Xinzheng City, the former plain and stable, after the princes and allies entered the city, began to annihilate, when Gongsun Chan rushed back, what he saw was burning and looting, and what was in his ears was crying and despair, under the dim night, the fire was soaring to the sky, just looking at this group of soldiers wearing allied armor, Gongsun Chan hesitated.

In the past, although Xinzheng is not a big city, there are also 10,000 people in the city, the end of the Han Dynasty natural disasters and military disasters continued, and when Dong Zhuo led the troops to station, there were only more than 20,000 people left in the city, and then Dong Zhuo in order to resist the princes, he ordered the surrounding more than 30,000 people to move into the city, when he led the troops to retreat, did not want to leave their hometowns and chose to stay behind the people, almost half, for this Dong Zhuo did not force it, and now, the princes quietly connived, suddenly became a disaster for the people in the city.

In the face of such a scene, Gongsun Chan was a little anxious for a while, and originally wanted to immediately find Yuan Shao to report the news, and his body was depressed and looked for a place to station the army, closed the door and no longer walked out, simply came out of sight, Gongsun Chan at this time was just a northerner man with some blood, the original intention of joining the army, and with a trace of purity to protect the family and defend the country, in this era of the decline of the Han family and the fall of imperial power, Gongsun Chan is definitely admired by countless people with a righteous heart in their chests, Zhao Yun abandoned Yuan and voted for Gongsun later, which can fully reflect this, but now, what the army he is doing in his heart is hurting nature and destroying humanity, but he can't and dare not come forward to stop it, and the pain in Gongsun Zhan's heart can be imagined.

Gongsun Zhan was in pain, and Dong Zhuo was not feeling better. Looking at Dong Han and Dong Yong, who were in rags and covered in injuries in front of him, struggling to kneel on the ground, Dong Zhuo only felt dizzy, and the news brought by the two was like a thunderbolt, which exploded in his ears.

Because of the loss of horses, Dong Han and others, who were more than half closer to the tiger prison than Gongsun Chan and Xinzheng, actually returned to the city at the same time as Gongsun Chan and his party, but Dong Han and them were hundreds of people, but they were much more embarrassed, and it was not easy to walk in the woods.

Two thousand flying bears, if used properly on the battlefield, can match the enemy of 20,000, and now under the first battle, there are more than seven out of ten, this is undoubtedly a piece of meat in Dong Zhuo's heart, you know, even under Dong Zhuo's account, the Flying Bear Army, which really belongs to the elite of a hundred battles, is only worthy of only 8,000 people, and the loss of 1,500 people is really broken, since the start of the war, he Dong Zhuo has never suffered such a big loss, even if it is the 50,000 soldiers who Li Zhuo lost in the battle, it has never made Dong Zhuo frown.

"Okay, let's go rest first, take care of your injuries, and leave the rest to me." With a wave of his hand, Dong Zhuoqiang suppressed the fire qi in his heart.

"No." A few people responded, got up and retreated, their shoulders trembling slightly, showing that several people were not calm in their hearts.

Watching a few people walk away, Dong Zhuo's face suddenly turned pale, and he slapped the table hard: "Damn, I underestimated them, I didn't expect Gongsun Chan to come so quickly, but he was ambushed by him a day late, and he knew that he would have left more soldiers at the beginning." ”

"Lord, misjudgment, this is all a mistake, please punish the lord." When Dong Han came back, Dong Zhuo, who had rested for a while, was holding a banquet in the house, and the main figures and generals in the army were basically there.

"Wenhe, you know I didn't mean that." Dong Zhuo was stunned, and then laughed bitterly.

"My lord, the strategy set before has been basically realized now, and the road ahead is whether to fight or retreat, and it still needs to be decided by the lord." With a light cough, Guo Jia suddenly spoke up, interrupting the dispute between the two, Jia Xu's plea is just a gesture of self-preservation, Dong Zhuo smiled bitterly, Guo Jia can also understand the meaning, but these are not what he wants to see.

"War? Or retreat? Dong Zhuo listened, couldn't help but hesitate, the development of the battle situation was too unexpected for him, the final outcome of the battle, he would not necessarily lose, retreat, give up the current good situation, it was really a pity, Guo Jia's inquiry, pointed to the crux of the problem, silent for a moment, Dong Zhuo looked at Guo Jia with a somewhat tangled expression: "Feng Xiao thinks, what should I do?" ”

"The choice is different, and there will naturally be two endings." Hearing Dong Zhuo's inquiry, Guo Jia suddenly smiled: "War, relying on the majestic and majestic Tiger Pass, as long as the soldiers can be replenished in time, there is no shortage of food and grass equipment, even if it is a million enemy troops, Jia is confident that he can defend for a long time, but in this way, the arrangement made by the lord before is useless." ”

Speaking of this, Guo Jia paused slightly, and then continued: "Retreat, let Luoyang out, let the Son of Heaven out, rely on Yongliang as the base, concentrate on development, just so, it takes a lot of time, and the battle in the world is impermanent, no one can be sure what will happen tomorrow, and it is unknown whether such an advantage will appear again." Of course, whether to fight or retreat, each has its own advantages and disadvantages, and the final result depends on how the lord chooses. ”

Dong Zhuo was silent and speechless for a long time.

In the room, the people who were still immersed in the tragic situation of Dong Han and others were quite puzzled, how could they say it like this? A group of generals, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what to say, and the atmosphere in the room has become more and more dull.

Guo Jia is right, now the strength of the princes is a little weak, and he himself occupies an absolute advantage, and it is not impossible to concentrate all his strength to bring the princes' alliance to the end, such a good situation, maybe in the future, it will be difficult to appear again, but there is one point, he needs time to gather a large army. On the other hand, he was worried that his enemies were not only these princes who had been blocked out of the pass, and even if he could catch them all, he could not guarantee that no one else would appear in the future.

Thinking about it, Dong Zhuo's mind turned faster.

In the war, it is always fickle, if the war situation is unfavorable, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others fled for their lives, he is not sure in his heart, he will be able to eliminate more than ten princes, the power of the family is too strong, the entire Eastern Han Dynasty, is spent in the mutual control of eunuchs and relatives, as long as he dares to rebel blatantly, it will inevitably lead all the people in the world to attack, and then how should he resist?

Now that his family has become bigger, it only depends on the ambition and long-term operation that far exceed ordinary people, once the family has a mind, his power will soon be caught up and surpassed by others. Thinking of this, Dong Zhuo couldn't help but have some understanding in his heart, and suddenly understood that he was really a little too complacent in the streak of victories during this time.
