In the halls.

Cao Ang was listening to Cao Chun's report.

"General, that guy named He Luo has spoken, and he hasn't even used the torture instrument yet, and he has already made all the moves as soon as he is put out."

Cao Ang couldn't help but smile.

If this person could grit his teeth and not speak, that would be something that surprised Cao Ang.

"What did he say?"

Cao Chun bowed, then took out a record document and relayed it to Cao Ang about the contents recorded on it.

"General Hui, according to this confession, after they were defeated by Gongsun Zan in the Dongguang Realm, less than 200,000 of the more than 300,000 people remained, but after returning to Qingzhou, they defeated the Beihai Xiang Kong Rong, but they expanded their forces to more than 200,000 again."

"Then on the road through Taishan County, Jibei Kingdom, and Dongping Kingdom, the people were coerced one after another, and the total number of young and strong soldiers once reached 250,000."

"The two forces diverged in Wuyan County, and the one coming to our side was led by Zhang Rao, the commander of the Qingzhou Qu Marshal , with a total number of about 80,000."

"More than 10,000 people were sent to Yuncheng, and there were more than 60,000 people in Liaoqiu County."

The corners of Cao Ang's mouth couldn't help twitching twice.

No wonder there was so much pressure before.

The opponent was actually more than 60,000 people who stepped on horseback.

The difference in force is more than ten times.

You really look up to me!

It is also thanks to the elite soldiers on his side, and the enemy's individual soldiers are of low quality and are not regular troops, otherwise I am afraid that the previous defense of the city will not last for an hour.

However, it is precisely because of his own side that most of the troops are shared, so there are many fewer people who go to Zhang Liao.

With only more than 10,000 people, with Zhang Wenyuan's ability and the elite of the 3,000 Tiger Battalion, it is not easy to counterattack, but there is no problem in holding on.

This made Cao Ang feel at ease.

……

"We are 80,000 people along the way, which means that in Shouzhang County, the main force of the decisive battle with Yanzhou Liu Jianshi has a total number of about 1780,000."

"It's really hard to imagine, how many men and horses does Liu Gongshan need to be able to fight such a huge army, if he can succeed, I am afraid he will be the god of war in the world."

As he spoke.

Cao Ang also shook his head.

I almost didn't write the words "I don't like him" on his face.

For something like this.

Cao Chun is naturally not easy to interject.

can only wait for Cao Ang to finish sighing, and then report to him: "According to He Luo's confession, according to the plan they originally formulated, after taking the three northern counties, they will break all the way to the south. ”

"It's just that now that he has returned from a big defeat here, the remaining troops may not have the courage to go south anymore, and he believes that Qu Shuai Zhang Rao and others will definitely choose to go north into Dongjun, and even turn into scattered troops and flee into Jizhou in a hurry."

Cao Ang bowed slightly.

"The man surnamed Zhang doesn't have many remnants left in his hands, if he wants to be interested, he will find a mountain and be a thief himself, if he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, then after we control the entire Yanzhou, we will free up our hands to exterminate him."

"By the way, the number of surrenders, the number of kills, and our own battle losses, have these numbers been counted?"

I heard Cao Ang ask this question.

The expression on Cao Chun's face suddenly became excited.

Originally, he was still a little serious.

All of a sudden, I became a lot more excited.

The movement quickly groped in his arms for a while, and then he found a small strip of cloth, respectfully handed it to Cao Ang, and then said with a smile.

"General, we're rich!"

"A total of more than 40,000 people were recruited, and in the previous battle of attacking and defending the city, nearly 10,000 enemies were killed and wounded, and the thieves who fled scattered were probably less than 10,000."

"In addition, our army also has nearly 1,000 casualties, but most of them are wounded, and the number of dead is only a few hundred, which can be regarded as a very small casualty."

"In addition, when the previous enemy commander retreated in a hurry, he didn't have time to carry too many things, and most of the property they had obtained by robbing many county towns before fell on the battlefield, and they had been pulled back by the last general's people and stored in the barracks for the time being."

