As long as Yuan Shao is willing, after returning to Jizhou, he can form a team of soldiers and horses again, and after having a thunderbolt, the Jizhou army can completely capture Qingzhou at a smaller cost, and Hanoi is even more less worried.

After rushing out of the West Gate, the wolf cavalry encountered the Jizhou army in ambush, and after a fight, the wolf cavalry calmly withdrew from the battlefield, and the Jizhou army lacked cavalry, so it could only watch the wolf cavalry go away with Yan Liang.

Soon after leaving the city, Zhang Liao woke up from his coma and saw a wolf knight galloping on his horse, Zhang Liao asked in a hoarse voice, "Why is General Ben here?" ”

"General, after the Jizhou army broke through the north gate, it was General Zhang Wu who knocked the general unconscious, and ordered the inferior people to escort the general to Chaoge." A general said truthfully.

Zhang Liao was silent for a long time: "Where is Zhang Wu?" ”

"When he left, General Zhang Wu was blocking the Jizhou army in the city."

Zhang Liao sighed, knowing that Zhang Wu must be fierce and auspicious, "This time I failed to hold Dangyin City, it was all the fault of this general, and when I saw the Marquis of Jin, this general would ask for guilt." ”

The general said: "Dangyin City was broken, and the general did his best, the Jizhou army is strong, and it is not the general's fault." ”

"Defeat is defeat." Zhang Liaodao.

"General, a group of soldiers and horses has appeared in front of you, under the banner of the state army." A scout hurried over and shouted.

Zhang Liao was a warning in his heart, this place is not very far from Dangyin, and he has to guard against "go forward and ask who the soldiers and horses are, don't get close, if there is something wrong, return immediately." ”

"Whoa." Several scouts took the order.

When the two teams met, the first thing they encountered was naturally the scout, seeing that the other party was the uniform of the Bingzhou army, the scout sent by Xu Huang kept a distance of an arrow and asked, "Who are you?" ”

"In the lower state, the wolf rider is long."

"Wolf riding? The wolf rider should be in the city at this time. The scout was puzzled and hurried back to the army to make a report.

After confirming the identity of the other party, Xu Huang saw Zhang Liao with a haggard face.

"General Zhang." Xu Huang had not been in the state army for a long time, and his status was definitely inferior to Zhang Liao, so he hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

Zhang Liao replied with a salute and said: "The Jizhou army has broken through Dangyin City, and General Xu should order the soldiers to return to Chaoge and beware of Jizhou soldiers and horses." ”

Xu Huang's face changed slightly, after he received Lu Bu's order, he rushed to Chaoge non-stop, and immediately led the soldiers to Dangyin, which was only half a day's journey away from Dangyin at most, but he didn't expect Dangyin to be lost, if the defenders in the city could hold out for half a day, they would be able to hold Dangyin.

Xu Huang saw that Zhang Liao's mood was not high, and it was inconvenient to ask again, so he hurriedly ordered the army to rush to Chaoge.

After returning to Chaoge, Zhang Liao wrote down the story of the battle and ordered the horse to be passed to Lu Bu.

In the Taishou Mansion in Hedong, Lu Bu was also shocked when he learned that the Jizhou army had broken through Dangyin, although Dangyin was a small city, there were 5,000 Bingzhou troops in the city.

Although Yuan Shao has 30,000 people, it is not easy to break through the Dangyin, after reading Zhang Liao's letter, Lu Bu did not say anything, the Jizhou army actually used the bed crossbow to suppress the defenders of the Dangyin, no wonder it was able to break through the Dangyin City, compared to the thunderbolt, the shooting of the bed crossbow is more accurate, and the speed of the launch is also faster, and Yuan Shao has 30,000 soldiers and horses, under the suppression of the bed crossbow, it can greatly limit the defenders in the city, so that it is reasonable that the Bingzhou army with the benefits of the city and the thunderbolt car was broken by the Jizhou army.

What made Lu Bu most angry was that more than 4,000 soldiers of the Bingzhou Army were buried in the Yin City, and the 5,000 soldiers led by Zhang Liao were all the elite of the Bingzhou Army, and the training was extremely difficult.

More than 4,000 soldiers were killed on the battlefield except for those who were wounded and captured, and the tragic death of Zhang Wu, the deputy commander of the wolf cavalry, deeply stimulated Lu Bu, and these soldiers told him that they were loyal to Bingzhou.

Jia Xu frowned and pondered for a long time after reading the letter, "My lord, the state army has suffered heavy losses in Dangyin, and the army is not able to attack Chang'an at this time, if it is not possible to calm Hedong, return to the army for the time being, and attack Chang'an in the future, the Jizhou soldiers are full of food, Yuan Shao has the ambition to capture Hanoi, if the lord withdraws his troops, the Jizhou army will see that it is unprofitable, and he will inevitably retreat." ”

After Anyi and Wenxi broke down one after another, the rest of the counties in Hedong threw themselves into the annexation of the prefectures, and only after the officials of the annexation of the prefectures arrived in Hedong, the policy of annexing the prefectures could be fully implemented.

"Wenhe, more than 4,000 soldiers of the Bingzhou army died in the battle in Dangyin City, Ben Hou will not rest on this side, and ordered Chen Lan to lead 3,000 soldiers and horses to guard Dayang, and ordered Zhao Yun to train 10,000 soldiers outside Huguan to rush to Anyi, led by Zhao Yun to guard Anyi, and Wei Yan temporarily guarded Wenxi." Lu Bu said slowly.

Jia Xu also knew that Lu Bu was angry, the loss of more than 4,000 soldiers was a huge loss for the Bingzhou army, unlike the princes' soldiers and horses, the standing soldiers and horses of the Bingzhou army were only 50,000, plus the 10,000 soldiers that Zhao Yun had just formed recently, there were only 60,000 people, and the territory of Bingzhou was too large at this time, although there were many defenders scattered in various places, but there were not many people who could really use them.

"The lord, the state also needs to be conscripted, there are four counties of Youzhou under the rule of the lord, and now with the addition of Hanoi and Hedong, the number of soldiers is very insufficient." Jia Xu persuaded.

Lu Bu nodded, "The matter of conscription, when Benhou returns to Jinyang, the current thing is to drive the Jizhou army out of Hanoi, so that Jizhou understands that attacking Hanoi will have to pay the corresponding price, Yuan Benchu is like this, don't blame Benhou for being ruthless." ”

Jia Xu saw that Lu Bu's expression was firm, although he felt that something was wrong, he did not say anything against it, he understood the status of the Bingzhou Army in Lu Bu's heart, and it can be seen from the treatment of the Bingzhou Army that the princes did not have.

In the state army, although Jia Xu did not dare to guarantee 100% loyalty, there were very few people with dissent.

Within a month, 30,000 Bingzhou troops were gathered in Hanoi, and even the defenders of Huguan were half transferred by Lü Bu, and Jinyang only left 5,000 soldiers and horses to defend it, and after the 35,000 troops were gathered in Hanoi, they came in the direction of Chaoge.

Yuan Shao was greatly shocked when he got the news, and when he attacked Dangyin, he had already felt the belief that he would rather die than surrender from the body of the Bingzhou army, although the Jizhou army had paid the price of nearly 14,000 people.

"Could it be that Lu Bu is crazy?" Yuan Shao muttered, even after capturing Dangyin, the Jizhou army did not have the strength to continue to attack Chaoge, unless a large army was dispatched from Jizhou, but Jizhou had the big trouble of the Montenegrin army, and Yuan Shao did not dare to believe Zhang Yan at such a time.
