Chapter 419 The Battle of Youzhou (End)

forging~~
The sound of a golden gong resounded across the battlefield.

General Liu Jun also began to retreat quickly.

Jian Yong and Sun Gan led people to escort Liu Bei to evacuate first.

But Xu Shu stayed behind and directed the army to retreat. After all, retreating in chaos, it would be difficult to get rid of Cao Jun's pursuit, and in the end it would cause great losses.

Both sides at war.

Because of the retreat of Liu Jun's soldiers, the pressure on Cao Jun's soldiers has also been greatly reduced.

Immediately, they rushed up to break through the encirclement of hundreds of riders, and protected Cao Ren, Le Jin, and Yu Jin who were exhausted and persisted only with a will.

Moreover, Cao Ren, Le Jin, and Yu Jin are also very embarrassed now, with disheveled hair, tattered battle armor, and blood all over their bodies. There are both their own and the enemy's.

soon
Liu Jun also all retreated.

Xia Houyuan did not lead anyone to pursue him either.

He also discovered the situation of Cao Ren and the other three, but at that time Cao Ren and the other three had already passed out.

Moreover, Cao Jun's soldiers who came to attack were also out of ten. There were less than [-] soldiers left among the [-] soldiers, and all of them were wounded.

If he hadn't led the army to come first, maybe...

Glanced at the surrounding situation.

Xia Houyuan didn't say much, and let the soldiers start to clean the battlefield, and now the curtain has come to an end.

From time to time
Cao Cao and others also led the remaining soldiers and horses to arrive.

Nor did he have the intention to lead his army to pursue Liu Bei.

Now Gongsun Zan fled in the chaos, Yuan Shao also led his army back to Jizhou, Liu Bei also retreated in defeat, and the tripartite alliance ceased to exist.

Then there will be no accidents in the conquest of Youzhou. All that is left is to get rid of Gongsun Zan and drive Liu Bei out of Youzhou.

Cao Cao also let the army start to clean the battlefield, and put out the fire of the three camps.

As for Cao Ren, Le Jin, and Yu Jin, they are also undergoing treatment.

this battle.

Although the tripartite alliance of Yuan Shao, Liu Bei, and Gongsun Zan was broken by taking the opportunity, it was also because Yuan Shao, Liu Bei, and Gongsun Zan were not of one mind.

Even so.

He also paid a high price.

In this battle, more than 15 soldiers were killed or injured, and less than [-] soldiers were able to fight. Moreover, Cao Ren, Le Jin, and Yu Jin were unable to enter the battlefield at least for a period of time.

Winning is also a miserable victory.

After Cao Jun finished cleaning the battlefield and extinguished the fire.

The sky in the east is also gradually brightening up, and a new day is coming.

Countless soldiers of the Cao army all looked dusty, their faces were also black, and they sat and rested on the ground casually.

Moreover, the extinguished fire still had wisps of white smoke rising.

After a night of fighting, plus cleaning the battlefield and putting out the fire, Cao Jun's soldiers were also very tired.

the other side.

After Liu Bei retreated, he led his soldiers and horses to Fan Yang.

Did not withdraw to Qingzhou.

After all, he was very unwilling to go back in such a despondent manner, and Gongsun Zan was dead, Yuan Shao withdrew to Jizhou, so Youzhou was not only for Cao Cao to occupy.

Borderlands.

He is also able to seize is not.

Therefore, I also wanted to rush to Fanyang, take down Fanyang first, and occupy the city to resist Cao's army.

however.

On the way to Fan Yang, they encountered a remnant soldier from Youzhou, and it was Gongsun Zan who made the decision.

It turned out that Gongsun Zan also fled with the defeated army when he saw that the general situation was over. Halfway, he also gathered the remnants of the defeated army and wanted to regroup.

But after learning that Yuan Shao was defeated.

There was no intention of rejoining the battlefield, but with the assembled remnants of the defeated generals, they withdrew.

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 had been breached, but Gongsun Zan did not die in battle, but fled while taking advantage of the chaos.

Cao Jun drank 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's soldiers to attack the Youzhou camp, and there were also three generals, Zhang Xiu, Li Dian, and Xu Chu.

With similar strength.

It was another surprise attack, and the morale of the army was already unstable.

It was normal for Gongsun Zan to be defeated, and it was all because Liu Bei and Yuan Shao wanted to use each other to weaken Cao Cao's strength and preserve their own strength.

If you don't have that thought.

With the soldiers and horses owned by Liu Bei and Yuan Shao, it is not difficult for Cao Jun who wants to break through quickly to attack the camp. It is not difficult to get together. Then the outcome of the war will be different. Pay some price and stay Cao Cao is not impossible.

It's a pity that there is nothing if.

The reality is that their three-point joint defeat was in the hands of Cao Cao.

Now that Yuan Shao has led his troops back to Jizhou, only the two of them are left in the three-party coalition, and Yuan Shao will not lead his troops back to join forces with them against Cao Cao.

That will only be possible unless the Jizhou predicament is lifted.

But by then, the situation in Youzhou will 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 forces were not superior at this time.

The rest is to confront each other head-on and use their own methods.

Gongsun Zan was also very happy to see that Liu Bei did not lead his army to leave directly, but stayed in Youzhou to fight Cao Cao with him.

I feel that when Liu Bei was weak, there was nothing wrong with supporting Liu Bei.

But they did not notice the twinkling eyes of Liu Bei, Jian Yong, Sun Qian and others.

You must know that the reason why they withdrew to Fan Yang was because they heard the news of Gongsun Zan's death on the battlefield, so Youzhou was a land of no man, so they marched towards Fan Yang.

Otherwise, how could they foolishly waste their strength for Gongsun Zan.

But it never occurred to him 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 now.

Xu Shu on the side just shook his head slightly, sighed secretly, and didn't join in.

The two sides also had their own thoughts, silently leading the army and marching towards Fan Yang.

But the battle situation in Youzhou.

It also changed because of last night's battle.

Although Yuan Shao has already withdrawn his army, the alliance between Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan is not in vain for Cao Cao. It is still unknown what the final outcome will be.

What's more, Liu Bei didn't have any kind intentions.

but.

It is not impossible for the situation in Youzhou to become stalemate afterwards.
