The number of missing people is even more staggering, 12,800, in fact, everyone knows that most of these missing people are still more than lucky.

There are also the 13,000 wounded, and in the first battle of Gangneung, the Central Army lost 35,000 people, almost one of the three.

This is also thanks to the fact that all the officers and men of the Central Army have learned to swim, and the unexpected Central Army and the Dongwu Navy can join forces to save people, and Lu Bu has transferred part of the troops in advance, otherwise, the outcome of being caught off guard would be much more terrible than now.

The 100,000-strong army, all of which were elite in a hundred battles, did not die on the fierce battlefield, but they were almost all lost in this natural and man-made disaster, and almost wiped out the entire army.

Lu Bu also had to admire the vicious plan that Pang Tong came up with, and almost reversed the comparison of the combat power of the two armies.

However, due to the interference of some unexpected factors, some things that were not expected to develop by demons such as Pang Tong, such as the internal strife of the Jingzhou Army, the whole Central Army can swim, and the Dongwu Navy did not fall into the ground, but reached out to help, etc.

In the end, Pang Tong did not get the result he wanted, or the most desirable result.

The Jingzhou army itself was also seriously attrition, originally there were 65,000 defenders in the city, but 25,000 were killed and wounded in the three-day siege, and the remaining 40,000 people killed each other in order to save the people of Jiangling when the flood came, and there was internal strife.

There were 5,000 people who surrendered to the Central Army, most of whom were Gangneung's disciples.

Five thousand people were captured and rescued by the Central Army, about 6,000 were killed and missing, and 4,000 were rescued by the Soochow Naval Army.

In the end, less than 20,000 people fled to Huarong with Liu Bei and Pang Tong, and some people were dissatisfied with what Liu Bei and Pang Tong did, so they simply fled.

Liu Bei rested in Huarong for a few days, but he no longer saw the soldiers of the Jingzhou Army returning, and Yan Yan was never seen, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

Liu Bei listened to Pang Tong's suggestion, and with the help of the Eastern Wu naval army, he sent his army to Changsha County.

Nanjun was lost, and for the time being, he could only gain a foothold in Changsha County, and I heard that the Central Army had recovered the entire Wuling County.

Liu Bei couldn't understand why those barbarians in Wuling County were so dissatisfied with the seven officials they sent and eight who were not angry with the people they sent were so happy to obey Lu Bu's people?

Hundreds of thousands of barbarians said that they would be obedient, which was incredible.

It wasn't until he sat on the warship of the Eastern Wu Navy, sailed on the vast Dongting Lake, and looked at the beautiful scenery of the water and sky, that Liu Bei's mood improved.

I hope that these 800 miles of Dongting can stop the pace of the Central Army's advance!

After presiding over the cremation ceremony of the remains of the dead soldiers of the Central Army, Lu Bu set off for Chang'an.

This time the battle of Jingzhou could only end here, such a huge loss of personnel and equipment made several main divisions of the Central Army lose the ability to continue fighting.

Although there are still a few divisions that are not affected, most of them are cavalry units, which are not suitable for fighting in this area with a dense water network south of the Yangtze River.

Gangneung City suffered an unprecedented catastrophe, and there were about 50,000 surviving Gangneung people, which were the results of the joint rescue of the Central Army and the Soochow Naval Army.

Nearly 100,000 people died in this natural and man-made disaster, and the people of Jingzhou and even the whole country knew the reason for this incident under the deliberate promotion and propaganda of the Central Military Intelligence Department.

Liu Bei and Pang Tong became known to the world as butchers, executioners, and thieves!

Liu Bei's good reputation accumulated for decades was lost overnight, and it became even more infamous, and "Poison Phoenix" also became Pang Tong's new nickname.

In order to prevent a major epidemic in the Jiangling area due to a large number of deaths of people and animals, Lu Bu borrowed the "miracle doctor" Zhang Zhongjing and some of his proud disciples from Chang'an in a special car to preside over the epidemic prevention and medical and health work in the disaster area.

The Central Army also exercised military control over the entire Gangneung area, and the Central Army took matters into its own hands to rebuild the embankment near Gangneung and dredge the river.

As water levels return to normal, the bodies of some missing people continue to be found.

They were all dealt with according to the advice of the miracle doctor, and through the unremitting efforts of everyone, an outbreak of a major epidemic was finally averted.

After the reconstruction, Jiangling City was still used as the state administration of Jingzhou and the county seat of Nanjun under the jurisdiction of the Central Army, Zhang Liao was appointed as the assassin of Jingzhou, and Zhuge Liang was also the chief of staff of the Central Army of the Jingzhou front, and was left in Jingzhou by Lu Bu.

The 6th, 15th, 16th, and 3rd Cavalry Divisions were left in Jingzhou, and Lü Bu asked Zhang Liao not to interrupt the attack on Liu Bei within the scope of his ability, and the navy's Yangtze River Fleet would establish a new naval base in Jinxiang to cooperate with the military action against Liu Bei.

The rest of the participating units went to their respective new stations for rest and recuperation, and the General Staff of the Central Army will replenish the losses of personnel and equipment as soon as possible, after all, they are all main divisions and ace divisions.

The outcome of the Battle of Gangneung also affected the Central Army's battles in the direction of Yanzhou and Qingzhou on the Eastern Front.

Because Guo Jia let Xiahoudun and Cao Zhang lead the army back to Xuzhou at the first time, Zhao Yun failed to expand his gains in Donghai County after recovering the entire territory of Langxi County.

Taishan County also regained only half of its territory.

However, Xu Huang's subordinates occupied the entire Dongjun and Jibei Kingdom, and the Wei army was simply unable to launch a counterattack to regain the lost territory.

After this battle, the central army snatched the land of the three counties from Cao Cao, and also eliminated the Wei army of about 40,000 people, including the Liao Hua department, and its own losses were less than 6,000 people, which was a big advantage.

It was Guo Jia who, with the help of the Eastern Wu Naval Army, rushed back to Xuzhou as quickly as possible, and fought two battles with the Central Army, regardless of victory or defeat, so that Xu Huang and Zhao Yun failed to take advantage of more and returned in disgrace.

After hearing about the good deeds done by Liu Bei and Pang Tong in Jiangling, Chen Gong, who was sent to Wei, still announced that he would sever relations with Liu Bei and return to Cao Cao's command, which made Cao Cao very happy.

Cao Cao is the most tolerant, although Chen Gong betrayed him and almost forced him into a desperate situation, but Cao Cao still loved him like his life, forgave Chen Gong's past, and let Chen Gong regain his loyalty to Cao Cao.

In November, Zhang Liao, the assassin of Jingzhou, with the help of the navy's Yangtze River fleet, defeated the combined forces of Liu Bei and Zhou Yu at the mouth of Dongting Lake.

Without the support of the Eastern Wu Naval Army, how could Liu Bei's remnants stop the offensive of the Central Army.

The eight-hundred-mile Dongting could not become Liu Bei's barrier, and the navy occupied the central army, which had absolute water superiority, and drove straight in with the captains of the navy, and easily captured Linxiang, the county of Changsha County.

Liu Bei, Pang Tong, Guan Yu and others could only continue to flee south, with few followers.

The general Wei Yan is a native of Changsha, and his homeland is difficult to leave, so he does not want to follow Liu Bei to escape further south.
