After working hard for so long, it is time to reap the fruits. Naturally, Pang Nuan and the others will not let go of Sun Jian's army.
Lian Lian led his troops in pursuit from day to midnight, and finally brought today's battle to a temporary end.
In today's battle, although Pang Nuan and others suffered heavy losses in the early stage, after the battle, the number of remaining soldiers was less than 10,000, and everyone alive was injured.
But compared to their results, these are nothing. Sun Jian originally had 40,000 troops, but in today's battle, they killed 18,000, and the remaining 15,000 were captured by them.
Excluding those who fled in all directions, less than 3,000 people escaped with Lu Su and others. Even if Lu Su could gather some more defeated troops later, the final number would never exceed 5,000.
Moreover, because many of their generals had hidden their strength during previous battles, today many enemy generals were caught off guard and died in battle.
Counting the earliest Han Dang, Zu Mao, and later Zhao Zhang, Peng Zan, Ling Cao, Tang Jian and other generals, nearly ten enemy generals died in the battle. After this battle, Sun's vitality can be said to be severely damaged.
…
"Father..." A sad and angry voice came out from the big tent, but then it seemed as if it was forced back.
Suddenly hearing the news of his father Sun Jian's death, Sun Ce, who was extremely grieved in his heart, was forced to cover his mouth by his friend Zhou Yu before he could speak out in pain.
Huang Gai was able to kick out all the idle people in the big tent before, leaving only a few important people, just to prevent the news from being exposed. No matter how sad Sun Ce was in his heart, he couldn't let him yell out like this.
Already.
"Young Master, please show me your condolences!" Inside the tent, Huang Gai, a bearded man, was full of energy, with a hint of mightiness exuding between his brows, but at this moment he was holding his head in pain.
After Sun Jian died in the battle, it was Huang Gai who insisted on rushing to Sun Wu's camp in Chen County to explain the situation to Sun Ce and Sun Wu in person, regardless of his own injuries. At the same time, he also wanted to ask Sun Ce to step forward and organize the overall situation immediately.
"Old General Huang, I don't know why my lord died!" As the commander of the army, Sun Wu suppressed the grief in his heart and asked Huang Gai.
Sun Wu really couldn't understand. Sun Jian commanded an army of 40,000, Lu Zijing was resourceful, and the generals were also brave and good at fighting. Facing Pang Nuan, who only had 20,000 troops, logically speaking, there shouldn't be any big problems.
How could such a change happen?
"Well, that day..." Since Sun Wu had already asked, Huang Gai, although he didn't want to recall what happened that day, had no choice but to continue telling the story in detail.
Among the Sun family, except for the lord Sun Jian who died in battle, Sun Wu is the second most powerful person. With Sun Wu's prestige, even the current little overlord Sun Ce is far inferior to him.
Fortunately, Sun Wu has always been obsessed with studying the art of war and has never paid much attention to power. Otherwise, with Sun Jian dead, if Sun Wu intends to fight for it, then the position of the leader of the Sun family will probably not be his turn.
Sun Ce's.
Moreover, even if Sun Wu does not fight, Sun Ce will definitely be unable to do without Sun Wu's support if he wants to secure his position as the leader of the Sun family.
"Uncle, we will launch an army immediately to avenge our father!" After listening to Huang Gai's story, the grieving Sun Ce could no longer suppress the murderous intention in his heart, and said angrily, "If we don't kill Lishui with our own hands, Pang Nuan will be in great danger."
If you do not dominate the three of them, my grandson Boce will not be the son of a human being."
Hearing this, Sun Wu and Zhou Yu felt helpless. Although they understood Sun Ce's mood at this time, given their current situation, it was really not suitable to fight again at this time.
They could only hide the news of Sun Jian's death in battle for a while, but not for the rest of their lives. By then, the morale of the military would definitely be in turmoil, and even some demons and ghosts in the force would have bad ideas and want to find another way out for themselves.
.
In fact, just as Sun Wu and Zhou Yu thought, when the news about Sun Jian spread, some people finally couldn't sit still.
Under such circumstances, insisting on a fight would be tantamount to seeking death and would only wipe out their last vestige of hope. The top priority should be for the young master Sun Bofu to take over immediately and calm people's hearts.
However, seeing Sun Ce's appearance now, Sun Wu and Zhou Yu didn't know how to persuade him for a while.
Not to mention how sad Sun Ce was when he learned the news of Sun Jian's death, some people were very sad, and some were overjoyed. Yuan Shu sighed greatly after receiving the news of Pang Nuan in Runan. With Sun Wentai's death, one of his major problems had been eliminated!
In happiness, Yuan Shu directly promoted Pang Nuan's position to the right cavalry general. Although his brother Pang Juan lost the war, after Pang Nuan sent Sun Jian's head, Yuan Shu also thought of Pang Juan's good fortune.
Not only did Pang Juan not be punished, but the decree was issued to comfort him, saying that Pang Juan was just careless and fell into the enemy's trick. Pang Juan would need to continue to work hard, and promoted Pang Juan from Zuoqi General to Hussar General, and the army was defeated.
The reprimanded Pang Juan was so moved that he was completely confused.
At the same time, the rewards for Li Shui and Wang Mang were also not small, and they were directly promoted to the position of the Three Dukes. It is not surprising that Li Shui, one of the masterminds of this matter, received such treatment, and Wang Mang also received such treatment, naturally relying on the giant
No more domination.
Ju Wuba is nominally Wang Mang's subordinate, so Wang Mang will naturally take a large part of Ju Wuba's achievements. Moreover, generals recommended by Wang Mang such as Liang Lin and Liang Fang also made many achievements in this battle.
A lot of points were added to Wang Mang.
Sun Jian's death not only affected the battle situation, but also Liu Yu, who was conquering southern Henan, was also greatly affected.
Once Sun Jian dies, the Sun family will have little hope in the future. Next, I am afraid they can only rely on their forces in northern Jing to attack Yuan Shu.
Under normal circumstances, even if they were the only force left, Liu Yu would not dare to fight. But at this time in Jiangxia, Liu Xiuke was still fighting against the Xiang clan who occupied Jingnan and Jiaozhou.
If they continue to fight Yuan Shu at this time, it will be equivalent to fighting against two princes with their own strength. One against two, not to mention, they have no obvious advantage against either side alone.
That's a little unwise.
However, they are different from other princes. They are clan members of the Han Dynasty. Now, Yuan Shu has proclaimed himself emperor. If they cannot quickly deal with Yuan Shu, but let Yuan Shu, the pseudo-emperor, go unpunished, then the Han Dynasty will lose in the end.
The family prestige was most affected by the clan members of the Han clan.
If Yuan Shu, the false emperor, was really allowed to live for a few more years, even just three to five years, then the remaining dignity of the Han Dynasty would have been lost.
At this time, Liu Yu was withdrawing his troops, but it would also be wrong if he did not withdraw his troops.
