Chapter Fifty-Nine: Brothers Work Together, and Their Profits Break Gold
After Cao De successfully led out the Yellow Turban Army in Wancheng, he almost played with fire *** at the last moment. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Xiahoudun appeared on the side of the battlefield with 4,000 cavalry. Suddenly, the balance of victory had completely tilted in favor of Cao De. On the basis of the basic lack of protective measures, the Yellow Turban Army suffered a heavy blow, and then fled back to Wancheng. Cao De seized the fighter plane and attacked Wancheng City in one fell swoop. At the same time, in the north of Wancheng, Cao Cao also successfully broke through the north gate of Wancheng. The two armies met in the city of Wancheng. And the Cao brothers reunited again after three years.
"Yuan Rang, why did you come here in such time." Zhang Fei asked in surprise.
Cao Cao and Cao De glanced at each other and laughed a few times. Cao De explained: "Yide, I'll tell you. Previously, I wrote in a letter to my brother that I wanted to attack Wancheng back and forth. It was originally just an idea. But I didn't expect that by the time I received my brother's reply, we had already hit the city of Wancheng, which was the most important condition. And the brother also wrote in the reply that in any case, before the brother arrived, he should be prepared to let the brother attack the city by surprise. After receiving my brother's reply, I ordered fifty ladders and other siege equipment to be prepared. When we arrived in Wancheng, I sent Zhou Cang to take these siege equipment to the north gate to find a place and wait quietly for my brother's arrival. Then there was our feigned defeat. But I almost caught fire **** when I knew it. ā
Then Cao Cao said: "Next, I will tell you." After I led my army to the place of Anbang's siege equipment, I immediately launched the siege with the 1,000 energetic soldiers of Zhou Cang as the lead. But since the cavalry was not conducive to the siege. I asked Yuan Rang to come with cavalry to assist Anbang. ā
Xiahou took it and said, "When I arrived at the east gate. Hearing the scout's report that Anbang was fighting the Yellow Turbans, I rushed straight to the battlefield. And then there's what happens next. ā
The explanation of the three finally made Zhang Fei understand everything. It's not because Cao De didn't tell Zhang Fei, but because it didn't make much sense to tell Zhang Fei. It's better to save some time and think more about how to lure the enemy.
After a few people in the room finished speaking, Cao De stretched out his right hand, and Cao Cao, Cao Hong, and Xiahoudun also stretched out their right hands and superimposed them together. Cao De glanced at Zhang Fei, who had predicted the prediction, and said, "Yide, what is the problem." Come and put your hands on. Zhang Fei also slowly stretched out his right hand and put it on the top.
The sound of "brothers working together, its profits and gold" seemed to penetrate the walls, penetrate the walls of Wancheng, and spread to the entire Central Plains.
Subsequently, Cao De introduced Xu Shu to Cao Cao. And said to Cao Cao: "Brother, in fact, most of my current military exploits are the credit of Mr. Yuan Zhi." Xu Shu hurriedly said modestly: "The lord's words are serious. A certain is just a time in the line. ā
Subsequently, Cao Cao, Cao De, Cao Hong, Xiahoudun, Xu Shu, Zhang Fei, and several people sat down to eat a banquet. During the banquet, Cao Hong sighed: "Now we only need Zixiao and Miaocai. Cao De immediately said: "I have sent someone to Dengcheng to call Zixiao." It's a pity that Miaocai is still guarding the captives in Hanzhong. Cao De's words immediately caused everyone to laugh again.
A reunion between brothers, in an unpretentious banquet, once again brought the friendship between brothers to its peak.
On the second day of Wancheng's break, early in the morning. When Xu Shu found Cao De with the post-war report, Cao De was still rubbing his head, which was still a little dizzy.
Xu Shu handed the sorted out data to Cao De. Cao De slowly opened it, and saw that the numbers on the bamboo slips made Cao De deeply understand what it means to be shocking.
In the battle of Wancheng, Cao De's army dispatched a total of 8,000 men. More than 3,000 people were killed or wounded, of which nearly 2,000 were killed. But the post-war gains were also enormous. At the very least, there is no need to worry about military rations, and the second is the prisoners. There are more than 100,000 Yellow Turban troops in Wancheng. More than 10,000 were killed, and nearly 50,000 were taken prisoner. The rest of the Yellow Turban Army hurriedly ran away from the east and west gates at night when the city was broken. Therefore, when Cao De arrived at the east gate, the city gate of the east gate had already been opened.
Although, Cao Dejun won another big victory this time. But for the current strength of Cao Dejun, Cao Dejun lost nearly half of its strength in the Battle of Wancheng. Although those wounded soldiers are even more elite after recovery, the wounds of soldiers take time.
Cao De frowned and thought deeply for a while. instructed Xu Shu: "Yuan Zhi, all the soldiers who died in our army must be properly registered. When we get back, we will discuss how to pay tribute to these heroes. By the way, where is my brother now? ā
Xu Shu took the bamboo slip handed back by Cao De and said where Cao Cao was. When Cao De found Cao Cao, Cao Cao was also taking care of business at his temporary residence. After Cao De entered the house, he arched his hand and found a place to sit cross-legged. After Cao Cao was busy, Cao De bluntly explained his intention to Cao Cao.
"Brother, now that Wancheng has been conquered, I don't know what my brother's plans are?" Cao De asked.
"Anbang," Cao Cao stretched his waist, stroked his beard and said, "Originally, Zhu Jun and I were going to attack Yingchuan, but now there are only 12,000 men and horses of Zhu Jun under Yingchuan City. When Wancheng is over, I have to go back to attack Yingchuan with Zhu Jun. ā
"I don't know brother, what the losses are in this battle. How many troops are left. ā
Cao Cao thought for a moment and said: "The cavalry losses are not large, and the infantry has suffered more than a thousand casualties. The first cavalry infantry numbered more than 6,000 people. ā
Cao De immediately said: "I lost nearly 3,000 people in this battle. In addition, I have dispatched Zixiao of Anzhong to lead a thousand elite soldiers to Wancheng, and if you add up, there are more than 6,000 people on my side. However, according to my brother's intelligence, there are still seventy or eighty thousand yellow turban thieves in Yingchuan. With this amount of troops, if we attack the city, the odds are not good. ā
Cao Cao nodded and said, "Yes, but the odds of winning are not good, and we have to fight." ā
This is Cao De asked again: ". At present, there are nearly 50,000 Yellow Turban captives in Wancheng, and I don't know what arrangements my brother has for Yellow Turban captives. ā
When Cao Cao heard this, he immediately understood what Cao De meant. "No, the combat power of the Yellow Turban Army is not optimistic. Although it may improve after training, there is not enough time. ā
After Cao Cao finished speaking, Cao De and Cao Cao fell into silence. After a while, Cao De's eyes suddenly lit up and said, "Brother." I've got a solution. Let's just watch quietly. After speaking, Cao De hugged his fist, turned around and walked out of the house in a dashing manner, leaving Cao Cao in the house.
Cao De left Cao Cao's temporary residence. first found Xu Shu, and then took Xu Shu and two thousand soldiers to the place where the Yellow Turban prisoners were placed in Wancheng.
In a temporary circled place, there were more than 50,000 people huddled together, just looking at the dense crowd of human heads, Cao De felt a burst of indescribable feelings. To be honest, although Cao De can be regarded as a person who has seen the world, but more than 50,000 people are densely packed together, Cao De is really the first time to see it. Fortunately, Cao De has not had a dense phobia, otherwise, Cao De would have been a second ancestor in his life.
