Chapter 269 Dong Zhuo's Defeat
More than 20 Dong Zhuo's army and 50 princes' coalition forces fought a great battle, with casualties on both sides.

Lu Bu was defeated by the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang, which lowered the morale of Dong Zhuo's army and raised the morale of the coalition forces of the princes.

Therefore, the coalition of princes belongs to the winner's side.

If it wasn't for the fact that Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Army and Bingzhou Army were both elite, they would have retreated back to Hulao Pass without causing a disastrous defeat.

Even so, Dong Zhuojun also lost the lives of [-] to [-] soldiers, with heavy casualties and even lower morale.

Although there were many casualties on the side of the allied forces of the princes, they were harmless to the 50 allied forces.

The number of troops of the coalition of princes is nearly double that of Dong Zhuo's army!
As one went up and down, Dong Zhuo already felt that he was no match for the princes.

Tang Xiu, the commander of the battalion, led five thousand soldiers and horses, all of them were Xiliang cavalry, but after this battle, there were not many casualties.

After all, he has long been famous in the allied forces of the princes. In this large-scale battle, not many princes from all walks of life dared to trouble him, not to mention his bravery, how could he be easily provoked?
Even his immediate superior, Hua Xiong, who commanded the [-] Xiliang Army, also took a lot of light, and the casualties were not heavy, unlike other Xiliang soldiers and Bingzhou soldiers who suffered heavy casualties.

But also because of this, the [-] Xiliang Army commanded by Hua Xiong was ordered to stay at Hulao Pass!
But Dong Zhuo led the rest of the army back to Luoyang, and had already made plans to move the capital.

Move the imperial capital from Luoyang to Chang'an to avoid the allied forces of the princes!
Hua Xiong commanded the [-] Xiliang Army and guarded Hulao Pass. To put it bluntly, he was left behind to delay Dong Zhuo's plan to move the capital.

This is a hard job, and one who is not good can easily lose his life.After all, the hundreds of thousands of princes' coalition forces outside the Hulao Pass are not so easy to deal with.

Hua Xiong's [-] defenders couldn't last long.

Dong Zhuo personally led the army to come, he came and went quickly, leaving only a big defeat and the lives of many soldiers.

In Hulao Guan Shuai Hall.

"The rebels of the lords are staring at me at Hulaoguan, what do you think?" Hua Xiong looked sad, Dong Zhuo left, but it was hard for him, and he was ordered to stay at Hulaoguan.

I'm afraid that his [-] remaining troops will become the achievements of the coalition forces of the princes outside the pass!

The battalion Sima, school lieutenant, army Sima, and other department Sima under Hua Xiong's command all looked gloomy.

Hua Xiong commanded a [-]-strong army, and there were ten battalion commanders, including Tang Xiu, who each commanded [-] soldiers and horses.

Under the battalion Sima, there are school lieutenants, army Sima, other department Sima, etc. who command the various ministries, who are under the jurisdiction of the battalion Sima, and each manages a thousand soldiers and horses.

Like Tang Xiu, the commander of the battalion, there are five army commanders, each commanding [-] soldiers and horses, a total of [-] soldiers and horses, obeying his orders.

Including Tang Xiu, the battalion Sima, the school lieutenant, the army Sima, the other department Sima, etc., a total of sixty or seventy senior generals gathered together, almost filling the hall of generals.

It's just that everyone has lost their minds, and they are naturally not stupid to be able to sit in the positions of battalion commander, school lieutenant, and army commander.

All the generals understand that Dong Zhuo is leaving them to die in Hulao Pass!

Seeing this, Hua Xiong also sighed, and was about to say something like "the only way is to stick to it" to boost morale, when he heard a faint voice say: "I have a plan to defeat the princes outside the pass."

Hua Xiong and all the generals were shocked, and looked in disbelief.

The person who spoke was none other than Tang Xiu.

"What's Mr. Tang's plan?" Hua Xiong hurriedly asked, although Tang Xiu was his subordinate, Hua Xiong always respected Tang Xiu very much because of Tang Xiu's bravery and his kindness to save his life.

Without waiting for Tang Xiu to speak, Hua Xiong said again: "If the rebels of the princes enter the pass, there will be great chaos in the pass, and the people will suffer. I hope you can help me!"

In Hua Xiong's eyes, Tang Xiu has always been a master of the world, maybe he can really repel the coalition forces of the princes! ?
The generals also stared at Tang Xiu with piercing eyes.

Tang Xiu chuckled lightly and said, "Fake defeat!"

……

In the camp of the allied forces of the princes.

Since the nineteen princes defeated Dong Zhuo's army, the princes of all walks of life were all in high spirits.

And the nineteen princes have become the twenty princes.

The No.20 princes are the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang who defeated Lu Bu before the battle and achieved extraordinary achievements.

If Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei hadn't defeated Lu Bu, raising the morale of the coalition forces of the princes and lowering the morale of Dong Zhuo's army, such a great victory would not have been possible.

Liu Bei is also a member of the Han family, and he is of the royal blood. After making such extraordinary achievements, Yuan Shao made him a prince along the way, but the number of soldiers and horses was a little small, only a thousand soldiers and horses.

The thousand soldiers and horses were only made up by the princes from all walks of life who gave them some people, and they could barely be regarded as princes from all walks of life.

And Wang Kuang, the prefect of Hanoi County who was defeated by Lu Bu before, also gathered the defeated soldiers, and he was still a prince along the way.

Now, the princes of the Twenty Routes are in high spirits and are preparing to discuss how to break through the Hulao Pass.

"I don't know what good strategy you have to defeat the enemy?" Yuan Shao asked aloud. As the leader of the alliance, he commanded the princes from all walks of life to defeat Dong Zhuo's army.

All the princes showed contemplation. Although Dong Zhuo was defeated, he still had 10,000+ soldiers and horses. Hulao Pass is the most powerful pass in the world, and it is not so easy to win.

Everyone has no good strategy to defeat the enemy, only strong attack!
Yuan Shao naturally understood the situation, he was just asking casually, he was about to order the storming of Hulao Pass, and then assign the princes the order of attacking Hulao Pass and so on.

Only to hear Liu Ge, the prefect of Shanggu County in Youzhou, suddenly said: "I have a plan to break through the Tiger Prison!"

The princes from all walks of life were startled and looked at Liu Ge.

Everyone was helpless and could only attack by force, but they didn't know what the prefect of Shanggu County in Youzhou had to do?
Yuan Shao asked even more, "I don't know what good strategy Liu Taishou has?"

Liu Ge smiled slightly and said, "I still have to wait for a piece of news at this moment."

"What news?" The princes asked in unison.

"Report..."

At this time, a small school under Liu Ge's command dragged a soldier of Dong Zhuo's army and walked in.

Liu Ge smiled and said, "Here comes the news!"

Yuan Shao and other princes from all walks of life looked over.

The small school under Liu Ge's command kept Dong Zhuo's soldiers on the ground and said, "The last general captured a firewood-cutter soldier in Dong Zhuo's army and found out about the news in Hulao Pass."

News from Hulao Pass?
The princes listened intently.

The Xiaoxiao said again: "Dong Zhuo has led his troops back to Luoyang, and only Hua Xiong's [-] Xiliang troops are in Hulao Pass."

There are only [-] Xiliang troops!
The princes all stared at each other, both surprised and delighted.

It's just [-] Xiliang defenders. For their hundreds of thousands of princes' coalition forces, wouldn't they be wiped out?
