After learning that Arubu had fled into the capital, the Jiazhou army also slowed down the pursuit, because Li You knew that the walls of the capital were tall and solid, but they could not be attacked overnight, and they needed to be dealt with carefully. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

At the same time, the army of the King of Shu at the intersection of Shannan Dongdao and Gyeonggi Province was once again entangled, and the main general Luo Zhaoyuan had already learned the news of the rout of the Northern Army, and he was surprised by the strong combat effectiveness of the Jiazhou Army, but also began to wonder if he could take this opportunity to recover the cities occupied by the Northern Capture.

But the other generals in the Shu army are hesitant, the northern army that occupies these cities has abandoned the cities and fled north after hearing the news of Arub's defeat, and it doesn't take a little effort to recover these cities, but how to deal with them next is the biggest trouble, will the Jiazhou army allow them to occupy these cities? Don't you just send away a wolf, but you get into a tiger?

Luo Zhaoyuan's subordinates are only 30,000 troops, and the combat effectiveness is far from that of the Beiyu, let alone compared with the Jiazhou army, but the previous abandonment of the city has made those adults in Shu very dissatisfied, and now a great opportunity is in front of him, if he does nothing, can he still keep this official position?

"General, in the opinion of the students, if they can't take these cities, at most they will lose their official positions and leave their posts! On the contrary, you can return to Shuzhong to live in peace, and you don't have to worry about it anymore in this land of four wars; But if you offend the Jiazhou Army, I'm afraid you will have to worry about your life! The staff saw his trouble, and their eyes turned around to find a good reason.

Yes, what's the big deal even if you lose your office? Anyway, our Luo family is quite powerful in Shu, even if I am not a general, I can return to Shu to enjoy the wealth, wouldn't it be much more comfortable than staying in this place? Why bother to provoke the Jiazhou Army? Luo Zhaoyuan was quickly persuaded by this staff member, and hurriedly ordered the whole army not to move lightly, and only to strictly guard his camp.

So Luo Zhaoyuan's Shuzhong army regained its composure again, they guarded the pass and ignored the empty cities in front of them, and let the Jiazhou army occupy these cities that should have belonged to them; In this regard, the king of Shu and the ministers in Shu were furious, and they originally wanted to punish Luo Zhaoyuan greatly according to their intentions, but because of the help of the Luo family, and no general in Shu dared to take over Luo Zhaoyuan and stationed here to keep an eye on the Jiazhou army, so Luo Zhaoyuan only ushered in a few painless rebukes and punishments for a few months, and he didn't even hurt a single hair.

And during this time, Li You had already led his troops to wipe out all the remnants of Gyeonggi Province, a large part of the army was surrounded and annihilated by the Jiazhou army, and a small group of scattered routs who fled into the mountains to hide were also found out by the people of Gyeonggi Province and the heroes of the green forest, and reported to the Jiazhou army, and then they took the Jiazhou army to find these people to the north and kill or capture them.

In the first few days of the defensive battle, the Jiazhou army annihilated about 50,000 troops, and the results achieved in the pursuit battle were more brilliant, a total of tens of thousands of northern captives died in the pursuit, of which almost half died of physical exhaustion, cannibalism, and fell to death, in addition to more than 100,000 strong men who became prisoners of the Jiazhou army, and there were more than a group of coolies on the mines, water conservancy sites, and road construction sites in Jiazhou. Wang Ji and Gu Jiangzi can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

In addition, the materials that Arub didn't have time to take away also fell into the pockets of the Jiazhou army, tens of thousands of war horses, countless knives, guns, armor, and food, and gold and silver goods looted from all over the Central Plains, which were enough to make up for the consumption caused by the Jiazhou army's dispatch this time, and also quit drinking countless craftsmen and coolies who were imprisoned by the northern captives.

"After this battle, the strength of the northern captives has been greatly damaged, and the accumulation of decades has been lost, they are like wolves who have been broken their backbones, and it will be difficult to pose a threat to the Central Plains from now on, and it is only a matter of time before they attack Dragon City and regain Guannei Dao in the future." The happiest person in this victory was probably Sun Chuyang, who was in charge of managing the logistics affairs of the Jiazhou Army, who was full of confidence in the future future of the Jiazhou Army and happily expressed his views in the marshal's tent.

"Although the old wolf has broken its backbone, there are still countless young wolves on the Mobei grassland eyeing the Central Plains, if we relax a little, it won't be long before they grow sharp claws and threaten the safety of the border county again." Li You did not lose his vigilance, the competition on the grassland is much more fierce than in the Central Plains, and the time for a tribe to decline or rise is extremely fast, although Arub has come to an end, he still will not relax his vigilance against Mobei.

The Xiongnu to the Han Dynasty, the Turks to the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the Khitan, the Jurchens, and the Mongols to the Great Song Dynasty, the Tatars, and the Jurchens to the Ming Dynasty, these Manchus from the north have never stopped their aggression against the Central Plains.

"Although our army did not suffer many losses in this battle, it first attacked Henan Province, then defeated Arub, and now it is going to attack the capital, not only the soldiers are getting tired day by day, but the pressure on logistics supply is also increasing." Although a lot of loot has been obtained in this victory, the supply of food is still difficult, especially in the case of more than 100,000 prisoners, so taking the capital is probably the limit of this dispatch, Li You will not be carried away by the victory and urge the tired soldiers to continue the attack, "So after taking the capital, we have to rest for a while, move the Jiazhou court to the capital, and then go north next year to clean up Arub." ”

Although the generals felt a little regretful, what Li You said was also the truth, so he gave up the plan to attack the Guannai Road now, and concentrated on discussing the plan to recover the capital.

A few days later, Li You slowly approached the capital with a large army, sent soldiers and horses to surround the capital on three sides, leaving only the north gate leading to Guannei Road, and began to make various siege preparations under the city, Yale Buhua and Xu Shiyong and others in the city suddenly became nervous.
