With Ji Ling's death, the remaining Ji Ling's army also surrendered.
The battle in the valley also came to an end, ending with the victory of the Jingzhou Army.
Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Gan Ning, Tai Shi Ci, Liao Hua, Guo Jia, Jia Xu and others also gathered in front of Liu Qi, waiting for Liu Qi's order.
"Let the soldiers clean up the battlefield, and then rest here.
Early tomorrow morning, we will go straight to Shouchun City," Liu Qi said calmly.
He had no intention of attacking Shouchun City before.
After all, there were generals stationed there and tens of thousands of troops.
With the current strength, it would be difficult to attack Shouchun City.
Today, there are only 10,000 soldiers and horses left in Shouchun City, and there are no generals.
Yuan Shu's eldest son, the prince appointed after Yuan Shu became emperor, is in charge of Shouchun City.
Ji Ling also died in the battle, and 30,000 The army either died in battle or surrendered.
It would be unreasonable not to take the opportunity to capture Shouchun City.
He is also thinking about Yuan Shu's wealth, which is the capital that will help him develop the two states.
If there is no opportunity, he will not force it.
If there is an opportunity, he will definitely not let it go.
"promise" The generals surrendered and then retreated to make arrangements, gathering their own troops and horses to clean the battlefield.
Of course, some soldiers were left behind to guard the surrendered troops.
In this battle, not one of the 30,000 Ji Ling army escaped from the valley.
There were 2,000 Jingzhou troops stationed outside the entrance of the valley.
Even if soldiers of Ji Ling army broke out, they would only end up dead.
Even the detectives were Dispose of cleanly.
You must know that they plan to attack Shouchun, and they must not allow anyone to escape.
Once someone escapes and reports to Yuan Shu or Shouchun, then even if they get rid of the army led by Ji Ling, there is no need to attack Shouchun City has already been defended, so it will not be easy to attack.
"Lord, we can achieve such a victory this time because of the advice of Military Advisor Jia.
In this way, no one can stop our army from attacking Shouchun," Guo Jia said.
"This article should be recorded as the first contribution," Liu Qi nodded.
He planned to loot Yuan Shu's territory and had no intention of attacking Yuan Shu's main city, but he did not expect that Jia Xu could create such an opportunity.
Jia Xu cupped his hands and said: "This is just the joint efforts of all the generals.
If he hadn't been avoiding it before, Ji Ling breathed a sigh of relief.
Maybe Ji Ling wouldn't have been fooled.
Of course, there was also the Lord's attack on Runan City.
's credit" "Master Jia is too humble," Guo Jia said with a smile.
He didn't have any jealousy.
After all, the more talented people Liu Qi had under his command, the easier it would be to achieve great things.
Jia Xu just smiled and did not reply.
"Well, when the matter is over and we return to Jingzhou, we will definitely reward you for your merits.
Your efforts will not be in vain," Liu Qi said.
"Thank you, Lord" Guo Jia and Jia Xu said at the same time.
Liu Qi did not continue to speak and rode his horse into the camp.
After all, the battle took place in front of the camp, and the original camp was not damaged at all.
They can continue to be stationed here, but the smell of blood in the valley is just a little stronger.
It was still a long time before dawn, and in addition to the rapid march before, they rushed over to assist and blocked Ji Ling's army in the valley, so that all Ji Ling's army could be kept here.
After a continuous rush and a fierce fight, the soldiers who followed Liu Qi already looked exhausted.
If they don't rest and continue on the road to Shouchun, they will be just a tired army, which will have no effect in the past.
Moreover, if there is a sudden change, it will only end in a disastrous defeat.

Therefore, it is necessary to let the soldiers rest here until dawn.
In this way, even if they arrive in Shouchun City, they will still be an elite division, not a tired division.
Guo Jia and Jia Xu also followed Liu Qi and walked towards the camp.
Wait until the battlefield is cleared.
Zhao Yun and others also led the soldiers into the camp, and the surrendered soldiers were also escorted into the camp.
Some soldiers were left to take turns guarding, and then settled down in the camp.
The next day, in the evening.
The sun sets in the west, and the blazing sun slowly sets to the west from the high sky.
The heat radiating during the day also becomes a little warm at this time.
Shouchun City.
The main city where Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor is also where the imperial palace is located.
Now, because Yuan Shu was attacked by the princes, he divided his troops to resist.
He personally led the army in Hefei, stopped the army coming from Jiangdong, and held a stalemate in Hefei.
Shouchun City was under the sole control of Yuan Shu's eldest son Yuan Yao, the prince appointed by Yuan Shu.
