Chapter 770

Zhang Xiu see a heavyweight, did not seize, will no longer be in charge of catching things. He arranged for Huang Zhong to take people with him. Along the way, he began to restrain the body and burn it directly.

After arranging all this, Zhang Xiu takes Sima Yi and others to Xinye county.

Now Xinye has won.

At the beginning, Zhang Xiu planned to take Xinye, but Cao Cao also devoted all his soldiers to Xinye. So a few soldiers arranged by Zhang Xiu easily captured Xinye county.

Back in the city, the soldiers were stationed.

It took three days for Huang Zhong to withdraw with his soldiers.

In fact, in this battle, Zhang Xiu and Cao Liu's allied forces suffered countless losses.

Too many soldiers have been lost.

Zhang Xiu asked Huang Zhong, Zhang Yan, Zhao Yun, etc. to count their losses in order to provide for the soldiers. In addition, they arranged for people to set up a burial mound in the place where the soldiers died, and then set up a stone tablet with the height of three people.

Zhang Xiu went in person to mourn the dead soldiers. After all this, the soldiers under Zhang Xiu's command should be adjusted. Those who should be given pension are also given pension.

Those who deserve to be rewarded will also be rewarded.

All those who should be promoted should be promoted.

Behind a war, the money and food consumed are enormous. Thanks to the rich places like Jingzhou, Hanzhong and Guanzhong, Zhang Xiu could afford such a war of attrition.

On this day, in Xinye city.

The big account of the Chinese army.

Zhang Xiu summoned the civil and military generals under her command, and everyone gathered.

Zhang Xiu's eyes were sharp, and she said in a deep voice: "I can't swallow the tone of being attacked by Cao Cao and Liu Bei. Originally, my plan was to dispatch troops to Yizhou and seize Yizhou first, regardless of Cao Cao and Liu Bei after the huge losses. "

"But I thought about it. In this war, we lost countless soldiers, especially Jia Xu and Gan Ning in the north, who defeated Yuan Shao. Cao Cao is not prepared to give up on such a premise. "

"It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. But I, Zhang Xiu, am not a gentleman. If I have revenge, I will take revenge. If I don't, I will have a knot in my heart. So I decided to mobilize the army and go north again to attack the area under the jurisdiction of Cao Cao in Yuzhou. "

Zhang Xiu said: "do not seek to kill Cao Cao, at least to hurt Cao Cao, let Cao Cao incomparable pain."

When people hear what they say, they all think for themselves.

A moment later, Huang Zhong took the initiative to say: "Lord, now we are converging with the two armies of the black mountain army, plus Baima Yicong, the troops are less than 20000, and the losses are enormous. Under such a premise, is it suitable to fight? The last general thinks that we should take a rest and recover our strength first. "

Zhang Xiu said directly: "we have lost a lot. Is the loss of Liu Bei and Cao Cao small? In my hand, there is also an imperial edict ordered by the emperor, which is specially used to attack Cao Cao. "

"Now, we will use the emperor's edict to attack Cao Cao."

"Cao Cao's loss in this battle is huge. The emperor intends to seize power inside, and we attack outside. Even Liu Bei was still staring at Cao Cao. Although we are weak, in fact, we are not weak either. "

"We went north from Xinye, first to Yuyang County, then to Nanyang County, and finally to Luyang county. Along the way, new recruits will be recruited and strength will be restored. "

Zhang Xiu said: "even if the combat effectiveness of the recruits is weak, they will still have combat effectiveness when the number of recruits is sufficient. What's more, in this war, I'm going to send troops from Hanoi to Yanzhou. This time, let Cao Cao have a taste of being besieged by many armies. "

Huang Zhong heard, no longer speak, he has heard Zhang Xiu's decision.

This is determined to send troops.

Zhang Yan's present black mountain army has only over 6000 troops, which has caused huge losses. This time the loss, but also make Zhang Yan heart hold a breath, he clenched his teeth and said: "Lord, I agree to send troops. If you don't beat Cao Cao, you will never give up. "

"Yes, if you don't beat Cao Cao, you will never stop."

