After the battle at Baishan Mountain, the Easterners burned their camps and fled to Juyongguan. However, after the Westerners' great victory, the soldiers were exhausted, so they did not take advantage of the victory to pursue them. They only occupied Daijun and Shanggu counties, two miles away from Juyongguan.
A city was built to commemorate Baishan's victory.
Cao Ren's troops, which were hovering in the meander of the river, only learned of the news of Cao Cao's defeat and retreat five days after the battle. In addition, after Kebi Neng was defeated and retreated, there were no remaining troops left in the three counties of Yunzhong, Wuyuan, and Shuofang, so Liu Bei sent Zhang
Fei served as a general and led 20,000 troops to the west, easily regaining the three counties, and led more than a thousand people to blockade Huze and cut off the return route of the East. This made Cao Ren pale in fright. After discussing with Zhu Ling and Zhang, he finally
A few people were selected to take the small road back to Hebei in light packs, while all the more than 10,000 fine cavalry under his command and the captives of the Xiongnu kings stayed in Meiji.
Regarding the remnants of Kebineng in the north, Guan Yu was the main general in the Western Dynasty, and Tuoba Liwei was the assistant on the left, leading 20,000 cavalry towards Danhanshan. Kebineng was unable to fight anymore, so he could only abandon Danhanshan and lead the remaining troops.
Rushing to Mobei, there are as many as sixty-two Xianbei tribes who have surrendered.
At this point, the thirteen-year war in Yanxing has come to an end. At the cost of nearly 50,000 soldiers, the Western Army captured 30,000 Xianbei troops and 80,000 Eastern troops, and killed countless others. More importantly,
The country restored the entire territory of Bingzhou and occupied the Xianbei royal court. This was the first time since Tan Shihuai led the rise of Xianbei. After this war, although it could not boast that it could quickly destroy the Eastern Dynasty within two or three years, the Western Dynasty
The military's absolute superiority is irrefutable.
After arranging for the prisoners to be transported to Jinyang, Liu Bei also stayed in Pingcheng for a while, for no other reason than to have a banquet with the armies. Even though the military rations were somewhat tight, he still asked Chen Chong to squeeze out a batch of cattle and sheep to slaughter.
, to provide food and drink for the whole army for three days. And he himself held a banquet in the new canal of Wuchuan, and summoned Lieutenant General Zuo to join him in the banquet.
It was the middle of the day, and the banquet had been laid out by the river. Fazheng saw that all the food was ordinary food, and the wine was bland and tasteless. Although a lot of beef and mutton were roasted, the smell of mutton was still there.
It was very heavy, and even though he sprinkled some pepper that was unique to the Western Regions, he still frowned. Although the meat was not pleasing to the eye, fortunately there were grapes and melons. These were all paid tribute to the Bafu by merchants from the Western Regions. After the fruits were ripe, they
He then covered the fruits with soil, and when he wanted to use them, he broke the mud cover and took them out, which was enough to keep the fruits from spoiling for two months. So Fazheng picked some grapes and asked someone to drink with them.
Liu Bei raised two yellow dogs. By this time, they were already very strong and almost two feet tall when standing straight. He asked people to let the yellow dogs out, cut off a few large pieces of unroasted mutton, and threw them on the open ground.
Feed them food. The two dogs rushed forward and quickly bit and finished eating. Then someone threw two more powerful hares into them. Everyone watched the yellow dogs and hares chasing back and forth between the fields.
Laughing and talking.
At this time, Chen Chong suddenly heard the sound of sobbing beside him. When he looked carefully, it was Wei Yan, the governor of Chencang. When he saw Chen Chong looking over, his voice gradually sobbed. Chen Chong asked him: "Why, I remember you didn't even bother after the defeat in Bohai."
Crying, but feeling sad today?"
Wei Yan stopped and replied: "I was thinking of Yuan Zhi (Xu Shu). He was the same age as me. He joked with me in private and said that he must have been the governor before me, but now I have become the governor first, but he
But I can’t see it!” As he said this, he kept pouring wine into his mouth.
When Liu Bei heard this, he was also very sad. He clapped his knees and said: "In the sixth year of Yanxing's reign at Beipi, Yuan Zhi risked his life at the rear. It was seven years ago."
Everyone present also expressed regret and emotion. Duan Yan on the side comforted him and said: "Fortunately, we have won now. Our generation can still see the unification of the country, so young people like Yuan Zhi deserve to die."
Unexpectedly, at this time, Chang Xi was heard saying in a rough voice, as if talking to himself: "If young people could understand the general situation like Yuan Zhi, know how to advance and retreat, and are not afraid of death, why would we still be drinking here?
They have already reached Zhuojun!"
After finishing speaking, Chang Xi glanced at Fazheng, then turned back and continued drinking. The situation was a little awkward for a while, and everyone could see that he was a little dissatisfied with Fazheng. Probably because although the victory in this battle was great, there were also many casualties, and Chang Xi might
That’s why he regarded Fa Zheng as the cause of the war. So Liu Bei calmed down the atmosphere and said: "Lao Chang drank too much again and started to complain."
Chang Xi shouted at him: "Who said I drank too much? How can today's young people compare to our generation!" As he said this, he lifted up his clothes, revealing a dark mass of hair on his chest and underneath.
You can see that the belly is covered with scars.
Ma Chao smiled and said to him: "I also have scars, and in a few years there will be more scars than you."
Unexpectedly, Chang Xi sneered and didn't answer, turned away, grabbed a melon from the table, and asked his Cang Tou to peel it. Cang Tou took out a knife to peel the melon, and the peeled skin fell to the ground. Chang Xi picked it up again.
