Cao Thief

Chapter 347 Zhang He (12)

Yuan Shao is defeated!

But not a rout...

Cao Cao won!

But there are too many factors that cannot be copied.

Cao Cao was very sober, and he didn't raise his little tail because of the victory in front of him. He only ordered to pursue for ten miles, and then withdrew his troops and returned to the camp.

Facts have proved that this ten-mile pursuit is just right.

Ju Shou heard that Yuan Shao was defeated, and immediately mobilized troops to rescue him.

If Cao Cao continues to pursue, it will inevitably turn into a tragic encounter.If an encounter occurs, it will not be a good thing for Cao Cao.

Yuan Shao was still in shock, and after returning to Yanjin, he finally came to his senses and jumped into a rage in the large tent of the Chinese army.

At this time, Jushou had not returned.

Guo Tu rolled his eyes and immediately stepped forward and said, "My lord, this battle is quite strange."

"Oh?"

"When Cao Cao was retreating, Ju Ze ordered Zhang He to stand still. After the lord attacked, Cao Cao concentrated his troops and horses to attack, and Zhang He's whereabouts are still unknown... There must be something strange. I thought it was Ju Ze who colluded with Cao Cao? I heard people say , before Jushou crossed the river, he ordered people to return home and sent away his family members... My lord, do you think it is Ju Dudu who supervised him..."

Talking to seven points is enough!

After hearing this, Yuan Shao couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

This battle is indeed a bit weird!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++
The sky was bright and it was raining lightly.

Under the command of Cao Jun, the people at Duting Bridge successfully crossed the river in an orderly manner.Cao Cao immediately ordered people to destroy the pontoon bridge, and then ordered to retreat towards Honggoushui.At the same time, he ordered Lejin to continue to garrison Fengqiu to prevent Yuan Jun from attacking Jishui and attacking Chenliu County in the south.

Jia Xu, Guo Jia, and Cheng Yu felt the gap between them, and greeted Cao Cao's troops.

That night, the army was stationed by the chasm.

Cao Peng fell into a deep sleep, and didn't wake up until midnight.The bones and frames all over his body were extremely sore, which was obviously caused by exhaustion.The camp was very quiet. Two large candles were lit, illuminating the small military tent so transparently that Cao Peng could clearly see it.

"Ziyou!"

Cao Peng called softly.

Xia Houlan, who was dozing off next to her, woke up suddenly, and walked up to Cao Peng in three steps at a time, "My lord, you're finally awake."

"I am..."

"After the fierce battle in Xiaotan in the early morning, you actually slept on the battlefield.

Sikong saw that you were too sleepy, so he ordered me to carry you back, and then retreated with the army... You slept for a whole day...Sikong sent people over several times to inquire about your situation.It can be seen that you slept deeply, so I ordered me not to wake you up.We are now at the border. "

"Gap?"

Cao Peng closed his eyes, and said softly after a while: "So, we won?"

He remembered that Cao Cao launched a Jedi counterattack in the early morning.It's just that he was so sleepy at the time that it was not clear what the result would be.

Now it seems that Cao Cao may have won the battle in Xiaotan!
Xia Houlan nodded and said, "Exactly."

"It's not a small loss."

"The Yueqi Battalion was almost wiped out, and the Huben Army lost more than [-]%. The rest of the troops suffered casualties. I heard people say that in the battle of Xiaotan, the casualties should be around [-]."

Cao Peng took a breath.

Three thousand, almost more than [-]% of Cao Jun's elite.

Thanks to the elites, they could barely hold on.If it is the county soldiers and the village brave, I am afraid that they have been completely defeated.

This time, Cao Cao's loss was not small...

In the Battle of Yanjin and the Suanzao round, Cao Cao's losses may not have been so great.Three thousand elites!It was indeed shocking.

Xia Houlan went on to say: "However, Yuan Jun's loss is even greater.

It is said that at least 6000 people died, and there were countless deserters.If Jushou hadn't led his troops to rescue, maybe even Yuan Shao would have fallen in Xiaotan.Sikong also said that the reason why Xiaotan was able to defeat first and then win, young master should remember the first merit, let you have a good rest, after crossing the river tomorrow, Sikong will summon you in Zhongmou. "

Cao Peng found that Xia Houlan's eyes flickered when she spoke, and she suddenly felt ominous.

"Ziyou, do you have something to hide from me?"

Xia Houlan showed sadness, and said softly: "My lord, more than half of Hei Yan and Fei Yan were killed or injured."

During the Three Kingdoms period, there were thousands of people at every turn, and tens of thousands of people fought. To Cao Peng, one hundred thousand soldiers were just floating clouds, and it didn't matter much.But Fei Xuan and Hei Xuan are different, they are real soldiers, and they have followed Cao Peng for at least a year.

Cao Peng's personal guards were not too many, and the total number of Hei Yan and Fei Yan was only a few hundred.

