The 40,000 horses brought out by Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao died and surrendered, and those who fled escaped, and about 10,000 men and horses were captured. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Cao Ang's side also suffered heavy losses, and the total number of troops increased instead of decreasing, and became unprecedentedly strong, with a total of 50,000 horses.

As a result, Lu Bu's main force was almost wiped out by Cao Ang, leaving only the fleeing Zhang Liao and the remnants of Lu Bu's forces.

Cao Ang ordered everyone to set up camp and began to repair in place.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Cao Ang met with the generals, and finally showed a rare joy on his face.

Lu Bu is a fierce enemy, and he is now tired of soldiers and horses, and it is difficult to destroy it in a short time. If you press it step by step, force it back to its nest, and then destroy it in one fell swoop, it will be once and for all.

"Ladies and gentlemen, in the battle tonight, General Zang Ba and General Xiahou Yuan made the first contribution, how should they be rewarded?" Cao Ang looked around and asked in a low voice.

Zang Ba is a rare figure, and the key to Cao Cao's use to stay in the rear back then.

Xiahou Yuan is Cao Ang's uncle according to his seniority, although he is not as famous as Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan, but he is also very powerful. In the battle of Hanzhong back then, in the face of the aggressive Liu Bei, he could also be on his own.

Guo Jia saw Cao Ang's happiness and said: "General Zang Ba has a meritorious role in killing Zhang Chao, and he is originally familiar with the people's livelihood in Taishan County, so why don't you appoint General Zang Ba as the county guard of Taishan County?" ”

Zang Ba's face was full of joy, he originally claimed to be a faction in Taishan County, and Lu Bu sent people to persuade him, but it was just a signboard for the county guard of Taishan County.

For him, there is no difference between taking refuge in Cao Ang and taking refuge in Lu Bu, the important thing is to have a safe place to live, to recruit soldiers, and to develop with peace of mind.

"Xuan Gao, are you satisfied with the position of Taishan County?" Cao Ang said in a low voice, with a hint of a smile in his eyes: "It doesn't matter if you are not satisfied, when Yanzhou is defeated, I will give you a few more counties, and maybe the entire Yanzhou will be in charge of you." ”

The historical Zang Ba managed Qingzhou for Cao Cao, and even in such a dangerous situation as the Battle of Guandu, he was loyal and did not let Qingzhou have any problems. It shows that Zang Ba also has some talents and deserves the position of the lord of a state.

"Thank you, my lord! In the future, with only one word from the lord, I Zang Ba will not hesitate even if I go to the sword mountain and the sea of fire! ”

When Zang Ba heard the first half of Cao Ang's sentence, his heart was already very excited, and when he heard the whole sentence, the beast blood on his body instantly boiled.

The death of a confidant is the truth!

He is just a thief, and he surrendered to Cao Ang for the first time, but he got Cao Ang's trust so much, how could he not make Zang Ba so excited.

After speaking, Zang Ba lowered his arrogant head and knelt on the ground to show his respect for Cao Ang.

"Hurry up, please!" Cao Ang Void made a gesture of support.

"Whoa!" Zang Ba was overjoyed and quickly got up.

Guo Jia and Xun You showed surprise on their faces, Zang Ba was just a defeated general, and what Cao Ang said seemed to be too much?

However, Zhao Yun and Le Jin's faces were calm, and Cao Ang did not stick to one pattern to reduce talents, promoted them to the ranks, and let them begin to emerge in the army and make great achievements!

These feats all come from Cao Ang's insight into people!

Cao Ang has already brought them too many surprises, I believe that this time, Cao Ang will never look at the wrong person!

Xiahou Yuan killed a bloody way out of the chaotic army, and he can be regarded as a dignified man, he is not willing to use nepotism to seek an official position in the army, but to rely on his own strength to kill a bloody road.

These days, he has endured humiliation and burden, and has been lurking in danger. It was worth the wait, he finally waited for this day, killed Zhang Miao with his own hands, and won the credit for the great victory of the Cao army.

"Xiao Honghong, how about Xia Houyuan's force value for me?" Cao Ang whispered in his heart to ask.

Back then, Xiahou Yuan was a fierce general under Cao Cao, but unfortunately he was too fierce and had to bow down to everything, so he was shot by the veteran Huang Zhong.

However, judging from the current situation, Xiahou Yuan has a little more forbearance in addition to being fierce.

"Xiahou Yuan, force value 88, special general skill: rapid march, once launched, the force value of the army will randomly increase by 1-3 points." Xiao Honghong told the true situation of Xiahou Yuan.

Cao Ang understood that Xiahou Yuan was a general who was good at surprise attacks, and once he launched a rapid march, he would boost morale to the greatest extent and cause greater damage to the enemy.

However, how to arrange Xiahou Yuan really gave Cao Ang a little headache. He killed Zhang Miao and made a great contribution, but he still had to be rewarded.

His seniority is a little low, and Xiahou Yuan can be regarded as his uncle!

Xiahou Yuan rubbed his hands and looked at Cao Ang expectantly, Cao Ang was so generous to Zang Ba as an outsider, let alone his own uncle!

"Xiahou Yuan, from now on, I will appoint you as the deputy commander of the Angry Ape Army." Cao Ang said apologetically, after all, although Xiahoudun was defeated, he was still alive after all, and he was still the nominal commander of the Angry Ape Army.

Therefore, making Xiahou Yuan the deputy commander can be regarded as a kind of love, so I don't know if Xiahou Yuan is willing or not.

"The last general obeys!"

Xiahou Yuan listened to Cao Ang's words, and his heart suddenly felt cold, but when he saw Cao Ang's guilty eyes, he knew that he was not a good nephew.

After all, Xiahou Yuan's elder brother Xiahou Yuan is still there, and his seniority is higher than himself, so he can be regarded as an old man who follows Cao Cao.

If Xiahoudun is dismissed because of the defeat, it will lead to unnecessary trouble.

Okay, after all, he and Cao Ang are a family, just eat a small loss!

Finally, a smile squeezed out of Xiahou Yuan's face, a smile that was more ugly than crying.

Cao Ang couldn't help but smile and said, "Zilong, you arrange the night patrol personnel." Strictly guard against enemy night attacks. ”

"Whoa." Zhao Yun's eyes flashed, the matter of cleaning up the battlefield has been completed, so that the tired soldiers can rest well, and it is indispensable to arrange night patrol personnel.

As a very competent general, even if Cao Ang didn't give orders, Zhao Yun had already arranged it properly.

"Okay, everybody's tired. Rest well! Cao Ang said with a smile.

"Whoa." All the soldiers withdrew.

"Report!" A loud voice rang out.

Cao Ang had already heard that the person who came was Cao Chun, the commander of the Flying Tiger Army, and he arranged for him to chase after the defeated army, but he didn't expect to come back so soon.

Something must have happened, right?

"Come in!"

Cao Chun walked in covered in blood, and said unwillingly: "Lord, Zhang Liao's turtle son is really powerful, and he set up an ambush in front, if it weren't for the last general and the brothers to fight to the death, maybe I wouldn't see the lord." ”

"Zhang Liao is really amazing! Zi and Uncle don't be discouraged, we're going to continue pumping Lu Bu's ass tomorrow. Cao Ang comforted.

"Lord, there will be a request at the end, Zhang Liao's ass let me come!" Cao Chun's eyes showed a hint of fierceness.

"Good!" Cao Ang couldn't help but shudder. (To be continued.) )
