Follow General Cao to mix the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 135 Standing firm
As the Roman proverb goes, a naval battle can ruin your day!This sentence is equally appropriate when applied to land warfare. Yuan Shaojun appeared on the battlefield at Sishi, deployed at noon, and was defeated at Shenshi. Now the sun has already set, and the Guandu camp is plunged into darkness. There are only small dots of torches. Shine in the night sky.

Today's Guandu battle is definitely worthy of the wonderful Guandu battle in history!With more than [-] people, Cao Jun defeated Yuan Shao's army, which was three times larger, and the number of beheadings and captures has not yet been calculated, but at least Yuan Jun's chariot troops are finished. The nearly complete ones were thrown on the battlefield and became Cao Jun's trophies, and the archers above did not run away, and were dejectedly escorted down.

However, the ugly side of the war was also revealed. Although they were exhausted after fighting for a day, Cao cavalry and infantry returned to the battlefield with their tired bodies. !Search for the treasures of Yuan Junzhan's dead!

Bring back weapons, armor, and irons!
Wang Hou was guarding the edge of the ditch. Under his hands, hundreds of strong men were sweating profusely with ropes in the ditch outside the camp, pulling out the full tanks that filled the ditch. These chariots, which cost Yuan Shao a million dollars, are now almost unable to escape the fate of being burned, and the dead or half-mutilated horses underneath are also under Wang Hou's care, butchered, skinned, Meat can also serve as military rations for a few days.

However, these jobs obviously don't have much technical content, and Wang Hou didn't take care of them carelessly. He pinched his chin with a few mustaches, and Wang Hou was still thinking about the last scene he saw just now.

It was Yuan Shao who was narrow-minded and indecisive, but Yuan Shao's main advisers, most of the generals were almost loyal to his Yuan family. Historically, Guo Tu, Judgment, etc. were all killed in battle!It can be seen Yuan Shao's character, but among these loyal ministers who died for the Lord, a guy named Xu You was not included!Whether it was "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" or the new history "Three Kingdoms", it was he who betrayed Yuan Shao's camp and betrayed Yuan Shao's food storage place, Wuchao, which led to the disastrous defeat of the Hebei camp in the Guandu War, and the entire army was wiped out!

But in the binoculars just now, the old boy's energy to save Yuan Shao regardless of his own life just made Wang Hou mutter, what a person!Don't evaluate a person in vain until the coffin is concluded, or there is something else hidden in it!
And although Yuan Shao was defeated today, the battle at Guandu is far from over. After killing 9 beheads today, Yuan Shao still has [-]. Minus the dead and injured, he is still three times as many as Cao Jun!Moreover, the four prefectures in Hebei behind Yuan Shao also provided him with supplies and soldiers continuously.

Another thing that bothers Wang Hou is that in history, Xu You needed to betray him to send important information. Yuan Shao stationed troops in Wuchao. Wang Hou had already known about this matter in advance. After exploring around Chaohu Lake, I have a general understanding of the local geographical environment.

If the information is revealed to Cao Cao now, what impact will it have on the Guandu battle that is in full swing?
It's all unknown!

Just when Wang Hou was in a trance, not far away, there were bursts of shrill screams, which were mixed with fierce shouts, which suddenly interrupted Wang Hou's thinking, watching him choose Raising his eyebrows, Zang Hong immediately coughed, and led a few soldiers to follow behind Wang Hou with their halberds in hand, and followed him towards the sound.

Although the entire battlefield was filled with a bloody smell, but this place, the bloody smell was obviously stronger. Not far from the main position, more than 100 Cao soldiers were full of anger, kicking and kicking something around there. On the ground, a large swath of dark liquid was wet, several freshly severed heads were rolling there, and a man's mournful cries were still ringing out there.

Do as the Romans do, and now Wang Hou is also a man of status, if he didn't go up rashly, he would yell at you for doing it!With his hands behind his back and his head held up very reservedly, Zang Hong went up and pulled in a rough voice.

"Hey! What are you doing?"

"Back, back to the general! These Hebei barbarians are too hateful! Brothers are avenging Paoze!"

Kill the prisoners!What this group of guys did was obviously not an open and aboveboard thing. The guy who took the lead, Cao Jun, was so frightened by Zang Hong's cold voice that he hurriedly turned around, clasped his fists, and bowed heavily.

"General, spare your life! The little one is also following orders! The little one shoots arrows with his eyes closed, and there are old mothers and sick wives at home. The little one really doesn't want to die!"

Just as the head of the village finished speaking, Yuan Bing, who was crying with a blue nose and a swollen face, was already crying with his hands tied behind his back, kowtowing his head like pounding garlic, begging for mercy, his face was clearly visible in the torchlight Full of fear, weeping like a coward.

