The three countries are very nuclear

Chapter 560 Cutting the beard and abandoning the robe may be late, but it will never be absent
Near midnight, Guan Yu finally captured all the defeated remnants.At this time, Zhang Liao had already led his troops ashore, and cooperated with Guan Yu to count the number of prisoners.

The crowd kept busy until the East was turning white, and finally counted all the prisoners.

After a day and a night of tossing and bloodshed, even as the winning side, the soldiers under Guan Yu and Zhang Liao's command were already very tired and hungry.

Just after the prisoners were settled, Guan Yu ordered to bury the pot and make rice, and the smell of rice wafted out after a while.

Wei Yan walked over with a bowl of cooked rice porridge in one hand and a large bag of dried meat in the other.

"Father, let's eat something first."

Guan Yu looked around and found that the soldiers had also started eating, so he nodded, took the bowl of rice porridge from Wei Yan, and ate it with the jerky.

Jerky that has been marinated and air-dried is naturally not very delicious, but during the war, it is considered good to have this kind of food.

Even for this pickled jerky, it was only after the Lin Dynasty took power in Xuzhou that the pigs and dogs were pulled out of the huts, raised in captivity on the ground, and the method of castrating pigs was vigorously promoted, so that the soldiers could eat it every now and then.

But even so, limited by the hygienic conditions, and people have always liked to keep pigs and dogs in the toilet, the meat quality is not good, and there are even many parasites, especially the pork tapeworm, which has almost disappeared in later generations.

This will not change in a short period of time, it will take a long time for development, and it is not bad to be able to make a good start now.

But as Guan Yu, he ate mutton jerky, not pork jerky.

Guan Yu was enjoying his meal when he suddenly heard a burst of hearty laughter.

"A certain soldier and the military advisor spent a day and a night exhausted driving fish for the Yuan. I don't think it's Yun Chang who solved his appetite first. It's really not particular!"

Guan Yu turned his head and saw Zhang Liao and Xun You striding over.

Seeing this, Guan Yu also smiled.

Xuzhou is like a cloud of fierce generals. Although there are no factional disputes, it is inevitable that some small circles will be divided according to their temperament.

Guan Yu and Zhang Liao are obviously the same kind of people, and it is common sense to have a better relationship.

Hearing Zhang Liao's joke, Guan Yu greeted Xun You first, then ordered Wei Yan to get two more bowls of porridge, and finally smiled at Zhang Liao, "Wen Yuan, have you finished counting the prisoners?"

"good."

Zhang Liao answered, and then sat down on the ground.

Zhang Liao was born in northern Xinjiang, so he was not used to water at all. After being rocked on the boat for so long, he felt even more exhausted than after a battle. At this moment, his legs were as heavy as lead.

"What is the quantity?"

Guan Yu looked around with the bowl in his hand, and found that the soldiers were eating deliciously, and they didn't look at them at all, so he squatted down and continued to ask.

"This time we have captured more than 1 enemy soldiers, which can be described as a complete victory." Zhang Liao said, "As for the enemy soldiers who died in the fight last night, there may not be less than 4000. Someone captured an enemy The military captain interrogated him and learned that Cao Mengde had a total of 3 soldiers and horses yesterday."

Hearing this, Guan Yu frowned and said, "In other words, there are still more than [-] people missing. Maybe they fled with Cao Mengde, or maybe they broke up."

"Yes, that's exactly the reason. It's just that in the situation last night, Cao Mengde could take away no more than 5000 troops in a hurry. As for the remaining 8000 people, they should have fled. Whether it will be used by the enemy again is yet to be known."

At this time, Wei Yan came over with two more bowls of porridge. Hearing this question, he immediately interjected: "Father, General Zhang, last night it was the last general who led the army to chase and kill Cao Mengde, so the last general dared to conclude that when Cao Mengde fled, his subordinates There are less than 3000 people."

Zhang Liao took the porridge bowl, nodded and said, "Even so, this time can be regarded as a heavy blow to the enemy."

Guan Yu said: "That's right, after the meal, Wenchang, you will report the results of the battle to Zichu, and at the same time ask him for instructions on what to do next."

"As ordered!"

Wei Yan clasped his fists in response.

