Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 557
On the first day of May, Cao Cao led the army to retreat to Julu.In Zhongshan City, Xu Shu ordered all walks of life to continue to defend themselves and not to pursue.However, Guan Hai finally couldn't hold it back anymore, the two armies could not fight, Cao Jun's soldiers retreated and could not pursue, and he had no use for himself, so he ordered [-] cavalrymen under his command, and chased Cao Jun!
Guan Hai ran into Cao Zhang less than ten li after chasing him. Cao Zhang had 5000 men and horses in Bingzhou, including [-] Qingqi. .

"Scatter!" Guan Hai slashed his sword, "Shoot!"

Three thousand Qingqi pulled out their darts and threw them at Cao Jun. Cao Zhang's men had never experienced the battle of Tongguan, so how could they know how powerful the darts were? When one round of darts was thrown, Qingqi was in a mess. When two rounds of darts were thrown, Cao Zhang didn't need to feign defeat, and Qingqi rushed one after another. Back off, leading the infantry to flee together.

"Join!" Guan Hai waved his sword again. "rush!"

Three thousand Qingqi quickly assembled, and the whole team rushed to Cao Jun, Cao Zhang was defeated.After another five miles, there was a sound of drums from left and right, Yan Rou and Cao Hong came to kill, Cao Zhang turned back and fought again.

Guan Hai snorted contemptuously, "Divide into three teams, with thousands of people in each team, and fight each other!" Guan Hai likes to kill, and treats human life like nothing.

Under the siege, Liaodong Qingqi gradually fell into a passive position under the siege, and Guan Hai couldn't see it well. "Get together!"

He once again gathered the remaining thousand Qingqi around him. "retreat!"

Wanting to quit is easier said than done.Cao Chun's five thousand tiger and leopard riders had already outflanked them, and they came to kill them head-on.Liaodong Qingqi chased all the way, and killed all the way. Their manpower and horsepower were not good enough. When the two armies met, hundreds of cavalry fell down.

Guan Hai was furious, and he took out a dart and threw it at Cao Chun vigorously. During the scuffle, Cao Chun realized that the dart had arrived, and the personal guard beside him quickly threw himself on Cao Chun, trying to protect Cao Chun. However, despite Hai's strength, a spear pierced the two of them together and fell off the horse.

"Come on!" The opponent's general fell off the horse, Guan Hai was overjoyed, and seized the opportunity to break through.

Yan Rou held down the iron spear, bent her bow and set an arrow, and the arrow hit Guan Hai in the back of his heart. Guan Hai fell off his horse and died, his head was cut off by Yan Rou.

When Xu Shu learned that Guan Hai sent troops without authorization, he urgently ordered Han Long and Liu Zhi to lead the troops to respond, but only rescued more than a hundred cavalry.

Yan Rou presented Guan Hai's head and was recorded by Cao Cao as a great meritorious service. He wanted to revive the past and worship Cao Cao as his adoptive father, but Cao Zhang and Cao Hong rescued Cao Chun and interrupted his plan.

Seeing Cao Chun, who was in such a miserable state, only exhaled but not breathed in, Cao Cao was deeply saddened and called the doctor to come to treat him.As for the heartfelt guard, he was taken from Cao Chun's body and thrown into the pile of dead bodies, and no one cared about him.

Cao Chun's serious injury had a lot to do with his excessive lust and physical loss. When Liu Bei's two daughters were captured, he tortured them to death within a year. It can be seen that his bad deeds, no wonder the generals criticized him a lot.

He was seriously injured, and Cao Chun died in the camp that night.Cao Cao ordered Cao Chun to be buried thickly and posthumously granted the title of Marquis Zhuang. Guan Hai's head was chopped into pieces to pay homage to Cao Chun.Cao Cao then used Cao Xiu and Qian to recruit [-] troops to guard Julu. Cao Zhang returned to Bingzhou, led his troops back to Yedu, and ordered Yan Rou and Yan Zhi to lead [-] troops back to Zhang Liao. Zhang Liao, Li Dian, and Le Jin went south to Jiujiang to station Hefei to guard against Sun Quan.

Han Long and Liu Zhi returned to Zhongshan, telling Guan Hai that the whole army was wiped out in Fu, suspected of beheading Cao Chun, but Guan Hai also died.

"It's a pity that he is a general." Xu Shu said with emotion, and then assigned Guan Hai's subordinates to Han Long.

