Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 262 After the War
"Our army won a complete victory, set fire to Wuchao, and beheaded Yuan Shao's generals Han Meng, Jiang Qi and others!" Cao Cao roared loudly. "Defeating Yuan Jun is just around the corner!"

"Roar! Roar!" Cao Jun shouted in unison, and the morale of the whole army burst out.

Cao Cao nodded in satisfaction, "The big account discusses the matter!"

The battle damage was counted very quickly: 7000 people were killed and injured in the defense of Guandu by Cao Jun, and 3000 were killed in battle.The Xuzhou army suffered 2000 casualties, [-] were killed in battle, the cracked earth camp was disabled, and the old man's camp was almost wiped out.After attacking Wuchao, Cao Jun's tigers and leopards rode back with [-] people, of which [-] were injured, half of them were serious.The Xuzhou Lightning Camp only returned three hundred riders.Hua Xiong was killed in battle, Zhou Cang, Le Jin, and Chen Dao were slightly injured.

Cao Cao and Zhou Cang bared their teeth in distress, Zhou Cang was especially distressed.

"Although our army suffered losses in this raid on Wuchao, we burned Wuchao's granary and beheaded at least [-] Yuan Jun and five generals. It can be regarded as a great success. Zhou Weiguo should be the first. The guards of the lords will protect us. Not losing the battalion is a great achievement, and we will award rewards together after defeating Yuan Shao." Cao Cao praised everyone, and he made a small fortune, so if so many people were killed or injured, he would save a lot of rations, and the army would last at least three days longer.No one thought that the extra three days would be the key to the victory or defeat of the two armies.

"Zhang Xiu, Cao Hong, clean up the corpses and bury them, and hand over the injuries to Li Dian and send them back to Xudu for treatment."

It is customary for the two armies to allow time for both sides to clear the battlefield.Otherwise, if the corpse rots, the plague will easily break out. No matter how many troops you have in the face of the plague, it will be for nothing, and it will even spread the plague to the states and counties under your own rule. It will be a catastrophe. No one dares to take such a risk .

It's a pity that Hua Tuo's Baiyao has not been developed yet, and Zhou Cang deeply feels his own powerlessness.Less than [-] of the [-] Lightning Battalion remained, and the cavalry accumulated by Zhou Cang for many years was completely abolished. It was almost impossible to rebuild. People can be recruited, but where do the horses come from?

"Xun You, send more scouts to inquire about Yuan Jun's movements, and report as soon as you find any changes!"

"Guo Wei is injured, go back and recover." Cao Cao said apologetically, Zhou Cang.

"Yes! There is nothing wrong with this injury." Zhou Cang returned to his camp, and there were still many things to do to deal with the aftermath.

"My lord, how will Xu You deal with it?" Xun You asked.

That's right, until now I still can't figure out which side Xu You is on. Everyone looked at Cao Cao.

"Leave him alone, Zhongkang keeps an eye on him, don't let him move around."

"Yes!" Xu Chu was willing to do this job, but Xu You had long disliked it.With Cao Cao's order, if Xu You finds trouble again, Xu Chu doesn't mind letting him see his punch the size of a sandbag.

"All the generals arranged for the soldiers to rest and prepare for the next battle. After defeating Yuan Shao at the celebration banquet, I am drinking with you all."

"This battle is extremely dangerous. Fortunately, Zhou Weiguo is here, otherwise our army would not be able to win." Cao Cao said, leaving Xun You and Guo Jia behind. "It's a pity that his general Hua Xiong died in battle, a rare and powerful general."

"My lord, I think Zhang Jaw is also unusual. He commanded properly. Only more than 1 soldiers and horses can hold the right flank, which can be called a general. In addition, at the critical moment, he also thought of breaking the enemy with a catapult, so as to guarantee Guandu will not be lost." Xun You still has nothing to say, Chen Dao has sent people for help several times, he can at least dispatch 2000 people but he didn't send them out, but he just asked Cao Hong to support him once he found that Xuzhou was facing collapse, since he wanted to think about it Xuzhou soldiers, to consume Xuzhou's troops, is also to prevent Xuzhou's soldiers from rebelling.

