Chapter 783 The War Is Over

The situation in Dongshuping was immediately told to Huang Xu and his team by the scout camp in front. The two of them thought that there should still be a chance to capture the county town, so they selected two hundred elite soldiers from the army, filled dozens of carts with valuables, and disguised themselves as a caravan to Dongshuping.

At this time, it was still more than an hour before it was dark. Half an hour after the convoy set off, a large group of soldiers and horses slowly sneaked behind them, and a large number of scouts were scattered around the county town within a dozen miles around most of the soldiers and horses. Any personnel heading towards the county town were killed to prevent the news from leaking out.

When the convoy arrived at the south of Dongshuping County, it was almost dark. Seeing that the city gate was about to close, the soldiers guarding the city urged the convoy to enter the city quickly.

When the convoy arrived at the city gate, the two hundred soldiers suddenly broke out and quickly seized the city gate, and then blocked all the vehicles in the city gate to prevent the city gate from closing. At this time, most of the cavalry had already reached a few miles south of the county town. After hearing the horn at the city gate, the army rushed over quickly and finally entered the city before the defenders reacted.

Being able to seize a county town was a pleasant surprise for the two.

However, the two did not stay in the city for long. After searching the city, they only rested in the city for one night, and then quickly led the army to rush all the way to Yuyang County.

It was a day later when Jiang Qi received the news.

Jiang Qi, who received the news, could no longer care about other things. He hurriedly led the army to the north, taking over Dongping Shucheng while sending people to report to Nanpi and Weijun.

When Yuan Shao's army returned, Lu Bu's army in Bingzhou had already retreated to Jinyang. It was ridiculous that Lu Bu mobilized tens of thousands of troops and decided to attack Hedong in the south. He was originally to prove himself to Chen Gong and Zhang Liao, but who knew that he was met with a nose of smack.

First, they successively captured several empty cities such as Yong'an and Yangxian, hoping that the army could obtain food and grass supplies in Hedong, but who knew that in the end they could only send people to transport food and grass from Taiyuan.

Next, the troops were divided into two groups to attack Linfen and Jiangyi respectively, but after nearly ten days of attack, they suffered heavy casualties and failed to capture the two cities. Finally, in desperation, Lu Bu had to order the infantry to surround the two cities, and he led the cavalry to show off his power in Hedong, and then led the troops back to Bingzhou in disgrace.

Of course, Huangfu Chaobo still gave Lu Bu a lot of steps in the matter of retreating. Zhang Chao sent people to Lu Bu's army to re-establish the alliance between the two families, and then promised that as long as Lu Bu withdrew from Hedong, Sizhou would give Bingzhou a certain amount of food and grass weapons.

Lu Bu was not stupid. At this time, Zhang Liao sent someone to report that the banditry in Yanmen had been almost eliminated, and the army had already entered Gang County to rest, and only when the time was right could they send troops to Dai County. So Lu Bu immediately borrowed a donkey to go downhill, and soon agreed to Zhang Chao's proposal. After resting in Yong'an for two days, the army led the army back to Bingzhou.

Zhang Su in Nanyang simply stopped moving forward after conquering Duyang. The reason for this is that Duyang's location is too good. It is more than a hundred miles away from Wancheng, and the cavalry can reach the city in one day. Controlling Duyang will block the way for the Yuzhou army to advance westward.

After retreating to Ye County, Zongheng Tianxia left Huan Jie and He Yi to guard Ye County, and he led Chen Dao, led two thousand white-consuming soldiers and five thousand combat soldiers, and hurried to Runan to assist Xu Jing in defending Yuan Shu's army.

After nearly a month of hard fighting, the Yuzhou army finally blocked Yuan Shu's army in Yingyang, Gushi and south of Song State, and Runan was eventually divided into two. Yuan Shu's strength increased greatly because of the newly acquired Xiapi and Guangling counties, plus more than a dozen cities in Runan. However, there were too many newly acquired cities, so Yuan Shu could not care about continuing to attack Yuzhou in the north, but honestly consolidated the newly acquired territory.

The war in Yuzhou had stopped two days before Cao Cao's army withdrew from Puyang, and Zongheng Tianxia was finally praised by Kong Zhu for assisting Xu Jing in defending Yuan Shu's army.

In the end, Kong Zhu handed over the two counties of Kunyang and Fucheng to Zongheng Tianxia for management, plus the original three cities of Ye County, Kunyang and Xun County,

a total of five counties, which were separately designated as a county by Kong Zhu, called Yingxi County, and Zongheng Tianxia was appointed as the governor. At this point, the fifth player prince finally appeared.

As for the two protagonists of this year's war, they are currently staying at home licking their wounds.

Let's talk about Cao Cao first. He deliberately pulled people together to give Huangfu Chaobo a fatal blow. In the end, apart from losing tens of thousands of troops, he seemed to have no other gains.

On the contrary, the two brothers of the Yuan family, who he could not afford the most, made a lot of money. Every time Yuan Shao attacked Huangfu Chaobo at his request, he would capture a dozen cities. This time was no exception. Although he did not take all of Jizhou, he did suppress Huangfu Chaobo's forces in a dozen cities in the southwest corner of Jizhou.

Yuan Shu gained even more, easily taking two counties in Xuzhou and nearly 20 cities in Yuzhou, becoming the biggest beneficiary of this battle.

Xuzhou Mu Tao Qian died directly when Yuan Shu captured Xiapi. The two sons of the Tao family also fell into the chaos with him. Cao Bao saw the opportunity quickly and fled to Guangling under the escort of thousands of elite soldiers. Then, together with Guangling Prefect Zhao Yu, he led less than 2,000 soldiers and fled directly to Langya County, and surrendered to Guangwu General Ye Laixiang.

As for the military officers under Tao Qian, they scattered like birds and beasts, each choosing a new master.

For Huangfu Chaobo, the biggest gain was Han Fu's surrender, which allowed him to gain the surrender of Ju Shou, Zhang He and other civil and military officials, as well as the capture of more than a dozen cities and tens of thousands of troops in Weijun, as well as nearly one million people and a large amount of money and food from various cities in Weijun.

It can be said that after the war, Cao Cao looked around and found that he had lost a handful of rice instead of stealing a chicken, as if everyone except himself had made a profit. Of course, there were a few guys who were more miserable than him. Han Fu went directly to Luoyang to be his old Taishan, Kong Rong lost half of Runan, and Tao Qian simply lost his life.

Judging from the situation of several of them, it seems that Huangfu Chaobo's allies did not have a good end.

On November 10, Huangfu Chaobo finally led the army of the personal guard camp back to Luoyang. A battle lasted from September to November, and finally there was a result. For Huangfu Chaobo, although it was laborious, the final result was more beneficial than harmful.

And generally speaking, Huangfu Chaobo's gains over the past year are not small. The most important point is that Huangfu Chaobo finally got the support of everyone in Jizhou, and Xu Rong and his tens of thousands of troops and families have been successfully transferred out, and Qingzhou finally has two counties in his hands.