, saw that the peel was too thick and there was still flesh on it, he couldn't help but became furious. He took off his deerskin boots without thinking and threw it towards Cang Tou. Then he picked up the melon rind on the ground and gnawed it again.<
/p>
Ma Chao was puzzled, thinking that I wasn’t familiar with him, and I hadn’t offended him, right? Why was he angry with me? Could it be that he looked down on Liangzhou people? When he was sulking, Chen Chong came over, took Ma Chao’s arm and said
: "I heard that Meng Qi's archery skills are very good, and several of my students are trying to shoot. You can give them a lot of experience."
Ma Chao was flattered and agreed repeatedly. He followed Chen Chong into the forest and saw a bear's head hanging on the tree. The servant was pulling out the arrowhead, while Zhuge Liang and Deng Zhi were test-firing. Waiting for the bear's head to be replaced,
Kong Ming stood fifty steps away, nocked the arrow with force, aimed at the target, and shot the arrow, hitting the bear's nose. The onlookers nearby cheered. Chen rushed up and said with a smile: "Come on, let Meng Qi try it."
, you guys want to see real archery skills!"
Ma Chao was quite embarrassed, so he took the bow and said, "I'd like you to praise me." But when he drew the arrow and set the string, his expression suddenly became serious. Everyone saw that he had a green jade bracelet on his left thumb.
The faint hook marks surrounding it were the marks left by long-term hooking of the string. When Yujue hooked the string, he didn't use much force. He opened the bow a little, raised his right hand upwards, and quickly released his left hand without pausing at all.
String, the sharp arrow flew out quietly and shot in from where Kong Ming's arrow was. The two arrows touched and then made a snapping sound.
Before everyone could calm down, Liu Bei had already shouted loudly: "What a great arrow! With such a calm expression, only Huang Hansheng and Taishi Ziyi can match him in the army. Meng Qi is really a hero in Longshang!"
After hearing this, Kong Ming and others also applauded the combo section.
Amid people's admiration one after another, Ma Chao quickly saluted Liu Bei and said: "Superior skills are nothing more than small tricks. I used to live in Longshang and did not know the heroes of the Central Plains. This time I will follow the dragon leader and the general."
Only when you come here do you know what it is to be outside the world, and to be outside the world." He paused here for a while, then bowed and said: "I would like to follow the general in front of the saddle, fight against the injustice, and wipe out the ugly people."
Liu Bei was overjoyed and hurriedly asked Ma Chao: "How dare I not reuse Meng Qi Yingjie?"
When everyone saw this, they all thought: Although Liangzhou has surrendered to the country, the three towns on Longyou are like independent kingdoms, and it is difficult for the court to intervene. Now that Ma Chao is willing to bend the knee to the general, that means he recognizes him as the master, and the foundation of the Bafu will surely be stronger.
It’s profound.
While he was thinking about it, Chen Chong had quietly left the archery field and returned to the banquet to find Chang Xi. He found that he was still drinking alone. He couldn't help but patted Chang Xi on the back and asked with a smile: "What happened to Chang Xi today?"
Suffocated?"
Chang Xi glanced at him and complained: "When Xuande was in Dongping, the people who followed him were all knights and heroes, and the people who came and went were all righteous Hansheng. Drinking was just a pleasure. But today, the house is full of distinguished guests.
It makes me exhausted."
Chen Chong's heart suddenly brightened, and he knew that he could not see Fa Zheng and the behavior of famous disciples such as Ma Chao. He actually quite agreed with it, but he still said: "We have worked hard for half our lives, isn't it just so that the people in future generations don't have to endure hardship? If we fight
After half a lifetime of fighting, nothing has changed in the end. Isn’t it unfair?”
Chang Xi's face became better. Duan You sat over and smiled at Chang Xi: "Speaking of which, Jing'an, you were so impressive when you showed off your scar. Why don't you compare with me?" Chang Xi agreed happily.
, the two began to lift up their clothes to test the scars, and before they knew it, it was evening.
In the end, it turned out that Chang Xi had two more scars, and he finally laughed and forgot all about his unhappiness. At this time, bursts of golden autumn wind blew along the water surface of Wuchuan. The autumn feeling was getting stronger, which made people feel sad.
I feel a little chilly.
By the time the banquet broke up, Chang Xi was already very drunk. He didn't wear a hat, but only used a turban to wrap his hair. A stream of cool wind blew through his forehead, making him feel the smell of alcohol rising. Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore and hurriedly
He lay down and vomited. People said: "General Jing'an is drunk. Quickly find a bullock cart to take him to rest."
Chang Xi raised his head and waved his hands repeatedly, ordering Cang Tou to bring his mount over. He was so tall and staggered that he couldn't get on the horse, so the two Cang Tou put him on their shoulders and supported him on the horse's back with great difficulty.
He used his riding crop to drive away the crows, and without forgetting to say goodbye to everyone, he whipped his mount and trotted away.
The two old men quickly got on their horses and followed him. As the sky gradually darkened, the horse entered a jujube forest and began to run inexplicably. They saw Chang Xi's tall body undulating on the saddle.
Obviously, he could no longer keep up with the pace of his mount. When he just came out of the forest, Chang Xi rolled off his horse. His left foot was hung in the stirrup. After being carried by the horse for more than ten steps, the boot of his left foot was torn off.
The whole person rolled to the ground.

In the middle of the night, people used door panels to carry him back to the government office. At dawn, he gradually stopped breathing.