Not to mention, the matter is not over here, he has not finished begging for mercy, another Yuan Bing who was being pushed and kneeling on the ground next to him kicked him hard on the ass, causing him to stagger and fall into a pool of blood. While slumping on the ground and kicking him non-stop, the head of the Hebei archer was still furiously cursing.

"Coward! Coward! You have a bowl-sized scar on your head, I would have cut you off if I knew it!"

Being kicked and rolling all over the floor, the corners of Wang Hou's mouth twitched when he heard the screaming cry of a big man. Fortunately, at this time, Cao Bing, who was watching the excitement, made a move and dragged the two of them away together. When he was dragged into the group of prisoners, there was another round of punching and kicking.

"My lord! It's not appropriate to meddle in this matter!"

Seeing that Qu Cao's soldiers were all furious, guessing that under the rain of arrows, their casualties were not good, so Zang Hong hesitantly clasped his fists to beg Wang Hou next to him.

But looking at the dozen or so Yuan Jun screaming in the crowd, Wang Hou narrowed his eyes with interest. It wasn't that he was overflowing with sympathy. He was a bitch, really!Cowards are sometimes a resource!
"stop!"

A sudden voice made all the Cao soldiers who were vicious and torturing stiff. Seeing Wang Hou swaying towards him under the torch, the head of the village who took the lead in beating people and killing people once again clasped his fists fiercely, He gritted his teeth and threatened fiercely.

"My envoy, this is the blood feud between me and these Hebei barbarians, please don't interfere! Otherwise, your face will be ruined, don't blame the little ones for being rude!"

"How dare you fucking talk to my lord like that!"

I don't want to intervene, but I can't stand these words!He pulled out the knife all of a sudden, and Zang Hong put his face on the face of the commander Cao Bing. The sharp blade rested directly on his neck, and he stared at him with murderous eyeballs.But the knives were all on the neck, but the head of the village still stiffened his neck and stared at him. Under this scene, whether it was the killing of Cao Bing or Wang Hou's personal guards, they all put their hands on the blades, watching the tense atmosphere. Suddenly, Wang Hou waved his hand lightly.

"Zang Hong retreat!"

Very boss-like, he looked at the head of the village with a stiff neck and a head taller than himself, Wang Hou stretched out three fingers and spoke slowly.

"You have no soldiers killed in battle, and the family members can go to my Wang Hou's mansion to get three pieces of silk and three strings of money! Or you can cut them down!"

These words obviously stunned the head of the village, his face was tangled as if he was constipated, he struggled for a few minutes, but he was helpless and still defeated by the heavy reality, he clasped his fists weakly and bowed his head.

"Your Majesty means what you say?"

"Although my Yexiangcang Cao's reputation is not very good, it seems that I haven't counted my words yet! After this battle, you can go to my house with the roster to redeem it. If I break my promise and lose weight, you can scold me in the street. Hou is a liar!"

"Okay, since that's the case, it's a deal!"

Seeing Wang Hou's slow and pretentious appearance, finally, the tough man also lowered his head, and he clasped his fists helplessly, then turned around and followed his subordinates, shouting loudly: "Listen to my order! Return to the camp!"

A group of Cao Jun was not reconciled, glaring resentfully at the Hebei archers who were beaten and lying on the ground, spitting and swaying slowly back to Guandu camp, but Wang Hou was all bankrupt, and a group of Hebei soldiers actually Still ungrateful, the soldier who kicked the person just now struggled to sit up, spit out a mouthful of big yellow teeth, tilted his head and cursed angrily.

"Where the hell is that hypocrisy, you have the guts, kill me now, or one day it will fall into my hands, and you will be worse off than dead!"

"You goddamn..."

"Come here, take these guys back and put them in a prisoner-of-war camp!"

Wang Hou spoke again, and several of the soldiers picked up one by one, dragging the archers with bruised noses, swollen faces, and cramped legs to the camp. They froze there for a while, and then Zang Hong turned around resentfully and clasped his fists again. complained.

"My lord, why bother to save this group of white-eyed wolves?"

"Yuan Shao is so popular in the army!"

Not paying attention to him immediately, Wang Hou frowned first, humming worriedly, and then his eyes fell on the few prisoners who were being escorted farther and farther away, and a sinister smile hung on the corner of his mouth .

"Don't underestimate this group of white-eyed wolves, that coward just now is even comparable to thousands of cavalry!"

