Free Web NovelChapter 111: Dong Zhuo Personally Leads Army
The reason is that all the silver invested by other players combined is only this much...
This 530,000 silver is equivalent to the entire fortune of other players; even their wives have been lost in the bet.
Long Chen became the sole beneficiary of this betting round!
Upon learning that Long Chen earned over 500,000 silver, "Imperial Dynasty. King Shang Zhou" under Yuan Shao was furious.
"F*ck me! I threw in the entire common military funds of the Imperial Dynasty for tomorrow, a whopping eighty thousand silver, and now... it’s all gone!"
Thinking about this, "Imperial Dynasty. King Shang Zhou" stared fiercely at Long Chen. Just as Long Chen was getting nervous, thinking that this guy was going to make a move, King Shang Zhou put on a crying face and begged, "Sword Wind, have mercy on me, and return my eighty thousand silver!"
"Yeah, yeah, return it to us!"
King Shang Zhou’s face softened as he pleaded with Long Chen, and the hundreds of alliance members behind him also begged Long Chen.
Xu Chu immediately became unhappy, glaring with his large copper bell-like eyes and shouting, "You guys, don’t you understand what it means to accept defeat in gambling?!"
"Back then, you were the most skilled at mocking our Lord, even saying that our Lord’s eyes were blind. Now it seems like your eyes are the ones that are blind, hmph!"
"Ah, this..."
These players were also helpless; it was all because Guan Yu’s appearance was so low-profile initially. Moreover, he was just a cavalry archer. Who would have thought that he would win in the end!
Completely unexpected moves!
Long Chen, facing these players who lost and wanted to renege, naturally ignored them!
If only they had known earlier, why bother now! frёewebnoѵēl.com
Moreover, this money is also very important to Long Chen. The pre-qualifying round of the World Supreme Tournament is about to begin.
He wants to make the most of this money.
With this 530,000 silver, Long Chen can expand his territory again.
He can recruit soldiers and buy horses, expanding his large army again, striving to recruit the maximum number of soldiers.
In addition, he plans to stir up some trouble in Yangzhou, achieve military merits in counties, and expand his territory!
But it’s not the time to think about that now.
Guan Yu casually threw Hua Xiong’s head on the ground and calmly said, "Guan Yu, fortunately, I did not disappoint!"
"Good! Good!"
Yuan Shao was overjoyed, showing a completely different attitude than before.
Cao Cao and other lords also congratulated Guan Yu, while Zhang Fei and Liu Bei showed proud expressions.
Because Guan Yu is their sworn brother.
However, Guan Yu bowed slightly towards Long Chen and said gently, "Thank you for trusting me, General!"
"No problem! Yun Chang has always had the courage to face ten thousand enemies. I have long been looking forward to you!"
"If you are willing in the future, you can come to Yangzhou and find me. The position is yours to choose."
Long Chen directly started to dig Liu Bei’s corner.
This made Liu Bei’s face turn green with jealousy!
Guan Yu subconsciously glanced back at Liu Bei, seeing his unpleasant expression, and then calmly stepped back behind Liu Bei.
Long Chen also understood that Guan Yu was a man of loyalty and righteousness; he would not switch sides due to a few words from him. Long Chen did not feel disappointed; instead, he immediately spoke with seriousness, "Gentlemen! Guan Yu has now slain the enemy general Hua Xiong!"
"Now is the time to attack Sisui Pass. What are we waiting for?"
Yuan Shao nodded and quickly gave orders, commanding the allied forces to attack and enter the city.
At this moment, all players behaved more enthusiastically.
They all eagerly wanted to kill the enemy forces of the Western Liang to increase their rankings!
However, when they found out that they couldn’t surpass the first-ranked "Sword Wind" no matter what, their mentalities crumbled one by one!
Tomorrow’s Dynasty: "Damn, how many Western Liang soldiers did Sword Wind kill? Our alliance, even if combined, can’t surpass his enemy count!"
Wind Spreads Worldwide: "I’m familiar with this plot. Forget it, anyway, Sword Wind is a monster. We don’t have plans to compete for the first place!"
