There are many factors that affect a war. In addition to the strength of both sides, the quality of equipment, weather, terrain, etc., can determine the direction of a war. In addition, there is the mysterious so-called destiny, as well as the morale of the soldiers, which are the key factors in victory or defeat.

The Bingzhou Army was also considered elite, but when Huang Zhong suddenly killed under the banner of the Qingzhou Army, their psychological defense line still collapsed. If the Youzhou army comes to the rescue, this is nothing, and it is expected. The appearance of the Qingzhou Army made the soldiers think a little more, Youzhou and Qingzhou have completely joined forces, is this a trap?

It was this little bit of thought that made them completely understand that the military operation they participated in had failed. At this time, the retreat of the main general proved this point. Since he was defeated, the next thing to consider is how to save his life when retreating.

When Huang Zhong and Yan Rou led their troops to pursue and cover up, and when there were more and more soldiers from the state with the first goal of escaping, Gao Gan finally couldn't control the situation. A thousand miles of embankment collapsed in an anthill. Gao Gan even killed several soldiers who did not obey the command and scurried around, but he could not stop the defeat, so he had to join the fleeing queue under the escort of the adjutant general.

Gao Gan fled, and the state army completely collapsed. The group of soldiers who were still fighting in formation, seeing that the lord was about to throw them down, fled in a hurry regardless of them, and shouted and cursed one after another.

A fierce-looking captain with a group of men and horses was slashing and killing everywhere, fighting and leaving, and suddenly saw the defeat of the army like an avalanche, and then looked at the banner of Gao Gan, he was hugged by the pro-army and fled farther and farther, and he couldn't help but curse angrily. Seeing the tide of defeated troops around him, the captain took his knife and slashed indiscriminately, and the surrounding soldiers scolded when they saw that he killed indiscriminately regardless of the enemy and me. The lieutenant slashed over a soldier who was standing in front of him, and said fiercely with a bloody broadsword: "Death to those who stand in the way!" The crowd was afraid of its ruthlessness and avoided it. More than 10,000 troops, either dead or surrendered, and only such ruthless people broke through the siege together and killed the chaotic army.

Huang Zhong and Yan Rou broke through the high cadres, pursued for dozens of miles, and returned with victory. Gao Gan fled all the way, and when he arrived at the foot of Gaoliu City, he stopped his pace, so he gathered the remnants of the soldiers in the Gaoliu camp, and then retreated.

It is easy to enter Daijun from Yanmen, and it is easy to enter Yanmen from Daigun. Of course, Gao Gan understands this truth. When he retreated, he made Gao Rou lead a group of men and horses to be stationed in Ban's in Dai County, which is a small county town upstream of Sangganshui, with Yanmen behind it. If Huang Zhong and Yan Rou lead the army to attack Yanmen, Gao Rou can ventilate the news as soon as possible, and by the way, attack and disturb on the flank.

After arranging Gao Rou, Gao Gan retreated to Pingcheng. Pingcheng has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times. In the pre-Qin period here, Lin Hu and other Beidi tribes multiplied here, and it was the land of the country at the beginning, and then it was encroached upon by the Zhao state. After Qin Shi Huang swept the world, he abolished the division of feuds and established counties and counties, and Pingcheng belonged to Yanmen. Meng Tian, the general of the Qin Dynasty, once built the Great Wall here and attacked the Xiongnu in the north. Liu Bang, the founding emperor of the Han Empire, was besieged by the Xiongnu for seven days and seven nights at Baishan Mountain in the northeast of Pingcheng. It can be said that if you want to guard the Yanmen, you must guard the Pingcheng. If Heicheng falls, and further down, there is basically no danger to defend.

At the foot of Baishan Mountain outside Pingcheng, there is a small town of Baiden. On Baishan Mountain, there is also a long-abandoned military village. After the Xiongnu ceased to be troubled, Pingcheng did not encounter a large-scale war for a long time. Gao Gan arrived in Pingcheng, so that people cleaned up and down Baishan Mountain, and resent the army to Baishan Mountain. The army is inside and outside, echoing each other, waiting for Huang Zhong and Yan Rou.

