On the third day after the Battle of Yangxiang, Xian Yufu led 2,000 cavalry to receive Gongsun Yue's troops.

The two thousand soldiers and horses led by Xian Yufu were originally stationed in Guangyang City, which was originally to prevent Gongsun Yue or Zou Dan from leading the army to the north to attack and plunder, and also as a reserve force to reinforce the front or return to Jicheng at any time. Although 2,000 soldiers and horses are not much, they can still buy some time for the troops to retreat or hold on at a critical time, and through this arrangement, it can also be seen that the combat plan formulated by the generals is not blindly adventurous and aggressive, but a combination of offense and defense, which can be adjusted at any time.

Li Yan handed over all the more than 4,900 prisoners and more than 1,700 wounded soldiers to Xian Yufu, and at the same time, the bodies of nearly 1,000 wounded soldiers and more than 800 dead soldiers were also handed over to Xian Yufu, and he himself led 5,000 soldiers and horses to Anci to join Zhao Yunbu and plan the next combat operation.

How to transport the bodies of these prisoners, wounded soldiers, and their own soldiers, as well as how to dispose of the corpses of enemy soldiers killed in battle, suddenly became a major problem that Xian Yufu had to face. Fortunately, Xian Yufu was not alone when he came, and he also brought a military advisor, so this problem that gave him a headache was quickly solved.

Xu Miao is the military advisor who is temporarily assigned to Xian Yufu by the eldest prince, although he doesn't seem to be very powerful, but he is actually very capable.

The "Captain of Wenxuan" selected 100 quick-witted and articulate soldiers from the Xianyu auxiliary army, and conducted a half-day "short-term training" for them, the main content of the training was to teach everyone how to publicize the benevolence and generosity of the Taifu and Gongzi, and publicize their own prisoner policy, especially emphasizing that the Youzhou people do not kill Youzhou people, as long as everyone is honest and obedient and does not resist, not only will they have food, but they will not be beaten, scolded and abused.

Xu Miao finished this in the morning, and in the afternoon he divided a hundred soldiers into the surrender army, and asked them to use their own language to divide and appease these surrendered soldiers, the effect was very obvious, the prisoners were originally worried that they would be killed and all kinds of beatings and insults, after listening to the propaganda of these "propagandists", they finally settled down.

Seeing that the mood of the soldiers was stable, Xu Miao selected a group of soldiers who were active and told them that there were still the bodies of their comrades who died in battle outside the city that needed to be buried, and that they could comfort the souls of the deceased in heaven by doing this. The captives felt that they could relieve their guilt by burying the remains of their dead comrades with their own hands, so they dug a pit on a dirt slope ten miles outside the city according to Xu Miao's request, and then buried the more than 2,400 dead people properly.

While doing these things, Xu Miao also mobilized doctors from near Yangxiang to treat the wounded soldiers among the captives, although the means and conditions of treatment were not as good as those for his own wounded soldiers, but also made the prisoners feel real care and care.

After these three things, the soldiers completely believed Xu Miao's words, and were no longer afraid of their future fate, they consciously obeyed the management, and honestly stayed in the guard camp, waiting for the next step of placement.

Xu Miao saw that the surrender was stable, so he suggested that Xian Yufu immediately lead everyone to leave Yangxiang and return to Guangyang.

Xian Yufu was very satisfied with Xu Miao's actions, and adopted Xu Miao's suggestion to divide the 5,000 prisoners into two parts, of which the 2,000 soldiers who performed actively followed behind Xu Miao and the 500 cavalry, and escorted all the wounded soldiers into the nearby Zhuo County City for recuperation; Nearly 3,000 soldiers who behaved ordinary were personally led by Xian Yufu to Guangyang with 1,500 cavalry, accompanied by the remains of 800 soldiers who died in battle.

According to the previous practice, after the soldiers under Liu Yu's command died in battle, they would be sent to the military capital for collective burial in the mountains, and they would be sacrificed and mourned by the people and their families in the future.

There were more than 8,000 enemy horses captured in Yangxiang City, and Li Yan selected 2,000 good horses to take to Anci, and then Xu Miao took 3,000 to Zhuoxian, and the remaining 3,000 were brought back to Guangyang by Xian Yufu and temporarily fostered in the city, waiting for Liu He's distribution and disposal.

The 8,000 war horses need to consume a huge amount of forage every day, and if they are not scattered in multiple cities for fostering, it will bring great problems to the logistics supply of the troops, so it is necessary to adopt the method of diversion to properly resettle. Zhuoxian, Guangyang and Anci are all counties with large populations, which can barely support the short-term feeding of these 8,000 war horses.

In addition to capturing a large number of soldiers and war horses, Li Yan and Zhao Yun also harvested a large number of iron weapons, copper weapons, bows, arrows, armor and other military materials for Liu He. Although the quality of these weapons and armor varies, they are also very valuable, some can be used only after repair, some can be reforged, and some can be directly distributed to ordinary soldiers.

Don't look at Xu Miao's usual hobby of the things in the cup, when dealing with these bits and pieces of messy things, but extremely meticulous, when he led the team to leave Acropolis Yang Township, not only all the scattered arrows inside and outside the city were collected by the soldiers, but also transported all the soil bags piled up under the four city walls to the bank of Taoshui to form a flood control embankment, and by the way, the sanitation in the city was thoroughly cleaned, and after he left, this small city basically has no traces of fighting.

