Six hundred and three The Wu people did not dare to look north from then on

By the time Zhang Liao's side finally cleaned up most of the resisting Wu troops and rushed to the river, there were only more than 300 Wu troops left before they had time to board boats to cross the river.

The Wei army rushed up to destroy the Wu army, and then raised his bow and crossbow to shoot at the Wu army on the boat that had not yet run far.

Zhang Liao worked very hard, chasing all the way from Hefei to the riverside, chasing and beating all the way, chasing and killing all the way, almost letting the Wu army drain the blood, but he was still not satisfied, because the head of Wu was not killed by him.

This battle is not a complete success.

What he hoped most was to kill Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, so as to repay Guo Peng's trust in him, and he was more eager for a greater victory than anyone else.

It's a pity that it can't be done, Wu's army withdrew to Jiangdong, and without warships, he can't cross the river.

That being said, the battle was won.

The two counties of Lujiang and Jiujiang won two major battles, annihilated the main force of the Wu army, killed many important generals, captured a large number of Jiangdong disciples, and basically wiped out the accumulation of Sun Ce's entrepreneurship in the first war and crippled the Wu State.

Sun Ce's plan in advance was to rob the population of Jiujiang County and Lujiang County, but not only did he not get this part of the population, but even the army he brought was basically lost in Jiangbei, and he lost all his money.

The things that Sun Ce had accumulated since he went to Jiangdong basically no longer existed, and it was probably followed by a surging tide of betrayal.

Now the loss on the political battlefield is very faceless, and then the loss on the military battlefield is lost, the military, political, economic, and technological can not compete with Guo Peng, and Wu was beaten by Wei in all directions.

How can this be competitive?

That's right, the Trinity competes against Guo Wei, what is the result?

That's ugly, isn't it?

This is your Trinity?

This is their trinity.

All three sides sent troops to the north, but they all had their own losses, the smallest loss was actually Liu Zhang, and the biggest was naturally Sun Ce.

Sun Ce not only lost most of his soldiers and horses, but even almost confessed himself to Jiangbei, which cannot but be said to be a great setback.

Zhang Liao became famous in the first battle, defeated Sun Wu's superior forces with inferior forces, killed several generals, annihilated nearly 20,000 Wu troops, and captured about 20,000, the main force of Wu was destroyed, more than 300 warships lost most of them, and the formed naval division almost ceased to exist.

After the war, the losses of the Wei army were not large, only more than 2,000 people were killed in the battle, more than 5,000 people were injured, and none of the main cities, roads and people in Tuntian were lost, which can be said to be a complete victory.

It's just a pity that the Wei army can't chase across the Yangtze River, if he can chase over, Zhang Liao swore that he could chase to Wu County in one go, chase Sun Ce's hometown, and cut off Sun Ce's head and dedicated it to Guo Peng.

Zhang Liao, Xu Huang and others were quickly relieved from the depression of not killing Zhou Yu, and looking at the proud achievements, they were overjoyed, and immediately jointly submitted a letter to Guo Peng, commending their merits to Guo Peng, and asking Guo Peng to reward meritorious soldiers and meritorious deeds to end the battle.

The Wei army's years of meticulous training, war preparation, and the national strength brought about by the construction of the Tuntian area contributed to the Wei army's victory, which is enough to prove the correctness of Guo Peng's policy and military strategy.

After this battle, the Wei State crippled one of the most enterprising and combat-effective forces among the three major forces in the south of the Yangtze River, causing it to lose its vitality and not think about going north again in a short period of time, so as to buy enough time for Guo Peng to rebuild relations and straighten out his internal strategy.

As the general situation becomes clearer, there is nothing left to doubt, and all those with different aspirations must begin to think carefully about whether their choice is right or wrong, whether their ambition is a charge or a funeral march.

In October of the fifth year of Xingping, this is the moment to decide the future.

Compared with the great victory of Wei and the great situation, Wu was particularly miserable.

A Northern Expedition was defeated, not only losing the main force of about 40,000 people, but also many excellent generals.

According to the statistics after the war and the proud proclamation of the Wei army on the north bank of the river, the Sun Wu regime learned a lot of bad news.

