    It was not until the afternoon of the next day that the fire on the south bank of the Han River was slowly extinguished. It was not put out manually, but it was beyond the reach of burning. The camps, countless tents, food and grass, flags and drums that stretched for more than ten miles were all destroyed.  For ashes!

    The personnel also suffered heavy losses: none of the two hundred dead soldiers led by Zhang Xu could come back, and they were all trapped in Lecheng, not knowing whether they were dead or alive.

    Of the five thousand soldiers of Zhang Yong and Zhang Sheng, only more than 400 escaped, and the rest either died in battle or were fed to the fish and turtles of Han River.

    The Hanzhong Army who stayed behind in the camp was also burned to death by the fire and seven or eight thousand people were burned. This was because Zhang Lu saw that the situation was not good and issued the order to "abandon the camp to protect the people", otherwise the casualties would be even more heavy!

    "I regret that I didn't listen to your words, which led to such a tragic defeat and the loss of countless soldiers' lives. How can I have the face to see the elders of Nanzheng City again? It's better to die to apologize!"

    "Master Tianshi, you can't do it, you absolutely can't - wuwu!"

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    Facing the charred camp and the Han River filled with floating corpses, Zhang Lu burst into tears, his heart filled with regret. He hated himself for not listening to Li Ru's good advice and insisting on playing tricks and competing with Xiao Yi, which resulted in the disaster.  There came a fiasco.

    Then he drew his sword and wanted to kill himself to apologize to the whole army. Fortunately, the generals around him had quick hands and quick eyes, stepped forward to stop Zhang Lu, snatched the sword away, and hugged each other's heads and cried together!

    The generals must bear the main responsibility for the disastrous defeat of the Hanzhong Army. If they hadn't encouraged Zhang Lu to send troops late at night to attack Lecheng, how could they have fallen into Xiao Yi's trap and suffered the loss of soldiers and generals and the destruction of the camp?

    In addition, they were too careless, thinking that Xiao Yi did not have enough troops and no ships to use, so he could only hide in the city and defend, so they relaxed their vigilance, so that the defense of the south bank camp was loose and full of loopholes!

    Xiao Yi took advantage of this and used more than a dozen captured boats to secretly send people to the south bank, taking advantage of the wind to set fire to the camp. The people who set the fire were also extremely unscrupulous.

    First, they set a fire in the left camp, and then blew trumpets, drums, and shouted to fight, attracting the Hanzhong Army to fight. Then they set a fire in the rear camp, where the wind outlet was, and the fire spread quickly. The Hanzhong Army tried to save them again.  It's too late.

    These people were even more audacious. They actually took advantage of the chaos, dressed in Hanzhong Army uniforms, and sneaked into the vicinity of the Chinese Army's tent, trying to capture or assassinate Zhang Lu.

    Fortunately, the soldiers were more alert and discovered these pretenders in time. After a bloody battle, they successfully defended Zhang Lu. However, several important generals were killed and the pretenders withdrew calmly The leader was still a man.  Little stutter!

    "Master Tian, ??don't be too sad. Victory and defeat are common things in military affairs. As long as we learn from our lessons, we can still regroup and compete with Xiao Yi again!"

    The camp is burned down. Let¡¯s build another one. The soldiers suffered heavy casualties. Let¡¯s continue to recruit. As for the ordnance and food and grass, didn¡¯t a transport team arrive today? It can solve the urgent need!

    What I am really worried about is Chencang Road, Baoxie Road, and Yangping Pass. The Cao army¡¯s offensive is extremely strong. If they don¡¯t find a way to raise supplies and support troops, they may not be able to support it!  "

    Li Ru was also very depressed. He walked back and forth on the ashes with his hands behind his back, and his figure became much more stooped. He thought that he would win with the strategy of "using clumsiness to defeat skill" that he painstakingly planned, but unexpectedly he was defeated by Xiao Yi again.  !

    But he did not blame Zhang Lu or the generals in Hanzhong, but deeply blamed himself. Through this tragic defeat, Li Ru also learned a lot:

    No matter how sophisticated the strategy is, it still needs people to execute it. Therefore, the first factor that determines victory or defeat is people: if people's hearts are in line, things will succeed; if people's hearts are against them, things will fail!

    He only wanted to fight hard and use the human sea tactic to defeat Xiao Yi, but he ignored the feelings of the Hanzhong soldiers. They were all flesh and blood people, not objects for casual consumption. As a result, he lost the hearts of the people and lost this life.  A war!

    When the Xiliang army entered Luoyang, if I had advised Dong Zhuo to kill fewer innocent people, win more people's hearts, and be kind to the soldiers and people, great things might not be impossible - regret it!  Regret!

    ¡°Then again, although the Hanzhong Army lost for a while, it still has nearly 50,000 troops, the command system is complete, and it can continue to fight!

    Although Xiao Yi won for a while, there were only a few thousand soldiers left. Everyone was injured and exhausted, and they were trapped in an isolated city. They were at the end of their strength!

    Therefore, no matter whether we win or lose, as long as we continue to fight, Hanzhong Group will still win the final victory, as long as it takes a little more time.

    "It's a pity that good fortune never comes in pairs, and misfortune never comes alone. So Li Ru, Zhang Lu and the generals were discussing how to regroup."The army marched together and met victoriously in Lecheng. Xiao Yi jumped on his horse and held a sword, personally inspected the soldiers of each department, rewarded those who had made outstanding achievements in battle, and rewarded the soldiers with wine and meat. The cheers shook the earth!

    At the same time, Xiao Yi warned all the officers and soldiers that after entering the hinterland of Hanzhong, no one should disturb the people, and made three chapters:

    Killing innocent people - beheading!

    Those who plunder property¡ªchop off your hands!

    Those who insult women - castrate!

    When the order was issued, the whole army was in awe. Those soldiers who were eager to try and make a lot of war fortune immediately put their little thoughts away and threw away the sacks prepared to contain the money!

    At the same time, I am also very curious. In the past, when Da Sima attacked the city and plundered the territory, he would definitely loot property. The level of looting was so high that no one in Cao's camp could match him. There was a saying that "Xiao Lang left no grass behind"  Reputation, why did you change your gender this time?

    On August 29, more than 200,000 Cao Cao¡¯s troops crossed the Han River one after another and approached the vicinity of Nanzheng City. They swept away the surrounding towns and villages and formed an encirclement on all sides, but they did not launch a large-scale attack!

    Instead, they built forts, dug trenches, and surrounded Nanzheng City. As Xiao Yi said before, the military battle has been fought, and then there is the political contest. The first choice is to replace soldiers with courtesy, and the second is to fight without bloodshed!

    However, on the second day after setting up camp, news came from Jingzhou: "The army from Nanjun has gathered, and Liu Bei is about to enter Sichuan!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
