Wen Xuan had the intention to lead the troops to withdraw to Xuzhou, but he was worried that Wang Baobao would take the opportunity to make trouble, and he would easily cause a tragedy due to the ineffective commander, so he would leave the troops still, he believed that after Mu Chong and Han Lingyue entered the city, they would definitely lead people to help him.

While Wen Xuan was in a dilemma, Wang Baobao was actually riding a tiger.

He had the heart to avenge his father, and defeated the Red Turban General Wen Xuan in front of the battle, but his father Li Chahan's injuries were too serious, and if he was not treated in time, he would probably hurt his life.

On the one hand, Wang Baobao sent people to urge Li Siqi to come to help immediately, and on the other hand, he sent a large number of elites to escort Li Chahan's retreat, so the attack was suspended, and the soldiers on both sides were able to rest for a while.

After sending someone to count the number of people, Wen Xuan was extremely remorseful in his heart, just after this battle, the casualties on the side of the Red Turban Army were about 3,000.

It's not been an hour! Three thousand lives!

Wen Xuan sighed again and again, he really understood the truth that thousands of troops are easy to get and hard to find.

The two sides rested across a sea of corpses and blood, but the ears were still heard by the continuous screams.

This is a real battlefield, and although countless soldiers have survived, their stumps and severed arms have been discarded in blood forever.

They wail over pain, but they also feel deeper pain and fear because of their worries about the future.

As the saying goes, if the generals can't overcome these terrible scenes first, then it means despair for their own soldiers.

Wen Xuan was originally a person who was used to life and death fights, and he thought he was cold-blooded and mean, but when he caused so many more casualties for no reason because of himself, he blamed himself in his heart.

He knew that if he continued to fight, the consequences would only get worse, so he called a more astute shadow guard and instructed him to negotiate with Wang Baobao on his behalf, and agreed that the two sides would cease fighting today.

Wang Baobao was reluctant to withdraw from the army, but the actual situation made him a little uneasy, he knew better than anyone how difficult it was for his father to gather so many men.

Although he is sure that he will eat all the Red Turban Army in front of him, it is difficult to accept the casualties of his own troops.

His own people have been cultivated with great difficulty, but those red scarf thieves on the opposite side can get out tens of thousands of people everywhere!

What's more, he and his father are not from the court now, and they don't have half the credit for winning, but it's hard to make up for their defeat!

Wang Baobao was reluctant to make this loss-making deal, so when Wen Xuan proposed a truce, he gave a positive answer.

When the entire army of the two sides retreated, Mu Chong and Li Siqi also arrived with reinforcements almost at the same time to cover their own men's withdrawal from the battlefield.

The Red Turban Army retreated into Xuzhou City, and the Yuan Dynasty volunteers withdrew from the camp for twenty miles.

This battle undoubtedly sounded the alarm for Wen Xuan, after entering the city, he ignored the rest, immediately analyzed the seriousness of the matter, and opened the city gate with the consent of Han Lingyue and Sesame Li, stating that the Yuan soldiers were about to attack, and he was worried that the affected people could flee immediately.

Such a righteous act attracted the praise of the old and young women and children in the city, and a small half of the people fled with their families, but fortunately, Wang Baobao and others, who were responsible for the siege of Xuzhou, did not embarrass these people, nor did they take this opportunity to attack Xuzhou.

Half a day after the gates were opened, they began to be closed, and the Red Turban troops stationed in nearby states and counties were gradually ordered to withdraw to the city.

Wen Xuan led people to make arrows overnight, Mu Chong led people to move the stones to the city, Sesame Li counted the soldiers and horses to arrange defense, and Han Lingyue personally appeased the defenders in the city...... The whole city of Xuzhou is a stormy appearance.

Ten days later, in the beginning of August of the twelfth year.

The prime minister of the Yuan court, Toto, who was personally in command, finally arrived at the border of Henan, and because Tokhtar attached great importance to this war of his reputation, he strictly ordered officials in all parts of the country along the way not to greet him in a big way, so the army was able to move so quickly.

On the day of his arrival, he personally brought local officials of all sizes to greet him.

After the feast, the resolute and resolute Tokhoff sent a group of subordinates to return to the yamen to serve, leaving Tai Buhua and other important personnel to interrogate.

I don't spend much time knowing Totoku's hearty character, and the audience is all Totoku's henchmen, so he doesn't go around and around when he talks, and he talks about everything he has learned since he took office.

After hearing this, he was both relieved and angry, and he was relieved that he was fortunate that Tai Buhua stabilized the situation, and he was angry that everyone led by Ye Xian and Lao Zhang was so bold that he had not truthfully reported the criticality of the battle situation to himself until now.

Ruzhong Bai, who came with the army, saw that Tai Buhua had said enough, coughed lightly and gave him a look, signaling him to talk more about nice things.

Tai Buhua got the hint and turned the topic back to Xuzhou from the battle situation in various places, and once again stated the hatefulness of the red turban thief and the importance of Xuzhou City.

Totoku nodded and asked bluntly: "In your opinion, how sure is it that Xuzhou will be calmed down this time?" ”

Too unsmiling: "If you go to attack with a humble position, you can only say that you are seven or eight percent sure, but if the prime minister leads the army to go in person, there is ten percent certainty that this battle will conquer Xuzhou!" ”

Everyone laughed when they heard this, and their mood also improved: "It seems that this time you are completely prepared to send a letter inviting me to take this great credit!" ”

Tai Buhua smiled and said nothing, and Ru Zhongbai saw the stitches and said: "Although the Taiwei has cleaned up these thieves in order, these thieves have been in trouble for a long time after all, and it is up to you to draw the finishing touch to help re-establish the prestige of the imperial court." ”

Tokhtar nodded, and immediately gave the order, saying that he would personally lead the elite to attack Xuzhou in three days, and the other troops would act cheaply and cooperate with Toto.

The news of Totokh's personal departure soon spread all over the north and south of the river, and the Red Turban Army in the north and south were all shaken, knowing that the Yuan court had used the most tough means of suppression, and they were all concerned about the situation in Henan.

Sheng Wenyu has already assumed the post of deputy marshal of the Red Turban Army under Liu Futong as planned, nominally helping Du Zundao to clamp down on Liu Futong, but in fact, he helped Liu Futong take charge of several main forces behind his back according to the instructions of Wen Xuan and Han Lingyue.

Xuzhou was in danger, Luo Wensu and Mao Gui immediately planned to lead troops back to help, but Sheng Wenyu took out the second letter prepared earlier at this time, the letter contained Han Lingyue and Wen Xuan's own handwriting, explaining in advance that Xuzhou could no longer be defended, and told them not to act rashly, and to follow Liu Futong to wait for the opportunity to move, to retain the main force of the Northern Red Turban Army to the greatest extent.

Wen Xuan, who was in the center of this dark cloud, stood at the head of the city and looked into the distance, waiting for the arrival of this storm.