When Huang Zhong and Gao Gan were fighting, Zhang Fei finally connected with Lu Bu. After years of experience and polishing under Liu Bei, Zhang Fei is no longer the irascible and irritable, brave and resourceful general in history. So the moment he saw his former enemy Lu Bu, he didn't show indifference. It was Lu Bu, whose expression was a little embarrassed. Back then, each was his master, shouting and shouting and killing. Now that he can't get along, he has to go to Liu Bei, and the person in front of him has led the army to conquer the south and the north all these years. This life situation is really amazing.

Lu Bu, Zhang Xiu and others came out to greet Zhang Fei together, and their posture was very low, as a military general, it is not shameful to cling to the strong in this troubled era. Although they all have the title of the Son of Heaven on their bodies, they know very well in their hearts that when they arrive in Qingzhou, they have to listen to whom.

Whose food is eaten, and who is given his life. In this regard, the warriors are much more straightforward than the literati. Unlike many literati, they pick up a bowl to eat, put down their chopsticks and scold their mother.

Zhang Fei saw Lu Bu and others coming out to greet him, and hurriedly turned over and dismounted. He was like a mirror in his heart, these people were welcoming him on the surface, but they were actually Liu Bei, the lord of Qingzhou. None of these people have qualifications below them. Lu Bu, a military general who has been famous all over the world for more than ten years, Wen Hou, General Fenwu, and Fake Jieyi Tongsan; Zhang Xiu, Xuanwei Hou, General Jianzhong; Duan Xuan, Marquis of Yanxiang, General Annan; Yang Feng, General Xingyi, Marquis of Duting; Dong Cheng, General Wei, Marquis of Suyi...... They are all important ministers who can enter and exit the court, and they can't lose their manners.

While greeting these people, Zhang Fei was thinking in his heart that he was just a general under the command of the lord, why did so many people come out. He didn't know that the scout originally came to report that when the Qingzhou army arrived, only Lu Bu came out. As a result, as soon as Lu Bu came out, Zhang Xiu also came out, and as soon as Zhang Xiu came out, then Duan Xuan, then Yang Feng, and then Dong Cheng.

Lu Bu and Zhang Xiu didn't have any ideas, and people from Qingzhou came to express their bows and came out to greet them. Duan Xuan purely watched Zhang Xiu, a fellow countryman, go out, and felt that he had to go with Zhang Xiu. As a result, Yang Feng looked at it, this is not good, we are the representatives of the Baibo Army, and we can't leave me behind. What did Dong Chengyi hear? The representatives of Bingzhou, Liangzhou, and Baibo Army all went out, and how could they do it without me, the representative of the Yulin Army who was in charge of the Son of Heaven's guard, so they also came out.

After chatting for a while, when he was approaching the camp, Zhang Fei looked at a few people, and instantly understood in his heart that this was a miscellaneous army, and a few people here were the leaders of this miscellaneous army. The imperial court once fought to the death with the White Wave Army; Lü Bu first returned to Ding Yuan, then to Dong Zhuo, and finally to the imperial court, and fought with Zhang Xiu's uncle Zhang Ji in Chang'an; Duan Xuan first belonged to Dong Zhuo, and then to the imperial court; Dong Cheng is the nephew of the Empress Dowager Dong, the father of Dong Guiren, and a typical relative with soldiers. Qingzhou, which he represents, has fought against Liangzhou and Lu Bu. Now it's mixed up, and this relationship is really messy.

After entering the camp, Zhang Fei and his followers went in to meet the Son of Heaven. When the Son of Heaven heard that Liu Bei's generals were coming, he spoke kindly, and after setting up a banquet to treat each other, he gave rewards again and again. It's a pity that today's Son of Heaven really doesn't seem to be the co-master of the world, he is really shy in his pocket, and he can't come up with anything good. Zhang Fei can also understand the attitude of the Son of Heaven, after all, do you have to rely on yourself along the way.

After converging with the Son of Heaven in the upper reaches of Zhangshui, Zhang Fei opened the road in front, and Lu Bu and Zhang Xiu and others escorted them behind, all the way to Qingzhou. If there is no accident, they will arrive in Qingzhou smoothly.
