The 18 cavalrymen of Yanyun had killed Wang Kuang, and the morale of Wang Kuang's defeated army was even lower.
The defeated army fled five miles, but was intercepted by Qiao Mao and Yuan Yi who came to rescue them.
Hearing that Wang Kuang was dead, Qiao Mao and Yuan Yi were terrified. Their desire to go to Tiger Cage Pass and claim credit, like Wang Kuang's, was instantly extinguished!
Wang Kuang's 20,000 soldiers had been defeated in a single clash.
Qiao Mao and Yuan Yi's forces were similar to Wang Kuang's. Although they boasted that they were stronger than Wang Kuang, Wang Kuang had been utterly defeated.
Qiao Mao and Yuan Yi didn't dare to go to Tiger Cage Pass!
Qiao Mao and Yuan Yi gathered up Wang Kuang's defeated army and retreated thirty miles away, waiting for the other five vassals to gather.
"What is it? Wang Kuang was killed?"
Bao Xin, Kong Rong, Zhang Yang, Tao Qian, and Gongsun Zan arrived one after another. They were all shocked to hear that Wang Kuang had been killed.
Eighteen vassals raised an army.
Although Sun Jian had lost, everyone knew that Sun Jian was ambushed at Mushui Pass because Yuan Shu did not give him rations.
Therefore, he had no choice.
None of the dukes really took Dong Cheng of Tiger Cage Pass seriously.
If it wasn't for Sun Jian's lack of food, Mushui Pass would have been breached long ago!
However…
Wang Kuang's death was a wake-up call for these dukes.
Dong Cheng of Tiger Cage Pass was more difficult to deal with than he had imagined!
"Fellow colleagues, what should we do now? Who will be the vanguard?"
Qiao Mao was already scared out of his wits and was unwilling to be the vanguard to go to Tiger Cage Pass no matter what.
Yuan Yi was the same.
He was a member of the Yuan Clan, and although his status in the clan was not comparable to Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, he still cherished his life very much.
Dong Cheng of Tiger Cage Pass was unusually fierce, and Wang Kuang was killed in a single exchange.
Yuan Yi did not dare to be the vanguard!
"Why must we be the vanguard? We seven dukes will go together!"
The one who spoke was Shangdang Mayor Zhang Yang.
Even though he said that, Zhang Yang's gaze was still on Tao Qian and Gongsun Zan.
Tao Qian's Danyang Soldiers had already made a name for themselves when they attacked the Yellow Turbans.
Gongsun Zan's white horse followers had even killed the Wuhuan beyond the Great Wall.
Among the seven dukes, the ones with true strength were Tao Qian and Gongsun Zan.
Zhang Yang was a bandit, he knew his place.
His subordinates could still fight with ease.
If he really wanted to be the vanguard, he would just be there to make up the numbers!
"Governor Zhang's words make sense. As long as our 200,000 troops advance, even Dong Cheng of Tiger Cage Pass will only dare to hide in the pass!”
Kong Rong twirled his beard, brimming with confidence.
He had been intelligent since young and had read hundreds of classics. He believed that he was proficient in the art of war!
Gongsun Zan did not join in the debate. Instead, he looked at the three people standing behind him.
One of them had a pair of earlobes and shoulders, hands above his knees, and a face like jade. He was Gongsun Zan's classmate and good friend, Liu Bei, who often claimed to be the descendant of King Jing of Zhongshan.
Beside Liu Bei were Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
At this moment, the three of them.
Although Yuan Shao had acknowledged his position in the alliance, he did not have any soldiers and was only temporarily under Gongsun Zan's command.
"Xuande, as you expected, Dong Cheng is indeed difficult to deal with. He defeated Wang Kuang so easily!”
Liu Bei did not show his emotions and said lightly,""Brother Bogui, X Literature Station is known as the Tiger of Jiangdong. When we were conquering the Yellow Turban, I also had dealings with X Literature Station. Just because of a lack of food, they suffered heavy casualties. This is definitely not an ordinary opponent!”
"Moreover! Cao Mengde had once said that Lu Bu was the number one general under the command of the traitor Dong, and Hua Xiong was second only to Lu Bu. However, now that Hua Xiong had returned to Luoyang and Lu Bu had gone to Xiliang, Dong Cheng had instead been given the title of Pingdong General, guarding both Hulao Pass and Mushui Pass!”
"If Dong Cheng was really incompetent, how could Thief Dong be at ease letting Dong Cheng guard two dangerous passes, Tiger Cage Pass and Mushui Pass!”
"Wang Kuang underestimated the enemy and stole the credit. He dared to go to Tiger Cage Pass with 20,000 men and was killed by Dong Cheng.”
Gongsun Zan sighed." It's a pity that these people always think that their opponents are stupid pigs. They don't know that they are actually a bunch of stupid pigs."”
Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei's conversation was very quiet, so the other six dukes did not hear it. Otherwise, there would have been another dispute.
"Xuande, that may be the case, but we seven dukes have to fight at Tiger Cage Pass. We have to rely on Xuande's two sworn brothers to kill Fang Yue's Cheng Sanfu!”
Guan Yu twirled his beautiful beard, the arrogance in his red phoenix eyes clear.
Zhang Fei was also disdainful.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had met Fang Yue before.
In Guan Yu's tone, it was like he was selling the lead.
"Brother Bo Gui, don't worry. If you need Yun Zhang and Yi De, just tell them!”
There seemed to be countless mysteries hidden in Liu Bei's deep eyes. Even his classmate and close friend Gongsun Zan could not see what Liu Bei was thinking!
The seven dukes discussed and argued for a long time.
In the end, they decided to set up camp in front of Tiger Cage Pass.
Gongsun Zan's White Horse Righteous Follower and Tao Qian's Scarlet Yang Soldiers were at the front!