Next to him, hungry Zhang Liao finished a bowl of rice porridge in two or three strokes, licked his lips and said to Guan Yu: "It takes several days for military orders to come and go. To the rear, after breaking up, they will be organized into farmers who transport grain and grass. In this way, we don’t have to raise them in vain, and it won’t lead to excessive corvee and arouse civil uprisings. I don’t know what General Guan thinks?”

After listening to Zhang Liao's words, Guan Yu didn't say anything, but Wei Yan next to him looked ashamed.

The gap between people is now vividly displayed!

Guan Yu smiled, first glanced at Wei Yan, and then replied: "That's right, that's what I meant, so it's hard for Wen Yuan to take a trip."

"What the branch office should do, how hard it is to talk about it!"

Zhang Liao handed the bowl to Wei Yan with a smile, and at the same time motioned him to give him another bowl.

……

As for Cao Cao who retreated at night, where is he now?
According to Gao EQ, he was on his way to Dingtao to report the battle situation to Yuan Shao.

According to low emotional intelligence, he is being hunted down.

It can be summed up in four words - cutting the beard and abandoning the robe.

It's just that the person chasing him this time is not Ma Chao, but Pang De.

Long before the start of the war, when Guan Yu led his army to Baima City, Chen Gong in the city noticed something strange, and immediately led his army to the tower, preparing to guard against death.At the same time, he reported the situation to Cao Cao and asked him to abandon Baimadu and return to aid Baima City.

After all, this trip is to confront the Xuzhou army across the river. Now that the enemy army has reached the bottom of the city, what is the confrontation with? Come back and defend the city!
It's a pity that although the messengers sent by Chen Gong broke through Sun Guan's siege, when they arrived at Baimadu, the battle had already started ahead.Among the chaotic army, the messengers couldn't find Cao Cao's location at all, and naturally they couldn't hand over the letter in their hands to Cao Cao.

This is also the result of Guan Yu's rapid advance, which caused Cao Cao to not know that Sun Guan's [-] enemy troops were under the White Horse City until he was defeated.

After hastily fleeing, Cao Cao led more than 3000 remnants of the defeated generals and went straight to Baima City. After all, there were still [-] troops left by him there. Right now, he was alone and might be overtaken by the enemy at any time. Only the city is safe.

In the dark night, Cao Cao led his army to run wildly all the way. When he was about to arrive at Baima City, he was greeted by Sun Guan's team waiting in full battle.

After seeing this scene, while Cao Cao panicked, he finally understood why Chen Gong didn't notify him in advance.

With the enemy army in front of him, Cao Cao couldn't enter the city, so he could only continue to flee.But this wave was really abrupt at night, and it immediately alarmed the Sun Guan brothers and Pang De in the camp.

They hurried out of the camp to watch, although they didn't know who was coming, but they were coming from the bank of the Yellow River, so they didn't need to know who was coming.

Anyway, it's not one of our own, so just kill him directly!
Cao Cao saw an army coming out of the enemy camp and came straight towards him. He immediately turned his horse's head and ordered to continue to retreat.

And this wave of silence naturally alarmed Chen Gong upstairs in the White Horse City.

Of course, he couldn't see clearly that it was Cao Cao, but judging from the defeat of this remnant army, Chen Gong immediately understood that there was also a battle at Baimadu ahead, and his side seemed to be defeated.

After thinking hard for a long time, Chen Gong made a decision to break out at night.

After all, there are not enough enemy troops under the city, and the breakout will be successful.

But if he waits for the enemy army at Baimadu to return from victory, and join forces with the enemy army in front of him to besiege the city, then he will only have a dead end.

The only thing that worries Chen Gong now is Cao Cao's safety.

But right now, I don't care about it anymore, following Chen Gong's order, the Cao Yuan coalition army in the city tidied up, opened the city gate and rushed out.

Seeing this, Sun Guan could only lead his army to fight.

On the other side, as early as when Cao Cao was discovered as an enemy army, Pang De asked Sun Guan for orders and led his army to pursue this enemy army.

Pound had a vague feeling that the first to retreat after the defeat must be a big fish, and he must not let it go.

