As soon as night fell, Liu Xie waved his army to kill Yuan Shao's main camp, and Yuan Shao hurriedly responded to the battle.

Liu Xie was sure to win this battle, so before launching the attack, he sent people to gather Han troops from other places and besiege them together tonight.

When his 30,000 Han troops rushed into Yuan Shao's main camp, Huang Zhong, Xu Huang, and Cao generals such as Xiahou Dun and Liu Bei generals such as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were also killed one after another.

Yuan Shao's army was in chaos, morale was low, there was no fighting spirit, scattered and fled, and was defeated!

Yuan Shao didn't have time to put on his armor, hugged his young son Yuan Shang, and fled in a hurry, Xiahou Yuan Xu Chu and other Cao Cao generals fought hard to chase and kill, and chased them all the way to the Yellow River.

Yuan Shao took the defeated soldiers and hurriedly crossed the river, and the gold, silver and jade, and the chariot battle brocade were sprinkled all over the ground.

In the defeat and fled, trampled on each other and died, drowning, countless people died, and only about 1,000 people escaped the Yellow River.

Liu Xie led the army to chase to the Yellow River, ordered to go down, clean up the battlefield, and all the valuables found were confiscated, and they were not allowed to be privately hidden, and those who violated the order were beheaded.

From time to time, Cao Cao demoted the general, and Liu Xie asked people to pass the word that the Han army had always been so strict in governing the army, and the military discipline was strict, and the violators would not be spared, and there was absolutely no room for negotiation.

Seeing the Yellow River rolling and flowing, a soldier escorted General Yuan Fuzhu, and before he could reach him, this Fuzhu began to shout: "Fuzhu will not surrender!" Even if I jump down from the Yellow River and drown, I will never surrender! ”

Because of his outspokenness, he offended many people, was framed, and was imprisoned by Yuan Shao.

When Yuan Shao fled, he didn't have time to take care of him, so he left him behind and let the Han army capture him.

Liu Xie knew that he was a loyal man and couldn't bear to kill him, but he needed to wake him up with words, so he got off the horse, came to him, dragged him to the Yellow River, and said, "Aren't you going to jump into the Yellow River and die?" I tell you, it's easy for you to die, how many people will scold you behind your back? Disloyalty and filial piety, right and wrong are not distinguished. ”

Frustrated, his head held high.

Liu Xie said again: "I and King Hongnong, who is the real emperor, can't you see? Even if you can't see it, you can't see who is more suitable to be the emperor. Forget it, I don't bother to tell you. If you want to jump, then how can it be fulfilled for you? But I heard that Yuan Shao ran out of food, and you haven't eaten for several days while in prison, right? Must be hungry, right? Death doesn't make you a starving ghost. Come here, give two catties of cooked mutton to Frustrate, send him on the road, eat enough, and he is not tired on the Huangquan Road! ”

A soldier brought mutton for Fu Zhi to eat, but Fu Zhu still raised his head and looked arrogant in his clothes.

"Afraid that this mutton is poisonous? You're going to die anyway, drowned or poisoned, it's all one death. ”

Only then did he speak: "Why don't you dare? I eat! ”

Liu Xie ordered someone to loosen his ties, and he picked up the cooked mutton and devoured it happily.

While he was eating, Liu Xie asked, "Do you have a father?" Do you have a wife? Have children? ”

He didn't answer, and in the blink of an eye, he had eaten most of the mutton, his mouth full of oil and burping.

Liu Xie asked again: "How does it taste?" ”

"It smells so good."

Liu Xie laughed, looked at him in a daze, and suddenly knelt down and cried bitterly: "The criminal minister is frustrated, confused for half a lifetime, today I have to meet Mingjun, I am willing to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and beg Your Majesty not to kill!" ”

Liu Xie helped him up and said, "I didn't plan to kill you in the first place!" ”

Since then, he has been frustrated and returned to the Han Dynasty.

In the original history, Cao Cao fought against Yuan Shao, and was captured by Cao Cao, and he did not surrender until his death, and was finally killed by Cao Cao.

