A chaotic battle lasted until the east was white, and then gradually came to an end. The generals of the Yan army, led the troops, with the results of this battle, gathered to Yuan Shao's Chinese army, which is now the temporary headquarters of Yan Wang Ao Lie.

As the arrow troops, Lu Bu, who was responsible for taking the lead and breaking through the front camp of the Yuan army and the Chinese army one after another, gained the most in this battle. He took 20,000 elite horses of the Longxiang Army to step into the company camp, all the way through the pass, and killed a total of seven generals of the Yuan Army, more than 10,000 soldiers, and made great achievements, adding a brilliant sum to the Yan Army and the Longxiang Army!

Second only to Lü Bu, were Zhou Yu and Tai Shici, who were responsible for setting up an ambush on the way to Yuan Shao's retreat, and these two took advantage of the fact that Yuan Jun's courage had been lost and the army's morale was unstable, and they also killed more than 10,000 Yuan troops, but the number of generals under Yuan Shao's command was not as good as Lü Bu, so they were relegated to second place. The most regrettable thing for Zhou Yu and Tai Shici is that although they have made great achievements, they have not been able to catch Yuan Shao, and a group of Yuan Shao's generals desperately protected him and escaped.

Zhao Yun and Ma Chao, who were responsible for attacking the left and right battalions, had comparable records, and both successfully broke through Yuan Shao's two wings of the battalion, and the number of beheadings was relatively close, both around 6,000, and more than 2,000 troops were captured. Yuan Shao's two-wing battalion, under the attack of these two people, the battle damage was as high as eighty percent, and only three or four thousand people escaped.

Compared with the above people, the veteran Huang Zhong killed the least number of Yuan troops, less than 5,000 people, but he successfully burned a large amount of grain and grass hoarded in the rear camp of the Yuan army, and also captured more than 3,000 Yuan troops. Postwar. Ao Lie once sent people to check the grain and grass of the Yuan army, hoping to find something useful from the ashes, but Huang Zhong's fire was too thorough, the Yuan army piled up a mountain of grain and grass, and only retained less than one-tenth of it after the end, fortunately, a large number of iron weapons were not so easy to be burned, the handles were burned, but the blade was retained, although it had been burned and deformed, and could not be directly distributed to the troops for use. But Ao Lie still ordered all the weapons to be put away. Ao Lie believed that by handing over these scrap iron to Wang Hun and Ma Jun, they would be able to turn waste into treasure and remake sharp weapons.

As for Ao Lie himself. He led the Blood Killing Army as Lü Bu's follow-up force. The gains in this battle were also impressive. not only killed Yuan Shao's general Lu Weihuang, but also followed in the footsteps of Lu Bu and killed most of the Yuan army in the front camp. At least more than 7,000 people were beheaded, and more than 2,000 troops were subdued.

The least harvest is Zhou Tai and Xu Sheng who are cruising in the periphery, they can only hunt and kill some fish that have slipped through the net in the periphery, and among these fish that have slipped through the net, there is no general Yuan Jun, those generals have fled with Yuan Shao, and with the strength of the two of them, they have only harvested the lives of three or four thousand small fish and shrimp. Seeing that several other generals were happily reporting their exploits, Zhou Tai was so greedy that he ran directly to Ao Lie and Zhou Yu, complaining that this mission was too slight and did not let him exert his strength at all, and asked to be the vanguard of the army in the next decisive battle. Ao Lie and Zhou Yu looked at each other and smiled, appreciating Zhou Tai's desire to fight, and after the last time, Ao Lie personally promised Zhou Tai that he would be a vanguard general in the next decisive battle.

When Ao Lie led the army back to Hejian City, Zhuge Liang, who stayed in Hejian, had already prepared a banquet to celebrate everyone's achievements. When the generals were drinking with their hearts open, Zhuge Liang quietly withdrew from the hall and went to count the spoils of this battle.

