The battle started in the morning and was already dusk when the winner was decided, and the fierce battle was almost the whole day.

The soldiers should have been hungry and exhausted, but at this moment, every soldier of the siege army was chasing the soldiers of Xu Rongjun who were also frantically defeated and fleeing.

Not to mention the main force led by Guo Peng, even Bao Xin brought the army behind the palace to chase him and followed the main force to find a bargain.

It was not until dawn the next day that the soldiers of the siege returned to Xingyang one after another, carrying their chopped heads, carrying various weapons and armor, or carrying various property.

They came back tired and fell asleep, unable to even speak. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were both like this, and they couldn't even speak, and fell asleep after they came back.

Zhao Yun was even more awesome and came back with a big banner and a helmet. Guo Peng asked him, but he didn't reply and fell off the horse. Fortunately, Guo Peng quickly caught him.

Too tired, I fell asleep.

The big flag was Xu Rong's handsome flag. The helmet was obviously a helmet that only general-level figures would wear. I think they had a close relationship with Xu Rong.

Guo Peng was full of questions and could only wait until Zhao Yun woke up before asking.

Gongsun Zan was in good spirits. Gongsun Yue did not fall asleep. He took a breath and ate some food.

Both of them were injured, and Guo Peng sent someone to heal them.

Then, Guo Peng immediately assigned the brother two new tasks.

"Senior brother, there is a task that you need to complete immediately."

"What?"

Gongsun Zan immediately became interested. What the war madman most longed for was war. He was full of energy now.

"Arc Pass."

Guo Peng said, "One of the eight passes in Luoyang, the terrain of Arc destiny is dangerous. If you master Arc destiny, the road to Luoyang will be flat and there will be no obstacles. Now, taking advantage of Xu Rongxin's defeat, we must seize Arc destiny immediately and cannot give Dong Zhuo a chance to increase his troops to guard Arc destiny!"

Gongsun Zan nodded.

"Yes, I will definitely complete this!"

Guo Peng patted Gongsun Zan on the shoulder and handed him over three thousand soldiers and horses, asking him and Gongsun Yue to immediately go to the direction of the Arc destiny, seize the Arc destiny, and seize the initiative on the battlefield.

This is crucial to the war that follows.

And the others were so tired.

The soldiers who fought and killed the enemy on the front line all fell asleep tiredly, while the Taishan soldiers who were lying in the rear took on the heavy responsibility of service and served these soldiers who had fallen asleep in the exhausted and powerful enemy forces.

On the 27th, Guo Peng almost counted the results of this battle.

How many seized, how many enemies killed, how many damages oneself, etc., and found out the situation of Xu Rong's troops.

They did not continue to stay and fled all the way to Luoyang, and did not dare to stop and breathe, as if there were evil ghosts chasing behind them.

It seems that it is indeed a miserable retreat.

On the morning of August 28, the extremely tired soldiers woke up one after another. Guo Peng ordered the preparation of thick vegetable porridge for them to fill their empty stomachs, which had never eaten. Then he summoned the generals to inquire about the specific battle process.

For example, why did Xu Rong escape?

"The General of the Mo is indeed pursuing Xu Rong, but Xu Rong's personal guards resisted very violently. The General of the Mo is doing his best to not kill Xu Rong. He only seized his handsome flag and shot his helmet. Xu Rong himself escaped. Please punish him."

Zhao Yun knelt in front of Guo Peng with shame on his face, expressing his regret for not doing his best.

Guo Peng blinked and looked at the other generals. The other generals were also a little stunned and looked at each other.

"Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha! Zilong! Zilong! You are really my lucky general!!"

Guo Peng laughed and asked Zhao Yun to tell the whole process of his pursuit of Xu Rong.

After hearing that Zhao Yun led hundreds of cavalry to kill through the enemy formation, he did not stop, but rushed straight to Xu Rong's central army, fighting for desperate battles and forcing Xu Rong to move his position. All the generals were deeply shocked and praised Zhao Yun's courage.

"Zilong is full of courage!"

Guo Peng stroked Zhao Yun's back and praised him repeatedly, saying that Zhao Yun's brave fighting changed the situation on the battlefield.

