After capturing Yan Liang alive, Zhang Liao asked the guards to go and arrest the judge, and then said: "You have always claimed to be an upright gentleman, but you have rebelled with Yan Liang, intending to plot against me with a trick of surrender, what else do you have to say now?"

The judge knows that he is at a loss and is silent.

Zhang Liao then said: "Since Mr. Zhengnan does not want to be a betrayer, I will not persuade much, and you will make a decision after Yuan Benchu is destroyed." Tomorrow I will send someone to escort Mr. to the party, and please don't blame Mr. for not being careful!"

Subsequently, Zhang Liao arranged for the guards to carry the drunk and unconscious Yan Liangbu generals Zhang Nan, Zhang Kai and others onto a carriage temporarily found from the nearby people's homes, and then arranged for ten shadow team members plus a company of troops to serve as escorts, and drove to the direction of Qu County overnight, preparing to send these people to Yuzhoushan Island to be placed under house arrest until the end of the Battle of Qingxu.

As for Yan Liang and the two of them, because their identities are too important, Zhang Liao still decided to bind them to his side, maybe they can come in handy at a critical time.

At this time, the war in Xuzhou basically eased, and the danger of Xiapi was not only completely lifted, but Zhao Yun and they also easily captured several important generals of the coalition army who could exchange a lot of money, and even destroyed several large armies. Except for the army of Zhang Xun sent by Yuan Shu because of the faster escape, the overall loss was small, and the rest of the army was either completely annihilated or beaten, which can be regarded as fully feeling the majesty and strength of the Jin cavalry.

However, Zhang Xun, who has escaped, is not having a good time now. Because behind him caught up with a cavalry force of thousands of people, so close and not far away, he had a feeling of being targeted by wolves. If he can't get rid of this trailing force in Xuzhou within two or three days, he is afraid that he will face great danger.

The cavalry unit hanging behind Zhang Xun's troops was a 5,000-strong light cavalry led by Li Tiezhu, the commander of the Flying Tiger Army. At that time, there were a total of 20,000 people in the Flying Tiger Army that rushed into Xiapi City, except for Zhao Yun and Guan Ping who each led a division of troops from the north gate and the south gate to fight the battle, Lu Bu led 5,000 cavalry to stalemate with the Xiahou army through the collapsed west gate, and the remaining 5,000 people were led by Li Tiezhu to leave from the east gate and go to pursue Zhang Xun's army.

The more than 10,000 Cao troops who confronted Lü Bu quickly withdrew from the battlefield soon after, and went directly to the place occupied by the Cao army in the northwest of Donghai County, and even the captured Xiahou Yuan was left unattended. It's not that Xi Zhicai doesn't want to save Xiahou Yuan, it's just that the situation is too dangerous, and if he doesn't hurry up and bring the troops to a safe area, he is very worried that the 20,000 elite soldiers who entered the battlefield in Xuzhou will eventually be wiped out.

The idea of pursuing Zhang Xun was the first to be put forward by Li Tiezhu to Lu Bu, and the reason was very good and the goal was very clear.

Li Tiezhu thought that with 5,000 Flying Tiger cavalry, he could completely annihilate Zhang Xun's troops on the way to the south, but he was not prepared to do so. He wanted to slow down the speed of Zhang Xun's escape, force them into a terrain suitable for ambush and completely surround them, and then use Zhang Xunjun as bait to lure more Yuan Shu troops to come to the rescue.

As long as Zhang Liao, who successfully completed the task of sniping Yan Liang, can arrive in time, then with the 5,000 cavalry led by Li Tiezhu and the 15,000 infantry cavalry led by Zhang Liao, it is entirely possible to turn the Xuzhou battlefield into a meat grinder.

It can be seen from Li Tiezhu's plan that Zhao Xing asked him to serve as the military advisor of the sharpest spear of the Protector Army, and he really didn't choose the wrong person. At present, Li Tiezhu has initially possessed a strategic vision, not only considering how to fight the battle of his own army, but also thinking about how to organize coordinated operations and how to create a battlefield situation favorable to his army.