In this Northern Expedition, the biggest loss of Sun Wu's regime was the death of Cheng Pu, one of the oldest generals and the general of Wu Guozuo who followed Sun Jian.

Jiang Qin, a young rising star and general of Wu Guozhaowu, was killed in battle.

Sun Jian's nephew, the general of Sun Wu's family, the important commander of the army, and the general of the Empress of Wu, Xu Kun, died in battle.

Sun Ce was very optimistic about the young man, Wu Guo's rebellion against Zhonglang and killed Chen Wu in battle.

saved Sun Quan's life, and Zhou Tai, the general of Wu Fenwu, who was valued by Sun Ce, was killed in battle.

Yuan Xiong, a general of Sun Ce's army and a general of Wu's conquest, was killed in battle.

Sun Ce's general, Wu Guoan's northern general Deng Dang, was killed in battle.

Sun Ben, the general of Sun Wu's relatives and the general of Wu Guozhendong, was captured, would rather die than give in, scolded Guo Peng, and was sent to Guanzhong, where Guo Peng personally ordered to be beheaded for public display.

Of course, not everyone died, and some survived.

In addition to Zhou Yu, Han Dang, the right general of Wu Guo, Huang Gai, the general of Wu Guozhengbei, Dong Xi, the general of Hengye of Wu Guo, and Ling Cao, the thief general of Wu State, all survived, which can be regarded as retaining a group of military command talents for the Sun Wu regime.

Then the 10,000 troops led by Wu Jing, the general of Sun Wu's relatives and the general of Wu Guozhenxi, who pinned down the Wei general Zang Ba on the Guangling side, did not suffer major losses, but only cruised on the river and did not launch an active attack, so it was not subject to attrition, and the complete return was a blessing in misfortune.

The 60,000 troops of the Northern Expedition, as well as a large number of auxiliary soldiers and civilians responsible for the transportation of baggage, totaled more than 100,000, but only 40,000 of them managed to escape back to Jiangdong alive one after another, and more than three-fifths of the Jiangdong children fell in Jiangbei and could never come back.

A large number of generals were also killed in battle, or were killed after being captured and refused to surrender, and none of them survived.

Before the expedition, they were still so vigorous, so combative, so powerful, so proud, and made the Sun Wu regime feel that they had the strength to challenge the Guo Wei regime, so they went.

Now, everything is clear.

They were both resentful and terrified to learn that they were no match for the Wei army at all, and they had no strength to challenge in the face of such a behemoth.

Since the establishment of the Sun-Wu regime...... No, since Sun Ce came to Jiangdong, he has not suffered such a painful blow.

lost the main army, lost a large number of outstanding generals, lost a lot of baggage, and lost almost all of Sun Ce's savings since he started his business.

After the First World War, the mobilization ability of the Sun and Wu regimes was basically destroyed, the ability to forge ahead was lost, and the people's morale was weakened.

And got nothing.

The two counties of Lujiang and Jiujiang were still firmly in the hands of the Wei army, and the 500,000 people coveted by Sun Ce were still under the control of the Wei army, producing food for the Wei army.

The Wu people looked north and were afraid, and they did not dare to look north from then on.

In their hearts, they developed a fear of the Wei army, believing that the Wei army was an invincible and powerful enemy, and it was not something they could fight against.

Because there were too many Jiangdong children who died in the war and were captured, for a time, almost every household in Wu County and Danyang County, the two large counties with the most troops, cried, and some people felt desperate because they lost their relatives.

Every family held a funeral, every household cried and wailed, and the scene was extremely bleak.

The officials, surviving soldiers and officers of the Sun-Wu regime were shocked all night, and they all pricked up their ears to listen to the situation in Jiangbei, fearing that the Wei army in Jiangbei would break through the Yangtze River and fight to Jiangdong.

They didn't have the courage to resist at all, and if the Wei army really came, they would inevitably flee.

The first battle of the Sun and Wu regime was broken, everyone drooped their heads, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang and other Wei generals who broke the Wu army The name was widely spread in Jiangdong, and they were deeply frightened, which could stop children crying at night.

The situation of the Sun-Wu regime was already very bad.

To make matters worse, Sun Ce was seriously injured and fell unconscious after crossing the river, and his condition was worrying.
