Hearing Zhang Yu's explanation, the generals were enlightened!
When Xu Rong heard this, he was immediately speechless. After a long time, he slowly opened his mouth and said!
"I, Xu Rong, am sincerely convinced that I was defeated by General Zhang!”
At this moment, Xiahou Yuan arrived with more than a hundred cavalrymen. Everyone turned around and saw that the horses of these soldiers were tied with branches!
Upon seeing this, Xiahou Dun, Le Jin, and Xiahou Yuan, who had just returned with the army, cupped their fists at Zhang Yu!
"Mu Jun's talent is far above ours. Even if Sun Wu reincarnates, he's probably only so!”
"If Dong Zhuo knew that Mu Jun had scared off 30,000 Western Liang soldiers with just a thousand soldiers and beheaded more than 3,000 of them, would he be furious?”
"After this battle, Mu Jun, I think you won't be able to escape the title of the number one general in the world!”
Listening to everyone's teasing and admiration, Zhang Yu also understood!
After this battle, whether it was Cao Cao's relatives, his uncles, or a talented general like Le Jin, they would all be convinced by Zhang Yu!
This way, when he suggested Cao Cao to promote the path of the capable, the obstruction would be minimal!
After the battle ended, Zhang Yu ordered his men to clean up the battlefield. Then, he led the thousand soldiers back to Luoyang and stopped pursuing Dong Zhuo!
Of course, Zhang Yu only had 1,000 soldiers. He had only borrowed the strategy Zhang Fei had used to scare Cao Cao away at Changban Slope to make the Western Liang army flee in panic!
If he were to lead the army to hunt down Dong Zhuo's main force, would he really think that the hundreds of thousands of Western Liang cavalry were weak?
Unless these 1,000 people were all as brave as Zhang Yu, he would still have the courage to charge in. Otherwise, he would really be courting death!
Thus, Zhang Yu led more than a thousand soldiers to escort two thousand unarmed Western Liang soldiers back!
When they were about to reach Luoyang and were only thirty miles away, Zhang Yu encountered Cao Cao's main force. Then, both sides joined forces!
With Cao Cao's main force, Zhang Yu's pressure was naturally reduced!
With these two thousand soldiers, Cao Cao's total army would reach ten thousand!
Seeing that Zhang Yu had brought the cavalry back unscathed and captured many Western Liang soldiers, Cao Cao was overjoyed!
"Mu Jun, how was the battle?"
Faced with Cao Cao's question, Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan praised Zhang Yu to the skies before he could even speak!
"Brother, you didn't expect this. Mu Jun asked me to lead more than a hundred cavalry and leave first. Then, he tied my ponytail to a branch and said that I would wait for him to fight with the Western Liang army before charging out!”
" In the end, the dust raised by the branches made the Western Liang army think that the main force of the alliance army was coming and they fled in panic. We took the opportunity to chase after them, killing more than 3,000 Western Liang soldiers and capturing 2,000!”
Hearing such a fruitful result, Cao Cao laughed out loud!
When Cao Ren, Cao Hong, and Cao Chun heard this, they all gave him a thumbs up in admiration!
Then, Xiahou Dun said with a smile!
" That's not all. When Mujun arrived near Xingyang, he found that the dense forest was completely silent, so he concluded that there was an ambush here. That was why the Western Liang army was forced to attack!”
"Otherwise, if I, Xiahou Dun, were to lead the army, I'm afraid that these thousand-plus cavalry would have been completely annihilated in an ambush!”
When everyone praised Zhang Yu one after another, Zhang Yu shook his head helplessly!
"Alright, everyone, stop praising me. If you make me arrogant, wouldn't it be bad?”
"However, the bravery of the leading general is secondary. The most important thing is that you have a strategy. Otherwise, if the army is handed to you and you are stubborn, won't you end up with a complete annihilation?”
The generals from the Cao and Xiahou clans nodded their heads when they heard Zhang Yu's words!
Xiahou Dun even planned to go back and read more military books because of this. If he were to lead an army alone in the future, he could not make such an obvious mistake!
……
After meeting up with Cao Cao, the army rushed back to Luoyang. Looking at Luoyang City, which was still covered in flames, everyone's faces were filled with anger!
The capital city, which had been around for more than two hundred years, had been reduced to ruins just like that!
Even if Zhang Yu had Gao Shun lead 2,000 infantry to put out the fire, it was still of no help!
Luoyang City was too big, and before Dong Zhuo left, he had filled the entire city with all kinds of flammable materials!
This fire would probably not stop for a few days!
"Thief Dong, if Luoyang wants to restore its former glory, it will be impossible without ten to twenty years!”
Hearing Zhang Yu's sigh, the generals were all dissatisfied!
Cao Cao sighed helplessly.
"I originally thought that all the vassals had come to save the Han Dynasty. I didn't expect that all of them had ulterior motives and were only fighting for fame and wealth. Otherwise, the 300,000-strong army would have come to Luoyang!”
"Even if we can't trap Dong Zhuo, we can't let Luoyang City become a ruin!”
At this moment, when Gao Shun heard that Zhang Yu had returned with his army, he personally led a group of soldiers over and said to Zhang Yu and Cao Cao!
"My Lord, General, I am here under your orders to kill the remnants of Western Liang's army and put out the fire. However, the fire is too big and we are powerless!”
"I'm here to apologize!"
Zhang Yu sighed and said when he heard Gao Shun's words!
"This isn't your fault. Based on the fire in Luoyang, even if you had ten times or even a hundred times more people, it would still be useless!”
At this point, Zhang Yu thought of something and changed the topic!
"However, have you done what I told you to do?”
Hearing Zhang Yu mention this, Gao Shun's face also revealed some admiration!
"This general has obtained him and is arranging loyal and reliable soldiers to guard him!”
After receiving Gao Shun's affirmative reply, Zhang Yu also laughed out loud. Then, he immediately whispered a few words into Cao Cao's ear!
Hearing the words "Imperial Seal", Cao Cao was shocked!
Then, he immediately dismissed his subordinates and only brought the Cao generals, Le Jin, Li Dian, and Gao Shun. Under Gao Shun's lead, they headed straight for the location of the Imperial Jade Seal!
When he arrived at a dry well, Zhang Yu saw a group of soldiers surrounding the place!
Clearly, the Imperial Jade Seal was here!
Due to his trust in history, Sun Jian should have fished out the Imperial Jade Seal from a dry well and died because of it!
However, this time, Zhang Yu had intercepted him and handed him over to Cao Cao!
When Cao Cao picked up this piece of jade, which symbolized the highest authority and status, he did not have the joy of ordinary people. Instead, he looked worried!
When Zhang Yu saw this, he nodded his head. Cao Cao was indeed the future Emperor Wu of the Wei Dynasty. He knew that he would be a disaster if he obtained the jade seal, not a treasure!
It was also at this moment that Gao Shun cupped his fists towards Zhang Yu and said!
"General, we saved a palace maid from the Western Liang army. She said that she was old friends with you, so we protected her!”
