After eliminating He Taohan, Li Zhao did not stop and continued to chase and kill Zhang Yanxia.

Along the way, many Qi armies were defeated or captured one after another.

Some of the people under his command couldn't run, so he suggested that Li Zhao stop and rest.

Li Zhao angrily reprimanded: "It is advisable to chase after the poor with the remaining bravery, not ..........." I

guess they don't understand the next sentence, that's what it means anyway, if they don't kill Zhang Yanxia, they won't give up.

The Zhaowu army chased for two more days and two nights, almost driving the Qi army crazy.

Many Qi soldiers were so tired that they didn't want to move, so they threw their swords aside and lay straight on the ground.

After Li Zhao caught up, he saw that they chose to "lie flat", and he did not embarrass them.

Leaving Chen Lu to settle the surrendered troops, Li Zhao continued to lead people to hunt down Zhang Yanxia.

When climbing the mountain, 3,000 Qi troops occupied a high place and stopped the Zhaowu army. Li Zhao saw that he was unwilling to surrender, and immediately waved his troops to kill.

I never thought that these 3,000 Qi troops were relatively tenacious, even if their strength was far inferior to that of the Zhaowu army, they still fought to the death.

Li Zhao immediately understood that this was the most elite soldier and horse by Zhang Yanxia's side, and it was also the last force.

It took half an hour for the Zhaowu army to kill them all.

It made Li Zhao feel very regretful that due to the desperate obstruction of the Qi army, the distance between him and Zhang Yanxia was widened a lot, and he finally let him escape.

According to statistics after the war, the number of Qi troops killed and wounded and captured was close to 80,000, and some people fled into the deep mountains and old forests.

After this battle, Li Zhao concluded that the Qi army would no longer remain in Hanzhong, and even for a long time to come, it would be impossible for the Qi army to attack Shu or Hanzhong again.

In the three major battles with the Zhaowu army, the Qi army lost more than 200,000 troops before and after, and spent countless amounts of grain and grass.

Since then, between Qin and Qi, offense and defense have been exchanged.

Stay in Bazhou for a few days to deal with post-war matters.

On September 20, Li Zhao led his troops back to Chengdu.

Chengdu officials and generals went out of the city to greet them.

When Zhang Yanxia attacked, many people persuaded Li Zhao that there was no need to go out in person, and that he could choose a good general. But now is a critical node, and it shows the strength of the Zhaowu Army, Li Zhao still led the troops.

After the last Zhaowu army parade, as well as this defeat of the Qi army. All the Shu people understood that it was impossible for the Qi State to recover the Shu land.

Even if Shu Di Haoqiang was still dissatisfied with Li Zhao in private, he could only be forced to accept the reality.

Not long after Li Zhao returned to Chengdu, he could clearly feel that the attitude of the military generals was much more respectful than before.

Some people even wrote a book, proposing that Li Zhao ascend the throne as emperor, establish the Great Qin Empire, and take Chengdu as the imperial capital.

Li Zhao smiled and was noncommittal. If you don't take Jinling or Chang'an, you will never be the emperor, Li Zhao's attitude has never changed.

The ancients said: Shu is difficult, and it is difficult to go to the sky. Due to geographical reasons, outsiders can't get in, and people inside can't get out, which leads to the Shu people having a lot of peace.

Although Chengdu is good, it can only be temporarily stayed, not for a long time. History has proved countless times that as long as the Central Plains are unified, it is only a matter of time before Shu is conquered.

A large amount of grain, grass, and ordnance were transported to Qutang Pass at an accelerated pace, where Shen Ning was making the final preparations before the expedition.

...............................................................................................................

After Zhang Yanxia got rid of the pursuers, he knelt on the ground and cried.

In this battle, the defeat was too bad, and there were only a few thousand soldiers left around him, and many generals were killed in the battle.

I regret in my heart, I shouldn't have rejected He Taohan's suggestion to attack Qutang Pass, but unfortunately there is no regret medicine in this world.

