On the bank of the Yushui River, the camp of the Cao army!

Zixiao, have the casualties ever been counted?

In the big tent of Cao Cao's army, Cao Cao was in the first place, below, Cao Ren, Xu Huang, Cao Chun, Yu Ban, Le Jin, Xun You, Man Pet and other people were lined up on both sides, Cao Cao asked Cao Ren who was in the first place on the left hand with a serious face!

Back to the lord, the specific casualties have been counted, and the casualties are large, speaking of this, Cao Ren's face couldn't help but show a gloomy color!

Hearing Cao Ren's words, Cao Cao's already serious expression became more solemn, and he asked Cao Ren again, what are the specific casualties!

In this battle, our army suffered a total of 45,600 casualties, of which 3,000 were killed and captured, and more than 600 were seriously injured and more than 1,000 were lightly injured.

After hearing Cao Ren say the specific casualties, Cao Cao couldn't help but hiss, his heart sank, and he became silent!

Seeing Cao Cao's brows tightly locked, his face contemplative, and everyone in the tent did not dare to say anything to disturb, Cao Ren, Xu Huang and other generals just stood aside, waiting for Cao Cao to speak, Xun You, Man Zhong and other strategists frowned like Cao Cao and began to think!

The reason why Cao Jun suffered such a large casualty was unexpected, but it was also reasonable!

Previously, there were 3,000 Cao troops and 300 tiger guards who followed Cao Cao into the city and surrendered, and in the end, the Cao army that broke out with Cao Cao was only more than 600 people, and more than 2,000 people were lost in the breakthrough battle alone, and these people were either killed or captured, as far as the current situation is concerned, those captured Cao troops, Zhang Xiu will not be put back to Cao Cao at all!

When Cao Ren led the army to attack the city, because of the darkness, Cao Ren only attacked twice and did not continue to attack, yes, the casualties were not much, and the Cao army killed in the battle was only more than 100 people, but most of the Cao army with minor and serious injuries came from here!

When Lejin ambushed Zhang Xiu, because Zhang Xiu wanted to retreat, he did not entangle with Cao Jun more, yes, Cao Jun killed only dozens of people, and there were not many wounded, but Zhang Xiujun was caught off guard by Cao Jun, coupled with the lack of fighting spirit and no intention to fight, but was seriously killed and injured by Cao Jun!

In the end, when Cao Ren and Zhang Xiu encountered, Cao Ren was caught off guard and the troops were insufficient, and Zhang Xiu was killed by Zhang Xiu at the beginning, but fortunately, Cao Chun's rescue was timely, and when Zhang Xiu hurriedly retreated, he was chased and killed by Cao Ren for a while.

Cao Cao in order to take Zhang Xiu to relieve his worries, it can be said that he brought out all the soldiers and horses he could bring, however, Cao Cao's territory belongs to the land of four wars, and there are many enemies around him who need to be guarded against.

In fact, in the era of cold weapons, casualties of more than one-tenth are considered to be quite large, if the casualties exceed two-tenths, and the main general does not order the withdrawal of the army, it is likely to turn into a major rout because of a person fleeing, such as Cao Cao's casualties of nearly one-third, only in a small battle or a few cases such as Cao Cao being besieged!

Now that the losses are so huge, Cao Cao also has to carefully consider his next move, if he fights, how to fight? If so, how?

…………！

Wanxian County Ya, Zhang Xiu is also discussing with his subordinate generals to deal with Cao Cao!

Hu Che'er, in the battle the day before yesterday, have the specific casualties been counted?

Back to the lord, the casualties have been roughly counted, in this battle, our army suffered more than 3,000 casualties, of which about 1,400 were killed and captured, most of these people were caused by Cao Cao's desperate ambush and Zhongle Jin when Cao Cao broke through!

Among the remaining 1,600 people, about 400 were seriously injured, and more than 200 of these people could not go to the battlefield again even if they recovered in the future, but the remaining 100 or so may recover and go to the battlefield again!

There were about 1,200 people who were slightly wounded, and 800 of them could immediately go to the battlefield to fight the enemy if necessary, while the other 400 needed to recuperate for some time!

Zhang Xiujun is stationed in the county seat, and there are many doctors in the army and doctors in the county.

Zhang Xiu was slightly relieved when she heard Hu Che'er's words, and then said to Hu Che'er, Cao Cao is still stationed on the bank of the Yushui River, and you pass on the general's order, from now on, the four gates in the city will no longer be opened, until Cao Cao withdraws!

Promise! Hu Che'er clenched his fists and took the order, and then stood back in place!

Zhang Xiu immediately said to another lieutenant, the four gates of the city should also strengthen their vigilance, send more people to patrol, and report to Ben General immediately if they find any abnormalities!

Promise! That captain Zhang Xiu also reported his fist to receive his order, and he promised with a bang!

After that, Zhang Xiu discussed with his subordinates, and instructed the rest of the generals how to behave.

…………！

Wen He, in your opinion, how will Cao Cao behave? After everyone in the hall went out, Zhang Xiu asked Jia Xu again!

Although Zhang Xiu's arrangement was completely to deal with Cao Cao's army to attack, Zhang Xiu's heart was unwilling to continue to fight with Cao Cao, after all, Zhang Xiu's men and horses were not many, and the territory occupied was not large, if the loss was too large, even if Cao Cao was repulsed, Zhang Xiu would lose the capital to continue to become a prince!

According to the hypocrisy opinion, Cao Cao should call off the truce and withdraw the army back to Xudu!

Hearing Jia Xu's words, Zhang Xiu asked with a happy face, is what Wen He said true?

If Xu is not bad, Cao Cao will withdraw his troops eight or nine times out of ten, without waiting for Zhang Xiu to ask, Jia Xu explained that Cao Cao's power is much greater than that of the general, however, Cao Cao also has many opponents, if Cao Cao loses too much here, it will undoubtedly give his opponent a chance, even if Cao Cao takes Wancheng, it will be worth the loss!

After a pause, Jia Xu said again, Cao Cao has just welcomed the Son of Heaven, Yuan Shu and last year openly proclaimed the emperor, if Cao Cao does not solve Yuan Shu as soon as possible, others will definitely follow suit, if at that time, Cao Cao will lose the greatest benefit that welcoming the Son of Heaven brings him, yes, Cao Cao will definitely withdraw his army!

I have to say that Jia Xu's wisdom and his grasp of people's hearts and human nature are among the strongest people in the world!

…………！

Gongda, what should our army do now?

In Cao Cao's big tent of the Chinese army, after Cao Cao pondered for a long time, he finally opened his mouth to ask Xun You!

Xun You obviously guessed that Cao Cao would ask this question, so he had already thought about answering Cao Cao's question!

Back to the lord, in my opinion, it is not appropriate for our army to continue to attack Wancheng at the moment, and we should return to Xudu!

Immediately, Xun You said the key points one by one to Cao Cao and everyone know, and what Xun You said and Jia Xu's words can be described as the same!

In fact, with Cao Cao's ability, how could he not know the key, however, Cao Cao's power lies in the fact that he clearly has the intention to withdraw the army, but he prefers to say it through Xun You's mouth!

The reason is also very simple, as the lord, this kind of order is not easy to say directly, and the other is to let everyone know the key, and by the way, strengthen what you think in your heart!

Yes, when Xun You finished speaking, Cao Cao ordered that tomorrow he will lead 3,000 soldiers and horses to garrison Wuyin, and the rest of the men and horses will return to the dynasty with the division!
