The war in Nanyang City has gradually come to an end, with Li Yan occupying the four gates, no reinforcements outside, inside, the main general is killed, and the dragons are leaderless, a large number of Nanyang troops chose to surrender, although the sound of weapons collision and hysterical fighting can still be heard in the city from time to time, but people who have combat experience know that the war in Nanyang City is now over, and the sporadic resistance, in terms of the overall situation, can not set off any wind and waves.
"The overall situation is settled" Li Yan clenched his fists with some excitement, this is his first merit after serving Liu Xie, and this merit alone is enough to gain a foothold in the imperial court.
After the excitement, Li Yan quickly ordered people to go to Wuyang to report the victory, Wancheng was broken, the Son of Heaven side, if he came according to his own plan, Zhang Xun even if he was lucky not to die, the 30,000 army may have been defeated, the entire north of Nanyang, just wait for the imperial army to arrive, the counties will inevitably fall to the wind, although there is still an army to guard against Liu Biao, but at this moment Nanyang must be, the 10,000 army has become a turtle in the urn, just wait for the imperial army to subdue Nanyang, but the soldiers will not be bloody to persuade it to surrender, at that time, Nanyang will be owned by the imperial court, and the momentum of the imperial court will inevitably rise.
Zhongyang Mountain.
After a day of running, Zhang Xun, who did not find the court's pursuers, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and took a group of remnants to find a mountain forest to rest.
Looking around, there were 30,000 troops, and now, there were only about 200 people left, Zhang Xun felt a bad feeling in his heart, and only hoped that he could return to Wancheng in time.
Yuyang still has 10,000 garrisons, as long as these 10,000 garrisons are transferred back to Wancheng, even if the whole territory of Nanyang falls, with Wancheng, he can rely on these soldiers and horses to support for a month or two, as long as Yuan Shu can send reinforcements in time, he may not be without the strength to fight.
It's just that when he thought of this battle with the imperial court, almost a series of defeats, Zhang Xun lost his original confidence in his heart, and now, he only hopes to drive the imperial court soldiers and horses out of Nanyang as soon as possible, as for the matter of capturing the Son of Heaven, he doesn't dare to think about it anymore.
The sky gradually brightened, Zhang Xun shook his head, now is not the time to rest, when he rushes back to Wancheng as soon as possible, this is the last fortress in Nanyang, he must defend it.
"Let the soldiers hold on a little longer, as long as they can return to Wancheng, they can sleep in peace."
Looking at the group of tired soldiers, Zhang Xun sighed and said to the deputy general.
The group dragged their tired steps, until noon did not walk out of Zhongyang Mountain, under Zhongyang Mountain, is the boundary of Wuyin, although not ready to stay in Wuyin, but when he saw the head of Wuyin City, which represents the five-clawed golden dragon flag of the imperial court, Zhang Xun felt quite dazzling, there is still some distance from Wancheng here, if the imperial court has the kung fu to fight Wuyin, why not go directly to attack Wancheng Changing places, Zhang Xun will definitely do this, because Wuyin has no strategic significance at all, as long as Wancheng is taken Thinking of this, Zhang Xun's face changed slightly.
"Zhang Yang" Zhang Xun swallowed his saliva and turned his head to look at a crony beside him.
"The last general" Zhang Yang took a step forward and bowed.
"You take off your armor, go into the city, and go to see what happened, why Wuyin changed its flag," Zhang Xun said in a deep voice.
"Huh" Zhang Yang agreed, and asked someone to help him take off his armor and walk briskly towards Wuyin.
I only hope that I am too careful.
Seeing Zhang Yang enter Wuyin City, Zhang Xun took people to hide in a forest, waiting for news, but there was a panic in his heart.
Soon, Zhang Yang came back with a panicked look.
Zhang Xun hurriedly got up and asked anxiously, "How?"
"General, Wancheng is gone" Zhang Yang said bitterly: "Last night Li Yan disguised himself as our army, deceived the gate of Wancheng, led the troops to seize the city, early this morning, he sent a letter in the name of the imperial court, not only Wuyin, Jianyang, Nieyang and other counties, have also surrendered to the imperial court, this Wuyin surrendered an hour ago, there was no resistance at all, as soon as the Wancheng letter arrived, it immediately changed the flag" "Poof" When Zhang Xun heard this, he sat down on the ground with a pop, looking ahead with his eyes distracted, but at this moment, he didn't even have a chance to fight.
"Li Yan, villain" for a long time, Zhang Xun suddenly roared like crazy, if it weren't for Li Yan secretly defecting to the enemy, betraying him, and introducing himself into the encirclement of the imperial court, how could Nanyang have such a situation I have the heart to fight hard with Li Yan, but look at my side, there are only about 200 people, even if they go, they are only sent to death, thinking of this, Zhang Xun is a little depressed.
"General, what should I do now" Zhang Yang looked at Zhang Xun with a wry smile.
How is it good Zhang Xun shook his head, looked around and said: "Leave here first, go back to Runan, see if you can find the reinforcements sent by the lord, if you can find the reinforcements from the lord, then counterattack back."
Although there are still soldiers and horses on the side of Nieyang, but Wancheng is lost, the grain and grass are gone, even if you go to converge, it will not last long, and going to Nieyang is just a dead end, it is better to meet with Yuan Shu's reinforcements first, and then try to counterattack.
