In the direction of Yanzhou, Hua'an and his soldiers and horses, after crossing the water, launched the pursuit of Yao Xiang's rout, and at the same time, the 40,000 partial divisions that arrived on the east bank of the water one step earlier also began to deploy soldiers and horses in a targeted manner, preparing to block the way of Yao Xiang's rout, so as to completely annihilate Yao Xiang's army.

In the vicinity of Zou County and Fan County, the two lines of soldiers and horses under the command of Yao Xiang were just about to pass through to Guò here, when they were surrounded by soldiers and horses under the command of Zhang Yu and Wei Tong.

The strength of these two soldiers and horses is only seven or eight thousand people, and Zhang Yu and Wei Tong, who intercepted them, have 20,000 troops, three times the strength of them, in this situation of disadvantage, the soldiers under the command of Yao Xiang are naturally not the opponents of Zhang Yu and Wei Tong, after a bloody battle and struggle, most of the soldiers and horses of these two roads were annihilated, and only a small number of soldiers and horses fled into the nearby mountains, however, the strength of these soldiers and horses who escaped was very limited, and there was no need to care at all.

When Hua'an and his army arrived in Zou County, the battle was over, and Zhang Yu reported the results of his army to Hua'an.

After listening to Zhang Yu's report, Hua'an seemed very happy, and it didn't take long for the good news to come from the direction of Fanxian County again, and Hua'an was even more happy after listening to it.

However, the only thing that Hua An regretted was that the annihilated armies on these two roads were not Yao Xiang's descendant army, that is to say, Yao Xiang and his descendant army had taken another path, avoided the interception of Zhang Yu and Wei Tong, and continued to march in the direction of Qingzhou.

Although he felt a little regretful in his heart, after all, he had annihilated Yao Xiang's two-wing army, and at this time, all the soldiers and horses under Yao Xiang's command were only seven or eight thousand men and horses left in the core under his command, that is to say. In the next battle, it was only necessary to annihilate Yao Xiang and the seven or eight thousand henchmen under his command.

At this time, the soldiers and horses used by Hua'an to pursue Yao Xiang were as high as 150,000, and in the face of Yao Xiang's army's decline, Hua'an felt. There is no need to mobilize so many soldiers and horses to continue to pursue Yao Xiang's army, besides, the situation in Luoyang City and Hebei is very critical, Hua'an feels that it is necessary to immediately lead his elite men and horses back to Luoyang City to deal with the situation in Luoyang and Hebei.

However, in the territory of Qingzhou, there are still many remnants of the Yao Xiang Army. For this reason, Hua'an did not dare to take it too lightly, he decided to let Wang Wu lead an army of 100,000 and be responsible for clearing the remnants of Yao Xiang's forces, Zhou Cheng led an army of 20,000 to guard Yanzhou, and Hua'an himself led an elite army of 30,000 and immediately returned to Luoyang City.

In order to allow the armies of all walks of life, Shun lì to complete the task. Hua'an personally summoned Wang Wu and other generals and personally assigned specific tasks to them.

In the big tent of the Chinese army. Hua An looked at Wang Wu and Zhou Cheng, and said loudly: "Right now, the situation in Hebei is very critical, and the continuous mobilization of the Jingzhou Army is also putting great pressure on the direction of Luoyang City, so. This king wants to immediately lead the troops back to Luoyang City, and the matter in the direction of Qingzhou will be entrusted to General Wang, and there will be no war in Yanzhou for the time being, so it will be handed over to General Zhou to guard. ”

"Yes. The king, the last will obey. Wang Wu and Zhou Cheng said loudly.

Seeing that the two of them accepted the order, Hua An nodded with satisfaction, looked at Wang Wu, and said: "General Wang, now the core soldiers and horses under Yao Xiang's command are only seven or eight thousand people, and the scattered soldiers and horses in the direction of Qingzhou are estimated to be twenty or thirty thousand, and your 100,000 army is responsible for clearing the Yao Xiang Army, it should not be a big problem, but Yao Xiang is scheming, you must be more careful, and after the annihilation of the Yao Xiang Army, all your troops and horses will be transferred to the direction of Donglai County, the easternmost part of Qingzhou, and will do your best to meet with the 10,000 naval army at the ferry port of Donglai County, Then you can cross the Beihai and raid Liaodong County in Pingzhou, however, you must remember that the purpose of this king to let you raid Liaodong County is to contain the power of Yan, not to launch a large-scale attack on Yan, so you must pay close attention to the movement of the eastern army of Yan, once the soldiers and horses of the army of Yan reach a certain size, your troops and horses must immediately evacuate Liaodong County, and go to where not to fight to the death with the army of Yan, so as not to suffer huge losses, this point, you must remember. ”

When Wang Wu heard this, he hugged his fists and said: "The king can rest assured, the last general will be fortunate not to be dishonored." ”

Hua An nodded with satisfaction, looked at Zhou Cheng, and said: "General Zhou, at the moment, there is no war in the direction of Yanzhou, so this king only asks your troops to guard Yanzhou, but you must not relax your vigilance, and you must always prepare for war in case someone with bad intentions invades Yanzhou, do you understand?" ”

"Rest assured, the king will know what to do." Zhou Cheng hugged his fists.