……

I did get rich.

Cao Chun's words are not false at all.

More than 40,000 people!

And all of them are young adults, even if most of them are hungry and can't walk, and even the tortured spirit is numb and skinny.

But just raise it for a while.

You can rejuvenate yourself!

What is the Cao family lacking most now?

Food, minerals, money, these are all lacking.

But what is most lacking is people!

Ploughing the land, mining and mining, forming a new army, all of these things need living people.

Population is the foundation of a power.

There is no population, and there is no money, food, and other materials, and in the eyes of some big forces, they are just fat sheep to be slaughtered.

But things are different now.

The Cao family has obtained such a large team, as long as it can be smoothly absorbed and transformed, it can be quickly transformed into actual productivity.

Don't say anything else.

At present, if the Cao family wants to expand the number of troops, there is no need to send the generals under them to travel thousands of miles to several surrounding counties to recruit people hard.

Just pick it directly among the young and strong.

And pick the rest, you can also pick out some of them and use them for mining, not to mention using them as slaves, even if they are normal as miners, they are definitely a very strong and very fresh blood.

Just send these people to Ren Jun.

That kid doesn't have to be struggling anymore, he takes hundreds of people to stay there, and excavates little by little, which can greatly speed up the progress of the project.

And after removing these two groups of people.

The rest of the people will be able to use it to cultivate the fields.

With the Tuntian system that the Cao family will most likely implement in the future, it can quickly stabilize the rear.

So in any way.

These tens of thousands of people are an extremely large amount of wealth, which can make the Cao family's forces, which are already in the fast lane, once again jet forward.

It's so comfortable!

Cao Ang's thoughts were flying for a while, and he couldn't help but hit the idea, and he was currently on the main force in Shouzhang County.

Wait until Liu Dai's old boy hangs up.

His father, Cao Cao, took control of Yanzhou.

We must find a way to swallow all the main forces of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, if we can digest it completely, the Cao family's forces will be rich in an instant.

Not to mention, after taking the main forces.

There are still hundreds of thousands of old and weak homeless people in the rear.

These old and weak women and children are also a resource, and they cannot do heavy physical work, but daily farming, as well as light work such as weaving, can also increase the wealth of the whole Yanzhou.

Do not say.

Gluttonous!

……

"Zihe, you instruct you to go down and let the names of the brothers who died in battle be recorded, and when they return to Dingtao County, they must send their money for their lives to their families, and they cannot be sacrificed in vain."

"The wounded brothers will also be given an extra reward, and the rest of the soldiers will be rewarded as much as we promised before the war!"

"Didn't you say that it was seized on the battlefield, and the Yellow Turban Thief had robbed a large amount of wealth before, and the money used for the pension came out of here."

Talking about such serious issues.

Cao Chun immediately became solemn.

Post-war pensions and rewards for the living must be done well, but any mistake will lead to a decrease in the combat effectiveness of the army.

That's why Cao Ang said so.

Cao Chun immediately nodded solemnly.

"The general can rest assured, the last general will definitely obey the orders and will never miss such a big thing."

Cao Ang let out an "um".

"You go and arrange it first, remember that in the past few days before General Xiahou arrived, no matter day and night, you must be strictly guarded, and someone must always keep an eye on the places where the prisoners are held."

"Whenever a mass riot is discovered, then it must be ruthless, and quickly send troops to suppress them, and the prisoners who will rebel are not as good as the dead prisoners!"

On the march and fighting.

There is no way to overflow with compassion.

You have to make yourself hard-hearted.

Extinguish all possible signs.

This is the performance of being responsible for yourself and everyone, and you can be considered a qualified manager.

Cao Chun received the order again.

Then he left in a hurry.

…………

Three days later.

It is located at the north gate of Dingtao County.

It is still strictly forbidden to go out, but it is much better than the appearance of strict punctuality at the beginning, and at least the caravan is allowed to enter and exit, but it needs to be strictly interrogated.

this day.

