Soon after everyone finished counting the battle damage, the casualty statistics of Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan were also sent.

Xiahoudun's Qingzhou army lost more than 2,000 men; Xiahou Yuan's Leopard Army lost more than 3,000 people.

Good guys, lost more than 23,000 people in one stop.

Still, the damage is worth it.

The losses of Yuan's army were several times greater than theirs.

Yan Liang's Bingzhou wolf ride was disabled, and it was the kind that was crippled and beaten on the ground.

Yan Liang's Bingzhou wolf cavalry only had 1,300 people left, and directly lost 4,700 people; Yuan's army lost more than 18,000 ordinary cavalry and 28,000 infantry troops; Zhang He's Euphorbia also lost more than 800 people.

According to statistics, the losses of Yuan's army were as high as 52,800 men

With a casualty ratio of nearly one to three, the Yuan army took the initiative to attack in this battle, and also took advantage of the time to raid the Cao army.

It can be said that Cao Jun won a big victory, but the faces of the generals did not have the slightest joy after the big victory, but they all looked solemn.

Cao's army now has more than 111,000 remaining troops, while Yuan's army still has more than 156,000 men. (Counting the losses of Cao Yuan's two battles, White Horse and Gourd)

Cao Jun's luck was also excellent for this battle to win this result, and many of the factors were difficult to replicate.

Xi Zhicai's vigilance, Yu Ban's intuition, the effect of the gluttonous battalion and the iron arm battalion in dealing with generals and cavalry, Modao's restraint on cavalry, Cao Chun and Lejin's timely reinforcement, Cao Cao's personal battle, and Lejin's timely support on the mountain, these are all indispensable!

Without one factor, today's result may be that Officer Cao's camp was breached, Cao's army suffered heavy losses, and the battle between Cao and Yuan completely fell to Yuan Shao's side.

Cao Jun can't have such luck every time, if Yuan Shao continues to be consumed like this, Cao Jun's strength will be exhausted by Yuan Shao sooner or later!

After a few days, Guo Jia's health on the Gourd Battlefield improved a lot, and he told Cao Hong a few words, and then heard that Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were fighting, and immediately rushed back to the Guandu camp.

Cao Cao and the generals who heard that Guo Jia was back were also happy. Guo Jia has brought them victory after victory over the years, and everyone subconsciously regards Guo Jia as the pillar of Cao Jun, and Guo Jia's return has also brought them confidence.

Guo Jia does not have such confidence as theirs.

At first, he felt that the key factor in defeating Yuan's army was grain and grass.

If the troops were to raid the granary of the Yuan army and burn the grain and grass of the Yuan army, the Yuan army itself would be defeated, and they would not need to do it.

So Guo Jia asked Man Chong to send a large number of Spiegel guards to investigate the situation of the black nest.

After all, this is the place where Yuan Jun was originally stockpiled for grain in history, and Guo Jia also guessed that Yuan Jun might still store grain and grass here.

However, the results of the full-favored investigation made Guo Jia a little disappointed.

Yuan Shao did not build the granary in this place.

Cao Cao, Guo Jia, Man Chong, Xi Zhicai and others were also fiercely discussing the possible place for Yuan Jun to store grain. Man Chong also intensified the investigation of Ming Jingwei, and at the same time ordered Zhu Gai, the envoy of Jizhou Zhenfu, to investigate the grain transportation route, and Wang Tu, the envoy of Yanzhou Zhenfu, to investigate the transportation line of Yuan's army's military grain.

But I have to say that Xu Yu is indeed a good player at espionage.

In just a few years, the scale of Fengmanlou has faintly caught up with Mingjingtang with the strong support of Yuan Shao.

Man Chong is now able to win over Xu You, and it is also by virtue of the background of Mingjingtang and the espionage methods and ideas instilled in him by Guo Jia.

But for a while, Man Pet couldn't find out where Yuan Jun was storing grain.

There were countless open and secret battles on the front line, and some people in the rear of Cao's army also began to be restless and moved their minds.

Xu Du

Sikong Fuzhong

A handsome and slender young man was sitting in Cao Cao's seat, with several scribes sitting below.

This person is Cao Cao's eldest son, Cao Ang

Below Cao Ang, the chief on the right is naturally the deputy Sikong Xun Yu, and the chief on the left is Zhang Miao. However, surprisingly, Han Hao and Zao Yi also sat in the second seat on the right and left respectively. (The Han Dynasty is honored by the right)

Xun Yu should sit in the first place on the right side, Han Hao and Zao Yu can only sit in the second seat on both sides, in fact, many people were a little puzzled at first, but after Cao Ang and Xun Yu explained the reason, everyone was a little relieved.

Han Hao and Zao are only the promoters of the Tuntian Order, and the two of them are now also in control of Cao Jun's food lifeline, and their status is naturally rising.

Especially Han Hao, because he also has good military ability, he also took over the task of transporting grain and grass.

Everyone was already having a headache to worry about logistics every day, and His Majesty the Son of Heaven and many ministers in the palace, especially the old ministers, were becoming more and more restless.

Recently, Si Li's envoy Ding Fei and Yuzhou's envoy Wu Zhou both sent a lot of information to Cao Ang and Xun Yu.

Liu Xie, the son of heaven, summoned the abbot Fu Wan and his uncle Dong Cheng into the palace on the grounds that Empress Fu and Concubine Dong missed their families, and set up a banquet to entertain the two. The Son of Heaven Liu Xie, the national uncle Fu Wan and the national uncle Dong Cheng were all drunk.

Three days later, Guozhang Fu Wan visited his uncle Dong Cheng, Dong Cheng set up a banquet to entertain Fu Wan, and at the same time invited Taiwei Yang Biao, Wei Wei Zhou Zhong to serve Ma Yu, Huang Kui to serve Zhongzhong, Doctor Chong (Chong second tone) Shao, Zuo Zhonglang General Liu Fan and others to the banquet.

This vote is all a sworn friend of the Han family, which also made Cao Ang and others vigilant, worried that these people would do things at the critical time of the war.

But they can't just arrest them without a good reason. These people all have a high reputation among the officials, and if there is no evidence to arrest them directly, it will cause chaos, and that is really to trap themselves.

Cao Ang looked at Xun Yu and rubbed his eyebrows. Dealing with these government affairs was already a headache for a young man, but fortunately, Xun Yu and countless staff members supported him. As a result, these people still want to come out and do things, and he is now somewhat considerate of his father's feelings.

"Uncle Wenruo, what do you think?" Cao Ang set his eyes on Xun Yu, wanting to hear what he had to say about this matter.

Xun Yu frowned, as if he was choosing something, and did not immediately respond to Cao Ang's words.

"Childe, just leave this matter to me, but in the next few days, government affairs will be more troublesome Childe."

Cao Ang thought that Xun Yu should have some ideas, and said happily, "Then there is Uncle Lao Wenruo." ”

Xun Yu sighed and slowly left Sikong Mansion.

Cao Ang looked at the back of Xun Yu leaving, his face solemn.

Before Cao Cao and Guo Jia left, they both reminded themselves that all matters involving the Son of Heaven and the Han family's dead friends could be handed over to Xun Yu to deal with, but he had to keep an eye on it.

Xun Yu can be trusted, but not all!