Hua An nodded with satisfaction, Wang Wu and Zhou Cheng, as long as they do exactly what Hua An said, they will definitely be able to complete the task well, and if they complete the task well, they can put Hua An in a more powerful position.

After explaining the task, Hua'an asked Wang Wu and Zhou Cheng to go to prepare immediately, while he discussed the situation in Hebei with Wang San and Deng Qiang.

"Your Majesty, the situation in the direction of Hebei is already very dangerous, and the last general is very worried in his heart, in case General Xie Ai can't resist the attack of the Yan army, won't Hebei all fall into the hands of the Yan State, and our army should reinforce Hebei to reduce the pressure on General Xie Ai." Deng Qiang said worriedly.

Obviously, from the situation sent back by the detailed work, Deng Qiang felt that the main army of Yan State had occupied a very big advantage, if Hua'an did not take decisive measures, Xie Ai's army was likely to be defeated because of its inability to resist the main army of Yan State, and once Xie Ai's army was defeated, the consequences would naturally be unimaginable, and at that time, not only would a very effective main force under Hua'an be lost, but at the same time, the entire Hebei would fall into the hands of Yan State, which would be disastrous for Hua'an, and in order to prevent such a situation, Deng Qiang built more troops in the direction of Hebei to relieve the pressure on Xie Ai's army.

"Wang, what General Deng said is that the situation in the direction of Hebei is too sinister, and our army should indeed do its best to reinforce Hebei, otherwise, the soldiers and horses under General Xie Ai may really not be able to resist the attack of the main army of Yan State!" Wang San also said loudly.

Obviously, Wang San's views are basically the same as Deng Qiang's, and he also believes that Xie Ai's army is at an absolute disadvantage compared with the main army of Yan, and in order to prevent Hebei from being captured by the main army of Yan, it is necessary to reinforce Hebei.

Listening to the opinions of the two, Hua An frowned and pondered for a moment, he also wanted to reinforce Hebei, however, the Jingzhou Army was continuing to transfer troops to the north, the intention was very sinister, Hua An did not dare to transfer the troops and horses in the direction of Luoyang City to Hebei, in order to reduce the pressure on Xie Ai's army, what Hua'an could do was to let Wang Wu's army take the sea route to raid Liaodong County after capturing Qingzhou, so that Yan Guo had to allocate a certain amount of strength to maintain the defense of Liaodong, so that the Murong Ke army on the front line would inevitably reduce the resources obtained, This relieves the pressure on the Sheai legion.

"The situation in Hebei is indeed very dangerous, but this king believes that General Xie Ai can block the attack of the main army of Yan State, besides, the army of Yan State has been going south for so many days, and General Xie Ai has not asked this king for help once, isn't this the best proof?" Hua An looked at Wang San and Deng Qiang and said loudly.

Indeed, since the day when the main army of 300,000 of Yan State went south, Xie Ai has never asked Hua'an for reinforcements, nor has he complained to Hua'an, and he has not even reported to Hua'an about the war in the direction of Hebei.

When Wang San and Deng Qiang heard this, they felt that what Hua An said was also very reasonable, after all, if Xie Ai was not sure of defeating Murong Ke's army, he should ask Hua An for help, but Xie Ai had never asked for help in the direction of Luoyang City, wouldn't this be enough to show that Xie Ai's army had enough strength to block Murong Ke's army?

"Report, Wang, news has just been sent back from the Hebei direction that the main army of the Yan State has captured Julu County, and stationed troops in the capital of Julu County, Gatao City, preparing to go further south." At this moment, unfavorable news once again came from the Hebei direction.

"Your Majesty, the army of Yan has captured Julu County, and the next step is to attack Xiangguo, once Xiangguo is captured, the next step is Yecheng, and the situation in the direction of Hebei is still very tense!" Deng Qiang said nervously.

"Your Majesty, according to the news sent back by Xizuo, the situation in Hebei is getting more and more serious, but General Xie Ai seems to be fine, he is really calm!" Wang San complained loudly.

Obviously, he was dissatisfied with Xie Ai, and he felt that Xie Ai had lost so many cities in a row, but he didn't have the slightest sense of nervousness, which seemed a little abnormal.

However, Hua An already had a premonition in his heart, after all, he knew Xie Ai very well, and he felt that the reason why Xie Ai dared to lose the entire Jizhou must have a very good plan, this plan could defeat the main army of Yan State, and even severely damage the main army of Yan State.

Hua An didn't know what Xie Ai's specific plan was, but Hua An knew that Xie Ai also had a lot of soldiers and horses, especially the 20,000 elite chariot troops trained secretly, and they were the elite of the elite.

"General Xie must have his own reason for doing things, since this king handed over the entire Hebei to General Xie to guard, he absolutely trusts him, this king believes that General Xie Ai will definitely be able to block the main army under Murong Ke, and the final victory will definitely belong to our army." Hua An looked at Wang San and Deng Qiang and said loudly.

When Wang San and Deng Qiang heard this, they had no choice but to nod their heads in approval, after all, they were still very clear about Xie Ai's strength, and they believed in Xie Ai's strength.

After discussing the situation in the direction of Hebei, Hua'an, Wang San and Deng Qiang led an elite army of 30,000 under their command to return to Luoyang City as quickly as possible. (To be continued......)
