Sun Quan, who was chased by Zhang Liao's cavalry to the exhaustion, saw Xu Sheng at this moment, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw. didn't care about any manners, and shouted "Wen Xiang save me", the trembling voice, and the intermittent words all revealed Sun Quan's deep fear at this time. When Sun Quan in history was killed by Zhang Liao in Xiaoyaojin and fled, he was at a loss when he saw the destruction of Xiaoshi Bridge. At that time, Sun Quan had already experienced a lot of battles, but he was still panicked. Today's Sun Quan is naturally even worse.

Zhang Liao's cavalry has been killing in until now, and more than half an hour has passed. The soldiers and horses chasing Sun Quan were also powerless to pursue after being stopped by Xu Sheng's front army. As for Zhou Tai, who was still blocking Zhang Liao, he was already covered in countless wounds at this time, covered in blood, but he was still fighting endlessly. Zhang Liao was lying next to several Jiangdong generals, who originally wanted to help Zhou Tai, but who would have thought that the gap with Zhang Liao was too big, and he didn't even shoot for three rounds, so he became Zhang Liao's ghost. Although Zhou Tai fought endlessly, he also reached the limit. It wasn't until He Qi of the rear army arrived that he could be regarded as saving Zhou Tai's life in Zhang Liao's hands.

It's just that seeing this scene of defeat like a mountain, even if He Qi has been in battle for a long time, he can't help but be a little frightened. Zhang Liao would suddenly kill from the east, which was something that no one expected. But Zhang Liao used 3,000 cavalry to kill nearly 30,000 horses of the Chinese army in half an hour, which was something that He Qi could not imagine no matter what. What's more, Zhou Tai has always been known for his bravery in the army, which is ranked first in the entire Jiangdong, but now he was killed like this in front of Zhang Liao! I always thought that Zhang Liao was just an incompetent person who relied on Gao Ye to ascend to power, but I didn't expect him to have such ability!

It's just that these thoughts just flashed in He Qi's mind, and now that the crisis has not been resolved, He Qi naturally has no heart to continue to think about these boring things, how to take everyone to escape is something He Qi needs to think about. Especially now that the road moves in Guangling City have been killed with a large number of soldiers and horses, if you don't step up the organization of a breakthrough, I am afraid that more than 20,000 soldiers and horses will be left on the north bank by the Cao army!

Zhang Liao's soldiers and horses could inflict such a big blow on the Jiangdong Army, not to mention that He Qi didn't expect it, and even Chen Deng was stunned when he heard about it. I thought that the two armies would fight until the night to determine the winner, but who would have thought that it would only take more than an hour before and after to completely end the battle. When Chen Deng in Guangling Chengli heard that the herald reported that Lu Zhao and the others were cleaning the battlefield, Chen Deng, who had always had a well-in-the-dark face, showed a surprised expression for the first time, and repeatedly confirmed the herald's words. In the face of defeating Sun Quan, slashing 8,000 in battle, capturing more than 10,000 and Zhou Tai and He Qi, the good news had already been sent by Chen Deng to Yingdu.

Speaking of which, He Qi is also a bitter life, Zhou Tai was seriously injured, it is not easy for He Qi to save him, how easy it is to break through with Zhou Tai! He Qi commanded while fleeing with Zhou Tainan, but he didn't expect to run into Zhang Liao's cavalry, which was chasing Sun Quan. There was an obstacle in front, Zhang Liao pursued in the back, and Zhou Tai's oil bottle was beside him, plus the large army of road recruits had arrived. Under this heavy siege, He Qi was forced to order the surrender of the whole army.

The battle under the city of Guangling came to an abrupt end in this way. Most of Zhang Liao's reinforcements didn't even arrive on the battlefield, and the battle was already over. Pulling people out for the New Year is slipping their legs, and they don't even have to take military merits, so how can these soldiers be at peace in their hearts? Zhang Liao knew this, so he let the other cities go, and returned directly to Guangling after meeting the road moves. Chen Deng also knows this, not to mention that the great credit has already been received, and there is no need to take all the other credits in his hands. So the belated reinforcements, before they had time to feel that the battle was over, they were sent by Zhang Liao to recover all the cities north of the Yangtze River.

The stability of the south can be said to be fast, which surprised everyone. When Cao Cao, who had just arrived in Yecheng, got the good news, he was a little stupid. The surprise came too fast and too big, so that Cao Cao couldn't believe his eyes, and he browsed it several times, and then he let out a long breath and handed the good news to Guo Jia beside him, and he himself laughed unabashedly.

The victory in the south may be a small battle for the whole campaign, but it has far-reaching significance for the overall situation. The world's attack originally made some people under Cao Cao panic. Even Cao Cao himself never had much optimism about the current battle situation. For him, both the eastern and southern fronts are mainly defensive, as long as Yuan Shao can be defeated, what kind of losses will be suffered by the other two fronts is within his acceptable range! As long as Yuan Shao can be taken, there will be no great enemy in the north, and he who occupies the Central Plains can be said to be the general trend, and he will be unstoppable to dominate the world!

But who would have thought that Sun Quan on the southern front was so vulnerable, Zhang Liao was only 3,000 cavalry, so he brutally killed tens of thousands of troops under him. The Jiangdong Army was so weak that it was really blind to its worries about the southern front. Thinking that Sun Wentai attacked Wancheng and hit the tiger prison, what a hero; Sun Bofu fought Lujiang and unified the six counties, what a hero. I didn't expect this Sun Zhongmou to be so vulnerable, and he was really embarrassed.

