After the generals in the tent left, Jia Xu said, "In this battle, our army fought 45,000 soldiers, killed about 20,000 enemy troops, lost more than 14,000 people, seriously wounded more than 3,000 soldiers, and slightly wounded countless people, captured more than 25,000 enemy soldiers, and captured countless grain and grass materials. ”

Lu Bu nodded and said, "Wounded soldiers, properly settled, military doctors, treat them as much as possible, seriously injured soldiers, if they can't continue to be in the army, the state pastoral government will also be responsible for their future affairs, the compensation of the fallen soldiers, don't slack off, the merits obtained by the officers and soldiers in the army, do a good job of statistics." ”

"Whoa." Jia Xu arched his hand.

"My lord, the officers and men of our army have suffered a lot of losses in this battle, and the prisoners outside the city, if they are added to the army, will definitely be able to increase the strength of our army in a short period of time." Jia Xu said.

Lu Bu nodded, the captives outside the city are all soldiers who followed Yuan Shu to fight, and they are not weak in terms of strength, and they can fight if they are added to the army, the key is that the loyalty of these soldiers must be guaranteed, Lu Bu does not want traitors to appear in the army when fighting Yuan Shu in the future.

"We'll talk about it when the fighting has subsided." Lu Budao.

The Xuzhou army continued to pursue, and Yuan Shu had already led his soldiers back to Peiguo.

After listening to the battlefield damage reported by the generals in the army, Yuan Shu's face became more and more ugly, 80,000 soldiers, now there are only 20,000 left, 60,000 people lost on the battlefield in Xuzhou, and even the grain and grass of the army have all fallen into the control of the enemy, this battle is a huge blow to Yuan Shu.

20,000 people seems to be a lot, even if the Xuzhou army takes the opportunity to attack Peiguo, it will be difficult to break through, but now the soldiers in the army have lost their initial fighting spirit, once the Xuzhou army is in the city, what kind of result will be.

Morale has an extremely important impact on a large army, and the loss of fighting spirit means that the army loses the capital to fight the enemy.

As a prince, Yuan Shu naturally understands the truth, after the defeat of the war, not to mention the generals in the army, even he himself felt afraid, at this time Yuan Shu wanted to do the most, is to leave here as soon as possible, he didn't want to meet the Xuzhou army.

However, Peiguo is of great significance to Yuan Shu, and Peiguo is the barrier of Runan County, which has always been regarded as the foundation of Yuan Shu.

Runan County has a strong heritage, just the number of ordinary people has reached a terrifying more than two million people, which is more than the population of Liangzhou, Bingzhou and other barren states and counties, if Runan County is broken by Lu Bu, it will be a huge blow to Yuan Shu.

As long as the rule is still there, Yuan Shu can regather tens of thousands of soldiers and horses with an order, and the loss of the city under his rule is the most heart-wrenching.

The movements of the Xuzhou army soon reached Yuan Shu's ears, which made Yuan Shu's mood even more urgent.

"The large-scale mobilization of the Xuzhou army must be for Yuzhou, and now there are still 20,000 elite soldiers under the command of the lord, who will definitely be able to block the attack of the Xuzhou army." Yang Hongdao, the more at this time, as a strategist in the army, you have to make the monarch feel confidence, if even the monarch has lost the most basic confidence, how can you expect the soldiers in the army to have a higher fighting spirit.

Yuan Shu was silent, to be honest, what he was thinking about now was to reconcile with Lu Bu, this battle, he had already lost, and if he continued to fight with Lu Bu, it would not be of the slightest benefit to him.

But what Yuan Shu had to face was that the pursuit launched by the Xuzhou army after the victory could not better block the attack of the Xuzhou army, which meant that there would be more losses.

Gradually, Yuan Shu's mind calmed down, "Yuzhou, under the rule of Benhou, how can Lu Bu be presumptuous." ”

Yan Xiang arched his hand and said, "The lord is wise, although the generals in the army have failed, they still have the strength to fight, if the Xuzhou army wants to attack Yuzhou, it still has to think about one or two, and the territory of Xuzhou is not stable, Guangling has the Jiangdong army to attack the city." ”

Han Yin came out and said, "In the opinion of his subordinates, it is better to send someone to the Xuzhou army to make peace with Lu Bu." ”

Yan Xiang and Yang Hong glared angrily, making peace with Lu Bu at this time would inevitably breed Lu Bu's arrogance, and even Lu Bu would take the opportunity to make all kinds of unreasonable demands, which they could not tolerate.

Yuan Shu did not blame Han Yin, but fell into deep thought, what he said was just to improve the morale of the generals in the army, if the Xuzhou army really arrived, what kind of things would happen is unpredictable, can Peiguo hold on?

Besides, the army lost a lot of grain and grass in the war, how long can the army hold out in the case of lack of money and food, so Han Yin's words are quite agreeable to Yuan Shu.

"Lord, then Lu Bu is a thief, you must not compromise with Lu Bu." Yan Xiang said.

Yuan Shu waved his hand and said, "When the war starts, how many innocent people will die, Ben Hou can't bear to let Xuzhou fall into turmoil." ”

Yang Hong and Yan Xiang couldn't help sighing, from Yuan Shu's words, they felt the meaning of retreat, and the current situation in the army also made them have to think deeply, after the defeat, it will take a while for the army to transport money and grain, just with the background of Peiguo, it is not easy to support the battle of 20,000 troops, and after the victory, Lu Bu's strength will be even more terrifying.

"Who is willing to send an envoy to Pengcheng?" Yuan Shu glanced at everyone in the tent and asked slowly.

The tent fell into an eerie silence, at this time, the Xuzhou army had just been victorious, it was the time when Lu Bu was the most rampant, and the envoy to Pengcheng not only had risks, but it was inevitable to bear humiliation, and Yuan Shu was the losing side of the war at present.

Even Han Yin, who offered advice to Lu Bu for peace, fell into silence.

"There are not a few Han Zhi who go to Pengcheng, so this time it will be up to Han Zhi to go." Yuan Shudao.

"Whoa." Han Yin arched his hand.

Yuan Shu said, "If you are killed in Pengcheng, your family, Benhou will treat you leniently." ”

"Thank you, my lord, I will do my best." Han Yin saluted, he also understood that even if he refused at this time, it would not be of the slightest use, and what Yuan Shu decided to do, how could it be that he could influence it with a small engagement.

Bargaining will only make Yuan Shu have no good impression of him.

"Generals, now is the most critical moment under Benhou's rule, the Xuzhou army will invade Yuzhou at any time, and after you go back, train your soldiers carefully." Yuan Shudao.

"Whoa." The generals in the tent said in unison.

After this battle, the officers and men of all units were all damaged to varying degrees, and some generals even had only more than 100 soldiers left, and there were not a few wounded soldiers.
