Luoyang.
Prime Minister's Mansion.
When the news of Hwa Xiong's death spread, Dong Zhuo was instantly shocked.
Thus, he hurriedly called Li Ru over and said,"
"Wenyou, now that Hwa Xiong has been killed, I don't think we can hold on anymore. What should we do next?"
Li Ru had obviously received this news as well. He said without the slightest hesitation,
"Father-in-law, we need to personally go to Tiger Prison now. Only when his father-in-law personally led the army would the soldiers have more morale.”
"What? A personal expedition... Is there any other way?”
Dong Zhuo's face turned bitter as he spoke unwillingly.
As the saying goes,"It's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it's difficult to go from extravagance to frugality."
After all, after witnessing the prosperity of Luoyang, Dong Zhuo had long lost the courage to roam the battlefield.
Li Ru also said helplessly,
"Father-in-law, there's no other way. We have to go. Otherwise, it'll be difficult.”
"Sigh! Alright, I'll go."
Dong Zhuo sighed helplessly and compromised.
Li Ru continued,
"Father-in-law, in case there is chaos in Luoyang when we go to Tiger Cage, and someone colludes with the eastern vassals. It was better to kill the entire Yuan family, the leader of the court officials. At that time, he would send Yuan Feng and Yuan Kui's heads to the alliance army camp. This would deal a huge blow to the alliance army.”
"Alright, let's do that! I've long been unhappy with the Yuan family. They're always going against me openly and secretly. He would take this opportunity to kill them and end everything.”
Dong Zhuo also had a cruel expression as he said ferociously.
Thus, Dong Zhuo sent thousands of Western Liang cavalry to slaughter the entire Yuan family in Luoyang.
For a time, the Yuan Clan's massacre shocked the other aristocratic families in Luoyang.
After all, no one had expected Dong Zhuo to be so bold as to annihilate the Yuan Family, the most powerful family in the world.
This move was simply pushing the aristocratic families of the world to the opposite side.
The current Dong Zhuo didn't have any leeway left.
He could only follow Wang Mang's example and walk down the path of death, becoming enemies with the aristocratic families of the world.
After slaughtering the entire Yuan Family in Luoyang, Dong Zhuo led his most elite flying bear soldiers to Tiger Cage Pass to resist the enemy.
As for the remaining tens of thousands of soldiers, they would stay in Luoyang to guard against the thieves.
……………
On the other side.
After Guan Yu killed Hua Xiong, the alliance army took the opportunity to attack Mushui Pass.
Due to the death of Hua Xiong, the morale of the entire Mushui Pass was extremely low. Facing the onslaught of hundreds of thousands of soldiers, Li Jue and Guo Si could only hold their ground for a while. After realizing that they could not hold on any longer, they abandoned the pass and fled.
Thus, the alliance army easily conquered Mushui Pass.
Later, Yuan Shao led Wang Kuang, Yuan Yi, Qiao Mao and other eight-way vassals as the vanguard to Hulao Pass first.
It could be seen from these vanguards that they were basically all people from Yuan Shao's faction.
It seemed that the attack on Mushui Pass was too simple, which made Yuan Shao feel that Dong Zhuo's army was nothing more than this, so he sent his own people to take the credit.
Unfortunately, this was destined to be futile. How could a group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals be a match for the ferocious Western Liang cavalry?
Moreover, the person leading these Western Liang cavalry was the peerless general known as the Flying General, Lu Bu, Lu Fengxian.
Although Lu Bu had been defeated by Li Cunxiao in one move, it didn't mean that any Tom, Dick, or Harry could deal with him.
Otherwise, how could the title of the number one general in the late Eastern Han fall on his head?
……………
On the other side.
Tiger Cage Pass.
When Li Jue and Guo Si's defeated army retreated to Hulao Pass, Lu Bu was surprised.
After all, in his opinion, although Li Jue and Guo Si weren't particularly brave and were only second-rate generals, they had fifty thousand Western Liang cavalry and a first-rate general, Hua Xiong. They shouldn't have been defeated so quickly.
In the end, he was defeated in just a few days?
It seemed that the eastern dukes were not as bad as they thought!
After experiencing the incident of being hung up and beaten up by Li Cunxiao in Luoyang, Lu Bu was no longer as arrogant as he was in the past.
At the very least, he knew that there were people in this world who were stronger than him.
Since someone was stronger than him, it meant that he was not invincible.
If he wasn't invincible, he naturally wouldn't have that kind of arrogance.
Thus, the current Lu Bu was less arrogant than he had been in the past, and more rational. This rationality allowed Lu Bu to learn that Li Jue and Guo Si had been defeated so quickly. His first reaction was not that Li Jue and Guo Si were weak, but that the Guandong dukes were powerful.
This was a huge change. If it was the Lu Bu from the original history, he would probably not take it seriously. He would simply think that Li Jue and Guo Si were trash. If he had gone up, he would have already beaten up those Guandong rats.
Speaking of which...
Lu Bu inquired about the reason why the Mushui Pass had fallen so quickly. When he learned that it was a red-faced man with long beard and narrow eyes who had killed Hua Xiong with a few slashes, he was instantly shocked.
One had to know that Hwa Xiong was a first-rate general, and one of the best of the best.
Even Lu Bu himself would need ten moves to defeat Hwa Xiong.
But now, a red-faced man had come and killed Hwa Xiong with a few slashes?
Lu Bu instantly felt that the waters of this world were too deep. Could it be that the alliance army had also produced a peerless general?
After his initial shock, Lu Bu gripped his Heavenly Halberd tightly, his face filled with battle intent.
That's right, it was precisely because there were so many experts in the world that it was so fascinating…
