In the camp of the Cao army, the atmosphere was very dull, and Cao Cao asked: "Zhicai, has the number of casualties been counted?" ”

Xi Zhicai nodded, and said with some difficulty: "The Lejin Department lost 1,800, almost the entire army was wiped out, the two Xiahou generals lost more than 2,000 generals, Cao Ren's general lost 800 cavalry, Yu Ban and Li Dian lost 2,600, a total of more than 6,000 infantry casualties, 800 cavalry casualties, and 1,000 war horses!" ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he couldn't suppress his anger, slammed his fist on the desk, and shouted: "Le Jin! What do you have to say? ”

Le Jin trembled, and his heart said that he should come, and he always wants to come! He took a few steps to Cao Cao's case, knelt down with a pop, kowtowed to the ground, and said, "The last general is guilty and willing to accept all punishments!" ”

Cao Cao pointed at him and said: "You don't respect the general's order first, and the command is unclear and your subordinates are lost, I sentence you to a decisive decision, can you be convinced?" ”

Le Jin was shocked and said: "Tell the lord, the last general is convinced!" ”

Cao Cao nodded and roared, "Okay! Come on, pull Le in out of the big tent, and make a decision! ”

The two elementary schools received the order, and immediately stepped forward and rushed out of the tent with Le Jin!

The generals and ministers hurriedly shouted: "Lord, slow down!" ”

The two junior colonels had probably seen too much of this situation, and they stopped immediately without waiting for Cao Cao's orders.

Cao Cao looked at the generals and ministers and said, "What do you have to say?" ”

The Xiahou brothers glanced at each other, and Xiahou said: "Lord, it is an offense to read in Lejin, so bypass him!" ”

Xi Zhicai said: "Lord, General Le Jin is certainly wrong, but he is a general, so let's write it down for the time being!" ”

Cao Ren said: "Lord, General Le has a lot of achievements, you can bypass him once!" ”

Cheng Yu said: "Lord, the battle is a general, and the army is ominous, please think twice!" ”

Li Dian said: "Lord, General Le Jin is really a good general, and he has the right to write down this mistake and treat him for meritorious service!" ”

……

Did Cao Cao really want to kill Le Jin? Of course not, he just showed the majesty of the military order, taught the generals a profound lesson, and made them all behave in the future! Le Jin, but the general under him who is best at attacking cities, although he is a little short-tempered, but this kind of talent, that is rare!

After listening to the pleading of the generals, he pondered for a while and said: "Lejin, since everyone is interceding for you, I will spare you once!" However, the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped, well, pull it down, and hit twenty military sticks hard, can you be convinced? ”

Le Jin hurriedly got rid of the grasp of the two small schools, knelt down to make a five-body throwing position, and shouted: "Thank you for the grace of the lord not to kill!" ”

Cao Cao nodded with satisfaction.

When everyone sat down again, he said, "Zhicai, how is the loss of Liu Da'erfang?" ”

Xi Zhicai said with some embarrassment: "Lord, we are afraid that our statistics are not accurate!" Lu Bufang lost about 800 cavalry, Guan Yu's cavalry lost about 200, Zhou Cang and Changfeng lost less than 1,000, and the 300-man iron guard was Tian Fan's personal soldiers, and the loss was about 100 people, in total, about 1,000 infantry and about 1,000 cavalry! ”

Cao Cao was shocked and asked, "Why is the loss gap so big?" ”

Xi Zhicai said: "Lord, let's ask the generals to talk about it!" ”

Cao Cao listened, looked at the Xiahou brothers, the two of them hugged Cao Cao at the same time, Xiahou said ashamedly: "Lord, when we attacked, we happened to be attacked by Lu Bu's Bingzhou cavalry, due to the close distance, only less than four miles, our formation did not have time to expand, it was taken by Lu Bu by surprise!" Please, the Lord punish sin! ”