After this battle, Xu Shu felt that the battle in Hebei could come to an end. He sent someone to send a letter to Lu Xun, and wrote a letter directly to Zhou Cang, explaining the whole story in detail and pleading guilty.

On May [-], Zhou Cang received a letter from Xu Shu, and he couldn't help but feel sorry for the loss of a general.As Xu Shu thought, Zhou Cang also believed that Hebei had entered a temporary truce, and he would wait and see Cao Cao's next move before making plans.What I have to do now is to stabilize the situation in Hebei, and the second is to reward according to merit.

Youzhou can only maintain the status quo, continue to use the banner of Yuan Mai to win people's hearts, and slowly weaken Yuan's influence.Youzhou has nine counties under its jurisdiction: Yan County, Beiping County, Yuyang County, Fanyang County, Dai County, Shanggu County, Hejian County, Zhongshan County, and Bohai County, with Ji County in Yan County as its administrative seat.

Yuan Mai is the governor of Youzhou, Han Qian is the farewell driver, and Zhou Chong is the envoy of search, and most of the power is in Zhou Chong's hands.Xu Shu is the governor of Youzhou, general of Pingbei, in charge of military power, under the jurisdiction of the six battalions of Chen Dao, Wang Ji, Liu Zhi, Zhuge Dan, Han Long, and Liang Guang. .Lu Xun led Gan Ning, Xu Sheng, and Ding Feng to temporarily station in Nanpi, Bohai County, with [-] infantry and [-] Qingqi. Duanmuling led an independent battalion back to Xuzhou.

Referring to this example, Zhang Jai is the governor and governor of Yingzhou, and the general of Pingdong.Under the jurisdiction of the three battalions of Huang Xu, Liu Qing and Ma Xiu, with a total of 3 people, after Ma Teng died, Ma Tie was transferred to Liaodong.Pei Yuanshao was the governor of Liaodong, the general of Zhenbei, and had jurisdiction over Pingzhou and Jeju.Under the jurisdiction of Bo Cai, Bo Ba, Pei Feng, Du Ji, Ma Tie, Tai Shixiang, and Sun Da's seven battalions, Bo Cai is also the deputy governor, including [-] infantry, [-] Qingqi, and [-] water troops.Xuzhou did not move for the time being.

After this adjustment, in all states except Xuzhou, young people have grown up and started to take the lead: Bo Ba, Pei Feng, Liang Guang, Wang Ji, Zhuge Dan, Ma Xiu, Ma Tie and others, the youngest is less than twenty, and the largest is no more than [-]. thirty.Frequent adjustments brought confusion to the battalion numbers, especially the newly established battalion did not have a battalion number. Zhou Cang handed over this errand to Zhou Wen and Deng Ai, asking them to come up with a reorganization plan and try to make it clear.

Passing the appointment is regarded as a reward for meritorious service, but how to award Guan Hai has become a big problem.Going south to be a vanguard is one merit, beheading the general Cao Chun is another merit, but disrespecting the general's order to pursue without authorization and causing the entire battalion to be destroyed is a great demerit.If Guan Hai is alive, his merits and demerits can be offset, and he will not be rewarded or punished, but if Guan Hai dies in battle, according to Xuzhou's rules, he should enter the Martyr's Shrine. The hot discussion about buying troops was changed to the evaluation of Guan Hai.

There are many reasons to support entering the Martyr's Shrine. Needless to say, conventions and military exploits, there are arguments even for disobeying military orders: generals have the right to help themselves when they are in battle. How should we comment on Guan Hai's complete victory?Opponents are naturally bitten to death. Those who disobey the military order should not be admitted to the shrine.

Zhou Cang has a headache, he can enter the Martyr's Shrine with Guan Hai's merits, but disobedience to military orders can't last long, how should he choose between love and reason?Zhou Wen proposed a method of making peace, that is, Guan Hai entered the Martyrs' Shrine, but did not stand a statue, and recorded it in the Book of Heroes and the Book of Heroes.In response to this suggestion, Yang Rui and Deng Ai respectively gave two supplementary opinions. Yang Rui felt that the statue could not be erected, but a memorial tablet could be erected;

In the end, Zhou Cang made the decision, and Guan Hai entered the Martyrs' Shrine, but the stone statues were not erected and replaced with clay sculptures.

"My lord, Cao Cao sent Liu Ye to Xuzhou again, and he has already passed Pengcheng." Yang Rui came to report, and as soon as Duanmuling left, Duanmuling took over the job of the secret agent again. Fortunately, with the help of Muxi and Mubei, he would not be overwhelmed. .
