The battle ended, and more than 90,000 Xianbei Tartars were killed, more than 155,000 healthy Xianbei Tartars were captured, more than 170,000 war horses were seized, countless other weapons and food were seized; Mijia, Queji, and Kebineng San were killed in the chaos, Suli and Tadun were captured, and the leaders of other tribes and clan leaders were basically killed. The Lu Ning army suffered more than 30,000 casualties, of which more than 18,000 were killed and seriously injured, and nearly half of the soldiers of the Brutal Bear Army lost nearly 5,000.

The soldiers were cleaning the battlefield. Lu Ning asked them to collect all the dead cattle and horses and immediately peel them and pick them up. This is a good thing and must not be wasted. After the battlefield was cleaned up, Lu Ning's soldiers were resting in place and waiting for the next stage of combat mission.

Lu Ning told the soldiers that the more than 15,000 soldiers sacrificed by Lu Ning's army should be buried, and the national heroes and martyrs cemetery were built here, and the names of the sacrificed soldiers were engraved on the archway, so that the world would remember their merits. They sacrificed their youthful and precious lives for the border and safety of the Han Dynasty. They are the real heroes of our Han people and the real warriors. Our Han people are getting dark, and the Lu Ning's army must advance again. The Lu Ning's army must make an effort to eliminate Gongsun Zan. Gongsun Zan's army is attacking the small border counties of Lu Ning Shanggu. The soldiers guarding the city of Lu Ning retreated into Shanggu City while defending. Of course, Shanggu City is now a urn city, and Gongsun Zan's army cannot be attacked. Just the eighty or ninety thousand people in his hands, it is a dream.

However, while the Lu Ning army was preparing to fight the Xianbei army, the economy under Gongsun Zan's jurisdiction continued to deteriorate. His entire army had as many as 160,000 soldiers, and he had so much food to support him. Moreover, under the plunder of Lu Ning in recent years, the Youzhou Governor Liu Yu sent all the food and grass that he could get to Lu Ning's army. Liu Yu's own soldiers were still not full, so what would there be any remaining food and grass? In addition, before Gongsun Zan attacked Youzhou, Lu Ning asked Taishi Ci to buy all the food and supplies in Youzhou merchants at a price of 40% higher than the market price. Gongsun Zan captured Youzhou and thought he would get a lot of food and grass, but he didn't know that Youzhou was an empty shell. Even the people fled to Dai County and went to the valley. Of course, the 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers under Liu Yu who were short of guns and armor were obtained.

Gongsun Zan originally wanted to use troops to Lu Ning's military service in Shanggu last year. Because of Yuan Shao's instigation, he became a gun in Yuan Shao's hand and was teased by Yuan Shao once. He was furious and fought with Yuan Shao, but he did not take any advantage. This year, he really couldn't support it. In addition, in the past two months, Lu Ning threw out 2 or 3 billion yuan of five-month old coins to his jurisdiction, which made his economy even more deeply.

Gongsun Zan and his civil and military officials were studying whether to attack Shanggu or not. The military generals all supported the attack Shanggu in unison. Only Tian Yu and Guan Jing firmly opposed it. They believed that when the Lu Ning army attacked Shanggu in decisive battle against the Xianbei coalition forces, they would be condemned by the people of the world, and Shanggu was not so easy to attack.

Gongsun psang: "I also know that I will be condemned by the people of the world, but what can we do now to get out of the predicament? Where does the 160,000 army of food and grass come from? If there is no food and grass, then our more than 100,000 army will be disbanded. Without the army, we will be wiped out by other princes. Think about it, we can only take advantage of the Big Bear and the Tatars coalition army to attack his Shanggu during the decisive battle. As long as our army captures the Shanggu, we will obtain a large amount of food and grass, and then cut off the retreat of the Big Bear Army. I will annihilate the main force of the Big Bear Army at one time. What are we still afraid of Big Bear? If we don't attack the Big Bear Army, then there is only Yuan Shao who attacks Jizhou. He has a grudge against us and a grudge against me to kill my brother, but our army has no certainty to win. Our only way out now is to join forces with the Xianbei Tartars to annihilate the Big Bear, so what are we afraid of?"

After hearing this, Tian Yu shook his head. Shanggu was so easy to fight, and the key areas were occupied by General Taishici long ago. "Lord, how sure is your army to attack Shanggu? How many days will it take for our army to attack Shanggu? Once it cannot be attacked in time, tens of thousands of troops in Jinyang City will come to kill the generals at any time, and then we will be completely finished. Can the 250,000 Xianbei clan coalition really defeat the Big Bear army? Big Bear is in Dai County, and there are now 90,000 troops in Shanggu. What is the ability of the Xianbei Tartars to say that it is the 90,000 army of Big Bear? Last year, Big Bear used only 50,000 troops to eliminate the 150,000 Huns coalition, so his 90,000 army can not defeat the 250,000 Xianbei clan coalition?"

Gongsun Fan said: "From the reconnaissance of our army in the past few days, we have seen that there are 10,000 troops stationed in Dai County. It is estimated that during the decisive battle between Daxiong and the Xianbei Tartars coalition, the defending soldiers in Shanggu would only be 10,000 troops. Daxiong is now 70,000 against the 250,000 cavalry of the Tartars coalition. Even if Daxiong defeats the 70,000 cavalry of his 70,000 cavalry, his 70,000 army will not be left. If Daxiong's 90,000 army defends Shanggu City, the Xianbei Tartars coalition will not have any chance of victory. Daxiong has sent 70,000 troops to me.

It is a bit hard to say that his 70,000 army can survive by 20,000 or 30,000. Even if there are 70,000 cavalry, it will definitely not be able to defeat 250,000 Xianbei cavalry. Will the Big Bear's Feixiong Army be stronger than the White Bear's Yizong? The 100,000 defenders in the Shanggu, and our army can always attack in a short time. Youbeiping has 30,000 troops left to garrison, Fan Yang has 20,000 garrison, and Yuyang has 10,000 garrison."

After hearing this, Guan Jing thought, is it so easy? Aren’t you taking it for granted? This is just your estimate, how sure can you be? "If the Big Bear Army can quickly eliminate the 250,000 Xianbei Tartar cavalry, even if he only has 20,000 soldiers left, what chance of our army win if we support Shanggu garrison? The tens of thousands of Big Bear Army in Jinyang City are not for a good meal. Wouldn’t they come to support? As long as the Shanggu supports the army in Jinyang City arrives, our army will be completely finished. Besides, our army has food to support long-term combat. If we send troops, we only have one month’s food and grass, unless we go to grab the food from the Big Bear Field, the food in the Big Bear Field will mature in a month. But in that case, our army will also face the anti-attack of the Big Bear Army. In short, I am against sending troops to fight against the Big Bear."
