"Don't leave, boy Fan Chou! Fight with your grandfather for a hundred rounds!" Zhang Fei was so angry that he was so angry when he saw Fan Chou's abandoned army escape.

Unfortunately, there were so many chaotic soldiers in front of him. Even if Zhang Fei killed him, the enemy would kneel down and descend. He wasted a long time before Zhang Fei could break through the enemy formation. The congested soldiers, who had blocked the road, really delayed his chance to chase Fan Chou.

However, Fan Chou's escape also led to the soldiers of Dong Yue, the general of the Central Army, who had 20,000 to 30,000 people, and in the end only a few thousand people escaped. Most of the remaining were intercepted by Zhang Fei, Gan Ning and Dian Wei.

The blocked troops were without a leader, and they were not as elite as Zhang Fei's army. They fought for half an hour for a short time. Except for a few people who were killed who were stubbornly killed, nearly 20,000 people finally chose to surrender.

The three parties were busy counting the results of the war and rectifying the prisoners, and the additional sub-soldiers chased them for dozens of miles. After working hard all day, they finally found that among the prisoners, there were more than 8,000 veterans in Xiliang and more than 13,000 local recruits in Youfufeng, who were all rookies who had just been arrested for a few months.

The previous siege battle of more than ten days had caused seven or eight thousand veterans in Xiliang, and three or four thousand strong peasant soldiers. In addition, today's three blood-blocking battles were killed and thousands of dead, including those who trampled themselves into the Western Han River and drowned and disappeared.

In general, the other party brought in more than 40,000 people from Chen Cang (more than 20,000 veterans from Xiliang and nearly 20,000 new recruits), and there were only a few thousand people who returned alive and were captured 20,000.

The army of the puppet court, from 200,000 people when Dong Zhuo was alive, had already lost more than 180,000 after the fight between Wang Yun and Lu Bu and Li Guo. Now Liu Bei has almost wiped out a general of the Central Army, and the total strength of the Li Guo court has further dropped to 150,000 people.

Among them, the number of people in the Xiliang system has also been reduced to more than 120,000, and 20,000 to 30,000 are the original Bingzhou soldiers and the Northern Army of the Capital.

Li Guo still has 60,000 in the hands of these 120,000 in the Western Liang soldiers, Duan Wei still has 40,000 in the hands of Zhang Ji, Zhang Xiu, and Jia Xu. There are 20,000 in the hands of these 120,000 in the hands of these 120,000 in the hands of these 120,000 in the hands of these 120,000 in the hands of these 120,

Although they could recruit new soldiers and men to join the army at any time due to the brutality of the Li Guo court, their quality was different from those of these troops that began to expand after Dong Zhuo controlled the court in 190. (The above mentioned Dong Zhuo had 200,000 troops, which means that there were so many troops when he died. Most of them expanded from 190 to 192. Because during this period, Dong Zhuo controlled the money, grain and financial resources of the entire central court, and plundered them in large numbers, so he could increase his troops several times. Before Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, he had only 40,000 to 50,000, and only 10,000 under each Central Army General.)

After counting the results of the battle, Zhang Fei was still a little unsatisfied and confirmed with Gan Ning hatefully: "I heard that there are nearly 20,000 people in Hechi County. Zhang Ji's troops were entangled by Hu Chuquan? They were not attracted to eat them? What a pity! If my second brother hadn't been able to get there, I would give us half a month to rectify the reinforcements of the subsequent army and directly wrap a larger pocket!

Then there is no need to Huqiquan. Sell Hechi County to the rebels, so that they are more satisfied with underestimating the enemy and making them more aggressive. We will take away 20,000 more bandits in one go! At that time, Chen Cang is empty, and maybe he can directly counterattack Chen Cang! According to the size of Dong Yue and Zhang Ji's troops, if Zhang Xiu is not allowed to escape back, there will definitely be only a few thousand soldiers guarding the city in Chen Cang City at this moment."

