On the evening of the day of the defeat of Wu Huan, Cao Pi's camp lit a brazier, and the corpses outside the camp had been cleaned up together, and then a pit was dug and burned. Tian Chou, www.biquge.info of the pen, rode his horse from Juxian Valley at dusk, and led the scribes to check the roster of the dead soldiers in a camp tent and count the amount of money and food for the bereavement. Cao Pi didn't say anything about Tian Chou's use of Lu Lingqi to single-handedly pick out Wuyan, and for Tian Chou, who was not worried about being promoted, and only wanted to bring a hob meat with a little talent in Youzhou for the rest of his life, Cao Pi really didn't know what to do, so he simply ignored the matter.

There are many sergeants and horses who died on the battlefield, if they are allowed to breed here, it will inevitably lead to plagues, especially these have water sources, the plague will affect a large area along the water, and it is just around the corner to take Liaoxi, Cao Pi does not want the plague to run rampant in his territory. So he ordered the corpses of all the people and horses to be burned, which made the vicinity of Cao's camp full of scorching stench, and at the same time billowing black smoke, this kind of large-scale burning of corpses is difficult to make people raise their appetite to eat, because the air is a smell of burnt meat, including Cao Pi has no appetite, so he decided to convene the generals to the big tent to discuss, the theme is the gains and losses of this battle and the future plan.

Tian Chou was absent from this meeting, because the distribution of pension money and food is a very important matter, which directly affects the morale and cohesion of the army, so Cao Pi asked him to finish it as soon as possible, because he was still working overtime at the moment.

After the generals except Tian Chou came to the big tent, Yu Ban first talked about the situation of today's counting of the battlefield: "At the end of today, when the general cleaned up the battlefield, the number of corpses, the number of blades obtained, the number of war horses obtained, and the number of wounded and sick were counted, this Wuhuan man left more than 5,300 corpses, all of them were cavalry, and our army had more than 573 robes in the wilderness, of which 253 were sergeants under the command of tigers and leopards, 140 were sergeants under General Niu, and 200 were sergeants under General Ji. ”

After this series of numbers burst out, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, exchanging 500 people for 5,000 people, and in the case that the enemy army is all cavalry, this is really a remarkable record, at this time, everyone should be full of admiration to Cao Xiu's eyes, you must know that today's battle of the tiger and leopard cavalry is a frontal fight with the enemy, as for Niu Jin and Ji Yong's army was only joined the battlefield after the Wuhuan soldiers were scattered, the vast majority of the number of enemies destroyed by these more than 5,000 people were fought by the tiger and leopard cavalry sergeants, how can you not admire.

But Cao Xiu, who enjoyed the admiration of everyone, was not happy, not only did he kill more than 200 people, but also injured more than 100 people, and more than 50 of these 100 people could no longer ride horses in the future, so his actual losses had reached 70%, and the casualties had reached 60%, which was a very high percentage.

As for Niu Jin and Ji Yong's army losses, they are infantry, and they can't compare with the cavalry in terms of speed, so naturally they can't catch up with the Wuhuan knights who are bent on escaping, as for why Ji Yong's army died much more than Niu Jin, it is because Ji Yong's army used flying stone ropes to defeat a lot of fleeing Wuhuan people, and under the desperate counterattack of these Wuhuan people, Ji Yong naturally suffered heavy losses.

Then Yu Ban continued: "As for the war horses, the war horses ridden by the tigers and leopards of our army have gone out to be killed and wounded, and there are still one hundred and thirty-eight available, and the Wuhuan war horses have captured a lot, excluding the dead and wounded war horses, there have been two thousand seven eight hundred horses, of which one thousand three hundred have minor injuries, as long as the horse material is sufficient, it will be able to recover in the future." ”

"Our horses all eat beans and wheat bran, and the horses of the Wuhuan people eat grass in the pasture, and there are a lot of pastures in this Liaoxi County and Liaodong subject country, and it is spring at this time, as long as you occupy it, you can naturally feed these horses." Cao Pi said that Cao Pi was very happy to be able to capture so many war horses, because it meant that he could also form a cavalry.

Cao Xiu suddenly asked, "Aren't there any horses in this Wuhuan camp?" They would not have been able to come here without horses, and if there were 10,000 cavalry, they should have at least 20,000 horses. ”

Yu Ban's expression darkened, and said: "The Wuhuan people made it, and after the rest of the Wuhuan people fled with his subordinates, they all ran back to their camp and began to kill the horses in the camp, when I found that there were still enemy troops in the Wuhuan camp, I asked the soldiers Cao to engage in it, and Cao Cao engaged in bringing his sergeants into the camp together, and found that the blood in the camp was full of blood, and the blood could drown the soles of the shoes, and a group of Wuhuan people were still crazy, shouting and killing the few horses left, more than 10,000 war horses, and then it was a few hundred, which two thousand were in the number. ”

Yan Rou said: "When General Yu told me that there were still Wuhuan people in the camp, I felt that it was inappropriate, and in the event of a great defeat, the Wuhuan people would inevitably kill horses, cattle and sheep for the enemy, even in the battle between the tribes. ”

Niu Jin was speechless: "I said why the soldiers Cao Zhi hurriedly led the troops out, it turned out that the Hu people killed more horses than they killed." ”

Zhang Nan sighed: "I Han people think that the Saiwaihu people must love horses, but I don't know how people who give birth in such poor mountains and bad waters can love animals. ”

Cao Pi smiled and said: "The Hu people are barbaric and uncivilized, so it's not surprising, General Yu, continued." ”

Yu Ban continued: "There are a lot of Wuhuan people who kill horses in this camp, and there are more than 1,800 people who have been caught, and they only care about killing horses when they encounter us, and they do not resist, and many Hu people are trampled by the fleeing horses, and they still laugh and shout, wielding weapons and killing horses. ”

Yu Ban said it lightly, but everyone present knew what kind of picture it was.

"So, more than 1,800 Wuhuan people have been arrested?" Cao Pi asked.

Yu Ban replied: "Exactly, many of these Wuhuan people are injured, and many of them are already delirious. Presumably, even the Hu people can't stand killing horses like this. ”

Yan Rou said: "When we are defeated, there is no escape, and we can't leave the horses to our enemies, so we can only kill them, even if they are cruel, it is still unacceptable to kill the horses that accompany us day and night." ”

Everyone sighed, and Yu Ban immediately added: "On the battlefield, Wuhuan captured 536 people, of which 61 were seriously wounded, and they were sure to die, and 130 were lightly wounded. These people surrendered voluntarily, with clarity of mind. ”

Cao Pi smiled when he heard this: "That is, there are still three hundred and forty-five people who even clearly surrendered again?" ”

"Exactly." Yu Ban replied.

"Keep the more than 1,800 people and these 500 people in custody, but divide them into two camps, and take care of those who surrender voluntarily and those who are captured."

Everyone looked at each other, not understanding Cao Pi's move, in their opinion, this was a superfluous move, because they were all captives, why separate? However, Cao Pi didn't explain, and then said: "General Yu, continue." (To be continued.) )
