Han Dang led the remaining defenders to withdraw from Jiangxia City towards the east gate.
Neither Wei Yan nor Huang Zhong, who had entered the city, pursued him.
They just led their troops to chase the east city gate and captured it, ignoring Han Dang who had already escaped from the city.
Han Dang was allowed to lead the remaining defeated generals to escape from Jiangxia City.
After the city gate was opened, Liu Qi also led the army into the city.
After confirming that Han Dang had led the remaining defeated soldiers to escape from Jiangxia City, he asked the soldiers to clean the battlefield and take over the defense of the four city gates.
But he didn't open the city gate.
After all, he didn't know the current situation in the city.
It still needs to be dealt with again.
Who knows whether Han Dang will leave behind him.
When Jiangdong's soldiers and horses arrive, if something happens in the city, that's it.
Troublesome things.
But he said.
Han Dang led the remaining garrison of less than a thousand people to escape from Jiangxia City through the East City Gate, only to find that the Jingzhou Army only pursued them to the East City Gate and did not continue the pursuit.
He stopped a mile away from the east city gate and looked at Jiangxia City in the distance.
He thought that before, he was the chief defender of the city and the man with the most power.
Liu Qi was outside the city.
But now that Liu Qi led his army into the city, he was in the city in embarrassment.
Escape.
"General Han" said the general who persuaded Han Dang to leave.
Han Dang also retracted his gaze towards Jiangxia City.
With the current strength of the troops, it was impossible to retake Jiangxia City.
If they did not pursue them, they would have left a way to survive.
If they were pursued, whether they could escape or not would be a matter of course.
Problem, and as long as there is an ambush outside the East City Gate, none of them may be able to leave the land of Jiangxia.
Turning the horse's head, he sighed: "Let's go back to Jiangdong and report the matter to the lord.
It's up to the lord to decide."
"Nuo" said the few generals who followed Han Dang and escaped. drive Han Dang turned his head and took a deep look at Jiangxia City, then galloped towards Jiangdong.
The few generals and the escaped defenders did not stop, but followed Han Dang and rushed towards Jiangdong.
They slowly disappeared from the sight of Jiangxia City along the way.
In Jiangxia City, people did not dare to go out because of the war.
Han Dang's former residence was temporarily requisitioned by Liu Qi.
After all, Jiangxia City was now under his rule, so it was natural to requisition Han Dang's residence.
Just after Jiangxia City was captured, there were many things that needed to be done, such as appeasing the people, cleaning the battlefield, taking over the defense, wiping out the remnants, etc.
After everything settled down, it was already dusk.
Liu Qi sat on the main seat in the hall of the mansion and asked: "Han Sheng, what are the casualties of our army?"
"Back to my lord, the ratio of casualties between the enemy and ours is close to one to one.
Han Dang only gathered less than a thousand people to escape from Jiangxia City without taking any prisoners.
He killed more than four thousand enemies and our army suffered more than five thousand casualties," Huang Zhong said.
Liu Qi sighed in his heart.
Although it was a suppression of troops, a strong attack always cost too much.
It can be seen from the casualties that if there was a head-on battle with Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, and Dian Wei, this would never happen. proportion of casualties.
However, this can be considered the best.
If it is really a life-and-death battle, let alone one to one, two to one or three to one are all possible.
When he was about to speak.

A blood-clothed guard walked in from outside, cupped his hands and said, "My Lord, there is a team called the Emperor's Envoys outside the city, saying they are here to announce the decree."
Hearing this, Dian Wei, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, and Kuai Yue all looked at Liu Qi.
Liu Qi was stunned for a moment.
He did not expect that Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty would issue an imperial edict to him.
Moreover, it was obvious that this team had already been to Jingzhou City and knew that he was attacking Jiangxia.
However, they did not stay in Jingzhou City to wait, but rushed over directly.
So this The imperial edict is a bit intriguing.
However, Wang Yun must be involved in the edict.
He touched his chin and said: "After all, he is an envoy of the emperor, so etiquette must be followed.
Please follow me out to see me and see why you are here. " "promise" Huang Zhong and the four others agreed.
They were also very concerned about the imperial edict.
Liu Qi nodded, stood up, and walked out of the hall, preparing to leave the city.
Dian and Wei also stood up, followed Liu Qi, and walked out.
Soon, Liu Qi and others arrived at the city gate.
"Open the city gate," Liu Qi ordered to the soldiers guarding the city gate passage.
After all, Jiangxia City had just been captured, and the people were a little unstable.
Liu Qi did not open the city gates all day long to let people in and out, preparing to open the city gates again the next day.
"promise" The soldiers guarding the gate passage walked behind the city gate, lowered the crossbar, divided it into two sides, and pushed the two heavy gates. squeak The two heavy city gates were slowly pushed by the soldiers and opened to both sides.
As the city gate was pushed open, the situation outside the city gate also came into the eyes of Liu Qi and others.
They could see a eunuch at the front, holding an imperial edict in his hand, and behind him there were carriages, royal flags, and about a hundred people.
People around.
Liu Qi led Dian Wei and others out of the city gate and walked towards the team of the emperor's envoys.
"You are Liu Qi, the eldest son of Liu Zhou Mu."
The eunuch looked arrogant and sounded like a drake.
Hearing this, Dian Wei, Huang Zhong, and Wei Yan looked at the eunuch with anger on their faces, and unconsciously placed their hands on their swords.
If they disagreed, they would kill him with their swords.
Kuai Yue also frowned.
Liu Qi's eyes narrowed, and with a smile on his lips, he said: "That's right, just tell me if you have anything to do."
"Liu Qi accepts the order," the eunuch said coldly. a while "Why don't you kneel down?
Are you despising His Majesty?"
the eunuch shouted.
When he called out the order, Liu Qi and others didn't move at all, they just looked at him, which made him feel very unhappy.
"Humph" Liu Qi snorted heavily, snatched the imperial edict from the eunuch's hand, and said coldly: "You can go back."
"You, you" Liu Qi's actions made the eunuch unable to react at all.
He pointed at Liu Qi with trembling fingers and wanted to say something, but was frightened by the looks of Dian Wei and others.
If he continued talking, he might not be able to leave here.
He said angrily: "Okay, okay, I will definitely report to your Majesty truthfully."
Liu Qi ignored him and acted as if he didn't hear him.
"Huh, let's go."
The eunuch flicked his sleeves, climbed into the carriage, and asked the team to turn around and leave.
You must know that he did not just issue the imperial edict to Liu Qi.
He also went to Jizhou along the way and issued it to Yuan Shao.
Even Yuan Shao did not treat him like this.
He even got some benefits out of it, but he was treated like this by Liu Qi.
He secretly felt in his heart He decided to return to Chang'an and slander Liu Qi to death, otherwise it would be difficult to vent his hatred.

"Imperial decree" Liu Qi sneered.
For such a thing, he still wanted him to kneel down and worship the eunuch.
He really didn't care about life and death.
He looked at the leaving team of envoys and said: "There should be quite a lot of banditry in Jiangxia.
Wen Chang " "I understand," Wei Yan said, cupping his hands.
Neither Dian Wei nor Huang Zhong had any objections.
Kuai Yue also knew what Liu Qi wanted to do, but he did not try to persuade him.
He felt unhappy because Liu Qi was his lord now, and he still understood the principle of a master humiliating his ministers
