The Han army finally won the battle of Yuhe, killed more than 1 enemies, captured [-] people, and only more than [-] escaped. The [-] Jiaozhou army was almost wiped out, but the Han army also suffered more than [-] casualties. The price of human beings, the battlefield is a mess, and the smoke of burning corpses is billowing. This is the consistent principle of the Han army, and the corpses are disposed of quickly in the war to prevent epidemics.

Soldiers who cleaned up the battlefield put bundles of armor and weapons on the wooden platform of weapons, which was nearly ten feet long and wide. The weapons, drums, flags and other items piled up were like a hill, and nearly a thousand horses and livestock were tied to it. On the other side, in another wilderness, tens of thousands of prisoners of war sat on the ground, looking worriedly at the thick smoke of burning corpses in the distance, and their hearts were full of worries about the future.

Three thousand soldiers of the Han army guarded the prisoners of war around. Dozens of soldiers dealt with the wounded soldiers back and forth among the prisoners of war. Most of them distributed a medical kit to teach them how to disinfect, apply medicine and bandage. They were sent to the other side for treatment by military doctors.

At this time, Ma Dai brought up a captured civil servant, who was Sima Wangfu. His horse was shot down by random arrows, and he was caught by Ma Dai's subordinates. Ma Dai stepped forward and bowed to Liu Jing, "Your Highness , captured the enemy Sima, called Wang Fu!"

Liu Jing nodded, walked up to Wang Fu, and said with a faint smile, "Wang Sima is from Yizhou, right?"

Wang Fu sighed and said: "I was originally Liu Zhang's secretary, and later I followed Mr. Qi, became Sima of Nanjun, and entered Jiaozhou with Mr. Xuande. I was captured today. I have already died. I hope Your Highness will make it happen."

Liu Jing then ordered the left and right, "Untie the rope for him."

The soldiers untied the ropes for Wang Fu. Wang Fu gently moved his numb wrists and said with a wry smile, "My family members are all in Jiaozhou. Although I have been favored by Your Highness, I don't want to surrender to the Han army."

Liu Jing shook his head and said with a smile, "I don't want you to surrender. Go back and tell Zhuge Liang that I can negotiate with him and exchange the prisoners of the Jiaozhou Army for the prisoners of the Jiangdong Army in his hands. If he doesn't want to talk, then I won't force it."

After finishing speaking, he ordered his left and right, "Give him a horse, and pick some of Guan Yu's personal soldiers, and let them go back."

Wang Fu knew that Zhuge Liang would definitely want to negotiate, so he bowed and saluted gratefully, "Thank you His Royal Highness for your pardon."

He turned to leave, but Liu Jing stopped him, Wang Fu was a little uneasy, and asked, "Does Your Highness have any orders?"

Liu Jing said softly: "Govern Jiaozhou well, educate the barbarians in Jiaozhou, and one day, I will give you a future."

Wang Fu felt his nose a little sore, he nodded silently, turned around and strode away, next to him, Lu Xun sighed, "Your Majesty's ambition for the world, Lu Xun is sincerely convinced!"

Liu Jing smiled slightly, "Since Boyan knows my heart, tell me how I should handle the funeral of the Jiaozhou Army."

Lu Xun also laughed and said: "After hearing what His Highness said to Wang Fu, it is easy to guess His Highness's thoughts. It must be to return the Jiangdong Army and let Zhuge Liang return to the south. This time, the Jiaozhou Army's Northern Expedition suffered a disastrous defeat, and it will not be able to recover within three to five years. With vitality, Liu Bei can only settle down and make a point of crossing the state."

Speaking of this, Lu Xun said cautiously: "However, I have another suggestion from the humble job."

"Tell me, what's your suggestion?"

"Beizhi suggested that Luling County be assigned to Jiaozhou, leaving a gap in Jiaozhou. Liu Bei will perish in Luling County sooner or later."

Liu Jing smiled slyly, "Bo Yan suggested, do you think I will agree?"

The two looked at each other and laughed together

Not long after Zhuge Liang returned to Xinwu County, he immediately sent someone to inquire about the news on the official road in Nanchang. Zhuge Liang was very worried. He knew Guan Yu, he knew that Guan Yu was born with pride, and he would not give up easily when he knew the danger, especially he would not compromise with himself. It will sow the seeds of disaster for the disastrous defeat of the Jiaozhou Army.

The Jiaozhou army was not strong, and Zhuge Liang knew that even though he led the army to unify Jiaozhou, it did not mean that the Jiaozhou army could sweep the Central Plains army. Although they were lucky enough to defeat the Jiangdong army, it did not mean that they could defeat the Han army. In particular, they had just been equipped with the armor of the Jiangdong Army, and they went into battle before training. This effect was not as good as the leather armor and iron swords of the past. Apart from the high morale, Zhuge Liang still could not imagine that they would have any hope of defeating the Han army.

Zhuge Liang stood on the top of the city and looked west. At this moment, a cavalry rushed towards the city and shouted under the city: "Is the military commander here?"

Zhuge Liang raised his head and asked, "Is there any news about the general?"

"Reporting to the military advisor, General Guan was defeated, and they were already ten miles away. They felt guilty and dared not come to see the military advisor."

Zhuge Liang was startled, and asked again: "How many defeated soldiers have returned?"

"About two thousand people."

Zhuge Liang couldn't help but sighed in his heart. The whole army was wiped out. He didn't listen to his persuasion and forced to fight, and now he has such a consequence. Although Zhuge Liang hates him very much, he also knows that now is not the time to blame him. Let him deal with it, go back and let the lord deal with it!