…………

After cleaning the battlefield for more than half the night, the results of the first fierce battle between the forces of Hebei and the Central Plains Group, Yuan Shao, a rich family like Yuan Shao, and a wealthy landlord like Cao Cao, have finally been counted. There are enough corpses left on the battlefield. More than 5000, including more than 2 captives, the cold weapon era calculated losses based on four times the number of casualties. Yuan Shao lost at least 3000 taels of [-] troops, and there were countless ordnance supplies.

You can kill 100 people and damage yourself by [-]. In the afternoon, under Yuan Jun's attack like a rising tide, Cao Jun also killed more than [-] people and injured [-] people. The anger was so distorted that most of Cao Jun's casualties were thanks to these Hebei archers.

It sounds like this loss figure is much smaller than Yuan Shaojun's loss, but the injuries here are all injuries to a certain extent, and the wounded who have lost combat effectiveness have lost a full one-seventh. For Cao Jun, who is at a disadvantage in numbers , is enough to be regarded as traumatic.

Moreover, the scout cavalry sent out last night brought back the latest information of the Hebei army. After retreating for thirty miles, Yuan Shao regrouped, gathered up the scattered troops, and set up camp again. Thirty miles away, the Central Plains The two largest military groups faced each other eyeing each other near Guandu in Jishui.

In terms of the situation, Cao Jun was still at a disadvantage, not to mention the large number of troops and the small number of soldiers. Behind Yuan Shao was the prairie. At this time, the Huns had already declined, and the Xianbei and Wuhuan people had not yet risen. Moreover, Yecheng, Yuan Shao's old nest, was still in Jizhou. After traveling for thousands of miles, he is safe and sound in the rear.

But in Xudu, Zhang Xiu and the ambitious Liu Biao had just surrendered to the south. After Yuan Shu vomited blood and died in the south, a lot of warlords and generals were left behind. He is also eyeing fat meat, Cao Cao needs to worry much more than Yuan Shao.

However, under Yuan Shao's menacing 11 army crusade, Cao Cao still stood still, and had the capital to continue to confront Yuan Shao.

And compared to Yuan Shao, he also has a good housekeeper!
The wounded soldiers who were just removed from the battlefield last night were immediately transferred to Zhongmou's rear army camp. Wang Hou is really selfless. The guest of his family, the old fairy Yu Ji, and a group of apprentices were all fooled by him. Military doctors, and even Lu Ji have been mobilized into battle!In the middle of the tents, a hot cauldron was constantly steaming, tugging at the sleeves, glistening sweat on the forehead, holding the sleeves, busy Lu Ji kept instructing the campers strong.

"According to the master's order! All the silk cloth used for bandaging must be boiled in boiling water!"

"The firewood is burning! You must keep warm in the tent! Liu Jia, Zhang Bing, you must keep an eye on the old fairy Yu Jiyu with your people, and the hot water must never be cut off! Bring out a basin, and bring it in immediately! These are all It's human life!"

As expected of Miss Lu Mansion, when Lu Bu was busy fighting, Lu Ji had to help Mrs. Ren take care of the Lu Mansion. After accumulating all these experiences, in her pleasant voice, a wounded barracks with thousands of people was organized by her in an orderly manner. !
However, in the era of cold weapons, 80.00% of the casualties occurred after the war. In this era, there were no antibiotics. If two out of ten wounded soldiers survived the infection in the summer, it would be God’s blessing, even in late autumn. Even Lu Ji tried her best, but the rescue failed, and the wounded soldiers who died on the hospital bed after bleeding or infection and festering were still carried out one by one, and the speed of digging holes and burying them couldn't keep up.

After all, she is a little girl from everyone, and successive rescue failures have caused extra psychological pressure on Lu Ji, and seeing a tent being emptied, beads of sweat on her forehead are already rolling like a stream, and she anxiously grabs a patrolling relative. Bing, Lu Ji ordered anxiously and helplessly.

"Go find the master and come back! This back camp, I really can't stand it anymore!"

"Yes! Ma'am!"

With a loud promise, the soldier turned around and ran, heading straight for Zhongmu County.

At this time, the entire Zhongmu County was completely empty, and more than 2 Zhongmu residents were moved to the south. The county government in the city was used as a granary, hoarding the grain that Wang Hou had finally drawn in Puyang. The block was blocked with wood and stones and used as a prisoner-of-war camp. More than 100 Hebei Yuan Jun captured in the Battle of Baima were all detained here, and more than 1000 Yuan Jun who were captured yesterday were also escorted in one after another. .

Holding the binoculars, Wang Hou looked down deeply. Beside him, the cowardly coward who was redeemed by him on the battlefield yesterday knelt on the ground tremblingly.

"Want to live?"
