Chapter 95 Raising a Dog
"A chicken or a dog! Nothing to worry about!"

Lu Bu rode his horse behind Li Qingyuan and taunted the princes who were entrenched inside.

Normally, Lu Bu would never be willing to be inferior to others. After all, his saying "A real man is born between heaven and earth, how can he be depressed and inferior to others for long!" is considered a famous scene.

It’s just that!

Considering that Li Qingyuan promised to tailor a set of armor for him, Lu Bu felt that it would not be a big deal to even take a backseat and even worship the other party as his adoptive father.

As the saying goes, a man’s knees are made of gold, and now is the time to cash it out!

"Wen Hou, let's go back and have a drink!"

Looking at the three layers of defense line made of corpses and baggage inside and outside, and the coalition forces of princes trembling like frightened birds behind the defense line, Li Qingyuan felt that it was time to wait and see.

Just now, under his leadership, more than 10,000 elite soldiers directly broke through the coalition's defense line, not only destroying all the siege equipment that was almost completed, but also attacking several layers of tents in one breath.

Originally, Li Qingyuan considered defeating the coalition forces in one wave, but when the fight really started, he found that he was overthinking.

Although they were unstoppable at the beginning, the soldiers' speed quickly slowed down after killing two layers of tents. They only avoided collapse due to their morale.

There is no way. Although humans are known to have the strongest endurance than cattle and horses, cattle and horses also have a limit to their endurance!
Killing people sounds simple and is not difficult to do, but killing dozens of people in one breath and running thousands of meters at the same time, even the so-called elite cannot withstand such an amount of exercise.

Especially since the coalition forces had as many as 500,000 troops, and their camps alone stretched for dozens of miles. If they really planned to ride their horses and kill them all the way, even Lu Bu would not be able to withstand it.

As for one person hunting down hundreds of thousands of people?
Even Liu Ji'nu, who was known for his unbridled courage and the courage to swallow a thousand miles, could only defeat a thousand people at most!

"go!"

Lu Bu was also very happy. He had been suppressed and beaten by the princes of Guandong these days, and today he finally got his revenge.

Seeing that the army finally retreated, a group of trembling princes began to get angry.

Most of them were simply frightened. They had thought that it would be easy to capture Dong Zhuo with so many people gathered together. Although they had lost some morale at the beginning because of a few small victories by Hua Xiong and Lu Bu, after everyone set up their tents, they basically suppressed the enemy.

But now!

Looking at the devastated and destroyed vanguard camp, everyone's heart was bleeding.

You must know that the vanguard battalion is composed of the most elite troops under their respective command, otherwise they would not be able to withstand Li Qingyuan's attack.

Fortunately, when they set up camp, Yuan Shao ordered the cannon fodder battalion to stay behind and be responsible for logistics, otherwise they might have been defeated by the enemy just now.

After all, compared with the damage that could be caused by the enemy's 18,000 troops, it would be the most terrifying if the cannon fodder battalion of hundreds of thousands of soldiers directly blew up the camp.

For example, the Battle of Kunyang, which directly awarded Xiu'er the title of Grand Mage, was like this. In fact, the falling meteor did not cause too many casualties. The reason why Xiu'er was able to win the victory was entirely due to the enemy soldiers' self-trampling.

"Damn it! This damned villain!"

Yuan Shu was the first to start cursing. He suffered the greatest losses this time. Not only was his general Ji Ling killed, but he also had the most elite soldiers lost at the front.

The other princes were also terrified. Just now, Li Qingyuan and Lu Bu rushed over like bulldozers, and scared many people so much that they almost jumped off the viewing platform. Fortunately, they were all stopped by their personal guards. Otherwise, the viewing platform of more than 20 meters might not be a big deal for those top generals, but these princes would probably have to report to the underworld in advance.

"Everyone, don't be discouraged. We were just caught off guard today. When we regroup tomorrow, we will definitely be able to defeat that guy's arrogance!"

Seeing that everyone's morale was low, Cao Cao had to step forward and encourage them.

However, everyone's reaction to his morale-boosting speech was indifferent, and most people had even started packing their bags and preparing to flee.

Originally, everyone came to attack Dong Zhuo just to gain some military achievements, but now they find that the enemy is extremely powerful, so naturally they don't want to continue.

After all, there are not many people with such rich family background as the Yuan brothers. Even though Yuan Shu suffered the greatest losses in this battle, he could recruit more soldiers in minutes as long as he went back and unfurled the flag.

Do you understand the value of "four generations of three officials"?
You should know that the Eastern Han Dynasty had always used the recommendation system, that is, if you wanted to be an official, someone had to recommend you, and if you wanted to be recommended, you had to work like a slave for the other person. If you dared to be disrespectful to the recommender, you would be despised by the world.

Why did Yuan Shao dare to draw his sword against Dong Zhuo? It was because the Yuan family was Dong Zhuo's sponsor!
To be honest, it was Dong Zhuo who lacked martial ethics and directly stole the fruits of victory. Otherwise, it should be the Yuan family who are sitting in Luoyang City now.

Of course, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were actually secretly grateful to Dong Zhuo in their hearts. If he hadn't killed Yuan Huai and Yuan Ji, the two of them would now be sitting aside like minions.

"Don't worry, everyone. We have a strong army and we have a great cause. Today's incident was just a minor incident. No matter how fierce that guy is, he is just a brave man. Don't worry, my brother and I will fully bear the losses of you this time!"

Seeing that everyone's morale had dropped, Yuan Shao immediately came out to make a guarantee in the name of the leader of the alliance.

It has to be said that Yuan is still quite impressive when facing a disadvantage. The princes who were originally in panic immediately quieted down when they heard what he said.

We can deny face to Cao Cao, but we cannot deny face to Yuan Shao.

"Why? No one has compensated me for my losses yet!"

Yuan Shu started to chirp in dissatisfaction, but Yuan Shao glared at him so fiercely that he had to shut up.

At present, the two brothers have not completely turned against each other, so no matter how unhappy Yuan Shu is, he can only do what Yuan Shao says.

"The most urgent task is to search for brave warriors in the army. I don't believe that there is no one who can control the enemy!"

As the saying goes, a great reward brings out a brave man. Under normal circumstances, Yuan Shao would not bother to pay attention to those warriors, because the Tianlong people, as the pinnacle of the Han Dynasty, are completely different species from those common people.

This can be seen from his reaction after Yan Liang and Wen Chou, two of Yuan Shao's subordinates, were killed by Guan Yu. Even though they were the most capable generals under his command, they were nothing more than two dogs in Yuan Shao's heart.

Originally, Yuan Shao did not plan to raise too many dogs, because if he raised too many dogs, they might turn into wolves and devour their owners. Dong Zhuo demonstrated this very well.

But the current situation did not allow him to think too much.

After all, it takes time for a dog to turn into a wolf to devour its master. But if we don’t find more dogs now, we might be swallowed by the wolves on the opposite side.

Yuan Shao could still distinguish the difference between dying immediately and dying after a while.