It's just that whether Nanyang can be recaptured or not, by now, Zhang Xun has lost much confidence.
"It is not advisable to stay here for a long time, so you should set off immediately."
Zhang Xun looked at the county seat of Wuyin in the distance and sighed.
"Whoa" When the next group dragged their tired bodies, they began to return, but this time, they did not go to Zhongyang Mountain again, after all, the mountain road is difficult, but along the water, take the ancient mountain road to the direction of Runan.
Blocking Yang, Liu Xie's temporary camp.
According to the previous method of dealing with prisoners, Liu Xie redistributed the Yuan army that was incorporated yesterday, this battle, collected more than 10,000 soldiers, these soldiers are basically Nanyang soldiers and horses, Liu Xie's purpose this time is to recover Nanyang, these soldiers stayed to collect, it is also good for stabilizing Nanyang, Liu Xie ordered Han De as the temporary commander of this army, and now in the army, there are nearly 30,000 troops alone, although according to Liu Xie's method, the resistance of these troops has been greatly weakened, but the army is more than his main force, You must find a time to digest it, otherwise it will still be a big hidden danger after a long time.
"Your Majesty, great joy" Zhao Yun came in from outside the tent, with a little joy on his face, and saluted Liu Xie.
"Oh" Liu Xie raised his eyebrows: "But Li Yan has good news" "Not bad."
Zhao Yun smiled and nodded: "General Li Yan just sent someone to report the victory, Wancheng has been broken, he is sending a letter to the counties, presumably it will not be long before Nanyang will be obtained by our army." ” "Okay" Liu Xie heard this, and couldn't help but feel happy in his heart: "Wancheng, the north of Nanyang is under the control of our army, Zilong." ” "The last general" Zhao Yun hurriedly intervened and saluted.
"You take the soldiers and horses of the headquarters, stationed in Yexian and Wuyang, Nanyang is Yuan Shu's heart, once Nanyang is broken, Yuan Shu will not be willing to rest, soon, when there are reinforcements to come" Liu Xie said solemnly.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, as long as the last general has a breath, he will not let the traitor step into Nanyang for half a step."
Zhao Yun said sonorously.
Liu Xie nodded, in fact, he already knew the news last night, but he didn't make any reaction, as soon as Wancheng was broken, it was equivalent to most of Nanyang to start and subdue the counties, there was no need to rush for a while, but now it seems that Li Yan has begun to subdue the counties, and it won't be long before this Nanyang will be under control.
After sending Zhao Yun away, Liu Xie sat back on top of the handsome position, frowning and looking at the map in front of him.
This Li Yan is a talent, both civil and military, but the ambition is not small, originally Liu Xie was ready to let him come to Nanyang Taishou, but now it seems that it is more appropriate to bring him back to the court and participate in the government, keep him in Nanyang, Liu Xie's policy may not be implemented, and Liu Xie cannot stay in Nanyang forever.
Nanyang is full of wealthy families, and it is the largest county in the world, Nanyang is too guarded, if it is about power, it is not less than a state pastor, Li Yan is talented, but he is also very conceited, and has a strong sense of possessiveness, let him shepherd one side, may not rebel, but Liu Xie's decree, if it is contrary to Li Yan's concept, Liu Xie does not know whether Li Yan will call the shots.
Nanyang was the place where Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu raised his troops, and the family foundation was quite deep, and what Liu Xie was going to do next would shake the foundation of the family, and the people who guarded Nanyang should not only have enough deterrence, but more importantly, have the ability to implement Liu Xie's requirements.
Li Yan is not suitable, but if it is replaced by someone else, for a while, there is no suitable candidate in Liu Xie's hands.
Anyway, let's go to Wancheng first.
At that moment, after Liu Xie's rectification was a little, he ordered the three armies to set off for Nanyang, and the Nanyang soldiers and horses in the Yuyang area could no longer be handed over to Li Yan to subdue.

At the same time, in the area of Huangshui, Zhang Xun led two hundred remnants of the army along the river, and the mountains on both sides gradually became complicated.
"Speed up the march."
Looking at the surrounding terrain, Zhang Xun's brows gradually furrowed, the terrain of this place is too suitable for ambushes and ambushes, although now their troops and horses have nothing to covet, but for the sake of prudence, Zhang Xun still feels that he should hurry up and cross this place.
"General, the road ahead is blocked by rocks, and you can't get through," Zhang Yang quickly ran from the front and said in a deep voice.
When Zhang Xun heard this, his face suddenly changed, and he was about to say something, when there was a sudden surge of people in the mountains and forests on both sides, and in a heroic laughter, a large number of bandits in ragged clothes and armed with simple weapons poured out from all sides, surrounding Zhang Xun and his party.
Zhang Xun's face sank, looking at these ragged bandits, there were four or five hundred people On weekdays, no matter how large the number of opponents is, Zhang Xun is not afraid, even if there are only two hundred elite soldiers, Zhang Xun is confident that he will defeat them.
But now, having just experienced defeat and running around overnight, he has long been sleepy and tired, and his morale and physical strength are no longer enough to fight again.
But at this moment, whether to fight or not to fight, he can't help but feel sad, thinking of this, Zhang Xun can't help but feel sad, when did he fall to the point of being threatened by a group of bandits and grass bandits "General and slow" Zhang Zhao came to Zhang Xun's side, looked around and said: "This is my friend's cottage, let the last general ask, maybe it's his own person." ” t1706231537:
