Chapter 199: Dong Zhuo's own evil consequences

During these days in the Western Regions, Liu Jiu had already spread all the anger he suffered in Liangzhou. Wherever he led his troops, he destroyed everything like a tornado. Almost all the Western Region tribes, small towns, and oasis he passed by were stolen!

There are many Hu people in the Western Regions, and there are all ethnic groups, and some are even very powerful tribes. However, when they encounter Liu Jiu's Hun army, they are all like rotten trees, uprooted and destroyed!

But although Liu Jiu was so happy to grab it, he knew that he had offended many Hu tribes, especially the Western Qiang tribes. He offended them even more, but he didn't care. If he didn't do this, the Nine Tents would fall apart after returning to the grassland. He had to bring back the property that surprised the tribesmen so that the tribesmen could continue to stay by his side. As long as the Nine Tentsmen are kept, the Hu tribes will join forces to attack him in the future. If he has the ability, he will come to the grassland to beat him. If he is not afraid of others, he is afraid that they will not dare to come!

After robbing for so many days, Liu Jiu's army was filled with more than 10,000 large trucks. The property obtained was enough for the members of the Nine Treasures to live a three-year life without doing anything. When he learned that Li Qin had led his troops to enter the Western Regions again, Liu Jiu gathered his army and robbed it enough. Now the most important thing is to bring these property back to the grassland safely.

Like last time, Liu Jiu still personally led the elite soldiers and separated from the brigade, but this time he did not cut off the rear, but his own front. Liu Jiu certainly knew that Dong Zhuo was waiting in the west with his army, and his troops were not large, at least fewer than Li Qin. So why did he still fight Li Qin? It would be better to attack Dong Zhuo directly, capture prisoners of the Western Regions, and then threaten the prisoners to prevent Li Qin from chasing him.

This is the difference between the Hun tribe and the Han court. If the Han soldiers captured prisoners of a certain Hun tribe and threatened another tribe, it would definitely not work. However, if the Hun soldiers captured Han soldiers from one place and threatened Han soldiers from another place, it would be very useful. If the general did not save him, then Liu Jiu would not have to defeat the general, and the Han court would deal with the general for him.

Liu Jiu understood that he would never have the intention to defeat Li Qin in his life, so he might as well use external forces to kill Li Qin with the power of the Han court, so he set the direction of the main attack to the west where Dong Zhuo was. He led the Hun soldiers to pounce on Dong Zhuo's camp at lightning speed.

Dong Zhuo didn't know that Liu Jiu was coming to attack him, and he thought that Liu Jiu had to fight with Li Qin first. He just needed to get a bargain. How could he think that he would become a bargain and be picked up by Liu Jiu? He was still rushing to Jiele Beach with Wuji Army!

Liu Jiu rushed to Dong Zhuo's camp with the Xiongnu soldiers, but found that the Wuji army had already set up camp and advanced to the north. He immediately supervised the army to chase. The two armies were only a hundred miles apart. As long as the Xiongnu soldiers were fast enough, they could catch up in two days.

Dong Zhuo was rushing to the road, and then a scout came to report that the Huns had caught up from behind. It seemed that they were elite soldiers with a very fast march. They would probably be able to catch up with the Wu and Ji army soon!

Dong Zhuo was shocked. Why did the Hun soldiers compete with him if they didn’t fight with Li Qin? Could it be that they bully the weak and fear the strong, and dare not fight with Li Qin, so they came to beat him?

The Hun soldiers were right behind. Dong Zhuo did not dare to stop and wait and see, so he could only rush to Jieletan. He sent someone to find Li Jue again, hoping that Li Jue would go to Li Qin for the third time and see where the Fujiao Army had gone! But the people sent to go quickly and come back faster, and told Dong Zhuo that Li Jue, who was walking at the end, had disappeared with the army. He didn't know where he went, left the brigade and completely lost contact!

This time, Dong Zhuo couldn't afford to even be surprised. He realized that he had been sold by Li Jue, and Li Jue must have turned to Li Qin. He had met the rebellion of his generals before, but Li Jue had rebelled too badly, and he was simply trying to force him to death!

Just like a small businessman, pulling a cart of clay pots and walking on the uphill mountain road, a wolf suddenly ran over and bit the little merchant's butt. If the little businessman wants to keep the cart, he has to make the wolf bite off a piece of meat on his butt. On the contrary, if he wants to keep the meat on his butt, he has to let go of the hand that pulls the cart to drive the wolf, but a cart of clay pots has to fall down the slope and all of them are broken!

Now Dong Zhuo is like a little businessman, in a dilemma. No matter how he fights this battle, no matter who wins or loses, he will suffer a huge blow anyway. For a long time, he will not be able to recover!

Dong Zhuo was furious and ignored the situation. Anyway, he was already like this. What else was he afraid of? He ordered the entire army to stop rushing and wait on the road to fight to the death with the Xiongnu soldiers and would not go to Jieletan. If there was not enough food and supplies in the marching, what else would he go!

Liu Jiu led his troops to chase after him. When he learned that Dong Zhuo's army had stopped, he was overjoyed and immediately urged the army to fight. The two armies faced each other at noon the next day!

