A pleasant banquet was spent happily in a pleasant time. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Others are unhappy Cao De doesn't know, anyway, Cao De is very happy.

After everyone resigned from Huangfu Song, Cao De and Cao Cao also walked to their temporary residences. Cao De hummed well-known songs from later generations along the way, and happily walked at the forefront. And Xu Shu behind Cao De had a dignified face. Cao De didn't seem to notice it at all, and continued to hum a little song and walk in the front. Soon the two returned to their residence, but Xu Shu still followed Cao De silently. Suddenly, Cao De turned around, and the abrupt action scared Xu Shu into a cold sweat, and Cao De seemed to still ask with a smile from Yaxing just now: "What, Yuan Zhi has been tired for a day, why don't you go to rest." ”

Xu Shu exhaled a long breath and said to Cao De: "Lord, you have something to say to your lord, let's go into the house and talk about it." ”

Immediately, Cao De turned around and pushed open the door, strode in, and Xu Shu followed closely and closed the door by the way.

The moment the door was closed, Xu Shu knelt down with a pop. As soon as Cao De heard the heavy voice behind him, he immediately turned around and saw Xu Shu who was already kneeling on the ground. Cao De hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed Xu Shu's arm, and dragged Xu Shu up from the ground, "Yuan Zhi, what does this mean, if you have something to say, how can you be like this." Could it be that Yuan Zhi has forgotten the relationship with my Cao De, who is also a teacher and a friend? ”

When Xu Shu heard this, he choked up and said, "Shu is guilty, I'm sorry for the lord." ”

Cao De was even more puzzled when he heard this, what's wrong with this Xu Shu, he was fine just now. "What kind of crime is Yuan Zhi, how come I don't know?"

Xu Shu patted his cheek and said, "At the banquet, General Huangfu looked for Shu and said to Shu......"

As soon as Cao De heard Huangfu Song, he immediately understood what Xu Shu meant. stretched out his hand to interrupt Xu Shu, "Hey, what's the matter, this matter." I know! ”

This time, it was Xu Shu's turn to be surprised, "The lord knows." ”

Cao De took off the hat on his head, scratched his scalp and said nonchalantly: "Yes, I know." General Huangfu asked Yuan Zhi to let Yuan Zhi enter the court as an official. Cao De didn't wait for Xu Shu to answer, and continued: "If Yuan Zhi behaves like this for this little thing, then he will look down on me Cao Anbang too much. As I said earlier, Yuan Zhi and I are also teachers and friends. Now that Yuan Zhi has a better way out, how could I Cao Anbang cut off my friend's career because of this. If Yuan Zhi wants to go to Luoyang, I Cao Anbang will definitely get a farewell. Who doesn't want to have a better home, I Cao Anbang is not such an unreasonable person. Besides, I know that Yuan Zhi will definitely refuse General Huangfu. Because of the straightforwardness in my eyes, but a good man with iron bones, how can he be blinded by a little glory and wealth. ”

After Cao De finished speaking, Xu Shu cried for a while, but fortunately, Cao De has been pulling Xu Shu's arm until now, otherwise Xu Shu knelt down again, "Shu is really guilty, you shouldn't spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain." Please also ask the Lord to punish him. ”

And Cao De also nodded matter-of-fact and let go of Xu Shu's arm, "But it should be punished, then Yuan Zhi will be punished within one day tomorrow, and all the losses, seizures, expenses and income of my army will be counted, and they will be handed over to me early the next morning." I was sweating with 10,000 good men, and now there are still a few people who can return to their hometowns. ”

After Cao De finished speaking, Xu Shu was stunned, this is the punishment for me, isn't this the job I should have done. Immediately afterwards, Cao De said again: "It's not early, Yuan Zhi should rest early, there are still things to do tomorrow." I'm a little greedy today, and I can finally get a good night's sleep. ”

