After defeating Xue Rengao, the Liang Army spent a considerable amount of time cleaning up the aftermath.
Considering the military strength at the time, Xue Ju and Xue Rengao's father-and-son duo were indeed more powerful than the Liang forces, and this battle also yielded a significant number of cavalry.
In later times, some people asked, if Lord Qin hadn't been there, how far could Emperor Gaozu of Liang have gone?
And the conclusion most people came to after serious analysis was: it's very likely no one would even remember the Liang as a regional power, because at the battle of Qianshui against Xue Rengao, they would have probably been annihilated already.
After all, in the first Battle of Qianshui, Lord Qin fell ill, and Liu Wenjing and Yin Kaishan, the two great founding contributors, nearly led all the elite of the Liang Army to their doom in one fell swoop.
