Chapter 158 The end of the war
Not to mention, those who are close to pigs are fat and those who are close to ink are black!After staying with Guo Jia for a long time, Wang Hou will also play the game!This sentence is ingenious, you rectify the army, I decided to see the situation, neither said to chase, nor vetoed not to pursue!In this way, Yu Jin felt that the infantry general was stable, and Xia Houyuan didn't think that the infantry general was a coward, so they could be regarded as decent.

If it is for the good of the Central Plains Military Group, it is undoubtedly the best policy to pursue, but Wang Hou still decided not to pursue it!
No move, Jia Xu reminded him, look at Xun Yu!
In terms of merit, Xun Yu can really be called Cao Cao's Xiao He, and Cao Cao's ability to gain a foothold in Yanzhou can really be called thanks to Xun Yu's merits, and like Zhong Yao, Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia, Yan Xiang, A series of talents such as Wei Kang and Du Ji were recommended by Xun Yu, and the Yingchuan faction headed by Xun Yu occupied most of Cao Cao's command.

This is also one of the important reasons why Xun Yu squeezed out Wang Hou. He was not from a core gentry family, and he was not from the Yingchuan School.

But this is also one of the important reasons why Cao Cao supported Wang Hou. Cao Cao had already expressed worry and dissatisfaction with the dominance of the Yingchuan faction. Wang Hou can be regarded as the Bingzhou gentry faction, and Xuzhou Chen Deng, who had a good relationship with Wang Hou, was gradually uprooted by him. In the next few years in history, as soon as Yuan Shao's Yecheng was defeated, Cao Cao named himself Jizhou Shepherd. Moving the Wei capital to Yecheng was also one of the reasons for getting rid of the influence of the Yingchuan gentry.

But this time, Wang Hou seems to have followed Xun Yu's old path, and he really shined in this battle at Guandu!
The prefect of Tundong County, he hoarded more than 70 shi of military rations. This is the first time that Cao Cao has never worried about the military rations. He also captured the opponent's camp with a backhand, and then went to pursue it. In case Yuan Shao was slaughtered, what face would Cao Cao, the lord, face?
Besides, Cao Cao's order to Wang Hou was to stay in the camp, so there is still an excuse to counterattack Yuan Shao's camp, is it to use offense as defense?But if you want to fight again, it's a bit beyond the scope of your authority. Working for the leader is too active, which may not be a good thing!
Cao Jun's internal opinions are still not uniform. In this case, it is better to be steady.

But in this battle, Wang Hou really had a lot of things to do. Although he was in the rear, he still captured more than 7000 Hebei infantrymen and more than 4 Hebei civilians and civilians in Yuan Shao's camp. He captured food, weapons, Not counting the weight of the chariot or anything else, there were more than 5 prisoners alone, and [-] soldiers were surrendered, which was even more than Cao's army!The poor handling of the captives is also a big trouble. Fortunately, steel and concrete are used as strategic materials. There are plenty of these things. After disarming, Wang Hou drove them all into Zhongmu County, and built another prison wall on Zhongmu County's Central Street. The captives were isolated in it.

In Zhongmou County, there are still a few familiar figures in the turret, but this time, Fang Yue is lurking in the Wuchao Camp, and Deng Di and the others are all elated. After making great contributions, according to Wang Hou's promise, they will be promoted soon, and they can finally live the life of rich people!
Wang Hou didn't break his promise, and he directly held out a stack of thick letters of appointment with a smile.

"Yuan Su in northern Hebei has meritorious service in lurking, and Texugong is a martial arts official, with a thousand acres of land, a hundred pieces of cloth and silk, and ten slaves! , a hundred bolts of cloth and silk, and ten servants and servants! Wait for the meritorious officers and men under your command to report, and I will report to the Shang Shuling, and then I will reward you!"

"Thank you, Ambassador!"

Originally, they were just poor soldiers, but when they turned around and became officials, they really gained face and confidence. The two survivors were overjoyed, and they kept clasping fists and bowing. Wang Hou also smiled and waved his hands with a smile .

"The cafeteria is ready to eat, you wait to rest!"

