The three major generals of Cao Hong, Yu Ban, and Man Chong were captured, the morale of the Cao army fell to the bottom, and the crushing of the Cao army by the Wei army turned into a massacre. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

At dusk, the battle ended, all 20,000 Cao troops were annihilated, more than 11,000 were killed in battle and mended, and more than 6,000 people were sent to mine iron ore and copper mines, and only 2,000 people could barely be incorporated into the army.

Among them, more than 1,000 Cao troops escaped from both flanks, but they were soon caught up by the Wei cavalry and all of them were annihilated, in order to keep the secret of the three treasures of the cavalry.

If it leaks out now, once Cao Cao and Yuan Shao's cavalry are equipped with bilateral stirrups, Gaoqiao saddles, and horse iron hooves, it will be a disaster for Wei Yan, although it will not be a catastrophe, but the road to hegemony will obviously become much more bumpy.

In fact, there are hundreds of thousands of people under Wei Yan's rule now, and a large number of displaced people are pouring in every day, and it is difficult to keep the secret, but even so, it is necessary to keep it as much as possible, and the later the secret is leaked, the more beneficial it is for Wei Yan.

After the war, Wei Yan found that although he defeated 20,000 Cao troops this time, he was also greatly injured.

In this battle, he lost nearly 10,000 people.

In addition to the more than 5,000 thieves of the three thieves, almost all of them were annihilated by the Cao army, Chen Zhi, who fought head-on, and Liao Hua and Guan Hai, who were ambushed on both wings, all suffered great losses.

Cao soldiers are mostly elite soldiers in a hundred battles, whether it is martial arts or combat experience, or even equipment, they are all strengthened by Wei soldiers, if it is not for Wei Yan to ambush him, if it is not for Wei Yan to contain the three generals of the enemy army, I am afraid that the winner of this battle will be the Cao army, not the Wei army.

Wei Yan couldn't help but rejoice, fortunately he had compassion at that time, and did not send his own men and horses to rob grain to lure the enemy, otherwise the team sent to rob grain would definitely have to be explained there.

After this battle, Wei Yan realized that there was still a big gap between himself and Cao Cao, and if Cao Cao personally led the troops over in this battle, he would have no chance at all.

He decided that in the following days, he would still carry out high-intensity actual combat training, and even more actual combat, and one real combat would be better than a hundred trainings.

In addition, the equipment must continue to be built, Ma Jun's ordnance department is too slow to build equipment, in the final analysis, there are too few craftsmen, to increase the number of craftsmen, there are very few craftsmen among the displaced people who can come from all over the world, and most of the craftsmen are controlled by local families and princes.

Wei Yan looked at the captured Cao Hong, Yu Ban, Man Chong, and the more than 6,000 Cao soldiers, and if he thought, maybe he could get some craftsmen from Cao Cao through them.

Of course, the weapons and armor captured this time, plus the weapons and armor captured from Cai Yang and Xiahou Yuan before, were enough to refine 20,000 elite infantry.

Xu Shu opened the four gates of Langling City, and the fathers and elders in Langling City went out of the city to welcome Wei Yan's victorious army.

It turned out that Wei Yan was worried that Xu Shu would lose the battlefield, so he asked him to stay in Langling City.

In the admiring gaze of the elders of the tens of thousands of Langling, Wei Yan instigated the black horse and slowly entered the city of Langling.

Xu Shu's eyes were also full of admiration when he looked at Wei Yan.

Although he gave Wei Yan various ideas before, greatly improving the ambush tactics proposed by Wei Yan, he was uncertain about whether he could win this battle, after all, the Wei army had just been established for less than half a year, and it was completely impossible to compete with the Cao army, which had been in the army for seven or eight years and had experienced a hundred battles, just like using the Yellow Turban Army to implement Xu Shu's tactics, which should have been able to win, but it was also possible to lose.

But now, seeing the captured Cao Hong, Yu Ban, and Man Chong, and then looking at the captured six thousand Cao soldiers, Xu Shu's eyes looking at Wei Yan were completely different from before, and he began to think, should he identify Wei Yan like Xun Yu and Guo Jia identified Cao Cao?

All the generals performed their duties and took care of the aftermath of the war.

Wei Yan went to recruit Yu Ban and full of favor.

At this time, the seed artifact elf said emptyly: "Lord, you can save it, the reputation of the other lord, Cao Cao, is much higher than yours, their loyalty is very high, and their relatives are in Cao Cao's territory, it is impossible for them to submit to you!" ”

Wei Yan was confident and smiled freely: "If it's just the two of them, I'm not sure, but now that there is Cao Hong, I'm seventy or eighty percent sure!" ”

In the county government in Langling City, Cao Hong, Yu Ban, and Man Chong were all tied up by five flowers.

Wen Yang led a group of guards to line up left and right, and shouted: "Kneel! ”

Cao Hong, Yu Ban, and Man Zhong did not kneel.

Wen Yang had to have people beat their legs with wooden sticks and make them kneel.

Wei Yan said loudly: "Ah Yang, Yu Wenze and Man Boning are all talents, so they don't need to kneel!" ”

Wen Yang immediately understood that the lord was going to recruit Yu Ban and Fu Favor, so he picked up a wooden stick and hit Cao Hong's leg.

Cao Hong pounced and knelt down for Wei Yan.

When he struggled to get up, Wen Yang gave him another stick and beat him to his knees.

Later, Cao Hong had to kneel there in humiliation.

At this time, Wei Yan did not kneel and sit as he is now, but sat on a chair in a big way, in the words of this time, stretched out his feet and legs, looking extremely arrogant.

If it was just Wei Yan alone, it would naturally be rude, but according to the most ordinary wooden chair structure in later generations, he asked the carpenters to make dozens of them, and also made dozens of maza used in the march, stipulating that only generals at the rank of captain and above could sit on this kind of chair with him, which was not rude, but became a kind of treatment, and then slowly became a fashion, and gradually spread to the people.

The reason why Wei Yan changed customs like this was that he didn't like the kneeling posture very much, and on the other hand, this kneeling posture was very bad for blood circulation, especially for the generals who often rode on horses.

Speaking of which, kneeling and sitting is too unfair to the generals, who fight and kill every day, and their legs are about to be broken, and as a result, they have to kneel and sit with that group of civil officials, and their legs cannot rest.

In history, the kneeling ceremony slowly disappeared and the chair slowly became popular, precisely during the period of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms when military generals dominated the position.

And under such circumstances, letting Cao Hong kneel down would definitely be a great humiliation to him.

Yu Ban and Man Chong looked at each other, neither of them was stupid, and they immediately understood Wei Yan's deep meaning, Wei Yan was at odds again, wanting Cao Hong to be dissatisfied with the two of them, so the two of them also quickly knelt down to Wei Yan.

Wei Yan got up suddenly, walked to the two of them, and stretched out his hand to help them up: "The two of them are virtuous people, and I, Wei Yan, respect the virtuous people the most in my life, come here, give the two of you a seat!" ”

Yu Ban and Man Chong insisted on kneeling, Wei Yan held one in one hand, they couldn't kneel, and they had to sigh that Wei Yan's strength was too strong.

Wei Yan saw that Yu Ban and Man Zhong temporarily saw through his discordant plan, and it was inconvenient for him to support them all the time, so he ordered someone to help Cao Hong up.

Afterwards, Wei Yan personally untied the ropes on Yu Ban and Man Chong, supported them, and sat on two chairs.