Outside the city, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves, just as the defenders were on guard, hesitating to close the gates first.

And he saw a man riding a horse.

He was wearing the armor of a Cao soldier.

Holding a talisman flag in his hand, he shouted in a hurried tone while waving it from side to side.

"The front-line military situation is urgent, there is a major event to report to the king, and the front should be quickly avoided!"

As soon as I heard this.

The guards of the city gate did not dare to stop it at will.

And when he received the dropped order, he quickly cleared the passage and let the messenger enter.

A quarter of an hour later.

Taishou Fuzhong.

Cao Cao, who was just lying down in his clothes and was about to take a hasty nap, didn't have time to wash and change clothes.

Wearing a medium coat and putting on his shoes haphazardly, he quickly met the messenger.

And Xia Houdun and others, who heard that there was an urgent report on the front line, also rushed here.

"Fu Jun, General Cao ordered me to send an urgent report on the military situation, but it is the battle situation on the front line!"

Cao Cao couldn't wait to take the letter from the soldier's hand, and did not open it immediately, but asked in a hurried tone.

"Do you know how to win or lose at the front?"

"Back to the palace, the villain doesn't know the specific situation, but I only know that our army has defeated the enemy!"

When Cao Cao heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Good!"

"It's not easy for you to travel all the way, and go to rest with the people in the house!"

……

After the soldiers retreated.

Cao Cao did it in front of the table.

In front of Xiahoudun, Cao Hong, Chen Gong and others, he opened the letter, looked at it like a scan, and read it quickly.

It's just that Cao Cao was still able to maintain his composure at the beginning.

But when he reads the middle and late paragraphs.

The whole person was stunned.

I couldn't help but widen my eyes.

A boss with a mouth open.

It seems to have become a little stunned.

"Smack!"

After reading it, Cao Cao didn't even grasp the letter in his hand, causing it to fall on the table, making a crisp crashing sound.

That's what it looks like.

But everyone is in a hurry.

Xiahoudun couldn't help but ask: "Fujun, what's the situation, could it be that this is a miserable victory, is it that the number of casualties of our army is a bit too much, or is it ......?"

He didn't dare to ask in the back.

And Cao Cao glanced at everyone.

He shook his head slowly.

Just when everyone really thought that the situation on the front line was not good, and it was a victory that was won in exchange for paying a heavy price.

Cao Cao suddenly burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha!"

"Yuan Rang, a big victory, it's a complete victory, and it's just that I'm stunned."

"The Yellow Turban Thieves mobilized more than 60,000 troops to attack Liqiu County, and this battle was a strange plan, using cavalry to cooperate with the celestial phenomena, and the enemy's morale was shattered in a battle."

"A total of more than 40,000 people were captured alive, and nearly 10,000 enemy troops were killed, and the total number of casualties of our army in the entire battle was less than 1,000."

"This battle is enough to go down in history!"

……

The audience was amazed.

For a few seconds, everyone who heard the news wondered if there was something wrong with their ears, or if the information was wrong.

But after reacting.

And the people knew that it was impossible.

This military information is not only handed over by subordinates to superiors, but also passed on from sons to fathers.

There was no need for Cao Ang to lie about the military situation.

Besides, whether it was a miserable victory or a big victory, when Cao Ang returned triumphantly, everything was clear and clear.

This thing can't be hidden.

Therefore, what Cao Ang said must be the truth.

And if that's the case.

"Shhh...... Call! ”

In the hall was the sound of deep breaths.

Everyone was shocked.

It's just amazing.

With only a few thousand people, more than 60,000 enemies were defeated, and more than 40,000 were even captured.

What an exaggerated record?

In terms of the elite level of their own soldiers, as well as the equipment to defend the city, etc., they did not exceed too much to achieve such a record.

I can only illustrate one point.

Our main general is extremely high!

With superb commanding art, it directly made up for the gap between the two sides' forces, and created a classic battle of winning more with less.

And as Cao Cao said earlier.

