The Battle of Xiaqiu ended with the Xuzhou Army's complete victory.

Xu Dan and Tao Ying took Tao Qian's body and the remaining soldiers and fled eastward. They were planning to return to the base camp of Guyang City, but who knew that Guyang had already fallen into the hands of the Xuzhou Army.

It turned out that Gan Ning was ordered to lead 2,000 naval troops to march westward. He rushed all the way from the Huaihe River to Huishui River and approached the gates of Guyang City.

The garrison of Guyang City was no more than a thousand men, and the one who stayed behind to guard Guyang was Yu Zi from Tao Qian's army. When he saw the Xuzhou soldiers coming, he immediately defended the city and refused to leave.

Arrows were raining down on the city. Gan Ning went to the city in person to check the situation. Unexpectedly, arrows from the top of the city were shot in front of him.

Gan Ning was furious and immediately attacked the city himself.

The generals advised one after another: "Guyang is well-defended. Now that we are attacking the city, we can either send soldiers to build earthen hills to attack it; or we can erect cloud ladders and build rainbow bridges, and then look down into the city and attack it. How can we attack the city rashly without being fully prepared?"

.”

Gan Ning immediately said angrily: "Our army came all the way here just to raid this place. Your method is time-consuming. How can our army wait? Now that our army has just arrived, its morale is very high. We can take advantage of this vigor to attack with all our strength."

If we advance our troops now, Shen Shi will break the city."

All the generals didn't believe it.

But Gan Ning, an expert in art, was bold. Seeing arrows falling on the city, he held an iron shield in one hand and a ring-headed sword in the other, and braved the arrows himself.

When the soldiers at the top of the city saw this, they shot at him one after another.

Gan Ning used his shield to protect his chest, used his sword to push aside the forest of arrows, and climbed up step by step. When he got close to the top of the city, he jumped up, jumped up to the top of the city, and then slashed wildly with his sword. No one could stop him.

Yu Zi stepped forward to stop him, but was knocked down by Gan Ning with a shield and hacked to death with a knife.

Seeing Yu Zi's death, the defenders at the city head fled one after another. However, the soldiers behind Gan Ning, their morale greatly boosted, swarmed up and broke through Guyang.

Until now, it has not yet arrived.

After Gan Ning took Guyang City, he set up an ambush. Xu Dan and Tao Ying came to the west and ran into Gan Ning's encirclement. Xu Dan tried his best to protect Tao Ying from the encirclement, and only a few dozen people were left around him.

Even my body was lost.

When Dingxu, Dian Wei and others came after them, they saw only a large number of prisoners and Tao Qian's head.

The three of them had been together in Guangling for a long time and were all familiar with each other, so Dian Wei smiled and said: "It seems that fate is not as good as fate. We have been fighting for many days, but in the end we are not as willing as you."

Everyone laughed.

With Tao Qian's conferment, the entire Xiapi Rebellion was basically over.

The news was sent to Pengcheng, and Cao Ang was very happy.

Regarding the Battle of Xiapi, Cao Ang's main purpose was to train his troops and exchange blood, so he did not have much requirements for the outcome of this battle.

Cao Ang was even prepared for the defeat at Xiapi and he was going to clean up the mess.

But the result now is that, except for Tao Ying who fled west, Xu Dan and Zuo Rong who fled south, Tao Qian died, Tao Qian's entire army was wiped out, and almost all those who participated in the rebellion in Xiapi were executed.

kill······

This result is so unexpected, it’s simply too good to be true.

With Tao Qian's death, Xuzhou loses a thief who knows everything about Xuzhou. In future battles with Yuan Shu, there will be one less person who knows Xuzhou well.

And the powerful people in Xiapi State were cleaned up again, and it was much easier to manage Xiapi again.

The powerful landlords are like leeks, they cut one crop after another, but during the harvesting process, they cannot hurt their hands, and they cannot let the leeks stop growing completely. This is a technical job.

Cao Ang ordered that Tao Qian's head be broadcast throughout Xuzhou as a shock.

