, and then added: "According to the defeated soldiers, the two generals Yan Liangwen and Chou have both been beheaded by Guan Yu and Zhao Yun. ”

When Yuan Shao heard this, his blood immediately surged, and his silver teeth clenched.

"Really?"

If it was before, when he heard the news, he would decisively decide that this was a fallacy to confuse the public, I have a general, Yan Liangwen is ugly, and he is invincible in the world.

But after witnessing the white-robed young general forcing Wen Chou to a loss, he changed his mind. Yan Liangwen's martial arts are certainly first-class, but he is not the top general.

It's not that they're not strong enough, it's that there are people outside of people, and there are heavens outside of the sky.

"I don't dare to make conclusions easily." Xu You saw his reaction, although he thought that Yan Liangwen had indeed died in battle, but he didn't dare to say it to death.

Yuan Shao exhaled heavily.

"I don't dare to lie if I think about it, if Yan Liangwen hadn't died in battle, he wouldn't have returned so far."

Guo Tu secretly sighed, there are so many fierce generals under Liu Bei, and the rise of the other party is unbelievable. If Dong Zhuo can be defeated in the battle for Luoyang, Liu Bei will deserve to be the first prince in the world.

Brother, you're right.

After a long silence, after calming down, Yuan Shao asked, "According to the two of you, where should we go next?" ”

The two glanced at each other and said in unison, "Leave Jingshi." ”

This time, the two unexpectedly agreed. They are all very aware of a problem, what Yuan Shao lacks most now is a piece of land. Only when he has the territory can he recruit troops and join the big chess in the world.

Luoyang could not become Yuan Shao's territory, because he only had 3,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, and the fame of the fourth and third dukes obviously could not help him subdue the other Yulin army.

Even if they are reluctantly accepted, most of the others are also harboring their own ghosts, and they may be at risk of defecting at any time.

Yuan Shao saw that it was rare for the two to agree, and he suddenly had the idea of letting go, but he sighed: "It's just that I just gave up Jingshi like this, and I always feel a little unwilling in my heart." ”

Xu Yu Zhengse said: "It is meaningless for the lord to stay in Beijing, it is better to withdraw as soon as possible and find a place to settle down." ”

Guo Tu also nodded: "I agree with Brother Ziyuan's opinion." ”

Yuan Shao suddenly smiled and said: "It's strange to say, Meng De came to a letter a few days ago, instigating me to take advantage of the chaos to absorb the Yulin Army, claiming that he would respect me and send troops to help." ”

Xu You said without hesitation when he heard this: "Cao Ah has bad intentions, and the lord must not be gullible." He himself recruited troops and horses in Chenliu to increase his strength, but he let the lord put himself in danger, and his heart could be punished. ”

It is true that Yuan Shao has thousands of soldiers and horses in the Beijing Division, and he can lock the city gate to prevent the Bingzhou army and the Xiliang army from entering, but this is only temporary.

Once the armies of both sides arrive, they will not last long, but will be hated by both sides, and their lives will be in danger.

Generally speaking, Cao Cao wanted to use Yuan Shao to disgust Liu Bei and Dong Zhuo, at the cost that Yuan Shao might be killed by the two.

Yuan Shao scolded with a smile: "This Cao Apu is still as treacherous as ever. ”

Then he straightened his face and looked at the two of them.

"Who of the two would like to send an envoy to seek the position of Bohai Taishou for me?"

They had already reached an agreement in advance that they would choose the Bohai Sea as a springboard and then plan for Jizhou.

As for the object of the envoy, it depends on which side of Liu Bei or Dong Zhuo can win. Whoever is in the hands of the Son of Heaven, they negotiate with whomever they want.

Presumably, the two of them would also be happy to see him leave the Jingshi, and if they didn't agree, they would simply cause them some trouble.

"I'm going to make a wish."

Guo Tu stepped forward, Xu You was silent, obviously the two had reached a wordless tacit understanding.
