Chapter 338: Is it a war or surrender?

At night, a crescent moon hangs in the sky, emitting endless cold silver light, and the starlight flashes with uncertainty.

Although the war in Hefei City was extremely tragic, fortunately it did not happen in the city and Hefei City was not damaged at all. Apart from the dry air, there was no strangeness, and the night seemed even more quiet.

For safety and to prevent the army from disturbing the people, only Huangfu Jian's 3,800 personal guards cavalry were stationed in Hefei City. Ganning's 5,000 Jinfan Army, Yan Xing's 5,000 Balixiong Camp Iron Cavalry, and the remaining 1,000 remaining soldiers from Fengxiang Camp were stationed outside Hefei City after cleaning up the battlefield. All surrendered troops of the Yuzhou Army were stationed in the camp outside the city after a little rectification.

When the iron cavalry of Zhenxi Army had just entered the city, the people in the city were still a little nervous, and they were all timid and dared not go out. Especially those large households in the city, the gentry were even more afraid. They were often the first choice for the army to loot. However, after seeing the iron cavalry of Zhenxi Army was orderly and did not violate the people, this uneasiness gradually disappeared.

The Zhenxi Army has always been very good at the people's hearts. Although the people in Hefei were still a little afraid, they quickly accepted this fact. After all, the Yuzhou Army has not taken over Hefei for a long time, and its foundation in Hefei is not deep, and there is no mass base. In the troubled times, the change of the king's flag on the city wall often occurs, which has become a common phenomenon, which is not surprising.

The Hefei City Lord's Mansion, Yuan Shu, the governor of Yuzhou, lived here a few days ago, and has now become Huangfu Jian's temporary camp. Lu Bu personally led 800 guards and cavalry to garrison them. Not to mention an assassin, even a cat and a dog could not escape his eyes.

In the study of the city lord's mansion, Yuan Shu adopted Lu Su's suggestion here a few days ago and defeated the Huangxu tribe of Zhenxi Army. Until his death, Huangxu tribe was trapped in a heavy siege and suffered heavy casualties. If Huangfu Jian had not arrived in time, this Northern Expedition army would have probably been destroyed.

It was late at night and the study was still brightly lit. Huangfu Jian was summoning his important officials here to discuss military and national affairs.

Huangfu Jian ranked first, with Zhong Yao, Huang Xu, Xu Shu, Tai Shi Ci, Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin and others in the hall. Even Ji Ling and Lu Su who had just surrendered were among them. They were really full of talents.

"Everyone, I just received the military newspaper from General Ma Teng from Shouchun City. Shouchun City has been captured by our army." Huangfu Jian looked at the people in the hall, a hint of joy appeared on his face, and he said slowly.

For Huangfu Jian, Shouchun City, a major city located in Huainan, is much more important than Hefei City in terms of geographical location and strategic location. It is the frontier position for him to enter the Central Plains north, and it is also the main goal of his order to lead the troops to the north. In Huangfu Jian's mind, Yuan Shu is not a big enemy. His real opponent is Cao Cao and Yuan Shao. These two are the two largest playing stones on his way to unification.

"Congratulations to the Lord!" After hearing this, all the ministers in the room were very happy and hurriedly stepped forward to congratulate.

Only Ji Ling and Lu Su also expressed their congratulations, but they felt a strange feeling in their hearts.

"At this point, our army's military operation has come to an end. Although this war has achieved brilliant results, our army has suffered serious damage and requires a long rest. In addition, I will decide to take this opportunity to form the Ninth Army." After accepting the congratulations from the ministers, Huangfu Jian said lightly.

The battle in Hefei lasted less than two months. Although it was not long, the battle situation was extremely fierce. The Zhenxi Army paid nearly 20,000 casualties, which was unprecedented in the history of the Zhenxi Army's combat. Although the price paid was heavy, the harvest was unexpectedly good. Not only did it defeat the two cities of Shouchun, it also took advantage of the opportunity to seize the entire territory of Yuzhou.

If Yuan Shao from Jizhou and Cao Cao from Yanzhou knew about this, they would not be so angry that they would curse her. They tried their best to capture Youzhou and Xuzhou, but Huangfu Jian made a lightning strike but achieved such amazing results. It is true that the Zhenxi Army created another miracle.

When the generals in the hall heard this, they wanted to form a new battalion of troops. They all stretched their necks, for fear that the lord would not see them.

"The newly formed Ninth Battalion is composed of Taishi Ci as the main general, Xu Shu as the military advisor, Ji Ling, Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin and the three of them are deputy generals, and a 50,000 yuan will be assigned to the organization. A group of backbones will be drawn from the other seven battalions to serve as grassroots generals of the Ninth Battalion, and then a 5,000 cavalry from Guanzhong will be drawn, and the rest of the soldiers will be recruited from the surrendered troops of the Yuzhou army." After seeing the expressions of the generals in the hall, Huangfu Jian said in a deep voice.

"Abide by the order!" The famous generals on the list all showed excitement, stood up together, and took the order loudly.

Even General Ji Ling showed excitement. He did not expect Huangfu Jian to really dare to use him. Not only did he let him persuade him to surrender the defenders of Hefei City without any defense, he also made him the deputy general of the first army. Ji Ling, the powerful army of Zhenxi Army, had seen it, and was more yearning for the New Ninth Camp in his heart.

