    The battle has gone beyond everyone¡¯s expectations.

    The Allied forces suffered heavy losses and the Yangzhou Army was exhausted.

    "Sun Bofu, you are powerful, but you are still too young to beat me." Xu Chu said, even his ridicule was so direct.

    Sun Ce had nothing to say. When he saw the heavy infantry gathering in an orderly manner, he sighed secretly, put away his gun and retreated calmly.

    Xu Chu did not pursue him because he was not in a very good condition at the moment. He was evenly matched with Sun Ce. If he continued to fight, there would be no good results.

    Sun Ce retreated, which meant that the beheading operation failed.  In order to implement this plan, the Allied forces dispatched six generals, seven including Sun Ce, and countless followers.

    The result still failed.

    Tai Shici was still trying hard to rush into the formation, but unfortunately there were too many guards around Cao Cao, and he couldn't do anything.

    "Your Excellency, there is no need to waste your efforts. If the loss is here, wouldn't the Marquis of Dongyang want to go crazy and seek revenge from me?" Cao Cao said calmly.

    In fact, Cao Cao was also afraid of Tai Shici's sudden outburst, so he wanted him to retreat in the face of difficulties. After all, there was no general around him at the moment.

    How could it be so simple to take the enemy general's head from the midst of thousands of troops?

    The reason why the six generals were able to fight Liu Ke was because Liu Ke took the initiative, otherwise the crowd would have swamped them.

    No matter how brave a general is, he is still just a human being.

    Tai Shici sighed and really retreated. Otherwise, Sun Ce and others would come back to help and it would be difficult for them to escape.

    The two armies retreated in tacit agreement.

    "My lord! The general is incompetent and failed to take down Sun Ce. Please punish me." Xu Chu apologized.

    "Get up, what's the crime?" Liu Kedao said.

    "How come you are not guilty? My lord defeated six people, but I couldn't defeat any of them." Xu Chu said.

    "It doesn't matter, Sun Ce is not that easy to deal with. If you really feel bad about it, you can just make up for it in the future." Liu Kedao.

    Liu Ke had experience in Sun Ce¡¯s martial arts.  If the fight continues, Xu Chu's chances of winning are very high, but the price he pays will be unacceptable.

    Taishi Ci and Zhang He also re-arranged themselves and waited for new orders.

    The light cavalry is okay, but the heavy cavalry's horses are already overwhelmed. If they don't get an effective rest, they may fall off their horses without the enemy taking action.

    "We are at the end of our rope?" Zhang He laughed at himself. If his lord ordered an assault, he would still carry it out resolutely.

    As for being able to charge into the formation once more.

    No, twice.

    The heavy infantry were not much better. The burden on their legs was very heavy, but they persisted and did not sit down.

    Once you sit down, you may not be able to get up. On the battlefield, this is definitely a joke with your life.

    For the sake of the lives of his men, Liu Ke knew that the battle could not continue.

    Otherwise, the loss will be doubled.

    It just so happened that Cao Cao and Sun Ce thought the same way.

    Since ancient times, when the strength of the army has been reduced by 30%, the morale of the army cannot bear it, and the soldiers begin to think about retreating.

    At a glance, Cao Cao saw that the battlefield was full of corpses of allied troops. The battle damage was so great!

    How can we fight this?

    Is the entire army going to be annihilated?

    Cao Cao will never allow this situation to occur.

    "I'm afraid Dongyang Hou is unable to fight anymore." Cao Cao said.

    Zhou Yu quickly understood the meaning of this sentence.

    "We might as well communicate once."

    After reaching a consensus, Cao Cao rode forward and came to the middle of the military formation and said: "Marquis Dongyang, can you come out and talk to me?"

    "Brother Meng Dexian, you are still so energetic!" Liu Kedao.

    I don¡¯t know if it was a compliment or a sarcasm, but Cao Cao smiled and said, "How about we each take a step back and end in a draw?"

    "What if I say no?" Liu Ke said provocatively.

    "Have you seen the soldiers behind me? We can still fight. If the Marquis of Dongyang does not agree, we can continue." Cao Cao said forcefully.

    The soldiers behind you?

    ??????????????????????????????????????? away.

    But Liu Ke didn¡¯t expose it and said: ¡°Then let¡¯s fight!¡±

    "Cao Cao is speechless, why can't he speak properly?"

    "Dongyang Hou, if you don't think about yourself, you should also think about the soldiers under your command."

    "Princes, do you still have the strength to fight?" Liu Ke asked.

    "Fight! Fight! Fight!" The Yangzhou Army burst out with unparalleled forcestrength.

    These slogans are shouted every day, almost out of instinct.

    But it shocked Cao Cao.

    The Yangzhou army is good at conquering and fighting, and its reputation is not in vain.

    Cao Cao could only take a step back and said, "What conditions does Marquis Dongyang have? If it goes too far, we will not agree."

    "Sun Ce's army withdrew from Runan." Liu Kedao.

    Isn¡¯t this too much?

    Cao Cao wanted to criticize, but he was afraid that Liu Ke would attack like crazy. In this case, the allies would be in danger.

    Sun Cejun withdrew from RunanCao Cao closed his eyes, seeming to be thinking about gains and losses.

    Sun Ce must be happy to be able to leave the battlefield after all.

    But if this happens, Yanzhou will be in difficulty.

    Le Jin lost nearly 100,000 horses in Yingchuan, and now in Runan, the casualties are no less than 80,000.

    ?????Can Yanzhou still be defended?

    Cao Cao couldn't make up his mind.

    "It seems that Brother Meng Dexian is not sincere. In this case, you and I will fight again and let the victory or defeat speak for itself." Liu Kedao.

    "Dongyang Hou, wait a minute, let me think twice." Cao Cao said.

    In fact, Cao Cao can retreat directly without agreeing to Liu Ke's conditions, but now it is a battle.

    If you just leave in despair, the word "escape" will definitely be recorded in the history books.

    For Cao Cao, this would be a shame.

    Seeing Cao Cao's hesitation, Zhou Yu stepped forward and said: "Prime Minister, you might as well agree to Dongyang Hou. Now that the army's morale is scattered, what's the point of sticking to Runan? In less than a month, Jingzhou will not be able to adjust."

    Jingzhou can rest, but can Yanzhou?

    Cao Cao suddenly felt tired. After all, he was not that easy to be the leader of the alliance.

    "My lord promises that he will come out again to help the Prime Minister." Zhou Yu said, the premise is that Runan can persist for a long time.

    The remaining hundreds of thousands of troops are waiting for Cao Cao's reply.

    Cao Cao gritted his teeth and said, "Marquis Dongyang, as you wish, Runan belongs to you, but please keep your promise."

    "I, Liu Dingfang, will definitely do what I said. As long as you withdraw from Runan within three days, you and I will make no mistakes." Liu Kedao.

    In other words, as long as the Allies withdraw from Runan within three days, Liu Ke will not attack them by surprise.

    "High five as an oath!" Cao Cao suggested.

    But Liu Ke was not interested and said: "Both armies should withdraw from the battlefield at the same time."

    Cao Cao raised his hand in embarrassment, then took it back timidly.

    So they all paid their dues and retreated their troops. When there was no trace of the allies, many people suddenly fell.

    Not one or two people, but a large group of thousands of people.

    Liu saw the situation and ordered Taishi Ci to patrol a radius of fifty miles, and then allowed everyone to remove their armor.

    The moment the armor is taken off, the body is liberated.

    That feeling is really wonderful, and my steps are much lighter.

    Then the carriages in the military camp were dispatched to transport the armor back to the camp.

    Some sergeants who were sleeping soundly were also thrown into the carriage.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
