Nearly 6,000 Cao troops were annihilated on the banks of Jingshui, and the remaining thousands of remnants of the army who escaped by luck fled to the desert, and Wangnan went to rendezvous with the follow-up Guo Huaibu army. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

After cleaning the battlefield, the Han army got nearly 5,000 high-quality horses, as well as thousands of well-armored collars, and the Cao army, which ruled the rich land of the Central Plains, was really wealthy, compared to the equipment of the Cao army's cavalry, the Xiliang cavalry under Ma Chao's hand was a lot shabby.

Of course, the most important thing is that the Han army quickly found Xiahou Yuan's body.

When the sergeants carried Xiahou Yuan's body to Fang Shao and Ma Chao, both of them couldn't help but gasp.

Poor Xiahou Yuan also died a little miserable, and there were nearly a hundred arrows densely inserted on the corpse, which was even hedgehog more than a hedgehog, which seemed to be due to Fang Shao's targeted elimination methods.

"Xiahou Yuan, you have today, and finally died at the hands of Lao Tzu."

Ma Chao looked at Xiahou Yuan's dead face, his face couldn't help but overflow with the joy and relief that only came after revenge, he pulled out his knife, cut off Xiahou Yuan's head, and then threw it to his generals, and said proudly: "Send the head of Xiahou dog thief to the king quickly, he will be very happy." ”

Killing is also artistic, in Ma Chao's view, the white knife goes in, the red knife comes out, so the most primitive way to kill is happy. However, for Fang Shao, strategizing and using clever strategies to make others kill people is more important than the excitement of the process, rather than the result, which is called art.

Fang Shao called this "cruel art".

Therefore, when Ma Chao went to cut off Xiahou Yuan's head, Fang Shao couldn't help but turn around and didn't look directly at such a disgusting act.

After the generals wrapped their heads and set off quickly, Fang Shaocai complimented: "General Meng Qi, congratulations on your enemy, in this battle, your prestige is afraid to move the world again." ”

Ma Chao laughed, patted Fang Shao on the shoulder and said: "Zhongzheng, I can be ashamed of the snow, it's not because of your ghost to help, this time I owe you, I must invite you to drink a good wine tonight, drink him in the dark, drink him drunk Fang Xiu." ”

Ma Chao thought that he would be able to sit back and relax by killing Xiahou Yuan, but Fang Shao was not as complacent as him, and said lightly: "It's not too late to drink the wine in the future, for the sake of today, you should also pack up your soldiers, cross Jingshui as soon as possible, and capture Pubanjin." ”

Ma Chao waved his hand and said disapprerovitically: "Xiahou Yuan has been slaughtered by us, those rats in Guanzhong, who else is our opponent, Zhongzheng, you don't have to be so anxious, let the brothers rest for a night, everything is in a hurry." ”

Fang Shao shook his head and said: "Although Xiahou Yuan is a famous general in the world, at best he is just a brave and unscrupulous person, among the Cao army, there are many people of insight, we must not relax because of a momentary victory." ”

"Zhongzheng, you are good at everything, but sometimes you worry too much. After crossing the river and occupying Jingyang County today, the whole army had a good time, and it was decided so happily. ”

Fang Shao couldn't resist Ma Chao's complacency, and he was indeed excited about the victory in his heart, so he didn't cling to it anymore.

So, before the evening of the same day, the Han army successfully crossed Jingshui, Jingyang County Commander after learning the news of Xiahou Yuan's death, of course, was frightened, did not wait for the Han army to arrive in the city, then opened the city gate, personally led the Jing County father and elder out of the city to surrender.

In the evening of the same day, the Han army was stationed on the front line of Jingyang, and Ma Chao took the deposit of Jingyang Treasury, and rewarded the soldiers of the whole army with good wine and meat.

Just when the Han army occupied Jingyang County, the remnants of the thousands of soldiers who had escaped by luck had already gone south in disgrace and joined the infantry army led by Guo Huai dozens of miles away.

When Guo Huai heard the news of Xiahou Yuan's death, he was naturally shocked, and the whole army was also terrified.

After being shocked for a long time, Guo Huai reluctantly calmed down, and under a calm analysis, decided to temporarily suspend the power of Xiahou Yuan.

Now that Xia Yuan has died, and most of the most elite cavalry of the Guanzhong Army has been lost, Guo Huai knows that with the little strength he has at hand and this low morale, he will not be able to stop the Han army's attempt to attack Pubanjin alone.

The current situation in Guanzhong has actually reached the point of no return, and the generals actually understand this in their hearts, but it is only because of Xiahou Yuan's strong insistence on his own opinions, so he has to reluctantly cope with the battle in an extremely unfavorable situation.

Now that Xiahou Yuan is dead, there is no owner in Guanzhong, Guo Huai and other generals are actually easy to let go.

Guo Huai realized that Wugong, Tongguan, and his own three-point forces here could not hold any place in the end, so after weighing it again and again, Guo Huai decided to concentrate his forces and hold Pubanjin first.

Therefore, Guo Huai hurriedly sent people to Wugong and Tongguan to report the death of Xiahou Yuan to Zhang He and Xu Huang respectively, and expressed his intentions, hoping that the two of them could lead the army to assemble in the direction of Pusaka.

At the same time, Guo Huai left a small number of troops, planted many banners, and made a posture of preparing to continue to pursue Ma Chao's army. He led more than 10,000 troops, marched south in the starry night, turned east along the Weishui route, and then went north to cross Luoshui, and guarded Fengyi County, which was connected with the Yellow River.

………… Forty miles southwest of Jing County, the main force of the Han army, the big tent of the Chinese army.

