Liyang was captured, the soldiers defending the city died, and the surrender fell, neither Huang Zhong nor Cao Cào made it difficult for these soldiers, but let Zhang Nan and Jiao touch each go to appease these soldiers.

This time the Hebei War was different from the crusade against the Yellow Turban Thief Army, although Yuan Shao was also counted by the imperial court as an anti-thief party, but the officials and soldiers he used were all official soldiers, and these people did not fight with the imperial army because they wanted to overthrow the imperial court, so there was no need to kill them all.

What's more, most of these soldiers are natives of Hebei, and even many fathers, elders, wives and children are there, if you want to appease the entire Hebei, these people really can't be killed casually, so as not to arouse the disgust of the entire Hebei region towards the imperial court.

"It's a pity that Zhang He and Gao Ran couldn't catch it!"

When Huang Zhong reported the results in front of Cao Cào, he was also very depressed that he failed to catch the enemy's main general. Originally, he was trying to capture Liyang, capture Zhang He and Gao Ran alive and then make a lot of money, but he didn't expect those two guys to see the opportunity so quickly, so they abandoned the city early and went straight to Yecheng.

If you want to chase now, you can naturally catch up with the horsepower of the imperial army, but Cao Cào thought about it and gave up: "Where can you escape?" Now that you have captured Liyang, there is no obstacle between the road to Yecheng, Yuan Shao or Chen Bing will fight to the death with the governor of Pontus in the field, or defend Yecheng and rely on the city to defend it!"

Before he finished speaking, he pursed his lips with disdain: "But with the original xìngzi, it is absolutely impossible to defend Yecheng, so they will inevitably be treated in front of each other!"

All the generals in the hall know that Yuan Shao and Cao Cào are old acquaintances, they have known each other when they were young, and later they have entered the officialdom, and they are both the eighth lieutenants of Xiyuan, and they were also friends back then.

I don't want to change now, my friends back then are now meeting on the battlefield, and I have to share your life and death.

Although he lamented the impermanence of the world, because of this, he knew that Cao Cào was extremely clear about Yuan Shao's xìngzi mō, which was also an extremely favorable condition in a war, so he did not have the slightest doubt about Cao Cào's analysis.

What's more, several staff officers who accompanied the army this time, such as Liu Ye, the secretary of the military department, and Guo Jia, the right sì lang of the military department, all agreed with Cao Cào's judgment and asked the army to prepare for a decisive battle in the field.

"This battle will determine the belonging of Hebei, the generals will go back to rest and leave Liyang at noon tomorrow and go straight to Yecheng!"

A night's rest and a morning's preparation were enough to get the soldiers back to their best. What's more, since the start of the war, although it has captured both banks of the Yellow River in a short period of time, and has kept moving forward, and now it is directly under the city, but in fact, the imperial army has hardly felt the slightest fatigue.

This is the huge gap in the quality of the soldiers, and the generals ...... They literally came out on vacation.

"This battle is really not happy, it's not as good as the cool ones that my family practiced on the school field in Chang'an!"

Zhang Fei was the most unhappy person, he originally thought that if he fought Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao's account in the land of Sizhou would definitely have some combat power, not to mention that Zuo Ci ran over.

I didn't think that there was almost no obstacle all the way over, Zhang Fei just played a few games a while ago, and found that it was not interesting, so he stopped shouting to go out.

That is, when you encounter any city, you can still raise your interest, usually dangling, or running to find drinks, drinking in your own tent to pass the time.

In the past, when he was in a bad mood, he still had a pastime: beating and scolding his soldiers, but this pleasure has now been ruthlessly deprived.

Liu Xuan did not directly cancel corporal punishment, if the soldiers made mistakes, he encouraged the appropriate punishment, but did not allow the inexplicable whipping of the soldiers to have fun.

After Zhang Fei made a few mistakes and was cleaned up very badly, he could only endure to change his habit. Liu Xuan didn't think that Zhang Fei really couldn't get rid of this habit, but there was no stronger person who pressed him before, and now he didn't mind playing such a role.

Then we won't let you command the troops, we won't let you go to war, we won't let you fight, we won't give you things and tricks for cultivation, and we won't give you wine......

If you make a mistake, you will clean you up, if you beat Liu Xuan once, you dare to let Liu Bei beat him three times, and the eldest brother will do it, and the younger brother will not even dare to resist.

After a few times like this, Zhang Fei could only honestly get rid of his habit.

After walking around the city a few times, he saw that Huang Zhong was still arranging soldiers to patrol and pacify the people, so he leaned over: "General Huang, do you want to drink together?"

Turning his head and seeing that it was Zhang Fei who invited him, Huang Zhong thought about it for a while, and then nodded and agreed: "It's okay, anyway, tomorrow's battle, there is nothing to do with me!"

Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered: "Speaking of which, tomorrow on the expedition, doesn't Yide have to go with the army?"

Zhang Fei laughed a few times: "Just drink some wine, and don't delay tomorrow's battle!"

The two of them looked for a suitable place while talking, but before they had gone far, they saw a soldier hurriedly rushing over: "General Zhang, Governor Cao wants you to go see him immediately!"

"Hmm, what are you calling me for?"

"This ...... My subordinates don't know!"