Cao Cao nodded, did not speak, but looked at Li Dian and Yu Ban, the two of them hugged their fists in shame, Li Dian said: "Lord, when we led the army to Liu Beijun's camp, Guan Yu's cavalry had already left the camp gate, we had just sorted out the team, and when we wanted to block the gate of the village, the other party's camp gate opened, and Zhou Cang and Chang Feng rushed out, and at the same time, the other party shot overwhelming crossbow arrows from nowhere, and our army lost nearly a thousand people in an instant, morale was setback, and the formation was also chaotic!" Immediately after, the opposing infantry rushed up, and we were in a bitter battle! The formation used by the other party, we have never seen before, and it is very powerful! Therefore...... Please, the Lord punish sin! ”…,

Cao Cao nodded again, still did not speak, looked at Le Jin, Le Jin felt even more ashamed, he said: "Lord, the end will be a capital crime!" The last general heard from his subordinate Sima that there was a 300 Liu army wearing iron armor outside the camp, and he was besieging 100 of our army, thinking of killing them and taking their iron armor, so he neatly ordered 1,600 people out of the camp. By the time they arrived at the location, the 100 soldiers and 300 soldiers who had rushed to the place of the incident had already lost everything. Immediately after that, the last general saw that the leader of the other party turned out to be Tian Fan, and the last general thought of his threat to our army, so he led his troops to attack them, but they put on a ...... The formation that the last general has never seen before, the defense is extremely proper, and the last general can't take them for a while!

"Just when the last general changed his strategy and wanted to besiege them and wait for the support of the two Xiahou generals, Lu Bu's iron cavalry was dispatched...... He led 800 guards cavalry to attack the last general, and Tian Fan's more than 200 ironclad troops also attacked the last general......

"By the time General Cao Ren's cavalry arrived, there were less than six hundred of the general's men left! The last general saw General Cao and immediately cooperated with him and surrounded Lu Bu and Tian Fan, but just as we wanted to eat the other party, Guan Yu's 3,000 cavalry and Cao Xingchenglian's more than 3,000 cavalry rushed over...... After a scuffle, there were only more than 200 people left under the last general...... The end will be guilty! ”

Cao Cao still didn't speak, and he didn't ask Cao Ren, Cao Chun, and the combat power of the Iron Cavalry in the state, how could he not understand? Halfway, he sighed and said, "This is the will of heaven, and it is not a crime of war!" Our infantry, when the formation is not in order and the equipment is not in order, against the opposing cavalry, or against the infantry with the help of crossbow formation, is there a reason to be invincible? This is not the sin of the generals! ”

For a while, the atmosphere in the big tent was a little dull!

After a while, Cheng Yu said: "Lord, don't be discouraged, I'll wait for a rest first, and then find the field next time!" ”

Cao Cao nodded, put away his somewhat frustrated mood, and said, "Yes, what Zhongde said is reasonable!" I hope that all the generals will be ashamed and brave, and in the coming year, we will find the field again! ”

Everyone said in unison: "No! ”

After Cao Cao cleaned up his mood, he asked the generals to summarize some of the experiences of this battle, but the generals had nothing to say...... The battle itself was an accident, Qin Da unexpectedly met Siyu, and then was killed, Le Jin unexpectedly met Tian Fan, and later unexpectedly met Lu Bu, so he was abused, Li Dian and Yu Ban unexpectedly met Zhou Cang, Chang Xuan, Zhou Ting, so they were abused, and the Xiahou brothers unexpectedly met Cao Xing and Cheng Lian, so they were also abused. In the end, this summary found that the infantry and cavalry on their side were always tragic, and they were always controlled by others, and it is not difficult to understand that the gap in losses was so large......

Cao Cao thought in his heart, don't say it's a coincidence, it's a deliberate arrangement, I'm afraid I won't follow this step like this, hey, is it really God who helps Liu and Cao? Thinking of this, Cao Cao couldn't help but feel a little flustered!

If the whole process of this battle was planned by the other party, and he was in the middle of it, even if he also suffered such a big loss, Cao Cao would not have such a ridiculous feeling. However, this kind of battle that was completely made up of coincidences, but his side suffered such a big loss, which made him somewhat unacceptable!

If it's because the opponent is using a trick, just be careful next time, if it's because the opponent's combat power is really stronger than your own, you can just train hard. But it was this kind of failure that came from countless accidents and countless coincidences that made it difficult for him to explain! Naturally, the blame for the inexplicable problem is to be attributed to God......

For a while, Cao Cao felt a little frightened!
