plus Pei Yuanshao, there are a total of six people, each of whom has at least three wounds.

And Pei Yuanshao has a total of two gunshot wounds and six knife wounds on his body, and he is not dead yet, which is already a miracle.

Six men were placed on improvised stretchers and carried back to the camp by other soldiers.

The bodies of more than a dozen other soldiers who died in battle were also recovered.

When they returned to the camp, Cheng Yuanzhi and the others had already cleaned up several battlefields.

In the camp, a whole large box of nameplates was placed, all of which were recovered from the soldiers who died in battle, and there were more than 3,000 nameplates.

But Gongsun Chan's battle losses were even greater.

Of the 5,000 people led by Liu Bei, only 2,000 escaped safely in the end.

On Gongsun Zhan's side, before the river came, more than 1,000 people died in the battle with Zhao Hui.

Then more than 3,000 people were washed away by the river, and then more than 1,000 people who rushed to Zhao Hui's side were also killed by Zhao Hui.

In this battle, Gongsun Chan lost nearly 9,000 soldiers, and the casualties were three times that of Zhao Hui's side.

All the soldiers who died in battle were awarded the Order of Merit of the Second Class.

More than a dozen people led by Pei Yuanshao won the collective first-class meritorious service medal and the individual second-class meritorious service.

The other soldiers are judged according to the number of enemy soldiers killed.

The day after the war, Zhao Yun took 500 warriors recruited from Zhaojia Village and other nearby villages to make peace with Zhao Hui in Jumashui.

After Liu Bei fled, he made a detour, and only after five days did he make peace with Gongsun Zhan.

After Liu Bei and Gongsun Chan made peace, Gongsun Chan withdrew his troops.

Tai Shi Ci had already arrived with the soldiers and horses of Shanggu County, and he was only more than a hundred miles away from Juma Shui.

After Gongsun Chan withdrew, although Zhao Hui had surpassed Gongsun Chan in strength after making peace with Tai Shi Ci, Zhao Hui did not pursue Gongsun Chan.

Zhao Hui didn't have much food and grass, and Tai Shici also gave up most of his baggage in order to rush to the battlefield as soon as possible.

After the Battle of Jumashui, each side returned to their own territory.

After returning to Shanggu County, Zhao Hui began a new round of recruitment.

The same is true for Gongsun Zhan.

Not only in Youzhou, but also Yuan Shao in Jizhou, Cao Cao, Liu Dai, Zhang Miao and others in Yanzhou are constantly expanding their troops.

If you don't want to be annihilated by others, you can only ensure that you are strong.

And the number of soldiers is the best indication of their strength.

The more soldiers there are, the higher the deterrent effect will be, so that others will not dare to attack them easily.

This is a characteristic of warlords.

When they see someone else recruiting, they will follow suit.

But under such an unrestricted recruitment, they will soon have various crises due to the problem of food and grass.

Yuan Shao Cao Cao recruited soldiers and horses, they were not endless, and they had abundant capital.

When there is a shortage of food and grass, others can only squeeze it from the common people, or they can only take and rob other warlords.

As long as you go to fight with other princes, you can grab more grain and grass resources if you win. If you lose, everything is gone.

Zhao Hui was also very restrained in recruiting soldiers.

Although the number of troops is huge, it can give the enemy a stronger deterrent.

But if you don't do it well, you will directly collapse your own economy and military.

In terms of recruiting soldiers, Zhao Hui must first ensure that he has enough grain and grass to support the needs of these armies.

If it is still like the previous Yellow Turban Army, not only does it not even have any money, but it is difficult to even eat enough, such an army, even if it has millions of people, will be defeated by the enemy with tens of thousands of troops.

There is no combat power at all, but it is just constantly consuming its few resources.

At the same time that Zhao Hui was recruiting troops in Shanggu County, Youzhou Mu also reprimanded Zhao Hui and Gongsun Zhan, but only through letters.

Zhao Hui and Gongsun Zhan fought a battle in Jumashui, and Liu Yu, as the state pastor, received the news as soon as possible.

But he simply didn't have the ability to stop Zhao Hui and Gongsun Zhan.

can only order Zhao Hui and Gongsun Zhan by letter not to start a war.

But his words were not binding at all for Zhao Hui and Gongsun Zhan. Use it when you need it, and tear it up when you don't need it.

Liu Yu originally wanted to use Zhao Hui to balance Gongsun Zhan.

But when the two of them crusaded against Dong Zhuo, everything was completely out of his control.

And the whole world form has completely surprised Liu Yu.

In Youzhou, Gongsun Chan and Zhao Hui fought.

Jizhou, Yuan Shao is also attacking everywhere, although he has not yet attacked other counties, but Yuan Shao's ambitions have also been exposed.

In Yanzhou, several Taishou also attacked each other, and they showed no mercy at all.

In Jingzhou, Liu Biao and Sun Jian fought, and Yuan Shu was also encroaching on the city of Jingzhou.

What about other states, Liu Yu doesn't want to care, he just wants to be able to stabilize the situation in Youzhou now.

As a pastor of Youzhou, Liu Yu has never been able to fully control Youzhou.

The previous military power was in the hands of Gongsun Zhan, Gongsun Zhan became the Taishou of Beiping, and Liu Yu recruited some soldiers, but there were only more than 5,000 people, and they were all new soldiers, far from being compared with those veterans who were taken to Beiping County by Gongsun Zhan.

Unlike Gongsun Zhan, Zhao Hui still admires Liu Yu.

This is a person who really carves benevolence and righteousness into his bones, and when facing ordinary people, sometimes he even makes people feel that he is very pedantic.

Obviously, he can get greater benefits for himself, but because it will affect some innocent people, Liu Yu will choose to give up.

If it weren't for such a character, with Liu Yu's talent, he would never be able to suppress even a Gongsun Zhan.

It can't be said that he is not a qualified state pastor, he has the ability to govern a state well, but his character makes him unable to gain a foothold in this troubled world.

The relationship between Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu is very stiff, but if he can, Zhao Hui still hopes to have a good relationship with Liu Yu.

So after returning to Shanggu and dealing with some things, Zhao Hui personally went to Jicheng to meet Liu Yu.

"China has seen the state pastor." Zhao Hui hugged his fists.

Liu Yu smiled: "China doesn't need to be polite. ”

Liu Yu was very happy that Zhao Hui would come to Jicheng in person, at least it showed that he had played Zhao Hui as the Taishou of Shanggu County, and this decision was not wrong.

If Gongsun Chan can be like Zhao Hui, how can the relationship between them be so tense.

Gongsun Chan returned from the crusade, fought with Zhao Hui in Juma Shui, and returned to Beiping County, he never came to Jicheng, and the news sent by Liu Yu did not see Gongsun Chan respond.

After returning from Luoyang, when Gongsun Chan decided to intercept Zhao Hui halfway, he was ready to stand on his own.

Unlike before, although he held military power, the administrative power was in Liu Yu's hands, and at that time, Gongsun Chan had to bow his head like Liu Yu if he wanted grain and grass.

But now, he owns Beiping County himself, and there are several other county taishou who are friendly with him.

Gongsun Chan is now completely able to supply his army's grain and grass independently, and he does not need to rely on Liu Yu.