It took half a day for Zhuge Liang to classify the various loot into categories. The final result was that more than 47,000 enemy soldiers were killed and more than 9,800 Yuan soldiers were captured. More than 60,000 weapons of various types were seized, these weapons can also be distributed to the army for continued use, and those that are damaged are not included in this list, Zhuge Liang classified the damaged weapons as a category with the burned weapons, and counted them as scraps, and harvested more than 10,000 catties of refined iron in total; In addition, more than 30,000 pairs of intact iron armor were also captured, which could be used to equip the newly recruited alien soldiers; War horses are also a lot of income, after the statistics after the elimination, Zhuge Liang in the captured war horses, picked out 20,000 good horses that meet the requirements of the Yan cavalry, the rest of the bad horses and mules and horses for transportation, add up to more than 30,000 horses, if this batch of eliminated horses to the people of the three new states, let them be used as livestock for farming, presumably it will greatly save the labor of the people, help them increase the output in the farmland.

After a night's rest, the soldiers of the Yan army replenished the physical strength and spirit consumed last night, and Ao Lie gave them a new task.

The purpose of today's mission is very clear, that is, at the beginning of Yuan Shao's defeat, when the fleeing soldiers had not had time to return to Yuan Shao's side, and the follow-up troops of Yuan's army failed to arrive, they took the two counties adjacent to Hejian - Bohai and Zhongshan in one fell swoop. Bohai County is in the east of the river, adjacent to the Bohai Bay in later generations, and taking Bohai County is equivalent to opening up the sea passage from Youzhou to Jizhou, and at that time, the 60,000 sailors of Ganning, the naval governor, will be useful. At the same time, the communication and mutual support between the Yan Army and the Jiangdong Army will become smoother and faster.

Zhongshan is in the west of the river, in fact, Zhongshan is not a county, but a county, but Zhongshan has long been without the king of Zhongshan, don't forget, Liu Bei is the descendant of King Jing of Zhongshan, it can be seen that the lord of Zhongshan has long been dilapidated. Zhongshan State only retains the title of the county in name, in fact, it has long been reduced to a county, Zhongshan's strategic position is not prominent, but if Zhongshan is taken, the northern part of Jizhou and the city will be connected with the city, so that Ao Lie can transfer people from the state at any time. Moreover, to the west of Zhongshan, the adjacent county is Changshan County, which is the hometown of Zhao Yun and Xiahoulan, in order to take care of the emotions of the two generals under his command, Ao Lie must also take Zhongshan, and then plan Changshan under his rule.

As soon as the battle plan was announced by Ao Lie, the two generals stood up at the same time and asked to lead troops to capture these two counties. These two generals are Zhao Yun and Zhou Tai. Zhao Yun naturally knew that at least half of the purpose of Ao Lie's attack on Zhongshan was to prepare for the capture of Changshan. And then let himself and his fellow countryman Xiahou Lan feel at ease, so Zhao Yun asked to lead troops to attack Zhongshan. And Zhou Tai didn't make it clear where he was going to attack, but he didn't forget the promise that Ao Lie gave him yesterday, so he stood up as soon as possible to ask for the position of a vanguard general and make up for the losses that he failed to fight yesterday.

Ao Lie happily agreed to the two people's request to fight, and immediately issued an order to let Zhao Yun be the main general. Lead the five generals. led 10,000 cavalry and 10,000 infantry troops to attack Zhongshan, and after conquering, he stayed in Zhongshan Town to defend the city. Because there were not many Yuan troops stationed in Zhongshan. Therefore, Ao Lie did not let Zhao Yun lead the bloody killing army there. Instead, they left the bloody army in the river. Prepare to plunge into the decisive battle with Yuan Shao. On the other side, Zhou Tai led 10,000 Jiangdong troops and 10,000 Yan troops, together with Jiang Qin, to attack the Bohai Sea. Both of them are from the Shui Kou. Letting them attack Bohai County, which is close to the sea, is like letting them fight on the home field, and they have a great advantage compared to the Yuan army, which is not water-impermeable. Similarly, Ao Lie also asked them to temporarily lead the army to be stationed there after conquering the Bohai Sea, forming a triangular formation with Hejian and Zhongshan, which could echo back and forth at any time.

