After Guo Jia and Xiahou Dun, who had escaped from the city, counted their troops, they found that they had lost nearly 3,000 men during their attack on Wancheng.
At present, the entire Cao army, including county soldiers, only numbered 100,000 people.
The loss of 3,000 people in this battle was a heavy loss.
When they entered Wancheng again, Wancheng was already an abandoned city with ruins everywhere.
If you want to station soldiers in the city, it will take a lot of effort.
First, you must clear a large open space, and then you can set up a military camp in the open space.
As a last resort, Guo Jia had no choice but to let Cao Jun continue to be stationed outside Wancheng.
Originally, Guo Jia planned to send his troops north to capture Wuguan immediately after taking Wancheng.
But seeing Lu Bu's army voluntarily abandoning Wancheng and setting fire to the city, he couldn't help but doubt Lu Bu's motives.
What if his main force goes to attack Wuguan and Lu Bu sends a large army from Zhugu to retake Wancheng?
Wouldn't it be like sealing his main force in Shang Yu Road?
Thinking of this, Guo Jia only sent an elite infantry force of more than 500 people north to Wuguan and made a tentative attack.
Not long after, these more than 500 people returned to Wancheng and reported to Guo Jia that at present, Lu Bu's army had thousands of elite troops stationed in Wuguan.
Guo Jia thought for a moment and concluded that he might have made a mistake before.
The fate of Lu Bu's army in Guanzhong's front line might not follow the Shang Yu Dao, at least not the entire Shang Yu Dao.
Otherwise, how could he not value Wancheng in Nanyang but value Wuguan so much?
Now, it is impossible for Xiahou Dun's troops to attack Wuguan.
First of all, the journey from Wancheng to Wuguan is more than a hundred miles of mountainous roads.
It is difficult to transport heavy baggage and siege equipment.
Secondly, Wancheng has been under the threat of Lu Bu's army in Zhugu.
If Xiahou Dun's troops go north to attack Wuguan, Lu Bu's army may take the retreat at any time.
"General Xiahou, you choose five thousand elite troops to stay and guard Wancheng.
I will bring the remaining troops back to Xudu.
Now that my lord is about to launch the final blow against Liu Bei and Yuan Shu, it is the time to use troops.
Otherwise, I will let you All troops should be left behind," Guo Jia ordered Xiahou Dun.
Guo Jia looked at Xiahou Dun and nodded silently, and then continued: "We did not get Wancheng easily, and it can be said that it changed hands several times.
Therefore, Jia sincerely asks the general to guard this city.
In the future, it will be our army's march southward and westward."
The fulcrum of advancement.”
Xiahou Dun quickly replied: "But please rest assured Guo Jijiu, I will definitely fulfill my mission and defend Wancheng."
The Guanzhong Allied Army Camp in the north of Chang'an City.
Liang Xing sat in the tent with a sad face, while Zhong Yao next to him was calm and composed.
The Guanzhong Allied Forces have been confronting Zhang Liao of Chang'an for almost a year.
During this year, the partial division that went to attack Lantian was defeated by the main force of Lu Bu and Huben who were aiding Chang'an from the east, and few of them were able to come back.
Yang Qiu, who had stopped his troops at Tongguan, retreated to the camp in despair to avoid the danger of being destroyed by attacks from both front and rear.
The passage to the west of Tongguan was naturally opened.
After Lu Bu strengthened his defense at Tongguan, Cao Cao saw that Xu Zhubu was still unable to capture Tongguan, so he had to recall him and transfer him to the southern front to attack Liu Bei and Yuan Shu.
Tongguan was temporarily put aside by Cao Cao.
"Zhong Sili, now that the main force of Lu Bu's headquarters has come from Longyou, Tongguan cannot be captured, and the troops that went to attack Lantian have also been defeated.
Do you think we can continue to waste time here?"
Zhong Yao smiled slightly: "Don't worry, Governor Liang.