At the same time, Cao Ang also ordered that his confidant Feng Ren be appointed as the Prime Minister of Xiapi; Han Yi was appointed as the Grand Administrator of Guangling County; Dian Wei was appointed as Jianwei Zhonglang General and led his troops to garrison in Guyang.

The entire Xuzhou is like an iron barrel managed by Cao Ang in the north, and has the natural danger of the Yangtze River in the south. Only in the southwest direction of Xiapi State, which is close to Yuan Shu's sphere of influence, the defense is weak.

The location of Guyang is very important. It reaches Xiangxian County in the north and Jiujiang in the south. Stationing an army here is equivalent to driving a wedge. If Yuan Shu wants to use force against Xuzhou in the future, he will have to pass through Guyang first.

In addition, Dingxu was promoted to the rank of Zhonglang General of the former army, Pang De was appointed as the Colonel of the Brigade and the Ben Department, Zhao Mang was appointed as the Colonel of the Entrapment Department, and Gan Ning was appointed as the Colonel of the Left Division of the Navy.

Dingxu led the front army back to Guangling, while the two troops of Luben and Zhenzhen stayed in Xiapi State to continue to stabilize the place.

As for Cao Bao, Xue Li and other departments, their departments were abolished and their people were given official positions to support them. The rights and rights of the army would definitely not be available.

Everyone in Xuzhou actually suggested to Cao Ang to kill the two of them. After all, they could not open up the door for rebellion.

Cao Ang thought about it and gave up.

Now that Xiapi has been settled, people are already in panic. Although a killing spree can be a deterrent, it can also easily lead to instability. For Cao Ang, it is enough to establish prestige, and now it is time to give carrots.

In addition to the two of them, there was also Wang Mo who surrendered.

Compared with the two of them, Wang Mo's identity was much simpler. He did not belong to the rebel local tycoons, but was just a simple surrendered general, so Cao Ang appointed him as a commander of another department, which was considered as buying a horse bone.

Previously, the signs of unrest in Langya Kingdom had been suppressed by Cao Ang. Cao Ang directly asked Chu Ningjian to remove the guards of Langya King Liu Rong and take over the defense of Langya Palace. At the same time, he killed dozens of Liu Rong's cronies and completely pacified Langya Kingdom.

Now that the north and the south have been established, the whole of Xuzhou has become much calmer.

Cao Ang is not planning to use large-scale troops in the short term, but is planning to focus on the inside.

It's a pity that the tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop. Entering the era of heroes vying for hegemony, the world will become more chaotic.

After Wang Yun killed Dong Zhuo, he took sole control of the government and exposed his arrogant and domineering character. First, he killed the world-famous Cai Yong on the charge of "Dong Zhuo's remnant party", then he dismissed Dong Zhuo's old army, refused to pardon his generals, and even had a fight with Lu Bu.

The relationship gradually fell apart.

So much so that it finally caused chaos.

First, Niu Fu raised troops in Shaanxi County. Although he was defeated by Lu Bu, Li Jue and Guo Fan also raised troops to follow him, and the rest of Dong Zhuo's old troops also responded. By the time Li Jue reached Chang'an, his troops had gathered more than 100,000 troops.

Wang Yun and Lü Bu were defeated, and eight days later, the city of Chang'an was captured. Wang Yun was killed, Lü Bu fled eastward, and the emperor Liu Xie once again fell into the hands of the Xiliang warlords.

It seems that everything is back to the starting point.

Wang Yun had been in power for only two months, but within these two months, the small court, which had once had a glimmer of hope, completely fell into ruin. Huang Zicheng and Fang Xiaoru could not match his ability to harm the country.

After Wang Yun's death, Li Jue was appointed General Yangwu, Guo Fan was appointed General Yanglie, Fan Chou, Zhang Ji and others were all appointed General Zhonglang, and the Han Dynasty entered a new era.

Some people used to think that He Jin and Dong Zhuo were all to blame for the world's current situation. As long as Dong Zhuo was killed, everything would go back to the way it was before.

And this incident completely shattered the imagination of people all over the world.
