Huangfu Chaobo's words made the other two agree, so they returned to their own army and ordered the soldiers to attack the city again. However, each of the three sent his men back to the camp and ordered the camp to be closed to prevent Yuan Shu's army from attacking the camp behind him. Huangfu Chaobo even ordered huyandu to personally lead a thousand Tui cavalry across Feishui to monitor the direction of this army from a distance.

The battle in the city is still going on. Ji Ling leads the fleet into Feishui, then turns East. After driving for several miles, he gets off the ship at the corner of Feishui. Ten thousand troops escort five thousand families and head for Fuling in the southeast.

Cao Cao, who came back to the Chinese army, soon got Ji Ling's army and went behind his camp. At first, Cao Cao thought Ji Ling was going to take his own way, so he immediately ordered Cao Xiu, who was staying at the camp, to send 5000 soldiers from the camp on the West Bank back to the East Bank of Feishui, ready to defend the camp.

However, the thoughtful Sima Yi quickly thought of a problem. Ji Ling should go to Fuling to meet Yuan Yao, the false Prince of Yuan Shu. In this way, it is very likely that Ji Ling has a great treasure on him, which makes sense why Yuan Shu did not retreat with the army, but stuck to Shouchun city.

Sima Yi's words, like a drum in the evening and a bell in the morning, immediately solved Cao Cao's doubts. Therefore, Cao Cao, on the ground that Ji Ling's army was attacking his camp, urgently mobilized 10000 troops from the city's attacking army to return to the East Bank of Feishui. At the same time, Cao Cao quickly told Cao Xiu's army to hold Ji Ling's army regardless of casualties Ji Ling's army was besieged and annihilated on the East Bank of Feishui.

In Cao Cao's opinion, there were 15000 soldiers in his camp. With his 10000 reinforcements, he was fully capable of swallowing this army. In this way, the jade seal really fell into his own hands.

In order to stop the Jiling army, Cao Cao ordered Cao Xiu to send out all the 15000 soldiers and horses that could move in the camp, leaving only thousands of wounded soldiers and more than 10000 civilian men to guard the camp. It's a pity that Cao Cao underestimated the fighting power of the troops led by Ji Ling. When he arrived at the East Bank of Feishui with 10000 reinforcements, Ji Ling had already led his troops to break through Cao Xiu's interception, leaving more than 5000 soldiers and nearly 6000 soldiers dead and wounded. Then he left, which made Cao Cao look at the dust, sigh and regret. He knew that he would have communicated with Huangfu Chaobo and other people, and sent thousands of his cavalry away Borrowed..

But now that the matter has come to this point, it's useless to think more. In desperation, Cao Cao had to order Cao Xiu to clean up the mess, and he led 10000 troops back to Shouchun city again.

As soon as they come and go, one day has passed. The war in the city has ended, and the three armies have not been able to attack the inner city in one day. In desperation, they withdrew and prepared to fight again tomorrow.

After learning that Jiling's army broke through Cao Cao's defense and went south, sun CE quickly ordered the garrison generals of the cities occupied by himself in the south of Jiujiang. Regardless of the fact that the army had just occupied the cities, each city immediately recruited thousands of troops. In addition to the soldiers who had stayed to defend the cities, the number of garrisons of each city ranged from 8000 to 10000. At the same time, he warned Lu Dai of Fuling to draw people's attention to Jiling The number of troops joining Yuan Yao in Fuling will reach nearly 30000, which will pose a great threat to LV Dai's army. However, sun CE can't let LV Dai withdraw. In case Ji Ling joins Yuan Yao's army and sends troops to Guangling, the newly occupied Guangling may not be protected.

But everyone has forgotten that in the east of Guangling County, there are 10000 soldiers of Chen Lan Department of Yuan Shu army. After Ji Ling broke through the siege, he sent orders to Chen Lan and asked him to lead the 15000 troops of the east town to the north of Fuling to join him. At this time, although Ji Ling already had less than 5000 soldiers, if Chen Lan's 15000 troops were added And Yuan Yao's ten thousand imperial guards and five thousand garrisons in Fuling, and ten thousand imperial guards and five thousand garrisons in Liling in Quanjiao, there are fifty thousand troops.

In this way, it is no longer a big threat to the Lu Dai Department of sun CE army, but a question of how many soldiers and horses can escape. But at this time, neither sun CE nor Lu Dai knew that they would face 50000 troops instead of 30000.

Shouchun's war is going on like a raging fire. Whether it is Yuan Shu or the remaining generals, they all know that they will die, but they all hope to gain more time in Jiling's breakout army and cause a lot of losses to the three attacking armies.

Four days later, the three armies finally invaded Shouchun inner city. The price they paid was that each family lost more than 10000 soldiers, and Yuan Shu also lost a lot. Except for the 10000 soldiers led by Ji Ling to break through the encirclement, the 40000 garrison killed, injured and captured more than 10000 people, and less than 10000 people retreated into the imperial city with Yuan Shu.

At this time, Ji Ling had joined Chen Lan's army and arrived less than a hundred miles northwest of Fuling. After the confluence of the two armies, Ji Ling did not immediately send troops to Fuling to join Yuan Yao. Instead, he reorganized the army again and made a little rest. At the same time, he sent people to Fuling to get in touch with Yuan Yao and prepare to attack Lu Dai army.

Ji Ling knew that no matter where his army went, Lu Dai's 30000 troops must be annihilated, otherwise he would not want to leave safely.

Ji Ling was discussing with Shu Shao and Yan Xiang all the way. By the way, Yang Hong, another military adviser under Yuan Shu, separated from most of the troops when they broke through Cao Xiujun's block. It's not clear whether he intended to leave or was really separated in the chaos, whether he was alive or dead.If the army can break through Cao Cao's and Huangfu's Chaobo's territory northward, it is the most ideal to enter Yuan Shao's territory smoothly. After all, they are the blood relatives of the same clan. But all the way, they used to march in the hinterland of the two families. Ji Ling thought that he did not have the ability to lead tens of thousands of troops for hundreds of thousands of miles to Jizhou safely So the North breakout was a breakout.

In fact, in history, Yuan Shu tried to go north to Jizhou, but failed several times.

There is also going to the East. To the East is Guangling. Now it has been occupied by sun Qijun, and there is no danger of Guangling connecting with Cao Cao's territory in the north. Even if Guangling was taken as the territory later, it was just a matter of survival. So the three people also denied this plan.

To go south, you have to cross the river, which is basically impossible with the strength of Yuan's army.

Then there's only one road left. Go west. I believe many people are familiar with several names - Dabie Mountain and Tiantangzhai. Yes, Ji Ling people chose the Dabie Mountains in the west of Lujiang River. Although the mountains are high and the forests are dense, it is the only way for yuan Shujun to survive.