I have to say that Zhang Fei has a really big appetite. A big battle lasting for a month and a half, with a depth of more than 300 miles. After so long, he just brought the main force to sweep the finish. It was not enough to swallow 40,000 Xiliang Army. He wanted to swallow all 60,000 in one breath.

Fortunately, it was already a great victory. There was nothing wrong with everyone's blowing and complaining when cleaning the battlefield. They forgot about it. After they tried to save their weapons, they repaired them all night near Xiguan Post, and then entered Yangping Pass one after another, preparing to offer prisoners to Liu Bei-

It is also necessary to be so cautious. After all, the number of prisoners of war is slightly larger than the total number of on-site combat troops on the victorious side. If the weapon is not disbanded and reorganized, it is easy to cause trouble.

However, what surprised Zhang Fei, Gan Ning and others was that just because they had been cleaning the battlefield for a day, when they were about to enter Yangping Pass before noon the next day, they encountered a team of cavalry scouts coming from Chencang Road in the northwest.

At that time, Zhang Fei immediately asked his scouts to guard him, thinking that some surviving enemy was lost and looking for death. After getting close, the other party reported to his house and found out that it was the Southern Xiongnu Huchuquan who brought reinforcements from Hechi County, and the cavalry team was mixed with Fazheng who came to report the good news from Hechi County.

Zhang Fei immediately went out to inquire about the situation: "Why did Mr. Xiaozhi come here? When the enemy retreated, the encirclement on Hechi was also untied? There are more than a hundred miles of land coming over there. Didn't you encounter any defeated soldiers on the way?"

Fa Zheng showed off proudly: "It's been resolved long ago - Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu were really cunning and alert. Yesterday afternoon, I found out that there was a defeat in the south. I also heard that Dong Yue was dead. They immediately set off the camp, but they gave up the camp and marched back to Chencang.

They had 10,000 or 20,000 people, and we dared not chase them. But after their main force left, the wise king Huchuquan saw that the enemy troops who had been defeated from Yangping Pass passed east of Hechi. He thought that they were weak enemies and could get some credit, so he led his troops to attack. He was really intercepted and killed and captured one or two thousand Xiliang cavalry, and also captured a general Fan Chou. We came to offer Fan Chou's head overnight."

(Note: Yufuluo Shanyu named his brothers the left and right wise kings)

Fa Zheng said, waved his hand and signaled a cavalry of the Southern Xiongnu Khan next to him to take a sack and shake out a head of it. It was indeed Fan Chou.

Fa Zheng lowered his voice and said, "The King of Huchuquan showed off his hard work to me and Brother Zijing, saying that in order to kill Fan Chou, dozens of Hun warriors were killed in battle, all of whom were the most elite personal guards. Moreover, they suffered a lot of losses in this battle, so they had to ask the right general to increase their money.

He had agreed with the right general that he would assist in the defense of Hechi County and not allow the Xiliang army to rush into Wudu County to carry out damage, and the task would be completed. The attack and destruction of Fan Chou would be calculated to be 30 million yuan."

Zhang Fei felt quite funny when he heard this - these barbarians just don’t know the kindness, morality, and righteousness, so they know that fighting a war is a money.

But this is a headache for Li Suyou. Zhang Fei didn't have to comment. He just smiled and scolded, "Let's go to my elder brother to contribute his merits. Let them tell Boya about the money, let me care about us."

Anyway, Li Su would not pay the money himself, so in the end, it was Liu Bei who paid the public funds, or Liu Bei asked his concubine's wealthy businessman's family for it.

...

In the afternoon of that day, the generals led their troops into Yangping Pass. Liu Bei and Li Su had already cooked sheep and slaughtered cattle outside the west gate of Mianyang County, and held a banquet to prepare to reward the army.

As soon as Zhang Fei met, he got off his horse and ran away, laughing with Liu Bei: "Brother! I've given you a sigh of anger. I heard that these Xiliang dogs are in Wuzhangyuan and bullying our elite soldiers are in Nanzhong. Now they can be regarded as letting them know how powerful we are."

