Yan Liang had suffered the loss of the Yellow Turban Army, and this time he became cautious in using his troops, just giving Zhang Ningjun time to retreat, and when he led the army to the periphery of Xiu County, there was no trace of the Yellow Turban Army in Xiu County.

Although Zhang Fei had few soldiers, he was not idle, he saw that the Yellow Turban Army had left the city, so he sent spies to inquire about the news, and saw that the Yellow Turban Army had all withdrawn from Xiuxian, and his heart was overjoyed, so he led the army straight to Xiuxian County.
As soon as he arrived near the county seat, he saw Yan Liang also waving his army closer, and Zhang Fei ordered a rapid march to enter the city before Yan Liang.
Yan Liang already knew that the Yellow Turban Army had withdrawn, and he also wanted to enter the city as soon as possible, but he was still preempted by Zhang Fei.
When Yan Liang arrived in the city, Zhang Fei had already erected a banner at the head of Xiuxian County.
"Zhang Fei, I am ordered by Bohai Taishou Yuan Fujun (the name of Taishou) to take over Xiuxian, you can withdraw."
"Don't talk nonsense, everything has a reason to come first and come first, Xiuxian is my department to occupy first, and it is you who should be withdrawn!" Zhang Fei shouted.
"Ignorant rats, Xiuxian is under the rule of Yuan Fujun of Bohai County, Jizhou, you are from the Qingzhou Plain, but you came to Jizhou to occupy the city, so you are guilty?"
"Whew! You are under the rule of Bohai County or Jizhou, why don't you ask Jiang Sheng if he agrees to me to occupy the city? ”
"I only recognize Yuan Fujun, what does it have to do with Jiang Sheng?"
"Haha, I only recognize Jiang Yuanjun, what does it have to do with you whether you occupy the city or not?"
Yan Liang was speechless for a moment, and he didn't know how to answer, so he said angrily: "I want to do things, how can I look at other people's faces, can you withdraw?" If you don't, I'll knock you down!" ”
Zhang Fei said: "If you want to fight, you will fight, why bother to say more!" I'd like to see if your teeth are hard! ”
Yan Liang ordered the whole army to retreat five miles and prepare to storm Xiuxian, although Zhang Fei's tone was very hard, but the soldiers and horses under his command were pitiful, and he could only let Yan Liang's army retreat.
Yan Liang saw that Zhang Fei did not move, and analyzed in his heart that Zhang Fei did not have many soldiers, so he sent 2,000 infantry troops to carry out a tentative attack.
Not long after Zhang Fei entered the city, no defense facilities were prepared, and he could only rely on the original materials at the head of the city to defend, but when Zhang Ningjun retreated, he took away most of the arrows, and the tung oil and other things that could not be taken away were also thrown down the city wall, and Zhang Fei could only use rolling wood and stones.
Yan Liang watched the movement of the forward's infantry in the back, and had already entered the range of bows and arrows a lot, and he didn't see Zhang Feijun shooting, which strengthened his opinion in his heart, Zhang Feijun had few soldiers! So he ordered the whole army to attack the city, Zhang Fei was anxious, but there was nothing he could do, so he could only wait for Yan Liangbu to defend when he landed in the city.
Yan Liang did not have a ladder car in the army, so hundreds of ladders were erected on the city wall, the infantry roared and climbed to the ladder, Zhang Fei hurriedly ordered the soldiers to throw rolling wood and stones on the ladder, and smashed the soldiers on the ladder, many ladders were also broken, Yan Liang looked at the defense of the city, judged that Zhang Fei was more than 2,000 people, so he beat the drum and marched, and the whole army rushed to the city at any cost.
Zhang Fei saw that the materials for defending the city at the head of the city were basically exhausted, and the siege troops of Yan Liang's army were still climbing to the head of the city densely, and knew that he could not contain it at all, so he urgently ordered the whole army to retreat from the south gate of the city.
Yan Liangzhi was in the capture of the city, saw Zhang Feijun fleeing, did not pursue, smoothly entered the county seat of Xiuxian, Zhang Fei saw that there was no hope of capturing Xiu County, so he had to lead the army to withdraw to the plain in disgrace, Guan Yu also returned, after confronting Xu Huang for two days, he received a reply from Liu Bei without reinforcements, and could only retreat quickly, and he withdrew to the plain intact after entering Jizhou without fighting.
