.    , The Three Kingdoms began with fooling Liu Bei

"The thief general Jiao Tu is dead! Those who surrender will not be killed! Your Majesty Zhang Wu treats fellow villagers in Zhuo County with preferential treatment. I hope that those who kill thieves can use them anyway!"

Zhang Fei rushed and shouted, and the other Han soldiers also began to shout and shake the enemy's morale. At the same time, their morale was as bright as a rainbow and launched a full-scale counterattack.

The pleasure of instantly killing the general made Zhang Fei very excited. The snake spear in his hand was like a poisonous python and a snake, causing a burst of blood.

Since he stabbed Li Jue to death in Weiyang Palace six years ago, he has never had the chance to use this violent move of "punching a person from his heart to his shoulder blades, then slashing upwards with great force, using the weight of the deceased's own body to cut off the collarbone and shoulder flesh, and throwing the corpse away" to kill the enemy generals.

Xu Huang had already killed Zhang Nan. Now that he had killed Jiao Tu with his own hands, he was so frustrated that he had no war to fight in recent years.

Jiao Chu army soon began to collapse, and the spearmen and halberd soldiers in the front row fell down one after another, and the team became messy, and the people in the back row collapsed and began to turn around and flee.

The Han army was chasing with a rainbow of momentum. Once many Yuan soldiers who were unable to run quickly were divided and surrounded, they obediently threw down their weapons and knelt down to surrender.

Many people finally thought that Liu Bei was from Zhuo County and Zhang Fei was from Zhuo County. They were fighting back to their hometown, and it was a bit unworthy to fight to the death. As the morale of the army collapsed, the Youzhou soldiers began to have chain reactions.

This battle, which nearly 30,000 people participated, ended in just half a day.

Jiao Chu's 20,000 Youzhou troops suffered a total of 20,000 casualties and fled, and half of them fled, and the remaining 10,000 people surrendered obediently.

Don't think that this number is small. After all, in such a chaotic battlefield, the soldiers of the defeated side still take escaping as the most priority.

After all, you can be an ordinary person by escaping back and hiding your name. You don’t have to lick blood from the knife to survive such a life of killing. Who would choose to change his lord to continue to join the army?

Only when the retreat is blocked and there is no way to escape will he choose to surrender in an organized manner. Zhang Fei finally accommodated 10,000 surrendered troops, which was already a very remarkable result.

In contrast, Jiao Tu's soldiers died and injured more than 4,000 soldiers in today's battle. Including the later tramplings in the chaos of chasing, it is estimated that they can reach nearly 6,000.

On Zhang Fei's side, only a few hundred people died in battle from beginning to end, and only more than one thousand wounded people were included. It has to be said that the fight was very beautiful. After the Youzhou army that had surrendered 10,000, Zhang Fei's troops increased instead of reducing, and expanded to nearly 40,000.

And they only briefly promoted the prisoner discipline, reorganized the surrendered troops according to their hometowns, or added to the original Han army unit with war damage, which quickly helped these soldiers regain their sense of belonging and could even go back to the battlefield.

At least after Zhang Fei takes over Zhuo County and Yi Jing and restores the hometowns of these soldiers, he will definitely not worry about the soldiers repeating again and again. People with normal IQs will look at the general trend and know to stand aside with the winner.

This gain was just like Guan Yu, Li Su's previous battles against Yuan Shao and Sun Ceshi were even more effective.

After all, when Guan Yu and Li Sucheng captured prisoners of war in a system, they did not dare to re-enter the battlefield immediately. They had to bring back the rear to train and rectify for a year and a half, and re-engage ideological education to avoid repeated recurrences in the battle.

Zhang Fei's side has been rectified for ten days and half a month, and he can directly become his own soldiers and then join the battle.

Zhang Fei then spent another four or five days to divide the counties of Zhongshan, rectify the surrendered soldiers, and then continue to advance. Originally, Zhongshan County was not handled so quickly, after all, it would take a lot of time to walk around even if you were to snatch land.

