Chapter 1184 Order to continue marching
The bodies of the Jingzhou army were piled up like mountains.
Cao's soldiers are cleaning up the battlefield.
Pang Tong rode a tall war horse and patrolled the place where the battle had just begun, accompanied by Lu Bu and others.
"Although there are quite a few enemy soldiers, they can only be killed like pigs after being surrounded by us." Lu Bu said: "Shi Yuan's plan is indeed good."
"It's better to cooperate with several generals." Pang Tong first responded to Lu Bu, and then ordered a guard: "Send the order and let the soldiers look for it well to see if Liu Xuande and Zhuge Kongming were killed."
After the guard left, Zhao Yun said, "I saw Guan Yu, Zhang Fei rushed out with his guard against Liu Xuande. It was just a wrong god, and they disappeared. I don't know if they died in the chaos."
"If Liu Xuande dies, the young master will have less trouble to pacify the south." Pang Tong said: "But I think he won't die so easily."
"The enemy's army has 25,000 people. After this battle, only four or five thousand people fled back." Wei Yan said: "The rest were either captured by our army or died in battle. Just burying the enemy's army today, I don't know how many deep pits I've dug."
"Yuzhou is Cao Gong's place." Pang Tong said: "The body is thrown here and will not be disposed of. It is easy to breed plague after it rots. Burial is still necessary."
"What should I do if the prisoner?" Wei Yan asked again: "Do you kill or take it back?"
"Send someone back to Shouchun and ask the young master what to do." Pang Tong said.
"What else do you want to ask?" Lu Bu said: "If the young master is asked to deal with it, he will definitely not kill any of them."
"That's not necessarily true." Pang Tong said: "If you want to return to Jingzhou, no one will stay. As for those who are willing to stay, he will be placed. The young master does not like to kill people, but it is not that he does not kill people. He kills people to see if these people need to kill them."
"As long as it is an enemy, I think I should kill it." Lu Bu said: "Don't forget that these Jingzhou people set off a fire in Bowang and burned many soldiers under General Xiahou's command."
"The war has ended." Pang Tong said: "We should also return to Wancheng. The prisoners will be taken first. When you arrive in Wancheng, you will see what the young master said."
Pang Tong led his soldiers to clean up the battlefield, and Xiahou Dun and Li Dian also led their troops through the Bowang Valley and came to the place where Liu Bei was defeated.
When they came, they did not see the Jingzhou army led by Liu Bei.
In front of them, Cao's soldiers were just disposing of the bodies.
He came to a Cao army captain with Li Dian, and Xiahou Dun asked, "Where is your head?"
Xiahou Dun is a powerful general under Cao Cao and is also very prestigious among Cao's army.
Although the lieutenant he asked was affiliated with Cao Shu, he also knew Xiahou Dun.
After saluting Xiahou Dun, the captain replied: "Return to General Xiahou, Pang Gong should be checking around with several generals at this time."
"Where do you ask me to find such a big place?" Xiahou Dun said angrily: "I'm just waiting here. Go and tell Pang Tong and ask him to come and see me."
The lieutenant responded first.
He was about to leave, but suddenly stopped again.
He pointed to a little further and the captain said, "General Xiahou, Gong Pang and several generals are here!"
Looking in the direction of the lieutenant's finger, Xiahou Dun indeed saw a group of people riding horses towards him.
When he came to Xiahou Dun, Pang Tong bowed his hand with a smile on his face and said, "General Xiahou."
"General Pang." Xiahou Dun bowed his hand and asked, "I wonder where Liu Xuande has gone?"
"I asked the soldiers to search everywhere, but I didn't see Liu Xuande's body." Pang Tong said: "It's likely that he has run away."
"Run?" Xiahou Dun frowned, his face becoming very ugly: "This guy is really good at escaping, but he can still escape."
"I watched the astrological signs at night, and Liu Xuande's stars were bright." Pang Tong said: "He should be able to live for a few more days."
"I actually let this guy run away." Xiahou Dun clenched his fists and said, "It's really annoying."
"I heard that General Xiahou was stationed in the opposite direction of Bowang, why did he come so soon?" Lu Bu asked Xiahou Dun from the side.
Looking at Lu Bu, Xiahou Dun said, "To be honest with General Lu, it was Mr. Cao who sent someone. He predicted that Liu Xuande had left, so I led my troops through the valley."
"Duke Cao sent someone?" Pang Tong asked, "Who is it?"
"Guo Fengxiao." Xiahou Dun said: "Duke Cao received a letter from his son, asking me to divide my troops into two groups to move closer to Jingzhou and march towards Xiangyang."
When Lu Bu and others left Shouchun, Cao Shu had instructed them that if they could go to Xiangyang, they would bring Sima Hui and others to Shouchun.
The news brought by Xiahou Dun did not surprise Pang Tong.
But he still felt that the north had not been pacified, and it was too early to conquer Jingzhou now.
"Mr. Cao and the young master have made a decision." Xiahou Dun said: "What they want is not us destroying Liu Biao in Jingzhou, but to fight to Xiangyang, allowing Liu Biao to bleed and give some benefits. The young master said that Liu Biao can escape unscathed every time he caused trouble. Over time, wouldn't he develop bad habits for him?"
Turning his head and looking at Lu Bu and others, Pang Tong and others were all covered in black lines.
It seems that Cao Shu had already made plans since the start of this battle.
He not only wanted Mr. Shui Jing and others, but also planned to get many benefits from Jingzhou.
If Liu Biao wanted to maintain his territory, all he could do was rely on the Cao family.
It seems that Liu Biao is really about to cry without tears this time...
"I brought too few soldiers and horses." Pang Tong said: "When we marched to Jingzhou, we would like to ask General Xiahou to go first, and wait until I return to Wancheng to gather more soldiers, and then arrive."
"The main general has been replaced, I can't make the decision." Xiahou Dun curled his lips: "General Pang is more appropriate to discuss this matter with Guo Fengxiao."
Liu Bei had been repelled, and Cao Cao sent Guo Jia here. It seems that he had plans to let Jingzhou have a good memory this time.
Pang Tong said: "I will go to see Mr. Guo later."
When Xiahou Dun and Pang Tong met, Liu Bei, under the escort of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, fled all the way to Jingzhou.
The soldiers following him were at most five or six hundred, and the other soldiers who fled were gone.
After running for a whole day and night, he was very distressed and was defeated. Liu Bei and others chose a small forest and stopped.
Sitting on a big stone, Liu Bei was filling water with big mouthfuls.
After drinking, he asked Zhuge Liang: "When we arrived at Bowang, our army had gained some benefits before, but after meeting Pang Shiyuan, it was completely disbanded. What should we do in the future?"
