Although Yuan Shao was very unwilling.
However, after Zhao Ming's interrogation, he suppressed the displeasure in his heart and ordered his subordinates to bring 150 taels of gold, five beauties, and a Dawan horse. He rewarded them to Zhao Ming and Zhao Yun in front of all the dukes.
In order to regain his reputation, Yuan Shao still went all out.
During the Three Kingdoms period, the consumption power of one tael of gold was equivalent to about ten thousand yuan in today's society.
One hundred taels of gold was equivalent to one million yuan.
The Dawan horse was equivalent to a limited edition luxury car in today's society.
As for those beauties, they weren't too ugly in terms of looks. Instead, they were the least valuable existences in that era.
After the reward ended.
Yuan Shao and the other dukes were no longer in the mood to continue staying on the viewing platform. They all dispersed and returned to their own camps to check on their losses.
Cao Cao laughed as he returned to Cao Cao's camp. Then, he held a banquet in his tent to celebrate Zhao Yun's victory.
…Underline…
Tiger Cage Pass.
Ever since the alliance attacked Tiger Cage Pass, Xu Rong had been standing on the city wall supervising the battle.
When they saw Zhao Yun kill Hu Zhen and his horse with a single spear strike and chase after the Western Liang cavalry for several miles, their martial strength and leadership were terrifyingly high!
Xu Rong trembled.
"Such a valiant general, only General Lu Bu can match him!”
"Moreover, that white-robed general isn't the only one in the alliance!”
Xu Rong quickly wrote a letter and sent it to Luoyang, requesting reinforcements from Dong Zhuo.
At the same time, Xu Rong ordered the gates of Tiger Cage Pass to be sealed and put up a no-battle sign to avoid conflict with the alliance.
At this moment, Xu Rong understood his situation very well.
With his current military strength, he could still defend Tiger Cage Pass for a short period of time.
However, once the various dukes attacked without regard for losses, Tiger Cage Pass would definitely not be able to last a day!
If the "valiant general" who killed Hua Xiong and the white-robed general were to make a move…
The time might be even shorter!
…Underline…
Half a day later, in the evening.
Dong Zhuo, who was playing with the palace maids in Luoyang, received the battle report from Tiger Cage Pass.
Of course, because it was difficult to transmit news at night, the news of Hua Xiong's death had only reached Luoyang now.
After roughly reading the battle report, he learned that Hwa Xiong had been torn apart alive.
Dong Zhuo felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. His whole body shivered. The beautiful palace maid in his arms suddenly lost her fragrance. She immediately found her confidant, Li Ru.
"Prime Minister, although Hua Xiong is dead, we still have General Lu Bu!”
"Lu Bu's martial strength is unparalleled.”
"Luoyang will be safe and sound."
After reading the battle report, Li Ru sized up Dong Zhuo's expression and carefully analyzed it before saying.
Hearing this, Dong Zhuo agreed and sent people to summon Lu Bu and the other trusted generals into the palace.
However, when Lu Bu, Niu Fu, and Li Jue were about to enter the palace, Xu Rong's request for help was quickly delivered to Dong Zhuo.
"Why does this thief Yuan have a white-robed general under him?”
"Who is this? Why have I never heard of him before?”
"My son, Tiger Cage Pass is in danger. What should we do?”
When Dong Zhuo saw Xu Rong's request for help and saw the alliance army being crushed, he was extremely happy.
However, when he saw the white-robed general kill General Hu Zhen with just one move!
Dong Zhuo instantly fell back into hell and said anxiously to Lu Bu.
"Don't worry, foster father."
"Bu only needs to lead 100,000 cavalry to Tiger Cage Pass and we can instantly repel the enemy.”
"Just two fierce generals, I can kill them with a flip of my hand!”
After killing Ding Yuan, Lu Bu still had 50,000 Bingzhou Cavalry under him.
Compared to the 200,000 soldiers of the alliance, this amount of soldiers was still too little.
Thus, Lu Bu had said that he could repel the enemy with 100,000 cavalry.
Dong Zhuo frowned and thought for a moment. In the end, he agreed to give Lu Bu an additional 50,000 Western Liang cavalry.
Lu Bu was naturally delighted to receive the order. He gathered 100,000 soldiers and prepared to reinforce Tiger Cage Pass the next day.
However, when Lu Bu and the others were about to leave the palace, Dong Zhuo secretly went to find Li Ru.
Dong Zhuo was suspicious, and Li Ru naturally understood this.
Especially after Lu Bu betrayed Ding Yuan and defected to Dong Zhuo, he hadn't experienced any other trials.
Now that Lu Bu had one hundred thousand cavalry, Dong Zhuo was still worried.
"Lord Prime Minister."
"Although Lu Bu is strong, he is brave but not resourceful.”
" However, the Eighteen Vassals have the advantage in numbers, and there aren't many valiant generals. If Lu Bu is defeated…"
"Minister, why don't you make plans early?”
Naturally, Li Ru did not say that Lu Bu had rebelled. He only mentioned the possibility of Lu Bu's defeat.
Dong Zhuo's heart skipped a beat.
Dong Zhuo knew very well how strong Hua Xiong was as Western Liang's number one valiant general.
But now, Hwa Xiong had been torn apart by Ren Huo…
What if Lu Bu couldn't defeat such a powerful general?
"What should we do?" Dong Zhuo asked.
"Move the capital to Chang 'an!" Li Ru said in a deep voice.
Dong Zhuo's eyes widened into two round balls.
After pondering for a long time, Dong Zhuo still couldn't make up his mind. After all, moving the capital was no small matter!
Moreover, Chang 'an City, which had many things to do, was not as good as Luoyang!
Underline…
Good night, dear readers!