However, Yin Kai, the prefect of Zhongshan left by Yuan Shang, seemed not a very backbone guy. After Gao Gan and Lu Xiang ran away, he thought that Liu Bei was in Zhongshan, Changshan and Zhuo County, and he had a good mass base, so he would not have any good endings, so he led the team to vote.

By the prefect's organized surrender, Zhongshan's recovery speed was naturally much faster.

Before the end of April, Zhang Fei settled the entire territory of Zhongshan and Changshan counties, followed by Hengshui and Hutuo Rivers to Baiyangdian, and began to siege Yijing along the current, and prepared to recover Zhuo County.

(Note: The previous article Xu Huang killed Zhang Nan in Juyongguan on April 20th. Zhang Fei operated two lines on two lines. After Zhang Nan's death, he killed Jiao Touch five days after Zhang Nan's death, and took another five days to clear Zhongshan)

If Zhuo County is pacified for a little more, Zhang Fei can choose to split the cavalry and go north to the Badaling area at the junction of Guangyang County and Shanggu County, and attack Xu Huang, who is blocked outside the mouth, and take down Juyong Pass.

By then, Xu Huang's 50,000 people will also kill the Yanshan defense line and join Zhang Fei for a while, and Yuan Xi will be basically completely finished.

Except for Ji County, which was the capital of Yan State, which was the capital of Yan State, who could continue to rely on the city to defend for a period of time, there was basically no chance in other parts of Youzhou.

...

Early in the morning of the third day after Jiao Tu's death, the news that Jiao Tu's troops were wiped out was passed back to Ji County and reached Yuan Xi, the governor of Youzhou.

"What? General Jiao was also killed? Or was he chased by Zhang Fei to fight in the field while returning to the aid and his entire army was wiped out?"

Yuan Xi was stunned. There was no enough shock. How much bad news has he received these days? Basically, one in five or six days! Either a general was killed or a unit was destroyed, or the entire system of some counties was lost.

Dai County, Shanggu, Changshan, Zhongshan! The entire territory of four counties has fallen, with more than 30,000 soldiers and horses lost. The war generals and officials were killed, captured and surrendered as if they were...

"What can Ruzhi do? What can Ruzhi do? Mr. Ziyang, what can Ruzhi do for the current plan!" After Yuan Xi recovered his mind a little, he couldn't help crying and pulled Liu Ye to ask for advice.

Liu Ye's eyes flashed a few times, as if he was hesitating, and finally asked with compassion: "If you want to accomplish great things, or are you just willing to save your life? If you just want to save your life..."

Yuan Xi looked up and a sharp look flashed in his eyes: "Sir, can't he try to persuade me to surrender and discuss the conditions for me?"

Liu Ye's heart was shocked, and he put away the flash of sympathy for Yuan Xi, and quickly said with a gentle expression: "How could you make me want to protect the foundation of the former general and guard Jixian and wait for the changes of the times. It is not impossible, but it is more risky.

If you just want to be safe, keep your useful body and your direct soldiers and generals, and temporarily flee to the northeast, or hide in others, it is not impossible. How could your subordinates persuade you to surrender?"

Of course, Liu Ye had thought of persuading surrender, but he thought Yuan Xi was weak and wanted to survive.

But since Yuan Xi was not aware of the current affairs, Liu Ye changed his words and said that at most he only advised Yuan Xi to run away. As for where to run, Liu Ye said it casually anyway, and he didn't think about it.

After all, Tadun, the nephew who surrendered to Qiu Liju, probably had no chance. Liu Bei was also very popular in Wuhuan back then, and Liu Ye knew what was going on in Mizhu, Liaodong.

If Yuan Xi really gave up Jixian and wanted to run away one day, he would probably have to vote for the Xianbei people. After all, the Xianbei people still had a deep hatred with Liu Bei.

Liu Bei's camp was in Hetao, and Zhang Fei and Ma Chao killed many Xianbei people in two groups.

When Lu Bu and Zhang Liao killed Bu Dugen and burned Shengle of the Xianbei royal court, although they were not Liu Bei's subordinates. But now Lu Bu officially surrendered to Liu Bei and continued to trade in the Tuoba tribe's heads.

