But as the saying goes, there is no need to worry about leaving green hills without firewood. As long as he is safe and sound, Gongsun Zan believes that he still has a chance to turn over. After all, a large area of land in Youzhou is in his hands. He just needs to be patient and wait until he has the strength to do it again.
It is enough for the soldiers to avenge themselves if they die in this battle.
But whether he could make a comeback, Gongsun Zan had some doubts in his heart. His losses in this battle were quite huge. The elite cavalry he had trained for so long were crippled by Yuan Jun. If he wanted to train so many cavalry, he would not be able to do so.
Know how long it will take.
Not to mention anything else, he didn't know when he would be able to gather nearly 10,000 troops and horses, let alone how to train them. Training elite cavalry was much more difficult than infantry, and he only had nearly 10,000 cavalry in so many years.
But no matter what, Gongsun Zan will never choose to give up. After all, he has not yet run out of ammunition and food. As long as he works hard, he still has hope. There are battles in which the weak defeat the strong. Gongsun Zan does not think that he can't do it.
Such a thing.
After a great victory over Gongsun Zan, Yuan Shao was naturally in a very good mood. Yuan Shao would never let go of Gongsun Zan easily. He pursued closely behind him, with the goal of completely annihilating Gongsun Zan.
Youzhou doesn't have anyone that can win. As long as Gongsun Zan is killed, Youzhou can be conquered without attacking. Once you capture Youzhou, all the land in Hebei will be under your control.
If you capture Youzhou, you will have the land of four states. There are nine states in the world, and you can block the four states. At that time, you will be the largest prince in the world. Sitting on the land of the four states, with millions of soldiers under your command, when the time comes,
Who else in the world is my opponent?
I thought that after Cao Jun captured Gongsun Zan's base camp, he would send troops to encircle Gongsun Zan with him. But who could have imagined that in the face of Gongsun Zan's defeat, Cao Jun had no intention of encircling Gongsun Zan with Yuan's army.
Yuan Shao was naturally extremely satisfied with this. However, Zhao Fei was not his counselor, and the reason why he was able to defeat Gongsun Zan and eliminate Gongsun Zan's cavalry in this battle was all thanks to Zhao Fei's help.
If you go to find trouble for Zhao Fei at this time, it would be equivalent to crossing the river and burning the bridge, killing the donkey. If you don't want to recruit Zhao Fei, you can do it. But after this battle, Yuan Shao became more and more interested in Zhao Fei.
.
He had fought with Gongsun Zan for a long time, and it was fitting that he had fought such a hearty battle. If it weren't for Zhao Fei, he would have been in danger in this battle. Therefore, Zhao Fei can be regarded as his benefactor. If such a talent cannot be accepted by his subordinates,
, that would definitely be a huge loss.
After taking Youzhou, he will become the largest prince in the world. Only such a status is suitable for a talent like Zhao Fei. If he has Zhao Fei's help, he will definitely be able to unify the world, and when the time comes to reach the top of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, then
It's not something impossible.
The world is in chaos, and Kyushu is in turmoil. Now that the imperial power has declined, if anyone can unify the world, then he has the possibility of being crowned the supreme leader. When he thinks of the position of the Nine Five, Yuan Shao's heart becomes extremely hot.
However, what made Yuan Shao feel helpless was that he tried his best, but still could not catch up with Gongsun Zan's defeated army. In the end, Yuan Shao could only watch helplessly as Gongsun Zan's defeated army ran further and further away.
Although he did not kill Gongsun Zan, Yuan Shao was still in a good mood. After all, he was the one who won this battle. It was indeed a pity that he could not kill Gongsun Zan, but he destroyed most of Gongsun Zan's power in this battle.
Gongsun Zan without cavalry is like a tiger without teeth and claws. Gongsun Zan's infantry is nothing to be afraid of. With its own strength, destroying Gongsun Zan's footsteps is as easy as picking out a bag.
Since he did not catch Gongsun Zan's defeated army, Yuan Shao could only order his troops to lead the army back to the camp. After this battle, although he had eliminated most of Gongsun Zan's strength, his losses were not small.
