Cao Ren led the army to retreat overnight, leaving only Lu Bu alone to lead thousands of soldiers and horses, when Zong Ze found out that Cao's army moved, he thought twice and decided not to pursue, on the one hand, he was worried about another ambush, on the other hand, Lu Bu's courage was invincible in Picheng. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

It was not until Cao Ren's army retreated that Zong Ze sent people to summon Zong Yu, Zang Ba, Zhang Shun, Zhang Heng and Zhao Sixi to lead their troops back to Xiapi, and began to count the losses and reward them for their merits.

The greatest credit is naturally Zhao Yun and Zong Wei, Zhao Yun single-handedly killed Cao Jun was frightened, and even Lu Bu could only shake his head and sigh at Zhao Yun of the Sevenfold Gentian, and successfully destroyed the enemy's thunderbolt car, which directly caused Cao Cao to be unable to continue the siege; Otherwise, once the thunderbolt continues to bombard like this, I am afraid that the city defense of Xiapi will be completely destroyed, and at that time, without the city defense, I am afraid that it can only enter a fierce street battle, and the final victory or defeat is really unpredictable. Zhao Yun made great contributions, and Wu Liren promoted Zhao Yun from the position of lieutenant to the general of Jianwei.

As for Zong Wei, the surprise attack on Xiahoudun and the attack on Tieshan destroyed the grain and grass of the Cao army, which directly led to the early end of the battle of Xiapi. However, even if Cao Jun continued to stay here, he would not do much, because Wu Liren knew that the battle of Quanjiao was over, and Ran Min and Guo Kan could draw troops to help, as long as they held on for a while, it was inevitable that Cao Jun would fail. In view of this, Wu Liren promoted Zong Wei from lieutenant to general first.

In addition, Zhang Shun and Zhang Heng made great contributions, and the two led the sailors trained by their subordinates to sneak into the water of Yisi in the early spring weather and destroy the enemy's water storage dam, so that Xiapi was not flooded again, which is also one of the strange soldiers prepared by Zong Ze. Zhang Shun and Zhang Heng were respectively named Captain Zhichong and Captain Hengye.

The most losses in troops are naturally the iron-blooded army, and the five thousand iron-blooded troops under Zhao Yun's command, except for the two thousand left behind by Zhao Sixi, and more than 400 people who were mixed into tigers and leopards, all the rest were killed; Jiang's 2,000-strong army was also killed, and Zong's 5,000-strong iron-blooded army was only a little more than 1,000. Nearly 20,000 city defense troops in Xiapi City lost more than 5,000 people in the attack and defense with Cao's army, and the defenders of Xiapi now have less than 20,000 people, which can be regarded as heavy losses. However, the losses of the Cao army were much more than the losses of Wu Liren's defenders, especially the casualties during the siege, and most of the troops under the command of Xu Chu and Xiahoudun were also killed and wounded.

However, there is another person, whose credit is known to few people, and he is the newly acquired Bai Que Bai Yutang. He brought a few eloquent people to Xuchang in person, constantly changing his appearance and spreading rumors, which made Cao Cao return to Xudu ahead of schedule. And the more far-reaching benefit, this matter will definitely exacerbate the contradiction between Liu Xie and Cao Cao in advance, so that Cao Cao can't work together with Liu Xie, and Cao Cao will always be dragged back. As long as Cao Cao's rear is unstable, then he will have more time to develop.

At this time, after capturing Quanjiao, Ran Min, Guo Kan and Wang Shouren mixed the nearly 40,000 troops that had been incorporated into the original iron-blooded army, and the remaining nearly 20,000 people were sent back to Xiapi and mixed into the city defense army and the iron-blooded army in Xiapi to supplement the loss of troops after the Xiapi War.

After the war, Xiapi began to enter a period of reconstruction and restoration, but Chen Qingzhi's attack on Huiji County, which was far away in Wu County, had just begun.