The high-level generals with this quality are not only Li Tiezhu, but also the commander of the army, Tai Shici, who is very satisfied with Zhao Xing.

When Zhao Xing initially appointed Tai Shici as the commander of the navy, many people inside and outside the army did not understand, or were not optimistic. Because Tai Shici has been in the Protector Army for a short time, and has never shown the skills of water warfare.

But for more than a year, Tai Shici has used his practical actions to completely prove how correct and wise Zhao Xing's appointment was. Not to mention that he saved millions of military dollars for the Jin State in a year, nor did he say that he trained 20,000 troops for the Jin State that could fight amphibious operations, not to mention the Quanzhou Naval City that he carefully built, Tai Shici's practice of purchasing ports and building naval ports and advance bases in various places along the East China Sea at a very small cost has now begun to play a huge role, thus reflecting extraordinary foresight and strategic vision.

Yuzhoushan Island in Xuzhou has now become a strategic fortress and fulcrum supporting the Jin army's galloping across the country; the military ports in Qingzhou Buqi, Donglai Dongmu, and Le'an Tatecheng have become good ports where the Jin navy can land at the right time.

This time, Tai Shici led 20,000 sailors and 15,000 dragoons to land from the military port of Le'an Tatecheng, which not only greatly saved the time of the march, but also made Yuan Shaojun, who occupied most of Qingzhou, defenseless and unaware. In fact, after Tai Shi Ci led his army to cross the huge bay like an eggplant from the area of Tatecheng, he could smoothly bypass Yuan Shao's Qiancheng stronghold set up in the upper reaches of Tatecheng, and go straight behind Yuan Shao's new nest Linji, and insert it behind Yuan Jun from between Le'an County and Qiancheng County, and implement the beheading tactic of the black tiger's heart.

Since it was the Black Tiger who was digging into his heart, why did he use a huge army of 35,000? It was only because Tai Shici's combat mission this time was not only to cut off Yuan Shao's nest, but also to subdue most of the lost territory in Qingzhou and open up the communication between Qingzhou and Xuzhou.

The lion fights the rabbit with all his strength, Tai Shi Ci doesn't mind besieging Linji City with more than 30,000 well-equipped troops, as long as he can ensure that none of the people in the city can run out. This time he went south, Zhao Xingke asked Tai Shici to arrest Yuan Shao's subordinates such as Fu Zhu, Xun Chen (Chen Sisheng), Xin Bi, Xin Ping and others no matter what. These scribes were all good at governing the prefectures and counties, and compared with the third-rate generals under Yuan Shao, the value and significance to the Jin State were naturally greater.

Now there is a shortage of officials at the state and county levels in Jizhou, and Qingxu and Xu will also face such a problem in the next step. Zhao Xing's military generals are as many as cattle, and there is no shortage of people who can recruit and fight well, but the reserves of the civilian system are obviously not rich enough, and it is often difficult to choose a Taishou for several days.

When the sea division transport ship off the coast of Donglai was divided into two, some people once questioned whether Tai Shici's sailors could fight after they came ashore, but Zhang Liao was the first to jump out for him.

Zhang Liao said: "Why can't you fight, have you forgotten that when the sailors selected the manpower at the beginning, it was the elite soldiers who were comprehensively screened in the national protection army who did not get dizzy, and I wonder if that army was not dug up by this guy Ziyi A group of elite soldiers who have done good kung fu? I think they will not be able to fight on land after changing their clothes and eating the sea stove for a few days? What a big mistake! I think that the sailors of the Jin State are as strong as they are after they go ashore, and dealing with Yuan Shao's troops is as easy as chopping melons and vegetables!"

In fact, it is indeed as Zhang Liao said. Among the 30,000 naval divisions of the Jin Kingdom, 10,000 are the so-called technical troops, who are responsible for the safety of the warship's maritime navigation and the technical support of various equipment, but the remaining 20,000 are specially prepared for the future landing on the island, which is the earliest marine corps in this time and space!
