Back to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Chapter 469 Perfect Victory!

Yang Wu glanced at Cai Wenji, then at Feng Yao, nodded, and asked again: "My lord, are you eating out or are you bringing the food here?"

"Send it here, some brothers here are seriously injured and unable to move, and Zhao Yun and Xia Houbo are also called to meet Cai Gong's daughter!" Feng Yao glanced at those who were lying or sitting in the tent. Injured to follow.

Yang Wu obeyed his orders and withdrew from the big tent, and soon Zhao Yun and Xia Houbo came one by one and brought delicious meals.

Xu Ding also came back later, and all the imprisoned women have been released. According to preliminary statistics, there are more than [-] women, most of them are young girls who have just grown up, and there are also some young women and a small number of girls.

……

After eating, Feng Yao deliberately vacated a tent that was tightly packed, allowing Cai Wenji and several other women who were also robbed to live in temporarily.

While Feng Yao and Zhao Yun were discussing the ongoing war in their tents, they were waiting for information from the battlefield from time to time.

By midnight, news came back one after another.

Guan Yu and Chen Yu's army was defeated by Xu Xuan and Dai Ling and fled, losing [-] soldiers. At the same time, about [-] soldiers were captured and surrendered.

Then Dai Ling led the Xiongwei to guard the camp, and Xu Xuan led the Huwei to chase them all the way.

Liu Qubei just intercepted Guan Yu's defeated army, and flanked Xu Chu, who was chasing after him, beheading more than [-] people. Dare not go back to Jiguan by the same route, but fled in the direction of Hanoi County by detour.

After Xu Chu and Liu went to Beibei to chase for several miles, they were worried that Yehei Mountain Road was complicated and they were afraid of falling, so they led their army to turn north and joined forces with Lu Bu to attack Jiguan.

These news made Feng Yao overjoyed, and he was excited and sleepless all night.

till midnight

The news that made Feng Yao even more excited came from the scouts: Lu Bu, Gao Shun, Liu Qubei, Xu Yu, Sui Gu, and Dong Zhao all attacked Jiguan together. Xiaolu escaped from Jiguan and fled to Hanoi County. Only some old, weak and wounded soldiers were left guarding the pass. Under the fierce attack of the army, they resisted for a while and then surrendered!
There was also a piece of news that was beyond Feng Yao's expectations: the chief general of the Black Mountain Army, Sui Gu, did not listen to the advice of the deputy general Dong Zhao, and insisted on leading a part of the Black Mountain Army, a total of 5000 people, to pursue Liu Bei in the direction of Hanoi.

Feng Yao asked the generals: "Suigu is a member of the Black Mountain Army and our ally, and as long as we ask to surrender, we will definitely come and lead the army to surrender, but now Suigu has led the army to go deep into Hanoi County to hunt down Liu Bei. I am worried about this. 5000 people will never return! Should we send troops to rescue them now or not?"

Although they didn't sleep all night, Yang Wu, Zhao Yun, Xia Houbo, and Xu Ding were all excited by the news of victory and their eyes glowed.

Yang Wudao: "My lord, Hanoi is Liu Bei's sphere of influence. If our army goes deep, we may be trapped in Hanoi. At the same time, it may force Liu Bei and Cao Cao to truly unite. This is not good for our subsequent layout!"

Zhao Yun said: "My lord, I am well aware of the habits of the Black Mountain Army. If it is beneficial, the Black Mountain Army will cooperate, and if there is no advantage, it will rebel! With our current momentum, Suigu will definitely be willing to vote! But in the future, at critical times, it may be for our army. Lay hidden dangers! It’s better to wait and see the result. If Suigu is killed, we can use Dong Zhao’s appeal to gather the defeated army and truly become a force for us. My lord, you can use Dong Zhao again as a general, make him the chief general of the Black Mountain Army, be on top of Suigu, and take away Suigu's military power!"

Xiahou Bo said: "My lord, I agree with Zilong very much. Suigu insists on chasing Liu Bei. In my opinion, his intention is not to kill Liu Bei to avenge the old master, but to kill Liu Bei to win the seal and ribbon of Hanoi prefect and replace Liu Bei. Status in Hanoi!"

When Xia Houbo said this, everyone was shocked, but when they thought about it, it was indeed the case. If it weren't for Sui Gu's experience in leading the army for many years, how could he have made such a big mistake?This is obviously because seeing Liu Bei's defeat and taking advantage of the opportunity, he is willing to take this big risk!

Feng Yao nodded again and again, patted Xia Houbo's back shoulder with a smile, and praised: "Zihu, your throwing knife is sharp, and you can't imagine that your eyes are so sharp!"

"My lord, I'm sorry. The throwing knife wants to hit the enemy. What it needs is the ability to see through the enemy's weaknesses and flaws. It has something in common with people's nature!" Xia Houbo smiled flattered.

Feng Yao nodded, and asked Xu Ding with a smile: "Now that the military adviser is not here, I will put forward my own suggestions and discuss together to make mistakes. This time, you can't be lazy and keep your mouth shut!"

"Hehe!" Xu Ding touched the back of the chubby neck and laughed, "Well... what should I say?...My lord, let's not worry about whether it's solid or not. All I know is that the army has not closed their eyes for almost a day and a night, and they urgently need to rest, so let’s talk about everything tomorrow!”

After finishing speaking, Xu Ding looked at Feng Yao worriedly, and was mentally prepared to be trained.

Seeing Xu Ding's appearance, Yang Wu and Zhao Yun laughed out loud, and even Xia Houbo, who was usually indifferent, also smiled.

Feng Yao was also full of smiles, patted Xu Ding on the back, and said loudly: "I have decided, according to Xu Ding's plan, the whole army will rest for a day, but before that, we must move to Dongyuan City."

"Follow orders!!" The four generals Yang Wu and Zhao Yun responded excitedly.

The other attendants in the tent also showed joy in their eyes.

Dongyuan City was originally controlled by Liu Bao, but there were only a small number of soldiers and horses stationed in the city.

After Feng Yao's army arrived, he immediately opened the door to surrender. Feng Yao originally planned to kill the Southern Huns guarding the city, but considering that he opened the door and surrendered on his own initiative, and Liu Qubei will attack the Northern Huns in the future, these people will die sooner or later. On the battlefield, let them live for a while.

However, for the sake of safety, Feng Yao did not keep them in the city, but ordered them to camp in Liu Bao camp in the north of the city, waiting for Liu Qubei to come back.

Previously, the thousands of horses captured by Liu Bao and Zhang Fei, as well as the surrendered Southern Huns cavalry, Hanoi cavalry, and Montenegro cavalry were all brought to Dongyuan City. More than [-] women, as well as food and grass, a large amount of gold and silver All of them were taken to Dongyuan City with the army.

As Feng Yao's army composed of various people and horses entered Dongyuan City, this almost deserted empty city became active again in a day.

In the original Dongyuan City, almost all the people who could escape had escaped, and the rest were only a very small number who were not killed, and they were used as coolies to clean up the corpses in the city.

Feng Yao led his followers into the county mansion, posted a notice, and sent his men to take turns to rest. He was responsible for the safety of the county mansion and the city defense at the same time.

However, the current base of surrender troops is too large. Feng Yao's followers were damaged in battle. In this battle, more than half of the more than one hundred followers originally under the command of Xia Houbo were killed or injured. , the rest were surrendered soldiers. Although they all swore allegiance to Feng Yao, Feng Yao was still not very relieved.
