Chapter 99 Ceasefire!

  The Battle of Tiger Trap Pass, eighteen vassals suffered heavy losses, Dong Zhuo retreated to Chang'an, and his original elite troops were less than 100,000. If he killed the fierce tiger of Xiliang, wouldn't that be letting Lü Bu gain an advantage?!

  "Lord Yuan, let us retreat. The young men under our command are badly wounded!" At this time, Sun Jian was the first to stand up and say to Yuan Shao, knowing how mighty they were when they came to form an alliance, but now looking at the remnants of their troops, each one battered and bruised, with corpses all over the mountainside, his heart was filled with sorrow.

  "Yes! The alliance leader retreats."

  All the vassals did not want to fight anymore, and they all turned to Yuan Shao. At this time, Yuan Shao also had the intention of retreating after hearing Cao Cao's words, but for a moment, he couldn't save face. The general trend was that the crowd's emotions were difficult to calm down. Yuan Shao pretended to be furious, waved his sleeve, and looked at the tiger in front of him, saying: "Let you go today."

  "Retreat!" Yuan Shao suddenly roared loudly.

  Spirit dazed, at this time autumn water felt a little powerless, although the zombie's physical strength was unlimited but spiritual power was limited, after several battles, especially when facing the world's rare elite white horse from justice, it made autumn water's mind and spirit feel exhausted.

  The afterglow of sunset falls on the earth, shining in this valley, presenting a strange beauty.

  In the valley, countless bodies lay quietly on the cold ground, crisscrossing and densely packed. This nameless valley buried tens of thousands of lives, and from then on, people all over the world would thoroughly remember this nameless valley, remembering a general who single-handedly held off an army in this valley.

  Spears stood upright on the crimson earth, surrounded by piles of corpses as far as the eye could see. Fresh blood flowed slowly from the bodies, gathering into small streams that crisscrossed the ground.

  The sunset shines on the lone general standing upright with a spear in hand, his face unchanged as he faces tens of thousands of troops without retreating, revealing a unique beauty.

  Woooo! The bugle sounded and echoed through the valley, countless soldiers began to slowly retreat.

  After hearing the horn, a pair of cold eyes slowly gazed at the large army in front of him and began to retreat slowly. A cold smile in his heart, finally found out, and fortunately, continued to attack, Autumn Water didn't think he could hold on.

  To know that in this valley has been killing for a day, the sun in the sky is about to set, at this time Qiu Shui feels mentally exhausted, just wants nothing, and sleeps soundly.

  At this time, if the other side sends a large army to press on directly, the fierce generals of each army will come up. With Autumn Water's current spiritual exhaustion and lack of strength, the probability of her falling is not small.

  Fortunately, my own stubbornness has not been in vain, and I have finally made a breakthrough.

  When the large army received the order to retreat, a cheer erupted, and finally they didn't have to face this demon god anymore. At this time, the crowd felt that their fatigue and hunger seemed to be swept away, and they began to withdraw with renewed spirits.

  Cao Cao rode his horse with a cold face, gazing far ahead at the autumn waters still standing at the mouth of the valley. A chill flashed in his eyes, and then he firmly turned his head and followed the army to retreat.

  At this time, the ones who were still pressing on were the generals who had led the White Horse from Yizheng's charge earlier. The White Horse from Yizheng coldly gazed at the world's number one martial general with the remaining two thousand or so people behind him.

  Clang! The army slowly disappeared into the valley, and then a soldier rode out of the valley on horseback, rushing to the front of Zhao Yun and other generals, kneeling on one knee.

  "Report! General, the main army has withdrawn from the valley. The alliance leader ordered all generals to lead the troops to retreat!"

  Zhoa Yun and the other generals nodded expressionlessly, indicating that they understood. At this time, all the white horse guards looked at Zhoa Yun, knowing that these elite white horse guards were trained by Gongsun Zan himself. They would naturally follow the orders of their own master, Zhoa Yun, under his command. The other generals were just nominal leaders.

  Zhoa Yun's face was expressionless as he slowly urged his warhorse forward, taking two steps before saying in a cold voice: "General, your martial arts skills are something I, Zhoa Yun, have always admired. The title of the world's number one is well-deserved! Today, I am convinced both in my heart and by your words. Farewell!"

  Then with a wave of his hand and a point of the silver spear, when the white horses saw Zhao Yun's command, they all moved in unison, turning their heads and slowly retreating.

  After hearing Zhao Yun's words, Qiū Shuǐ felt a thrill in her heart, never expecting that she could gain the admiration of Zhāo Zǐ Lóng, the White Horse Silver Spear General from history. It was indeed a satisfying feeling for Qiū Shuǐ.

  The rest of the generals, upon hearing Zhao Yun's words, felt a pang of reluctance in their hearts, tightly grasping the hilts of their swords, but then helplessly loosened their grip. They all turned pale and bowed to Autumn Water, who stood far away holding his spear, as a sign of respect. Then they closely followed the main army as it began to retreat.

  The red sunset shines in the valley, at this time there are only countless corpses in the valley, and a faint scent of meat is still floating.

  In a pile of corpses, one man stood proudly with a spear, and behind him, a fiery red war horse slowly walked to the side of this general.

  Mengjin Port.

  Lü Bu had already led his troops to join forces with Gao Shun, Zhang Liao and others at Mengjin Port, and they began to cross the river slowly.

  At this time, the whole army was in a state of low morale, with no noise at all.

  Lü Bu tightly grasped the letter in his hand, which was a letter from Qiū Shuǐ to Qiū Shùn, Qiū Wǔ and others. Unexpectedly, after the two of them read it, they handed it over to him.

  The letter reads that Qiu Shui knew he was not long for this world and went to pursue the return of a general from the sandy battlefield, letting Qiu Shun and Qiu Wu serve under Lü Bu. In the letter, Qiu Shui also wrote about famous historical military strategists and wise men.

  After Lü Bu killed all the generals, there were two more men wearing Confucian robes. These two men were Chen Gong and Jia Xu, who were famous in history.

  Qiu Shui had long been investigating the whereabouts of these two men. After all, at this time, there were only two famous people in history who could be near Luoyang. Jia Yu was already in the Western Liang army, but his name was not well-known, and he served as the chief clerk of Niu Fuxi's army. Chen Gong was a county magistrate in Luoyang, and originally, Cao Cao had met him after failing to assassinate Dong Zhuo and escaping. Unfortunately, in this world, Cao Cao did not assassinate Dong Zhuo, so Chen Gong was still serving as the county magistrate when he was found by Qiu Shui's men.

  Lü Bu's face was filled with distress, his own brother had done so much for him, how could he repay him!

  "General, the troops have arrived at the shore." Jia Yu and Chen Gong said slowly as they looked at Lü Bu's face filled with memories.

  Since you've already been caught, let's settle this matter once and for all. After all, your family members have also been brought here.

  Oh! Lü Bu immediately reacted and hastily returned the courtesy, personally leading the two down from the boat. In his letter, Qiū Shuǐ wrote that these two men possessed talents that could penetrate heaven and earth, were people who could win the world with just one person, and were rare strategists in the world.

  Lü Bu, after many battles and especially after being defeated by the inferior military force of Autumn Water, came to realize the terrifying power of strategy. Therefore, he treated the two strategists with great courtesy.

  PS: Sorry, I was on a night shift on the water last night and just got off work. Asking for votes, asking for collection, all kinds of asking!