On the sixth day after the battle of Yangxiang, Li Yan had already joined Zhao Yun in Anci, Xian Yufu and Xu Miao also led their teams to leave the place where the battle took place, but Gongsun Zan still didn't know that Gongsun Yue had become a prisoner, and the general Zou Dan had become a ghost, and the 10,000 soldiers and horses led by these two had been digested by the opponents, and there was not even a single bone left!

It's just that there is not a single bone left. All the soldiers who died in the battle were buried in the soil, all the dead horses were skinned and fleshed, all the captives were taken to different cities, all the weapons and armor became the trophies of others, and now Yangxiang City is clean and has been carefully licked, and there is not even a single arrow cluster left......

On this day, Gongsun Zhan sat in the tent and felt inexplicably restless in his heart, so he asked Liu Weitai: "Second brother, hasn't sent back news from Anci for a few days?" ”

Liu Weitai counted his fingers and replied, "Big brother, eight days have passed since you gave the order. ”

Gongsun Zhan asked Guan Jing again: "Guan Changshi, what has been the recent movement in the direction of Jicheng?" ”

Guan Jing shook his head and replied, "Since Gongsun Cheng came to Yongnu, we haven't received news from the direction of Jicheng for ten days. ”

Gongsun Chan frowned and said, "I think something is wrong! Even if my younger brother and Zou Dan were busy occupying Zhuo County, they should have sent specific news in time, how could there be no news for several days? ”

Gongsun Ji then suggested: "Since the general is so relieved, it is better to send a light cavalry to investigate, so as not to fall for Liu Yu's tricks." ”

Gongsun Chan nodded and said, "Mr. Gongsun is reasonable. Come on, please Guan Duwei and Zhang Duwei into the account! ”

Not long after, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei came to Gongsun Zhan's tent.

Gongsun Chan gave an order to Guan and Zhang: "Guan Duwei, Zhang Duwei, Benhou has allocated you a thousand soldiers and horses, and ordered you two to immediately go all the way to the west to inquire about the military situation. ”

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei received the order and immediately led a thousand cavalry to leave Yongnu and go straight to Anci County.

In Anci City, generals such as Zhao Yun, Li Yan and Tai Shici had received Liu He's latest instructions, and they were discussing the next operational deployment at this time.

Li Yan said: "Nine days have passed since Gongsun Yue's first session was annihilated, and I estimate that Gongsun Chan may have noticed something, or he may have sent a small force to the west to investigate the truth. We now have two options, one is to set up an ambush outside the city and find a way to eat the small force sent by Gongsun Zhan; The other is to stick to the city, let Gongsun Chan know that Anci has changed hands, and draw his attention from Jicheng to Anci. ”

Tai Shi Ci got up and said to Zhao Yun and Li Yan: "Zhao Sima, Master Li, are willing to lead the chariot battalion, the hook camp and two thousand soldiers and horses out of the city to ambush the small group of enemy troops who are coming!" ”

Zhao Yun said: "Gongzi instructed us to avoid a large-scale battle with Gongsun Zhan's main force for the time being, but we can also fight a dozen reconnaissance troops in small groups. ”

Tai Shici got Zhao Yun's permission, so he led the 3,000 soldiers and horses he brought out from Takayanagi out of Anci and set up an ambush in the area at the junction of Guangyang County and Yuyang County.

However, it was said that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei rode out of the west gate of Yongnu with a thousand light horses, and after crossing Gushui, they galloped on horseback, and came to the junction of Yuyang County and Guangyang County in less than half a day.

Zhang Fei said to Guan Yu on the horse: "Second brother, if you meet the thief who sees Xian Yuyin on the battle array this time, you must not stop me and let me tear this dog to avenge my dead comrades in Zhangjiazhuang!" ”

Guan Yu reminded Zhang Fei and said, "Third brother, I think it's better to let the revenge matter go." This time, we came to Youzhou to help Gongsun Zhan, and we have already offended Liu Yu, if we kill the generals under his command, I am afraid that the eldest brother and Liu Yu will have no room to turn around in the future. ”

Zhang Fei said with a disdainful face: "Liu Yu is just a timid old thief, sooner or later he will be solved by Gongsun Zhan, we can kill a few more of his generals, and we can also help Gongsun Zhan clear the obstacles!" ”

The two brothers were talking, Guan Yu's eyes suddenly flashed, and he ordered loudly: "The whole army obeys the order and stops advancing!" ”

"Second brother, what's wrong?" Zhang Fei clenched the snake spear and turned his head to look around.

Guan Yu replied in a deep voice: "There is something strange in the woods ahead!" We galloped all the way, and the movement of the horses' hooves on the ground was very obvious, and if there were beasts and birds hiding in the forest, we should start fleeing and fluttering at this moment. ”

"Second brother, do you suspect that there are ambushes hidden in the forest?"

"It's always better to be careful, you can watch the team here, and I'll check it out!"

Guan Yu gave Zhang Fei a few words, drove the horse closer to the woods, and then shouted into the forest: "Who is hidden in the forest?" Dare to come out and fight! It's a shame to shrink your head and tail! ”

As Guan Yu's words fell, he heard someone in the forest respond: "Bold maniac, when you come here, I will teach you to come and go!" Let's look at a certain Zhan'er! ”

While speaking, Tai Shi Ci urged the horse to come to Guan Yu from the depths of the woods.

PS: Thank you for your generous rewards, and I wish the big guy continued to be hi Piha during the Spring Festival!
