Just when Shao Xun was chasing all the way to Peiguo, Jin Kang had already retreated in the direction of Dongping with his infantry army.

Before leaving, they even set a fire and burned the county town of Gaoping to the ground.

The more than 2,000 Hun cavalry who rushed to Jin Zhun did not know where to go, so they followed Jin Kang's 9,000 foot soldiers all the way north, and arrived in Dongping a few days later, where they connected with Shi Le's rangers.

Cao Wei, who was raising grain and grass in the territory of Lu State, heard of the defeat of Gaoping and withdrew directly to Mount Tai to join Liu Ya and Hu Yanyan.

These two people combined had 10,000 horses, gave Jin Zhun three or four thousand, and there were about 6,000 people left, and it was estimated that this strength was not enough for Shao thieves to fight, so they retreated in the direction of Jinan.

Now, everyone has a question, where did Jin Zhun go?

Well, Jin Zhen went to Pengcheng accurately, and he arrived on the night of the 14th.

Running all the way, scattering all the way, people came all the way to converge, and when they arrived at Pengcheng, the force swelled to 7,000 horsemen.

pinched his fingers and calculated, this wave of clear losses, about more than 2,000 horsemen, all died under Gaoping City.

So, where are the five thousand horsemen?

Jin Zhun sighed, he had fought and knew that most of these people were actually looking for him.

But he couldn't stop.

When he was in Fang and County, he raised a little supplies, but soon heard that the Shao thieves were marching to this side, and the number was unknown.

So after resting for the night, he went south along Surabaya, swept through Pei County, and ran all the way to Pengcheng.

At this point, the people were so sleepy that they almost cried.

The thief of the dog day had always been behind him, and every time he wanted to stop and set up a containment point, he heard the news that the pursuers from the scouts were heading south, so he was forced to set off, and it was not until Pengcheng that he gained a foothold.

In the middle, he once wanted to transition to the north and join Shi Le, Liu Ya, Hu Yanyan and others, but the opposite bank was full of lakes and marshes, which was not conducive to the cavalry to drive, and could not find ships.

If you make a wooden raft on the fly, it will take time. But Shao Thief has been hanging far behind, only a day's journey when he was closest, and only two or three days when he was far away, so he really didn't have the courage to stop.

He actually knew very well that if he chased so hard, there were actually not many people under Shao Thief, but his own troops were even more unbearable, and their morale was so low that they couldn't fight in a short time.

In this way, he was driven all the way by the Shao thief and rushed to Pengcheng.

To be honest, he didn't even want to stay in Peng Cheng.

After a hasty rest for two days, he roared northward and headed for the East China Sea and Langya.

The most important task now is to converge Shi Le, Liu Ya, and Hu Yanyan.

As long as he can find them, join forces in one place, and then reorganize them, then he still has more than 20,000 cavalry, plus 30,000 new and old foot soldiers, and can contact Zhao Gu and Cao Wei's tens of thousands of foot cavalry, relying on the city to restore morale, and there may not be no chance of a battle.

Of course, from his heart, he really didn't want to fight.

Without that momentum, it will be a bad battle if you fight again, and the resources may not be enough.

If the king of Hanoi agreed to withdraw his troops, he raised his hands in favor.

It's just that after I go back, there is a high probability that I will be deprived of my job and my job, and I want to climb up, but I don't know how much effort I have to put in.

Alas!

But it's better than losing his life, and at this point, Jin Zhun still thinks about it.

******

On the east bank of the ferry, the Silver Lancers have been stationed here for several days.

For a few days, they didn't think about developing outward. Helplessly, there were no baggage vehicles, and under the surveillance of the cavalry, it was difficult to move.

Fortunately, there are still supplies on board, and after all of them are unloaded, it will not be a problem to support them for ten days.

Kim Zheng and Wang Qi'er patrol around the ferry all day long.

They did not know that the destruction of the pontoon bridge was a decisive factor in shaking the morale of the Xiongnu army and prompting it to retreat.

They are now like an island, and they don't know anything about the outside world.

It wasn't until the Battle of Gaoping broke out and all the Shile infantry in the vicinity were withdrawn overnight that they slowly smelled something different.

On October 11, three days after the end of the Battle of Gaoping, Wang Qi'er, who served as the temporary governor, ordered the transporters to disembark and go up at night in the direction of Lingjin.

On the twelfth, Liu Cang came to Dongwuyang and looked at the Yellow River.

Following him was Zhu Ji, the middle book supervisor.

After hearing that the Shao thief had returned, Liu Cong, the Son of Heaven, sent Zhu Ji over to understand the situation.

The situation is even more dire than expected.

Four days after the end of the Battle of Gaoping, the news was already known here.

They are all old people who have fought wars, how do you not know what will happen next?

Wang Shi's morale has already been frustrated, and it is not appropriate to fight again.

In some wars, there are often only one or two key battles, and if they are lost, they should be withdrawn.

For example, in the Battle of Luoyang two years ago, Beigong Chun attacked the camp at night, beheaded Yanhao, and then won another battle, which surprised the besieging army.

At that time, he still wanted to fight, but the first emperor decisively recalled the army and returned to Pingyang for rectification.

At this time, it was time for the king of Hanoi to make a decision.

"Can Sima Rui take Xuzhou?" Liu Cang asked.

This is the message that Zhao Gu just sent.