Subsequently, Xu Shu made a big gift to Cao De, and Cao De accepted it safely. Then, Xu Shu withdrew from the house. And after Cao De waited for Xu Shu to leave, he couldn't help laughing when he remembered Xu Shu's previous moves. He said to himself: "It's really easy to get away with it." Then, Cao De took off the outermost layer of heavy clothes and got into the bed wearing only clothes. I can finally sleep, and I'm going to sleep until I wake up naturally. Yuan Shao, Liu Bei, you just continue to boil your eyes. Haha" It didn't take long for Cao De to enter his dream safely. And Yuan Shao and Liu Bei, who were worried about Cao De before he went to sleep, are really not sleepy at all now. Why, because they wanted to know what Cao De said to his people at the banquet and what his intentions were. Just ask, you may be stingy. Wait for them to say it themselves, but who knows if they will say it.

The night passed in Cao De's sweet dreams and Liu Bei and Yuan Shao's tossing and turning. On the second day, Liu Bei finally couldn't help it, called Guan Yu, and knocked on the side: "Yun Chang and Cao De are old acquaintances?" Guan Yu said innocently: "No, today is the first time I have seen you." ”

"Then why is Cao De so interested in Yun Chang?"

Guan Yu also replied with a puzzled face: "I don't know, by the way, during the banquet yesterday, Cao Anbang informed me that if he has no way out in the future, he can seek refuge elsewhere." Big brother, in my opinion, this Cao Anbang should not have any bad intentions. ”

Liu Bei nodded, shook his head again, and said to himself: "People's hearts are unpredictable." Then Liu Bei said to Guan Yu: "Yun Chang, go and get busy, let me think about what Cao De'an's intentions are." ”

A similar scene was also staged in Yuan Shaona. The answer Yuan Shao got was similar to Liu Bei. This also made Yuan Shao not understand why Cao De did this.

Now, Julu City has been captured by the official army. Therefore, it is the central army led by Huangfu Song who is in charge of Julu City. Therefore, everything in the city, the prisoners, the supplies, etc., are all under the control of the emperor. In this way, Cao De basically has nothing to do. After separating the men and horses with Cao Cao again, Cao De took his men and horses out of the city and camped. lest there be a large number of people from all walks of life in the city and cause unnecessary trouble.

Because Cao Dejun needed to move the camp, when Cao De got Xu Shu's statistics, it was already the afternoon of the third day after the celebration banquet.

A very clear list of numbers appeared in front of Cao De's eyes.

It has been since Cao De left Hanzhong with an army of 10,000 in March, and it has been until now. Cao De sent back to Hanzhong a total of about 100,000 Yellow Turban prisoners. A small half of the 100,000 captives were sent back when they were in Wancheng and Yingchuan. And the other half are mostly Yellow Turban captives in Qinghe City. The rest were captured in the rest of the battles. That's a hundred thousand captives. Hanzhong County only has a population of more than 300,000 at full capacity, and now there are 100,000 more people all of a sudden, which is a third more than Hanzhong County at once. What's more, these 100,000 people are basically all young and strong laborers. As long as Cao De is willing, these 100,000 people are enough to reorganize an army of 70,000 or 80,000 people in an extreme time. Regarding the problem of eating, Cao De is not worried at all. Because of the nine-month war alone, Cao De only brought out a batch of grain and grass from Hanzhong, and then Cao De not only did not ask Hanzhong for grain anymore, but continued to send grain to Hanzhong. According to Xu Shu's conservative estimates, the grain sent back by Cao De alone is nearly 300,000 denier. 300,000 denier of grain is enough for these 100,000 captives to squander for half a year, not to mention that this year Hanzhong County is another bumper harvest year, and a large number of large quantities of grain have been stored in warehouses.

