After learning that Arubu had fled to the capital, the Jiazhou army also slowed down the pursuit, because Li You knew that the walls of the capital were tall and solid, and could not be attacked overnight. They needed to be cautious. Before that, there were still tens of thousands of Northern Governors scattered in various parts of Jingji Province, and they had to be found. So he sent Qin Shixin to lead 20,000 troops to the south of the capital to camp and monitor the dynamics of the capital. He led the remaining troops to continue to sweep the Northern Governors' defeated troops.

At the same time, the Shu King army at the intersection of Shannan East Road and Gyeonggi Road was once again in a state of confusion. The chief general Luo Zhaoyuan had already learned of the defeat of the Beilu army. While he was surprised by the powerful combat effectiveness of the Jiazhou army, he also began to wonder whether he could take this opportunity to recover the cities occupied by the Beilu.

However, the other generals in the Shu King's army were hesitant. After hearing the news of Arubu's defeat, the Beilu army had already left the city and fled north. It would not take any effort to recover these cities. But what should be done next is the biggest problem. Will the Jiazhou army allow them to occupy these cities? Don't just send a wolf away, but get involved in a tiger?

Luo Zhaoyuan has only 30,000 troops under his command, and his combat effectiveness is quite different from that of the Northern Barbarians, let alone compared with the Jiazhou Army. However, the abandonment of the city before has already made the adults in Shu dissatisfied. Now a great opportunity is in front of him. If he does nothing, can this official position be maintained?

"General, in the opinion of students, if you can't take these cities, at most you will lose your post and get rid of your post! Instead, you can go back to Shu to live a peaceful life without having to worry about these four battles. But if you offend the Jiazhou army, you may be worried about your life!" The aide saw his troubles, turned his eyes a few times and found a sufficient reason.

Yes, even if you lose your official position, what's the big deal? Anyway, our Luo family has a lot of power in Shu. Even if I don't become this general, I can return to Shu to enjoy wealth. Wouldn't it be much more comfortable than staying here? Why bother to provoke the Jiazhou army? Luo Zhaoyuan was soon convinced by this aide and quickly ordered the entire army not to move lightly, just to strictly guard his camp.

So Luo Zhaoyuan's Shu army regained his calmness again. They guarded the pass and ignored the empty city in front of him, allowing the Jiazhou army to occupy these cities that should have belonged to them. At this time, the King of Shu and the ministers in Shu were furious and wanted to punish Luo Zhaoyuan greatly according to their wishes. However, due to the help of the Luo family, no general in Shu dared to replace Luo Zhaoyuan and guard the Jiazhou army here, so Luo Zhaoyuan only received a few words of reprimands and punishment for several months of salary, without even a single hair.

During this period, Li You had already led his troops to wipe out all the remaining soldiers in Gyeonggi Province. The large army was surrounded and annihilated by the Jiazhou army. The small number of scattered soldiers who escaped into the mountains were also found out by the people of Gyeonggi Province and the green forest heroes, and informed them to the Jiazhou army. Then they led the Jiazhou army to find these people, kill or capture them.

Finally, the results of the battle were counted. Arubu led a total of nearly 300,000 troops to the south in this battle. In the first few days of defense, the Jiazhou army annihilated about 50,000 troops, and the results achieved in the pursuit battle were even more brilliant. A total of tens of thousands of Beilu troops died in pursuit, of which almost half were killed by exhaustion of physical strength, killing each other, and falling and falling. In addition, more than 100,000 strong men became prisoners of the Jiazhou army. There were a group of coolies on the mines, water conservancy construction sites, and road construction sites in Jiazhou. Wang Ji and Gu Jiangzi could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

In addition, the supplies that Arubu had no time to take away also fell into the pocket of the Jiazhou army. Tens of thousands of war horses, countless swords, guns, armor, and food. The gold, silver and wealth captured from all over the Central Plains were enough to make up for the consumption brought by the Jiazhou army this time. They also quit drinking and countless craftsmen and coolies detained by the Northern Capitols. After being released by the Jiazhou army, they all burst into tears and were grateful to the Jiazhou army and Li You.

"After this battle, the strength of the Northern Legion was greatly damaged, and decades of accumulation were lost. They were like evil wolves who were broken. From then on, they would not be threatening the Central Plains. It is only a matter of time to attack Longcheng and recover the inner road of the Pass in the future." The happiest person in this victory was probably Sun Chuyang, who was responsible for the logistics affairs of the Jiazhou Army. He was full of confidence in the future of the Jiazhou Army and expressed his views happily in the commander's tent.

"Although the old wolf broke its backbone, there are still countless young wolves on the Mobei grasslands and eyeing the Central Plains. If we relax a little, it won't take long to grow sharp minions and threaten the safety of the border counties again." Li You did not lose his vigilance. The competition on the grasslands was much more intense than the Central Plains. A tribe was in decline or rose very quickly. Although Arubu had already reached the end, he would still not relax his vigilance against Mobei.

The Huns were to the Han Dynasty, the Turks were to the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Khitans, Jurchens, Mongolias were to the Song Dynasty, Tatars, and Jurchens were to the Ming Dynasty. These Manchus from the north never stopped invading the Central Plains. If the Central Plains felt that the world was peaceful and relaxed their attention to the north, they would definitely face disasters, and Li You would never relax in this regard.

"Although our army suffered not much losses in this battle, we first attacked Henan Road and then defeated Arubu. Now we have to attack the capital. Not only are the soldiers becoming increasingly tired, but the pressure on logistics supply is also increasing." Although this victory has obtained a lot of spoils, the supply of food is still difficult, especially when there are more than 100,000 prisoners. Therefore, taking down the capital is probably the limit of this time. Li You will not be blinded by victory and urged the tired soldiers to continue attacking. "So after taking down the capital, we will have to rest for a while, move the Jiazhou court to the capital, and then go north to clean up next year."

Although the generals felt a little regretful, what Li You said was the truth, so he gave up his plan to invade the inner road now and focused on discussing the plan to recover the capital. When discussing military affairs, these people inevitably began to think a lot. Perhaps when the capital is recovered, the Taiwei should ascend the throne and become emperor?