This time, he brought 300 people over, and later added another hundred Feiyan.More than half of the loss is definitely a huge loss for Cao Peng.Although Cao Peng was mentally prepared, he could not help but sit on the couch when he heard such a result, speechless for a while.

"Now there are only 80 Feiyans left, and there are only a hundred Heiyans..."

"Has the corpse ever been gathered?"

"The battlefield is so chaotic that it is impossible to tell the difference."

Cao Peng signaled Xia Houlan to take a mattress and put it under her body.

He pondered for a moment, then said softly: "Let Derun count the list, after returning, each family will receive ten gold.

Think of a way in the future, at least give everyone an identification mark.Brothers died in battle, we can't do anything else, but at least give them a spiritual seat.How about this, you ask Derun to write a letter to Xingyang and order the workshop to create some famous brands. "

"famous brand?"

"It's just a small iron piece. Write your name or number on it, and wear it on a chain to make it easy to identify."

Cao Peng said while making gestures.

After Xia Houlan wrote it down, she got up and walked out of the military tent.

After a while, Kan Ze, Gan Ning, Hao Zhao, and Hande rushed into the army tent.

"Son!"

"Okay, okay, don't act like a child." Before they could speak, Cao Peng waved his hand to refuse their shouting.Come to think of it, it's actually quite embarrassing.In just one month, he fell into a coma twice.Although this time it was exhausted, it was still a bit embarrassing.

After signaling everyone to sit down, he gave Han De a surprised look.

Kan Ze quickly explained, "After we withdrew, the Duting Camp was incorporated into other parts.

Originally, Xinzhi's department was going to be transferred to the Yueqi camp, and Xinzhi wanted to stay with the young master, so he let the trilogy go, but he stayed here.Xingbazi Youbodao and I both think that Xinzhi is a real person.The young master will definitely need more manpower in the future, so he agreed. "

"My lord, please take it in!"

Han De was a smart man, and he knelt down in front of the couch to beg.

In the eyes of many people, Hande's behavior seems a bit stupid...

But Hande knew very well that a person like him who had no foundation had no other choice but to fight with his life if he wanted to get ahead.If he went to the Yueqi Camp, he could indeed become a military commander.But if you want to improve, I'm afraid it will not be easy.

If you stay with Cao Peng, it will be different.

Cao Peng wants to be famous, to have military exploits, to have qualifications, to be born, to be born...

The gathering of these four points is destined to have an inestimable future for Cao Peng.Especially when Cao Peng was carried back, the blood-stained cloak that was covered on his body was said to be taken off by Cao Cao and covered Cao Peng himself.Following Cao Peng is definitely no worse than going to the Yueqi camp as an army Sima.Han De joined the army in the first year of Jian'an, and he was only a small military marquis in five years; it can be seen that almost all the people around Cao Peng have achieved fame.Even Kan Ze, who has no power to restrain a chicken, is now the head of a battalion, ranking above the commander of the army...

Cao Peng, how could he treat himself badly?
Looking at Han De, Cao Peng finally remembered his origin.

This guy seems to have appeared in the romance, but only in the later stage.At that time, Han De had become a partial general, and he had four sons, who were known as the five tigers of the Han family, and they were also considered titans.It's just that I met Zhao Yun later and was killed by Zhao Yun... It's a pity when I think about it.

Today's Hande is just a small person, and has not yet married a wife and had children.

Gan Ning said: "Xin's martial arts are not bad, but he is only inferior to Ziyou. He is willing to come here, but he is a great helper for you."

Cao Peng nodded, "If that's the case, let's believe it first."

He also knew that he couldn't keep Gan Ning by his side forever.As Gan Ning made great achievements time and time again, sooner or later he would be sent out for great use.And in Cao Peng's heart, he also hoped that Gan Ning could make a fortune, instead of staying by his side all his life and being a thug.

If this is the case, then Gan Ning has been wronged.

On this point, Cao Peng didn't think carefully.

If Gan Ning goes out, even if he becomes prosperous in the future, he will still carry his mark.

It is better to have such a person to support her than to fight alone.After the battle of Yanjin, Cao Peng discovered that there are too many uncertain factors in this history.Originally, the Battle of Yanjin was not so difficult, but now it has become extremely tragic.

Although Yan Liangwen Chou was killed, Cao Jun also suffered a lot.

How much advantage do you have in your own 'overall situation'?Even Cao Peng couldn't tell.

It's a good choice if someone outside helps you.At this time, Cao Peng really hoped that he could support Gan Ning and others to take the position.The sooner they take the position, the greater the influence, the better for themselves.If Gan Ning left, Hande's coming would be a supplement.

Zi Long?

It's out of reach for now!
Then others...

Cao Peng couldn't think of it for a while.

Just let Han De stay by his side temporarily and train him well, he is a good hand.

