Shao Dan seemed to suddenly wake up. found that he only had 100,000 men. From 300,000 to 100,000, Shao Dan is simply unacceptable, this is his own descendant troops, once there are too many casualties, his weight in the eyes of the Han Taishou will be greatly reduced. Seeing the only 100,000 troops, at this time, Shao Dan hesitated. Although he knew that as long as he was ruthless and chose another county seat at random, he would definitely be able to break it. But after the breakthrough, this Hedong County is not the base camp of Chushan, and it will never be able to hit the northern county with its own 100,000 troops. What's more, even if he arrived in the Northern County, how sure would he be that he would be able to defeat Chu Shan at that time? Shao Dan kept weighing and found that he could only protect himself by retreating.

As a result, the offensive of the next day immediately weakened. Gao Shun didn't understand the mystery, but Chu Shan was different, Chu Shan had already discovered that Shao Dan's sharpness had been lost, and eighty percent was about to retreat. So he and Tai Shici secretly withdrew, and each led 6,000 cavalry to ambush on the necessary way to withdraw from Hedong County. Sure enough, within two days, Shao Dan suddenly left the camp without the slightest warning, and even Gao Shun was stunned. He only has 8,000 soldiers left, as long as Shao Dan is holding out for a few days, he may not be able to hold it, why withdraw his troops at this critical juncture?

Gao Shun is a pure military general who does not understand politics, so he does not understand Shao Dan's thoughts. But Chu Shan is different, Chu Shan knows that Shao Dan is to preserve his strength so as not to be swallowed up by other forces. In the past two days, Shao Dan has lost another 5,000 soldiers, and now I am afraid that there are only 95,000 soldiers. The soldiers quickly retreated towards Qinghe County. There was not the slightest obstacle along the way, as if the cavalry of Chushan did not exist. But the more this happens, the more Shao Dan can't feel at ease. But seeing that he was about to leave Chu Shan's sphere of influence, he still didn't encounter an ambush, although he was puzzled, he was still secretly relieved. After all, the current Shao Dan is really unwilling to lose even the strength of a soldier. But it backfired, and when Shao Dan's troops had just crossed half of the river between Qinghe County and Hedong County, the cavalry came all over the field, but there was only a small bridge in front of them, so all the soldiers were scrambling to seize the road and flee. Although the previous soldiers were already lined up south of the bridge. But the soldiers in the north of the bridge became a mess, and Chu Shan's 6,000 cavalry continued to harvest the lives of Shao Dan's soldiers in this situation, and Chu Shan killed 20,000 soldiers in this battle. 10,000 soldiers were collected. Shao Dan's real strength to escape back was only 50,000. At last. Shao Dan didn't have the courage to come back. had no choice but to flee towards his Chen Liujun in a hurry.

Chu Shan watched Shao Dan flee in a hurry with 50,000 remnants of his army, and did not continue the pursuit, and now Shao Dan was still needed to suppress the ambitions of other Taishou princes in the south. Otherwise, it will be a mess then. Since the death of the Han Emperor, the Han Dynasty has existed in name only, and no one has listened to the orders of the Jingshi. Shao Dan's prestige is very high, and he is a good agent in the eyes of everyone in the world, plus Shao Dan himself is not a stupid person, this time he targeted Chu Shan mainly because Chu Shan's threat was too great, but since this operation failed, it was nothing, with Shao Dan's connections and accumulation, he could recover in a short time. Besides, this operation is not completely without benefits, at least some of the Taishou of some counties and counties of Dahan were killed by the loss of the chaotic army, and as for who the final murderer is, no one knows it, so he has to stop it. But for Shao Dan, it was a great joy, he could send his henchmen and generals to take these counties into his own hands, so that he could control more territory, and he would have more confidence to compete with Chushan for hegemony at that time. What's even more rare is that you can blame the death of these Taishou to Chu Shan, let Chu Shan carry a black cauldron, and then naturally take over the army and population of these territories, and then naturally deal with Chu Shan, in the name of revenge, it is really a double win.

However, these are not what Chu Shan can control now, Chu Shan needs to have someone in the south who can avoid the princes from fighting, and then Chu Shan has absolute confidence in unifying the Han Dynasty. After solving the war in Hedong County, Shao Dan's four-way army was only left with Gongsun Xu and Zhou Fu, and the number of troops on these two roads was not large, and each army was now only more than 100,000. It is worth mentioning that these more than 100,000 troops still have different orders and are difficult to control, after all, each Taishou is unwilling to completely hand over their army to the rest of the people, so even if the Taishou is not present in person, the leader of the army is also the confidant of each Taishou, and he will definitely not rebel. Therefore, every time the siege is carried out, each family will preserve its strength, so the siege war seems to be a bit nondescript, as if it was agreed, a few days before Shao Dan's defeat and retreat, that is, to make a show, every time Ming Jin will quickly withdraw his troops, and the number of deaths in each battle will not exceed two thousand.

Now Chushan has ended the three battles of Wuyuan County, Shangdang County and Hedong County, and now only the battle of Changshan County remains. In Changshan County, Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao each had 50,000 troops, but there were no cavalry, so they could only passively defend the city. After all, the two of them were facing an army of more than 100,000 people, and the camp was heavily guarded, and it was almost impossible to sneak attack. In the past few months, Gongsun Xu and Zhou Fu have both lost about 50,000 soldiers, and Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao's armies have also lost about 20,000, about a ratio of one to three. Each had only 30,000 troops left, while the other side had 100,000 troops. After Chu Shan had finished several previous battles, he sent a message to Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun that they must drag these people in Changshan County. He and Tai Shici were rushing over, and then annihilated them in one fell swoop. Then, with a great victory, he captured Qinghe County, Guangling County and Dong County adjacent to the Chushan Mountains. In order to achieve this strategic goal, Chu Shan asked Gao Shun to prepare, and after ending the battle of Changshan County, he immediately led his troops to attack Qinghe County, and he was caught off guard, and he would definitely be able to capture the entire Qinghe County in one fell swoop.