No matter from which perspective, the Xianbei Tuoba tribe and Liu Bei are irreconcilable, and they will definitely not be offered if they go there.

But Liu Ye would not offer this plan, he would rather Yuan Xi think so himself.

If Yuan Xi can't figure it out and finally surrender, it can only be considered as Yuan Xi seeking death. If Yuan Xi chose Tuoba Liwei, there would be no way, and he would have to spend more time at that time.

Besides, the situation has not reached this point yet.

Seeing Yuan Xi's unyielding spirit, he still wanted to struggle, otherwise he would not have followed his third brother Yuan Shang to resist all the way.

Sure enough, Yuan Xi calmed down for a while and said:

"At present, I still stick to Jixian and wait for reinforcements. I have already seen that the third brother can't count on it anymore. Our Yuan family has come to this point and is defeated so quickly. After all, it is the third brother and the eldest brother who are fighting for their own interests.

For the current plan, I can only rely on my elder brother and Cao Cao to save Youzhou. In fact, whether it is the elder brother or the third brother, the key is that the faster the winner is, the less harm it will be to our Yuan family's foundation.

If it is delayed for a long time, even if the eldest brother eventually kills the third brother, the eldest brother's direct lineage will probably be too much damaged, and the eldest brother's civil and military personnel will gradually be won by Cao Cao. Even if the eldest brother wins, he will inevitably be controlled by Cao Cao and gradually become a puppet.

I have decided to continue to defend myself, and at the same time I change my flag and wait for change. From today on, our Youzhou announced that we would support our elder brother in inheriting his father's power. We would like to send reinforcements to help Cao Cao's naval warships, come from the Bohai Sea, and go to Yongnu County, Quanzhou County and other places north of Nanpi to support.

Quanzhou is located in Yishui and enters the sea, which can echo the Yijing Tower left by Gongsun Zan, form a horn, and have a sea retreat to retreat. As long as the civil war in our Yuan family is over, I and my elder brother and Cao Cao fight together, I can still fight Zhang Fei!”

Liu Ye sighed: "Since the envoy has thought of resisting this point, should the defenders of Juyong Pass still stick to it?"

Liu Ye had to remind him that with his IQ, Yuan Xi would doubt any risks. But he would not help Yuan Xi make a decision. Anyway, no matter how Yuan Xi makes a decision, there are pros and cons.

Zhang Fei has already fought and will bypass Guangyang County at any time and go straight to the back of Badaling. If the defenders of Juyong Pass do not retreat, they can use the Yanshan Valley that has been dozens of miles away to continue to defend for a period of time. At worst, they will be attacked from both sides and cannot defend.

In that case, Zhang Fei could be held back for a while and he could even insist on blocking Xu Huang's troops.

But the harm is also obvious, that is, the 10,000 to 20,000 new forces of the Wangmen, who will probably be completely encircled and annihilated in Juyong Pass in the end. Time has been delayed, and the entire army will inevitably be wiped out.

If you retreat now and shrink to Jixian, you can avoid the tragic situation of being surrounded and annihilated, but the price is that Xu Huang can quickly break through Juyong Pass and meet Zhang Fei, and the battle to defend the city in Jixian will break out faster.

To save the troops, it is necessary to delay for a while. Yuan Xi has made a choice by himself.

Yuan Xi made a painful choice for a while and knew that his troops were getting smaller and smaller at the moment. It would be better to stay and wait for change.

"I am sending an order to Juyongguan immediately, and inform Wangmen to withdraw his troops overnight tomorrow night, and march back to Jixian to join forces with our army! Give up the Badaling Great Wall!

In addition, let Lu Xiang, who had returned from Changshan, go to the Yijinglou site to defend the ruins, and be sure to keep the downstream of Yishui and the sea outlet, and create conditions for us to wait for our brother and Cao Cao's reinforcements.

Except for Jicheng and Yijinglou, all other places in Yanshan Basin that are easy to attack and difficult to defend can be temporarily given up! We have no more troops to waste! However, before withdrawing troops, try to transport the grain in various prefectures back to Jicheng!”
