When Liu Bao heard Cao Zhang say this, he knew that the young man in front of him might let him go, but it depended on whether the conditions he offered were rich, so he said: "In my Southern Xiongnu, children and livestock are the most precious things, if you let me go, after returning to the Zuoxian Palace, I will send 100 cattle and sheep, 300 Xiongnu war horses, and 300 Xiongnu boys under the age of ten who are good at riding horses to you."

Cao Zhang smiled when he heard this: "How do I know that you will fulfill these promises after you leave?" We Han people have a saying called empty words. ”

Liu Bao said: "You are in Pingyang County, the soldiers are strong and strong, if I regret it, you can kill Zuoxian Wang Ting and cut off my head." ”

Cao Zhang said: "That's not bad, anyway, I won't let you go, sooner or later there will be a Zuo Xian King, you go back, at least we are acquaintances, and we can cooperate with each other in the future, you said that the difference between countries is just a game between people, I agree with this sentence, since it is a game, there will be allies and enemies, are you right?" ”

Liu Bao nodded and said, "Yes, you are right!" We Hun tribes also have allies and enemies among themselves, attacking each other's grasslands, pastures, robbing each other's women, children, you are very strong, and you are not very old, like an eagle on the steppe that has just flown into the sky, you can also soar for a long time, and it will get stronger and stronger, I like to have a strong ally. ”

Cao Zhang nodded and said, "Not bad, not bad!" You're the smartest foreigner I've ever met! After speaking, he called the guards and said to him, "Call Man Taishou!" ”

The guards took the order and left, and after a tea hour, Man Chong hurried over, and Cao Zhang said to Man Chong: "Boning, return the thirty Huns to this Xiongnu Zuoxian King, and give them thirty captured Hun war horses, and then give them five days of rations, and let them go." ”

Man Pet saluted: "No! ”

Cao Zhang then said to Liu Bao: "Okay, King Zuo Xian, you can go with Man Taishou to count your men and grains now, and you can leave after you are ready, I won't send it!" ”

Liu Bao touched his shoulder with one hand, bowed and said, "My lord, I will not forget your kindness!" After speaking, he left with the full pet. ”

After Man Chong and Liu Bao left, Cao Zhang immediately asked people to call Chen Zhi and Zhang Yan and asked, "Is there any news of Wei Zhen in the past few days?" ”

Chen Zhi replied: "Lord Hui, two days ago, Wei Zhen sent a letter to Linfen, saying that he would send troops to raid the Chen family cavalry supported by Huangzhong Yi Conghu, and at the same time submitted a military report, saying that in addition to the Southern Xiongnu army and the Chen family army of Huangzhong Yi Conghu, he also detected the whereabouts of 5,000 Yang family cavalry supported by Jincheng Yi Conghu and 7,000 Lin family cavalry supported by Tuoba Xianbei, but Wei Zhen said in the letter that as long as he defeated the Chen family cavalry, these two armies would inevitably retreat. ”

Cao Zhang nodded and said: "That's true, not long after, the news of Liu Bao's defeat will also spread, and the situation of encirclement is no longer possible, and then defeat the enemy army all the way, they only have one way to retreat." ”

Zhang Yan said: "My lord, in this case, should we take advantage of the victory to pursue? ”

Cao Zhang shook his head and said, "It's more important to appease the people right now, how many people have we captured from the Li family?" ”

Zhang Yan replied: "The Li family Zhuangding surrendered two hundred people, and also captured the descendants of the Li family and other family members in Linfen who depended on the Li family, a total of eight hundred and sixty-three people, adding up to one thousand and sixty-three people, and in addition, there were still six hundred and thirty-seven female dependents. ”

Cao Zhang thought for a while and said: "Before Wei Zhen let people pretend to be Qiang people to force Zhuangding to attack the city, consuming the materials of the Linfen defenders to defend the city, I think it has made the people of nearby towns and villages complain, so we must think of a remedy, General Zhang, you go to Wei Ting, let him get a thousand sets of Qianghu costumes, put on this group of prisoners, and then send his subordinate Erlang to take this group of prisoners to various villages near Linfen in batches to behead the public, just say that they have forcibly recruited Zhuangding to disturb the people, and now they have been captured by the army of my Han Dynasty Jinwu Cao Zhang, Now that they have been convicted, and the law is rectified on the spot, we must set up a good archway for the surrounding people to see. ”

Zhang Yan replied: "No! ”

Cao Zhang continued: "Uncle Zhi, it is up to you to appease the people in Linfen City, in addition to strictly prohibiting the sergeants from disturbing the people, you must also open the Li family's warehouse, distribute eighty percent of the inventory to the local people, and reward the other two achievements to your subordinates!" ”

Chen Zhi replied: "No! ”

Then Cao Zhang said to the two of them: "Before that, you go and divide the captured female dependents by yourself, the generals keep what they want, and use what they don't want as camp prostitutes, and give Wei Ting what they order again, let him find a way to sell it, and give us the money." ”

Zhang Yan and Chen Zhi were overjoyed and said loudly: "No! ”

In this era, in addition to money, it is women who can make these men so excited, Cao Zhang has been fighting for a long time, and when he catches the female dependents, he is very generous to the soldiers under his command, he never keeps one, it is not that Cao Zhang is not a woman, but he has a witch Jiyue in his family, and his fiancée Xiahoujuan, as well as the daughter of the Ren family who has not passed the door, plus a Zhang Chunhua who has never met before, except for Zhang Chunhua, he has never seen it, the other three daughters are quite beautiful, Xiahoujuan is even more beautiful in the world, He, Cao Zhang, naturally doesn't look down on these vulgar fans.

Zhang Yan, who is over fifty years old, and Chen Zhi, who is less than thirty years old, are equally excited when they hear the arrangement of female dependents, which shows that in this era, women are indeed the only way to boost morale, Cao Zhang knew that they couldn't wait to deal with female dependents, so he said to the two: "It's so annoying for the two!" Let's go! The two of them left as soon as they were ordered.

After the two left, Cao Zhang returned to the county house to sleep in the room and went to bed, he didn't sleep well in the two days of raiding the Huns, and now these things have come to an end, how can he not have a good rest.

When he woke up, it was already night, the rain outside the house was dripping, Cao Zhang got up and came to the door, pushed the door open, a puff of rain with a gust of wind blew into the room, Cao Zhang couldn't avoid being sprinkled, there were two drenched dutiful guards standing outside the door, Cao Zhang asked the two, "How long has it rained?" ”

One of the guards replied, "My lord, it has been raining since dusk, and it is already the time of the child!" ”

It was 11 o'clock in the evening to 1 o'clock in the morning, that is to say, the rain fell for more than three hours, and I looked at the rain, although it was not a heavy rain, but it was also a hearty rainstorm.

Under this kind of heavy rain, whether it is a march or a surprise attack, it is very inconvenient, and many variables will occur, which makes Cao Zhang can't help but worry about Wei Zhen's tomb guard, after all, with 2,000 cavalry to raid the enemy's 4,000 cavalry, under such rain, willpower and endurance are more important than equipment and martial arts.