Sima Rui, the king of Langya of Jin, heard that Zhao Gu occupied Xuzhou, so he sent the boat division to the north, and came straight to the next Pi, and the crowd reached tens of thousands.

Fighting in that place where the water network is crisscrossed, Liu Cang is still a little worried.

He had just been put on a boat by a boatman, and now he somewhat understood the magic of the navy.

In the Central Plains, there is a saying that "the south ships and the north horses", and the terrain and weather in the south have greatly reduced the role of the cavalry, and a large number of naval troops are indeed needed. Xuzhou, on the other hand, has many lakes and marshes, and there are many rivers.

"Zhao Gu only has more than 20,000 people, or it may be difficult to resist the Jin army, so he can be ordered to retreat quickly." Zhu Ji said.

Liu Cang nodded silently.

finally took Peng Cheng and Xiapi lightly, but he had to let go, which was indeed a little depressing.

But from an intellectual point of view, this is again a helpless thing.

Moreover, if Zhao Gu is really allowed to gain a firm foothold in Xuzhou, can the imperial court really effectively control him? Not necessarily, it's too far.

In this way, the value of Xuzhou is not very large. Losing it hurts, but it's not unacceptable.

"In the Yuyan war, can Zhu Gong teach something?" Liu Cang asked again.

"The king has already decided, why bother asking the old man?" Zhu Ji shook his head and sighed.

Liu Cang smiled and said, "I can't hide it from Zhu Gong." Indeed, I have already decided to retire. ”

Zhu Ji nodded, this is also exactly what he wants, although the Son of Heaven has not yet made up his mind.

"What's going on in Guanzhong?" Liu Cang asked again.

"It's not very good." Zhu Ji said: "The Jin thieves contacted a lot of people, and the soldiers were divided into two ways and marched to Chang'an, and the king of Zhongshan (Liu Yao) had few soldiers, so he might not be able to resist it." ”

Sima Mo has been killed, and local officials and tribes have sent protons into the court.

But there are also people who do not surrender, such as Feng Yi Taishou Suoqi, Anyi Protector Lu Yun, Pinyang Ling Liang Su and others, all the way to Anding County.

Anding Taishou Jia 疋 (yǎ) and the chieftains of Di and Qiang in the territory all sent protons to Pingyang, but after merging with Suo Qi's gang, the more he thought about it, the more unwilling he became, so he decided to do it anyway.

The public recommended Jia Kai as the main one, and led General Pingxi. He levied Ding Zhuang in the county, and launched the chieftains of Di and Qiang, and agreed to fight against the Han together.

So, everyone gathered a wave of Hu and Han troops, known as 50,000 foot cavalry, and marched towards Chang'an.

After hearing that Jia Kai raised troops, the original Yongzhou Thorn Shi Lu Te, Xinping Taishou Zhu Hui, Fufeng Taishou Liang Zong and others also recruited Ding Zhuang, and said that they mobilized various tribes in the territory to send troops, and also gathered a wave of soldiers and horses, known as 100,000 foot cavalry.

The total number of troops on the two roads is 150,000, which is definitely an exaggeration, but the momentum is really not small.

The most important thing is that Liu Yao, the king of Zhongshan who stayed in Chang'an, did not have many soldiers, and he didn't even dare to trust the Jin army that surrendered to him now, after all, didn't Jia Kai surrender before? Even the protons were delivered, how about now?

For them, the return of the army is a big deal, and a little proton is a fart!

In fact, there are still soldiers on the Binh Duong side, but it is not always a matter of fighting on both sides, it is better to end one side and concentrate on the other side.

In this way, it is actually the war in Henan that should be ended.

The Dongwu Yang pontoon bridge was damaged, and the morale of the army was shaken.

Gao Ping lost the first battle and suffered a demoralization.

Shao Xun and Sima Rui each supported troops to chase and kill, and it was time to end.

It's just that there is one more thing that makes people chagrin now: Jin Zhun doesn't know where to go.

Every time he thought about this, Liu Cang was upset.

You won't be chased by the thief and die in the river, right?

In desperation, he could only reappoint Liu Ya as the governor of the former army, and uniformly command all departments to retreat from Qingzhou.

Of course, Jin Zhun still has to catch it if he can catch it, not for this incompetent person who has suffered defeat, but for the sake of his subordinates - it's always good to have more people back.

As for Jin Zhun himself, he is already tired of it.

Although he speaks quite nicely, he will also come to trouble, and he is very good at slapping horses, but if he can't do it, he can't do it.

This defeat, His Majesty will definitely remove him from his post - at least demoted, Liu Cang is not ready to protect him, it makes no sense.

"Shao Xun is more dangerous than those people in Guanzhong." Liu Cang suddenly sighed with emotion: "No wonder the first emperor valued him so much back then, if he could serve the Han Dynasty, it would be great." ”

Zhu Ji smiled bitterly, slightly jealous of Shao Xun.

These "stooping thieves" endure a lot of white eyes and ridicule on weekdays, and even have to offer their daughters to the Son of Heaven and the kings to enjoy, so they can barely maintain their current status.

Shao Xun was "unruly" and "resisted the heavenly soldiers", but he easily won the favor of the Xiongnu nobles, and even wanted to marry the princess to him.

One is to send a woman to the Huns, and the other is to send a daughter to you, thinking of this, Rao is full of poetry and books, and Zhu Ji wants to burst into foul language.

The way of this world, alas!
