The rear soldiers and horses of the Baibo army who were trailing behind were overtaken and attacked by the cavalry led by Zhang Liao and Du Kai.
The Baibo bandits abandoned their baggage and fled in all directions, fearing that they would be killed if they ran too slowly.
A large amount of food, grass and treasures were intercepted by Zhang Liao and Du Kai.
The food, grass and a large amount of property that Guo Da had stolen from the wealthy families all fell into the hands of Liu Cheng.
After hearing this, Guo Da was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
After he captured Anyi City, he also obtained a lot of property and food, and Liu Cheng put the army into a state of rest and showed no signs of continuing to attack south, which made him feel more at ease.
In a blink of an eye, it was 190 AD.
Just after the New Year, Dong Zhuo reported to the emperor that he changed the name to Chuping in the Yuan Dynasty, which was the first year of Chuping.
The news quickly spread to Hedong.
Liu Cheng did not expect that the emperor would still be Liu Bian, but the reign name should still be Chuping.
It must be said that history still has a lot of inertia.
In the first year of Chuping, on the sixth day of the first lunar month, Liu Cheng led his army southward and attacked Anyi.
After Guo Da got the news, he was so angry that he ignored the dissuasion of his advisers and led 20,000 horses north to meet Liu Cheng's army.
The two sides encountered each other northeast of Wenxi and on the south bank of Sushui, and a war broke out.
At that time, Liu Cheng's army was crossing the river, but 20,000 horses had already crossed the river and reached the other side.
The remaining rear army was still on the north bank of Sushui.
Guo Da's spies learned the news and immediately reported it to Guo Da.
Guo Da immediately decided to attack Liu Cheng's army.
Launched an attack, intending to defeat Liu Cheng's army while it was still on its feet.
Liu Cheng's 20,000-strong army that had already crossed the river was indeed not yet firmly established.
At that time, Guo Da had already led his army to attack, but the two sides were still five or six miles apart.
If other armies were unable to arrange their troops in such a short period of time, they might not be able to arrange their troops.
In formation, it is common for soldiers to be unable to find generals and generals to be unable to find soldiers.
However, this is not a problem at all for the soldiers of the Northern Army who have undergone new training.
It only took 20,000 people to complete the task with a cup of tea.
Set up the formation.
When Guo Da led 20,000 troops to rush over quickly, he had actually lost his spirit and his momentum was exhausted.
However, at this time, Liu Cheng's army was just waiting in full formation, waiting for work.
Originally coming with great momentum, he did not expect to be counterattacked.
Liu Cheng led the soldiers of the Northern Army to take the initiative to attack the Baibo Army, whose momentum was exhausted.
As soon as the two sides came into contact, a fierce battle broke out, with more and more casualties.
The Baibo Army only lasted for a quarter of an hour before they completely lost their momentum.
The casualties were too great.
The first escapee soon appeared, followed by the second and third, with more and more escapees.
Guo was so furious that he swung his sword and beheaded more than a dozen people, but failed to stop his flight.
His general Li Le, whose face was covered with blood, chopped down several Northern Army soldiers and then rushed to Guo Da and shouted: "Chief, brother We can't stand it any longer.
Let's withdraw.
We'll leave the green hills behind and don't have to worry about having no firewood.
If we don't withdraw, we'll have no chance."
He originally had the advantage, but the battle ended like this.
Guo Dafeng was about to explode with anger.
He also knew that what Li Le said was right, so he could only order with hatred: "Withdraw."
After the order was given, the Baibo Army fled very quickly.
Many of them even discarded their tattered armor on the ground while fleeing, so that they could run more easily and faster.
Liu Cheng led his troops to pursue them for more than ten miles before returning, seizing a large number of armors, weapons, food and supplies, and also capturing many Baibo soldiers.

Guo Da fled back to Anyi City with more than 10,000 remaining troops.
He immediately ordered all his troops to retreat westward.
On the other side of the Yellow River in the south, Li Jue and Guo Si's 50,000 troops were stationed.
He was not sure of defeating these 50,000 troops.
Facing Wangwu Mountain, the roads in the mountains were rugged.
He was worried that Liu Cheng's army would catch up and annihilate him before entering Hanoi, so he could only follow the advice of his advisers and lead his army westward.
On the eighth day of the first lunar month, Liu Cheng led his army to Anyi City.
The buildings in Anyi City did not suffer major damage, but the houses of aristocratic families, wealthy households, and officials in the city were all ransacked by the Baibo Army, and almost all of them became poor.
The aristocratic families and wealthy households who resisted were executed by the Baibo Army. .
Liu Cheng held the handle of the knife and walked to the lobby of the government office.
He also walked around the inner hall and the backyard of the government office, and found the wives and concubines of Prefect Zhang Shi.
He knew without asking what Zhang Shi's wives and concubines had suffered in order to survive.
Just after returning to the outer hall, Wang Yue hurried over to report: "My lord, the Baibo Army crossed the Yellow River and headed for Heyang last night under the leadership of Guo Da."
"So fast."
Liu Cheng was surprised and asked, "This Guo Guo is really brave.
He dared to lead his troops across the river in the middle of the night.
Aren't he afraid that the whole army would be buried at the bottom of the river feeding the fish?"
Wang Yue shook his head and said: "My lord, Guo Tai was also lucky.
It was very cold last night and the Yellow River was frozen in the middle of the night.
After Guo Da got the news, he led people to cross the Yellow River on the ice overnight.
After landing, he immediately said to Heyang The city launched an attack, and it is estimated that Heyang has been captured by now."
Liu Cheng smiled and said: "This is exactly the result I hope for."
