Cao Jun's escape can be said to have lost his armor and was extremely embarrassed. It was a matter of his family's life, and Cao Cao didn't care about any face, so he ran to the Yellow River in the south in a panic.

After running for nearly forty miles, I arrived at the junction of the Yellow River, where there was a ferry where some fishermen lived.

"Boatman, can you cross the river with us?"

Seeing that they were all fierce and vicious, and they all had murderous guys in their hands, how dare they refuse, and hurriedly said: "The boat is small, and the ferry can be crossed, but the horse is afraid that it can't." ”

"Thank you." Cao Cao was the first to jump on the boat, and Cao Hong and Xiahou Yuan were on the same boat with him. Xiahoudun and Cao Chun took a few retinues and boarded another boat. The rest of the soldiers scrambled for the ship.

Cao Cao stood on the bow of the boat and shouted, "All the soldiers, all line up and come one by one." I, Cao Mengde, will not leave you behind! ”

Cao Hong hurriedly urged the boatman to cross the river and leave quickly.

Seven or eight boats, large and small, crossed the river. Halfway through, Ryuzo had already led people to kill, and at this time there were no boats left by the river, and the remaining soldiers had nowhere to escape.

Ryuzo was about to order a massacre, but the centurion proposed to surrender. This group of soldiers has nowhere to go, and if they are cornered and fight to the death with our army, our army will only increase its losses.

Thinking that it was feasible, Ryuzo shouted, "Lay down your weapons and surrender quickly!" Spare you from dying! ”

Behind them is the surging Yellow River mud and sand, in front of them is the dragoon battalion that killed them, their main general has already fled in a boat, whether to surrender or resist, the choice is not difficult.

Cao Jun laid down their weapons one after another, knelt on the ground and surrendered. Ryusan ordered the men to collect their weapons and escort the captives back to Chaoge. He also ordered the cavalry to shoot arrows at Cao Cao's ships, whether they could be shot or not, to have a suppressive effect.

After crossing the Yellow River, he finally escaped into Chenliu, and there were less than 100 people left around Cao Cao. "Boatman, wait a minute."

Cao Cao stopped the boatman who was about to return, suddenly drew his sword and stabbed him to death, and ordered: "Kill the boatman!" ”

The boatmen were shocked, they never expected that they would still be dead, "Help! ”

The soldiers received the order and did not hesitate to kill the boatman.

Xiahou Yuan was puzzled: "Lord, why is this so? ”

Cao Cao said as a matter of course: "They are all from Hanoi, and today our army has suffered heavy losses in Hanoi, and they will not escape the involvement!" Death is not unjust! ”

Xiahou Yuan couldn't understand it even more, Guo Yi was a native of Changshan, Jizhou, according to this logic, wouldn't he want to kill Han Fu first? What's more, a war is a war, and these boatmen just rely on water to earn a living, and they don't say anything about collecting boat fares, so it doesn't make sense to kill them like this.

"Lord, these are innocent people, aren't we raising troops to fight Dong just for the people of the world?"

Cao Cao burst out with another sentence, "They are so familiar with the waterways of the Yellow River, if they are allowed to go back, Guo Yi will let them teach the navy, and it will be a great disaster for our army!" ”

This sentence makes a little sense, but it still can't change the reality of indiscriminate killing of innocents. Crossing the river, Guo Yi needs a few boatmen to teach? People are the characters in Yangzhou Water Town!

Xiahou Yuan wanted to say, but was interrupted by Cao Cao, "It's okay for him Guo Yi to burn Hanoi, but can't I kill a few boatmen with Cao Mengde?" Don't say more! ”

Chaoge, Government Hall.

There are two heads on the platform, one is Wang Kuang's and the other is Cao Ren's.

Guo Yi's face was full of happiness, and his smiling eyes narrowed. What he was happy about was not these two heads, but the person who took them off - Zhang He!

Unexpectedly, Zhang He, one of the four court pillars in Hebei, was actually a soldier in his dragoon camp! It turned out that he had joined the army since the Yellow Turban Uprising, and he was also a petty official. However, when Zhao Yun recruited troops and horses for Guo Yi, he admired Guo Yi's name, so he gave up his official position to sign up and became a member of the dragoon battalion.

It's just that when he was in Liangzhou, he was inconspicuous and was not discovered by Guo Yi. Later, after the formation of the dragoon battalion, Long Yi and his team, whether they were strategizing or attacking the city, were the choice of the moment, and it was even more difficult for the people under their hands to get ahead. But Guo Yi was extremely generous to his subordinates, and he won all battles and had a bright future. The soldiers of the dragoon battalion all felt that they had a head, and Zhang He stayed all the time, but he also relied on his own skills to become a centurion.

In the dragoon camp, the centurion is already the highest official position under the "dragon" name!

If it weren't for Long Yi's injury today and he couldn't go to the battlefield, I'm afraid that Zhang He would be buried! After all, in the previous battles, Long Yi was the first to take the lead and take the first place to take down the head of the enemy general!

Guo Yi sighed with emotion: "Fan Xin! It seems that there is something wrong with our talent selection system! Such talents have only been discovered today. ”

Fan Xin didn't think so, but said: "Definitely." There is no problem with our army's personnel selection system. Zhang He can always follow the lord, isn't it because our talent selection system gives him hope to get ahead? What's more, the dragoon battalion has grown from 800 people at the beginning to 1,500 people today, and centurion is already the highest official position. In the past few years, the southern and northern wars have been able to go so smoothly precisely because the officers at all levels are very good. ”

"That's just as well." Since Guo Yi chose to stay in the command of the big tent, the military orders can be carried out, and the battle can always defeat the enemy, all because the small captain of the three-three system and the big centurion have extremely high military literacy and strong execution. If it were an ordinary team, Guo Yi would not be able to implement the three-three system at all.

"Long Yi, you won the battle this time and discovered talents, you should be rewarded! What reward do you want? ”

"Two dragon bone pills." As the general of the dragon riding battalion, he is very aware of the efficacy of the dragon bone pill, this matter is also an internal benefit in the dragon riding camp, they can survive from the battlefield, the dragon bone pill has most of the credit, otherwise it will be a dead end if someone is cut casually. How can it be like now, as long as it is not a fatal injury, it can be recovered in three or five days.

"You're going to fix your ass, I can understand that." Guo Yi couldn't help but smile and asked, "Why two?" ”

Long San said earnestly, "The inner person can't bear the pain of running around, she has been weak and sick recently, although she has a doctor to take care of her, but it worries me too much, I hope to cure her once and for all." ”

"No problem!" Guo Yi stood up and walked in front of Long Yi, put two dragon bone pills in his hands, one lower grade and one medium grade, and said to everyone: "Men should take time to get along with their families. If you don't value your family, you're not a man at all! ”

The generals shouted, "Understood! ”

"Zhang He, you have made great contributions this time, and you should be rewarded!"

Zhang He shirked and said: "It is our duty to attack the city and pull out the village. What's more, the thief army is just a rabble, what is the merit? Subordinates dare not be rewarded! ”

"Nonsense!" Guo Yi reprimanded: "You are not a high wind and bright festival!" In the past, Confucius's students ransomed slaves and did not go to receive the reward, and they were angrily reprimanded by Confucius! Another student was praised for saving people and receiving a cow. You have made meritorious contributions today, but you also want to be scolded? ”

Zhang He is a smart person, and his strategy is not bad, so he immediately figured it out, and half-knelt and arched his hand and said: "My subordinates want to be generals!" ”

"That's right!" Guo Yi helped him up, and at the same time said to everyone: "As long as you make meritorious service, you should be rewarded!" Do you understand? ”

"Understood!"