Of course, some civil servants were left to assist him.
The leader was Yan Xiang.
After all, Yuan Yao was still relatively young.
At the city gate, people are coming and going, either entering or leaving the city, which makes Shouchun City seem more prosperous.
There will still be some time before the city gate is closed.
The defenders at the city gate are also doing their duty faithfully.
They are guarding at their posts and checking on the people entering and leaving the city.
Flags were fluttering on the city wall, and countless soldiers held spears in their hands, standing upright by the city wall, looking out of the city.
Even little people like them understand that Yuan Shu is not easy to mess around with now.
Everyone knows that the princes led their troops.
They are also worried in their hearts.
After all, the war has not burned here yet, but If one side loses, the war will inevitably burn until Shouchun.
However, although I am worried, I still don’t know the outcome until the end.
Suddenly, the soldiers on the city wall shouted: "Close the city gate quickly!"
The defenders at the city gate did not hesitate and forcibly stopped the people from entering and exiting the city.
They quickly ran back to the city gate passage and began to close the city gate.
They knew that the defenders on the city wall were telling them to close the city gate, so something must have happened.
So I won't doubt it.
It can also be seen from here that these soldiers are not ordinary soldiers.
Indeed, the soldiers who could allow Yuan Shu to stay and garrison Shouchun City must be well-trained and elite soldiers, otherwise, these soldiers would not be allowed to stay.
It turned out that a black shadow appeared in the direction where the sun was slanting down.
Flags were fluttering, and smoke and dust billowed along the way.
Although they were still a little far away and could not clearly see the soldiers and horses there, for the sake of safety, it was best to close the city gate, whether it was an enemy army or a friendly army.
Moreover, the partial general on the city wall also sent a soldier to the palace to report to the prince Yuan Yao, so that the soldiers should be prepared and keep an eye on the soldiers and horses coming from afar.
Gradually, the dark shadow slowly became clear in the eyes of the defenders on the city wall.
That troop of soldiers and horses had three big flags, fluttering in the wind at the front.
In the center is a large black flag embroidered with golden Liu characters, and on the left and right sides are large white flags with the characters Kuangfu Hanshi.
"The Jingzhou Army is the enemy," the garrison general on the city wall shouted.
Even if the defenders didn't shout loudly, the soldiers on the city wall could see it clearly, because the troops and horses coming towards the city gradually magnified in their eyes, and they couldn't even think about it.
They were also somewhat thankful that when they discovered it, they asked the city gate defenders to close the city gate as soon as possible.
Otherwise, if they had waited until the Jingzhou Army arrived before closing the city gate, it might have been too late.

Brush, brush, brush The Jingzhou Army slowly approached Shouchun City, and their neat steps also reached the ears of the defenders on the city wall.
The defenders on the city wall had panic on their faces when they saw the Jingzhou Army coming slowly and densely outside the city.
They knew that Ji Ling was leading an army of 30,000 to pursue and suppress the Jingzhou Army.
Now, the Jingzhou Army appeared in Shouchun City, but Ji Ling did not lead the army, let alone send anyone back to report, so "The prince has arrived," a duck-like voice sounded.
The defenders on the city wall looked in the direction of the sound and saw a young man and a middle-aged man walking up the city wall surrounded by a group of people.
"See His Highness the Crown Prince."
All the defenders on the city wall knelt down.
The person who came was none other than Yuan Shu's eldest son, Yuan Yao, and Yuan Shu stayed in Shouchun to assist Yuan Yao in managing Yan Xiang in Shouchun.
"Get flat," Yuan Yao said.
"Thank you, Prince."
All the soldiers on the city wall also stood up.
Yuan Yao and Yan Xiang walked to the city wall.
"Your Highness, the troops outside the city are the Jingzhou Army," the general guarding the city said, bowing and cupping his hands.
Yuan Yao and Yan Xiang also looked outside the city.
Now the Jingzhou army outside the city was also in formation, and some siege ladders could also be seen among them.
The Jingzhou army, arranged in formation, separated from the middle to both sides.
Liu Qi led Zhao Yun and others on horseback from the formation to the front of the formation, looking at the city wall in the distance.
I saw that the Jingzhou Army's lineup was several times larger than their Shouchun garrison, with at least more than 40,000 people.
Yuan Yao also had a look of panic in his eyes.
Although he was the prince, he was young after all and had never experienced such a scene, so why was he not afraid.
"Yan, Yan Aiqing, what should we do?"
Yuan Yao stuttered a little and said.
Hear the words.
