I rode and slashed unparalleled in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 573: The Triumph of the Lord

"A great victory, a great victory!"

"Your Excellency is mighty!"

"Long live, long live!"

The next day, the sky was clear.

When Su Yao returned triumphantly with a large number of surrendered soldiers.

In front of Yique Pass, the soldiers guarding the pass burst into thunderous cheers.

Lu Zhi, Xun Yu, Zhong Yao, Wang Ling, Qian Zhao and other civil and military officials as well as Princess Yun, Princess Wannian, Hong'er and other family members and maids all came out to welcome them.

They had all received the news in advance—Marquis Su had won a great victory!

This battle not only defended the pass, but also shattered Dong Zhuo's ambition to capture Yique Pass in one fell swoop and wipe them out.

Su Yao even fought back by cutting off the blockade of the ferry, and then chased and killed Dong's army, causing a river of blood and forcing them to flee in all directions.

According to the final statistics of the battle results, there were more than 3,000 heads beheaded, including the chief commander Niu Fu, the governor Hua Xiong and other major generals, who were either killed or surrendered. None of them escaped.

The military supplies that Niu Fu’s camp and Hua Xiong brought to Luopu Ferry, including tens of thousands of swords, shields, bows and crossbows, armor, etc., were all confiscated by Su Yao.

Of course, the most valuable among them are the surrendered soldiers.

Among them, Jia Xu and Zhang Ji each led about a thousand people, totaling nearly three thousand people, not to mention those who directly defected in the battle.

There were about 3,000 prisoners who were captured because they were scattered, defeated, and forced to kneel down and surrender and beg for mercy.

This wave can be said to have completely wiped out the more than 10,000 troops sent by Dong Zhuo.

Considering that their level itself only had a few thousand people, this was an amazing victory.

Not to mention the newly joined subordinates such as Lu Zhi, Xun Yu and Zhong Yao, even the veterans such as Wang Ling and Qian Zhao did not expect that Su Junhou could actually wipe out the entire army before the battle.

You know, when Dong Zhuo first entered the capital, he brought only three thousand soldiers.

He incorporated the troops stationed in Luoyang and urgently transferred a large army from Xiliang, but he only temporarily supplemented the troops in Luoyang to nearly 30,000 people.

This destroyed more than one-third of the army, many of which were elite troops.
"It looks like this thief Dong is doomed," said Lu Zhi.

"Lord Su is truly a god." Zhong Yao sighed.

"I never expected that the results of this battle would be so brilliant." Xun Yu also shook his head.

However, compared with the restraint of these scholars and civil servants, Su Yao's family and the soldiers guarding the pass were not so polite.

When the cartloads of baggage were transported through the customs, bringing the news of Su Yao's great victory, they immediately ran out of the room, sweeping away the gloom of the past few days, and shared the joy of victory with excited faces.

Everyone shouted Su Yao's name, and amidst the cheers and long live the emperor, Yique Pass was like a sea of ​​joy.

"what's the situation?"

"Why is it like this?"

The south gate of Yique Pass.

Wen Pin, who had just arrived here, was confused.

Ever since Li Su was killed by Zhao Yun in his camp, he had accelerated his actions, thinking that he would be treated like a hero when he arrived here.

The cheers from the top of the city made him feel a little dizzy for a while.

After all, facing the siege of Dong Zhuo's nearly 10,000 troops, the 5,000 troops he brought had become the key to determining victory or defeat.

However, the news the messenger brought back completely stunned him.

"That Champion Marquis, he actually defeated the thief Dong by himself?!"

Wen Pin stood there in a daze, staring blankly at the Yique Pass where cheers were ringing, feeling mixed emotions.

"Marquis of Champion...Su Yao..." Wen Pin muttered to himself, unable to come back to his senses for a long time. He had never expected that this colleague, who was famous but not with whom he had much interaction, would have such amazing fighting power and wisdom, and could turn the tide by himself, making all his hard work go down the drain.

As a military man, Wen Pin was very clear about Dong Zhuo's strength, and the reputation of the Xiliang Army as a powerful force in the world was not untrue.

And this Champion Marquis Su Yao, who suddenly appeared in the world and was conferred the title of marquis within a year, does not seem to be a person who gained the title in vain by relying on the favor of the previous emperor.

"General, are we... still going into the city?" the deputy general beside him asked cautiously, his eyes also full of surprise and confusion.

Wen Pin took a deep breath, tried to calm his inner turmoil, and replied in a deep voice:
"Into the city, why not?"

"We are allies!"

He emphasized the word "diploma ally" with particular emphasis. He paused and continued:
"We are here not only to help in the battle, but also to join in the cause of justice."

"Since Champion Hou has won this battle, we cannot be missing."

"Come on, follow me in and meet this prince. I want to see what he looks like."

After saying this, he ordered his deputy general to follow the defenders' request and station the troops outside the city. Then he whipped his horse whip and led dozens of personal soldiers to quickly march towards the city gate.

On the other side of the door, Su Yao was riding his snow-white horse, slowly passing through the jubilant crowd.

The sunlight shone on his armor, flashing a dazzling light, as if he was a natural leader, attracting everyone's attention.

In the face of all this, Su Yao just maintained a faint smile, and his every move showed calmness, as if everything was under control.

What a handsome, heroic and majestic man.

Seeing this scene, Hong'er's heart was filled with emotions and her face turned red, while Xiaochun pouted secretly.

The former Xianbei princess secretly complained in her heart, thinking that this guy was really conceited.

Others had no idea that this was such a brilliant scene.

The champion marquis specially sent someone to ask them to go out of the city and bring him some change of clothes and armor. It was really a busy time.
However, all this effort was not in vain.

Needless to say, the whole city was filled with jubilation and the people were encouraged. When Wen Pin saw Su Yao after entering the city, he was immediately struck by her beauty.

He subconsciously straightened his clothes and went to see:

"Lord Su!"

"I am Sima Wenpin of the Nanyang Army. Congratulations to you on your great victory."

"I am a step late and cannot help you, my lord. It is a pity."

Su Yao tilted his head slightly, his gaze lingered on Wen Ping for a moment, then a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he coughed lightly and said:
"Sima Wen, you are too kind. Your coming here is the greatest support to me."

"Although we won this battle, it was not my achievement alone, but the result of everyone's efforts."

"Sima Wen's timely arrival further demonstrates the loyalty of our alliance. Su is extremely grateful."

Upon hearing this, Wen Pin secretly admired Su Yao's broad mind and magnanimity, and replied with a folded hand:

"Your Excellency's modesty and generosity are a blessing to the world."

"From now on, if you need me, I will serve you like a dog or a horse."

Su Yao was delighted when he heard this; this was exactly what he had been waiting for.

Naturally, he would not leave these five thousand soldiers here in vain.

So, Su Yao enthusiastically pulled Wen Pin up and invited everyone to go to the meeting room.

After briefly introducing Wen Pin, Lu Zhi, Lu Bu and others, Su Yao skipped the greetings and got straight to the point:
"Although this great victory dealt a heavy blow to Dong Zhuo, his base has not been destroyed and he is still entrenched in the capital city."

"Therefore, I decided to seize the opportunity to pursue the victory, recapture the capital, and welcome back the emperor!"

"What do you think?"
