At dusk, the battlefield had not yet been cleaned.

Tian Xin's armor was torn, he suffered seven wounds on his body, and he went to Guan Yu's new camp with bandages.

The new military camp is on the south bank of the Han River, ten miles west of Xiangyang, with three layers of curtains, many bonfires have been lit, and outside the curtains are piles of dead bodies, prisoners, and scattered headless corpses.

When Tian Xin entered the curtain, Xia Houlan beckoned to him, and then sat down next to Xia Houlan: "Old general, how many prisoners are you taking today?" ”

Xia Houlan stretched out his palm and shook it: "My left wing captives were cut five thousand seven hundred, and the first one thousand three hundred and sixty ranks." How many prisoners of the southern army were killed? ”

"More than 1,800 levels were captured, of which more than 340 were the first level, and the surplus was about 1,400."

Tian Xin smiled strongly, shook his head and laughed at himself: "I hated Cao Ren Tuwan before, and more than 10,000 men, women, and children died, but today I participated in a big battle that killed 10,000 people, which is really unpredictable." ”

Dong Hui was carrying a barrel of rice wine and came to Tian Xin to drink wine: "Du Wei's words are bad, why not 10,000 prisoners today?" In particular, Cao Ren's headquarters was almost completely wiped out. ”

Tian Xin took a sip of refreshing rice wine and asked, "Old general, is our army going to attack Xiangyang next?" ”

Xia Houlan replied: "Rest for one day first, and drive the captives to dig trenches and bury fences in the next two days, and at least two fences must be erected to enclose Xiangyang." After surrounding, he should wave his troops to attack Gucheng and Pinglu City, and cut off the passage of Cao's army to cross the river. ”

Seeing that Tian Xin was thoughtful and stopped, Xia Houlan asked, "Does Xiaoxian have other plans?" ”

"There are some of them, but I don't know if it's feasible."

Tian Xin gathered the cloak on his shoulders: "Today, I have captured about 900 soldiers in Guanzhong, and they are all scattered troops from all over the Guanzhong. Cao Yan's army was tight, so Zhao Yan unified this hasty army to reinforce Cao Ren. Two or three hundred of these captives were widowed and unaccompanied, and it was not difficult to form an army with a little rectification. I heard that Pang De's troops were all surrendered in Hanzhong and the remnants of Liangzhou, so if I asked General Pingxi to supervise the army to help fight Xiangfan, maybe I might instigate a rebellion against Pang De. ”

Dong Hui took over the topic: "General Pingxi and General Zhengfu failed to attack Wudu in the north, and the army is tired, and it may be difficult to enter Xiangfan." ”

Tian Xin reiterated: "Pang De is a brave general in Liangzhou, and when I was in Hanzhong, I heard that when Pang De helped fight in Hedong, he beheaded Zhong Xuan's nephew Guo Yuan. Such a brave general is really a minion of the country, and he should be moved by righteousness and reason to return it to the Han. ”

Lei Xu raised the curtain at this time and walked in, looked Tian Xin up and down, and his tone was slightly dissatisfied: "Today, it is said that filial piety is the first and the champion of the three armies, how can it boost the arrogance of the Han thief?" ”

Others are nearly middle-aged, and they are also famous for their courage when they are young, and Chen Lan has tens of thousands of troops each, crisscrossing Jiujiang and Lujiang. After the Battle of Chibi, Lei Xu led his troops to attach themselves to Liu Bei; Chen Lan was exterminated by Xiahou Yuan, Zhang Liao, Zang Ba and others.

Lei Xu took a sip of a bowl of rice wine from Dong Hui's hand, raised his hand to wipe his beard and put the wine on it: "I heard that Xiaoxian rushed to Zhao Yanrong's car today, but he fell short?" ”

"At that time, I was at the end of my crossbow, and if Zhao Yan fought to the death and did not retreat, I would also be unpredictable."

Tian Xin knew what he meant, and asked rhetorically: "Has General Lei made any gains today?" ”

Lei Xu glared at him angrily, after he defeated the two armies of Hu Xiu and Fu Fang, he also divided into two teams, one team blocked Manzhong in the west, and the other team tried to block Cao Ren, but the two teams of soldiers and horses were attacked and pierced by Manzhong and Cao Ren in no particular order. So that the establishment was scattered and unable to fight again, so he could only watch Man Pet calmly retreat to the fortified city, and Cao Ren and his knights crossed the river to escape.

Xia Houlan watched coldly, he was only a second-line general of the Jingzhou Army who commanded the fifth battalion of the Yi Army; Lei Xu, Meng Da, and Mi Fang, who have private soldiers, and Zhao Lei, the governor who is in charge of the water division, are the first-line generals second only to Guan Yu.

Not long after, the curtain was raised, and Guan Yu, Zhao Lei, and Wang Fu walked almost indistinguishably from front to back, followed by Liao Hua, Xiahouping, and Guan Ping.

