At the end of the battle, it was already dusk, Cao's army won a complete victory, Zhang Xiu, Hu Che'er were killed, nearly half of the 20,000 soldiers were killed and wounded, Jia Xu was captured alive, and more than half of the soldiers surrendered. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The casualties of the Cao army's tiger and leopard cavalry and tiger guards were no more than 100, and the halberders suffered 25,000 casualties and more than 4,000 casualties, of which 3,000 died in the Chinese army camp.

Cao Ang was stoned to death, his helmet was smashed and deformed, blood was pouring out of his ears, and his brain was obviously badly damaged.

Amazing coincidence, according to the development of history, Jia Xu's plan should have been successful, and it was very successful, falling rocks and arrow rain were enough to make Cao Jun's main force cripple more than half, and even threaten Cao Cao's life, but all this was destroyed by Cao Zhang, but history still played a little joke with Cao Zhang, Cao Zhang thought that he had completely changed history, in fact, he just let Cao Jun win, but did not let Cao Ang survive.

The reason is very simple, he underestimated Jia Xu's wisdom, this strategist's strategy leaves no room at all, a thousand archers, ten thousand soldiers, falling rocks, arrow rain, fire, the few numbers in the history books are difficult to describe the danger that Cao Cao should face, but Cao Zhang, who saw it with his own eyes, knew that after this battle, Cao Zhang said to himself that he should be more cautious in the future, otherwise a careless person will die without a place to be buried, just like Cao Ang now.

Who would have thought that in the Chinese army camp, the ears and eyes of the enemy would be killed? Who would have thought that such a well-planned plan would have such heavy casualties?

No one thought about it, just like Jia Xu couldn't imagine that someone would see through his plan.

In the county government, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xu Huang, Le Jin, Li Dian, covered in blood, solemn expression, standing on both sides, Cao Cao stood on the main couch, Dian Wei stood beside Cao Cao, on the floor in front of him, kneeling in Mingguang armor, his hair was scattered, and he was tied up with five flowers.

Cao Zhang stood behind Cao Cao's main couch, after the end of the war, Cao Cao did not say a word, all the aftermath was ordered by Li Dian and Cao Ren to supervise, Cao Cao only said one sentence after knowing that Cao Ang was dead: "Bring Jia Xu to see me." ”

"Wenhe, it's Ruce to set up a rockfall trap on top of the mountain?" Cao Cao spoke, his voice was calm, but there was a chill that seeped into his bones, and Cao Zhang couldn't guess if Cao Cao would cut down this killer with one sword.

Jia Xu replied calmly: "Exactly." ”

Cao Cao asked, "How do you know that I will garrison under the cliff?" ”

Jia Xu replied: "Gongshan raids, elite cavalry battles, and the tigers and leopards under his command are powerful in the Central Plains, how can they not know that camping in a helpless place on all sides is easy to be raided by people and live riding conflicts?" Relying on the mountains and rivers can at least avoid one side of the worries, but camping on the cliff will avoid the ambush of the mountains and forests, because I expect that the Duke will camp under the cliff, not to mention Zhang Xiu's surrender, the public wants to seal his retreat, and there is no choice. ”

"I look at the camp of my Chinese army, it is a mess, the ground is full of rubble and wood, how do you set up an ambush on the mountain?" Cao Cao asked.

Jia Xu replied: "Since the beginning of the Runan, we sent people to set up 20 throwing machines on the mountain, each with 20 catties of upper and lower stones 30, and then put sharp wood on the cliff to wrap a thick rope to block a thousand catties of boulders on the cliff, and then set up a rolling wood to hide the oil of livestock, 40 strong men, 200 craftsmen with 20 days of water and grain to hide on the top of the mountain, our army horn sounded, the wrestlers used the throwing machine to throw stones, and the craftsmen cut off the thick rope to put the rolling wood and boulders. ”

The throwing machine is actually a simple fixed catapult, the general catapult has wheels, and dozens of people are needed to pull the rope to throw stones, used to siege the city and pull out the village, the throwing machine is not very useful in general, because the stone thrown is not big, the soldier can be protected with a shield, and the starting speed is extremely slow, and the lethality is not high when the army moves.

