forge The sound of a golden gong sounded in the battlefield.
Liu Jun's officers and soldiers also began to retreat quickly.
Jian Yong and Sun Qian led people to escort Liu Bei and evacuated first.
However, Xu Shu stayed behind and commanded the retreat of the army.
After all, a chaotic retreat would make it difficult to escape the pursuit of Cao's army, and in the end it would cause great losses.
The two sides are at war.
Because of the retreat of Liu Jun's soldiers, the pressure on Cao Jun's soldiers was also greatly reduced.
Then they rushed forward to break through the siege of hundreds of riders, and protected Cao Ren, Le Jin, and Yu Jin, who were exhausted and holding on only with their will.
Moreover, Cao Ren, Le Jin, and Yu Jin are now in a very embarrassed state, with disheveled hair, and their armors are in tatters, covered in blood, both their own and that of the enemy. soon Liu Jun also all retreated.
Xia Houyuan did not lead anyone to pursue him.
He also discovered the situation of Cao Ren and the other three people, but at that time, Cao Ren and the other three people had already passed out.
Moreover, the officers and soldiers of Cao's army who came to attack were also in a state of being outnumbered.
There were less than 10,000 soldiers left from 50,000 soldiers, and all of them were injured.
It might have been possible if he hadn't led his army to come first.
He took a look at his surroundings.
Xia Houyuan didn't say anything more, and asked the soldiers to start cleaning the battlefield.
Now it has come to an end. from time to time Cao Cao and others also arrived with the remaining soldiers and horses.
He also had no intention of leading his army to pursue Liu Bei.
Now Gongsun Zan has fled from the rebellious army, Yuan Shao has also led his army to withdraw towards Jizhou, Liu Bei has also retreated in defeat, and the tripartite alliance no longer exists.
Then there will be no surprises in the expedition to Youzhou.
All that remains is to remove Gongsun Zan and drive Liu Bei out of Youzhou.
Cao Cao also asked the army to start cleaning the battlefield and put out the fires in the three camps.
As for Cao Ren, Le Jin, and Yu Jin, they are also undergoing treatment.
This battle.
Although they took the opportunity to break the tripartite alliance of Yuan Shao, Liu Bei, and Gongsun Zan, this was because Yuan Shao, Liu Bei, and Gongsun Zan were not of the same mind.
Even so.
He also paid a heavy price.
In this battle, more than 60,000 soldiers were killed or injured, and less than 150,000 soldiers were able to fight.
Moreover, Cao Ren, Le Jin, and Yu Jin were not allowed to enter the battlefield, at least for a period of time.
Victory can be considered a tragic victory.
After Cao Jun finished cleaning the battlefield and put out the fire.
The sky in the east is gradually getting brighter, and a new day has arrived.
Countless officers and soldiers of Cao's army, all looking dusty, with patches of black on their faces, were casually sitting on the ground and resting here and there.
Moreover, the fire that was extinguished still had traces of white smoke rising.
After a night of fighting, cleaning the battlefield, and putting out fires, Cao Jun's soldiers were also very tired.
The other side.
After Liu Bei retreated, he led his troops towards Fan Yang.
It did not withdraw to Qingzhou.
After all, he was very unwilling to go back in despair, and Gongsun Zan was dead and Yuan Shao withdrew to Jizhou, so Cao Cao could not only occupy Youzhou.
No man's land.
He can also take it away.
Therefore, I wanted to rush to Fan Yang, capture Fan Yang first, occupy the city and resist Cao's army.
However.
On the way to Fan Yang, they encountered a remnant army from Youzhou, and it was Gongsun Zan who made the decision.
It turned out that when Gongsun Zan saw that the situation was over, he also fled with the defeated army.

Halfway through, he also gathered the remaining defeated soldiers and wanted to regroup.
But after learning that Yuan Shao was defeated.
There was no thought of rejoining the battlefield, but the defeated generals were withdrawn with the assembled remnants.
But he didn't expect to meet Liu Bei who had withdrawn from the battlefield here.
But Liu Bei and others saw that Gongsun Zan was not dead.
He also understood that it was true that the Youzhou camp was breached, but Gongsun Zan did not die in the battle, but took advantage of the chaos and escaped.
Cao Jun shouted loudly about the news of Gongsun Zan's death in battle, just to dampen their morale and disturb their minds.
After talking.
Liu Bei and others also learned why Gongsun Zan was defeated so quickly.
It turned out that Cao Cao personally led most of the Cao army to attack the Youzhou camp, as well as three generals: Zhang Xiu, Li Dian, and Xu Chu.
With similar military strength.
It was a surprise attack again, and the military morale was already unstable.
It is normal for Gongsun Zan to be defeated, and all this was caused by Liu Bei and Yuan Shao both wanting to use each other to weaken Cao Cao's strength and preserve their own strength.
If you don't have such thoughts.
With the troops and horses that Liu Bei and Yuan Shao have, it is not difficult to quickly break through Cao's army who is going to attack the camp and gather together.
In that case, the outcome of the battle will be different.
Pay some price and leave behind It is not impossible for Cao Cao.
It's a pity that there is no if.
The reality is that their three-point alliance was defeated at the hands of Cao Cao.
Now that Yuan Shao has led his troops to retreat to Jizhou, only two of the three coalition forces are left, and Yuan Shao will not lead his troops back to join them to deal with Cao Cao.
That will only be possible unless Jizhou's predicament is lifted.
But by then, the situation in Youzhou would be different. at last.
Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan also joined forces and rushed towards Fan Yang.
After all, Cao Cao had now escaped the siege, and their troops were not dominant at this time.
What's left is a head-on confrontation, each using their own methods.
Gongsun Zan was also very happy when he saw that Liu Bei did not leave directly with his army, but stayed in Youzhou to fight with him against Cao Cao.
I feel that supporting Liu Bei when he was weak was not wrong.
But no one noticed the twinkling eyes of Liu Bei, Jian Yong, Sun Qian and others.
You must know that the reason why they withdrew their troops to Fan Yang was because they heard the news of Gongsun Zan's death on the battlefield.
Then Youzhou was a land without one, so they marched towards Fan Yang.
Otherwise, how could they foolishly waste their strength for Gongsun Zan.
But he never thought that Gongsun Zan was not dead.
This was also something they miscalculated.
In this way, unlike what they planned, Gongsun Zan was not dead, and they could not occupy the land of Youzhou openly.
What's more, they are still in a cooperative relationship.
Xu Shu on the side just shook his head slightly and sighed secretly in his heart, but did not join in.
Both sides also had their own thoughts and silently led the army to march towards Fan Yang.
But the battle situation in Youzhou.
It also changed because of the battle last night.
Although Yuan Shao has withdrawn his troops, the alliance between Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan is not inferior to Cao Cao's.
The final outcome is still unknown.
What's more, Liu Bei didn't have any good intentions. but.
It is not impossible that the situation in Youzhou will reach a stalemate later