At this moment, the night is just approaching, and Liu Bei, the king of Hanzhong, is discussing with Pang Tong, Wu Yi, Wang Ping, Pang De and other generals.

Liu Bei's expression was confident and leisurely, and the expressions of the generals were also vibrant. After all, the situation in Guanzhong was extremely favorable to the Han army, and under the encouragement of a series of victories, the entire Han army was permeated with a high-spirited and upward atmosphere.

At this moment, Pang Tong was facing the map, talking about his grand strategy.

"Among the three auxiliaries, the southeast pole of Jingzhao County is connected with Jingzhou and Nanyang, although there is a Wuguan to pass through the east and west, but the road is far and difficult to walk, Cao Yingwan will not choose this road. Look at Fengyi County in the north, this county is connected to the east of the river, Pubanjin is in the territory of this county, and there is more danger of Luoshui in its territory, if our army can seize this county first, we can block the Cao army to the east bank of the Yellow River, so ......"

When Pang Tongzheng was talking with relish, the attendants outside hurriedly entered the interior to report, saying that the messenger sent by Ma Chao had arrived to report the results of the battle of Jingshui to the king of Hanzhong.

Liu Bei's expression was shocked when he heard this, and he hurriedly called for the messenger to be brought in.

After a short time, a small colonel with a dusty and excited face entered, still carrying a bloodstained package in his hand, and as soon as he entered, he fell to the ground and said: "King Qiyu, in the battle of Jingshui, our army won a complete victory, killing 6,000 enemy cavalry, and even shooting the enemy leader Xiahou Yuan in one fell swoop. ”

As soon as these words came out, the entire Chinese army's big tent was shocked, and all the civil and military forces were stunned at first, and then they all showed joy.

As for Liu Bei, the surprise was even more palpable, he stood up suddenly, and shouted excitedly: "What? You repeat? ”

The little colonel raised an octave and said loudly: "The thief leader Xiahou Yuan has been shot to death on the bank of Jingshui, and General Ma Mengqi has specially ordered a small one to present his head to the king. ”

This time, Liu Bei finally understood, and his face couldn't help but show a little ecstasy, and he said excitedly: "Quick, hurry up and present Xiahou Yuan's head." ”

The little colonel presented the package with both hands, and an attendant handed it to Liu in front of the record.

Liu Bei couldn't wait to unwrap the package, and a few seconds later, a bloody human head appeared in front of everyone.

Liu Bei had worked with Cao Ying for a long time, and all the civil and military forces under his command naturally knew everything, so he looked at it carefully for a while, and couldn't help but smile and said: "Yes, yes, this is Xiahou Yuan's head." I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it, Meng Qi would make such a miraculous achievement, and as soon as Xiahou Yuan died, Guanzhong was alone. ”

As soon as Liu Bei's words came out, all the civil and military forces in the tent were also overjoyed, and the big tent boiled for a while, and everyone was excited about the victory of Jingshui and the award of Xiahou.

Liu Bei then asked about the battle of Jingshui again, and the little colonel defeated Ma Chao and Fang Shao's ambush, in detail.

When Liu Bei heard this, he couldn't help but admire: "Zhongzheng is worthy of being Lone's 'ghost scheme', it seems that it is a wise choice for him to assist Ma Chaoshi in this battle, and he really did not disappoint Lone." ”

Pang Tong stepped forward and stroked Xiahou Yuan's head, and said with a smile: "As soon as Xiahou Yuan dies, the enemy in Guanzhong will fall apart. ”

Liu Bei nodded and said: "What the military advisor said is extremely true, Lone should send an order to Meng Qi and Zhongzheng, so that they can take advantage of the victory and seize Feng Yi as soon as possible." ”

After saying that, Liu Bei suddenly seemed to think of something, "Although Xiahou Yuan is dead, there is still Zhang He in martial arts to guard Weishui, and if he is desperate to defend it, it will take a lot of trouble." ”

Pang Tong said with a smile: "Zhang He is not a fool, he knows the news of Xiahou Yuan's death, and he will inevitably abandon his martial arts and retreat to Feng Yi by a detour." The king can first divide an army, with Xiahou Yuan's head to recruit Fufeng, Chang'an and other cities west of Wugong, these cities are only a few county soldiers stationed, as long as you see Xiahou Yuan's people's hearts, the shock will inevitably open the city and surrender, then the Weishui line can be self-determined without a fight. At that time, Zhang He was cut off from the back road, and in addition to surrendering, he had only one way to die in battle. ”

Liu Bei thought so, "Zhang He, this person, brave and strategic, when he worked with Yuan Benchu back then, he admired this person very much, if he can be subdued, it is really like a tiger with wings, then according to the strategy of the military division, act quickly." ”

On the same day, Liu Bei divided 10,000 soldiers and horses, led by Wu Yi and Pang De, turned back to Weishui, detoured to the east of Wugong, and went to recruit and surrender the cities of Sanfu.

At this time, the messenger sent by Guo Huai rushed back to Wugong, and at this moment, this important town of Weishui has been besieged by Zhang Fei's 50,000 soldiers and horses on three sides, and only the water gate on the side of Weishui can enter and exit.

It took the messenger a long time to get in, and at this time Zhang He was still patrolling the north gate, and was directing the soldiers to reinforce several city walls that had just been destroyed by the Han army a few days ago.

After hearing the messenger's panicked report, Zhang He was instantly petrified, and the whole person froze for a long time, before he took a long breath and muttered: "Xiahou Miaocai, you don't listen to my advice, you are stubborn, and now it can be regarded as the general trend has gone, and the general trend has gone......
