As Liyang was on the border of Jizhou, most of the people there were relocated by Yuan Shao to the vicinity of Yecheng.
Therefore, the two did not feel much psychological burden when they set fire to the city.
After all, there were no civilians living there, so they could just burn it down to avoid giving it to the enemy as a garrison.
Seeing the city on fire, Dong Yu had no choice but to head north and choose a new place to set up camp.
South Bank of Qinghe River
The Dong army camp is under construction.
Dong Yu was listening to the reports of Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong in the first military tent.
"My lord, I was careless in this battle."
Zhao Yun knelt on one knee and said with his head down.
"stand up."
"What a big deal."
"Victory or defeat is standard issue."
"Besides, is this battle lost?"
"Didn't you defeat the Liyang troops?"
Dong Yu pulled Zhao Yun up from the ground and questioned him.
"That's true."
Zhao Yun nodded.
"That's it."
"The mission I gave you is to defeat the Liyang troops."
"You only have 3,000 men. Can you really defeat an enemy force that is several times larger than yours?"
Dong Yu patted Zhao Yun on the shoulder and comforted him.
To win with fewer troops, many conditions are required.
Don't always think that it is inevitable that Zhang Babai will defeat Sun Shiwan.
There is a lot of randomness involved.
The first point is to meet a commander like Sun Quan.
Even if you meet a commander like Sun Quan, you will still have to encounter terrain like Xiaoyaojin.
"By the way, my lord, General Huang and I have captured the enemy commanders Zhang He and Gao Lan."
Zhao Yun cupped his hands, then he remembered that these two military achievements had not yet been reported.
"what?"
"Did they really catch him?"
Dong Yu confirmed with some surprise.
"Caught."
However, General Huang and I were a bit heavy-handed, and they are still unconscious. I have ordered the others to be detained."
Zhao Yun nodded and answered affirmatively.
"Okay, okay."
"What do you mean by sin?"
"This is a great achievement! Zhang He is quite capable. We have captured him alive this time. If we can persuade him to surrender, it will be a great help to me!"
Dong Yu was overjoyed and kept saying "good".
"Uh, is it as powerful as the lord said?"
Huang Zhong asked in surprise.
Why did he feel that Zhang He was somewhat ordinary?
Two people can't beat Zilong alone, is this like gaining an arm?
The main reason is that there are too many talented people in Dong Jun’s camp.
Huang Zhong had an illusion that his opponents did not seem to be very strong.
"General Huang, although Zhang He's strength is slightly inferior to mine, he is still truly extraordinary."
Zhao Yun hurriedly explained.
"Okay, you two can go down and rest."
"Also, have the military doctors take good care of the wounded soldiers."
Dong Yu smiled and shook his head, then sent the two of them away.
"I will retire at the end!"
The two of them bowed and left at the same time.
After the two left, only senior military officials such as Dong Yu, Xun You, Jia Xu, Xu Rong, Lu Bu, Niu Fu and Zhang Xiu were left in the tent.
"My lord, with our current military strength, it seems difficult to conquer the entire Jizhou."
Xu Rong bowed and spoke first.
As he spoke, Xu Rong's face looked very hesitant.
He knew that saying this at this time would easily undermine the morale of his own generals.
But sometimes if you don’t say it and I don’t say it, who can point out the key to the problem?
"Xu Rong, why do you want to boost others' ambitions and destroy your own prestige?"
"How difficult is it to conquer a mere Jizhou?"
"This general can lead his troops to conquer Jizhou. Who can stop me?"
Lu Bu looked up with disdain.
In his opinion, these so-called elite soldiers and generals in Jizhou are nothing but grass.
When the princes of Guandong united to attack Dong Zhuo, they were unable to do anything to him.
Now we are just attacking Yuan Shao, so what is there to be afraid of?
"That's right, our Xiliang army is strong and powerful, and Yuan Shao is just a mere mortal."
Niu Fu was immediately aroused by Lu Bu's words and spoke loudly with his neck stiffened.
Seeing the arrogance of the two powerful men from the Dong family, Jia Xu and Xun You could only watch in silence.
They were not in a position to say anything, after all, given their status, Dong Yu had to solve the problem himself.
“Pride comes before a fall.”
"You can despise your enemies, but you cannot ignore them."
"Otherwise, be careful of capsizing in the ditch."
"Also, I am the master in this battle, and you two just need to follow my orders."
Dong Yu looked calm and reminded the two of them in an indifferent tone.
"Uh...brother-in-law, I'll listen to you anyway."
Niu Fu immediately admitted his mistake and apologized with a smile.
"That's natural, I'll shut up."
Lu Bu calmed down and nodded in agreement.
Both of them could see that Dong Yu would be the head of the Dong family in the future, and Dong Zhuo would gradually retreat behind the scenes until all power was handed over to Dong Yu.