I know how to defeat Lu Bu.
I'm waiting for a group of troops.
When they come, we will join forces and we will be able to attack Chang'an in one go and defeat all the troops in Guanzhong."
Lu Bujun."

Liang Xing asked doubtfully: "All the generals in Guanzhong have gathered here to form an alliance, how can there be new reinforcements?"
"This army is not from Yongzhou or Liangzhou in Guanzhong, but from Bingzhou.
It is the army of Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu of Jizhou.
Soon they will cross the Yellow River from Bingzhou to join our army."
Old God Zhong Yao preached.
"Yuan Shao's Bingzhou Army" Liang Xing blurted out in surprise.
Zhong Yao had already seen the doubts in his eyes, and immediately comforted him and said: "Don't worry, Yuan Benchu just doesn't want to see Lu Bu become powerful in Guanzhong, so he sends troops to suppress his power.
He will never leave a single soldier in Guanzhong."
In fact, Zhong Yao himself didn't believe this, but Zhong Yao was certain that if Yuan Shao really wanted to stay in Guanzhong, Cao Cao would not sit idly by.
The mantis stalks the cicada, but the oriole is behind.
Yuan Shao can only be the mantis.
When cranes and clams fight, the fisherman wins, but Yuan Shao can only be the crane.
"In this case, let's go home and wait for Yuan Shao's Bingzhou Army to come.
Why gather here and waste manpower?
Transporting grain, grass and baggage requires a lot of manpower in the rear.
In addition, the autumn harvest season is coming soon.
There are so many farms that require labor to harvest, how can we just rely on the old and weak soldiers in the rear to come here?"
Liang Xing said with some emotion.
"Prefect Liang, you must not do this.
Once the generals are separated, they will each have their own thoughts after they return, and it will be difficult to gather them together again."
Zhong Yao quickly advised.
Liang Xing stopped talking and remained indifferent.
Zhong Yao wanted to see Yuan Shao become a mantis or a crane, but Yuan Shao was waiting for the Guanzhong coalition to become a crane or a mantis.
Although he had promised Cheng Yu a long time ago, he had yet to send troops.
However, Yuan Shao was always paying attention to the situation in Guanzhong.
In the fields around Huangbaicheng, some soldiers in shabby clothes were harvesting ripe wheat.
God was kind this year, and there were some timely rains.
Finally, each acre of land could harvest a few stones.
These soldiers are all Zhang Heng's troops stationed in the army.
Now Zhang Heng takes the young and strong to join forces with Liang Xing to fight Lu Bu, leaving two to three thousand old and weak soldiers in Huangbaicheng.
An old soldier with gray hair wiped his sweat with his sleeves, picked up the water bag, raised his head and drank a few sips of water.
He suddenly felt the earth shaking, and then heard a low rumbling sound.
This old soldier had been on the battlefield for a long time, and of course he knew that this was a large group of cavalry coming.
He squinted and looked into the distance, and saw a line of cavalry coming from the southwest horizon.
"Enemy, enemy, attack, run quickly."
The old soldier shouted as he ran towards Huangbaicheng.
The soldiers who were harvesting wheat in the fields also fled towards the city.
The cavalry was approaching very quickly.
It was Lu Bu's tiger, horse and ordinary garrison cavalry.
The iron pagoda was too heavy and slow, so they were not brought out.
After the cavalry arrived, they did not chase the fleeing soldiers, but set fire to the fields, burning both the unharvested wheat in the fields and the harvested and piled wheat.
Then he quickly rode his horse towards the wall of Huangbai City and fired dozens of headless arrows into the city.
Finally, they galloped into the distance together, disappearing under the horizon and heading to other counties.
The general at the head of the yellow and white city looked at the burning fields and stamped his feet: "It's over.
This year's harvest is over.

What will tens of thousands of men, women, and children eat next year?"
Some soldiers found that the arrows that were shot in seemed to have Tie something up.