After Zhao Yun and Zhou Tai led the army to leave, Ao Lie was not idle, and asked Tai Shici to lead 6,000 men and horses, escorting more than 9,800 Yuan army prisoners, together with a large number of captured but temporarily unused materials to return to Yanjing, and hand them over to Xun Yu who stayed in Yanjing for disposal. Ao Lie believes that Xun Yu will definitely make the most appropriate handling. At the same time, Tai Shici also had a task when he returned to Yanjing this time, that is, to bring a follow-up army of 20,000 people over. At the beginning of the expedition, because of the limited grain and grass, Ao Lie could only bring out 100,000 troops to Jizhou to fight, but last night, Ao Lie captured Yuan Shao's granary, although only one-tenth of the grain and grass was harvested after the most Lu, but it was enough for Ao Lie to increase his troops again.

Don't forget, Yuan Shao's army has more than 300,000 people, according to the proportion of one-tenth, the captured grain and grass is enough for more than 30,000 people to eat, Ao Lie asked Tai Shici to only bring 20,000 reinforcements over, or take care of the Jiangdong Army's military supplies, Zhou Yu came from thousands of miles to help the war, and he couldn't let people bring their own grain and grass, and the extra rations for more than 10,000 people, Ao Lie was budgeted for the Jiangdong Army.

Under the leadership of Zhou Yu, the Jiangdong Army came with a total of 30,000 people, so if it is calculated, there will still be a shortage of grain and grass, but this problem is also easy to solve.

Five days later, Zhao Yun and Zhou Tai came with good news at the same time. Zhao Yun is a native of Changshan, Changshan and Zhongshan are next to each other, so Zhao Yun is very familiar with the terrain of Zhongshan, the arrangement of troops and the arrangement of the march route is very reasonable, and the Yuan army stationed in Zhongshan has long heard of the prestige of Zhao Zilong in Changshan, and he knows that he is one of the best generals under Ao Lie. After that, Zhao Yun took advantage of the offensive of the local people and successfully persuaded the generals who were responsible for guarding the east gate, and then led the army commander to drive straight in, and occupied Hezhong almost without blood. Now, while Zhao Yun is carrying out internal rectification and reorganizing the surrendered soldiers, he is directing the army to march to the county seat under Zhongshan's rule, and in one day, most of Zhongshan has fallen into Zhao Yun's hands.

The strategies and tactics adopted by Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin were diametrically opposed to Zhao Yun. The two took advantage of the characteristics of the Jiangdong Army that were good at water warfare, and Jiang Qin led 10,000 Jiangdong troops along the coastline, all the way to attack the city, starting from the county seat near the sea, conquering three county towns one after another, and cutting off the retreat of the Yuan army's waterway; Zhou Tai led another 10,000 Yan troops to wander around the Bohai county town, successively conquered the four county towns adjacent to Bohai City, cut off the land retreat of Yuan's army, and turned Bohai into a lonely city. After that, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin joined forces and launched a fierce attack on Bohai City, and in the case of cutting off all retreats, the defenders in Bohai City did not resist strongly, and were quickly defeated by the two. The tactics adopted by Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin were very similar to the combat policy of encircling the cities from the countryside adopted by the great men of later generations, which made Ao Lie stunned.

After taking Bohai and Zhongshan, the grain and grass were replenished again, and after counting, the grain and grass in the two counties were not only enough to supply the military needs of the Jiangdong Army, but also enough for Ao Lie to mobilize 40,000 reinforcements. In this regard, Ao Lie regretted, he didn't expect that the counties in Jizhou were so rich, and a few days ago, he asked Tai Shici to only mobilize 20,000 reinforcements, which was obviously a bit of a miscalculation. No wonder Yuan Shao can raise millions of soldiers, it turns out that Jizhou is rich to this extent! It really deserves the reputation of being the first state in the Central Plains.

After remorse, Ao Lie immediately wrote an edict and sent two fast horses to rush back to Yanjing, and asked Gan Ning, the governor of the navy, to lead 20,000 elite Qilin troops to drive new warships along the coast to the south and come to help. The Qilin Army, which has been training for a long time, is finally useful this time, presumably the 60,000 sailors from Gan Ning and below have already screamed, let them come to fight this time!
