After a booze celebration, in the afternoon of the next day, Su Zhe led the victorious army back to the south.

In this battle of Guandu, although he broke Yuan Shao and reversed the balance of strength between the two sides, he was also at the end of his strong crossbow, not to mention that the physical strength of the soldiers was exhausted to the limit, and the grain and grass were approaching.

At this time, even if he wanted to take advantage of the victory to cross the Yellow River and pacify Hebei, he was powerless.

So, he led the army to Xu Du, and told the soldiers to rest and recuperate, and after accumulating enough grain and grass, he would launch a northern expedition to destroy Yuan.

After this battle, Su Zheshi was killed and wounded no more than 10,000 people, but the number of Hebei prisoners captured was as many as 40,000 or 50,000.

Su Zhe left the strong among them, and the rest of the sick and disabled people who lost their combat effectiveness were all sent back to Hebei.

The remnants of these wounds are only a waste of money and food, let them go back, and they can also use their mouths to promote Su Zhe's grace of not killing, so as to incite the hearts of Hebei people to turn their backs.

A few days later, Su Zhe's army returned to the Guandu Fortress.

At this moment, the thousands of soldiers who remained behind had already begun to be ordered to dismantle the fortifications in the fortress and refill the ditches to open up the north-south road.

For Su Zhe, after this war, Yuan Shao was no longer able to go south, and he naturally did not need the Guandu barrier to defend Xudu.

When he stepped into the half-demolished camp gate, Su Zhe suddenly thought of something, and said to Zhang He beside him: "Junyi, I almost forgot that there is an old colleague of yours in this camp, this person is arrogant and tight, and he will not surrender even if he dies, so it is better for you to persuade him for me." ”

"Colleague?" Zhang He was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized, "What the prime minister said, could it be that Ju Yi?" ”

"It's him, this guy is a tough guy." Su Zhe nodded, smiling a little helplessly.

Zhang He sighed: "The prime minister doesn't know, Ju Yi is the hero of the Battle of Jieqiao, and this battle can also be said to be the key to Yuan Shao's defeat of Gongsun Zhan, so since that battle, Ju Yi became famous in the first battle, and he was a little arrogant, so he was gradually snubbed by Yuan Shao, such a self-confident person, of course, it was not easy to make him surrender." ”

"I see." Su Zhe nodded, "This person is quite talented, I appreciate it, you can try to help me summon him, it's really not good, I can only kill him." ”

The sentence "Kill him", Su Zhe's tone was understated, but it revealed a fierce murderous intent, which made Zhang He's heart shudder.

He immediately threw up his hand: "If this is the case, then the general will try his best." ”

At that moment, Zhang He received Su Zhe's order, and went straight to the cell where Ju Yi was held.

Behind the ramparts, in the dimly lit prison, Ju Yi was sitting in the cell, looking at the sky that could only be seen outside the iron window.

"It's been ten days since there was any movement, could it be that he really won?" Juyi, who had been out of his mind for a long time, muttered to himself.

He didn't know what was going on outside.

Because Su Zhe strictly ordered anyone to talk to Ju Yi, let alone reveal the slightest news of the battle situation outside, Ju Yi knew nothing about the battle outside the prison, let alone knew that Su Zhe had broken Yuan Shao and won the decisive battle of Guandu.

But Ju Yi was not stupid, at that dawn ten days ago, he suddenly heard an unprecedented earth-shattering sound from the north, which lasted for a whole morning, so he speculated that the two armies of Yuan and Su had engaged in the fiercest battle since the beginning of the war.

It's just that after the earth-shattering killing sound was gone, there was no movement for ten consecutive days.

Driven by curiosity, Ju Yi asked the prison guard who delivered the food several times, but all he got was silence, and the more this happened, the more he couldn't wait to know what was going on outside.

Unfortunately, he couldn't do anything but speculate and be anxious in this small cell.

While he was in a daze, suddenly, the cell creaked open.

Outside the door walked a figure, standing in the shadow of the cell door, unable to see his face.

Ju Yi was not interested in seeing him clearly, and shouted impatiently: "Get out of here, if you don't tell Lao Tzu about the war outside, Lao Tzu won't eat from today." ”

"Hunger is very painful, Brother Ju are really sure you can bear it." There was a hint of sarcasm in the man's tone.

Ju Yi's body was shocked, and he looked at the "prison guard" with a look of surprise.

It was the first time he had been spoken to since he was captured, and the voice seemed familiar.

"Who are you?" He jumped to his feet and shouted.

Zhang He in the shadows slowly stepped forward, and Ju Yi was only separated by an iron fence, facing each other.

"Ju-Ju-Ju?" Ju Yi's face changed suddenly, and he was taken aback, obviously he didn't expect Zhang He to appear here.

Zhang He smiled faintly: "Ju Yi, I haven't seen you for a long time, I brought wine, why don't you drink a few glasses." ”

Zhang He showed a pot of wine from behind him, poured a full glass, walked through the iron fence, and handed it to Ju Yi.

Ju Yi didn't answer, and asked excitedly: "Zhang Junyi, why are you here?" Could it be that the lord has won? ”

"It's a pity, I disappointed Brother Ju." Zhang He sighed softly, "Yuan Gong has been defeated by Prime Minister Su Cheng, and fled back to Hebei in embarrassment. ”

Ju Yi's body shook violently, he took three steps back, his mouth opened wide in shock, and his face was distorted and deformed.

After a while, he recovered from the shock and roared urgently: "How is this possible, Yuan Gong's army of more than 100,000 people, and the grain and grass are far superior to Su Zhe, how can he be defeated?" ”

Zhang He sighed: "It seems that you have been locked up here for so long, you really don't know what's going on outside, okay, I'll tell you." ”

Next, Zhang He explained how Su Zhe burned the black nest, burned Yuan Shao's grain and grass, how Yuan Shao collapsed when the grain was exhausted, and was attacked by Su Zhe in five ways, and fled in defeat.

Ju Yi's face gradually turned pale, his eyes rolled with disbelief, and he sat down tremblingly, unable to calm down for a long time.

After he was shocked for a long time, he gritted his teeth and said: "Duke Yuan is the number one prince in the world, the army of 200,000 is going south, and he has the advantage, and he will lose to Su Zhe, this, this ......"

He was so frightened that he didn't know what to say.

Zhang He said silently: "Su Cheng is a martial artist, full of tricks, and can call the wind and rain, but Yuan Shao is indecisive, infighting, and a mortal fetus, how can he not be defeated by Prime Minister Su Cheng." ”

Ju Yi's body was shocked again, and he couldn't help but fall into silence, and he lost his mind for a long time before he sighed bitterly: "That Su Zhe is worthy of being the head of the Nine Wonders, when he is a Wolong, Yuan Gong is wide on the outside and jealous on the inside, and he is indecisive, he is indeed not Su Zhe's opponent, since the defeat in the Battle of Yanjin, he is destined to lose to Su Zhe." ”

Finally, this famous Hebei general also recognized Su Zhe's strength.

In the next second, he suddenly thought of something, and looked up at Zhang He suddenly: "Duke Yuan's army was defeated, why did you appear here?" ”

Zhang He did not hide it, and said calmly: "I have returned to Prime Minister Su, and now I am on the order of Prime Minister Su to come and surrender to you, Brother Ju, Prime Minister Su is the master of the mandate of heaven, destined to calm the world, surrender to him." ”