Zhang Fei immediately understood that it was probably a big deal, otherwise he would have just let the herald tell him, why did he deliberately call himself over? And it must have happened suddenly, otherwise why didn't he say it when they were discussing together just now?

"Since it's the governor's recruitment, Yide will go quickly!"

"I'll go see what's going on!"

After saying goodbye to Huang Zhong, Zhang Fei followed the soldiers to see Cao Cào immediately, and before he entered the mansion, he saw that there was already a forbidden army cavalry assembled, and when he saw this situation, Zhang Fei knew that there was military affairs.

When he saw Cao Cào, Cao Cào didn't go around in circles, and said directly: "Tanma found out that there is a strange army in the northeast of Liyang......

"Do you want to deal with that army and horses?" don't worry, there is no problem with this matter to the last general!"

Cao Cào suddenly waved his hand: "Yi Demo wants to underestimate the enemy, according to the report of the exploration horse, that army and horse are quite strange, and you must be cautious!"

He also just received the news not long ago, after all, this Liyang has only been fought for a long time, and the horses are sent out to go around in a big circle, and it is also because the quality of the soldiers and war horses of the imperial army is strong that they are able to do it.

The troop was said to have not flagged at all, and there was no strange sound at all, and if it had not been for the fact that Tanma had seen the troop moving slowly, he might have thought it was a bunch of dummies, used for his own.

Moreover, that army did not come directly to Liyang, but walked around in that direction, as if a rogue was going around in circles outside the battlefield, and then wanted to see if there was a chance for its own gain.

This feeling made Cao Cào very unhappy, and he didn't want any accidents to happen when he fought Yuan Shao tomorrow.

No matter where the soldiers and horses come from, since they have found out, they can't let them act there at will - not to mention that this Hebei land will be ruled by the imperial court sooner or later, if this army of soldiers and horses is really a rogue, it is better to take this opportunity to solve it as soon as possible, and the province will be troubled in the future.

In fact, this situation can be solved by sending a general to bring some soldiers and horses, but because he always feels that something is wrong, he called Zhang Fei over.

Zhang Fei's force is trustworthy, even if there is really any accident, with Zhang Fei's strength, he can at least maintain the situation - and then either send someone to report the emergency or simply rely on personal courage to solve the matter, it is always a guarantee. ..., therefore, this time I sent Zhang Fei to avoid Zhang Fei not knowing the Hebei Road, and also called Zhang Nan over and asked him to act with Zhang Fei.

"Jiāo give Yide 500 cavalry, if it is really strange, it is invincible, send fast horses to Tongbing, and the governor of Pontus will send troops to help!"

Zhang Fei was naturally a little unhappy when he heard it, and always felt that he was underestimated. However, Cao Cào was also kind, and Zhang Fei was still able to divide it, so after thanking him, he also said: "With these five hundred jīng horses, this matter will be solved as soon as possible and then join the army of the governor!"

Cao Cào nodded, and then let Zhang Fei go!

The five hundred jīng cavalry has been assembled, and Zhang Fei doesn't need to be detailed after he comes out, probably just shouting Qu Chang and Tun General who are the commanders of the army, and Zhang Fei's own soldiers have also taken the war horses and weapons, and they took care of themselves on the horses and spears, and then waved their hands, and the five hundred jīng horses came out of Liyang North, adjusted the direction and went straight to the northeast.

Less than an hour after Zhang Fei set off, Cao Cào suddenly received a message from Zhang Liao, which told Cao Cào a very important message, and this message directly made him stand up.

"Is it ......?"

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt that it was inappropriate, and he didn't care that it was already night, so he got up directly and asked Guan Yu to call Guan Yu.

"If all this is really connected, sending ordinary soldiers is definitely not enough insurance, and the only suitable thing at the moment is a thousand tiger cavalry under the feather tent!"

After a while, Guan Yu arrived, perhaps because he felt that something was not ordinary, and Guan Yu was dressed in full clothes.

"What is the matter with the Governor calling the last general in the middle of the night?"

"Zhang Wenyuan sent a message, saying that the tens of thousands of thieves of the Black Mountain thief Zhang Yan were defeated overnight, and most of them, including Zhang Yan, were captured, and from the information from several thieves who escaped by luck, it was learned that the Black Mountain Thieves were defeated by a strange army led by Yan Liang and Wen Chou......

Guan Yu was stunned for a moment, a little strange: "That Yan Liangwen is ugly is not ......"

"That's right!"

Cao Cào's face became very grim: "It is said that there was still a person in the army at that time, and it is estimated that it is Zuo Ci mentioned by His Majesty!"

Guan Yu immediately understood, it seems that this must be what kind of means Zuo Ci used to bring the dead back to life? But what does this have to do with Cao Cào calling himself?

Cao Cào's next sentence made Guan Yu understand why he was called.

"In the evening, the Pontus Governor received news that a strange army had appeared in the northeast of Liyang, so he sent Yide to lead five hundred jīng horsemen to find out what was going on......"

As soon as the words came out, although Guan Yu's face did not change greatly, Na Danfeng's eyes suddenly widened a lot.

ps: I'll tell you that the Battle of Hebei will be over in a few chapter......s? Some wars, this writing speed has dropped by whizzing......
