For a time, the rebel army was greatly reduced, 100,000 troops, in five days, half of them were reduced, and the rest were also panicked.

However, there were many fewer voices against Chen Ying in the army, and on the fifth day, the Shanyue rebels who were under key care were reduced by more than 1,000 people, which was already nearly half of the Shanyue people in the 100,000-strong army.

At the beginning, he shouted the most powerful Zhu Laosan, died under the cavalry of the tiger horse, and he was pitiful for some second-rate martial arts, and before he could perform, he was frightened by the overwhelming cavalry rushing into battle, and was picked up by a gun, and died without military achievements.

The rebels, who were no longer able to be surrounded on all sides, merged together and assembled at the South Gate barracks.

Xiangyang has resumed communication with various places, and in the county office, everyone is gathering together, all of them are absent, one by one, elated, and praising each other.

20,000 breaks 100,000, what a high honor for the participants.

That's when another exciting piece of news came.

"Report! General Huang and General Zhen have taken Zhangling and Caiyang counties, and specially sent me to win, at this time, the two armies are killing all the way to Deng County and Zhonglu according to the plan! ”

Cai Mao stood up, raised the teacup, and touted his future nephew and son-in-law: "What a move to divert the tiger from the mountain, and then besiege it, the rebels are 300,000, and 200,000 have been defeated by Cao's rebellion, and now the rebel counties are empty."

Zhao Ci has 100,000 elites in Jiangling, and if he goes out of the city, he will face an ambush and be surrounded, and with a disadvantage of 100,000 to 200,000, if he does not go out of the city, dozens of cities occupied by the rebels will fall into our hands! ”

After saying Cai Mao, as if drinking fine wine, she drank the tea in one gulp.

Cao "Xing" also raised the teacup, drank it in one gulp, and looked at everyone with a smile: "Congratulations to everyone, congratulations to the county magistrate and the chief bookkeeper!" ”

"Thank you Mr. Huanglong for cultivating, happy and happy!"

Everyone was happy in their hearts, and they raised their teacups one by one, as if they were drinking real fairy wine, and they were refreshed with a cup of wine.

"But remember where these official positions come from! There is a report and a return, in order to last! ”

Cai Mao reminded.

Everyone said yes after another.

Everything was as Cai Mao predicted, Huang Gai and Cao Zhen went south left and right, and there were only more than 1,000 old and weak rebels left in each city, and basically there was no resistance, and they fell into the hands of Cao's army.

In Xiangyang City, a team of warriors and powerful convoys rushed to these counties that had just been recaptured.

Chen Ying, who was unable to return to the sky, chose to retreat, and when the 50,000 army broke out of the encirclement of Huang Gai and Cao Zhen, only 20,000 troops who were most loyal to Chen Guo and the others remained.

The rest all fell into the hands of Cao Jun.

In Jiangling City, Zhao Ci, who was obsessed with power, wealth, and enjoyment, woke up, but the general trend was gone and could not be recovered.

The hearts of the people in the city were in turmoil, and there were deserters every day, even if Zhao Ci ordered people to close the city gates, because, many times, the rebels defending the city directly put down the hanging baskets and fled out of the city.

When Chen Ying returned to Jiangling, the remaining 100,000 rebels had lost more than 20,000 non-combat troops.

Zhao Ci looked at Chen Guo and the others who were still following him, it was called a regret, and he took Chen Ying's hand and cried: "Regret shouldn't be at the beginning, regret shouldn't be despised Mr.!" ”

Chen Ying persuaded with good words: "General, now that the war has been lost, Jiangling cannot be defended, let's wait to cross the river in the south!" Fortunately, we have captured a number of ships from Jiangling Wharf, as long as we take advantage of the carelessness of Cao's naval division at night, we will have a chance to make a comeback! ”

Zhao Ci faced Chen Ying with this "good strategy", and he was moved.

At night, Zhao Ci gave up Jiangling and led an army of 100,000 to the dock.

But the distance from Gangneung City to the inland river wharf is more than ten miles, walking and walking, first the length of the torch ocean is getting shorter and shorter, and then the two sides also begin to become thinner, and sometimes there is a phenomenon of extinguishing in pieces, and the number begins to decrease and decrease, not to save firewood, but to carry fewer people to carry torches.

Most of the Shanyue generals were concentrated in the Chinese army to protect Zhao Ci, and most of the ordinary Han generals on the front and back sides supervised by themselves.

When he arrived at the dock, Zhao Ci stood at the bow of the ship and looked at it, and was suddenly a little dumbfounded, according to the estimate of the torch area, there were at least 30,000 people.

Zhao Ci was helpless in his heart, so he could only admit it with tears.

The ships were limited, and the remaining 70,000 troops had to be divided into three teams, who was the front team and who was the rear team, but they did not pay any attention at all.

I want to be the first to cross the river, but I am afraid that I will meet Cao Jun, and when I hang in the lonely river, there is nowhere to escape, and I will go first, whether the two or two teams behind will follow me, it is a problem to cross the river, just a few quarters of an hour, there will be 30,000 troops who betrayed him, and the rear army is also easy to be discovered by Cao Jun, let alone choose.

Zhao Ci was once again in a dilemma, where did his hungry brain have this experience and talent.

This time Chen Cai came to Zhao Ci:

"General, it's better for me to take the lead, try to see if I can 'touch' across the river, you can be in the middle of the army again, and Mr. Chen and Mr. Guo will cross the river with their troops, and then leave five thousand loyal Shanyue soldiers to monitor the rear army across the river, so as to avoid desertion!"

There are 70,000 people left, 20,000 are Chen Guo's two-person tribes, and 5,000 are Chen Cai's tribes, and Chen Cai, as a Shanyue person, is generous and generous, and among the Shanyue soldiers, the personnel are excellent.

Such a powerful newcomer made Zhao Ci have to pay attention to it, and after thinking about it again, he felt that it could only be so.

Zhao Ci, who woke up from the enjoyment, praised without hesitation: "Good! Chen Cai, I can't imagine that there is a wise general like you in my Shanyue, you were buried before, after crossing the river this time, you will be reused! ”

"Thank you, General!" Chen Cai returned the salute.

But on his face, Zhao Ci didn't feel very happy no matter how he looked at it, and sighed helplessly.

Chen Cai led more than 20,000 people to smuggle across the river, and Zhao Ci, who was on the sidelines, excitedly stepped on the boat after the boat returned, and Chen Ying, Guo Shi and most of the generals were in the same boat with him.

From the Jiangling Wharf on the north bank of the river, the boat went to the ferry port on the south bank of the river, but more than ten miles of waterway, which frightened Zhao Ci and the whole person was scared, running up and down on the bow of the boat, kneeling on the ground from time to time to ask for the blessing of the gods, and this god is the belief of the Shanyue people to work with the god of water, and his subordinate gods will be the hydra.

The generals saw his cowardly performance, and secretly disappointed in their hearts, so that many people blamed Zhao Ci for the failure of the uprising.

Chen Ying, who was not alarmed, and Guo Shi, who was still busy cheering for everyone at this time, were in stark contrast to Zhao Ci.

Just as they were approaching the ferry port on the south bank, the fleet of Cao Jun's sailors came out overwhelmingly, and shouts came from afar: "Catch Zhao Ci!" Bounty of one hundred! ”
