As Gongsun Zan's army retreated, the generals began to clean up the battlefield!
According to the initial calculations, the 130,000 soldiers under Gongsun Zan and Gongsun Du had died in battle, with more than 50,000 of them!
30,000 infantry and 20,000 cavalry died in battle!
They had captured more than 30,000 enemy soldiers, including 10,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry. Their weapons and warhorses were confiscated and placed under the watch of the generals!
This meant that more than half of Gongsun Zan and Gongsun Du's 50,000 cavalry had been destroyed!
Adding on some deserters, it was estimated that in this battle alone, the alliance army of Gong and Sun would only have less than 50,000 people left!
As for Yuan Xi's side, they had 100,000 soldiers, of which 5,000 cavalrymen and 20,000 infantry had died!
Including the captured soldiers, the casualty ratio was about 1:3 to 1:4. It could be considered a great victory!
The only thing that made Yuan Xi's heart ache was that the Embroidered Uniform Guards and the Back Wei Army had lost more than 150 soldiers!
However, this was how the battlefield was. There would be death if there was life!
Even if it was Battle God Baiqi, he had killed 400,000 Zhao soldiers in the Battle of Changping, but the Qin army had suffered 300,000 casualties!
After receiving the news that Zhao Yun had not broken out of the encirclement and was abandoned by Gongsun Zan, he was still fighting with Yang Zaixing!
Yuan Xi also rode his warhorse and arrived at the periphery of Zhao Yun and Yang Zaixing who were still fighting!
In fact, after Gongsun Zan retreated, Zhao Yun also wanted to kill his way out!
However, Yang Zaixing's strength was not inferior to his. In addition, more and more Yuan soldiers were rushing over. Zhao Yun, who was firmly entangled, could not break out at all!
This was completely different from the time when Zhao Yun had charged at Cao Cao's 700,000-strong army!
At that time, Old Cao loved talents and forbade his soldiers from shooting arrows at him. Moreover, there was not a single person who could really fight Zhao Yun to a draw!
However, for Yuan Xi, Yang Zaixing alone could fight Zhao Yun to a draw, not to mention that Yan Wengao, Zhang Wujiang, and Zhang Jialiang were all around him!
Zhao Yun naturally couldn't break out of the encirclement!
Looking at Zhao Yun who was surrounded in the middle, Yuan Xi could not help but say to Zhao Yun!
"Zhao Zilong of Changshan, I know your name. As a general under Gongsun Zan, you are considered to be serving your own master by opposing our army and killing countless of our soldiers.”
"However, you, Zhao Yun, as a citizen of Changshan County, actually led your troops to attack Changshan, attack your hometown, and kill your elders. Didn't you hear what that Gongsun thief said?”
"After breaking through Chang Mountain, you allowed the soldiers to plunder Chang Mountain for three days. Is this your self-proclaimed loyalty?”
"If that's the case, shouldn't this prince thank you properly on behalf of the Chang Shan people?”
When Zhao Yun, who was fighting with Yang Zaixing, heard Yuan Xi's sarcastic words, she couldn't breathe!
Yes, he was from Chang Mountain!
However, why would Zhao Yun want to bring the enemy to invade her hometown?
Wasn't all of this Gongsun Zan's order?
He, Zhao Yun, was also caught in the middle and had no room to resist!
Could it be that Zhao Yun would betray Gongsun Zan and kill him for this?
As Zhao Yun was distracted, Yang Zaixing seized the opportunity to raise his spear and thrust it at Zhao Yun's heart!
Sensing the danger, Zhao Yun was indeed Zhao Yun. He quickly regained his senses and kicked off his warhorse, rolling in the air!
After dodging Yang Zaixing's fatal attack, he sat back on his horse and thrust out his silver spear!
Seeing this, Yang Zaixing turned around and the spear in his hand collided with Zhao Yun's silver spear again!
The impact of the collision caused both of them to take a few steps back!
Seeing that the two of them had finally separated, Yuan Xi immediately asked Yang Zaixing to stop!
At the same time, Yuan Xi said to Zhao Yun!
"Zhao Yun, Gongsun Zan has been defeated, but he only wants to live for himself. He abandoned you and did not care about you. Are you going to fight to the death for Gongsun Zan?”
When Yuan Xi said this, a struggling expression appeared on Zhao Yun's handsome face for the first time!
To him, Gongsun Zan was definitely not a wise ruler!
In Zhao Yun's heart, there was already someone she should follow, and that was Liu Bei!
But out of loyalty, Zhao Yun also understood that as long as he was still under Gongsun Zan, he would never join Liu Bei!
This was betraying his master. He, Zhao Yun, would never do such a thing!
However, Gongsun Zan's actions today had indeed confused Zhao Yun!
Was it really worth it to die for a lord who did not care about his own life at all?
When Yuan Xi saw the struggling expression on Zhao Yun's face, joy arose in his heart!
Then, Yuan Xi continued to speak!
"The people of Chang Mountain have suffered heavy casualties because of Gongsun Zan's actions today. As a citizen of Chang Mountain, how can you face your fellow villagers?”
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Yun immediately raised his head and roared in grief and indignation. A hint of suicidal intent had already appeared in his heart!
"I, Zhao Yun, have lived up to the heavens, the earth, and even my lord. However, I have only let down the elders and villagers of Chang Mountain!”
"Today, we are surrounded by an army of more than 100,000. Zhao Yun can only die as an apology!”
After saying that, Zhao Yun pulled out the sword at her waist and was about to commit suicide to apologize!
This scene greatly exceeded Yuan Xi's expectations!
It seemed that the death of the Chang Shan people had indeed provoked Zhao Yun!
Therefore, Yuan Xi immediately asked Yang Zaixing to step forward and stop Zhao Yun. At the same time, Yuan Xi also said!
"Zhao Yun, to think that I thought you were a fearless hero. It's just a small matter and you want to kill yourself?”
"You have nothing to worry about when you die, but will the suffering of the Chang Shan people disappear because of your death?”
"If you really have the guts, then live well. Use the rest of your life to do more for the people of Chang Shan!”
After Yuan Xi sternly rebuked these words, Zhao Yun's hand involuntarily froze!
Zhao Yun was born into a commoner's family. Compared to the current generation of famous generals, his background was indeed very low!
Therefore, people like him could understand the hardships of the people better and could not be reused by the lord!
When Zhao Yun joined the army under Gongsun Zan, the villagers in Changshan County sent their children to join the army with Zhao Yun!
Now, he had even led his troops to attack Chang Mountain!
To Zhao Yun, this was a thorn in her heart!
After Liu Bei captured Yizhou, he did not want any rewards. He only hoped that Liu Bei would return the fields and houses to the people!
He was truly a good general who fought for the people!
Therefore, Yuan Xi's words just now had given Zhao Yun such a huge shock!
But now, what Yuan Xi said had touched Zhao Yun quite a bit!
Yes, it was simple to die, but could he make up for the mistake that he, Zhao Yun, had made?
Hence, Zhao Yun, who had been fooled by Yuan Xi, immediately spoke to Yuan Xi!
"Then, do you have any way to teach me?”
