Yan Liang died in battle.

More than 100,000 troops were unarmed.

And Zhang Yu and their side only paid the price of Huang Zhong's injury.

Xi Zhicai saw that Huang Zhong's injury was not very serious, but he needed time to recuperate.

However, Xi Zhicai also felt a little guilty, if Zhang Yu was here, he would definitely not let his subordinates take risks, of course, Zhang Yu himself would not take risks.

Xi Zhicai said to Huang Zhong again: "Brother Han Sheng, today's matter, now that I think about it, I feel a little sorry for you, brother, in case you have something, if you go to the main bus." ”

Huang Zhong waved his hand and said: "Haha, even if my body is confessed on the battlefield, I am loyal to the Lord and died for the people of Liaodong, no wonder the military advisor, I am not good, I just suffered a small injury." ”

Xi Zhicai's heart was a little better, and then he said to Huang Zhong: "Brother Hansheng, it's not that I'm so happy, if this battle starts, we can naturally win, in peacetime, you don't need to take risks, brother, it's just that hundreds of thousands of Huns are still there, and there is a little bit of strength left at this time, although Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses were annihilated, but the threat of the Huns is still there, and the pressure is still huge. ”

Huang Zhong nodded, let him take a risk, it was impossible to have no mustard in his heart, but after some explanation, he felt that he had to take a risk.

understands that the drama is for the sake of the overall situation, and Huang Zhong is also very impressed.

Even if he was able to defeat Yan Liang's hundreds of thousands of troops in this battle, it was inevitable that he would lose 350,000 in the end.

Today's tens of thousands of troops are the key to changing the tide of the war.

"Strategist, what's next?" Huang Zhong asked.

Xi Zhicai said: "Yuan Shao's army is wiped out, and the next step is naturally to deal with the Xiongnu army and drive the Xiongnu army out." ”

Huang Zhong's eyes were a little gloomy, he was injured, and he definitely couldn't go to the battlefield.

In the face of a great enemy, as a general, it is a sad thing not to be able to go to the battlefield.

Xi Zhicai knew what he was thinking when he saw Huang Zhong's eyes.

Xi Zhicai handed Huang Zhong a glass of water, then sat opposite him and said: "If my expectations are right, at this time, the lord will definitely rush back in person to deal with the Huns, and Jixian is very important, it is the key to blocking Yuan Shao's counterattack, only by holding Jixian, the whole battle situation will not collapse, although Brother Hansheng can't go to the battlefield, but it's no problem to defend the city." ”

Huang Zhong's eyes had a few more essences, what he was most afraid of was that he was useless, he couldn't go to the battlefield, and it was always no problem to defend the city.

"Okay, I listen to the military advisor, and it's good to recuperate in Jixian County."

Huang Zhong's whole person was much more relaxed.

Xi Zhicai made the decision, let Zhao Yun temporarily command the heavy cavalry and light cavalry, and then rushed to Liaodong to stand by, and then the next thing was to fight with the Xiongnu.

And Xi Zhicai stayed behind to deal with these captives.

Xi Zhicai did not abuse them, and guarded them separately in several cities.

The soldiers were confiscated of their weapons, and the officers were kept in separate custody, so they could not make any big noise.

Zhang Yu put 50,000 troops in Jixian County, there is a strong city, he is not afraid of Yuan Shao's attack, but he also has to guard, if this place is breached, it will be very passive, and all the results may disappear.

At this time, he received the news of a great victory at the front and was very happy.

This proves that all his adventures are blocked, and this battle is a big victory, and the benefits behind it are naturally needless to say.

Zhang Yu was very excited, and immediately arranged all the defense of Jixian County, and then took a few guards and Dian Wei to meet Huang Zhong.

However, Zhang Yu couldn't go to the front line so quickly, he had to wait until Xi Zhi rushed to Jixian County to take over the defense of Jixian County.

Zhang Yu arranged 40,000 cavalry of his personal guards in Jixian County, and he had to bring cavalry to fight with the Xiongnu.

When Xi Zhicai's tens of thousands of soldiers and horses arrived in Jixian County, he could go to the front line with confidence.

Xi Zhicai also understood this truth, and asked Huang Zhong to rush to Jixian County with 30,000 soldiers and horses.

A day after Zhang Yu came out, he met Huang Zhong on the way.

"Hansheng, you have worked hard in this battle, take good care of your injuries, and at the same time guard Jixian County." Zhang Yu said to Huang Zhong.

Huang Zhong smiled on his face, it didn't matter if he was injured, the key was that he couldn't lose his value.

Although Huang Zhong regretted that he could not participate in the war with the Xiongnu, he could also help Zhang Yu a lot if he could defend Jixian County.

After meeting Huang Zhong, Zhang Yu continued to move forward, and met Xi Zhicai again a day later.

At this time, Xi Zhicai was still dealing with post-war affairs, and he had already dealt with it almost.

"Zhicai, although the war with Yuan Shao is over, the impact in the later period will be greater. After you deal with it, you will immediately rush to Jixian County, run Jixian County well, and use it as a base to attack the south. Zhang Yu said.

Winning this battle, Zhang Yu laid the foundation for the unification of Youzhou.

After unifying Youzhou, he formed a strong suppression of Yuan Shao in the south.

There are many benefits when the time comes.

Therefore, Zhang Yu should prepare in advance.

He believed that after this battle, the Xiongnu would not dare to provoke him for a long time, the north would be stable, and then Zhang Yu would lead a large army to form a strong suppression of the south.

Now it is a race against time, Yuan Shao is definitely not willing to fail like this, and will definitely recruit soldiers and horses as soon as possible to restore his strength.

But building a new army of hundreds of thousands is not something that can be done in a month or two.

Zhang Yu asked about other things.

"Well, take Yan Liang properly and send the horse back to Jizhou, although he is an enemy, his last practice is also worthy of respect."

Xi Zhicai collected Yan Liang's body, and then asked Zhang Yu how to deal with it, and Zhang Yu asked them to send it back to Jizhou immediately.

After Zhang Yu asked about various situations, Zhang Yu deliberately pointed out the matter of letting Huang Zhong and Yan Liang go head-to-head.

Zhang Yu did not say yes, nor did he criticize Xi Zhicai.

Only then did Xi Zhi know that Zhang Yu did not agree to let Huang Zhong fight, but Xi Zhi considered the overall situation and did the right thing, so Zhang Yu did not reward or punish.

Zhang Yu is showing his attitude.

After dealing with these things, Zhang Yu said again: "Han Sheng is right, why should these captives stay and work, or let Yuan Shao redeem them, and you immediately send a letter to Yuan Shao." ”

Xi Zhicai smiled and said, "Lord, you are trying to pit Yuan Shao again." This is more than 100,000 soldiers, and Yuan Shao is not easy to deal with. ”

Hundreds of thousands of troops, these are the surrendered troops who have surrendered to the enemy, and they are not needed to redeem them in the end.

Without them, will they be harmed and affect Yuan Shao's authority, and even if they are not used, will they still have to pay a resettlement fee.

If you don't redeem it, you can't do it, and hundreds of thousands of families can't rebel.

Therefore, Xi Zhicai said that this was a pit for Yuan Shao.

Zhang Yu dealt with the matter here and galloped to Liaodong, and many things had to be solved by the Xiongnu first.
