The arduous battle finally ended shortly after Cao Ren rushed into the city of Jibei with his soldiers. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

And the mastermind who directed this difficult battle, Zhang Bao. When Cao Dejun, who was outside the city, launched the final charge, he hurriedly fled with less than 100 people. Zhang Bao's run originally caused many chain reactions. First of all, the Yellow Turban Army, which was originally dedicated to fighting, had no intention of fighting again after the general ran away. The Yellow Turban Army, which had also fought for more than four hours, was also tired and tired. So, after Zhang Bao ran away. The Yellow Turban Army, which performed commendably in this battle, suddenly had a ridiculous scene, and the Yellow Turban Army, who were still running, ran behind Zhang Bao's ass one after another. Those who couldn't run just lay on the ground and didn't resist. Therefore, Cao Ren's attack was quite smooth.

The days in July are long. Finally, at nightfall, Cao Ren had already occupied the entire city of Jibei. Soon after, Xu Shu also rushed back to Jibei City with a thousand men and horses. Xu Shu didn't care about the tragedy of the battle, and came directly to Cao De's side, and even shouted a few times to the lord, but Cao De never responded. At this time, Zhao Yun finally stopped beating the drum and gently touched Cao De. I saw Cao De fall straight down like a tree without roots. Zhao Yun hurriedly helped Cao De, who was about to fall to the ground. Xu Shu, Zhao Yun and the surrounding soldiers coaxed to come over, and shouted Cao De in a gossiping voice. Zhao Yun tried his snort, and there was still breath. Xu Shu hurriedly asked the soldier to bring a kettle and poured some into Cao De's mouth, but they all lay down along the corners of his mouth. Seeing this, Xu Shu was furious and poured water on Cao De's face. After a while, Cao De woke up leisurely. There was another shout of surprise from the crowd. Cao De coughed a few times, raised his eyelids and glanced at Xu Shu, and said leisurely: "Yuan Zhi, the river is worry-free?" Xu Shu hurriedly said: "Retreat, the big water is small." Cao De showed a hint of a nonchalant smile, "How is Jibei City now." Xu Shu glanced at Jibei City in the distance, "It's captured." Captured. Cao De smiled slightly, "That's good, that's good." Then, Cao De tilted his head and fainted. Suddenly, the people around them panicked again.

After Cao De regained consciousness, Cao De felt that he didn't have any strength in his body, and he couldn't even lift his eyelids. Cao De only felt that his head was buzzing, and in a trance, Cao De seemed to hear the conversation between Xu Shu and Cao Ren. Then, Cao De fell asleep again.

After Cao De woke up again, it was already the third day of the city's break. Cao De felt that his body seemed to be better than the last time. I tried hard, and finally opened my heavy eyelids. Immediately afterwards, a voice of surprise sounded beside Cao De, it was Zhao Yun's voice: "Big brother, you are awake." ”

Cao De opened his mouth, but no sound came out of his throat. Immediately afterwards, a little coolness slipped down Cao De's lips and into his mouth. Cao De swallowed subconsciously, only to feel that his throat was like being made of iron, and it hurt and hurt. Cao De endured the pain and finally swallowed a little water. At this time, Cao De felt that his body didn't want to be his own at all. I couldn't move anywhere but my eyelids and throat. But, at the very least, Cao De woke up.

Soon, the news that Cao De woke up spread among Cao Dejun's top leaders. Xu Shu and Cao Ren hurriedly came to Cao De's side. Xu Shu stood at the front, looked at Cao De, who was weak and haggard, and said slowly: "Lord, cultivate with peace of mind." Everything has me. ”

Cao De tried to nod, but was unsuccessful. I was only able to blink my eyelids twice. Xu Shu nodded knowingly.

It was already two days after Cao De recovered a little, and Cao De was finally able to eat some liquid food and speak at this time. But Cao De's body does hurt heart-rending as long as he moves. In desperation, Cao De asked Zhao Yun to forcibly drag him to the city to lie down. Then let Zhao Yun find Xu Shu.

After Xu Shu came, Cao De said weakly: "Yuan Zhi, tell me all the current situation." ”

Xu Shu glanced at Cao De, "Lord." The first battle of Jibei City. Our army lost more than 6,000 killed, more than 1,000 seriously wounded, and almost no minor injuries. After speaking, Xu Shu paused. Cao De glanced at Xu Shu and said, "Go on."

General Zhang Fei has not woken up to this day. General Zhou Cang was seriously wounded, but not in serious trouble. General Liao Hua ......"

Cao De coughed violently twice, and suddenly had a bad premonition. Xu Shu and the others hurriedly stepped forward to support Cao De's still trembling body, "Say, what's wrong with Liao Hua." ”

"General Liao Hua, die in battle!" Xu Shu said sadly.