Liu Bei saw that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had withdrawn, so he had to give up the idea of expanding his territory and honestly develop himself in the plains.
Let's say that Zhang Ning waved his army west, and when he arrived at the Montenegrin army camp in Deguangchuan, he saw chaos in the Montenegrin army camp, so he beat drums and attacked.
Those Montenegrin troops found the body of the leader of the headquarters, and the whereabouts of the head were unknown, they were all messed up, they didn't know where to go, and they were worried that bad luck would befall them, and they couldn't live in panic. Directly knelt on the ground and begged to surrender.
Seeing this, Zhang Ning couldn't cry or laugh, and then threw the heads of Guo Daxian, Yu Yigen, and Bai Huan over, and those Black Mountain Army officers and soldiers suddenly understood that the daring was done by the Yellow Turban Army, and the awe of Zhang Ning in their hearts arose, what else to fight, hurry up and meet the new leader.
Zhang Ning immediately ordered Zheng Gu and his subordinates to collect these more than 60,000 soldiers of the Montenegrin Army, and the materials transported from Changshan had just arrived, just in time for Zhang Ning's department to receive all of them, and the six assassins of Jiang Shengyue's women's battalion reversed Zhang Ning's situation overnight, and this shock made Zhang Ning have mixed feelings, and he felt a little special about Jiang Sheng in his heart.
The powerful Montenegrin coalition army was quickly removed from the Jizhou Montenegrin army sequence, and the news spread to Changshan, and the leaders of the Montenegrin army, Zuo Xiao, Huang Long, Liu Shi, Tao Sheng, etc., who were originally subordinate to Guo Daxian, returned to the cottage and fell into a state of fighting their own battles.
Jiang Sheng's original intention was just to keep Zhang Ning in order to contain Yuan Shao, but he didn't expect to kill two birds with one stone, not only helped Zhang Ning, but also contributed to the division of the Jizhou Montenegrin Army, the four people with the largest strength in the Montenegrin Army after the split were only 30,000 horses each, and the rest of the small forces were not worth mentioning, and it was imperative to pacify the Montenegrin Army in Jizhou.
Jiang Sheng ordered Yu Ban and Xu Rongbing to divide into two routes, respectively attacking Changshan and Julu counties, and in the overall strategy, they focused on appeasement and resolutely attacked the stubborn and obstinate Montenegrin army.
After Han Fu handed over the state seal ribbon to Jiang Sheng, Jiang Sheng did not treat Han Fu badly, worshiped him as the general of Fenwu, and led the post of Zhao Guoxiang.
Han Fucheng was terrified, and insisted that he would not accept it, Jiang Sheng said: "Brother Wenjie has always been popular, and now he has the name of making a virtuous, the people will love him, I will hand over Zhao Guo to you, we must rectify public security, develop production, and ensure that the people live and work in peace and contentment." ”
Han Fu bowed and said: "The general trusts him so much, Han Wenjie will never live up to the general's trust!" Seeing that Jiang Sheng treated Han Fu so well, the original dissatisfaction in their hearts no longer existed, it seemed that he was a true benevolent.
"We will definitely assist the minister of state and meet the expectations of the envoy. ”
Jiang Sheng said: "Gonghe (frustrated table) don't worry, Geng Wu, Min Chun, and Zhao Fu will go to Zhao State, you, Qinghe Country lacks a prime minister, you go to guard Qinghe Country, Gao Lan, worship you as a partial general, and guard Qinghe Country." ”
Frustrated and flattered, they didn't expect Jiang Sheng to treat Han Fu's old department so kindly, and hurriedly knelt on the ground: "Weichen thank the lord!" ”
Jiang Sheng said: "Qinghe Country and Pingyuan Country are close to each other, you must prevent Liu Bei from attacking, you two have a great responsibility!" ”
Fu Zhi and Gao Ran said in unison: "Please rest assured, lord! Never let outsiders get involved in Qinghe Country for half a step! ”
Originally, the rest of Han Fu's subordinate officials were also entrusted by Jiang Sheng and assigned to serve in various counties and counties, Han Fu saw Jiang Sheng so arranged, he burst into tears of gratitude, and knelt down in front of Jiang Sheng, Jiang Sheng hurriedly helped Han Fu up, and was about to speak, but he heard the guards come to report: "Xun Yu, a native of Yingchuan, asks to see Lord Jun!" ”