But twenty throwing machines in the cliff of more than 50 meters to drop stones is different, such a high place even if you throw a small stone can kill people, not to mention twenty pounds of stones, the Han Dynasty's twenty pounds also exceed the modern ten pounds (press: Han Dynasty 1 pound = 250 grams?) I'm not sure, book lovers who know can explain it in the book review. ), plus the acceleration of the fall, one smashes and one kills, not to mention the rolling wood that ignites the fire, and the arrows shot by the opponent.

Cao Cao said indifferently when he heard this: "When our army attacked Zhang Xiu's camp, who ordered to fire arrows at our Chinese army camp and did not respond to Zhang Xiu's army shooting my attacking camp?" ”

"It's Zhang Xiu, at that time, they had already decided to burn the jade, and they didn't know where the prince was, so they attacked the Chinese army camp." Jia Xu replied.

After Jia Xu finished speaking, the county government was silent for a while, and Cao Cao asked after a long silence: "What are Wen He's plans for the future?" ”

Jia Xu said: "Xu's life is in the public not in himself. ”

Hearing this, Cao Cao got up and walked behind Jia Xu to untie him, and sighed: "Wenhe is under Zhang Xiu's tent, it is really helpless to give him advice, Zhang Xiu is dead, the revenge of killing his son is revenge, you are a talent to help the world, how can I kill him?" After speaking, he helped Jia Xu up.

Everyone present was moved, and they all knew that it was not Jia Xu's strategy, Cao Ang would not die at all, but Cao Cao still took him for his own use, and he was not to blame in the past, not everyone had such a good mind, and he also exonerated it, and pushed Cao Ang's death all on Zhang Xiu, which shows that Cao Cao has long wanted to save Jia Xu's life.

Seeing such a scene, Cao Zhang couldn't help but wonder if one day, his son was killed by someone, could he be as relieved as Cao Cao.

After Jia Xu was helped up, he immediately burst into tears and knelt down again and said: "Thank you Lord Sikong for not killing, although Jia Xu dies, he can't repay him in case!" ”

Cao Zhang admired him a little, and said that he would cry, not everyone has this talent, Cao Cao helped Jia Xu up again, and said to the generals: "My son's death is in Zhang Xiu, and it has nothing to do with Wenhe, you should remember!" The generals agreed in unison.

After that, Cao Cao said: "You wait to return to the camp, and then return to Xudu after three days of rest." All the generals left silently except Dian Wei and Cao Zhang, and after everyone left, Cao Zhang glanced at Cao Cao and desperately squeezed out a few tears and choked up: "Father, mourn." ”

Cao Cao sighed with tears in his eyes at this time: "If it weren't for your father to let your eldest brother stay in the Chinese army camp, there would be no such catastrophe. After speaking, he hugged Cao Zhang and cried.

Cao Zhang was infected and cried, now Cao Cao has died of his son, and he has died of his eldest brother, if he doesn't cry, it would be too fake, for a while, the father and son hugged each other and cried, the scene was miserable, and Dian Wei on the side also saw tears in his eyes.

This time Cao Jun won the victory because of Cao Zhang's vigilance, but Cao Ang died in Jia Xu's poisonous plan, for Cao Zhang, he won, but he suddenly felt a little empty in his heart, he also wanted to calculate Cao Ang earlier, and he was depressed because he thought there was no chance, but at this moment, he suddenly remembered the time he spent with Cao Ang in the past few years, and it didn't seem too bad, but Cao Ang's eyes looked at him recently, which made him a little uneasy.

Cao Zhang cried because he was depressed and didn't know whether he should be happy or sad.