By driving the Bai Bo army to Zuo Feng Ling, Niu Fu could be restrained, so that both sides of Niu Fu were restrained and unable to move.
At this time, Xu Shu walked in and reported: "My lord, the Baibo army retreated too quickly, and a large amount of grain, grass, supplies and property were left in the treasury."
"Oh, Guo Da is really generous," Liu Cheng said with a smile.
The subordinate officials and staff immediately laughed when they heard this: "Hahaha" Bai Bo's army left in a hurry.
After Guo Da fled back to Anyi, he fled with a large group of people late that night.
This is why Liu Cheng did not send cavalry to pursue him.
If Liu Cheng really wanted to kill Guo Da, Guo Da could escape. , and it is absolutely impossible to take away tens of thousands of horses.
In his hurry, Guo Da had no time to take away the large amount of grain, grass and property that he had robbed.
These things had been stored in the treasury and were taken advantage of by Liu Cheng's army who came later.
Now, it can be said that most of the wealth in Hedong is concentrated in Liu Cheng's hands, and Hedong County is one of the richest counties in the entire Han Dynasty.
In the next few days, Liu Cheng sent people to eliminate the remaining forces left by Guo Da, and eradicated the remaining forces of those wealthy families as the Baibo Army.
On this day, Liu Cheng sent someone to call all his generals and school officials to the lobby.
Everyone thought there was something important, but when they got to the lobby of the government office, they all asked each other, but no one knew.
Not long after, Liu Cheng arrived, and someone shouted: "The general has arrived!"
Everyone stood up one after another, cupped their fists and bowed their hands, saying: "See General" "Okay, no courtesy."
Liu Cheng raised his hand and walked to sit down behind the desk.
"Thank you General" Liu Cheng looked at everyone and said: "The war against the Baibo Army has come to an end for the time being.
Although the main force of the Baibo Army is still there, it has been driven to Shaanxi by our army.
This is exactly what we expected.
As for the next step, the army will We have been fighting for the past two months, and the soldiers are also very tired.
We also need to let them take a good rest.
After the rest, we will make a decision based on the situation."
"I have called you all here today to reward you based on your merits.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
I have written to the imperial court to ask for merit for you.
Once the imperial court awards are issued, those who have official positions will be promoted.
Those who have not yet received official positions will be promoted after the awards are issued. official position" "In addition to official positions, there are also financial rewards.
Of course, you all know that the government is currently controlled by Dong Zhuo.
He also relies on me, Liu Cheng, for the official position, so he will not be too embarrassed.
He does not dare to deliberately refuse to approve the promotion. , but it is probably impossible to get him to reward money.
The imperial court itself has no money, and even his Xiliang army has not enough to eat, so I don’t expect him to give a reward.
This reward will be given by me.
Someone, bring it up."
A clerk led eight soldiers carrying four boxes in, put them down in the middle of the hall, and opened the four boxes one by one, revealing yellow gold cakes.
Although the generals and school officials present did not look sideways to avoid being thought that they were greedy for money, they were still very excited.
Who doesn't love money?
Liu Cheng said with a smile: "People say that money is something external to the body.
If you don't bring it with you in life, you won't take it with you in death.
They also say that money cannot be taken away from a man's ambition.
Literati and scholars call it vulgar when they talk about money.
Some people say that money is not omnipotent.
However, there is a saying that is very good.
Without money, nothing can be done.
Today we are also vulgar.
The military advisor is offering wine to Jia Xu.
In this battle, the counselor will be rewarded with 20 gold for the military aircraft, suggestions and efforts. " The imperial courts of the Han Dynasty had strict regulations on the exchange of gold and coins.
One gold was worth ten thousand copper coins.
In other words, the reward Jia Xu received was equivalent to 200,000 yuan, which was a very generous reward.
Jia Xu stood up with a smile and cupped his hands to express his thanks: "Thank you so much, my lord, for the reward.
I would be disrespectful to refuse."
The clerk took out twenty gold cakes from the box with a cloth bag and handed them to Jia Xu.
Jia Xu was a frail old man.
He was still struggling to hold twenty kilograms of gold cakes.
When he walked back to his original position, His calves were still trembling, causing the other generals and officials to laugh.
Next, Liu Cheng rewarded Chen Dao, Du Kai, Yang Ru, Wang Shuang, Zhang Liao and others with fifteen gold each.
The generals who accompanied the army and some subordinate officials Xu Shu and others also received many rewards, even Zhu Jian who was not here Pinghe Shitao, Xu Rong and Zhao Yun who were far away in Guanzhong, Xun Yu, Zhong Yao, Zhang Ji, Yan Xing and Lu Weihuang in the capital also all received rewards.
Everyone was carrying money bags containing gold cakes, and everyone was smiling.
It seemed that money still had some effect.
After the money reward was completed, Liu Cheng said: "Okay, after the money reward is completed, I have asked people to prepare wine and food.
You will have dinner here before leaving.
Come and serve the wine and food."
One by one, the maids brought the wine and food to the lobby and served them to everyone one by one.
While eating the wine and food, everyone discussed the general trend of the world.
Halfway through the wine, a junior high school officer walked in quickly and reported: "General Qi, Hedong Governor Zhang Shi, Fu Cheng Wang Yi, Fu Yu Wei Gu, and County Lieutenant Zhang Sheng and others are in the city with hundreds of soldiers and horses.
Call the door outside" Liu Cheng put down his glass and said: "Hey, these guys ran away very quickly during the war, leaving the people in the city alone.
Now that the Baibo bandit army has been beaten away by my general, they immediately ran back to pick peaches, plotting It's quite good.
Everyone, please tell me whether you should open the city gate and let them in
