After Yan Xing fought to the death, Han Suifang had to lead the army to retreat.

The original intention was to return to Jincheng through Longxi, the road was the closest, but a water army that appeared on the Weishui River did not know when, and the arrows and crossbows along the river disturbed constantly, so that it did not dare to cross the river.

Seeing this water army, Cheng Gongying knew how the Sizhou army that secretly attacked the Dao arrived there.

Unable to cross Weishui and Longxi, Han Sui had to honestly go north to Yongshi County to cross the Yellow River according to the previous agreement with Yan Xing.

Xu Huang's garrison was in the county town of Zhangdao, and when he found out that Han Sui's defeated army was passing by, he naturally wanted to come out to rob and kill, and took advantage of the chaos to rob the armor soldiers, horses, and banners, and capture the population.

Han Hao didn't dare to fight, so he could only flee again.

Most of its headquarters are Jincheng people, and they are all cavalry, the Dangkou army has not gained much, and the subsequent rout is much more considerable, and the chariot millet and so on have raised the banner to stop the road, and a large number of people have fallen to the ground to survive.

In the midst of the rumors, he knew what a soldier was, and he worked hard all the way, until he was in Pingxiang County, and Han Sui ordered to stop, and by the way, he would contain the defeated soldiers to inquire about the news.

The scouts sent by Cheng Gongying and the scattered routs that fled afterwards reported that after the battle, Deng Ji's garrison in Jixian County rested and did not pursue, and Han Sui was calmer.

It's just that very few of the departments have returned, and after one night, Cheng Yi led more than 100 horsemen to vote, dialect and horse play Liang Xing have died in the chaos, Yang Qiu changed his route to return to stability, and the rest of the heroes of Xiliang counties were killed or fled to nowhere to go.

This time, the coalition army fought against Deng Ji, and Han Sui did not expect that the loss of troops would be like this.

If you don't cross the Yellow River, you won't be safe, although Deng Jijun did not pursue. But they didn't dare to stay here for long. However, the remnants of the more than 10,000 remnants of the army who escaped with their lives were in dire need of food. From Pingxiang to Warrior County, fast horses can reach it in two days, but people may be able to survive these two days, but war horses that have not eaten can not.

At this time, Deng Ji's power in the three counties was also shown - after a day of searching around Pingxiang, the sergeant couldn't find even a little hay.

Han Sui had no choice but to let people go out to herd horses, and the army first slaughtered and injured horses to cross the day.

Delay for a day. Hundreds of the sergeants who participated in the break also fled back before they were informed of the final results, and Yan Xing was not killed in battle and did not surrender.

At this time, I remembered that Yan Xing was good, since Deng Ji didn't chase and kill, he could wait for the generals under the tent, and he would need it in the future!

Only until the early morning of the third day. There was still no trace of Yan Xing left and right, and Han Sui didn't dare to stay any longer, so he had to leave the camp and set off.

He didn't know that Yan Xing fought to the death in a bloody battle, and although he finally fought out of the siege, his own family was also seriously injured. was almost unconscious, and when he escaped for his life, the companions saw that Deng Ji did not chase, and more than ten horsemen hid in the mountains to recuperate.

——

The people of Liangzhou have always been fierce, and the coalition army is not a rabble. Being able to break Han Sui outside Ji County, the biggest force in Xiliang has suffered a heavy blow. Deng Ji was naturally satisfied, but he killed 3,000 enemies and lost 800 himself, and the four armies under his command also urgently needed to rest and replenish.

The nearly 20,000 captured soldiers, according to the practice of Sizhou, should have chosen their elite soldiers to fill the soldiers, and the rest either filled the household registration for the civilians or increased the labor force for the servants, but when they were still cleaning the battlefield, Jia Xu persuaded: "If the lord gets the golden city, these people will also return to the people under his rule, it is better to release them and return!" ”

Everyone was surprised, and Deng Ji was surprised: "What does the military advisor mean?" If they are sent back to Jincheng, sooner or later they will be used by Han Sui again, so that they can revive their momentum, and they will be the enemy! ”