After reading the captive, Cao De continued to look down. The 10,000 Hanzhong soldiers that Cao De brought out from Hanzhong are now only about 300 in the army. It is not that the remaining 9,000 people were killed, but in fact, only more than 2,000 were killed. Most of the rest were arranged by Cao De to return to Hanzhong while transporting the prisoners and captured supplies. And most of the more than 2,000 people who died in the battle died under the city of Jibei. In the first battle that day, there were nearly 2,000 Hanzhong veterans in the 3,000 heavy hammer battalion, the most elite of Cao De's army. After the battle, there were only more than 400 people left in the 3,000-strong hammer battalion, of which nearly 300 were Hanzhong veterans. Therefore, more than 1,500 Hanzhong veterans fell under the city of Jibei.

Subsequently, although Cao De continued to add fresh blood to his ranks, it was just a prisoner of the Yellow Turban Army. Among them, Cao De collected nearly 14,000 Yellow Turban prisoners. The team of Jibei City alone lost in the First World War had about 5,000 people. Plus the number of people lost in the rest of the battles and the Hanzhong veterans from Hanzhong. Cao De lost a total of nearly 10,000 soldiers in the Battle of the Yellow Turbans. Now there are only more than 8,000 Cao Dejun stationed outside Julu City.

At the time of the attack on Qinghe City, Cao De had more than 14,000 people. When Cao De and Cao Cao's mixed forces captured Qinghe City, Cao De sent a team of 5,000 men to escort the Yellow Turban prisoners and supplies back to Hanzhong County. Coupled with Cao De's various losses in the Battle of Jizhou, now only these 8,000 men and horses remain. Now the 8,000 people under Cao De's command can be said to be the real elite soldiers of a hundred battles. Moreover, in this battle, Cao De dispatched a total of more than 27,000 people and lost nearly 10,000 men. The remaining 17,000 people can be called veterans. But because some of the soldiers spent most of their time transporting prisoners and supplies, only 13,000 of the 17,000-odd men could be called elite soldiers.

As long as Cao De has a foundation of more than 10,000 people, he can train a huge army of 80,000 people in two or three years. This is also the foundation of Cao De's future struggle for world domination. Of course, that's for later.

At the end of Xu Shu's list to Cao De were captured military supplies, civilian supplies, and gold and silver treasures.

The first is military materiel. Since the Yellow Turban Army's own weapons were not very good, Cao De did not leave these captured weapons behind, but Cao De sent all these weapons back to Hanzhong to rebuild. If it is iron, it cannot be wasted, the knife can be sharpened if it is embroidered, and the knife is thrown into the furnace to be forged again. With the mentality that no resources can be wasted, Cao Dejun basically didn't even let go of some iron spoons that were used as weapons by the Yellow Turban Army. For the seized civilian supplies are some hoes and the like. Although Cao De is committed to building weapons, Cao De has not yet reached the point of madness. These ready-made civilian goods are completely straightforward to use. Therefore, Cao De also ordered people to pack these tools and send them back to Hanzhong, and after arriving in Hanzhong, some of these hoes and other things were distributed to the people of Hanzhong, and part of them were distributed to the construction corps of reclamation.

At the end of the list is the gold and silver treasures seized by Cao De. According to Xu Shu's statistics, the gold and silver treasures seized by Cao Dejun are really difficult to estimate because the value of some items is really difficult to estimate, and only an approximate value can be taken. 'When Cao De bought the Taishou of Hanzhong County, he spent a little more than a thousand gold. Now in the battle of the Yellow Turban alone, Cao De has looted nearly 20,000 gold. Now Cao De can't wait to get into this pile of gold and sleep immediately.

After Cao De read these data, he found that there were still some small words in the back. Cao De took a closer look, and it turned out to be Cao De's exploits counted by Xu Shu.

It reads:

In the first battle, 5,000 enemies were broken. More than 100 people were injured.

In the battle of Dengcheng, the city was broken in three days, more than 100 people were injured, and 5,000 enemies were broken.