Liu Bei didn't say much, and handed it to Zhang Fei first, and while drinking, he patted Zhang Fei sincerely. He obviously knew his third brother's drinking skills and was not worried that he would be choked:

"Third brother, if it weren't for you this time, the generals would have to use their lives to get the heads of those dog thieves. Brother, I don't know how to face the rewards given by Wang Situ, and I don't know how to face Wu Lan and Cheng Ji's family. At the critical moment, it's up to you."

It can be heard that Liu Bei is still very urgent for a big victory, not only for the tangible practical interests of territory, but also for the source of troops.

It was also to make the reward edict before Wang Yun's death more than a month ago, and to be worthy of the soldiers who died.

The invisible political pressure is too great.

Zhang Fei didn't expect that his elder brother would say this as soon as he came up, and he was slightly stunned by drinking. After all, he had no political mind at all. Even if he had some intelligence, he was still focused on military tactics.

Liu Bei spoke so eagerly, and Zhang Fei laughed and took Fan Chou's head from Fa Zheng, then took Dong Yue's head from Gan Ning, and waved to Liu Bei:

"Brother, I have to give priority to Xingba and Xiaozhi. Oh, I should ask Boya for money and pay the Xiongnu cavalry who helped fight. I didn't have the chance to kill any prominent thief generals this time.

But you are too worried. Among the Han clans in the world, who can be loyal to the court and sincere to the elder brother? Who can make the elder brother's contribution? So what if you lose a small battle before, are you still afraid that others will not accept being the king of Hanzhong? If I ask me, if the emperor is really weak and ignorant and let the thief ministers do anything, what will happen in the future, the elder brother should be the emperor!”

Liu Bei's face changed when he heard this and he beated: "Rareless! Yide, you are drunk too much! I think you are on the whim when you kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions today. I will not blame you deeply. If you don't want to be banned, stop immediately!"

Zhang Fei retreated a little while drunk and muttered, "If you don't say it, don't say it, then just talk about the war. If the elder brother really thinks that he can make more contributions to the court and even rescue the emperor, he can only accept the king calmly. Then let's continue the Northern Expedition!

It just so happened that the Xiliang rebels in Youfufeng were wiped out by us. Almost all the generals of the Central Army, with tens of thousands of people. Now Chen Cang seems to have only one lieutenant left. Now we can transfer our second brother’s troops back, and then be kind to Liu Jingzhou, so that Zilong will come back. After gathering enough cases, wouldn’t it be nice to take this opportunity to seize Chen Cang? Even if there are more than 100,000 rebels in Chang'an, as long as Chen Cang’s foothold is stable, he will sooner or later wait for an opportunity to break Chang'an and rescue the emperor!"

These words did not involve politics at all, and there was no major rebellion or arbitrage. They were purely military cards. After hearing this, Liu Bei just pondered and did not scold him again.

However, Li Su, who had been by his side, said to stop him: "Yingde should not be reckless! A soldier is a weapon, and he will provoke his troops without making comprehensive preparations. Isn't it a shame? The lord saved the lord Wuzhangyuan that time, but it can be said that it was because he knew that the emperor was in danger and knew that he could not do it. It was the loyalty and righteousness of the minister.

But now that Wang Yun is dead, the emperor has fallen into the hands of Li Jue and Guo Si, and it seems that the two thieves have no intention of hurting the emperor for the time being. Since this is the case, there is no urgent danger in comforting the emperor. Why don’t we slowly plan to do it? Maybe you think that the battle of Wuzhangyuan is "strong, I am weak, I am weak, so I am weak, so I am successful." Today, the battle of Yangping Pass is "I am strong, and I am weak, so I am successful, so I am able to attack, right?

It's not that simple. These two battles are not only the stronger ones, but also the defenders, and the defenders are also the more victorious. The Qinling Mountains have a natural danger of hundreds of miles, and the punishment for the attacking side is too great. Sun Tzu said: If you want ten, you will surround them, and if you want five, you will attack them. When Jia Xu dared to instigate Dong Yue and Fan Chou to attack Yang, he would only dare to take action based on the combat power of the Nanzheng defender five times that of the Nanzheng army.
