The Battle of Baixing was a decisive battle.
In this battle, Lu Bu's army wiped out more than 6,000 enemies and captured more than 4,000 people.
They captured more than a thousand pieces of baggage that Cao Jun planned to deliver to Zhang Yan, and the greatest result was the killing of Zhang Yan.
After Zhang Yan's death, most of the rest of the Black Mountain Army went west to Taihang and joined Lu Bu.
A very small number followed Cao Cao's army and fled eastward back to Jizhou and joined Cao Cao.
Immediately afterwards, heavy snow fell in the Taihang Mountains, and the mountain roads were blocked by the heavy snow.
At this time, a very small number of the Black Mountain remnants who were still hiding in various ravines and lacked food and clothing took the initiative to surrender to Lu Bu's military camp on the nearby mountain road in order to survive.
At this point, the entire Taihang Mountains and Wangwu District in the southeast of Bingzhou can no longer see the shadow of the Black Mountain Army.
The Black Mountain Bandits and the Black Mountain Army have become a historical term.
Of course, it is neither possible nor necessary for Cao Cao to use troops in the southeastern mountainous area of Bingzhou.
After all, Cao Cao is Cao Cao, and he has a mind that ordinary people cannot compare to.
After a long sleep, he put aside the worries of stealing chickens but failing to lose rice, and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the war against the remnants of the Yuan family and Wuhuan.
Lu Bu also used this winter to pay close attention to the internal affairs layout of Bingzhou, properly arrange various personnel, reorganize and surrender the army, and deploy defense.
Then Ma Chao was left behind, and Pang De guarded Bingzhou.
Together with Zhang Liao, he led the Huben army back to Chang'an.
It was New Year's Eve when they arrived in Chang'an.
In Chang'an Mansion, a family of seven was waiting for his return.
In the seventh year of Jian'an, two more men were added to Lu Bu's family.
Lu Bu looked at the children Cao Min and Diao Chan were holding in their arms, pinched their chubby little faces and said, "Thanks to you two good wives for the hard work this year."
A family of eight gathered together to spend a peaceful New Year amidst the crackling of firecrackers.
Not only the Lu Bu family, but the entire Guanzhong people, like the common people in Hanzhong, Zhugu, and Dongsan counties, lived a rare New Year without war, hunger and cold.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Lu Bu and his family came to Zhugu again.
The reason why I brought my family is because I expect to stay here for a long time.
Lu Bu knew that Cao Cao would definitely end the war against Wuhuan before this summer.
At that time, he had only two attack directions, one was to attack Lu Bu to the west, and the other was to sweep southward to Jingzhou and Jiangdong.
The first direction of attack should be a wise choice, but Lu Bu stationed elite troops and built solid fortifications at Taihang Pass in Bingzhou and Tongguan in Yongzhou.
Cao Cao currently does not have the strength to overcome these two lines of defense, so Cao Cao is more likely to choose the second attack direction.
If Cao Cao goes south, he will definitely take Nanyang and Jingzhou first.
Finally captured Jiangdong.
This is why Lu Bu will stay in Zhugu for a long time in the future.
This is where he can get information on the situation as quickly as possible.
Another reason is that Liu Bei came to Nanyang.
If the historical direction of this world is not too different from the original world, he should be able to find Zhuge Liang in the Xiangyang Nanyang area and ask him to come out.
When Cao's army went south in the future, he seized the opportunity to capture Jingzhou and Yizhou in one fell swoop.
Lu Bu's next step is to conquer the Bashu land in Yizhou.
Zhuge Liang and Lu Bu silently recited this name that has been praised for thousands of years in later generations.
He also sent personnel to secretly investigate Zhuge Liang a few years ago.
From Zancheng to Rangcheng, then to Xinye, to Xiangyang and the mountainous area on the west bank of the Han River, the personnel sent by Lu Bu conducted overt and covert inspections, but could not find Zhuge Liang.
I finally found this place called Longzhong, located at the junction of Gucheng County and Xiangyang.
A mountain valley surrounded by mountains, with only a few families in the valley.
This place has been passed through a sieve by hero hunters over and over again.
There is no place like Wollongong in Longzhong.
In the end, let alone Zhuge Liang, not even a scholar named Zhuge or even a scholar who could read and write was found.
Lu Bu wondered whether there was no such person as Zhuge Liang in this world or the historical data of the original world were wrong.
In fact, Zhuge Liang was not a famous person before the Battle of Chibi or he did not even visit the thatched cottage at all.

Lu Bu wanted to find Zhuge Liang.
The biggest reason was not that he was eager to get this mastermind, but that he didn't want Liu Bei to get this mastermind.
In the eyes of Lu Bu, who had been a man for several generations, these ancient famous counselors were far from being as infallible and intelligent as they were mythologized by later generations.
After all, the ancients are ancients, and we will not discuss whether their intelligence is different from that of modern people.
Based on their knowledge and knowledge alone, it is impossible for advisors like Zhuge Liang and Guo Jia to be higher than ordinary people in the post-industrial era who have received higher education, mastered systematic analysis methods, had logical thinking ability, and had extensive reading and knowledge.
Where to go.
After all, when they are in their twenties and thirties, they will not have read more than thousands of volumes and millions of words of books, most of which are about literature, etiquette, and eight-part essays.
The history we know is less than a thousand years old.
The world that can be seen is as big as the Yinshan Mountains in the north, Lingnan in the south, the sea in the east, and the Snow Ridge in the west.
Nanyang County, Xinye City.
When the snow first melted in spring, Liu Bei stayed in his house and knitted straw sandals.
Zhang Fei and Guan Yu stood on both sides of him.
As Liu Bei compiled it, a sadness surged into his heart.
"This year marks the eighth year of Jian'an.
How many years has passed since we rebelled against the Yellow Turban bandits?"
He suddenly turned to Guan Yu and asked Zhang Fei.
"The year we raised the army was the seventh year of Guanghe reign of Emperor Ling.
It has been eighteen years now."
Guan Yu replied.
"Time flies so fast.
Eighteen years have passed in the blink of an eye.
But now we are still dependent on others, with no more than five thousand soldiers and only five generals."
Liu Bei said sadly again.
What he said was true.
At this time, Liu Bei had become a greasy middle-aged uncle in his forties, and a lot of his original ambitions had been worn away.
Looking at Zhang Fei, Guan Yu was silent, and Liu Bei continued: "I know, I am too low.
I can't compare with Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Liu Biao, Liu Zhang, or even Sun Quan from Jiangdong.
But this guy Lu Bu is also He was born as a military man, but now he has acquired three states and two counties, and he is now the second largest prince in the world after Cao Cao.
Is he more talented than me, more prestigious than me, or just lucky?
It's really a matter of comparison.
Dead man" When Zhang Fei heard Liu Bei talking about Lu Bu, a strange look appeared in his eyes, which was a mixture of anger and fear.
The fists of both hands clenched loudly.
Guan Yu comforted Liu Bei and said: "Brother, don't let others' ambitions destroy your own prestige.
I think that Lu Bu and the slaves of the three surnames are just lucky enough to get these territories.
In the future, they will surely be destroyed like Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu."
It's just that my brother's luck has not yet come.
When his time comes, with his reputation, virtue and bloodline, he will definitely be able to transform into a dragon. " At this time, a soldier came to report that a scholar and Confucian scholar asked to see Liu Bei.
He claimed that his surname was Zhuge, his given name was Liang, and his given name was Kong Ming