The battle of Wancheng collected the people, Shaanxi, and broke Wancheng. Countless enemies were killed, more than 10,000 enemy soldiers were captured, and less than 1,000 people were injured.

Battle of Yingchuan,......

Battle of Jibei City,......

Battle of Qinghe City,......

Battle of Giant Deer City,......

In addition, there are countless small wars of all kinds.

According to statistics, our army killed the enemy generals of the Yellow Turban Army, Zhao Hong, Han Zhong, and Zhang Mancheng. and captured Zhang Bao, the general of the Yellow Turban Army. There were also captives Zhou Cang, Pei Yuanshao, and Liao Hua abandoned the dark and surrendered to the Ming to serve the Han Dynasty. Among them, Liao Hua unfortunately died in battle. In addition, our army captured the Yellow Turbans......

Cao De looked at the name of Liao Hua at the end and the loss of the battle of Jibei City above, and his heart couldn't help but go back to Jibei City a few months ago. After that, Cao De looked at Zhang Bao's name, smiled with satisfaction, and said to himself: "Liao Hua, I, Cao De, have avenged you." You can rest in peace. ”

Next, Cao De swept away the previous haze, and couldn't help but sigh, it turns out that I, Cao De, have already defeated so many enemies. It turns out that I, Cao Dejun, have already had such a huge record.

Cao De gently closed the statistical table submitted by Xu Shu. Slowly walked out of his tent. Glancing at the two straight guards standing at the door, Cao De looked up at the bright sunshine. The December sun shines warmly on people's bodies. Cao De sat cross-legged at the door of the tent, enjoying the warmth of the sun.

Suddenly, Cao De said: "Liu Ergen! A straight guard who had been standing beside Cao De immediately walked up to Cao De and respectfully shouted, "General." ”

Cao De smiled at Liu Ergen, "Come, sit." The personal guard who was called Liu Ergen was obviously shocked by Cao De's words, and he didn't make a move for a long time, and Cao De didn't ask for it again. Instead, he continued: "Liu Ergen, you came from Hanzhong with me. I remember that you have three sons at home, and the eldest son is already able to work in the fields. At this time, Liu Ergen's eyes were only shocked except for shock. Hurriedly lowered his head and replied, "General Hui, exactly." Dare to ask the general, how did the general find out. ”

Cao De laughed: "Liu Ergen, it's not just you, in this big camp, as long as I have seen the soldiers' files, I remember them." Li Dang, the youngest son in your family should have eight teeth. ”

Another guard standing guard beside Cao De also immediately replied to Cao De in shock: "That's right, General." ”

Cao De smiled again: "Yes, I remember, I still remember a person named Yang Hu, who is also from Hanzhong, and he still has an old mother and three younger brothers at home." But he was sleeping under the city of Jibei. ”

Jibei City is not only a scar for Cao De, but also a scar in the hearts of more than 300 Hanzhong veterans. Seeing that the atmosphere was about to be brought to sadness by Cao De, Cao De stood up, stretched out his hand and patted Liu Ergen on the shoulder, and changed the topic: "Old Liu, are you homesick?" ”

Cao De's kind words couldn't help but remind Liu Ergen of what his daughter-in-law said to him when he was about to join the army. Liu Ergen held back the tears of homesickness and nodded heavily.

"yes, I'm homesick too. You know what. My son, Cao Fan, is now four months old, but I haven't seen him yet. Cao De said as he spoke, and the corners of his eyes couldn't help but be a little moist. Cao De paused, and then said, "However, I am not in a hurry. Now it's all done. We'll be home soon. Cao De said and patted Li Dang's shoulder again.

And Liu Ergen and Li Dang silently kept repeating the word 'go home.' Then, a strange color erupted in the eyes of both of them, "General, you said to go home." We're going home. ”

Cao De nodded heavily, "Well, go home!" ”

Immediately, in the warm sunshine, the two big men actually hugged each other with joy, and their mouths shouted happily: "Go home!" ”

That's right, go home!