Yan Xiang didn't know that Yuan Yao was afraid, but when he saw the Jingzhou Army's formation outside the city, he didn't know what to do.
Especially since the Jingzhou Army was equipped with siege ladders, it was obvious that they planned to attack the city.
However, he also knew that he could not mess up now, so he said: "Your Highness, don't be anxious, let me ask you first, and then make a decision."
Yuan Yao nodded and agreed, because he didn't know how to deal with it at all.
"The general in charge of the city is Liu Qi, the eldest son of Liu Jingzhou," Yan Xiang shouted to the outside of the city.
He also knew that Ji Ling led his army to stop the Jingzhou Army.
However, the Jingzhou Army appeared here, but Ji Ling did not show up and did not send anyone back to report.
Then something must have happened.
No matter what the accident was, deal with the matter in front of you first. , is the most important thing.
Hear Yan Xiang’s shouting.
Liu Qi rode out, pointed the spear in his hand at the city wall, and shouted: "I am Liu Qi from Jingzhou" "I wonder what Mr.
Liu's intention is when he brings troops to Shouchun?"
Yan Xiang shouted.
"Haha, what do you want?"
Liu Qi laughed, waved the spear in his hand, and shouted: "Young Yuan Shu, by proclaiming himself emperor in the land of Shouchun, you just despise the majesty of the Han Dynasty.
As a descendant of the Han Dynasty, you must uphold the majesty of the Han Dynasty. , if you realize this and quickly open the city gate and surrender, I can spare you the sin."
What he said was awe-inspiring, but only he, Zhao Yun and others knew what his intentions were.
Yan Xiang also frowned.
He knew in his heart that this was just Liu Qi's excuse.
If Liu Qi really wanted to maintain the majesty of the Han Dynasty, he would not have allowed Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty to remain in the hands of Li Jue and others until he was in front of Cao Cao.
Go to King Qin.
He had previously persuaded Yuan Shu not to proclaim himself emperor for this reason.

Because the Han court was still there, as long as he proclaimed himself emperor, people would definitely use this as an excuse to forcibly attack.
Just like now, he was surrounded by enemies on all sides, and Liu Qi also attacked Arrived in Shouchun.
But Yuan Shu had already proclaimed himself emperor.
He was also on the warship and had no way to turn back.
He took a deep breath and shouted: "Master Liu, what is the purpose of this?
You and I know it very well, and we don't know.
Needless to say, if you want me to open the city gate and surrender, that is absolutely impossible."
"Then don't blame me.
I'll give you time to wait for half a stick of incense.
If you don't open the door and surrender, then attack the city.
When the city is broken, it's time for you to wait for your head to fall to the ground."
Liu Qi shouted.
After saying that, he did not continue to shout and led Zhao Yun and others back into the formation.
See this.
Yan Xiang also knew that Liu Qi had decided to attack the city, and there was no room for turning around unless he opened the city gate and surrendered.
"This, this" Yuan Yao also became afraid.
"Master Yan, what should we do?"
the city guard general asked, completing what Yuan Yao wanted to say.
Yan Xiang became calm and glanced at the Jingzhou Army, which was not far away from the city and was full of evil aura.
He also glanced at the general guarding the city.
A flash of light flashed in his eyes, and he said: "I will give you eight thousand soldiers and horses to guard the city wall.
If nothing can be done, we will retreat to the palace to defend.
I will escort His Highness the Crown Prince back to the palace, take good defense, and send someone to Hefei for help.
As long as we persist until our lord returns for reinforcements, the Jingzhou army will retreat."
"promise" The general guarding the city was stunned for a moment, but he still agreed.
He also knew in his heart that defending the city here was the most dangerous, but this was also the palace's first line of defense.
As long as this area was not broken, the palace in the center of the city would be safe.
Although he knew that staying would be very dangerous, he did not dare to refuse.
Once he refused, Yan Xiang would definitely ask him to sacrifice the flag and revive his morale.
There was still a way to survive if he stayed, and Yan Xiang also said that as long as he really If you can't hold on, you can give up and retreat to the palace to defend.
In this way, if we can hold on until the Jingzhou army retreats in the end, it will be a great achievement.
Yan Xiang did not hesitate anymore and handed over the power of troops and horses to the hands of the generals who defended the city.
After all, commanding battles was not his specialty.
Immediately, he took the guards to protect the prince Yuan Yao from the city wall and went to the palace.
Yuan Yao looked at the army outside the city and was already scared.
Now that he was able to leave the city wall, why would he continue to stay and leave in a hurry, as if there was a man-eating tiger behind him.
I don't want to stay here for a moment
