The Strongest Overlord of the Three Kingdoms

Not only did Cao Hong not get up, he kowtowed instead.Xia Houshang also broke down in tears.

Cao Cao sighed, did not continue to insist, but continued to look at the night.

"My lord, the food is getting cold, you might as well eat first." Wang Hou cupped his hands.

His intentions were good, but he was worried that Cao Cao would be hungry.

But where can Cao Cao eat it?

Reminiscent of the previous celebration... Cao Cao was extremely ashamed.

"Drag him out and chop him up."

Wang Hou was stunned, he didn't know why Cao Cao was suddenly angry.

"My lord, spare my life! My lord, spare my life!"

However, no one took pity on him, especially the generals and counselors who flattered him before, they kept silent like cicadas.

If Cao Cao pursues it, they will have a hard time.

Jiang Ji shrank his neck and learned a lesson.

Click!

Wang Hou's head fell to the ground, just under the city wall.

Then the guards brought Wang Hou's head up. Cao Cao took a look at it and waved to the guards to take it away.

Half an hour later, the two generals Cao Zhen and Cao Chun also came back, looking very embarrassed.

They looked at Cao Hong and Xia Houshang who were still kneeling on the ground, and they also knelt down.

"My lord! Please punish me!"

Cao Cao held back his grief and said, "It's good to be back safely. It's late at night, so let's all go down and rest."

Everyone didn't know why, but Cao Cao had already strode away.

"My lord!" The four generals looked at each other, seeing their helplessness.

The next day, Cao Cao had an unbearable headache, but he still insisted on getting up early.

Jiang Ji had been waiting for a long time.

"How were the casualties last night?"

Every time Cao Cao said a word, he suffered a lot.

Jiang Ji stayed up all night last night just to make statistics. This is a thankless job, but he has to bite the bullet and do it.

Because he knew that Cao Cao would definitely ask, and if he couldn't answer, the consequences would be disastrous.

"This time our army fought with 56900 tiger and leopard cavalry and 25697 pot guards, a total of [-] horses. Among them, [-] tiger and leopard cavalry returned, and [-] defenders returned..."

Cao Cao raised his hand, and just about to shoot the case, he suddenly gave up.

The tiger and leopard cavalry were his most elite troops. How could he not be sad when nearly half of his troops were lost in one fell swoop.

It's all Cao Cao's hard work!

Of course, some of them were captured, but those captured by the Yangzhou Army, can they come back?

Certainly not.

Even if it can be redeemed with ransom, Cao Cao can't afford so much money.

Counting the loss of armor and weapons... Cao Cao was in pain.

Seeing Cao Cao in pain, Jiang Ji was also very sad.

"The Yangzhou army suffered about [-] casualties."

A total of [-] people were injured and killed.

Jiang Ji could only come up with a rough figure, after all, he couldn't go to the Yangzhou military camp to count the number of people.

"At least [-] people in the Yangzhou Army have lost their combat effectiveness."

That's barely good news.

"My lord, the fourth general requests punishment."

Jiang Ji presented the details of last night's battle.

Except for Cao Chun's greed at the beginning, his subsequent performance was not bad.

Cao Hong's attack was unfavorable, but Zhang He was also held back.

Xia Houshang successfully destroyed the well rail and the catapult.

Cao Zhen rescued the tiger and leopard cavalry, and cut off the rear.

"Forget it, it's not a crime of war."

Jiang Ji disagreed with Cao Cao's view that he should be punished if he lost the battle.
