That's it.

Even if Huang Zhong and Gan Ning were really defeated in the end, it would do more harm than good to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei's initial plan was actually to use the surprise attack method to quickly defeat Gan Ning and Huang Zhong, and at a very small cost, he could kill Gan Ning and Huang Zhong, the two right-hand men of Liu Zheng's subordinates.

But now after the real battle, he found that even if he united Liu Zhang's men, it was not so easy to eliminate Gan Ning and Huang Zhong.

Even if you force yourself to fight, you will lose a large part of your combat power, and in that case, it will be cheaper for Liu Zhang in the end.

Because of Liu Zhang's troops among the three parties, even if all the 30,000 troops and horses were lost, he still retained tens of thousands of people in Nanzheng City.

At that time, if Liu Zheng and Liu Bei fight to the death, both will lose, and Liu Zhang will occupy the cheapness.

If Liu Zhang had two hearts, he would lead people to directly destroy Liu Bei and Liu Zheng, wouldn't it be to reap the benefits of the fisherman.

Don't look at the relationship between Liu Zhang and Liu Bei now, but if there is such an opportunity, Liu Zhang will not hesitate at all.

So thinking of this, Liu Bei quickly shook his head.

I know that in this situation, I can't continue.

Anyway, now Gan Ning's soldiers and horses have been lost, and it can be regarded as eliminating tens of thousands of troops under Liu Zheng.

The whole day of fighting also made Liu Bei's soldiers and horses look tired, and it is not appropriate to continue to fight here with the Ganning army that has already come to reinforce the army.

Seeing that Guan Yu and Zhao Yun wanted to defeat Lu Bu, it was not something that could be achieved in a while, Liu Bei simply ordered a temporary withdrawal of troops.

"Mr. Xianhe, Huang Zhong's soldiers and horses are not easy to deal with, they are one of the most elite soldiers and horses under Liu Zheng, and their arrival may change the situation on the battlefield, let's withdraw our troops temporarily, anyway, we have achieved our goal this time."

Liu Bei gave an order, Jian Yong and Liu Bei on the side actually had the same idea, and when they heard Liu Bei's order to retreat, they also nodded, and immediately went down to arrange it, and didn't say much.

After Liu Bei's order was issued, the first people to pass it on were Guan Yu and Zhao Yun.

Guan Yu and Zhao Yun were fighting to the death with Lu Bu when they heard the signal from Liu Bei's direction that Ming Jin had withdrawn his troops.

Both of them had some doubts, although they couldn't understand why Liu Bei gave the order to retreat at this time, but since it was the signal issued by their eldest brother and lord, they also had to obey.

At this time, Lu Bu was retreating from being suppressed by Guan Yu and Zhao Yun, and he had already reached the end of his rope, if he persisted for a while, he might have to show his flaws and be defeated by Guan Yu and Zhao Yun.

But at this time, Guan Yu and Zhao Yun took the initiative to retreat from the battlefield, which made Lu Bu have a trace of doubt.

However, doubts are doubts, and he is still very happy to see these two fierce enemies retreating in front of him.

With the issuance of Liu Bei's order to collect his troops, Liu Beijun, who had occupied some advantages on the battlefield, gradually began to retreat.

When Huang Zhong's 20,000 troops rushed to the battlefield, they did not have a direct confrontation with Liu Bei's soldiers and horses, and watched Liu Bei's soldiers and horses retreat.

Huang Zhong's men and horses did not take advantage of the situation to chase.

First, I am worried that this is a trap deliberately set by the other party to retreat into advance, pretend to be suspicious, and deliberately set up.

Second, they also came to support Gan Ning, who was still trapped in the center of the camp at this time, and wanted to save people.

It wasn't until Liu Zheng saw that the surrounding soldiers and horses were withdrawing one after another, and Liu Bei's men and horses did not stay here, that he really knew that Liu Bei had withdrawn, and then he approached the battlefield.

After some tossing, it was the next day, and the sky was slightly bright.

The battlefield was already a mess, and when the morning star rose and the sky released a white belly, Liu Zheng met with several of his generals here in the reconstructed camp.

Gan Ning was covered in blood and had many injuries all over his body, but these injuries were not fatal, just some skin injuries, as a veteran of the battlefield, this injury was nothing to him.

Because Liu Zheng summoned him, he didn't care about going down to treat his injuries, so he came to the camp first to report the battle situation with Liu Zheng.

The same is true for Su Fei, Lu Bu and others, but they are not as embarrassed as Gan Ning, although Lu Bu has blood stains on his body, he is not injured, at most, he has been fighting for a long time, and his body is a little weak.

Liu Zheng glanced at the many generals present, worried that they would fight with Liu Bei's army this time, and the loss of many soldiers and horses was conservatively estimated to be more than 30,000 casualties.

Fortunately, although many soldiers and horses were killed and wounded, the main generals were not injured.

Even if Gan Ning and the others continued to fight, they were only slightly injured, and there was no major problem.

"Hansheng, how are the battlefield statistics? How many people have we died? ”

Liu Zheng looked at it for a while, and then set his eyes on Huang Zhong's body, wanting to ask what kind of losses they suffered in this battle.

Huang Zhong's face was not good-looking, this was because after he learned about the battle situation this time, his face had been very solemn, he wanted to speak, but he didn't have time yet, and now he didn't hesitate when he heard Liu Zheng ask.

"Your Majesty, the situation is not good, the 30,000 troops under General Gan Ning have been lost, only more than 2,000 people remain, and the more than 10,000 people we sent to support have also lost more than 6,000 people, and even the trapped camp has lost nearly 1,000 people in the battle with the enemy, and our army has suffered nearly 40,000 casualties in this battle!"

Liu Zheng had more than 60,000 soldiers and horses stationed in the Shangyong County area, and now there were nearly 40,000 dead and wounded, which was indeed a big blow to Liu Zheng.

"So many dead and wounded! Damn it! ”

After Liu Zheng heard Huang Zhong's report, he was angry, and his arm slapped heavily on the board beside him, making a heavy muffled sound.

Apparently he was by what happened this time.

"Your Majesty, the main reason for the incident is that our spies did not find out some detailed information, and at the same time, Liu Bei and Liu Zhang's soldiers and horses joined forces to deal with our battalion, forcing General Gan Ning to be powerless to resist, which caused the current situation."

In fact, things have come to this point, why this situation happened, and the reasons inside, Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses have almost explored it.

Even if you don't know, when you see Liu Zhang and Liu Bei's soldiers and horses appearing here at the same time on the battlefield, you already know about it.

The only unexpected reason why they lost this time was how Liu Zhang and Liu Bei got together.

If this reason is thrown aside, it is impossible to deal with Gan Ning's soldiers and horses in such a short period of time with Liu Bei's troops alone.