Only Huang Xu's eyes showed a sense of loss. Although he could use less brains and just obey orders when he followed Huangfu Jian, he liked the feeling of galloping on the battlefield and leading the troops. Unfortunately, this time he led the troops alone not only to lose troops, but also almost made people make dumplings. Huang Xu regretted it very much. He thought it was Huangfu Jian because he was not capable of leading the troops, so he did not dare to use him.

"You are temporarily responsible for the government affairs of Yuanchang, Yuzhou and Yangzhou. Select officials who are in charge as soon as possible to restore people's livelihood as soon as possible and let people's lives get on track." Huangfu Jian glanced at Zhong Yao and said. Since these two states were newly occupied and the people's hearts were still unstable, Huangfu Jian decided that this senior official would temporarily guard the situation.

"No!" Zhong Yao received the order.

"Lu Su is temporarily the deputy of Yuan Chang, and he will cooperate with Yuan Chang to handle government affairs." Huangfu Jian said, looking at the silent Lu Su.

In Huangfu Jian's opinion, Lu Su's military talent is not as good as his political vision, so he has this arrangement.

"No!" Lu Su agreed and stepped forward to receive the order.

"Then Zhou Yu, he asked him to recruit another 20,000 soldiers in Jiangnan to supplement the 50,000 troops in Fengxiang Camp." Huangfu Jian thought for a while and said again.

In addition to some warlord forces in Jiangnan, the biggest hidden danger is the vast Shanyue people living in the deep mountains. Huangfu Jian planned to let Zhou Yu send troops to Shanyue after conquering the heroes of Jiangdong and take back the counties in Yue.

For a period of time, Huangfu Jian led the personal guard camp to live in Hefei City and observe the general trend of the world.

Huangfu Jian turned his hand into clouds and turned into rain. In an instant, he could destroy Yuan Shu, the governor of Yuzhou, shocked the world.

In early February, 192,

The news of Yuan Shu's death reached the southern county of Jingzhou. Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou, was in the ears of the rabbit and the fox was sad. He was already under the powerful offensive of the Zhenxi Army. Liu Biao, who was in a panic all day long, was even more frightened and hurriedly summoned his important officials, Cai Mao, Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue to discuss countermeasures.

"Everyone, I just received reliable news that Yuan Shu, the governor of Yuzhou, is dead, and the entire territory of Yuzhou has been occupied by the Zhenxi Army." As soon as the three of them sat down, Liu Biao said anxiously.

"What? Is this true?" Cai Mao, Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue were all shocked and asked in disbelief. This was too incredible? In just a few days, a powerful prince was destroyed by the Zhenxi Army.

"It's true! You should think of a solution for Gu quickly? Gu is afraid that the next one will be Gu!"

Liu Biao's originally clean and white face showed some withered yellow colors, and the wrinkles on his face also increased significantly, which were all the consequences of his long-term concern.

Since the Zhenxi Army troops left Jiangxia, Liu Biao has not slept soundly. He didn't know when disaster would come to him. As an authentic Han royal family, Liu Biao felt that he was burdened with heavy burden and could not watch the great Han Dynasty disappear like this. But in front of the powerful Zhenxi Army, he was really powerless!

Liu Biao had a premonition that, just recently, the Nanjun in his hands, the Wuling two counties were probably out of protection. Although he did not know why the Zhenxi Army had left the last two counties to attack, he knew that as soon as the Zhenxi Army arrived, he would have no power of resistance.

Is it a war or a surrender? I thought about it thousands of times in Liu Biao's mind. But every result made him unacceptable.

"Have you ever thought about it? Why did the Zhenxi Army leave Wuling after seizing Jingzhou Jiangxia and other places? But Nanjun did not take it?" Kuai Liang, the leader of Liu Biao, said slowly.

"I don't understand what the intention of Zhenxi Army?" Liu Biao answered helplessly. This question has been tormenting him for a long time, and he has had enough of this kind of life that is not alive and unaware.

"If my subordinates have a good guess, the Zhenxi Army will seize Jingzhou Jiangxia and other counties. On the one hand, it is to cover people's eyes and ears, and on the other hand, it is to open a road to Jiangdong. General Huangfu's purpose is to Jiangdong, and sending troops to Jiangdong is his ultimate goal. Whether we or Yuan Shu, we were all defeated by the Zhenxi Army and suffered. But now it is different. The Zhenxi Army has almost captured the entire Jiangdong territory and Yuzhou has also fallen. The Zhenxi Army can now be assured and boldly attacked Jingzhou." Kuai Liang has no intention of taking care of Liu Biao's feelings and said frankly.

"Yes! Now the Zhenxi Army has come to an end, and two-thirds of the land in the world have fallen into his hands, and there is no one in the world to stop it! The land of the two counties of Gu, the Zhenxi Army can still be taken down in a blink of an eye. How should Gu deal with it?" Liu said that he didn't want to know the reason, but only wanted to know how to save his life when the Zhenxi Army army was introduced.

"Now there are 50,000 troops of the Zhenxi Army Silver Fox Camp around Wuling, 50,000 troops of the Zhenxi Army Tiger Fox Camp around Nanjun, 50,000 troops of the Han River and the Yangtze River, with more than 60,000 troops and thousands of warships. This is really not to be fought against. In the opinion of his subordinates, we should surrender! Although Huangfu Jian, the general of the Zhenxi Army, is known as the God of Killing and killing countless people, he never treats the surrendered army unfairly." Kuai Liang finished speaking in one breath, and after he finished speaking, he quietly looked at Liu Biao's reaction.