"We should be grateful that we are in the same camp as him. This way, we have a chance to achieve the final victory!"
...
Under the united hatred of the allied forces, Sisui Pass was quickly captured.
Li Su led the remaining defeated soldiers and fled far away.
At the same time, he hurriedly wrote a document to report to Dong Zhuo in Luoyang.
After hearing the news that Sisui Pass had been breached by the allied forces, Dong Zhuo couldn’t help but erupt in anger.
"Damn it! Damn it!"
"I didn’t expect that our Xiliang’s formidable general, Hua Xiong, could not withstand the enemy’s treacherous general. Hua Xiong is the fourth formidable general in the West!"
Li Ru comforted him on the side, "Lord, don’t worry!"
"The alliance has gathered heroes and lords from the east. It’s quite normal to have such a formidable general. Now, what we should worry about is the Yuan family!"
Dong Zhuo, with his ample belly, paced back and forth in the hall, stroking his steel-needle-like beard and frowning, "Yuan family?"
"What happened to them? Hasn’t Yuan Wei been quite obedient lately?"
Li Ru said insidiously, "Now that we’ve lost General Hua Xiong, and the enemy’s power is immense."
"Yuan Shao is the alliance leader, and his uncle, Yuan Wei, is now the Grand Tutor of the court."
"If they collude internally and externally, it would be inconvenient. We should eliminate Yuan Wei first to prevent future troubles!"
"In addition, please allow the Prime Minister to personally lead the army and dispatch it to Hu Lao Pass to defend the city."
Dong Zhuo nodded deeply, agreeing with Li Ru’s words.
Dong Zhuo ordered Li Ru and Guo Si to lead five thousand soldiers to surround the residence of Grand Tutor Yuan Wei. Without distinguishing between the old and the young, they were to kill them all. Then, bring Yuan Wei’s head to the front of the pass and make an announcement.
Dong Zhuo raised another million troops, splitting them into two routes. One route commanded Li Jue and Guo Si to lead two hundred thousand soldiers to guard the key locations outside Sisui Pass, without engaging in direct combat. Their primary task was to resist the alliance forces’ attack.
Dong Zhuo himself led eight hundred thousand troops, along with Li Ru, Lu Bu, Fan Chou, Zhang Ji, and others, to guard Hulao Pass. The majority of these forces consisted of players, as the number of player characters was too high and had piled up!
Out of the forces under Dong Zhuo, there were estimated to be over two hundred thousand Xiliang soldiers. freeweɓnovel.cøm
Hulao Pass was fifty miles away from Luoyang. Upon reaching the pass, Dong Zhuo ordered Li Jue and Guo Si to lead two hundred thousand troops to hold the key locations outside Sisui Pass, without engaging in combat. Their task was to resist the alliance’s attack.

Out of the forces under Dong Zhuo, there were estimated to be over two hundred thousand Xiliang soldiers.
Hulao Pass was fifty miles away from Luoyang. Upon reaching the pass, Dong Zhuo ordered Lu Bu to lead two hundred thousand troops to set up a large camp in front of the pass. He himself stationed on the pass.
After receiving news of the movements of the Xiliang army, Yuan Shao reported it in the main camp.
Yuan Shao gathered the leaders for a discussion. "Gentlemen! Now that Dong Zhuo personally leads one million troops, occupying various key points, all of which are easy to defend and difficult to attack. If we want to assault Luoyang city, these passages are the unavoidable routes! What should we do now?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the lords all wore difficult expressions, not knowing how to proceed. After all, Dong Zhuo had brought out his elite forces this time, and the Xiliang cavalry was the most terrifying killing machine.
These lords didn’t want to face the Xiliang army directly, as it meant significant casualties. They, as lords, saw their soldiers as the foundation of their power. Naturally, they didn’t want to excessively deplete their military strength. They were hoping that other lords would suffer more losses, giving them an opportunity to expand their territories.
Long Chen also thought the same way. The more military strength the other lords lost, the more advantageous it would be for Long Chen to expand his territory!
