Chapter 72: Jiangdong Little Overlord
Cao Cao reined in his war horse, looked at the Jingzhou army fleeing on the battlefield, and couldn't help laughing, "Help me this day, Liu Jingsheng will be defeated!" β
The tiger and leopard rode on a rampage on the battlefield, and the ground was also soaked with blood, turning into a dark red mud. The corpses were lying upside down, some from the Jingzhou army and some from the Cao armyγγγγγγ The ownerless war horse, neighing on the battlefield. In the light of the fire, there were stumps and broken arms, as well as pools of blood.
Cao Cao pulled out his sword, and shouted in the direction of the defeated retreat of the Jingzhou army: "Pass my order, wave the army to cover the killing for ten miles and then collect the troops!" β
Xu Chu and Dian Wei did not chase down the defeated Jingzhou army with the army, the two of them knew their position very well, they were guards, they could leave Cao Cao and Guo Jia temporarily, but they could not leave for a long time, otherwise if one of them was damaged, it would bring huge damage to Cao's army.
Sun Ce also did not pursue, not that he didn't want to pursue, but he was really powerless to pursue, seeing the defeat and escape of the Jingzhou army, that breath dispersed, the whole person almost collapsed, fell directly from the horse, and fell to the ground, so frightened that Sun Jiao and Sun Ben hurried to help him up, and then Sun Ce let out a snoring sound, and the two knew that Sun Ce was so tired that he fell asleep.
Also, it was a rapid march for a few days and nights, and he also participated in two major battles in a row, especially against the Jingzhou Army, he took the lead and attacked Liu Biao himself, killing hundreds of enemies alone, and then knocked Liu Biao himself off the horse, reversing this great disadvantage, and turning a defeat with almost no suspense into a big victory.
Cao Cao and Guo Jia, under the escort of Xu Chu and Dian Wei, came to the battlefield, and when they saw Sun Ce who seemed to be fished out of plasma, Cao Cao couldn't help but be more satisfied with Sun Ce, he took two steps forward, took off the red robe on his body, and gently covered Sun Ce's body.
Guo Jia grabbed Sun Ce's wrist and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Sun Ce's pulse was calm and he was not seriously injured.
Guo Jia couldn't help but admire: "Bo Fu's battle, like a bully when he was young. β
Cao Cao listened to it and said with a smile, "Hahaha! This is really the East Little Overlord also! β
Guo Jia listened to Cao Cao's evaluation, and his heart was really whose it should be, even if Sun Ce was not independent and did not go to Jiangdong to open up territory, the name of Jiangdong's little overlord was still his. So, what about his life? Also, my lifeγγγγγγ
Then Cao Cao said to Sun Jiao on the side, "You first lead a hundred horsemen to send Bo Fu back to Xuchang", and then pointed to Sun Ben, "Bo Fu's department is temporarily under your command." β
Cao Cao walked alone in front of Liu Xie, the son of heaven, and the two knelt down on one knee and performed a military etiquette in front of Liu Xie.
"Minister Cao Cao, please see Your Majesty. Please forgive the ministers for being in armor and not being able to perform the big salute. β
Liu Xie was deeply touched by Cao Cao's words, why? Because Cao Cao did not mention his official position, he should generally call himself the general of the queen and the pastor of Yanzhou, but Cao Cao did not, which means that Cao Cao put his position very low, and he was also telling Liu Xie that he was a minister, no matter how big his official position was, he was still a courtier of the Han Dynasty, and a courtier of Liu Xie, the son of his Han Dynasty, why didn't Liu Xie move? I think that even Situ Wang Yun couldn't do this at the beginning.
Then, Liu Xie asked, "General Cao, who are the scribe and the two generals just now?" Why didn't they come? β
Cao Cao replied, "That scribe is the minister's military advisor sacrificial wine Guo Jia, and the black-faced general is his bodyguard Dian Wei, and the other general is the minister's bodyguard Xu Chu." The three of them went to count the casualties, and by the way, they went to collect the bodies of our soldiers and soldiers, and prepared to take them back to Yanzhou for burial. β
Of course, Cao Cao will not tell Liu Xie, Guo Jia, a brainless person who doesn't like to kneel in front of others, the prince of heaven and earth, as an orphan Guo Jia, the only people who can make him kneel are Li Bo, the gentleman of Yingchuan Academy, and his master Guiguzi Wang Ye, and everyone else, don't even think about it. He didn't even kneel to Cao Cao, what are you Liu Xie? It's just a new son of heaven who was put on the throne, mediocre and incompetent, if it is an emperor like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Guangwu, it may be worth Guo Jia to kneel, but Liu Xie is worthy of him Guo Fengxiao kneel? Of course, it was mainly Guo Jia's thoughts in later generations, so he was very resistant to kneeling, not to mention that Guo Jia was bent on purging Cao Cao to usurp the Han.
As for Dian Wei, he is Guo Jia's personal guard, infected by Guo Jia's thoughts, Dian Wei can kneel Guo Jia, and it is not impossible to kneel Cao Cao and Xun Yu, as for the others, he is an orphan and has no teacher, how can he kneel to others? Xu Chu is the same, he only kneels to Cao Cao, Guo Jia and Xun Yu can also let him kneel, and the others don't think about it. Especially the so-called Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty, if it wasn't for the incompetence of the Han Court, which led to the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he would have been able to stay in the county of Qiaojun well, so why would he have to move to the mountains to avoid the war and live a hard life.
In a word, in the eyes of these three people, the Son of Heaven is a bird, why let them kneel?
Liu Xie understood, but praised the three of them for their loyalty and love for soldiers like sons.
Cao Cao said in his heart that Liu Xie was afraid that he was not stupid by the Xiliang army, and he really had to be loyal to his duties, and these three people should stay by his side.
Then, the generals who chased and killed the Jingzhou army also came back, and they captured a lot, and beheaded more than 2,000 Jingzhou soldiers, which was considered the previous capture, and the Jingzhou army lost 16,000 men and horses, not counting the nowhere soldiers who fled, and the Cao army lost no more than 1,000 people in this whole battle, which is a miracle.
Cao Cao had the bodies of the dead soldiers collected, their bodies cremated, the ashes placed in a clay pot, and the sergeant had his name written on the outside of the clay pot.
This is proposed by Guo Jia, once the success is ten thousand bones, how many soldiers are buried in other places, but it is not known. So he proposed that Cao Cao let all the sacrificed soldiers have a place to return after death, for which Cao Cao specially opened up a piece of land, Guo Jia named Zhuang Mausoleum, for burial of them, and also built a Zhuang Pavilion, a total of seven floors, for them to put a spiritual seat in it. They are particular about the position and height of their spiritual positions, and they will be assigned according to their positions and meritorious deeds. These two things, to be honest, the cost is not large, but it allows the soldiers of the Cao army to die for it, as a soldier who does not know when he will die, everyone hopes that he can enter the Zhuang Mausoleum and Zhuang Pavilion after his death, and the higher the position in the Zhuang Pavilion, the better, and he also works very the battlefield.