Tian Xin and the others got up to greet each other, Guan Yu sat on the main seat, and after everyone sat down, he glanced at Liao Hua, Liao Hua: "Today, our army has a great victory, and the prisoners in this battle are 13,782 and 4,243 are the first." Only more than 1,000 horsemen of Cao Ren's headquarters fled, and the rest were captured or beheaded, and their main force was destroyed. ”

His face was solemn: "All the meritorious deeds and profits have been recorded, and General Zuo has been reported to the flying horse." ”

The meritorious service evaluation and reward above the rank of captain and lieutenant can only be decided by Liu Bei.

Liao Hua sat down, Guan Yu glanced at Guan Ping again, Guan Ping got up and explained: "Today, Manchu led three thousand Runan soldiers to retreat to Gucheng, Li Ji led the remnants of Jiangxia and Guanzhong light cavalry about 1,000 people to retreat into Xiangyang City, and the Xiangyang garrison was about four or five thousand. Cao Ren's headquarters and Guanzhong Army were shattered. To the north of Hanshui, there are only 7,000 Pang De left, and more than 10,000 people from the three armies of Nanxiang Fu Fang and Thorn Shi Hu Xiu. In addition, the soldiers of Nanyang County did not dare to move lightly, so there was no need to worry. ”

"If there are no accidents, the full pet will evacuate the south bank. The fortified city is small and unsafe, the grain storage is not abundant and there are no reinforcements, so it is useless to defend it. ”

"Although our army has won a great victory, the attrition is also 2,000, and it is urgent to rest and replenish."

Wancheng was slaughtered, and the soldiers of Nanyang County were stationed in various counties to supervise the local heroes and officials and prevent them from rebelling.

Guan Yu said at this time: "Rest tomorrow and let the full pet evacuate." After he withdrew from Gucheng, General Lei supervised his troops to march westward, settled in Gucheng, and divided his troops to guard Da Shou Mountain and Yicheng, intending to control the Qinba Ancient Road. ”

Lei Xu got up, clenched his fists heavily, and shouted: "The last general will take the order." ”

Guan Yu's eyes fell on Tian Xin: "Captain Tian Du was wounded, and three days later, he led the wounded to take care of the prisoners and retreated to the Jingcheng camp to rest. Today, General Xiahou's headquarters suffered a lot of losses, and the southern army was transferred to make up for the shortage of General Xiahou. ”

Tian Xin was slightly stunned, got up and arched his hand: "Junhou, the last general is willing to lead a hundred people to rush to kill Cao's army with Junhou." ”

After the war, the soldiers under the command of such veteran Xia Houlan will be dismissed and downsized, and it is almost inevitable that the Southern Army will be downsized, dismissed, and dismantled.

It is the best choice at present to integrate the Southern Army into the headquarters of Xiahoulan and enrich its combat strength.

Guan Yu's face was unhappy: "Tian Duwei is a native of Guanzhong, and he just used righteousness and friendship to mobilize Guanzhong to surrender troops and use it for his own use." This is a big deal, how can it be joked? ”

Liao Hua hurriedly glanced at him, Tian Xin endured and endured it and still couldn't help it: "Junhou, the last general still wants to fight again." As far as the matter of accepting and surrendering troops, the Jingcheng battalion can do it, and it can also be done here. ”

Zhao Lei also advised at this time: "Prince, Tian Duwei's reputation for courage spreads among the enemy's and our armies, if you retreat to the rear, those who don't know may think that Tian Duwei is seriously injured and can't fight." If Captain Liutian serves in front of the battle, he can inspire the soldiers and damage the enemy's fighting spirit. ”

Tian Xin lowered his attitude: "The last general also knows that the prince and the marquis are compassionate, and it is really a family feud that cannot be forgotten." ”

Guan Yu raised his hand to stroke his beard, and at this time Guan Ping said: "Father, the child also thinks so." ”

This time, Guan Yu nodded: "Since everyone intercedes for you, then stay in Xiangyang." It is up to you to assist Cao Wangfu in dealing with the prisoners and the resettlement of the army. ”

"Xie Junhou is considerate."

Tian Xin sat down after bowing his hand, stabilized his mind, turned his head to look at Guan Ping, Guan Ping smiled back at him, and Tian Xin also bowed his head slightly.

Zhao Lei raised his hand and stroked his beard to look at the generals in the curtain, in addition to Liao Hua and Dong Hui, the youngest Lei Xu was also forty years old.

Wang Fu saw the small movements between Guan Ping and Tian Xin, and his face was light and light, and there were no waves.

Guan Yu continued to issue relevant orders to blockade Xiangyang with Xiahoulan to prepare for the next war.

Pound's 7,000 rebel army is full of vitality, and it is full of deterrence, and many things cannot be done.

Only by defeating the remnants of the rebel army, many things on the north bank of the Han River will be easy to handle.