After sending the two of them away, Wang Hou's smile faded away, and he looked at Deng He solemnly. Deng He, who was originally overjoyed, couldn't help being excited, and clasped his fists in astonishment.

"Ming Gong, but did Deng do something wrong?"

"It's not that you did something wrong, it's that I'm uneasy! In Xunyu Xunlingzhong, I obtained two official titles. Xinye is not in the hands of the prime minister. This one is the inspector of Xudu, Li Shuting Lieutenant, the rank ratio is four hundred stones, and the other is the Xunbei school lieutenant, also the rank ratio is four hundred stones!"

In Deng Gai's astonishment, Wang Hou shook his head solemnly.

"The battle is not over yet!"

Deng Hui is a smart man, and he immediately understood the meaning of the difference between the two positions. The inspector can retire after success, and everyone can enjoy the life of a petty gentry. We must continue to go deep into the Northland, continue to go through life and death, and risk our lives in front of the internal response.

Seeing him lost in thought, Wang Hou stood up solemnly again, and grabbed Deng Gan's hand very emotionally.

"Yuzhi, I don't force you! You can choose these two!"

His expression fluctuated obviously, and in the next second, Deng Hui pulled out his hand with great difficulty, clasped his fists heavily and bowed.

"Can Xiaguan's family in Beiling receive Xu Du?"

"Of course, I treat your mother as an elder, your wife as a sister-in-law, and your son as a nephew!"

This promise was heavy enough, and Deng Ga no longer hesitated, and bowed heavily for the second time with clasped fists.

"The next official chooses this patrol captain!"

"Thank you!"

It's not just a show to win over, it's not easy to cultivate a spy, Wang Hou also held his fists with emotion, and bowed heavily.

It is true that the psychological gap is big enough, and others have enjoyed the credits with fine clothes and wine, but once again, Deng He brought a few men who were willing to follow him, and was once again imprisoned in a prisoner-of-war camp, and then went to eat hard steamed buns. Developing offline, standing on the turret looking at him, shaking his head with some guilt, Wang Hou stretched out his hand and called Zhao Yun, who was guarding him, over.

"Old Zhao, you are familiar with Hebei, I would like to trouble you to make a trip to bring back Deng Hui and several of his family members! All the money, silk, food and salaries needed can be taken by Guan Qiling!"

"I will understand at the end!"

I really admired Deng Hui, who was so timid and afraid of death, but was able to risk his life and continue to move forward with such a heavy mission on his back!It's a man!Zhao Yun also clasped his fists heavily, and immediately turned around and went down the turret.

Looking back, Wang Hou once again looked at the prisoner-of-war camp below.

…………

After another two days of counting and integration, Cao Cao finally returned to the camp with Xia Houyuan and others a little anxious.

There were 1 people in the past, but only 7000 came back. It can be seen that the battle of Wuchao was not easy. Even the flags and flags were burned, and many holes were burned. However, in addition to the 2 people in the headquarters, Cao Cao also brought back nearly With more than [-] captives, after the Wuchao was defeated, Cao always did it himself, and raided Yuan Shao's defeated soldiers on the way. Until now, Yuan Shao has no heart to fight at all!His last army was also defeated, and with only [-] cavalry, he fled back to Hebei in a hurry along the White Horse camp.

But after all, Yuan Shao fled back. As long as he is still alive, he will still be the master of the four northern states. After all, there is still hope of turning defeat into victory!
Looking at the returning army, Wang Hou was quite moved. An old acquaintance with banners, the former general Xiahou Dun's horse's neck, hung the head of an acquaintance of Wang Hou's, Chunyu Qiong.

Lao Chun is not as addicted to alcohol as in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". He has been in contact with him twice, and his scheming and strength still impress Wang Hou. Unfortunately, in this time and space, he met the combination of Wang Hou and Cao Cao. The last one was a complete failure after all, and his nose and head were cut off, but this era is so cruel!If Cao Cao hadn't been the one who defeated this time, Wang Hou probably would have had melon seeds hanging on Chunyuqiong's horse's neck.

The world is like this, so after only a moment of emotion, Wang Hou hastily led the generals to greet him excitedly.

"Chen Wang Hou, congratulations to the Prime Minister on his triumphant return to the camp!"
