Gao Yi is the younger brother of Gao Gan, serving as the commander of the Gao Gan army, and his subordinates are in charge of four or five hundred people, because he has followed Gao Gan for a long time, he has experienced some battles and encountered ambushes, he is not in a hurry, he hurriedly asked people to raise their shields, climbed to the hillside, and shouted while climbing: "Brothers, don't panic, the number of enemy troops is not much, we calm down, calmly counterattack, we still have the possibility of victory!" ”

He had just finished saying this when a javelin was projected on his shield.

The javelin, which was more than four feet long, was stuck in his shield, making his movement a little difficult, and he tried to turn his shield sideways and pull out the javelin, exposing his neck.

A crossbow arrow snorted and shot him in the neck impartially, and Yang Yi rolled over and fell to the ground, dying of anger.

The four or five hundred men under his command were originally swarming to climb the hillside, but when he was killed by crossbow arrows, the four or five hundred people were left without a master, and some of them shouted "avenge the tun chief", but they were knocked to the ground by several sudden feathered arrows.

In this way, among the 20,000 infantry under Gao Gan, the middle and high-level generals who dared to show their heads and come out to resist were shot to the ground, and the leaderless Yuan soldiers heard that the Wei army "are both Han Chinese, why kill each other!" Disarm and don't kill, surrender is rewarded! Return to the center, glory for generations! Look at the Yuan soldiers who rose up to resist and were shot to the ground by arrows and fell to the ground with javelins, many Yuan soldiers threw down their weapons and lay on the ground, waiting for the Wei army to be absorbed.

Wei Yan has a concept, when fighting a civil war, try to avoid fighting a war of annihilation, and engage in the battle of Changping, the battle of Guandu, and the battle of Chibi to kill hundreds of thousands of compatriots of the same root and species at once, what's the point, it is better to keep it to fight those alien races with such combat power.

Because of his extreme disgust and inability to avoid civil war, Wei Yan could only choose "shoot people and horses first, capture thieves and capture kings first, and be able to control and invade the tomb, how can you kill more", for this reason, Wei Yan specially stipulated in the Wei army that the reward for capturing an enemy army is more than killing an enemy army.

Of course, this was only during the period of civil war, and in the war against those aliens, Wei Yan would specifically stipulate that the reward for killing an enemy soldier was higher than that for capturing an enemy army.

Xu Huang ambushed Gao Gan and achieved unprecedented results in this battle, did not let go of an enemy, killed more than 5,000 Yuan soldiers, and captured more than 24,000 people, including more than 8,000 cavalry and more than 16,000 infantry, because Yuan soldiers went to Baibo Valley with their own dry food for five days, and there were no baggage carts, so they did not capture much baggage, but they got more than 11,000 war horses.

Of the 18,000 men led by Xu Huang, only more than 1,000 were lost in battle.

After Xu Huang successfully ambushed Gao Gan's 30,000 horses with 18,000 men, he ordered people to lead troops to clean up the battlefield and reorganize the prisoners.

He instigated a horse and a big axe to come to Gao Gan: "Gao Gan, I want to borrow something from you!" ”

Gao Gan's face turned pale, usually at this time, such words are not a good word, thinking that Xu Huang wants his own head, so he said in a trembling voice: "General Xu, I heard that your lord has made a military order that you are not allowed to kill prisoners without permission, and I have no grievances with you in the past and no enmity in the near future, General Xu is the talent of a general who is valued by Wen Changgong, don't ruin your good future because of me!" ”

Xu Huang carried the big axe, squinted his eyes, and looked at Gao Gan with contempt: "Gao Gan, where do you want to go, killing a wine bag and rice bag like you will only dirty my axe in vain!" I want your talisman, you take it out obediently, I'll spare your dog's life! ”

Gao Gan was now reduced to a prisoner, and the courage in his body had disappeared, especially looking at Xu Huang's cold and shining axe, he shuddered, and had to obediently hand over the talisman.

Xu Huang got the talisman and summoned Ma Zhong: "Marshal Ma, please work hard, bring 2,000 cavalry, take the talisman of the high-ranking cadres, and collect the three cities of Puban, Ruicheng, and Dayang one by one according to the strategy arranged by the lord before." ”

Ma Zhong took the order and left.

Xu Huang also asked Dian Wei and Pan Feng to lead 5,000 men and horses to reinforce Wei Yan's army in Baibo Valley, because Wei Yan was determined to take Baibo Valley and completely eliminate the Baibo thieves, so he felt that the more troops at hand, the better.

Xu Huang took the remaining 9,000 men and horses to collect and rectify the more than 24,000 prisoners.

After the strict selection of the Wei army's body, will, and quality, only 2,000 cavalry and 4,000 infantry were barely able to be incorporated into the Wei army's battle sequence, and the slightly worse 2,000 cavalry and 4,000 infantry were incorporated into the auxiliaries.

The remaining more than 4,000 cavalry and more than 8,000 infantry were temporarily incorporated into the Tuntian soldiers, and now they are also cleaning the battlefield and burying the corpses. Those Yuan soldiers who had just been integrated into the Wei army's combat auxiliary system were not issued weapons, and they needed to go through a month of brainwashing and training before they could be issued weapons to participate in the battle.

When Ma Zhong was passing by Wenxi County, he sent someone to spread rumors about Xixian Ling Weixi, and asked him to deceive more than 10,000 county soldiers who had pretended to be Wei soldiers before, and follow him to recover the three cities of Puban, Ruicheng, and Dayang.

Wei Xi hurriedly lit up four thousand elites, pretended to be prisoners of the Wei army, was strung with ropes, and followed behind Ma Zhong's two thousand cavalry.

Ma Zhong sent scout rangers to control the various main roads from Anyi City to the three county towns, preventing the rout of Yuan's army on the two battlefields from ventilating and reporting the news, while marching slowly and leisurely.

He had to time it right, not too early or too late.

Two days later, Ma Zhong arrived in Dayang County, where more than 3,000 Yuan soldiers were stationed.

Ma Zhong shouted at the city: "I will be ordered by General Gao to escort the Wei army prisoners!" ”

The Dayang County Commander appointed by Yuan Shao hurriedly climbed the city tower, leaned over and replied: "Is there a general's talisman?" ”

Ma Zhong hurriedly sent someone to present the soldier's talisman of the high cadre.

The Dayang County Commander verified the soldier talisman, looked at Ma Zhong and the Wei soldiers dressed as Yuan Junbing behind him, and asked suspiciously, "Why have I never seen you before?" ”

Ma Zhong arched his hand and smiled: "I am the general's nephew, surnamed Gao Mingzhong, I only came to defect to the general a few days ago, and I was originally stationed in Puban County, so you have never seen me!" ”

The Dayang County Commander still looked suspicious, hesitated and refused to open the door, and wanted to send someone to verify whether Gao Gan had a nephew named Yang Yue.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Ma Zhong hurriedly pushed out a person behind him.

The man shouted loudly: "Do you still want to do this county order, you have checked the talisman, and you still don't open the door?" If you drive a little later, I'll whip you to death!" ”

Dayang County Commander fixed his eyes on it, the one who made a big fool of the words was Gao Gan's deputy general, and at the same time Gao Gan's cousin Gao Wei, he was brutal by nature, and he has always been ruthless to those who disobey him, this Dayang County Order relied on worshipping Gao Gan as a clerk to get this official title, and he didn't dare to offend Gao Gan's cousin, seeing Gao Wei angry, he quickly sent people to open the city gate.

The reason why Ma Zhong took Gao Wei with him was to follow Wei Yan's teaching, any strategy must take into account how to end in case of failure, and must be prepared with both hands.