Cao Ang used cavalry, in cooperation with celestial phenomena, to play a clever plan, so he defeated the enemy.

Xiahoudun and the others didn't know what the specific plan looked like, but Cao Ang was the one in charge and the one who formulated the clever plan.

It's definitely worth their horror.

At least people like Xiahoudun and Cao Hong, who are positioned as military generals, will definitely not be able to play such a record if they consciously put themselves in their shoes.

They can hold the city with difficulty.

That's pretty good!

Therefore, the two are in contrast.

How can Cao Ang not be a world-famous general?

"Fu Jun, if this battle is spread, I am afraid it will be famous all over the world!"

"Among our Cao family, there is now a world-famous general, this is a glorious lintel!"

Cao Hong did not hesitate to praise his words.

That's what I said.

The smile on Cao Cao's face became more and more overflowing.

He died happily!

……

"Ladies and gentlemen, after the discussion is over, I want you to do one thing, and that is to publicize the results of this battle as much as possible."

"It's not just to build momentum for Ziyu, but also to use this battle to beat the name of my Cao family."

"With the might of this battle, when I become the pastor of Yanzhou in the future and take charge of the land of a state, the counties and counties will be convinced of me within the week, and they will not dare to make any changes."

Everyone knows how important this is.

Immediately surrendered.

Expectedly.

After today.

The name of Cao Ang and Cao Zixuan will once again spread all over the world and shock the entire northern land.

Even the South may have heard of it.

Perhaps when the main force of the Yellow Turban Thieves heard the result of this battle, there was a high probability that they would not continue to go to Jiyin County, and they might turn around and run away.

That's the power of one man!

It's a pity that the Yellow Turban Thief doesn't have a stable territory, otherwise when Cao Ang's reputation spreads, he can talk about it.

"Cao Zi's name, stop the yellow scarf children from crying!"

Seeing that Xiahoudun and the others under his command were all gearing up, they were ready to make a name for Cao Ang after the meeting ended.

Cao Cao also showed a satisfied smile on his face.

Wonderful!

My son is worthy of a unicorn from heaven.

Not only is it resourceful, far-sighted, thoughtful, and has an extraordinary overall situation.

Single-handedly defeating Lu Bu by force, and even the ability to command and command on the battlefield can be called a famous general in the world.

Isn't this a proper all-rounder?

Such an incomparably perfect talent, looking left and right, can not find any shortcomings.

was actually born in my Cao family.

Time is the luck of the Cao family!

I heard that there will be sages in 500 years, and I think the great sages of these 500 years should be in my son's body.

…………

Under Cao Cao's deliberate propaganda.

Cao Ang defeated the Yellow Turban Thieves in Liaqiu County, and achieved the news of jaw-dropping results, as if he had grown wings, and quickly flew to various places in the north.

The first person to receive the news was naturally Liu Dai, the Yanzhou assassin who was closest to Dingtao County.

This guy is still on the march.

In a day or two, you will arrive in Shouzhang County.

When receiving this information, Liu Dai's first feeling was that his teeth were a little sore.

Half of his muscles were almost paralyzed.

What kind of macho man is this Nima?

He has also seen Cao Ang's son, and even has a deep impression of this kid.

After all, this guy fought with Lu Bu for hundreds of rounds on the battlefield in Yanshi County, and won the battle, which is really difficult to forget.

But he didn't expect Cao Ang to be so powerful in war.

It's a little sour.

Cao Mengde has such a son, what a blessing, why don't I, Liu Dai, have such a blessing?

But after the sourness.

Liu Dai became more and more confident.

Cao Ang was able to defeat the enemy army.

Of course, there are reasons for their high level.

But it must also be because the Yellow Turban thieves are too wasteful, and tens of thousands of people can't beat a few thousand.

This also proves more and more how wise his decision to fight the Yellow Turban Thieves in Shouzhang County is next.

Cao Ang was able to win big.

Can't he win a small victory?

It's easy to hear!

…………

Nanpi County, Bohai County.