The news of the defeat had not yet reached Jinling, and he could already imagine that the government and the opposition would be shocked, and coupled with the matter of the crown prince, His Majesty would definitely not protect him again.

Zhang Yanxia didn't dare to think about it anymore, and hurried to Hanzhong, where there were still nearly 40,000 Qi troops, and they must be taken out of Hanzhong as soon as possible.

All the way, I didn't even drink saliva, and rushed to the outside of Nanzheng City. Seeing that the lineup of the Qi army outside the city was complete and had not yet been attacked by the Zhaowu army, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Seeing that Zhang Yanxia was disheveled, with some blood and dust on his face, Qi General Peng Shuang's face was surprised, and he was about to ask what had happened?

Zhang Yanxia said urgently: "Withdraw the troops immediately, without a moment's delay, take a boat from Hanshui and leave Hanzhong."

Peng Shuang was taken aback, immediately thought of something, and his heart sank, and he hurriedly walked out of the tent and organized the evacuation of his subordinates.

After a while, the Qi army was assembled and marched towards the Han River.

"There are still thousands of soldiers in Liucheng and Heihuling, do you want to wait for them to go together. On the way, Peng Shuang asked.

"It's too late!" Zhang Yanxia's face was extremely solemn, "I have sent someone to inform them, and I will also leave them a boat, I hope I can catch up." Even

if he had guessed what was happening, Peng Shuang still had a trace of illusion in his heart, "The last general dared to ask if this attack on Shu was unfavorable. General He, General Wang, whether they ............

Zhang Yanxia looked sad, silent, and nodded slightly.

Peng Shuang's heart shook violently, it was an army of 100,000, and it was defeated so badly!

Half an hour after Zhang Yanxia evacuated, Liu Haoyan led 10,000 Zhaowu troops out of Jianmen Pass and rushed to Nanzheng in a hurry.

Wang Yankai was overjoyed to learn of Li Zhao's victory over the Qi army, cleaned up the debris in the city gate, and then led his troops out of the city to pursue the Qi army with Liu Haoyan.

In order to keep all the Qi troops in Hanzhong, the Zhaowu army ran wildly all the way.

Soon, the Qi army scouts found that the Zhaowu army appeared in the rear and reported it to Zhang Yanxia.

After Zhang Yanxia left 7,000 soldiers in the palace, the others accelerated their evacuation.

The Qi army in Hanzhong did not know about Zhang Yanxia's defeat, and their morale did not decline.

When Liu Haoyan and Wang Yankai led their troops to kill, they could not break through the defense line of the Qi army for a while, and after some fighting, they were finally defeated.

But Zhang Yanxia and Peng Shuang have gone far away, and it is difficult to catch up again, and the two secretly said that it is a pity.

Because there were other Qi troops in Hanzhong, Liu Haoyan led his troops to kill Heihuling, and Wang Yankai killed Liucheng.

The remaining Qi army in Hanzhong was already at a disadvantage, and Zhang Yanxia had already evacuated Hanzhong first, and seeing that the situation was irreversible, they surrendered to the Zhaowu army one after another.

At this point, the Zhaowu army completely recovered Hanzhong.

Zhang Yanxia's nightmare is not over, Qi Jingyun has been guarding both sides of the Han River.

When the Qi ships passed, a large number of arrows and oil canisters attacked the Qi army.

In order to leave Hanzhong as soon as possible, Zhang Yanxia did not land to expel the Zhaowu army, but only let the crossbowmen counterattack.

Seeing that the Qi army did not land on the shore, Qi Jingyun retreated out of the range of the Qi army's bows and arrows, used dozens of large bed crossbows, sprinkled fire oil on the arrows, and shot towards the Qi army quickly.

When Zhang Yanxia left Hanshui, the Qi army had lost a quarter of its ships and nearly a thousand soldiers.

After the fleet arrived at Yiling, the Qi army was completely out of danger.

Zhang Yanxia did not return to Jinling, and temporarily stationed soldiers and horses in the area of Yiling and Wuling.

Then he sent people to expedite 800 li to send the battle situation of the Qi army to Jinling.
