Relying on the Huns' defection before the battle, the rebels were also defeated by Cao's army.

Gan Ning, Ma Chao and others pursued the rebels all the way to the foot of Ji County.

They originally wanted to take advantage of the situation and seize the city, but Han Sui, who had fled back to the city early, saw that the situation was not good and ignored the soldiers who had not escaped, and immediately ordered the city gate to be closed.

Seeing this situation, Gan Ning and the others could only fight back.

…

"I've met the general!"

He bowed humbly.

"Our army's great victory today is all due to Xiao Chanyu. Xiao Chanyu does not need to be more polite."

Yang Ling said with a smile.

Hearing his praise, Qubei's smile became brighter, but his attitude remained respectful and authentic.

"The general deserves the award. After all, it's the general who is planning the strategy!"

good.

Just as Qubei said, from the time the Huns went to support Han Sui to today's defection, everything was in accordance with Yang Ling's instructions.

"Brother is indeed far-sighted!"

Zhao Yun praised sincerely.

"As a brother, I just act according to circumstances."

Yang Ling shrugged and chuckled.

"Such resourcefulness really impresses us!"

Ma Teng also shook his head and sighed, looking at Yang Ling with eyes full of admiration!

…

After this battle, after counting, more than 20,000 rebels were killed.

In addition, because Han Sui closed the city gate tightly, more than 30,000 rebels were blocked outside the city. In desperation, they had no choice but to surrender to Yangling.

After gathering these people, Yang Ling had nearly 90,000 troops in his hands!

The advantages of both sides were reversed in an instant.

After cleaning the battlefield, Yang Ling led the army to the foot of Ji County.

But he was not in a hurry to attack the city. He just surrounded the city and then set up camp outside the city.

After a few days of this, everyone in Cao's army was extremely confused.

On this day, Ma Teng brought Pang De, Jiang Ji, Jiang Xu and others to Yang Ling's tent.

"I've met the general!"

After the salute was completed and everyone sat down, Ma Teng couldn't wait to say,

"Now Han Sui is the turtle in the urn. As long as he is destroyed, the chaos in Liangzhou will be over."

"Why has the general refused to order the attack?"

Gan Ning, Ma Chao and others on the side also looked a little confused.

After defeating Han Sui one after another, Cao's army became as powerful as a rainbow.

It was an opportunity to seize this opportunity to capture Ji County in one fell swoop and completely eliminate Han Sui.

But Yang Ling surrounded and refused to attack, which really puzzled everyone.

Seeing everyone's confused looks, Yang Ling smiled and explained,

"Although our army has superior strength, most of them are reduced soldiers. Not only is their combat strength weak, it is even more difficult to remain loyal."

"If the war doesn't go well, I'm afraid there will be changes."

"Besides, Han Sui still has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands, and Ji County has been repaired and reinforced by him many times. It is unwise to attack rashly."

"But don't worry, I already have a way to break the city."

"Han Sui will be captured within three to five days!"

After hearing what he said, everyone felt relieved.

"Since the general said there is a way, we can definitely capture Ji County."

Gan Ning smiled and said,

"We just need to go back and rest and wait for the good news!"

Others also nodded in agreement!

While Yang Ling was talking to Ma Teng and others, he didn't know that Han Sui, Cheng Gongying and others were also discussing them on top of the city wall in Ji County.

"Tell me, why has Yang Ling been reluctant to attack the city?"

After these days of rest, Han Sui's complexion improved a lot, but at the moment he was extremely solemn.

Thinking about his experiences during this period, he felt as if he had had a ridiculous dream!

How high-spirited was the army that originally held 200,000 people?!

But it was Yang Ling who made him look like this!

"My subordinates don't know either..."

Cheng Gongying said with a bitter smile.

After several recent battles with Cao Jun, he had to admit that he was far inferior to Yang Ling in terms of resourcefulness.

Yang Ling's use of troops is like flying horses and antelopes hanging their horns, leaving no trace behind!

But what Cheng Gongying is sure of is that Yang Ling is definitely planning some conspiracy!

Han Sui discussed with Cheng Gongying and others for a while, but they didn't come up with any clues.

"My lord, I have something that I want to tell you or not..."

Cheng Yin on the side hesitated to speak.

"There's so much bullshit, just tell the truth!"

Han Sui said angrily.

"Reporting to my lord, in the past few days, my subordinates have discovered that Song Jian has frequent contacts with Agui, Yang Wanwan and other leaders of the Qiang, Di and Hu peoples."

Cheng Yin said cautiously.

Hearing this, Han Sui's heart skipped a beat!

During the previous battle with Yang Ling, he ran away without warning.

Although he saved most of his troops, it caused heavy losses to other Liangzhou warlords including Song Jian.

The worst one was Zhang Meng, the governor of Wuwei County, who died directly among the rebels!

After returning to Hebei County, Song Jian led other warlords and pointed at Han Sui and yelled at him.

The two sides were at odds with each other and were in a quarrel.

If it weren't for Cao's army outside the city, I'm afraid the two sides would have started a war!

Is it possible that Song Jian was resentful and planned to contact the Hu people to rebel against him?

The more Han Sui thought about it, the more likely it was, and he felt angry and scared!

"This bastard Song Jian actually dares to betray me! Cheng Yin, quickly gather your troops and follow me to kill that guy!"

Fortunately, Cheng Gongying on the side was relatively calm and quickly called Han Sui to stop.

"My lord, don't be impulsive!"

"Although Song Jian has contacts with the Hu people, he may not really intend to betray his lord."

"What if we misunderstood, wouldn't it be an advantage to Cao Jun?"

Han Sui calmed down and thought about it carefully, and felt that what Cheng Gongying said was quite reasonable.

After all, Song Jian, like him, had good relations with the Hu people.

Even if the two parties communicate frequently in private, it doesn't mean anything.

Seeing that Han Sui was persuaded by Cheng Gongying again, Cheng Yin thought for a moment and reminded him in a low voice,

"The military advisor is right, but you must be on guard against others. What if Song Jian and others really intend to do evil to the lord?"

"What's your idea?"

Han Sui looked at Cheng Yin.

"According to my subordinates, a team of troops should be stationed near Song Jian, Agui and others to monitor them."

Cheng Yin suggested,