When Cao De heard this, he seemed to fall into a calm down. After a while, Cao De said hoarsely, "How is Yide?" ”

"I've already looked for Lang Zhong. It is a coma caused by the severity of the injury and the loss of the body. Xu Shu suddenly changed the speed of his voice and said, "However, Lang Zhong said." General Zhang Fei is different from ordinary people, and it is very likely that he will wake up. ”

When Cao De heard this, his expression was no longer so nervous. After a long silence, Cao De asked again, "What about the casualties of the battalions?" ”

"Of the 3,000 soldiers of the new battalion who participated in the siege, only about 40 remained, and more than 400 soldiers of the 1,000 blade battalion remained. Of the 3,000 Heavy Hammer Battalion soldiers who participated in the battle, there were only more than 300 left, all of whom were seriously wounded! ”

Cao De heard this. Suddenly, I felt that the sky was dark again. After a long time, Cao De recovered and said leisurely: "Tell Lang Zhong to prescribe fierce medicine for me." When I can go down to the ground, I will pay tribute to the soul of the heroes myself. I will rest, go down. ”

After three days, Cao De was able to walk a few steps slowly on the ground. On the fourth day, Cao De asked Zhao Yun to help put on a neat set of clothes. Then he walked slowly towards the wounded area.

Cao De's arrival caused a riot throughout the wounded area. The wounded lying on the bed, and Lang Zhong, who was treating the sick, wanted to salute Cao De. Cao De raised his hand and stopped everyone, and Cao De said in a still hoarse voice: "You don't have to salute. Now I and you are wounded. I am for my own wounds, and you are for my wounds. It is I, not you, who should prostrate. After Cao De finished speaking, he bent his waist.

Next, Cao De endured the pain and turned the tent of each injured person. After the turn, Cao De felt as if his body was about to collapse. Zhao Yun, who had been following behind, wanted to step forward to support Cao De. Cao De waved his hand to stop Zhao Yun, and then forcibly walked towards Zhang Fei.

What caught Cao De's eye was a mummy. In addition to the eyes, nose, and mouth are also exposed, and the parts that can be seen, Zhang Fei's entire body is entangled.

Cao Deqiang reluctantly sat on the edge of Zhang Fei's bed. Cao De looked at Zhang Fei's still sleeping face, and unconsciously, Cao De felt that the corners of his eyes were moist. Cao De said leisurely: "Yide, I came to see you, you open your eyes." I have prepared three jars of good wine, and I will wait for you to get up and drink with me. Hurry up. Zhang Fei on the bed still closed his eyes tightly, without a trace of movement.

Cao De shouted several times, but Zhang Fei still didn't respond. Cao De sighed, "Yide, you must hold on, I'm waiting for you to drink together." After finishing speaking, Cao De slowly stood up and came to Zhou Cang's residence again.

At this time, although Zhou Cang could not walk on the ground, he could already sit on the bed. When Cao De came, Zhou Cangzheng was in a daze, not knowing what to think. As soon as Cao De entered the house, he woke up Zhou Cang, who was in a daze. Zhou Cang struggled to get out of bed and salute. Cao De took two quick steps and supported Zhou Cang. Just a few steps away, Cao De felt like he was about to faint. Cao Deqiang cheered up. Zhou Cang's dignified man's eyes gradually turned red, "Lord! Cao De patted Zhou Cang's shoulder, "Zhou Cang, don't think about anything, get better quickly." We still have to avenge Liao Hua. Zhou Cang wiped away his tears and nodded heavily. Cao De sat on Zhou Cang's bed for a while, then comforted Zhou Cang a few more words, and then got up and walked outside the house.

Zhao Yun followed behind and said to Cao De: "Big brother, let's go back." Cao De shook his head, "No, I haven't gone to see Liao Hua yet." After Cao De finished speaking, he endured the severe pain again and came to Liao Hua's grave. Because, the weather is hot. After Lang Zhong determined that Liao Hua was dead, Xu Shu immediately ordered that Liao Hua's new home fell in front of the stairs in Jibei City, which was directly opposite Liao Hua's death. Cao De watched quietly for a long time. Then he silently turned around and returned to his lodgings.

Zhao Yun only found out when he was helping Cao De undress. The clothes Cao De was wearing could already wring out water. And most of the wounds on Cao De's body also collapsed again, and bright red blood flowed out.

After three days, Cao De was already able to deal with military affairs. The first is the arrangement of the soldiers who died in battle, or according to the custom, burying the bodies on the spot and recording the register. Then sent back to Hanzhong. All the people in Hanzhong were given enough bereavement benefits. The Yellow Turban Army, which joined the army halfway, looked for the Yellow Turban Army who were captured in the same batch, asked about their origins, and those who had family members sent people to take their families to Hanzhong, and those who did not want to come to Hanzhong were given a pension. Then those who can't find their place of origin will first make a unified record, and then make plans after Cao De goes back.