Dong Zhuo stopped halfway, but it was also a Gobi Desert. Although it was not as if no grass was growing, it was rare. The food and grass were not replenished, and there was no water source. Each of his soldiers only brought a bag of water. After drinking it, they were gone. Li Jue, who was transported to the supply, ran away!

Just as Dong Zhuo was ready to fight a big battle with the Huns, soldiers came to report that the water had been drunk and the soldiers were thirsty and could no longer hold on.

Dong Zhuo was very surprised. Each person had a bottle of water, so he could drink it a little. It should be fine for three or five days. Why is there no water now? After asking, the soldier told him that the water he brought was thirsty the more he drank, and the taste was salty. It was actually salty. Although it was added very little, the taste of leather covered the salty taste of the water, and it was only a very light salty taste. But it couldn't stand this kind of water. The soldiers became thirsty the more they drank, and they could no longer hold on!

Dong Zhuo almost scolded Li Jue's ancestors for eight generations, but things had reached this point, and he had no choice but to let the soldiers drink horse urine and quench their thirst. If there was no water in the desert, drinking horse urine was also a way. No one would laugh at anyone, and it was not embarrassing. However, the supply was gone, people had no water to drink, and there was no horse, so they couldn't urinate. The entire Wuji Army could not even drink horse urine now!

In this situation, if Dong Zhuo can still defeat Liu Jiu, then he will become a god of war!

When the two armies fought, the Xiongnu soldiers charged forward, and the Wuji army was defeated and fled in various places. More than 80% of the Wuji army were captured by Liu Jiu.

After the battle, Liu Jiu checked the prisoners, but although there were many Wu Ji soldiers captured, there were no Dong Zhuo. Liu Jiu thought to himself: "There were a lot of soldiers, but they didn't catch the main general. It seemed that they were not worth enough. I wonder if they would threaten Li Qin."

Liu Jiu brought a large number of prisoners back to the army to pick up his large army. His large army was driving tens of thousands of carts, which was a huge fortune, which was related to the future of his Nine Treasures. He must not lose anything.

However, Dong Zhuo was an official in the Western Regions and had no other skills, but he was extremely good at running. When fighting against Liu Jiu, he knew that he would be defeated. So he was commanding behind him and was about to collapse his army. He did not go to reorganize the army, but immediately turned his head and ran away, running for twenty miles in one breath, and then stopped to rest.

Dong Zhuo looked at the endless Gobi Desert in front of him, then looked back at his personal soldiers, and found that there were only three people left beside him! His mouth was full of bitterness, Dong Zhuo said: "Brothers, we can only return to the base now, but we have no food or water. I am afraid that we will not last long. If we are thirsty for a long time, we will have hallucinations. At that time, we cannot tell the direction. I am afraid that no one will come to chase us, and we will have to die on the road ourselves!"

The three personal soldiers were fainted by thirst, not to mention that they were fainting now. They looked at Dong Zhuo, and no one could speak, and were waiting for him to make an idea.

Dong Zhuo said: "If we want to go back alive, we must have water, so we must wait for the Huns to come, rob their water, and then rush forward!"

The personal soldiers were not fainting this time, everyone was afraid to steal the water from the Hun soldiers? How could this be possible? There were only four people in total, so how could they beat the Hun soldiers? There was no need to come over to many Hun soldiers. Just one team of ten people could clean them up!

Dong Zhuo was not an ordinary person after all. He said, "The Hun soldiers will definitely catch prisoners everywhere, but we are twenty miles away from them, so even if someone comes, they will not come in groups, they are just scattered soldiers and cavalry. Let's wait here and release the horses. When the Hun soldiers see the horses, they will definitely come and lead them away. Let's take the opportunity to kill them, rob the horses and drink water, and then walk back. Do you have the courage to do this?"

The personal soldiers were not cowards. Although they were afraid, they did not dare. They acted immediately, got off their horses and drove them away. They lay down in the sand, holding bows and arrows, preparing to ambush the Hun soldiers coming.

As expected, when it was dark, six Hun soldiers came here, and it seemed that they were here to catch deserters. When these Hun soldiers saw the four horses, they immediately came over. The two took out the rope ring, and the four people approached the war horses. If they could not be taken away, they would use the rope ring to trap the horses.

But as soon as these Xiongnu soldiers came, a few feather arrows flew out and shot four Xiongnu soldiers to death. The two behind them had not yet discovered where the enemy was, and they shot them to death!

Dong Zhuo and his personal soldiers cheered a few times, jumped out of the sand, led the horses of the Hun soldiers, took the water bag, and each of them was filled with water. Then they rode on the horses of the Hun soldiers, pulled the spare horses, and returned to the base.

After running wildly for three consecutive days, no Hun soldiers were chasing him. As they were getting closer and closer to the garrison, Dong Zhuo and his personal soldiers finally felt relieved. As soon as they entered the garrison, it would be safe. Whether they gathered their troops or went to the chief minister to ask for help, the difficulties would always pass.

It was only half a day before the base was approaching, and the oasis could be seen. Dong Zhuo was about to work harder and strive to go home tonight, when he suddenly found that there were Han soldiers in front of him, and these Han soldiers were all wearing full armor, and everyone was riding a tall horse. They were obviously the elite among the elite.