Cao Cao had known Zhang Jai's talent for a long time, but it was the first time he encountered Zhang Jai commanding a battle. "I heard that Zhang Jaw is the number one general under his command, and his reputation is indeed well-deserved."

"His foster brother Pei Yuanshao has defeated Yuan Tan repeatedly, as well as Xu Huang from Lujiang and Gan Ning from Guangling, they must not be much weaker." Guo Jia said otherwise.

Xun You took over the conversation: "However, judging from Zhou Weiguo's performance these few times, he is doing his best to serve the Lord."

The three fell into a long silence.

"It's all hard work. Let's go back and rest first." Cao Cao finally put down such a sentence.After staying up all night and fighting non-stop, Cao Cao felt tired, age is not forgiving.

Nearly half of the Tuzi battalion was lost, and the cracked tu battalion retained the battalion number, and the soldiers were temporarily assigned to the Panshi battalion.In this way, only 7000 people from the Panshi Battalion and more than 200 cavalry were left around Zhou Cang.He also sent Chen Dao to lead the wounded soldiers back to Xuzhou for treatment, and transported Hua Xiong's body back for burial.

Sending off Chen Dao, Zhou Cang lay on the couch without sleep all night: After coming to the Three Kingdoms, he chose to become a vassal occupying a state in order to survive, but as a result, new troubles came one after another. Not only his own survival, but also his Survival of the men.Can occupying a state be stable?I took it for granted a little too much.After the Battle of Guandu, if he gave up his military power and resigned to live in seclusion, he might be able to spend the rest of his life in peace, but Zhou Cang can't convince himself or his subordinates now.I feel sorry for the dead Hua Xiong.

Yuan Shao was furious: out of the [-] carefully selected elites, there were less than [-] left, and half of them were injured. "Gao Lan, Zhang Nan! How did you fight?"

"My lord, Guandu has been prepared for a long time and seems to be waiting for us to attack." Gao Lan explained.

"My lord, it's not because the subordinates are not working hard, nor is it because the soldiers are not working hard. When the breakthrough is about to take place, the opponent suddenly throws stones, and our army suffers heavy casualties. It seems that they are just waiting for this moment." Zhang Nan, a well-behaved man, how could he not Know how to pull yourself out. "Cao Jun's catapults are really powerful. The sky is full of stones, and soldiers can't stand it at all!"

"Hmph!" Yuan Shao turned to look at Guo Tu, "How's Wuchao going?"

The judge was taken aback, why did he ask Guo Tu?Guo Tu replied: "After seeing the beacon fire in Wuchao, Han Meng took Wanqi to Wuchao. It has been more than three hours now, and there is still no reply. There was a fire in Wuchao more than an hour ago. I have sent out horses, presumably There will be news soon."

"Huh? You can reach Wuchao in an hour. How did it take so long?"

Yuan Shao and Guo Tu felt a little uneasy, but the judge felt that Wuchao was as stable as a rock, and there were 3 reinforcements. Even if Cao Cao had [-] troops, it would be impossible to break through Wuchao.

"Report, General Chunyu asks to see you!"

"Let him in now."

On the way, Chunyu Qiong had already done his homework. He drenched his body with blood, drew two knives on his arm reluctantly, and carried a big burden on his back. "My lord, this subordinate is incompetent, Wuchao is lost!"

"Ah? How could this happen!" Yuan Shao was taken aback, and Guo Tu also widened his eyes. "Where did Jiang Qi and Han Meng go? Why are you alone?"

"It's a long story. Listen to me slowly, my lord. After receiving the order from my lord, I sent Jiang Qi to inspect it, and repeatedly told him to be careful. After receiving Jiang Qi's report that he found Cao Jun, I immediately lit the beacon and strengthened the defense. "

"Done right, then what?"