Yuan Shao summoned two of his advisers.

Xu Yu and Feng Ji.

These two are all old men who he brought with him when he came out of Luoyang and served as the Taipuncy of Bohai County, so they are currently his most trusted team.

"Yuan Tu, Ziyuan, this kid of the Cao family is not simple, he can win more with less, and play such a brilliant record, looking at the history of hundreds of years, I am afraid that examples like this are rare."

Hear that.

The two had different reactions.

Feng Ji smiled wryly and shook his head helplessly.

But Xu You did not show a sad color, but a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, thinking thoughtfully about something.

It's only half an hour later.

Feng Jicai took a step forward, arched his hand to Yuan Shao, and then said with a light sigh.

"I thought that I was defeated by Gongsun Zhan first, and then I was defeated by Cao Ang, I am afraid that everyone in the world will think that the ant thief is vulnerable."

"It's just that if anyone doesn't take the ant thief in their eyes and thinks that they can achieve such a big victory, it will be a catastrophe.

Yuan Shao doesn't care about anyone else.

He only cares about himself.

So Wen Yan just shook his head.

"There is Gongsun Bogui in the north, Cao Ziyu in the south, this place in Bohai County is really not good, how did I meet two such fierce people at the same time."

Bohai County is the largest county in Jizhou.

Therefore, Yuan Shaoxuan was right.

It's just that he's a little depressed.

At the same time, he met two people who were so good at fighting, and they happened to be one south and one north, and they caught him in the middle.

It was so uncomfortable.

What's more, in the current troubled times, the weight of war can be much higher than others, and talents who can fight are more valuable than ordinary talents.

As the lord of one faction.

Yuan Shaobing has many generals and a wide reputation, and his protégés and former officials are all over the world, but he is caught in the middle, but he has become the weakest party on the battlefield.

How could this not make him unhappy?

……

Seeing that Yuan Shao was quite distressed.

Feng Ji's eyes turned, and he persuaded him in a deep voice at the right time: "Fujun, the top priority is to obtain the land of Jizhou as soon as possible, and this matter cannot be delayed!" ”

"If we can swallow the entire Jizhou, with the vastness of Jizhou, the large population, and the abundant food and soldiers, even if the two forces of Gongsun Zan and Cao Cao can fight well, we don't need to be afraid of them!"

Yuan Shao nodded.

He also understands this truth.

The matter of swallowing Jizhou has long been put on the agenda, but there has been no particularly good opportunity.

"Jizhou Mu Han Fu, although he is a protégé of my Yuan family, but when it comes to such a major event, how can he easily give up the land of a state to me."

"If it were a normal time, I would have met him with a sword, and it would be okay to forcibly order him to hand over Jizhou, but now the situation is different."

"Gongsun Chan is ready to move in the north, and he will send troops south in three days, his threat cannot be ignored, if I fall into a war with Han Fu, this person will definitely reap the benefits of the fisherman, so this matter still needs to be decided before moving."

Gongsun Zhan's threat is too great.

It's not like Cao Cao hasn't even mastered the entire Yanzhou at the moment, even if there is a threat, it will be in the future.

Gongsun Bogui is not only strong in combat, but also very active, especially likes to do things, and has long been covetous of Jizhou.

Once I gave him a chance.

He will take advantage of it.

Don't make wedding dresses for others when the time comes.

Then Yuan Shao was really angry.

That's why he's not moving.

……

Feng Ji is not a simple character.

After hearing Yuan Shao's concerns.

Ponder for a moment.

Then a rather insidious ploy was given.

"Fujun, we might as well lead Gongsun Zan south and let him come to Jizhou, so as to deceive him into leading troops into Jizhou and put some pressure on Han Fu."

"At the same time, we will tell Han Fu that Gongsun Chan wants to take his Jizhou, if he doesn't want to die at the hands of Gongsun Chan, it is better to dedicate Jizhou to us, and we will save his life."

"In this way, won't Jizhou be at your fingertips?"
