With Hu Zhen being killed by Sun Jian himself, the Xiliang army lost its chief general and became even more defeated and was killed by Sun Jian's subordinates.

In order to show his iron blood, Sun Jian did not give the Xiliang army a chance to surrender and issued an order to kill him without any refusal.

When it is dawn, the battle will be completely over.

Hu Zhen's ten thousand men, except for a few who quickly responded, escaped from Guangchengju and fled to Huaxiong's camp, most of them were killed on the spot.

Sun Jian's troops won a complete victory.

"Happy, lord, this battle was so exciting. I killed Hu Zhen directly! Should we continue to march towards Luoyang and kill Hua Xiong?!" Zu Mao came to Sun Jian excitedly and made a proposal to continue his march.

"Yes, lord, we can take advantage of the victory and chase it straight to Luoyang and kill Dong Zhuo!" Han Dang said excitedly.

Sun Jian was at this time and remained highly sober: "Hu Zhen was defeated because he did not judge the situation clearly. But Hua Xiong was not that easy to deal with."

"Our army has been very tired in continuous marching and fighting. It is not appropriate to continue marching and fighting. We also need to rest. Let's withdraw our people from Yang to build a good defense fortifications."

"Come here, pack Hu Zhen's head in wooden boxes and quickly send it to Yuan Highway's camp. Please ask him to allocate food and supplies to us immediately for our army to recuperate. When Yuan Shu's army arrives, we will decide how to advance." Sun Jian issued an order to his subordinates.

Everyone agreed to the promise, and followed Sun Jian's instructions to clean up the battlefield, rectify the troops and return to Yang to gather and defend, waiting for the food and grass support of the subsequent troops.

...

The fast horses of Sun Jian's subordinates soon sent Hu Zhen's head to Yuan Shu's camp.

Yuan Shu looked at Hu Zhen's head in the wooden box and was very happy. He said to Yan Xiang beside him: "This Sun Yat-sen station is really brave enough to fight. He actually killed Dong Zhuo's vanguard Hu Zhen and killed 10,000 of his troops. Thanks to your plan this time, our army can win the first battle!"

Yan Xiang showed a proud expression on his face and responded: "This is the lord, you, you, are you, the great fortune, and then Sun Jian will fight to the death to get the result."

"Immediately arrange someone to send Hu Zhen's head to Yuan Shao and let him see how I fight and let them blind princes see who is more suitable to be the leader!" Yuan Shu issued an order.

After the soldiers took Hu Zhen's head away, Yuan Shu said to Yan Xiang: "Sun Jian won the first battle and urged me to allocate food and supplies to him for replenishment. You can arrange it immediately and let him rest and continue to march to fight Hua Xiong!"

"As long as he can kill Hua Xiong again, then I, Yuan Shu, will be famous all over the world!" Yuan Shu said proudly.

"Lord, I'm afraid it's not you who is famous all over the world, but Sun Jian, right?" Yan Xiang carefully reminded Yuan Shu who was so proud.

Yuan Shu was slightly stunned and asked in confusion: "This Sun Jian is my pioneer along the way. Is his victory my achievements?"

"Hu Zhen was killed by him. If he could defeat Hua Xiong, everyone in the world would think it was Sun Jian's credit, but they would not remember it was the lord's arrangement!"

"If Sun Jian defeated Hua Xiong, he could directly send troops to Luoyang. If he attacked Luoyang first, killed Dong Zhuo, and won the first merit, I am afraid that his reputation would be even better than his lord!"

"Then Sun Jian is a tiger. If he really went to Luoyang to see the emperor and received a reward, who would know if he would become the second Dong Zhuo? At that time, the lord would have been raising a tiger!" Yan Xiang reminded Yuan Shu.

If we can instigate Sun Jian this time and get such a powerful general, then losing Hu Zhen would be nothing.
