After the battle of the river, the east wind raged the river overnight, and Yuan's army defeated the Jingzhou army.

After this battle, Yuan Jun had seized countless military ordnances, logistics food and fodder and other supplies.

There are even some warships such as squads, fighting ships and tower ships that were not burned down by the fire and could not drive away by the soldiers in Jingzhou.

This time, Huang Zu followed the order of Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou, and brought more than 30,000 water and land tribes to compete for the Ankou, and then compete for the entire Lujiang County.

But after this battle, more than thousands of people were swallowed by fire or trampled on each other until they died due to panic.

After the Jingzhou army retreated in a hurry, about 10,000 people were forced to surrender after being unable to escape because they were unable to escape.

After capturing more than 10,000 people, Yuan Yao ordered Zhou Cang and Lei Bo to lead their troops to guard the prisoners of war on the spot, they hurriedly ordered the entire army to pursue the remaining troops of Huang Zu who were fleeing to Jiangxia County day and night.

We passed by one night and dawn was about to begin the next day.

Widths of gentle winter sunshine can't help but gently shine the afterglow on the river.

At this moment, the tragic situation of the war that broke out overnight emerged.

The blood and water on the river merged, the corpses floated above, and the Jingzhou naval camps that had been burned to no longer be destroyed but were shaky and shaky.

These pictures all indicate the tragic situation of this battle.

...

But the next two days seemed to be Huang Zu's dark days.

On his way to Jiangxia County with his remnants, facing the pursuit of Yuan soldiers who were like wolves and tigers behind him, his mood has always been in a terrifying expression.

It was not until he led the crowd to arrive at Shaxian, the important town of Jiangxia that he calmed down.

However, with the pursuit of Yuan's army along the way, the number of military personnel in the remnants of Jingzhou has also been sharply decreasing.

Until they fled to Shaxian, the main army of more than 30,000 was now left with only about 10,000 remaining soldiers.

Moreover, after this battle, this branch has long been out of control and needs rest and will have no combat power in a short time!

Even though Huang Zu had retreated to Jiangxia, the undoubtedly strong edge that Yuan Jun showed was not at all possible to stop.

It seems that Yuan Yao is preparing to invade Jiangxia County in one fell swoop.

But the idea was the idea. In the end, Yuan Yao decided to stop when he was about to go, withdraw his troops and return to the Wankou camp, and suspend the strategic plan to attack Jiangxia County.

Because after hearing the news of Huang Zu’s defeat reached Xiangyang.

In the city of Xiangyang, from the governor of the state, Liu Biao, to the gentry of various families, civil and military officials at all levels were all shocked, and were stunned by the strong combat power of Yuan's army.

But then, considering that Yuan's army's strong military advancement could not help his army take advantage of the situation. After some resolution, Liu Biao also mobilized more than 20,000 people and handed them over to command Kuai Yue to go south again to assist Huang Zu, in case the Yuan army had the idea of ​​taking advantage of the situation to invade the state and counties.

As he heard that Jingxiang reinforcements had arrived, Yuan Yao also decisively stopped the army.

He did not intend to continue to confront Jingzhou troops and confront them.

On the one hand, it is because our side has pacified the counties in Jiangdong and it still takes time to settle down. It is not advisable to start a protracted war in Huazhou County.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Yuan Yao knew that it was not yet time to go to full war with Liu Biao.

Faced with the enemy's aid, it was natural that he chose to temporarily avoid the edge.

On the other hand, it is also because Jiangdong is currently in the early stage of its naval army, and its scale is still in the preparation stage for construction planning. If we really want to compete with the Jingxiang Navy on a large scale on the Yangtze River.

It does not have an advantage.

Yuan Yao naturally understood very clearly that all the factors combined together are definitely not the time to stay with Jingxiang.

Although Sun Ce was a little depressed about the inability to kill his father's enemy this time, he temporarily buried his hatred in his heart after the unanimous reassurance of the generals.

As the saying goes, "It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge."

Before retreating, Sun Ce was criticized by a strong armor, holding a silver spear in his hand, staring at the direction of the head of Shaxian City with his eyes tightly. The endless anger appeared on his face, but then it slowly dissipated.

"Zo Huang, you are waiting. One day in the future, I will take my head to worship at my father's tomb."

After making a solemn oath, he followed the army to evacuate slowly.

With Yuan's army withdrawing sharply, Huang Zu, who had just escaped to Shaxian, breathed a sigh of relief, and he couldn't help but restored his calm expression.

Immediately, the sergeants began to organize the city defense and maintain Jiangxia's defense in case the situation of Yuan's army attacking again occurred.

Although Jingzhou reinforcements came to the aid and forced the main force of Yuan’s army to leave, they could only stop there!

After this great defeat, the tens of thousands of main forces under Huang Zu suffered extremely heavy losses. Even if 20,000 new forces came to support, it was still like a drop in the bucket. Apart from temporarily defending, there were not many opportunities and they were unable to continue to advance to Lujiang County.

After the main forces of Yuan’s army retreated to Lujiang one after another.

Kuai Yue just recorded the truth in Xiangyang and reported it to Liu Biao to know.

After learning that the situation in Jiangxia had temporarily stabilized, Liu Biao decided to use Huang Zu as the prefect of Jiangxia County and lead his troops to garrison Jiangxia to prevent the Yuan family, which had been occupied by Yangzhou.

Then, Kuai Yue was recalled.

As one of Liu Biao's right-hand men, he naturally would not let Kuai Yue serve as the local prefect, and he would definitely help him in Xiangyang at all times.

What's more, the Huang family has a prominent family background and its power is also spread throughout Jiangxia.

If Huang Zu did not serve as the prefect of Jiangxia, he might not be able to quickly stabilize the scholars and people of Jiangxia and stabilize the current situation.

When Liu Biao rode a single cavalry into Jingzhou, he was able to quickly settle down in the seven counties of Jingxiang. The ones he relied on were the Jingxiang gentry.

Like Cai, Kuai, Huang, and Pang, they are ranked among the most powerful famous families in Jingxiang.

Liu Biao was also very clear in his heart that if he wanted to sit firmly in Jingxiang, he would inevitably appoint talents from these four families or the virtuous and upright talents he recommended.

We need to win the support of the four families.

Therefore, in the face of this situation, Liu Biao also made a quick decision.

...

After Yuan's army retreated to Wankou, Yuan Yao quickly settled down and ordered Lei Bo to lead his troops to Wankou, and was responsible for repairing the camp and strengthening defense.

After all the things were settled, he brought his people back to the county seat Wancheng.

In one day's effort, Yuan Yao led the victorious army back.

It seems that the scholars and civilians in Lujiang County had already heard of Yuan Yao's massacre to destroy the fierce thieves in Jingzhou.

Therefore, when they admire Yuan Yao, almost every household opened their doors to greet him when Yuan Jun returned.