On this day, Zhang Liao looked at the camp of Zhou Fu's 100,000 troops outside in the county seat, which was stretching and there was no end in sight. Zhang Liao felt very aggrieved, because he had no way to take the initiative to attack, but only a passive defense, which made Zhang Liao hold back endless anger in his stomach. But see more than 100,000 troops on the opposite side. Looking at the team under his command, which can reach 30,000, it is indeed gloomy. The strength of his own troops is indeed too small, if he can have thousands of cavalry, he will not have to bother so much when the time comes. Zhang Liao's problem, Zhao Yun also encountered it, but there was no way. There was no cavalry, and the other party had learned the lesson of the Allied army being cut off from the food route, so he was very cautious. Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao did not have the slightest chance. However, now that Chu Shan and Tai Shi Ci have come, do they still have a chance?

After Chu Shan discussed with Tai Shici. It was decided to divide the forces again in two ways. Tai Shi Ci led the cavalry to meet Zhao Yun. Confronting Gongsun Xu, as for Chu Shan himself, he was indeed looking for fighters and preparing to sneak attack Zhou Fu's camp. At this time, the news that Chu Shan and Tai Shici had come to Changshan County had not yet been leaked. Chu Shan decided to launch a surprise attack the next day when Zhou Fu was attacking the city.

The next day. Zhou Fu really didn't disappoint Chu Shan. The siege is still very powerful. But. Chu Shan was indeed very happy about this situation, because Zhou Fu didn't expect Chu Shan's speed to be so fast, and he just wanted to capture the county seat earlier. The war lasted two hours. Neither side has any intention of stopping. At this time, there was a sudden riot in Zhou Fu's rear army camp, which seemed to have been attacked by someone, and there was a mess everywhere.

After Zhou Fu got the news, he immediately asked what had happened to the rear army. But the disappointing thing is that no one knows. It took about a cup of tea before the general of the rear army came to report that the rear army had been attacked, and that the enemy had thousands of cavalry. Zhou Fu was furious, "You have 30,000 troops, but you have been defeated by thousands of cavalry, what other faces do you have to come to see me." "After saying that, I want to correct it. Thanks to the intercession of the rest of his colleagues, he was exonerated in the form of meritorious service. In the end, the situation came slowly. It turned out that each horse of Chushan's six thousand cavalry had a branch tied to its tail, and when so many cavalry charged together, the dust raised by the horse's tail and the dust of the horses themselves made Chushan's army look like there were tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. This frightened Zhou Fu's rear generals, and the 30,000 infantry encountered tens of thousands of cavalry when they were unprepared, so there was really no way, so they immediately made a decision, and sent their lieutenants to report back to Zhou Fu in front while organizing a retreat. Later, after a fierce confrontation, I learned that the other side had thousands of cavalry. However, there was no way to change the formation immediately, so it had to retreat, and in the process of the infantry retreat, it was pursued by the cavalry and suffered heavy losses, so it turned from a retreat into a rout. The 30,000 infantry were scattered and I don't know how many were missing, and less than 10,000 returned to the camp in the end. The rest of the soldiers were either beheaded by the cavalry, trampled by the rebels during the retreat, and some hid and did not want to return to the barracks.

It can be said that this attack by Chu Shan directly knocked out one-fifth of Zhou Fu's army, that is, 20,000 people. After the spell understood the situation, he immediately withdrew his troops and prepared for Zhou Kai's military meeting to discuss countermeasures. At that time, something surprising happened, the county seat, which usually did not move, was indeed open at this time, and Zhang Liao rushed out first, slashing at the retreating soldiers, and there were 10,000 troops behind, and the momentum was amazing. And Zhou Fu's soldiers seemed to be stunned, and they didn't expect why Zhang Liao's soldiers, who were usually very calm, would come out. It wasn't until many of the soldiers were killed that they reacted. However, the current Zhou Fu's army is retreating, because Zhang Liao usually does not pay the slightest attention, and they do not have the slightest order when they retreat, this time, Zhang Liao found that Zhou Fu's rear army camp was in chaos, and immediately took advantage of the situation when Zhou Fu Mingjin collected his troops to rush out and kill for a while, and before Zhou Fu reacted, he collected his troops and returned to the city. In this short period of an hour, Zhang Liao directly killed more than 5,000 soldiers under Zhou Fu, making Zhou Fu suffer a big loss.

After returning to the county seat, Zhang Liao's lieutenant general asked, "General, how do you know that Zhou Fu didn't lure the general out of the city this time?"

> Indeed, three days ago, General Ben had received a battle report from his lord. Zhang Liao said with a smile, "The lord has repelled the grassland coalition army, forced Yuan Shou and Li Yang to surrender, defeated Shao Dan's 300,000 troops, and has begun to support us." ”

>> Yes, this doesn't mean that the riot in Zhou Fu's rear army camp is real, in case it is fake, isn't the general going out at this time just in Zhou Fu's arms?"

"First, the riot in the camp of the rear army does not seem to be fake, and the entire camp seems to have collapsed. Secondly, we have not said anything when the enemy retreats before, and this time they will not be on guard when they withdraw their troops, as long as we go out to sneak attack for a while, as long as we move quickly, no matter what Zhou Fu prepares, he will not have time to arrange, we can return to the city along the way, so we are actually invincible.
