After working hard for so long, it was time to reap the fruits. Naturally, Pang Nuan and the others would not let go of Sun Jian's army.
Lian Lian led his troops in pursuit from day to midnight before finally bringing today's battle to a temporary end.
In today's battle, although Pang Nuan and the 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 an army of 40,000, 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 three thousand people with Lu Su and others actually escaped. Even if Lu Su could gather some more defeated troops later, the final number would definitely not 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 and Zu Mao, as well as the later generals such as Zhao Zhang, Peng Zan, Ling Tong, and Tang Jian, nearly ten enemy generals died in the battle. After this battle, Sun's vitality could be said to be severely damaged.
…
"Father..." A sad and angry voice came 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 forcibly covered by Zhou Yu, who was sitting next to him, before he could speak out in pain.
Huang Gai was able to blast out all the idle people in the big tent before, leaving only a few important people behind, 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.
"Young Master, please forgive me!" Inside the big tent, Huang Gai, a bearded man, was full of energy, with a trace of mightiness exuding between his eyebrows, but he was holding his head in pain at this time.
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 stand up 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 had died in the battlefield, Sun Wu was the second most important figure. 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 leader of the Sun family will probably not be Sun Ce's turn.
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 grief-stricken Sun Ce could no longer suppress the murderous intention in his heart and said angrily, "If we don't kill Lishui, Pang Nuan, Ju If you don't dominate the three of them, my grandson Boce is not worthy of being 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, based on their current situation, it was really not suitable to fight anymore at this time.
They could only hide the news of Sun Jian's death in battle for a while, but not forever. At that time, the morale of the military will definitely be in turmoil, and even some ghosts and ghosts among the forces will 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 fighting would be tantamount to seeking death and would only wipe out their last vestige of life. The top priority should be for the young master Sun Boce 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.
Not to mention how sad Sun Ce was when he learned the news of Sun Jian's death, some people were very impressed, while others couldn't help but be happy. After receiving the news from Pang Nuan in Runan, Yuan Shu sighed greatly. Sun Wentai's death had eliminated one of his major problems!
Happy, 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 Zuoqiqi general to Hussar general, and defeated the army. Pang Juan was so moved that he was so moved.
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 Three Dukes. It is not surprising that Li Shui, one of the masterminds of this matter, was treated like this, and Wang Mang was naturally treated like this because he relied on Ju Guuba.
Ju Wuba was nominally Wang Mang's subordinate, so Wang Mang would naturally take a large part of Ju Wuba's achievements. Moreover, the generals recommended by Wang Mang, such as Liang Lin and Liang Fang, also performed a lot in this battle and gave Wang Mang a lot of points.
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'm 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 say that he would not dare to fight. But at this time in Jiangxia, Liu Xiuke was still fighting with the Xiang family who occupied Jingnan and Jiaozhou.
If they continue to fight Yuan Shu at this time, it will be equivalent to fighting two major princes with their own strength. One against two, not to mention that they have no obvious advantage against either side alone, so it would be unwise to fight like this.
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 the pseudo-emperor Yuan Shu go unpunished, then the final loss will be the prestige of the Han Dynasty, and the ones who will be most affected will be their Han clan clan members.
If Yuan Shu, the false emperor, is really allowed to live for a few more years, even just three to five years, then the remaining dignity of the Han Dynasty will be lost.
At this time, Liu Yu was withdrawing his troops, but it would also be wrong if he did not withdraw his troops.