"Xiliang heroes are like tigers and wolves, although they are numerous, they have their own different aspirations!" The poison man was not in a hurry, and said a reason: "Although Han Sui and Ma Teng are the heroes of Xiliang, they are not their masters, how can they live on it for a long time?" Such heroes are attached to each other when Han Ma is victorious, and if the power is weak, there will be rebellion! Now the lord can choose the elite soldiers among the prisoners, and the rest will be released, so that it will be rumored that Han Sui Ma Teng is defeated, and Jincheng Wuwei will be in chaos for a long time; and have to pass on the name of the lord and the benevolence, so that the people of Li will return to their hearts, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone! When the internal friction arises, the lord will slowly march into the land, and the one who descends will be in public, and a lot of strength will be spared! ”

Deng Ji was only half-convinced of such speculation, and Xu Shu had already clapped his hands and praised on the side: "The left army division is unparalleled!" ”

Both wise men said this, and Deng Ji, who was very self-aware, naturally acted like a stream of goodness and immediately carried it out.

If you want to send the news of the defeat of the Xiliang coalition back to Jincheng, the sooner the better, and it will be even better if you can preempt Han Sui.

After Deng Ji's order, the army spent a day selecting the elite from the surrender strokes, and gave the rest five days of rations, and released them to return home.

There are also a lot of Xiliang people in the Sizhou army, under the instruction of the lord, taking advantage of the selection of elite kung fu, there have been many Xiliang soldiers looking for their hometowns in the pawn, but if they recognize an old acquaintance, they must tell a story, and then give a mount to travel.

can be released by Deng Jida's grace, these soldiers are already happy, and they choose to return to their hometowns. Their armor and equipment have been confiscated, and the three counties are fortified and clear, so they are not afraid of people making trouble.

Deng Ji was released and surrendered, and the water army on the Weishui River naturally would not come to embarrass again, but was willing to cross the river. It is much closer to go to Longxi and return to Jincheng, and when I heard Deng Ji's order, the soldiers were grateful, and many people said: "Deng Mu'an, the lord of benevolence and righteousness, will never be an enemy of him again in this life!" ”

The brigade crossed the Wei River happily and rushed back to Jincheng via Longxi. In order to paralyze Han Sui, Deng Ji rested the army in Ji County and no longer moved forward.

After the first day, Deng Jifang left the Weilie Army to continue to rest in Ji County, and he led the three armies of Huya Xiaocai and Dangkou to slowly march to the warriors.

——

Sizhou military horses are not in a hurry to chase, in order to collect more defeated troops, Han Sui is not fast, although for this purpose to slaughter hundreds of more war horses as rations, but as long as you can save a little more strength, it is easy to ask the Hao clan Qiang for horses after returning.

When Deng Ji waved his army north, Han Suijun had just erected a pontoon bridge over the river. After Tanma reported that the Sizhou army had arrived in Pingxiang, Han Sui ordered to cross the river.

At this time, plus the defeated soldiers gathered, Han Sui had another 20,000 horses.

Just giving him twice as many people is useless to the situation.

Even Jia Xu, who had made the plan, didn't expect that the result he expected would come true so quickly!

When Han Sui destroyed the pontoon bridge, garrisoned the north bank, and ordered the troops and horses from all over the territory to come to help, and when the Sizhou army and horses crossed the river to attack Jincheng, something had changed!

Before sending troops, Han Sui left his eldest son and his general Tian Leyang to guard the county seat of Yunwu in Jincheng County, and the road was foolproof, even if it became Gongying, it was also the army of Ma Teng to the south together, except for the Qiang Yi who was good with his own master, there was no force around him that could threaten Yunwu.

Unexpectedly, there was a threatening force, and in the same way as waiting for Yan Xing, Cheng Gongying did not urge him to hurry when he returned to the army.

No one expected that when the defeated army had not yet arrived at the warriors, the news of the defeat in Jixian County had spread throughout Jincheng, much faster than Jia Xu's arrangement.

In the middle of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Jincheng was divided into two counties, one Jincheng and one Xiping. However, it is customary to refer to the two counties together as Jincheng County.

