This great battle ended with a crushing defeat on the side of the coalition of princes.

But the two worst forces are Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shao lost several generals, and his henchman Wen Chu died at the hands of Lü Bu.

In terms of troops, it was even more miserable that it was almost completely destroyed.

When they fled to the banks of the Yellow River, only a few hundred remnants remained.

The lord of the allied forces, who fled back to Hebei in this form, was destined to greatly affect his reputation.

And Yuan Shu?

That’s even worse!

His younger brother Yuan Yin’s eldest son, Yuan Yao, was both captured.

Seventy percent of the troops sent to Tiger Prison Pass were also wiped out.

Yuan Shu himself had lost an arm in the previous battle of Xianshuiguan.

But.

Yuan Shu’s luck is not bad to the extreme.

Because he lost an arm, he did not participate in the battle of Tiger Pass.

Instead, he stayed outside the Shuishui Pass with Cao Cao and several other princes.

After learning the news of the battle of Tiger Pass.

The broken arm prawn Yuan Shu had to return to Yuzhou in an extremely humiliating posture under the escort of Ji Ling.

Except for Eryuan.

The best preserved strength is Cao Cao and Gongsun Zhan.

Most of Gongsun Zhan’s subordinates were cavalry.

Seeing that the form was not good, he immediately withdrew the troops as quickly as possible.

Coupled with the fact that Dong Zhuojun’s main target was Er Yuan, Gongsun Zan did not suffer too many losses.

Cao Cao did not participate in the Battle of Tiger Pass because he stayed at Xianshui Pass.

With his keen instincts, he had already smelled something wrong a few days earlier.

When the decisive battle of Hujiao Pass broke out, Cao Cao decisively ordered the withdrawal of troops back to Yanzhou.

Thus avoiding annihilation.

As for the other small and medium-sized princes, under Gu Yi’s signal, the generals of Dong Zhuojun did not kill them completely.

After all.

Nowadays, Lao Dong has no way to send troops to occupy the Kanto region, which has been completely infiltrated by the Saga Group.

If you forcibly occupy those lands.

I’m afraid that as soon as Dong Zhuojun leaves on the front foot, endless rebellions will break out in those places on the back foot!

In such cases.

If all these little princes die.

Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others will definitely occupy Hebei and the Central Plains as quickly as possible.

This is definitely not good news for Dong Zhuojun.

In this way, it was cheaper than Yuan Shao and Cao Cao and others.

It is better to leave this group of small and medium-sized princes to avoid the rapid unification of Hebei and the Central Plains by a certain force.

Meantime.

Dong Zhuojun was also given plenty of time to clear up internal contradictions.

It is commonly known as sitting on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, sitting on the profit of the fisherman.

……

Among these defeated and fleeing princes, there is an extremely special existence, that is, Sun Jian.

The reason why the coalition army of the princes suffered a crushing defeat was, on the one hand, because Yuan Shao, the leader of the alliance, was blinded by lard.

On the other hand, it was because of Sun Jian’s defection.

In fact, Zu Mao is only part of the reason why Sun Jian defected.

After the end of the Battle of Xianshuiguan, the contradictions between Sun Jian and the various princes had intensified.

The princes accused Sun Jian of inaction.

They believe that it is precisely because Sun Jian did not stop Hua Xiong.

Only then will the coalition forces encounter a surprise attack on the camp led by Hua Xiong during the Battle of Xianshuiguan.

But in fact, Sun Jian couldn’t stop Hua Xiong even if he wanted to.

His food and grass were cut off by Yuan Shu, and the soldiers were hungry all day and completely incapable of combat.

However, the princes will not care about this.

They only see their own losses.

However, he paid no attention to the dilemma faced by Sun Jianjun.

Later, the Battle of Tiger Pass broke out.

Zu Mao was captured because he followed Yan Liangwen to hunt down Lü Bu.

After this happened, Sun Jian was even more disappointed in the alliance of princes.

He himself believes in the supremacy of profit.

The coalition of princes left him with no hope.

Instead, Dong Zhuo threw an olive branch at this time.

Although…… Dong Zhuo’s reputation can almost be called “chicken feathers in one place” in the Kanto.

But so what?

It’s better than sending to death with the coalition of princes, right?

Therefore, Sun Jian promised Dong Zhuojun’s envoy and decided to defect before the decisive battle.

And after the defeat of the princes.

Sun Jian was also the only prince who stayed outside the Tiger Prison Pass.

Dong Zhuo attached great importance to this and decided to personally come to the outside of the Tiger Prison Pass to hold talks with Sun Jian.

……

“Hahahaha, Wentai, you and I haven’t seen each other for years.”

“I didn’t expect to see each other again, but in this way.”

Dong Zhuo, under the arch guard of Hua Xiong and Lü Bu, came to a place fifty steps away from Sun Jian.

Beside Dong Zhuo, Gu Yi and Zhao Yun had also followed.

The lineup on Sun Jian’s side is much simpler.

Except for Zumao, who was just released.

The rest are Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, and Han Dang.

Facing Dong Zhuo’s greeting, Sun Jian smiled bitterly, and then replied:

“Lord Xiangguo, in the future, you and I will be courtiers of the Han family, and I hope to work together to eliminate Huanyu.”

“Hahahaha, good to say, good to say.”

“The old man has long believed that Wentai is a person who achieves great things.”

“Looking at it now, that’s true.”

“However, with Wentai’s ability, the old man thinks that Changsha is too guarded, and he can no longer match your identity.”

“How is Yuzhou Mu?”

“Coupled with the identity of a county marquis, can it satisfy Wentai?”

The voice fell.

Sun Jian was stunned.

The cake thrown by Dong Zhuo was so big that he could hardly catch it.

But as the saying goes.

How can you be willing to spit out the food that is about to reach your mouth?

Greed gradually occupied Sun Jian’s ideological high ground.
