Three thousand bandits shouted loudly, and more than eight thousand Jin troops surrendered to bandits with a number of far fewer than themselves.

Wu Jie and Ling Tong swept the battlefield, killed two thousand and captured eight thousand, and the remaining ten thousand Jin troops were dispersed and fled back to Sima Yue's territory.

"Let Sima Yue escape."

"The captive of eight thousand Jin troops, plus the troops we brought, had a large army of ten thousand. Sima Yue was defeated and panic could engulf his territory. Our goal has been achieved."

Wu Jie was not interested in capturing Sima Yue alive. What he wanted was Sima Yue's troops and territory to gain a foothold.

Zhang Hua cannot attack the heroes of Taihang Mountain like Liu Xiu, otherwise the heroes of Taihang Mountain will join forces to resist the powerful enemy.

Therefore, Wu Jie spent a lot of effort to pretend to be a bandit and erode Sima Yue's territory.

In the eyes of other lords of Taihang Mountain, Sima Yue was incompetent and was defeated by a group of bandits. The bandits occupied the magpie's nest and did not pose any threat to him.

And this is exactly the cleverness of Zhou Yu and Lu Su's plan.

Wu Jie summoned the surrendered Jin Dynasty soldiers: "From now on, you will be my subordinates. Follow me to enjoy the delicious food and drink spicy food!"

Ling Tong raised an 800-pound huge stone and showed off his military power to the soldiers of the Jin Dynasty: "In the future, all those who violate the orders of the master will be like this!"

boom!

Ling Tong threw the huge rock out, and the stones rolled down from the mountain, smashing many trees.

Many soldiers of the Jin Dynasty were shocked when they saw this.

No one on the field can fight!

These Jin soldiers looked at each other, showing helpless expressions.

The bandits have always been recruited by the government, but as a result, their regular army from the Western Jin Dynasty was incorporated and forced to become bandits. What's going on?

But they have no choice.

"Get out of the mountains and conquer the city and the land!"

Wu Jie incorporated some Jin troops and took advantage of Sima Yue's defeat to quickly attack Sima Yue's city.

When the guards of various towns and villages in Sima Yue's territory learned that Sima Yue had been defeated by the bandits, most of them surrendered. For a time, Wu Jie occupied three towns and thirty-six villages.

Sima Yue was left with only Gaodu City and villages and towns near Gaodu City.

Sima Yue fled back to Gaodu City and was in a mess.

He was a royal family of the Jin Dynasty and one of the eight kings. He took 20,000 Jin troops to suppress the bandits, but was beaten up by the bandits, losing their troops and losing their generals. The prestige he had finally accumulated was wiped out, and the villages and towns in the territory were all attached to the bandits, and the situation was critical.

"Immediately urge Gou Xi, Li Yun to lead his troops day and night to return to Gaodu!"

Sima Yue's face turned pale.

But he didn't have a chance to turn the tables.

Gou Xi and Li Yun, two military generals, led 40,000 Jin troops to join forces with the heroes of Taihang Mountains and resisted the Han army of Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu in Changshan.

The heroes of Taihang Mountain fought against the Eastern Han army, and Gou Xi and Li Yun's Jin army were killed in battle.

The remaining 30,000 Jin troops were the main force of Sima Yue's power, and Gou Xi and Li Yun, two Western Jin generals, were also ruthless.

"As long as Gou Xi and Li Yun bring his troops back and suppress a group of bandits, it will be easy."

"A letter to all villages and towns, whoever defects to the bandits will undoubtedly die afterwards!"

"Preserve the gates of Gaodu City, no one is allowed to enter and exit at will!"

Sima Yue turned the tide and stabilized the situation.

He just lost half of his territory, and there was still a new force that had not returned, not that he had no hope at all.

Hundreds of miles away, 30,000 Jin troops returned to the army, and the commander Gou Xi took a nap.

The 30,000 Jin troops were also a little depressed and fought with the Eastern Han army. The 40,000 Jin troops went to war, but only 30,000 people came back.

However, these Jin troops are full of murderous aura and have been through battle for a long time. They are a world of difference from the temporary recruitment of local brave men. They are not the existence of bandits who can come to catch up with the car.

"The Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu is worthy of being the true dragon emperor, and he uses his troops like a god. The 18-way princes of Taihang Mountain have hundreds of thousands of troops, but they cannot defeat Liu Xiu, so they can only ask for peace with Liu Xiu."

After Gou Xi was in the eighteen princes of Taihang Mountain, he led his troops back.

Gou Xi can still be the first general in Sima Yue's power, but if he reaches Liu Xiu, he may not be as good as Geng Yan, who is twenty-eight in Yuntai.

A cavalry of Jin Dynasty came from Gaodu City. When he saw Gou Xi, he said to Gou Xi: "The lord was defeated by a group of bandits and lost half of his country. He urgently summoned two generals and immediately went day and night to return to Gaodu City."

"Bandits? There are still 20,000 troops in Gaodu City, but can there be 100,000 or 80,000?"

"No, there are only a few thousand bandits..."

"The lord was defeated by thousands of bandits?"

Gou Xi and Li Yun, two Western Jin generals, looked at each other.

Although Sima Yue, the King of East China Sea, was an incomparable military general, he was one of the eight kings who were powerful in the late Western Jin Dynasty. His wisdom could make up for the shortcomings of the commander, so that the 20,000 regular troops of the Western Jin Dynasty were defeated by thousands of bandits and lost half of their territory.

"The other princes cannot know about this matter, otherwise they will definitely think we are easy to bully."

Gou Xi was ashamed of Sima Yue.

Thousands of bandits can defeat Sima Yue, so why would other princes who were separatist in the Taihang Mountains send troops to attack?

The peace talks between the Eighteen Princes of Taihang Mountain and Liu Xiu in Hebei did not mean peace in the world, because the princes of various Bosses had many internal conflicts and annexed each other.

The reason why these princes joined forces was because they were afraid that Liu Xiu would push the eighteen princes of Taihang Mountain in one fell swoop. After all, if the princes disperse, they would not be able to become a climate.

"Go back to the army immediately and eliminate this group of bandits. You can't let other princes laugh at it. Li Yun, what do you think?"

Gou Xi looked at another Western Jin general Li Yun.

Even Gou Xi wants to give Li Yun some face.

Li Yun's command ability is not high, but his troops should not be underestimated.

Because Li Yun, like Chen Wu and Tian Su, were both the commander-in-chief of the late Western Jin Dynasty, and his subordinates were also the commander-in-chief of the Qihuo Army.

It is precisely because of his command of the Qihua Army that Li Yun's position in Sima Yue's power is second only to Gou Xi.

Li Yun nodded: "We two, go and meet that group of bandits for a while. I don't believe it anymore. We are at least a temporary figure and cannot settle thousands of bandits."

Gou Xi and Li Yun led 30,000 Jin troops and rushed south to meet with Sima Yue.