The victory of this battle not only made Zhang Liao's name resounding among the princes of all parties, not only made Chen Deng have the merit of being promoted, but most importantly, this hearty victory suddenly reversed the current situation of Cao Cao's forces a lot, from the previous three-line battle, suddenly became a two-line, which greatly relieved the pressure of material transfer, and also made the unstable military and people's hearts settle down at once. The soldiers from all walks of life suddenly had confidence in the battle situation in front of them. Yuan Shao on the northern front has just been beaten by Cao Cao, and on the western front, there is an invincible high night to deal with Liu Biao and Ma Teng, and now the most reassuring southern front has been victorious, and the victory of this big battle seems to be beckoning to everyone.

When the same war report arrived in Gao Ye's hands, Gao Ye was already ready to leave and rushed to Chang'an to help Xiahou Yuan. He can be said to have rested for ten days on the Jingzhou side, and now Cai Mao finally led the troops to retreat south, and Liu Bei also withdrew his troops back to Xinye, and the whole Jingzhou seemed to be calm overnight. In addition to instructing Zhang Xiu not to take it lightly and guard Wancheng, Gao Ye's heart flew to Chang'an. It was also at this time that Guangling's war report reached Gao Ye's hands. In addition to emotion, all that is left is emotion.

Of course, Lu Xun's joy is even more overflowing, his grandfather died at the hands of the Sun family, and now seeing Sun Quan defeated, how can he not be happy? Especially when Lu Xun thought of the turbulent situation that Sun Quan might face when he went back, this joy could no longer linger. Even if he came to discuss with Gao Ye how to deal with the Xiliang Army, he changed his old appearance, and a big smiling face never disappeared!

The military newspapers of the Western Front flew to the desk of Gao Ye like snowflakes every day, but it was Sima Yi and Lu Xun who read the military newspapers specifically. Nominally, Gao Ye wants to exercise the ability of the two, but in fact, Gao Ye is a little lazy, and he throws the matter of reading the military newspaper to the two of them, and he just needs to listen to their summary. For five days, until the army marched to Tongguan, the two were called by Gao Ye to discuss the war.

Sima Yi stood up as always, reported the military situation in Chang'an to Gao Ye, and said, "...... Now from Lixian to the west, all of them have fallen into the hands of the Xiliang army, these places originally had the power of the Xiliang army, although Zhong Fujun held the jurisdiction of these counties in his hands, but as soon as the Xiliang soldiers and horses arrived, eighty percent of these cities were surrendered. General Xiahou had no choice but to deal with the advance of the Xiliang Army near Lixian. General Xiahou's troops are already insufficient, and now that he is resting in martial arts, I am afraid that it will be difficult to support it anymore. The eight generals of the Xiliang Army, Liang Xing, Hou Xuan, Cheng Yin, Li Kan, Zhang Heng, Cheng Yi, Ma Wan, and Yang Qiu, are now looting everywhere in Sili, burning, killing and looting, and Zhong Fujun has taken in no less than 30,000 refugees in recent days. ”

Gao Ye nodded when he heard this, then shook his head and said, "Liang Xing and Hou Xuan, although they claim to be generals, they are actually useless, but they don't have to worry. This Ma Teng and Han Sui are so calculating, Zhong Da, where are the soldiers and horses of Ma Teng and Han Sui now? ”

"Mr. Hui, according to the report from the scouts, the army of Ma Teng and Han Sui has now set off from Yongxian County to kill martial arts."

Gao Ye nodded, and then said: "I didn't expect the war in Chang'an to have reached this point. Zhong Da, Bo Yan, you two talk about it, what do you two think about this battle? ”

This time, it was Lu Xun who opened his mouth and said: "Mr. Hui, I have also discussed it with Brother Zhongda, we feel that General Xiahou cannot continue to fight anymore, it is better to return to Chang'an directly." Cheng Yin and others burned, killed and looted in Sili, and did all kinds of evil, but they drove the people to Chang'an, which is unreasonable! Brother Zhongda and I both felt that this must be a trick of the Xiliang army, intending to mix their manpower among the people and enter Chang'an. The cavalry is not good at attacking the city, and with the internal response, they can come to an internal response and an external combination, so as to take Chang'an. ”

Gao Ye nodded and said, "Yes, but Zhong Yuanchang is not an ordinary person, he must be able to think of these things, I think he should have a countermeasure at this time to control these people." ”

One after another, he smiled and said: "According to the students' opinion, these people might as well not be caught!" I remember that Mr. once said that there are many factions in the Xiliang Army, and even Ma Teng and Han Sui are not of the same mind, so the students think that if they want to defeat the Xiliang Army, they should be divided into words! ”

Seeing Gao Ye's inquiring gaze, Sima Yi added on the side: "Brother Boyan's intention is actually to say that there is no need to deal with these people, it is better to have a plan and give Chang'an to the Xiliang Army." In this way, the Xiliang army will inevitably be in chaos, just like the coalition army under the Tiger Prison back then. Saying that, Sima Yi also arched his hand and said: "It's just that the students think that Chang'an doesn't have to let it, Yi has a plan, or he can defeat the Xiliang army." It's just General Xiahou Yuan, I'm afraid I'm going to suffer a little crime. ”