Hearing this, Sun Guan immediately agreed, and even handed over the only one thousand cavalry in the general to Pound. Together with Pound's one thousand soldiers from the school office, he chased Cao Cao out at full speed.

How should I describe this chase...

Anyway, Cao Cao would never dare to stay in order to escape for his life.

And Pound also has a donkey temper, chasing after him and biting him to death without giving up.

The two armies chased each other from night to early morning of the next day.

After the sun rose, Pang De was overjoyed when he saw the word "Cao" on the big banner of the enemy army in front of him. He thought that he was indeed a big fish, and it was even more impossible for him to give up!
In the end, the horses under the crotch of both sides couldn't run anymore. Pound would rather lead the horse than continue to chase Cao Cao.

In this regard, Cao Cao has more than 1 MMP sentences in his heart!

On the other hand, because of the long journey, Xin Ping was almost as tired as a war horse, and almost foamed at the mouth.

There are countless soldiers left behind on the road.

When Cao Cao fled the battlefield, there were still 3000 people around him, but now there are only less than [-] people left.

And Pound wasn't much better, except for the [-] martial arts fighters from the school office who were relatively healthy and didn't fall behind, less than half of the [-] cavalry Sun Guan had sent him.

But Pound... just won't give up!

After all, he is a man who dares to carry the coffin and fight to the death. He would rather die exhausted on the way of pursuit than watch Cao Cao escape!

One is driven by the survival instinct, and the other is the mentally strong guy, both of whom are using their lives to challenge the limits of physical functions. This kind of sportsmanship is definitely worthy of respect and learning from future generations.

Time passed by little by little, and soon it was noon.

"Huh...huh..."

Panting heavily, Pang De pointed at Cao Cao's troops who were also powerless hundreds of steps ahead, and shouted loudly to the soldiers behind him: "Brothers... the man in the red robe ahead... is Cao Mengde, the leader of the bandits. ...the one who kills Cao Mengde...the Lord will definitely reward you!"

Hearing this, Cao Cao almost twisted his nose with anger.

You're about to lose your strength and die, and you still don't want to let someone go!

But Cao Cao is no better than Pound now.

In desperation, Cao Cao had no choice but to take off the cloak behind him, and continued to run panting heavily.

Seeing this, Pang De shouted again: "Brothers... the bearded man... is Cao Cao..."

Cao Cao: ...

Keng!
With the sword out of its sheath, Cao Cao raised the saber at his beard, and his face immediately changed into the shape of his grandfather.

"Brothers... the beardless... is Cao Cao..."

Pound's voice was much softer than before, and the gasp in his words was also much stronger than before.

But Cao Cao didn't dare to give up his vigilance. After hearing the words, he immediately tore off a corner of his clothes, quickly covered his face, and turned into a masked thief.

Now you can never find me!
"Brothers... Meng... Meng... The masked man is Cao Cao..."

Every time Pang De said a word, he had to expend endless energy.But what he lacks most now is strength.

Cao Cao was completely helpless. The extreme exhaustion made him not want to go for half a step, but the instinct to survive forced him to run again.

While feeling uncomfortable, there was a sound of horseshoes in the distance.

"My lord, come quickly!"

After all, Chen Gong succeeded in breaking through the siege, and walked south according to the route originally planned by Cao Cao, but happened to meet Cao Cao.

"Hahahaha, the public platform is so good, I am truly immortal!"

Seeing that he was about to be rescued, Cao Cao burst out of strength from nowhere, and his voice was full of energy.

On the other hand, Pound immediately became pale.

He failed to pursue Cao Cao, and now he even has to pay for it, how can he accept it?

But the amazing thing is that after Chen Gong received Cao Cao, he didn't stop for a moment, and continued to walk south without even looking at Pang De and the others.

Just when Pound was puzzled, he heard the sound of fighting again, and it was Sun Guan who led the army to kill.

Pound: ...

No wonder Chen Gong didn't kill himself, it turned out that he was being chased just like Cao Cao.

It's a pity that this time, after all, he failed to take Cao Cao's dog's life!

The duck that was about to reach its mouth still flew away...

Pound, who was exhausted, couldn't hold on any longer, and sat down on the ground, thinking bitterly in his heart.