Thinking of this, Cao Peng readily agreed.And Han De was even more excited, because he saw a broad road...

Xia Houlan brought a bowl of porridge and handed it to Cao Peng.

After a night of fierce fighting and another day of lethargy, Cao Peng was already hungry.He was lying on the couch, drinking porridge and chatting with everyone.

From the words of the people, Cao Peng learned that Cao Cao had arrived in Zhongmou.

It seems that the battle of Guandu has completely kicked off.I just don't know if Yuan Shaojing is defeated in Xiaotan, will he still have the courage to fight again?
However, this is no longer something Cao Peng needs to consider!
"By the way, when Qu Yuju was retreating, we captured two people.

One of them said that he was a member of the Julutian clan, named Tian Fang, who had come to join Sikong.But because Sikong was busy retreating at that time, and the young master was unconscious, so he couldn't report in time.He is currently being held in our camp, waiting for the young master to be released. "

"Julu, Tian?"

Cao Peng was startled when he heard this, and looked at Kan Ze in astonishment.

"It's Yuan Shao's clansman of Biejia Tianfeng in Jizhou."

"Tian Feng, wasn't he imprisoned by Yuan Shao in Ye City prison? Why did Tian Fang surrender?"

"This one……"

Kan Ze looked at the people in the tent, and said softly: "Every wealthy family will plan ahead.

Just like Xun Shangshu, he and Xun Duwei are both sons of the Xun family, and they are counselors under the lord's command; but Xun Shangshu's second brother, Xun Chen, is indeed Yuan Shao's counselor.It is said that this time Yuan Shao sent troops, and Xun Chen was also one of the main fighters.Come to think of it, Tian Fang also wanted to follow the example of the Xun clan. "

Don't put all your eggs in one basket!

This is also the most common practice of aristocratic families.In troubled times, they survive by looking for different lords; in ruling the world, they grow stronger by attaching to different parties.However, Cao Peng didn't know much about it, so he asked Kan Ze.

Cao Peng immediately understood Kan Ze's explanation.

He pondered for a moment, "Is Tian Fang still in the camp now?"

"Exactly."

"Bring him here."

As Cao Peng said, he asked someone to help him up from the couch, and then finished the porridge.

After a while, Han De led a man into the military tent, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, the man has been brought here."

Cao Peng looked up and saw that Tian Fang was probably less than thirty.The height is around 175, and he is also a good-looking talent.

He walked into the big tent, did not kneel down, but held his head high with a haughty look on his face.

"Are you Tian Fang?"

"Exactly."

"I heard that you are going to surrender to Sikong?"

"No, but for Sikong's great cause."

Surrender what?can you speak?This is called defecting to Cao Cao, not surrendering to Cao Cao.

Cao Peng frowned, and said softly: "The lord is not here now, and even if you go, he probably won't have time to meet you... I can send you to Zhongmou, but whether the lord will see you or not depends on your luck." "How about this, I'll have someone send you away at dawn."

He doesn't like Tian Fang, because he doesn't like Tian Fang's tone.

Cao Peng has always been that you respect me one foot, and I respect you one foot.If you want to play tricks in front of me and pretend to be cool, I don't want to see you either.

Don't you want to see Cao Cao?
Okay, I'll take you there...

Tian Fang cupped his hands arrogantly, "If that's the case, thank you in advance."

After finishing speaking, he hesitated for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "I have one more question to ask, how do you plan to deal with Junyi?"

"Junyi?"

Cao Peng was startled, "What does Junyi have to do with me? My lord has sent people to guard it."

"It's not Junyi, it's Junyi! It's General Zhang He."

Perhaps it was because of the accent that Cao Peng misheard and mistook the name of a person for a place.But when Tian Fang said the word "Zhang Yun", Cao Peng could hear it clearly.Zhang He?He is not under Yuan Shao's command, and he is not my prisoner, how can I deal with him?

"You mean, the general Yuan who was captured in Ta Village was Zhang He?"

Kan Ze also knew Zhang He's name, and when Tian Fang mentioned Zhang He's name, he was startled for a moment, and then came to his senses.To be honest, they didn't really know that the person captured in Ta Village was Zhang He.I just thought it was an ordinary Yuan general, so I didn't pay attention.After the Battle of Xiaotan was over, they were so busy retreating first, and then worried about Cao Peng's safety that no one went to ask about it.

If Tian Fang hadn't mentioned it at this time, I'm afraid no one would have known that Zhang Yun, one of the four court pillars in Hebei, has become a prisoner...

Cao Peng couldn't help frowning, and after pondering for a moment, he said: "Tomorrow morning, send him and Zhang He to Zhongmu together."

After finishing speaking, he stared at Tian Fang again, "If you have nothing else to do, you can go back first. Don't worry, I will not deal with Zhang He, the Lord will make his own decision."