Since Chen Qingzhi broke through the fist and the red whisk girl killed Yan Baihu, Wu County is in the hands of Chen Qingzhi, Wu County has an army of 5,000 led by Chen Wu, which has been trained by Chen Wu, and the original iron-blooded army under the command of Tai Shi Ci fell in love with the white robe because of the white robe broken by the fist on the snowy night, so Chen Qingzhi let the 5,000-strong army still charge in a white robe, and this new iron-blooded army was personally led by Chen Qingzhi. Tai Shi Ci personally commanded the 5,000 soldiers who surrendered from the hands of Quan Yan Baihu, Tian Fu, who was in Haiyan, continued to command the 1,000-person Shenwei army and the newly surrendered 1,000 soldiers, plus the 1,000 troops under Ling Cao in Qiantang County, the total number of troops under Chen Qingzhi's control had reached 18,000. There are only more than 20,000 people under Wang Lang of Huiji County, which makes Wang Lang restless from time to time.

Chen Qingzhi and Tai Shici led their subordinates to enter Qiantang together, and transferred Tian Fu over, and the right envoy of the security red whisk girl naturally came to Chen Qingzhi's side. The two are talented and beautiful, and they are naturally married, plus an unusual experience, they have already fallen in love with each other in their hearts, Chen Qingzhi decided, and after obtaining Huiji County, he asked Wu Liren to marry him.

Chen Qingzhi summoned Tai Shici, Tian Fu, Ling Cao and Zhang Chuchen to discuss how to break through Huiji County.

Zhang Chuchen, the red-whisked girl, used to be a subordinate of Wang Lang of Huiji County, she was quite worried that the people would be implicated in the war, so she was the first to say: "General, Wang Lang is a scholar, in the opinion of his subordinates, it is better to salute before the soldiers, send someone to send a letter first, and know the benefits, if he is willing to surrender, he can continue to understand the duties of Ji Taishou, if he does not obey, and then send troops to attack, so that he can not only obey the will of heaven, but also win the hearts of the people." ”

After listening to the words of the Red Whisk Girl, everyone couldn't help but praise again and again, and even Chen Qingzhi couldn't help but nod and praise: "Zhang You's words are very good, Ling Xu has to be impressed!" Then he said that he would send a letter of persuasion first, and if he did not comply, he would send troops to attack on a certain day. ”

After Wang Lang received Chen Qingzhi's letter, he didn't know how to decide, he knew Chen Qingzhi's ability, and he completely eliminated Yan Baihu in just a few months, and did his best, and his subordinates Tai Shi Ci and Tian Fu were not the courage of ten thousand people.

At this time, there was no one available around Wang Lang, and after the unsuccessful attempt to assassinate Chen Qingzhi, the bearded guest Zhang Lie disappeared, which made Wang Lang puzzled. At this time, the only thing he can rely on is his general Zhou Xin. Wang Lang handed Chen Qingzhi's letter of persuasion to Zhou Xin to take a look, and asked tentatively: "In General Zhou's opinion, can we surrender Chen Xu, you and I have nothing to lose, and at the same time, we can rely on Wu Ming, and we can also ensure the stability of the world." ”

After Zhou Xin finished reading it, he suddenly tore the book and threw it on the ground, looking at Wang Lang who was stunned, Zhou Xin said loudly: "The lord has to listen to Chen Xu'er's rhetoric!" Don't you hear that Danyang is too guarded by Liu Xuan, and after surrendering to Wu Ming, although the name is still Danyang Taishou, but people are imprisoned in Xiapi; Now Chen Deng has been asked to replace his position. As a descendant of Liu Xuan's Han family, he can't protect himself, let alone the lord? Moreover, although Wu Ming is now powerful, he and Cao Cao are mortal enemies, and Cao Cao is now holding the Son of Heaven to order the princes, Wu Ming will be defeated by Cao Cao sooner or later, if he surrenders to Wu Ming, when the army of Cao Gong breaks Wu, where should the lord go? ”

Zhou Xin's words made Wang Lang speechless, he sighed and asked, "With the general's intentions, how should we resist the enemy now?" ”

"It's easy! I heard that Tai Shici and Tian Fu are brave, and the last general is not talented, and they are willing to lead the army to fight with them on the battlefield, if they win by luck, they will naturally be safe; If they are defeated, they will retreat to San'in. Shanyin has plenty of food, no matter how resourceful he Chen Qingzhi is, how brave the soldiers are, it is difficult to break through, so it is a foolproof plan. Zhou Xin said eloquently.