As the saying goes, one thousand wounds to the enemy results in eight hundred losses. Gongsun Zan's elite cavalry is not easy to deal with. Even though Yuan Jun has the battle formations taught by Zhao Fei, the formations are dead after all, and talents are the foundation that can dominate the war.
Gongsun Zan's cavalry were the elite of the battle formation. Although their impact and excitement were restrained, they were still very powerful. Therefore, Yuan Shao's losses were definitely not small in taking down Gongsun Zan's cavalry.
After leading his troops back to the Jieqiao camp, Yuan Shao began to feast his officials. Although the battle was difficult, the victory belonged to him. Although Gongsun Zan fled, it wouldn't take long for him to capture Youzhou.
Of course, Zhao Fei's seat was indispensable for the officials at the banquet. After all, Zhao Fei's role was absolutely crucial for Yuan Jun to defeat Gongsun Zan. If it weren't for Zhao Fei, I might not be the opponent of the coalition forces of Gongsun Zan and Zhang Yan.
"The victory in this battle is all due to Peng Ju's good strategy. If it weren't for Peng Ju, I, Yuan, might have failed in this battle." Yuan Shao said with a satisfied smile on his face, holding up his wine glass.
Zhao Fei smiled at this, and then said: "What I said at first was wrong. The reason why this battle can be won is all thanks to the bravery of the soldiers under my command to kill the enemy. If it were not for the bravery of the soldiers under my command, even if I have good strategies, what would be the point?
use."
Zhao Fei's words shocked everyone, especially Tian Feng Jushou and others, who had a slightly shocked expression. At this time, everyone knew why Zhao Fei was so loved by others. His ability to win every battle was not all due to
Cunning.
For such a commander-in-chief, the soldiers will definitely follow him to the death. Zhao Fei will give all the credit to the soldiers, but he has no intention of fame and fortune. If this cannot win the trust of the soldiers, then no one in the world can
A convincing commander.
The purpose of being a soldier is, of course, to be able to stand out and gain fame. If a soldier wants to stand out, he must have numerous military exploits. Only in this way can he grow up step by step from a soldier to a commander.
Military exploits are indispensable to every soldier and commander. However, Zhao Fei regards military exploits as nothing, and is very generous in rewarding his subordinates. This kind of magnanimity is indeed worthy of admiration from others.
"Your Majesty Taiwei is really broad-minded, I am ashamed of myself." After Zhao Fei finished speaking, Tian Feng stood up and said with emotion. Although Tian Feng praised Zhao Fei very much, what Zhao Fei did was worthy of his own learning.
.
"What kind of magnanimity do I have there? In fact, I am very stingy." Looking at Tian Feng, Zhao Fei joked with a smile. Looking at Zhao Fei's look, it was obvious that he was also very happy.
Of course, he was not happy because Yuan Shao defeated Gongsun Zan, he was happy because of the gains in Gongsun Zan's camp. Obviously, Zhao Fei took a big advantage in this battle.
He not only confiscated more than 500 military horses from Gongsun Zan, but also a lot of grain and grass that Gongsun Zan's soldiers had not taken away. For Cao's army, which had scarce grain and grass, these grains and grass were particularly important.
Cao Jun's family has a great business and has many soldiers under his command. However, compared with the huge military power, Cao Jun's territory seems to be somewhat beyond his means. Moreover, especially under Zhao Fei's policy of benefiting the people, Cao Jun's food and grass are somewhat beyond his means.
If Cao's army could rest and recuperate for a period of time, Cao's army might be able to hoard a lot of food and grass. But in Yanzhou, the place where the Four Battles were fought, even if Cao's army wanted to recuperate, war would come to his door from time to time.
War is about comprehensive strength, but that is when there is sufficient food and grass. Without food and grass, everything is out of the question. Even if the soldiers are convinced of themselves, but without food and grass, and their stomachs are full, what strength do they have to fight the enemy?
