Maybe half an hour or ten minutes.

Zhang Xiu woke up and was awakened by the cold. Although she was strong, it was impossible to sleep in this icy and snowy place. She just had a temporary rest.

Zhang Xiu took off his gloves and rubbed his face, then sat down cross-legged, raised his head and said to Ma Dai, "How is the situation now?"

Ma Dai woke up a little earlier than Zhang Xiu, and now he is in good spirits, and immediately replied:

"The pursuit is almost over. Killing and killing, and capturing Yuan's army."

Zhang Xiu nodded. This is not a number that will be counted soon. The same is true for our casualties. He stood up and looked around at the battlefield.

Countless corpses fell to the ground next to each other, and the blood had completely solidified. The vultures in the sky tried to fall, but were shot down by the archers and dared not fall.

Many soldiers began to deal with the bodies. Both Liang and Yuan were treated equally and dug a big hole and buried it.

Although this was a bit unfair to the defeated Liang Jun, it was also helpless. The corpse could not be transported back.

And if it is not buried, even if it is winter now, a large-scale plague may occur.

There are also recycling of weapons, arrows, armor and other materials.

"Let's go back." Zhang Xiu turned over the war horse and led Ma Dai and others back to the camp.

In front of the Central Army's tent, Xu Huang was wearing a regular dress and bowed to welcome him. Zhang Xiu turned over and dismounted. Without waiting for Xu Huang to salute, he entered the tent to burn the fire.

"Go and get the wine and food." Zhang Xiu ordered.

"promise."

Xu Huang's personal soldiers agreed and turned around.

Zhang Xiu came to the coach's throne and sat down, Ma Dai stood beside him. Xu Huang came to the first person on the left to sit down.

"Although the specific casualties still need to be counted, you probably should have a clear idea in your mind. Can we attack Shangdang now?"

Zhang Xiu couldn't wait to ask.

Wen Chou was killed and Yuan’s army suffered numerous losses. Now Guo Tu is guarding the city of Shangdang. Cao Cao should be nearby.

If Cao Cao can invade Shangdang before he arrives at Shangdang, then he can cut off Cao Cao's retreat and lock Cao Cao in Bingzhou.

"No." Xu Huang shook his head decisively and said, "Although the Yuan army collapsed in the end, our soldiers suffered too much casualties. We fought for a long time and are unable to launch an attack now."

"pity."

Zhang Xiu sighed and said.

However, the tired army cannot force orders, otherwise the soldiers will complain, which will affect morale.

............

The northwest direction of Shangdang is about a hundred miles away.

The word "Cao" is flying flags, and a large number of Cao's soldiers heading towards Shangdang. After they retreated from Jinyang, they have been marching like this.

Cao Cao was wearing a heavy helmet and heavy armor, but he was still trembling coldly. However, his heart was warm.

After inhaling a mouthful of cold air, Cao Cao turned his head to the personal soldiers and said, "I ordered the soldiers to work harder. When I arrived at Shangdang, there would be broth and wine."

"promise."

The personal soldiers responded and rode their horses down. Cao Cao looked around, and the soldiers were all excited and their paces accelerated.

He smiled slightly and looked up at Xiang Shangdang.

Although the situation in Bingzhou is no longer reversible. As long as Shangdang Wen is ugly and Guo Tu remains unmoved, the army withdraws from Jizhou intact, it will be considered a victory.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao felt nervous again. He looked back at the closed and tight carriage in the team.

Guo Jia, a sick and weak strategist, was lying inside and humming.

He once said that Wen Chou might choose to attack.

"Wen Chou, you must be obedient and don't attack." Cao Cao said in his heart.

After walking for more than ten miles, it was already noon. It was a bit difficult to reach Shangdang before dark, but there was no way, so I could only march at night.

"Dadada." A knight in front rode his horse, looking panicked.

When Cao Cao saw this person, his heart suddenly skipped a beat, and a bad premonition emerged in his heart.

"Lord. General Wen Chou led 70,000 troops to fight with the Liang army. He was defeated and killed by Zhang Xiu." The knight came to Cao Cao and whispered.

Cao Cao was stunned. Then he turned dizzy and almost fell down from his horse. The thing he didn't want to see happened. Wen Chou actually sent troops to fight with the Liang army.

Where is Zhang Xiu? Didn’t Zhang Xiu just lead his troops to defeat Xianggao? How could he lead his troops outside Shangdang City? Is this a clone technique?

Or, Zhang Xiu marched day and night outside Shangdang City, giving Wen Chou a fatal blow?

If that's the case, then Zhang Xiu is so terrible.

Either fighting or on the road to fighting.

The expression on Cao Cao's face changed. He took a few deep breaths before suppressing the emotions in his heart.

"Don't let go out, so as not to shake the army's heart." Cao Cao whispered to the knight.

"No." The knight was shocked and agreed.

"Damn Wen Chou. Although he is brave and good at fighting, he is just a brave man." Cao Cao tightened the reins of the horse, and tried very hard.

The night.

The north gate of Shangdang city opened. Guo Tu personally led some generals to welcome Cao Cao.

"General Cao." Guo Tu took a breath after seeing Cao Cao's face clearly, bowed and bowed to salute. Although he looked down on Cao Cao, it did not prevent him from regarding Cao Cao as a life-saving medicine at this moment.

Wen Chou was defeated and died. There are no generals in the city to guard it, and people's hearts are fluctuating. If the Liang army outside the city is repaired and launched an attack, he will not have the confidence to defend the city.

Cao Cao did not give Guo Tu a good look, but said, "Retract the troops immediately. You go first, I will cut off the rear. Give up all the land in Bingzhou. But let Gao Lan lead his troops to defend Huguan."

Guo Tu opened his mouth, and Cao Cao didn't even ask how many soldiers they died or injured, and how many soldiers were left, so he just ran away.

But after thinking for a while, he didn't make a quibble and replied, "Okay."

That night, the flag of the word "Cao" was hung on Shangdang City. Cao Cao declared ownership of the city.

Early the next morning, Guo Tu led the remnants of the 100,000 army and slowly headed eastward.

The morale of the remaining soldiers was extremely low, and all the soldiers lowered their heads and walked forward weakly. Even the generals were like this.

The killing of Wen Chou, one of the four famous generals in Hebei, was a fatal blow. What's even more terrifying is that they lost Bingzhou. Everyone knows that with Zhang Xiu's greedy personality, the next war will be in Jizhou.

Most of this group of people are from Jizhou. Jizhou is his hometown.

Guo Tu, who led the troops, has already begun to think about how to defend Jizhou.
