189 CE

Wang Guo's men become worn out and abandon the siege in spring 189.

Huangfu Song, with his men rested, orders his men to give chase.

Dong Zhuo protests, citing the rule of warfare that a retreating army is not to be pursued (lest the enemy retaliate in desperation).

Huangfu dismisses the protest, saying Wang Guo's retreat is not an organized retreat but a result of losing all will to fight.

Huangfu leads his men to attack, leaving Dong Zhuo behind as a rearguard, and achieves a great victory, cutting off more than ten thousand heads.

Dong Zhuo is said to be ashamed and angry at this and bears a grudge against Huangfu from this point forward.