In the current history, Fu Zhu was captured by Liu Xie, how could Cao Cao compare with Liu Xie, one was an anti-minister, and the other was a Ming Jun, so Fu Zhu had no reason not to surrender.

Liu Xie also assured him that he would break through Yuan Shao as soon as possible and rescue his family in Jizhou.

To the south of the Yellow River, everything was calmed, and Liu Xie ordered the Han troops from all over the country to assemble on the south bank as soon as possible, and prepare to cross the river to the north to attack Jizhou within three days.

As for the countless dead and wounded and homeless people in the Guandu area, Liu Xie sent an order to Luoyang and ordered Wang Yun to organize manpower to pacify and pick up the materials scattered all over the place.

Call on the refugees to return to their homes and rebuild.

On the second day, most of the Han troops scattered in Guandu were assembled, totaling 460,000 troops. In addition, Yuan Shao surrendered more than 300,000 troops. Together, nearly 800,000.

And at this time, Guo Jia suddenly became seriously ill, which was what Liu Xie was worried about. In the original history, this Guo Jia died on the way to Yuan Shao during the Northern Expedition.

However, there was a miracle doctor Zhang Zhongjing in the barracks, and Liu Xie personally went to visit Guo Jia and asked Zhang Zhongjing to treat him.

I saw Guo Jia lying on the sickbed, his face was yellow, and his high fever did not go away.

Seeing Liu Xie coming to visit, Guo Jia cried and said: "I just returned to Your Majesty, I wanted to show my ambitions, but I didn't expect to be seriously ill, I am afraid that I will not be able to serve Your Majesty in the future, and I feel so sorry." ”

Liu Xie said: "Fengxiao doesn't have to worry, there is a divine doctor Zhang, you, if you don't do it, you will be fine." ”

Zhang Zhongjing looked at it and said: "This is a typhoid disease, and some soldiers in the army are also sick. But it doesn't matter, there are ministers, it's not a thing. Your Majesty, the minister suggested that all the sick soldiers should be left behind and the ministers should be treated one by one. And Lord Guo's illness needs to be treated slowly, recuperate, and cannot march on horseback, so he must stay. ”

Liu Xie asked, "How long will it take?" ”

Zhang Zhongjing said: "The disease is fierce, and it will take at least a month to recover." ”

Liu Xie said: "Then Fengxiao is here to recuperate with peace of mind, and when Yuan Shao is pacified, I will come to see you again." ”

After condolences to Guo Jia, Liu Xie returned to the imperial camp, and received good news from the rear, Diao Chan successfully gave birth to a dragon and phoenix fetus, the mother and child are safe, please Liu Xie give the name.

It happened that Liu Xie convened the generals in the imperial camp to discuss the military deployment, and the generals congratulated one after another.

Liu Xie said: "Since it is a dragon and phoenix fetus, then call it Liu Long, Liu Feng." ”

And let people meet in Luoyang overnight to pass the decree and give the name.

Liu Xie looked at the generals under the tent, and sighed in his heart, now that he finally has so many generals today.

Guo Jia was seriously ill, and Chen Gong naturally became the first strategist, and immediately took advantage of the victory to go north to pursue Yuan Shao.

Liu Xie said: "Gongtai, you and Fengxiao coincide, and I also have this intention." But we can't attack with all the troops, now we have 460,000 Han troops and 330,000 Yuan Shao's troops, which together are 790,000, which is almost 800,000. There are too many people, and we are likely to go deep into Liaodong in order to pursue Yuan Shao, so it will be difficult for us to keep up. ”

Chen Gong said: "In the opinion of the ministers, it is enough to bring half of the people." ”

Liu Xie said: "There can't be too few people, this Yuan Shao has a problem, he likes to drive the people in front wherever he goes, so we want more people, and we have to set off the morning after tomorrow at the latest." This time, we chose 300,000 elite cavalry in the front, 100,000 baggage and logistics in the back, and the remaining 60,000 Han troops mixed with 33 surrender troops scattered and stationed in Tuntian. ”