Therefore, Han Sui occupied Jincheng County, which originally contained the original Xiping County, but his control over Xiping was slightly weaker.

It is normal to have weak control, after all, further west is no longer the territory of the Han Dynasty, it is all barren land where Qiang grazes cattle and horses.

Xiping County has only four counties, and the population is also insufficient, which is not enough to cause trouble.

However, there are also wealthy families in its place, Xiping Hao family, and Tui Koji clan!

Koji's koji!

After Hanoi was defeated by Deng Ji, Koji Yi abandoned Yuan Shao and returned to his family thousands of miles, so he was naturally unwilling to lie dormant!

Yuan Benchu is ambitious and talented, but he only relies on his family! Deng Mu'an is even more shallow, and he is useless except for being good at raising elite soldiers!

The rest are even more busy!

In this troubled world, there should be a place for me in the world!

Koji Yi is a key person in the clan, a famous general in the world, a big reputation, when today's chaos, there is a chance to rise at any time, after returning home, it is not difficult to say that the family is moving, and a lot of preparations have been made secretly in the past few years, just waiting for the time to come.

Koji has a large number of parts, and perennial and Qiang Di as the enemy, all of them are fierce and able to fight, in addition to the two thousand horses brought to the Central Plains by Koji Yi at the beginning, there are more than 4,000 in Xiping, and Koji Yi returned for a few years, and expanded to 7,000 numbers, and performed every day.

Han Sui didn't pay enough attention to Xiping, and the Koji clan never disobeyed him on weekdays, so he never fortified it.

On the face of the Koji clan, it was the brother of the Koji clan who served under Han Sui's account, and after the return of Koji Yi, he hid in the clan, and outsiders did not know, and made Koji Yan more in-laws and old local heroes and generals at all levels in the army.

This time, Han Sui and Ma Teng's coalition army attacked Deng Ji, and Koji Yi had already paid attention, and secretly made Koji Yan say that he was sick and did not go out with the army, and sent more details to explore the news, Deng Ji's released soldiers have not yet returned to Jincheng, and Koji has learned that Han Sui was defeated, so he first released the wind in the two counties.

When the soldiers returned, the news confirmed that the people of Jincheng were panicked, and the opportunity of the Koji clan came.

He has been an enemy of Deng Ji for many years, and Lu Yi knows that his soldiers are powerful, and if he lets the Sizhou army and horses invade Jincheng County, he will have nothing to do, and all the efforts he has made before will be in vain, so he must move before he crosses the river.

In Yunwu City, the Jiang clan is the in-law of the Koji clan, and on the night of his return, Koji Yan and his cousin Jiang Shi moved out of the Koji Yi Daimyo together, and said that Tian Leyang, the second general of Tian Leyang, who had always been good friends.

Han Sui suffered a big defeat, Jincheng really needed a more famous and capable person to lead the way, and Tian Leyang Kui immediately responded.

It's just a pity that Han Sui's eldest son, who is stationed in Yunwu, is a person who has no ability, and everyone below is rebellious, and he doesn't even know anything about it in the city.

When Lu Yi raised an army against Han in Xiping, the four people in Yunwu City led the troops to kill Han Sui's eldest son and his family, and responded with the city.

The Koji clan raised troops, and the leader was actually a number of famous generals in the world, Han Sui was old and had been defeated, and suddenly the heroes of the Quartet responded, and all the counties changed their flags, and Koji Yi took Han Sui's base camp into his hands lightly, and gathered twenty or thirty thousand people in a few days.

When Han Sui suddenly heard about the shock, like five thunderbolts, his family members were lost, and the way back was cut off, where did he still have the heart to meet the enemy Deng Ji?

What's worse is that there is no hope of conquest of Kojiyi! Most of his remaining sergeants are from Jincheng, and they used to take care of the whole family, and fled all the way back with him, and then got this news, but in a day or two, half of them have dispersed.

Seeing that Han Sui was defeated, Cheng Yi didn't want to die with him, so he gave up him to join him.

More and more soldiers fled, and Han Sui had no choice but to lead the last 2,000 or so horsemen to the mountains to seek refuge after some calculations with Cheng Gongying.
