After Guan Yu led the army back to the other side, he ordered the former army general to check the sergeants, and then report to him the casualties of the soldiers who crossed the river and the specific number of soldiers who were released.

After checking the number of the former generals, he hurriedly came to report the matter to Guan Yu: "Back to the general, there are more than 4,200 officers and men of our army who crossed the river, and more than 500 people returned during the battle, 173 people were killed in the battle, and a total of 3,485 people were trapped on the shore!" ”

Guan Yu first began to hear that there were not many sergeants killed in the battle, less than two hundred, and his heart suddenly calmed down a lot, and such a result was not unbearable.

However, after he heard that there were more than 3,400 soldiers trapped on the shore, Guan Yu's brows suddenly wrinkled, one person and one war horse, this is nearly 3,500 war horses, if it is converted into money and grain, it is nearly 40,000 gold of money and grain!

Guan Yu frowned slightly, and said, "Three thousand four hundred and eighty-five people? Has this number ever been determined? ”

The partial general hurriedly replied: "Returning to the general, the soldiers trapped on the shore are indeed three thousand four hundred and eighty-five!" The last general has already checked three times, 3,485 people, no more than one, no less! ”

Seeing Guan Yu's bad face, the general knew that he was distressed by so many war horses, and his heart was moved, and he said tentatively: "General, do you really plan to give so many war horses to that Yuan Yao'er?" ”

When Guan Yu heard this person's words, Dan Feng glanced at him with a squint of his eyes and said, "Then what do you think Guan should do?" ”

When the general heard Guan Yu's reply, as if the general had received some kind of affirmation, he said with a sneer: "Yuan Yao'er didn't count the number of soldiers in our army, so what's the matter if the general gives him less?" Besides, all the officers and men of our army have been withdrawn, and as the saying goes, soldiers are not tired of cheating, and the general will not send him even a war horse, what can he do? ”

Guan Yu smiled slightly and said, "Soldiers are not tired of cheating? It seems that General Li Bi knows the essence of the art of war! ”

When the general heard Guan Yu's praise, he bowed his hand and said with a smile: "The general praises falsely, his subordinates can do this, thanks to the general's guidance!" ”

"Oh? Yes! ”

"Can you do this, thanks to Guan Mou's guidance?"

"But how can I ever instruct you, and how dare I take such credit? But aren't you teaching me now? ”

Guan Yu smiled playfully, and then said: "A good soldier is not tired of cheating, you say this to make Guan break his word and get fat?" Could it be that in your opinion, my credibility is not as good as a few thousand war horses? Well?!!! ”

"Plop !!"

The general has been following Guan Yu for a long time, and naturally knows how lofty and arrogant his general is, but now when he heard Guan Yu say such words, his face immediately turned pale and cold sweat broke out, his legs fell to the ground heavily, and he kept bowing: "General, my subordinates don't mean this!" The subordinates just want to reduce some losses for the general, and the subordinates have no disrespect for the general! The subordinates do not choose to speak, insulting the general, and ask the general to forgive him! ……”

Guan Yu didn't have to punish this person, he just wanted to vent in his heart, and more than 4,000 soldiers in the front army were surrounded and killed more than 3,000 people, of which less than 200 were killed or wounded.

If this person leads the troops to profit, and everyone under his command regards death as home, how could the former army be trapped and killed so many people!

Although it is the time of battle, Guan Yu is not easy to change generals rashly, but he can still do this thing by taking the opportunity to knock this person.

Guan Yu watched this person keep bowing down, and even his forehead was a little red and swollen, so he felt a lot more comfortable in his heart, and said in a cold voice: "The handsome tent is noisy, what kind of system!" Okay, get up, do things in the future, if you commit it again, Ben will never be spared! ”

"My subordinates have thanked the general for his grace!"

After thanking Guan Yu for a while, Guan Yu stood up, and Guan Yu continued: "The soldiers are not tired of cheating, that is talking about the time when the victory or defeat is not scored, and now the victory or defeat has been decided, and the general has promised, how can the soldiers not get tired of cheating!" If Ben will break his promise and get fat, won't it become a laughing stock in the world? ”

"Humph! You dispatched 3,500 war horses from the Chinese army to Yuan Yao, and said that the extra war horses were a thank you gift from me, and Guan would definitely repay him in the future! ”

Seeing that this matter had finally passed, the general hurriedly bowed: "No, my subordinates have received orders, so I will go and dispatch the war horses!" ”

"Alright, you all go down!"

"No, I'll retire!"

All the generals knew that Guan Yu was already angry at this time, and they were afraid of provoking Guan Yu again, and they would feel uncomfortable for themselves.

Guan Yu saw everyone retreat, and fell on the couch with his eyes closed.

The defeat in this battle not only lost a lot of soldiers, but also took in 3,500 war horses.

However, these war horses are not good if they are not sent, as the saying goes, if people have no faith, they will not stand, today they will lose their trust in Yuan Yao, and they will lose their trust in the soldiers in the future, how can they lead troops in the future?

Moreover, Yuan Yao's soldiers are brave and brave, and a Yang Zaixing can contain himself when he is about to fight, if there are a few more strong generals, with only the combat strength of his own soldiers and horses, I am afraid that he is not the opponent of Yuan Yao's generals!

If you don't send these war horses, you will lose money at that time, and Yuan Yao will use this as an excuse to wave his army north, and the situation in Xuzhou will inevitably be passive!

At this time, the eldest brother has already exhausted his energy just to guard against Cao Cao, and until the last resort, he can't provoke a strong enemy for the eldest brother to play!

Ay! What a regret for not listening to the words of the Constitution!

……

Five miles away on the south bank of Huaishui, Yuan Yao's army was in formation.

The army waited here for a while, Guan Yu still didn't send the war horses, Yue Yun stared at the direction of the north bank of Huaishui with a worried face, and said: "Lord, we haven't checked the specific number of those soldiers, Guan Yu will really send all the full number of war horses?" ”

Yuan Yao smiled mysteriously and said, "Hmph! Guan Yu is extremely arrogant, if I count the number of soldiers and horses, Guan Yu feels insulted, and may find an excuse not to send the full number of war horses; But if I hadn't counted the number of soldiers and horses, and given him enough face, he would have sent enough horses, and only more, never less! I trust him so much, if he still breaks his word and fattens himself, then won't he break his trust in the world? This kind of thing, Guan Yu will never do! ”

"Boom!! ^”。

While the two were talking, suddenly a thunderous sound of horses' hooves came, and I saw a team of Xuzhou soldiers running over with a group of about three or four thousand war horses.

The leader bowed his hand and said: "I have seen General Hou below, and the general of my family checked the number of soldiers, and there are a total of 3,485 people trapped on the shore!" The general of my family ordered the villain to send 3,500 war horses to the general, and asked the general to check it! ”