Thinking of this, Zhuge Liang turned his head to Guan Ping and said, "Nephew, follow me to meet your father!"

Guan Ping clasped his fists and saluted, "I would like to go with the military division."

The two got on their horses, opened the city gate, and ran out of the city with their followers. After running ten miles away, they saw Jiaozhou soldiers resting on the side of the road. The last survivor of the war.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had already arrived at Zhuge Liang, and they were ashamed in their hearts. With their upper bodies tied and thorns tied behind their backs, they knelt on the side of the road and pleaded guilty. , Plead guilty to the military division!"

Zhuge Liang sighed in his heart and was amused at the same time. He hurriedly got off his horse and helped them up one by one, comforted them well, and ordered Guan Ping to take clothes for his father, uncle and brothers to wear. The army is wiped out, Guan Yu deserves to die, please use the military law to deal with it."

Zhuge Liang sighed and said: "This is not only your fault, I also have faults, let's not mention this for now, we will plead guilty to the emperor together when we go back, but the situation may not be as serious as General Guan said."

Guan Yu was startled, not understanding what Zhuge Liang meant, and Guan Ping beside him quickly added: "Father, we still have nearly [-] Jiangdong Army prisoners of war in our hands."

Guan Yu suddenly realized that they could exchange prisoners of war, but he was a little worried, and asked again: "Now that the Han army has won a great victory, is Liu Jing still willing to exchange prisoners of war with us?"

Zhuge Liang smiled slightly, "We still have more than [-] people in our hands, and we can strictly guard the new Wucheng. The Han army may not be able to break through without paying a heavy price. I think Liu Jing is eager to rush to Jiangdong, and he will no longer be willing to pay the price, let alone As long as time is spent with us, he will definitely agree to make peace with us."

Guan Yu sighed, "The strategist is wise, Yun Chang is stupid and far behind!"

Zhuge Liang was also quite happy in his heart. Although he paid a heavy price, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei have since convinced him, which may not be a bad thing. He smiled slightly and said, "If I'm not mistaken, Liu Jing will send someone soon. "

As soon as the words fell, soldiers rushed to report, "Wang Sima is back."

Guan Yu was overjoyed. Wang Fu was his confidant and the person he trusted the most. He thought he had died in the rebellion, but he did not expect that he was still alive. Guan Yu was overjoyed, but Zhuge Liang understood that Wang Fu must have brought Liu Jing's news, he immediately ordered: "Wang Sima please come and see!"

After a while, Wang Fu was brought up. He saluted Guan Yu and Zhuge Liang, and said with some shame: "The horse of the humble officer was shot to death and captured by the enemy, but Liu Jing released the inferior officer and let the inferior officer bring his words back."

Guan Yu felt Wang Fu's shame, so he patted him on the shoulder, and comforted him: "It's my fault, it hurt Guoshan, it's the greatest luck that you can come back, don't worry about it."

Wang Fu sighed, thinking of Liu Jing's last words, he felt even more ashamed of Guan Yu, but he couldn't say it, Zhuge Liang couldn't help but asked, "Wang Sima, what did Liu Jing say?"

Wang Fu came to his senses, raised his hand and slapped himself on the face, and actually forgot the business. He hurriedly said, "Liu Jing said that we can negotiate, and he is willing to exchange prisoners. If the military adviser is not willing to talk, he will not force it."

Zhuge Liang sighed, there is still no room for bargaining, and he said to everyone: "Liu Jing means that if we accept all his conditions, then this battle will be over, otherwise not only will they continue to attack, Huang Zhong's army will continue to attack." He will also enter Jiaozhou, this is actually the last chance he gave us."

Guan Yu pondered for a while and asked: "Now that the Han army has the upper hand, they can completely attack us in one fell swoop. Why did they let us go?"

Zhuge Liang smiled wryly and said, "Has General Guan forgotten? Why did he let us go back to Jiaozhou at the beginning? He wanted to use us to unify Jiaozhou. The reason is similar this time. If we occupied Yizhou, which is rich and prosperous, he would have captured us a long time ago." If it’s gone, it won’t wait until today.”

Guan Yu nodded silently, "I understand, everything is decided by the military adviser."

It was Guan Ping who came forward to salute and said: "Military division, the final general is willing to go to Nanchang to negotiate with Liu Jing."

Zhuge Liang thought about it, Guan Ping had saved Liu Jing in Xinye back then, maybe Liu Jing would look at Guan Ping's face, give Jiaozhou a little more benefit, and let Guan Ping go, it is really best, thinking of this, Zhuge Liang Then he laughed and said, "I'll write a letter. General Xiao Guan can go to Nanchang and give the letter to Liu Jing. You don't need to say a word."

"The end will obey orders!"

After two rounds of negotiations, the Han army and the Jiaozhou army finally reached an agreement. The two armies exchanged prisoners of war. All Jiangdong army prisoners of war exchanged all Jiaozhou army prisoners of war. The army stopped attacking Jiaozhou and withdrew to Jiangling.

At the end of the negotiation, Liu Jing reluctantly agreed to assign Luling County to Jiaozhou because of his previous friendship, as a little compensation for their northern expedition. At this point, the turmoil in Jingnan finally came to an end, and the Han army Not only took back all of Jingnan, but also captured Yuzhang and Poyang counties from the Jiaozhou army.

But at this time, the situation in Jiangdong was changing rapidly, Liu Jing ordered to withdraw his troops back to Chaisang, and prepared to sail to Jiangdong.