Because Zhao Yun had been promoted to the lieutenant before, this time, in order to reward Zhao Yun, Guo Peng added the word "Tiger Dare" in front of Zhao Yun's lieutenant to be the lieutenant to praise his courage and fearlessness.

The most meritorious person in this battle was undoubtedly Zhao Yun. Guo Peng not only gave him the title of "Tiger Dare Captain", but also rewarded him with 30 kilograms of gold and two horses, and at the same time, he also reported that Zhao Yun was the Marquis of Duting.

Zhao Yun became the first general to be awarded a title among Guo Peng's generals, and he was so happy that he didn't know the southeast, west and north.

And the significance of this battle is beyond doubt.

The 20,000 troops brought by Xu Rong were annihilated by Guo Peng, and more than 4,000 were captured alive, and only more than 6,000 defeated soldiers followed him back.

Judging from the combat effectiveness of this army, it is not difficult to see that this is a relatively elite army. How many subordinates can Dong Zhuo have in such an army?

Defeating one-third of Dong Zhuo's elite troops was a huge blow to Dong Zhuo.

The general who was stabbed to death by Zhang Fei with a spear was identified by the captives and defeated soldiers and pointed out that he was Xu Rong's deputy general, Li Meng.

Therefore, because of such contributions, Guo Peng added the word "Tiger Power" in front of the position of the lieutenant, and called him the lieutenant of the lieutenant in the army. Guo Peng also made a memorial to Zhang Fei for his conferring title of Duting Marquis.

Zhang Fei became the second general to be voted for.

Guo Peng's troops lost about 3,000 troops, and they were all killed in front of the battle during the fierce battle.

After Xu Rongjun collapsed, almost no one died in the pursuit battle, but many were injured, and basically all the gains were obtained in the pursuit battle.

More than 500 people were killed in Guo Peng's headquarters, and more than 500 people were killed in the battle with Gongsun Zan and more than 500 people. The rest were all Taishan soldiers recruited by Bao Xin. Because they were new recruits, the number of deaths in the battle was particularly large.

Not so many people died in battle, but many were injured. After the war, the medical and nursing units that were always in Guo Peng's army came in handy.

In ancient times, many army troops suffered damage after major wars, but not so many people died in front of the battle. Most of them were seriously injured after the war.

However, after the baptism of victory, this army has had combat experience and can brag about it.

For Dong Zhuo, this failure was quite deadly.

Xu Rong was defeated thousands of miles away, and there were almost no soldiers accompanying him. The defeated soldiers fled in all directions. There was no obstacle between Xingyang and Luoyang except for an Arc detachment.

There has not been any news from the direction of the Arctic Pass. As long as the news arrives and Gongsun Zan successfully wins the pass, the outcome of the war will be determined.

The initiative in the war is in Guo Peng's hands, not in Dong Zhuo's hands.

Xu Rong's defeat exposes Dong Zhuo's tyrannical and cruel elites' appearance in Dong Zhuo's army, allowing people all over the world to see Dong Zhuo's weakness and the possibility of the Kanto Alliance defeating Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo's fantasy of creating power and oppression of the world with two hard-earned victories was immediately wiped out.

Guo Peng broke this illusion with a stick, allowing people all over the world to see that Dong Zhuo was actually the same.

Next, Guo Peng sent someone back to Soybean to promote his victory, and to reorganize his troops in Xingyang, preparing to fight again.

He believed that Dong Zhuo should not eat well in Luoyang now and sleep poorly, just like a frightened bird.

The fame and soft power he had always dreamed of will be greatly improved after this victory. In a panic among the world, he defeated Dong Zhuo and slapped the negative textbook that was established, inspiring the ambitious and dreamers all over the world.

Even if you are jealous, so what?

This is political capital, an extremely strong political capital that no one can overturn. It is the political capital that Guo Peng, who is not from the Yuan family and has a weak foundation, has always dreamed of.

The political capital brought by this battle is comparable to the achievements accumulated by the Yuan family over the years or even decades.

This kind of political capital will not see any effect in the short term, but over time, the benefits brought by this kind of political capital will be reflected in all aspects.

Therefore, Guo Peng must step on Dong Zhuo's body and climb upwards, becoming a typical figure of the positive figure, and trampling Dong Zhuo, a typical figure of the negative figure, under his feet.

He became a hero, defeating the hero of the treacherous Dong Zhuo...