Zhao Yun also spoke directly.

Today, Zhao Yun's Baima Yicong is a team of 3000 people. But now, there are less than 600 people.

The loss is huge.

After returning to Zhang Xiu, Zhao Yun also experienced several wars. His Baima Yicong also took part in the war several times. Although there are occasional losses, they are still in the range of bearing.

Today's loss, he is unbearable, the loss is too big. To restore the fighting capacity of Baima Yicong, it must take a long time.

The generals spoke one after another.

It's true that although this battle was won, the generals were not willing to accept it.

I don't want to just give up.

I don't want to retreat like this.

In particular, without Zhuge Liang's last 20000 troops, this battle would be enough to destroy Cao Cao's and Liu Bei's troops, and even capture some important figures alive.

Now, it's impossible.

Zhang Xiu's eyes fell on Sima Yi and asked, "Zhong Da, what do you think?"Sima Yi said, "I agree to send troops."

After a pause, Sima Yi continued: "all the generals in the army are unwilling and angry. Similarly, the soldiers in the army are the same, so they think that under the current situation, they can fight the first World War. Officers and soldiers should be like mourning soldiers with their enemies. At this time, the morale of the army can be used to fight. "

Huang Zhong said: "Mr. Sima's analysis is right. But the key is, Yizhou, for the time being

Huang Zhong considered this.

Yizhou, he believes, should be the first to capture.

After hearing this, Zhang Xiu looked at Wang Yue and asked, "Wang Yue, is there any news from Yizhou now?"

"No!"

Wang Yue shook his head and replied.

Zhang Xiu thought about it and said, "since there is no news back, it shows that Zhang and Pang Tong have consolidated their previous achievements in Yizhou, at least they have not lost."

"Although we haven't gone south to Chengdu, we haven't broken through the Jianmen pass. For us, it's nothing. As long as Liu Zhang's army does not have a counter offensive for the time being, the war in Yizhou will be stranded for some time. "

"Sooner or later, Yizhou is in the bag. Not only Hanzhong is in our hands, but also Yizhou is under our control. But Cao Cao is different here. If you miss this chance, it's not easy to defeat Cao Cao. "

"Especially in this war, Cao Cao and Liu Bei suffered extremely heavy losses. A few days ago, as soon as we won, I had already sent Wang Yue to spread the news of Cao Cao's defeat to Xudu. "

Zhang Xiu said: "when the news gets around, I expect that the emperor and the officials loyal to him will make some moves again. With these people holding Cao Cao back, it's our chance to do it. "

Huang Zhong said, "if that's the case, I will fight with my Lord."

Zhang Xiu has made a decision. Huang Zhong can't persuade her. It's a matter of no choice but to fight with Zhang Xiu.

Zhang Xiu looked around and asked, "do you have any different opinions?"

"No!"

All of them answered.

Zhang Xiu nodded. He looked at Zhang Yan, Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun, and said, "you muster the soldiers in the army immediately and let them gather in the school yard. Next, I'm going to lecture, and then I'm going north. "

"Here it is

Three people should go to arrange it immediately.

Zhang Xiu asked someone to clean up the camp. After he took Sima Yi out of the camp, he strode to the military camp.

At the moment, many soldiers are bound with gauze.

Many soldiers have been injured.

The fighting spirit of these soldiers is still high, and they have never been affected by the war. All the soldiers lined up. The school yard was quiet. No one spoke.

Sima Yi followed Zhang Xiu to the front of the army. Sima Yi stood aside while Zhang Xiu went directly to the front of the army. Zhang Xiu's head was raised and her eyes swept over all the soldiers.

The soldiers were in high spirits.

This is praised by Zhang Xiu.

Zhang Xiu's soldiers, no cowards, are all valiant soldiers, are good sons of iron.