Next up were the captured Yellow Turbans. There were more than 30,000 Yellow Turban troops in Jibei City, plus more than 40,000 Yellow Turban troops who fled from Cao De's march in the upper reaches of the Yellow River. In the battle that day, the Yellow Turban Army killed more than 20,000 people and fled nearly 10,000. There are only more than 8,000 people left, because they really have no strength, they can't run, and they can't fight. It can only be slaughtered. Because Cao De was still recuperating from his injuries a few days ago. Therefore, Xu Shu did not arrange these captives, but only gave them a half-full meal a day to ensure that they would not starve to death. After Cao De learned about it, he immediately arranged for Xu Shu to subdue all the more than 8,000 people as much as possible and add them to his team. After Xu Shu received the order, he still stood quietly in place. Because Xu Shu felt that Cao De had something to say.

After a while, Cao De really spoke.

"Yuan Zhi, what do you think of the battle of Jibei City."

Xu Shu thought for a while and said, "If it weren't for the sudden heavy rain, our army would not have suffered such heavy losses. "If it weren't for the surge in the river, our army would not be so passive."

Cao De smiled: "How can there be so many ifs." Something has happened. Now let's talk about what ifs. Yuanzhi, this is not you. By the way, what do you think about the sudden increase in the river? ”

"Judging from the performance of the Yellow Turbans, it is not deliberately impounding water and then waterproofing. If it was really the Yellow Turban Army that deliberately wanted to flood our army, they would definitely not go out of the city to fight. Xu Shu said affirmatively.

Cao De nodded, "Yes, the flood is the most ruthless. I decree that in every battle in the future, no matter how great the losses are suffered, we will not be able to destroy the enemy in the water. It is the people who suffer the most. A city and a pond can be attacked in a variety of ways, but once the water is used, it is the people who suffer the most. Yuan Zhi, this military order can be regarded as the top priority. ”

Xu Shu clasped his fists and saluted: "The military order of the lord is also righteous." And Zhao Yun, who was on the side, also deeply agreed.

Cao De waved his hand and said, "Don't praise me, I'll be proud." Cao De's words made Xu Shu and Zhao Yun feel a burst of surprise. Cao De smiled awkwardly. Immediately moved on to another topic.

Next, Cao De and Xu Shu studied the post-war repair of the soldiers. Suddenly, Cao De realized a problem, "Yuan Zhi, you say." What's going on with those Yellow Turbans outside the city. ”

Xu Shu smiled embarrassedly: "The lord thinks so." ”

Cao De turned around: "It is none other than those Yellow Turban troops who rushed over from the upper reaches of our army." ”

Xu Shu nodded. Cao De was annoyed for a while: "Then why didn't Yuan Zhi remind Yu Wu earlier!" ”

Xu Shu did not answer Cao De directly, but said: "Why did the lord find out just now, the traces of the activities of the Yellow Turban Army are obvious, why didn't the lord pay attention to it." Didn't the lord find his own problem? ”

Xu Shu's rhetorical question made Cao De speechless for a while. Yes, since crossing the Yellow River, I have indeed despised these Yellow Turban Army. I am confident that these miscellaneous fish and rotten shrimp will not be able to make any waves. However, it was these miscellaneous fish and rotten shrimp that almost made Cao De capsize in the gutter.

Cao De embarrassedly defended himself: "Could it be that Yuan Zhi did not hesitate to let more than 6,000 soldiers die in order to remind me?" ”

Xu Shu smiled and stroked his beard, "The blood of these more than 6,000 soldiers can wake up the lord, Yuan Zhi thinks it's worth it!" If it weren't for the death of more than 6,000 people, the lord would definitely make a mistake again. It is likely that in the future it will not be 6,000 soldiers who will die in battle, but 60,000, 600,000. ”

Xu Shu's harsh words made Cao De stunned for a while. Cao De immediately got up and saluted Xu Shu, "Thank you Yuanzhi." I was wrong. ”

Xu Shu smiled again: "Knowing that mistakes can be changed, good is great." The lord will become a great weapon. ”

Cao De also smiled: "Please also Yuan Zhi, and remind me in the future." But I don't want the soldier's blood. ”

Xu Shu's face was embarrassed, and he smiled to cover it up: "No, no." ”

The following days were spent quietly in recuperation. The incorporation of the Yellow Turban prisoners was also surprisingly smooth. Of the more than 8,000 captives, Cao De collected more than 6,000 people. Almost all but the seriously wounded were recruited. As for what method Xu Shu used, Cao De asked again and again, and Xu Shu only smiled silently.

In this way, Cao De's army, which was originally 15,000, was reduced by half in the battle of Jibei City. Almost half was added. There were still 14,000 people.

It's just that these 14,000 people are all elite soldiers who have experienced the battle of life and death. Almost every soldier has seen blood. Therefore, this has a higher starting point for the training of soldiers.

Cao De still filled the hammer battalion with 4,000 men; The Blade Battalion also resumed weaving, still four thousand men; The new barracks were still called the new barracks, but the number of people was reduced to 6,000.

After everything was done, Cao Dejun was training every day in Jibei City. Just today, two pieces of good news arrived almost at the same time that made the entire Jibei City boil.
