I have to say that when Jia Xu looked at the problem, he did think about things more thoughtfully than Dong Zhuo, just as Jia Xu said, the continuous fighting, so that the original 100,000 defenders in the city now plus the wounded are only more than 30,000 capable soldiers, once the allied reinforcements arrive, they are really not enough to see.

"Then let's withdraw our troops." After pondering for a long time, Dong Zhuo finally made a decision, although the ending was not 100% satisfactory to him, he still understood the simple trade-offs.

"The lord is wise." When Jia Xu heard this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl slightly, and he bowed to Dong Zhuo.

Since the decision has been made, Dong Zhuo is not a forward-looking character, so he immediately asked people to tighten the monitoring of the direction of Yangqiao, and then immediately ordered a part of the soldiers to be divided into Li Feng as the commander, and escorted the soldiers who were injured in the previous war and the people who had gathered again in the city to prepare to migrate.

"Wenhe, what do you think of this arrangement?" After a long time, Dong Zhuo quieted down again, looked at Jia Xu who was sitting on the side, and couldn't help scratching his head.

"Great goodness." Nodding, Jia Xu suddenly grinned.

It wasn't until late that the two finished talking about other things one by one, and Dong Zhuo got up and personally sent Jia Xuli out.

"Zhongkang, you let people make more straw men, and we can use them when we leave after tomorrow, pay attention to confidentiality." After sitting for a long time, Dong Zhuocai remembered some other things, and whispered to Xu Chu beside him.

"No." Xu Chu nodded and responded, regardless of the night, and strode away.

"Huh? What's missing? With his eyes closed, Dong Zhuo's head still didn't stop, he had already made a decision, he didn't plan to delay any longer, at most a day after the wounded soldiers set off, the army would also set off, but Dong Zhuo still felt as if he had forgotten something, and thought hard.

The night was dark, Dong Zhuo was worried about the future retreat, and he didn't feel sleepy, on the other hand, Yuan Shao and the others were also worried about the future, and they didn't feel sleepy.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now that we are defeated, our army is already insufficient, and the matter of begging Dong has become a laughing stock, how should we face the world?" Yuan Shao's face was very bad, since the defeat that night, he had not had a good rest for several days, it was not that he couldn't bear the defeat, but his face-saving temperament, so that he couldn't explain to the world at all, as he said, he had regarded failure as a laughing stock.

"Now we only have more than 20,000 remnants left, and it is impossible to capture Xinzheng, so it seems that we can only wait for reinforcements." Even Qiao Mao, who was bent on stammering Yuan Shao, knew at this time that they were gone, and it was difficult to do anything more, and the kind of indispensability in the past had been put away, and he lowered his head and said very dejectedly.

"I have asked people to send a letter to Yang Qiao, I believe that at this time they are already on the way back to the army, the army will march, it will take a few days, now we still think about how to defend it, don't help the reinforcements have not arrived, our camp will be breached again." Yuan Shu had never looked at Yuan Shao pleasing to the eye, and as soon as he opened his mouth at this time, his words were full of thick mockery.

"Alliance leader, Sun Wentai has few troops in Bishui Pass, and it is difficult to make meritorious contributions, why don't the alliance leaders transfer them back and concentrate all our troops, or we can break the current predicament." After pondering for a long time, Cao Cao suddenly said, among all the people, he is the only one who has the most brains, and he is also the one who wants to defeat Dong Zhuo and restore the Han Dynasty.

Yuan Shao listened to it silently, Sun Jian's hard battle under the Bishui Pass, not only him, but even the other princes were very clear about it, but the battlefield on the side of Xinzheng City has not progressed, and none of them are willing to open their mouths to help Sun Jian, and the matter has been delayed until now, who would have thought that they would eventually be forced to become like this.

"Okay, send someone to set off early tomorrow morning, let Sun Jian immediately bring the troops over, and as for Bishui Pass, let it go first." In the end, Yuan Shao still spoke, his voice was full of bitterness, Sun Jian can also be regarded as Yuan Shu's subordinate, he seems to be able to see Yuan Shu's triumphant posture after Sun Jian's return.

"If it really doesn't work, let's go back to various places and continue to recruit soldiers, as long as there is enough time, with our strength, how can we have more soldiers than Dong Zhuo can recruit, I don't believe it, can a Dong Zhuo still pull up an army of millions?" On the side, Yuan Yi, who had been silent and did not speak, spoke.

Yuan Yi's words suddenly made the big tent even quieter.

Return? Re-recruitment? After the defeat of the war, no one thought about such a thing, but no one has ever raised it directly like Yuan Yi, but can they just go back like this? Dong Zhuo acted unscrupulously before, offended too many people, and the first time he asked Dong, it can be said that there are many followers, but now, after seeing Dong Zhuo's strength, can everyone work together to form an alliance again? The answer is obviously no, not to mention others, even Yuan Shao himself was a little deflated at this time.

"Okay, don't mention the matter of retreating for the time being, now we have only lost once, it doesn't mean that we don't have the strength to fight, let's wait for everyone to gather first, what we should do at present is to guard the camp well." Waving his hand, before the others could answer, Yuan Shao took over the topic.

When they heard this, they all sighed and said no more.

"Perhaps, Dong Zhuo didn't want to pursue us at all, have you ever thought about what would have happened to us if Dong Zhuo had been chasing after us when we were attacked in the camp before?" After a moment of silence, Cao Cao seemed to remember something, and suddenly raised his head and said.

"yes, why didn't we think of that?" Cao Cao's words suddenly woke up a few people who had fallen into the haze, it has been two days since the defeat, if Dong Zhuo wants to fight again, that night is obviously the best time, and when they set up camp again later, it is also a good opportunity, but Dong Zhuo has been holding his troops still, so there is only one way left: Dong Zhuo didn't think about attacking them again.

Thinking about this, everyone's mood suddenly improved a lot, and they suddenly felt a little unable to stay up at night, and they quit and retreated.

That night, Li Feng led people out of the city first, looking at the direction of the tiger prison and slowly leaving, because of the previous big victory, there were no allied spies around Xinzheng for a long time, and although the movement was large, almost no one noticed. The next day, it was still calm and waveless, until late that night, Dong Zhuocai led the army out of the city one after another, looking at the Tiger Prison Pass and slowly returning.

Until this time, only two thousand elite cavalry were left in Xinzheng City as the queen of the palace, and the city was full of a row of strong men who were forcibly captured and wore Dong Zhuojun's armor, and behind them, it was Dong Zhuo's straw man who had already been tied, and he was also put on armor as Dong Zhuo's sergeant, and after that, it was two thousand elite cavalry who pressed the formation behind, and they wanted to buy time for Dong Zhuojun's return.

Everything was going on in an orderly manner, and Yuan Shao and the others, who were huddled in the new camp, were unaware of this.
